3.2 General Procedures
The main steps for timing a circuit breaker are listed in Figure 10 below.
Figure 10. DigiTMR General Operating Procedures
NOTE
To reduce the possibility of damaging the DigiTMR due to static discharge in high
voltage substations, it is recommended that one side of the breaker’s bushings be
grounded for the contact channels.
3.3 Timing Breakers in Quick-Shot Mode
The DigiTMR can provide OPEN or CLOSE times only in Quick-Shot Mode. The DigiTMR can
initiate the OPEN or CLOSE tests, and then the test report will show the OPEN or CLOSE coil
current reading and waveform. If the DigiTMR is operated in Quick-Shot mode using the
External Trigger, no coil current reading or waveform will be recorded.
