when the breaker is closed and opens when the breaker is open.
a Output
A relay control output that closes when the output relay asserts.
b Contact
A breaker auxiliary contact (ANSI Standard Device Number 52B) that opens
when the breaker is closed and closes when the breaker is open.
b Output
A relay control output that opens when the output relay asserts.
c Contact
A breaker auxiliary contact that can be set to serve either as an a contact or as a b
contact.

An output with both an a output and b output sharing a common post.
3U, 4U, 5U, 6U, 7U, 9U
The designation of the vertical height of a device in rack units. One rack unit, U,
is approximately 1.75 inches or 44.45 mm.
A
Abbreviation for amps or amperes—a unit of electrical current flow.
ABS Operator
An operator in math SELOGIC control equations that provides absolute value.
AC Ripple
The peak-to-peak ac component of a signal or waveform. In the station dc battery
system, monitoring ac ripple provides an indication of whether the substation
battery charger has failed.
Acceptance Testing
Testing that confirms that the relay meets published critical performance
specifications and requirements of the intended application. Such testing involves
testing protection elements and logic functions when qualifying a relay model for
use on the utility system.
Access Level
A relay command level with a specified set of relay information and commands.
Except for Access Level 0, you must have the correct password to enter an access
level.
Access Level 0
The least secure and most limited access level. No password protects this level.
From this level, you must enter a password to go to a higher level.
Access Level 1
A relay command level you use to monitor (view) relay information. The default
access level for the relay front panel.
Access Level 2
The most secure access level where you have total relay functionality and control
of all settings types.
Access Level A
A relay command level you use to access all Access Level 1 and Access Level B
(Breaker) functions plus Automation, Alias, Global, Front Panel, Report, Port,
and DNP3 settings.
Access Level B
A relay command level you use for Access Level 1 functions plus circuit breaker
control and data.
Access Level O
A relay command level you use to access all Access Level 1 and Access Level B
