Instructions for putting the RM6 into operation RM6 - Instructions for use
Characteristics
The voltage detecting system equipping your RM6 is of the separate VDS type, HR
system. It complies with standard IEC 61243-5.
WARNING
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
● Use only the accessories complying with standard IEC 61243-5.
● Follow the instructions of the accessory manufacturer.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury or
equipment damage.
Functional principle
The Wega 1.2 C is used to detect the presence or absence of medium voltages. Use a
suitable detection device (for example, Horstmann Orion 3.1 or Orion M1) to test both
the interface and voltage and to perform a phase comparison. Connect the detection
device to the LRM test sockets.
18 07897073EN01-15
RM6 - Instructions for use Instructions for putting the RM6 into operation
Display indication
There is a display indication on the front face of the device.
Indication Definition
Voltage present
Threshold values for voltage presence indication:
0.1 - 0.45 x Service Voltage.
INSTALLATION NOTE: the voltage signal is too low when
operating the system at nominal voltage.
The causes are usually:
- a wrong ordered service voltage or,
- the operation of the switchgear at a nominal voltage which is
lower than the one for which the device was originally rated.
Voltage present and integrated maintenance test passed
The current flowing through the indication device complies
with the requirements for current monitoring according to
IEC 61243-5 (VDE 0682 Part 415), Section 5.28
(maintenance test on the integrated VDS).
A maintenance test is not necessary due to the continuous
monitoring and indication.
Voltage present and integrated maintenance test
passed, however the voltage signal is too high
INSTALLATION NOTE: Voltage signal too high.
The cause is usually:
- a wrong ordered service voltage or,
- the operation of the switchgear at a nominal voltage which is
higher than the one for which the device was originally rated.
Voltage not present
All symbols are in off-state while the switchgear is
de-energized. Presence of voltage <0.1 x Service Voltage.
Functional test
A functional test is possible while the unit is energized (indication of arrow and dot
symbols) or while the unit is de-energized.
Energized state
Perform the functional test by short-circuiting one of the three test sockets with the
earth socket. The displayed symbol (L1, L2 or L3) disappears. The short-circuit jumper
must be removed after the test.
De-energized state
There are two possibilities to perform the functional test in the de-energized state:
1: Display test
b Press the ‘Display’ button.
b All symbols on the LCD indication are activated momentarily.
2: Functional test using the "function tester for Wega".
b Connect the measuring leads of the function tester to one of the three test sockets
and the earth socket of the Wega 1.2 C.
b Switch on the function tester.
b The appropriate arrow and dot symbols appear (see table above). The wrench tool
symbol is not activated.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR EXPLOSION
● If the specified indication does not appear, the VDS component is defected and
has to be replaced.
● Without appropriate voltage detection, access to the cable compartment is
forbidden.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
07897073EN01-15 19
Instructions for putting the RM6 into operation RM6 - Instructions for use
When the VDS unit is defective it has to be replaced. During dismounting and
installation, follow safe electrical work practices.
WARNING
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
● DO NOT dismount or install the VDS while the functional unit is energized.
● Make sure that all medium voltage cables of the functional unit are de-energized.
● Make sure that the switch of the functional unit is in open position.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
Voltage detection
The Wega 1.2 C is designed for continuous operation. The voltage is continuously
detected after the installation of the Wega 1.2 C in the switchgear.
The voltage state is displayed for each phase via the LCD indication (see table
page 19).
Phase comparison
Perform a phase comparison using a phase comparator for LRM systems available as
an option according to VDE 0682 Part 415 (for example, Horstmann Orion 3.1 or Orion
M1). Connect the phase comparator’s connection leads to one of the three LRM test
sockets and the earth socket. The test sockets are accessible once the protective cap
has been removed.
b The corresponding indication for the Wega 1.2 C may be weaker or may even go off.
b Attach the protective cap after the phase comparison.
WARNING
HAZARD OF WRONG FUNCTIONNALITY
Disable all automation using voltage presence signal before carrying out the phase
concordance test.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury
or equipment damage.
Voltage detection
When testing the cable sheath or during DC tests on switchgears equipped with the
Wega 1.2 C, Schneider Electric advises connecting the three measuring sockets for
L1, L2 and L3 to the earth socket using short leads (max. 25 cm). The 4-pole Wega
short-circuit plug available as an accessory can also be used as an alternative (Order
no.51-9904-001).
NOTICE
HAZARD OF COMPONENT DAMAGE
DO NOT perform medium voltage cable testing without connecting the three
measuring sockets to the earthing socket.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Precautions
VIP installed in a cubicle
bb Transport
VIP relays can be transported by all suitable means of transport in the usual conditions
for cubicles.
Storage conditions should be taken into consideration for a long period of transport.
bb Handling
If the cubicle is dropped, check the VIP’s condition by visual inspection and energising.
bb Storage
Schneider Electric recommends keeping the cubicle protective packaging for as long
as possible.
VIP relays, like all electronic units, must not be stored in a damp environment for more
than one month. They should be energized as quickly as possible. If this is not
possible, the cubicle reheating system must be activated.
Phase Current Sensors
VIPs operate exclusively with dual core CUa (200 A primary) and CUb (630 A primary)
current sensors.
These sensors provide:
bb the VIP power supply,
bb metering of all 3 phase currents and the earth fault current.
The use of dedicated sensors means that the complete protection chain performance
(sensor, VIP, Mitop trip unit) can be guaranteed.
It is very easy to connect VIP relays to the CUa or CUb sensors by means of 2
prewired connectors from the sensors:
bb 1 x 9-pin SUBD connector for metering the phase and earth fault currents,
bb 1 x 6-pin lockable connector for the VIP power supply.
The CUa and CUb current sensors consist of 2 windings per phase:
bb one winding providing the VIP power supply,
bb the other winding enabling the VIP to measure the phase currents.
The earth fault current is measured by taking the sum of the 3 phase currents inside
the sensor.

WARNING
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Connect the VIP to earth. Check the integrity of protective conductor connection
before carrying out any other actions.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
Status LEDs
The status LEDs provide information about the VIP general status:
07897073EN01-15 31
Instructions for putting into operation the protection relay for circuit- breaker RM6 - Instructions for use
After a trip, the fault indication LEDs are powered by the battery embedded in the VIP
or by the VIP410 auxiliary power supply.
Fault indication by the LEDs can be stopped:
bb by pressing the Reset key,
bb automatically by the reappearance of a current in the network higher than the
pick-up current,
bb automatically after 24 hours,
bb by remote control order via the communication (VIP410).
For the first 3 LEDs, faster flashing may occur before the protection trips, to indicate
the following information:
pictogram overshoot
Overshoot of the instantaneous set point for phase
overcurrent protection (I> or I>> or I>>> pickup outputs)
Overshoot of the instantaneous set point for earth fault
protection (Io> or Io>> pick-up outputs)
Overshoot of the alarm set point for thermal overload
protection
Note
In custom mode, the protection set points may not be assigned to the Mitop trip unit
output. In this case, the fault indication LED may be active, without being
associated with the circuit-breaker trip. Depending on the application, this
can indicate the presence of a fault without tripping the circuit-breaker. The fault
indication LED pictograms can be customized by sticking a label to the right of the
LEDs.
Display
Io The display is an LCD unit.
It is only back-lit on the VIP410, when the auxiliary power supply is present.
0.1 A Each VIP function is presented in a screen consisting of the following items:
bb 1st line: symbols for electrical values or function name
bb 2nd line: displays the values of measurements or parameters associated with the
function
bb a menu pointer, on the left, points to the pictogram of the selected menu.
Menu Organization
All the data available in the VIP relay is divided between 3 menus:
bb the metering menu contains the current measurements, peak demand currents,
load history, event records, fault trip counter and the breaking current history.
bb the protection menu contains the essential settings for setting up the protection
functions.
bb the parameters menu contains the parameters that are used to adapt VIP
operation to particular applications. When a VIP is new, all the parameters in this menu
have a default value. The protection functions are operational even with the
parameters menu default values.

RM6 - Instructions for use Instructions for putting into operation the protection relay for circuit-breaker
Default Screen
A default screen is displayed automatically 3 minutes after the last keystroke.
This default screen is the screen displaying the phase currents.
Integral Battery
The VIP has an integral battery. It is used to:
bb activate the user-machine interface in order to enter settings when the VIP is not
supplied with power.
bb illuminate the fault indication LEDs when the VIP is no longer supplied with power
after giving the opening order to the circuit-breaker.
bb power the internal calendar.
When the VIP is not supplied with power:
Pressing and holding down the key activates battery-powered operation of the
user-machine interface. It is then possible to access the menus in order to enter
settings. In this case, the display turns off automatically after 3 minutes of inactivity on
the keypad.
bb The protection functions are activated automatically if the current reappears. The
integral battery plays no part in operating the protection functions. The protection
functions work even when there is no battery.
NOTE:
bb in battery operation mode, the VIP processor runs with a reduced clock frequency to
ensure the battery life is maintained. As a result, the user-machine interface may be
slower to react.
bb during a setting operation with the VIP powered by its internal battery alone, the
clock display is not refreshed on screen. However the internal clock increments
normally.

Frequency
The network frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) is a parameter that must be known for
operation of the VIP40 and VIP45 signal processing algorithms.They therefore have
an automatic frequency recognition system.
The recognized value (50 Hz or 60 Hz) is stored and the VIP works permanently with
this value.
This stored value is used each time the VIP starts.
For the VIP to recognize the network frequency and store it, it has to detect a current
on phase 1 for a minimum period of 5 seconds in the range 50 Hz +/- 2 Hz or
60 Hz +/- 2 Hz.
This detection happens when the VIP starts.

Operating instructions RM6 - Instructions for use
The Flair 21D, 22D and 23DM fault passage indicator is self-powered by the
measurement sensors. A minimum 2 A current is required in the MV cable to start up
the Flair 21D display, an energy storage guarantees a 4-hour minimum autonomy.
The Flair devices have an output contact for interfacing with a SCADA system.
Flair 22D/23DM can be connected to a voltage presence indicating system (VPIS)
provided with a voltage output (VPIS-VO). In this case, for greater reliability, fault
detection is confirmed by voltage absence without taking into account the current.
Flair 23DM has to be supplied from 24 Vdc to 48 Vdc for a permanent display operating
and for the outdoor lamp supply (with a single zero sequence CT, self powering is
not possible).

Schneider Electric draws your attention to the risk of using high-pressure cleaning
processes.
Schneider Electric cannot therefore guarantee the reliability of equipment that has
been cleaned in this manner, even if cleaning has been followed by lubrication.
The main drawbacks of this process are:
b deterioration due to jet pressure and impossibility of relubricating the inaccessible
fixing points.
b risk of overheating due to presence of solvent on the contact zones.
b elimination of special protections.
