Relay testing and  

 commissioning 

 
The test instructions following below help to verify the 
protection relay performance before or during commis-
sioning of the protection system. To avoid a relay 
damage and to ensure a correct relay operation, be 
sure that: 

• 

the auxiliary power supply rating corresponds to the 
auxiliary voltage on site. 

• 

the rated current and rated voltage of the relay cor-
respond to the plant data on site. 

• 

the current transformer circuits and voltage trans-
former circuits are connected to the relay correctly. 

• 

all signal circuits and output relay circuits are con-
nected correctly. 

 
 

6.1   Power-On 

 

NOTE!

  

Prior to switch on the auxiliary power supply, be sure 
that the auxiliary supply voltage corresponds with the 
rated data on the type plate. 
 
Switch on the auxiliary power supply to the relay and 
check that the message "ISEG" appears on the display 
and the self supervision alarm relay (watchdog) is en-
ergised (Contact terminals D7 and E7 closed). 
 
 

6.2    Testing the output relays and LEDs 

 

NOTE!

 

Prior to commencing this test, interrupt the trip circuit to 
the circuit breaker if tripping is not desired. 
By pressing the push button <TRIP> once, the display 
shows the first part of the software version of the relay 
(e.g. „D08-“). By pressing the push button <TRIP> 
twice, the display shows the second part of the soft-
ware version of the relay (e.g. „4.01“). The software 
version should be quoted in all correspondence. Press-
ing the <TRIP> button once more, the display shows 
"PSW?". Please enter the correct password to proceed 
with the test. The message "TRI?" will follow. Confirm 
this message by pressing the push button <TRIP> 
again. All output relays and LEDs should then be acti-
vated and the self supervision alarm relay (watchdog) 
be deactivated one after another with a time interval 
of  
3 second. Thereafter, reset all output relays back to their 
normal positions by pressing the push button 
<SELECT/RESET> (about 3 s). 
 

6.3    Checking the set values 

 
 

By repeatedly pressing the push button <SELECT>, all 
relay set values may be checked. Set value modifica-
tion can be done with the push button <+><-> and 
<ENTER>. For detailed information about that, please 
refer to chapter 5. 
For a correct relay operation, be sure that the fre-
quency set value (f=50/60) has been selected ac-
cording to your system frequency (50 or 60 Hz). 
 
 

6.4    Secondary injection test 

 

6.4.1  

Test equipment 

 

• 

Voltmeter, Ammeter with class 1 or better 

• 

Auxiliary power supply with the voltage correspond-
ing to the rated data on the type plate 

•

0 to 

 4 x In) 

• 

Three-phase voltage supply unit (adjustable from 0 to 

 1.2 x Un)  

• 

Timer to measure the operating time  
(Accuracy class 

 

±

10 ms) 

• 

Switching device 

• 

Test leads and tools
