7SG18 Solkor N Commissioning 1 Required Test Equipment • 500V Insulation resistance test set. • Variable single or three phase secondary injection current source rated at greater than 10A. The amplitude must be adjustable. • Time interval meter. • Primary injection equipment up to circuit rating.
7SG18 Solkor N Commissioning Connect together all of the C.T. terminals and measure the insulation resistance between these terminals and all of the other relay terminals connected together and to earth. Connect together the terminals of the DC auxiliary supply circuit and measure the insulation resistance between these terminals and all of the other relay terminals connected together and to earth.
7SG18 Solkor N Commissioning The stability of the differential protection system can only be checked when primary load current is applied, refer to item 6.3 below. Loop Test Mode A single relay can be tested on its own in this mode. To select this mode, press the [Down] arrow button on the relay until the PROTECTION SIGNALLING MENU appears, and select the Signal Test Mode to LOOP TEST using [ENTER] and [UP]/[DOWN] arrow keys.
7SG18 Solkor N Commissioning Check that all pick-up current levels are measured within 105% ± 4% of the applied setting. Check that the reset levels are ≥95% of the measured pick-up value. Note: Depending upon the applied settings a trip could occur if the current is on for longer than the relay operating time.
7SG18 Solkor N Commissioning The CBF feature works by looking at the reset of the protection element(s) that have operated, allocated fault triggers to distinguish between alarm and trip outputs and an optional level detector on each of the relay poles.
7SG18 Solkor N Commissioning 6.1.7 Output Relays All relay models have seven output relays, three of which have change-over contacts; the remaining four have normally open contacts. Each contact can be tested individually by the trip test feature or they can be checked during commissioning by testing the feature to which they are assigned.
7SG18 Solkor N Commissioning With the relays connected normally and load current flowing the relay should be stable and minimum differential current displayed on the instruments. Reversing the CT connections will cause the relays to become unstable and they will issue a trip signal. High levels of differential current can be observed on the instruments.
7SG18 Solkor N Commissioning Waveform storage can be triggered either by the trip initiation (i.e. Test No 1) or by energising a status input which has been programmed to trigger a waveform record (i.e. Test No 2). These records can be used as part of the protection commissioning report for the relay under test.
