1 Model information
Manufacturer Siemens
Model 7UM62X
Variants The Siemens 7UM62X PowerFactory relay models can be used to simulate the
different firmware versions of the Siemens 7UM621, and 7UM622 Multifunction Generator,
Motor and Transformer Protection relays. The relay version used to implement the model is
Siemens 7UM62X V4.6 . However please consider that the model has been implemented with a
reduced set of the features available in the relays.
2 General description
The SIPROTEC 4 7UM62 is a numerical machine protection unit from the ”7UM6 Numerical
Protection” series. It provides all functions necessary for protection of generators, motors and
transformers. As the scope of functions of the 7UM62 can be customized, it is suited for small,
medium-sized and large generators. The 7UM62 device is usable for further applications such as
• Transformer protection, as the 7UM62 has in addition to differential and overcurrent protec-
tion a large variety of protection functions that allow, for instance, monitoring of the voltage
and frequency load.
The Siemens 7UM62X relays has been modeled using two PowerFactory relay models; the
following relay models are available:
• Siemens 7UM62X 1 A
• Siemens 7UM62X 5 A
Each relay model consists of a main relay and of the following seven sub relays:
The main relays includes the measurement and acquisition elements, the seven subrelays and
the output logic.
The model implementation has been based on the information available in the relay documenta-
tion provided by the manufacturer and freely available [1].
3 Supported features
It represents the interface between the power system and the relay protective elements. The
currents flowing in the power system are converted by two elements which model two 3 phase
CTs, one element modeling a single phase CT which measures the neutral current and by an
element which models a 3 phase VT; the secondary currents and voltages are then measured by
five elements which model the digital filters of the relay and calculate the voltage and frequency
RMS values and vector components.
3.1.2 Functionality
The ”Ct”, the ”Remote Ct”, and the ”Neutral Ct” block represent ideal CTs. Using the CT default
configuration the current at the primary side are converted to the secondary side using the CT
ratio. The CT saturation and/or its magnetizing characteristic are not considered. Please set the
”Detailed Model” check box in the ”Detailed Data” tab page of the CT dialog and insert the data
regarding the CT burden, the CT secondary resistance and the CT excitation parameter if more
accurate simulation results are required.
The measurement blocks calculate the first harmonic components of the currents using a DFT
filter operating over a full cycle.
The 3phase voltage measurement element (”Side 1 Measurement DVoltage” block) calculates the
phase-phase voltages which, depending upon the relay settings, can be used by the over/under
voltage elements instead of the phase-ground voltages.
The ”Side 2 Measurement” block measure the 3phase current at a remote location and represent
the 2nd measurement source for the differential elements.
The single phase measurement element (”Meas Neutral I” block) measures the neutral current
converted by the core Ct (”Neutral Ct” block). If no core CT is available please select the 3
phases CT also in the ”Neutral Ct” slot: the earth current will be calculated assuming that an
Holmgreen’s connection of the phases is used.
No user input is required but the relay model version with the secondary rated value which
matches the CT rated current must be used.
• One 3 phase definite time overcurrent element with seal in feature (”I >(50-51)”, ”U <(I>)”,
and ”tI >” block).
• One 3 phase direction definite time overcurrent element (”I > >” block).
• One 3 phase directional element (”Line angle” block).
• Two definite time sensitive earth fault elements (”IEE >” and ”IEE > >” block).
3.2.2 Functionality
The overcurrent subrelay consists of a thermal image element and of a set of phase, negative
sequence and zero sequence overcurrent elements. One phase overcurrent element (”I > >” block)
and one zero sequence element (”3Io >” block) are directional elements. One phase overcurrent
element ((”I>(50-51)” block) can be set with the seal in feature activated by the voltage collapse
and one phase overcurrent element (”Ip 51V” block) has a more common voltage restrain feature.
The inverse time overcurrent element (”Ip 51V” ) supports the following inverse characteristics:
The inverse time trip characteristic equations comply with the IEC 60255-3 and the IEEE standard
equations. The thermal image element (”Thermal overload” block) calculates the trip time using
the IEC 60255-8 equation.
The relationships between the relay settings and the model parameters can be found in the
following table(the relay model parameter names are listed between brackets):
Figure 3.1: Siemens 7UM62X overcurrent elements (50/ subrelay connection scheme
The Siemens 7UM62X voltage elements (F27/59) subrelay contains a set of phase-phase and
phase-ground overvoltage elements, one set of positive sequence undervoltage elements and
two overfluxing elements.
• Two phase-ground define time overvoltage elements (”U >Ph-E” and ”U > >Ph-E” block).
• Two phase-phase define time overvoltage elements (”U >Ph-Ph” and ”U > >Ph-Ph” block).
• One positive sequence definite time undervoltage element(”Up <” block).
• Two positive sequence define time undervoltage elements (”U <” and ”U < <” block).
• One inverse time overfluxing element (”U/f >” block).
• One definite time overfluxing element (”U/f > >” block).
3.3.2 Functionality
The set consisting of two 3 phase overvoltage and two 3phase undervoltage elements is dupli-
cated: one set is fed by the phase-phase voltages , one set is fed by the phase-ground voltages;
only one set, accordingly with the value of the ”VALUES” (address 4107A) relay parameter, can
be active at the same time.
The relationships between the relay settings and the model parameters can be found in the
following table (the relay model parameter names are listed between brackets):
Figure 3.2: Siemens 7UM62X voltage elements (F27/59) subrelay connection scheme
The Siemens 7UM62X frequency (F81) subrelay contains the elements which simulate the
Frequency Protection (ANSI 81) and the Rate-of-Frequency-Change Protection df/dt (ANSI 81R)
protective feature.
• Eight frequency elements (”f1 (1st threshold)”, ”f1 (2nd threshold)”, ”f2 (1st threshold)”, ”f2
(2nd threshold)”, ”f3 (1st threshold)”, ”f3 (2nd threshold)”, ”f4 (1st threshold)” and ”f4 (2nd
threshold)” block).
• Two definite time undervoltage elements (”U MIN” and ”Umin” block).
• Four rate of frequency change elements (”df1/dt”, ”df2/dt”, ”df3/dt”, and ”df4/dt” block).
• One frequency calculation element (”Meas Freq” block).
3.4.2 Functionality
Two independent under voltage elements can be used to block the frequency element set (”Umin”
block) and the rate of frequency change element set (”U MIN” block).
The frequency is measured by the ”Meas Freq” block which uses by default the phase A - phase
B voltage.
The relationships between the relay settings and the model parameters can be found in the
following table (the relay model parameter names are listed between brackets):
Separated blocks are use to model each frequency element (i.e. ”f1 (1st threshold)” and ” f1 (2nd
threshold)” are modeling the ”f1” relay element); please consider that the time delay is an unique
value so the same time delay must be set in both blocks.
The Siemens 7UM62X power (F32) elements (F21) subrelay models the main features of the
active over/underpower elements and of the reverse power element.
• One forward over activepower definite time element (”Pf >” block).
• One forward under activepower definite time element (”Pf <” block).
• Two reverse over active power definite time elements (”P>Reverse T-SV-OPEN” and
”P>Reverse T-SV-CLOSED” block).
• Two elements calculating the forward and the reverse active power (”PQ calc” and ”Power
Calculator” block).
3.5.2 Functionality
The ”P >Reverse T-SV-OPEN” or the ”P>Reverse T-SV-CLOSED” block must be enabled manually
to simulate the effect of the binary input which transfer the emergency tripping valve position.
Both blocks must be set with an identical trip threshold.
The relationships between the relay settings and the model parameters can be found in the
following table (the relay model parameter names are listed between brackets):
Figure 3.4: Siemens 7UM62X power (F32) elements (F21) subrelay connection scheme
The Siemens 7UM62X loss of field (F40) subrelay models 3 loss of field characteristics with
voltage supervisioning.
3.6.2 Functionality
The subrelay processes all three phase currents all three phase voltages. The ”Characteristic1-A”
admittance blinder and the ”Characteristic1-B” admittance blinder model the Characteristic 1
shape. The ”Characteristic3-A” admittance blinder and the ”Characteristic3-B” admittance blinder
simulate the Characteristic 3 shape. A different timer is associated to each characteristic.
The admittance blinder elements are not displayed in the PowerFactory R-X digram.
The relationships between the relay settings and the model parameters can be found in the
following table (the relay model parameter names are listed between brackets):
Figure 3.5: Siemens 7UM62X loss of field (F40) subrelay connection scheme
The Siemens 7UM62X distance elements (F21) subrelay contains 3 polygonal distance zones
which check both the phase and the ground loop impedances and two out of step zones with
phase and negative sequence release logic.
• Three timers associated to the polygonal zones (”Zone#1 Trip delay”, ”Zone#1b Trip delay”,
and ”Zone#2 Trip delay” block).
• One power swing detector element (”Power Swing” block).
• Two out of step detector elements (”Out of Step Characteristic 1” and ”Out of Step Charac-
teristic 2” block).
• Two out of step zone elements (”OOS Characteristic 1” and ”OOS Characteristic 2” block).
• One positive sequence overcurrent element (”I1 >Release” block).
• One negative sequence overcurrent element (”I2 <Release” block).
3.7.2 Functionality
The polygonal zones, controlled by an overcurrent starting logic (”Starting” block), check both
the phase and the ground loops impedances calculated by the polarizing element (”Polarizing”
block). A separate timer is associate to each distance zone (”Zone#1 Trip delay”, ”Zone#1b Trip
delay”, and ”Zone#2 Trip delay” block). The distance zones are blocked when a power swing
condition has been detected by the power swing detector element (”Power Swing” block).
Two separate elements (”Out of Step Characteristic 1” and ”Out of Step Characteristic 2” block)
can be used to detect an out of step condition and to trip the relay. The out of step zones (”OOS
Characteristic 1” and ”OOS Characteristic 2” block) are enabled only when the positive sequence
current is greater than an user defined threshold (”I1 >Release” block) and the negative sequence
current is smaller than another user defined threshold (”I2 <Release” block).
A backup delayed trip can be triggered by an additional timer (”T END” block).
The relationships between the relay settings and the model parameters can be found in the
following table (the relay model parameter names are listed between brackets):
Figure 3.6: Siemens 7UM62X distance elements (F21) subrelay connection scheme
The Siemens 7UM62X differential subrelay contains a 3 phase differential element with harmonic
blocking and a REF differential element.
• One single phase current measurement element (”Earth Diff RMS Measure” block, ancillary
to the single phase differential element).
• Four frequency measurement elements (”CT1 2nd Harmonic Measurement”, ”CT1 5th
Harmonic Measurement”, ”CT2 2nd Harmonic Measurement”, and ”CT2 5th Harmonic
Measurement” block).
• One 3 phase definite time overcurrent element (”REF I> BLOCK” block).
• One single phase definite time overvoltage element (”REF Uo> RELEASE” block).
3.8.2 Functionality
The following features are available in the 3phase differential element (”Phase Differential” block):
• Double bias current percentage restraint differential with user configurable differential
threshold and user configurable restraint slopes and slopes thresholds.
• Unrestrained differential with user configurable threshold.
• User configurable time delay (shared by both differentials).
• 2nd harmonic restraint of the first differential with user configurable threshold.
• 5th harmonic restraint of the first differential with user configurable threshold.
The differential element calculates for each phase the average of the input currents. The average
values are then used to calculate the differential threshold considering the user configurable
double bias current percentage restraint.
The measurement element (”Ph Diff RMS Measure” block) is used to calculate the RMS value
of the differential current. The differential current vector components (or instantaneous values
during the EMT simulation) are calculated by the differential element.
The earth differential element is a REF(Restricted Earth Fault) differential which compares the
neutral current with the zero sequence current measured by the ”Ct” CT.
The following features are available in the earth differential element (”Earth differential” block):
• Single bias current percentage restraint differential with user configurable differential
threshold and user configurable restraint slope.
The restricted earth fault element calculates the average of the neutral current and of the zero
sequence current. This value is used to calculate the earth fault differential threshold considering
the user configurable single bias current percentage restraint.
The measurement element (”Earth Diff RMS Measure” block) is used to calculate the RMS
value of the restricted earth fault differential current. The restricted earth fault differential current
vector components (or instantaneous values during the EMT simulation) are calculated by the
differential element.
The differential element is blocked when the zero sequence voltage is below the threshold set in
the ”REF Uo>RELEASE” block or when the phase current is above the threshold set in the ”REF
I >BLOCK” block.
