3 - Measurements
Introduction Measurements The Ekip DIP release records various items of information, useful for analysis and consultation:
Instantaneous currents The following table summarises the measurements of the instantaneous currents:
Maximum and minimum
currents
45 | © 2013 ABB | 1SDH001000R0002 - L7804
• Instantaneous measurements of phase currents.
• Measurement of the maximum and minimum currents recorded with an adjustable interval.
• Trip Log.
• List of events, changes of state and alarms recorded by the release
• Contact wear value.
• Number of mechanical and electrical operations.
NOTE: all the information is available with Ekip T&P and Ekip Bluetooth modules and
with the Ekip Connect software. The Instantaneous measurements are also available
with the Ekip Multimeter switchgear unit.
Type of Measurement
Phase currents (I1, I2, I3, INe)
NOTE: the precisions specified in the table refer to the range of normal operation
The release is able to record the maximum and minimum current, measured inside an interval
that can be programmed by the user.
Every measurement recorded is accompanied by the following information:
• Recording interval.
• Phase and value of maximum and minimum current measured.
• Date and time of the recording (referring to the internal clock).
NOTE: in the case of the minimum current, if the value drops below the 0.03 In
threshold, it will be recorded and represented by the symbol "..." in the measurement
field.
Trips The release is able to record the last 30 openings of the circuit-breaker (trips) caused by
protection trips.
The trips include useful information relating to each trip:
• The protection that caused the trip.
• The progressive number of the trip.
• The date and time of the opening (referring to the internal clock).
• The measurements associated to the trip protection.
