    This document provides commissioning instructions for trip circuit supervision relays types VAX21/31/MVAXM21/31. It describes the general purpose and functioning of the relays, which is to continuously monitor the trip circuit of circuit breakers and initiate an alarm if the circuit fails or the breaker does not trip. The relays have either post-closing supervision only (types 21) or both pre-closing and post-closing supervision (types 31). Commissioning steps include inspection, wiring checks, testing relay operation voltages, and verifying alarm circuits. Diagrams are provided to illustrate the different relay circuit configurations.

    1. INTRODUCTION This manual covers the commissioning and maintenance instructions for Trip Circuit Supervision Relay Types VAX&MVAXM Type VAX/MVAXM relays are used for continuous supervision of the trip circuit of circuit breakers. 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Type VAX and MVAXM relays are of simple and robust construction. They are arranged to initiate an audible alarm and visual indication if the trip circuit of a circuit breaker fails or the breaker tripping mechanism does not operate . Two versions of type VAX and MVAXM relays are available. Type VAX 21 and MVAXM 21 relays monitor the trip circuit only when the circuit breaker is closed (post-closing supervision only) while type VAX 31 and MVAXM 31 relays monitor the trip circuit continuously (both preclosing and post-closing supervision). Both versions detect the following conditions. 1)Failure of trip supply 2)Open circuit of trip coil or trip circuit wiring 3)Failure of mechanism to complete the tripping operation Type VAX 21 and MVAXM 21relays consist of two units connected as shown in figures 1(a) and 1(b). Under healthy conditions with the circuit breaker closed, both units are energised. If the trip circuit gets open or the trip supply fails, unit A drops-off and opens contact A-1 to de-energise unit C. When the circuit breaker is open the auxiliary switch of the circuit breaker shorts contact A-1 to hold-in unit C. Type VAX 31 and MVAXM 31 relays consist of three units connected as shown in figures 2(a) and 2(b).Under healthy conditions with the circuit breaker closed, units A and C are energised and the operation is the same as that of type VAX 21 and MVAXM 21 relays. When the circuit breaker is open unit B is also energised via the normally closed auxiliary switch of the circuit breaker and unit C is held-in by contact B-1.Unit B will detect trip circuit abnormalities with the circuit breaker open in a similar manner as unit A with the circuit breaker closed. The C unit in both the versions are delayed on drop-off by means of RC circuit for a total time of 350 to 800 milli seconds, to prevent a false alarm due to voltage dips caused by faults in other circuits or during a normal tripping operation, when unit A is momentarily short circuited by the self reset tripping relay contact, If the trip relay fails to reset possibly due to failure of the circuit breaker tripping mechanism, the alarm is initiated. The alarm unit is designed to operate via pilot wires, if required. 3. SPECIFICATION TECHNICAL DATA

    Coil ratings For VAX relay: 24,30,48,50,110/125 or 220/250 volts dc operating band 80%-120% of rated voltages. Maximum loop resistance 50 ohms for nominal alarm supply 24 to 50V. Other alarm supplies - 400 ohms. When rated for a 110V alarm supply the unit C will not operate at a current less than 25 milliamperes. It is therefore suitable for use with anticorrosion negative potential biasing device. For MVAXM relay: 110/125 and 220/250 volts dc as standard and other coil ratings are available on request. Maximum loop resistance is 400 ohms for nominal alarm supply.

    Operating Time
    0.35 to 0.8 sec. At 80% of rated volts ( between failure of the trip circuit and operation of alarm contact).

    Thermal rating
    120% of rated voltage continuous. 4.0 COMMISSIONING 4.1 General Inspection: Wipe away any dust that has collected on the outside of the relay before opening the cover. Make a general inspection of the relay to ensure that any moving parts if fitted are free to move and that there are no signs of damage anywhere. Check that there are no loose connections or terminals and that the equipment is clean and free from dust. 4.2 Wiring Check : Make a through check of the internal and external wiring of the relay. The internal wiring can be checked by reference to the relay-wiring diagram, The external wiring should be checked with the help of schematic diagrams (Showing reference number of interconnecting wires, relay terminal nos. etc.) supplied by the relay panel manufacturers. 4.3 Relay Testing : Apply the Dc voltage for coil A/B and increase the DC voltage till Unit A/B operates and record the value (Operating value =30% - 80% of rated auxiliary voltage) .Apply the DC voltage for coil C with Unit A/B operated condition and increase the DC voltage till Unit C operates and record the value (operating value 60% - 90% of rated auxiliary voltage). If variable DC voltage source is not available at site then confirm the scheme operation only. 4.4 Alarm Circuit Checks: It is essential that on completion of the above tests, alarm circuits are to be checked with the scheme.
