Auxiliary Relays Testing


Testing Procedures

  • Measure Relay Pick up & Drop off Voltage/current. 
  • Measure Relay Pick up & Drop off Timing.
  • Measure Relay Burden.
  • Measure Relay Contact Resistance.

Equipment Required

  1. Injection Kit (Sverker, Freja, .. etc).
  2. Measurement Device (Multi-meter).
  3. Connection Cables (Banana Type).

Pick Up & Drop Off Test

  • Connection will be same as the shown figure.
  • Increase voltage until the relay picks up. Note down the pick up value for voltage & current.
  • Decrease voltage until the relay drops off. Note down the drop off value for voltage & current.

Pick Up & Drop Off Timing Test

  • For timing test we will use one pole of MCB series with Ammeter to cut dc supply off.
  • Use the other pole of MCB for starting sverker timer.
  • Use any contact from the aux. relay to stop sverker timer.
  • Inject 125V directly to the relay coil. Note down the pick up time.
  • Energize the relay with 125V then switch the supply off. Note down the drop off time.

Burden Test

  • Energize the relay with 125V and measure the dc current.
  • Calculate the relay power (W) = 125v x measured current
