NOTE:
D8, D9, and D10 refer to terminals shown on the 8 Series Terminal Identification diagrams.
Phase Sequence and Transformer Polarity
For correct operation of the relay features, follow the instrument transformer polarities,
shown in the
Typical Wiring Diagram above. Note the solid square markings that are
shown with all instrument transformer connections. When the connections adhere to the
drawing, the arrow shows the direction of power flow for positive watts and the positive
direction of vars. The phase sequence is user-programmable for either ABC or ACB
rotation.
Depending on order code, the 850 relay can have up to four (4) current inputs in each J slot
and K slot. Three of them are used for connecting to the phase CT phases A, B, and C. The
fourth input is a ground input that can be connected to either a ground CT placed on the
neutral from a Wye connected transformer winding, or to a “donut” type CT measuring the
zero sequence current from a grounded system. The relay CTs are placed in a packet
mounted to the chassis of the 850 relay. There are no internal ground connections on the
current inputs. Current transformers with 1 to 12000 A primaries may be used.
CAUTION:
Verify that the relay’s nominal input current of 1 A or 5 A matches the secondary rating
of the connected CTs. Unmatched CTs may result in equipment damage or inadequate
protection.
CAUTION:
IMPORTANT: The phase and ground current inputs correctly measure up to 46 times the
current input’s nominal rating. Time overcurrent curves become horizontal lines for
currents above 20 × PKP.
