Section 1: Introduction
This manual is applicable to the following relays:
7SR224 Directional Overcurrent and Directional Earth Fault Recloser Control Relay
The 7SR224 relay integrates the protection and control elements required to provide a complete recloser control
relay.
The Ordering Options Tables summarise the features available in each model
1.1
The secondary circuit of a live CT must not be open circuited. Non-observance of this precaution can result in
injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
1.2
Where fibre optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed directly. Optical power meters
should be used to determine the operation or signal level of the device.
1.4
External Resistors
Where external resistors are fitted to relays, these may present a danger of electric shock or burns, if touched.
1.3
Front Cover
The front cover provides additional securing of the relay element within the case. The relay cover should be in
place during normal operating conditions.

2.2
Case
The relays are housed in cases designed to fit directly into standard panel racks. The case has a width of 260mm
(E10), 312mm (E12) and a height of 177 mm (4U). The required panel depth for wiring clearance is 242 mm and
287mm to accommodate the bending radius of fibre optic data communications cables for serial ports if fitted.
Relays with IEC 61850 communications option require a depth of 261.5 mm to allow for the communication
module and a clearance from devices fitted below the relay of 75 mm to accommodate fitment of the Ethernet
cables.
The complete relay assembly is withdrawable from the front of the case. Shorting contacts on the rear connection
block in the case ensure that the CT circuits remain short-circuited when the relay is removed. For the IEC 61850
variant options the rear retaining screw must be re-fitted following re-insertion to ensure relay performance claims.
External connections to the rear terminal block are made via M4 screws. Each terminal can accept two 4mm
crimps.
Located at the top rear of the case is a screw clamp earthing point, this must be connected to the main panel
earth.
2.3
Front Cover
With the transparent front cover in place the user does not have access to the push buttons. The front cover is
used to secure the relay assembly in the case and must be refitted after removal for access.
2.4
The relay PSU can be directly connected to any dc supply via a suitably rated fuse from 30V dc to 220V dc.
In the event of the supply voltage level falling below the relay minimum operate level the PSU will automatically
switch itself off and latch out this prevents any PSU overload conditions occurring. The PSU is reset by
switching the auxiliary supply off and on.
2.5
The operator interface is designed to provide a user-friendly method of controlling, entering settings and retrieving
data from the relay.

Chapter 1 Page 10 of 75
Relay Information
Above the LCD three labels are provided, these provide the following information:
1) Product name and order code.
2) Nominal current rating, rated frequency, voltage rating, auxiliary dc supply rating, binary input supply
rating, configuration and serial number.
3) Blank label for user defined information.
A template is available to allow users to create and print customised labels.
PICKUP LED
This yellow LED is illuminated to indicate that a user selectable function(s) has picked up. The LED will self reset
after the initiating condition has been removed.
Functions are assigned to the PICKUP LED in the OUTPUT CONFIG>PICKUP CONFIG menu.
TRIP LED
This red LED is steadily illuminated to indicate that a user selectable function has operated to trip the circuit
breaker. Functions are assigned to the Trip LED using the OUTPUT CONFIG>Trip Contacts setting.
Operation of the LED is latched and can be reset by either pressing the TEST/RESET button, energising a
suitably programmed binary input, or, by sending an appropriate command over the data communications
channel(s).
Indication LEDs
Relays have either 8 or 16 user programmable LED indicators depending upon the variant ordered. Each LED
can be programmed to be illuminated as either green, yellow or red.
LEDs can be designated to indicate operated states of protection elements or binary conditions or to indicate the
starter pickup of protection elements
Configuration options are: Self Reset LEDs
PU LEDs
- illuminate for element pickup before the associated time delay expires
Green LEDs
- illuminate green
Red LEDs
- illuminate red
Yellow LEDs
PU Green LEDs
PU Red LEDs
Chapter 1 Page 11 of 75
Colour selection is achieved by checking (ticking) the appropriate box i.e. red or green. To select yellow, check
both red & green boxes. Functions are assigned to the LEDs in the OUTPUT CONFIG>OUTPUT MATRIX menu.
A single LED can be used to indicate operation of a protection element with one colour whilst also
providing indication of pickup of the element as a different colour.
Each LED can be labelled by withdrawing the relay and inserting a label strip into the pocket behind
the front fascia. A template is available to allow users to create and print customised legends. This
can be found in: -Reydisp Evolution\Help\Open Relay LED Template\Open RM LED Template
Each LED can be user programmed as hand or self resetting. Hand reset LEDs can be reset by either pressing
the TEST/RESET
button, energising a suitably programmed binary input, or, by sending an appropriate
command over the data communications channel(s).
The status of hand reset LEDs is stored by a back up storage capacitor in the event of an interruption to the d.c.
supply voltage so that when the supply is restored the previous indication is repeated.
Standard Keys
The relay is supplied as standard with five navigation / control pushbuttons and 12 programmable function keys.
The navigation / control buttons are used to navigate the menu structure and control relay functions. They are
labelled:
Increases a setting or moves up menu.
Decreases a setting or moves down menu.
TEST/RESET
Moves right, can be used to reset selected functionality and for LED test (at
relay identifier screen).
ENTER
CANCEL.
Used to cancel settings changes and/or move up the menu structure by one
level per press.
NOTE: All settings and configuration of LEDs, BI, BO and function keys can be accessed and set by the user
using these keys. Alternatively configuration/settings files can be loaded into the relay using Reydisp.
2.6
Current Inputs
Four current inputs are provided on the Analogue Input module. Terminals are available for both 1A and 5A
inputs.
Current is sampled at 1600Hz for both 50Hz and 60Hz system frequencies. Protection and monitoring functions of
the relay use either the Fundamental Frequency RMS or the True RMS value of current appropriate to the
individual function.
The waveform recorder samples and displays current input waveforms at 1600Hz (32 samples per cycle at
50Hz).
All phase segregated protection elements and instruments provide output reporting by phase reference Phase A,
Phase B and Phase C. The three current inputs I1, I2 and I3 can be allocated to any arrangement of the phase
references A, B and C by user settings. Any phase segregated binary inputs and outputs must also be mapped to
suit in the programmable input matrix and output matrix user settings. This flexibility allows the 7SR224 to be prewired to the circuit breaker hardware without prior knowledge of the customers phase reference allocation.
Chapter 1 Page 12 of 75
2.7
Voltage Inputs
Four voltage inputs are provided on the Analogue Input module as standard. V1, V2 and V3 inputs are typically
used for the main three phase voltage measurement with the additional input V4 (VX) used for single phase
voltage detection, measurement and the option Check Synchronising function, on the other side of the primary
switching device. Six voltage input models are also available to provide three phase voltage measurement on
both sides of the primary equipment. Voltage inputs V4, V5 and V6 of the 6 VT models are provided mainly for
detection and measurement of voltage and have reduced operating range.
Voltage is sampled at 32 samples per cycle (1600Hz) both 50Hz and 60Hz system frequencies. Protection and
monitoring functions of the relay use fundamental frequency voltage measurement.
The waveform recorder samples and displays voltage input waveforms at 1600Hz (32 samples per cycle at
50Hz).
All phase segregated protection elements and instruments provide output reporting by phase reference Phase A,
Phase B and Phase C. The three voltage inputs V1, V2 and V3 can be allocated to any arrangement of the phase
references A, B and C by user settings. Any phase segregated binary inputs and outputs must also be mapped to
suit in the programmable input matrix and output matrix user settings. This flexibility allows the 7SR224 to be prewired to the circuit breaker hardware without prior knowledge of the customers phase reference allocation.
NB: The Relay has a flat frequency response measuring harmonic currents up to and including the 50th Harmonic
but does not measure the content at the aliasing frequencies i.e. 800 Hz (16th harmonic) + 1600 Hz (32nd
harmonic) + 2400 Hz (48th harmonic).
2.8
Binary Inputs
Chapter 1 Page 13 of 75
2.9
Relays are fitted with 14, 22 or 30 binary outputs. All outputs are fully user configurable and can be programmed
to operate from any or all of the available functions.
The Power Supply module includes the relay basic I/O. The module includes six binary outputs each fitted with 1
contact providing in total 1 x normally closed (NC), 2 x change-over (CO) and 3 x normally open (NO) contacts.
In the default mode of operation binary outputs are self reset and remain energised for a user configurable
minimum time of up to 60 seconds. If required, outputs can be programmed to operate as hand reset.
Alternatively, outputs can be programmed as Pulsed outputs. When operated, these outputs will reset
automatically after a delay of the minimum operating time.
The binary outputs can be used to operate the trip coils of the circuit breaker directly where the trip coil current
does not exceed the 'make and carry' contact rating. The circuit breaker auxiliary contacts or other in-series
auxiliary device must be used to break the trip coil current.
Any BO can be assigned as a Trip Contact in the OUTPUT CONFIG>TRIP CONFIG menu. Operation of a Trip
Contact will operate any LED or virtual assigned from the trip triggered feature in the same menu and will initiate
the fault record storage, actuate the Trip Alert screen where enabled and CB Fail protection when enabled.
When the relay is withdrawn from the case all normally closed contacts will be open circuited. This should be
considered in the design of the control and protection circuitry.

When the device is applied to reverse sequence networks, i.e. A-C-B, the polarizing is corrected internally by the
Gn Phase Rotation setting in the CT/VT ConfigI menu.
The characteristic angle can be user programmed to any angle between -95 and +95 using the 67 Char Angle
setting. The voltage is the reference phasor (Vref) and the 67 Char Angle setting is added to this to adjust the
forward and reverse zones.
The centre of the forward zone is set by (Vref Angle + 67 Char Angle) and should be set to correspond with Ifault
Angle for maximum sensitivity i.e.
For fault current of -60 (I lagging V by 60) a 67 Char Angle of +30 is required for maximum sensitivity
(i.e. due to quadrature connection 90 - 60 = 30).
OR
For fault current of -45 (I lagging V by 45) a 67 Char Angle of +45 is required for maximum sensitivity
(i.e. due to quadrature connection 90 - 45 = 45).

When the 67 2-Out-Of-3 Logic setting is set to Enabled, the directional elements will only operate for the
majority direction, e.g. if IA and IC are detected as forward flowing currents and IB is detected as reverse current
flow, phases A and C will operate forwards, while phase B will be inhibited.

Each shaped overcurrent element 51-n Setting can be independently controlled by the level of measured
(control) input voltage.
For applied voltages above VCO Setting the 51-n element operates in accordance with its normal current setting
(see 3.1.3). For input Ph-Ph control voltages below VCO Setting a multiplier (51-n Multiplier) is applied to
reduce the 51-n pickup current setting.
51-n Multiplier is applied to each phase independently when its control phase-phase voltage falls below VCO
Setting. The voltage levels used for each phase over-current element are shown in the table below. Relays with a

The earth current is measured directly via a dedicated current analogue input.
All measured earth fault elements have a common setting to measure either fundamental frequency RMS, True
RMS current or the derived sum current:
True RMS current: 51/50 Measurement = RMS
Fundamental Frequency RMS current: 51/50 Measurement = Fundamental
Additionally these elements can be selected to operate on a Fundamental Frequency current which is calculated
from the sum of the phase currents, i.e. a Derived quantity. This option should only be used when the fourth
current input is required for connection of a Core Balance Current Transformer to achieve very low earth fault
sensitivity using the 50/51SEF elements.

The setting of each shaped overcurrent element (51-n) can be inhibited and alternative cold load settings (51c-n)
can be applied for a period following circuit switch in.
The Cold Load settings are applied after the circuit breaker has been open for longer than the Pick-Up Time
setting.
Following circuit breaker closure the cold load overcurrent settings will revert to those defined in the Phase
Overcurrent menu (51-n) after either elapse of the Drop-Off Time setting or when the measured current falls
below the Reduced Current Level setting for a time in excess of Reduced Current Time setting.
During cold load settings conditions any directional settings applied in the Phase Overcurrent menu are still
applicable.
A CB Dont Believe It (DBI) condition is not acted on, causing the element to remain operating in accordance
with the relevant 51-n settings. Where the Reduced Current setting is set to OFF reversion to 51-n settings will
only occur at the end of the Drop-Off Time. If any element is picked up on expiry of Drop-Off Time the relay will
issue a trip and lockout.
If the circuit breaker is re-opened before expiry of the Drop-Off Time the drop-off timer is held but not reset.
Resetting the timer for each trip could result in damaging levels of current flowing for a prolonged period during a
rapid sequence of trips/closes.
Cold load trips use the same binary output(s) as the associated 51-n element.

The negative sequence phase (NPS) component of current (I2) is derived from the three phase currents. It is a
measure of the quantity of unbalanced current in the system.
When the device is applied to reverse sequence networks, i.e. 1-3-2, the NPS/PPS sequence is corrected
automatically by the Gn Phase Rotation setting in the CT/VT ConfigI menu.
The 46IT element can be configured to be either definite time lag (DTL) or inverse definite minimum time (IDMT),
46IT Setting sets the pick-up current level for the element.
A number of shaped characteristics are provided. An inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) characteristic is
selected from IEC and ANSI curves using 46IT Char. A time multiplier is applied to the characteristic curves using
the 46IT Time Mult setting. Alternatively, a definite time lag delay (DTL) can be chosen using 46ITChar. When
Delay (DTL) is selected the time multiplier is not applied and the 46IT Delay (DTL) setting is used instead.
The 46IT Reset setting can apply a, definite time delayed or ANSI (DECAYING) reset.
The 46DT element has a DTL characteristic. 46DT Setting sets the pick-up current and 46DT Delay the follower
time delay.

Autoreclose (79)
4.1.1 Overview
A high proportion of faults on an Overhead Line (OHL) network are transient. These faults can be cleared and the
network restored quickly by using Instantaneous (Fast) Protection trips followed by an automated sequence of CB
reclosures after the line has been dead for a short time. This deadtime allows the fault current arc to fully
extinguish. Typically, this autoreclose (AR) sequence of Instantaneous Trip(s) and Reclose Delays (Dead times)
followed by Delayed Trip(s) provides the automatic optimum method of clearing all types of fault i.e. both
Transient and Permanent, as quickly as possible and achieving the desired outcome of keeping as much of the
Network in-service as possible.
The AR function, therefore, has to: Control the type of Protection trip applied at each stage of a sequence
Control the Autoreclose of the Circuit Breaker to provide the necessary network Dead times, to allow
time for Arc extinction
Co-ordinate its Protection and Autoreclose sequence with other fault clearing devices.
A typical sequence would be 2 Instantaneous+1Delayed+HighSet Trips with 1 sec & 10 sec dead times.
The Autoreclose feature can be switched off if it is not required by the setting:
79 Autoreclose ENABLE/DISABLE (AUTORECLOSE CONFIG menu)
When the Autoreclose feature is enabled by the above setting, it may be switched in and out of service by a
number of methods, these are:
A keypad change from the CONTROL MODE
Customer programmed function key (using Quick Logic)
Via the data communications channel(s),
From a 79 OUT binary input. Note the 79 OUT binary input has priority over the 79 IN binary input - if
both are raised the autoreclose will be Out of Service.
Knowledge of the CB position status is integral to the autoreclose functionality. CB auxiliary switches must be
connected to CB Closed and CB Open binary inputs. A circuit breakers service status is determined by its
position i.e. from the binary inputs programmed CB Open and CB Closed. The circuit breaker is defined as being
in service when it is closed. The in service status has a drop-off delay of 2 sec, this delay is known as the circuit
memory time. This functionality prevents autoreclosing when the line is normally de-energised, or normally open.
Autoreclose (AR) is started by a valid trip relay operation while the associated circuit breaker is in service.
The transition from AR started to deadtime initiation takes place when the CB has opened and the protection
pickups have reset and the trip relay has reset. If check synchronising feature is included, the line or bus voltage
must be detected as dead, unless the Live Line Check setting in the Autoreclose Config menu is set to disabled. If
any of these do not occur within the 79 Sequence Fail Timer setting the relay will Lockout. This prevents the AR
being primed indefinitely. 79 Sequence Fail Timer can be switched to 0 (= OFF).
Once an AR sequence has been initiated, up to 4 reclose operations can be attempted before the AR feature is
locked-out. Number of recloses is determined by 79 Num Shots. Each reclosure (shot) is preceded by a time
delay - 79 Elem Deadtime n - giving transient faults time to clear. Separate dead-time settings are provided for
each of the 4 recloses and for each of the four fault types P/F, E/F, SEF and External.
Once a CB has reclosed and remained closed for a specified time period (the Reclaim time), the AR sequence is
re-initialised and a Successful Close output issued. A single, common Reclaim time is used (Reclaim Timer).
When an autoreclose sequence does not result in a successful reclosure, i.e. if a trip occurs in the Reclaim Time
of the final shot, the relay will raise the 79 Last Trip Lockout output and the relay goes to the lockout state

Autoreclose sequences
The CONTROL & LOGIC>AUTORECLOSE PROTN and CONTROL & LOGIC>AUTORECLOSE CONFIG
menus, allow the user to set independent Protection and Autoreclose sequences for each type of fault i.e. Phase
Fault (P/F), Earth Fault (E/F), Sensitive Earth Fault (SEF) or External Protections (EXTERN). Each Autoreclose
sequence can be user set for up to four-shots i.e. five trips + four reclose sequence, with independently
configurable type of Protection Trip, either Fast (Inst) or Delayed with associated Deadtime Delay time for each
shot. The user has programming options for Autoreclose Sequences up to the maximum shot count i.e.:Inst or Delayed Trip 1 + (DeadTime 1: 0.1s-14400s)
+
The AR function recognizes developing faults and, as the shot count advances, automatically applies the correct
type of Protection Trip and associated Dead time for that fault-type at that point in the sequence.
A typical sequence would consist of two Inst trips followed by at least one combined Delayed + HighSet (HS)
Trip. This sequence enables transient faults to be cleared quickly by the Inst trip(s) and permanent fault to be
cleared by the combined Delayed trip. The delayed trip must be graded with other Recloser/CBs to ensure
system discrimination is maintained, i.e. that as much of the system as possible is live after the fault is cleared.
A HS trips to lockout setting is provided such that when the number of operations of elements assigned as HS
trips reach the setting the relay will go to lockout.
The number of Shots (Closes) is user programmable, note: - only one Shot Counter is used to advance the
sequence, the Controller selects the next Protection characteristic/Dead time according to the type of the last Trip
in the sequence e.g. PF, EF, SEF or EXTERNAL.

79 Retry Enable
Enabled configures the relay to perform further attempts to automatically Close the
Circuit Breaker where the CB has initially failed to close in response to a Close
command. If the first attempt fails the relay will wait for the 79 Retry Interval to expire
then attempt to Close the CB again.
79 Retry Attempts
79 Retry Interval
79 Reclose Blocked Delay If the CB is not ready to receive a Close command or if system conditions are such
that the CB should not be closed immediately e.g. a close-spring is not charged, then
a Binary input mapped to Reclose Block can be raised and the Close pulse will not be
issued but will be held-back. The 79 Reclose Blocked Delay sets the time Reclose
Block is allowed to be raised, if this time delay expires the Relay will go to Lockout. If
Reclose Block is cleared, before this time expires, then the CB Close pulse will be
issued at that point in time. Dead Time + Reclose Blocked Delay = Lockout.
79 Sequence Fail Timer Sets the time that AR start can be primed. Where this time expires before all the AR
start signals are not received i.e. the CB has opened, protection pickups have reset
and the trip relay has reset, the Relay goes to Lockout.
79 Minimum Lockout Delay Sets the time that the Relays Lockout condition is maintained. After the last allowed
Trip operation in a specific sequence the Circuit Breaker will be left locked-out in the
open position and can only be closed by manual or remote SCADA operation. The 79
Minimum Lockout Delay timer can be set to delay a too-fast manual close after
lockout, this prevents an operator from manually closing onto the same fault too
quickly and thus performing multiple sequences and possibly burning-out Plant.
79 Reset LO by Timer
Set to Enabled this ensures that the Lockout condition is reset when the timer expires,
Lockout indication will be cleared; otherwise, set to Disabled, the Lockout condition will
be maintained until the CB is Closed by a Close command.
79 Sequence Co-Ord
When set to Enabled the Relay will co-ordinate its sequence and shot count such that
it automatically keeps in step with downstream devices as they advance through their
sequence. The Relay detects that a pickup has operated but has dropped-off before its
associated time delay has expired, it then increments its Shot count and advances to
the next stage of the autoreclose sequence without issuing a trip, this is repeated as
long as the fault is being cleared by the downstream device such that the Relay moves
through the sequence bypassing the INST Trips and moving on to the Delayed Trip to
maintain Grading margins.
Set to Delayed will inhibit all instantaneous protection elements when Cold Load
settings are being used.
will set such that it will stop the autoreclose sequence before the Deadtime is started if
neither the line nor bus voltages become dead following the trip. This can be used as a
check that the remote end circuit breaker is tripped before proceeding with the
sequence on a ring connected system. If this check is not required, the 79 Live Line
Check setting should be set to disabled.
Chapter 1 Page 43 of 75
79 Check Synchronising during the Deadtime will start the Check Synchronising before the completion of the
deadtime if the dead state of the line or bus becomes live during the deadtime. This
restoration of Live voltage state indicates that the remote end circuit breaker has
reclosed and therefore it is not necessary to delay the CB close until the deadtime
expires. This feature can be disabled if it is not required.
79 LO Line VT Fail
will Lockout the autoreclose feature if the Line voltage is dead whilst the Bus voltage is
live when the circuit breaker is closed.
79 LO Bus VT Fail
will Lockout the autoreclose feature if the Bus voltage is dead whilst the Line voltage is
live when the circuit breaker is closed.
Once lockout has occurred, an alarm (79 Lockout) is issued and all further Close commands, except manual
close, are inhibited.
If the Lockout command is received while a Manual Close operation is in progress, the feature is immediately
locked-out.
Once the Lockout condition has been reached, it will be maintained until reset. The following will reset lockout: -

and close to the Circuit Breaker then there is no point in forcing a number of Delayed
Trips before the Relay goes to Lockout that sequence will be truncated.
79 P/F Delayed Trips to Lockout Sets the number of allowed Delayed trips, Relay will go to Lockout on the last
Delayed Trip. This function limits the number of Delayed trips that the Relay can
perform when the Instantaneous protection Elements are externally inhibited for

These settings allow the user to set-up a separate Autoreclose sequence for external protection(s) having a
different sequence to P/F, E/F or SEF protections. The Blocked setting allows the Autoreclose sequence to
raise an output at any point in the sequence to Block further Trips by the External Protection thus allowing the
Overcurrent P/F or Earth Fault or SEF elements to apply Overcurrent Grading to clear the fault.
Other Protection Elements in the Relay can also be the cause of trips and it may be that Autoreclose is required;
the External Autoreclose sequence can be applied for this purpose. By setting-up internal Quick Logic equation(s)
the user can define and set what should occur when any one of these other elements operates.
Note: If the CB Total Trip Count or the CB Frequent Ops Count target is reached the relay will do one delayed
tip and lockout*.
*NB: If Delayed Trips are not assigned in the AUTORECLOSE PROTN menu the relay will not trip.

4.2
Manual Close
A Manual Close Command can be initiated in one of four ways: via a Close CB binary input, via the data
communication Channel(s), from the relay CONTROL MODE menu or from the relay fascia function keys. It
causes an instantaneous operation via 79MC Close CB binary output, over-riding any autoreclose (AR) sequence
in progress. When check syncronising is used, the manual close operation is performed using mode settings
which are independent of those of the 79 autoreclose.
Repeated Manual Closes are avoided by checking for Positive edge triggers. Even if the Manual Close input is
constantly energised the relay will only attempt one close.
A Manual Close will initiate Line Check if enabled. If a fault appears on the line during the Close Pulse or during
the Reclaim Time with Line Check enabled, the relay will initiate a Trip and Lockout. This prevents a CB being
repeatedly closed onto a faulted line. Where Line Check = DELAYED then instantaneous protection is inhibited
until the reclaim time has elapsed.
Manual Close resets Lockout, if the conditions that set Lockout have reset i.e. there is no trip or Lockout input
present.
Manual Close cannot proceed if there is a Lockout input present.
Manual Close cannot proceed if Hot Line is In. Hot Line must be switched Out before Manual Close will be
successful, then switched back In afterwards if required.
With the Autoreclose function set to Disabled the Manual Close control is still active.
4.3
Synchronising
The optional Synchronising function is used to check that the voltage conditions, measured by the voltage
transformers on either side of the open circuit breaker, indicate that it is safe to close without risk of damage to
the circuit breaker of disturbance to the system. The timing of closure, for charging lines which are dead following
fault clearance, is controlled to co-ordinate with other devices.
The window of time in which voltage conditions must be met is applied as a setting or can be disabled such that
an indefinite period is allowed.
4.3.1
Reclosure Modes
The Synchronising element can be set to allow the autoreclose sequence to proceed for various system voltage
conditions. The voltage conditions selected must be met within the Synch Close Window time which is settable
and starts at the end of the deadtime for autoreclose or the receipt of a Close CB command.
The voltage applied to the V4 input is considered to be the BUSBAR voltage and the voltages applied to inputs
V1,V2 & V3 are the LINE voltage.
79 Dead Bar Charge, when set to Enabled, allows AR to proceed when the Busbar voltage is live and the Line is
dead.
Manual Close DBC, when set to Enabled, allows MC to proceed when the Busbar voltage is live and the Line is
dead.
79 Dead Line Charge, when set to Enabled, allows AR to proceed when the Line voltage is live and the Busbar is
dead.
Manual Close DLC, when set to Enabled, allows MC to proceed when the Line voltage is live and the Busbar is
dead.
79 Dead Line & Dead Bar Close, when set to Enabled, allows AR to proceed when the Line voltage and the
Busbar voltage are dead.
Manual Close DLDB, when set to Enabled, allows MC to proceed when the Line voltage and the Busbar voltage
are dead.
79Check Sync Close, when set to Enabled, allows AR to proceed when both the Line and Busbar are considered
live AND other synchronising requirements are met.
Manual Close CS, when set to Enabled, allows MC to proceed when both the Line and Busbar are considered live
AND other synchronising requirements are met.
79 Unconditional Close, when set to Enabled, allows AR to proceed regardless of the voltage condition of the Bus
or Line.
Chapter 1 Page 48 of 75
Unconditional Manual Close, when set to Enabled, allows MC to proceed regardless of the voltage condition of
the Bus or Line.
Separate Enable/Disable settings are thus provided for each option for Autoreclose and Manual Close.
4.3.2
Charge Delays
Separate delay settings are provided for Dead Line Charge and Dead Bus Charge closure. These are applied
after the autoreclose Dead Time when voltage conditions are checked and met, at the Close Inhibit stage of the
sequence. This feature effectively allows the dead time to be set differently for faults on each side of the recloser.
4.3.3
The single phase voltage source used for synchronising can be selected as any phase to phase or phase to earth
voltage for flexibility. The voltage is compared to the corresponding voltage from the three phase arrangement on
the other side of the circuit breaker. Voltage settings are set as a percentage of the nominal voltage specified in
the CT/VT Config menu.
Voltage detectors
Voltage detectors determine the status of the line or bus. If the voltages on either the line or bus are below a set
threshold level they can be considered to be dead. If the voltages are within a setting band around the nominal
voltage they are classed as live. Independent voltage detectors are provided for both line and bus.
If a voltage is in the dead band range then it will be classed as dead until it has reached the live band area.
Similarly, if a voltage is live, it continues to be live until it has reached the dead band area. This effectively allows
for variable amounts of hysteresis to be set. Figure 4.3-1 illustrates the voltage detector operation.
Note: the area between the dead and live zones is not indeterminate. When any voltage is applied to the relay it
will ramp up the software RMS algorithm and always pass through the dead zone first.
A wide range is provided for live and dead voltage detector levels but the live and dead zones must not overlap.
Under-voltage detectors
The under-voltage detectors, if enabled, can block a close output command if either the line voltage or the bus
voltage is below the under-voltage setting value. Both line and bus have their own independent settings.

close function. Similarly, check synchronising can be overridden by the 79 OS On/Off input during autoreclose.
MOS On/Off can be set by binary inputs, Control commands and the function keys.
For the relay to issue a Check Sync Close the following conditions have to be met :
The Line and Bus voltages must both be considered live.
25 Check Sync Angle the phase difference between the line and bus voltages has to be less than the phase
angle setting value. Whilst within the limits the phase angle can be increasing or decreasing and the element will
still issue a valid close signal.
25 Check Sync Slip Freq, [if enabled] the frequency difference between line and bus has to be less than the slip
frequency setting value.
25 Check Sync Timer, [if enabled] the phase angle and voltage blocking features have to be within their
parameters for the length of the slip timer setting. If either the phase angle or the voltage elements fall outside of
their limits the slip timer is reset. If they subsequently come back in then the slip timer has to time out before an
output is given. (This ensures that a close output will not be given if there is a transient disturbance on the system
due to e.g. some remote switching operations).
25 Line Undervolts, [if enabled] the line voltage has to be above the line under-voltage setting value and also
above 5V for an output to be given.
25 Bus Undervolts, [if enabled] the bus voltage has to be above the bus under-voltage setting value and also
above 5V for an output to be given.
25 Volt Differential, [if enabled] the difference between the line and bus voltages has to be less than
the differential voltage detector setting value for an output to be given.
The synchronising is always started in the Check Synchronising mode of operation and the Check Synchronising
limits are applied. To proceed to System Synchronisation a system split must be detected as described in section

4.3.6
A system split occurs where part of the system becomes islanded and operates separately. Under these
conditions the frequencies of the voltages either side of the breaker are asynchronous and therefore high phase
angle differences can occur as the voltage phasors slip past each other.
The decision to change to System Split settings, apply Close on Zero function, Lockout or ignore, during
autoreclose and manual closing is set separately by the 25 DAR Split Mode and 25 MC Split Mode settings. The
System Split condition is detected when either the measured phase difference angle exceeds the pre-set 25 Slip
Angle value or if the slip frequency exceeds a pre-set 25 Split Slip rate based on the selection of 25 System Split
Mode.
Note : the system split setting is effectively an absolute value and therefore a split will occur at the value
regardless of the direction of the frequency slip e.g. if an angle of 170 is selected, then starting from 0, a split
will occur at +170 or -170 (effectively +190).
If a system split occurs during an autoreclose Check Sync operation, with 25 System Sync set to Enabled, the
following events occur:
A System Split event is recorded.
The split flag can be mapped to an output relay for alarm indication.
The system split LED will stay on for a minimum time, or can be latched using non self reset LEDs.
If the 25 DAR Split Mode is set to CS, Check Sync will continue
If the 25 DAR Split Mode setting has been set to SS, the System Sync function is started.
If the 25 DAR Split Mode has been set to LOCKOUT, then, a system split LED indication is given. The relay will
stay in this lockout mode until one of the following methods of resetting it is performed
1. The relay is reset from Lockout by binary input or a command.
2. The CB is manually closed
4.3.7
If the close conditions of System Sync are not met and a zero slip condition is subsequently detected, by the slip
falling below the 25 Split Slip setting, the relay will exit from System Sync mode and revert to Check
Synchronising mode. The reversion allows the device to use the wider Check Sync parameters, to allow a close
following the restoration of normal operation when the islanded network has been reconnected to the main
network by successful reclosure of a parallel connection.
4.3.8
For the relay to issue a System Sync Close the following conditions have to be met :
Both the Bus and Line voltages must be considered Live by the Voltage Monitoring elements.
25 System Sync Angle the phase difference between the line and bus voltages has to be less than the phase
angle setting value and the phase angle has to be decreasing before the element will issue a valid close signal.
25 System Sync Slip, [if Enabled] the frequency difference between line and bus has to be less than the slip
frequency setting value. Slip frequency must be above the 25 Split Slip setting to avoid reversion to Check
Synchronising conditions. The settings for 25 System Sync Slip and 25 Split Slip must differ by at least 20mHz.
25 System Sync Timer, [if Enabled] the phase angle and voltage blocking features have to be within their
parameters for the length of the slip timer setting. If either the phase angle or the voltage elements fall outside of
their limits the slip timer is reset. If they subsequently come back in then the slip timer has to time out before an
output is given. (This ensures that a close output will not be given if there is a transient disturbance on the
system due to e.g. some remote switching operations).
25 Line Undervolts, [if Enabled] the line voltage has to be above the line under-voltage setting value and also
above 5V for an output to be given.
25 Bus Undervolts, [if Enabled] the bus voltage has to be above the line under-voltage setting value and also
above 5V for an output to be given.
25 Volt Differential, [if Enabled] the difference between the line and bus voltages has to be less than the
detector setting value for an output to be given.
The System Synchronising operation of the relay will only be started after a System Split is detected as described
in section 4.3.6 during an autoreclose or manual close sequence.

If the 25 DAR Split Mode or 25 MC Split Mode is set to COZ the relay will apply a Close On Zero to the respective
closing operation if the synchronising mode changes to System Split. The measured slip frequency and the
measured phase difference are used to provide a Close Pulse which will close the CB when the phase difference
is reducing and timed with the setting 25 CB Close Time such that the instant of closure is when the phase
difference is zero. The slip frequency must be less than the 25 COZ Slip Freq but greater than the 25 Split Slip
setting to avoid reversion to Check Synchronising conditions.
Since this feature is part of the System Synchronising function, 25 System Sync must also be set to Enabled.

Live/Dead Indication
Outputs are provided to identify each voltage input as either Live or Dead using voltage user settings. These
outputs are controlled independently of the 25 Check Synchronising Voltage monitoring elements but operate in
the same way.
Voltage detectors are provided for each phase input A, B, C & X and inputs Y & Z when fitted. If the voltage on
the respective input is below a set threshold level they can be considered to be dead. If the voltages are above
a voltage setting they are classed as live. Independent voltage detectors are provided for both line and bus.
If a voltage is in the dead band range then it will be classed as dead until it has reached the live band area.
Similarly, if a voltage is live, it continues to be live until it has reached the dead band area. This effectively allows
for variable amounts of hysteresis to be set. Figure 4.4-1 illustrates the voltage detector operation.
Note: the area between the dead and live zones is not indeterminate. When any voltage is applied to the relay it
will ramp up the software RMS algorithm and always pass through the dead zone first.
A wide range is provided for live and dead voltage detector levels but the live and dead zones must not overlap.

Circuit Breaker
This menu includes relay settings applicable to both manual close (MC) and autoreclose (AR) functionality.
CB Controls Latched
CB controls for closing and tripping can be latched i.e. until confirmation that the action has been completed i.e.
binary input is edge triggered when latched.
Close CB Delay
The Close CB Delay is applicable to manual CB close commands received through a Close CB binary input or
via the Control Menu. Operation of the 79 MC Close CB binary output is delayed by the Close CB Delay setting.
Close CB Pulse
The duration of the CB Close Pulse is settable to allow a range of CBs to be used. The Close pulse will be
terminated if any protection picks-up operates or a trip occurs. This is to prevent Close and Trip Command pulses
Chapter 1 Page 54 of 75
existing simultaneously. A 79 Close On Fault Output is given if a pick-up or trip operates during the Close Pulse.
This can be independently wired to Lockout.
CB Failed To Open and CB Failed to Close features are used to confirm that a CB has not responded correctly to
each Trip and Close Command. If a CB fails to operate, the AR feature will go to lockout.
79 CB Close Fail is issued if the CB is not closed at the end of the close pulse, CB Close Pulse.
Reclaim Timer
The Reclaim time will start each time a Close Pulse has timed out and the CB has closed.
Where a protection pickup is raised during the reclaim time the relay advances to the next part of the reclose
sequence.
The relay goes to the Lockout state if the CB is open at the end of the reclaim time or a protection operates during
the final reclaim time.
Open CB Delay
The Open CB Delay setting is applicable to CB trip commands received through an Open CB binary input or via
the Control Menu. Operation of the Open CB binary output is delayed by the Open CB Delay setting.
Open CB Pulse
The duration of the CB open Command pulse is user settable to allow a range of CBs to be used.
CB Failed To Open is taken from the Circuit Breaker Failure Element.
CB Travel Alarm
The CB Open/CB Closed binary inputs are monitored. The relay goes to Lockout and an output can be given
where a 0/0 condition exists for longer than the CB Travel Alarm setting.
An instantaneous output is given for a 1/1 state.

The Hot Line function can be used to provide an immediate trip and auto-reclose inhibit for any Overcurrent, Earth
Fault or Sensitive Earth Fault detection. This function is used to increase safety when personnel are working in
the vicinity of live primary equipment.
When Hot Line is enabled, pickup of any 50, 51, 50G, 51G, 50SEF or 51SEF element will cause an instantaneous
trip, bypassing any time delay setting of the element. Any autoreclose sequence will be inhibited and Auto-reclose
Lockout will be raised. This feature is not triggered by pick-up or operation of other protection elements such as
under/over voltage, frequency, thermal or negative sequence overcurrent .
Additionally, when Hot Line is In, Manual Close is inhibited. This can help to prevent unintended energisation of a
dead circuit whilst personnel are working nearby. Hot Line must be switched to Out before the Manual Close
action will be successful.
Hot Line can be configured to be switched In/Out by binary inputs, function keys or by commands via the
communications protocols. There are no other configurable options for Hot Line.

The Quick Logic feature allows the user to input up to 16 logic equations (E1 to E16) in text format. Equations
can be entered using Reydisp or at the relay fascia.
Each logic equation is built up from text representing control characters. Each can be up to 20 characters long.

The counter will either maintain its count value En Counter Reset Mode = OFF, or reset after a time delay:
En Counter Reset Mode = Single Shot: The En Counter Reset Time is started only when the counter
is first incremented (i.e. counter value = 1) and not for subsequent counter operations. Where En
Counter Reset Time elapses and the count value has not reached its target the count value is reset to
zero.
En Counter Reset Mode = Multi Shot: The En Counter Reset Time is started each time the counter is
incremented. Where En Counter Reset Time elapses without further count increments the count value
is reset to zero.

The circuit breaker fail function has two time delayed outputs that can be used for combinations of re-tripping or
back-tripping. CB Fail outputs are given after elapse of the 50BF-1 Delay or 50BF-2 Delay settings.
The circuit breaker fail protection time delays are initiated either from:
An output Trip Contact of the relay (MENU: OUTPUT CONFIG\BINARY OUTPUT CONFIG\Trip
Contacts), or
A binary input configured 50BF Ext Trip (MENU: INPUT CONFIG\BINARY INPUT MATRIX\50BF Ext
Trip).
A binary or virtual input assigned to 50BF Mech Trip (MENU: INPUT CONFIG\INPUT MATRIX\ 50BF
Mech Trip).
CB Fail outputs will be issued providing any of the 3 phase currents are above the 50BF Setting or the current in
the fourth CT is above 50BF-I4 for longer than the 50BF-n Delay setting, or for a mechanical protection trip the
circuit breaker is still closed when the 50BF-n Delay setting has expired indicating that the fault has not been
cleared.
Both 50BF-1 and 50BF-2 can be mapped to any output contact or LED.
If the 50BF CB Faulty input (MENU: INPUT CONFIG\INPUT MATRIX\50BF CB Faulty) is energised when a CB
trip is given the time delays 50BF-n Delay will be by-passed and the output given immediately.

When the optional synchronising function is fitted, the synchronising voltage transformer is utilised to provide an
additional monitoring function to check the validity of the measured line and busbar voltages. When the circuit
breaker is closed, both voltages should be either Live or Dead. If the Bus voltage indicates that the VT is Dead
but the corresponding Line voltage is Live, this raises the Bus VT Fail output. A time delay setting is provided to
avoid spurious operations during transient switching conditions. Additionally, this output can be enabled by a
setting, 79 LO Bus VT Fail, to apply a Lockout signal to the autoreclose function so that a sequence will not be
attempted after a trip occurs if it is known that the voltage measurement is not reliable. A similar setting is
available, 79 LO Line VT Fail, which when Enabled will provide a Lockout for a Line VT failure detected by the
60VTS function.
5.4
CT Supervision (60CTS)
Normally the presence of negative phase sequence (NPS) current in a power system is accompanied by NPS
voltage. The presence of NPS current without NPS voltage is used to indicate a current transformer failure.
The element has a setting for NPS current level 60CTS Inps and a setting for NPS voltage level 60CTS Vnps If
the negative sequence current exceeds its setting while the negative sequence voltage is below its setting for
more than 60CTS Delay then a CT failure output (60CTS Operated) is given.
Operation of the under/over voltage elements can be inhibited from:

With this method the square root of the sum of the squares of the second harmonic in each
phase is compared to each operate current individually.

All phases are inhibited when any phase detects an inrush condition.
An output is given where the measured value of the second harmonic component is above the 81HBL2 setting.

Battery Test
The DC battery voltage is constantly monitored by the relay. The output function Battery Healthy is provided to
indicate that the battery charging system is connected and functioning correctly by measurement of the Float
Charge voltage level and comparison with the minimum float voltage based on the Battery Nominal Voltage
setting.
In addition to this, the relay can be used to apply a loading test to the battery system at a settable periodic
interval. The test sequence is shown below.
If a protection Pickup occurs at any time during the test, the test will be abandoned and the charging system reconnected. The battery voltage level will be maintained such that the Recloser will be capable of normal operation
throughout the duration of the test. Battery tests can be executed at manual request from a binary input or from
the Control Menu of the relay. If the time elapsed since the previous battery test is less than 12 hours, the test will
not execute and Test Aborted will be displayed on the Battery Condition meter.
Chapter 1 Page 65 of 75
5.9
Capacitor Test
The actuator mechanism of the recloser can be driven from a charged capacitor network. The condition of the
capacitors is monitored externally to the relay and the interface to the relay is in the form of two binary signals
which are driven by undervoltage detectors as shown below. These inputs are CapMon Input 1 and CapMon
Input 2.
In the quiescent state, both logical inputs should be in the 1 state and the detection of 0 on both inputs will
trigger the CapacitorSupplyFail output.
In addition to the monitoring during quiescent conditions, the state of the inputs can be monitored to assess
capacitor condition during an externally applied discharge test. When the Cap Element setting is Enabled, the
sequence is executed automatically, 30 minutes after completion of a successful battery test. The sequence can
be started manually on demand by energising the Capacitor Test binary input. If any protection element pickup
occurs at any time during the capacitor test sequence, the sequence will be terminated.

Data Communications
Two serial communication ports, COM1 and COM2 are provided. RS485 connections are available on the
terminal blocks at the rear of the relay (COM1). A USB port, (COM 2), is provided at the front of the relay for local
access using a PC.
Other rear mounted communication ports are available as an optional extra
2x fibre optic communication serial ports with ST connectors (COM 3 and COM 4) plus 1x IRIG B

transmission and application standards for all serial ports and IEC 61850 for Ethernet ports.
For communication with the relay via a PC (personal computer) a user-friendly software package, Reydisp
Evolution, is available to allow transfer of relay settings, waveform records, event records, fault data records,
Instruments/meters and control functions. REYDISP EVOLUTION is compatible with IEC60870-5-103.
Data communications operation is described in detail in Chapter 4 of this manual.

Data Storage
6.4.1
General
The relay stores three types of data: relay event records, analogue/digital waveform records and fault records.
Data records are backed up in non-volatile memory and are permanently stored even in the event of loss of
auxiliary d.c. supply voltage.
6.4.2
Event Records
The event recorder feature allows the time tagging of any change of state (Event) in the relay. As an event
occurs, the actual event condition is logged as a record along with a time and date stamp to a resolution of 1
millisecond. There is capacity for a maximum of 5000 event records that can be stored in the relay and when the
event buffer is full any new record will over-write the oldest. Stored events can be erased from the front fascia via
DATA STORAGE>Clear Events setting or using Reydisp Evolution via Relay > Events > Reset Events.
The following events are logged:
Change of state of Binary outputs.
Change of state of Binary inputs.
Change of Settings and Settings Group
Change of state of any of the control functions of the relay.
All events can be retrieved over the data communications channel(s) and can be displayed in the Reydisp
Evolution package in chronological order, allowing the sequence of events to be viewed. Events are also made
available spontaneously to an IEC 60870-5-103, Modbus RTU, DNP 3.0 or IEC6-870-5-101 compliant control
system.
For a complete listing of events available in each model, refer to Technical Manual section 4 Data Comms.
6.4.3
Waveform Records.
Relay waveform storage can be triggered either after user selected relay operations, from the relay fascia, from a
suitably programmed binary input or via the data comms channel(s). The stored analogue and digital waveforms
illustrate the system and relay conditions at the time of trigger.
In total the relay provides 10 seconds of waveform storage, this is user selectable to 1 record of 10 seconds
duration, 2 records of 5 seconds duration, 5 records of 2 seconds duration or 10 records of 1 second duration.
When the waveform recorder buffer is full any new waveform records will over-write the oldest. The most recent
record is Waveform 1.
As well as defining the stored waveform record duration the user can select the percentage of the waveform
storage prior to triggering.
The waveform recorder samples at a rate of 32 samples per cycle (1600Hz).
Stored waveforms can be erased using the DATA STORAGE>Clear Waveforms setting or using Reydisp
Evolution via Relay > Waveform > Reset Waveform Records.
Chapter 1 Page 69 of 75
6.4.4
Fault Records
Up to ten fault records can be stored and displayed on the Fascia LCD.
Fault records provide a summary of the relay status at the time of trip, i.e. the element that issued the trip, any
elements that were picked up, the fault type, LED indications, date and time. The Max Fault Rec. Time setting
sets the time period from fault trigger during which the operation of any LEDs is recorded.
When examined together the event records and the fault records will detail the full sequence of events leading to
a trip.
Fault records are stored in a rolling buffer, with the oldest faults overwritten. The fault storage can be cleared with
the DATA STORAGE>Clear Faults setting or using Reydisp Evolution via Relay > Data Records > Reset Data
Log Record.
6.4.5
Demand
The Demand / Data log feature can be used to build trend and maximum/minimum demand records. Up to 10,080
individual time stamped records can be stored at a user defined rate e.g. 35 days @ 5 minute intervals and > 1
year @ 1 hour intervals.
Maximum, minimum and mean values of line current, voltage and power (where applicable) are available as
instruments which can be read in the relay INSTRUMENTS MENU or via Reydisp Evolution.
In the menu DATA STORAGE > DEMAND / DATA LOG: The Data Log Period setting is used to define the period between stored samples.
The Gn Demand Window setting defines the maximum period of time over which the demand values are
calculated. A new set of demand values is established after expiry of the set time.
The Gn Demand Window Type is the mode used to calculate demand values and can be set to FIXED or
PEAK or ROLLING: When set to FIXED the maximum, minimum and mean values demand statistics are calculated over
fixed Window duration. At the end of each window the internal statistics are reset and a new window
is started.
When set to PEAK the maximum and minimum values since the feature was reset are recorded.
When set to ROLLING the maximum, minimum and mean values demand statistics are calculated
over a moving Window duration. The internal statistics are updated when the window advances.
The statistics can be reset from a binary input or communication command, after a reset the update period and
window are immediately restarted.
6.4.6
Data Log
The Data log feature can be used to build trend and maximum/minimum demand records. Up to 10,080 individual
time stamped records of each phase current and voltage (where fitted) analogue signal are recorded and stored
at a user defined rate e.g. 35 days @ 5 minute intervals and > 1 year @ 1 hour intervals.
6.4.7
Energy Storage
The measured Power is continuously integrated (over a one-second window) to produce 4 Energy quantities:
Active Export Energy (W)
Active Import Energy (W)
Reactive Export Energy (VAr)
Reactive Import Energy (VAr)
The Direction of Energy transfer is set by: SYSTEM CONFIG> Export Power/Lag VAr. With both Export Power
(W) and Lag VAr (VAr) set to be +ve, the Direction of Energy transfer will follow the IEC convention, as shown in
the figure.

6.4.8
Fault Locator
The relay provides a Single End type fault locator which is able to estimate the fault position using
analogue information measured by the relay at one end of the protected circuit during the short
duration of the fault.
Following relay operation due to a system fault, the fault waveform record is automatically evaluated to
establish the fault type in terms of the phase(s) affected and the relevant current and voltage is used
to calculate the fault impedance. The relay compares this information to a line model based on
characteristic impedance parameters which are input to the relay as settings and provides an output
estimate of the fault location. This data is presented as a percentage of line length or a distance in
miles or kilometres.
The Positive Sequence Impedance on the protected line must be provided to the relay as settings for
impedance magnitude and characteristic phase angle to enable the distance to fault to be calculated.
The Earth Fault return impedance is specified in terms of the ratio of zero to positive sequence
impedance magnitudes and the characteristic phase angle of the zero sequence impedance. The
characteristic angle of the zero sequence impedance is often significantly different to that of the
positive sequence impedance.
When power systems are earthed through compensation (Peterson) coils, the earth fault currents are
extremely low and are not proportional to fault location. Impedance based fault location cannot be
Chapter 1 Page 71 of 75
used for earth faults. Phase to phase fault location can be estimated. On networks of this type it is
possible to have two earth faults on the network simultaneously on different phases of the same circuit
which will appear as a phase to phase fault. This is known as a Cross Country fault. In these cases
the measured impedance cannot give an accurate estimate of the fault condition. The 7SR224
provides detection of this condition using the measured zero sequence voltage to positive sequence
voltage ratio (U0/U1) to allow the possible cross country fault to be reported. This threshold is
adjustable by a user setting.
Fault Location is reported for faults calculated in a zone which extends to 200% of the forward line
impedance and 10% in the reverse direction. High resistance fault results where fault resistance is
calculated as up to 20 times the line impedance are reported. For faults beyond these limits, the
message No Location is reported.
The Fault Location estimation is initiated by operation of the Trip Output. Some protection elements
may be set to provide tripping for system conditions where a fault location is not applicable. The
initiation of the Fault Locator can be inhibited by user settings.
The settings for the Fault Locator are found as a sub-menu in the Data Storage menu
The Fault Locator result data is available in the Fault Data records and can be viewed at the relay
fascia and downloaded from the relay.

Description Of Feature
Figure 1, the purpose is to ensure the automatic restoration of system supply to as many customers as is
possible following the lockout of a source Recloser and de-energisation of a feeder due to a permanent fault. The
resultant permanent loss of supply to healthy sections of the faulted feeder can be avoided by the sequential
closure of the NOP (TIE) Recloser and multiple Line Reclosers to back feed supply and isolate the faulted
section. This sequence can be triggered by Loss Of Voltage to automatically and relatively quickly, restore the
power to healthy sections and thus limit the disruption to Customers and minimising the Customer Minutes Lost
(CML) metric. LOV Automation should be considered as a one shot automated sequence after which, the normal
NOP having been closed, manual operations should be taken to clear the fault and restore the system to its
normal configuration. The LOV Function described does however have the capability of reconfiguration after other
permanent fault(s) occurring, after the first-fault LOV automation sequence, depending on their location within the
system. However, if no manual action is to be taken the increase of load level on the back-feed feeder(s) must be
considered.

Figure 1 and the NOP will be open. All Devices will have the same voltage on their upstream and downstream
sides and voltage will be present on both sides of the NOP (TIE) point. It should be noted that Reclosers at
different points in the system are programmed to give the optimum, different, reaction to Loss Of Voltage and that

their response is not conditional on seeing fault current, only on detection of loss of voltage. An LOV sequence
starts to operate due to prolonged absence of voltage which occurs when a CB or Recloser goes to Lockout after
a persistent fault is isolated from the supply i.e. fault current no longer flows, following a complete but
unsuccessful autoreclose sequence. The actual cause of the fault still remains but is isolated on its normal source
side from the supply and from adjacent feeders by the NOP.
For a fault at the position shown on the Feeder 1- A section, the 1A CB/Source Recloser will go through a
sequence of Fast plus Delayed trips to attempt to clear the fault. For a permanent fault the outcome will be that
1A goes to Lockout and Feeder 1 will be left totally dead. Feeder 1 does however have healthy sections e.g. 1B to
1C and 1C to the NOP which can be given back-feed supply from Feeder 2 if a structured restoration cycle is
initiated by the automatic closure of the NOP. This is achieved as follows;- following the Lockout of the Source
Recloser/CB-1A, the Line Reclosers 1B and 1C will both see permanent Loss Of voltage (LOV), (this may also
have occurred temporarily, more than once during or for the whole, of the 1A recloser sequence).
1B and 1C can be set as type Recloser in the LOV Automation menu. In this case if LOV Recloser Opening in
each is set to Enabled and they see permanent LOV on both sides for more than a user set LOV Action Delay
e.g. 60 seconds, set by the user to cover a complete upstream sequence, then their LOV Elements will each take
action and give a 3 pole Trip output, both 1B and 1C will therefore Trip and Lockout at about the same time.
The NOP, which is set as type NOP (Tie) in the LOV Automation menu, in example 1, will see LOV on its Feeder
1 side and will have normal system voltage available on its Feeder 2 side; if the NOPs LOV Element sees
permanent LOV on either side i.e. lasting for more than a user set LOV Action Delay e.g. 75 seconds to give a
grading margin to allow time for Reclosers 1A and 1B to open at, for example, 60 seconds, then the NOP LOV
Element will take action and issue a NOP Close.
A type NOP (Tie) has separate settings for LOV-A Action Delay and LOV-X Action Delay to allow different delays
to be applied for Loss of voltage action on either side of the Recloser.
For this NOP Close action the NOP Protection must be primed to perform one Fast Protection Line Check Trip &
Lockout, thus, if the NOP closes onto a permanent fault or a fault appears during a set LOV SOTF Time (e.g. 5
seconds), on section 1C then the NOP will perform a Fast Protection Trip & Lockout. If the NOP close is
successful and no fault appears, the C section of Feeder 1 will thus be back-fed. The NOP Line Check mode
must be maintained as Fast Protection during its LOV SOTF Time but must then be changed to Delayed for the
Reclosers LOV Reclaim Time.
Recloser 1C will now see voltage on its downstream side and if that voltage is present for the user set LOV SOTF
Time e.g. 5 seconds, then 1Cs LOV Element in turn will then issue a Reclose and 1C will close. Note that the 1C
Protection will be primed to perform one Fast Protection Line Check Trip & Lockout, thus, if 1C closes onto a
permanent fault, or a fault appears during its set LOV SOTF Time e.g. 5 seconds, then 1C will Fast Protection
Trip and Lockout. If the Recloser close is successful the B section of Feeder 1 will thus be back-fed. The 1C Line
Check mode must be maintained as Fast Protection during its LOV SOTF Time but must then be changed to
Delayed for the Reclosers LOV Reclaim Time.
Recloser 1B will now see voltage on its downstream side and if that voltage is present for the user set LOV SOTF
Time e.g. 5 seconds, then 1Bs LOV Element in turn will then issue a Reclose and 1B will close. Note the 1B
Protection will be primed to perform one Fast Protection Line Check Trip & Lockout thus if 1B closes onto a
permanent fault, or a fault appears during its set LOV SOTF Time e.g. 5 seconds, then 1B will Fast Protection
Trip & Lockout. If the Recloser close is successful then the A section of Feeder 1 will thus be back-fed. The 1B
Line Check mode must be maintained as Fast Protection during its LOV Reclose reclaim Delay but must then be
changed to Delayed for the Reclosers LOV Reclaim Time.
For the example shown 1B will be reclosed onto a permanent fault and will therefore perform its Fast Line Check
Trip & Lockout with 1C now applying only Delayed protection. This will leave the healthy 1B and 1C sections
backfed via the NOP.
As can be seen from the above, the NOP and each Recloser will close sequentially at the User set (e.g. 5
seconds) intervals and each Recloser when it Closes will be primed to perform a single Fast Protection Line
Check Trip & Lockout for its Close whilst all other Reclosers/NOP have had their protection changed from Fast
Protection Line Check Trip & Lockout to a Delayed Line Check Trip & Lockout; this ensures that the Recloser
closing onto a faulted section will trip Fast Protection and clear the fault leaving all the other proven, unfaulted,
sections energised. This mode of operation does impose a fault, which will be cleared by a single high-speed
Fast-Protection Trip, onto an otherwise healthy system but it does result in as much of the System being
maintained in-service as possible.
If, following a Loss of Voltage and LOV Automation initiation, a type Recloser does not see Voltage re-appear on
one side to allow the LOV Automation process to proceed, then on expiry of the LOV Sequence Time i.e. the LOV
Automation time-allowed-to-live timer, the LOV Sequence will be terminated and the Recloser will go to Lockout.
Chapter 1 Page 5 of 12
The NOP and the Reclosers involved in the restoration sequence must have their LOV Reclaim Time settings set
to a longer time, with grading margin > 5 secs, than the maximum time taken for the last Recloser X in the LOV
Sequence to complete its LOV sequence and Reclose, tripping to clear any permanent fault which presents itself
as necessary. This is necessary to ensure that the NOP and all Reclosers, which will see fault current when the
last Recloser in the sequence closes, remain programmed to perform a Delayed Trip without reclose until after all
Reclosers have completed their part in the Automation sequence and the system is restored unfaulted.
Once the NOP and feeder Reclosers have completed their LOV sequences and have LOV Reclaimed then they
must now have co-ordinated grading to be able to deal correctly with a second fault on one of the healthy
sections. This co-ordinated grading, under back-feed conditions following NOP(TIE) closure, is achieved by
programming all the Reclosers in the LOV back-feed loops to be bi-directional, their settings in both directions can
be co-ordinated by a Grading Study to ensure correct grading for faults fed from either the normal Forward or
NOP(TIE) Closed back-feed, Reverse directions.
LOV Element has two main outputs i.e. three pole LOV Trip and three pole LOV Close these can be mapped to
the existing CB Open and 79 AR Close outputs, it is not necessary to create new outputs in the output matrix, all
other outputs are intended for alarm/indication purposes.
It should be noted that in a typical interconnected system at each feeder end there could be up to 3 NOP (TIE) at
that node anyone of which could be closed to back feed supply to that feeder, therefore, there must be a user-set
pecking order. The NOP LOV Action Delay timer User settings with grading margins e.g. 75 s - 80 s - 85 s,
ensures that the optimum reconfiguration of the system occurs but with redundancy built-in to ensure that supply
is restored via a third path should the first or second, choice path not be available or fails, see Figure 2 .

As can be seen the result is that each Feeder can have a preferential first choice, a second choice and third
choice back-feed feeder, the user can set these independently to suit his system. NOP (TIE) to Feeders from
other Sub/Stations will typically always be set to third choice e.g. 85 second Action Delay time. NB the NOP LOV
Automation Action Delay on either side can be set to OFF which means that the User can select NOP LOV Close
so as to supply power in a single first required direction only, not a second.
The bubbles show examples of the flexibility of the grading arrangement at the node on the end of each feeder,
showing how the user can select the 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice back-feed feeders for each feeder. Other
arrangements can be set-up by User. Note the NOP (TIE) feeders between Sub/Stations end up with the same
Action Delay time settings on both sides.
The LOV Automation function can be Enabled or Disabled, by the User setting and can be switched In/Out
dynamically via any Binary Inputs, LOV can also be switched In/Out by Function Key or SCADA General
Commands. LOV is automatically inhibited by Voltage Transformer Supervision if a VTS failure is detected.
For a controller with LOV Plant Device Type set as Recloser to perform its LOV Automation sequence, only the
downstream voltage needs to be monitored and therefore addition primary voltage transformers are not required.
Reclosers should be mounted and connected so that the standard Voltage measuring devices are on the
downstream side as this voltage is monitored for voltage recovery to prompt reclosure. The controller monitors will
respond to voltage restoration on either side of the recloser and therefore connections can be made to the A or
X side.
For a NOP (TIE) to perform its LOV Automation sequence, the voltage levels on both sides of the NOP i.e. both
downstream and upstream voltages, must be monitored. Voltage levels must be continuously monitored as preLOV memory of condition states is necessary.
An LOV close is blocked by the Block Reclose input in the same way as any autoreclose close. The setting of the
Block Reclose Delay should be considered in the setting of the LOV timing.
The LOV function is set to Out by default and must be switched In. The voltages and open/closed state of the
recloser is checked when an attempt is made to switch the function In. A type Feeder or Recloser must be
Closed with voltage present on at least 1 side. A type NOP(Tie) must be Open with Live voltage on both sides.
This condition must be retained for the LOV Primed Time before the primed staus is achieved. The device must
be in the primed state for loss of voltage to start any LOV Action. The enable/disable setting LOV Primed
Interlock can be used to disable the voltage check but the relevant open/closed state is still required. The
NOP(Tie) device includes a LOV Memory Time which provides a reset delay for the primed condition when
voltage conditions of dead both sides is applied. This allows for the fact that during a fault the voltage on the
unfaulted side may be depressed by the proximity of the fault.
The devices can be set to start the LOV sequence from loss of voltage on either all three phases or loss of
voltage on any single phase. The single phase option can be used to restore load on a system where single pole
tripping is permitted.
The LOV system can be set to operate as a single or multi-shot sequence. When selected as Single mode, the
LOV Automation function will be automatically switched Out following a successful or unsuccessful LOV
sequence and the LOV In signal must be raised by the operator before a further sequence will be executed
following a subsequent loss of voltage.

This state diagram shows how the Live Line / Dead Line states correctly mimic the response of a single electromechanical element with high Hysteresis. There can be no mythical third state, where a Line is neither Live nor
Dead, to cause confusion. The User settable limits allow a dead line with high levels of pick-up Voltage due to
mutual or capacitive coupling to remain correctly classified as a Dead Line i.e. one which can be reclosed without
requiring Check Synchronising. As can also be seen the state conditions are robust allowing for severe Voltage
dips caused by faults on a live line without losing the correct Live Line state indication.

This additional functionality is available as an ordering option when required to suit application requirements.
Three pole commands and controls available in the standard controller are replaced by pole segregated inputs.
Operations counters, Circuit Breaker Fail and I2T functions are available on a pole by pole basis, these replace
the standard functionality.
The capacitor test function which is used to test the condition of the capacitor network is duplicated in the
Single/Triple recloser to provide extended functionality for monitoring of the additional capacitor networks to suit
phase segregated Recloser mechanisms. The three capacitor networks are tested simultaneously.
In a system where the three phases of the supply are used independently to provide single phase to neutral
connected loads, the three phases of the Recloser can be tripped and reclosed separately to produce less
interruption to the unfaulted phases and to provide better co-ordination with single phase devices fitted
downstream. This function allows the asynchronous reclosing sequences in the three phases to be controlled by a
single controller device at the point where the three independent single phase reclosers are adjacent, i.e. before
the split point. The controller provides phase segregated protection elements as well as elements such as earth
fault for which the phase selection is not clearly defined. The controller provides logic and settings to allow trip
and reclose of different phase combinations to provide the fastest clearance of faults with minimum system
disruption. Standard 3 pole tripping elements such as voltage elements can be configured to start or lockout the
autoreclose function using quicklogic, virtual I/O and the external AR start input to suit operational requirements.
The practice of single phase HV distribution systems is commonly used in some countries, particularly in rural
areas where loading is light.
The Single/Triple controller has three modes of operation and operation mode can be changed by settings and
relay inputs. This means that the response to a fault can be variable to suit system requirements.
Mode A, 3P Trip 3P LO, allows only three pole tripping and 3 poles are tripped regardless of the fault type, Three
pole Autoreclose can be set to execute for any protection element. The Lockout state applies to all poles. This
allows the recloser to operate as a standard three pole device.
Mode B, 1P Trip 3P LO, allows 1P trips for faults diagnosed as affecting only 1 phase and generated from
elements which will start an autoreclose sequence. For faults detected by these protection elements which are
diagnosed as affecting more than one phase, three pole trips are issued and three pole autoreclose is executed.
Three pole trips are therefore issued for all fault detections for which single pole autoreclose will not return the
recloser to the three poles closed state. Lockout is a three pole condition and logic in the controller ensures that in
this Mode the recloser is never left in a single pole open condition for an extended period. A single pole reclose
sequence in progress will be converted to three pole reclose or terminated by Lockout by the generation of a
three pole trip if a simultaneous fault or fail to reclose occurs.
Chapter 1 Page 4 of 8
Mode C, 1P Trip 1P LO, allows the three poles of the recloser to operate independently for fault detections which
are diagnosed as affecting a single pole only. The Lockout condition on one phase, resulting from a non-reclosing
protection element operation or failure to reclose during a sequence, is independent of the other poles. Single or
two pole Lockout and the accompanying single or two pole open condition is allowed to exist indefinitely and does
not affect the autoreclose sequences subsequently applied to the other pole(s). Fault detections which are
diagnosed as affecting more than one pole will trip and reclose the affected two or three poles.
If Single pole Trip is allowable then each Recloser can each be independently Tripped and Closed as a single
pole Circuit Breaker. In some circumstances all three Reclosers must be Tripped and Closed as a three pole
device. Each Recloser has its own Trip/Close circuits and CB Open/Closed Auxiliary contacts. Each Recloser has
its own Manual Trip & Lockout handle. Each Recloser also has its own external push button switches to provide
local electrical Trip/Close input signals. The I/O matrices and the internal logic of the Single/Triple Controller is
extended, compared to the standard Controller, to include interfaces to suit this additional functionality. The
Controller provides logic and interlocking to ensure that correct operation occurs in all modes.
The controller provides three independent autoreclose elements whose operations are automatically internally
linked and sequences synchronized as applicable to suit the setting selections, type of fault applied and progress
of sequences. Each pole has independent shot counters which are used to select the required deadtime and
control the application of Instantaneous Element Blocks on a pole by pole basis to achieve co-ordination with
other single pole devices in the system.
1.1.1
Mode A 3P Trip 3P LO
Mode A allows the three single pole Reclosers to operate in three pole mode as a standard three pole Recloser.
Protection elements operations are issued to all of the pole segregated trip outputs simultaneously and all
autoreclose sequences are three pole. If any pole goes to Lockout for CB Fail to Close, a three pole trip and
lockout is issued
All Manual Open and Close commands for the Recloser, from binary inputs or via serial comms to the Controller
are simultaneously applied to all three poles. For example, a Open CB A command will open only pole A when
the controller is set in Mode C, but all three phases will be opened if this command is raised when the controller is
set to Mode A.
Although the tripping logic and control functions operate in three pole mode, the operations counters are still
executed on a pole by pole basis. This allows the correct co-ordination with single pole reclose equipment
downstream. Separate counts are recorded for each phase for Phase fault High set and Delayed trips and
checked against the Number of Trips to Lockout settings. The Protection Trip counter which is used to inhibit
Instantaneous protection during Delayed shots is common for all phases and Earth Faults.
1.1.2
Mode B 1P Trip 3P LO
Mode B provides single pole tripping and reclose to minimize disruption to load connected on the unfaulted
phases in a three phase system. Mode B will only allow single pole trips to be issued if autoreclose follows, to
return the recloser to a normal 3 poles closed condition. This mode should be used on a 3 phase system where it
is undesirable to allow the system to have a single pole open for any extended period of time but where a
transient single pole open condition during autoreclose can minimize disruption to supply on the unfaulted
phases.
The operation of any tripping protection element which does not start autoreclose will cause a three pole trip.
Single pole tripping is not allowed if Autoreclose is disabled or switched out. Single Pole tripping is only allowed if
the affected phase can be identified. Earth Fault and SEF elements which are operated by residual current cannot
discern the phase affected by the fault and the operation of these elements must be used in conjunction with
phase element starters to diagnose the faulted phase for single pole tripping.
Two phase tripping is never allowed in Mode B. Any fault detection affecting more than one phase will cause a
three pole trip. If a protection element operates on a second phase during a single pole autoreclose dead time,
the controller will force a three pole trip of the recloser which may be followed by a three pole reclose.
If a single pole autoreclose is not successful, when Lockout is reached, the controller will force a three pole trip of
the recloser.
The External Trip input is assumed to have caused a three pole trip and will start a three pole reclose sequence.
All Manual Open and Close commands for the Recloser, from binary inputs or via serial comms to the Controller
are simultaneously applied to all three poles. For example, a Open CB-A command will open only pole A when
the controller is set in Mode C, but all three phases will be opened if this command is raised when the controller is
set to Mode B.
Chapter 1 Page 5 of 8
The Line Check & Hot Line working functions prevent autoreclose from executing and therefore these functions
also force any affected trip to be three pole only.

1.1.3
Mode C 1P Trip 1P LO
Mode C provides phase segregated control of three independent single pole reclosers. Operation of the single
pole reclosers can be synchronized to suit the applied fault to provide the correct clearance sequence whilst
retaining the ability to provide independent single pole sequences running concurrently for separate coincident
faults on different poles.
Any pole can reach the Lockout state due to a persistent fault or a failure of plant. This results in a single pole
open condition which will remain until manual action is taken to restore. The operation of the controller for
subsequent faults on the other phases is not affected by the Open or Lockout state on the previously faulted
phase.
During coincident, independent autoreclose sequences on two or three phases, the issue of the independent
close pulses is aligned so that if the fault is actually multi-phase and persistent, Close Onto Fault and the start of
subsequent Deadtimes are aligned. This avoids the possible scenario where the fault duration is extended by
passing fault from one phase to another by re-energising a second phase with ionization still in the vicinity from
Close onto Fault of the first pole to reclose.
Independent sequence counters are incorporated for each pole. The number of shots to Lockout are counted
separately on each pole, for High set, Delayed and total number of shots. This means that if faults are detected
on two or more phases simultaneously, during an autoreclose sequence that was already In Progress on one
phase, the controller may be executing shot 1 for one pole whilst on shot 2 for another. One Pole may actually
count to Lockout before the other, which will continue with further shots and also whilst one pole blocks
instantaneous protection to go to Delayed protection only, the other phase will continue to operate with
Instantaneous protection unblocked. This is correct operation and allows the single pole reclosers to retain correct
co-ordination with other single pole devices in the system.
In Mode C the controller handles Manual Open and Close commands to the three single pole Reclosers on an
individual pole basis. For example Open CB-A and Close CB-A do not affect poles B or C. Similarly the Trip and
Lockout inputs are provided for each pole separately but Trip and Reclose is provided as a three pole function
only. The External Trip function is provided as a three pole function only.
The operation of any tripping protection element which does not start autoreclose will cause a three pole trip.
Single Pole tripping is only allowed if the affected phase can be identified. Earth Fault and SEF elements which
are operated by residual current cannot discern the phase affected by the fault and the operation of these
elements must be used in conjunction with phase element starters to diagnose the faulted phase for single pole
tripping.
Two phase tripping is allowed in Mode C. Any fault detection affecting more than one phase will cause a trip of
the affected phases. If a protection element operates on a second phase during a single pole autoreclose dead
time, the controller will issue a single pole trip of the second pole of the recloser which will be followed by a single
pole reclose of this pole also. The Close Pulses to the two poles will be aligned
If a single pole autoreclose is not successful and Lockout is reached, this applies to the affected pole only. The
controller will not force a three pole trip of the recloser.

Section 1: Introduction
1.1
All relay fascias contain the same access keys although the fascias may differ in appearance from model to
model. The basic menu structure is also the same in all products and consists of four main menus, these being,
Settings Mode - allows the user to view and (if allowed via the settings mode password) change user settings in
the relay from the fascia.
Instruments Mode - allows the user to view the relay meters e.g. current, voltage etc. and configure favourite
instrument views which will cycle on the lcd automatically when the relay is unattended.
Fault Data Mode - allows the user to view the type and data of any protection operation of the relay.
Control Mode - allows the user to control external plant under the relays control for example the CB (if allowed
via the control mode password)
The menus can be viewed via the LCD by pressing the access keys as below,

This push-button is used to return the relay display to its initial status or one level up in the menu structure.
Pressed repeatedly will return to the Relay Identifier screen. It is also used to reject any alterations to a setting
while in the edit mode.
TEST/RESET
This push-button is used to reset the fault indication on the fascia. When on the Relay Identifier screen it also
acts as a lamp test button, when pressed all LEDs will momentarily light up to indicate their correct operation. It is
also moves the cursor right when navigating through menus and settings.

Settings Display
The Settings Mode is reached by pressing the READ DOWN button from the relay identifier screen.
Once the Settings Mode title screen has been located pressing the READ DOWN button takes the user into
the Settings mode sub-menus.
Each sub-menu contains the programmable settings of the relay in separate logical groups. The sub menus are
accessed by pressing the TEST/RESET button. Pressing the READ DOWN button will scroll through the
settings, after the last setting in each sub menu is reached the next sub menu will be displayed. If a particular sub
menu is not required to be viewed then pressing READ DOWN will move directly to the next one in the list.
While a setting is being displayed on the screen the ENTER button can be pressed to edit the setting value. If the
relay is setting password protected the user will be asked to enter the password. If an incorrect password is
entered editing will not be permitted. All screens can be viewed even if the password is not known.
While a setting is being edited flashing characters indicate the edit field. Pressing the READ UP or READ
DOWN buttons will display the valid field values. If these buttons are pressed and held, the rate of scrolling will
increase.
Once editing is complete pressing the ENTER button stores the new setting into the non-volatile memory. The
setting change is effective immediately unless any protection element is operating, in which case the change
becomes effective when no elements are operating.
Configuration and inspection of communications protocol data objects, text used for display in international
languages, graphical user logic and programming of user specific custom protection characteristics is not
possible from the fascia and pc based tools must be used if required.
NB: The Settings Display may vary between software versions. Please see the appendices to this section of the
manual for relevant software version.

meters are available and are navigated around by using the READ UP , READ DOWN and TEST/REST
buttons.
NB: The Instruments Mode may vary between software versions. Please see the appendices to this section of the
manual for relevant software version.
1.5
The Fault Data Mode sub menu lists the time and date of the previous ten protection operations. The stored data
about each fault can be viewed by pressing the TEST/RESET button. Each record contains data on the
operated elements, analogue values and LED flag states at the time of the fault. The data is viewed by scrolling
down using the READ DOWN button.

NOTE: Dips in supply that fall below the minimum voltage for a period greater than the 0% Dip Withstand Period, will
invoke a relay reset.
During conditions of auxiliary input voltage variations which are not described (1) in section 1.4.3.1, the relay
may enter a safety protection mode where a power supply shutdown occurs. This condition is designed to
protect the power supply from damage as well as prevent internal relay faults from developing into dangerous
situations.
Once the relay has entered this safety mode, it may be necessary to reduce the auxiliary input voltage to zero
volts for up to 30 seconds before re-application of the auxiliary supply will cause the relay to power up and
operate normally.
(1) Using fuses as on/off switches or allowing batteries to run at very low cell voltages for extended periods
and then attempting to re-charge them are examples of such auxiliary supply conditions.

The binary inputs have a low minimum operate current and may be set for high speed operation. To achieve
immunity from AC interference, a BI pick-up delay of typically one-cycle can be applied. The default pick-up time
delay of 20 ms will provide this immunity.
The standard EATS 48-4 specifies additional performance requirements to provide greater security against
external disturbances. This standard can be applied to applications where a binary input is used to influence a
control function (e.g. provide a tripping function) and the wiring is considered to be susceptible to capacitive
currents, but double pole switching is not applied. See Chapter 7 Applications Guide.
To comply with EATS 48-4, classes ESI 1 and ESI 2, external components / BI pick-up delays are required as
shown in fig. 1-1.

Section 1: Introduction
The relay data communication facility is compatible with control and automation systems using Modbus RTU,
DNP3. IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-103 and IEC 61850 protocols. PCs running Reydisp software, can be
connected to provide operational information, post-fault analysis, settings interrogation and editing facilities.
This section describes how to use the Communication Interface with a control system or interrogating computer.
Appropriate software within the control system or on the interrogating computer (e.g. Reydisp Evolution or
Reydisp Manager) is required to access data over the interface.
This section specifies connection details and lists the events, commands and measurands available in the
IEC60870-5-103, Modbus RTU, DNP3.0 and optional IEC60870-5-101 and IEC61850 protocols.
When IEC60870-5-103 protocol is selected the relay can communicate with PCs running Reydisp software which
provides operational information, post-fault analysis, settings interrogation and editing facilities etc. Reydisp
software can be downloaded from our website www.energy.siemens.com.
Com2-USB: this port is used for IEC60870-5-103 (default setting) communication with the Reydisp
software. An ASCII protocol is also available through this port, the main use of this protocol is to allow
firmware to be updated from the front connection.
Access to the communication settings for the Com2-USB port is only available from the relay front fascia
via the key pad setting menu COMMUNICATIONS MENU.
2.
Com1-RS485: this port can be used for IEC60870-5-103, DNP-3, MODBUS RTU or IEC60870-5-101
communications to a substation SCADA or integrated control system or engineer remote access. This
port can also be used for connection to Reydisp Evoluition.
3.
Com3: Optional RS232 or additional RS485 ports, and Com3/Com4: optional dual fibre optic serial
ports. These are located on the rear of the relay can be used for IEC60870-5-103, DNP3, MODBUS RTU
or IEC60870-5-101 communications to a substation SCADA or integrated control system or engineer
remote access point. These ports can also be used for connection to Reydisp Evoluition.
Any or all serial ports can be mapped to the IEC60870-5-103, DNP3, MODBUS RTU or IEC60870-5-101 protocol
at any one time, protocols available will depend upon relay model. The optional ethernet port uses IEC 61850
protocol and can also provide an IEC 60870-5-103 protocol connection to Reydisp.
Siemens Protection Devices Limited can provide a range of interface devices, please refer to product catalogue.
Full details of the interface devices can be found by referring to the website www.siemens.com/energy.

USB Interface
The USB communication port is connected using a standard USB cable with a type B connection to the relay and
type A to the PC.
The PC will require a suitable USB driver to be installed, this will be carried out automatically when the Reydisp
software is installed. When the Reydisp software is running with the USB cable connected to a device an
additional connection is shown. Connections to these devices are not shown when they are not connected.
The USB communication interface on the relay is labelled Com 2 and its associated settings are located in the
Data communications menu. When connecting to Reydisp using this connection the default settings can be used
without the need to first change any settings, otherwise the Com 2 port must be set to IEC60870-5-103 (the relay
address and baud rate do not need to be set).

RS485 Interface
An RS485 communication port is located on the rear of the relay and can be connected using a suitable RS485
120 ohm screened twisted pair cable.
The RS485 electrical connection can be used in a single or multi-drop configuration. The RS485 master must
support and use the Auto Device Enable (ADE) feature. The last device in the connection must be terminated
correctly in accordance with the master device driving the connection. This can be done via the internal 120 ohm
terminating resistor, which can be connected between 14 (A) and 18 (B) by fitting an external wire loop between
terminals 18 and 20 on the power supply module.
The maximum number of relays that can be connected to the bus is 64.
The RS485 data comms link will be broken for that particular relay element if it is withdrawn from the case but the
chain of communication to the other relays is maintained.
An additional RS485 port is available as an ordering option. This port is wired to a dedicated terminal block at the
relay rear.
The following settings must be configured via the relay fascia or Reydisp when using the RS485 interface. The
shaded settings are only visible when DNP3.0 is selected.

When connecting via the optional fibre optic interface the selection of fibre-optic cable is important. Fibres must
TM
be terminated with ST (BFOC/2.5) connectors.
The recommended type is 62.5/125m glass fibre. Communication distances over 1 km are achievable using this
type of fibre.
A budget loss calculation should be made for all installations. The following table gives the Launch power and
receiver sensitivity of each of the fibre optic communication ports on the Argus relay when used with specific fibre
optic types.

Fibre Type
The main factors limiting transmission distances with fibre-optics are: Transmitter launch power.
Attenuation, based on light frequency, fibre material and fibre diameter. (Consult fibre manufacturers
data for actual values of fibre attenuation).
Number of intermediate connectors and splices. Fibre cables are supplied on reels of finite length which
may necessitate additional jointing. Typical losses at connectors are 0.5-1.0dB each. This allows for
normal age related deterioration. Typical losses at splices are <0.3dB. (Consult fibre manufacturers data
for actual values).
Receiver sensitivity. The light power at the receiver must be above the sensitivity of the receiver in order
that effective communication can occur.
A 3dB safety margin is usually allowed after the budget calculation is performed.
Following installation the actual losses should be measured for each fibre using a calibrated light source and
meter and the measured values compared to the calculated estimate before the relay is applied.
The following table can be used to record budget calculations:

There are two optional fibre optic ports, com3 and com4, and when fitted the associated settings are available in
the Data Communication menu. To allow communication using either or both of these ports the relay settings
must be changed, via the fascia, in accordance with the method of connection and master device.

If this setting is set to Off, access to relay data using Reydisp Evolution and Reydisp Manager
software via the Ethernet interface is not available.
Introduction
This section describes the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol implementation in the relays. This protocol is used for the
communication with Reydisp software and can also be used for communication with a suitable control system.
The control system or local PC acts as the master in the system with the relay operating as a slave responding to
the masters commands. The implementation provides event information, time synchronising, commands and
measurands and also supports the transfer of disturbance records.
This protocol can be set to use any or all of the relays hardware interfaces (USB, Fibre Optic RS232 and RS485)
and is the standard protocol used by the USB port. The relay can communicate simultaneously on all ports
regardless of protocol used.
Each relay must be given an address to enable communication and can be set by the Communication
Interface:Relay Address. A relay with the default address of 0 will not be able to communicate.
Cause of Transmission
The cause of transmission (COT) column of the Information Number and Function table lists possible causes of
transmission for these frames. The following abbreviations are used:

Introduction
This protocol can be set to use the Fibre Optic, RS232 and RS485 ports. The relay can communicate
simultaneously on all ports regardless of protocol used.
Each relay must be given an address to enable communication and can be set by the Communication
Interface:Relay Address. A relay with the default address of 0 will not be able to communicate.
Definitions with shaded area are not available on all relay models.

1) FP_32BITS_3DP: 2 registers - 32 bit fixed point, a 32 bit integer containing a value to 3 decimal places e.g. 50000 sent = 50.000
2) UINT16: 1 register - standard 16 bit unsigned integer
3) Sequence of 8 registers containing an event record. Read address 30002 for 8 registers (16 bytes), each read returns the earliest event record and removes it from the
internal store. Repeat this process for the number of events in the register 30001 or 40401, or until no more events are returned. (the error condition exception code 2)
Event Format
The format of the event record is defined by the zero byte. It signifies the type of record which is used to decode
the event information. The zero byte can be one of the following.

Device Profile
The following table provides a Device Profile Document in the standard format defined in the DNP 3.0 Subset
Definitions Document. While it is referred to in the DNP 3.0 Subset Definitions as a Document, it is in fact a

Implementation Table
The following table identifies which object variations, function codes, and qualifiers the Triangle MicroWorks, Inc.
DNP 3.0 Slave Source Code Library supports in both request messages and in response messages. For static
(non-change-event) objects, requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be responded with qualifiers 00
or 01. Requests sent with qualifiers 17 or 28 will be responded with qualifiers 17 or 28. For change-event
objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.
In the table below, text shaded as 00, 01 (start stop) indicates Subset Level 3 functionality (beyond Subset Level
2).
In the table below, text shaded as 07, 08 (limited qty) indicates functionality beyond Subset Level 3.

Note 2: For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are only responded when a request is sent with
qualifiers 17 or 28, respectively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be
responded with qualifiers 00 or 01. (For change-event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.)
Note 3: Writes of Internal Indications are only supported for index 7 (Restart IIN1-7)

5.3.3
The following table lists both the Binary Output Status Points (Object 10) and the Control Relay Output Blocks
(Object 12).
While Binary Output Status Points are included here for completeness, they are not often polled by DNP 3.0
Masters. It is recommended that Binary Output Status points represent the most recent DNP commanded value
for the corresponding Control Relay Output Block point. Because many, if not most, Control Relay Output Block
points are controlled through pulse mechanisms, the value of the output status may in fact be meaningless.
Binary Output Status points are not recommended to be included in class 0 polls.
As an alternative, it is recommended that actual status values of Control Relay Output Block points be looped
around and mapped as Binary Inputs. (The actual status value, as opposed to the commanded status value, is
the value of the actuated control. For example, a DNP control command may be blocked through hardware or
software mechanisms; in this case, the actual status value would indicate the control failed because of the
blocking. Looping Control Relay Output Block actual status values as Binary Inputs has several advantages:
it allows change event reporting of the actual statuses, which is a more efficient and time-accurate
method of communicating control values,
and it allows reporting of time-based information associated with controls, including any delays before
controls are actuated, and any durations if the controls are pulsed.
The default select/control buffer size is large enough to hold 10 of the largest select requests possible.
Binary Outputs are by default set to be returned in a class zero interrogation.

Binary Counters
The following table lists both the Counters (Object 20) and Counter change events (Onbject 22).
The Default Deadband, and the Default Change Event Assigned Class columns are used to represent the
absolute amount by which the point must change before a Counter change event will be generated, and once
generated in which class poll (1, 2, 3, or none) will the change event be reported.
Counters are by default returned in a class zero interrogation.

Analogue Inputs
The following table lists Analogue Inputs (Object 30). It is important to note that 16-bit and 32-bit variations of
Analogue Inputs, Analogue Output Control Blocks, and Analogue Output Statuses are transmitted through DNP
as signed numbers.
The Default Deadband, and the Default Change Event Assigned Class columns are used to represent the
absolute amount by which the point must change before an analogue change event will be generated, and once
generated in which class poll (1, 2, 3, or none) will the change event be reported.
The default analogue input event buffer size is set 30.

Section 6: IEC60870-5-101
6.1
Introduction
This section describes the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol implementation in the relays. The control system or local
PC acts as the master in the system with the relay operating as a slave responding to the masters commands.
This protocol can be set to use any or all of the relays hardware interfaces (USB, Fibre Optic, RS232 and RS485).
Cause of Transmission
Shaded boxes are not required.
Blank = function or ASDU is not used.
Mark type identification/cause of transmission combinations:
X if used only in the standard direction

Section 8: Modems
The communications interface has been designed to allow data transfer via modems. However, IEC 60870-5-103
defines the data transfer protocol as an 11 bit format of 1 start, 1 stop, 8 data and even parity, which is a mode
most commercial modems do not support. High performance modems will support this mode, but are expensive.
For this reason, a parity setting is provided to allow use of easily available and relatively inexpensive commercial
modems. This will result in a small reduction in data security and the system will not be compatible with true IEC
60870-5-103 control systems.
8.1.1
RS232C defines devices as being either Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) e.g. computers, or data
Communications Equipment (DCE), e.g. modems, where one is designed to be connected to the other. In this
case, two DCE devices (the modem and the fibre-optic converter) are being connected together, so a null terminal
connector is required, which switches various control lines. The fibre-optic converter is then connected to the
relay Network Tx to Relay Rx and Network Rx to Relay Tx.
8.1.2
The exact settings of the modem are dependent on the type of modem. Although most modems support the basic
Hayes AT command format, different manufacturers use different commands for the same functions. In addition,
some modems use DIP switches to set parameters, others are entirely software configured.
Before applying settings, the modems factory default settings should be applied, to ensure it is in a known state.
Several factors must be considered to allow remote dialling to the relays. The first is that the modem at the
remote end must be configured as auto answer. This will allow it to initiate communications with the relays. Next,
the user should set the data configuration at the local port, i.e. baud rate and parity, so that communication will be
at the same rate and format as that set on the relay and the error correction is disabled.
Auto-answer usually requires two parameters to be set. The auto-answer setting should be switched on and the
number of rings after which it will answer. The Data Terminal Ready (DTR) settings should be forced on. This tells
the modem that the device connected to it is ready to receive data.
The parameters of the modems RS232C port are set to match those set on the relay, set baud rate and parity to
be the same as the settings on the relay and number of data bits to be 8 and stop bits 1. Note, although the
device may be able to communicate with the modem at say 19200 bps, the modem may only be able to transmit
over the telephone lines at 14400 bps. Therefore, a baud rate setting on which the modem can transmit should be
chosen. In this example, a baud rate of 9600 should be chosen.
As the modems are required to be transparent, simply passing on the data sent from the controller to the device
and vice versa, error correction and buffering is turned off.
If possible, Data Carrier Detect (DCD) should be forced on, as this control line will be used by the Fibre-optic
converter.
Finally, these settings should be stored in the modems memory for power on defaults.
8.1.3
Once the remote modem has been configured correctly, it should be possible to dial up the modem and make
connection to the relay. As the settings on the remote modem are fixed the local modem should negotiate with it
on connection, choosing suitable matching settings. If it cannot do this, the local modem should be set with
settings equivalent to those of the remote modem as described above.
Section 9: Configuration
The data points and control features which are possible within the relay is fixed and can be transmitted over the
communication channel(s) protocols in the default format described earlier in this section. The default data
transmitted is not always directly compatible with the needs of the substation control system and will require some
tailoring, this can be done by the user with the Reydisp software comms editor tool.
The Comms Editor is provided to allow its users to configure the Communications Files Protocols in Reyrolle
brand Relays manufactured by Siemens Protection Devices Limited (SPDL).
The editor supports configuring DNP3, IEC60870-5-103, IEC60870-5-101 and MODBUS protocols.
The editor allows configuration files to be retrieved from the relay, edited, then uploaded back to the relay. Files
may also be saved/loaded from disc to work offline. The protocols will be stored in a Reyrolle Protection Device
Comms file (RPDC), which will be stored locally, so that the editor can be used when the relay is not connected.
DNP3
The tool will allow:
Data Points to be enabled or disabled.
Changing the point numbers for the Binary Inputs, Binary Outputs and Analogue Inputs.
Changing their assigned class and variants for Object 10, 11 & 13 and specifying inclusion in a Class 0 poll.
Setting Binary points to be inverted before transmission.
Setting the Control Relay Output Block (CROB) commands that can be used with a Binary Output (Object 12).
Specifying a dead-band outside which Analogue Events will be generated.
Specifying a multiplier that will be applied to an analogue value before transmission.
IEC60870-5-103
The tool will allow:
Data Points to be enabled or disabled.
Changing the point numbers Function Type (FUN) and Information (INF), returned by each point.
Changing the text returned to Reydisp for display in its event viewer.
IEC60870-5-101
The tool will allow:
Data Points to be enabled or disabled.
Changing the Information Object Address (IOA) and information type returned by each point.
MODBUS-RTU
Note, as MODBUS points are polled they do not need to be enabled or disabled. The tool will allow:
Changing the Addresses for the Coils, Inputs and Registers.
Changing the format of the instrument returned in a register, e.g. 16 or 32 bit.
Specifying a multiplier that will be applied to an analogue value before transmission.
The user can check if the relay contains user configured communication files via a meter in the relay menus.
Pressing the Enter and down arrow buttons on the fascia, then scrolling down, the number of files stored in the
relay is displayed. The file name can also be viewed by pressing the Cancel and Test/Reset buttons together
when in the relay Instruments menu. The user must ensure when naming the file, they use a unique file name
including the version number.
Please refer to the Comms Editor User Guide for further guidance.

Section 1: Installation
1.1
Packaging
Relays are supplied in packaging designed to mechanically protect them while in both transit and storage.
This packaging should be recycled where systems exist, or disposed of in a manner which does not provide a
threat to health or the environment. All laws and regulations specific to the country of disposal should be adhered
to.
1.2
On receipt remove the relay from the container in which it was received and inspect it for obvious damage. It is
recommended that the relay not be removed from its case.
If damage has been sustained a claim should immediately be made against the carrier, also inform Siemens
Protection Devices Limited, and the local Siemens agent, using the Defect Report Form in the Maintenance
section of this manual.
When not required for immediate use, the relay should be returned to its original carton and stored in a clean, dry
place.
The relay contains static sensitive devices, which are susceptible to damage due to static discharge. The relays
electronic circuits are protected from damage by static discharge when the relay is housed in its case.
There can be no requirement to disassemble any relay, since there are no user serviceable parts in the relay. If
any modules have been tampered with, then the guarantee will be invalidated. Siemens Protection Devices
Limited reserves the right to charge for any subsequent repairs.
1.3
The relay uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) which is used in the programming and for operation. The LCD has a
vertical viewing angle of 30 and is backlit. However, the best viewing position is at eye level, and this is
particularly important given its control features.
The relay should be mounted on the circuit breaker (or protection panel) to allow the operator the best access to
the relay functions
1.4
Wiring
The product should be wired according to the scheme requirements, with reference to the appropriate wiring
diagram. Refer to the appropriate Diagrams and Parameters document for a cross reference of wiring diagrams
and models.
1.5
Earthing
Terminal 28 of the PSU (Power Supply Unit) should be solidly earthed by a direct connection to the panel earth.
The Relay case earth stud connection should be connected to terminal 28 of the PSU.
It is normal practice to additionally 'daisy chain' together the case (safety) earths of all the Relays installed in a
panel to prevent earth current loops posing a risk to personnel.
1.6
Ancillary Equipment
The relay can be interrogated locally or remotely. For local interrogation a portable PC with suitable version of
MS Windows (2000 SP4 or XP SP2) and Reydisp Evolution software is required. The PC is connected to the
front USB port of the relay.
Chapter 5 Page 3 of 19
1.7
Disposal
The Relay should be disposed of in a manner which does not provide a threat to health or the environment. All
laws and regulations specific to the country of disposal should be adhered to.
The relays and protection systems manufactured under the Reyrolle brand currently do not come within the scope
of either the European WEEE or RoHS directives as they are equipment making up a fixed installation.
1.8
The secondary circuit of a live CT must not be open circuited. Non-observance of this precaution can result in
injury to personnel or damage to equipment
1.9
Where fibre optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed directly. Optical power meters
should be used to determine the operation or signal level of the device.
The front cover provides additional securing of the relay element within the case. The relay cover should be in
place during normal operating conditions.

RS485 Connection
The RS485 communication port is located on the rear of the relay and can be connected using a suitable RS485
120 screened twisted pair cable.
The RS485 electrical connection can be used in a single or multi-drop configuration. The RS485 master must
support and use the Auto Device Enable (ADE) feature.
The last device in the connection must be terminated correctly in accordance with the master driving the
connection. A terminating resistor is fitted in each relay, when required this is connected in circuit using an
external wire loop between terminals 18 and 20 of the power supply module.
Up to 64 relays can be connected to the RS485 bus.
The RS485 data comms link will be broken if the relay element is withdrawn from the case.
The relay is available with an additional RS485 port as an ordering option. The terminal arrangement for this port
are shown in Section 3: of this document. Connections shown below are duplicated on these ports to provide a
separate, parallel, interface.

1.2.1
Before Testing
Safety
The commissioning and maintenance of this equipment should only be carried out by skilled personnel trained in
protective relay maintenance and capable of observing all the safety precautions and regulations appropriate to
this type of equipment and also the associated primary plant.
Ensure that all test equipment and leads have been correctly maintained and are in good condition. It is
recommended that all power supplies to test equipment be connected via a Residual Current Device (RCD),
which should be located as close to the supply source as possible.
The choice of test instrument and test leads must be appropriate to the application. Fused instrument leads
should be used when measurements of power sources are involved, since the selection of an inappropriate range
on a multi-range instrument could lead to a dangerous flashover. Fused test leads should not be used where the
measurement of a current transformer (C.T.) secondary current is involved, the failure or blowing of an instrument
fuse or the operation of an instrument cut-out could cause the secondary winding of the C.T. to become an open
circuit.
Open circuit secondary windings on energised current transformers are a hazard that can produce high voltages
dangerous to personnel and damaging to equipment, test procedures must be devised so as to eliminate this risk.
1.2.2
Sequence of Tests
If other equipment is to be tested at the same time, then such testing must be co-ordinated to avoid danger to
personnel and equipment.
When cabling and wiring is complete, a comprehensive check of all terminations for tightness and compliance
with the approved diagrams must be carried out. This can then be followed by the insulation resistance tests,
which if satisfactory allows the wiring to be energised by either the appropriate supply or test supplies.
When primary injection tests are completed satisfactorily, all remaining systems can be functionally tested before
the primary circuit is energised. Some circuits may require further tests before being put on load.
Protection relay testing will require access to the protection system wiring diagrams, relay configuration
information and protection settings. The following sequence of tests is loosely based on the arrangement of the
relay menu structure. A test log based on the actual tests completed should be recorded for each relay tested. A
typical example of this Site Test Sheet is included.
The Description of Operation section of this manual provides detailed information regarding the operation of
each function of the relay.
Chapter 6 Page 5 of 73
1.2.3
Test Equipment
1.2.4
Precautions
Before electrical testing commences the equipment should be isolated from the current and voltage transformers.
The current transformers should be short-circuited in line with the local site procedure. The tripping and alarm
circuits should also be isolated where practical. The provision and use of secondary injection test sockets on the
panel simplifies the isolation and test procedure.
Ensure that the correct auxiliary supply voltage and polarity is applied. See the relevant scheme diagrams for the
relay connections.
Check that the nominal secondary current rating of the current and voltage transformers has been correctly set in
the System Config. menu of the relay.
1.2.5
Applying Settings
The relay settings for the particular application should be applied before any secondary testing occurs. If they are
not available then the relay has default settings that can be used for pre-commissioning tests. See the Relay
Settings section of this manual for the default settings.
Note that the tripping and alarm contacts for any function must be programmed correctly before any scheme tests
are carried out.
Relays feature multiple settings groups, only one of which is active at a time. In applications where more than one
settings group is to be used it may be necessary to test the relay in more than one configuration.
Note. One group may be used as a Test group to hold test-only settings that can be used for regular
maintenance testing, eliminating the need for the Test Engineer to interfere with the actual in-service settings in
the normally active group. This Test group may also be used for functional testing where it is necessary to disable
or change settings to facilitate testing.
When using settings groups it is important to remember that the relay need not necessarily be operating
according to the settings that are currently being displayed. There is an active settings group on which the relay
operates and an edit/view settings group which is visible on the display and which can be altered. This allows the
Chapter 6 Page 6 of 73
settings in one group to be altered from the relay fascia while the protection continues to operate on a different
unaffected group. The Active Settings Group and the Edit Settings Group are selected in the System
Configuration Menu.
The currently Active Group and the group currently Viewed are shown at the top of the display in the Settings
display screen. If the View Group is not shown at the top of the display, this indicates that the setting is common
to all groups. CT/VT ratio, I/O mapping and other settings which are directly related to hardware are common to
all groups.
If the relay is allowed to trip during testing then the instruments display will be interrupted and replaced by the
Trip Alert screen which displays fault data information. If this normal operation interferes with testing then this
function can be temporarily disabled for the duration of testing by use of the Trip Alert Enabled/Disabled setting in
the System Config Menu.
After applying a settings change to the relay, which may involve a change to the indication and output contacts,
the TEST/RESET key should be pressed to ensure any existing indication and output is correctly cleared.
Chapter 6 Page 7 of 73
1.3
Tests
1.3.1
Inspection
Ensure that all connections are tight and correct to the relay wiring diagram and the scheme diagram. Record any
deviations. Check that the relay is correctly programmed and that it is fully inserted into the case. Refer to
Section 2: Settings and Instruments for information on programming the relay.
1.3.2
Select the required relay configuration and settings for the application.
Isolate the auxiliary D.C. supplies for alarm and tripping from the relay and remove the trip and intertrip links.
Carry out injection tests for each relay function, as described in this document
For all high current tests it must be ensured that the test equipment has the required rating and stability and that
the relay is not stressed beyond its thermal limit.
1.3.3
Primary injection tests are essential to check the ratio and polarity of the transformers as well as the secondary
wiring.
Note. If the current transformers associated with the protection are located in power transformer bushings it may
not be possible to apply test connections between the current transformer and the power transformer windings.
Primary injection is needed, however, to verify the polarity of the CTs. In these circumstances primary current
must be injected through the associated power transformer winding. It may be necessary to short circuit another
winding in order to allow current to flow. During these primary injection tests the injected current is likely to be
small due to the impedance of the transformer.
1.3.4
After tests have been performed satisfactorily the relay should be put back into service as follows:Remove all test connections.
Replace all secondary circuit fuses and links, or close m.c.b.
Ensure the Protection Healthy LED is on, steady, and that all LED indications are correct. If necessary press
CANCEL until the Relay Identifier screen is displayed, then press TEST/RESET to reset the indication LEDs.
The relay meters should be checked in Instruments Mode with the relay on load
The relay settings should be downloaded to a computer and a printout of the settings produced. The installed
settings should then be compared against the required settings supplied before testing began. Automated setting
comparison can be carried out by Reydisp using the Compare Settings Groups function in the Edit menu. Any
modified settings will be clearly highlighted.
Chapter 6 Page 8 of 73
1.4
AC Energising Quantities
Voltage and current measurement for each input channel is displayed in the Instrumentation Mode sub-menus,
each input should be checked for correct connection and measurement accuracy by single phase secondary
injection at nominal levels. Ensure that the correct instrument displays the applied signal within limits of the
Performance Specification.
Phase references A, B & C are allocated to the hardware inputs by user configurable settings. This allows the
7SR224 to be wired to the primary CT and VT without prior knowledge of the customers preference for phase
letter allocation. Current and voltage injection test wiring connections must be adjusted to suit in order that phases
are indicated correctly.

Binary Inputs
The operation of the binary input(s) can be monitored on the Binary Input Meters display shown in Instruments
Mode. Apply the required supply voltage onto each binary input in turn and check for correct operation.
Depending on the application, each binary input may be programmed to perform a specific function; each binary
should be checked to prove that its mapping and functionality is as set as part of the Scheme Operation tests.
Where the pick-up timers associated with a binary input are set these delays should be checked either as part of
the scheme logic or individually. To check a binary pick-up time delay, temporarily map the binary to an output
relay that has a normally open contact. This can be achieved in the Output Matrix sub-menu by utilising the BI n
Operated settings. Use an external timer to measure the interval between binary energisation and closure of the
output contacts. Similarly, to measure the drop-off delay, map to an output relay that has a normally closed
contact, time the interval between binary de-energisation and closure of the output contacts.
Note. The time measured will include an additional delay, typically less than 20ms, due to the response time of
the binary input hardware, software processing time and the operate time of the output relay.

Binary Outputs
A minimum of six output relays are provided. Two of these have change over contacts, BO2 & BO3, one has a
normally closed contact, BO1 and the remainder have normally open contacts.
Care should be observed with regard to connected devices when forcing contacts to operate for test purposes.
Short duration energisation can cause contact failure due to exceeding the break capacity when connected to
inductive load such as electrically reset trip relays.
Close each output relay in turn from the Reydisp Evolution PC programme, Relay Control - Close output relay.
This function will energise the output for its minimum operate time. This time is specified in the Output Config Binary Output Config menu for each output relay and may be too short to measure with a continuity tester.
An alternative method of energising an output permanently so that wiring can be checked is to temporarily map
the relay being tested to the Protection Healthy signal in the Output Matrix, as this signal is permanently
energised the mapped relay will be held energised, normally open contacts will be closed and vice versa.

The General Pickup LED can be used to assess operation of functions during testing if other functions are
disabled or if the setting allocating General Pickup is temporarily modified.
Voltage inputs may not be required for testing of non-directional Overcurrent elements but it may be
advantageous to apply balanced 3 phase nominal rated voltage to the VT inputs during testing to avoid
inadvertent operation of other functions. Particular care should be taken when testing overcurrent functions that
the thermal rating of the current inputs is not exceeded.
It should be considered that where several overlapping elements are used simultaneously, the overall protection

current or voltage. The resulting composite characteristic may be tested by enabling all of the relevant applicable
elements or the element operations can be separated or disabled and tested individually.
All relay settings should be checked before testing begins. It is recommended that the relay settings are extracted
from the relay using Reydisp Evolution software and a copy of these settings is stored for reference during and
after testing. It may be necessary to disable some protection functions during the testing of other functions to
allow unambiguous results to be obtained.
Care must be taken to reset or re-enable any settings that have been temporarily altered during the testing before
the relay can be put into service. At the end of testing the relay settings should be compared to the file extracted
at the start to ensure that errors have not been introduced.
An example Test Sheet summary document is included at the end of this Guide.
2.1
If the relay has Directional Overcurrent elements, the common direction polarising can be checked independently
from the individual overcurrent elements and their settings.
In the INSTRUMENTS MODE display, indication is provided in the DIRECTIONAL METERS menu which displays
current direction under P/F Dir as forward or reverse based on the output states of the directional elements, i.e.
whether they see forward current, reverse current or neither for each pole with respect to the 67 Char Angle
setting in the Phase Overcurrent menu. This display and the equivalent Measured and Calculated Earth Fault
direction meters can be used as an aid to commissioning testing.
The tests below show directional polarising for convention A-B-C positive phase sequence. In the unusual case of
A-C-B positive phase sequence applications, the polarising voltages are inverted to suit the actual conditions for
such a system as shown below.

Check the direction of each pole in turn by connecting to the appropriate terminals. The table below shows

Inject single phase rated current and apply single phase-phase rated voltage at the Char Angle (MTA) phase
angle setting, to each phase in turn. For each pole, monitor the directional display in the instrument menu
and check that indication of forward current (FWD) is displayed. To achieve the required forward
Characteristic Angle, the phase angle of the current should be greater than that of the polarising voltage by
the angle setting.

Repeat all of the above with the current connections reversed. Indication should now be given of reverse

Apply balanced 3 phase rated voltage and current with Vbc (or Vcb for non standard A-C-B system

until the Fwd indication is extinguished. Record this angle in the table below (Forward lead DO). Continue
Chapter 6 Page 14 of 73
to increase/decrease the angle until the instrument reads Rev. Record the angle (Reverse lead PU).
Reduce the current angle until the Rev extinguishes (Reverse lead DO). and the Fwd subsequently returns
(Forward lead PU), recording the angles. Repeat the above tests, starting from the Characteristic Angle, but
reducing the current phase angle to record the directional boundaries in the opposite (lag) direction. The
recorded angle should be the angle at which the phase current leads the phase-phase polarising voltage.
This measurement is greatly simplified if the polarising reference voltage is set to 0deg and the current
phase angle is measured with respect to this reference.
Alternatively, the instrument can be checked at the 4 points marked a,b,c & d on Figure 2-1 only.

Measured Earth Fault and Sensitive Earth Fault elements can be set as directional. These are polarised from
residual voltage, calculated from the 3 phase voltage inputs or the 3Vo input depending on the Phase Voltage
Config setting in the CT/VT Config menu.
The relay Char Angle setting is the Characteristic Phase angle of the fault impedance i.e. the phase angle of the
fault current with respect to the voltage driving the current. The earth fault functions are polarised from the
residual voltage which is in anti-phase with the fault voltage for a single-phase to earth fault. Care is required
when testing by secondary injection with regard to current and voltage polarity.
To simulate an earth fault on a relay with 3 phase-phase or 3 phase-neutral connected voltage inputs, defined by
the Phase Voltage Config setting of Van,Vbn,Vcn or Va,Vb,Vc, proceed as follows. Balanced 3P voltage should
first be applied, then the phase-neutral voltage magnitude on the faulted phase should be reduced in magnitude
with no change in phase angle to produce Vres and simulate the fault. The fault current, on the faulted phase
only, should be set at the MTA with respect to the phase-neutral voltage on the faulted phase, e.g. for a relay
setting of -15, set the phase current to lag the ph-n voltage by 15.
Alternatively, a single phase voltage source can be used in the above test. The polarity of this voltage, applied to
the faulted phase-neutral alone, must be reversed to produce the same residual voltage (Vres) phase direction as
that produced by the 3P voltage simulation described above.
For the Phase Voltage Config of Vab, Vbc, Vo, the single phase voltage applied to the Vo input is used as the
polarising quantity. The inversion is once again required since this input is designed to measure the residual
voltage directly, as produced by an open delta VT arrangement. The current must be set at the MTA with respect
to the inversion of this voltage. e.g. for a relay setting of -15, the phase current must lag the (Vo+180) voltage by
15, i.e. if Vo is set at 180, set Iph at -15.
If the Pickup of one directional Earth Fault element is mapped to an LED, this can be used to check directional

The setting resistance should be measured and the value compared to that specified in the settings data. Both
values should be recorded.
Settings Data Resistor Value
Measured
The high value of setting resistance R will often interfere with secondary current injection when using a digital test
set. It is normal practice in these cases to short out the resistor to allow testing, the shorting link should be
removed after testing.
Since the DTL setting is generally small the pick-up setting can be tested by gradually increasing current until
element operates. The relay should be disconnected from the current transformers for this test.
Apply 2x setting current if possible and record operating time

It is also desirable to check the operating voltage achieved with the setting resistor and all parallel CTs connected
but de-energised. A higher capacity test set will be required for this test. Adequate current must be supplied to
provide the magnetising current of all connected CTs. Precautions should be taken to ensure that no personnel
are at risk of contact with any of the energised secondary wiring during the test.
Measured
To complete testing of the REF requires primary injection through the phase and residual (REF) CT in series to
simulate an out of zone fault and ensure stability of the relay. The test can then be repeated with the REF CT
secondary connections reversed to prove operation.

Where two NPS elements are being used with different settings, it is convenient to test the elements with the
highest settings first. The elements with lower settings can then be tested without disabling the lower settings.
The Thermal withstand limitations of the current inputs, stated in the Performance Specification should always be
observed throughout testing.
NPS Overcurrent can be tested using a normal 3P balanced source. Two phase current connections should be
reversed so that the applied balanced 3P current is Negative Phase Sequence. For relay applications on non
standard networks with positive phase sequence A-C-B, NPS current is provided by a 3 phase source with
conventional A-B-C phase sequence

If two Undercurrent 37 elements are used with different settings, it is convenient to test the element with the
lowest setting first. The higher setting element can then be tested without interference from the other element.
Apply 3P balanced current at a level above the Undercurrent 37-n setting until the element resets.
If DTL setting is small, gradually reduce any each phase current in turn until element operates.
If DTL is large apply 1.1x setting, check for no operation, apply 0.9x setting, check operation
Testing of this element phase by phase may cause inadvertent operation of the 46 NPS Overcurrent elements.

The current can be applied from a 3P balanced supply or phase by phase from a 1P supply. Alternatively the 3
phase current inputs can be connected in series and injected simultaneously from a single 1P source.
The Thermal Overload Setting and Time Constant Setting can be considered together to calculate the operating
time for a particular applied current.
The following table lists operate times for a range of Time Constant Settings for an applied current of 2x the
Thermal Overload setting. Ensure that the thermal rating of the relay is not exceeded during this test.

The Thermal State must be in the fully reset condition in order to measure the operate time correctly. This can be
achieved by setting change in the Thermal protection settings menu or by pressing the Test/Reset button when
the Thermal Meter is shown in the Instruments Mode.
Reset the thermal State then apply 2x the Overload Setting current.
Calculated Operate Time (s)
If the Thermal Overload Capacity Alarm is used, this can be tested by monitoring the Thermal Capacity in the
instruments menu. If the Thermal time constant is longer than a few minutes, this can be assessed during the
timing test above. If the Time Constant is less than a few minutes, a lower multiple of current will be required such
that the rate of capacity increase is slowed to allow monitoring of the instrument to be accurate.

Where more than one Undervoltage (27) elements are being used with different settings, it is convenient to test
the elements with the lowest settings first. The elements with higher settings can then be tested without disabling
the lower settings.
Note that if the voltage is reduced below the 27UVG setting, the function may be blocked. VTS operation may
also block the 27 Undervoltage function. Current inputs are not normally required to stabilise the relay during
voltage element testing.
If the O/P Phases is set to All, the voltage on all phases must be reduced simultaneously. Otherwise the 3
phases should be tested individually. If the DTL is short, starting from nominal voltage, slowly decrease the
applied 3P or VL1 test voltage until the Pickup LED (temporarily mapped) is lit. Record the operate voltage. The
LED should light at setting Volts +/-5%. Slowly increase the input voltage until the LED extinguishes. Record the
reset voltage to check the Hysteresis setting. If the DTL is long, the operate level level should be checked by
applying a voltage of 90% of setting voltage. Check Hysteresis by resetting element to the operate level setting
plus the hysteresis setting.
Connect the relevant output contact(s) to stop the test set. Step the applied voltage to a level below the setting.
The test set should be stopped at the operate time setting +/-5%

Where two NPS elements are being used with different settings, it is convenient to test the elements with the
highest settings first. The elements with lower settings can then be tested without disabling the lower settings.
NPS Overvoltage can be tested using a normal 3P balanced source. Two phase voltage connections should be
reversed so that the applied balanced 3P voltage is Negative Phase Sequence. For relay applications on non
standard networks with positive phase sequence A-C-B, NPS voltage is provided by a 3 phase source with
conventional A-B-C phase sequence
If the 47-n delay is small, gradually increased the applied balanced 3P voltage until element operates.
If DTL is large apply 0.9x setting, check for no operation, apply 1.1x setting, check operation

Map Pickup LED:
This function can be tested by application of 1P or 3P voltage. For Over-frequency, the elements with the highest
setting should be tested first and for Under-frequency the elements with the lowest settings should be tested first.
The elements with other settings can then be tested without need to disable the elements already tested. Note
that the relay is designed to track the gradual changes in power system frequency and that sudden step changes
in frequency during testing do not reflect normal system operation. Normal instantaneous operation of the
frequency element is 140-175ms in line with the Performance Specification. Application of sudden step changes
to frequency can add additional delay which can produce misleading test results.
Gradually increase/decrease applied voltage frequency until 81-n operation occurs. Elements set for more
extreme frequency fluctuation should be tested first with lesser elements disabled.
If the 81-n Delay setting is long it will be advantageous to map the function to temporarily drive the relevant
Pickup output in the Pickup Config sub-menu in the Output Config menu as this will allow the Pick-up led to
operate for the function. If the delay setting is short the operation of the element can be easily checked directly.
The frequency should then be gradually decreased/increased until the element resets. The reset frequency can
be used to check the Hysteresis setting.
If the element is set as 81-n U/V Guarded, The applied voltage must be above the 81 UV Guard Setting in the
U/O Frequency menu.
Apply setting frequency +0.5Hz for Over-frequency or -0.5Hz for Under-frequency and record operating time.

Broken Conductor
Voltage Inputs:
n/a
Current Inputs:
Disable:
Broken Conductor uses the ratio of NPS current to PPS current to detect an open circuit conductor. These
quantities can be produced directly from many advanced test sets but with limited equipment the following
approach can be applied.
Apply 3P balanced current with normal phase rotation direction. This current will consist of PPS alone, no NPS or
ZPS.
Increase 1 phase current magnitude in isolation to produce NPS. The single phase unbalance current will contain
equal quantities of ZPS, NPS and PPS. The NPS component will be 1/3 of the unbalance current and the total
PPS component will be value of the original balanced 3P current plus 1/3 of the additional unbalance current. i.e.
as the single phase unbalance current increases, the ratio of NPS to PPS will also increase. The levels of each
sequence component current can be monitored in the Current Meters in Instruments Mode.
Note that if the relay is applied on a non-standard A-C-B networks, the positive and negative sequences are
reversed and the 3 phase test supply must be arranged to suit.

Autoreclose (79)
Autoreclose sequences can be specified differently for Phase, Earth, Externally Initiated and SEF faults.
Sequences should be simulated for each applicable different fault type with the actual relay settings required for
service installed in the relay.
The relay requires that the correct indications are received at the CB auxiliary contact inputs and that the injected
current and voltage used to generate protection operations are timed to the autoreclose sequence to provide a
realistic simulation of the actual system conditions.
The Instruments Menu contains Autoreclose Meters for the Autoreclose State and the Shot No. which are useful
during sequence testing.
The time stamped Events listing can be downloaded from the relay to a PC to allow diagnosis of the sequence
including measurements of sequence Dead Times and other timing without the use of external measuring
equipment or complex connections.

Synchronising
The optional Synchronising function provides (Re)closure modes which utilise the synchronising voltages to
impose restrictions on the closing of the recloser to allow co-ordination with other devices in the network. Correct
operation of the application of blocking for all combinations of live and dead line and bus voltage should be
checked for manual closing operations and during the testing of autoreclose.

Test voltages can be manipulated to test the Check Synchronising window parameters using the Voltage Check

issued during an autoreclose sequence. In Synch monitors voltage magnitude, phase difference and Slip
Frequency conditions. Voltage Check is raised when voltage magnitude conditions alone are met such that a
close will be issued if phase requirements are additionally met during an autoreclose sequence which will allow.
Voltage Check is useful during testing and fault finding but is not used in service.

Periodic Tests
During the life of the relay, it should be checked for operation during the normal maintenance period for the site
on which the product is installed. It is recommended the following tests are carried out:Visual inspection of the metering display
1. Operation of output contacts
2. Secondary injection of each element
5.2
Maintenance
Relay failure will be indicated by the Protection Healthy LED being off or flashing. A message may also be
displayed on the LCD. In the event of failure contact the local Siemens office or the manufacturer see defect
report sheet in section 5.3.
The relay unit comprises an outer case and the withdrawable relay element. The relay should be returned as a
complete unit. No attempt should be made to disassemble the unit to isolate and return only the damaged subassembly. It may however be convenient to fit the withdrawable relay to the outer case from a spare relay, to
avoid the disturbance of relay panel wiring. The withdrawable relay should never be transported without the
protection of the outer case.

Binary Inputs
Each Binary Input (BI) can be programmed to operate one or more of the relay functions, LEDs or output relays.
These could be used to bring such digital signals as Inhibits for protection elements, the trip circuit supervision
status, autoreclose control signals etc. into the Relay.
1.2.1
A common use of binary inputs is to use the 7SR224 to provide indication of alarm or fault conditions from an
external device which does not itself provide indication or recording facilities. The Binary Inputs are mapped to
LED(s), waveform storage trigger and binary outputs. Note that external device outputs which require high speed
tripping, should be wired to a binary input to provide LED indication and also have a parallel connection wired to
directly trip the circuit via a blocking diode, see fig. 1.2-1:
Chapter 7 Page 5 of 50
1.2.2
Where a binary input is used to as part of a control function, for example tripping or closing a circuit breaker, it
may be desirable to provide an enhanced level of immunity to prevent maloperation due to induced voltages. This
is most important where cross-site cabling is involved, as this is susceptible to induced voltages and will
contribute to capacitive discharge currents under DC system earth fault conditions.
One method of enhancing the immunity of the binary input is to switch both positive and negative connections;
however this is often not possible or desirable.
Where the battery voltage allows its use, the 88V binary input will give an added measure of immunity, compared
to the 19V binary input, due to its higher minimum pickup voltage.
As a guide to suitable degrees of enhanced immunity, we have adopted the parameters laid down in U.K.
standard EATS 48-4. This standard identifies two levels of immunity: Category ESI 1 may be adopted for
connections which do not include significant wiring runs or cabling outside the relay enclosure. Category ESI 2
should be used for connections which include significant wiring runs or cabling outside the relay enclosure. This
category also gives immunity to capacitive discharge currents.
The following diagrams show the external resistors which should be fitted to allow the binary input to comply with
either of the above categories. Fitting these components will raise the current required to operate the binary input,
and hence makes it less susceptible to maloperation.
Where required, the minimum pickup delay for the binary input is stated on the diagram.

1.3
Binary Outputs
Binary Outputs are mapped to output functions by means of settings. These could be used to bring out such
digital signals as trips, a general pick-up, plant control signals etc.
All Binary Outputs are Trip rated
Each can be defined as Self or Hand Reset. Self-reset contacts are applicable to most protection applications.
Hand-reset contacts are used where the output must remain active until the user expressly clears it e.g. in a
control scheme where the output must remain active until some external feature has correctly processed it.
Case contacts 26 and 27 will automatically short-circuit when the relay is withdrawn from the case. This can be
used to provide an alarm that the Relay is out of service.
1.4
LEDs
Output-function LEDs are mapped to output functions by means of settings. These could be used to display such
digital signals as trips, a general pick-up, plant control signals etc.
User Defined Function LEDs are used to indicate the status of Function Key operation. These do not relate
directly to the operation of the Function Key but rather to its consequences. So that if a Function Key is depressed
to close a Circuit-Breaker, the associated LED would show the status of the Circuit-Breaker closed Binary Input.
Each LED can be defined as Self or Hand Reset. Hand reset LEDs are used where the user is required to
expressly acknowledge the change in status e.g. critical operations such as trips or system failures. Self-reset
LEDs are used to display features which routinely change state, such as Circuit-Breaker open or close.
The status of hand reset LEDs is retained in capacitor-backed memory in the event of supply loss.
1.5
Settings are provided in the CT/VT Config menu to allow the phase letter references to be allocated to
any of the three physical current or voltage input channels. This means that the three Recloser
mechanisms 1, 2 and 3 can be pre-wired to the controller inputs V1 V2 V3 and I1 I2 I3 and the phase
references A, B and C can be allocated later during commissioning when settings are installed to suit
customer requirements. This feature allows for physical transposing of phases and different direction
orientation of the Recloser installation without changes to secondary wiring and simply allocates the
physical connections to be selected by the controller. If this setting is set incorrectly, metering and
instrumentation will be incorrect and protection operation may be affected.
The electrical (phasor) sequence can also be selected as A-B-C or A-C-B by a separate setting. This
setting is used to select the positive phasor rotation sequence as either standard (A-B-C) or reverse
sequence (A-C-B). If this setting is set incorrectly, directional polarizing of overcurrent protection will
be incorrect and cause incorrect directional operation. Negative and positive sequence components
will also be exchanged, for both current and voltage. This will cause incorrect metering as well as
distortion to elements utilizing these components for measurement or polarizing.
Chapter 7 Page 8 of 50
The 51-n characteristic element provides a number of time/current operate characteristics. The element can be
defined as either an Inverse Definite Minimum Time Lag (IDMTL) or Definite Time Lag (DTL) characteristic. If an
IDMTL characteristic is required, then IEC, ANSI/IEEE and a number of manufacturer specific curves are
supported.
IDMTL characteristics are defined as Inverse because their tripping times are inversely proportional to the Fault
Current being measured. This makes them particularly suitable to grading studies where it is important that only
the Relay(s) closest to the fault operate. Discrimination can be achieved with minimised operating times.
To optimise the grading capability of the relay additional time multiplier, Follower DTL (Fig. 2.1-1) or Minimum
Operate Time (Fig. 2.1-2) settings can be applied.

To increase sensitivity, dedicated Earth fault elements are used. There should be little or no current flowing to
earth in a healthy system so such relays can be given far lower pick-up levels than relays which detect excess
current ( > load current) in each phase conductor. Such dedicated earth fault relays are important where the fault
path to earth is a high-resistance one (such as in highly arid areas) or where the system uses high values of
earthing resistor / reactance and the fault current detected in the phase conductors will be limited.
2.1.1
Each pole has two independent over-current characteristics. Where required the two curves can be used:
To produce a composite curve
To provide a two stage tripping scheme
Where one curve is to be directionalised in the forward direction the other in the reverse direction.
The characteristic curve shape is selected to be the same type as the other relays on the same circuit or to grade
with items of plant e.g. fuses or earthing resistors.
The application of IDMTL characteristic is summarised in the following table:

Reset Delay
The increasing use of plastic insulated cables, both conventionally buried and aerial bundled conductors, have
given rise to the number of flashing intermittent faults on distribution systems. At the fault position, the plastic
melts and temporarily reseals the faulty cable for a short time after which the insulation fails again. The same
phenomenon has occurred in compound-filled joint boxes or on clashing overhead line conductors. The
repeating process of the fault can cause electromechanical disc relays to ratchet up and eventually trip the faulty
circuit if the reset time of the relay is longer than the time between successive faults.
To mimic an electromechanical relay the relay can be user programmed for an ANSI DECAYING characteristic
when an ANSI operate characteristic is applied. Alternatively a DTL reset (0 to 60 seconds) can be used with
other operate characteristics.
For protection of cable feeders, it is recommended that a 60 second DTL reset be used.
On overhead line networks, particularly where reclosers are incorporated in the protected system, instantaneous
resetting is desirable to ensure that, on multiple shot reclosing schemes, correct grading between the source
relays and the relays associated with the reclosers is maintained.
Chapter 7 Page 11 of 50
2.2
Reduced voltage can indicate a fault on the system, it can be used to make the 51 elements more sensitive.
Typically Voltage Dependent Over-current (51V) is applied to:
Transformer Incomers: Where the impedance of the transformer limits fault current the measured
voltage level can be used to discriminate between load and fault current.
Long lines: Where the impedance of the line limits fault current the measured voltage level can be used
to discriminate between load and fault current.
Generator circuits: When a Generator is subjected to a short circuit close to its terminals the shortcircuit current follows a complex profile. After the initial "sub-transient" value, generally in the order of 7
to 10 times full load current, it falls rapidly (around 10 to 20ms) to the "transient" value. This is still about
5 to 7 times full load and would be sufficient to operate the protection's over-current elements. However
the effect on armature reactance of the highly inductive short-circuit current is to increase significantly
the internal impedance to the synchronous reactance value. If the Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
system does not respond to increase the excitation, the fault current will decay over the next few
seconds to a value below the full load current. This is termed the steady state fault current, determined
by the Generator's synchronous reactance (and pre-fault excitation). It will be insufficient to operate the
protection's over-current elements and the fault will not be detected. Even if AVR is active, problems may
still be encountered. The AVR will have a declared minimum sustained fault current and this must be
above the protection over-current settings. Close-in short circuit faults may also cause the AVR to reach
its safety limits for supplying maximum excitation boost, in the order of several seconds, and this will
result in AVR internal protection devices such as diode fuses to start operating. The generator excitation
will then collapse, and the situation will be the same as when no AVR was present. The fault may again
not be detected.
Current grading remains important since a significant voltage reduction may be seen for faults on other parts of
the system. An inverse time operating characteristic must therefore be used.
The VDO Level - the voltage setting below which the more sensitive operating curve applies - must be set low
enough to discriminate between short-circuits and temporary voltage dips due to overloads. However, it must also
be high enough to cover a range of voltage drops for different circuit configurations, from around 0.6Vn to almost
zero. Typically it will be set in the range 0.6 to 0.8Vn.
2.3
Once a Circuit-Breaker has been open for a period of time ed, higher than normal levels of load current may flow
following CB re-closure e.g. heating or refrigeration plant. The size and duration of this current is dependent upon
the type of load and the time that the CB is open.
The feature allows the relay to use alternative Shaped Overcurrent (51c) settings when a Cold Load condition is
identified. The cold load current and time multiplier settings will normally be set higher than those of the normal
overcurrent settings.
The relay will revert to its usual settings (51-n) after elapse of the cold load period. This is determined either by a
user set delay, or by the current in all 3-phases falling below a set level (usually related to normal load levels) for
a user set period.
Chapter 7 Page 12 of 50
2.4
Operating time
Each instantaneous element has an independent setting for pick-up current and a follower definite time lag (DTL)
which can be used to provide time grading margins, sequence co-ordination grading or scheme logic. The
instantaneous description relates to the pick-up of the element rather than its operation.
Figure 2.4-1
Instantaneous elements can be used in current graded schemes where there is a significant difference between
the fault current levels at different relay point. The Instantaneous element is set to pick up at a current level above
the maximum Fault Current level at the next downstream relay location, and below its own fault current level. The
protection is set to operate instantaneously and is often termed Highset Overcurrent. A typical application is the
protection of transformer HV connections the impedance of the transformer ensuring that the LV side has a
much lower level of fault current.
The 50-n elements have a very low transient overreach i.e. their accuracy is not appreciably affected by the initial
dc offset transient associated with fault inception.
2.4.1
A combination of instantaneous and DTL elements can be used in blocked overcurrent protection schemes.
These protection schemes are applied to protect substation busbars or interconnectors etc. Blocked overcurrent
protection provides improved fault clearance times when compared against normally graded overcurrent relays.
The blocked overcurrent scheme of busbar protection shown in Figure 2.2-2 illustrates that circuit overcurrent and
earth fault protection relays can additionally be configured with busbar protection logic.
The diagram shows a substation. The relay on the incomer is to trip for busbar faults (F1) but remain inoperative
for circuit faults (F2).
In this example the overcurrent and earth fault settings for the incomer 50-1 element are set to below the relevant
busbar fault levels. 50-1 time delay is set longer than it would take to acknowledge receipt of a blocking signal
from an outgoing circuit.
Close up faults on the outgoing circuits will have a similar fault level to busbar faults. As the incomer 50-1
elements would operate for these faults it is necessary to provide a blocking output from the circuit protections.
The 50-1 elements of the output relays are given lower current settings than the incomer 50-1 settings, the time
delay is set to 0ms. The output is mapped to a contact. The outgoing relay blocking contacts of all circuits are
wired in parallel and this wiring is also connected to a BI on the incomer relay. The BI on the incomer relay is
mapped to block its 50-1 element.
Chapter 7 Page 13 of 50
Typically a time delay as low as 50ms on the incomer 50-1 element will ensure that the incomer is not tripped for
outgoing circuit faults. However, to include for both equipment tolerances and a safety margin a minimum time
delay of 100ms is recommended.
This type of scheme is very cost effective and provides a compromise between back-up overcurrent busbar
protection and dedicated schemes of busbar protection.
Instantaneous elements are also commonly applied to autoreclose schemes to grade with downstream circuit
reclosers and maximise the probability of a successful auto-reclose sequence see section 4
Chapter 7 Page 14 of 50
2.5
Earth fault protection is based on the assumption that fault current levels will be limited only by the earth fault
impedance of the line and associated plant. However, it may be difficult to make an effective short circuit to earth
due to the nature of the terrain e.g. dry earth, desert or mountains. The resulting earth fault current may therefore
be limited to very low levels.
Sensitive earth fault (SEF) protection is used to detect such faults. This range of relays have a low burden, so
avoiding unacceptable loading of the CTs at low current settings.
SEF provides a backup to the main protection. A DTL characteristic with a time delay of several seconds is
typically applied ensuring no interference with other discriminative protections. A relatively long time delay can be
tolerated since fault current is low and it is impractical to grade SEF protection with other earth fault protections.
Although not suitable for grading with other forms of protection SEF relays may be graded with each other.
Where very sensitive current settings are required then it is preferable to use a core balance CT rather than wire
into the residual connection of the line CTs. The turns ratio of a core balance CT can be much smaller than that of
phase conductors as they are not related to the rated current of the protected circuit and are not required to
measure the higher currents associated with phase to phase faults. Since only one core is used, the CT
magnetising current losses are also reduced by a factor of three. If a core balance CT is applied to a network
where high earth fault currents can occur, these currents can cause saturation of the core leading to reduced CT
output. In this case it is recommended that the SEF protection is applied with support from Earth Fault protection
with less sensitive settings. This lower level of sensitivity is easily achieved by Derived Earth Fault protection
which uses the calculated sum of the three phase currents as its operating quantity. The 7SR224 provides this
feature by allowing the 50/51G Measured earth fault elements to alternatively use a calculated quantity whilst the
50/51SEF elements use the I4 measured quantity.

Each overcurrent stage can operate for faults in either forward or reverse direction. Convention dictates that
forward direction refers to power flow away from the busbar, while reverse direction refers to power flowing
towards the busbar.
The directional phase fault elements, 67/50 and 67/51, work with a Quadrature Connection to prevent loss of
polarising quantity for close-in phase faults. That is, each of the current elements is directionalised by a voltage
derived from the other two phases.
This connection introduces a 90 Phase Shift (Current leading Voltage) between reference and operate quantities
which must be allowed for in the Characteristic Angle setting. This is the expected fault angle, sometimes termed
the Maximum Torque Angle (MTA) as an analogy to older Electro-mechanical type relays
Example: Expected fault angle is -30 (Current lagging Voltage) so set Directional Angle to: +90 -30 = +60.
A fault is determined to be in the selected direction if its phase relationship lies within a quadrant +/- 85 either
side of the Characteristic Angle setting.

Directional overcurrent elements allow greater fault selectivity than non-directional elements for interconnected
systems where fault current can flow in both directions through the relaying point. Consider the network shown in
fig. 2.6-3.
The Circuit breakers at A, B, E and G have directional overcurrent relays fitted since fault current can flow in both
directions at these points. The forward direction is defined as being away from the busbar and against the
direction of normal load current flow. These forward looking IDMTL elements can have sensitive settings applied
i.e. low current and time multiplier settings. Note that 7SR22 relays may be programmed with forward, reverse
and non-directional elements simultaneously when required by the protection scheme.

Considering the D-G feeder fault shown in fig. 2.6-4: the current magnitude through breakers C and D will be
similar and their associated relays will similar prospective operate times. To ensure that only the faulted feeder is
isolated G FWD must be set to be faster than C. Relay G will thus Trip first on FWD settings, leaving D to operate
to clear the fault. The un-faulted Feeder C-E maintains power to the load.
Relays on circuits C and D at the main substation need not be directional to provide the above protection scheme.
However additional directional elements could be mapped to facilitate a blocked overcurrent scheme of busbar
protection.
At A and B, forward looking directional elements enable sensitive settings to be applied to detect transformer
faults whilst reverse elements can be used to provide back-up protection for the relays at C and D.
By using different settings for forward and reverse directions, closed ring circuits can be set to grade correctly
whether fault current flows in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction i.e. it may be practical to use only one
relay to provide dual directional protection.
2.6.1
2 Out of 3 Logic
Sensitive settings can be used with directional overcurrent relays since they are directionalised in a way which
opposes the flow of normal load current i.e. on the substation incomers as shown on fig. 2.6-4. However on
occurrence of transformer HV or feeder incomer phase-phase faults an unbalanced load current may still flow as
an un balanced driving voltage is present. This unbalanced load current during a fault may be significant where
sensitive overcurrent settings are applied - the load current in one phase may be in the operate direction and
above the relay setting.
Where this current distribution may occur then the relay is set to CURRENT PROTECTION>PHASE
OVERCURRENT> 67 2-out-of-3 Logic = ENABLED
Enabling 2-out-of-3 logic will prevent operation of the directional phase fault protection for a single phase to earth
fault. Dedicated earth-fault protection should therefore be used if required.

The directional earth-fault elements, either measure directly or derive from the three line currents the zero
sequence current (operate quantity) and compare this against the derived zero phase sequence voltage
(polarising quantity). Section 1 of the Technical Manual Description of Operation details the method of
measurement. The required setting is entered directly as dictated by the system impedances.
Example: Expected fault angle is -45 (i.e. residual current lagging residual voltage) therefore 67G Char Angle =
-45
However directional earth elements can be selectable to use either ZPS or NPS Polarising. This is to allow for the
situation where ZPS voltage is not available; perhaps because a 3-limb VT is being used. Care must be taken as
the Characteristic Angle will change if NPS Polarising is used.
Once again the fault angle is completely predictable, though this is a little more complicated as the method of
earthing must be considered.

2.8
Restricted Earth Fault (REF) protection is applied to Transformers to detect low level earth faults in the
transformer windings. Current transformers are located on all connections to the transformer. During normal
operation or external fault conditions no current will flow in the relay element. When an internal earth fault occurs,
the currents in the CTs will not balance and the resulting unbalance flows through the relay.
The current transformers may saturate when carrying high levels of fault current. The high impedance name is
derived from the fact that a resistor is added to the relay leg to prevent relay operation due to CT saturation under
through fault conditions.
The REF Trip output is configured to provide an instantaneous trip output from the relay to minimise damage from
developing winding faults.
The application of the element to a Delta-Star transformer is shown in Figure 2-5. Although the connection on the
delta winding is more correctly termed a Balanced Earth-Fault element, it is still usually referred to as Restricted
Earth Fault because of the presence of the transformer.

The calculation of the value of the Stability Resistor is based on the worst case where one CT fully saturates and
the other balancing CT does not saturate at all. A separate Siemens Protection Devices Limited Publication is
available covering the calculation procedure for REF protection. To summarise this:
The relay Stability (operating) Vs voltage is calculated using worst case lead burden to avoid relay operation for
through-fault conditions where one of the CTs may be fully saturated. The required fault setting (primary operate
current) of the protection is chosen; typically, this is between 10 % and 25 % of the protected winding rated
current. The relay setting current is calculated based on the secondary value of the operate current, note,
however, that the summated CT magnetising current @ Vs must be subtracted to obtain the required relay
operate current setting.
Since the relay operate current setting and stability/operating voltage are now known, a value for the series
resistance can now be calculated.
A check is made as to whether a Non-Linear Resistor is required to limit scheme voltage during internal fault
conditions typically where the calculated voltage is in excess of 2kV.
The required thermal ratings for external circuit components are calculated.

Although core-balance CTs are traditionally used with elements requiring sensitive pickup settings, cost and size
usually precludes this on REF schemes. Instead single-Phase CTs are used and their secondarys connected in
parallel.
Where sensitive settings are required, the setting must be above any line charging current levels that can be
detected by the relay.
On occurrence of an out of zone earth fault the elevation of sound phase voltage to earth in a non-effectively
earthed system can result in a zero sequence current of up 3 times phase charging current flowing through the
relay location.
The step change from balanced 3-phase charging currents to this level of zero sequence current includes
transients. It is recommended to allow for a transient factor of 2 to 3 when determining the limit of charging
current. Based on the above considerations the minimum setting of a relay in a resistance earthed power system
is 6 to 9 times the charging current per phase.
High impedance differential protection is suitable for application to auto transformers as line currents are in phase
and the secondary current through the relay is balanced to zero by the use of CTs ratios at all three terminals.
High impedance protection of this type is very sensitive and fast operating for internal faults.

2.9
The presence of Negative Phase Sequence (NPS) current indicates an unbalance in the phase currents, either
due to a fault or unbalanced load.
NPS current presents a major problem for 3-phase rotating plant. It produces a reaction magnetic field which
rotates in the opposite direction, and at twice the frequency, to the main field created by the DC excitation system.
This induces double-frequency currents into the rotor which cause very large eddy currents in the rotor body. The
resulting heating of the rotor can be severe and is proportional to (I2)2 t.
Generators and Motors are designed, manufactured and tested to be capable of withstanding unbalanced current
for specified limits. Their withstand is specified in two parts; continuous capability based on a figure of I2, and
short time capability based on a constant, K, where K = (I2)2 t. NPS overcurrent protection is therefore configured
to match these two plant characteristics.
For given current level, the Thermal State will ramp up over time until Thermal Equilibrium is reached when
Heating Effects of Current = Thermal Losses.
The heating / cooling curve is primarily dependant upon the Thermal Time Constant. This must be matched
against that quoted for the item of plant being protected. Similarly the current tripping threshold, I , is related to
the thermal withstand of the plant.
Thermal Overload is a slow acting protection, detecting faults or system conditions too small to pick-up fast acting
protections such as Phase Overcurrent. An Alarm is provided for at or above a set % of capacity to indicate that
a potential trip condition exists and that the system should be scrutinised for abnormalities.
Chapter 7 Page 22 of 50
During normal system operating conditions regulating equipment such as transformer On Load Tap Changers
(OLTC) and generator Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) ensure that the system runs within acceptable
voltage limits.
7SR24 undervoltage/DTL elements can be used to detect abnormal undervoltage conditions due to system
overloads. Binary outputs can be used to trip non-essential loads - returning the system back to its normal
operating levels. This load shedding should be initiated via time delay elements so avoiding operation during
transient disturbances. An under voltage scheme (or a combined under frequency/under voltage scheme) can
provide faster tripping of non-essential loads than under-frequency load shedding so minimising the possibility of
system instability.
Where a transformer is supplying 3-phase motors a significant voltage drop e.g. to below 80% may cause the
motors to stall. An undervoltage element can be set to trip motor circuits when the voltage falls below a preset
value so that on restoration of supply an overload is not caused by the simultaneous starting of all the motors. A
time delay is required to ensure voltage dips due to remote system faults do not result in an unnecessary
disconnection of motors.
To confirm presence/loss of supply, the voltage elements should be set to values safely above/below that where a
normal system voltage excursion can be expected. The switchgear/plant design should be considered. The Dead
level may be very near to the live level or may be significantly below it. The variable hysteresis setting allows the
relay to be used with all types of switchgear.
System over-voltages can damage component insulation. Excessive voltage may occur for:
Sudden loss of load
A tap changer run-away condition occurs in the high voltage direction,
Generator AVR equipment malfunctions or
Reactive compensation control malfunctions.
System regulating equipment such as transformer tap changers and generator AVRs may correct the overvoltage
unless this equipment mal-functions. The 7SR24 overvoltage/DTL elements can be used to protect against
damage caused by system overvoltages.
If the overvoltage condition is small a relatively long DTL time delay can be used. If the overvoltage is more
severe then another element, set at a higher pickup level and with a shorter DTL can be used to isolate the circuit
more quickly. Alternatively, elements can be set to provide alarm and tripping stages, with the alarm levels set
lower than the tripping stages.
The use of DTL settings allows a grading system to be applied to co-ordinate the network design, the regulating
plant design, system plant insulation withstand and with other overvoltage relays elsewhere on the system. The
DTL also prevents operation during transient disturbances.
The use of IDMTL protection is not recommended because of the difficulty of choosing settings to ensure correct
co-ordination and security of supply.

In the situation where the system frequency is falling rapidly it is common practise to disconnect non-essential
loads until the generation-load balance can be restored. Usually, automatic load shedding, based on
underfrequency is implemented. Underfrequency relays are usually installed on the transformer incomers of
distribution or industrial substations as this provides a convenient position from which to monitor the busbar
frequency. Loads are disconnected from the busbar (shed) in stages until the frequency stabilises and returns to
an acceptable level.
The 7SR24 has six under/over frequency elements.
An example scheme may have the first load shedding stage set just below the nominal frequency, e.g. between
49.0 - 49.5Hz. A time delay element would be associated with this to allow for transient dips in frequency and to
provide a time for the system regulating equipment to respond. If the first load shedding stage disconnects
sufficient plant the frequency will stabilise and perhaps return to nominal. If, however, this is not sufficient then a
second load shedding stage, set at a lower frequency, will shed further loads until the overload is relieved. This
process will continue until all stages have operated. In the event of the load shedding being unsuccessful, a final
stage of underfrequency protection should be provided to totally isolate all loads before plant is damaged, e.g.
due to overfluxing.
An alternative type of load shedding scheme would be to set all underfrequency stages to about the same
frequency setting but to have different length time delays set on each stage. If after the first stage is shed the
frequency doesnt recover then subsequent stages will shed after longer time delays have elapsed.

Section 3: CT Requirements
3.1
3.1.1
a) For industrial systems with relatively low fault current and no onerous grading requirements - a class
10P10 with VA rating to match the load.
b) For utility distribution networks with relatively high fault current and several grading stages - a class
5P20, with VA rating to match the load.
Note: if an accuracy limit factor is chosen which is much lower than the maximum fault current it will be
necessary to consider any effect on the protection system performance and accuracy e.g. grading margins.
For i.d.m.t.l. applications, because the operating time at high fault current is a definite minimum value, partial
saturation of the CT at values beyond the overcurrent factor has only a minimal effect. However, this must be
taken into account in establishing the appropriate setting to ensure proper grading.
a)
For industrial systems with requirements as for i.d.m.t.l. relays item (a) above, a class 10P10 (or 20).
b)
For utilities as for (b) above - a class 5P10 (or 20), with rated burden to suit the load.
Note: Overcurrent factors do not need to be high for definite time protection because once the setting is
exceeded magnitude accuracy is not important. Often, however, there is also the need to consider
instantaneous HighSet overcurrent protection as part of the same protection system and the settings would
normally be of the order of 10x the CT rating or higher. Where higher settings are to be used then the
overcurrent factor must be raised accordingly, e.g. to P20.
3.1.2
Considerations and requirements for earth fault protection are the same as for Phase fault. Usually the relay
employs the same CT's e.g. three phase CTs star connected to derive the residual earth fault current.
The accuracy class and overcurrent accuracy limit factors are therefore already determined and for both these
factors the earth fault protection requirements are normally less onerous than for overcurrent.
Chapter 7 Page 27 of 50
3.2
For high impedance schemes it is necessary to establish characteristics of the CT in accordance with Class PX
to IEC 60044. The basic requirements are:
All CTs should, if possible have identical turns ratios.
The knee point voltage of each CT, should be at least 2 x Vs.
The knee point voltage is expressed as the voltage applied to the secondary circuit with the primary
open circuit which when increased by 10% causes the magnetizing current to increase by 50%.
Where the REF function is used then this dictates that the other protection functions are also used with class PX
CTs.

Auto-reclose Applications
Automatic circuit reclosing is extensively applied to overhead line circuits where a high percentage of faults that
occur are of a transient nature. By automatically reclosing the circuit-breaker the feature attempts to minimise the
loss of supply to the customer and reduce the need for manual intervention.
The Recloser supports up to 4 ARC sequences. That is, 4 x Trip / Recloses followed by a Trip & Lockout. A
lockout condition prevents any further attempts, automatic or manual, to close the circuit-breaker. The number of
sequences selected depends upon the type of faults expected. If there are a sufficient percentage of semipermanent faults which could be burnt away, e.g. fallen branches, a multi shot scheme would be appropriate.
Alternatively, if there is a high likelihood of permanent faults, a single shot scheme would minimise the chances of
causing damage by reclosing onto a fault. In general, 80% of faults will be cleared by a single Trip and Reclose
sequence. A further 10% will be cleared by a second Trip and Reclose. Different sequences can be selected for
different fault types (Phase/Earth/Sensitive Earth faults).
The Deadtime is the interval between the trip and the CB close pulse being issued. This is to allow for the line to
go dead after the fault is cleared. The delay chosen is a compromise between the need to return the line to
service as soon as possible and prevented unnecessary trips through re-closing too soon. The Reclaim Time is
the delay following a re-closure before the line can be considered back in service. This should be set long enough
to allow for protection operation for the same fault, but not so long that two separate faults could occur in the
same Autoreclose (ARC) sequence and cause unnecessary lockouts.
The Sequence Fail Timer provides an overall maximum time limit on the ARC operation. It should therefore be
longer than all the set delays in a complete cycle of ARC sequences; trip delays, Deadtimes, Reclaim Time etc.
Generally this will only be exceeded if the circuit-breaker has either failed to open or close.
Since large fault currents could potentially damage the system during a prolonged ARC sequence, there are also
settings to identify which protection elements are High-sets and these can cause an early termination of the
sequence.
Where a relay is to operate as part of an ARC scheme involving a number of other relays, the feature attempts to
clear any faults quickly without regard to normal fault current grading. It does this by setting each Trip element to
be either Delayed or Instantaneous. Instantaneous Trips are set to operate at just above maximum load current
with small delays while Delayed Trips are set to suit actual fault levels and with delays suitable for current
grading.
A typical sequence would be 2 Instantaneous Trips followed by a Delayed Trip & Lockout:
When any fault occurs, the relay will trip instantaneously and then reclose.
If this does not clear the fault, the relay will do the same again.
If this still does not clear the fault, the fault is presumed to be permanent and the next Trip will be
Delayed and so suitable for grading with the rest of the network. Thus allowing downstream
protection time to operate.
This Trip will Lockout the ARC sequence and prevent further recloses.
It is important that all the relays in an ARC scheme shadow this process advancing through their own ARC
sequences when a fault is detected by an element pickup even though they are not actually causing a trip or
reclose. This is termed Sequence Co-ordination and prevents an excessive number of recloses as each
successive relay attempts to clear the fault in isolation. For this reason each relay in an ARC scheme must be set
with identical Instantaneous and Delayed sequence of trips.
Chapter 7 Page 29 of 50
The relay closest to the fault (D) would step through its Instantaneous Trips in an attempt to clear the fault. If
unsuccessful, the relay would move to a Delayed Trip sequence.
The other relays in the network (A, B and C) would recognise the sequence of Pick-up followed by current switchoff as ARC sequences. They would therefore also step to their Delayed Trip to retain co-ordination with the
respective downstream devices.
The next Trip would be subject to current grading and Lockout the ARC sequence such that the fault is cleared by
the correct CB.
4.1.1
Auto-Reclose Example 1
Requirement: Settings shall provide four phase fault recloses two instantaneous and two delayed - and only
two recloses for faults detected by the SEF protection.
Note that Instantaneous shots are inhibited if the shot is defined as Delayed
Chapter 7 Page 30 of 50
4.1.2
Requirement: The relay at location A it is required to provide a reclose sequence of 2 Instantaneous followed by
2 delayed recloses. Where the fault current level is between the values I1 and I2 and the first trip is initiated
from the 51-1 (IDMT) element, the IDMT characteristic should trip the CB and lockout the auto-reclose.
The above settings are suitable at values of fault current above I2 however were a fault to occur with a current
value between I1 and I2 this would be detected by the 51-1 element only. As Protn Trip 1 = Inst then the relay
would trip and reclose whereas it is required to lockout for this occurrence.
To provide a lockout for the above faults an additional element 50-2 with identical settings to 50-1 is assigned as
a Delayed Trip and is used in conjunction with the Quick Logic feature i.e.
Chapter 7 Page 31 of 50
4.2
Synchronising
The 7SR224 includes an optional Synchronising function which can be incorporated into the
autoreclose and manual close sequences. The device provides a combined check and system
synchronising function which can automatically select check or system synchronise, as appropriate, from
measurements of the relative phase angles between the line and bus voltages. The relay will prevent closure of
the circuit breaker if the phase angle, slip frequency or the voltage magnitudes of the incoming and running
voltages fall outside prescribed limits. Both the check and system synchronise functions have independent
settings and blocking features. Synchronising bypass logic is provided to close or block close when the circuit
breaker is dead on the line side, bus side or both.
4.2.1
The function can be used as a check and system synchronising relay for applications where two power systems
are to be connected. The following examples show various ways that the relay can be enabled for different
applications.
The device will switch between check sync (CS) and system sync (SS) modes to suit system conditions. If the
requirement is for the relay to be used as a check before closing or reclosing a normal distribution network, then
system sync consideration is not required:
Set MC Split Mode to CS
Set DAR Split Mode to CS
This specifies that when a system split is detected during a MC or DAR operation, the CS mode will be retained
and the split detection ignored.
If the possibility of a system split is applicable but the network should not be reclosed by DAR in these
circumstances then:
Set DAR Split Mode to LO (Lockout)
If the independent System Sync settings are to be used following a Split detection during DAR, then:
Set DAR Split Mode to SS
The reaction to a split detection during a Manual Close operation can be specified separately:
Set MC Split Mode to SS
Similarly, the device can be set to use Close On Zero (COZ) for either or both modes following a split detection.
4.2.2
The Vx analogue voltage input is used for the synchronising Bus voltage and can be either Van, Vbn, Vcn, Vab,
Vbc or Vca. The voltage is compared to the respective Line voltage connected to the V1-V3 analogue voltage
inputs.
V.T. ratings for secondary connections are normally either 100V or 110V for phase-phase, with the associated
phase-neutral ratings being 57.7V and 63.5V respectively. For phase-neutral connections the Vx Nom Voltage
setting in the CT/VT Config menu should be set to 63.5V. For phase-phase connections the Rated Voltage setting
should be set to 110V etc. Voltage element settings are a percentage of this setting..
4.2.3
The relay undervoltage blocking elements, if enabled, can be used to block the close operation if either the line
(incoming) or bus (running) voltages fall below a certain percentage of rated voltage. Typically, the undervoltage
elements are set between 80% and 90% of rating.
Note : when using the undervoltage elements care should be taken to ensure that the reset of the element occurs
at below the expected minimum normal operating voltage of the system. The undervoltage elements reset at
<103% of the operate level. If the system is expected to run at less than the rated voltage, the undervoltage
element reset level must be set to operate at a value below this plus a discrimination margin.
e.g. - for a phase to neutral connection nominally at 63.5 Vrms but which can run as low as 59 Vrms,
the undervoltage setting should be set no higher than 59 V 1 V (margin) = 58V / 103% = 56.31V (the actual
setting would have to be 56.5V). This is equivalent to approximately 89% of rated voltage. If the setting is set
higher than this then the element may never reset and will continuously block.
Chapter 7 Page 32 of 50
4.2.4
A differential voltage detector is incorporated and this, if enabled, blocks the synchronising function if the
difference between the measured bus and line voltages is greater than the setting. This is used to prevent closing
of the circuit breaker with a large voltage differential between the line (incoming) or bus (running) voltages, which
could overstress the electrical systems. Typically, the differential voltage elements are set below 10% of rated
voltage.
4.2.5
The relay Dead and Live voltage monitors are used along with corresponding internal logic to bypass the
synchronising operation of the relay. Typically, anywhere above 80% to 90% of rating can be classed as a live
line or live bus. The dead voltage monitors should be set to somewhere above the expected level of induced
voltages on the line or bus. It should be noted that a dead line or dead bus can have a considerable potential
induced onto it from a parallel line or via capacitance across open breaker contacts. This potential on some
networks can be as high as 30% of rated voltage.
The synchronising Bypass logic can be enabled, if required, to provide the following:
Line charging and/or Bus charging, from the other side which is live.
Different options can be enabled for Manual Closing and DAR operations. This can be used for example to allow
MC operations to be carried out with both sides dead for normal operational switching but prevent closing if the
condition occurred during DAR. Alternatively, the device at one line end can be set to provide line charging whilst
the other only Check Sync, i.e. after the line has been restored and become live.
Additional DLC and DBC delays are provided to allow co-ordination of devices whilst also allowing a close applied
conditions after a delay if the normally expected conditions are not met. For example, a device which will usually
be the second end to close, thus operating in Check Sync mode, can allow Dead Line Close after a further delay,
thus charging the line if the first end fails to close.
4.2.6
Slip frequency is defined as the difference between two frequencies. Where a slip frequency exists between two
separate systems, during a slip cycle the two voltage vectors will be in anti-phase at one point in time. The phase
angle difference will vary between being in phase and anti-phase. The relay can be set to measure slip frequency
in two ways. One way is to measure the two system frequencies directly and calculate the difference. Another
way is to measure the phase difference between the two systems and check that the phase angle change in a
defined time period is less than a predetermined value. If F1 and F2 represent the frequencies of two systems
then it can be shown that for check synchronising operation,
F = F1 F2 =
Td 180
F = F1 F2 =
Td 360
Chapter 7 Page 33 of 50
4.2.7
The check synchronising operation of the relay is used mainly in switching operations which link two parts of a
system which are weakly tied via other paths elsewhere in the system. In this synchronous system there should
be no frequency difference across the breaker but significant differences in phase angle and voltage magnitude
may exist due to the transmission line characteristics such as its length and type of loading.
For check synchronising operation the relay should be set to the maximum phase angle and maximum voltage
differences which still permit the circuit breaker to close without causing large disturbances to the system. For
most systems the phase angle can be set between 20 and 30. There should not be any slip frequency but a
setting of 50mHz is typically applied as a check against loss of synchronism due to tripping of all parallel
interconnections. Table 2 shows some possible check synchronising settings when using the phase detector plus
time delay method. This shows a range of phase angles and the required slip timer settings to achieve a slip
frequency limit of 50mHz. Note that due to the step resolution of the timer, an exact 50mHz slip limit is not always
achievable.

Alternatively, if the slip frequency detector is used and the slip timer turned OFF, a setting of 50mHz could be
applied to the slip frequency detector directly to achieve the same ends.
Note : in check synchronising mode the valid phase difference window for closing is actually twice the phase
angle setting value because the valid Check Sync close can be given when the phase angle is either decreasing
or increasing.
4.2.8
The changeover to system synchronising operation will occur automatically if set, if the two systems become
asynchronous i.e. there are no ties between the two systems and one system is effectively islanded. If this
situation occurs the frequencies will slip past each other and may cause the phase angle to come into the system
split limits. The system split detector can be set to operate on a differential angle anywhere from 90 to 175 and
is typically set to 170. Alternatively, the change to System Sync can be made based on Slip frequency using a
high value of typically 125mHz or more.
When there are high rates of slip between the two systems greater care is needed when closing the breaker and
for this reason the system synchronising mode has independent settings from the check synchronising mode. The
allowable phase angle close window is usually set much narrower than for check synchronising operation. Also,
the close decision from the relay is only given in the case of the phase angle decreasing. It will not issue a close if
the phase angle is increasing in value. Typically the slip frequency will be set to a limit of 250mHz or less and the
phase angle to 10 or 15. Table 4-2 shows some possible system synchronising settings for limits of 100mHz
and 250mHz. Note that due to the step resolution of the timer, an exact 100mHz or 250mHz slip limit is not
always achievable.

Alternatively, if the slip frequency detector is used and the slip timer turned OFF, settings of 100mHz or 250mHz
could be applied to the slip frequency detector directly to achieve the same ends.
The relay will automatically revert to Check Synchronising mode when zero slip is applied.
4.2.9
In Check Synchronising operation the relay will issue a Check Sync close if the system conditions are such that
the phase angle and slip frequency are within limits. There is a possibility, however, that a Check Sync close
could be issued at a point where the phase angle is approaching the angular limits, say + 20, and the slip
frequency is at the maximum allowable value. The consequence of this is that due to the inherent closing time of
the CB the actual CB close occurs outside of the phase angle limits. The angle overshoot being dependent on the
actual slip frequency and the total CB closing delay.
The total delays involved in this process include the main software timing loop which issues the close command,
the output relay time to pick up and the actual breaker closing time delays. To reduce the risk of a late closure it is
common practice to set the slip timer setting (Td) to typically 10x the CB closing time. This will ensure that the CB
will close no later than 1.2x the actual phase angle setting of the relay e.g. 24 for a 20 setting.
e.g. :The change in phase angle between two waveforms is directly related to the frequency difference, or slip,
between them. The change in phase angle
Change in phase angle
The distance the phasor can travel during the breaker close time can therefore be given by,

It was stated that the slip timer setting Td should be set to 10x the breaker closing time tCB.
Substituting for this in the above equation gives,

or
= 0 .2
Thus for a slip timer setting (Td) of 10x breaker closing time (tCB) the actual change in phase angle will be 20% of
the phase angle setting. The maximum closing angle will be 120% of phase angle setting.
In practice, however, the relay operating times need to be taken into consideration. A typical example now follows
:
- Maximum allowed phase angle for closure = 30.
- Circuit breaker closure time = 150ms.
Maximum relay delays : Software timing loop + Output relay delays = 5ms + 7ms = 12ms.
Therefore slip timer time delay should be set to 10x (150ms + 12ms) = 1.62sec. In practice this will have to be set
to 1.6sec due to the resolution of the slip timer.
The phase angle setting should be set to 80% of the maximum allowable closing angle, which is 24.
If the relay was to issue a close right on the boundary of 24
With an angle of 24 and a slip timer delay (Td) of 1.6sec, using the equation from section 2.7, the slip is
therefore,
Chapter 7 Page 35 of 50
24 / (1.6 x 180) = 83mHz. If the relay were to close on the boundary the phase angle traversed in the 160ms total
delay time is given by,

This additional functionality is available as an ordering option when required to suit application requirements. The
LOV Automation function is applied by Reclosers at the sectioning points along a feeder and by a Normally Open
Point (NOP) at the junction of two feeders, see
, the purpose is to ensure the automatic restoration of system supply to as many customers as is possible
following the lockout of a source Recloser and de-energisation of a feeder due to a permanent fault. The resultant
permanent loss of supply to healthy sections of the faulted feeder can be avoided by the sequential closure of the
NOP (TIE) Recloser and multiple Line Reclosers to back feed supply and isolate the faulted section. This
sequence can be triggered by Loss Of Voltage to automatically and relatively quickly, restore the power to healthy
sections and thus limit the disruption to Customers and minimising the Customer Minutes Lost (CML) metric. LOV
Automation should be considered as a one shot automated sequence after which, the normal NOP having been
closed, manual operations should be taken to clear the fault and restore the system to its normal configuration.
The LOV Function described does however have the capability of reconfiguration after other permanent fault(s)
occurring, after the first-fault LOV automation sequence, depending on their location within the system. However,
if no manual action is to be taken the increase of load level on the back-feed feeder(s) must be considered.

NOP (Tie): This device operates as a normally open point in the network which is closed automatically as part of
the sequence to provide a backfeed from a different, unfaulted feeder when voltage is detected as lost.
Feeder: The controller issues a trip on detection of LOV, followed by no further action to establish a new normally
open point in the network arrangement which results from the automated sequence.
The starting point is that on a normal healthy system all Reclosers A, B & C on both Feeders will be closed as
shown in
and the NOP will be open. All Devices will have the same voltage on their upstream and downstream sides and
voltage will be present on both sides of the NOP (TIE) point. It should be noted that Reclosers at different points
in the system are programmed to give the optimum, different, reaction to Loss Of Voltage and that their response
is not conditional on seeing fault current, only on detection of loss of voltage. An LOV sequence starts to operate
due to prolonged absence of voltage which occurs when a CB or Recloser goes to Lockout after a persistent fault
is isolated from the supply i.e. fault current no longer flows, following a complete but unsuccessful autoreclose
sequence. The actual cause of the fault still remains but is isolated on its normal source side from the supply and
from adjacent feeders by the NOP.
For a fault at the position shown on the Feeder 1- A section, the 1A CB/Source Recloser will go through a
sequence of Fast plus Delayed trips to attempt to clear the fault. For a permanent fault the outcome will be that
1A goes to Lockout and Feeder 1 will be left totally dead. Feeder 1 does however have healthy sections e.g. 1B to
1C and 1C to the NOP which can be given back-feed supply from Feeder 2 if a structured restoration cycle is
initiated by the automatic closure of the NOP. This is achieved as follows;- following the Lockout of the Source
Recloser/CB-1A, the Line Reclosers 1B and 1C will both see permanent Loss Of voltage (LOV), (this may also
have occurred temporarily, more than once during or for the whole, of the 1A recloser sequence).
1B and 1C can be set as type Recloser in the LOV Automation menu. In this case if LOV Recloser Opening in
each is set to Enabled and they see permanent LOV on both sides for more than a user set LOV Action Delay
e.g. 60 seconds, set by the user to cover a complete upstream sequence, then their LOV Elements will each take
action and give a 3 pole Trip output, both 1B and 1C will therefore Trip and Lockout at about the same time.
The NOP, which is set as type NOP (Tie) in the LOV Automation menu, in example 1, will see LOV on its Feeder
1 side and will have normal system voltage available on its Feeder 2 side; if the NOPs LOV Element sees
permanent LOV on either side i.e. lasting for more than a user set LOV Action Delay e.g. 75 seconds to give a
grading margin to allow time for Reclosers 1A and 1B to open at, for example, 60 seconds, then the NOP LOV
Element will take action and issue a NOP Close.
A type NOP (Tie) has separate settings for LOV-A Action Delay and LOV-X Action Delay to allow different delays
to be applied for Loss of voltage action on either side of the Recloser.
For this NOP Close action the NOP Protection must be primed to perform one Fast Protection Line Check Trip &
Lockout, thus, if the NOP closes onto a permanent fault or a fault appears during a set LOV SOTF Time (e.g. 5
seconds), on section 1C then the NOP will perform a Fast Protection Trip & Lockout. If the NOP close is
successful and no fault appears, the C section of Feeder 1 will thus be back-fed. The NOP Line Check mode
must be maintained as Fast Protection during its LOV SOTF Time but must then be changed to Delayed for the
Reclosers LOV Reclaim Time.
Recloser 1C will now see voltage on its downstream side and if that voltage is present for the user set LOV SOTF
Time e.g. 5 seconds, then 1Cs LOV Element in turn will then issue a Reclose and 1C will close. Note that the 1C
Protection will be primed to perform one Fast Protection Line Check Trip & Lockout, thus, if 1C closes onto a
permanent fault, or a fault appears during its set LOV SOTF Time e.g. 5 seconds, then 1C will Fast Protection
Trip and Lockout. If the Recloser close is successful the B section of Feeder 1 will thus be back-fed. The 1C Line
Check mode must be maintained as Fast Protection during its LOV SOTF Time but must then be changed to
Delayed for the Reclosers LOV Reclaim Time.
Recloser 1B will now see voltage on its downstream side and if that voltage is present for the user set LOV SOTF
Time e.g. 5 seconds, then 1Bs LOV Element in turn will then issue a Reclose and 1B will close. Note the 1B
Protection will be primed to perform one Fast Protection Line Check Trip & Lockout thus if 1B closes onto a
permanent fault, or a fault appears during its set LOV SOTF Time e.g. 5 seconds, then 1B will Fast Protection
Trip & Lockout. If the Recloser close is successful then the A section of Feeder 1 will thus be back-fed. The 1B
Line Check mode must be maintained as Fast Protection during its LOV Reclose reclaim Delay but must then be
changed to Delayed for the Reclosers LOV Reclaim Time.
For the example shown 1B will be reclosed onto a permanent fault and will therefore perform its Fast Line Check
Trip & Lockout with 1C now applying only Delayed protection. This will leave the healthy 1B and 1C sections
backfed via the NOP.
Chapter 7 Page 37 of 50
As can be seen from the above, the NOP and each Recloser will close sequentially at the User set (e.g. 5
seconds) intervals and each Recloser when it Closes will be primed to perform a single Fast Protection Line
Check Trip & Lockout for its Close whilst all other Reclosers/NOP have had their protection changed from Fast
Protection Line Check Trip & Lockout to a Delayed Line Check Trip & Lockout; this ensures that the Recloser
closing onto a faulted section will trip Fast Protection and clear the fault leaving all the other proven, unfaulted,
sections energised. This mode of operation does impose a fault, which will be cleared by a single high-speed
Fast-Protection Trip, onto an otherwise healthy system but it does result in as much of the System being
maintained in-service as possible.
If, following a Loss of Voltage and LOV Automation initiation, a type Recloser does not see Voltage re-appear on
one side to allow the LOV Automation process to proceed, then on expiry of the LOV Sequence Time i.e. the LOV
Automation time-allowed-to-live timer, the LOV Sequence will be terminated and the Recloser will go to Lockout.
The NOP and the Reclosers involved in the restoration sequence must have their LOV Reclaim Time settings set
to a longer time, with grading margin > 5 secs, than the maximum time taken for the last Recloser X in the LOV
Sequence to complete its LOV sequence and Reclose, tripping to clear any permanent fault which presents itself
as necessary. This is necessary to ensure that the NOP and all Reclosers, which will see fault current when the
last Recloser in the sequence closes, remain programmed to perform a Delayed Trip without reclose until after all
Reclosers have completed their part in the Automation sequence and the system is restored unfaulted.
Once the NOP and feeder Reclosers have completed their LOV sequences and have LOV Reclaimed then they
must now have co-ordinated grading to be able to deal correctly with a second fault on one of the healthy
sections. This co-ordinated grading, under back-feed conditions following NOP(TIE) closure, is achieved by
programming all the Reclosers in the LOV back-feed loops to be bi-directional, their settings in both directions can
be co-ordinated by a Grading Study to ensure correct grading for faults fed from either the normal Forward or
NOP(TIE) Closed back-feed, Reverse directions.
LOV Element has two main outputs i.e. three pole LOV Trip and three pole LOV Close these can be mapped to
the existing CB Open and 79 AR Close outputs, it is not necessary to create new outputs in the output matrix, all
other outputs are intended for alarm/indication purposes.
It should be noted that in a typical interconnected system at each feeder end there could be up to 3 NOP (TIE) at
that node anyone of which could be closed to back feed supply to that feeder, therefore, there must be a user-set
pecking order. The NOP LOV Action Delay timer User settings with grading margins e.g. 75 s - 80 s - 85 s,
ensures that the optimum reconfiguration of the system occurs but with redundancy built-in to ensure that supply
is restored via a third path should the first or second, choice path not be available or fails, see Error! Reference
source not found. .
Loss of Voltage at the NOP on VA/VB/VC selects the LOVa Action Delay timer setting; Loss of voltage on VX/VY/VZ
selects the LOVx Action Delay timer setting. As can be seen the result is that each Feeder can have a preferential
first choice, a second choice and third choice back-feed feeder, the user can set these independently to suit his
system. NOP (TIE) to Feeders from other Sub/Stations will typically always be set to third choice e.g. 85 second
Action Delay time. NB the NOP LOV Automation Action Delay on either side can be set to OFF which means that
the User can select NOP LOV Close so as to supply power in a single first required direction only, not a second.
The bubbles show examples of the flexibility of the grading arrangement at the node on the end of each feeder,
showing how the user can select the 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice back-feed feeders for each feeder. Other
arrangements can be set-up by User. Note the NOP (TIE) feeders between Sub/Stations end up with the same
Action Delay time settings on both sides.
The LOV Automation function can be Enabled or Disabled, by the User setting and can be switched In/Out
dynamically via any Binary Inputs, LOV can also be switched In/Out by Function Key or SCADA General
Commands. LOV is automatically inhibited by Voltage Transformer Supervision if a VTS failure is detected.
For a controller with LOV Plant Device Type set as Recloser to perform its LOV Automation sequence, only the
downstream voltage needs to be monitored and therefore addition primary voltage transformers are not required.
Reclosers should be mounted and connected so that the standard Voltage measuring devices are on the
downstream side as this voltage is monitored for voltage recovery to prompt reclosure. The controller monitors will
respond to voltage restoration on either side of the recloser and therefore connections can be made to the A or
X side.
For a NOP (TIE) to perform its LOV Automation sequence, the voltage levels on both sides of the NOP i.e. both
downstream and upstream voltages, must be monitored. Voltage levels must be continuously monitored as preLOV memory of condition states is necessary.

Typical System Interconnections showing Normally Open (TIE) Points and LOV Action Delay
timer grading margins.
An LOV close is blocked by the Block Reclose input in the same way as any autoreclose close. The setting of the
Block Reclose Delay should be considered in the setting of the LOV timing.
The LOV function is set to Out by default and must be switched In. The voltages and open/closed state of the
recloser is checked when an attempt is made to switch the function In. A type Feeder or Recloser must be
Closed with voltage present on at least 1 side. A type NOP(Tie) must be Open with Live voltage on both sides.
This condition must be retained for the LOV Primed Time before the primed staus is achieved. The device must
be in the primed state for loss of voltage to start any LOV Action. The enable/disable setting LOV Primed
Interlock can be used to disable the voltage check but the relevant open/closed state is still required. The
NOP(Tie) device includes a LOV Memory Time which provides a reset delay for the primed condition when
voltage conditions of dead both sides is applied. This allows for the fact that during a fault the voltage on the
unfaulted side may be depressed by the proximity of the fault.
The devices can be set to start the LOV sequence from loss of voltage on either all three phases or loss of
voltage on any single phase. The single phase option can be used to restore load on a system where single pole
tripping is permitted.
The LOV system can be set to operate as a single or multi-shot sequence. When selected as Single mode, the
LOV Automation function will be automatically switched Out following a successful or unsuccessful LOV
sequence and the LOV In signal must be raised by the operator before a further sequence will be executed
following a subsequent loss of voltage.

4.4.1
Single/Triple Autoreclose
System Arrangement for Application of Single/Triple AutoReclose
In countries, such as the USA, where the distribution network is 4 wire i.e. three phase plus neutral, a three phase
feeder may run out from a sub/station and then at some point be split into three separate single phase plus
neutral feeders where, for example, each line can go up a separate valley and thus be subjected separately to
lightning strikes or single phase to Earth (Ground) or Neutral, Faults. Loads can thus be entirely single pole or a
mix of three pole and single pole.
Some utilities are upgrading their systems to improve the quality of supply to customers by installing three
separate single pole Reclosers plus a Controller that can selectively apply Single or Triple AutoReclose
sequences to each pole asynchronously. Each pole has its own separate fault detection/Trip and AutoReclose
sequencing capability. Different modes of operation can be set by the user to cater for the basic and or seasonal
requirements of different types of load on the three phases. The Controller provides settings to enable the user to
set the required options of Single/Triple Trip/Close and Single/Triple Lockout combinations including the option of
what must happen under two-pole faults. Before setting the controller to Single pole Trip/Single pole Lockout
mode the user must ensure that no plant is connected for which a three phase supply is essential e.g. three
phase motor. A typical application is feeders supplying Oil Rig pumping motors, single pole ARC can be
beneficially applied provided the motor is not run on two poles for extended periods otherwise NPS induced
overheating and failure could result, the Single pole Trip - Three pole Lockout, Mode B, provides for this by
allowing single pole trips followed by reclose but issues only three pole trips when a reclose is not started. An
additional subsequent three pole trip is issued in this Mode if single pole autoreclose fails.
If Single pole Trip is set then each Recloser can each be independently Tripped and Closed as a single pole
circuit breaker, however, in some circumstances all three Reclosers must be Tripped and Closed as a three pole
device. Each Single pole Recloser, therefore, has its own independent Trip/Close circuits and CB Open/Closed
Auxiliary contacts; also, its own Manual Trip & Lockout handle, with auxiliary T&LO contacts, operated by a HotLine working tool. The Control Cubicle must have pole by pole external push button switches to provide local
electrical Trip/Close controls for each Recloser. The Controller provides pole by pole logic and interlocking to
ensure that correct operation occurs in all modes and for all complex fault conditions. Three instances of the
Capacitor Monitor/Test element are included to allow for the additional capacitor networks required by the phase
segregated system.
Single pole tripping is not normally applied where three-phase loads, or delta connected loads are connected. It is
only applied to Reclosers on systems which allow Single pole to Neutral load connection, e.g. 4 wire, 3Phase +
Neutral, systems, as typically used in the USA and South America. In such systems the routing and loading cab
be such that loads can tolerate running for short periods on only two phases, the third being temporarily dead. As
a simplified model consider that pole A is routed up valley A, Pole B is routed up valley B and pole C is routed up
Chapter 7 Page 40 of 50
valley C; all with single phase to Neutral loads. A permanent phase to neutral fault and single pole Recloser
sequence to Lockout on pole A will not, therefore, affect the supply to customers in valleys B and C.
For a fault at the position shown on Phase A, the A pole CB/Source Recloser will go through a sequence of Fast
plus Delayed Trips to attempt to clear the A-G(N) fault. For a permanent A-G fault the outcome will be that pole A
goes to Lockout and phase A will be left totally dead. Customers on Phases B and C will continue to receive
uninterrupted supply, they will not suffer interruptions.
It should be noted that Single/Triple operation of Reclosers is applied to Rural Feeders and for these Loss Of
Voltage (LOV) automation is not applied, (to do so would require a very complex LOV scheme requiring single
pole closure of the NOP (TIE) and Feeder Reclosers with resultant single pole back-feed.). In the MLFB LOV
Automation is not to be made available with Single /Triple Software.
Single-phase Tripping/Reclosing improves system reliability by maintaining supply to customers who are not on
the faulted phase of a feeder. When a permanent fault occurs on one of the phases e.g. on the B phase, only the
B pole Recloser performs a Trip and Reclose sequence, A and C phases, if unaffected, stay Closed maintaining
supply to the Customers on poles A and C. If a single-phase reclosing sequence is unsuccessful because of a
permanent fault, only the customers on the B phase are left without power, rather than all three-phases locking
out. Single-phase operation will be applied, especially in rural areas where the majority of loads are single phase
L-N and manual restoration can take longer because of the greater travel distances.
Note:- All unbalance Protection elements i.e. NPS, Broken Conductor, Loss of Phase, VTS, CTS, etc. algorithms
have to be inhibited or pre-set to a long ride-through delay, BEFORE a single pole Recloser Trip is issued to
prevent false operation during single-phase sequence Dead-Times, or inhibited when a single-phase Lockout
state is reached. Because of the inherent unbalanced nature of three poles of single pole to neutral loads the NPS
levels will be high on such systems and even higher when one pole trips out leaving only two poles energized,
therefore, when Single pole Trip is selected all Unbalance protection elements are usually Inhibited. The ZPS will
also be high, same level, but a considerable percentage will return via the Neutral conductor, therefore, a Neutral
CT is essential, the rest via the multiple Ground paths.
4.4.2
The User may select one of three modes for the Single/Triple operation to suit the system load characteristics and
thus avoid subjecting loads to conditions which could cause damage to plant. The settings of the Trip-RecloseLockout operation modes for the Recloser provide for three Modes of Trip Sequences to Lockout for a permanent
fault. Mode selection can be via Settings menu to provide default mode, via Control Mode Menu, or via Settings
Group change either in response to a General Command via SCADA or by Binary Input selection. If more than
one mode is selected simultaneously, the priority is Mode A over B over C with Modes as defined below. When a
binary input mapped to this function is energised, the setting is changed to the selected Mode. The setting does
not revert to its previous state when the input is reset. The additional LEDs available on E12 Controllers can be
used to show which Mode is ON. Only the selected Mode LED will be ON. Single Pole Reclosers can be operated
by the User in any one of the following modes as and when the application requires it. Three single pole
Reclosers connected in a full single pole wired scheme may thus be operated individually or together as a three
pole Recloser as system operations require.
[It should be noted that Single/Triple operation only applies to Phase Fault elements and not to Earth Faults nor to
Sensitive Earth faults. The use of three CTs, one per pole, and a single neutral CT i.e. 4 CTs, only allows
detection that an SEF/Earth Fault has occurred but not on which pole. This determination is only possible if a
Phase to Earth Fault current is above the Phase Fault Overcurrent setting, it is then possible to single pole trip
and reclose as per the logic shown in tables in the Description of Operation section of this manual. Therefore, in
the absence of any supplementary data, an SEF trip and/or Earth fault trip must cause Three pole Trip and Three
pole Reclose.
MODE A
3PTrip-3PLO
This is the standard Three pole only mode of operation, only three pole Trip/Close sequences are performed and
all three poles are Locked Out together when the Lockout state is reached. This mode is used where three phase
loads such as motors cannot be allowed to on two phases, even for the duration of the autoreclose deadtime.
In this mode any pole CB Trip or CB Close Command must operate all three Reclosers.
In this mode a Line Check Trip or Trip & Lockout Command causes a 3PTrip-3PLO.
In this mode any single manual Lockout Lever Command causes a 3PTrip-3PLO.
In this mode the Hot Line On Command primes a single 3PTrip-3PLO.
Chapter 7 Page 41 of 50
MODE B
1PTrip-3PLO
In this mode Controller can perform independent single pole TRIP sequences up to the point at which the Lockout
state is reached on any one pole, it then performs a final three pole TRIP and all three
poles are Locked Out together. Controller only goes to 3PTrip-3PLO if and when a 3P Trip and Lockout has to be
performed. If at any point during an AutoReclose sequence a Phase-to-Phase or 3-Phase Fault condition
develops and exists when a Trip output has to be issued i.e. if at the point at which a first pole element operates a
starter is also raised on any other pole, then the Controller reverts to 3 pole Trip and 3 pole Close sequencing and
3PTrip-3PLO as applicable at that point in the sequence.
This mode prevents detrimental LONG TERM 2 phase energisation of three phase loads e.g. motors.
In this mode 2 pole trips are never issued, any fault diagnosed as affecting more than 1 pole will cause a 3 pole
trip which may be followed by 3 pole reclose.
Any fault on a healthy phase during a single pole reclose sequence on another phase will cause a 3 pole trip
which may be followed by 3 pole reclose.
In this mode any single pole CB Trip or CB Close Command is considered to be a long term action and is
therefore diverted to operate all three Reclosers.
In this mode a Line Check Trip or Trip & Lockout Command causes a 3PTrip-3PLO.
In this mode any single manual Lockout Lever Command causes a 3PTrip-3PLO.
In this mode, the single pole Trip and Reclose Command remains pole segregated.
In this mode the Hot Line On Command primes a single 3PTrip-3PLO.
If ARC OFF is selected in Mode B all trips will be 3PTrip-3PLO.
MODE C
1PTrip-1PLO
Mode C applies single pole tripping for all Phase Fault fault combinations. Each pole of the Recloser Controller
follows its own settings and sequence independently. This is the equivalent of having three separately mounted
single pole Reclosers each with its own Controller, each Recloser Controller is, therefore, unaware of the state of
the Reclosers & Controllers on the other poles. This does mean that the sequences on each pole are not
synchronous and are not interlocked, therefore, a fault scenario can develop where for a Phase to Phase fault
one pole could be performing a Fast Trip the other could be performing a Delayed Trip, this is not an issue, one
pole will initiate the tripping action(s) and if unsuccessful eventually both sequences will be doing delayed. Also
different Dead times could be applicable on each of the poles at that point in the two sequences but Close
commands issued by the Sequences are co-ordinated so that both poles close at the same time.
In this mode the Controller performs independent single pole Trip and Reclose sequences, each pole will Lockout
independently. The Controller operates to drive each Recloser pole as an independent Circuit Breaker. Normal
system operating modes will thus be 3P or 2P or 1P for extended periods, this determines the type of protection
elements which can be enabled, Frequency elements and Voltage elements must track the remaining in-service
phase(s). Controller does NOT revert to three-pole Trip and Close sequencing or three pole Lockout if a Phase to
Phase Fault condition exists at any Trip point in the sequence.
In this mode all unbalance protection elements would usually be inhibited, i.e. NPS Overcurrent, NPS
OverVoltage, VT Supervision, CT Supervision, and Broken Conductor. It is NOT expected that Directional
elements will be applied as single pole tripping will change the polarising conditions for the sound poles.
In this mode a CBA Trip or CBA Close Command operates only on the A Pole Recloser, ditto for B and C poles.
In this mode 2 pole trips can be issued, any fault diagnosed as affecting 2 poles simultaneously will cause a 2
separate single pole trips which will be followed by two separate single pole reclose sequences. Close pulses to
the two poles are aligned so that if the 2 trips were resultant from the same fault, re-strike does not occur from the
two phases individually such that the fault is perpetuated by passing it from one phase to the other.
Any fault on a healthy phase during a single pole reclose sequence on another phase can cause a separate
single pole trip which will be followed by separate single pole recloses with close pulses aligned.
In this mode any Line Check Trip will result in a 1PT - 1PLO
In this mode a manual Lockout Lever Command on one pole only acts on that pole, there is no cross linking
action to other poles. A Binary Input 79 Lockout is required for each pole and each pole has its own manual
Lockout counter.
In this mode the Hot Line On Command primes a single 3Pole Trip and Lockout 3PT - 3PLO.
Chapter 7 Page 42 of 50
If ARC OFF is selected Modes A & B do 3P Trip & Lockout. Mode C does pole by pole 1PT - 1PLO.
4.4.3
Pole Discrepancy
In Modes A and B the Recloser should not be left with 1 pole open for extended periods. This can occur if a single pole is
opened in Mode C then the Mode is changed to A or B. A Pole Discrepancy output is available which is driven in Mode A
and B only, to indicate that all poles of the recloser are not in the same state. An associated timer, PD Time Delay is set in
the Circuit Breaker menu. This output can be used as an alarm or to cause a three pole trip.Quick Logic Applications

Where a circuit breaker fails to operate to clear fault current the power system will remain in a hazardous state
until the fault is cleared by remote or back-up protections. To minimise any delay, CB Failure protection provides
a signal to either re-trip the local CB or back-trip adjacent CBs.
The function is initiated by the operation of user selectable protection functions or from a binary input. Current
flow is monitored after a tripping signal has been issued if any of the 50BF current check elements have not reset
before the timers have expired an output is given.
The relay incorporates a two-stage circuit breaker fail feature. For some systems, only the first will be used and
the CB Failure output will be used to back-trip the adjacent CB(s). On other systems, however, this output will be
used to re-trip the local CB to minimise potential disruption to the system; if possible via a secondary trip coil and
wiring. The second CB Failure stage will then be used to back-trip the adjacent CB(s).

Settings Guidelines

When a CT fails, the current levels seen by the protection become unbalanced. A large level of NPS current is
therefore detected - around 0.3 x In for one or two CT failures. However this condition would also occur for a
system fault. To differentiate between the two conditions, the element uses NPS voltage to restrain the CTS
algorithm as show in the accompanying table.

CT Failure
Following a CT Failure, there should be little or no NPS voltage. Perhaps 0.1 x Vn as a maximum.
Operation is subject to a time delay to prevent operation for transitory effects.
A 3-phase CT failure is considered so unlikely (these being independent units) that this condition is not tested for.

Although VTs rarely fail themselves, VT Supervision presents a common application because of the failure of
protective Fuses connected in series with the VTs.
When a VT failure occurs on one or two phases, the voltage levels seen by the protection become unbalanced. A
large level of NPS voltage is therefore detected - around 0.3 x Vn for one or two VT failures. However this
condition would also occur for a system fault. To differentiate between the two conditions, the element uses NPS
current to restrain the VTS algorithm as show in the accompanying table.

VT Failure
Following a VT Failure, the level of NPS current would be dependent solely upon load imbalance - perhaps 0.1 x
In as a maximum.
Operation is subject to a time delay to prevent operation for transitory effects.
NPS voltage and current quantities are used rather than ZPS since the latter makes it difficult to differentiate
between a VT failure and a Phase-Phase fault. Both conditions would generate little or no ZPS current. However
the element provides an option to use ZPS quantities to meet some older specifications.
There are possible problems with using NPS quantities due to load imbalances. These would also generate
significant levels of NPS current and so possibly cause a VT failure to be missed. This problem can be overcome
by careful selection of settings, however, setting the NPS current threshold above the level expected for
imbalance conditions.
If a failure occurs in all 3 Phases of a Voltage Transformer, then there will be no NPS or ZPS voltage to work with.
However the PPS Voltage will fall below expected minimum measurement levels.
This could also be due to a close in fault and so PPS Current must remain above minimum load level BUT below
minimum fault level.

Operation is again subject to a time delay to prevent operation for transitory effects.
Alternatively a 3 Phase VT failure can be signalled to the relay via a Binary Input taken from the Trip output of an
external MCB. This can also be reset by a Binary Input signal.
VTS would not normally be used for tripping - it is an alarm rather than fault condition. However the loss of a VT
would cause problems for protection elements that have voltage dependant functionality. For this reason, the
relay allows these protection elements - under-voltage, directional over-current, etc. - to be inhibited if a VT failure
occurs.

Binary Inputs may be used to monitor the integrity of the CB trip circuit wiring. A small current flows through the
B.I. and the trip circuit. This current operates the B.I. confirming the integrity of the auxiliary supply, CB trip coil,
auxiliary switch, C.B. secondary isolating contacts and associated wiring. If monitoring current flow ceases, the
B.I. drops off and if it is user programmed to operate one of the output relays, this can provide a remote alarm. In
addition, an LED on the relay can be programmed to operate. A user text label can be used to define the operated
LED e.g. Trip CCT Fail.
The relevant Binary Input is mapped to 74TCS-n in the INPUT CONFIG>INPUT MATRIX menu. To avoid giving
spurious alarm messages while the circuit breaker is operating the input is given a 0.4s Drop-off Delay in the
INPUT CONFIG>BINARY INPUT CONFIG menu.
To provide an alarm output a normally open binary output is mapped to 74TCS-n.
5.4.1
The following circuits are derived from UK ENA S15 standard schemes H5, H6 and H7.
For compliance with this standard:
Where more than one device is used to trip the CB then connections should be looped between the
tripping contacts. To ensure that all wiring is monitored the binary input must be at the end of the looped
wiring.
Resistors must be continuously rated and where possible should be of wire-wound construction.
Scheme 1 (Basic)
Scheme 1 provides full Trip and Close supervision with the circuit breaker Open or Closed.
Where a Hand Reset Trip contact is used measures must be taken to inhibit alarm indications after a CB trip.

Scheme 2 provides continuous Trip Circuit Supervision of trip coil with the circuit breaker Open or Closed. It does
not provide pre-closing supervision of the connections and links between the tripping contacts and the circuit
breaker and may not therefore be suitable for some circuits which include an isolating link.

This element detects the presence of high levels of 2nd Harmonic current which is indicative of transformer Inrush
current at switch-on. These currents may be above the operate level of the overcurrent elements for a short
duration and it is important that the relay does not issue an incorrect trip command for this transient network
condition.
If a magnetic inrush condition is detected operation of the overcurrent elements can be blocked.
Calculation of the magnetising inrush current level is complex. However a ratio of 20% 2nd Harmonic to
Fundamental current will meet most applications without compromising the integrity of the Overcurrent protection.
There are 3 methods of detection and blocking during the passage of magnetising inrush current.

Sum
Composite 2nd Harmonic content derived for all 3-phases and then compared to
Fundamental current for each individual phase.
Provides good compromise between Inrush stability and fast fault detection.

5.6
Used to detect an open circuit condition when a conductor breaks or a mal-operation occurs in phase segregated
switchgear.
There will be little or no fault current and so overcurrent elements will not detect the condition. However the
condition can be detected because there will be a high content of NPS (unbalance) current present.
An NPS / PPS ratio > 50% will result from a Broken Conductor condition.
Operation is subject to a time delay to prevent operation for transitory effects.

Circuit-Breaker Maintenance
The Relay provides Total, Delta and Frequent CB Operation Counters alongwith an I2t Counter to estimate the
amount of wear and tear experienced by a Circuit-Breaker. Alarm can be provided once set levels have been
exceeded.
Typically estimates obtained from previous circuit-breaker maintenance schedules are used for setting these
alarm levels. The relay instrumentation provides the current values of these counters.
