 SIPROTEC RELAY TESTING PROCEDURE

1.Reach checking:

a). In this relay the parallel compensation is calculated from Externally so you must
check the setting I4 connection : neutral current of the protected line. Suppose the
parallel compensation is available means ensure it is shorted.

b). For reach checking just make the RIO file from setting using DIGSI software. Go to
setting group-A General protection menu and click graph save it some location.

c).In Omicron distance or Advance distance do the test as per same procedure of Micom
P442 relay.
Note: whenever you are testing the relay you must always Import the relay setting from
relay and converted to RIO file otherwise the operation of relay will be differ.

2.Power Swing Block:

The best way for checking the PSB in this relay Ramping OK. The standard ramping file
I attached here it will be useful for testing the PSB.

SOTF check:

3
 Energise the manual closing Binary Input from T N C switch. The same time
create the fault using Quick CMC .For testing purpose rise the Manual closure seal in
time -2 sec.
I set Current : 2.5A

b).SOTF check

secondary (normal practice).

Additional comments:

For Single pole Autoreclose 1 pole permissive trip opto should be select. The AR
