veloped especially for "unfused outdoor medium volt-
age circuit breakers" in transformer- or distribution sta-
tions without station batteries. In quality and climatic
versitility the relay- and current transformer arrangement
meets all the requirements for compact outdoor sta-
tions. The current transformers WI1-W as well as unit
WI1-3 are protected through cast resin cases.

Unit WI1-3 requires no supply voltage. It draws the

necessary energy from the current transformer circuits
and from this also the energy for the tripping of the
c.b. is made available.

The tripping impulses of relay WI1-3 are repeated un-

til the primary current is interrupted. This is of advan-
tage when the c.b. does not trip, caused for instance
by dirt accumulation in the mechanism, and therefore
the fault current continues to flow. A tripping character-
istic required by the customer can be arranged ac-
cording to prior agreement.

For fine adaptation, relay WI1-3 is equipped with

terminal bridges (terminals 13-18).

For applications where higher levels of tripping
power are required, relay WI1-3 is available with
a potential free change-over contact (see Fig. 6,
terminals 1; 2; 3). All WI1-3 relays of this design
have a slightly greater tripping delay (max. 8ms)
(exception: characteristic curve 9; this period was
here already considered).

to the above ranges is fed into the test winding and
the pertaining tripping time measured.

Please observe:
Insignificant deviations to the ideal tripping time may
occur during the test. Because the input impedance of
WI1-3 is not linear the harmonic curve can "change its
form" acc. to the test current source. Furthermore the
actual tripping time is depending upon the impedance
of the primary current circuit in a small degree be-
cause it acts as additional load of the current trans-
former.
