The presentation will detail system testing methods that include primary current and secondary voltage testing. Specific examples will be drawn from experiences testing flexible, non-communicating loop scheme logic developed by G&W Electric and ComEd.
The presentation will show the progression from testing a single SEL-651R1 recloser control with secondary voltage and current to testing a sample system of five SEL-651R2 controls with five Viper-ST switches. The test system utilized primary current through switches connected via primary cables and secondary voltage following the system topology through auxiliary contacts and low voltage wiring.
The presentation will also detail experiences in migrating from the SEL-651R1 to the SEL-651R2 and propose best practices in developing and testing multiple, similar settings files.
