2C73 High Impedance Differential Relay

The 2C73 relay provides high speed differential protection for various items of power system plant including generators, busbars, motors & the individual windings of power transformers. The 2C73 is also suitable for restricted earth fault applications. The relay measuring element is basically an attracted armature unit of simple & rugged construction. The operating coil of this unit is connected in series with an inductor & capacitor forming a resonant circuit. These components are energised from a transformer which is tapped to provide current setting using the front panel mounted plug bridge. Removal of the setting plug bridge will result in the maximum current tap setting. The relay circuit is tuned to the supply frequency & rejects harmonics produced by current transformer saturation. A slight time delay on operation is provided to ensure stability on heavy external faults.
