Externally Triggered Event Report
Recall from
Section 3: Communications
that the relay records an eleven-cycle event report
when you issue the TRIGGER command. This command does not affect the protective functions
of the relay. The event type listing "TRIG" signifies an event triggered on command. Use the
TRIGGER command to generate an event report for plotting voltage and current phasors during
normal load conditions prior to releasing the relay for service.
Example Event Report 1 shows the first cycle of an event report triggered under normal oper-
ating conditions for a 21.6 kV distribution feeder. The report was generated with the TRIGGER
command. In this excerpt, you can immediately see that load currents are balanced by the lack of
significant current in the residual current column IR. Also, note that the line breaker is closed, as
signified by a "B" in the column labeled In: 5 & 6 (IN5 = 52A).
Event report data for the voltages and currents appears in rectangular format. You can easily
convert these rectangular values to polar format as described in Interpreting Voltage and Current
Data in this section. Section 6: INSTALLATION includes a blank voltage and current polarity
check form for plotting voltage and current phasors. A direction and polarity check form
completed using the first two rows of data from the event report appears on the following page.
Using the voltage and current phasor diagrams on the bottom of the SEL Direction and Polarity
Check Form, note that the current phase rotation is ABC in the counterclockwise direction. This
phase rotation must match that of your system. In addition, note that load is flowing out to the
feeder as indicated by each phase current lagging the respective phase voltage by the load flow
angle.
