V-Protection Module – Voltage Protection [27/59]
Commissioning: Overvoltage Protection [59]
Object to be tested
Test of the overvoltage protection elements, 3 x single-phase and 1 x three-phase (for each element)
Through testing the overvoltage protection stages, it can also be ensured
that the wiring from the switchboard input terminals is correct. Wiring
errors at the voltage measuring inputs might result in:
•
False tripping of the directional current protection
Example: Device suddenly trips in reverse direction but it
does not trip in forward direction.
•
Wrong or no power factor indication
•
Errors with regard to power directions etc.
Necessary means
•
3-phase AC voltage source
•
Timer for measuring of the tripping time
•
Voltmeter
Procedure (3 x single-phase, 1 x three-phase, for each element)
Testing the threshold values
For testing the threshold values and fallback values, the test voltage has to be increased until the relay is
activated. When comparing the displayed values with those of the voltmeter, the deviation must be within the
permissible tolerances.
Testing the trip delay
For testing the trip delay, a timer is to be connected to the contact of the associated trip relay.
The timer is started when the limiting value of the tripping voltage is exceeded and it is stopped when the relay
trips.
Testing the fallback ratio
Reduce the measuring quantity to less than 97% of the trip value. The relay must only fall back at 97% of the trip
value at the earliest.
Successful test result
The measured threshold values, trip delays and fallback ratios comply with those specified in the adjustment list.
Permissible deviations/tolerances can be taken from the Technical Data.
