Inactive timer
The Inactive timer module calculates the number of days the circuit breaker has remained in the
same open or closed state. The value is calculated by monitoring the states of the POSOPEN and
POSCLOSE auxiliary contacts.
The number of inactive days INADAYS is available as a service value. The initial number of inactive
days is set using the
InitInactDays
parameter.
Alarm limit check
MONALM is initiated when the number of inactive days and hours exceed the limit value defined by
the
InactiveAlDays
and
InactivAlHrs
setting. The alarm signal MONALM can be blocked by activating
the binary input BLKALM.

Spring charging time measurement
The binary input SPRCHRST indicates the pickup of circuit breaker spring charging time. SPRCHRD
indicates that the circuit breaker spring is charged. The spring charging time is calculated from
the difference of these two signal timings. Spring charging indication is described in Figure
553.
The last measured spring charging time SPCHT is provided as a service value. The spring charging
time SPCHT can be reset on the LHMI or by activating the input RSTSPCHT.
