M11727-3 v9 The following sequence is expected when the IED is energized. • The green Ready LED picks up flashing instantly and the ABB logo is shown on the LCD. • After approximately 30 seconds, "Starting" is shown on the LCD.
The IED can be equipped with a test switch of type RTXP8, RTXP18 or RTXP24 or FT. The test switch and its associated test plug handles are a part of the COMBITEST or FT system of ABB, which provides secure and convenient testing of the IED.
The periodicity of all tests depends on several factors, for example the importance of the installation, environmental conditions, simple or complex equipment, static or electromechanical IEDs, and so on. The normal maintenance practices of the user should be followed. However, ABB's recommendation is as follows: Every second to third year •...
ABB protection IEDs are preferably tested by aid of components from the COMBITEST testing system or FT test systems described in information B03-9510 E. Main components are RTXP 8/18/24 test switch located to the left in each protection IED and RTXH 8/18/24 test handle, which is inserted in test switch at secondary testing.
Inspect the IED visually. • Inspect the IED visually to find any physical error causes. • If you can find some obvious physical damage, contact ABB for repair or replacement actions. Check whether the error is external or internal. •...
