Eaton E Series User Manual

1 Introduction
The goal of this description is to guide the user quickly through the essential steps required
for commissioning an E-Series protection device.
This document serves as a 󰊟rst introduction for:
• Engineers in the protection 󰊟eld,•
•
commissioning engineers,
•
• people dealing with setting, testing and maintenance of protection and control•
devices,
•
as well as trained personnel for electrical installations and power stations.
•
This document is roughly divided into the following parts:
• The “Quick Start – PowerPort-E” chapter describes what is necessary to establish•
a connection between an E-Series protection device and the operating software
PowerPort-E.
Since operating an E-Series device via HMI can be quite cumbersome this chapter is
recommended for all user types, in particular commissioning engineers.
• The “Quick Start – E‑Series” chapter with all its sub-chapters, o󰊞ers several step-by-•
step tutorials. These introduce you to the basic concepts, with the main priority set
to operations using the HMI (panel) of the protection device.
This chapter is of particular interest for users who want to con󰊟gure and/or operate
an E-Series protection device.
• The “Good to Know” chapter is a collection of tips and hints. With these, we hope to•
help with some of the questions and problems that the Eaton Support is often asked.
• The “How to Con󰊟gure a Protection Device” chapter is a list of aspects which must•
generally be taken into account during the commissioning of an E-Series protection
device, with the main priority set to the use of PowerPort-E as con󰊟guration
software. Please understand that we cannot guarantee for its completeness, nor
can it be a detailed step-by-step description, because the con󰊟guration and
commissioning of a protection device depends on your particular application needs.
Therefore this chapter cannot be more than a set of friendly reminders, targeted at
commissioning engineers.
Of course, this three-fold concept has the consequence that some special topics, e. g.
switchgear devices (Breakers) appear in each of these parts. We therefore recommend that
beginners read this document in its entirety.
This description is not a replacement for the complete manual. For wiring instructions
and complete descriptions of the protective functions, please consult the Technical
Manual.
No part of this manual is allowed to be reproduced or passed on to others in any form, unless
Eaton have approved in writing.
