6.4 Trip Contacts

The ISGS relay offers up to three trip contacts which are

monitored by the microprocessor. Trip contacts may be con-

figured by the user to trip the relay based on any of a number

of functions. Trip contact reaction time is about 4.5 ms.

The relay displays the options at each matrix position in the

sequence listed in the table below.

6.5 Comm Events

Protective functions are internally generated events that can

trip a relay. For the protection to function properly, the pro-

cessor interprets these events (inputs) and makes a decision.

Communication (Comm) events are externally generated

messages that can trip a relay without any interpretation.

This remote communication allows Comm events to control

outputs (contacts), such as opening a breaker; or switch

parameter sets if matrixed to a binary input. Comm events

are sent from a PC or other devices on the RS-232 or

RS-485 networks.

Comm events can be blocked (disabled) with binary inputs to

prevent remote parameterization during service periods or as

a general safety measure. Refer to the list of binary inputs in

Section 6.2.

6.6 Breaker Monitoring

To increase the security of the protective system, it is helpful

to monitor several parameters directly from the switchgear.

The ISGS relay can monitor the components such as the 52a

and the 52b switches, the traditional circuit breaker position

lamps, and the tripping voltage supply.

The 52a and 52b switches have a total of four possible posi-

tion combinations which can be decoded as illustrated in

Table 6.1. The 52a and 52b switches referred to are those

which traditionally provide indication of circuit breaker posi-

tion (52b) and trip coil continuity (52a). All error reporting can

be enabled and disabled, and the actions to be taken are

configurable.

The ISGS relay monitors:
•

breaker position

•

trip coil continuity

•

trip source impedance.

Breaker position is sensed through dedicated binary inputs

that monitor the 52a and 52b switches on the breaker mech-

anism (breaker mounted). Trip coil continuity is monitored by

continually sensing a current that flows through the trip coil.

Trip source impedance is checked using a switchable elec-

tronic load across the trip voltage supply.

Exceptions to the normal operating conditions include the

presence of push-to-test switches across either the

a-switch, b-switch, or both. A push-to-test switch across the

b-switch will produce a false indication of a breaker mecha-

nism error when the breaker is actually closed. A push-to

test switch across the a-switch (and hence across the trip

solenoid) will produce a false indication of a breaker mecha-

nism error when the breaker is actually closed.
