MVAJM
High Speed Tripping and Control Relays Features
! High speed operation
Models available ! High degree of mechanical stability
Type MVAJM relays may broadly be divided into three groups: ! Positive action without chatter
! High burden tripping relays ! Proof against high capacitance discharge
currents
! Low burden tripping relays
! Control relays
Customer Benefits
Application ! Directly operates circuit breaker trip coils
High burden tripping relays: Types MVAJM 15, 25, 41, 45 ! High reliability
! High speed operation
These relays are suitable for use in high security circuit breaker tripping circuits. In
particular they can be used in distributed tripping or control relay contact logic ! Immunity to wiring capacitance discharge
schemes where the initiating contact may be remote from the relay.The high burden
provides immunity to capacitance discharge currents, which can result at the inception
of an earth fault on battery wiring and immunity to the subsequent leakage current.
The high burden relays are recommended for use with series connected operation
indicators, supervision relays and series seal-in units on protective relays.
Low burden tripping relays: Types MVAJM 11, 13
These relays are suitable for applications where immunity to capacitance discharge and
high minimum operation current are not required. These relays are generally used
when a number of simultaneous operations are to be initiated by a single protective
relay having insufficient contacts of its own and where series connected operation
indicators are not used.
Control relay: Type MVAJM 14
This is an electrically reset control relay. The relay is meant for switching the secondary
circuits of current transformer in busbar protection. Also wherever “latch-in” type of
control relay is required for contact multiplication control schemes, relay type MVAJM
14 can be employed.

Technical data
Coil rating
Refer Table 2.
Voltage band for satisfactory operation
50% to 120% of rated voltage for trip relays. 75% to 120%
for MVAJM 14.
Operating time
10 millisecs nominal at rated voltage
Contacts
The number of contacts available is shown in Table 2.
Insulation
The relay meets the requirements of IS 3231 -
1965/IEC/255-5 Series C- 2KV for 1 minute.
Thermal rating
Relays with hand reset contacts:Relay coil short time
rated. Hand reset coil cut off contact provided in series
with operating coil.
Relays with self reset contacts:120% of rated voltage,
continuous.
Burden
Refer Table 2.
Table 1 lists the general characteristics and includes information on how the relay burden is modified at or just after operation. ‘Economy’
indicates that the burden is reduced to a low value. Instantaneous cut-off is a feature of some hand and electrically reset elements and
reduces the burden to zero.
