Type CDAG Combined Overcurrent and Earth Fault Relay

Type CDAG Combined Overcurrent and Earth Fault Relay

Features
l

Identical time/current characteristics on all taps for overcurrent units. Instantaneous sensitive earth fault protection. High stability on external earth faults for restricted earth fault protection. Comprehensive range of auxiliary and highset unit ratings for phase faults. Dust tight drawout case and tropicalised finish.

Types CDAG 31, 33 and 34 are type CDAG relays having inverse, very inverse and extremely inverse time overcurrent units respectively and an instantaneous earth fault unit, type CAG 14. Types CDAG 51, 53 and 54 are types CDAG 31, 33 and 34 relays having highset instantaneous units on the two overcurrent elements.

Continuously variable external stabilising resistors of 200 ohms and 50 ohms are supplied as standard for 1A and 5A relays respectively. Stabilising resistors with other ohmic values are also available. Operating time

Description
Type CDAG is a triple pole relay and comprises two induction disc units (type CDG 11, 13 or 14) for phase fault protection and an instantaneous attracted armature unit (type CAG 14) for restricted earth fault protection. Types CDG 11, 13, 14 and type CAG 14 relays are described in the relevant publications. A highset instantaneous overcurrent unit can be fitted on the two overcurrent elements to provide instantaneous protection under maximum short circuit conditions and to improve discrimination on time graded protective systems. For a general description of the highset instantaneous unit, refer to the CAG 17 publication.

Phase fault units Typical impedance/current curves for the various types of phase fault units are given in the CDG 11, 13 and 14 publications. CDG 13 CDG 14
