The timer element of a reverse power relay cannot be energized unless what condition is met?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Reverse power relay purpose (protecting generators from motoring) • How a reverse power relay senses direction of power flow • Relationship between tripping direction and actual power flow

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In normal operation, is power flowing from the bus to the generator, or from the generator to the bus? How does that change in a reverse power condition? • Which option describes the condition that must exist before the relay’s timing mechanism is allowed to start counting down toward a trip? • Think about which choice actually describes reverse power and not normal (forward) power or just a construction detail of the relay.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices describe direction of power flow, and which are unrelated details. • Confirm which direction of power flow a reverse power relay is specifically designed to respond to before it will time out and trip. • Eliminate any choice that talks about mechanical parts (like magnets and disks) but doesn’t clearly tie to reverse power direction.

Question 1 of 27070

The timer element of a reverse power relay cannot be energized unless what condition is met?

the power flow is the same as the tripping direction

one generator is fully motorized

the movement of the disk is damped by a permanent magnet

the power flow is the opposite to the tripping direction
