1.2.4. “Binox” bistable tripping device and tripping coil
The "Binox" bistable trigger is a precision electromechanical
actuator which is sealed with its own reinforcement and
integrated in the switch driving mechanism. This release
acts upon the switch when there is a protection trip. It is
characterised by the low actuation power (high energy
efficiency) it requires for tripping. This energy is delivered in
the form of a pulse from the relay in a controlled manner to
ensure the proper operation of the release and the opening
of the switch.
The trials and tests passed by the
ekor
.rpa-100 unit set and
cubicle, along with quality assurance in manufacture, mean
this is a highly reliable element in the tripping chain. The
solutions presented by
Ormazabal
with
ekor
.rpa-100 units
have this tripping device installed as standard.

“Binox” Tripping coil
The operations ordered by the
ekor
.rpa-100 unit digital
outputs are performed by means of conventional tripping
coils. This way, a redundant and therefore more reliable
operational system is achieved.
1.3. Functionality of the unit
The functionality of the assembly as a unit (MV cubicles for
protection, metering and control, sensors, and protection
and metering transformers) is validated in a test plan carried
out in an in-house controlled environment.
To achieve this,
Ormazabal
counts on the
CIT
, its Research
and Technology Centre, which represents an essential
instrument in R&D, in order to capture and improve existing
technologies and carry out research into new ones.
The
CIT
facilities offer services to the science and technology
sector in order to carry out research, development and type
tests both for
Ormazabal
's business unit products and also
for the rest of the electricity sector.
The
CIT
is made up mainly of:
1. HPL:
Electrotechnical power laboratory, with the goal
of identifying, acquiring and disseminating process
technologies and strategic products within
Ormazabal
.
2. UDEX:
Demonstration and experimentation unit
consisting of a fully configurable, independent
medium-voltage singular experimentation network to
allow tests for new technologies, products and services
to be developed and carried out in a safe, controlled
environment.
