TYPE 76 OVERCURRENT RELAY
GENERAL The SWARTZ® Type 76 DC DC Overcurrent Relay from SMC is the most widely accepted protective overcurrent device used in the transit industry today, having been successfully used in every major transit system. The overcurrent relay provides maximum protection for trolley wires, third rails, feeder and substations from intermediate or remote overload conditions such as bolted faults, arcing fault and severe overloads. The solid state design and rugged construction ensure dependable low maintenance operation under adverse conditions.
DESCRIPTION The type 76 Overcurrent Relay is an insulated current monitor and overcurrent relay that may be used for either the positive or negative conductors in DC power distribution networks. The device is designed as a stand-alone relay or may be used in conjunction with a Type 82 automatic recloser relay. In combination with a reclose relay, it will automatically interrupt a fault and then reclose to continue service. SMC’s unique rate of rise channel. The Type 76DC Overcurrent Relay front panel controls and are calibrated in milivolts so that the relay is compatible with any type of shunt. The built-in calibration components allow accurate field calibration field calibration of each channel and feeder current settings.
