Maintenance
This chapter outlines maintenance of the hardware and software.
The MM200 requires minimal maintenance. As a microprocessor-based relay, its
characteristics do not change over time. The expected service life of an MM200 is 20 years
when the environment and electrical conditions are within stated specifications.
While the MM200 performs continual self-tests, it is recommended that maintenance be
scheduled with other system maintenance. This maintenance can involve in-service, out-
of-service, or unscheduled maintenance.
1.
Visual verification of the analog values integrity, such as voltage and current (in
comparison to other devices on the corresponding system).
2.
Visual verification of active alarms, relay display messages, and LED indications.
3.
Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, dust, or loose wires.
1.
Check wiring connections for firmness.
2.
Analog values (currents, voltages, RTDs, analog inputs) injection test and metering
accuracy verification. Calibrated test equipment is required.
3.
Protection elements setting verification (analog values injection or visual verification
of setting file entries against relay settings schedule).
4.
Contact inputs and outputs verification. This test can be conducted by direct change
of state forcing or as part of the system functional testing.
5.
Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, or dust.
To avoid deterioration of electrolytic capacitors, power up units that are stored in a de-
energized state once per year, for one hour continuously.
