Figure 28. Schematic diagram representing the connections of the 3 current generators of SVERKER 900 to 
WIP-1 and the operate contact. Also the connection diagram of WIP-1 is shown (from the WIP-

1 user’s manual 

[4], Copyright SEG GmbH). 

6.2.3. SVERKER 900 settings. 

For testing the phase overcurrent protection function the instrument MTT [12] of pre-fault and fault and the 
possibility to draw graphs of time curves is used

13

 [13].  

Figure 29 

shows an extract of the SVERKER 900 user’s manual where the functionality of MTT in pre-fault and 

fault instrument is described. 

                                                           

13 Note that not all SVERKER 900 are equipped with this functionality, please contact Megger for details.
