A complete test of the system can be accomplished with the connection of a resistive fault between one of the three

lines and ground at a location downstream of one of the feeder current sensors. This simple test will identify the integ-

rity of sensor, feeder module circuits, connections, communications, system module operation, DDR2 resistor OHM-

NI-PM resistor and pulsing without causing a trip to occur on any of the breakers. The only thing it will not test is the

priority of the double-fault trip process. For this two such resistors would be required, with resistor value low enough to

provide more than the 100A trip current required for the selective second ground fault tripping.

DANGER

Never use a piece of wire to create a test fault. It is possible that the protection may not be operational due to mis-

wiring or other problems and cannot clear the fault current resulting in a serious arcing situation which may severely

damage the equipment and cause injury or death.

Secondary injection testing is possible using low current sources to test the feeder modules. It is recommended to use

currents of 1/1000 of the expected circuit current through the zero sequence current sensor. Because there are inter-

locking signals from the system module that prevent feeder module trip and indication, then it is necessary to either

apply a voltage to the N-G terminals of the system module, or simply pull one of the DDR2 fuses to drive the system

module into the alarm condition thus enabling the feeder modules to provide indication and digital trip functionality.

Note: Should the injection current induced during this procedure exceed 100mA then the feeder module will trip on the

analog backup circuit without any indication at all.

Service

I-Gard offers comprehensive training, commissioning and inspection assistance by qualified engineers. For assis

tance with installation, set-up or testing, please call I-Gard toll free at 1-888-737-4787 (1-888-RESISTR). There are no

user-serviceable parts in the DSP, therefore all service should be referred to qualified factory representatives, other

than direct replacement of entire modules to I-Gard. Please visit the I-Gard website at www.i-gard.com for information

regarding field service representatives in your area.

Note: Please ensure that proper authorization is obtained from I-Gard before returning any equipment.

8. COMMUNICATIONS

Installation

To allow communications to a remote terminal or network, a 4-wire RS-485 communications jack and Ethernet con

nector are provided at the side of the DSP-TDM display module. The 5-pin connector supplied has screw terminals

and allows disconnection without breaking the RS-485 daisy chain. A ground connection is supplied for grounding the

shield of the 4-wire cable. The protocol supported is MODBUS RTU. The baud rate can be changed in the DSP-TDM

set-up from 9600 to 256000 as desired. The frame set-up is 5 to 8 bit, parity NONE, EVEN, ODD, MARK or SPACE

and 1, 1.5 or 2 stop bits. The I/D number for the DSP-TDM must be entered in the set-up within the range of 1 to 255.

Cable should be standard 4-wire with two twisted-pairs and a grounding shield for electro-magnetic coupling protec-

tion. The shield of the cable between nodes should not be continuously grounded, but each section of cable should

be grounded at GND pin of J3. When installing cable, avoid star connections and make connections flow from node to

node. Cable length of 1-2 kilometers or more should be easily accommodated.

should be disconnected prior to removing covers or enclosures and where live conductors may otherwise be exposed.

Failure to observe these precautions may result in death or severe personal injury and damage to equipment. Before

placing an intentional ground fault on the power system, check that a fault does not already exist. Any test ground fault

equipment must be rated for full system voltage and be fused for protection.
