Application
The auxiliary relays type R XP8n,R XPQ 8n are used
for all kinds of control and protection circuits in
pow er stations and industrial installations, w here a
high degree of reliability and a high contact rating
are stipulated, w ith m inim al internal consum ption.
Acting as an instantaneous sw itching elem ent, it
provides galvanic separation and contact
m ultiplication in tripping and signaling circuits of
protective relays.
Design and principle
The auxiliary relays in the C O M B IFLEX system , type
R XP8n and R XPQ 8n are instantaneous plunger type
relay w ith 7 contacts w ith double interruption. They
are designed to operate from D .C .
The m agnet system com prises a fixed core and a
m oving, plunger-type arm ature, w hich actuates the
contact bar directly. W hen the coil is de-energized ,
the arm ature of the m agnet and the contact bar are
forced back into their initial position by a spring
action. The contacts are arranged sym m etrically in
tw o row s, on either side of the m agnet, clearly visible
and readily accessible. They are designed for a
m axim um rated voltage of 250V D .C . or A.C . The
m aterial used for the contact tips is hard silver.
At the m ost, 3 norm ally closed contacts are
perm issible, w hich should be distributed evenly
betw een tw o sides. The field w eakening resistor is
cut in by m eans of a delayed norm ally closed contact
on a special contact bar in series w ith the coil.
The relay type R XPQ 8n is specially designed for high
speed operation and m echanical latching. It has an
operation indicator w hich, pops out w hen the relay
latches. The relay can be m anually reset by pressing
in and resetting the operation indicator.
A transparent protective hood of m aterial that does
not burn readily provides good protection against
dust. The plug-in relay m odule occupies tw o seats
(2U 12C ). The auxiliary relays should alw ays be
m ounted w ith their contact bar horizontal.
