The type CDGl1 relay is a heavily

minimum time/current characteristic. The relay gives selective phase and earth fault overcurrent protection in time graded systems to transformers, a.c. machines and feeders, etc., and ensures that a minimum number of circuit breakers are tripped to clear a faulted section (see Application Sheet R-50871.
The operating coil is wound to give time/current curves of the same shape on each of seven current taps which are selected by a plug setting bridge. The highest current tap is automatically selected when the plug is removed, so that adjustments can be made on load without open-circuiting the current transformer The relay has a high torque movement to ensure consistent timing even under adverse conditions, and a low burden and overshoot. Adjustment of the time setting is made by rotating a knurled moulded disc against a graduated time multiplier scale. A high set overcurrent unit (type CAG ) can be fitted in the same case to provide instantaneous protection under maximum short circuit

Auxiliary units and operation indicators Shunt reinforcing or series seal in auxiliary attracted armature units with a hand reset operation indicator can be fitted. Relays supplied without an auxiliary unit have a hand reset operation indicator mechanically operated by the disc. Standard coil ratings Voltage operated (shunt) auxiliary units: 30, 110, 125 or 220 V d.c. at a nominal burden of 3 W continuously rated.
