Phase overcurrent
1.
5.
All information concerning the phase overcurrent is grouped together in the upper half of the front panel. The section numbers below are related to the numbering on the drawing shown on page 4.
SI : Standard inverse time. VI : Very inverse time. EI : Extremely inverse time. RI : Specific curve - consult Merlin Gerin DT : Definite time. Off : Low set is disabled.
2.
When the red LED blinks, it indicates that the low set element has picked up. If the current does not decrease below the pick-up level the relay will trip. I For IDMT curves (SI, VI, EI) the LED blinks when the current is greater than 1.2 times the setting current Is. For the IDMT curve (RI), the LED blinks when the current is greater than the setting. For the DT curve, the LED blinks when the I> pick-up setting is exceeded.
6.
The setting is a multiple of Is. It is only active when the low set curve type DT is selected. If the tripping curve is selected with IDMT (selector switch 5 set to SI, VI, EI, RI) the selector switch has no effect.
7.
I
3.
The indicator is normally black and turns yellow when the phase overcurrent has given a tripping order. It stays yellow, even when the relay is de-energised.
In the x10 position, the time delay displayed on switch 7 is multiplied by 10.
4.
9.
The setting depends on the current transformer (CT) used, and the range selected via the connections made to the back of the relay. The scale label inserted should match the CT and range selected. The switch can then be positioned to the primary current magnitude required in amperes.
The high set is chosen as a multiple of the current Is. In the off position, the high set is disabled.

The reset button can be operated with the sealable cover either open or closed. When the button is pressed, the following actions are initiated: I It resets the phase overcurrent and earth fault trip indicators. N.B. If reset is more than 48 hours after the relay has operated and is left without being energised, the VAP6 must be used to reset the trip indicators or the operator must wait for the relay to be re-energised. The two red LEDs light up simultaneously for approximately three seconds to indicate the following: - The relay is energized and the minimum operating current level has been reached. -The relay self testing results are healthy N.B. If one of the two conditions is not met, the indicators do not light up. This function may be used to carry out a basic relay operation test.
The minimum operating current is the phase current required for the relay to be energized and operational. The setting depends on the CT used, and the range selected via the connections made to the back of the relay. The value given on either side of the scale label is the single phase RMS minimum operating current. N.B. Regarding minimum operating current: The VIP 300 does not operate below the minimum operating current level. As a result, if the earth fault setting (Ios) is below the minimum operating current, it will only take effect when there is phase current greater than or equal to the minimum operating current.
E.
The test plug is exclusively designed for connection of the VAP6 which is used for fast, simplified relay testing. The operation may be carried out while the relay is operating since the VAP6 and VIP 300 provide the possibility of testing with inhibition of circuit breaker tripping. Also refer to the testing and commissioning chapter.
VIP 300
The VAP6 is a portable unit which is connected to the VIP 300 to carry out simplified testing. The test can be carried out in the following two cases: - the VIP 300 is already powered up by the sensors (CTs). - The VIP 300 is not supplied. In this case, the VAP6 batteries supply power to the relay.
Indicators
A I On: Indicates that the batteries are operating. Also lights up when the battery test is carried out by pressing battery test. B I Test in progress: Confirms sending of the test stimulus to the VIP 300. C I Trip: Is used to test other relays in the VIP range. It is not to be considered for the VIP 300 test (it lights up for a transient period when the VIP 300 sends a tripping order; whether or not the circuit breaker is inhibited). D I External MITOP output: This feature may be used to connect an external MITOP trip coil which could be used to operate a timer etc. The external coil is triggered at the same time as the circuit breaker MITOP. The trip inhibit button does not effect the external coil.

Batteries:
I The batteries are normally deactivated and are automatically activated when the VAP6 is connected to the VIP 300. They are activated in the following cases: - Pressing the battery test button. - Direct connection to a VIP 300 relay. I To install or change the batteries, open the unit by removing the 4 screws on the bottom of the unit. Be sure to use the correct polarities.

The test may be carried out with or without the relay energised by the Ringmaster current transformers, and all the relay settings are effective. During the test, the relay remains operational and will give a tripping order in the event of a fault, unless the trip inhibit button is pressed and held down.
The test consists of: - Initiation of the VIP 300 self monitoring and diagnostic routine. - Injecting a stimulus to stimulate a phase fault. - Check tripping * The VAP6 is supplied by batteries. Therefore the parts of the VIP 300 that run on AC current are not checked using this method (input and supply circuits). Press the phase overcurrent button to send the test stimulus. - Continue pressing the button throughout the duration of the stimulus. The stimulus represents about 20 times the setting current Is. -The VAP6 test in progress indicator lights up to confirm the sending of the stimulus to the VIP300 relay. - The red I> indicator of the VIP300 blinks during the time relay delay period. - Then the VIP 300 phase trip indicator turns yellow. - The circuit breaker trips if it is not inhibited. *If the phase overcurrent button is held down after tripping, the VIP300 starts the time delay/tripping cycle again; this is normal operation. In that case: - The VAP6 red trip indicator lights up for a transient period each time there is a trip. - Depending on the time delay setting, the VIP 300 red I> indicator may be off or blink rapidly and/or in an irregular manner. Press earth fault to test the relays operation. The stimulus injected is equal to 20 times the setting current Ios. Use the procedure as for the phase overcurrent test. Disconnect the VAP6. In order to save batteries, do not leave the VAP6 connected to the relay unnecessarily.
Connect the VAP6 to the VAP6 test plug. The VAP6 batteries are activated and the on indicator lights up. Press the trip inhibition button if the test should be carried out without tripping the circuit breaker. *Be sure to continue pressing the trip inhibition button throughout the time it takes to send the stimulus.

Factory tests:
All Ringmaster panel types are fully tested before leaving the factory. These tests include the whole protection system including current transformers, wiring harness, relay, trip coil and the circuit breaker itself using primary injection to energise the system. Tripping tests are carried out using different settings for each of the IDMT and DT curves available on the relay. The tripping times are measured with a chronometer and its accuracy is verified against the theoretical times calculated.
Reduced commissioning:
Since the system is fully tested it is only necessary to prove the relay on site at the service settings, therefore reducing commissioning time to a minimum. Once the switchgear has been installed and cabled up, it is impractical or sometimes impossible to carry out injection tests. It is suggested that for commissioning and maintenance purposes either of the following two methods can be used. 1. Simple trip test using the VAP6 test unit (described previously). 2. Secondary injection using standard equipment with an output filter.
Secondary injection:
Testing using secondary injection is used to test the following parts of the protection system: I I I The electronic circuit. The integrity of the power supply of the VIP 300. The link to the mitop trip coil and also the circuit breaker mechanical tripping mechanism. The integrity of the switches on the front panel to ensure they give the correct tripping times for the curves selected.

Pick-up check
- Increase the current slowly until the appropriate LED indicator starts to blink.
2.
Setting check:
- Set the current to be injected ( a true RMS ammeter should be used to measure the current). - The CB should then be closed and the counter/timer reset. The current should then be applied. - When the CB has operated, the applied current should be turned off if not done automatically. - The time shown on the counter display includes the operating time of the circuit breaker (approx. 90mS). The actual relay operating time can then be calculated by subtracting this time from the counter reading.
Note. - No connection should be made to the MITOP trip coil from the secondary injection test set.
