Informational and Settings Screens
Functional Test
The lower section of the Functional Test screen is where the functional tests are per-
formed. This section also monitors two additional pieces of information useful to the
functional test. See Figure 133.
Figure 133. The Functional Test command area.
Simulation Status. This eld displays control status relevant to the functional test.
The following can be displayed:
• Idle: The TripSaver II recloser is functioning normally and is in the Idle state.
• Charging Caps: This indicates the main power supply capacitors inside the
TripSaver II recloser are charging. When this message is present, the blue “Main Caps
Charge” bar at the bottom of the screen can be observed lengthening.
• Waiting to Reclose: This indicates the vacuum interrupter contacts are waiting to
close.
• Waiting to Drop-open: This indicates the TripSaver II recloser is waiting to drop open.
Sequence Step. This field indicates which trip or test operation the connected
TripSaver II recloser will use for the next fault simulation. TCC0: Initial Trip; TCC1:
Test 1; TCC2: Test 2; TCC3: Test 3. This number will reset to TCC0 when 1) no
additional temporary fault simulation commands are given before the sequence reset timer
expires or 2) at the end of a permanent fault simulation.
Simulate Temporary Fault. Click on the green Simulate Temporary Fault button
to simulate a temporary fault.
