timers start. The front panel LO (lockout) LED remains lit and the A3 output
contact is still asserted (A3 =
79LO
).
When the reset interval timer expires, the reclosing relay is in the reset state, the
A1 output contact asserts (A1 =
79RS
), and the A3 output contact deasserts (A3
=
79LO
). The front panel LO (lockout) LED turns off and the RS (reset) LED is
illuminated.
A1 output contact assertion stops the external timer. Compare the external timer
reading to the reset interval time setting (in this example 79RST = 1800 cycles).
Reclosing Relay Open Interval Timer Test
Purpose:
Verify the reclosing relay open interval timer accuracy.
Method:
1. Enter the settings in
Reclosing Relay Tests Setup
if you haven't already.
In this example there are only three set open interval times:
79OI1 = 60
open interval times (cycles)
79OI2 = 600
79OI3 = 900
79OI4 = 0
no fourth open interval
2. Execute the CLOSE Command or energize the IN4 input (IN4 = DC; direct
close) to cause the relay to assert the CLOSE output contact. With the circuit
breaker simulator closed, IN5 is energized (IN5 = 52A) and the front panel RS
(reset) LED illuminates after the reset interval timer expires (79RST = 1800
cycles). The A1 output contact asserts (A1 =
79RS
).
3. If you just performed the preceding
Reclosing Relay Reset Interval Timer Test
:
The circuit breaker simulator is already closed and the reclosing relay is in
the reset state. The front panel RS (reset) LED is illuminated and the A1
output contact is asserted (A1 =
79RS
).
Detach the connections to the external timer and reset the timer.
4. Connect the circuit breaker simulator output and a relay TRIP output contact to
an external timer so that when the simulator output
and
relay TRIP output
contact deassert, the external timer starts. Deassertion of both outputs indicates
that the circuit breaker is open and the TRIP condition is gone. If any open
interval times remain in the reclosing cycle, the recloser open interval timer also
starts.
5. Connect the CLOSE output contact to the same external timer so it stops when
the CLOSE output contact asserts. CLOSE output contact assertion indicates
that the open interval timer has expired on a particular open interval time period
and the relay subsequently asserted the CLOSE output contact.
