Breaker Monitor Output
When the breaker maintenance curve for a particular phase (A, B, or C) reaches the 100 percent
wear level (see Figure 8.7), a corresponding Relay Word bit (BCWA, BCWB, or BCWC)
asserts.
Relay Word Bits Definition
BCWA
Phase A breaker contact wear has reached the 100 percent wear level
BCWB
Phase B breaker contact wear has reached the 100 percent wear level
BCWC
Phase C breaker contact wear has reached the 100 percent wear level
BCW
BCWA + BCWB + BCWC
Example Applications
These logic outputs can be used to alarm:
OUT105 = BCW
View or Reset Breaker Monitor Information
Accumulated breaker wear/operations data is retained if the relay loses power or the breaker
monitor is disabled (setting EBMON = N). The accumulated data can only be reset if the
BRE R
command is executed (see the following discussion on the
BRE R
command).
Via Serial Port
See
BRE Command (Breaker Monitor Data)
in
Section 10: Line Current Differential
Communications and Serial Port Communications and Commands
. The
BRE
command
displays the following information:
v
Accumulated number of relay-initiated trips
v
Accumulated interrupted current from relay-initiated trips
v
Accumulated number of externally initiated trips
v
Accumulated interrupted current from externally initiated trips
v
Percent circuit breaker contact wear for each phase
v
Date when the preceding items were last reset (via the
BRE R
command)
See
BRE n Command (Preload/Reset Breaker Wear)
in
Section 10: Line Current Differential
Communications and Serial Port Communications and Commands
. The
BRE W
command
allows the percent breaker wear to be preloaded for each individual phase.
The
BRE R
command resets the accumulated values and the percent wear for all three phases.
For example, if breaker contact wear has reached the 100 percent wear level for A-phase, the
corresponding Relay Word bit BCWA asserts (BCWA = logical 1). Execution of the
BRE R
command resets the wear levels for all three phases back to 0 percent and consequently causes
Relay Word bit BCWA to deassert (BCWA = logical 0).
