\ _ Application ‘The relay ype ICM (this designotionis used henceforth {or simplicity’sseke to denote all four variants ICM 2, 1CM21, ICM 22 and ICM 23) isan overcurrent relay with ‘aninvorso-time characteristic. That means to say, its tripping time is shorter, the greater the fault current. As secondary relay itis fed by current transformers. Itis used to protect parts of electrical installations and simple line systems against short circuits. Except on teed lines the ICM 2 relays can be used together with directional relays forthe protection of ring-main systems. For the protec- tion of soidly earthed systems against earth faults there are relays with current settings up t00.2 Aavailable. ‘The relay can be employed in all situations where delayed fertuption of short circuits is required, provision also being made forinstantaneous tripping ata set maximum current. Main features ~ Reliable, robust Fort gearing or coupling + Range of time setting 10-100% (see current/time characteristic) — Range of current setting 1:4, adjustablein 7 steps by means of non-interrupting setting switch — High resetting current, atleast 96% of relay setting = Max. overrun time of 0.02 = Temperature-compensated measuring system = Instantaneous maximum-current trip with own con- tact and own visual signal ~ Instantaneous maximum-currenttrip, continuously adjustable between 10/, (relay setting) and infinity ~ Separate double-pole tripping contactor with indicator, forhigh contactrating — Lowintemal consumption ~ Plug-in active part, the ct. connections being auto- matically short-circuited when the relay is withdrawn ~ Tropicalized design ss measuring system without Neale cca raisin Fig, 1 ~Inverse-time overcurrent rele, type1CM 2h | { +© Design and principie Thg sla} Comprises a temperature-compencated Ferraris rintasuringsystom which equirosno coupling. gearing orhinged amature.

The coil of the indicating contactor may bea current coil (Fig. 3) energized by the current which ‘rips the breaker ‘This tripping command is emitted by the main relay and applied direct to the breaker. One of the relay contacts has to be able to make the full ripping current of the breaker. Not until oftor about 25 ms, when the indicating contactor has picked up, does the latter short-circuit tie relay contacts, For this contactor only normally open contacts are permissible, because only then can the intemal constumption and thus the resistance of the contactor coils be kept small ‘The contactor coil may also be a voltage coil (Fig. 4). When the relay picks up, the contactor coilis connected to the auxiliary voltage by one of the two relay contacts,‘the breaker tripping cugentis handled by the indicating contactor, One ofits wo contacts may bea normally closed contact. Itis possible toincorporate two separate indicating ‘contactors, one fr the inverse-time tripping, the other forthe instantaneous maximum-current tripping. “Tho active part ofthe relays plugged into the dust-tight casing. Having reset the signal buttons, the lid can be opened. The locking arm, normally vertical, can then be swung down, in which position the active part ofthe relays already disconnected from the eadsand the ct. Connections automatically short-circuited. Therelay can now be entirely withdrawn trom ts casing, forinstance fortesting orrepair. Designation of types Type of relay.

Circuit 11~12 (signal for instantaneous trip) ist therefore not equipped with test terminals. For the special model with test terminals a separate test plug (Fig. 5) can be supplied. For testing, itis inserted beneath the pair of lugs in the casing, as shown in Fig.6, and then the drawout armis lowered. First of all the shorting switches close, then the connections to the terminals of the casing are interrupted and finally the test terminals are connected to the terminals of the plug, The test plug is supplied with 3 mof cable but without any terminals on the supply side, as they have to match those of the test set, Fig. G-- Inverse-tine overcurrent ilay type ICM 2 with ost pag incated, lacking aim lowered and relay inthe postion fo esting |Techpical data Current range: Relay pick-up current /adjustable to: 40/16 A 40 50 60 80 10 12 16 A 25/10 A 25 30 40 50 60 80 10 A 1.5/ 6.0 15 20 25 30 40 60 60 A 1.0/4.0, 10 125 15 20 25 30 40 A 08/ 3.24, 08 10 12 16 20 24 32 A 705/20 05 06 08 10 12 15 20 A “O27 OBA 02 025 03 04 05 06 O8 A Consumption at pick-up current: 50 Hz 35 36 37 39 42 44 48 VA 60 Hz 4142 43 46 49 52 56 VA Rated frequency ‘50 or 60 Hz Permissible sustained current Short-circuit strength: thermal (for 1's) dynamic Timing element 2x setcurrent 100 minimum set current 800% minimum set current Picl_ >eurrent/, max. error 24% Time-lag ‘as per characteristic, Fig. 7 Max. error upto 2x: = 10% to Axi 7% 4t020x/: = 5% Rosette when tme-iag sot 0 100% approx, 955 Max. overtun time ; 0.025 Drop-outratio ‘in, 0.96 — - Contact break ime aftertipping | - Instantaneous maximum-éurrent trip Sotting range fortypeICM2_andICM21 type ICM 22 and ICM 23 max. 0.085 2.5-10*/and « 3 -10x/and Max—ror | + 10% Opef@fing at twice set current orover Drop-out current =O. 03s approx. 0.08 s plus operating ime of indicating contacto approx. 1.2-2.5% pick-up current/ of relay depending on setting Starting contact (instead of instantaneous-current trip) Pick-upvaue max. 1.25%7 — ; ‘min. 0.96%) — aaas Drop-out value 1 Please quote wien ordering Ordving lasructions 4.
