1.7 Health & Safety At Work Act (1974)

The information hereunder is supplied in accordance with Section 6 of the Health and Safety
at Work Act 1974 with respect to the duties of manufacturers, designers and installers in
providing health and safety information to Customers. The information advises of reasonably
foreseeable risks involved with the safe installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance,
dismantling, cleaning or repair of products supplied by Brush Electrical Machines Ltd.

Every precaution should be taken to minimise risk. When acted upon, the following
precautions should considerably minimise the possibility of hazardous incidents.

Delivery Checks: Check for damage sustained during transport. Damage to packing cases
must be investigated in the presence of an Insurance Surveyor.

Installation: Where installation is made by engineers other than Brush Electrical Machines

Electrical Installation:
IMPROPER USE OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IS HAZARDOUS.

It is important to be aware that control unit terminals and components may be

live to line and supply voltages.

Before working on a unit, switch off and isolate it and all other equipment within the
confines of the same control cubicle. Check that all earth connections are sound.

WARNING: Suitable signs should be prominently displayed, particularly on switches

and isolators, and the necessary precautions taken to ensure that power is not
inadvertently switched on to the equipment whist work is in progress, or is not yet
completed.

Adjustment and fault finding on live equipment must be by qualified and authorised personnel
only, and should be in accordance with the following rules:
Ø Read the Instruction Manual.
Ø Use insulated meter probes.
Ø Use an insulated screwdriver for potentiometer adjustment where a knob is not provided.
Ø Wear non-conducting footwear.
Ø Do not attempt to modify wiring.
Ø Replace all protective covers, guards, etc. on completion.

Operation & Maintenance: Engineers responsible for operation and maintenance of

equipment should familiarise themselves with the information contained in this manual and
with the recommendations given in associated documentation. They should be familiar also
with the relevant regulations in force.
Ø It is essential that all covers are in place and that all guards and/or safety fences to
protect any exposed surfaces and/or pits are fitted before the associated machine is
started.
Ø All adjustments to the associated machine must be carried out whilst the machine is
stationary and isolated from all electrical supplies. Replace all covers and/or safety fences
before restarting the machine.
Ø When maintenance is being carried out, suitable WARNING signs should be prominently
displayed and the necessary precautions taken to ensure power is not inadvertently
switched on to the equipment whilst work is in progress, or is not yet complete.
Ø When power is restored to the equipment, personnel should not be allowed to work on
auxiliary circuits, eg. heaters, current transformers etc.

1.8 Protection And Monitoring Devices

WARNING: It is essential that any protection or monitoring device for use with
generators or ancillary equipment should be connected and operational at all times
unless specifically stated otherwise herein. It should not be assumed that all
necessary protection and monitoring devices are supplied as part of Brush Electrical
Machines Ltd. scope of supply.

Unless otherwise agreed, it is the responsibility of others to verify the correct

operation of all protection and monitoring equipment, whether supplied by Brush
Electrical Machines Ltd. or not. It is necessary to provide a secure environment that
ensures operator safety and limits potential damage to the generator and ancillary
equipment. If requested, Brush Electrical Machines Ltd. would be pleased to
provide advice on any specific protection application issues or concerns.

3 INTRODUCTION

The unit comprises a single printed circuit board. It requires an auxiliary d.c. supply for operation and an
a.c. sensing signal. A relay is incorporated which is energised when the voltage and frequency of the
input signal are below pre-set levels. Above these levels, or when the d.c. supply is disconnected, the
relay is de-energised.

4 SPECIFICATION

1) Input Sensing Signal

0 to 320 volts r.m.s. (6 VA at maximum volts).

2) DC Supply
Either, 125 volts +/- 20%, 100 mA maximum.
Or, 24 volts +/- 20%, 80 mA maximum.
Note: To make the unit suitable for the required auxiliary d.c. voltage, the correct terminals must be
used and Link 1 on the board must be set to the appropriate position. (See Figure 4: Connection
Diagram, Page 9).

3) Operating Level
The relay is permanently energised when the signal is less than 1.5 volts r.m.s. or the frequency is
less than 2 Hz.
At input signal levels below 5 volts r.m.s. the operating frequency varies slightly with voltage.
The typical operating frequency versus signal voltage is given in Figure 3, Page 7).

4) Delay On Reset
There is a delay of approximately 10 seconds before the relay de-energises as the signal increases
from below to above the operating level.

5) Temperature Range
o o
Operating: -20 C to +65 C
o o
Storage: -40 C to +100 C

6) Output Signal
One changeover relay contact rated:
10 amps, 250 volts a.c.: 2 amps, 440 volts a.c.
10 amps, 30 volts d.c. resistive: 0.3 amps, 125 volts d.c. resistive.

A free-wheeling diode should be fitted across the coil of a d.c. slave relay if used.

7) Isolation
The unit provides isolation up to 1.5 kV between the d.c. auxiliary supply (of either voltage) and the
a.c. sensing signal.

8) Terminals
A 12-way screw terminal block on one long side of the board.

9) Dimensions
155 x 127 x 80 mm high.
Fixing centres, 145 x 112 mm, with 4 x M4 holes.

10) Weight
Approximately 0.2 kg

5 INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING

Figure 4: Connection Diagram

1) Ensure that the unit has been wired in accordance with Figure 4.
2) Fit Link 1 to correspond with the appropriate d.c. supply voltage.
3) Switch on the d.c. supply and check voltage and polarity.
4) With the generator at standstill, the relay should be energised. Check that the relay contact is
closed between terminals 6 and 7, and that the contact is open between terminals 6 and 8.
5) Start the machine and check that the relay de-energises in accordance with Figure 3: Typical
Operating Characteristic. Note: As the signal increases from below to above the operating level,
there is a delay of approximately 10 seconds before the relay de-energises.
6) With the relay de-energised, check that the relay contact is open between terminals 6 and 7, and
that the contact is closed between terminals 6 and 8.
7) When the machine is shutdown, check that the relay energises in accordance with Figure 3.
