Trip circuit supervision relay type TCS
Description
Features
The supervision relay TCS is designed for the
Continuous supervision of complete trip supervision of trip circuits and other important
circuit independent of the circuit breaker control and monitoring circuits. Block diagram of the
position relay is shown in Fig. 1. The supervision function is

Very low burden on the auxiliary source not glow and the output relay drops off. Relays with
differing rated voltage for supervision circuit and
auxiliary supply can be supplied as a special execution.
Application
In a protection system the trip circuit of
the circuit breaker is crucial. If an
interruption occurs in the trip circuit a
possible network fault will not be
disconnected and would have to be
cleared by another protection
upstream in the power system. The
supervision function is particularly
important when there is only one
tripping coil and CB tripping is vital.
For instance, for generator circuit
breakers or any other important
circuit breaker in distribution
networks. The supervision relay type
TCS is intended for a continuous
supervision of circuit breaker trip
circuit and to give an alarm for loss of
auxiliary supply, faults on the trip-coil
or its wires independent of the
breaker position, faults on the breaker
auxiliary contacts and faults in the
supervision relay itself.
