Performing a Wiring Check

• Voltage connection Van (4-wire) or Vab (3-wire) is correct. This connection

 

must be properly wired for the wiring check program to work.

 

3-phase system. The system must be a 3-phase system. You cannot

 

perform a wiring check on a single-phase system.

 

• System type. The wiring check can be performed only on the six possible

 

system types: 33W2CT, 33W3CT, 34W3CT, 34W4CT,

 

34W3CT2PT, and 34W4CT2PT (see Table 5–2 on page 38 of the

 

installation manual for a description of system types).

 

• Expected displacement power factor is between .60 lagging and .99

 

leading.

 

• The load must be at least 1% of the CT Primary setting.

 

This wiring error program is based on the assumptions above and based on

 

a typical wiring system, results may vary depending on your system and

 

some errors may not apply to your system. When the wiring test is run, the

 

program performs the following checks in this order:

 

1. Verifies that the system type is one of those listed above.

 

2. Verifies that the frequency is within ±5% of the frequency that you

 

selected in circuit monitor set up.

 

3. Verifies that the voltage phase angles are 120° apart. If the voltage

 

connections are correct, the phase angles will be 120° apart.

 

If the voltage connections are correct, the test continues.

 

4. Verifies that the measured phase rotation is the same as the phase

 

rotation set up in the circuit monitor.

 

5. Verifies the magnitude of the currents to see if there is enough load on

 

each phase input to perform the check.

 

6. Indicates if the 3-phase real power (kW) total is negative, which could

 

indicate a possible wiring error.

 

7. Compares each current angle to its respective voltage.

Running the Diagnostics Wiring Error Test

When the circuit monitor detects a possible error, you can find and correct the

 

problem and then run the check again. Repeat the procedure until no error

 

messages are displayed. To perform a wiring diagnostic test, follow these

 

steps:

 

1. From the Main Menu, select Diagnostics.

 

The Diagnostics menu displays.
