12.1.5 Transient Messages
The following display messages replace the normal display for
the indicated time duration or until a pushbutton is pressed. The
messages are in response to transient conditions as described in
Table 58.
Table 58. FP-6000 Transient Messages.
12.2 Troubleshooting the Protected Circuit
The FP-6000 contains information that can be used to discover
the nature of power distribution faults which is contained in the
Event log, Trip log, History log, and waveform capture. In
addition, the FP-6000 can be useful in detecting problems with
the breaker and current and voltage transformers.
12.2.1 Event Log
The Event log contains a chronological list of events that the
FP-6000 has observed. It is similar to an operation log where all
events are recorded as they happen. This data is very useful to
see the order of events that have occurred during a fault and is
also useful for later analysis.
If a trip, or alarm LED indication is present the Event Log is useful
to explain the action behind the LED indication. Once you view
the explanation in the Event Log proceed to appropriate tables
within this section for additional information on clearing the
alarm.
The FP-6000 records 100 Event logs in a circular buffer before
writing over the oldest log. The logs are numbered with the most
recent event marked by an index of 1 to the oldest event marked
with an index of 100. As new logs are entered, the index numbers
are automatically changed to keep the newest log at index 1. The
oldest event, previously number 100, is discarded as a new event
is logged.
After pressing the “Log” pushbutton and selecting the “Event
Log” the indexed list of events are given. Each event has an index
number (the list always starts with 1), followed by a title (all
possible titles are described in Table 59), and the date that the
event occurred. The ability to log a pickup of protection functions,
the changing of input states, and the changing of a
communication driven logic variable must be enabled by
programming setpoints (see Section 5). The ability to ignore
particular types of events is given so that events that occur often
will not fill the event log.
Table 59. Possible Titles.
Each line of the event log, containing the log index, title and date,
can be selected using the single arrow pushbuttons and entered
by pressing the Enter pushbutton. The information displayed for
every event includes the title, and time the event occurred, along
with the cause of the event, and a value (see Table 60 through
Table 67 for a list of all event causes, with displayed values). This
value in many cases can be selected with the single arrow
pushbutton and pushing the Enter pushbutton to reveal a group
of status indicators that were true at the time of the event logged.
The General events pertain to the powering, programming,
triggering and resetting of the FP-6000. These events are always
logged, no programming is necessary. The General events are
shown in Table 60.
