Time Delay
Delay Characteristics
Characteristics
ITI GFM sensors are assigned a current range to indicate a pick-up current level.
The GFM relay has a range select from “A” to “D”. “A” is the lowest current
magnitude pick-up and “D” is the highest . The pick up level is dependent on the
energy in a ground fault wave shape; therefore tripping initiation depends on the
In general, the relay will pick up before 150% of the low end of the sensor
current range on the “A” setting with a sinusoidal signal, and will pick up before
150% of the high end of the sensor range on the “D” setting. The relay is
coordinated.
The ITI GFM ground fault system has inverse time current trip characteristics.
As the fault current increases, the trip time delay gets shorter. The GFM-252,
GFM-353, GFM-453 relays do not have adjustable trip time delay, while the
Trip time on Models with f ixed time delay, may exceed a one second delay at
the pick up threshold. Trip time on Models with adjustable time delay, may
exceed a one second delay at the pick up threshold, however the inverse time
curve can be modif ied to vary trip time at multiples of over current with an
ordinal “1” to “4” is scale where “1” is faster and “4” is slower.
The pick up time delay on the f ixed time delay relays can be as fast as 0.02
seconds on the “A” setting, and 0.1 seconds on the “D” setting at high fault
currents.
For the adjustable time delay relays, a time delay of “1” in the “A” scale can
produce a time delay of under 0.15 seconds at a 600% sinusoidal fault . A time
delay setting of “4” will result in a time delay approximately 0.2 seconds slower
than the “1” setting. Time delay will be greater for smaller fault current .
Similarly, a time delay setting of “1” in the “D” scale can produce a time delay
of under 0.4 seconds at a 600% sinusoidal fault . A time delay setting of “4” will
result in a time delay approximately 0.2 seconds slower than the “1” setting.

FIXED DELAY TYPES
An appropriate value of R1 should be selected to apply a minimum of 1.5 times maximum trip rating of the sensor.

Test Procedure
To determine if the neutral is grounded in only one place at the service entrance ( in accordance with The National
Electrical Code):
1. Disconnect power.
3. With a “megger”, measure the resistance of each phase and neutral to ground. The resistance should be 1 megohm in
accordance with NEC requirements. Reading as low as 100 ohms will pass a minimal current so as not to affect BGFL
calibration on the 100 - 1200A relay. The 5-60A and 30-360A relay calibration will be affected if set at the lowest
setting.
4. Reconnect bond link, reconnect power and check power LED for illumination.
2. Press the “Push To Test ” switch on the relay. The trip indicator will go to the tripped position and disconnect device will
open.
3. Reset the relay and the disconnect device. System is now back to normal.
To test the ground Fault Relay and Sensor only (The sensor will trip the relay in this tes t ).
2. Press and HOLD the “Shunt Trip Bypass” switch on the relay.
3. Press the “Push To Test” switch. The Ground Fault Relay will trip.
4. Reset the relay, then release the “Shunt Trip Bypass” switch. System is now back to normal.

Applications Notes
If the power conditions are normal, 3 seconds after power is supplied to the APVR the contacts will transfer, permitting operation. In normal applications, this
power will already be applied to the APVR and there is no time delay in operating.
The correct phase sequence must be established upon initial installation for proper operation of the relay. Any subsequent change in phase will cause the
relay to trip. If the relay is re-energized and the phase sequence is incorrect the relay will not operate.
The device is shipped from the factory in the automatic reset mode with a jumper on terminals 6 & 7. Operation can be changed from automatic reset to
manual reset by removing the external jumper. Automatic reset means that upon fault removal the device reset automatically to perform is mounting
function. For manual reset simply remove the jumper and connect a normally open pushbutton across terminals 6 and 7.
Upon application of power the green LED indicator will illuminate. If a fault exists the green LED will remain illuminated for these three seconds and then go
out . This is normal and indicates that line power is present but a fault condition has been detected. The output contacts will remain in their de-energized
failsafe state.
If no fault exists upon application of power the green LED indicator illuminates and three seconds later the relay contacts transfer. Upon detection of a fault ,
the green indicator light will go out and three seconds later the relay contacts revert to their de-energized state. This three second delay prevents nuisance
In service the line voltage to the device may be interrupted on various occasions. In the automatic reset mode the device will resume its monitoring function
approximately three seconds after power is restored. In the manual reset mode the reset pushbutton must be pressed.
1) The relay is energized and the output contacts are transferred under “ normal ” conditions only.
2) Should the output relay itself fail or in the event of internal circuit failure, the relay will revert to the de-energized position.

systems. The LLV series is designed to meter line to line voltages and the PNV series is designed to meter phase to neutral voltages. The transducers provide
three discrete 4 to 20mA outputs that are proportional to the three phase input voltages. The input voltages scale does not meter down to zero Volts, instead it
is limited to the normal useful range of input voltages for a particular system. For example: The model PNV-120 has an input signal range from 90 to 150 V ac

A Current Transformer secondary should never be open circuited white the Current Transformer primary circuit is energized. If this situation should occur
there is a possibility of developing extremely high voltages which could be dangerous to personnel or cause an insulation breakdown.
The OCP series of Open Protectors are voltage sensing devices using high shorting SCR switches. When the secondary peak voltages exceeds the clamping
voltage value, the SCR operates, shorting the C.T. secondary and reducing the voltage to about 2 volts in less than 1/4 cycle. This process repeats each current
The three element Open Circuit Protector is Protector is provided with six terminals for connection across the secondary of the C.T’s and parallel with burden.
It can also be connected across the current terminals of a protective relay, meter, or other current operated device without affecting the operation of the
The OCP also provides protection against high secondary voltage transients, which may damage the burden or secondary winding. If the transient voltage
exceeds the voltage clamping limit , the Open Circuit Protector will trigger. After triggering, the voltage will fall to about 2 volts and remain there until the next
zero crossing of the current , waveform at which time the device resets and the cycle repeats as necessary. In the transient mode of protection, triggering will
occur only on the half cycle where the transient appears. The leakage current of the OCP is insignif icant and will not cause a ratio or phase angle error in the
Metering class C.T.’s with a rating factor of 2 could operate up to 10 amps on a continuos basis. Relaying class C.T.’s are designed to withstand short time
overloads up to 20 times normal (100 amps RMS) for 2 seconds. The OCP is designed to tolerate both of these conditions if the burden accidentally opens.

• The Capacitor Trip Device (CTDA-6) is used to trip circuit breakers and lock out relay when a battery standby source is not available to provide circuit breaker
trip power. The CTDA-6 converts ac buss voltage to dc voltage and stores enough energy to operate a lock out relay or trip a circuit breaker. Voltage is
available from the ac power supply for tripping immediately upon ac power up. The capacitors charge time is approximately 8 seconds, but full wave bridge
rectif ier power from the ac line is available immediately for use. Capacitor charge current is limited to protect the control power system from a large current in
rush. This feature allows the use of many CTDA-6 units from the same control power voltage source without coordination problems. Additionally, the CTDA-6 is
self-protected from short circuit damage on the output . Nominal ac voltage is applied across terminals #8 and # 10. This voltage is full wave bridge rectif ied
and applied across the trip capacitors producing a steady state output trip voltage. The charge stored in theses capacitors is available across terminals #12
(positive) and # 14 (negative).Charging time: 8 seconds, 0 to 90% of nominal output voltage, 60 hertz. Operating temperature: -30 deg C to +60 deg C *
Notice: Ac power must be applied continually for minimum of 2 hours before the CTDA-6 is capable of developing full charge on the output capacitors
with sustained interruption in ac input . The CTDA-6 capacitor trip device is not intended for ac dc power supply. The self-protecting feature of the unit

• The Automatic Charging Trip Device (CTDB-6) is used to trip circuit breakers and lock out relay when a battery or standby source is not available to
provide circuit breaker trip power. The CTDB-6 converts ac bus voltage to dc voltage and stores enough energy to operate a lock out relay or trip a circuit
breaker, often more than once. The CTDB-6, when fully charged, will maintain a charge for a minimum of 3 days after the ac power has been interrupted. In
normal operation, the batteries are trickle charged from the ac voltage source. Voltage is available from the ac power supply for tripping immediately upon
ac voltage power up. Capacitors do not need to be charged to have tripping voltage available on the output of the device, this is because the output is
automatically fed from the full wave bridge rectif ied ac signal or the charged capacitors, which ever is greater. Capacitor charge current is limited to
protect the control power system from a large current in-rush. this feature allows the use of many CTDB-6 units from the same control power voltage
source without coordination problems. Additionally, the CTDB-6 is self-protected from short circuit damage on the output . Batteries: 4 - rechargeable 1.2
Notice: Ac power must be applied continually for minimum of 2 hours before the CTDB-6 is capable of developing full charge on the capacitors with a
sustained interruption in ac input . It is highly recommended that batteries be fully charged before installing into the CTDB-6. The CTDB-6 is designed to
trickle charge the batteries to hold a charge indef initely, but the CTDB-6 trickle charge circuit can take as long as 48 hours to charge batteries that are
