EDR-5000 IM02602007E
Commissioning: Overcurrent Protection, Non-directional [ANSI 51V]
Object to be tested:
Signals to be measured for Voltage Restraint protection function: the threshold values, total tripping time
(recommended), or alternatively tripping delays and the dropout ratios; each time 3 x single-phase and 1 x three-phase.
It is recommended to measure the total tripping time instead of the tripping
time. The tripping delay should be specified by the customer. The total
tripping time is measured at the position signaling contacts of the breakers
(not at the relay output!).
Total tripping time: = tripping delay (please refer to the tolerances of the
protection stages) + breaker operating time (about 50
ms)
Please take the breaker switching times from the technical data, specified
in the relevant documentation, provided by the breaker manufacturer.
Necessary means:
Current source;
Voltage Source;
Current and Voltage meters; and
Timer.
Procedure:
Testing the threshold values
(3 x single-phase and 1 x three-phase)
Feed %Pickup voltage. For each test performed, feed a current that is about 3-5% above the threshold value for
activation/tripping. Then check if the pickup values are %Pickup of the value according to the standard overcurrent
protection.
Testing the total tripping delay (recommendation)
Measure the total tripping times at the auxiliary contacts of the breakers (breaker tripping).
Testing the tripping delay (measuring at the relay output contact)
Measure the tripping times at the relay output contact.
Testing the dropout ratio
Reduce the current to 97% below the trip value and check the dropout ratio.
Successful test result
The measured total tripping delays or individual tripping delays, threshold values, and dropout ratios correspond with
those values specified in the adjustment list. Permissible deviations/tolerances can be found under Technical Data.
