1. Introduction
The GKAD1 is a trip circuit supervision relay, and is provided the following features:
- Trip circuit supervision in both closed and open positions of circuit breaker
- Detection and alarm of trip circuit supply failure and of circuit breaker tripping
mechanism failure
- Single-phase or three-phase types available
- Compact size design
- Flush mounting
6 F 2 S 0 7 9 2
Application
The GKAD1 is used for monitoring of the circuit breaker tripping circuit. The GKAD1 issues an
alarm if the GKAD1 detects trip circuit supply failure or circuit breaker tripping mechanism
failure.
The GKAD1 has two models as shown in Table 2.1.

Three-phase type
Function
The GKAD1 monitors the circuit breaker tripping control, and Figure 2.1 shows a typical
scheme. When the trip circuit is complete, a small current flows in photo-couplers PC1 and/or
PC2, the circuit breaker auxiliary contacts and the trip coil. This current flows for both the
breaker open and closed conditions.

If the trip circuit supply is lost or if a connection becomes open circuit then the GKAD1 issues a
trip circuit fail alarm and operates the target indicator. As for the sensitivity, the detection
voltage and detection current are 40V or less and 1.5mA or less.
Figure 2.2 shows the special application of GKAD1 relay. This scheme ensures that all trip
circuit wiring (tripping route) from the trip contact to the trip coil is supervised in either the
breaker closed or open condition. At CB closed condition, the monitoring current flows in
photo-coupler PC1. On the other hand, at CB open condition, the monitoring current flows in
photo-couplers PC1 and PC2 via tripping cable and CB auxiliary contact 52b. Under both CB
conditions, if tripping route/trip coil is disconnected, the monitoring current is interrupted and
both PC1 and PC2 are off and the GKAD1 issues alarm.

Output Contacts
The GKAD1 provides a normally close and two normally open contacts for the trip circuit fail
alarm and a normally close contact for power supply fail alarm. (See Figures 2.3 and 2.4.)
The detection sensitivity for power supply fail is less than 60V.
6 F 2 S 0 7 9 2
2.3
Connections
The GKAD1 auxiliary supply input has a nominal 110/125Vdc rating or 220/250Vdc rating.
The typical application and connection diagrams are shown in Figures 2.3 and 2.4. Figure 2.3
shows a single-phase application for GKAD1-12 and Figure 2.4 shows a three-phase application
for GKAD1-22.
The two resistors on the PC1, PC3 and PC5 photo coupler circuits are added as shown in Figure
2.3 and 2.4 below in consideration of the fail-safe of relay failure. The resistors can function to
prevent unwanted tripping due to relay internal circuit failure under CB closed condition.
CAUTION
Do not connect anything to 5th-12th terminals in Figure 2.3. These are reserved in
GKAD1-12.

4. Installation
4.1
Receipt of Relays
On receiving the GKAD1 relays, carry out the acceptance inspection immediately. In particular,
check for damage during transportation, and if any is found, contact the vendor.
Always store the unit in a clean, dry environment.
4.2
Mounting
Refer to Appendix A for details of mechanical fixings.
4.3
Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION
The printed circuit board (PCB) within the GKAD1 relay is not intended to be a removable
module. Do not remove the PCB from the unit case, since electronic components on the PCB are
very sensitive to electrostatic discharge. If it is absolutely essential to take the PCB out of the
case, do not touch the electronic components and terminals with your bare hands. Additionally,
always put the PCB in a conductive anti-static bag when storing it.
4.4
Handling Precautions
A person's normal movements can easily generate electrostatic potential of several thousand
volts. Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices when handling electronic circuits
can cause serious damage, which often may not be immediately apparent but the reliability of
the circuit will have been reduced.
The electronic circuits are completely safe from electrostatic discharge when housed in the case.
Do not expose them to risk of damage by removing the PCB unnecessarily.
The unit incorporates the highest practicable protection for its semiconductor devices. However,
if it becomes necessary to remove the PCB, precautions should be taken to preserve the high
reliability and long life for which the equipment has been designed and manufactured.
CAUTION
Before removing the PCB, ensure that you are at the same electrostatic potential as the
equipment by touching the case.
Handle only the edges of the PCB. Avoid touching the electronic components, PCB
surface or connectors.
Do not pass the PCB to another person without first ensuring you are both at the same
electrostatic potential. Shaking hands achieves equipotential.
Place the PCB on an anti-static surface, or on a conducting surface which is at the
same potential as yourself.
Do not place the PCB in a polystyrene tray.
It is strongly recommended that detailed investigations on electronic circuitry should be carried
out in a Special Handling Area such as described in the IEC 60747.

5.2
Precautions
CAUTION
Ensure that the auxiliary supply connections are properly fixed to their terminals.
Before turning on the power, check that the polarity and voltage of the power supply are
correct.
Turn off the auxiliary supply before checking the interior of the relay.
While the power is on, do not mount/dismount the PCB.
Failure to observe any of the precautions above may cause damage or malfunction of the relay.
Refer to section 4.4 for information on handling precautions.
5.3
Preparation
Test equipment
The following test equipment is required for the commissioning tests.
DC power supply.
Calibrated voltmeter.
Visual inspection
After unpacking the product, check for any damage to the case. If there is any damage, the
internal module might also have been affected. Contact the vendor.
Unit ratings
Check that the items described on the nameplate on the front of the unit conform to the users
specification. The items are: relay type and model, and auxiliary DC supply voltage rating.
5.4
Storage
The spare relay should be stored in a dry and clean room. Based on IEC Standard 60255-0 the
storage temperature should be 25C to +70C, but the temperature of 0C to +40C is
recommended for long-term storage.
