CHAPTER 7: TESTING

Additional Functional Tests
7.3.1
Overload Curve Accuracy
The specification for overload curve timing accuracy is
±
100 ms or
±
2% of time to trip.
Pickup accuracy is as per the current inputs (
±
0.5% of 2
×
CT when the injected current is
less than 2
×
CT and
±
1% of 20
×
CT when the injected current is equal to or greater than
2
×
CT). Perform the steps below to verify accuracy.

GENERATOR VOLTAGE PHASE-PHASE:
“600”
Note that setting
GENERATOR VOLTAGE PHASE-PHASE
to “600” is equivalent to setting
FLA = 1000 A. For testing purposes ONLY!

THERMAL ELEMENTS
menu, set:
THERMAL MODEL TRIP:
“Latched” or “Unlatched”
Any trip must be reset prior to each test. Short the emergency restart terminals
momentarily immediately prior to each overload curve test to ensure that the thermal
capacity used is zero. Failure to do so will result in shorter trip times. Inject the current of
the proper amplitude to obtain the values as shown and verify the trip times. Motor load
may be viewed in the
A2 METERING DATA
Z
CURRENT METERING
menu.
The thermal capacity used and estimated time to trip may be viewed in the
