Circuit-Breaker Test
The Circuit-breaker test function enables you to easily perform a complete test of the trip circuit, the closing
circuit, and the circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker can be opened for 1-poles, you can perform the test sepa-
rately for each circuit-breaker pole.
The circuit-breaker test carries out an automatic open-closed cycle or an open-only cycle of the circuit breaker
during operation. In addition, you can take a current-flow criterion into consideration for the test. The current-
flow criterion causes the circuit-breaker test to be executed only if the current flow through the circuit breaker
is below the parameterizable threshold value.

If the circuit-breaker auxiliary contacts are not connected, a circuit breaker that has been opened may be
permanently closed.
The following test programs are available for you to carry out the circuit-breaker test. 1-pole tests are only
possible if the respective circuit breaker is capable of being opened on 1 pole.
