Line Models
The following Line Models and Cable Model are designed for realistic conditions, such as overvolt-
age, overcurrent, and a certain magnetic coupling between the wires.
As linear behaviour for excess values is required, the line inductances must be represented by non-
saturable induction coils. To withstand certain overvoltages, overdimensioning of wiring and
capacitors is necessary.

One of the overhead models is representing a high voltage line of 220 kV, and the other a feeder at
medium level 40 kV.
All models are constructed as π-links, the HV model and the cable model as a double π-link.

Flexibility to simulate typical situations, such as compensating a long line at both ends and also in
the middle, must also be available. Combination of the π-links make it possible to create other char-
acteristic data, e.g. capacitors can be connected in ∆ instead of Y.

MV1431-1

Universal Relay Trainer
MV1431-1 is a Universal Relay Trainer intended for
practical training in static relays and relay protection
engineering for applications in power systems.

The Universal Relay Trainer MV 1431-1 is an
integrated training system including different kinds of
static relays, which are common in relay protection
systems around the world.

The static relays used in the experiment unit belong to
the well known ABB COMBIFLEX relay system.

The Universal Relay Trainer MV 1431-1 does not only
include static relays, it also contains a current trans-
former, a voltage transformer and an internal power
supply. These components are all fitted into a sturdy
steel cabinet with a front panel on which all sub units
can be connected using either 4 mm safety sockets or
2 mm signal plug terminals. The choice of 2 mm signal
plug terminals makes the unit compact and suitable for
experiments with the trainer standing on a table.

MV1300 Power Pack

This power supply unit is especially adapted for
laboratory experiments on electric machines and
power systems.

It can be used where variable or fixed AC or DC is

required and is particularly suited to the laboratory
experiments with Terco´s torque meters and test
machines. It is designed to slide under the lab table
so that controls and connections are in a comfort-
able working position.

The contactor for variable voltages has a safety limit

switch which eliminates switching on high voltages
by mistake, thus protecting students and equipment
especially when working on electrical machines.
All outputs are fused by MCB´s and have load
switches.

The Power Pack has also Earth Leakages Circuit

Breaker (ELCB).

The most common fault is line-to-earth where the current

is limited by the phase voltage from the two healthy leads
divided by the capacitive impedance added by the arc
resistance and the remaining zero sequence impedance.

Since this current is mainly capacitive it could be

balanced by an inductance between the neutral point of
