An indication about the fault is shown as a message on the LHMI. The text Internal
Fault with an additional text message, a code, date and time, is shown to indicate the
fault type.
Different actions are taken depending on the severity of the fault. The protection relay tries
to eliminate the fault by restarting. After the fault is found to be permanent, the protection
relay stays in the internal fault mode. All other output contacts are released and locked for
the internal fault. The protection relay continues to perform internal tests during the fault
situation.
The internal fault code indicates the type of internal relay fault. When a fault appears, the
code must be recorded so that it can be reported to ABB customer service.
