10.12
Circuit-Breaker Wear Monitoring
Overview of Functions
10.12.1
The Circuit-breaker wear monitoring function:
•
Records the wear of circuit breakers
•
Allows maintenance intervals of the CB poles to be carried out when their actual degree of wear makes it
necessary
•
Sends a warning signal when the wear of a circuit breaker reaches a specified degree
•
Allows the supervision of the circuit-breaker make time
Savings on maintenance and servicing costs is one of the main benefits this functionality offers.
10.12.2
Structure of the Function
The Circuit-breaker wear monitoring function can be used in the Circuit-breaker function group.
The function offers 4 independent operating stages with different measuring methods:
•
ΣI
x
-method stage
Sum of tripping current powers
•
2P-method stage
2 points method for calculating the remaining switching cycles
•
I
2
t-method stage
Sum of all squared fault-current integrals
•
Supv.CB make time stage
Supervision of the circuit-breaker make time
The function is preconfigured by the manufacturer with 1 ΣI
stage, 1 2P-method stage, 1 I
ously within this function.
The general functionality is available across stages and provides a uniform start criterion for the stages.
