Types CDV22 and CDV62

The type CDV relay is a voltage controlled inverse lime
overcurrsnt relay incorporating an instantaneous under­
voltage unit, for fault and overload protection of generators.
Types CDV22 and CDV62 are single and triple pole versions
respectively.
l he relay has two operating characteristics determined by the
operation of the instantaneous under~voltage unlt, mon:toring
the busbar voltage. On overloads, when the bushar voltage is
usually near' normal • .the relay opera1es on a long IDMT
characteristic to match the thermal characteristic of the
generator. Under fault conditions, when the busbar voltage
taUs, the relav operates on a standard IDMT characteristic and
can be time graded with other IDMT relays in the system. The
setting ts reduced to allow operation on the low value of
sustained fault current encountered especially on machines
operating without automatic voltage regulation.

CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

Basically the relay is an induction disc unit type COG 11
{see R·OO9Oi with wound shading coils shunted by a resistor
giving the long time characteristic.
When the busbar voltage falls under fault conditions, a contact
on the under-voltage unit short circuits the shading coils,
jncreasing the torque on the disc 2 % times, adjusting the
rYPe CDV22 re/av
setting Current by a factor of 0.4.

There are two standard types of CDV relay.
