BACKGROUND
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Conventionally, simulation test kits are widely used in electrical and automation to test different protections. The simulation test kits are used to check performance of a device under different conditions to increase reliability and performance of the device. While testing the device number of records can be saved in a memory for later use. The simulation test kits are coupled to the device such as circuit breakers using connection serial communication cables such as RS232 and RS485, which needs to be done manually. Air circuit breaker (ACB) is used to provide over current and short-circuit voltage protection to electrical device.
[0004] Simulation test kit generally generates analog signals that give input to air circuit breaker (ACB) release to power ON and requires a maintenance person to physically go to each release and connect the simulation test kit to the release, for testing. The ACM further includes an electronic trip unit that continuously monitors current and voltage of bus bar to sense any fault in a system. The electronic trip unit (ETU) acts according to the fault condition to protect the device. One of the examples can include triggering to open the circuit in case of overload. However, sometimes it is not feasible for the maintenance person to be present at all places, this can be due to remote location challenges. This can consume lot of time since it requires the maintenance person to physically go at the location to address the release.
[0005] Therefore, it is desired to have a method of connecting the simulation test kit with the release without requiring any physical connection between the simulation test kit and the release.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0006] A general objective of the present invention is to provide a simulation test kit wireless communication with air circuit breaker.
