2.2.1 Trip test

The trip test must be performed with the circuit-breaker closed. This test allows a circuit-breaker
trip command to be transmitted so as to check the operation of the relay opening system if
tripping is caused by an overload or short-circuit.

2.2.2 Manual test

The manual test must be performed with the circuit-breaker open.
Two different configurations are available: test with default parameters and with user parameters:
• Test with user parameters: this can be performed by setting the unit in the ELT or MAN
configuration. The protection parameters are at the user's discretion in this mode.
• Test with default parameters: this can only be performed by setting the unit in the ELT
configuration. The protection parameters are preset in this mode.
In the manual test, the tripping time of the electronic relay can be tested with the desired load
condition and allows the user to select the reference protection (e.g.: L, S...), the threshold and
time of the protection (e.g.: I1, t1, I2, t2...), the fault current (If or I-f) and the phase (e.g.: L3,
Ne...).
The  and  keys can be used to scroll the various different options available (type of
protection, time settings, thresholds and curves). Press ENTER to confirm the selection.
Use keys  and  to increase/decrease the protection parameter settings and select the
phase..
The tripping time of the relay will depend on the protection settings. The PR010/T unit displays
the tripping time and test result (OK, FAILED).
NOTE: Reading of the protection settings is automatic for some relays while entry in the manual
mode by the user is required for others.
At the end of the test, the user is aked whether a test report must be recorded. This can then be
downloaded into a PC using the dedicated SD User Interface tool.

CAUTION
When the test parameters are defined, make sure that the value of the
tripping current is higher thasn the threshold of the tested protection.

CAUTION
Make sure that the selected test current does not trip other protections
besides the one being tested: these trips will be signalled as FAILED by the
unit. This can be avoided by changing the threshold values of the
protections and the test current.

CAUTION
The test with the default configuration is available up to version 7.5
(inclusive)

2.2.3 Automatic test

The automatic test must be performed with the circuit-breaker open.
The data acquisition channels are tested for each phase (L1, L2, L3, Ne) and the main protections
of the unit are tested (e.g. trips with protections: L, S, I and G with PR212/P LSIG; L, R, I, U with
PR222MP) for each relay, regardless of its functional characteristics and version..
During the various different tests, the tripping times of the relay will depend on the protection
settings. The PR010/T unit displays the threshold and time of the protection in question, as well as
the test result (OK or FAILED).
At the end of the test, the user is aked whether a test report must be recorded. This can then be
downloaded into a PC.

2.2.4 Set/Reset Coil test

Operation of the SET and RESET outputs that control the PR212/CI unit can be tested for the MP
relay versions (PR212MP and PR222MP). Each test command transmits a status change signal to
the PR212/CI unit.

CAUTION
Before transmitting a Set/Reset test command, make sure that the PR212/CI
unit is in the opposite position, so as to check the switching function.

2.2.5 Iinst test

Operation of the Iinst protections can be tested in PR11x series relays. The PR010/T unit will
display the test result (OK or FAILED).

CAUTION
Before accessing the menu, make sure that the circuit-breaker model and
the setting of the dip switch on the upper side of the relay correspond. If
they are misaligned, an error message will be displayed by relays PR112 and
PR113, and access to the menu will be inhibited.

2.2.6 Notes about the Relays

Consider the following indications to ensure that the tests are performed correctly.

2.2.6.1 PR111 and PR111/VF

• Before any test can be performed, certain data concerning the model and size of the CB must
be entered (e.g.: E1B, 800A). The Neutral setting (50% / 100%) and the version of the unit
(LI, LSI, LSIG) must also be etered in certain cases.
• Enter the settings of the protections in the following way before performing the Automatic
test:

Protection Threshold Time

L I1= 0.4In t1= B
S I2= 3In t2= C; I2t=k
I I3= 8In --
G I4= 0.8In (IEC version) t4= B
I4= 0.4In (UL version)

NOTE: the PR111/VF relay does not control protections S, G and Iinst. This means that the
setting of the G protection must not be considered for automatic test configuration.
• The maximum trip time tolerance is 35% for the G function.
• The minimum threshold in the Manual Test configuration is 0.6In for the G function.

2.2.6.2 PR112
• PR010/T unit compatible with all PR112 relays in the IEC version with key, 2.20 SW version
or more recent and serial number after xxxxxx03x (for PR112/P units) or xxxxx05x (for the
PR112/PD versions).
• Notes for the G protection function test:
• For the automatic test, the I4 threshold setting must be 0.4In or more (if a lower value
was entered, the PR010/T unit would automatically override to 0.4In during the test).
The value of the test current is 2.5xI4.
• The value of the test current in the manual test is 1.5In.
• After a test with tripping on the G protection function, the protection may trip several
times more during the next 2s.
• PR112 contact wear: during the PR112 test, the operation count and contact wear signal could
increase after the opening command has been generated with over 10s timing. After a few
tests, the wear could reach 100% of the value and lead to an EMERGENCY warning. This
warning can be reset by the customer in the following way:
• Access the READ mode and select the page containing the contact wear indication
• Turn the key to EDIT
• Press the “Up” and “Down” keys for at least 5s. This will reset the contact wear and
operation count indication.

RH0029002.book Page 10 Thursday, May 5, 2011 12:14 PM

2.2.6.3 PR113
• The tests must be performed with the circuit-breaker open, no busbar voltage (V=0) (in the
point where the TV for measuring the voltage of relays PR113/P and PR113/PD are installed)
and with auxiliary power supplied.

2.2.6.4 PR212 and PR222

• The manual test can be performed with both the electronic SET (ELT) and manual SET
(MAN). In the manual test with manual SET, the thresholds and curves are selected with the
dip switches on the protection and are automatically updated on the display of the PR010/T
unit, where only the phase and test current must be set.

2.2.6.5 PR212MP and PR212MP

• In the test with PR212/MP relay version 1 (data item read automatically by the PR010/T unit),
the maximum test current is 7.3In. For this reason, the automatic test will test the protection
functions in accordance with the indications given above and using this value as the limit.
• The manual test can be performed with both the electronic SET (ELT) and manual SET
(MAN). In the manual test with manual SET, the thresholds and curves are selected with the
dip switches on the protection and are automatically updated on the display of the PR010/T
unit, where only the phase and test current must be set.
• If there is no PTC for protection against overtemperatures, the “Input” dip-switch must be set
as a generic input (Input = 0/1) during the test.
• The “Welded contacts” input (WC) setting must be 0 V (no alarm) during the test.
• At the end of each test, the PR010/T unit will wait until the thermal memory has reset before
proceeding with any further tests so as to prevent tripping overlaps between the tested
function and the overload function (L).
• Before testing the rotor blocked protection function (R), the PR010/T waits an initial time
linked to the class setting of protection function L (lasting 24s at most).

2.2.6.6 PR223EF
• If the default settings are used, the front Interlocking LEDs will come on when the relays are
powered with the PR010/T unit. The protection and configuration settings can be changed to
suit the installation requirements.
• The EF protection must be de-activated beforehand in SW versions prior to 4.00, otherwise
the test result will be negative.

2.4.1.1 PR223DS: Current Measure Calibration

The current readings in the PR223DS relay can be corrected in the manual mode by means of the
calibration procedure.
The relay only accepts corrections for current values exceeding 0.05In. The maximum deviation
in relation to the value read without calibration is 5%. Calibration can be reset by restoring the
default configuration (the “Restore Default” command in the calibration menu).

2.4.1.2 PR223EF: S51/P1 Contact configuration

The option allowing the status of contact S51/P1 and the external contacts to be configured and
read is available from relay release 3.01 onwards.

2.4.2 Protections
The settings are made by means of the same procedure used for programming the configuration
parameters.
Different protections are available, depending on the model and version of the relay. Consult the
manuals and catalogues of the individual values for a full description.
With PR223EF, the type of interlock for the IL protection (Driver), required for connection to
relays of a different type, is available from release 3.01 onwards. Consult the manual of the unit
for details.

The trip time settings of the relays during the tests will depend on the settings of the protections.
The PR010/T unit will display the trip time and test result (OK; FAILED).
At the end of the test, the user is asked if he wishes to record a test report, which can then be
downloaded into a PC.
Details of all the tests performed are given in the chapters dedicated to each individual relay,
available from chapter 4.11 onwards.

3.3.2 Manual Test

The manual test must be performed with the circuit-breaker open. With certain relays, it may be
impossible to access/run the test if the circuit-breaker is closed.
The manual test allows you to check the trip time of the relay with the required load condition. In
detail, you can select the current value within the 0.00 to 16.00 In range, the voltage value within
the 0.0 and 1.3 Vn range, the phase shift between -180° and +180° with 0.75° steps (if the relay
allows voltages and phase shifts to be tested) and select one or more of the phases involved in the
test (L1, L2, L3, Ne, Gte, V1, V2, V3). The phases chosen for the test are indicated by the “”
symbol.

At the end of the test, the user is asked if he wishes to record a test report, which can then be
downloaded into a PC.

3.3.3 Trip test

The trip test must be performed with the circuit-breaker closed.
This test allows a circuit-breaker opening command to be transmitted, thus checking the
functionality of the opening system of the relay itself if tripping is caused by an overload or short-
circuit.

3.3.4 Module Test

+24Vdc Auxiliary Power must be available for the Module Test.
During the contact module test ( module PR120/K for PR12x series relays and contact S51/P1 for
PR33x series relays), all the available contacts are momentarily excited (4 or 5 on module PR120/
K and 1 for S51/P1). The user is responsible for checking the physical conditions.
Confirmation that the command has been transmitted is displayed by the PR010/T unit.

3.3.5 S and G selectivity

The zone selectivity tests can only be performed if an auxiliary power supply is available and with
the circuit-breaker open.
The commands available in the unit excite the relay's zone selectivity outputs for the respective
protections (S and G), thus allowing the wiring to be checked in the installations in which they are
wired.
There is a dedicated command in the menu to release the stimulus on the outputs.

3.3.6 RC Test
This test allows a simulated signal to be transmitted to the RC sensor, the current of which, when
read by the relay, causes the circuit-breaker to open, thus checking the residual current reading
functionality.
