protective relay, the

FAULT

segment flashes in Setup or

Meter mode. After an overcurrent trip, the

FAULT

segment

and the appropriate overcurrent target are displayed in all
modes, without blinking, until cleared.

Long-Time Overcurrent Fault Display

After a long-time overcurrent trip, the trip information
display contains the fault current magnitude at trip, the
phase on which the fault occurred, and the overload (

I>

)

and long-time (

LT

) trip targets. This display is illustrated

in Figure 53.

Figure 53. Trip Unit Status display for long-time overcurrent trip.

Short-Time Overcurrent Fault Display

After a short-time trip, the status display appears as in Fig-
ure 54. The information presented is similar to that in the
long-time overcurrent display, with the short-circuit (

I>>

)

and short-time (

ST

) targets.

Instantaneous Fault Display

The status display for an adjustable instantaneous trip is
illustrated in Figure 55. Because of the fast response of this
function, the Trip Unit displays only the threshold current
for the fault, not the actual fault current nor the phase on
which the fault occurred.

Ground-Fault Display

When a ground-fault trip occurs, the display illustrated in
Figure 56 appears. The fault current is displayed in units
of xCT, the breaker CT sensor rating. Multiply the sensor
rating of the breaker by the displayed fault current multi-
plier to obtain the ground-fault current at trip.

Protective-Relay Fault Display

After a protective-relay trip, the display indicates

FAULT

with a target for the type of relay that initiated the trip.
This is illustrated in Figure 57 for an overvoltage trip. The
targets for the five protective relays are listed in Table 16.

Clearing the Trip Information

Since trip information is stored in nonvolatile memory, the
Trip Unit continues displaying the trip information until it
is manually cleared or a new trip occurs. After the trip
information has been recorded or reviewed, it can be
cleared with the keypad. With the Trip Unit in Status
mode, hold down the

VALUE

key and press the

SELECT

key. The trip information is then cleared and the display
reverts to

STATUS OK

, as in Figure 50.
