GE 850 - Breakers

5–70 850 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
SYSTEM CHAPTER 5: DEVICE, SYSTEM, INPUT AND OUTPUT SETPOINTS
Breakers
Breaker detection ON is performed on the 850 relay by monitoring the state/states of
either one, or preferably two, contact inputs. It is highly recommended to monitor the
status of the feeder breaker using both breaker auxiliary contacts 52a, and 52b. However
using only one of them is also acceptable. The 850-E
and 850-D single feeder relays have
one controllable breaker. The 850-D dual feeder and 850-P relays have two controllable
breakers.
The breaker connection/disconnection to/from the power system (racked-out by the
breaker racking mechanism, or isolated by the associated disconnect switches on a fixed
circuit breaker) is provided by monitoring the contact input “BKR CONNECTED”. If the
contact input selected under the “BKR CONNECTED” setpoint is asserted, the breaker is
considered connected to the primary system. When the breaker is determined
disconnected, the breaker state is shown to be neither open, nor closed.
