Section 2. COMMISSIONING
2.1 Description of relay, calculation of setting and commissioning preliminaries
2.1.1 Description of MFAC 14/MFAC 34
This is a voltage operated relay having seven equally spaced settings of
15–185 volts, 25–175 volts, 25–375 volts or 100–400 volts which may be selected
by means of a plug bridge.
The relays may be used for any type of high impedance circulating
current protection.
