TYPE SBD11B
DESCRI PTION
The type SBD11B is a single phase, high speed, high impedance static differential
relay. It was specifically designed to provide bus differential protection, but it
may also be used for differential protection of shunt reactors.
The SBDI1I3 relay is provided with a target seal-in unit and comes mounted in a
standard 52 size drawout case. Outline and panel drilling dimensions for the relay
are shown in Figure 22. The internal connections for the relay are shown in Figure
13.
Three SBDI1B relays plus one multi-contact lockout relay of the HEA type comprise a
complete terminal of multi-phase and ground fault protection.
APPLI CATION
The type SBD11B is a static high speed, high impedance, single phase relay that was
specifically designed to provide differential protection for high and low voltage AC
buses. However, because of its design and sensitivity, this relay may also be used
for shunt reactor differential protection. While the normal bus scheme requires
three SBD1IB relays one per phase
-
the number of relays required for the
-
protection of shunt reactors depends on the scheme employed. The different schemes
are discussed below.
1. All of the CTs employed in the differential circuit should have negligible
leakage reactance on the taps used. Most, if not all, modern multi—ratio
hushing and column type CTs meet this requirement. All CTs wound on toroidally
shaped cores meet this requirement if the windings (on the taps used) are
completely distributed around the core. If the CTs to be employed do not meet
this requirement, it may still be possible to apply the SBD11B relay provided
the leakage reactance is known. In that case, the leakage reactance is added
algebraically to the resistance of the fault CT circuit.
2. All of the CTs employed must be set on the same tap ratio. While a mixture of
multi—ratio CTs nay he used, it is essential that the taps used result in all
of the CTs having the same ratio. Where CTs with taps set on other than the
full winding are employed, it will be necessary to determine that the peak

voltage developed across the full winding due to auto transformer action does
not exceed the insulation breakdown values for the connected equipment. This
requires a very simple calculation using the equation derived in the section
under OPERATING PRINCIPLES and repeated in the section under CALCULATION OF
SETTINGS. Aside from this simple calculation, NO SPECIAL CALCULATIONS OR
EQUIPMENT ARE REQUIRED WHEN MIXED RATIO CTs ARE USED.
3. En general, maximum sensitivity will be attained when the CTs are set on the
highest available tap. Therefore, where all of the CTs are of the same ratio,
the full winding should be utilized. Where all of the CTs are not of the same
ratio, use the highest available tap setting that will permit all of the CTs to
be set on the same ratio.
4. In general, dedicated CT5 should be used with the SBD11B relays. However, it
is possible to insert other devices in the CT circuits as long as their
impedances are accurately known and added algebraically to the CT winding and
cable resistance. Such applications will require higher pickup settings, and
as a consequence will provide less sensitive protection. This should be
evaluated before a decision is made to add other devices in the SBD11B
circuits.
5. In order to ensure a proper relay setting, all cable and CT secondary winding
resistances should be evaluated before a decision is made to add other devices
in the SD11B CT circuits.
7. When the CT circuits of the bus differential zone are unbalanced, such as when
circuit breakers are to be bypassed for maintenance purposes, it is recommended
that studs 5 and 6 on each of the SBD11B relays in the circuit be shorted
together and that the trip circuits be opened. This may be accomplished by the
use of a differential cut-out switch or by removing the relay test plugs. It
should be done prior to unbalancing the CT circuits in order to avoid any
misope ration.

GEK-45451
9. The SBD11I3 relay is presently available in two models, differing only in the
basic current sensitivities. One model has a sensitivity of 0.5/1.0 rms
amperes, while the sensitivity of the other is 0.5/2.5 rms amperes. The relay
having a sensitivity of 0.5/1.0 amperes should be used in those applications in
which lightning arresters are not connected to the bus. For those applications
in which lightning arresters will be connected to the bus, the relay having a
sensitivity of 0.5/2.5 amperes should be used. The higher current setting (2.5
amperes) should be used if the arresters are already present; otherwise use the
lower setting (0.5 amperes) until the arresters are connected.
10. A contact of the auxiliary lock-out relay, device 86, should be connected
across studs 3 and 6 of the SBD11B relay to short out a portion of the input
circuit after a trip output has been initiated. This will allow the relay to
operate as a straight overcurrent function following device 86 operation and at
the same time protect against exceeding the short-time rating of the SCRs. The
relay may be used in any application where the total secondary current is not
more than the current waveform of a fully offset fault, with 215 amperes rms
syninetrical available, provided the auxiliary lockout relay has an operating
time in the order of 16 milliseconds. The SBD relay acts as a straight
overcurrent device once the lockout relay has operated, and may be used as part
of a breaker failure backup scheme.
BUS PROTECTION
Three SB[)11B relays applied on a per-phase basis, plus an auxiliary lockout relay,
provide a complete terminal of bus protection for both multi-phase and single—line-
to-ground faults. Typical external connections to the relays are shown in Figures 1
and 2. The connections are illustrated for a bus with three circuits, but the
protection can easily be extended if more circuits are added to the bus. For
additional circuits, it is only necessary to connect the CTs associated with the
added circuits to the respective junction points and to connect contacts of the
lockout relay in the respective trip circuits. The relay voltage tap setting is
based on determining the maximum voltage that can be developed across the
differential junction point during an external fault. Calculation of the maximum
voltage is easily made and methods for doing so are given in the section
under
CALCULATION OF SETTINGS. A sample calculation for a bus differential scheme is also
given in that section.
Differential protection of shunt reactors may be provided by using only one SBD11B
relay, or three SBD11B relays may be used in the application if desired. Typical AC
external connection diagrams for these schemes are shown in Figures 3 and 4.
The DC
connections will be similar to those shown in Figure 2. Where only one relay is
applied, protection will be provided for ground faults only. The scheme utilizing
three SBD11B relays will provide protection for both multi-phase and line—o-ground
faults. Calculations of the voltage tap setting are made using the same basic
equation as used in any scheme employing the SBD11B relay. The procedures to follow
in calculating the voltage tap setting for either scheme are provided in the section
under CALCULATION OF SETTINGS.

GE K— 45451
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The SBD11B differential relay is a high impedance device that operates from the
instantaneous value of the CT secondary voltage to which the relay is connected.
The diagram of Figure 1 illustrates typical external AC connections to the relay for
use in a bus differential scheme. It can be noted from this diagram that a
conventional differential connection is utilized; i.e. the CTs associated with all
of the circuits off the bus are connected in wye and paralleled at one location on a
per-phase basis. One SBD11B relay per phase is required to provide complete
protection for the bus. The relay will operate to trip when the instantaneous
voltage applied across studs 5 and 6 exceeds its voltage pickup setting and the
fault current is greater than the basic sensitivity setting.
While the CTs need not be of the same ratio, it is required that they all be set on
the same tap. Under these conditions, the voltage developed across the relay during
normal system conditions will be very small. If the CTs all performed ideally and
did not saturate, the same would be true for faults external to the zone of
protection. However, CTs are not ideal and they do saturate.
Equation (1) above yields the peak voltage developed at the relay for a completely
offset wave of current having an rms syninetrical value of IF secondary amperes.
Because the SBD11B relay is calibrated in symmetrical rms volts, equation (2) below,
which yields the rms value of the above voltage, is used in the section on
CALCULATION OF SETTINGS.
VR = F CR
1 5 + 2RL) (2)

GEK—45451
CAUTION
If DC supply is re.oved, studs 5—6 should be shorted by pulling the
connection plug. If this is not done1 and If there is no backup
protection, the SBD relay could be damaged due to continuous fault current
flow through the SCRs of the SB!) relay.
The pickup of the SBD11B must be set above the value of this rms voltage and above
the rms value of the other voltages obtained in a similar manner on all the other
circuits off the bus. Because the peak voltage is proportional to the fault
current, the highest possible value of expected fault current in rms synmietrical
amperes should be used in making the evaluation.
During internal faults on the bus, all of the CTs will be operating into the
relatively high Impedance of the SBD11B. Under these conditions, the maximum
average voltage that can be produced will be limited to values as dictated by the CT
secondary excitation characteristics. Examination of a typical CT secondary
excitation characteristic will show that the average voltage levels off beyond the
knee of the curve. However, the peak voltages that can be produced are not
Indicated on the standard excitation curve. The peak voltages will always be
greater than indicated by the average, and will continue to increase in magnitude as
the excitation is increased. Because these peak voltages will be much greater than
the peak voltages experienced during external faults, and because the SBD relay
operates as a function of the instantaneous voltage, the relay can be set to be
selective between internal and external faults. An indication of the peak voltages
that a CT can produce can easily be determined by a simple modification to the CT
secondary excitation characteristic. The modification is shown by the lines CPB in
Figure 7, which now define the excitation characteristics as a function of the peak
voltages. Studies have shown that the peak voltages produced will be at least equal
to or greater than those established by the modified characteristics. These
characteristics are useful in determining the minimum internal fault for which the
SBD11R relay will operate. The method for making the modifications, and their uses
in determining the sensitivity, are given in the section under CALCULATION OF
SETTINGS.

GEK—45451
triggered alternately until the associated lockout relay operates. When the SCRs
fire, the CT circuits will be shorted and the total secondary fault current will
flow through the SCR circuits and hence through the primary of current transformer
Ti. If the total secondary fault current, and hence the primary current of Ti, Is
above the pickup level of the relay, an output will be provided via the output
relay, A.
For convenience, the SBIJ11B relay voltage tap settings are calibrated In terms of
rms synmietrical volts and all calculations for settings are made in terms of rms
synnetrical quantities. The relay responds to the instantaneous value of applied
voltage, and this maximum instantaneous value can be 2v’2 or 2.83 times VT, the tap
setting of the relay. As soon as the SBD operates, the shorting action of the SCR
path reduces this voltage to a very low level. Thus the maximum peak voltage that
can be produced in the differential circuit will be limited to the value as
calculated In equation (3) below.
Where CTs with taps set on other than the full winding are involved, the voltage
developed across the full winding of these CTs can be greater than the differential
circuit voltage as a result of autotransformer action. For example, consider the
simple circuit of Figure 8. The voltage in the differential circuit, and
consequently across CT1 and CT2, will be limited to VR. But the voltage across the
full winding of CT3 will be greater by the ratio of the total number of turns of the
CT to the actual turns used.

where: VF = voltage across the full winding
The voltage across the full winding (VF) should not exceed the insulation breakdown
of the connected equipment. The value of the actual peak voltage that can be
produced for any relay tap setting and mixed multi—ratio CT combination may be
evaluated using equation (4) above.
RATINGS
VOLTAGE RANGE
The standard voltage range is 50 to 350 volts rms, 50/60 Hz. The taps are 50, 100,
150, 200, 250, 300 and 350.

VOLTAGE RATING
It is the nature of the application of this relay that voltage is not applied
continuously. For calibration and test purposes (see ELECTRICAL TESTS in the
ACCEPTANCE TESTS section) it may be of value to apply input voltage for times longer
than the few milliseconds of voltage the relay would experience during an Internal
or external power system fault. For test and calibration purposes, the relay has
been designed to withstand 75% of tap setting continuously. For voltages above
this, see Figure 15.
FREQUENCY
The relay Is designed for operation in ambient air temperature from _200C to +550C.
DC SUPPLY
The relay Is designed for operation on any of three DC voltages: 48, 125, or 250
volts. The voltage selecting link must be set to the correct voltage. Consult a
General Electric Sales representative for any other DC voltage ranges.
AC CURRENT
The rms pickup current of the SBD relay can be set for either of two values and is
selectable by a link at the front of the relay. There are two models available,
with current sensitivity settings of 0.5/1.0 and 0.5/2.5 rms amperes.
Rating - Continuous - 10 amperes rms
1 second — 160 amperes rms syninetrical
5 cycles — 480 amperes rms symetrical
2 cycles — 215 amperes rms fully offset
Note: The current circuits can withstand 10 amperes continuously. However, the
output telephone relay should not be energized for longer than 2 minutes.
The relay will withstand 1500 volts for one minute applied between all studs tied
together and the frame.
Note that all external connections to the surge ground stud (stud 4) must be
removed before hipotting, to avoid damage to the surge protection capacitors.

of the applied voltage is equal to twice the peak value 4% of an rms symmetrical
voltage equal to the voltage tap setting; i.e.,
Note that this voltage VR is also equal to the peak voltage of a completely offset
voltage wave having an rms syninetrical value equal to the voltage tap setting. In
other words, the SCRs will fire whenever an rms symmetrical vol tage greater than
twice tap setting is applied, or whenever the corresponding peak voltage is exceeded
on an instantaneous basis by an applied waveshape. When the SCRs fire, the relay
will produce an output, provided the total secondary fault current that flows in the
relay is greater than the pickup current setting.
PICKUP CURRENT
Pickup current is defined as the rms value of a symmetrical sinusoidal current that
must flow in the primary of Ti (see internal connections, Figure 13) in order to
provide a contact output. Two models of SBD relays are available with current
pickup settings of 0.5/1.0 and 0.5/2.5 i 10% rms amperes.
OPERATING TIMES
Typical operating times are shown in Figure 18. The dropout time is 15 milliseconds
or less.

Pickup Current may vary an additional 20% over the operating temperature range.

multiplier P must be set equal to two. On the other hand, the CT secondary
currents during balanced three—phase faults result in 0 current in the return
cable; thus only the one—way cable resistance is involved, and P is set equal
to one.
4. The resistance of the CTs and connecting cables will increase with increasing
temperature; therefore, if adequate margin is to be maintained at all times,
equation (6) should be evaluated using resistance values corresponding to the
maximum expected operating temperature.
The methods to be used in calculating the voltage tap setting using equation (6)
will to some extent be dependent on the type of application. The following comments
are made with respect to the different areas in which the SBD11B relay may be
applied.
1. Bus Protection — Two methods will be outlined for evaluating equation (6) in
order to determine an appropriate relay voltage tap setting.
The first method offers a simplified conservative approach to the problem and
requires that equation (6) be evaluated only once. With this method, it is
assumed that a single phase-to-ground fault with a current magnitude equal to
the maximum interrupting rating of the breaker occurs on the feeder associated
with the CT having the longest cable run from the differential junction point.
Under these assumptions, the effect of the fault current, iF is maximized, and
so is the effect of cable resistance, because the highest value of resistance
is used and P is set equal to 2. Thus, the highest possible value of VT will
be obtained.
The second method offers an exact approach but requires that equation (6) be
evaluated a number of times in order to obtain the maximum VT. With this
method, calculations must be made for the rnaximuni single phase-to-ground fault
and the maximum three-phase fault just off each of the n feeders on the bus.
Therefore, equation (6) must be evaluated 2n times, using the associated value
of cable resistance and P 1 or P = 2, as required.
In general, Method II will produce a lower voltage tap setting than Method I,
but Method I is simpler to utilize. The user should begin with Method I. If
the voltage tap setting resulting from the use of this method results in
adequate sensitivity, a unique advantage is realized since the setting does not
require recalculation following future changes in the power system
configuration that result in higher fault current magnitudes. If the
sensitivity resulting from the use of Method I does not prove adequate, then
Method II should be used.
a. Use the maximum interrupting rating of the circuit breaker as the maximum
external single phase-to-ground symmetrical fault current (IF).
13
GEK-45451
d. Select the highest available voltage tap (VT) that just accommodates the
voltage calculated iii c above.
d. Use the highest of the 2n values of VT so obtained, and select the next
higher available tap setting that acconinodates this value.
Where CTs are to be used on other than their full windings, the application should
be evaluated after a voltage tap has been selected, to determine that excessive
voltages are not developed across the full windings of these CTs as a result of
autotransfornier action. It is desirable to limit the peak value of the voltage to
less than the insulation breakdown of the connected equipment. It has been shown in
the section under OPERATING PRINCIPLES that the peak voltage across the full winding
can be calculated as follows:
VF (2.83)(VT)(N1) (4)
N2
N2 =
Number of turns in CT tap used
See Figure 8 for an illustration of the above terms. If VF is less than the
insulation breakdown, and if the current rating of the CT is not exceeded, the
application is permissible. Equation (4) should be evaluated for the CT having the
highest N1/N2 ratio. If the condition of equation (4) is met for this CT, then it
will also be met for the remaining CTs.
After the voltage tap setting has been established for an application, a check
should be made to determine the minimum internal fault current that will just cause
the relay to operate. The following expression can be used to determine the minimum
internal fault current required for a particular tap setting:

intersects the line A-B drawn in 3. above. See line C-D in Figure 7.

SAMPLE CALCULATION
The various steps for determining the setting of the SBD11B relay in a typical bus
application will be demonstrated with the aid of a worked example. Assume the
protected zone includes five breakers, all rated at 69kv, 15Oiiva, 1200 amperes,
with a maximum interrupting rating of 12,500 amperes. The excitation curve for the
1200/5 bushing CTs in these breakers is shown in Figure 7.
The 0.5 ampere sensitivity setting will be used. The voltage tap setting will be
determined by using Method I as described in the preceding section. The value of RS
from Figure 7 is (O.0019)(240)-m-2(O.0341) = 0.524 ohms. It is assumed that this
resistance corresponds to the maximum expected operating temperature. It is further
assumed that the longest CT cable run is 442 feet and that number 10 copper wire is
used. The one-way cable resistance at 250C is 0.450 ohms. The resistance value of
wire at 25°C or at any temperature Ti may be corrected to any temperature T2 by
means of the following equation.
RT2 = [1 = P1 (T2-T1)]Rii

Substituting the various quantities in equation (6) yields:
VT 100 volts
Since the CTs are all used on the full winding, there is no need to check that
excessive voltages will be produced in the CT circuits.
Now that a tap has been selected, the sensitivity may be calcula
ted following the
procedure outlined in the section under MINIMUM FAULT TO TRIP.
The sensitivity of the relay, or the minimum fault to trip from equation (7) is:

CONSTRUCTION
The Type SBD relays are assembled in the small size double—ended (S2) drawout case
with studs at both ends in the rear of the case for external connections. The
electrical connections between the relay and the case studs are through stationary
molded inner and outer blocks, between which nests a removable connecting plug. The
outer blocks have the terminals for the internal connections.
Every circuit in the drawout case has an auxiliary brush, as shown in Figure 9, to
provide adequate overlap when the connecting plug is withdrawn or inserted. Some
circuits are equipped with shorting bars (see internal connections in Figure 13),
nd on those circuits it is especially important that the auxiliary brush make
contact as indicated in Figure 9 with adequate pressure to prevent the opening of
the important interlocking circuits.
The relay mechanism is mounted in a steel framework called the cradle, and is a
complete unit with all leads terminated at the inner blocks. This cradle is held
firmly in the case with a latch at both top and bottom and by a guide pin at the
back of the case. The connecting plug, besides making the electrical connections
between the respective blocks of the cradle and case, also locks the latch in place.
The cover, which is drawn to the case by thumbscrews, holds the connecting plugs in
place. The target reset mechanism is a part of the cover assembly.
The relay case is suitable for either seriiiflush or surface mounting on all panels up
to two inches thick, and appropriate hardware is available. However, panel
thickness must be indicated on the relay order to ensure that proper hardware will
be included. Outline and panel drilling are shown in Figure 22.
A separate testing plug can be inserted in place of the connecting plug to test the
relay in place on the panel, either from its own source of current and voltage, or
from other sources. Or the relay can be drawn out and replaced by another which has
been tested in the laboratory.
These relays, when not included as part of a control panel, will be shipped in
cartons designed to protect them against damage. immediately upon receipt of a
relay, examine it for any damage sustained in transit. If injury or damage
resulting from rough handling is evident, file a damage claim at once with the
transportation company and promptly notify the nearest General Electric Sales
Office.
Reasonable care should be exercised in unpacking the relay in order that none of the
parts are injured or the adjustments disturbed.
If the relays are not to he lnstdlled immediately, they should be stored in their
original cartons in a place that is free from moisture, dust and metallic chips.
Foreign matter collected on the outside of the case may find its way inside when the
cover is removed, and cause trouble in the operation of the relay.

When the relay is received, check the nameplate stamping to ensure that the model
number and rating of the relay received agree with the requisition.
Remove the relay from its case arid check that there are no broken or cracked molded
parts or other signs of physical damage, and that all screws are tight.
MECHANICAL INSPECTION
Check that the fingers on the cradle and the case agree with the internal connection
diagram. Each cradle finger should be flush or project above the between—finger
barriers. Check that there is a coil spring under each finger. The case fingers,
if not held down by a shorting bar, should come within 1/16 inch of touching a
straight-edge bridging the case block from side to side. If the finger is held down
by a shorting bar, opening the electrical circuit between the finger and the
shorting bar should require at least one pound (450 grms.) of force. See Figure 9.
Check that each auxiliary brush extends above the between—ñnger barrier.
Operate the telephone relay unit manually by pushing on the armature. Check that
the movement is free of binding or roughness. Check that the normally—closed
stationary contacts follow the moving contacts before they open. The normaHy—
closed contact at the top of the stack should open last. All contacts, when in the
open position, should have 0.015 inch or more gap. The nonnally—open contacts
should have at least 0.005 inch travel after closing. This can be checked by
putting a 0.005 inch shim between the armature and the pole piece, closing the
armature by hand, and checking that each normally-open contact still closes. As the
normally—closed contacts cannot be tested using a shim, they may be checked by
measuring the force applied to the stationary contact which is required to open the
contact. This should be at least 10 grams.
Pick up the armature by hand. The orange target should appear. When the armature
is released, the target should remain in view. Push in on the reset arm. The
target should drop from view.
Hold the armature up by hand. The target should not be at the end of its travel.
Verify this by reaching in one of the windows of the target with a sharp instrument
such as a scribe or knife and pushing upward. The target should move definitely
upward (at least 1/64 inch). Release the armature; the target should fall visibly
downward (at least 0.010 inch) before the target is caught by the latch.

ELECTRICAL TESTS
CAUTION
Remove ALL power from the relay before removing or inserting any of the
printed circuit cards. Failure to observe this caution may result in
damage to and/or iiisoperation of the relay.
Since all drawout relays in service operate in their cases, it is recommended that
they be tested in their cases or an equivalent steel case. In this way any magnetic
effects of the enclosure will be accurately duplicated during testing. A relay may
be tested without removing it from the panel by using a 12XLA13A test plug. This
plug makes connections only with the relay and does not disturb any shorting bars in
the case. Of course, the I2XLA12A test plug may also be used. Although this test
plug allows greater testing flexibility, it also requires CT shorting jumpers and
the exercise of greater care, since connections are made to both the relay and the
external circuitry.
All alternating current operated devices are affected by frequency. Since non—
sinusoidal waveforms can be analyzed as a fundamental frequency plus harmonics of
the fundamental frequency, it follows that alternating current devices (relays) will
be affected by the applied waveform.
Similarly, relays requiring DC control power should be tested using DC and not full
wave rectified power. Unless the rectified supply is well filtered, many relays
will not operate properly due to the dips in the rectified power. Zener diodes, for
example, can turn off during these dips. As a general rule, the DC source should
not contain more than 5% ripple.
CAUTION
When performing the following electrical tests it is very important to
adhere to the length of time that voltage and/or current is applied to the
relay. The SBD relay is designed to perform satisfactorily during in—
service operation when applied per the APPLICATION section and within the
limits called for in the RATINGS section. The relay is not rated for
continuous operation, with some of the voltages and currents applied, when
perforninq all the following electrical tests.
Voltage Pickup
Set the SBD relay to the 50 volt tap setting (which is the equivalent of 100 volts
rms symmetrical pickup as tested) located on the front of the relay, and connect the
relay per the test diagrdm in Figure 11.
GEK-45451
CAUTION
Do not apply voltage to the SBD relay for longer than
not re-apply voltage more often than once every 10 seconds and do
2 minutes.
Set the relay to the minimum voltage tap setting. Set the pickup current link
located on the front of the SBD relay to the
desired current pickup setting.
Connect the relay per the test diagram shown in
Figure 16. Increase the current
until the telephone relay (RT) operates and the
lamp lights. This is the actual
pickup current, and must be within 10% of the curre
nt pickup setting (either 0.5 or
1.0).
[ CAUTION
The full voltage test, because of the high power requirements
and
potential danger due to high voltages, with the possibility of damag the
the SBD relay due e to
to improper test procedure, is an optional test and
to the discretion left
of the user.
21
GEK-45451
When a voltage greater than twice the tap setting is applied, and enough current
flows in the relay, the SBD will provide a contact closure, picking up the HEA,
which will remove the AC source from the SBD relay. The auxiliary relay shown in
Figure 17 provides the removal of the AC voltage should a malfunction occur. Note
voltage tap setting , if the
that, even though the applied voltage exceeds the
required pickup current does not flow, the SBD relay will not operate and
consequently the auxiliary relay will operate, protecting the SBD relay, and
indicate a malfunction.
Observe the relay’s short time ratings when performing this test. An oscilloscope
or high speed oscillograph may be used to observe the operation of the relay.
OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS when performing the full voltage test. Carefully
connect the SBD relay as shown in the test diagram of Figure 17. With 52 open and
Si closed, set the voltage, as read on the rms voltmeter, greater than two times the
tap setting selected to be tested. Open Si and close S2, in that order. The relay
is now ready to be tested. Note that R (current limiting resistor) in Figure 17 is

the full voltage test will duplicate fault conditions.
CAUTION
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
CONNECTIONS
The internal connection diagram for the Type SBD is shown in Figure 13. The
external connection diagrams are shown in Figures 1 through 4.
22
GEK-45451
Stud 4, the relay surge ground, should be connected to the station ground bus, using
the shortest and most direct route.
The voltage tap plug and the current tap plug should be moved to the desired
settings.
TARGET/SEAL-IN UNIT
Set the target/seal—in unit tap screw In the desired position. The contact
adjustment will not be disturbed if a screw is first transferred from the left
contact to the desired tap position on the right contact, and the screw In the
undesired tap Is then removed and transferred to the left contact.
H I POT
See High Potential Testing section under ACCEPTANCE TESTS.
In view of the vital role of protective relays in the operation of a power system,
it is important that a periodic test program be followed. The Interval between
periodic checks will vary depending upon environment, type of relay and the user’s
experience with periodic testing. Until the user has accumulated enough experience
to select the test Interval best suited to his individual requirements, it
is
suggested that the points listed under ACCEPTANCE TESTS be checked at an interval of
from one to two years.
CONTACT CLEANING
For cleaning relay contacts, a flexible burnishing tool should be used. This is
a
flexible strip of metal with an etch—roughened surface, which in effect resembles
a
superfine file. The polishing action of this file is so delicate that no scratches
are left on the contacts, yet it cleans off any corrosion thoroughly and rapidly
.
The flexibility of the tool ensures the cleaning of the actual points of contact.
Relay contacts should never be cleaned with knives, files, or abrasive paper or
cloth.
RENEWAL PARTS
Sufficient quantities of renewal parts should be kept In stock for the prompt
replacement of any that are worn, broken or damaged.
When ordering renewal parts, address the nearest Sales Office of the General
Electric Company. Specify the name of the part wanted, quantity required, and
complete nameplate data, including the serial number, of the relay for which the
part is required.
Since the last edition, changes have been made on pages 7 and 8 in the OPERATING
PRINCIPLES section, on p.9 in the VOLTAGE RATING paragraph, in the CONNECTIONS
section on p.23, and in Figure 22.
