Relay Messages
Relay Time Delay Satisfied Message
"Relay Aux Time and Device Clearing Time Satisfied."
Description – If a relay has tripped (see just above), then after the relay delay time is satisfied, this message is generated. This notes that a trip signal has been issued to the breaker associated with the relay. This is an informational message only, and in most cases does not signify an error or warning condition.
Note: If relays are tripping that should not be, we suggest a thorough review of the protective device settings through their TCC plots.
Relay Travel Back Message
"Relay Travel Back Complete."
Description – If a relay has tripped and reset (see just above), then it begins traveling back. When the travel back is complete, this message is generated.
Relay Unable to Trip Breaker Message
"Relay Unable to Trip Breaker - Not Defined."
Description – If a relay has tripped and has satisfied all delay times, but cannot find a breaker to trip, then this message will be displayed.
Fix – Make sure that a breaker has been assigned to this relay. In EasyPower, the software is able to look for an associated breaker; however, in some cases this “auto-locate” feature is unable to find the breaker associated with the relay. This is why, as of Version 8.0, a field was added in the Relay - System tab for assigning a breaker to a relay.
Relay Instantaneous Reset Message
"Relay Resetting from Instantaneous Pickup at xx% of Travel."
Description – If a relay has tripped and reset (see just above) when in a definite time (horizontal line trip characteristic) section, then this message is displayed to show the action and to indicate how close the device came to tripping.
