“OPEN” and 

discharged

Figure 57. Check that each pole-unit position indicator shows “OPEN” 

and discharged. 

Step 50

To initiate a trip operation, inject secondary 
current into the relay. Refer to the relay manu-
facturer’s instructions.

Step 51

Verify that the pole-units operated properly. 
Check that each pole-unit position indicator 
shows “OPEN” and discharged. See Figure 57.

Step 52

To initiate a trip operation, inject secondary 
current into the relay. Refer to the relay manu-
facturer’s instructions.

To check operation of the trip-energy supply, 

inject single-phase secondary current above  
600 mA, but 

below

 the pick-up setting of 

the relays, into the trip-energy supply, with  
600 mA input current the trip-energy supply 
will charge in approximately 3 seconds. Use a 
user-furnished secondary current-injection kit 
as follows:
a. 

If an optional test switch is furnished,

 

remove the test-switch cover and inject sec-
ondary current in accordance with stan dard 
operating procedure. See Figure 58.

b. 

If the optional test switch is not fur-
nished,

 use the CT shorting blocks in the 

control cabinet to inject secondary current. 
Use the furnished pins to short the CTs, then 
inject secondary current, in accor dance  
with standard operating procedures. See 
Figure 59.

Control Cabinet Set-Up

Figure 58. Remove the test-switch cover and inject secondary current, in 

accordance with standard procedure.
