• Measurements I
Types VDG11, 12
Type VDG11 and 12 relays are frequency compensated
induction diSC units with adjustable inverse time/voltage
characteristics.
Type VDG11 is an overvo!tage relay used for the ProT
tection of a,c, circuits and machines such as synchronous
motors. If the supply to an off-load synchronous motor
fails and the busbars supplying the motor are lightly
loaded, the motor voltage could rise instantaneously due
to the open circuit regulateon of the machine, Over"
vo,tage protection is also applied to motors supplying high
inertia loads, Other loads such as iifts and compressors
cause the motor to decelerate on loss of supply and for
tllese applications the under-frequency relay typf! FMG
is generally preferable (see Data Sheet MS/5088).
Type VDG12 is a neutral displacement relay for detection
of earth faults on transformers or generators which are
earthed at the neutral through a voltage transformer.
Taps on the operating coil and a series resistance are
connected to a link board and orovide a constant indu;;;;
tance/resistance ratio for frequency compensation on each
voltage setting.
Adjustment of the time setting is made by rotating a
knurled moulded disc against a graduated time multiplier
scale,

INDICATORS
An auxiliary attracted armatlJre unit with a hand reset
operation indicator, for either shunt reinforcing or series
seal in is fitted as standard.
