Directive 2004/108/EC) and concerning electrical equipment for use within specified voltage limits (Low-voltage directive 2006/95/EC). This conformity is the result of tests conducted by ABB in accordance with the product standards EN 50263 and EN 60255-26 for the EMC directive, and with the product standards EN 60255-1 and EN 60255-27 for the low voltage directive.

M11727-3 v6 The following sequence is expected when the IED is energized. • The green Ready LEDpicks up instantly flashing and the ABB logo is shown on the LCD. • After approximately 30 seconds, "Starting" is shown on the LCD.
The IED can be equipped with a test switch of type RTXP8, RTXP18 or RTXP24 or FT. The test switch and its associated test plug handles are a part of the COMBITEST or FT system of ABB, which provides secure and convenient testing of the IED.
The verification test is performed together with protection and trip functions. Figure illustrates a suggested testing arrangement, where the circuit-breaker (CB) is simulated by an external bi- stable relay (BR), for example a relay type RXMVB2 or RXMD or Breaker Simulator of ABB. The following manual switches are used: •...
AC or DC transients, high ambient temperatures, and high air humidity always have a certain likelihood of causing damages. Delivered equipment undergoes extensive testing and quality control in the ABB manufacturing program. All types of IEDs and their integral components have been subject to extensive laboratory testing during the development and design work.
The periodicity of all tests depends on several factors, for example the importance of the installation, environment conditions, simple or complex equipment, static or electromechanical IEDs, and so on. The normal maintenance practices of the user should be followed. However ABB proposal is to test: Every second to third year •...
ABB protection IEDs are preferably tested by aid of components from the COMBITEST testing system or FT test systems described in information B03-9510 E. Main components are RTXP 8/18/24 test switch located to the left in each protection IED and RTXH 8/18/24 test handle, which is inserted in test switch at secondary testing.
Inspect the IED visually. • Inspect the IED visually to find any physical error causes. • If you can find some obvious physical damage, contact ABB for repair or replacement actions. Check whether the error is external or internal. •...
