7 Testing and Commissioning of IPS2
Before taking an IPS unit into operation it can be tested either in off site or installed in the station. It can be
tested with a single current source for both overcurrent and earth fault functions.
7.1 Binary I/O
Test of Binary Inputs
Apply a test voltage to the binary inputs and verify that the IPS2 unit detects the signals and transmits them
to the dispatch centre.
7.2 Current Injection Test
Test circuit
Connect the current source to phases A and B (or any other combination of two phases) according to Figure
11. Apply a current of 0.5 A. The measured sum of the phases shall now be zero. Verify with the built-in
transient fault recorder of Protrol Tool. See section below for details.

Current injection test.
Overcurrent Test
Increase the current of the current source until overcurrent is detected. This is indicated by the OC LED and
the output relay will close for the set time, if applicable. Note: If an input is used to release the output
signal this input must be set high.
Verify that the OC Start and Trip signals are transferred to the dispatch center.
