Checking Operation of SDE Fault-Trip Indication Contact

Step

Action

Corrective action

1

With the device in tripped position, check electrical continuity between terminals 81-84 on SDE1 contact.

In case of electrical non-continuity between terminals:

  • For a fixed device, contact your Schneider Electric Services representative.

  • For a drawout device, check that the SDE1 contact operates correctly, as follows:

    1. Put the device in the withdrawn position.

    2. Insert an LV847074SP terminal block at the appropriate location on the device.

    3. Check the electrical continuity directly on the LV847074SP terminal block:

    • If the SDE1 contact operates correctly, replace the auxiliary terminal block installed on the chassis (refer to MasterPacT MTZ1/MTZ2/MTZ3 - Auxiliary Terminals - Instruction Sheet) and do the procedure again with the device in the test position.

    • If the SDE1 contact does not operate correctly, contact your Schneider Electric Services representative.

2

With the device in tripped position, check electrical continuity between terminals 181-184 on SDE2 contact, if installed.

In case of electrical non-continuity between terminals:

  • For a fixed MasterPacT MTZ1 device, contact your Schneider Electric Services representative.

  • For a fixed MasterPacT MTZ2/MTZ3 device: replace the SDE2 contact (refer to MasterPacT MTZ2/MTZ3 - SDE2 Fault-Trip Indication Contact / RES Remote Reset - Instruction Sheet) and do the procedure again.

  • For a drawout device, check that the SDE2 contact operates correctly, as follows:

    1. Put the device in the withdrawn position.

    2. Insert an LV847074SP terminal block in the appropriate location on the device.

    3. Check the electrical continuity directly on the LV847074SP terminal block:

    • If the SDE2 contact operates correctly, replace the auxiliary terminal block (refer to MasterPacT MTZ1/MTZ2/MTZ3 - Auxiliary Terminals - Instruction Sheet) and do the procedure again with the device in the test position.

    • If the SDE2 contact does not operate correctly:

      – For MasterPacT MTZ1, contact your Schneider Electric Services representative.

      – For MasterPacT MTZ2/MTZ3, replace the SDE2 contact (refer to MasterPacT MTZ2/MTZ3 - SDE2 Fault-Trip Indication Contact / RES Remote Reset - Instruction Sheet).

3

Press the closing pushbutton.

  • If the device is configured with the RAR automatic reset option, the device closes.

  • If the device is not configured with the RAR automatic reset option, the device must not close.

If the device does not operate as expected, contact your Schneider Electric Services representative.

4

Press the blue fault-trip reset button on the front cover to reset.

If the blue fault-trip reset button does not reset, contact your Schneider Electric Services representative.

5

Check electrical continuity between terminals 81-82 on SDE1 contact.

In case of electrical non-continuity between terminals, refer to corrective action in step 1.

6

Check electrical continuity between terminals 181-182 on SDE2 contact, if installed.

In case of electrical non-continuity between terminals, refer to corrective action in step 2.

7

Check that the log and the trip/test counter are recorded in control unit log by using display screen or EcoStruxure Power Commission software.

 

8

Checking Operation of Optional RES Remote Reset

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
Take all measures necessary to avoid the risk of electrocution when the external power supply voltage is greater than 30 Vac or 40 Vdc.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Step

Action

Corrective Action

1

With the device in tripped position, press the Remote Reset pushbutton connected to the RES Remote Reset option.

Result: The blue fault trip button on the front cover must return to the reset position, pushed in the device.

If the blue fault trip button remains in the trip position, it can be due to external conditions. Refer to troubleshooting.

If the external conditions are correct:

  • For a MasterPacT MTZ1 device: contact your Schneider Electric Services representative.

  • For a MasterPacT MTZ2/MTZ3 fixed device: replace the RES contact (refer to MasterPacT MTZ2/MTZ3 - SDE2 Fault-Trip Indication Contact / RES Remote Reset - Instruction Sheet) and do the procedure again.

  • For a MasterPacT MTZ2/MTZ3 drawout device, check that the RES contact operates correctly, as follows:

    1. Put the device in the withdrawn position.

    2. Insert an LV847074SP terminal block at the appropriate location on the device.

    3. Apply the RES voltage supply on the LV847074SP terminal block.

    4. Close the device.

    5. Trip the device by launching an automatic trip curve test in EcoStruxure Power Commission software:

    • If the RES remote reset option resets the device, replace the auxiliary terminal block (refer to MasterPacT MTZ1/MTZ2/MTZ3 - Auxiliary Terminals - Instruction Sheet) and do the procedure again with the device in the test position.

    • If the RES remote reset option does not reset the device, replace the RES contact (refer to MasterPacT MTZ2/MTZ3 - SDE2 Fault-Trip Indication Contact / RES Remote Reset - Instruction Sheet) and do the procedure again.
