When an internal relay fault is detected, relay protection operation is disabled, the green Ready LED begins to flash and the self-supervision output contact is activated.
An indication about the fault is shown as a message on the LHMI. The text Internal Fault with an additional text message, a code, date and time, is shown to indicate the fault type.
Different actions are taken depending on the severity of the fault. The protection relay tries to eliminate the fault by restarting. After the fault is found to be permanent, the protection relay stays in the internal fault mode. All other output contacts are released and locked for the internal fault. The protection relay continues to perform internal tests during the fault situation.
If an internal fault disappears, the green Ready LED stops flashing and the protection relay returns to the normal service state.
The self-supervision signal output operates on the closed-circuit principle. Under normal conditions, the protection relay is energized and the contact gaps 3-5 in slot X100 is closed. If the auxiliary power supply fails or an internal fault is detected, the contact gaps 3-5 are opened.
The internal fault code indicates the type of internal relay fault. When a fault appears, the code must be recorded so that it can be reported to ABB customer service.
