1618083-4

Protection Relays & Systems are inarguably one of the most important components in most electrical systems. They can provide not only immediate protection to all components in a system in case of a failure, but also allow for quick and easy preventative maintenance. The 1618083-4 relay is a particularly useful device used in Protection Relays & Systems and has wide-ranging application field and working principle.

Application Field

The strong points of the 1618083-4 protection relay are its application field and extended use. It is utilized in many industries and in relation to various difficult protection requirements. As such, it is widely used in various forms of power systems like high voltage power distribution systems, high power networks, and as a monitor for power sources like diesel-generator, motor, and UPS. It also works for Low Voltage AC and DC systems and can provide signals for both systems. Additionally, its complete protection is qualitatively checked for low voltage protection systems; medium voltage protection systems of cassette type, busbar, transformer, and cables; and also for different power sources and high voltage load.

Working Principles

The 1618083-4 is based on the principle of automatic and remote up-down regulation of current and voltage. Unlike other types of protective relays, its working depends on both current and voltage. When the current passes through the device, it either increases or decreases, depending on the voltage and the conditions of the system. For the current not to exceed the allowed voltage, the device regulates the current by decreasing it whenever it increases beyond the allowed voltage of the given system.

In the case of a high voltage system, the device can also detect any losses of electricity or interruptions in the current, leading to the protection shutting off and preventing a potential electrical accident. When the voltage reaches a certain value, the voltage protection will actuate by giving a warning signal and stop the current from increasing further.

The main functionality of the 1618083-4 is to keep currents and voltages within certain values. It works on the principle of limiting and comparing two reference currents and instigating an alarm or protection when the current exceeds a predetermined threshold. Similarly, in the case of voltage, any threshold voltages also trigger a protection after comparing it to a predefined voltage level. As such, it can be said that the device works as a type of load or overload protection.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 1618083-4 provides a wide range of applications and utility in relation to Protection Relays & Systems. Its working principle depends on both current and voltage. It provides both immediate protection and allows for easy maintenance of various electrical systems. In this sense, the 1618083-4 is an invaluable device for controlling currents and voltages, and providing for both safe usage and reliable functioning of different systems.
