Monitoring the Tripping Circuit

Presentation

When the MicroLogic X control unit is energized, it provides constant monitoring of the following:

oThe internal tripping circuit

oThe connection of the internal sensors (internal current transformers, sensor plug, performer plug)

oThe connection of the circuit breaker tripping voltage release (MITOP) to the MicroLogic X control unit

oThe connection of the ENCT (External Neutral Current Transformer)

oThe connection of the earth-leakage (Vigi) sensor

NOTE: The mechanism is not monitored. It is recommended to perform preventive maintenance as proposed by Schneider Electric. For more information, refer to DOCA0099EN MasterPact MTZ - Circuit Breakers and Switch-Disconnectors - Maintenance Guide.

Operating Principle: Ready LED

A   Ready LED

The result of the monitoring is indicated by the ready LED on the front face of the MicroLogic X control unit, as follows:

oThe ready LED is flashing green: the internal tripping circuit of the circuit breaker is functioning correctly

oThe ready LED is off:

oEither the MicroLogic X control unit is not energized. Provide power to the control unit with a Mobile Power Pack. If the ready LED is still off, consult the log of active events at Home > Alarms & History > Alarms to diagnose the situation.

oOr there is a detected incident in the tripping circuit. Consult the log of active events at Home > Alarms & History > Alarms to diagnose the situation.

Circuit Breaker Status

Following the detection of an incident in the tripping circuit the circuit breaker may be tripped or not, depending on the type of incident detected.

Tripping Data and Availability

The following data about the tripping function is logged by the MicroLogic X control unit:

oTotal number of trips

oThe name and date of the most recent trip

The tripping data is available as follows:

oWith EcoStruxure Power Commission software

oOn a remote controller using the communication network
