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.
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 operation of 50BF-1 Delay and 50BF-2 Delay. Repeat the sequence with current at 90% of the 50BF
Setting current level after the element trip and check for no CB Fail operation.
