4. SE-701 COMPATIBILITY
The current SE-701 has been enhanced with the
addition of non-volatile trip memory for the fail-safe
relay operating mode. Prior to hardware revision 07, a
mechanical flag was used instead of non-volatile trip
memory. The current revision of the SE-701 can
directly replace previous revision 00 to 06 units. The
hardware-revision number is listed on the SE-701
model/serial-number label affixed to the SE-701
enclosure. Both generations of SE-701 are compared
in Table 1.

8. GROUND-FAULT PERFORMANCE TEST a) USING SE-400

XXX:5
To meet the requirements of the National Electrical
FROM
Code (NEC), as applicable, the overall ground-fault POWER LOAD
protection system requires a performance test when first SOURCE
installed. A written record of the performance test is to
be retained by those in charge of the electrical
installation in order to make it available to the authority 1 2 3 4 5

having jurisdiction. A test-record form is provided for 1A 5A C S1 S2

recording the date and the final results of the L
11
L1
performance tests. The following ground-fault system N
10 SE-701
L2/N
tests are to be conducted by qualified personnel:
a) Evaluate the interconnected system in accordance 11
OP1 OP2
12

with the overall equipment manufacturer’s detailed L

L1
instructions. N

L2
b) Verify proper location of the ground-fault current 1 SE-400
transformer. Ensure the cables pass through the
ground-fault-current-transformer window. This 8 RMT1
REMOTE
check can be done visually with knowledge of the TEST 9
circuit. The connection of the current-transformer RMT2

secondary to the SE-701 is not polarity sensitive. b) USING SE-100T

XXX:5
c) Verify that the system is correctly grounded and that
alternate ground paths do not exist that bypass the FROM
current transformer. High-voltage testers and POWER
SOURCE
LOAD

resistance bridges can be used to determine the

existence of alternate ground paths.
d) Verify proper reaction of the circuit-interrupting 1 2 3 4 5

device in response to a simulated or controlled 1A 5A C S1 S2

ground-fault current. To simulate ground-fault L
11

current, use CT-primary current injection. Fig. 8 (a) N

shows a test circuit using a Startco SE-400 Ground-
Fault-Relay Test Unit. The SE-400 has a 0.65 A
C LO
programmable output of 0.5 to 9.9 A for a duration of 2.75 A
0.1 to 9.9 seconds. Set the test current to 120% of L L1 HI
REMOTE
the SE-701 setting. Fig. 8 (b) shows a test circuit TEST N L2 SE-100T
using a Startco SE-100T Ground-Fault-Relay Tester.
The SE-100T provides a test current of 0.65 or 2.75
RMT
A for testing 0.5- and 2.0-A trip levels. Inject the test
current through the current-transformer window for FIGURE 8. Ground-Fault-Test Circuits
at least 2.5 seconds. Verify that the circuit under test
has reacted properly. Correct any problems and re- TABLE 2. GROUND-FAULT-TEST RECORD
test until the proper reaction is verified.
DATE TEST RESULTS
e) Record the date and the results of the test on the
attached test-record form.

NOTE: Do not inject test current directly into CT-input

terminals 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Retain this record for the authority having jurisdiction.
