Settings for the
voltage-check
function
The voltage-check function is required when a
disconnected bus/line is to be connected to an
energized section of a network. By means of the
threshold voltages U

chro-check module, the threshold values for an
energized or non-energized bus/line are set. Fur-
thermore, the energizing direction is supervised
by the voltage-check function. The energizing

Fig. 3. Influence of voltage-check conditions on the delivering of a closing signal.
When the voltage-check conditions are fulfilled,
they have to persist continuously for a pre-set
operate time (dead time), before the releasing
of a final closing signal is permitted. Thus, it is
assured that the non-energized time of the net-
work is long enough for releasing a closing sig-
- The threshold voltage U
measured bus/line network voltage must be
before the network is considered to be ener-
gized. The set threshold voltage value is the
same for the voltage-check function of both
stages. The set threshold value applies to the
synchro-check function as well.
- The threshold value U
measured bus/line network voltage must be
before the network is considered to be non-
energized. The set threshold voltage value is
the same for the voltage-check function of
both stages.
Note!
Because the setting ranges of the threshold vol-
tages U and U partly overlap each other,

direction of the module can be selected by means
of function selector switches and the settings
determine which side of the circuit breaker to
be closed shall be energized or non-energized.
For the voltage-check function the energizing
direction of each stage can be selected from four
different alternatives. The available energizing
directions are as follows:

age failures in the network sections. When the
voltage-check conditions have been fulfilled long
enough a closing signal is delivered to the cir-
cuit breaker.

tion (dead time). The set operate time applies
to the voltage-check function of both stages.
- The energizing direction is separately selected
by means of function selector switches for both
voltage-check stages. The energizing direction
of stage 1 is selected by means of switches SGF/1
and SGF/2 and the direction of stage 2 is se-
lected with switches SGF/5 and SGF/6; See
chapter "Function selector switches". For ex-
ample, when the energizing direction of stage
1 is selected to be U1→U3 (SGF/1=1, SGF/
2=0), the voltage U1 shall be higher than U
and the voltage U3 lower than U
the conditions of the energizing direction are
fulfilled.
- The voltage-check functions of the separate
stages are optional, i.e. these functions may
be activated or set out of operation by means
of function selector switches. The voltage
check function of stage 1 and stage 2 is acti-
vated or deactivated by means of switches
SGF/4 and SGF/8, respectively; See chapter
"Function selector switches".
