FUSE FAILURE:
a.To make it on, follow the following steps. Open the CAP540
client window. Right click the added relay that is REL53125.1
and click on parameter settings.
Settings>setting
groups>setting
group
N>secondary
system
supervision>FUSE
b. Go to general mode of freja instrument and inject healthy 3

phase voltages (63.5 V) and no current to the relay with freja
(Instrument). For fuse failure pickup due to voltages, just start
decreasing the voltage of one phase. Now the fuse failure will
pick up according to the setting of 3U0> setting value
and X35:5 and X35:1 will get close. Suppose we are injecting
63.5V to all of the three phases and the setting for voltage fuse
failure is 3U0>=10. Then by decreasing the voltage of one
phase up to 57.15V the fuse failure will pickup. This will be
confirmed by contact X35:1 and X35:5 of module no. S29
BO04 which will get close from NO status reference drawing
no. 9030-E-EQ-113 SHEET NO. 222. Do the same procedure
for all three phases one by one.
Page 71 of 111
c. Now for current fuse failure give healthy voltages to three

phases i.e. 63.5V. Now increase the current of one phase more
than the setting value i.e. 3I0>=10. Now decrease the
voltage of one phase less than the setting value for
voltage fuse failure i.e. 3U0>=10. The fuse failure will not
pickup. Now start decreasing the value of current and not
down the current value when X35:5 and X35:1 will get close.
Do the same procedure for all phases for current settings of
fuse failure.
d. Now we will simulate VT MCB TRIP by connecting +R
(X51:1) to X34:1 i.e. BI01 of module no. S29. Now contact
X35:1 and X35:5 of module no. S29 BO04 which will get
close from NO status and also LED no. 6 and 15 will come
and reference drawing no. 9030-E-EQ-113 SHEET NO. 222
Page 72 of 111
3. Checking binary I/O of the relay:
A.
Testing I/Ps:
a. To test the I/Ps of the relay, we will apply 125 volts DC on all
the inputs and by making the relay online through debug mode
in terminal configuration we will observe the color of the
corresponding I/P becoming red from blue.
b. Now we start from the module S13 and its I/P no BI01 that
corresponds to X18:1 and X18:4. Now we will take the 125V
DC from freja. Now we will apply the DC +ve on X18:1 and
ve to X18:4.
c. On main window of CAP540 right click the added relay
(REL50525.1) and single left click on Terminal Configuration.
Page 73 of 111

h. Now we will notice that S13 BI01 will become red. It means
I/P is available on this binary I/P.
Page 76 of 111
i. Now we can check all I/Ps so on and so forth by the same

procedure.
Page 77 of 111
B.
Testing O/Ps:
a. In this test we will check the binary inputs and outputs of the
relay for proper function. Now we will configure an input as
testip. And we will configure all the O/Ps of the relay for
this I/P. It means when ever this I/P will be high all the O/P
contacts will become close from NO. Suppose that we will
configure BI02 of S13 module to testip
b. On the main window (CAP 540 Client) go to the added relay
(REL53125.1) and right click and go to the terminal
configuration.

and make it from OFF to ON and its STOP to the O/P of any
contact keep this on DRY CONTACT and make it from ON to
OFF.
Now as soon as you ON the freja O/P TM200 timer will
start and as soon as the contact picks up the timer will stop.
This way we can measure the P/U time of the contact.
To measure the D/O time of contact, connect the START
contacts of TM200 timer to the freja red & neutral. Make it
on voltage operated and make it from ON to OFF and
its STOP to the O/P of any contact keep this on DRY
CONTACT and make it from OFF to ON.
Start the freja O/P. Now as soon as you STOP the freja O/P
TM200 timer will start and as soon as the contact drops off,
the timer will stop. This way we can measure the D/O time of
the contact.
5. Watch Dog Contact:

a.
Turn off the power supply of relay. Now keep your multi
meter on continuity and connect it with the X18:15 & X18:16.
Now you will observe that this contact is closed. Now make
the power supply ON. Now you will see that continuous beep
will be coming unless the terminal gets start. As soon as it gets
start the beep will be gone, indicating that the relay is healthy.
6. DC Measuring:
a.
Connect in series MM with either X18:17 and R1+ or X18:18

and R1-. Now measure the normal current. Now make the
relay pick up for any fault and again measure DC current.
Page 88 of 111
7. Polarizing voltage Pick up:
1. Polarizing voltage has a default setting of 1% of the

rated voltage that is in our case it will be 0.63V.
2. To check this pick up voltage we will go to freja
instrument general mode 1st page.
3. Here we will make all the three phase voltages 63.5V
with angle of 65 and we will make one phase current
(lets say red) equal to 1A and other two phase currents
equal to zero.
4. Connect multi meter/ buzzer on contacts X21:10 & 14.
As soon as relay will pick up this contact will get close
and buzzer will ring.
5. Now we will press the start button of freja. Though
residual current is more than the pick up value of TEF
function. But since there is no polarizing voltage i.e.
residual voltage so this relay can not pick up.
6. Now you will start decreasing the voltage on one phase
lets say red phase, by doing so we are applying
polarizing voltage. Now the buzzer will start ringing at a
particular value of voltage that in our case will be app.
62.9V.
7. This means that polarizing voltage we applied is 63.5
62.9 = 0.6V which is exactly 1% of our rated voltage
(63.5V)
8. In a similar way you can take as many readings as per
your test format.

8. Instantaneous Over Current

Protection:
1. Right click on the added relay i.e. REL50525.1 and select

Parameter Settings.
Page 90 of 111
2. Now Follow the below sequence and make its Operation

ON and its current value IN to be 75%.
SETTINGS>Setting Groups>Setting Group N>Phase and earth fault
Current>IOC
3. Go to freja instrument general mode and make one phase

voltage e.g. red phase 60 V and rest of the 2 phase voltages
63.5 V and make all phase currents equal to zero. Now
increase one phase current e.g. red phase first. Increase it to
above the set value of IN>> i.e. 75% which means 3.75A
and check the pickup value of current.
4. Our Output trip contacts are module no S15 BO1 X :1 and
X :2. Now you will connect these O/P terminals to M.M.
and make MM on buzzer to see when this contact is picked
up.
Page 91 of 111
5. Now to check its timing you will connect make freja

instrument general mode 1st stage at rated voltage i.e. 63.5V
and zero current in all three phases. And in 2nd stage keep
the voltages at 63.51 and make one phase current greater
than set value i.e. 3.75A e.g. make it 4A. Now start the freja
sequence mode from 3rd page of the general mode. And
connect above mentioned trip contacts of the relay to the
freja I/P contacts.
6. Now in the similar way you can check all the phases and
take all the readings as per your format.

9. Definite Time Non Directional

Over Current Protection:
Parameter Settings.
Page 93 of 111

ON and its current value IN to be 50% and set Time to be 2
sec.
Current>TOC
3. Go to freja instrument general mode and make one phase

voltage e.g. red phase 60 V and rest of the 2 phase voltages
63.5 V and make all phase currents equal to zero. Now
increase one phase current e.g. red phase first (we are
increasing residual current). Increase it to above the set
value of IN>> i.e. 50% which means 2.50A and check the
pickup value of current.
4. Our Output trip contacts are module no S15 BO2 X :3 and
X :4. Now you will connect these O/P terminals to M.M.
and make MM on buzzer to see when this contact is picked
up.
Page 94 of 111
5. Now to check its timing you will make freja instrument

general mode 1st stage at rated voltage i.e. 63.5V and zero
current in all three phases. And in 2nd stage keep the
voltages at 63.51 and make one phase current greater than
set value i.e. 2.50A e.g. make it 3A. Now start the freja
sequence mode from 3rd page of the general mode. And
connect above mentioned trip contacts of the relay to the
freja I/P contacts.
6. Now in the similar way you can check all the phases and
take all the readings as per your format.

10. E/F Communication Scheme:

Parameter Settings.
Page 96 of 111

ON and select the scheme to be blocking and set
coordination Time to be 0.05 sec.
Current>EFC
3. Now go to Freja instrument general mode and inject on

red phase 60 V and other two phases 63.5 V (so that
polarizing voltage is there). Now first inject on red
phase current equal to 1A and other two phases zero at
an (voltage) angle of 65. Since there is no carrier
receive and relay will sense the fault in forward
direction so it will get trip instantaneously with out
waiting for TEF trip time.
4. Our trip contact reference is X18:7 & 8.
5. Now we will simulate the Carrier receive input by
applying positive on X18:3 and negative X18:4 (DC
supply of 125V).
Page 97 of 111
6. Now go to Freja instrument general mode and inject on

red phase 60 V and other two phases 63.5 V (so that
an (voltage) angle of 65. Since there is carrier receive
present and relay will sense the fault in forward
direction so it will not trip instantaneously. And no
Aided trip will be observed.
7. Here we will inject reverse direction fault and we will
observe the carrier sending feature of the relay.
8. Go to Freja instrument general mode and inject on red
phase 60 V and other two phases 63.5 V (so that
an (voltage) angle of 245. Now relay will sense the
reverse direction fault and will send a block signal to
remote end. This Carrier send can be observed by
connecting multi meter/ buzzer on X21:17 & 18 as this
contact will get close from OPEN state.
Page 98 of 111
11. Current Reversal Logic:

Parameter Settings.
Page 99 of 111
2. Now Follow the below sequence and make Current

Reversal Operation ON and set tPickup and tDelay as per
your final settings.
Current>EFCA
3. Go to Freja instrument general mode and on its first page

inject on red phase 60 V and other two phases 63.5 V (so
that polarizing voltage is there) and inject on red phase
current equal to 1A and other two phases zero at an
(voltage) angle of 245. Now go on 2nd page and inject red
phase 60V and other two phases 63.5V and make one
phase current equal to 1A and at a voltage angle of 65.
Now go on 3rd page of freja and press the start button.
Now relay will sense the reverse direction fault in the first
page set duration and then immediately current direction
will get reverse on 2nd page of freja and current reversal
will get activated and it will block the communication
scheme of earth fault for tDelay time.
Page 100 of 111
4. Now you can set the tDelaytime in the parameter setting

tool and observe that no trip will come on contacts no.
X18:7 & 8 for the set delay time.
5. In the similar way you can inject as many different phase
faults as much present in your format.

12. Residual Directional O/C test:

a.
Minimum Operating Current:

Parameter Settings.
Page 102 of 111
2. Got to SETTINGS>Setting Groups>Setting Group

N>Phase and earth fault current>TEF. Here set t1 = 0.0
sec and make all other settings as per final settings.
3. Go to freja instrument general mode and make one

phase voltage e.g. red phase 60 V and rest of the 2
phase voltages 63.5 V. Make voltage angle 65 degree
(characteristic angle). Now increase one phase current
e.g. Red phase current and keep blue and yellow phase
currents at zero A note the value when relay trips.
4. O/P contacts are S15 BO3 X :5 and X :6. Connect MM
(buzzer) to these contacts to see when relay picks up.
5. Repeat same procedure for all the three phases one by
one keeping other two phases at zero current.
Page 103 of 111
b. Start Current for TEF

protection:
Parameter Settings.
Page 104 of 111

3. Now here you will make one phase voltage 60V and
other two phase voltages 63.5V so that polarizing
voltage is there.
4. Now you will inject first on zero degree angle and make
all phase currents equal to zero.
5. Now increase any one of the phase currents (by doing
so we are applying residual current). And note that
multi meter/ buzzer connected on X21:10 & 14 will
operate/ get close on specific current level. Note this
current value.
Page 105 of 111
6. Now to see in which direction relay has been picked up,

right click on the added relay i.e. REL 50525.1 on the
main window of CAP540. And select the terminal
configuration.
7. Enter password that is NEW.
Page 106 of 111
8. Now double click on CURR_PROT worksheet.
Page 107 of 111
9. Now click on DEBUG mode button to make the relay

online.
10. Now when relay will pick up in forward direction TEF-ST

FW will become red. And when relay will pick up in reverse
direction, TEF-ST REV will become red from blue. When
ever relay will pick up in reverse direction, no trip will
come only TEF-ST REV will become red.
Page 108 of 111
11. Now you can inject as many faults as in your firmat in

the similar way.

c.Timing test for TEF:

Parameter Settings.
Page 110 of 111

3. Got to 2nd page of freja instrument general mode. Now

here you will make one phase voltage 60V and other
two phase voltages 63.5V so that polarizing voltage is
there and make the angle 65.
4. Now make the residual current two times the set value
that is in our case make it 1A on red phase first and
make other phase currents equal to zero. Connect the
trip contacts of the freja to X21:10 & 14.
5. Now start the freja and observe the trip time which
should be equal to 1 sec (our set time).
