Using the SVERKER 900

Ramping instrument for
testing
Start criteria
Set the start criteria according to system voltage, fre-
quency and phase rotation.
In the example below a prefault time is set before
moving to the faulty state.

Low level trip

Stop criteria
High level trip
Set the stop criteria high enough to give the delay
function enough time to be activated, see example 2] Press button and then to

If the start for low / high level trip is not
activated before the stop criteria has been
reached, increase the ramping speed with
0.01 Hz/s and initiate a new ramp test.
3] Repeat until the start for low / high level trip
from protection is obtained.

Step 1: Check the start of low and

high level trip
1] Set the ramping speed for SVERKER 900 just
above the start for low / high level trip.

Step 2: Check trip time delay of

low and high level operation
1] To get a god value for the delay time set
the ramping speed 10-20% higher than the
low / high level trip.
