PHEP CH. 27 Flashcards
A FUSE MAY SERVE THE SAME PURPOSE IN ISOLATING A FAULT AS A
CIRCUIT BREAKER
FROM THE BELOW LIST OF FUSE CHARACTERISTICS SELECT THE ONE THAT IS NOT TRUE
ALL FUSES ARE COMPLETELY NON REPETITIVE IN DESIGN
THE PRIMARY REASON FOR NOT REPLACING A BLOWN FUSE WITH A PIECE OF COPPER WIRE IS BECAUSE
THE DESIRED CIRCUIT PROTECTION AGAINST OVERLOAD MAY BE LOST
THE TERM ZONES OF PROTECTION APPLIES MOST NEARLY TO THE ISOLATION OF FAULTED EQUIPMENT:
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE POWER SYSTEM
A DEVICE BY WHICH CONTACTS IN ONE CIRCUIT ARE OPERATED BY A CHANGE IN CONDITIONS IN THE SAME OR ANOTHER CIRCUIT IS CALLED A
RELAY
PROTECTIVE RELAYS IN GENERAL MUST BE ABLE TO
-REMOVE OR ISOLATETHE LOCAL AREA OF A FAULT FORM THE REST OF THE SYSTEM
-LOCATE FAULTS AND TRIP ONLY THOSE CIRCUIT BREAKERS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT
-DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN PERMISSIBLE OPERATING CONDITIONS AND ABNORMAL OR FAULT CONDITIONS
PROTECTIVE RELAYS MAY BE CLASSIFIED IN ALL OF THE BELOW WAYS EXCEPT FOR
ACCORDING TO THE MANNER IN WHICH THEY ARE CONNECTED IN THE CIRCUIT
AN INDUCTION-DISK TIME OVERCURRENT RELAY
IS ADJUSTED SEPARATELY FOR THE DEGREE OF OVERCURRENT AT WHICH IT OPERATES AND ALSO FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIME DELAY
DIFFERENTIAL CURRENT RELAYS ARE DESIGNED AND INSTALLED TO PROTECT AGAINST
INTERNAL FAULTS
WHEN CT’S ARE USED WITH PROTECTIVE RELAYS THE DIRECTION OF CURRENT FLOW IN THE TRANSFORMER WINDINGS (POLARITY MARKS)
MUST BE CAREFULLY OBSERVED FOR RELAY TYPES WHICH DEPEND ON THE INTERACTION OF TWO CURRENTS FOR THEIR ACTION
ALL OF THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS CONCERNING THE SCHEMATIC SHOWN IN FIG. 28 ARE TRUE EXCEPT FOR
THE POSITION OF THE PALLET SWITCHES INDICATES THAT THE OCB IS IN A CLOSED POSITION
A RELAY WHICH WOULD NORMALLY RESPOND TO CHANGES IN CIRCUIT ADMITTANCE, IMPEDANCE, AND REACTANCE IS CALLED A
DISTANCE RELAY
POLYPHASE ROTATING EQUIPMENT MAY BE PROTECTED AGAINST SINGLE PHASE OPERATION BY USING A
PHASE-BALANCE RELAY
THE PROTECTIVE DEVICE FOR A MOTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT SHOULD
NOT BE OF THE INSTANTANEOUS TYPE
THE INDUCTION-DISC TIME OVERCURRENT RELAY HAS WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS
DEFINITE TIME
INVERSE TIME
