Procedure:
1) For testing power swing, initially set an Impedance value on the load area depending on
the setting inside the relay.
2) Gradually reduce the Impedance setting so that, a power swing which enters to the fault
area from the load area is simulated.
45
3) Then increase the Impedance value back again to the load area which simulates a power
swing which goes off.
4) With ‘ DIST BLK ‘ setting for all Zones, simulate the steps 1) to 3) and observe that
power swing is blocked.
5) Set ‘Delay 1 Reset’ to 5 seconds.
6) Simulate a fault which persists for less than 5 seconds, just after repeating steps 1) to 3)
and observe that Power Swing Blocking is latched for the specified time delay in
‘Delay 1 Reset’.
7) Reduce ‘Delay 1 Reset’ time delay to 0 seconds and apply a fault just after Power swing,
and observe relay tripping for the fault after Power Swing Blocking.

b) Give Zone I Fault through Test Kit. See the Voltage in the Multi meter, it will show Zero
Voltage at the time fault momentarily.
6. VT supervision check:
Fuse fail condition, apply 3 phase voltage is reduce one of the phase voltage to zero volt for long
enough time for fuse fail function of relay to pick up. Simulate an earth fault on same phase to
verify that fuse fail functionBLOCK the trip signal.VT Fuse fail Alarm should come on the front
LEDs (if configured) and trip should be blocked
47
9. Trending data is to be mentioned:
Trending performance data can provide an understanding of relay performance over
time.Past relay maintenance and test data can be used to determine whether relay test intervals
are appropriate. The relay that may exhibit large drift requires checking more frequently. The
relay may be very stable and require checking less frequently. Particularly stable relays may
have their test interval extended if an analysis of past test performance indicates that they are
far from drift.

Observation:
5. Permissible Under Reach (PUR) scheme:
In PUR scheme (to clear end zone fault) zone 1 element of the remote end is used to send signal
to the local end. Operation of Zone 2 element along with signal receive at the local end gives
instant tripping.
72
a. Signal send circuit test:
Procedure:
Apply zone 1 fault and check operation of signal send contact (VG1 – VG2) and
carrier Boost contact (VG3 – VG4) (refer Commissioning drawings). Also confirm for
non operation of the same contacts for zone2 fault.
Result: Yes\No
h) Connect Multi meter across Carrier Send Contacts of the Relay as per Relay Scheme in
DC Mode. 220V will appear on Multi meter.
i) Give Zone I Fault through Test Kit. See the Voltage in the Multi meter, it will show Zero
Voltage at the time fault momentarily.
73
Past relay maintenance and test data can be used to determine whether relay test intervals are
appropriate. The relay that may exhibit large drift requires checking more frequently. The relay
may be very stable and require checking less frequently. Particularly stable relays may have
their test interval extended if an analysis of past test performance indicates that they are far
from drift.
10. Signature of the Test Engineer:
The engineer who is responsible for conducting the tests should sign in the report.

b. Signal receive circuit test:
Procedure:
To check the receive circuit, energize ‘carrier in service’ OPTO by applying rated volts
across digital input terminals (refer commissioning drawings). Zone 2 timer is set around 1 sec.
On applying a zone 2 fault without ‘Carrier Receive’ signal the relay operates after a time delay.
The carrier receive OPTO is energized by applying rated volts across opto input terminals and
under this condition the above zone 2 fault is cleared instantly with ‘Aided Trip’ LED indication.
Result: Yes/No
6. VT supervision check:
Fuse fail condition, apply 3 phase voltage is reduce one of the phase voltage to zero volt for
long enough time for fuse fail function of relay to pick up. Simulate an earth fault on same phase
to verify that fuse fail function BLOCK the trip signal. VT Fuse fail Alarm should come on the
front LEDs (if configured) and trip should be blocked.

7.0 Secondary injection tests:
Applied Auxiliary Voltage: 220 VDC
Procedure: (Using the constant current method) An impedance of value higher than the setting
value is applied to the relay and it is decreased gradually. The Operating value is measured when
the output contact operated. For a particular Zone reach measurement , the Zone time setting
should be set to minimum
Output contacts: The contacts to be assigned are to be referred from the commissioning

Procedure:
a) Set initial voltage to 63.5* V at nominal balanced angle.
b) Set constant current to nominal values of 1A and current angle is initially set to 0o (Load
angle).
c) Voltage magnitude is reduced in steps of -10 mV from 63.5* v to 10* V with (dt=1.0
millisecond) and current angle is ramped from 0o to -500 in steps of 0.01o.
d) This simulates power oscillation/Swing trajectory to the relay and observe that PSB
element picks up.
Distance relay pick up indication to be observed on the relay front panel.
e) With ‘ All Zones Blocked ‘ setting , simulate Power Swing to enter from Load area to
protection zones
Observe that the PSB is initiated by LED indication on the front panel.
Reduce time delay (68 Trip Delay) and Observe relay trip.
f) Simulate power swing by changing the lower voltage value from 10 V to a lesser values
( 5V, 1V ) so that the swing enters inner zones. Change in angle remains the same.
Observe PSB indication on the relay.
g) Now With ‘Z1, Z1B, Z2 Block’ repeat steps a) to c) and observe that the relay trips in
Zone 3. Observe LED on the front panel.
* The voltage ramping from 63.5 V to 10 V can be changed accordingly such that the
power swing enters different Zones depending on the Zone setting inside the relay.
Observation:
4. SOTF:
SOTF contact (refer Commissioning drawings):
Digital input (breaker closed condition):
Procedure: The digital input (Applying 110/220V DC) corresponding to breaker closed
condition is given to the relay. Apply a zone2 AN fault. Observe that the relay operates on
SOTF. The operating time should be less than 40 – 50 msec.
To check the SOTF feature of the relay, first confirm, whether SOTF feature is enabled.
Observation:
107
5. Permissible Under Reach (PUR) scheme:
In PUR scheme (to clear end zone fault) zone 1 element of the remote end is used to send signal
to the local end. Operation of Zone 2 element along with signal receive at the local end gives
instant tripping.
a. Signal send circuit test:
Procedure:
Apply zone 1 fault and check operation of signal send contact (VG1 – VG2) and
carrier Boost contact (VG3 – VG4) (refer Commissioning drawings). Also confirm for
non operation of the same contacts for zone2 fault.
Result: Yes\No
a) Connect Multi meter across Carrier Send Contacts of the Relay as per Relay Scheme in
DC Mode. 220V will appear on Multi meter.
b) Give Zone I Fault through Test Kit. See the Voltage in the Multi meter, it will show Zero
Voltage at the time fault momentarily.
b. Signal receive circuit test:
Procedure:
To check the receive circuit, energize ‘carrier in service’ OPTO by applying rated volts
across ZA3 – ZA4. Zone 2 timer is set around 1 sec. On applying a zone 2 fault without ‘Carrier
Receive’ signal the relay operates after a time delay. The carrier receive OPTO is energized by
applying rated volts across ZA1 – ZA2 and under this condition the above zone 2 fault is cleared
instantly with ‘Aided Trip’ LED indication.
Result: Yes/No
6. VT supervision check:
Fuse fail condition, apply 3 phase voltage is reduce one of the phase voltage to zero volt for
long enough time for fuse fail function of relay to pick up. Simulate an earth fault on same phase
to verify that fuse fail function BLOCK the trip signal. VT Fuse fail Alarm should come on the
front LEDs (if configured) and trip should be blocked.
108
9. Trending data is to be mentioned as given:
Trending performance data can provide an understanding of relay performance over time.
Past relay maintenance and test data can be used to determine whether relay test intervals are
appropriate. The relay that may exhibit large drift requires checking more frequently. The
relay may be very stable and require checking less frequently. Particularly stable relays may
have their test interval extended if an analysis of past test performance indicates that they are
far from drift.

33(+ve)-34(-ve)48V
33(+ve)-34(-ve)48V
4. OPTO Check
For checking the healthiness of the 8 no.optos it is required to extend 48 volts to the
terminals of each opto. Go to “COMMISIONING TEST” chapter on relay LDC, and in this
228
chapter go to “Opto I/P Status”. When 48 Volt is applied to OPTO BI”0” will change to
“1”, observe this change on relay LCD.
5. Contact Test:
Warning: DURING THIS WE ARE FORCING THE CONTACT TO MAKE WITHOUT
ANYPROTECTION FUNCTION.
a) For checking the healthiness of the 7 no contacts it is required to go to
“COMISSION TEST” chapter on relay LCD, and in this chapter go to “CONTACT
TEST” and force the contacts tooperate.
b) Operation will be confirmed by the continuity tester, operating for a normally open
contact and ceasing to operate for a normally closed contact.
229
c) After Completion of test, Reset the output relay by setting cell Contact Test to
‘Remove Test’ in Commissioning tests Menu.
