1. General
This user manual describes details of testing Schneider MiCOM P343 B1 relays with the OMICRON
Protection Testing Template. General information on the usage of OMICRON Protection Testing Library
items can be found in the OMICRON PTL user manual.

1.1 Supported Relays

The following relays can be tested with the Protection Test Template:
P343
P344
P345

2. Software and Hardware Requirements

To use this template, you must have a valid test license for the OMICRON Test Universe 3.01 software or
higher versions and the following test modules:
Control Center
Quick CMC
Overcurrent
Pulse Ramping
State Sequencer

Advanced Differential

Any CMC test set which provides 6 current outputs, can be used with this Protection Testing Template.

3. Hardware
There are multiple possibilities of wiring a MiCOM P343 relay to a CMC test set. The advised connections
are shown in Figure 1. These connections are the default settings in the Hardware Configuration of the
PTT.

The Relay Parameter Section of the XRIO Converter includes protection parameters of both supported
and not supported functions.

5. XRIO Converter
The Test Object already contains the Schneider MiCOM P343 B1 XRIO Converter, which includes
setting parameters of the modelled protection relay. The setting parameters are built as an image of the
Easergy Studio V6.0.0 software and the following data models with software version:

The Standard Filter for XRIO Files can be used for importing settings into the Relay Parameter
Section.

Further information about the Additional Information block can be found in the OMICRON PTL user
manual.

6. Specific Protection Tests

In this chapter the specific protection tests, which are not covered by the OMICRON PTT User Manual,
are described.

6.1 Dead Machine Unintentional Energization at Standstill Protection (50/27)

The Dead Machine tripping conditions are tested with OMICRON State Sequencer test module.
The test consists of 13 states divided into four parts:
The first three states are used to test the tolerances of the under voltage release setting value.
This part is created as followed:
o A pre-fault state with nominal voltage is simulated first to reset present trip signals; with
time long enough to reset the function (longer than set parameter Dead Mach tDO).
o Then a pre -energizing condition with voltage above the under voltage release setting
value (including its tolerances) and test time longer than the pickup delay (parameter
Dead Mach tPU) is simulated.
o The following fault condition has a current set above the pickup value (parameter Dead
Mach I>) but should not cause a trip as the voltage in the previous state was too high to
start the function.
The following three states are used to test the pickup delay time (parameter Dead Mach tPU).
This part is created as followed:
o The following fault condition has a current set above the pickup value (parameter Dead
Mach I>) but should not cause a trip as the voltage in the previous state was too high to
start the function.
o A pre-fault state with nominal voltage is simulated first to reset present trip signals; with
time long enough to reset the function (longer than set parameter Dead Mach tDO).
o The pre-energizing state creates voltage below the under voltage release setting value
(including its tolerances) and a test time shorter than the pickup delay time.
o The following fault state condition has a current set above the pickup value, but should
not cause the test time of the pre-energizing condition is shorter than the pickup delay
time.
The next three states test the tolerance of the set current pickup value (parameter Dead Mach
I>). This part is created as followed:
o The same pre-fault condition as in part one and two is used.
o All pre-energizing conditions are fulfilled in this pre-energizing state (test voltage below
the under voltage release setting value [including its tolerances] and test time longer
than the pickup delay)
o In spite of the passed pre-energizing condition the relay should not trip in the fault state,
as the fault current is set below the overcurrent pickup value.
The last three states test the complete inadvertent energizing function condition. All trip conditions
are fulfilled and the trip time is measured and evaluated.

The trip signal is constantly monitored during the test and the test results in the different test states where
the trip signal should not come are evaluated according to values set in the state assessment.

Note: The differential and the distance and under voltage functions have to be blocked before testing the
directional power functionality.

6.2 Field Failure (40)

For testing the field failure function the OMICRON Advanced Distance test modules are used. This
module enables testing of the operating characteristics as well as the trip times of the elements. Two
modules are inserted:
one for the alarm function
one for the tripping elements

Note: No test points are predefined in these modules. Test points shown on following figures can be used
to test set parameters.

Note: If the test current is too high, the module may not execute the test for some points with big
impedances. This test points are out of range and are represented pink colored. In this case remove the
link of the test current and set the ITest manually.
