Product catalog summary
Introduction
The DCL represents a new generation of high-speed electromechanical tripping relays designed for power utility protection and control applications. These relays ensure fast operation of less than 8 ms with minimal contact bounce.

Application
The DCL relays are crucial for quickly detecting and isolating faults in power systems. They offer a compact, flexible, and high-performance solution, reducing costs and space requirements in protection panel designs. The relays feature a wide voltage operating range and user-selectable low or high burden tripping relay operation.

Contact Reset Options
1. Self Reset Contacts: Operate when voltage is applied and reset when removed.
2. Latching Contacts - Hand Reset: Operate and latch with voltage, reset via a button.
3. Electrical and Hand Reset: Operate and latch with voltage, reset via button or voltage.
4. Electrical Reset: Operate and latch with voltage, reset via voltage.

Output Contacts
The relay can be configured with various contact arrangements, such as 8 N/O make contacts plus 4 N/C break contacts.

Construction
The DCL range is housed in a durable zinc-coated steel case, offering long-term durability and corrosion protection. The relays are designed for high performance and reliability, utilizing modern manufacturing techniques.

Burden Settings
1. Low Burden Setting: Suitable for applications with limited DC battery supply capacity.
2. High Burden Setting: Suitable for high-security circuit breaker tripping circuits, providing maximum immunity to electrical disturbance.

Specifications
  • Mechanical Data: Mounting options include flush or rack, with screw terminals M4.
  • Transient Overvoltage: Meets IEC60255-5 CLASS III standards.
  • Climate Tests: Operating temperature range is -10 to +55 °C, storage range is -25 to +75 °C.
  • Mechanical Tests: Vibration, shock, and seismic tests meet IEC standards.
  • Input Circuits: Rated operating voltage ranges from 32 Vdc to 250 Vdc.
  • Output Circuits: Contact ratings include 1,250 VA AC resistive and 1,250 W DC resistive.

T R I P & L O C K - O U T R E L AY Introduction Output contacts The DCL represents a new generation of high speed electro-mechanical tripping relays for power utility protection and control applications. Application of the DCL multi-contact high-speed trip relays ensures fast operation of less than 8 ms with minimal contact bounce. 8 N/O make (M) contacts plus 4 N/C break (B) contacts Alternative contact arrangements from 2M+10B to 10M+2B can be specied according the coding table. Protective functions 86 Lock-out Application Construction The effect of a fault on a power system is dependent on the speed with which the fault can be detected and isolated. Modern protection schemes incorporate ever increasing functionality through the application of digital techniques to protection relay technology. The requirement for highly reliable tripping and control relay elements does however remain and often constitutes a signicant cost and space requirement when considering protection panel designs. The DCL system fulls this need by providing a compact, exible and high performance solution, while at the same time reducing the cost and lead times normally associated with this class of device. A wide voltage operating range and user selectable low or high burden tripping relay operation reduces the number of model variations. The DCL relay contacts can be specied to reset in a number of ways: Self reset contacts All contacts operate when a voltage in the specied range is applied to the relay coil and reset when this voltage is removed. Latching contacts - Hand reset • Hand Reset All contacts operate and mechanically latch when a voltage in the specied range is applied to the relay coil and reset when the reset button located on the front of the relay is pressed. • Electrical and Hand Reset All contacts operate and mechanically latch when a voltage in the specied range is applied to the relay coil and reset when the reset button located on the front of the relay is pressed. A voltage applied to the reset coil may also be used to reset the contacts. • Electrical Reset All contacts operate and mechanically latch when a voltage in the specied range is applied to the relay coil and reset when a voltage applied to the reset coil. The DCL range is packaged in a draw out case system and can be either ush panel or rack mounted; it represents a new generation of electro-mechanical relays designed specically for application where high performance and reliability is paramount. While the fundamental and proven electro-mechanical mechanism has been maintained, the implementation of modern manufacturing techniques combined with an innovative architecture has provided a very exible and competitive alternative to older generation auxiliary relays. The outer case is manufactured from zinc coated mild steel providing considerable strength and long term durability. The entire case surface is powder coated to provide corrosion protection and an attractive textured nish. Relay elements are mounted on fabricated berglass and acetal components to provide reliable electrical isolation and simple cost effective construction. DCL - Flyer - 08 - 2011

Low burden setting Front panel layout The low burden conguration is suitable for applications where immunity to capacitance discharge and high minimum operation currents are not required. Suitable for MV applications where the DC battery supply capacity is limited. High speed trip High burden setting In this conguration the relay is suitable for application in high security circuit breaker tripping circuits and in particular where the initiating contact may be remote from the relay. The high burden can also be used to facilitate the satisfactory operation of external series elements provided...
