MVAX 11
Tripping and Interposing Supervision Relay
The type MVAX 11 relay supervises the trip circuit of tripping relays such as the MVAJ or interposing control relay type MVAW. The relay is an attracted armature unit of simple and robust construction having a positive action without chatter. It has two dropping resistors R1 and R2 of equal ohmic value, connected in series with the coil. Under healthy conditions the relay coil is energised via the dropping resistor R2 as shown in Figure 1 (interposing relay circuit) and in Figure 2 (tripping relay circuit). If the circuit being supervised becomes open circuited or if the supply fails, the relay will become deenergised and an alarm or visual indication will be given. To prevent the alarm being given when the circuit being supervised is operated, the relay coil is maintained via the dropping resistor R1. For this purpose, an additional normally open contact is required from either the push button in Figure 1 or tripping relay contact in the case of Figure 2. ORDERING OPTIONS

TECHNICAL DATA
> Voltage ratings
The relay is available for use on any of the following standard supplies: 30/34, 48/54, 110/125, 220/250, dc volts.
> Resetting
At 120% of nominal volts the MVAJ or MVAW relay will reset even if the MVAX 11 relay coil or the safety resistor becomes short-circuited.
> Pick-up
With maximum pilot resistance the relay will pick-up at less than 80% of lower nominal volts.
> Caution
The MVAX 11 is not suitable for use with single stacked MVAJ 11 relays or special trip relays MVAJ 26 and MVAJ 56.
> Contacts
The number of contacts available is 4 in any combination with up to 2 normally closed. Make and carry Continuously 7500 VA subject to maxima of 30A and 300V dc. Make and carry for 3s 1250 VA with maxima of 5A and 300V dc. Break 50W dc resistive 25W inductive (L/R = 0.045)
> Burdens
The relay burden for voltage ratings below 220/250V is less than 2W. For 220/250V, burden is 4W.
> Case
Type MVAX 11 relays are housed in size 2 cases (see Figure 3).
