1 General
The inverse overcurrent time relay WI1-3 is used as a
c.t. tripping device. Together with the current trans-
formers WI1-W it represents a protection system de-
veloped especially for "unfused outdoor medium volt-
age circuit breakers" in transformer- or distribution sta-
tions without station batteries. In quality and climatic
versitility the relay- and current transformer arrangement
meets all the requirements for compact outdoor sta-
tions. The current transformers WI1-W as well as unit
WI1-3 are protected through cast resin cases.
Unit WI1-3 requires no supply voltage. It draws the
necessary energy from the current transformer circuits
and from this also the energy for the tripping of the
c.b. is made available.
The tripping impulses of relay WI1-3 are repeated un-
til the primary current is interrupted. This is of advan-
tage when the c.b. does not trip, caused for instance
by dirt accumulation in the mechanism, and therefore
the fault current continues to flow. A tripping character-
istic required by the customer can be arranged ac-
cording to prior agreement.

3 Functional mode
3.1 The protection system WI
The three ring type current transformers WI1-W trans-
form the primary current flowing through the medium
voltage cable into the secondary current, which forms
the measuring value and the energy supply for relay
WI1-3 (input terminals 5 - 10). In case of overcurrent
WI1-3 gives the tripping command acc. to its tripping
characteristic curve.
Tripping modes
There are two tripping modes to choose:
a) Power impulse output (10W during 50ms):
As tripping commands WI1-3 gives power im-
pulses directly to the tripping coil of the c.b (termi-
nals 1 and 2). Two capacitors with an energy of
0.5Ws before tripping are discharged through the
tripping coil in case of tripping. Depending on the
coil tripping impulses are generated in this way
with a peak voltage of 24 V and the duration of
50ms (at a power output of 10W). These impulses
are repeated periodically until the c.b. has
switched off. The interval time (t
pause
) between these
impulses is a function of the input current of WI1-3.
When the input current (I
Wsec
, proportionally to the
primary current) is getting larger the interval time
between the tripping impulses is decreasing. The
storage capacitors are again charged in a shorter
period. A permanent tripping starts from an input
current of 4A. The diagram (see fig. 1) shows the
interval time in dependence on the secondary cur-
rent (I
Wsec
) to the nominal current of WI1-3 (I
N WI1-3
=0.3A):
Fig. 1:
b) Potential free contacts tripping coil >10 W:
For applications where higher levels of tripping
power are required, relay WI1-3 is available with
a potential free change-over contact (see Fig. 6,
terminals 1; 2; 3). All WI1-3 relays of this design
have a slightly greater tripping delay (max. 8ms)
(exception: characteristic curve 9; this period was
here already considered).
Trip indication
The separately available flag indicators WI1-SZ2 and
WI1-SZ3 (connection to terminals 11;12) indicate the
tripping mechanically and are reset manually to they
initial position.
The incitation of the over current protection is indicated
by LED.
Remote tripping
Input "remote tripping" (terminals 20; 22) allows trip-
ping through external voltage impulses, e.g. from a
thermal tripping device, a Buchholz-protection or
through other remote tripping commands. This input
(220V AC, maximum 30 min) has an effect directly on
the tripping circuits through by-passing the measuring
circuits. The input terminals are galvanically separated
from the electronic part of the relay.
Adaptation to the object to be protected
Protection system WI1-3 with the appropriate c.t.'s
WI1-W are adapted to the object to be protected as
follows:
Current transformers WI1-W are provided with tap-
pings for rough adaptation (S1-S2 and S1-S3).
A general view of the current transformer types WI1-
W is given in table 1. (Standard types; different CT
designs on request)
For fine adaptation, relay WI1-3 is equipped with
terminal bridges (terminals 13-18).

3.4 The electronic circuit of WI1-3
Measuring circuit and tripping characteristic
The input current is converted into a proportional volt-
age which is rectified and adapted to the following
electronic circuit via a 3-phase electronic measuring
range selector (terminals 13-18). The "mean values"
are formed here separately for each phase. The trip-
ping is caused by the highest of the three current-
proportional DC-voltages.
A complex circuitry in a combined analog- and digital
technique defines the characteristic curve. The tripping
characteristic curve can be specified freely on cus-
tomer's request and therefore the circuitry has a high
level of flexibility and accuracy. Because of digital de-
tection of the tripping period a high level of immunity
to interference, very exact long term tripping and good
aging stability is reached.
The incitation of the overcurrent protection is indicated
through a LED placed next to the connection terminals.
If the current falls below the response value of the
WI1-3 before reaching the tripping time, the LED ex-
tinguishes and the time measured is reset.
In case the response value is exceeded again, the
output of the characteristic transmitter gives a tripping
command to the tripping amplifier according to the
characteristic curve.
Current supply
The current supply of the relay is subdevided into two
ranges:
Supply of the measuring circuitry:
The stabilizing circuitry makes a symmetrical supply
voltage and a highly accurate reference voltage for
the characteristic circuitry possible.
Supply of the tripping level amplifier:
In order to have sufficient tripping energy available for
the tripping coil, even at very small tripping currents,
WI1-3 is equipped with a special "energy storage". It
consists of a capacitor charging unit which charges
two capacitors of each 1000 F to 24 V. These ca-
pacitors are discharged via the tripping coil. If the cir-
cuit breaker does not trip, for instance because of a
soiled mechanism, the failure current continues to flow.
The storage capacitors are charged again. A voltage
measuring circuit in WI1-3 measures the charging
voltage and gives a new tripping impulse when reach-
ing 24 V. This procedure is repeated until the primary
current is interrupted.

4 Tripping Characteristic
To determine the tripping characteristic it is essential to
know the behavior of the object to be protected (in-
rush, continuous carrying capacity etc.). The inverse
overcurrent time relay WI1-3 must not yet respond to
these current-/time values. Furthermore it has to be
taken into consideration that a protection facility (HRC-
fuse) connected after WI1-3 is effective before the re-
lay WI1-3 trips, in order to guarantee the selectivity of
the overcurrent protection system.
Fig. 3 shows a typical example for inrush and the
HRC-tripping characteristic curve of an object to be
protected (transformer in a distribution station). The
tripping characteristic curve of WI1-3 belonging to this
shows the ideal tripping characteristic.
It combines:
good selectivity towards HRC- fuses to the under-
voltage side and the transformer magnitized inrush.
good selectivity towards superior protection de-
vices
transformer over-load protection starting from a two-
fold rated current,
extremely short command time laps
(10ms at 30 I
N
)
The following tripping characteristic curves are in-
cluded in the scope of delivery. On request special
characteristic curves are prepared (for this please do
not fill in the number for the characteristic curve in your
order form).
The change-over terminals at the electronic multiple
range change-over are being considered in the trip-
ping characteristic curves.

TB WI1-3 06.96 E 23
5 Test of the protection system
For testing the protection devices a fixed test current
must flow into the test windings C and D of the current
transformer. Hereby is to be observed that during this
test no current should flow on the primary side and that
the test current must not flow longer than 30 s through
the test windings.
When switching on the test current and measuring the
tripping time the system, consisting of current trans-
formers WI1-W, wiring, WI1-3 incl. characteristic
curve, tripping coil and circuit breaker, is completely
checked over.
Hence, a simple and fast control of the entire protec-
tion system is guaranteed.
Basically the test wiring of current transformers WI1-W
has the following ratio to both secondary windings:
C-D/S1-S2/S1-S3
in the ratio of
2/2/1
thus e.g.
0.6A/0.6A/0.3A
The required test current and the tripping time belong-
ing to can be taken from the test table of the respective
characteristic curves or determined by the following
ranges:
Transformer tapping (S1-S2 or S1-S3),
Fine adaption of WI1-3 (terminals 13 - 18),
Tripping characteristic (course of the
characteristic curve)
In the diagram of the tripping characteristic a point
suitable for testing has to be selected at which a trip-
ping after a time pre-determined by the characteristic
curve must just occur. The test current calculated acc.
to the above ranges is fed into the test winding and
the pertaining tripping time measured.
Please observe:
Insignificant deviations to the ideal tripping time may
occur during the test. Because the input impedance of
WI1-3 is not linear the harmonic curve can "change its
form" acc. to the test current source. Furthermore the
actual tripping time is depending upon the impedance
of the primary current circuit in a small degree be-
cause it acts as additional load of the current trans-
former.
