4.11 Exercise 11
– Phase (switch) failure
This practical example will reproduce an event where two phases are interchanged
during switching power feeding form one transformer to another. During such an event
excessive current inrush can occur, which could cause feeder tripping.

Figure 4-90: Phase switch
In order to simulate such an event, please set the switch S10 in the Application Trainer
to ON as shown in the table below. The remaining switches should be set to OFF. The
Application Trainer will switch between phases L2 and L3 every 10 seconds.

In practice we usually don’t know where the problem is; therefore we recommend to
start observing voltage, current and THD. This can be done by entering the U,I,f MENU
in the MEASUREMENT MENU, as shown below.
