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.
