What do you need to know about synchro check relay?
The difference in voltage between the two sides of the breaker is known as phasing voltage. For two systems to be synchronized, following conditions must be matched: Voltage, Phase Rotation, Phase Shift, Frequency. In addition, the system either has to be either both three phase or both single phase.
How is the sync phase chosen in a digital relay?
A separate single-phase input from the other side of the breaker is used to provide the ‘sync’ voltage input (incoming source) to the relay. Incoming source sync phase can be any of the three phases-A, B or C. Usually A phase is chosen and sync phase is a selectable parameter in modern digital relays.
When is relay not in sync with running voltage?
Cases where (Incoming voltage) Vs cannot be in sync with running voltage Vp are: Relay running voltage is connected to wye PT while the incoming sync input is connected phase-phase Relay is connected to delta PT while the sync input is phase-neutral. Sync input is beyond a delta-wye transformer.
How can I find out if my relay is working?
Determine the coil requirements of the relay. The manufacturer’s part number should be listed on the case of the relay. Look up the applicable data sheet and determine the voltage and current requirements of the control coil. This also may be printed on the case of larger relays. Find out if the control coil is diode protected.
Where is the relay located in a car?
The relay is typically located in a place where larger electric parts are placed. In a car, this is likely a relay or fuse box. Use your fingers to unplug the relay from the socket in which it is placed. Note the relay position. The positioning and polarity of relays and fuses should be printed on the inside of the relay box or fuse box cover.
Where do I find the polarity of a relay?
The positioning and polarity of relays and fuses should be printed on the inside of the relay box or fuse box cover. Note the position of the relay that was removed so that it may be replaced in the proper position and orientation. Find the relay characteristics.
Where can I find the contact configuration of a relay?
Assess the contact configuration of the relay. This will also be available from the manufacturer’s data sheet, or may be printed on the case of larger relays. Relays may have one or more poles, indicated in drawings by a single line switch connected to a pin of the relay. Each pole may have a normally open (NO) and or normally closed (NC) contact.
