Voltage Controlled Overcurrent Relay

CDV22 relay is used for overload and fault protection

for ac generators when the sustained short circuit
current is less than the full load current. The presence
of a fault is detected by an under voltage element
and the relay setting is adjusted accordingly.

The relay will withstand 16 times rated current for 3 seconds on
any setting Frequency error
A frequency variation of 2 Hz gives timing errors of less
than 8%. The time grading of a protective system would
be unaffected by this small error since all relays would be
similarly affected.

Temperature error
For an overload equal to four times the current setting, the
percentage timing errors at ambient temperatures of +45°C
and -5°C are respectively -3% and +4%.

Auxiliary units and operation indicators

The relay has an auxiliary unit fitted with two pairs of self,
hand, or combined self and hand reset contacts, arranged
to reinforce the disc contact. It is also fitted with an op-
eration indicator which can be hand reset by means of a
push-rod protruding through the relay case.Auxiliary units
are shunt connected (voltage operated) or series connected
(current operated). The series connected auxiliary unit is
