For intelligent switchgear, the opening time is defined as the duration starting from the moment when the first message carrying the trip command (a GOOSE message in accordance with the IEC61850 series) is received through the interface, with the circuit - breaker initially in the closed position, and ending at the instant when the arcing contacts of all poles are separated.
Regarding the closing time of intelligent switchgear, it refers to the time span from the reception of the first message containing the close command (a GOOSE message following the IEC61850 series) via the interface, while the circuit - breaker is in the open position, to the moment when the contacts of all poles make contact, as illustrated in the figure.
When it comes to time measurements, it is necessary to verify the coherence between the position indication obtained via the serial interface (as shown in the figure) in the secondary system and the actual position of the intelligent switchgear.

For intelligent switchgear, the opening time is defined as the duration from the moment the first message containing the trip command (a GOOSE message according to the IEC61850 series) is received through the interface, with the circuit-breaker initially in the closed position, until the moment when the arcing contacts of all poles are separated.
The closing time for intelligent switchgear is the period from the reception of the first message containing the close command (a GOOSE message according to the IEC61850 series) through the interface, while the circuit-breaker is in the open position, until the moment when the contacts of all poles make contact, as shown in the figure.
When it comes to time measurements, it is necessary to verify the coherence between the position indication obtained via the serial interface (as shown in the figure) in the secondary system and the actual position of the intelligent switchgear.

For intelligente skab, er åbningstiden defineret som den varighed, der starter fra det øjeblik, hvor den første besked, der indeholder afbrydelseskommandoen (en GOOSE-besked i overensstemmelse med IEC61850-serien), modtages gennem grænsefladen, med kredsløbsafbryderen oprindeligt i lukket position, og slutter ved det øjeblik, hvor buekontakterne på alle poler er adskilt.
Angående lukketiden for intelligente skab, refererer dette til tidsrummet fra modtagelsen af den første besked, der indeholder lukningskommandoen (en GOOSE-besked ifølge IEC61850-serien) gennem grænsefladen, mens kredsløbsafbryderen er i åben position, til det øjeblik, hvor kontakterne på alle poler kommer i kontakt, som vist på figuren.
Når det gælder tidsmålinger, er det nødvendigt at verificere sammenhængen mellem positionsindikationen, der er opnået gennem seriel grænseflade (som vist på figuren) i sekundær system, og den faktiske position af intelligente skab.
