The circuit breaker fail protection time delays are initiated either from:
A binary output mapped as Trip Contact in the OUTPUT CONFIG>BINARY OUTPUT CONFIG menu,
or
A binary input mapped as 50BF Ext Trip in the INPUT CONFIG>INPUT MATRIX menu.
Or
A binary input mapped as 50BF Mech Trip in the INPUT CONFIG>INPUT MATRIX menu.
Apply a trip condition by injection of current to cause operation of a suitable protection element. Allow current to
continue after the trip at a level of 110% of the 50BF Setting current level on any phase. Measure the time for
operation of 50BF-1 Delay and 50BF-2 Delay. Repeat the sequence with the 50BF CB Faulty input energised and
ensure the 50BF-1 and 50BF-2 outputs operate without delay, by-passing the timer delay settings.
Repeat the sequence with current at 90% of the 50BF Setting current level after the element trip and check for no
CB Fail operation.
Repeat the sequence by injecting the current to I4 and using the 50BF-I4 Setting.
