Trip Circuit Supervision
The 7SD5 line protection is equipped with an integrated trip circuit supervision. Depending on the number of
available binary inputs (not connected to a common potential), supervision with one or two binary inputs can
be selected. If the routing of the required binary inputs does not comply with the selected monitoring mode, an
alarm is given („TripC1 ProgFAIL ...“, with identification of the non-compliant circuit). When using two binary
inputs, malfunctions in the trip circuit can be detected under all circuit breaker conditions. When only one binary
input is used, malfunctions in the circuit breaker itself cannot be detected. If single-pole tripping is possible, a
separate trip circuit monitoring can be implemented for each circuit breaker pole provided that the required
binary inputs are available.
2.24.2.1 Functional Description
Supervision with Two Binary Inputs
When using two binary inputs, these are connected according to Figure 2-214 parallel to the associated trip
contact on one side, and parallel to the circuit breaker auxiliary contacts on the other.
A precondition for the use of the trip circuit supervision is that the control voltage for the circuit breaker is higher
than the total of the minimum voltages drops at the two binary inputs (U
Ctrl
> 2·U
BImin
). Since at least 19 V are
needed for each binary input, the supervision function can only be used with a system control voltage of over
38 V.
