8.3.4 Checking the trip delay For static relays like IRP1, maintenance testing will be
performed at least once a year according to the
experiences.
To check the trip delay, a timer to is be connected to the
trip relay contact. The timer should be started
simultaneously with the current injection in the current
input circuit and stopped by the trip relay contact. Apply
rated voltage to the relay and set the current to a value
corresponding to twice the pickup value and inject the
current instantaneously. The trip delay measured by
timer should have a deviation <3% of the set value or
20 ms (in case of a short trip delay).

protective relaying with MR - and IR -relays of our equipment in case of under or overvoltage.
HIGH TECH RANGE offers several advantages.
Among other the relay can be used:
All MR protection relays are based on microprocessor
technology. They present the generation of our most
efficient protection relays, because of their capabilties to detect voltage increase or decrease in power-
to process the measuring values digitally and to generating systems and energy supply networks
perform arithmetical and logical operation.
to protect from dangerous overvoltage in case of
a faulty voltage controller
Additional advantages such as very low power to protect motors against undervoltage
consumption, adaptability, possibilities for self-
supervision, flexible construction, selection of relay to protect the generator stator against earth-fault
characteristics are completely utilized. (IRU1-E only)
earth-fault supervision in isolated or compensated

Some IR protection relays are based on microprocessor networks (IRU1-E only)
and some on analog technology. They present our low-
priced protection relay generation and are used for all
