 Measurement

• Measurement Settings configured:

– System Voltage U_sys: 3 – 38 kV, 0.1 kV resolution

– System Frequency F_rated: Auto/50/60 Hz
– LSD Level: 0.5 – 6.0 kV, 0.1 kV resolution
 Data Logging
• Following data is logged in the controller:

– Close/Open (CO) operations log with pre-fault history

– Event Log
– Change Messages Log
– Load Profile
– Lifetime and Fault Counters
 Data Logging: CO Log
• This log registers last 1,000 Close/Open operations of the recloser
– Date and time event registered
– Event title (Open/Closed)
– Source of event
– Relevant state (O1-Lockout, O2, O3, O4 and C1, C2, C3 and C4)
– Critical parameter
– Phase and residual currents at time of initiation of trip command.
• CO log is visible on Operator Panel and in CMS
• Can not be reset from Panel or CMS

 Data Logging: Fault Profile
• Includes records for last 8 protection operations
• Each Record is provided with up to 50 readings of Currents, Voltages,
Frequency and angles. Full list of parameters:
– Ia, Ib, Ic, In, Ua, Ub, Uc, Uab, Ubc, Uca, U1, F, A0 and A1
• Values recorded for each cycle. The record with the highest sequential
number is the time at which the OSM tripped.
• Available for access through PC only
Data Logging: Fault Profile
 Data Logging: Event Log

– Critical parameter
• Event log is visible on Operator Panel and in CMS
 Data Logging: Change Messages Log
• The event log registers up to 1,000 events associated with changes of
settings, protection status, External load status, control mode or erasing
energy meter readings, fault counters readings, CO Operations, event log,
load profile or change messages:
– Date and time registered
