4M200-06 Test Block 4M220-00 Test Plug Application

Test blocks enable test technicians to quickly and safely isolate
protection relays so that test signals may be injected and
system performance verified.

connected to the rear terminals.
The 4M220 test plug locates securely into the test block & can
be retained by two knurled screws.
The 28 ‘finger safe’ test sockets on the 4M220 are divided into
two groups of 14:
> 14 even numbered equipment side BLACK test sockets
> 14 odd numbered live side YELLOW test sockets
Each of these 28 test sockets accepts a 4mm shrouded or
standard type test plug.

Finger Safe Test Sockets Test Plug Insertion
Note the black - even numbered - equipment side sockets.
Note the yellow - odd numbered - live side sockets.
Before use the insulation of the flying leads should be visibly
checked for damage.
Flexible banana test leads with shrouded plugs are
recommended for operator safety. 2.5mm2 multi-strand wire
with PVC insulation is recommended for adequate current
rating and flexibility.
To avoid high voltage shock hazard external CT circuits must

CT Shorting – Manual (External)

It is essential that the sockets of the 4M220 Multi-Finger Test
Plug which correspond to the current transformer (CT),
secondary windings are linked prior to the test plug being
inserted into the test block.
This may be achieved using external shorting link lead to ensure
that CT secondary windings are short circuited before they are
disconnected from the protection relay or scheme, thereby
avoiding dangerously high voltages.
The continuity of the shorting plug / wire links & their state of
insulation should be checked prior to into the 4M200 test block.
The 4M220-00 Test Plug is for use with the 4M200-01 to -09
non-polarized Test Block versions

CT Shorting – Automatic (Internal Links)

The 4M220 may be ordered with internal CT shorting links fitted
to pre-designated positions as follows:
4M220-P7 Can only be used with 4M200-P7 test blocks
Internal shorting links between contacts:

Single Plug
The single plug is the most compact & may be plugged into any
test socket.
Dual Plug
The dual or ‘piggy back’ plug is larger & should be plugged into

emerging from the dual plug should face out from centre of the

Figure 10: Two ended test lead – short - P/N 310-230-075-1
Connecting Multiple Test Leads
Test leads may be linked in a daisy chain arrangement to
perform manual CT shorting as described on page 2. Three (3)
leads are required to short a group of four (4) CT circuits as
follows:
1. Connect the first lead between sockets 21-23
2. Connect the second lead between sockets 25-27
3. Connect the third lead to link the dual plugs in sockets 21-25
An additional lead may be fitted into the third lead dual plug for
a ground connection where required.

4M210 Single Finger Test Plug

The 4M210 may be used to probe an individual test circuit. For
example, a current metering device may be connected across
the 4M210 test sockets and the test plug inserted into a 4M200
CT test circuit so that the current in the CT may be measured.
