Documentation Technical Bulletin The detailed technical attributes, functional description & performance specifications for the 4M400 are described in the product Technical Bulletin. The order of precedence for product information is as follows: • Technical Bulletin • User Guide User Guide This User Guide covers all 4M400 test block versions &...
Introduction 4M400 Test blocks enable test technicians to quickly and safely isolate protection relays so that test signals may be injected and system performance verified. The 4M400 Test Block system is designed as a general-purpose isolation and test signal injection point.
Test Block System Test Block Components The 4M400 Test Block system is made up of 4 main components. • Test Block • Isolation Plug • Test Block Cover • 4M420 Test Plug 4M400 Test Block Complete 4M400 Test Block Front Cover Removed - Stage 1 Isolation 4M400 Test Block 4M420 Test Plug Isolation Plug Removed - Stage 2 Isolation...

Stage 1 Restoration – Test Block Cover Fitted Test Block Cover restoration Tighten Test Block Cover screws Complete 4M400 Test Block all circuits back in service NOTE It is imperative that the test block cover is securely fitted to the test block via the cover thumbscrews to ensure that product ingress protection levels are maintained, and the isolation insert is held in the recessed state within the test block to ensure circuit continuity.
Installation Test Block Location The purpose of the 4M400 Test Block is to provide a convenient and safe means of undertaking routine or emergency secondary injection testing of Protection and Metering schemes. The positioning of the 4M400 Test Block should ideally be on the front of the cubicle or panel and near the equipment to be tested.
Safety Section This Safety Section should be read before commencing any work on the equipment. The information in the Safety Section of the product documentation is intended to ensure that products are properly installed and handled in order to maintain them in a safe condition. It is assumed that everyone who will be associated with the equipment will be familiar with the contents of the Safety Section.
Unpacking Upon receipt inspect the outer shipping carton or pallet for obvious damage. Remove the individually packaged relays and inspect the cartons for obvious damage. To prevent the possible ingress of dirt the carton should not be opened until the relay is to be used.

Accessories Supplied With Each Relay Self threading M4 mounting screws M4 terminal screws with captured lock washers Storage & Handling If damage has been sustained a claim should immediately be made against the carrier, also inform Relay Monitoring Systems Pty Ltd and the nearest RMS agent When not required for immediate use, the relay should be returned to its original carton and stored in a clean, dry place.

Equipment Operating Conditions The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and environmental limits. Protective relays, although generally of robust construction, require careful treatment prior to installation and a wise selection of site. By observing a few simple rules the possibility of premature failure is eliminated and a high degree of performance can be expected.

Current Transformer Circuits Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high voltage produced may be lethal to personnel and could damage insulation. External Resistors Where external resistors are fitted to relays, these may present a risk of electric shock or burns, if touched.

Commissioning Commissioning Preliminaries Carefully examine the module to ensure that no damage has occurred during transit. Check that the model number and rating information are correct. Insulation The test block, and its associated wiring, may be insulation tested between: - all electrically isolated circuits - all circuits and earth An electronic or brushless insulation tester should be used, having a dc voltage not exceeding 1000V.
Functionality Testing of 4M400 Test Block with 4M420 Test Plug Item Description Complete With the Isolation Plug removed insert the 4M420 Test Plug Confirm continuity from the 4M420 test points to the secondary equipment under test Returning the 4M400 to the normal service state Item Description Complete...
Maintenance Mechanical Inspection Relay Assembly Inspect the relay for obvious signs of damage or ingress of moisture or other contamination. Relay Module Isolate the relay, remove the front cover & carefully withdraw the relay module from the case. Care must be taken to avoid subjecting the relay element to static discharge which may damage or degrade sensitive electronic components.
Relay Case Inspect the outer terminals checking insulation integrity & tightness. Inspect inside the case and use a blower to remove any dust. Inspect the inner terminals for worn, distorted or tarnished contacts and if necessary clean the contacts using a brush dipped in a suitable substance. Case outer terminals Case inner terminals Module plug in terminals...
