DESCRIPTION  
These are single-phase, sensitive overvoltage relays of the induction disk construction. They are  
equipped with a time dial so as to provide adjustable time delay in their operation. The relays are  
principally applicable for sensitive overvoltage ground detection for high-impedance grounded  
generators or for ungrounded power systems. The differences among the four relays are as indicated  
in Table A below. Each relay is mounted in a standard size S1 drawout case and the outline and  
panel drillings are shown in Figs. 14 and 15; Fig. 13 shows the outline for an external capacitor when  
used. The internal connections of the relays are indicated in the table. Each relay contains a target  
seal-in unit that is used to protect the relay main contacts and control spring from damage due to  
breaker-trip current.

APPLICATION  
These are single-phase, sensitive, time-delay overvoltage relays. They are principally applicable for  
sensitive overvoltage ground detection for high-impedance grounded generators or for ungrounded  
power systems. These relays all have a capacitor in series with the operating coil. For the IAV51K  
and IAV52K relays, this capacitor is external to the relay because of its large size. The effect of the  
capacitor is to tune the relay coil circuit so that the relay pickup on third harmonic (180Hz) voltage is  
approximately eight times the relay pickup at 60 Hz. This is particularly important in overvoltage  
ground detection for generators, since they produce a large third- harmonic component of voltage  
during normal operation.  
The external connection diagram for the IAV51K or the IAV52K relay for sensitive generator ground  
detection is shown in Fig. 8. This is a typical protection scheme for a unit generator transformer  
using a distribution transformer connected in the neutral with a resistor across the transformer  
secondary. The IAV51K/52K relays are usually used for this application because they provide the  
very sensitive 5.4 volt pickup rating. This enables the relay to detect a ground fault within a few  
percent of the winding from the neutral. Since the power transformer and the station service  
transformer in a unit generator transformer scheme are both connected in delta on the generator side,  
coordination with other protection is virtually unnecessary and the ground relay used can be very  
sensitive. Some time delay in relay operation is usually used to coordinate with fuses protecting  
against faults on the secondary side of potential transformers that are normally connected to the  
generator terminals. The usual practice is to use these relays to trip the generator breaker and shut  
down the machine. If the relay is used only to sound an alarm when a ground fault is detected, the  
application should be reviewed. It may be necessary to add another relay to provide ground  
protection with good sensitivity simultaneously with a high continuous-voltage rating.  
The resistor, shown in Fig. 8 connected across the broken delta secondary of the PT's, or alternatively  
connected in series in the primary neutral connection, is usually required to prevent the occurrence of  
ferro-resonance. This phenomenon could occur due to the interaction of the PT inductance with the  
distributed capacitance-to-ground of the primary power system.  
The external connection diagram for the IAV51D, 52D, or the IAV52C relay for ground-fault  
detection on an ungrounded power system is shown in Fig. 9. The relay operates to detect the first  
ground fault that occurs on the system, connections so that it can be removed before a second  
ground occurs, causing a double phase-to-ground fault, which requires a service interruption. Since  
the relay may be applied merely to sound an alarm in this application, it is necessary that it be  
continuously rated for the full broken-delta voltage expected for a single phase-to-ground fault  
located right at the potential transformers, or some automatic means must be employed to disconnect  
the relay from the voltage supply.  
When this fault occurs it is equivalent to shorting out one phase of the potential transformer primary.  
The other two unfaulted phases of the PT primaries now have full phase-to-phase voltage applied  
and their corresponding dJelta secondaries will be supplying 3 times their normal rated voltage.  
The broken delta equivalent voltage will be these two voltages added in series at a 60o angle and the

broken delta voltage will therefore be three times the normal delta phase-to-phase voltage with no  
fault.

The current-closing rating of the contacts is 30 amperes for voltage not exceeding 250 volts. The  
current-carrying ratings are affected by the selection of the tap on the seal-in coil, as indicated in

The 2-ampere tap has a DC resistance of 0.13 ohms and a 60 cycle impedance of 0.53 ohms, while  
the 0.2-ampere tap has a 7-ohm DC resistance and a 52-ohm 60 cycle impedance. The tap setting  
used on the seal-in element is determined by the current drawn by the trip coil.  
The 0.2-ampere tap is for use with trip coils that operate on currents ranging from 0.2 up to 2.0  
amperes at the minimum control voltage. If this tap is used with trip coils requiring more than two  
amperes, there is a possibility that the 7-ohm resistance will reduce the current to so low a value that  
the breaker will not be tripped.  
The 2-ampere tap should be used with trip coils that take 2 amperes or more at minimum control  
voltage, provided the tripping current does not exceed 30 amperes at the maximum control voltage.  
If the tripping current exceeds 30 amperes an auxiliary relay should be used, the connections being

OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS  
The Type IAV51D relay is a low-pickup voltage relay normally used for ground fault protection on  
AC rotating machines. It has single-circuit closing contacts that close when the voltage increases to  
pickup value, as set on the tap block. The time delay in closing the contacts is determined by the  
setting of the time dial at the top of the shaft. The IAV51D has a capacitor and tapped resistor  
connected in series with the operating coil. The capacitor is added to tune the circuit, giving a low  
pickup voltage at rated frequency. At rated voltage the operating U magnet is highly saturated,  
increasing the impedance of the circuit, thus limiting the current to a safe value. The taps on the  
resistor are connected to the tap block to provide a four-to-one range of pickup. As shown in the  
typical external connection diagram, Fig. 8, this relay is connected to the machine neutral potential  
transformer through a closed contact on the auxiliary tripping relay, hence is energized only when a  
ground occurs. To obtain still-lower pickup than the normal calibration, it is permissible to insert an  
inverted potential transformer between the machine neutral transformer and the relay coil circuit.  
The IAV51D has a seal-in element. Time curves are shown in Fig. 11.  
The IAV51K relay is similar to the IAV51D except that it has an external capacitor. Time curves are  
shown in Fig. 11.

The IAV52K relay is similar to the IAV51K except that it has two, instead of one, normally-open  
contacts.  
The IAV52C is a low-pickup, time-overvoltage relay with two normally-open contacts. It has a seal-  
in element. It has a capacitor connected in series with the operating coil but, unlike the IAV51D  
relay, it does not have a tapped resistor connected in series with the operating coil. The time-voltage  
characteristics at the #1, #5, and #10 time-dial settings are the same as for the "A" taps of the  
IAV51/52D and K relays shown in Fig. 11.  
CONSTRUCTION  
These relays are the induction disk construction. The disk is actuated by a potential operating coil on  
a laminated U-magnet. The disk shaft carries the moving contact, which completes the trip or alarm  
circuit when it touches the stationary contact or contacts. The disk shaft is restrained by a spiral  
spring to give the proper contact-closing voltage, and its motion is retarded by permanent magnets  
acting on the disk to give the correct time delay.  
There is a seal-in unit mounted to the left of the shaft. This unit has its coil in series and its contacts  
in parallel with the main contacts, such that when the main contacts close, the seal-in unit picks up  
and seals in. When the seal-in unit picks up, it raises a target into view that latches up and remains  
exposed until released by pressing a button beneath the lower-left corner of the cover.  
The case is suitable for either surface or semi-flush panel mounting and an assortment of hardware is  
provided for either mounting. The cover attaches to the case and also carries the reset mechanism  
when one is required. Two of the cover screws have provision for a sealing wire.  
The case has studs or screw connections at the bottom for the external connections. The electrical  
connections between the relay units and the case studs are made through spring-backed contact  
fingers mounted in stationary, molded inner and outer blocks, between which nests a removable  
connecting plug that completes the circuits. The outer blocks, attached to the case, have the studs for  
the external connections, and the inner blocks have the terminals for the internal connections.  
The relay mechanism is mounted in a steel framework called the cradle and is a complete unit, with  
all leads being terminated at the inner block. This cradle is held firmly in the case by a latch at the  
top and the bottom and by a guide pin at the back of the case. The case and cradles are so contructed  
that the relay cannot be inserted in the case upside down. The connecting plug, besides making the  
electrical connections between the respective blocks of the cradle and case, also locks the latch in  
place. The cover, which is fastened to the case by thumbscrews, holds the connecting plug in place.  
To draw out the cradle from a single-ended case, the cover must first be removed. Then the  
connecting plug can be drawn out. In so doing, the trip circuit is the first one opened, then the  
voltage circuits are opened. After the connecting plug has been removed, the lower latch can be  
released and the cradle easily drawn out. To replace the cradle, the reverse order should be followed.  
The internal connections of the relays are shown in Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

RECEIVING, HANDLING, AND STORAGE  
RECEIVING  
These relays, when not shipped as a part of a control panel, will be shipped in cartons designed to  
protect them against damage. Immediately upon receipt of the relay, an examination should be made  
for any damage sustained during shipment. If injury or damage resulting from rough handling is  
evident, a damage claim should be filed at once with the transportation company and the nearest  
General Electric Sales Office should be notified promptly.  
HANDLING  
Reasonable care should be exercised in unpacking the relay in order that none of the parts are injured  
nor the adjustments disturbed.  
STORAGE  
If the relays are not to be installed immediately, they should be stored in their original cartons in a  
place that is free from moisture, dust, and metallic chips. Foreign matter collected on the outside of  
the case may find its way inside when the cover is removed and cause trouble in the operation of the  
relay.  
ACCEPTANCE TESTS  
Immediately upon receipt of the relay an inspection and acceptance test should be made to make sure  
that no damage has been sustained in shipment and that the relay calibrations have not been  
disturbed.  
VISUAL INSPECTION  
Check the nameplate stamping to make sure that the model number and rating of the relay agree with  
the requisition.  
Remove the relay from its case and check that there are no broken or cracked molded parts or other  
signs of physical damage, and that all screws are tight.

GEK-45404  
CAUTION:  
Every circuit in the drawout case has an auxiliary brush. It is especially important on current  
circuits and other circuits with shorting bars that the auxiliary brush be bent high enough to  
engage the connecting plug or test plug before the main brushes do. This will prevent Current  
Transformer (CT) secondary circuits from being opened.  
MECHANICAL INSPECTION  
On relays that have time dials, the dials will be set at zero before the relay leaves the factory. It is  
necessary to change this setting to open the relay contacts.  
On all relays with locked time dials, make sure the two time-dial locking screws are tight. These  
locking screws are to prevent the dial from moving when the relay is subjected to high operating  
torque.  
The moving contact should be fastened securely in its support, and should engage the stationary  
contact about in the middle, or at least 1/16 inch inside the periphery of the stationary contact.  
The stop-arm leaf spring should deflect about 1/64 inch and the stop arm should clear the molded  
block by at least 0.020 inch.  
Any foreign material must be cleaned out of stator air gaps. Clearance between the disk and either  
the drag magnet or U magnet should be at least 0.010 inch for any position of the disk.  
End play of the disk should be from 0.005 inch to 0.010 inch. End play should not be so great as to  
allow the disk to strike the U magnet or the drag magnet. Check that top and bottom pivot and  
bearing screws are tight.  
There should be no noticeable friction in the rotating structure.  
Rotate the time dial to the zero position. Check by means of a neon lamp that the contacts just close;  
there should be approximately 1/32 inch wipe on the stationary contact. If the contact does not close,  
adjust the disk position by backing off the two clamping screws on the stop arm and rotating the stop  
arm relative to the cutout in the disk. This is a coarse adjustment. Retighten the clamping screws.  
For fine adjustment of contact closing, run the stationary contact brush in or out by means of its  
adjusting screw; after this adjustment, check that the screw is held firmly in its support.

ELECTRICAL TESTS  
Drawout Relays - General  
Since all drawout relays in service operate in their cases, it is recommended that they be tested in  
their cases or an equivalent steel case. In this way any magnetic effects of the enclosure will be  
accurately duplicated during testing. A relay may be tested without removing it from the panel by  
using a 12XLA13A test plug. This plug makes connections only with the relay and does not disturb  
any shorting bars in the case. Of course, the 12XLA12A test plug may also be used. Although this  
test plug allows greater testing flexibility, it also requires CT shorting jumpers and the exercise of  
greater care since connections are made to both the relay and the external circuitry.  
Power Requirements - General  
All alternating-current-operated devices are affected by frequency. Since non-sinusoidal waveforms  
can be analyzed as a fundamental frequency plus harmonics of the fundamental frequency, it follows  
that alternating-current devices (relays) will be affected by the applied waveform.  
Therefore, in order to test alternating-current relays properly it is essential to use a sine wave of  
current and/or voltage. The purity of the sine wave (i.e. its freedom from harmonics) cannot be  
expressed as a finite number for any particular relay; however, and relay using tuned circuits, RL or  
RC networks, or saturating electromagnets (such as time-overcurrent relays) would be especially  
affected by non-sinusoidal waveforms.  
Similarly, relays requiring DC control power should be tested using direct current and not full-wave  
rectified power. Unless the rectified supply is well filtered, many relays will not operate properly  
due to the dips in the rectified power. Zener diodes, for example, can turn off during these dips. As a  
general rule the DC source should not contain more than 5% ripple.  
Pickup-voltage Test  
The pickup voltage should be checked; for the IAV51D, IAV51K, and IAV52K, the pickup voltage  
should be checked on more than one tap. See relay nameplate for value of pickup voltage (closing  
volts). Test connections, Fig. 10, are the same as for the time-voltage test except that the timer is not  
required.  
Time-voltage Test  
The time-voltage curves should be checked for one or more settings. Recommended test connections  
for this test are shown in Fig. 10.

INSTALLATION  
INSPECTION  
At the time of installation, the relay should be inspected for tarnished contacts, loose screws, or other  
imperfections. If any trouble is found, it should be corrected; see MAINTENANCE. Check the  
nameplate for model number and rating.  
LOCATION  
The location should be clean and dry, free from dust and excessive vibration, and well lighted to  
facilitate inspection and testing.  
MOUNTING  
The relay should be mounted on a vertical surface. The outline and panel drilling dimensions are  
shown in Fig. 14 for relay Types IAV51D, IAV52D, and IAV52C. Fig. 15 shows outline and panel  
drilling for relay Types IAV51K and IAV52K.  
CONNECTIONS  
Internal connections are shown in Figs. 3 to 7 for the various relays.  
GROUND CONNECTIONS  
One of the mounting studs or screws should be permanently grounded by a conductor not less than  
No. 12 B&S gage copper wire or its equivalent.  
OPERATION  
Before the relay is put in service, the pickup-voltage and time-voltage tests described under  
ACCEPTANCE TESTS (ELECTRICAL TESTS) should be made to determine that factory  
adjustments have not been disturbed.  
The relay may be tested while mounted on the panel, either from its own or another source of power,  
by inserting a separate testing plug in place of the connecting plug. Or, the cradle can be drawn out  
and replaced by another that has been laboratory tested.

ADJUSTMENTS  
Target and Seal-in Unit  
For trip coils operating on current ranging from 0.2 up to 2.0 amperes at the minimum control  
voltage, set the target and seal-in tap plug in the 0.2- ampere tap.  
For trip coils operating on currents ranging from 2 to 30 amperes at the minimum control voltage,  
place the tap plug in the 2.0-ampere tap.  
The tap plug is the screw holding the right-hand stationary contact of the seal-in element. To change  
the tap setting, first remove the connecting plug. Then, take a screw from the left-hand stationary  
contact and place it in the desired tap. Next, remove the screw from the other tap, and place it in the  
left-hand contact. This procedure is necessary to prevent the right- hand stationary contact from  
getting out of adjustment. Screws should not be in both taps at the same time, as pickup for DC will  
be the higher tap value and AC pickup will be increased.  
Voltage Setting  
The voltage at which the contacts operate may be changed by changing the tap of the IAV51D,  
IAV52D, and IAV51K relays.  
The pickup of any of the relays, when set for minimum pickup, can be adjusted by means of the  
spring adjusting ring. The ring may be turned by inserting a tool in the notches around the edge. By  
turning the ring, the operating voltage of the IAV52C relay may be brought into agreement with the  
nameplate value, and in the same way the IAV51D, IAV51K, and IAV52K relays may be brought  
into agreement with the minimum tap setting.  
For taps other than minimum, the slide band on the adjustable resistor associated with the selected  
tap, in series with the operating coil, should be moved until the pickup is at tap voltage. This  
adjustment should not be made until the spring adjustment for minimum pickup is made, since the  
spring adjustment sets the basic torque level of the relay.  
Adjustments for pickup between calibrated taps can be made by selecting the tap closest to the  
desired voltage and then adjusting the resistor band associated with the tap selected.  
The relay is adjusted at the factory to operate from any time-dial position at a minimum voltage that  
is 8% of rated voltage. The relays reset at 90% or more of the operating value. Operating voltage for  
the IAV51D, IAV52D, IAV51K, and IAV52K relays is the minimum voltage for a given tap setting  
at which the contacts just make.

Time Setting  
The time of operation of the overvoltage relay is determined primarily by the setting of the time dial.  
Further adjustment is obtained by moving the permanent magnet along its supporting shelf; moving  
the magnet in toward the back of the relay decreases the time, while moving it out increases the time.  
Fig. 11 shows the time-voltage characteristics of the IAV51D, IAV52D, IAV51K and IAV52K for  
the four tap settings for the Number 1, 5, and 10 time- dial positions. The time-voltage characteristic  
of the 1AV52C, which has no taps, is the same as for the "A" tap in the D & K relays.  
To make time settings, set the time dial to the number required (to give the desired characteristic) by  
turning it until the number lines up with the notch in the adjacent frame. The time indicated by the  
curves is the time required to close the relay contacts when the voltage is suddenly increased from a  
value below pickup to the value on the curve (expressed in multiples of tap setting). The time  
obtained should be the value on the curve ± 15%.  
PERIODIC CHECKS AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
In view of the vital role of protective relays in the operation of a power system, it is important that a  
periodic test program be followed. It is recognized that the interval between periodic checks will  
vary depending upon environment, type of relay and the user's experience with periodic testing. Until  
the user has accumulated enough experience to select the test interval best suited to his individual  
requirements, it is suggested that the points listed under INSTALLATION PROCEDURE be  
checked every six months.  
* Revised since last issue  
MAINTENANCE  
These relays are adjusted at the factory and it is advisable not to disturb the adjustments. If for any  
reason, they have been disturbed, the following points should be observed in restoring them.  
DISK AND BEARINGS  
The lower jewel may be tested for cracks by exploring its surface with the point of a fine needle. If it  
is necessary to replace the jewel, the new jewel should be turned up until the disk is centered in the  
air gap, after which it should be locked in position by the set screw provided for the purpose.

CONTACT CLEANING  
For cleaning fine silver contacts, a flexible burnishing tool should be used. This consists of a  
flexible strip of metal with an etched roughened surface, resembling in effect a superfine file. The  
polishing action is so delicate that no scratches are left, yet corroded material will be removed  
rapidly and thoroughly. The flexibility of the tool ensures the cleaning of the actual points of  
contact.  
Fine silver contacts should not be cleaned with knives, files, or abrasive paper or cloth. Knives or  
files may leave scratches, which increase caring and deterioration of the contacts. Abrasive paper or  
cloth may leave minute particles of insulating abrasive material in the contacts and thus prevent  
closing.  
The burnishing tool described above can be obtained from the factory.  
SERVICING  
For servicing and adjustments see applicable instructions under ACCEPTANCE TESTS,  
INSTALLATION, AND MAINTENANCE.  
RENEWAL PARTS  
It is recommended that sufficient quantities of renewal parts be carried in stock to enable the prompt  
replacement of any that are worn, broken, or damaged. Parts bulletin number GEF-3897 gives a list  
of those most subject to wear in ordinary operation, or to damage due to possible abnormal  
conditions.  
When ordering renewal parts, address the nearest Sales Office of the General Electric Company,  
specify quantity required, and give name of part wanted, complete nameplate data, including serial  
number. If possible give the General Electric Company's requisition on which the relay was  
furnished.
