 SIPROTEC 4 – 7SA522
Distance Protection Relay for Transmission Lines
Description
Application
The 7SA522 relay provides
full scheme distance protec-
tion and incorporates all func-
tions usually required for the
protection of a power line.
The relay is designed to pro-
vide fast and selective fault
clearance on transmission
and subtransmission over-
head lines and cables. This
contributes towards impro-
ved stability and availability
of your electrical power
transmission system. The po-
wer system star point can
be solid or impedance groun-
ded (earthed). The 7SA522 is
suitable for single- and
three-phase tripping applica-
tions with and without pilot-
(tele-) protection schemes.
The effect of apparent impe-
dances in unfaulted fault
loops is eliminated by a
sophisticated and improved
method which uses pattern
recognition with symmetrical
components and load com-
pensation. The correct phase
selection is essential for se-
lective tripping and reliable
fault location.
During network power
swings an improved power
swing blocking feature pre-
vents the distance protection
from unwanted tripping and
optionally provides controlled
tripping in the event of loss
of synchronism (out of step).
This function guarantees po-
wer transmission even under
critical network operating
conditions.
Maximum Lifetime and
Reliability
The 7SA522 hardware is ba-
sed on 20 years of experi-
ence by Siemens with nume-
rical protection. State-of-the-
art 32 bit microprocessor
technology is employed.
Naturally the device complies
with the latest standards and
techniques for electromagne-
tic compatibility. The overall
number of electronic compo-
nents is substantially redu-
ced by using large-scale inte-
grated circuits.
The relay software is desig-
ned in accordance with high
level programming language
techniques. The long experi-
ence in manufacturing nume-
rical relays provide the basis
2 Siemens SIP 4.2 · 08/99
for a modern software struc-
ture. This along with modern
manufacturing techniques
and quality controls ensure
maximum lifetime and relia-
bility.
Cost-effective power
system management
The SIPROTEC 4 units are
numerical relays which also
provide control and monito-
ring functions and therefore
support the user in view of a
cost-effective power system
management. They contribu-
te towards the reliable
supply of electric power to
the customers.
Local operation has been de-
signed according to ergono -
mic criteria. Large, easy-to-
read displays are a major de-
sign aim.
The SIPROTEC 4 units have
a uniform design and a de-
gree of functionality which
represents a whole new

Digital communication
With respect to communica-
tion, particular emphasis is
placed on the customer re-
quirements in energy auto-
mation:
− Every data item is time-
stamped at the source, i.e.
where it originates.
− The communication sy-
stem automatically handles
the transfer of large data
blocks (e.g. fault recor-
dings or parameter data
files). The user has access
to these features without
any additional program-
ming effort.
− For the safe execution of a
control command the cor-
responding data telegram
is initially acknowledged by
the device which will exe-
cute the command. After
the release and execution
of the command a feed-
back signal is generated.
At every stage of the con-
trol command execution
particular conditions are
checked. If these are not
satisfied, command execu-
tion may be terminated in a
controlled manner.
Local PC interface
The PC interface accessible
from the front of the unit per-

Distance Protection Relay for Transmission Lines
Functions
Distance protection
(ANSI 21, 21N)
Full-scheme design
The main function of the
7SA522 is a full-scheme di-
stance protection. By parallel
calculation and monitoring of
all six impedance loops a
high degree of sensitivity and
selectivity is achieved for all
types of faults. The shortest
tripping time is less than one
cycle. Single- and three- pole
tripping is possible.
MHO and quadrilateral
characteristics
The 7SA522 relay provides
quadrilateral as well as MHO
zone characteristics. Both
characteristics can be used
separately for phase and
ground faults. Resistance
ground faults can for instan-
ce be covered with the
quadrilateral characteristic
and phase faults with the
mho characteristic.
Load bias
In order to guarantee a relia-
ble discrimination between
load operation and short cir-
cuit – especially on long high
loaded lines – the relay is
equipped with a selectable
load encroachment characte-
ristic. Impedances within this
load encroachment charac-
teristic will prevent the dis-
tance zones from unwanted
tripping.
Absolute phase-selectivity
The 7SA522 distance protec-
tion incorporates a well pro-
ven highly sophisticated pha-
se selection algorithm. The
pickup of unfaulted loops is
eliminated to prevent the
adverse influence of currents
and voltages in the fault free
loops. This phase selection
algorithm achieves single
pole tripping and correct di-
stance measurement in a
wide application range.
Parallel line compensation
The influence of wrong di-
stance measurement due to
parallel lines can be compen-
sated by feeding the neutral
current of the parallel line to

Fault locator
The integrated fault locator cal-
culates the fault impedance
and the distance-to-fault. The
result is displayed in ohms, mi-
les, kilometers or in percent of
the line length. Parallel line and
load current compensation is
also available.

Power swing detection

(ANSI 68, 68T)
Dynamic occurrences, for in-
stance short circuits, load fluc-
tuations, autoreclosures or
switching operations can cause
power swings in the transmis-
sion network. During power
swings, large currents along
with small voltages can cause
unwanted tripping of distance
protection relays. To avoid un-
controlled tripping of the dis-
tance protection and to achieve
controlled tripping in the event
of loss of synchronism the
7SA522 relay is equipped with
an efficient power swing de-
tection function. Power swings
can be detected under symme-
trical load conditions as well as
during single pole autoreclosu-
res.
Pilot- (Tele-) protection for
distance protection
(ANSI 85-21)
A pilot protection function is
available for fast clearance of
faults up to 100% of the line
length. The following operating
modes may be selected:
− PUTT, permissive underre-
aching zone transfer trip
− POTT, permissive overre-
aching zone transfer trip
− UNBLOCKING
− BLOCKING
− DUTT, direct underreaching
zone transfer trip (together
with Direct Transfer Trip
function)
The carrier send and receive
signals are available as binary
inputs and outputs and can be
assigned freely to each physi-
cal relay input or output. At
least one channel is required
for each direction.
Common transmission chan-
nels are power-line carrier, mi-
crowave radio and fiber-optic
links.
Figure 22
Power swing current and voltage wave forms
A serial remote relay interface
is in preparation for direct con-
nection to a digital communi-

7SA522 also permits the trans-
fer of phase-selective signals.
This function requires three
channels for each direction.
This feature is particularly ad-
vantageous as it permits to
execute reliable single-pole trip-
ping, even if two single-phase
faults occur on different lines. Figure 23

Distance Protection Relay for Transmission Lines
Functions
Weak infeed protection:
echo and/or trip
(ANSI 27 WI)
To prevent delayed tripping
of permissive schemes
during weak or zero infeed
situations, an echo function
is provided. If no fault
detector is picked up at the
weak infeed end of the line,
the signal received here is
returned as echo to allow
accelerated tripping at the
strong infeed end of the line.
It is also possible to initiate
tripping at the weak infeed
end. A phase-selective 1-pole
or 3-pole trip is issued if a
permissive trip signal (POTT
or Unblocking) is received
and a if the phase-ground
(earth) voltage drops cor-
respondingly.
Directional ground (earth)
fault overcurrent protec-
tion for high-resistance
faults
(ANSI 50N, 51N, 67N)
In grounded (earthed) net-
works the sensitivity of the
ground distance protection
may not cover ground faults
with high fault resistances.
The 7SA522 protection relay
has therefore protection
functions for high-resistance
ground faults of this nature.
The ground fault overcurrent
protection can be used with
3 definite time stages and
one inverse time stage
(IDMT). A 4th definite time
stage can be applied instead
of the one inverse time
stage.
The available ANSI/ IEEE in-
verse-time curves are:
• Inverse
• Short inverse
• Long inverse
• Moderately inverse
• Very inverse
• Extremely inverse
• Definite inverse
An additional logarithmic in-
verse time characteristic is
also available.
The direction decision is per-
formed with the neutral cur-
rent and the zero sequence
voltage or with the negative
sequence components V2
and I2. In addition or as an

This feature is particularly im-
portant for low zero sequen-
ce fault currents which usual-
ly have a high content of 3rd
and 5th harmonic. Inrush sta-
bilization and instantaneous
switch-onto-fault trip can be
activated separately for each
stage as well.
Different operating modes
can be selected. The ground
fault protection may be
blocked during the dead time
of single-pole autoreclose cy-
cles or during pickup of the
distance protection.

combined with one of the fol-
lowing pilot schemes:

Functions
Instantaneous high-speed
switch-onto-fault overcur-
rent protection
(ANSI 50HS)
Instantaneous tripping is pos-
sible when energizing a faul-
ty line. On definite large-fault
currents, the high-speed
switch-onto-fault overcurrent
stage can initiate very fast 3-
pole tripping.
With lower fault currents, in-
stantaneous tripping after
switch-onto-fault is also pos-
sible with the overreach di-
stance zone Z1B or just with
pickup in any zone.
The switch-onto-fault initiati-
on can be detected via the
binary input ”manual close”
or automatically via mea-
surement.
Overvoltage protection
(ANSI 59)
Impermissible overvoltages
can occur on long transmissi-
on lines without or with low
load. The 7SA522 protection
relay contains an overvoltage
protection function. Two sta-
ges are available: One phase-
segregated stage and one
zero-sequence voltage stage.
The residual voltage from a
broken-delta VT winding can
be directly measured via the
V4-voltage transformer input
(Ven-voltage) or can be
calculated internally as 3V0 .
Tripping can be performed at
the local circuit breaker or at
the remote end of the line by
sending an intertripping si-
gnal.
Breaker failure protection
(ANSI 50BF)
The 7SA522 relay incorpora-
tes a two-stage circuit-brea-
ker failure protection to de-
tect failures of tripping com-
mands execution, for examp-
le due to a defective circuit-
breaker. The current detec-
tion logic is phase-segrega-
ted and can therefore also be
used in single-pole tripping
schemes. If the fault current
has not been interrupted af-
ter a settable time delay is
expired, a retrip command or
the busbar trip command is
generated. The breaker failu -
re protection can be initiated
by all integrated protection
functions as well as by exter-
nal devices via binary input
signals.
Automatic reclosing
(ANSI 79)
The 7SA522 relay is equip-
ped with an automatic reclo -
sing function (AR). The func -
tion includes several opera-
ting modes:
• 3-pole auto reclosing for all
types of faults; different
dead times are available de -
pending the type of fault
• 1-pole auto reclosing for 1-
phase faults, no reclosing
for multi-phase faults
• 1-pole auto reclosing for 1-
phase faults and for 2-phase
faults without earth, no -

faults
• 1-pole auto reclosing for 1-
phase and 3-pole auto reclo-
sing for multi-phase faults
• 1-pole auto reclosing for 1-
phase faults and 2-phase
faults without earth and 3-
pole aut o reclosing for other
faults
• Multiple-shot auto reclosing
• Interaction with an external
device for automatic reclo-

tion
• Interaction with the internal

• Monitoring of the circuit-
breaker auxiliary contacts
• Voltage check for discrimi-

In addition to the above men -
tioned operating modes, se-
veral other operating princip-
les can be performed by
means of the integrated pro-
grammable logic (CFC).

Control and automatic functions
Control
In addition to the protection
functions, the SIPROTEC 4
units also support all control
and monitoring functions re-
quired for operating medium-
voltage or high-voltage sub-
stations. The main applica-
tion is reliable control of
switching and other proces-
ses. The status of primary
equipment or auxiliary de-
vices can be obtained from
auxiliary contacts and com-
municated to the 7SA522 via
binary inputs. Therefore it is
possible to detect and indi-
cate both the OPEN and
CLOSED position or a faulty
or intermediate circuit-brea-
ker or auxiliary contact posi-
tion. The switchgear or cir-
cuit-breaker can be controlled
via:
− integrated operator panel
− binary inputs
− substation control system
− DIGSI 4.
Automation
With the integrated logic, the
user can set specific func-
tions for the automation of
the switchgear or substation
by means of a graphic inter-
face (CFC). Functions are ac-
tivated by means of function
keys, binary inputs or via the
communication interface.
Switching authority
The following hierarchy of
switching authority is appli-
cable: ”LOCAL”, DIGSI 4 PC
program, ”REMOTE”. The
switching authority is deter-
mined according to parame-
ters or by DIGSI 4. If the
”LOCAL” mode is selected,
only local switching opera-
tions are possible. Every
switching operation and
change of breaker position is
stored in the status indication
memory. The switch
command source, switching
device, cause (i.e. spontane-
ous change or command)
and result of a switching
operation are retained.
Command processing
The 7SA522 offers all func-
tions required for command
processing, including the
processing of single and
double commands with or
without feedback as well as
sophisticated monitoring of
the control hardware and
software. Control actions

The bidirectional transducer registers binary
information at two binary inputs and forwards
it via fibre-optic cable to a second transducer,
which outputs the signals via contacts.
Distances of about 3 km can be realized directly
via multimode fibre-optic cables. The repeater
7XV5451 is available for distances up to 14 km
via monomode fibre-optic cable. Because of serial
transmission connection can also be made by
standby modem or a digital network via the
asynchronous RS232 interface.
