SECTION 12: MAINTAIN AND TROUBLESHOOT RELAY
RELAY MAINTENANCE TESTING
The maintenance testing philosophy for SEL relays is very simple. Our recommendations aresummarized below:
a. Monitor the relay self-test ALARM contact to ensure that relay problems detected by
the relay itself are quickly noticed and corrected.
b. Review relay generated event reports and SER records following each operation to
ensure that relay and connection equipment performance is nominal.
c. Periodically check relay METER data for sensibility.
d. Periodically perform relay I/O operation checks.
SEL relays use extensive self-testing capabilities that detect and indicate relay problems when
they occur. By monitoring the relay ALARM contact, you are immediately notified when the
relay is out of service and can take appropriate steps to diagnose and correct the problem. Relayfunctions such as the dc monitor function and loss-of-potential function should also be used to
alarm for abnormal conditions and failures that can be detrimental to the protection system
performance if not immediately corrected.
SEL relay reporting functions such as event reports and SER records can quickly indicate
problems with the relay and other connected equipment. Using the event report current, voltage,
and relay element data, you can determine that the relay protection elements are operating
properly. Using the event report input and output data, you can determine that the relay is
asserting outputs at the correct instants and that auxiliary equipment is operating properly. We
recommend you review all relay event reports and perform detailed reviews of reports for
operations that are not nominal.
Periodically verify that the relay is making correct and accurate current and voltagemeasurements by comparing the relay METER output to other meter readings on the protected
generator. Often, simple sensibility checks are sufficient to indicate a serious problem. Relay
calibration can be verified by comparing the relay METER readings to the readings of a
calibrated meter in the same circuit. Due to the hardware design of this relay, typically, the relay
accuracy will not drift gradually, but rather will be obviously erroneous if there is a problem with
the relay data acquisition system.
To verify correct operation of relay output contacts, perform the following steps:
Isolate the relay output contacts from their dc circuits.
Using the Access Level B PULSEcommand or the front-panel CNTRL function, close the
relay output contacts individually (see Section 9: Front-Panel Operationand Section10: Serial Port Communications and Commandsfor more detailed information
regarding use of the contact control functions).
Use a continuity tester to verify that the relay contact closes when commanded.
Return the relay contacts to service in their individual circuits. Perform any additional
desired tests to verify the circuit performance.

To verify correct operation of relay optoisolated inputs, perform the following steps:
1. Isolate the relay optoisolated inputs from their dc circuits.
Using the Access Level 1 TAR command or the front-panel TAR function, monitor the stateof the optoisolated inputs individually while you apply rated dc control voltage to the
rear-panel terminals for each input (see Section 9: Front-Panel Operationand Section
10: Serial Port Communications and Commandsfor more detailed informationregarding use of the contact control functions).
Return the relay optoisolated inputs to service in their individual circuits. Perform any
additional desired tests to verify the circuit performance.
These tests do not need to be performed more frequently than your present protection
maintenance interval. Two- to five-year intervals are acceptable, particularly if relay event
reports are reviewed as suggested above.
RELAY MISOPERATION
In the unlikely event of a relay misoperation, perform the following steps as soon as it is safe andpractical to do so:
1. Do not remove dc power from the relay. If desired, you may isolate the relay contact
outputs.
On a sheet of paper, record the state of the front-panel target LEDs. Also record the contents
of rotating display messages from the front-panel LCD display.
Press the front-panel STATUS pushbutton. If the relay STATUS is OK, continue with Step
4. If STATUS indicates a WARN or FAIL condition, use the Up and Down arrow
pushbuttons and note the failed self-test condition. Contact the factory or your local
Technical Service Center for assistance.
Using a PC, establish Access Level 1 communication with the relay. Using your terminalemulation software text capture facility, open an ASCII text file on your PC disk drive to
record relay data.
With the text file open, execute the relay HISTORYcommand. With the relay response on
the PC screen, note the relay event report numbers associated with the date and time of
the misoperation. If the operation involves optional current differential elements, record
the differential formal event report using EVE DIF n. Use the EVE ncommand to view
and store the event reports of interest. Use the SER command to view and store the relay
sequence of events record for the misoperation. Use the SHO Rcommand to record the
active SER settings. Close the text file. Section 10: Serial Port Communications and
Commandscontains information on establishing serial communications with the relay
and more details on the commands above.
You can view the stored ASCII text file containing the event information using most standard
word processing packages. It is usually helpful to select an 8 or 9 point Courier font to
view or print the event data, as this helps line up the data rows vertically on a page.

Review the event and SER information to determine the cause of the misoperation. Section
11: Event Reports and SER Functionscontains information and examples to assist with
event and SER report review.
SEL Application Engineers are available to assist with this review, if necessary. You may be
asked to describe, fax, or e-mail the relay information you collected in the steps above as
part of this review.
RELAY TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspection Procedure
Complete the following procedure before disturbing the relay. After you finish the inspection,
proceed to the Troubleshooting Procedure.
1. Measure and record the power supply voltage at the power input terminals.
Check to see that the power is on. Do not turn the relay off.
Measure and record the voltage at all control inputs.
Measure and record the state of all output relays.
Troubleshooting Procedure
Al l Front-Panel LEDs Dark
1. Input power not present or fuse is blown.
Self-test failure.
Cannot See Characters on Relay LCD Screen1. Relay is de-energized. Check to see if the ALARM contact is closed.
LCD contrast is out of adjustment. Use the steps below to adjust the contrast.
a. Remove the relay front panel by removing the six front-panel screws.
b. Press any front-panel button. The relay should turn on the LCD back lighting.
c. Locate the contrast adjust potentiometer adjacent to the serial port connector.
d. Use a small screwdriver to adjust the potentiometer.
e. Replace the relay front panel.
Relay Does Not Respond to Commands From Device Connected to Serial Port
1. Communications device not connected to relay.
Relay or communications device at incorrect baud rate or other communication parameter
incompatibility, including cabling error.
Relay serial port has received an XOFF, halting communications. Type Qto send the
relay an XON and restart communications.
