standard equipment with an
output filter.

Test set connections:

The injection set is connected to the VIP 300 relay without disconnecting the CTs.
This is done via the sockets on the terminal rail located in the pilot cable box, just
above the relay itself.

Phase overcurrent connections:

To test the overcurrent protection the connection should be made across two CTs
(terminal rails nos 4 to 5, 5 to 6 or 6 to 4).

Earth fault connections:

To test the earth fault protection, the connection should be made across one CT
(terminal rail nos 4 to 7, 5 to 7, or 6 to 7).
These terminal numbers should be cross checked with the relevant circuit breaker
schematic diagram. Terminals 15 and 16 (not shown above - see Ringmaster
selection guide) give access to a normally open contact, which is normally open
when the CB is in the open position. This can be used to connect a timing device to
measure the opening time of the relay and circuit breaker.
The type of test plug used to connect to the DIN rail connectors is a standard 2mm
19A test plug.

Note: When using a secondary injection set with VIP 300 a filter (e.g. Foster SF30)
should be used to improve the wave form. If a filter is not used the operating time of
the relay may not follow the theoretical operating times.
