1. Introduction
When compared with traditional protection systems the protective relaying with MR- and IR-relays
of our HIGH TECH LINE offers several advantages.

All MR protection relays are based on microprocessor technology. They present the generation of
our most efficient protection relays, because of their capabilities to process the measuring values
digitally and to perform arithmetical and logical operation.
Additional advantages such as very low power consumption, adaptability, possibilities for self-
supervision, flexible construction, selection of relay characteristics are completely utilized.

Some IR protection relays are based on microprocessor and some on analog technology. They
present our low-priced protection relay generation and are used for all basic protection application.

The following properties of the IR protection relays, such as:

 Integration of multiple protection functions into one compact housing,

 User-friendly setting procedure by means of DIP-switches,
 Compact design due to SMD-technique,

are their superiority over the traditional protection systems.

For all applications of a more complex nature, e.g. directional earth fault detection and where oper-
ating convenience, fault analysis and communication ability are required, MR-relays are used.

All relays of the HIGH TECH LINE are available for through panel mounting and in 19“ racks.
Connection terminals are of plug-in type.
All IEC/DIN regulations required for the individual application are reliably met by these relays.

In the following the IRU1 functional description always refers to the version IRU1-UO. With a few
exceptions (no overvoltage supervision for the IRU1-U, no under-voltage supervision for the IRU1-
0, only earth-fault volt-age supervision for the IRU1-E) all functions are valid for the other units, too.

Manual IRU1 SEG Electronics GmbH

4.1.1 Voltage measuring inputs

Via terminals A3 to A8, the analog input signals of the phase-to-neutral or phase-to-phase voltages
are fed to the protective device. In medium- and high-voltage networks voltage transformers are
necessary. In low-voltage networks the mains voltage can be applied directly to the measuring in-
put circuits.

Both connections of each input transformer are led to terminals. Due to this phase-to-neutral or
phase-to-phase voltage supervision is possible.

The rated voltage declaration of the relay obtains the voltage between these terminals (e.g. A3/A4).

4.1.2 Output relays

Output relay IRU1-UO
The IRU1-UO is equipped with one tripping relay for overvoltage and one for undervoltage supervi-
sion each with two change-over contacts:

Tripping U<: D1, C1, E1; D2, C2, E2 (also available at the IRU1-U)
Tripping U>: D3, C3, E3; D4, C4, E4 (also available at the IRU1-0)

Output relay IRU1-E

The IRU1-E provides one tripping relay with two change-over contacts:

Tripping UE>: D1, C1, E1; D2, C2, E2

SEG Electronics GmbH Manual IRU1

The front plate of IRU1-UO comprises the following operation- and indication elements:

 4 DIP-switches sets of for the setting of tripping values and trip delays
 5 LEDs for the indication of faults and the readiness for service
 1 pushbutton <RESET>

4.2.1 LEDs
The IRU1-UO front plate provides five LEDs, for indication of the following operation modes:

 ready for service LED ON (green)

 undervoltage alarm U<, top LED (yellow)
 overvoltage alarm U>, top LED (yellow)
 undervoltage trip U<, bottom LED (red)
 overvoltage trip U>, bottom LED (red)

The IRU1-E front plate provides three LEDs, for indication of the following operation modes:

 ready for service LED ON (green)

 residual voltage alarm UE>, top LED (yellow)
 residual voltage trip UE>, bottom LED (red)

4.2.2 DIP-switches
The 4 sets of DIP-switches on the front plate of the IRU1-UO serve to adjust tripping values and
times.

4.2.3 Push-button <RESET>

The pushbutton <RESET> is used to acknowledge and reset the LEDs and the tripping relay after
a tripping with the appropriate pre-adjustment (see 4.3).
Indications and output-elements, which are coded on latching, have to be reset manually by press-
ing pushbutton <RESET>.

Manual IRU1 SEG Electronics GmbH

4.3 Code jumper

At the rear of the front plate, are coding plugs for pre-adjustment of the LEDs' function as well as
for the trip relays' function.

 IRU1-UO four coding plugs

 IRU1-E two coding plugs

The function of alarm-LEDs (yellow) is not codeable. They light up as soon as threshold is exceed-
ed and they will extinguish automatically, if the threshold falls below the setting value.

Note:
At delivery of the relay all coding plugs are equipped with code jumpers.
The coding plugs are used for the following functions:
 coding plugs 1 + 2 undervoltage-element (U<)
 coding plugs 3 + 4 overvoltage-element (U>)

5. Working Principle
The IRU1-UO is equipped with a one-step independent over- (U>) and undervoltage (U<) supervi-
sion with separately adjustable pickup values and time delays. In delta connection the phase-to-
neutral voltages and in star connection the phase-to-phase voltages are continuously compared
with the set reference values.

Measuring principle:
The incoming analog voltages are galvanically de-coupled via the input voltage transformers and
subsequently filtered in order to minimize the influence of disturbing voltages. The voltages are
then compared to an internal reference voltage. If the voltage value falls below or exceeds the set
reference value a time circuit is activated and the appropriate output relay trips.

For the overvoltage supervision, the highest value of the three voltages, for the undervoltage su-
pervision, the lowest value of the three voltages is evaluated.

The IRU1-E is equipped with a one-phase and one-step voltage supervision (UE>) with adjustable
pickup values and time delays. The extremely wide voltage setting range has fine steps. Hereby
the residual voltage is continuously compared with the set reference values.

Measuring principle of IRU1-E:

The incoming analog voltage is galvanically decoupled via the input voltage transformer with sub-
sequently electronic data acquisition.
With the help of a low-pass filter and a following band-pass filter the 3rd harmonic will be sup-
pressed. The measured values will be compared with the set reference value. The relay picks up
the trip delay will be activated and the corresponding LED lights up if the measured value exceeds
the set reference value. After the trip delay has expired the relay trips.

6. Operations and settings

6.1 Layout of the operating elements
All DIP-switches required for the setting of parameters are located on the front plate.

6.2 Setting of parameters by means of DIP-switches

6.2.1 Setting of the pickup value for overvoltage supervision U>
With the aid of DIP-switch U> it is possible to adjust the pickup value for the U> tripping element in
the range of 50 - 224% UN. The pickup value is calculated from the sum of the individual factors
multiplied by the adjusted multiplication factor.

Example:
A tripping value of 128% UN is to be adjusted.

Figure 6.1: Setting example

6.2.2 Setting of the pickup value for the undervoltage supervision U<
With the aid of DIP-switch U< it is possible to adjust the pickup value for the U< tripping element in
the range of 30 - 122% UN. The pickup value is calculated from the sum of the individual factors
multiplied by the adjusted multiplication factor.

Example:
A tripping value of 90% UN is to be adjusted.

Figure 6.2: Setting example

DOK-TD-IRU1E Rev.A 15
SEG Electronics GmbH Manual IRU1

6.2.3 Setting of the pickup value for the earth-fault voltage supervision UE>
(IRU1-E only)
With the aid of DIP-switch UE> it is possible to adjust the pickup value for the earth-fault voltage su-
pervision in the range of 1 - 62% of UN. The pickup value is calculated from the sum of all individual
values multi-plied by the adjusted multiplication factor.

Example:
A tripping value of 20% of UN is to be adjusted.

Figure 6.3: Setting example

6.2.4 Setting of trip delay

Each according to the unit type, the trip delay can be set with the aid of the DIP-switch t in the
range of 0.1 - 62 s. The appropriate tripping value is calculated from the sum of the individual fac-
tors multiplied by the adjusted multiplication factor (1 or 20).

Example:
A trip delay of 14 s is to be adjusted.

Figure 6.4: Setting example

6.2.5 Indication of faults

For the fault indication the IRU1-UO front plate provides two LEDs for each function:

U>: upper LED indicates alarm (yellow), lower LED indicates trip (red)
U<: upper LED indicates alarm (yellow) lower LED indicates trip (red).

Manual IRU1 SEG Electronics GmbH

6.3 Reset
6.3.1 Reset by pressing pushbutton <RESET>
By pressing the pushbutton <RESET> the tripping relay is reset and LED U< or U> will extinguish.
For this purpose, it is necessary that all code jumpers are in position "OFF" (see also chapter 4.3).

6.3.2 Automatic reset

Code jumper 1+3
The red fault indication LEDs U</U> are coded on latching, if no code jumper is used on coding
plug 1 or 3.
The fault indication can only be reset manually by actuating the pushbutton <RESET>.
The red fault indication LEDs will be reset automatically after clearance of the fault, if code jumpers
are used on coding plug 1 or 3.

Code jumper 2+4

The tripping elements are coded on latching, if no code jumper is used on coding plug 2 or 4.
The corresponding tripping element can only be reset manually by actuating the pushbutton
<RESET>.
The tripping elements will reset automatically after clearance of the fault, if code jumpers are used
on coding plug 2 or 4.

7. Housing
The IRU1 can be supplied in an individual housing for flush-mounting or as a plug-in module for in-
stallation in a 19" mounting rack according to DIN 41494. Both versions have plug connectors.
Relays of variant D are complete devices for flush mounting, whereas relays of variant A are used
for
19“ rack mounting. Housing variant A to be installed in switchboards of protection class IP51. For
switchboards of lower protection classes housing variant D can be used.

7.1 Individual housing

The individual housing of the IRU1 is constructed for flush-mounting. The dimensions of the mount-
ing frame correspond to the requirements of DIN 43700 (72 x 144 mm). The cut-out for panel
mounting is 68 x 138 mm.

The front plate of the IRU1 is covered with a transparent, sealable flap (IP54).

For case dimensions and cut-out refer to "technical data". The individual housing is fixed with the
supplied clasps from the rear of the panel.

7.2 Rack mounting

The IRU1 is in general suitable for installation in a modular carrier according to DIN 41494. The in-
stallation dimensions are: 12 TE; 3 HE.

According to requirements, the IRU1-devices can be delivered mounted in 19" racks.

If 19" racks are used the panel requires protection class IP51. For switchboards with lower degree
of protection must be used individual housing.

7.3 Terminal connections

The plug-in module has a very compact base with plug connectors and screwed-type connectors.

 8 poles screw-type terminals (terminal connectors series A with a short time current
capability of 500 A/1s) for voltage circuits.
 27 poles screw-type terminals for relay outputs, sup-ply voltage etc. (terminal connectors
series C, D and E, max. 6 A current carrying capacity). Connection with tabs 6.3 x 0.8 mm
for cable up to max. 1.5 mm 2 or with tabs 2.8 x 0.8 mm for cable up to max. 1 mm 2.

By using 2.8 x 0.8 mm tabs a bridge connection between different poles is possible.
The following figure shows the terminal block of IRU1

8. Relay testing and commissioning

The following test instructions should help to verify the protection relay performance before or dur-
ing commissioning. To avoid a relay damage and to ensure a correct relay operation, be sure that:
 the auxiliary power supply rating corresponds to the auxiliary voltage on site
 the rated voltage corresponds to the plant data on site,
 the voltage transformer circuits are connected to the relay correctly
 all control- and measuring circuits as well as the out-put relays are connected correctly.

8.1 Power on
Note!
Prior to switch on the auxiliary power supply, be sure that the auxiliary supply voltage corresponds
with the rated data on the type plate.

When the auxiliary power supply is switched on (terminals C9/E9) please observe that the LED
"ON" is alight.

8.2 Checking the setting value

Due to a check of the DIP-switch positions, the actual thresholds can be established.
The setting values can be corrected, if necessary by means of the DIP-switches.

20 DOK-TD-IRU1, Rev. B
Manual IRU1 SEG Electronics GmbH

8.3 Secondary test

8.3.1 Test equipment

 Voltmeter with class 1 or better,

 Auxiliary power supply with the voltage corresponding to the rated data on the type plate,
 Three-phase voltage supply(adjustable from 0 - 2.4 x UN)
 Single-phase voltage supply(adjustable from 0 - 1.2 x UN, only IRU1-E)
 Timer to measure the operating time
 Switching device

8.3.2 Example test circuit with IRU1-relay

For testing IRU1 only voltage signals are used. Figure 8.1 shows an example of a single-phase test
circuit with variable voltage source.

Figure 8.1: Test circuit

DOK-TD-IRU1E Rev.A 21
SEG Electronics GmbH Manual IRU1

8.3.3 Testing of pickup- and reset values (IRU1-UO)

For testing the pickup values of U> and U<, the test voltage (AC) has to be connected to the relay
(terminals A3 / A4). When testing the overvoltage pickup value, at first the test voltage has to be
lower than the set pickup value for U>. Then the test voltage has to be gradually increased until the
relay picks up. This will be indicated by the upper LED U> (yellow). Reading of the voltmeter must
not deviate from the pickup value U> by more than ±1%.

For ascertaining the reset value of the overvoltage pickup value, the test voltage has to be slowly
de-creased until the output relay U> is de-energized (on condition of appropriate encoding). Upper
LED U< then extinguishes.
The reset value must not be greater than 0.97 times the pickup value i.e. the resetting ratio of the
overvoltage supervision is <1.

When testing the undervoltage pickup value, at first the test voltage has to be higher than the set
pickup value for U<. Then the test voltage has to be gradually de-creased until the relay is de-
activated. This will be indicated by the upper LED U< (yellow).
Reading of the voltmeter must not deviate from the pickup value U< by more than 1%.

For ascertaining the reset value of the undervoltage pickup value, the test voltage has to be slowly
in-creased until the output relay U< is energized (on condition of appropriate encoding).
Upper LED U< then extinguishes.
The reset value must not be greater than 1.03 times the pickup value i.e. the resetting ratio of the
undervoltage supervision is >1.

8.3.4 Trip delay test (IRU1-UO)

For testing the trip delay a timer has to be connected to the output relay U> or U<.
The timer has to be started at the same time as the test voltage will be switched on, and be
stopped in the instant of relay trip.
When testing the trip delay of the overvoltage pickup value, the test voltage must be higher than
the pickup value itself (e.g. pickup value +20%).
Same procedure has to be done in the similar manner for testing the trip delay of the undervoltage
pickup value.
The measured trip delay must not deviate from the set trip delay by more than ±5% or ±40 ms.

8.3.5 Pickup- and reset value test for the earth-fault element (IRU1-E)
For testing the earth-fault element a single-phase test voltage has to be connected to the relay
(terminals A3/A4). This test can be carried out in the similar manner as described in chapter 8.3.3.

8.3.6 Trip delay test for the earth-fault element (IRU1-E)

Testing the trip delay for the earth-fault element has to be done in the similar manner as described
in chapter 8.3.4.
For testing the trip delay for the earth-fault element a single-phase test voltage has to be connected
to the re-lay (terminals A3/A4).

Manual IRU1 SEG Electronics GmbH

8.4 Primary test

Generally, a primary injection test could be carried out in the similar manner as the secondary in-
jection test above. Since the cost and potential hazards are very high for such a test, primary injec-
tion tests are usually limited to very important protective relays in power sys-tem.

8.5 Maintenance
Maintenance testing is generally done on site at regular intervals. These intervals vary among us-
ers depending on many factors: e.g. the type of protective relays employed; the importance of the
primary equipment being protected; the users past experience with the relay, etc.

For static relays like IRU1, maintenance testing will be performed at least once a year according to
the experiences.
