Power Transmission and Distribution Service

Testing Protective Relays

Commissioning test Functional check (every two years, without tools) - Comparing measured values (current, voltage) - Trip test - Reading the event buffer - Verifying the protective fault message Protection test ( about every five years ) - Testing a measuring point (current, voltage) - Testing all used BIs and BOs - Interface testing

Protection Test via Test Switch

Enables easy, reliable, and quick test with currents and voltages to verify correct A/D and calculation. Interrupts the TRIP and CLOSE commands to the circuit breaker Visual- and electrical indication of test position Pre-assembled connection to the portable test set Design and connection matches all digital protection devices

Lock-Out Function
The TIRP command contact remains closed - the CB closing circuit remains open until reset It is used to: - output the TRIP command continuously - disable the CLOSE command Only upon acknowledgement is the latched command reset. Latching takes place: - in the SW of the protection device ( SIPROTEC 4) - via separated lock-out relays which are mechanically linked. Reset: electrically or hand reset

Trip-circuit Supervision
The trip circuit is monitored as to: - Presence of the control voltage - Interruption in the wiring - Interruption in the trip coil of the CB Supervision takes place: - in the protection device via BI ( advantage of self-monitoring and oscillographic record with time stamp) - with separated special monitoring relays The trip-circuit supervision is possible for phase-selective tripping and / or three-phase tripping
