DESCRIPTION
1. DESCRIPTION
The DBT is a digital trip coil supervision relay. This supervision includes: Integrity of coils (monitoring continuously their resistance). In case coils are in a good condition, the output COIL OK will be activated. Control voltage (supervision of low voltage). If voltage is correct, the output BREAKER VOLTAGE OK will be activated. Checks the breaker control circuit. If both control voltage AND coils integrity are correct, then the output BREAKER CIRCUIT OK will be activated.
Note: The activation of a NO (Normally Open) output means contacts will be closed, whereas the activation of a NC (Normally Closed) output means contacts will be opened. In its single-coil version, the DBT monitors coil continuity whether the breaker is open or closed. It also has a timing device to avoid indicating failure signals during opening to closing transitions. The three-coils version of the DBT can monitor three coils at a time, regardless of the position of the breaker, and with timer delay for transitions. In addition to coil monitoring, both versions (single- and three-coil) have a continuous DC undervoltage function to monitor the batterys power supply. The supervised coils can be either the tripping or the closing ones, futhermore, in the three-phase version coils can be coming from different breakers. Instead of measuring the continuity of the circuit (like other relays), the DBT measures real resistance. It injects a current of 5 mA, limited to a maximum of 24 V. By measuring the voltage drop in the coil the DBT calculates the resistance. Figure 3 shows a typical three-coil DBT connection to a coil. In this way the relay can measure the coil resistance at any time (in reality, the association of the breaker coil with any other auxiliary coils), either by the 52/a type contact, if the breaker is closed, or the 52/b type if it is open. The relay also measures the breaker power supply at terminals B1 and B2. The advantage of measuring real resistance is in selectivity, as failures in trip circuits can be detected apart, even in cases where auxiliary circuit coils are connected in parallel. In these situations a break or interruption of the breaker coil would not be detected by a continuity measurement because the auxiliary coils would create an alternative path to the current flow. On the other hand, a resistance measurement like that made by the DBT is a valid procedure because the resistance will rise when the breaker coil fails. An extra advantage of the DBT is in its limitation of current sources to a maximum of 24 V, which avoids the DBT operating other high impedance auxiliary circuits. This kind of circuits run the risk of being enabled by the low level of milliamperes injected by conventional monitoring relays. When maintenance work is carried out on the breaker, a disable switch available on the front of the relay should be operated in order to deactivate all the outputs. The effect produced is similar to a lack of continuous auxiliary voltage as shown in figures 2 and 3. This inhibition can also be done by energizing a digital input. The three-coil model has four inputs and the single-coil model just one.

APPLICATION
2. APPLICATION
The DBT has been designed to monitor the biggest possible number of elements in the tripping and closing circuits of the breaker. The relay checks voltages, coil resistance and the integrity of the auxiliary contacts 52/a and 52/b, since they are also part of the trip and close circuits of the breaker. For safety reasons, in order to avoid signalling BREAKER CIRCUIT OK when auxiliary voltage is low, it is strongly recommended using a NO output. When using a NO output the DBT protection will energize that relay and will CLOSE that output contacts if both voltage and coil are correct. When auxiliary voltage is low (or null) or there is a failure in the breaker coil circuit, that output will be OPENED, indicating breaker circuit failure.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
4. OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Figure 7 (Block diagram) shows the basic operation of the DBT (the most common case of a 3-phase version). Seven units of measurement can be seen: 1. Voltage measurement for undervoltage function of breaker power supply. 2. Resistance measurement of coil 1 through contact 52/b. 3. Same through contact 52/a. 4. Resistance measurement of coil 2 through contact 52/b. 5. Same through contact 52/a. 6. Resistance measurement of coil 3 through contact 52/b. 7. Same through contact 52/a. The first measurement unit serves an undervoltage comparator which will give a signal if the voltage is lower than the setting, activating an adjustable timer between 0.2 and 20 seconds. If the undervoltage continues for at least the set time, the timer output will activate the signal breaker voltage failure and also the signal general failure. The activation of failure signals deactivate the corresponding output relays. Note: deactivation of a relay is understood to mean that it changes to its standby position as shown in the external connections diagram, i.e. a NO closes and a NC opens. The timer has a preset voltage drop time of 100 ms, thereby ensuring a minimum time in which the output contacts are maintained for at least 100 ms. Two resistance measurement devices are located after the undervoltage unit, both monitoring the first coil. The resistance measurement is calculated through the voltage drop produced by the current injected by the current sources. Supposing that the breaker is closed, auxiliary contact 52/a would also be closed, whereas 52/b would be open. The measuring unit connected to 52/b would show a higher voltage than that of the resistance setting, i.e. the DBT will measure a higher resistance than the setting. On the other hand, the unit connected to 52/a will give a lower resistance reading than the setting, taking into account that the coil circuit is correct. Both resistance measuring unit outputs are the inputs of an equality comparator (this is a comparator that produces output when both inputs are high or low, i.e. equal). In the example mentioned, one measuring unit gives a HIGHER resistance than the setting whereas the other gives a LOWER resistance. Therefore, the comparator detects inputs are not equal and does not produce an output signal, which means coil circuit is in a good condition. In case the coil is broken, resistance measured by both units is infinite (i.e. equal) and the equality comparator produces a failure signal. That signal is feed into a timer. After the set time elapses with a failure signal, two signals are generated, coil failure and general failure. As described for coil 1, the 3-phase DBT has circuits for a second and third coils. In the case of a single-phase DBT, there are only resistance measuring unit for coil 1 (in addition to the undervoltage unit).
GEK-105597C
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Internal setting In the 3 coils DBT model, there is an internal setting which can be made by moving a jumper in the printed circuit, that allows to configure all the outputs as general ones (BREAKER CIRCUIT OK). Any failure (undervoltage or resistance) will mean that all outputs will be deactivated. In addition to the outputs mentioned, and as described in detail in Figures 2 & 3: External Connections, the DBT has a SYSTEM READY output relay. This closes the contact in case the relay is not available due to one of the following causes: An internal fault. An auxiliary voltage drop of the supply. The relay has been disabled. The DBT can be disabled either externally by enabling one or several of any of the 4 digital inputs for inhibition (in the case of the 3-phase) or by the single input for the single-phase, or locally by the switch labelled ENABLE. A disabled DBT will continue to measure and give information through the LEDs but all its relays will be inoperative except the SYSTEM READY relay, which will close its contact.

RELAY SETTINGS
6. RELAY SETTINGS
The settings are located on the relays nameplate in the form of dip switches. Their meanings are printed, indicating ranges in addition to the functions.
In the DBT3000 there is an internal setting. This setting enables individual or general selection of the output relays. If General mode is chosen (position G), any fault (in the coil or the control voltage) will trigger all the relays. If the jumper is put in the Independent mode (position I) each relay will operate only on its own function when the corresponding fault occurs.
LEDs are also located on the relay and serve as indicators to give information on the relay and the circuits being monitored. The next section describes the LEDs and their settings, seen from left to right. If a relay is not available, use Figure 1: Characteristics nameplate for reference.

- Flashing red: fault situation. If this situation continues for the preset time period, the output relay will be enabled and the LED will continue to flash. - Red: a fault has occurred but disappeared, although not yet acknowledged by the user. This acknowledgement is done by pressing RESET.
If a red light is present and another fault occurs the LED does not flash, but when RESET is pressed the LED starts to flash.

RECEPTION TESTS
7. RECEPTION TESTS
7.1 VISUAL INSPECTION
Check that the information on the nameplate coincides with the details of the order. A check should also be made to ensure that the relay is not scratched or has received impacts, and that there are no loose parts as a result of bad handling in transit.
7.2 INSULATION
As a result of the presence of filter capacitors (used to protect the relay from external interference) a reading of approximately 3 mA (at 2000 V AC/50Hz) will be had on each capacitor. This may create problems for the insulation test equipment if it is unable to supply all the current. To avoid this problem, remove the connection from terminal B11 to B 12, thus separating the capacitor ground circuit (B 11) from the relay housing (B 12). Important: for safety reasons, the relay housing should always be earthed by an earthing cable connected to terminal B 12. Do not forget to make the shortest possible connection to terminals B 11 and B12, so that the capacitors can perform their filtering operation correctly. Important: to avoid serious damage to the relay, make sure that all the terminals from the same group are connected to each other while test voltage is being applied to that group. The groups are as follows: Breaker circuits: G1: G1: B1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 B1, 2, 3, & 4 3-phase model single-phase model
Digital inputs: G3: G3: C1, D1, C2, D2, C3, D3, C4, D4 3-phase model C1, D1 single-phase model
Relay contacts: G4: G4: C6, D6, C7, D7, C8, D8, C9, D9 3-phase model C10, D10, C11, D11, C12, D12 C9, D9, C10, D10, C11, D11 single-phase model C12, D12
These tests will only be done on new relays. A new relay is defined to be one which has not entered in service, has been delivered in the previous year and has been suitably stored to avoid deterioration. Note: apply the insulation voltage (2000 V AC) gradually, and reduce it gradually to zero to avoid stored charges.

Insert a dual-circuit switch. One of the circuits which is normally closed will short-circuit terminals B2 and B3, simulating that the coil is correct. The other contact (normally opened) will be connected to the start-up of a timer. The timer stop will be connected to one of the breaker circuit failure relays. When the pushbutton is pressed the B2-B3 will be opened, leading to a start of failure. Create a fault as described (above) and check that the results in the table are complied with.
