Testing <strong>Relay</strong> 1<br />

Now you are ready to test the relay<br />

contact function. This example assumes<br />

a nominal 120V product.<br />

With no measuring signal input, the relay<br />

should be tripped (no Voltage ). Confirm<br />

that <strong>Relay</strong> 1 contact is de-energised.<br />

Apply a three-phase, variable, AC voltage<br />

source to the input, initially set to 120V.<br />

Now decrease the voltage slowly.<br />

Confirm <strong>Relay</strong> 1 contact is energised.<br />

Note that the SPR is checking each phase<br />

for a voltage less than 100 V.<br />

Once the voltage falls below 100 V, the<br />

relay will trip, <strong>and</strong> the status display will<br />

indicate as shown opposite.<br />

The # symbol indicates that <strong>Relay</strong> 1 has<br />

tripped (<strong>and</strong> is still tripped).<br />

Confirm that <strong>Relay</strong> 1 contact is now deenergised.<br />

Now increase the voltage until the # sign<br />

disappears. This should be a level of 103<br />

V (which is the trip setting of 100 V plus<br />

the differential of 3 V)<br />

The relay will change state, back to<br />

energised.<br />
