TYPE KC-2 HIGH SPEED
OVERCURRENT RELAY
CAUTI ON:
Before putting relays into service,
remove all blocking which may have been inserted
for the purpose of securing the parts during ship
ment, make sure that all moving parts operate
freely, inspect the contacts to see that they are
clean and close properly, and operate the relay to
check the settings and electrical connections.

APPLICATION
The type KC-2 relay is a two unit high speed
overcurrent level detector. As an example, it may
be used as a fault detector for KD- 1 0 distance
relays. It may be operated continuously picked
up, if the application requires, without experi
encing excessive wear.
CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATI O N
The type KC-2 relay consists o f two high speed
overcurrent cylinder units and an indicating con
tactor switch.
OVERC U RRENT U N IT (I)
The overcurrent unit is a product induction
cylinder type unit. The time phase relationship of
the two air gap fluxes necessary for the develop
ment of torque is achieved by means of a capacitor
connected in series with one pair of pole windings.
Mechanically, the overcurrent unit is com
posed of four basic components: a die-cast
aluminum frame, an electromagnet, a moving ele-

ment assembly, and a molded bridge.
The frame serves as the mounting structure for
the magnetic core. The magnetic core which
houses the lower pin bearing is secured to the
frame by a locking nut. The bearing can be replac
ed, if necessary, without having to remove the
magnetic core from the frame.
The electromagnet has two pairs of coils. The
coils of each pair are mounted diametrically op
posite one another. In addition, there are two
locating pins. The locating pins are used to ac
curately position the lower pin bearing, which is
mounted on the frame, with respect to the upper
pin bearing, which is threaded into the bridge. The
electromagnet is secured to the frame by four
mounting screws.
The moving element assembly consists of a
spiral spring, contact carrying member, and an
aluminum cylinder assembled to a molded hub
which holds the shaft. The shaft has removable
top and bottom jewel bearings. The shaft rides
between the bottom pin bearing and the upper pin
bearing with the cylinder rotating in an air gap
formed by the electromagnet and the magnetic
core.
The bridge is secured to the electromagnet and
frame by two mounting screws. In addition to
holding the upper pin bearing, the bridge is used
for mounting the adjustable stationary contact
housing. The stationary contact housing is held in
position by a spring type clamp. The spring ad
juster is located on the underside of the bridge and
is attached to the moving contact arm by a spiral
spring. The spring adjuster is also held in place by
a spring type clamp.
With the normally open contacts closed, the
electrical connection is made through the
stationary contact housing clamp, to the moving
contact, through the spiral spring out to the spring
adjuster clamp.
