7.1. Summary
The place of installation and the ambient conditions must con-
form to the data given in the data sheet. Sufficient room must be
left in front and behind the equipment to allow access for main-
tenance or adding to the system. Air must be allowed to circulate
freely around the unit.
During the course of commissioning, all the wiring to the unit
must be checked and the auxiliary supply voltage and the volt-
age for the opto-coupler inputs must be measured.
Functional testing can be carried out with the aid of the test set
Type XS92b.
All the essential functions of the protection are subject to con-
tinuous self-testing and monitoring and therefore periodic main-
tenance and testing are not normally necessary.
It is recommended, however, to check the values of the voltages
and currents of the external circuits from time to time using the
on the input channel display on the HMI. The tripping circuits
should be tested at the same time.

Screened leads must be used for the c.t. and v.t. wiring from
the terminals to the equipment.
Recommendation
It is also recommended to use screened leads for the binary in-
puts and outputs (BIO’s) and the auxiliary supply.
The following applies if the equipment is not installed in a
cubicle:
The terminals should be as close as possible to the equipment
terminals so that the unscreened lengths of cables are very
short!
Screened c.t., v.t., binary input and output and auxiliary supply
cables can be secured in one of the following ways:
Assemblies fitted into panels:
C.t. and v.t. leads to the terminals can be secured, for example,
to a surface (steel rail) using cable clamps. The surface must be
in direct contact with the plant ground and the cable screens
must make good contact with the cable clamps all the way
round.
This, however, is not always the case and the screen is fre-
quently not in contact at the sides which impairs the screening
effect. To overcome this drawback, a special ** copper braid
tape can be wound on top of the cable screen in the region of
the clamps. This then ensures maximum screening efficiency.
** Suitable tinned copper braid tape is available from 3M under
the designation:
"Scotch No. 24"
(Fitting instructions should also be requested.)

C.t. and v.t. leads to the terminals can be secured, for ex-
ample, to a surface (steel or copper) using conduit clamps.
The surface (e.g. floor plate) must be in direct contact with
the plant ground and the cable screens must make good
contact with the conduit clamps all the way round.
b) This, however, is not always the case and the screen is fre-
quently not in contact at the sides which impairs the screen-
ing effect. To overcome this drawback, a special ** copper
braid tape can be wound on top of the cable screen in the
region of the clamps. This then ensures maximum screening
efficiency.
To prevent corrosion, a Cupal disc (copper-plated aluminium)
must be inserted between aluminium and copper parts.

Core-balance c.t’s
If the residual current is obtained from a core-balance c.t., the
ground for the cable screen must first be taken back through the
core-balance c.t. before connecting it to ground. The purpose of
this is to ensure that any spurious E/F current flowing along the
screen of the cable cancels itself and is not measured falsely as
an E/F on the relay’s own feeder.

7.4. Maintenance
Because of the self-testing and monitoring features included, the
equipment requires neither special maintenance nor periodic
testing.
Where testing is considered necessary, the following procedure
is recommended:
• Measure the currents and voltages in the secondaries of the
main c.t’s and v.t’s and compare the results with the values
displayed by the HMI.
• Test the external circuits using the test functions provided by
the HMI (see Section 5.9.).
The life of the wet electrolytic condensers is about 20 years.
This assumes a mean ambient temperature outside the casing
of 40 °C. An increase of 10 °C shortens the life by half and a de-
crease of 10 °C extends it by half.

7.4.1.3. Restarting
The detection of an error or defect by the self-testing and moni-
toring functions during normal operation initiates the following:
• Processing by the protection functions is stopped and their
operation blocked.
• The binary outputs are reset and further operation blocked.
This includes resetting the ‘Relay ready’ signal, if it was acti-
vated.
• The stand-by signal (green LED on the frontplate) flashes.
Communication between the PC and the protection equipment
remains intact, however, and provides facility for localising the
cause of the problem.
Blocking of the protection is maintained until an attempt is made
to restart it by pressing the reset button on the frontplate. Should
restarting be successful, but the original defect still exists, the
same sequence is repeated and the protection is blocked once
again.

lowing is required:

Procedure
Follow the check list in the Appendix of Section 12 when replac-
ing hardware units.
The check list is primarily intended for replacing defective units
by ones of the same type (same code). If a different relay con-
figuration is desired or necessary, units may be have to be re-

are connected in parallel with test plug contacts B1 to B12 which
correspond to sockets A1 to A12 on the test socket case XX93.
The connections can thus be made again by inserting jumpers in
sockets 1 to 12.
Caution:
Take care when inserting jumpers into the 2 mm sockets,
because they are directly connected to the DC battery sup-
ply for the tripping circuits!
7.7.1.2. Test socket casing 316 TSS 01, test plug RTXH 24
and test cable YX 91-7
The test socket casing 316 TSS 01 consists of a casing into
which a block of RTXP 24 test sockets has been installed.
It is suitable for testing the surface mounting, semi-flush mount-
ing and 19” rack versions of the REL 316. The corresponding
dimensioned drawings and the wiring diagram for the connec-
tions between the REL 316*4 and the 316 TSS 01 are included
in the Appendices (Section 12).
The connections to the test set Type XS92b are established us-
ing the test connector RTXH 24 and test cable YX91-7. This en-
ables testing with four currents and three voltages. Banana
plugs and cables are used for connecting REL 316*4 units
equipped with a fifth c.t. and a fourth v.t. to the test set.
7-30
REL 316*4 1MRB520050-Uen / Rev. C ABB Power Automation Ltd
The connections between the XS92b test set and the RTXH 24
test plug and the 316 TSS 01 casing via the YX91-7 cable are
shown in the Appendices (Section 12).
Inserting the test plug RTXH 24 and test cable YX91-7:
• short-circuits the secondaries of the main c.t’s
• isolates the protection device from the primary system c.t’s
and v.t’s
• interrupts two auxiliary DC supplies to the tripping relays
• connects the current and voltage inputs of the protection de-
vice to the test set
• activates the opto-coupler input OC101 to switch the protec-
tion device automatically to the test mode
• connects the signalling relay S102 to the test set.
The unused contacts A8-B8 and A9-B9 are available for either
interrupting the two other DC circuits or for connecting a fifth v.t.
(for the synchrocheck function).

Example:
For a purely resistive load with power flowing from the busbar
into the line and the c.t. neutral on the line side, the angle be-
tween R phase voltage and current (or US-IS, UT-IT) is zero de-
grees.
This method of checking the direction of measurement, how-
ever, does not disclose whether the setting of the parameter
‘CT neutral’ (‘Bus side/Line side’) is correct.

the voltage is switched off.
