8 (M) requires that a circuit protective device shall not be manually re-energized until a qualified person or persons determines the equipment and circuit can be safely energized....
Guide The initial functional test must be conducted with the lockout relay in an “as-found” condition to prove that a protective relay action actually will trip the lockout relay and that the lockout will trip circuit
Guide When testing relays on energized equipment, safety precautions must be observed. Wear appropriate PPE and use safety gear as required. Check that you are only exposed to
Guide When replacing relays, we frequently discover mis-coordination with the existing system. Figure 3 shows an overlap between multiple relays (S&C to UMA and UMA to FDR) in the system that could result in
Guide When making protection system modifications, attention must be paid to any circuits that may be inadvertently affected by the modification; for example, replacement of an auxiliary relay having
Guide This definition extends to IEEE Device No. 86 (lockout relay) and IEEE Device No. 94 (tripping or trip‐ free relay), as these devices are tripping relays that respond to the trip signal of the
Guide After a circuit is de-energized by a circuit protective device, the circuit may not be manually reenergized until it has been determined that the equipment and circuit can be safely
Guide The basic Energy-Reducing Maintenance Switching design is one that incorporates an additional electronic control circuit that may be separate from the normal instantaneous or short time protection
Guide One approach to test the total protection system is to use primary injection techniques (see appendix H) that trigger protective relays and lockout
Guide Develop and follow a procedure for removing and restoring the protection system. Use training, tagging, or work procedures to reduce the possibility of leaving switches and isolating devices in incorrect
Guide One approach to test the total protection system is to use primary injection techniques (see appendix H) that trigger protective relays and lockout relay, trip circuit breakers, and initiate
Guide Figure 3 shows an overlap between multiple relays (S&C to UMA and UMA to FDR) in the system that could result in the wrong device tripping to protect the circuit.
Guide NFPA 70E 130.8 (M) requires that a circuit protective device shall not be manually re-energized until a qualified person or persons determines the equipment and circuit can be safely
