TRIP COUNTER
When enabled, a trip counter alarm will occur when the
TRIP COUNTER ALARM LEVEL
is
reached. The trip counter must be cleared or the alarm level raised and the reset key must
be pressed (if the alarm was latched) to reset the alarm.
For example, it might be useful to set a Trip Counter alarm at 100 trips, prompting the
operator or supervisor to investigate the type of trips that have occurred. A breakdown of
trips by type may be found in the
A4 MAINTENANCE
ZV
TRIP COUNTERS
actual values page.
If a trend is detected, it would warrant further investigation.

BREAKER FAILURE
If the breaker failure alarm feature may be enabled as latched or unlatched. If the 1 Trip
output relay is operated and the generator current measured at any of the three output
CTs is above the level programmed for the period of time specified by the delay, a breaker
failure alarm will occur. The time delay should be slightly longer than the breaker clearing
time.
