Section 8 1MRS758754 B Commissioning Section 8 Commissioning Commissioning checklist Familiarize yourself with the protection relay and its functionality before you start the commissioning work. • Ensure that you have all the needed station drawings such as single line and wiring diagrams.
Section 8 1MRS758754 B Commissioning 8.2.2 Checking CT circuits Check that the wiring is in strict accordance with the supplied connection diagram. The CTs must be connected in accordance with the terminal diagram provided with the protection relay, both with regards to phases and polarity. The following tests are recommended for every primary CT or CT core connected to the protection relay.
Section 8 1MRS758754 B Commissioning Correct possible errors before continuing to test the circuitry. Test the circuitry. • Polarity check • VT circuit voltage measurement (primary injection test) • Earthing check • Phase relationship • Insulation resistance check The polarity check verifies the integrity of circuits and the phase relationships. The polarity must be measured as close to the protection relay as possible to ensure that most of the wiring is also checked.
Section 8 1MRS758754 B Commissioning Authorizations 8.3.1 User authorization The user categories have been predefined for the LHMI and WHMI, each with different rights and default passwords. Passwords are settable for all predefined user categories. The LHMI password must be at least four and WHMI password at least nine characters. The maximum number of characters is 8 for the LHMI password and 20 for the WHMI password.
Section 8 1MRS758754 B Commissioning Setting protection relay and communication 8.4.1 Setting the communication between protection relays and PCM600 The communication between the protection relay and PCM600 is independent of the used communication protocol within the substation or to the NCC. It can be seen as a second channel for communication.
Section 8 1MRS758754 B Commissioning LAN or WAN network In TCP/IP networking, a LAN is often but not always implemented as a single IP subnet. A router connects LANs to a WAN. In IP networking, the router maintains both a LAN address and a WAN address. Design considerations for computer networks cover a wide range of topics including layout, capacity planning, and security.
Section 8 1MRS758754 B Commissioning For more information, see the communication protocol manuals and the technical manual. 8.4.2.1 Serial communication ports and drivers Depending on the hardware configuration, the protection relay can be equipped with one or several UART-based serial communication ports. The communication ports can be either galvanic (RS-485, RS-232) or fiber optic.
Section 8 1MRS758754 B Commissioning In addition to setting the COM parameter, a communication card with many hardware options may also require changing the jumpers on the communication card. Connection of a serial communication protocol to a specific serial port The serial communication protocol (instance) settings include a setting parameter called Serial port n (n = protocol instance number).

Section 8 1MRS758754 B Commissioning After a composition change, an LCT indication is seen on the LHMI at the protection relay startup. The PCM600 reads the changed data from the protection relay. Therefore a connection to the protection relay must be established first. Composition data can be read with PCM600 by enabling LCT during PCM600 installation and activating collection in PCM600 from 'Lifecycle Handling' menu.
