With the Use current-flow criterion parameter, you can also specify that a circuit-breaker test is only
executed if the current flowing through the circuit breaker does not exceed a specific current threshold
(Current threshold parameter). Otherwise, the circuit-breaker test is not started.
If the current-flow criterion is disabled, the current threshold is not evaluated. Then, the circuit-breaker
²
test is performed independent of the magnitude of current flowing through the circuit breaker.

The circuit-breaker test does not perform a synchrocheck even if the synchrocheck has been configured in
the protection-function groups for circuit breakers. This may cause stability problems in the system during a
3-pole interruption. Therefore, a 3-pole circuit-breaker test should be very short, or not performed at all
under load.
You can start the test program as follows:
•
Via the device-control panel
•
Via DIGSI
•
Via communication protocols
•
Via control commands, which you can also connect in the CFC
The following figure illustrates operation of the circuit-breaker test in DIGSI.
