TESTING CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS

Otherwise, the UR remains fully operational while in the Forcible test mode, allowing for various testing procedures. In
particular, the protection and control elements, and FlexLogic function normally. Other than the IEC 61850 protocol,
communications based inputs and outputs remain fully operational. The test procedure must take this into account. Direct
I/O channel tests and PMU tests are usable on applicable models.
The test mode can be selected either through the front panel, through EnerVista UR Setup, or through IEC 61850 control to
LLN0.Mod. LLN0.Mod.ctlVal "on" selects Disabled, "test/blocked" selects Isolated, and "test" selects Forcible. The

FUNCTION
setting can only be changed by a direct user command. Following a restart, power up, settings upload, or
firmware upgrade, the test mode remains at the last programmed value. This allows a UR that has been placed in isolated
mode to remain isolated during testing and maintenance activities.
5.9.2 Test mode forcing
SETTINGS TESTING TEST MODE FORCING
When in Forcible mode, the operand selected by the
TEST MODE FORCING setting dictates further response of the B90 to
testing conditions, as described in the following two sections.
The test mode state is indicated on the relay front panel by a combination of the Test Mode LED indicator, the In-Service
LED indicator, and by the critical fail relay, as shown in the following table.
Table 5-31: Test mode operation
5.9.3 Force contact inputs
SETTINGS TESTING FORCE CONTACT INPUTS
The force contact inputs feature provides a method of performing checks on the function of all contact inputs.
While in Forcible test mode, the relay contact inputs can be pre-programmed to respond in the following ways:
• If set to “Normal,” the input remains fully operational. It is controlled by the voltage across its input terminals and can
be turned on and off by external circuitry. Select this value if a given input must be operational during the test. This
includes, for example, an input initiating the test, or being a part of a user pre-programmed test sequence.
