The VAP6 is a portable unit that can be connected to the VIP 30/35 to carry out simplified testing. The test can be carried out in the following two cases:

• The central unit is already supplied by the sensors or
• The Main unit is not supplied. In this case, the VAP6 batteries supply power to the relay.

The test consists of:

• Injecting a stimulus to simulate a phase fault
• Injecting a stimulus to simulate an earth fault
• Checking tripping

The VAP6 is supplied by batteries. Therefore, the parts of the main unit that run on AC current are not checked using this method (input and supply circuits).

• Electrical Fault Simulation: Simulates phase and earth faults to test and ensure relay performance in real-world scenarios.
• Construction and Installation Verification: Validates the correct functioning of relays during setup before going live.
• Circuit Breaker Testing: Enables trip testing without disrupting the circuit breaker, ensuring safety and efficiency in operations.
• Utility Infrastructure Maintenance: Maintains reliability and integrity of electrical systems for utility providers.
• Educational and Training Use: Provides hands-on experience for students and trainees in controlled environments.
