Monitoring
Circuit Breaker Monitor
You can program the relay to alarm when any of the above quantities exceed a
preset threshold. In addition, the relay stores a 128-event circuit breaker history
in nonvolatile memory. The circuit breaker history report includes circuit breaker
mechanical operation times, electrical operation times, interrupted currents, and
other important parameters. The alarm and reporting features help you operate
your substation safely and reliably.
Enabling the Circuit Breaker Monitor
NOTE:
Some SEL-400 series relays
do not support single-pole tripping
breakers. In these cases, the
corresponding BK
n
TYP setting is not
available and only information related
to three-pole breakers will be
available.
Enable and configure the relay circuit breaker monitor by using the settings listed
in
for each of two possible circuit breakers. Power system circuit break-
ers are either single-pole tripping or three-pole tripping circuit breakers; set the
relay for the circuit breaker type that the relay controls. For a single-pole tripping
circuit breaker, set BK1TYP := 1, and for a three-pole tripping circuit breaker, set
BK1TYP := 3. The factory default setting is BK1TYP := 1. Be sure to configure
the relay with the settings that match your circuit breakers.
NOTE:
Some SEL-400 series relays
use a BK_SEL setting to list enabled
breakers, rather than the EB
n
MON
settings shown here.
Circuit Breaker Contact Wear Monitor
The circuit breaker contact wear monitor in the relay provides information that
helps you schedule circuit breaker maintenance. This monitoring function accu-
mulates the number of close-open operations and integrates the per-phase current
during each opening operation. The relay compares this information to a pre-
defined circuit breaker maintenance curve to calculate the percent contact wear
on a per-pole basis.
