• Maintenance testing
This manual describes the workflow and the steps to carry out the commissioning testing.
Factory acceptance testing (FAT) is typically done to verify that the IED and its corresponding
configuration meet the requirements of the utility or industry. This test is the most complex
and in depth, as it is done to familiarize the user with a new product or to verify a new
configuration. The complexity of this testing depends on several factors, such as:
Site acceptance testing (SAT or commissioning testing) is typically done to verify that the
installed IED is correctly set and connected to the power system. SAT requires that the
acceptance testing has been performed and that the application configuration is verified.
Maintenance testing is a periodic verification that the IED is healthy and has correct settings,
depending on changes in the power system. There are also other types of maintenance
testing.
Before starting up commissioning at site, check that the following items are available.
Check that the auxiliary supply voltage remains within the permissible input voltage range
under all operating conditions. Check that the polarity is correct before powering the IED.
Check all connections to external circuitry to ensure correct installation, before energizing the
IED and carrying out the commissioning procedures.
Energize the power supply of the IED to start it up. This could be done in a number of ways,
from energizing a whole cubicle to energizing a single IED. Set the IED time if no time
synchronization source is configured. Check the self-supervision function in Main menu/
Diagnostics/Internal events or Main menu/Diagnostics/IED status/General menu in local
HMI to verify that the IED is functioning properly.
• The green Ready LED starts flashing instantly and the ABB logo is shown on the LCD.
• After approximately 30 seconds, "Starting" is shown on the LCD.
• Within 90 seconds, the main menu is shown on the LCD and the green Ready LED shows a
steady light, which indicates a successful startup.
If the green Ready LED continues to flash after startup, the IED has detected an internal error.
Navigate via Main menu/Diagnostics/IED status/General to investigate the error description.
The communication between the IED and PCM600 is independent of the communication
protocol used within the substation or to the NCC.
The communication media is always Ethernet and the used protocol is TCP/IP.
Each IED has an RJ-45 Ethernet interface connector on the front. The front Ethernet connector
shall be used for communication with PCM600..
When an Ethernet-based station protocol is used, PCM600 communication can use the same
Ethernet port and IP address.
• Direct point-to-point link between PCM600 and the IED front port.
• Indirect link via a station LAN or from remote via a network.
The physical connection and the IP address must be configured in both cases to enable
communication.
Setting up IP addresses
The IP address and the corresponding mask must be set via the LHMI for each available
Ethernet interface in the IED. Each Ethernet interface has a default factory IP address when the
IED is delivered. This is not given when an additional Ethernet interface is installed or an
interface is replaced.
• The default IP address for the IED front port is 10.1.150.3 and the corresponding
subnetwork mask is 255.255.255.0, which can be set via the local HMI path Main menu/
Configuration/Communication/TCP-IP configuration/ETHFRNT:1.

The PC and IED must belong to the same subnetwork for this set-up to work.
Ensure that the IED includes the correct application configuration according to
project specifications.
The application configuration is created using PCM600 and then written to the IED. Establish a
connection between PCM600 and the IED when an application configuration must be written
to the IED.
After writing an application configuration to the IED, the IED makes an application restart or a
complete IED restart, when necessary.
The IED does not restart after reconfiguring IEC61850 (regardless of whether
the protocol is enabled or disabled).
Be sure to set the correct technical key in both the IED and PCM600 to prevent
writing an application configuration to a wrong IED.
Check that the wiring is in strict accordance with the supplied connection
diagram.
• Primary injection test to verify the current ratio of the CT, the correct wiring up to the
protection IED and correct phase sequence connection (that is L1, L2, L3.)
• CT secondary loop resistance measurement to confirm that the current transformer
secondary loop DC resistance is within specification and that there are no high resistance
joints in the CT winding or wiring.
• Earthing check of the individual CT secondary circuits to verify that each three-phase set
of main CTs is properly connected to the station earth and only at one electrical point.
• Insulation resistance check.
Both the primary and the secondary sides must be disconnected from the line
and the IED when plotting the excitation characteristics.
Check that the wiring is in strict accordance with the supplied connection diagram.
• Polarity check
• VT circuit voltage measurement (primary injection test)
• Earthing check
• Phase relationship
• Insulation resistance check
The polarity check verifies the integrity of circuits and the phase relationships. The check must
be performed as close to the IED as possible.
The primary injection test verifies the VT ratio and the wiring all the way from the primary
system to the IED. Injection must be performed for each phase-to-neutral circuit and each
phase-to-phase pair. In each case, voltages in all phases and neutral are measured.
The RTXP test switch is designed to provide the means of safe testing of the IED. This is
achieved by the electromechanical design of the test switch and test plug handle. When the
test plug handle is inserted, it first blocks the trip and alarm circuits then it short circuits the
CT secondary circuit and opens the VT secondary circuits making the IED available for
secondary injection.
When pulled out, the test handle is mechanically stopped in half withdrawn position. In this
position, the current and voltage enter the protection, but the alarm and trip circuits are still
isolated. Before removing the test handle, check that no trip or alarms are present in the IED.
Not until the test handle is completely removed, the trip and alarm circuits are restored for
operation.
Verify that the contact sockets have been crimped correctly and that they are
fully inserted by tugging on the wires. Never do this with current circuits in
service.

Preferably, disconnect the binary input connector from the binary input cards. Check all
connected signals so that both input level and polarity are in accordance with the IED
specifications.
Preferably, disconnect the binary output connector from the binary output cards. Check all
connected signals so that both load and polarity are in accordance with IED specifications.
• The IEC 61850-8-1 station communication functionality must be on in the local HMI.
Navigate to Main menu/Configuration/Communication/Station communication/
IEC61850-8-1:1 and set the Operation parameter to On.
• To enable GOOSE communication the Operation parameter for the corresponding GOOSE
function blocks (GOOSEBINRCV and GOOSEINTLKRCV) must be set to On in the
application configuration.
• To enable GOOSE communication via the front port the parameter PortSelGOOSE in Main
menu/Configuration/Communication/Station communication/IEC61850-8-1:1 must be
set to Front. To enable GOOSE communication via rear port the parameter PortSelGOOSE
must be set to LAN1.
• To enable MMS communication via the rear port the parameter PortSelMMS in Main
menu/Configuration/Communication/Station communication/IEC61850-8-1:1 must be
set to LAN1.
Connect your PC to the substation network and ping the connected IED and the Substation
Master PC, to verify that the communication is working (up to the transport layer).
The best way to verify the communication up to the application layer is to use protocol
analyzer connected to the substation bus, and monitor the communication.
If a test switch is included, start preparation by making the necessary connections to the test
switch. This means connecting the test equipment according to a specific and designated IED
terminal diagram.
Put the IED into the test mode to facilitate the test of individual functions and prevent
unwanted operation caused by other functions. The busbar differential protection is not
included in the test mode and is not prevented to operate during the test operations. The test
switch should then be connected to the IED.
Verify that analog input signals from the analog input module are measured and recorded
correctly by injecting currents and voltages required by the specific IED.
To make testing even more effective, use PCM600. PCM600 includes the Signal monitoring
tool, which is useful in reading the individual currents and voltages, their amplitudes and
phase angles. In addition, PCM600 contains the Disturbance handling tool. The content of
reports generated by the Disturbance handling tool can be configured which makes the work
more efficient. For example, the tool may be configured to only show time tagged events and
to exclude analog information and so on.
Check the disturbance report settings to ensure that the indications are correct.
For test functions and test and signal parameter names, see the technical manual. The correct
initiation of the disturbance recorder is made on start and/or release or trip from a function.
Also check that the wanted recordings of analog (real and calculated) and binary signals are
achieved.
The IEDs in the 650 series can have between 1 and 4 individual parameter setting groups
prepared with full sets of different parameters for all functions. The purpose of these groups
is to be able to handle different power system load conditions to optimize the parameters
settings of the different functions for these different power systems conditions (for example
summer/winter and day/night).
Parameters can be entered into different setting groups. Make sure to test
functions for the same parameter setting group. If needed, repeat the tests for
all different setting groups used. The difference between testing the first
parameter setting group and the remaining is that there is no need for testing
the connections.
During testing, observe that the right testing method, that corresponds to the actual
parameters set in the activated parameter setting group, is used.
In the local HMI the sensitive directional earth fault protection SDEPSDE parameter group 4 is
active indicated by the * next to #4 and the test of the SDEPSDE must be performed according
to the instructions given for the setting OpMode and setting value 3I03U0cosfi.
Set and configure the function(s) before testing. Most functions are highly flexible and permit
a choice of functional and tripping modes. The various modes are checked at the factory as
part of the design verification. In certain cases, only modes with a high probability of coming
into operation need to be checked when commissioned to verify the configuration and
settings.
• Calculated settings
• Valid configuration diagram for the IED
• Valid terminal diagram for the IED
• Technical manual
• Three-phase test equipment
The test equipment should be able to provide a three-phase supply of currents and three-
phase voltage. The magnitude and angle of currents (and voltages) should be possible to vary.
Check that the IED is prepared for test before starting the test session. Consider the logic
diagram of the function when performing the test.
Do not switch off the auxiliary power supply to the IED before changes, for
example, setting parameter or local/remote control state changes are saved.
A mechanism for limiting the number of writings per time period is included in the IED to
prevent the flash memory to be worn out due to too many writings. As a consequence it may
take up to an hour to save changes. If the auxiliary power is interrupted before a change is
saved, that change is lost.
Put the IED into the test mode before testing. The test mode blocks all protection functions
and some of the control functions in the IED, and the individual functions to be tested can be
unblocked to prevent unwanted operation caused by other functions. In this way, it is possible
to test slower back-up measuring functions without the interference from faster measuring
functions. The busbar differential protection is not included in the test mode and is not
prevented to operate during the test operations. The test switch should then be connected to
the IED.Test mode is indicated when the yellow StartLED flashes. The control functions not
blocked when the IED enters test mode are listed in the following table:
The IED can be equipped with a test switch of type RTXP8, RTXP18 or RTXP24. The test switch
and its associated test plug handle (RTXH8, RTXH18 or RTXH24) are a part of the COMBITEST
system, which provides secure and convenient testing of the IED.
When using the COMBITEST, preparations for testing are automatically carried out in the
proper sequence, that is, for example, blocking of tripping circuits, short circuiting of CT’s,
opening of voltage circuits, making IED terminals available for secondary injection. Terminals 1
and 8, 1 and 18 as well as 1 and 12 of the test switches RTXP8, RTXP18 and RTXP24 respectively
are not disconnected as they supply DC power to the protection IED.
The RTXH test-plug handle leads may be connected to any type of test equipment or
instrument. When a number of protection IEDs of the same type are tested, the test-plug
handle only needs to be moved from the test switch of one protection IED to the test switch of
the other, without altering the previous connections.
Use COMBITEST test system to prevent unwanted tripping when the handle is withdrawn,
since latches on the handle secure it in the half withdrawn position. In this position, all
voltages and currents are restored and any re-energizing transients are given a chance to
decay before the trip circuits are restored. When the latches are released, the handle can be
completely withdrawn from the test switch, restoring the trip circuits to the protection IED.
If a test switch is not used, perform measurement according to the provided circuit diagrams.
Connect the test equipment according to the IED specific connection diagram and the needed
input and output signals for the function under test. An example of a connection is shown in
figure 9.
Connect the current and voltage terminals. Pay attention to the current polarity. Make sure
that the connection of input and output current terminals and the connection of the residual
current conductor is correct. Check that the input and output logical signals in the logic
diagram for the function under test are connected to the corresponding binary inputs and
outputs of the IED under test.
To ensure correct results, make sure that the IED as well as the test equipment
are properly earthed before testing.

Release or unblock the function to be tested. This is done to ensure that only the function or
the chain of functions to be tested are in operation and that other functions are prevented
from operating. Release the tested function(s) by setting the corresponding Blocked
parameter under Function test modes to No in the local HMI.
When testing a function in this blocking feature, remember that not only the actual function
must be activated, but the whole sequence of interconnected functions (from measuring
inputs to binary output contacts), including logic must be activated. Before starting a new test
mode session, scroll through every function to ensure that only the function to be tested (and
the interconnected ones) have the parameters Blocked and eventually EvDisable set to No and
Yes respectively. Remember that a function is also blocked if the BLOCK input signal on the
corresponding function block is active, which depends on the configuration. Ensure that the
logical status of the BLOCK input signal is equal to 0 for the function to be tested. Event
function blocks can also be individually blocked to ensure that no events are reported to a
remote station during the test. This is done by setting the parameter EvDisable to Yes.
Any function is blocked if the corresponding setting in the local HMI under Main
menu/Tests/Function test modes menu remains On, that is, the parameter
Blocked is set to Yes and the parameter TestMode under Main menu/
Tests/IED test mode remains active. All functions that were blocked or
released in a previous test mode session, that is, the parameter Test mode is
set to On, are reset when a new test mode session is started.
Procedure
Verify that the connections are correct and that measuring and scaling is done correctly. This
is done by injecting current and voltage to the IED.
Apply input signals as needed according to the actual hardware and the
application configuration.
Check both analog primary and secondary values, because then the CT
and VT ratios entered into the IED are also checked.
Measured values such as current and voltages as well as active, reactive and apparent power,
power factor phase angles as well as positive and negative and zero sequence currents and
voltages are available in the local HMI under Main menu/Tests/Function status/Monitoring.
Also the Signal Monitoring tool in PCM600 can be used to read the measured values. In many
cases it is more convenient to use PCM600 since, among many things, reports on measured
values can be exported from the Signal Monitoring tool to other tools (for example, MS Excel)
for further analysis.

• Operation = Off/On
• Activation of the voltage selection function if applicable
The tests explained in the test procedures below describe the settings, which can be used as
references during testing before the final settings are specified. After testing, restore the
equipment to the normal or desired settings.
A secondary injection test set with the possibility to alter the phase angle and amplitude of
the voltage is needed. The test set must also be able to generate different frequencies on
different outputs.

values instead of values in the example below.
1. Apply voltages U-Line (for example) = 80% GblBaseSelLine and U-Bus = 80%
GblBaseSelBus
2. Check that the AUTOSYOK and MANSYOK outputs are activated.
3. The test can be repeated with different voltage values to verify that the function
operates within the set UDiffSC. Check with both U-Line and U-Bus respectively lower
than the other.
4. Increase the U-Bus to 110% GblBaseSelBus, and the U-Line = 90% GblBaseSelLine and

4. Check that the two outputs are not activated. The test can be repeated with different
frequency values to verify that the function operates for values lower than the set ones. If
a modern test set is used, the frequency can be changed continuously.
The voltage difference between the voltage connected to U-Bus and U-Line should be 0%,
so that the AUTOSYOK and MANSYOK outputs are activated first.
2. Change the U-Line voltage connection to U-Line2 without changing the setting on the
local HMI. Check that the two outputs are not activated.
During the test of the energizing check function for a single bay arrangement, these voltage

When testing the energizing check function for the applicable bus, arrangement shall be done
for the energizing check functions. The voltage is selected by activation of different inputs in
the voltage selection logic.
Live voltage level is fixed to 80% UBase and dead voltage level to fixed 40% UBase.

GblBaseSelLine. The outputs should not be activated.
6. Repeat the test with ManEnerg set to DLLB with different values on the U-Bus and the U-
Line voltage.
If the UB1OK or UB2OK inputs for the fuse failure are used, they must be activated, during
tests below. Also verify that deactivation prevents operation and gives an alarm.
Continue to test another function or end the testing by setting the parameter TestMode to Off
under Main menu/Tests/IED test mode/TESTMODE:1. If another function is tested, then set
the parameter Blocked to No under Main menu/Tests/Function test modes/Control/
SESRSYN(25,SYNC)/SESRSYN:X for the function, or for each individual function in a chain, to
be tested next. Remember to set the parameter Blocked to Yes, for each individual function
that has been tested.
Verification of the Autorecloser for 3-phase operation function SMBRREC for three-phase
reclosing attempts can be considered to consist of two parts.
• One part to verify the internal logic and timing of the function
• One part to verify its interaction with the protection system
This section deals with verification of SMBRREC itself. However, it is practical to start
SMBRREC by activating a protection function, for example, by secondary injection tests.
Prepare the IED for verification of settings as outlined in section Preparing the IED to verify
settings.
Values of the logical signals for SMBRREC are available on the local HMI under Main menu/
Tests/Function status/Control/SMBRREC(79,0->1)/SMBRREC:X. The Signal Monitoring in
PCM600 shows the same signals that are available on the local HMI.
The purpose of verification before commissioning is to check that entered selections, setting
parameters and configuration render the intended result. The function is flexible with many
options and facilities. At commissioning only the selections and settings intended for use are
verified. If one chooses to reduce some time settings in order to speed up verification, be
careful to set the parameters at intended operational values at the end of the verification
procedure. One such parameter is the tReclaim time that must be timed out before a new test
sequence can be performed.
The verification test is performed together with protection and trip functions. Figure 17
illustrates a suggested testing arrangement, where the circuit-breaker (CB) is simulated by an
external bi-stable relay (BR), for example a relay type RXMVB2 or RXMD or Breaker Simulator of
ABB. The following manual switches are used:
If no bi-stable relay or breaker simulator is available, replace it with two self-reset auxiliary
relays and use a self-holding connection.
Use a secondary injection IED test set to operate the protection function. The test set shall be
switched off when a trip signal is given or when the BR comes to open position to simulate real
conditions.
The CB simulation can be made more elaborate, including simulation of the operating gear
condition, CBREADY of either the type ready for a Close-Open (CO) cycle, or the type ready for
an Open-Close -Open (OCO) cycle.
The CB condition CBREADY of a type, CO, shall be high (true) until a closing operation is
performed. It then goes low (false) for a recharging time of about 5 - 10s. After that it is high
again.
A CB condition CBREADY of a type, OCO shall be high (true) before and during tripping (Start
reclosing). During tripping it goes low for a recharging time, for example, 10s. It may thus be
low at the instant of reclosing. After each Open or Close operation it may need a recharging
period before it goes high again.
• Means to indicate, measure and record operation and times, for example an event
recording facility
• A bi-stable relay (BR) or two auxiliary relays to simulate a CB
• Two push-buttons (SC, ST) to operate the BR and a change-over switch (SRY) to simulate
CBREADY
• Possibly a switch simulation the synchronizing check SESRSYN condition

1. Check the function settings on the local HMI under Main menu/Settings/IED Settings/
Control/SMBRREC(79,0->1)/SMBRREC:1
If any timer settings are reduced to speed up or facilitate the testing, they shall be set to
normal after testing. A temporary label on the IED can be a reminder to restore normal
settings after which a verification test should be performed.
2. Decide if a synchronizing check function SESRSYN shall be included in the test.
If SESRSYN as an internal function or external device is not operated by the injection,
input signal SYNC must be connected as a permanent high signal or controlled by a
switch.
3. Read and make notes of the reclosing operation counters on the local HMI under Main
menu/Tests/Function status/Control/SMBRREC(79,0->1)/SMBRREC:1
Possibly reset the counters to Zero. Counters are reset in the reset menu.
4. Make arrangements for the simulation of the CB, for example as in figure 17.
5. Make arrangements for indication, recording and time measurements.
The signals for CBPOS, START, CLOSECB, READY and other relevant signals should
preferably be arranged for event recording with time tagging. If that is not possible,
other means of time measurement and recording should be arranged.

7.7.2.3 Verifying the autorecloser for 3-phase operation function SMBRREC M12400-91 v9
Select the test cases to be run according to what is applicable to the particular application. It
can be, for example, three-phase single-shot reclosing or two-shot reclosing. Below, a case
with three-phase single-shot reclosing is described.
When checking the influence of a releasing condition it is suggested to first run a sequence
with the condition fulfilled. When the condition signal is removed, and a new sequence is run, it
indicates that the result was due to the changed condition. In case of a blocking signal the
procedure should be similar. Start without the blocking or inhibit signal, and then run a
sequence with the blocking or inhibit signal added.
1. Check that the autorecloser function SMBRREC is operative, for example, by making a
reclosing shot without the INHIBIT signal.
2. Apply a fault and thereby a START signal. At the same time, or during the open time,
apply a signal to the input INHIBIT.
3. Check that the reclosing sequence is interrupted and no reclosing takes place.

SMBRREC(79,0->1)/SMBRREC:X for the function, or for each individual function in a chain, to
be tested next. Remember to set the parameter Blocked to Yes, for each individual function
that has been tested.
Prepare the IED for verification of settings as outlined in section Preparing the IED to verify
settings.
Values of the logical signals are available on the local HMI under Main menu/Tests/Function
status/Control/<Function>/<Function:1>. The Signal Monitoring in PCM600 shows the same
signals that are available on the local HMI.
The interlocking function consists of a bay-level part and a station-level part. The interlocking
is delivery specific and is realized by bay-to-bay communication over the station bus. For that
reason, test the function in a system, that is, either in a complete delivery system as an
acceptance test (FAT/SAT) or as parts of that system.
The apparatus control function consists of four types of function blocks, which are connected
in a delivery-specific way between bays and to the station level. For that reason, test the total
function in a system, that is, either in a complete delivery system as an acceptance test (FAT/
SAT) or as parts of that system.
Prepare the IED for verification of settings as outlined in section Preparing the IED to verify
settings.
Values of the logical signals for SMPPTRC are available on the local HMI under Main menu/
Tests/Function status/Logic/SMPPTRC(94,1->0)/SMPPTRC:X. The Signal Monitoring in
PCM600 shows the same signals that are available on the local HMI.
This function is functionality tested together with other protection functions (earth-fault
overcurrent protection, and so on) within the IED. It is recommended that the function is
tested together with the autorecloser function, regardless of whether the autorecloser
function is integrated or external.
The following tests should be carried out when the built-in lockout function is used in addition
to possible other tests, which depends on the complete configuration of an IED.
Continue to test another function or end the testing by setting the parameter TestMode to Off
under Main menu/Tests/IED test mode/TESTMODE:1. If another function is tested, then set
the parameter Blocked to No under Main menu/Tests/Function test modes/Logic/
SMPPTRC(94,1->0)/SMPPTRC:X for the function, or for each individual function in a chain, to
be tested next. Remember to set the parameter Blocked to Yes, for each individual function
that has been tested.
The event counter function CNTGGIO can be tested by connecting a binary input to the counter
under test and applying pulses to the counter. The speed of pulses must not exceed 10 per
second. Normally the counter will be tested in connection with tests on the function that the
counter is connected to, such as trip logic. When configured, test it together with the function
that operates it. Trig the function and check that the counter result corresponds with the
number of operations.
The Limit counter function L4UFCNT can be tested by connecting a binary input to the counter
and applying pulses to the counter. The speed of the pulses must not exceed the cycle time of
the function. Normally the counter will be tested when testing the function that the counter is
connected to, such as the trip function. When the function is configured, test it together with
the function that operates it. Trig the function and check that the counter result corresponds
to the number of operations.
Continue to test another function or end the test by changing the Test mode setting to Off.
Restore connections and settings to their original values, if they were changed for testing
purposes.
Prepare the IED for verification of settings as outlined in section Preparing the IED to verify
settings.
Values of the logical signals for LMBRFLO are available on the local HMI under Main menu/
Tests/Function status/Monitoring/LMBRFLO/LMBRFLO:1. The Signal Monitoring in PCM600
shows the same signals that are available on the local HMI.
The Fault locator function LMBRFLO depends on other functions to work properly, that is,
phase selection information from distance protection function and analog information
supplied by the trip value recorder function. Check that proper binary start and phase
selection signals are connected and voltage and current signals are configured (parameter
settings).
The fault locator LMBRFLO function, supports kilometer and mile for the line
length unit. The fault distance will be presented with the same unit as the line
length and is mapped to IEC61850 -8-1 communication protocol, where the
fault distance is supposed to be in kilometer (km). Select the line length unit to
kilometer for compliance with IEC61850.
The result is displayed on the local HMI or via PCM600. Distances to faults for the last 100
recorded disturbances can be found on the local HMI under Main menu/Tests/Function
status/Monitoring/LMBRFLO/LMBRFLO:1/Outputs
If PCM600 is used, the result is displayed on the recording list after upload, including loop
selection information.
1. Set the test point (|Z| fault impedance and ZF impedance phase angle ) for a condition
that meets the requirements in table 5.
2. Subject the IED to healthy normal load conditions for at least two seconds.
3. Apply a fault condition.
Check that the distance-to-fault value displayed on the HMI complies with equations 32,
33 and 34

The test of the Pulse counter function PCGGIO requires the Parameter Setting tool in PCM600
or an appropriate connection to the local HMI with the necessary functionality. A known
number of pulses with different frequencies are connected to the pulse counter input. The test
should be performed with settings Operation = On or Operation = Off and the function
blocked or unblocked. The pulse counter value is then checked in PCM600 or on the local HMI.
The COM03 ports are used for substation bus (IEC 61850-8-1) communication as well as
redundant communication.
The COM05 ports are also used for communication but not redundant communication.
For IEC 61850-8-1 redundant communication according to IEC62439–3 Edition 2, port LAN_1A
and LAN_1B is utilized.
To enable the IEC 61850 communication, the corresponding COM03 ports must be activated.
Port LAN1 A and LAN1 B are used for redundancy.
If COM03 is used; the following below apply. If COM05 is used; there is no redundancy and the
port is named LAN1 or (FRONT)
• The IEC 61850-8-1 station communication functionality must be configured in the local
HMI. Navigate to Main Menu/Configuration/Communication/TCP-IP configuation/
ETHLAN1_AB and set the OperationMode parameter to NonRedundant(A) or, for
redundant communication, to PRP(A+B).
• To enable GOOSE communication, the Operation parameter for the corresponding GOOSE
function blocks (GOOSEBINRCV and GOOSEINTLKRCV) must be set to On in the
application configuration.
• To enable GOOSE communication via the front port the parameter GOOSE in Main menu/
Configuration/Communication/Station communication/IEC61850-8-1/PortSelGOOSE
must be set to Front. To enable GOOSE communication via rear port the parameter
PortSelGOOSE must be set to LAN1.
Connect a PC to the substation network and ping the connected IED and the Substation
Master PC to verify that the communication is working up to the transport layer.
The best way to verify the communication up to the application layer is to use a protocol
analyzer connected to the substation or process bus and monitor the communication.
During commissioning all protection functions shall be verified with the setting values used at
each plant. The commissioning tests must include verification of all circuits by green-lining the
circuit diagrams and the configuration diagrams for the used functions.
Further, the settings for protection functions are tested and recorded carefully as outlined for
the future periodic maintenance tests.
The final testing includes primary verification of all directional functions where load currents is
checked on the local HMI and in PCM600. The amplitudes and angles of all currents and
voltages should be checked and the symmetry verified.
Directional functions have information about the measured direction and, for example,
measured impedance. These values must be checked and verified as correct with the export or
import of power available.
Finally, final trip tests must be performed. This involves activation of protection functions or
tripping outputs with the circuit breaker closed and the tripping of the breaker verified. When
several breakers are involved, each breaker must be checked individually and it must be
verified that the other involved breakers are not tripped at the same time.
SEMOD56520-5 v4
The periodicity of all tests depends on several factors, for example the importance of the
installation, environmental conditions, simple or complex equipment, static or
electromechanical IEDs, and so on.
The normal maintenance praxis of the user should be followed. However, ABB's
recommendation is as follows:
• Periodic maintenance test for protection IEDs of objects with redundant protection
system.
First maintenance test should always be carried out after the first half year of
service.
When protection IEDs are combined with built-in control, the test interval can
be increased drastically, up to for instance 15 years, because the IED
continuously reads service values, operates the breakers, and so on.
Prior to testing, the protection IEDs should be inspected to detect any visible damage that
may have occurred (for example, dirt or moisture deposits, overheating). Should burned
contacts be observed when inspecting the IEDs, a diamond file or an extremely fine file can be
used to polish the contacts. Emery cloth or similar products must not be used as insulating
grains of abrasive may be deposited on the contact surfaces and cause failure.
SEMOD56528-5 v4
To be made after the first half year of service, then with the cycle as proposed above and after
any suspected maloperation or change of the IED setting.
Testing of protection IEDs shall preferably be made with the primary circuit de-energized. The
IED cannot protect the circuit during testing. Trained personnel may test one IED at a time on
live circuits where redundant protection is installed and de-energization of the primary circuit
is not allowed.
ABB protection IEDs are preferably tested by aid of components from the COMBITEST testing
system described in information B03-9510 E. Main components are RTXP 8/18/24 test switch
located to the left in each protection IED and RTXH 8/18/24 test handle, which is inserted in
test switch at secondary testing. All necessary operations such as opening of trip circuits,
short-circuiting of current circuits and opening of voltage circuits are automatically performed
in the right order to allow for simple and safe secondary testing even with the object in
service.
Preparation SEMOD56528-10 v2
Before starting maintenance testing, the test engineers should scrutinize applicable circuit
diagrams and have the following documentation available:
Recording SEMOD56528-14 v2
It is of utmost importance to carefully record the test results. Special test sheets covering the
frequency of test, date of test and achieved test values should be used. IED setting list and
protocols from previous tests should be available and all results should be compared for
differences. At component failures, spare equipment is used and set to the requested value. A
note of the exchange is made and the new measured values are recorded. Test records for
several years of testing should be stored in a common file for a station, or a part of a station,
to give a simple overview of the period of testing and achieved test values. These test records
are valuable when analysis of service disturbances shall be done.
Please observe that the test system does not provide built-in security during
this test. If the instrument should be set on Amp instead of Volts, the circuit
breaker naturally is tripped, therefore, great care is necessary.
Trip circuit from trip IEDs to circuit breaker is often supervised by trip-circuit supervision. It
can then be checked that a circuit is healthy by opening tripping output terminals in the
cubicle. When the terminal is opened, an alarm shall be achieved on the signal system after a
delay of some seconds.
Remember to close the circuit directly after the test and tighten the terminal
carefully.
For transformer differential protection, the achieved differential current value is dependent on
the tap changer position and can vary between less than 1% up to perhaps 10% of rated
current. For line differential functions, the capacitive charging currents can normally be
recorded as a differential current.
The zero-sequence current to earth-fault protection IEDs should be measured. The current
amounts normally very small but normally it is possible to see if the current circuit is "alive".
The neutral-point voltage to an earth-fault protection IED is checked. The voltage is normally
0.1 to 1V secondary. However, voltage can be considerably higher due to harmonics. Normally a
CVT secondary can have around 2.5 - 3% third-harmonic voltage.
Restoring SEMOD56528-36 v2
Maintenance is very important to improve the availability of the protection system by
detecting failures before the protection is required to operate. There is however little point in
testing healthy equipment and then putting it back into service with an open terminal, with a
removed fuse or open miniature circuit breaker with an open connection, wrong setting, and
so on.
Thus a list should be prepared of all items disturbed during test so that all can be put back into
service quickly and without overlooking something. It should be put back into service item by
item and signed by the responsible engineer.
Section 9 Troubleshooting
9.1 Fault tracing
1. Check the error origin from IED's internal event list Main menu/Diagnostics/IED status/
General.
2. Reboot the IED and recheck the supervision events to see if the fault has cleared.
3. In case of persistent faults, contact ABB for corrective actions.
• Check the IEC61850 and DNP3 communication status in internal event list in Main menu/
Diagnostics/IED Status/General.
• In case of persistent faults originating from IED's internal faults such as component
breakdown, contact ABB for repair or replacement actions.
There are several different communication links on the product. First check that all
communication ports that are used for communication are turned on.
The uplink LED is located on the LHMI above the RJ-45 communication port on the
left. The port is used for direct electrical communication to a PC connected via a
crossed-over Ethernet cable.
1.2. Check the communication status of the front port via the LHMI in Main menu/Test/
Function status/Communication/DOSFRNT:1/Outputs.
Check that the LINKUP value is 1, that is, the communication is working. When the
value is 0, there is no communication link.
2. Check the communication status of the rear port X1 via the LHMI in Main menu/Tests/
Function status/Communication/DOSLAN1:1/Outputs.
The X1 communication port on the rear side of the IED is for optical Ethernet via LC
connector.
• Check that the LINKUP value is 1, that is, the communication is working. When the
value is 0, there is no communication link.
• Select Main menu/Diagnostics/IED status/General and check the status of the time
synchronization on Time Synch.
The Time synch value is Ready when the synchronization is in order.
To run the display test, either use the push buttons or start the test via the menu.
When the Ready LED indicates an internal fault by flashing, the message associated with the
fault is found in the internal event list in the LHMI menu Main menu/Diagnostics/Internal
events. The message includes the date, time, description and signal state for the fault. The
internal event list is not updated dynamically. The list is updated by leaving the Internal events
menu and then selecting it again. The current status of the internal fault signals can also be
checked via the LHMI in Main menu/Diagnostics/IED status.
Different actions are taken depending on the severity of the fault. If the fault is found to be
permanent, the IED stays in internal fault mode. The IED continues to perform internal tests
during the fault situation.
When a fault appears, the fault indication message is to be recorded and stated when
requesting support or service.
The warning message associated with the fault is found in the internal event list in the LHMI
menu Main menu/Diagnostics/Internal events. The message includes the date, time,
description and signal state for the fault. The current status of the internal fault signals can
also be checked via the LHMI in Main menu/Diagnostics/IED status/General.
When a fault appears, record the fault indication message and state it when ordering service.
The messages are listed in the LHMI menu under the event list. The signal status data is found
under the IED status and in the internal event list.
The physical inspection of wiring connections often reveals the wrong connection for phase
currents or voltages. However, even though the phase current or voltage connections to IED
terminals might be correct, wrong polarity of one or more measurement transformers can
cause problems.
• Check the current or voltage measurements and their phase information from Main
menu/Measurements/Analog primary values or Analog secondary values.
• Check that the phase information and phase shift between phases is correct.
• Correct the wiring if needed.
• Change the parameter Negation in Configuration/Analog modules/
3PhaseAnalogGroup/SMAI_20_n:1 (n= the number of the SMAI used).
• In PCM600, change the parameter CTStarPointn (n= the number on the current
input) under the parameter settings for each current input.
• Check the actual state of the connected binary inputs.
• In LHMI, select Main menu/Tests/I/O modules. Then navigate to the board with the
actual binary input to be checked.
• With PCM600, right-click the product and select Signal Monitoring. Then navigate to
the actual I/O board and to the binary input in question. The activated input signal is
indicated with a yellow-lit diode.
• Measure output contacts using the voltage drop method of applying at least the minimum
contact load given for the output relays in the technical data, for example 100 mA at 24 V
AC/DC.
Output relays, especially power output relays, are designed for breaking
high currents. Due to this, layers of high resistance may appear on the
surface of the contacts. Do not determine proper functionality of
connectivity or contact resistance by measuring with a regular hand-held
ohm meter.

• To check the status of the output circuits driving the output relay via the LHMI, select
Main menu/Tests/I/O modules and then navigate to the board with the actual binary
output to be checked.
• Test and change the relay state manually.
1. To set the IED to test mode, select Main menu/Tests/IED test mode/TESTMODE:1
and set the parameter to On.
2. To operate or force the output relay to operate, select and then navigate to the
board with the actual binary output relay to be operated/forced.
3. Select the BOn_PO to be operated/forced and use and or to operate the
actual output relay.
In PCM600, only the result of these operations can be checked by right-clicking the
product and selecting Signal Monitoring tool and then navigating to the actual I/O-
board and the binary input in question. The activated output signal is indicated with
a yellow-lit diode. Each BOn_PO is represented by two signals. The first signal in
LHMI is the actual value 1 or 0 of the output, and in PCM600 a lit or dimmed diode.
The second signal is the status Normal or Forced. Forced status is only achieved
when the BO is set to Forced or operated on the LHMI.
Set the parameter TestMode to Off after completing these tests. The
Start LED stops flashing when the relay is no longer in test mode.
An initially high contact resistance does not cause problems as it is reduced quickly by the
electrical cleaning effect of fritting and thermal destruction of layers, bringing the contact
resistance back to the mOhm range. As a result, practically the full voltage is available at the
load.
