Trip Circuit Supervision Function

Trip circuit supervision is a critical function in a protection

scheme.

Continuously monitors the status of circuit breaker trip

circuits to detect:

ƒ Wiring damage
ƒ Loose terminal screws
ƒ Poorly crimped terminal wiring
ƒ CB coil open circuit
ƒ CB pallet switch misaligned
ƒ Trip circuit supply failure (Blown fuse)
 Trip Circuit Supervision
Options

Integrate into the numeric protection relay:

+ Low cost

- Uses up 2 or more status inputs

Adds back cost
Reduces functionality of protection relay)

- Not fail safe (What failed, the relay or the circuit?)

- Scheme may not supervise entire circuit
- Scheme may not supervise with CB both open and closed
 Trip Circuit Supervision
Options

Stand alone trip circuit supervision relay:

+ Fail safe operation (Detects it’s own failure)

+ Highly reliable
+ Supervision of the complete circuit
+ Supervision with CB in both open and closed state
+ Similar cost to numeric relay solution if status inputs needed

- Adds some cost

- Adds some additional wiring
 1TM
Supervision Relays

The 1TM Series Relays provide fail safe supervision of CB

trip circuits with the CB open and closed:

ƒ Trip supply supervision

ƒ Trip circuit continuity
ƒ Trip coil continuity
ƒ Trip relay circuit and coil continuity

Supervision Relays

A significant safety feature of the 1TM series are the

internal power resistors wired in series with the TCS
circuit.

These act to limit the trip coil supervision current to

well below the circuit breaker trip coil operate current.

This feature ensures there will be no mal operation of

the circuit breaker.
