    4.0 APPLICATION : ‘The Buchholz Relay (BR) is a control and safety device which detects abnormal functioning inside a transformer, ‘The working of the relay is based on the fact that any failure of the active part of an oil filed transformer produces gas inside the tank and/ or causes a surge in oil 2.0 CONSTRUCTION : For figures in bracket refer Part List of Fig.1 ‘The main body (3) and the cover (4) of BR are made of leak proof aluminum die casting, The design is very compact. The BR can be installed easily due to integral flanges provided on main body (8). The volume of the {gas collected inside the relay can be seen through ‘graduated inspection toughened glass windows (12) provided on both sides of the main body (3). The cover (4) holds two floats & one fap to sense the oil surge. Two Rood Switches (magnetic switches) are linked to the swing of floats. The connection from both switches is brought in the TB with cover (6). A gas release cock with ccap and chain (6) & electic circuit test device with cap(7) {for manual checking of Switches is provided on the cover (4) of BR. Air injection test device with cap (11) is provided on the cover (4) for checking functioning of switches by pumping air into BR. A drain cock with cap and chain (1) is provided at the bottom of the main body. 3.0 WORKING : 3.1 The BRhas a chamber in which gas generated in the tank due to fault gets collected. When the collected gas exceeds volume of 200-300 co, the top float goes down thereby operating Switch for Alarm. Simiary the switch ‘or Tip gets operated when gas continues to accumulate further. 3.2 Switch for Tp also gets operated when heavy fault in transformer creates a surge of oil These switches can be used for initiating safety system to protecttrip the transformer. 4.0 FEATURES : 4.1 Light weight. Easy to handle. 4.2 Easy to read the volume of gas in BR, 43 Reliable operation of floats & switches. 4.4 Withstands seismic vibrations. 4.5. Use of mercury is avoided by using Reed Switches. 48 Taking sample of gas for analysis is easy. 47 Weather proof terminal box (5) & easy to connect terminals. 4.8 Two entries (9) n terminal box for incoming cable. Any one can be used to suit site condition. 5.0 CALIBRATION : 5.1 Alarm switch : Gas Volume between 200 to 300 ce. 52 Tip Switch Steady Flow of Oil Between 90 to 160 cmisec.
