associated bus-bar(for Main-CB LBB) OR both
the Main-CB (for Tie CB LBB )
In case of half dia, check that the Tie Bay LBB
instantaneously trips the Bus connected to
future bay( also check the wiring)
For bays commissioned in the extension
projects have Tie-LBB wiring changed from
“Tripping the bus” to “Tripping the Main CB”

operation of CB in case CSD is not having the
provision of extraction of DR/graph.

General Check that the two trippings of PRD, Buchlz

etc are wired to two separate relays
