Contact travel time calculation
The contact travel time of the breaker is calculated from the time between the state of
change of auxiliary contacts. The opening travel time is measured between the
opening of the
POSCLOSE
and closing of the
POSOPEN
auxiliary contacts. Similarly,
the closing travel time is measured between the opening of the
POSOPEN
and closing
of the
POSCLOSE
auxiliary contacts. A compensation factor has been added to
consider the time difference between auxiliary contact operation and the actual
physical opening of the breaker main contact.

Travel time calculation
There is a time difference t1 between the start of the main contact opening and the
opening of the
POSCLOSE
auxiliary contact. Similarly, there is a time difference t2
between the time when the
POSOPEN
auxiliary contact opens and the main contact is
completely open. Therefore, a correction factor needs to be added to get the actual
opening time. This factor is added with the
OpenTimeCorr
(t1+t2) setting. The closing
