FORM 6 CONTROL – KMET TEST PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
This procedure uses factory default settings to test the Form 6 control. It does
not test any of the advanced functionality such as, sync-check, Under/Over
Voltage or Frequency tripping.
Please follow all cautions and warnings in the S280-79-1 installation manual.
Before installation on an active feeder, we recommend testing the control with
the desired control settings.
1. INITIAL SETTINGS
1.1. Apply 120 (240) VAC to the control, (Default configuration is B-Phase and neutral –
TB8-3 (hot) and 5 (neutral) Note that your configuration may be different )
1.2. Plug the control battery into the black/red battery connector
1.3. Verify that the control is programmed with the default recloser control scheme
See Procedure “I” , Page 7 of this document
If final testing, use the desired settings
1.4. Disable Sequence Coordination in Normal Profile using PC.
See Procedure “II”, Page 7 of this document
1.5. Enable “Block Cold Load Pickup”
See Procedure “IV” , Page 7 of this document
1.6. Enable “Ground Trip Block“ the Ground Trip Block” LED will be illuminated.
1.7. Set control to “Normal Reclosing” – the “Non Reclose” LED will be will extinguished.
2. BATTERY TEST
2.1. Press the “MENU” button on the front panel of the Form 6 Control
2.2. Scroll down to “BATTERY” and press the ENTER button
2.3. Follow the Battery Test procedure (attached)
2.4. Record Values For Current and Voltage
12
PHASE MINIMUM TRIP
****************
2.13. On the Form 6 Front Panel select “Alternate Profile 1”
2.14. Verify that the Form 6 “Ground Trip Block” LED is illuminated.
2.15. Repeat steps 2.5 to 2.11 for FORM 6 “Alternate Profiles 1, 2 and 3”.
NOTE: If “Cold Load Pickup is enabled, the control will trip on a delayed Time Current Curve, with 2
trips to lockout for 30 seconds after closing the control per the default Cold Load Pickup control
settings. By default it CLPU is blocked in all profiles.
NOTE: If Sequence Coordination is enabled in “Alternate profiles 1, 2 and 3”. Testing minimum trip
values with this function turned ON may result in the Form 6 control skipping past the fast TCC curves
during the minimum trip test and the control will lockout on the delayed TCC. Note that Sequence
Coordination is enabled in all profiles in the default scheme.
NOTE: If the Form 6 control is programmed for “Switch Mode” in any of the 4 profiles, the control will
indicate “Current above minimum trip”, but will not trip.
3.1. Place the control in the “Normal Profile” and “Ground Trip Blocked” OFF
3.2. Set KMET switch S4 to 100 mA range
3.3. Set KMET Variac TR1 to 0
3.4. Set KMET switch S2 to the Fault Test position
3.5. Verify that the FORM 6 phase minimum trip values are higher than the ground trip
values
3.6. Set KMET Phase Selector S5 to “A”
3.7. Press the Form 6 CLOSE Push Button to close the KMET tester.
3.8. Slowly raise TR1 until “Above Minimum Trip” shows on Form 6 control. Control
should trip out for load currents above 55 mA. Record values.
3.9. Repeat steps 3.2 to 3.8 for “Alternate profiles 1, 2 and 3”.
NOTE that by default the control is programmed to trip at 50 milliamps for all profiles.
NOTE: If “Cold Load Pickup is enabled, the control will trip on the delayed TCC, with two trips to
lockout for 30 seconds after closing in the control based on the default Cold Load Pickup settings.
13
4. PHASE TIMING TEST
Note: On newer controls, applying fault current while control is locked out will set the
“Recloser Malfunction” LED. This will not affect testing. To clear, Select Alarms, then
Reset Alarms after all tests are complete.
NOTE: When testing the ground trip timing circuit, the KMET test set
applies a phase-to-ground fault. If the applied fault current exceeds the phase
minimum trip value, the control may time out on the phase time current curve, which
may be shorter than the ground time current curve. For this reason, the FORM 6 phase
minimum trip value should be increased to a higher value while testing FORM 6 ground
trip time current curves. Before testing ground trip timing, increase the FORM 6 phase
minimum trip value to 1600 Amperes with the use of the PC per Procedure III on page
7 of this document.
