Monitoring the Tripping Circuit

Presentation

When the TS trip system is energized, it provides constant monitoring of the following:

  • The internal tripping circuit

    .
  • The connection of the internal sensors (internal current transformers, sensor plug, performer plug)

    .
  • The connection of the circuit breaker tripping voltage release (MITOP) to the TS trip system

    .
NOTE: The mechanism is not monitored. It is recommended to perform preventive maintenance as proposed by Schneider Electric.

Availability

Monitoring the tripping circuit function of the TS trip system is available on TS 2.0S, 5.0S, and 6.0S trip system.

Operating Principle: Ready LED

TBD: role of satus bar, role of the Ready LED to indicate status of the tripping circuit TBC with experts
To do: Graphics MVS TS

A. Ready LED

The result of the monitoring is indicated by the ready LED on the front face of the TS trip system, as follows:

  • The ready LED is flashing green: the internal tripping circuit of the circuit breaker is functioning correctly.

  • The ready LED is off:

    • The TS trip system is not powered.

    • Or there is a detected incident in the tripping circuit.

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 TS trip system:

  • Total number of trips

  • The recent trip cause

The tripping data is available with:

  • The EcoStruxure Power Commission software for last 30 trip records.

  • The EcoStruxure Power Device app through NFC communication.
