Trip/Close Tests for the Configured Operating Devices

3.3.14
Control by Local Command
If the configured operating devices were not switched sufficiently in the hardware test already described, all
configured switching devices must be switched on and off from the device via the integrated control element.
The feedback information of the circuit breaker position injected via binary inputs is read out at the device and
compared with the actual breaker position.
For devices with graphic display this is easy to do with the control display.
The switching procedure is described in the SIPROTEC 4 System Description. The switching authority must be
set according to the command source used. The switching mode can be selected from interlocked and nonin-
terlocked switching. Please note that non-interlocked switching can be a safety hazard.
Control by Protective Functions
For OPEN-commands sent to the circuit breaker please take into consideration that if the internal or external
automatic reclosure function is used a TRIP-CLOSE test cycle is initiated.
!
DANGER
A test cycle successfully started by the automatic reclosure function can lead to the closing of the
circuit breaker !
Non-observance of the following statement will result in death, severe personal injury or substantial
property damage.
Be fully aware that OPEN-commands sent to the circuit breaker can result in a trip-close-trip event of
²
the circuit breaker by an external reclosing device.
Control from a Remote Control Center
If the device is connected to a remote substation via a system interface, the corresponding switching tests
may also be checked from the substation. Please also take into consideration that the switching authority is
set in correspondence with the source of commands used.

Creating Oscillographic Recordings for Tests

3.3.15
General
In order to be able to test the stability of the protection during switchon procedures also, switchon trials can
also be carried out at the end. Oscillographic records obtain the maximum information about the behaviour of
the protection.
Requirements
To be able to trip an oscillographic recording, parameter Osc Fault Rec. must be configured to Enabled in
the Functional Scope. Apart from the capability of storing fault recordings via pickup of the protection func-
tion, the 7SJ80 also has the capability of initiating a measured value recording via the operator program DIGSI,
the serial interface or binary input. In the latter case, the information
to a binary input. Triggering for the oscillographic recording then occurs, for instance, via the binary input
when the protection object is energized.
Those that are externally triggered (that is, without a protective element pickup) are processed by the device
as a normal oscillographic record. For each oscillographic record a fault record is created which is given its
individual number to ensure that assignment can be made properly. However, these recordings are not
displayed in the fault indication buffer, as they are not fault events.
