Digital input Continuous
Required for short circuit detection, when the breaker is tripped
independently due to a short circuit. One input is required for each breaker.
The breaker activates this input when it detects a short circuit. The controller
then activates the
[Breaker] short circuit
alarm
.
Short circuit close attempt parameters
In exceptional circumstances
, where a short circuit input is configured, this function allows a breaker to attempt to close during a
blackout even though another breaker in the system was tripped by a short circuit. This may
only be done in systems that are
designed for this type of operation
. If you choose to attempt to close the breaker even though a short circuit input was activated,
this is your own responsibility
.
DANGER!
Closing a breaker after a short circuit is extremely risky.
Configure the parameter under
Configure > Parameters > Power management rules > Configuration # > Blackout > Short
circuit close attempts
, where # is 1 to 8.
INFO
The
Short circuit close attempts
function is only active when there is a blackout.
Parameter Range Default Notes
Set point
0 to 1 0
0 close attempts
: The power management system will not close a breaker to connect to a system
where a short circuit was detected. The breaker must first be reset and the
[Breaker] short circuit
alarm deactivated and acknowledged.
1 close attempt
:
In exceptional circumstances
, you may change this parameter to allow a breaker
to attempt to close once, even though a short circuit was detected by another breaker.
5.3.8 Breaker state outputs
You can configure outputs for the breaker state.
Inputs and outputs
Assign the breaker state outputs under
Configure > Input/output
. Select the hardware module, then select the output to configure.
The outputs are not part of the breaker configuration and are optional.
