Breaker Operate Time Monitoring
The breaker operate time monitor tracks the time from when a trip output occurs (defined by the Trip logic
expression) to when the fast current detector observes that current is zero in all three breaker poles. This
time is reported as a line in the fault summary reports. See the
Fault Reporting chapter for more
information about the Trip logic expression and fault summary reports.
Breaker operate time can be monitored to give an alarm when the value exceeds a threshold. Breaker
Alarms provides more information about this feature.
Breaker Alarms
Three alarm points are included in the programmable alarms for checking breaker monitoring functions.
Each alarm point can be programmed to monitor any of the three breaker monitoring functions, operations
counter, interruption duty, or clearing time. An alarm threshold can be programmed to monitor each
function. Alternately, three different thresholds can be programmed to monitor one of the monitored
functions.
