4.1.3. General Functions
(1) Setting of Operation Current
The operation current settings [A] for overcurrent elements are indicated in 7-seg. LED.
When the setting “Lock”, the elements selected are locked for operation.

(2) Setting of Time Multiplier

The setting of operating time multiplier is indicated as “M” in the characteristic formula shown in section
3.3(2).

(3) Frequency Setting

According to the frequency to be used, rated frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) is set up. Since a relay is initialized
when it changes in service condition, an output is reset and a display is switched off during initialized terms.

(4) Forced Operation

The element of a forced operation can be chosen with a selection switch, and the forced operation for each
contact can be individually carried out by pushing a forced operation button. (A forced operation will be
continued during pushing a forced operation button, and will be returned by detaching button)
A forced operation operates regardless of operation setting value of an element, or time of operation (even if
it is LOCK setting).

Moreover, the display LED of a corresponding element of operation lights up.

In addition, when having set no selection of a forced operation with a selection switch, even if it pushes a
forced operation button, it does not operate.

(5) Operation Indicator

When IDMT overcurrent element operates, according to the phase which operated, LED of A phase, B phase,
C phase and Zero phase are turned on.
When instant overcurrent element operates, according to the phase which operated, LED of A phase, B
phase, C phase and Zero phase are turned on, and also INST. LED is turned on.
The self-hold of the LED lighting at the time of operation is carried out. (Although it will disappear if a power
supply is shut off, it will restore to the original state by the power supply switching on again.)

Release of the self-hold of a display is performed by pushing an indicator-reset button.

Regarding the element with timer, the LED of corresponding item is blinked in the state where the input
exceeds a setting value. (The self-hold of the blinking display is not carried out.)

(6) Indicator Reset

By pushing the indicator reset button, if relay operation is released, self-hold of the operation indicator will be
released and if relay operation is not released, the operation indicator is turned off during only the term of
button pushing.
Also ALARMs in a self-diagnosis indication will be released if ALARMs condition is reset and if ALARMs
condition is not reset, the ALARMs indication will be turned on again after detaching reset button.

(7) Digital Output Contact

As digital outputs, there are for trip contact and for annunciator contacts.
The digital output contacts are depended on the relay element operation. When the relay elements goes to
reset, the digital output contacts are open. (The contacts don't keep a close condition.)

21 / 37 JEP0-IL9540
4.2. Automatic Self-Diagnosis
The automatic self-diagnosis function monitors the electric circuit and built-in power source continuously.
If an abnormal condition occurs, the protection elements will be locked for operation while RUN indicator will go
off and the automatic self-diagnosis output contact will be closed.

In case of WDT error occurrence due to CPU failure, RUN indicator is lit off, ALARM indicator is lit on, alarm
contact is closed and the operation output contact is locked.
At the same time, reset of hardware is carried out to attempt the restart of relay.

If CPU failure is caused by transient faults, the relay can return to normal state by the reset of hardware.
In this case, please note that the alarm will be coming up temporarily and after that automatically alarm will be
turned off.

It is selectable depending on the alarm items if the automatic self-diagnosis contact is hold or not hold.
Regarding the automatic self-diagnosis items –which is suggested by Note 1 in Table 4-1−, it is possible to
automatically return to normal condition according to the setting with the condition of eliminating the cause of
faults.

(1) Holding/Un-Holing Setting for Self-Diagnosis Contact

The automatic self-diagnosis function continues the checking even after acceptance of failure condition.

In case of any failure are not detected by the automatic self-diagnosis function, there are two kind of
indication scheme which are selectable by the setting.
 In case of no HOLD setting: Automatically self-diagnosis contact is released, locking of output contact is
released and RUN indicator is lit on.
 In case of HOLD setting: The self-diagnosis contact is not released, locking of output is continued and
RUN indicator is lit off continuously.

Regarding no marked up items in the following table, the status of the self-diagnosis contact after acceptance
of failure condition is keeping without any change (then never return to normal automatically).

The auxiliary power supply off or pushing the reset button is effective to return the relay to normal status (no
indication of automatic self-diagnosis) with the condition of eliminating the cause of faults.

If no eliminating the cause of faults, the fault status will continue.

<NOTE>
The factory setting of ALARM HOLD setting is ON (un-holding).

(2) Confirm Error Code

When the self-diagnosis function detects something to error, the error code relating a cause are saved.
This error codes are needed to investigate the error cause and assuming the defective parts.

The error code is not erased even after reset operation of indication or automatically reset.
The erasing of error code can be done by the selector switch setting to error code reset.
When the selector switch set to “ERR. CODE. RESET”, the clear process is started. On the 7-seg. LED, the
bars are appeared at the same time.

<NOTE>
 The error code clear process is completed successfully when the three (3) bars are appeared. When you
would like to CANCEL the error code clear, please change the position of the selector switch to other
position until appearing three (3) bars.
 Please pay attention on this regards that next error code can be memorized and indicated after above
erasing.

The ALARM contact is so configured that
100-125VDC the auxiliary relay can be energized
(“break contact” opened) when normal
result or monitoring is received. That
13 type of contact will allow the relay to
Trip contact X0 continue automatic self-check even

Therefore, the “break contact” is
normally closed when the power is
applied and will be opened after about
50ms. If the auxiliary supply of the
relay and the ALARM contact shares a
same power source, the “break
contact” will be closed temporarily
after the auxiliary supply is turned
52a on.
In the case where the phenomenon stated
in the above would conflict with your
system requirement, it is recommended
E
that the ALARM contact is connected via
TC the time-lag timer as shown in the
N figure in the left.

Fig. 5-5 DC circuit connection diagram

Please also refer to clause 5.2.2(3) and 5.2.2(6).

5.2.2. Precautions for Wiring Work

(1) Fail-Safe Construction
Important facilities should be provided with fail safe measures such as dual system to improve reliability of
the facilities.

(2) Effects of external surge

Some type of surge with a certain condition may inversely affect the relay. Under such situation, it is
recommended that install surge absorbers as a countermeasure.

(3) Auxiliary Power Supply and Black Out

This protection relay does not guarantee correct operation in blackout of AC auxiliary power supply.
To stabilize the auxiliary power line, it is recommended that a stabilized power source equipment (such as
UPS).

(4) Inrush Current of Auxiliary Supply

At the turn-on to start up the protection relay, the inrush current would be appeared.
Please select breakers or fuses for the auxiliary power circuit, considering this inrush current.

(5) Trip Circuit

Digital output contacts (X0) can be used for the trip circuit.
Digital output contacts (X1 to X3) can be used for the annunciator circuit, only.
To connect the pallet contact (52a) of the circuit breaker, the trip contact X 0 should be used.

(6) ALARM Output Circuit

The ALARM output contact (Y) is adopted b-contact. In healthy condition, this contact keeps open.
Normally, this alarm contact opens after 50 ms from the injection of auxiliary power for protection relay.

<NOTE>
In the case of the starting up both the protection relay and the annunciator panel at same time, the
annunciator regarding of this alarm contact (Y) on the protection relay would be indicated during a few
milliseconds.
When user would like to avoid this behavior, the ON delay timer contact should be used for the annunciator
circuit. (See Fig. 5-5 DC circuit connection diagram)

(7) Grounding and Earth Terminal

To make sure of the grounding, the earth terminal located on the back side should be connect with the
Class D earth wiring method (grounding resistance less than 100 ohm).

“Relationship between Setting Number and IDMT Curve”.

(2) Real-Time Measurement [MEASURE]

Relay input voltage value for every phase is calculated with using analog input value.
The display range is up to 99.9 A from 0.1 A and for more than 100.0 A, the overflow (O. F.) is indicated.
Input under 0.1 A : zero is displayed
Inputs 0.1 A~99.9 A : 0.1 A step
Input More than 100.0 A : O.F. is displayed

(3) Starting Display

For the time-delayed elements, the elapsed time of the internal operation timer is indicated in the display. As
the elapsed time is counted, operators may imagine the current status of the electromagnetic mechanical
induction disc, which will help detect the starting value.
When an input current is detected to have reached the operation setting or more, “0” will appear in the
display. Counting will be made by dividing the operation time equally into ten parts and starting from “1”, “2”
to “9” and “10”. An operation signal will be output as soon as the counter reaches “10”.

(4) Forced-Operation Setup

The element (contact) which carries out a forced operation is chosen. An actual forced operation is
performed on the conditions which pushed the forced-operation button.
The correspondence with the sign and element (contact) which are displayed is as follows.

(5) Error Code
The error code when the ALARM occur is memorized, and the code number is displayed.
More details, refer to clause 4.2.

(6) Error Code Reset

In case of eliminating the memorized error code when the ALARMs occur, the selection switch put to error
code reset.
The check time for about 5 seconds is prepared so that error code may not be eliminated, even if makes it
this position temporarily.
If the error code memorized first is displayed and a display disappears after about 5 seconds, it will be the
completion of elimination.
More details, refer to clause 4.2.

8. Test
The relay has been fully tested before shipment.
However, it is recommended to carry out a test again by referring to the following test guide before use.

8.1. Appearance Test

Check the relay for appearance according to the following procedure:
Objects Check points
Coil/conductor Discoloring and burning due to overheat.
Abnormal conditions including loosened screws.
Printed card Discoloring of the printed card due to overheated parts.
Contact between the printed card and connector
Unit Mechanism Deformation
Operation of the operating key switches.
Damage of the draw-out lever of the sub unit.
Discoloring and deformation of the name plate on the front panel.
Damage of the terminal section.
Case/cover Damage of the cover.
Stain of the cover.
Clouding of the cover.
Damage of the lock lever of the cover.
Damage of the operating buttons of the cover.
Operation of the operating buttons of the cover.
Damage of the terminal section.
Others Invasion of foreign matters including dust and iron chips.

8.2. Characteristic Test

8.2.1. Precautions in Testing
(1) Standard test conditions
Ensure the following test conditions whenever possible:
Note that carrying out a test under an environment that significantly differs from the following
conditions may produce an incorrect result.
- Ambient temperature : 20°C±10°C
- Rated frequency : ± 5%
- Waveform (AC) : 2% (distortion ratio)
- Auxiliary power supply voltage : rated voltage ±2%
(2) Characteristic control point
See the chapter 3 “Characteristics”.
The characteristic control point refers to the characteristic of a relay unit only. Note that, when a
characteristic test is carried out on a relay system connected with external equipment such as VT, the result
obtained would be a combined characteristic added with the fluctuation of the external equipment.
For special control in terms of a specific control point (for instance, using the operation setting), first
carry out a test at “Characteristic control point” at the time when the relay is received or put in service to
determine the acceptance/rejection. Thereafter, perform another test at each control point, so that the data
obtained can be used for future reference.
(3) Changing setting
Change the setting according to the chapter 6 “Handling”.
(4) Operation judgment
Determine the operation voltage and time and other values of the relay unit basically by turning on
and off the corresponding output relay contact of each element.
