The document describes an inverse-time overcurrent relay called the ICM 21. It has an inverse-time characteristic where tripping time is shorter for higher fault currents. It provides delayed interruption of short circuits and instantaneous tripping at a set maximum current. It uses a temperature-compensated Ferraris measuring system without gearing or coupling to achieve accurate current/time characteristics. The relay is adjustable and can be used to protect electrical installations and lines against overcurrent, earth fault, and short circuits.

Features l Reliable, robust Ferraris measuring system without gearing or coupling l Range of time setting 10-100% (see current/time characteristic) l Range of current setting 1 : 4, adjustable in 7 steps by means of non-interrupting setting switch l High resetting current, at least 90% of relay setting l Max. overrun time of 0.02 s l Temperature -compensated measuring system l Instantaneous maximum-current trip with own contact and own visual signal l Instantaneous trip is continuously adjustable in either I x 2.5-10 or I x 4-20 range and to infinity l Separate double-pole tripping contactor with indicator, for high contact rating l Low internal consumption. l Plug-in active part, the C.T. connections being automatically short-circuited when the relay is withdrawn. l Tropicalized design.
the driving solenoid has 14 tappings, corresponding to the seven stages of the non-interrupting setting switch for the relay current. The adjustment of the time setting disc determines the angle of rotation of the Ferraris disc prior to contact making. The braking magnet consisting of a pair of crossmagnetized magnets determines the speed of rotation of the Ferraris disc at a given current.

Application The relay type ICM is an over current relay with an inverse-time characteristic. That means to say, its tripping time is shorter, the greater the fault current. As secondary relay parts it is fed by current transformers. It is used to protect parts of electrical installations and simple line systems against over current, earth fault and short circuits. For the protection of solidly earthed systems against earth faults, relays are available with current setting up to 0.1 A. The relay can be employed in all situations where delayed interruption of short circuits is required, provision also being made for instantaneous tripping at a set maximum current.
Design & principle
The relay comprises a temperature-compensated Ferraris measuring system which requires no coupling, gearing or hinged armature. The 1 mm thick Ferraris disc of aluminum is drawn by a recall spring, a recall tape and a worm against a stop on the time adjustment disc, and is thus held in its position of rest. The worm compensate for any change in the force of the recall spring within an angle of rotation of the Ferraris disc of 320o. Thus the recall torque remains constant. The driving torque and the angular speed of the Ferraris disc are constant. As a result the current/time characteristics of the relay are exactly proportional.The relays are manufactured with two current/time characteristic for 50 Hz (Fig. 6, 7 ). The characteristic determines the type designation of the particular relay. The current coil of

other for the instantaneous maximum-current tripping. The active part of the relay is plugged into the dust-tight casing. The locking arm, normally vertical, can then be pulled down, in which position the active part of the relay is already disconnected from the leads and the C.T. connections automatically short-circuited. The relay can now be entirely withdrawn from its casing, for instance for testing or repair. Designation of types Type of relay Current/time characteristic 50 Hz

The relay casing is supplied for flush mounting in a switchboard. (see Fig.8). Test terminals, type suffixp At the front of the relays are the easily accessible test terminals 20 (Fig.1). When terminals 11 and 12 are provided for relays with two indicating contactors, test terminals can only be provided for relay terminals 1 10. Circuit 11 - 12 (signal for instantaneous trip) is therefore not equipped with test terminals. For the special model with test terminals a separate test plug (Fig.5) can be supplied. For testing, it is inserted beneath the pair of lugs in the casing, and then the drawout arm is 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 test plug. The test plug is supplied with 3 m of cable but without any terminals on the supply side.

The armature of the instantaneous maximumcurrent release is drawn by the leakage flux of the driving magnet, acting against the force of a spring. The maximum current setting may be adjusted at the adjusting cylinder. When set to infinity () the release is blocked. The release has its own contact (normally open) and a signal button which can be reset from outside. The indicating release contactor (CV2) has two separate contacts with double interruption and a signal button which pops out when the relay trips and can be reset manually. The contactor coil is a voltage coil. When the relay picks up, the contactor coil is connected to the auxiliary voltage by relay contacts. The breaker tripping current is handled by the indicating contactor. It is possible to incorporate two separate indicating contactors, one for the inverse-time tripping, the
