PROFILE IP3

Circuit Breaker Analyser

Multiple Trip Coils

PROFILE IP3 - INDEPENDENT POLE & DUAL TRIP COIL

Today many Transmission System Operators (TSO) use Independent Pole Circuit Breakers to

enhance power system stability and reliability. Each pole can be independently tripped and so the

circuit breaker requires three trip coils.

PROFILE IP3 | FEATURES

PROFILE IP3 is designed specifically for circuit breakers with multiple trip coils such as independent

pole and transmission circuit breakers with dual trip coils, provides a unique insight into their true

condition. Capturing the vital ‘first trip’ simultaneously on multiple trip coils, combined with powerful

analysis algorithms, shows how the breaker would perform in a real-life fault situation.

REPLAY PRO

The REPLAY PRO software is an integral part of the

PROFILE IP3 system which enables efficient profile

record storage, retrieval and analysis.

PROFILE IP3 | REPLAY PRO

Key Features Include: • Efficient storage of PROFILE IP3 records

Transmission Circuit Breakers often have dual trip coils to reduce the risk from a single coil

failure. The PROFILE IP3 can be used for both applications by connecting one or two interface

units as shown below.

Figure 1 - Independent Pole Circuit Breaker Online Test

Online Test Schematic diagrams (Figures 1 & 2) show how

the PROFILE IP3 is connected for testing an

independent pole circuit breaker and

transmission circuit breaker with dual trip coils to

capture the first trip operation.

• The DC current flowing through the trip

coils is measured by a Hall-Effect CT and provides analysis of both the trip coils and main mechanism operations

• The voltage probe measurement provides a

clear indication of the condition of the DC battery and associated wiring

• Peg CT’s indicate when the current flowing in each pole has been interrupted, which gives main contact time

A slow tripping transmission

circuit breaker can cause major

disruptions on power networks

resulting in:

• System instability • Widespread loss of supply • Damage to plant • Potential safety issues • CI / CML financial penalties

Conventional testing requires a circuit

breaker to be isolated. However this

first trip operation can often

temporarily clear any slow tripping

problem.

Therefore capturing the first trip

operation is essential for effective

circuit breaker condition monitoring.

The PROFILE IP3 offers a cost

effective solution by enabling:

• Fast and simple online test • Capture vital first trip operation • Simultaneous acquisition of

multiple trip coil profiles • Onsite analysis of breaker defects • Efficiently target critical

resources

PROFILE IP3 is a powerful

diagnostic tool for analysing:

• Main contacts operating time • Auxiliary contacts operating time • ‘Health’ of Close & Trip coils • Condition of DC battery circuit • Auxiliary contact condition

After a ‘First Trip’ test has been completed,

results will be displayed on the PROFILE IP3

as shown below.

The values of the key parameters, such as

Buffer, Acon & Mcon can be individually

selected and displayed for each phase.

Analysing Test Results on PROFILE IP3

effectively manage their assets.

The REPLAY PRO software can be downloaded

from the Camlin Power website to any PC where the

data can be accessed locally or made available to

multiple users on a central server.

• Comparison of the first trip for each coil

with subsequent operations can be done on the PROFILE IP3 and REPLAY PRO.

Offline Test The schematic diagram (Figure 3), shows how the

PROFILE IP3 is connected for an independent

pole Offline Test when the circuit breaker has been

isolated.

The connections for measuring the Main Contact

Time (MCON) are the same for a standard

transmission circuit breaker.

The addition of an offline Interface unit enables DC

current to be injected through each pole of the

circuit breaker.

This enables the main contact and ‘pole-spread’

times to be accurately measured.
