WORK METHODOLOGY
3.1

PREPARATORY WORK

Examine the cable path to ensure all areas are free of debris.

Barricade all working area & install danger signage.

Ensure that all parties involved with above work is complete with proper PPE.
Tools and material to be used should be checked and are to be in good operating
condition.

All parties involved i.e Engineers, Site Supervisors, Safety Supervisor and worker
should discuss and confirm the activities to be carried out.

3.2

All inspection done should be witnessed by PDP/SC

Procedure for Overcurrent & Earth Fault Protection Relay

3.2.1 Starting Current

Record all particulars of Relay to be tested and its working setting

Change the settings to test settings where appropriate.

Check the auxiliary supply voltage connected to the relay corresponds to related
auxiliary voltage stated on its name plate.

Connect output of the test set to R (red) phase of relay.

Turn on auxiliary supply to the relay.

Ensure that control knob on the test set gradually until O/C element of R (red)
phase pick up.

Record the current in the test form.

Switch of the test set

3.2.1 Timing Test

Connect a trip contact to timer stop terminals of the test set. (A pair of voltage
free contacts is preferred)

Switch on the test set

Increase current to 1.3 times of setting current

Switch off the test set with control knob remaining in the same position.

Switch on the test set to inject the current and start timer at the same time.

After trip contact has operated record the relay operating time in test form

Switch of the test set.

Repeat the step 2 and 3 above for 2 and 3 times of setting current. To check that
operating time recorded correspond to timing characteristic of relay

3.2.2 High Set Element

Repeat timing test for the high set elements.

Injected current shall be approximately 5% higher than setting. In this case, the
operating time will be of definite time delay instead of inverse time characteristic.
Caution :-

Check thermal rating of relay before high set element is tested to ensure that
maximum allowable continuous current is not exceeded.

3.2.3 Final Test

Repeat all the above test for phase Y (yellow), B (blue) and E/F element.

Change setting back for all element (R,Y,B & E/F) to ensure that the start current

Procedure for Overcurrent & Earth Fault Protection Relay

Record all particulars of relay to be tested and its working setting

Check the auxiliary supply voltage connected to the relay corresponds to related
auxiliary voltage stated on its name plate

Connect output of the test set to input terminals of ELR. Alternatively singlephase primary current can be injected into one of the conductors to induce a
secondary current on the ZCT (core balance current transformer)

Ensure that control knob on the test set has returned zero position.

Then switch on the test set.

Increase the output current of test set gradually until the relay picks up.

Record the test in the test form.

Connect a trip contact to timer stop terminals of the test set. (A pair voltage free

Switch on the test set.

Increase current to 2 times of setting current.

Switch off the test set with control knob remaining in the same position.

Switch on the test set to inject the current and start timer at the same time.

After trip contact has operated record the relay operating time in test form.

Switch off test set.

Disconnect all wiring between test set and relay.
