Commissioning and operation of the equipment (module, device) as set out in this manual may only be carried
out by qualified personnel. Qualified personnel in terms of the technical safety information as set out in this
manual are persons who are authorized to commission, activate, to ground and to designate devices, systems
and electrical circuits in accordance with the safety standards.
Use as prescribed
The operational equipment (device, module) may only be used for such applications as set out in the catalogue
and the technical description, and only in combination with third-party equipment recommended or approved
by Siemens.
The successful and safe operation of the device is dependent on proper handling, storage, installation, opera-
tion, and maintenance.
When operating an electrical equipment, certain parts of the device are inevitably subject to dangerous voltage.
Severe personal injury or property damage may result if the device is not handled properly.
Before any connections are made, the device must be grounded to the ground terminal.
All circuit components connected to the voltage supply may be subject to dangerous voltage.
Dangerous voltage may be present in the device even after the power supply voltage has been removed (ca-
pacitors can still be charged).
Operational equipment with exposed current transformer circuits may not be operated.
The limit values as specified in this manual or in the operating instructions may not be exceeded. This aspect
must also be observed during testing and commissioning.
The following text formats are used when literal information from the device or to the device appear in the text
flow:

1.3 Characteristics 23
The numerical, multi-functional protection device SIPROTEC 7SJ61 is equipped with a powerful microproces-
sor. It allows all tasks to be processed digitally, from the acquisition of measured quantities to sending com-
mands to circuit breakers. Figure 1-1 shows the basic structure of the device.
Analog Inputs
The measuring inputs (MI) convert the currents coming from the instrument transformers and adapt them to the
level appropriate for the internal processing of the device. The device has 4 current inputs. three of these are
for the input of the phase currents. Depending on the model, the fourth current input (IN) may be used for mea-
suring the ground fault current IN (current transformer starpoint) or for a separate ground current transformer
(for ground fault detection INs). The analog input quantities are passed on to the input amplifiers (IA).
The input amplifier IA stage provides a high-resistance termination for the input quantities. It consists of filters
that are optimized for measured-value processing with regard to bandwidth and processing speed.
The analog-to-digital (AD) element consists of a multiplexor, an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter and of
memory components for the transmission of digital signals to the microcomputer system.
Microcomputer System
Apart from processing the measured values, the microcomputer system (µC) also executes the actual protec-
tion and control functions. They especially include:
• Filtering and preparation of the measured quantities
• Continuous monitoring of the measured quantities
• Monitoring of the pickup conditions for the individual protective functions
• Interrogation of limit values and sequences in time
• Control of signals for the logic functions
• Output of control commands for switching devices
• Recording of messages, fault data and fault values for analysis
• Management of the operating system and the associated functions such as data recording, real-time clock,
communication, interfaces, etc.
• The information is distributed via output amplifiers (OA).
Binary inputs and outputs to and from the computer system are relayed via the input/output modules. The com-
puter system obtains the information from the system (e.g. remote resetting) or the external equipment (e.g.
blocking commands). Outputs are, in particular, commands to the switchgear units and annunciations for
remote signalling of important events and statuses.
Front Elements
Optical indicators (LEDs) and a front display panel (LC display) provide information on the function of the
device, and indicate events, states and measured values.
Integrated control and numeric keys in conjunction with the LCD facilitate local interaction with the device. Via
these elements all information of the device such as configuration and setting parameters, operating and fault
messages, and measured values can be accessed. Setting parameters may be changed in the same way.
In addition, control of circuit breakers and other equipment is possible from the front panel of the device.
Serial Interfaces
The Front PC Interface is provided for local communications with a personal computer using the DIGSI soft-
ware. This facilitates a comfortable handling of all device functions.
The Rear Service Interface can also be used to communicate with the relay from a PC running the DIGSI soft-
ware. This interface is especially well suited for a permanent connection of the devices to the PC or for oper-
ation via a modem. The service interface can also be used to connect an RTD box (= resistance temperature
detector) for obtaining external temperatures (e.g. for overload protection).
All data can be transferred to a central control center or monitoring system via the serial System Interface.
This interface may be provided with various protocols and physical transmission schemes to suit the particular
application.
A further interface is provided for the time synchronization of the internal clock via external synchronization
sources.
A range of communication protocols are available from a variety of additional interface modules.
The operator or service interface allows you to operate the device from a remote location or on site using a
standard browser. This is possible during commissioning, checking and also during operation of the devices.
The SIPROTEC 4 Standard „WEBMonitor“ is available for this task.
Power Supply
A power supply unit (Vaux or PS) delivers power to the functional units on the different voltage levels. Voltage
dips may occur if the voltage supply system (substation battery) becomes short-circuited. Usually, they are
bridged by a capacitor (see also Technical Data).
The numerical, multi-functional SIPROTEC 4 7SJ61 is a versatile device designed for protection, control and
monitoring of busbar feeders. For line protection, the device can be used in networks with earthed, low resis-
tance earthed, isolated or compensated neutral point. It is suited for networks that are radial and supplied from
a single source or open looped networks. The device is equipped with motor protection applicable for asyn-
chronous machines of all sizes.
The device includes the functions that are necessary for protection, for monitoring of circuit breaker positions,
and control of the circuit breakers in straight bus applications or breaker-and-a-half configurations; therefore,
the devices can be universally employed. The devices also provide excellent backup facilities of differential pro-
tective schemes of lines, transformers, generators, motors, and busbars of all voltage levels.
Protective Functions
Non-directional overcurrent protection (50, 50N, 51, 51N) is the basis of the device. There are three definite
time overcurrent protective elements and one inverse time element for the phase currents and the ground cur-
rent. For inverse time overcurrent protective elements, several curves of different standards are provided. Al-
ternatively, user-defined characteristic can be programmed.
Depending on the variant ordered, the overcurrent time protection can feature breaker failure protection and
ground fault protection for high-resistence ground short-circuits and faults.
In addition to the fault protection functions already mentioned, other protective functions are available. Some
of them depend on the version of the device that is ordered. These additional functions include negative se-
quence protection (46), thermal overload protection (49) with start inhibit for motors (66/68), and motor starting
protection (48), as well as automatic reclosing (79) which allows different reclosing cycles on overhead lines.
An automatic reclosing system may also be connected externally.
A protection feature can be ordered for the detection of intermittent ground faults which detects and accumu-
lates transient ground faults.
External detectors account for ambient temperatures or coolant temperatures (by means of an external RTD-
box).
Control Functions
The device features a control function for activating and deactivating switchgears via the integrated operator
panel, the system interface, binary inputs, and the serial port using a personal computer with DIGSI.
The status of the primary equipment can be transmitted to the device via auxiliary contacts connected to binary
inputs. The present status (or position) of the primary equipment can be displayed on the device, and used for
interlocking or plausibility monitoring. The number of the operating equipment to be switched is limited by the
binary inputs and outputs available in the device or the binary inputs and outputs allocated for the switch posi-
tion indications. Depending on the primary equipment being controlled, one binary input (single point indication)
or two binary inputs (double point indication) may be used for this process.
The capability of switching primary equipment can be restricted by a setting associated with switching authority
(Remote or Local), and by the operating mode (interlocked/non-interlocked, with or without password request).
Processing of interlocking conditions for switching (e.g. switchgear interlocking) can be established with the aid
of integrated, user-configurable logic functions.
The operational indications provide information about conditions in the power system and the device. Measure-
ment quantities and values that are calculated can be displayed locally and communicated via the serial inter-
faces.
Device messages can be assigned to a number of LEDs on the front cover (allocatable), can be externally pro-
cessed via output contacts (allocatable), linked with user-definable logic functions and/or issued via serial in-
terfaces.
During a fault (system fault) important events and changes in conditions are saved in fault protocols (Event Log
or Trip Log). Instantaneous fault values are also saved in the device and may be analized subsequently.
Communication
The following interfaces are available for the communication with external operating, control and memory sys-
tems.
A 9-pole DSUB miniature female connector on the front panel serves the purpose of local communication with
a PC. By means of the SIPROTEC 4 operating software DIGSI, all operational and evaluation tasks can be
executed via this operator interface, such as specifying and modifying configuration parameters and settings,
configuring user-specific logic functions, retrieving operational messages and measured values, inquiring
device conditions and measured values, issuing control commands.
Depending on the individual ordering variant, additional interfaces are located at the rear side of the device.
They serve to establish extensive communication with other digital operating, control and memory components:
The service interface can be operated via electrical data lines or fiber optics and also allows communication
via modem. For this reason, remote operation is possible via personal computer and the DIGSI operating soft-
ware, e.g. to operate several devices via a central PC.
The system interface ensures the central communication between the device and the substation controller. It
can also be operated via data lines or fiber optic cables. Standard protocols are available to transmit data ac-
cording to IEC 60870-5-103 via system port. The integration of the devices into the automation systems
SINAUT LSA and SICAM can also take place with this profile.
Alternatively, field bus coupling with PROFIBUS FMS is available for SIPROTEC 4. The PROFIBUS FMS ac-
cording to DIN 19245 is an open communication standard that particularly has wide acceptance in process
control and automation engineering, with exceptional high performance. A profile has been defined for the
PROFIBUS communication that covers all of the information types required for protection and process control
engineering. The integration of the devices into the power automation system SICAM can also take place with
this profile.
Besides the field-bus connection with PROFIBUS FMS, further couplings are possible with PROFIBUS DP and
the protocols DNP3.0 and MODBUS. These protocols do not support all possibilities which are offered by
PROFIBUS FMS.

2.1 General 28
2.1 General
The settings associated with the various device functions may be modified using the operating or service inter-
face in DIGSI in conjunction with a personal computer. Some parameters may also be changed using the con-
trols on the front panel of the device. The procedure is set out in detail in the SIPROTEC System Description /1/.
The 7SJ61 relay contains protection functions as well as many other functions. The hardware and firmware is
designed for this scope of functions. Additionally, the control functions can be matched to the system require-
ments. Individual functions can be activated or deactivated during the configuration procedure. The interaction
of functions may also be modified.
2.1.1.1 Description
Configuration of Functions
A protected system consists of overhead lines and underground cables. Since automatic reclosing is only
needed for the overhead lines, the automatic reclosing function is not configured or "Disabled" for the relays
protecting the underground cables.
The available protection and additional functions must be configured as Enabled or Disabled. For individual
functions a choice between several alternatives is possible, as described below.
Functions configured as Disabled are not processed by the 7SJ61. There are no indications, and correspond-
ing settings (functions, limit values) are not queried during configuration.
Note
Available functions and default settings depend on the ordering code of the relay (see Section A.1 for details).
Configuration settings can be entered using a PC and the software program DIGSI and transferred via the front
serial port or the rear service interface of the device. The operation via DIGSI is explained in the SIPROTEC 4
System Description.
For changing configuration parameters in the device, password no.7 is required (for parameter set). Without
the password, the settings can be read but not modified and transmitted to the device.
The functional scope with the available options is set in the Functional Scope dialog box to match plant re-
quirements.
Special Features
Most settings are self-explanatory. The special features are described below.
If you want to use the setting group change function, set address 103 Grp Chge OPTION to Enabled. Simple
and fast changeover between up to four different setting groups is possible in service. Only one setting group
can be selected and used if this option is Disabled.
For the overcurrent elements of the time overcurrent protection (separately for phase currents and ground cur-
rent), various tripping characteristics can be selected at address 112 Charac. Phase and 113 Charac.
Ground. If only the definite characteristic is desired, then Definite Time should be selected. Additionally,
depending on the version ordered, various inverse time characteristics, based on either IEC (TOC IEC) stan-
dards or ANSI (TOC ANSI standards), or user-defined characteristic are available for selection. The dropout
behaviour of the IEC and ANSI characteristics will be specified later with settings (addresses 1210 and 1310).
But for the user-defined characteristic, you can choose in address 112 and 113 whether to specify only the
pickup characteristic (User Defined PU) or the pickup and the dropout characteristic (User def. Reset).
Additionally, the superimposed high-current elements 50-2 and 50-3 are available in all these cases. Time over-
current protection may be set to Disabled during configuration.
For (sensitive) ground fault detection, address 131Sens. Gnd Fault is used to specify whether this function
should be enabled with definite time tripping characteristics (Definite Time), a User Defined PU and two
logarithmic inverse characteristics or Disabled.
For the intermittent ground fault protection, you can specify the measured quantity (with Ignd, with 3I0 or
with Ignd,sens.) to be used by this protection function at address 133 INTERM.EF.
For negative sequence current protection, address 140 46 is used to specify whether the tripping characteris-
tics should be Definite Time, TOC ANSI or TOC IEC, or whether the function is to be Disabled.
For overload protection, address 142 49 allows you to specify whether the thermal replica of the overload pro-
tection will account for a coolant temperature or ambient temperature (With amb. temp.) or not (No
ambient temp), or whether the entire function is Disabled.
For the circuit-breaker maintenance function, several options are available under address 172 52 B.WEAR
MONIT. Irrespective of this, the basic functionality of the summation current formation (ΣI procedure) is always
active. It requires no further configurations and adds up the tripping currents of the trips initiated by the protec-
tion functions.
When selecting the ΣIx procedure, the sum of all tripping current powers is formed and issued as a reference
value. The 2P procedure continuously calculates the remaining lifespan of the circuit breaker.
With the I2t procedure, the square fault current integrals are formed via arc time and are issued as a reference
value.
For more detailed information about the circuit breaker maintenance procedures, see Section 2.17.2.
When using trip circuit supervision, address 182 74 Trip Ct Supv allows you to select whether this function
should work with two (2 Binary Inputs) or only one binary input (1 Binary Input) or if the function is
Disabled.
If you want to detect an ambient temperature or a coolant temperature and e.g. send the information to the
overload protection, specify in address 190 RTD-BOX INPUT the port to which the RTD-box is connected. For
7SJ61 Port C (service port) is used for this purpose. The number and transmission type of the temperature
detectors (RTD = Resistance Temperature Detector) can be specified in address191 RTD CONNECTION: 6
RTD simplex or 6 RTD HDX (with one RTD-box) or 12 RTD HDX (with two RTD-boxes). Implementation
examples are given in the Appendix (under "Connection examples"). The settings in address 191 have to
comply with those of the RTD-box (see Subsection 2.14.2, "RTD-box").
The flexible protection functions can be configured via parameter FLEXIBLE FUNC.. Up to 20 functions can
be created. This is done by setting checkmarks at the functions. If the checkmark of a function is removed, all
settings and configurations made previously will be lost. After re-selecting the function, all settings and config-
urations are in default setting. Setting of the flexible function is done in DIGSI under “Parameters“, “Additional
Functions“ and “Settings“. The configuration is done, as usual, under “Parameters“ and “Configuration“.
2.1.1.3 Settings
The device requires some general information. This may be, for example, the type of annunciation to be issued
in the event of a power system fault occurs.
2.1.2.1 Description
The indication of messages masked to local LEDs and the provision of spontaneous messages can be made
dependent on whether the device has issued a trip signal. This information is then not output if during a system
disturbance one or more protection functions have picked up but no tripping by the 7SJ61 resulted because the
fault was cleared by a different device (e.g. on another line). These messages are then limited to faults in the
line to be protected. These messages are then limited to faults in the line to be protected.
The following figure illustrates the creation of the reset command for stored messages. When the relay drops
off, stationary conditions (fault display Target on PU / Target on TRIP; Trip / No Trip) decide whether the new
fault will be stored or reset.
Figure 2-1 Creation of the reset command for the latched LED and LCD messages
Fault Messages
A new pickup of a protection function generally turns off any previously set light displays so that only the latest
fault is displayed at any one time. It can be selected whether the stored LED displays and the spontaneous
messages on the display appear after the new pickup or only after a new trip signal is issued. In order to select
the desired mode of display, select the Device submenu in the SETTINGS menu. Under address 610
FltDisp.LED/LCD the two options Target on PU and Target on TRIP ("No trip – no flag") can be se-
lected.
In devices with 4-line displays and depending on the device version, a number of predefined image pages are
available. The start page of the default display appearing after startup of the device can be selected in the
device data via parameter 640 Start image DD. The available image pages are listed in Annex A.5.
2.1.2.3 Settings
2.1.3.1 Description
The device requires certain basic data regarding the protected equipment, so that the device can adapt to its
desired application. These may be, for instance, nominal power system and transformer data, measured quan-
tity polarities and their physical connections, breaker properties (where applicable) etc. There are also certain
parameters that are common to all functions, i.e. not associated with a specific protection, control or monitoring
function. The following section discusses these data.
General
This data can be entered directly at the device: Select the MAIN MENU by pressing the MENU key. The user
should use the ▼ key to select SETTINGS, and then use the X key to navigate to the SETTINGS display. To
obtain the Power System Data display, select the P.System Data 1 in SETTINGS display.
In DIGSI double-click on Settings to display the relevant selection. A dialog box will open under the option
P.System Data 1 with the tabs , , and Prot.Op. quant. where you can configure the individual parameters.
The following descriptions are therefore structured accordingly.
The rated system frequency is set at address 214 Rated Frequency. The factory setting of the model
number only has to be changed if the device is used for a purpose other than the one planned when ordering
the device.
Address 209PHASE SEQ. is used to change the default phase sequence (A B C for clockwise rotation), if your
power system permanently has an anti-clockwise phase sequence (A C B). A temporary reversal of rotation
is also possible using binary inputs (see Section 2.15.2).
Address 276 TEMP. UNIT allows displaying the temperature values either in degrees Celsius or in degrees
Fahrenheit.
At address 201 CT Starpoint, the polarity of the wye-connected current transformers is specified (the fol-
lowing figure applies accordingly to two current transformers). This setting determines the measuring direction
of the device (forward = line direction). Changing this parameter also results in a polarity reversal of the ground
current inputs IN or INS.
Here, the device is informed whether the ground current of the current transformer starpoint is connected to the
fourth current input (I4). This corresponds with the Holmgreen-connection, (see connection example in Appen-
dix A.3, Figure A-9). In this case, parameter 280 Holmgr. for Σi is set to YES. In all other cases, even if
the ground current of the own line is measured via a separate ground current transformer, the setting NO has
to be made. This setting exclusively affects the function „Current Sum Monitoring“ (see Section 2.8.1).
Via parameter 251 CT Connect. a special connection of the current transformers can be determined.
The standard connection is A, B, C, (Gnd). It may only be changed if the device is set to measure one or
more ground currents via two current inputs. The standard connection applies to all other cases.
The phase currents IA and IC must be connected to the first current input (terminals Q1, Q2) and to the third
(terminals Q5, Q6). At the fourth input (terminals Q7, Q8) the ground current IN or INS is connected as usual, in
this case the ground current of the line. A second ground current, in this case the transformer starpoint current,
is connected to the second current input IN2 (terminals Q3, Q4).
The settings A,G2,C,G; G->B or A,G2,C,G; G2->B must be used here. Both define the connection of a
ground current IN2 at the second current input (terminals Q3, Q4). The settings only differ in the calculation of
IB. In case of A,G2,C,G; G->B, the phase current IB is determined by phase currents IA and IC as well as the
measured ground current IN or IN sens. at the fourth current input. In case of A,G2,C,G; G2->B, the phase
current IB is determined by phase currents IA and IC as well as the measured ground current IN2 at the second
current input. The setting must be set according to system requirements.
The assignment of the protection functions to the ground current inputs in special connections is set out in the
following table.
The settings for address 251 are only possible with DIGSI under Additional Settings.
Note
The settings under address 251 CT Connect. affect the time overcurrent protection with regard to the eval-
uation of phase currents only if address 250 50/51 2-ph prot has been set to OFF.
Parameter 235 ATEX100 enables meeting the requirements for protecting explosion-protected motors for
thermal replicas. Set this parameter to YES to save all thermal replicas of the 7SJ61 devices in the event of a
power supply failure. After the supply voltage is restored, the thermal replicas will resume operation using the
stored values. Set the parameter to NO, to reset the calculated overtemperature values of all thermal replicas
to zero if the power supply fails.
At addresses 204 CT PRIMARY and 205 CT SECONDARY information is entered regarding the primary and
secondary ampere ratings of the current transformers. It is important to ensure that the rated secondary current
of the current transformer matches the rated current of the device, otherwise the device will calculate incorrect
primary data. At addresses 217 Ignd-CT PRIM and 218 Ignd-CT SEC, information is entered regarding the
primary and secondary ampere rating of the current transformer. In case of a normal connection (starpoint
current connected to IG transformer), 217 Ignd-CT PRIM and 204 CT PRIMARY must be set to the same
value.
If the device features a sensitive ground current input, parameter 218 Ignd-CT SEC is set to 1 A by default.
In this case, the setting cannot be changed.
If address 251 has been set so that ground currents are measured by two inputs (setting options A,G2,C,G;
G->B or A,G2,C,G; G2->B), you have to set the primary rated current of the second ground transformer con-
nected to IN2 at address 238. secondary ampere rating must conform with the phase current transformer.
To calculated the phase current IB correctly, the primary rated current of the ground current transformer, which
is used to calculate IB (address 217 or address 238), must be smaller than the primary rated current of the
phase current transformer (address 204).
In address 210 the minimum trip command duration TMin TRIP CMD is set. This setting applies to all protec-
tion functions that can initiate tripping.
In address 211 the maximum close command duration TMax CLOSE CMD is set. It applies to the integrated
reclosing function. It must be set long enough to ensure that the circuit breaker has securely closed. An exces-
sive duration causes no problem since the closing command is interrupted in the event another trip is initiated
by a protection function.
Address 212 BkrClosed I MIN corresponds to the threshold value of the integrated current flow monitoring
system. This parameter is used by several protection functions (e.g. overload protection and auto-reclosure for
motors). If the set threshold current is exceeded, the circuit breaker is considered closed and the power system
is considered to be in operation.
The threshold value setting applies to all three phases, and must take into consideration all used protection
functions.
The pickup threshold for the circuit-breaker failure protection is set separately (see 2.12.2).
When using the device as motor protection and using the overload protection, load jam protection and restart
inhibit, the protective relay can distinguish between a running motor and a stopped motor, as well as take into
account the different motor cooldown behavior. For this application, the set value must be lower than the
minimum no-load current of the motor.
Parameters 260 to 267 are assigned to CB maintenance. The parameters and the different procedures are
explained in the setting notes of this function (see Section 2.17.2).
The two-phase overcurrent protection functionality is used in grounded or compensated systems where inter-
action of three-phase devices with existing two-phase protection equipment is required. Via parameter 250
50/51 2-ph prot the time overcurrent protection can be configured to two or three-phase operation. If the
parameter is set to ON, the value 0 A instead of the measured value for IB is used permanently for the threshold
comparison so that no pickup is possible in phase B. All other functions, however, operate in three phases.
With address 613 50N/51N/67N w. you define whether ground fault protection or breaker failure protection
is to operate using measured values (Ignd (measured)) or the quantities calculated from the three phase
currents (3I0 (calcul.)). In the first case, the measured quantity at the fourth current input is evaluated. In
the latter case, the summation current is calculated from the three phase current inputs. If the device features
a sensitive ground current input (measuring range starts at 1 mA), the ground fault protection always uses the
calculated variable 3I0. In this case, parameter 613 50N/51N/67N w. is not available.
2.1.3.3 Settings
Addresses which have an appended "A" can only be changed with DIGSI, under "Display Additional Settings".
The table indicates region-specific default settings. Column C (configuration) indicates the corresponding sec-
ondary nominal current of the current transformer.
The Multi-Functional Protection with Control 7SJ61 is equipped with a fault record memory. The instantaneous
values of the measured quantities
are sampled at intervals of 1.25 ms (for 50 Hz) or 1.04 ms (for 60 Hz), and stored in a ring buffer (16 samples
per cycle). In the case of a fault, the data is recorded for a set period of time, but not for more than 5 seconds.
The total duration of recording amounts to up to 20 seconds. Up to 8 fault records can be recorded in this buffer.
The fault record memory is automatically updated with every new fault, so that there is no acknowledgment for
previously recorded faults required. The fault record buffer can also be started with protection pickup, via binary
input, via PC interface, or a serial interface.
2.1.4.1 Description
The data can be retrieved via the serial interfaces by means of a personal computer and evaluated with the
protection data processing program DIGSI and the graphic analysis software SIGRA 4. The latter graphically
represents the data recorded during the system fault and also calculates additional information from the mea-
sured values. Currents can be presented as desired as primary or secondary values. Signals are additionally
recorded as binary tracks (marks) e.g. "pickup", "trip".
If the device has a serial system interface, the fault recording data can be passed on to a central device via this
interface. The evaluation of data is done by appropriate programs in the central device. Currents are referred
to their maximum values, scaled to their rated values and prepared for graphic presentation. Signals are addi-
tionally recorded as binary tracks (marks) e.g. "pickup", "trip".
Transfer to a central device can be polled automatically, either after each fault detection by the protection, or
only after a trip.
Note
Note
If via parameter 251 CT Connect. one of the current transformer connection types A,G2,C,G; G->B or
A,G2,C,G; G2->B has been selected, the measured ground current IN2 measured by the second current
transformer is indicated under track „iN“. The ground current detected by the fourth current transformer is indi-
cated under track „iNs“ angezeigt.
Configuration
Fault recording (waveform capture) will only take place if address 104 OSC. FAULT REC. is set to Enabled.
Other settings pertaining to fault recording (waveform capture) are found in the Osc. Fault Rec. OSC.
FAULT REC. submenu of the SETTINGS menu. Waveform capture makes a distinction between the trigger
instant for an oscillographic record and the criterion to save the record (address 401 WAVEFORMTRIGGER).
Normally, the trigger is the pickup of a protection element, i.e. the time 0 is defined as the instant the first pro-
tection function picks up. The criterion for saving may be both the device pickup (Save w. Pickup) or the
device trip (Save w. TRIP). A trip command issued by the device can also be used as trigger instant (Start
w. TRIP), in this case it is also the saving criterion.
A fault event starts with the pickup by any protection function and ends when the last pickup of a protection
function has dropped out. Usually this is also the extent of a fault recording (address 402 WAVEFORM DATA =
Fault event). If automatic reclosing is performed, the entire system fault — with several reclosing attempts
if necessary — can be recorded until the fault has been cleared for good (address 402 WAVEFORM DATA =
Pow.Sys.Flt.). This facilitates the representation of the entire system fault history, but also consumes
storage capacity during the automatic reclosing dead time(s).
The actual storage time begins at the pre-fault time PRE. TRIG. TIME (address 404) ahead of the reference
instant, and ends at the post-fault time POST REC. TIME (address 405) after the storage criterion has reset.
The maximum storage time for each fault recording (MAX. LENGTH) is entered in address 403. Recording per
fault must not exceed 5 seconds. A total of 8 records can be saved with a total time of 20 seconds at the most.
An oscillographic record can be triggered by a status change of a binary input, or from a PC via the operator
interface. Storage is then triggered dynamically. The length of the fault recording is set in address 406 BinIn
CAPT.TIME (but not longer than MAX. LENGTH, address 403). Pre-fault and post-fault times will add to this.
If the binary input time is set to ∞, the length of the record equals the time that the binary input is activated
(static), but not longer than the MAX. LENGTH (address 403).
2.1.4.3 Settings
Up to four different setting groups can be created for establishing the device's function settings.
Applications
• Setting groups enables the user to save the corresponding settings for each application so that they can be
quickly called up when required. All setting groups are stored in the device. Only one setting group may be
active at a given time.
2.1.5.1 Description
During operation the user can switch back and forth setting groups locally, via the operator panel, binary inputs
(if so configured), the service interface using a personal computer, or via the system interface. For reasons of
safety it is not possible to change between setting groups during a power system fault.
A setting group includes the setting values for all functions that have been selected as Enabled during con-
figuration (see Section 2.1.1.2). In 7SJ61 relays, four independent setting groups (A to D) are available. While
setting values may vary, the selected functions of each setting group remain the same.
General
If setting group change option is not required, Group A is the default selection. Then, the rest of this section is
not applicable.
If the changeover option is desired, group changeover must be set to Grp Chge OPTION = Enabled (address
103) when the function extent is configured. For the setting of the function parameters, each of the required
setting groups A to D (a maximum of 4) must be configured in sequence. The SIPROTEC 4 System Description
gives further information on how to copy setting groups or reset them to their status at delivery and also how
to change from one setting group to another.
Subsection 3.1 of this manual tells you how to change between several setting groups externally via binary
inputs.
2.1.5.3 Settings
2.1.6.1 Description
The general protection data (P.System Data 2) includes settings associated with all functions rather than a
specific protection or monitoring function. In contrast to the P.System Data 1 as discussed before, they can
be changed over with the setting groups.
Applications
If the primary reference current of the protected object is set, the device is able to calculate and output the per-
centage operational measured values.
For protection of motors the motor starting detection represents an important feature. Exceeding a configured
current value serves as a criterion.
At address 1102 FullScaleCurr., the primary reference current (phase) of the protected equipment is
entered (e.g. motors). If this reference variable matches the primary value of the current transformer, it is equiv-
alent to the setting at Address 204 (Section 2.1.3.2). They are generally used to show values as a percentage
of full scale.
When the configured current value at Address 1107 I MOTOR START is exceeded, this will be interpreted as
motor starting. This parameter is used by the start-up time monitoring and overload protection functions.
2.1.6.3 Settings
The table indicates region-specific default settings. Column C (configuration) indicates the corresponding sec-
ondary nominal current of the current transformer.
2.1.7 EN100-Module
The EN100-Module enables integration of the 7SJ61 in 100-Mbit communication networks in control and au-
tomation systems with the protocols according to IEC 61850 standard. This standard permits uniform commu-
nication of the devices without gateways and protocol converters. Even when installed in heterogeneous envi-
ronments, SIPROTEC 4 relays therefore provide for open and interoperable operation. Parallel to the process
control integration of the device, this interface can also be used for communication with DIGSI and for inter-
relay communication via GOOSE.
Interface Selection
No special settings are required for operating the Ethernet system interface module (IEC 1850, EN100-
Module). If the ordered version of the device is equipped with such a module, it is automatically allocated to
the interface available for it, namely Port B.
Overcurrent protection is the main protection function of the 7SJ61 relay. Each phase current and the ground
current is provided with four elements. All elements are independent from each other and can be combined as
desired.
If it is desired in grounded or compensated systems that three-phase devices should work together with two-
phase protection equipment, the overcurrent protection can be configured in such a way that it allows twophase
operation besides three-phase mode (see Section 2.1.3.2).
The high-set elements 50-3 and 50-2 as well as the overcurrent element 50-1 always operate with definite trip-
ping time, the fourth element 51 always with inverse tripping time.
Applications
• The non-directional overcurrent protection is suited for networks that are radial and supplied from a single
source or open looped networks, for backup protection of differential protective schemes of all types of lines,
transformers, generators, motors, and busbars.
2.2.1 General
Depending on parameter 613 50N/51N/67N w. the overcurrent protection for the ground current can either
operate with measured values IN or with the quantities 3I0 calculated from the three phase currents. Devices
featuring a sensitive ground current input, however, generally use the calculated quantity 3I0.
All overcurrent elements enabled in the device may be blocked via the automatic reclosing function (depending
on the cycle) or via an external signal to the binary inputs of the device. Removal of blocking during pickup will
restart time delays. The Manual Close signal is an exception. If a circuit breaker is manually closed onto a fault,
it can be re-opened immediately. For overcurrent or high-set elements the delay may be bypassed via a Manual
Close pulse, thus resulting in high speed tripping. This pulse is extended up to at least 300 ms.
The automatic reclosure function 79 may also initiate immediate tripping for the overcurrent and high-set ele-
ments depending on the cycle.
Pickup of the definite-time elements can be stabilized by setting the dropout times. This protection comes into
use in systems where intermittent faults occur. Combined with electromechanical relays, it allows different
dropout responses to be adjusted and a time grading of digital and electromechanical relays to be implement-
ed.
Pickup and delay settings may be quickly adapted to system requirements via dynamic setting changeover
(see Section 2.3).
Tripping by the 50-1 and 51 elements (in phases), 50N-1 and 51N elements (in ground path) may be blocked
for inrush conditions by utilizing the inrush restraint feature. 4
The following table gives an overview of the interconnection to other functions of 7SJ61.
For each element an individual pickup value 50-3 PICKUP, 50-2 PICKUP or 50N-3 PICKUP, 50N-2
PICKUP is set. For 50-3 PICKUP and 50N-3 PICKUP, apart from Fundamental and True RMS, the
Instantaneous values can also be measured. Each phase and ground current is compared separately per
element with the common pickup values 50-3 PICKUP, 50-2 PICKUP or 50N-3 PICKUP, 50N-2 PICKUP.
If the respective pickup value is exceeded, this is signaled. After the user-defined time delays 50-3 DELAY,
50-2 DELAY or 50N-3 DELAY, 50N-2 DELAY have elapsed, trip signals are issued which are available for
each element. The dropout value is roughly equal to 95% of the pickup value for currents > 0.3 INom. If the mea-
surement of the instantaneous values has been configured for the 50-3 or 50N-3 element, the dropout ratio
amounts to 90 %.
Pickup can be stabilized by setting dropout times 1215 50 T DROP-OUT or 1315 50N T DROP-OUT. This
time is started and maintains the pickup condition if the current falls below the threshold. Therefore, the function
does not drop out at high speed. The trip delay time 50-3 DELAY, 50-2 DELAY or 50N-3 DELAY, 50N-2
DELAY continues running in the meantime. After the dropout delay time has elapsed, the pickup is reported
OFF and the trip delay time is reset unless the threshold 50-3 PICKUP, 50-2 PICKUP or 50N-3 PICKUP,
50N-2 PICKUP has been exceeded again. If the threshold is exceeded again during the dropout delay time,
the time is cancelled. The trip delay time 50-3 DELAY, 50-2 DELAY or 50N-3 DELAY, 50N-2 DELAY con-
tinues running in the meantime. If the threshold value is exceeded after its expiry, the trip command is issued
immediately. If the threshold value is not exceeded at this time, there is no reaction. If the threshold value is
exceeded again after expiry of the trip-command delay time, while the dropout delay time is still running, trip-
ping occurs immediately.
These elements can be blocked by the automatic reclosing feature (79 AR).
The following figures give an example of logic diagrams for the high-set elements 50-2 PICKUP or 50N-2
PICKUP. They also apply analogously to the high-set elements 50-3 PICKUP and 50N-3 PICKUP.
If parameter MANUAL CLOSE is set to 50-2 instant. or 50-3 instant. and manual close detection is
used, a pickup causes instantaneous tripping, even if the element is blocked via binary input. The same applies
to 79AR 50-2 inst.
If parameter MANUAL CLOSE is set to 50N-2 instant. or 50N-3 instant. and manual close detection is
used, a pickup causes instantaneous tripping, even if the element is blocked via binary input. The same applies
to AR 50N-2 inst.
For each element an individual pickup value 50-1 PICKUP or 50N-1 PICKUP is set. Apart from
Fundamental, the True RMS can also be measured. Each phase and ground current is compared separately
with the setting value 50-1 or 50N-1 for each element. If the respective value is exceeded, this is signaled. If
the inrush restraint feature (see below) is applied, either the normal pickup signals or the corresponding inrush
signals are output as long as inrush current is detected. After user-configured time delays 50-1 DELAY or
50N-1 DELAY have elapsed, a trip signal is issued if no inrush current is detected or inrush restraint is dis-
abled. If the inrush restraint feature is enabled and an inrush condition exists, no tripping takes place but a
message is recorded and displayed indicating when the overcurrent element time delay elapses. Trip signals
and signals on the expiration of time delay are available separately for each element. The dropout value is ap-
proxmiately 95% of the pickup value for currents > 0.3 INom.
Pickup can be stabilized by setting dropout times 1215 50 T DROP-OUT or 1315 50N T DROP-OUT. This
time is started and maintains the pickup condition if the current falls below the threshold. Therefore, the function
does not drop out at high speed. The trip-command delay time 50-1 DELAY or 50N-1 DELAY continues
running in the meantime. After the dropout delay time has elapsed, the pickup is reported OFF and the trip
delay time is reset unless the threshold 50-1 or 50N-1 has been exceeded again. If the threshold is exceeded
again during the dropout delay time, the time is cancelled. However, the trip-command delay time 50-1 DELAY
or 50N-1 DELAY continues running. If the threshold value is exceeded after its expiry, the trip command is
issued immediately. If the threshold value is not exceeded at this time, there is no reaction. If the threshold
value is exceeded again after expiry of the trip-command delay time, while the dropout delay time is still run-
ning, tripping occurs immediately.
Pickup stabilization of the overcurrent elements 50-1 or 50N-1 by means of settable dropout time is deactivated
if an inrush pickup is present since an inrush does not represent an intermittent fault.
These elements can be blocked by the automatic reclosing feature (79 AR).
The following figures show the logic diagrams for the current elements 50-1 and 50N-1.
Figure 2-6 Logic diagram for the 50-1 current element for phases
The dropout delay only operates if no inrush was detected. An incoming inrush will reset a running dropout
delay time.
If parameter MANUAL CLOSE is set to 50 -1 instant. and manual close detection is used, a pickup causes
instantaneous tripping, even if blocking of the element via binary input is present. The same applies to 79AR
50-1 inst.
If parameter MANUAL CLOSE is set to 50N-1 instant. and manual close detection applies, the trip is initiated
as soon as the pickup conditions arrive, even if the element is blocked via a binary input. The same applies to
79 AR 50N-1 inst.
The pickup values of each 50-1, 50-2 element for the phase currents and 50N-1, 50N-2 element for the ground
current and the valid delay times for each element can be set individually.
The dropout delay only functions if no inrush was detected. An incoming inrush will reset a running dropout time
delay.
Inverse time elements are dependent on the variant ordered. They operate with an inverse time characteristic
either according to the IEC- or the ANSI-standard or with a user-defined characteristic. The characteristics and
associated formulas are given in the Technical Data.
During configuration of the inverse time curves, the definite time relay elements 50-3, 50-2 and 50-1 are also
enabled (see Section "Definite Time High-set Elements 50-3, 50-2, 50N-3, 50N-2“ and "Definite Time Overcur-
rent Elements 50-1, 50N-1“).
Pickup Behavior
For each element an individual pickup value 51 PICKUP or 51N PICKUP is set. Apart from Fundamental,
the True RMS can also be measured. Each phase and ground current is separately compared with the setting
value 51 or 51N per element. If a current exceeds 1.1 times the setting value, the corresponding element picks
up and is signaled individually. If the inrush restraint feature is used, either the normal pickup signals or the
corresponding inrush signals are issued as long as inrush current is detected. If the 51 element picks up, the
tripping time is calculated from the actual fault current flowing, using an integrating method of measurement.
The calculated tripping time depends on the selected tripping curve. Once this time has elapsed, a trip signal
is issued provided that no inrush current is detected or inrush restraint is disabled. If the inrush restraint feature
is enabled and an inrush condition exists, no tripping takes place but a message is recorded and displayed
indicating when the overcurrent element time delay elapses.
These elements can be blocked by the automatic reclosing feature (79 AR).
For ground current element 51N the characteristic may be selected independently of the characteristic used for
phase currents.
Pickup values of elements 51 (phase currents) and 51N (ground current) and the relevant time multiplicators
may be set individually.
The following two figures show the logic diagrams for the inverse time overcurrent protection.
Figure 2-10 Logic diagram of the inverse-time overcurrent protection element for phases
If parameter MANUAL CLOSE is set to 51 instant. and manual close detection applies, the trip is initiated
as soon as the pickup conditions arrive, even if the element is blocked via a binary input. The same applies to
79AR 51 inst.
Figure 2-11 Logic diagram of the inverse-time overcurrent protection element for ground
If parameter MANUAL CLOSE is set to 51N instant. and manual close detection applies, the trip is initiated
as soon as the pickup conditions arrive, even if the element is blocked via binary input. The same applies to
79AR 51N inst.
Dropout Behavior
When using an ANSI or a IEC curve, it can be selected whether the dropout of an element is to occur instan-
taneously after the threshold has been undershot or whether dropout is to be performed by means of disk em-
ulation. "Instantaneous" means that pickup drops off when 95 % of the pickup value is undershot. For a new
pickup the time delay starts at zero.
The disk emulation evokes a dropout process (timer counter is decrementing) which begins after de-energiza-
tion. This process corresponds to the reset of a Ferraris-disk (explaining its denomination "disk emulation"). In
case several faults occur in succession, the "history" is taken into consideration due to the inertia of the Fer-
raris-disk and the time response is adapted. Reset begins as soon as 90 % of the setting value is undershot,
in accordance with the dropout curve of the selected characteristic. In the range between the dropout value (95
% of the pickup value) and 90 % of the setting value, the incrementing and the decrementing processes are in
idle state.
Disk emulation offers advantages when the overcurrent relay elements must be coordinated with conventional
electromechanical overcurrent relays located towards the source.
User-defined Characteristics
When user-defined characteristic are used, the tripping curve may be defined point by point. Up to 20 value
pairs (current, time) may be entered. The device then approximates the characteristic, using linear interpola-
tion.
The dropout curve may be user-defined as well. See dropout behavior for ANSI and IEC curves in the function
description. If no user-defined dropout curve is required, the element drops out as soon as the respective
current falls below approx. 95% of the set pickup value. When a new pickup is evoked, the timer starts at zero
again.
It may be necessary to dynamically increase the pickup values if, during starting, certain elements of the system
show an increased power consumption after a long period of zero voltage (e.g. air-conditioning systems,
heating installations, motors). Thus, a general raise of pickup thresholds can be avoided taking such starting
conditions into consideration.
This dynamic pickup value changeover is common to all overcurrent elements and is described in Section 2.3.
The alternative pickup values can be set individually for each element of the time overcurrent protection.
If the multi-functional protective relay 7SJ61 is installed, for instance, to protect a power transformer, large mag-
netizing inrush currents will flow when the transformer is energized. These inrush currents may be several
times the nominal transformer current, and, depending on the transformer size and design, may last from
several milliseconds to several seconds.
Although pickup of the relay elements is based only on the fundamental harmonic component of the measured
currents, false device pickup due to inrush is still a potential problem since, depending on the transformer size
and design, the inrush current also comprises a large component of the fundamental.
7SJ61 features an integrated inrush restraint function. It prevents the „normal“ pickup of 50-1 or 51 relay ele-
ments (not 50-2 and 50-3) in the phases and the ground path of the overcurrent relay elements. The same is
true for the alternative pickup thresholds of the dynamic cold load pickup function. After detection of inrush cur-
rents above a pickup value, special inrush signals are generated. These signals also initiate fault annunciations
and start the associated trip delay time. If inrush conditions are still present after the tripping time delay has
elapsed, a corresponding message („....Timeout “) is output, but the overcurrent tripping is blocked (see also
logic diagrams of time overcurrent elements, Figures 2-6 to 2-11).
Inrush current contains a relatively large second harmonic component (twice the nominal frequency) which is
nearly absent during a fault current. The inrush restraint is based on the evaluation of the 2nd harmonic present
in the inrush current. For frequency analysis, numerical filters are used to conduct a Fourier analysis of all three
phase currents and the ground current.
Inrush current is recognized, if the following conditions are fulfilled at the same time:
• The harmonic content is larger than the setting value 2202 2nd HARMONIC (minimum 0.025 * INom,sec);
• the currents do not exceed an upper limit value 2205 I Max;
• the current of the affected element has exceeded the pickup value.
In this case, an inrush in the affected phase is recognized (annunciations 1840 to 1842 and 7558 „InRush
Gnd Det“, see figure 2-12) and its blocking being carried out.
Since quantitative analysis of the harmonic components cannot be completed until a full line period has been
measured, pickup will generally be blocked by then. Therefore, assuming the inrush restraint feature is en-
abled, a pickup message will be delayed by a full line period if no closing process is present. On the other hand,
trip delay times of the time overcurrent protection feature are started immediately even with the inrush restraint
being enabled. Time delays continue running with inrush currents present. If inrush blocking drops out after the
time delay has elapsed, tripping will occur immediately. Therefore, utilization of the inrush restraint feature will
not result in any additional tripping delays. If a relay element drops out during inrush blocking, the associated
time delay will reset.
Cross Blocking
Since inrush restraint operates individually for each phase, protection is ideal where a power transformer is en-
ergized into a single-phase fault and inrush currents are detected on a different healthy phase. However, the
protection feature can be configured to allow that not only this phase element but also the remaining elements
(including ground) are blocked (the so-called CROSS BLOCK function, address 2203) if the permissible har-
monic component of the current is exceeded for only one phase.
Please take into consideration that inrush currents flowing in the ground path will not cross-block tripping by
the phase elements.
Cross blocking is reset if there is no more inrush in any phase. Furthermore, the cross blocking function may
also be limited to a particular time interval (address 2204 CROSS BLK TIMER). After expiry of this time interval,
the cross blocking function will be disabled, even if inrush current is still present.
The inrush restraint has an upper limit: Above this (via adjustable parameter 2205 I Max) current blocking is
suppressed since a high-current fault is assumed in this case.
The following figure shows the inrush restraint influence on the time overcurrent elements including cross-
blocking.
The pickup annunciations of the individual phases (or ground) and the individual elements are combined with
each other in such a way that the phase information and the element that has picked up are issued.
In the trip signals, the element which initiated the tripping is also indicated.
The two-phase overcurrent protection functionality is used in grounded or compensated systems where inter-
action with existing two-phase protection equipment is required. As an isolated or resonant-grounded system
remains operational with a single-phase ground fault, this protection serves the purpose of detecting double
ground faults with high ground fault currents. Only then must the respective feeder be switched off. A two-phase
measurement is sufficient for this purpose. In order to ensure selectivity of the protection in this section of the
system, only phases A and C are monitored.
If 250 50/51 2-ph prot (settable in P.System Data 1) is set to ON, IB is not used for threshold compar-
ison. If the fault is a simple ground fault in B, the element will not pick up. Only after pickup on A or C a double
ground fault is assumed, causing the element to pick up and trip after the delay time has elapsed.
Note
With inrush recognition activated and inrush only on B, no cross blocking will take place in the other phases.
On the other hand, if inrush with cross blocking is activated on A or C, B will also be blocked.
Application Example
Each of the overcurrent elements can be blocked via binary inputs of the relay. A setting parameter determines
whether the binary input operates in the normally open (i.e. actuated when energized) or the normally closed
(i.e. actuated when de-energized) mode. This allows, for example, the busbar protection to take immediate
effect in star systems or looped systems which are open on one side, utilizing "reverse interlocking". This prin-
ciple is often used, for example, in distribution systems, auxiliary systems of power plants, and the like, where
a station supply transformer supplied from the transmission grid serves internal loads of the generation station
via a medium voltage bus with multiple feeders (Figure 2-13).
The reverse interlocking principle is based on the following: Time overcurrent protection of the busbar feeder
trips with a short time delay T 50-2 independent of the grading times of the feeders, unless the pickup of the
next load-side overcurrent protection element blocks the busbar protection (Figure 2-13). Always the protection
element nearest to the fault will trip with the short time delay since this element cannot be blocked by a protec-
tion element located behind the fault. Time elements T 50-1 or T51 are still effective as backup element. Pickup
signals output by the load-side protective relay are used as input message„>BLOCK 50-2“ via a binary input
at the feeder-side protective relay.
General
When selecting the time overcurrent protection in DIGSI a dialog box appears with several tabs, such as , , , ,
and in which the individual parameters can be set. Depending on the functional scope specified during config-
uration of the protective functions in addresses 112 Charac. Phase and 113 Charac. Ground the number
of tabs can vary. If address FCT 50/51 was set to Definite Time, or Charac. Ground was set to
Definite Time, then only the settings for the definite time elements are available. The selection of TOC IEC
or TOC ANSI makes additional inverse characteristics available. The superimposed high-set elements 50-2,
50-3 and 50N-2, 50N-3 are available in all these cases.
Parameter 250 50/51 2-ph prot can also be set to activate two-phase overcurrent protection.
Under address 1201 FCT 50/51, overcurrent protection for phases and under address 1301 FCT 50N/51N,
the ground overcurrent protection can be switched ON or OFF.
Pickup values, time delays, and characteristics for ground protection are set separately from the pickup values,
time delays and characteristic curves associated with phase protection. Because of this, relay coordination for
ground faults is independent of relay coordination for phase faults, and more sensitive settings can often be
applied to directional ground protection.
Depending on the setting of parameter 251 CT Connect., the device can also be used in specific system
constellations with regard to current connections. Further information can be found under Section 2.1.3.2 ,
“Current Connections“.
Measurement Methods
The comparison values to be used for the respective element can be set in the setting sheets for the elements.
• Measurement of the fundamental harmonic (standard method):
This measurement method processes the sampled values of the current and filters in numerical order the
fundamental harmonic so that the higher harmonics or transient peak currents remain largely unconsidered.
• Measurement of the true r.m.s. value
The current amplitude is derived from the sampled values in accordance with the definition equation of the
true r.m.s. value. This measurement method should be selected when higher harmonics are to be consid-
ered by the function (e.g. in capacitor banks).
• Measurement with instantaneous values
This method compares the instantaneous values to the set threshold. It does not perform a mean-value cal-
culation and is thus sensitive with regard to disturbances. This measurement method should only be select-
ed if an especially short pickup time of the element is required. With this measurement method, the operating
time of the element is reduced compared to the measurement of true r.m.s. values or fundamental harmonics
(see “Technical Data“).
The type of the comparison values can be set under the following addresses:
The pickup currents of the high-set elements 50-2 PICKUP or 50-3 PICKUP can be set either at address
1202 or 1217. The corresponding delay time 50-2 DELAY or 50-3 DELAY can be configured under address
1203 or 1218. It is usually used for purposes of current grading intended for large impedances that are prev-
alent in transformers or generators. It is specified in such manner that it picks up faults up to this impedance.
Example of the high-set current element 50-2 PICKUP: Transformer used for busbar supply with the following
data:
Based on the data above, the following fault currents are calculated:
the following setting applies to the protection device: The 50-2 high-set current element must be set higher than
the maximum fault current which is detected during a low side fault on the high side. To reduce fault probability
as much as possible even when fault power varies, the following setting is selected in primary values: 50-2 /INom
= 10, i.e. 50-2 = 1000 A. The same applies analogously when using the high-set element 50-3.
Increased inrush currents, if their fundamental component exceeds the setting value, are rendered harmless
by delay times (address 1203 50-2 DELAY or 1218 50-3 DELAY).
For motor protection, the 50-2 relay element must be set smaller than the smallest phase-to-phase fault current
and larger than the largest motor starting current. Since the maximum occurring startup current is usually below
1.6 x the rated startup current (even with unfavourable conditions), the following setting is adequate for the
fault current element 50-2:
The potential increase in starting current caused by overvoltage conditions is already accounted for by the 1.6
factor. The 50-2 element can be tripped without delay (50-2 DELAY = 0.00 s), since saturation of the shunt
reactance occurs in a motor, unlike in a transformer, for example.
The principle of the "reverse interlocking" utilizes the multi-element function of the time overcurrent protection:
Element 50-2 PICKUP is applied as a fast busbar protection with a shorter safety delay time 50-2 DELAY
(e.g. 100 ms). For faults at the outgoing feeders, element 50-2 is blocked. Both element 50-1 or 51 serve as
backup protection. The pickup values of both elements (50-1 PICKUP or 51 PICKUP and 50-2 PICKUP) are
set equal. Delay time 50-1 DELAY or 51 TIME DIAL is set in such manner that it overgrades the delay for
the outgoing feeders.
The selected time is an additional delay time and does not include the operating time (measuring time, dropout
time). The delay can be also be set to ∞. In this case, the element will not trip after pickup. However, pickup,
will be signaled. If the 50-2 element or the 50-3 element is not required at all, the pickup threshold 50-2 or 50-
3 is set to ∞. This setting prevents tripping and the generation of a pickup message.
The pickup currents of the high-set elements 50N-2 PICKUP or 50N-3 PICKUP are set under address 1302
or 1317. The corresponding delay time 50N-2 DELAY or 50N-3 DELAY can be configured under address
1303 or 1318. The same considerations apply to these settings as they did for phase currents discussed ear-
lier.
The selected time is an additional delay time and does not include the operating time (measuring time, dropout
time). The delay can be also be set to ∞. In this case, the element will not trip after pickup. However, pickup,
will be signaled. If the 50N-2 element or 50N-3element is not required at all, the pickup threshold 50N-2 or 50N-
3 hould be set to ∞. This setting prevents tripping and the generation of a pickup message.
For setting the 50-1 element, it is the maximum anticipated load current that must be considered above all.
Pickup due to overload should never occur since in this mode the device operates as fault protection with cor-
respondingly short tripping times and not as overload protection. For this reason, a setting equal to 20% of the
expected peak load is recommended for line protection, and a setting equal to 40% is recommended for trans-
formers and motors.
The settable time delay (address 1205 50-1 DELAY) results from the grading coordination chart defined for
the system.
The selected time is an additional delay time and does not include the operating time (measuring time, dropout
time). The delay can be also be set to ∞. In this case, the element will not trip after pickup. However, pickup,
will be signaled. If the 50-1 element is not required at all, then the pickup threshold 50-1 should be set to ∞.
This setting prevents tripping and the generation of a pickup message.
For setting the 50N-1 ement, it is the minimum anticipated ground fault current that must be considered.
If the relay is used to protect transformers or motors with large inrush currents, the inrush restraint feature of
7SJ61 may be used for the 50N–1 relay element. It can be enabled or disabled for both the phase current and
the ground current in address 2201 INRUSH REST.. The characteristic values of the inrush restraint are listed
in Subsection "Inrush Restraint".
The settable delay time (address 1305 50N-1 DELAY) results from the grading coordination chart defined for
the system. For ground currents in a grounded system a separate coordination chart with shorter time delays
is possible.
The selected time is an additional delay time and does not include the operating time (measuring time, dropout
time). The delay can be also be set to ∞. In this case, the element will not trip after pickup. However, pickup,
will be signaled. If the 50N-1 element is not required at all, the pickup threshold 50N-1 PICKUP should be set
to ∞. This setting prevents tripping and the generation of a pickup message.
The configurable dropout times 1215 50 T DROP-OUT or 1315 50N T DROP-OUT can be set to implement
a uniform dropout behavior when using electromechanical relays. This is necessary for a time grading. The
dropout time of the electromechanical relay must be known to this end. Subtract the dropout time of the device
(see Technical Data) from this value and enter the result in the parameters.
Having set address 112 Charac. Phase = TOC IEC or TOC ANSI when configuring the protection functions
(Section 2.1.1.2), the parameters for the inverse characteristics will also be available.
If address 112 Charac. Phase was set to TOC IEC, you can select the desired IEC characteristic (Normal
Inverse, Very Inverse, Extremely Inv. or Long Inverse) at address 1211 51 IEC CURVE. If
address 112 Charac. Phase was set to TOC ANSI, you can select the desired ANSI characteristic (Very
Inverse, Inverse, Short Inverse, Long Inverse, Moderately Inv., Extremely Inv. or
Definite Inv.) at address 1212 51 ANSI CURVE.
If the inverse time trip characteristic is selected, it must be noted that a safety factor of about 1.1 has already
been included between the pickup value and the setting value. This means that a pickup will only occur if a
current of about 1.1 times the setting value is present. If Disk Emulation was selected at address 1210 51
Drop-out, reset will occur in accordance with the reset curve as described before.
The current value is set in address 1207 51 PICKUP. The setting is mainly determined by the maximum an-
ticipated operating current. Pickup due to overload should never occur since in this mode the device operates
as fault protection with correspondingly short tripping times and not as overload protection.
The corresponding time multiplier for an IEC characteristic is set at address 1208 51 TIME DIAL and in
address 1209 51 TIME DIAL for an ANSI characteristic. It must be coordinated with the grading coordination
chart of the system.
The time multiplier can also be set to ∞. In this case, the element will not trip after pickup. However, pickup, will
be signaled. If the 51 element is not required at all, address 112 Charac. Phase should be set to Definite
Time during protective function configuration (see Section 2.1.1.2).
Having set address 113 Charac. Ground = TOC IEC when configuring the protection functions (Section
2.1.1), the parameters for the inverse characteristics will also be available. Specify in address 1311 51N IEC
CURVE the desired IEC characteristic (Normal Inverse, Very Inverse, Extremely Inv. or Long
Inverse). If address 113 Charac. Ground was set to TOC ANSI, you can select the desired ANSI
characteristic (Very Inverse, Inverse, Short Inverse, Long Inverse, Moderately Inv.,
Extremely Inv. or Definite Inv.) at address 1312 51N ANSI CURVE.
If the inverse time trip characteristic is selected, it must be noted that a safety factor of about 1.1 has already
been included between the pickup value and the setting value. This means that a pickup will only occur if a
current of about 1.1 times the setting value is present. If Disk Emulation was selected at address 1310 51
Drop-out, reset will occur in accordance with the reset curve as described before.
The current value is set in address 1307 51N PICKUP. The setting is mainly determined by the minimum an-
ticipated ground fault current.
The corresponding time multiplier for an IEC characteristic is set at address 1308 51N TIME DIAL and in
address 1309 51N TIME DIAL for an ANSI characteristic. This has to be coordinated with the grading coor-
dination chart of the network. For ground currents with grounded network, you can often set up a separate
grading coordination chart with shorter delay times.
The time multiplier can also be set to ∞. In this case, the element will not trip after pickup. However, pickup, will
be signaled. If the 51N-TOC element is not required at all, address 113 Charac. Ground should be set to
Definite Time during configuration of the protection functions (see Section 2.1.1).
Having set address 112 Charac. Phase or 113 = Charac. Ground = User Defined PU or User def.
Reset when configuring the protective functions (Section 2.1.1.2), the user-defined curves will also be avail-
able. A maximum of 20 value pairs (current and time) may be entered at address 1230 51/51N or 1330
50N/51N in this case. This option allows point-by-point entry of any desired curve. When setting address 112
= User def. Reset or 113 = User def. Reset additional value pairs (current and reset time) may be
entered in address 1231 MofPU Res T/Tp or 1331 MofPU Res T/TEp to represent the dropout curve.
Since current values are rounded in a specific pattern before they are processed in the device (see Table 2-3),
we recommend to use exactly the same preferred current values you can find in this table.
The current and time value pairs are entered as multiples of addresses 1207 51 PICKUP and 1208 51 TIME
DIAL for the phase currents and 1307 and 1308 for the ground system. Therefore, it is recommended that
these addresses are initially set to 1.00 for simplicity. Once the curve is entered, the values at addresses 1207
or1307 or/and 1208 or 1308 can be modified later to allow moving the curve in a different direction.
The default setting of current values is ∞. They are, therefore, disabled and no pickup or tripping of these pro-
tection functions will occur.
Table 2-3 Preferential values of standardized currents for user-defined tripping curves
The value pairs are entered at address 1231 MofPU Res T/Tp or 1331 MofPU Res T/TEp to recreate the
reset curve. The following must be observed:
• The current values entered should be those from the following Table 2-4, along with the matching times. De-
viating values of MofPU are rounded. This, however, will not be indicated.
Currents larger than the largest current value entered will not lead to an extension of the dropout time. The
dropout curve (see Figure 2-14, left side) runs parallel to the current axis, up to the largest curve value point.
Currents which are smaller than the smallest current value entered will not lead to a reduction of the dropout
time. The dropout curve (see Figure 2-14, left side) runs parallel to the current axis, beginning with the small-
est curve value point.

When using DIGSI to make settings, a dialog box opens where you can enter up to 20 value pairs (measured
quantity and trip time) (see Figure 2-15).
In order to represent the characteristic graphically, the user should click on "characteristic". The previously
entered characteristic will appear as shown in Figure 2-15.
The characteristic curve shown in the graph can be modified later on. Placing the mouse cursor over a point
on the characteristic, the cursor changes to the shape of a hand. Press and hold the left mouse button and drag
the data item to the desired position. Releasing the mouse button will automatically update the value in the
value table.
The respective upper limits of the ranges of value are indicated by dotted lines in the right-hand and upper area
of the system of coordinates. If the position of a data point lies outside these limits, the associated value is set
to infinity.

Inrush Restraint
When applying the protection device to transformers where high inrush currents are to be expected, the 7SJ61
can make use of an inrush restraint function for the overcurrent elements 50-1, 51, 50N-1 and 51N as well as
the non-directional overcurrent elements.
Inrush restraint is only effective and accessible if address 122 InrushRestraint was set to Enabled. If this
function is not required, then Disabled is set. In address 2201, INRUSH REST. the function is switched ON
or OFF jointly for the overcurrent elements .50-1 PICKUP,51 PICKUP, 50N-1 PICKUP and 51N PICKUP
The inrush restraint is based on the evaluation of the 2nd harmonic present in the inrush current. Upon delivery
from the factory, a ratio I2f/If of 15 % is set. Under normal circumstances, this setting will not need to be
changed. The setting value is identical for all phases and ground. However, the component required for re-
straint may be adjusted to system conditions in address 2202 2nd HARMONIC. To provide more restraint in
exceptional cases, where energizing conditions are particularly unfavorable, a smaller value can be set in the
aforementioned address, e.g. 12 %. Irrespective of parameter 2202 2nd HARMONIC, rush blocking will only
occur if the absolute value of the 2nd harmonic is at least 0.025 * INom,sec.
The effective duration of the cross-blocking 2203 CROSS BLK TIMER can be set to a value between 0 s (har-
monic restraint active for each phase individually) and a maximum of 180 s (harmonic restraint of a phase
blocks also the other phases for the specified duration).
If the current exceeds the value set in address 2205 I Max, no further restraint will take place for the 2nd har-
monic.
When a circuit breaker is closed onto a faulted line, a high-speed trip by the circuit breaker is usually desired.
For overcurrent or high-set element the delay may be bypassed via a Manual Close pulse, thus resulting in
instantaneous tripping. This pulse is prolonged by at least 300 ms. To enable the device to react properly on
occurrence of a fault in the phase elements, address 1213 MANUAL CLOSE has to be set accordingly. Corre-
spondingly, address 1313 MANUAL CLOSE is considered for the ground path address. Thus, the user deter-
mines for both elements, the phase and the ground element, what pickup value is active with what delay when
the circuit breaker is closed manually.
If the manual close signal is not sent from 7SJ61 device, i.e. neither via the built-in operator interface nor via a
serial interface, but directly from a control acknowledgment switch, this signal must be passed to a 7SJ61
binary input, and configured accordingly („>Manual Close“), so that the element selected for MANUAL
CLOSE can become effective. The alternative Inactive means that all elements operate as per configuration
even with manual close and do not get special treatment.
If the manual close signal is sent via the internal control function of the device, an internal connection of infor-
mation has to be established via CFC (interlocking task level) using the CMD_Information block (see Figure 2-
16).
Figure 2-16 Example for the generation of a manual close signal using the internal control function
Note
For an interaction between the automatic reclosing function (79 AR) and the control function, an extended CFC
logic is necessary. See margin heading „Close command: Directly or via Control“ in the Setting Notes of the
automatic reclosing function (Section 2.11.6).
When reclosing occurs, it is desirable to have high-speed protection against faults with 50-2 or 50-3. If the fault
still exists after the first reclosing, the 50-1 or 51 elements will be initiated with graded tripping times, that is,
element 50-2 or 50-3 will be blocked. At address 1214 50-2 active or 1216 50-3 active it can be spec-
ified whether the 50-2 or the 50-3 element should be influenced by the status of an internal or external auto-
matic reclosing system. The setting with 79 active means that the 50-2 or 50-3 elements will only be re-
leased if automatic reclosing is not blocked. If this is not desired, choose the setting Always so that the 50-2
or 50-3 elements will always be active.
The integrated automatic reclosing function of 7SJ61 also provides the option to individually determine for each
overcurrent element whether tripping or blocking is to be carried out instantaneously, unaffected by the AR with
the set time delay (see Section 2.11).
When reclosing occurs, it is desirable to have high-speed protection against faults with 50N-2 or 50N-3. If the
fault still exists after the first reclosing, the 50N-1 or 51N elements or will be initiated with graded tripping times,
that is, element 50N-2 or 50N-3 will be blocked. At address 1314 50N-2 active or 1316 50N-3 active it
can be specified whether the 50N-2 or the 50N-3 element should be influenced by the status of an internal or
external automatic reclosing system. Address with 79 active determines that the 50N-2 or 50N-3 elements
will only operate if automatic reclosing is not blocked. If this is not desired, select the setting Always so that
the 50N-2 or 50N-3 elements will always operate, as configured.
The integrated automatic reclosing function of 7SJ61 also provides the option to individually determine for each
overcurrent element whether tripping or blocking is to be carried out instantaneously, unaffected by the AR with
the set time delay (see Section 2.11).
2.2.11 Settings
Addresses which have an appended "A" can only be changed with DIGSI, under "Display Additional Settings".
The table indicates region-specific default settings. Column C (configuration) indicates the corresponding sec-
ondary nominal current of the current transformer.
With the cold load pickup function, pickup and delay settings of time overcurrent protection can be changed
over dynamically.
Applications
• It may be necessary to dynamically increase the pickup values if, during starting and for a short time there-
after, certain elements of the system have an increased power consumption after a long period of zero
voltage (e.g. air-conditioning systems, heating installations, motors). Thus a raise of pickup thresholds can
be avoided by taking into consideration such starting conditions.
• As a further option the pickup thresholds may be modified by an automatic reclosure function in accordance
with its ready or not ready state.
Prerequisites
Note:
Dynamic cold load pickup is not be confused with the changeover option of the 4 setting groups (A to D). It is
an additional feature.
2.3.1 Description
Effect
There are two methods by which the device can determine if the protected equipment is de-energized:
• Via binary inputs, the device is informed of the position of the circuit breaker (address 1702 Start
Condition = Breaker Contact).
• As a criterion a set current threshold is undershot (address 1702 Start Condition = No Current).
If the device determines that the protected equipment is de-energized via one of the above methods, a time,
CB Open Time, is started and after its expiration the increased thresholds take effect.
In addition, switching between parameters can be triggered by two further events:
• by signal "79M Auto Reclosing ready" of the internal automatic reclosure function (address 1702 Start
Condition = 79 ready). Thus the protection thresholds and the tripping times can be changed if auto-
matic reclosure is ready for reclosing (see also Section 2.11).
• Irrespective of the setting of parameter 1702 Start Condition, the release of cold load pickup may
always be selected via the binary input „>ACTIVATE CLP“.
Figure 2-18 shows the logic diagram for dynamic cold load pickup function.
If it is detected via the auxiliary contact or the current criterion that the system is de-energized, i.e. the circuit
breaker is open, the CB Open Time is started. As soon as it has elapsed, the greater thresholds are enabled.
When the protected equipment is re-energized (the device receives this information via the binary inputs or
when threshold BkrClosed I MIN is exceeded), a second time delay referred to as the Active Time is
initiated. Once it elapses, the pickup values of the relay elements return to their normal settings. This time may
be reduced when current values fall below all normal pickup values for a set Stop Time after startup, i.e. after
the circuit breaker has been closed. The starting condition of the fast reset time is made up of an OR-combi-
nation of the configured dropout conditions of all non-directional overcurrent elements. When Stop Time is
set to ∞ or when binary input „>BLK CLP stpTim“ is active, no comparison is made with the "normal" thresh-
olds. The function is inactive and the fast reset time, if applied, is reset.
If overcurrent elements are picked up while time Active Time is running, the fault generally prevails until
pickup drops out, using the dynamic settings. Only then the parameters are set back to "normal".
If the dynamic setting values were activated via the binary input „>ACTIVATE CLP“ or the signal "79M Auto
Reclosing ready" and this cause drops out, the "normal" settings are restored immediately, even if a pickup is
the result.
If the binary input „>BLOCK CLP“ is enabled, all triggered timers are reset and, as a consequence, all "normal"
settings are immediately restored. If blocking occurs during an on-going fault with dynamic cold load pickup
functions enabled, the timers of all non-directional overcurrent relay elements are stopped and may then be
restarted based on their normal duration.
During power up of the protective relay with an open circuit breaker, the time delay CB Open Time is started,
and is processed using the "normal" settings. Therefore, when the circuit breaker is closed, the "normal" set-
tings are effective.
Figure 2-17 illustrates the timing sequence. Figure 2-18 shows the logic diagram of the dynamic cold load
pickup feature.
Figure 2-17 Timing charts of the dynamic cold load pickup function
Figure 2-18 Logic diagram of the dynamic cold load pickup function (50c, 50Nc, 51c, 51Nc, 67c, 67Nc)
General
The dynamic cold load pickup function can only be enabled if address 117 Coldload Pickup was set to
Enabled during configuration of the protective functions. If not required, this function should be set to
Disabled. The function can be turned ON or OFF under address 1701 Coldload Pickup.
Depending on the conditions that should initiate the cold load pickup function address 1702 Start
Condition is set to either No Current, Breaker Contact or to 79 ready. Naturally, the option Breaker
Contact can only be selected if the device receives information regarding the switching state of the circuit
breaker via at least one binary input. The option 79 ready modifies dynamically the pickup thresholds of the
overcurrent protection when the automatic reclosing feature is ready. To initiate the cold load pickup the auto-
matic reclosing function provides the internal signal "„79M Auto Reclosing ready“. It is always active
when auto-reclosure is available, activated, unblocked, and ready for a further cycle (see also Subsection 2.11).
Time Delays
There are no specific procedures on how to set the time delays at addresses 1703 CB Open Time, 1704
Active Time and 1705 Stop Time. These time delays must be based on the specific loading characteristics
of the equipment being protected, and should be set to allow for brief overloads associated with dynamic cold
load conditions.
The dynamic pickup values and tripping times associated with the time overcurrent protection functions are set
at address block 18 for the phase currents:
The dynamic pickup and delay settings for the high-set elements are set at addresses 1801 50c-2 PICKUP
or 1808 50c-3 PICKUP and 1802 50c-2 DELAY or 1809 50c-3 DELAY respectively; the dynamic pickup
and delay settings for the 67N-1 element are set at addresses 1803 50c-1 PICKUP and 1804 50c-1 DELAY
respectively; and the pickup, time multiplier (for IEC curves or user-defined curves), and time dial (for ANSI
curves) settings for the 67N-TOC element are set at addresses 1805 51c PICKUP, 1806 51c TIME DIAL
and 1807 51c TIME DIAL respectively.
The dynamic pickup and delay settings for the high-set elements are set at addresses 1901 50Nc-2 PICKUP
or 1908 50Nc-3 PICKUP and 1902 50Nc-2 DELAY or 1909 50Nc-3 DELAY respectively; the dynamic
pickup and delay settings for the 67N-1 element are set at addresses 1903 50Nc-1 PICKUP and 1904 50Nc-
1 DELAY respectively; and the pickup, time multiplier (for IEC curves or user-defined curves), and time dial (for
ANSI curves) settings for the 67N-TOC element are set at addresses 1905 51Nc PICKUP, 1906 51Nc T-
DIAL and 1907 51Nc T-DIAL respectively.
2.3.3 Settings
The table indicates region-specific default settings. Column C (configuration) indicates the corresponding sec-
ondary nominal current of the current transformer.
The single-phase overcurrent protection evaluates the current that is measured by the sensitive INS- or the
normal IN input. Which input is used depends on the device version according to the order number.
Applications
• Plain ground fault protection at a power transformer;
• Sensitive tank leakage protection.
The single-phase definite time overcurrent ground protection is illustrated by the tripping characteristic as
shown in Figure 2-19. The current to be measured is filtered by numerical algorithms. Because of the high sen-
sitivity a particularly narrow band filter is used. The current pickup thresholds and tripping times can be set. The
detected current is compared to the pickup value 50 1Ph-1 PICKUP or 50 1Ph-2 PICKUP and reported if
this is violated. After expiry of the respective delay time 50 1Ph-1 DELAY or 50 1Ph-2 DELAY, the trip
command is issued. The two elements together form a two-stage protection. The dropout value is approximate-
ly 95% of the pickup value for currents greater than I > 0.3 · INom.
The current filter is bypassed if currents are extremely high in order to achieve a short tripping time. This occurs
automatically as soon as the instantaneous value of the current exceeds the set value of the 50 1Ph-2
PICKUP element by at least factor 2 · √2.
The following figure shows the logic diagram of the single-phase overcurrent protection function.
Application Examples
In the high-impedance procedure, all CT's operate at the limits of the protected zone parallel on a common,
relatively high-resistive resistor R whose voltage is measured.
The CTs must be of the same design and feature at least a separate core for high-impedance protection. In
particular, they must have the same transformer ratios and approximately identical knee-point voltage.
With 7SJ61, the high-impedance principle is particularly well suited for detecting ground faults in grounded net-
works at transformers, generators, motors and shunt reactors.
Figure 2-21 shows an application example for a grounded transformer winding or a grounded motor/generator.
The right-hand example depicts an ungrounded transformer winding or an ungrounded motor/generator where
the grounding of the system is assumed somewhere else.
No zero sequence current will flow during normal operation, i.e. the starpoint current is ISP = 0 and the phase
currents are 3 I0 = IA + IB + IC = 0.
In case of an external ground fault (left in Figure 2-22), whose fault current is supplied via the grounded star-
point, the same current flows through the transformer starpoint and the phases. The corresponding secondary
currents (all current transformers have the same transformation ratio) compensate each other; they are con-
nected in series. Across resistor R only a small voltage is generated. It originates from the inner resistance of
the transformers and the connecting cables of the transformers. Even if any current transformer experiences a
partial saturation, it will become low-ohmic for the period of saturation and creates a low-ohmic shunt to the
high-ohmic resistor R. Thus, the high resistance of the resistor also has a stabilizing effect (the so-called resis-
tance stabilization).
Figure 2-22 Principle of ground fault protection according to the high-impedance principle
When a ground fault occurs in the protected zone (Fig. 2-22 right), there is always a starpoint current ISP. The
grounding conditions in the rest of the network determine how strong a zero sequence current from the system
is. A secondary current which is equal to the total fault current tries to pass through the resistor R. Since the
latter is high-resistive, a high voltage emerges immediately. Therefore, the current transformers get saturated.
The RMS voltage across the resistor approximately corresponds to the knee-point voltage of the current trans-
formers.
Resistance R is dimensioned such that, even with the very lowest ground fault current to be detected, it gen-
erates a secondary voltage, which is equal to half the saturation voltage of current transformers (see also notes
on "Dimensioning" in Subsection 2.4.4).
With 7SJ61 the sensitive measurement input INs or alternatively the insensitive measurement input IN is used
for high-impedance protection. As this is a current input, the protection detects current through the resistor
instead of the voltage across the resistor R.
Figure 2-23 illustrates the connection scheme. The protection device is connected in series to resistor R and
measures its current.
Varistor B limits the voltage when internal faults occur. High voltage peaks emerging with transformer satura-
tion are cut by the varistor. At the same time, voltage is smoothed without reduction of the mean value.
Figure 2-23 Connection diagram of the ground fault differential protection according to the
high-impedance principle
For protection against overvoltages it is also important that the device is directly connected to the grounded
side of the current transformers so that the high voltage at the resistor can be kept away from the device.
For generators, motors and shunt reactors high-impedance protection can be used analogously. All current
transformers at the overvoltage side, the undervoltage side and the current transformer at the starpoint have
to be connected in parallel when using auto-transformers.
In principle, this procedure can be applied to every protected object. When applied as busbar protection, for
example, the device is connected to the parallel connection of all feeder current transformers via the resistor.
Application Example
The tank leakage protection has the task to detect ground leakage — even high-ohmic — between a phase
and the frame of a power transformer. The tank must be isolated from ground. A conductor links the tank to
ground, and the current through this conductor is fed to a current input of the relay. When tank leakage occurs,
a fault current (tank leakage current) will flow through the grounding conductor to ground. This tank leakage
current is detected by the single-phase overcurrent protection as an overcurrent; an instantaneous or delayed
trip command is issued in order to disconnect all sides of the transformer.
A high-sensitivity single-phase current input is used for tank leakage protection.
General
Single-phase time overcurrent protection can be set ON or OFF at address 2701 50 1Ph.
The settings are based on the particular application. The setting ranges depend on whether the current mea-
suring input is a sensitive or a normal input transformer (see also „Ordering Information“ in Appendix A.1).
In case of a normal input transformer, set the pickup value for 50 1Ph-2 PICKUP in address 2702, the pickup
value for 50 1Ph-1 PICKUP in address 2705. If only one element is required, set the one not required to ∞.
In case of a sensitive input transformer, set the pickup value for 50 1Ph-2 PICKUP in address 2703, the
pickup value for 50 1Ph-1 PICKUP in address 2706. If only one element is required, set the one not required
to ∞.
If you need a tripping time delay for the50-2 elements,set it in address 2704 50 1Ph-2 DELAY, for the 50-1
element in address 2707 50 1Ph-1 DELAY. With setting 0 s no delay takes place.
The selected times are additional time delays and do not include the operating time (measuring time, etc.) of
the elements. The delay can also be set to ∞; the corresponding element will then not trip after pickup, but the
pickup is reported.
Special notes are given in the following for the use as high-impedance unit protection and tank leakage protec-
tion.
The application as high-impedance protection requires that starpoint current detection is possible in the system
in addition to phase current detection (see example in Figure 2-23). Furthermore, a sensitive input transformer
must be available at device input IN/INS. In this case, only the pickup value for single-phase overcurrent protec-
tion is set at the 7SJ61 device for the current at input IN/INS.
The entire function of high-impedance protection is, however, dependent on the interaction of current trans-
former characteristics, external resistor R and voltage across R. The following section gives information on this
topic.
All current transformers must have an identical transformation ratio and nearly equal knee-point voltage. This
is usually the case if they are of equal design and identical rated data. The knee-point voltage can be approx-
imately calculated from the rated data of a CT as follows:
The nominal current, nominal power and accuracy limit factor are normally stated on the rating plate of the
current transformer, e.g.
That means
INom = 5 A (from 800/5)
ALF = 10 (from 5P10)
PNom = 30 VA
The internal burden is often stated in the test report of the current transformer. If not, it can be derived from a
DC measurement on the secondary winding.
Calculation Example:
or
CT 800/1; 5P10; 30 VA with Ri = 5 Ω
Besides the CT data, the resistance of the longest connection lead between the CTs and the 7SJ61 device
must be known.
The stability condition is based on the following simplified assumption: If there is an external fault, one of the
current transformers gets totally saturated. The other ones will continue transmitting their (partial) currents. In
theory, this is the most unfavorable case. Since, in practice, it is also the saturated transformer which supplies
current, an automatic safety margin is guaranteed.
Figure 2-25 shows a simplified equivalent circuit. CT1 and CT2 are assumed as ideal transformers with their
inner resistances R i1 and R i2. Ra are the resistances of the connecting cables between current transformers
and resistor R. They are multiplied by 2 as they have a forward and a return line. Ra2 is the resistance of the
longest connecting cable.
CT1 transmits current I1. CT2 shall be saturated. Because of saturation the transformer represents a low-re-
sistance shunt which is illustrated by a dashed short-circuit line.
Figure 2-25 Simplified equivalent circuit of a circulating current system for high-impedance protection
VR = I1 · ( 2Ra2 + Ri2 )
It is assumed that the pickup value of the 7SJ61 corresponds to half the knee-point voltage of the current trans-
formers. In the balanced case results
VR = VKPV / 2
This results in a stability limit ISL , i.e. the maximum through-fault current below which the scheme remains
stable:
Calculation Example:
longest CT connection lead 22 m (24.06 yd) with 4 mm2 cross-section; this corresponds to Ra = 0.1 Ω
longest CT connection lead 107 m (117.02 yd) with 2.5 mm2 cross-section, results in Ra = 0.75 Ω
The voltage present at the CT set is forwarded to the protective relay across a series resistor R as proportional
current for evaluation. The following considerations are relevant for dimensioning the resistor:
As already mentioned, it is desired that the high-impedance protection should pick up at half the knee-point
voltage of the CT's. The resistor R can calculated on this basis.
Since the device measures the current flowing through the resistor, resistor and measuring input of the device
must be connected in series. Since, furthermore, the resistance shall be high-resistance (condition: R >> 2Ra2
+ Ri2, as mentioned above), the inherent resistance of the measuring input can be neglected. The resistance
is then calculated from the pickup current Ipu and half the knee-point voltage:
Calculation Example:
The required short-term power of the resistor is derived from the knee-point voltage and the resistance:
As this power only appears during ground faults for a short period of time, the rated power can be smaller by
approx. factor 5.
Please bear in mind that when choosing a higher pickup value Ipu, the resistance must be decreased and, in
doing so, power loss will increase significantly.
The varistor B (see following figure) must be dimensioned such that it remains high-resistive until reaching
knee-point voltage, e.g.
Figure 2-26 Connection diagram of the ground fault differential protection according to the high-impedance
principle
Even with an unfavorable external circuit, the maximum voltage peaks should not exceed 2 kV for safety rea-
sons.
If performance makes it necessary to switch several varistors in parallel, preference should by given to types
with a flat characteristic to avoid asymmetrical loading. therefore recommend the following types from
METROSIL:
The pickup value (0.1 A or 0.05 A in the example) is set in address 2706 50 1Ph-1 PICKUP in the device.
The 50-2 element is not required (address 2703 50 1Ph-2 PICKUP = ∞ ).
The trip command of the protection can be delayed via address 2707 50 1Ph-1 DELAY. Normally, such delay
is set to 0.
If a higher number of CTs is connected in parallel, e.g. as busbar protection with several feeders, the magne-
tizing currents of the transformers connected in parallel cannot be neglected anymore. In this case, the mag-
netizing currents at half the knee-point voltage (corresponds to the setting value) have to be summed up. These
magnetizing currents reduce the current through the resistor R. Therefore the actual pickup value will be cor-
respondingly higher.
The use as tank leakage protection requires that a sensitive input transformer is available at the device input
IN/INS. In this case, only the pickup value for single phase overcurrent protection is set at the 7SJ61 device for
the current at input IN/INS.
The tank leakage protection is a sensitive overcurrent protection which detects the leakage current between
the isolated transformer tank and ground. Its sensitivity is set in address 2706 50 1Ph-1 PICKUP. The 50-2
element is not required (address 2703 50 1Ph-2 PICKUP = ∞ ).
The trip command of the element can be delayed in address 2707 50 1Ph-1 DELAY. It is normally set to 0.
Note
In the following settings, addresses 2703 and 2706 are valid for a highly sensitive current measuring input in-
dependently of the nominal current.
2.4.5 Settings
The table indicates region-specific default settings. Column C (configuration) indicates the corresponding sec-
ondary nominal current of the current transformer.
Applications
• The application of unbalanced load protection to motors has a special significance. Unbalanced loads create
counter-rotating fields in three-phase induction motors, which act on the rotor at double frequency. Eddy cur-
rents are induced at the rotor surface, and local overheating in rotor end zones and the slot wedge begins
to take place. This especially goes for motors which are tripped via vacuum contactors with fuses connected
in series. With single-phasing by fuse pickup the motor only generates small and pulsing moments such that
it soon gets strained thermally assuming, however, that the driven machine requires the same amount of
moments. In addition, with unbalanced supply voltage it is endangered by thermal overload. Due to the small
negative sequence reactance even small voltage asymmetries lead to negative sequence currents.
• In addition, this protection function may be used to detect interruptions, short circuits and polarity problems
with current transformers.
• It is also useful in detecting single-pole and two-pole faults with fault currents lower than the maximum load
currents.
Prerequisites
The definite time characteristic consists of two elements. As soon as the first settable threshold 46-1 PICKUP
is reached, a pickup message is output and time element 46-1 DELAY is started. When the second element
46-2 PICKUP is started, another message is output and time element 46-2 DELAY is initiated. Once either
time delay elapses, a trip signal is initiated.
Pickup stabilization for the definite-time tripping characteristic 46-1, 46-2 can be accomplished by means of
settable dropout times. This facility is used in power systems with possible intermittent faults. Used together
with electromechanical relays, it allows different dropout responses to be adjusted and time grading of digital
and electromechanical relays to be implemented.
The inverse time element is dependent on the ordered device version. It operates with IEC or ANSI character-
istic tripping curves. The curves and associated formulas are given in the Technical Data. When programming
the inverse time characteristic also definite time elements 46-2 PICKUP and 46-1 PICKUP are available (see
aforegoing paragraph).
The negative sequence current I2 is compared to the setting value 46-TOC PICKUP. When the negative se-
quence current exceeds 1.1 times the setting value, a pickup annunciation is generated. The tripping time is
calculated from the negative sequence current according to the characteristic selected. After expiration of the
time period a tripping command is output. The characteristic curve is illustrated in the following figure.
The element drops out when the negative sequence current decreases to approx. 95% of the pickup setting.
The time delay resets immediately in anticipation of another pickup.
When using an ANSI curve, select if dropout after pickup is instantaneous or with disk emulation. "Instanta-
neous" means that pickup drops out when the pickup value of approx. 95 % is undershot. For a new pickup the
time delay starts at zero.
The disk emulation evokes a dropout process (timer counter is decrementing) which begins after de-energiza-
tion. This process corresponds to the reset of a Ferraris-disk (explaining its denomination "disk emulation"). In
case several faults occur in succession the "history" is taken into consideration due to the inertia of the Ferraris-
disk and the time response is adapted. This ensures a proper simulation of the temperature rise of the protected
object even for extremely fluctuating unbalanced load values. Reset begins as soon as 90 % of the setting
value is undershot, in accordance with the dropout curve of the selected characteristic. In the range between
the dropout value (95 % of the pickup value) and 90 % of the setting value, the incrementing and the decre-
menting process is in idle state.
Disk emulation offers advantages when the behavior of the negative sequence protection must be coordinated
with other relays in the system based on electromagnetic measuring principles.
Logic
The following figure shows the logic diagram for the negative sequence protection function. The protection may
be blocked via a binary input. This resets pickup and time elements and clears measured values.
When the negative sequence protection criteria are no longer satisfied (i.e. all phase currents below 0.1 x INom
or at least one phase current is greater than 10 x INom) all pickups issued by the negative sequence protection
function are reset.
The pickup of the definite time overcurrent protection can be stabilized by the configured dropout time 4012
46 T DROP-OUT. This time is started and maintains the pickup condition if the current falls below the threshold.
Therefore, the function does not drop out at high speed. The trip command delay time continues running. After
the dropout delay time has elapsed, the pickup is reported OFF and the trip delay time is reset unless the
threshold has been exceeded again. If the threshold is exceeded again during the dropout delay time, the time
is cancelled. The trip command delay time continues running. Should the threshold value be exceeded after its
expiry, the trip command is issued immediately. If the threshold value is not exceeded at this time, there will be
no reaction. If the threshold value is exceeded again after expiry of the trip-command delay time, while the
dropout delay time is still running, tripping occurs immediately.
The configured dropout times do not influence the tripping times of the inverse time elements as these depend
dynamically on the measured current value. For purposes of dropout coordination, disc emulation is used with
electro-mechanical relays.
General
The function type has been specified during configuration of the protection functions (Section 2.1.1.2, address
140 46). If only the definite time elements are desired, the address 46 should be set to Definite Time. Se-
lecting 46 = TOC IEC or TOC ANSI in address 140 will additionally make all parameters available that are
relevant for the inverse time curves. If this function is not required, then Disabled is set.
The default pickup settings and delay settings are generally sufficient for most applications. If data is available
from the manufacturer regarding the allowable long-term load imbalance and the allowable load imbalance per
unit of time, this data should be used preferentially. It is important to note that the manufacturer's data relate to
the primary values of the machine, for example, the maximum permissible permanent inverse current is re-
ferred to the nominal machine current. For the setting values at the protection device, this information is con-
verted to the secondary inverse current. The following applies
with
The unbalanced load protection function comprises elements. Therefore, the upper element (address 4004
46-2 PICKUP) can be set to a short time delay (address 4005 46-2 DELAY) and the lower element (address
4002 46-1 PICKUP) can be set to a somewhat longer time delay (address 4003 46-1 DELAY). This allows
the lower element to act, e.g. as an alarm, while the upper element will cut the inverse characteristic as soon
as high inverse currents are present. If 46-2 PICKUP is set to about 60%, tripping is always performed with
the thermal characteristic. On the other hand, with more than 60 % of unbalanced load the user will assume a
phase-to-phase fault. The delay time 46-2 DELAY must be coordinated with the system grading for phase-to-
phase faults. If power supply with current I is provided via just two phases, the following applies to the inverse
current:
Examples:
When protecting feeder or cable systems, unbalanced load protection may serve to identify low magnitude un-
symmetrical faults below the pickup values of the directional and non-directional overcurrent elements.
A phase-to-ground fault with current I corresponds to the following negative sequence current:
On the other hand, with more than 60% of unbalanced load, a phase-to-phase fault can be assumed. The delay
time 46-2 DELAY must be coordinated with the system grading of phase-to-phase faults.
For a power transformer, unbalanced load protection may be used as sensitive protection for low magnitude
phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase faults. In particular, this application is well suited for delta-wye transform-
ers where low side phase-to-ground faults do not generate high side zero sequence currents (e.g. vector group
Dy).
Since transformers transform symmetrical currents according to the transformation ratio "CTR", the relationship
between negative sequence currents and total fault current for phase-to-phase faults and phase-to-ground
faults are valid for the transformer as long as the turns ratio "CTR" is taken into consideration.
If 46-1 PICKUP on the high side of the devices is set to = 0.1, then a fault current of I = 3 · TRV · TRI · 46-1
PICKUP = 3 · 110/20 · 100 · 0.1 A = 165 A for single-phase faults and √3 · TRV · TRI ·46-1 PICKUP = 95 A
can be detected for two-phase faults at the low side. This corresponds to 36% and 20% of the transformer
nominal current respectively. It is important to note that load current is not taken into account in this simplified
example.
As it cannot be recognized reliably on which side the thus detected fault is located, the delay time 46-1 DELAY
must be coordinated with other downstream relays in the system.
Pickup of the definite time elements can be stabilized by means of a configurable dropout time. This dropout
time is set in 4012 46 T DROP-OUT.
The thermal behavior of a machine can be closely replicated due to negative sequence by means of an inverse
time tripping curve. In address 4006 46 IEC CURVE, select out of three IEC curves provided by the device
the curve which is most similar to the thermal unbalanced load curve provided by the manufacturer. The tripping
curves of the protective relay, and the formulas on which they are based, are given in the Technical Data.
It must be noted that a safety factor of about 1.1 has already been included between the pickup value and the
setting value when an inverse time characteristic is selected. This means that a pickup will only occur if an un-
balanced load of about 1.1 times the setting value 46-TOC PICKUP is present (address 4008). The dropout
is performed as soon as the value falls below 95% of the pickup value.
The time multiplier can also be set to ∞. After pickup the element will then not trip. Pickup, however, will be
signaled. If the inverse time element is not required at all, address 140 46 should be set to Definite Time
during the configuration of protection functions (Section 2.1.1.2).
Behavior of a machine due to negative sequence current can be closely replicated by means of an inverse time
tripping curve. In address 4007 the 46 ANSI CURVE, select out of four ANSI curves provided by the device
the curve which is most similar to the thermal unbalanced load curve provided by the manufacturer. The tripping
curves of the protective relay, and the formulas on which they are based, are given in the Technical Data.
It must be noted that a safety factor of about 1.1 has already been included between the pickup value and the
setting value when an inverse time characteristic is selected. This means that a pickup will only occur if an un-
balanced load of about 1.1 times the setting value is present. If Disk Emulation was selected at address
4011 46-TOC RESET, reset will occur in accordance with the reset curve as described in the Functional De-
scription.
The unbalanced load value is set at address 4008 46-TOC PICKUP. The corresponding time multiplier is ac-
cessible via address 4009 46-TOC TIMEDIAL.
The time multiplier can also be set to ∞. In this case, the element will not trip after pickup. However, pickup, will
be signaled. If the inverse time element is not required at all, address 140 46 should be set to Definite Time
during configuration of the protection functions (Section 2.1.1.2).

The table indicates region-specific default settings. Column C (configuration) indicates the corresponding sec-
ondary nominal current of the current transformer.
For the protection of motors, devices 7SJ61 are provided with a motor starting protection function, a restart
inhibit and a load jam protection. The starting protection function protects the motor from prolonged startup pro-
cedures thus supplementing the overload protection (see Section 2.7). The restart inhibit prevents restarting of
the motor when this restart may cause the permissible thermal limits of the rotor to be exceeded. The load jam
protection serves to protect the motor during sudden rotor blocking.
When devices 7SJ61 are used to protect a motor, the starting protection feature supplements the overload pro-
tection and protects the motor against prolonged starting operations (see Section 2.7).
2.6.1.1 Description
General
In particular, rotor-critical high-voltage motors can quickly be heated above their thermal limits when multiple
starting attempts occur in a short period of time. If the durations of these starting attempts are lengthened e.g.
by excessive voltage surges during motor starting, by excessive load moments, or by blocked rotor conditions,
a trip signal will be initiated by the protective relay.
Motor starting is detected when a settable current threshold I MOTOR START is exceeded. Calculation of the
tripping time is then initiated. It should be noted that this timer starts every time the motor is started. This is
therefore a normal operating condition that is neither indicated in the fault log nor causes the creation of a fault
record. Only when the locked rotor time has elapsed is the trip command issued.
The protection function consists of one definite time and one inverse time tripping element.
The inverse time overcurrent element is designed to operate only when the rotor is not blocked. With a de-
creased startup current resulting from voltage dips when starting the motor, prolonged startup times are eval-
uated correctly and tripping with an appropriate time is enabled. The characteristic (see formula below) can be
ideally adjusted to the condition of the motor by using different startup times depending on the cold or warm
condition of the motor (see Figure 2-30).

IMOTOR START Pickup value for recognition of motor startup (address 1107, I MOTOR START),
Figure 2-30 Inverse time tripping curve for motor starting current
Therefore, if the startup current I is smaller (larger) than the nominal current ISTARTUP (parameter STARTUP
CURRENT) as configured under address 4102, then the actual tripping time tTrip is prolonged (or shortened) ac-
cordingly (see Figure 2-30).
Tripping must be executed when the actual motor starting time exceeds the maximum allowable locked rotor
time if the rotor is locked. The device can be informed about the locked rotor condition via the binary input
(„>Rotor locked“), e.g. from an external r.p.m. monitor. The motor startup condition is assumed when the
current in any phase exceeds the current threshold I MOTOR START. At this instant, the timer LOCK ROTOR
TIME is started.
The locked rotor delay time (LOCK ROTOR TIME) is linked to a binary input „>Rotor locked“ via an AND
gate. If the binary input is picked up after the set locked rotor time has expired, immediate tripping will take
place regardless of whether the locked rotor condition occurred before, during or after the timeout.
Logic
Motor starting protection may be switched on or off. In addition, motor starting protection may be blocked via a
binary input which will reset timers and pickup annunciations. The following figure illustrates the logic of motor
starting protection. A pickup does not create messages in the trip log buffer. Fault recording is not started until
a trip command has been issued. When the function drops out, all timers are reset. The annunciations disap-
pear and a trip log is terminated should it have been created.
The motor manufacturer provides startup time curves for both cold and warm motor conditions (see Figure 2-
30). The function Motor Starting Protection automatically performs a switching. The "warm motor" condition is
derived from the thermal storage of the restart inhibit (see Section 2.6.2). Therefore, this function must be en-
abled. The condition for the switching is determined by the parameter 4106 TEMP.COLD MOTOR. If the motor
temperature (actually the rotor temperature) exceeds the threshold value, then a switching from "cold motor"
to "warm motor" takes place (see logic diagram 2-31). The threshold values can be derived from the permitted
number of cold (ncold) and warm (nwarm) motor startups. By means of the following formula an approximate limit
value can be determined.
The setting value should always be lower than the limit value (see Setting Notes2.6.1.2).
General
Motor starting protection is only effective and accessible if address 141 48 = Enabled is set. If the function is
not required Disabled is set. The function can be turned ON or OFF under address 4101 48.
Startup Parameter
The device is informed of the startup current values under normal conditions at address 4102 STARTUP
CURRENT, the startup time at address 4103 STARTUP TIME. At all times this enables timely tripping if the value
I2t calculated in the protection device is exceeded.
If the startup time is longer than the permissible blocked rotor time, an external rpm-counter can initiate the
definite-time tripping characteristic via binary input („>Rotor locked“). A locked rotor leads to a loss of ven-
tilation and therefore to a reduced thermal load capacity of the machine. For this reason, the motor starting time
function is to issue a tripping command before reaching the thermal tripping characteristic valid for normal op-
eration.
A current above the current threshold 1107 I MOTOR START is interpreted as motor startup. Consequently,
this value must be chosen such that it is reliably attained by the actual starting current under any load or voltage
conditions during motor startup, but not during a permissible short-time overload.
The setting for address STARTUP CURRENT (ISTARTUP) as a secondary value is calculated as follows:
For reduced voltage, the startup current is also reduced almost linearly. At 80 % nominal voltage, the startup
current in this example is reduced to 0.8 · ISTARTUP = 2.5.
The setting for detection of a motor startup must lie above the maximum load current and below the minimum
start-up current. If no other influencing factors are present (peak loads), the value for motor startup I MOTOR
START set at address 1107 may be an average value:
For ratios deviating from nominal conditions, the motor tripping time changes:
At 80% of nominal voltage (which corresponds to 80% of nominal starting current), the tripping time is:
After the time delay (4104 LOCK ROTOR TIME) has elapsed, the binary input becomes effective and generates
a trip signal. If the locked rotor time is set just long enough that during normal startup the binary input „>Rotor
locked“ (FNo. 6805) is reliably reset during the delay time LOCK ROTOR TIME, faster tripping will be available
during motor starting under locked rotor conditions.
The motor restart inhibit prevents restarting of the motor when this restart may cause the permissible thermal
limits of the rotor to be exceeded.
Additionally, the function can trip directly if the rotor temperature exceeds the maximum admissible tempera-
ture (100%) (rotor overload).
2.6.2.1 Description
General
The rotor temperature of a motor generally remains well below its maximum admissible temperature during
normal operation and also under increased load conditions. However, high startup currents required during
motor startup increase the risk of the rotor being thermally damaged rather the stator, due to the short thermal
constant of the rotor. To avoid that multiple starting attempts provoke tripping, a restart of the motor must be
inhibited if it is apparent that the thermal limit of the rotor will be exceeded during this startup attempt. There-
fore, the 7SJ61 relays feature the motor restart inhibit which outputs a blocking command until a new motor
startup is permitted for the deactivated motor (restarting limit). The blocking signal must be configured to a
binary output relay of the device whose contact is inserted in the motor starting circuit.
Since the rotor current cannot be measured directly, the stator current must be used to generate a thermal
replica of the rotor. The r.m.s. values of the currents are used for this. The rotor overtemperature ΘR is calcu-
lated using the largest of these three phase currents. It is assumed that the thermal limit values for the rotor
winding are based on the manufacturer's data regarding the nominal starting current, maximum permissible
starting time, and the number of starts permitted from cold (ncold) and warm (nwarm) conditions. From this data,
the device performs the necessary calculations to establish the thermal replica of the rotor and issues a block-
ing signal until the thermal replica of the rotor decreases below the restarting limit at which startup is permitted
again.
Figure 2-32 Temperature curve at the rotor and in the thermal replica during repeated start-up attempts
Although the heat distribution on the rotor bars may severely differ during motor starting, the different maximum
temperatures in the the rotor are not pertinant for motor restart inhibit (see Figure 2-32). It is much more impor-
tant to establish a thermal replica, after a complete motor start, that is appropriate for the protection of the
motor's thermal condition. Figure 2-32 shows, as an example, the heating processes during repeated motor
starts (three starts from cold operating condition), as well as the thermal replica in the protection relay.
Restart Threshold
If the rotor temperature has exceeded the restart threshold, the motor cannot be restarted. The blocking signal
is not lifted unless the rotor temperature has fallen below the restarting limit, that is, when exactly one start
becomes possible without exceeding the excessive rotor temperature limit. Based on the specified motor pa-
rameters the device calculates the normalized restarting limit ΘRestart:
Where:
ΘRestart = Temperature threshold below which restarting is possible
kR = k-factor for the rotor, calculated internally
ISTARTUP = Startup current
IMOTNom = Nominal motor current
Tstart max = Maximum startup time
τR = Thermal time constant of the rotor, calculated internally
ncold = Permissible number of startups in cold condition
The restarting limit ΘRestart is displayed as operational measured value in the ”thermal measured values”.
If the rotor temperature exceeds 100% of the maximum temperature calculated from the thermal rotor profile,
there is a risk of motor damage. If this threshold value is exceeded, either tripping occurs or an overload
message is issued. The desired reaction can be determined via parameter 4311 ROTOR OVERLOAD. If param-
eter is set to OFF, rotor overload will not be detected.
Restart Time
The motor manufacturer allows a maximum number of cold (ncold) and warm (nwarm) startup attempts. There-
after, another startup is not permitted. A certain time must have passed — restarting time TRestart — to ensure
that the rotor has cooled off (operational measured value 661).
Equilibrium Time
This thermal behavior is provided for in the protection as follows: Each time the motor is shut down, the timer
starts (address 4304 T Equal). It takes into account the different thermal conditions of the motor parts at the
moment of shutdown. During the equilibrium time, the thermal replica of the rotor is not updated. It is maintained
constant to replicate the equilization process in the rotor. Then, the thermal replica with the corresponding time
constant (rotor time constant x extension factor) cools down. During the equilibrium time the motor cannot be
restarted. As soon as the temperature sinks below the restarting limit, the next restart attempt can be made.
Regardless of thermal replicas, some motor manufacturers require a minimum inhibit time after the maximum
number of permissible startup attempts has been exceeded.
The total duration of the inhibit signal depends on which of the times TMin Inhibit or TRestart is longer.
The total waiting time TReclose before the motor can be restarted is therefore composed of the equilibrium time,
the time TRestart calculated from the thermal replica and the value that is needed to drop below the limit for re-
starting. If the calculated temperature rise of the rotor is above the restarting limit when the motor is shut down,
the minimum inhibit time will be started together with the equilibrium time.
Thus the total inhibit time TReclose can become equal to the minimum inhibit time if it is longer than the sum of
the two first mentioned times:
TReclose = TMin Inhibit for TMin Inhibit ≥ TEqual + TRestart if the calculated excessive temperature > re-
starting limit
The operational measured value 809 TReclose (visible in the thermal measured values) is the remaining time until
the next restart is permissible. When the rotor excessive temperature is below the restarting limit and thus the
next restarting attempt is permitted, the operational measured value for the waiting time has reached zero.
In order to properly account for the reduced heat exchange when a self-ventilated motor is stopped, the cool
down time constants can be increased relative to the time constants for a running machine with the factor Kτ
at STOP (address 4308). The criterion for the motor stop is the undershooting of a set current threshold
BkrClosed I MIN. This understands that the motor idle current is greater than this threshold. The pickup
threshold BkrClosed I MIN affects also the thermal overload protective function (see Section 2.7).
While the motor is running, the heating of the thermal replica is modeled with the time constant τR calculated
from the motor ratings, and the cool down calculated with the time constant τR · Kτ at RUNNING (address
4309). In this way, the protection caters to the requirements in case of a slow cool down (slow temperature
equilibrium).

kt at STOP Extension factor for the time constant = Kτ at STOP, address 4308
k t at RUNNING Extension factor for the time constant = Kτ at RUNNING, address 4309
Θpre thermal replica at the moment of motor shutdown (depending on operational condition)
Depending on the setting in address 235 ATEX100 of Power System Data 1 (see Section 2.1.3.2) the value of
the thermal replica is either reset to zero (ATEX100 = NO) if the power supply voltage fails, or cyclically buffered
in a non-volatile memory (ATEX100 = YES) so that it is maintained in the event of auxiliary supply voltage fail-
ure. In the latter case, when power supply is restored, the thermal replica uses the stored value for calculation
and matches it to the operating conditions. The first option is the default setting. For further details, see /5/.
Emergency Start
If, for emergency reasons, motor starting that will exceed the maximum allowable rotor temperature must take
place, the motor restart inhibit signal can be removed via a binary input („>66 emer.start“), thus allowing
a new starting attempt. The thermal rotor profile, however, continues to function and the maximum allowable
rotor temperature will be exceeded. No motor shutdown will be initiated by the motor restart inhibit, but the cal-
culated excessive temperature of the rotor can be observed for risk assessment.
Blocking
If the motor restart inhibit function is blocked via binary input „>BLOCK 66“ or switched off, the thermal replica
of the rotor overtemperature, the equilibrium time T Equal and the minimum inhibit time T MIN. INHIBIT
are reset. Thus any blocking signal that is present or upcoming is disregarded.
Via another binary input („>66 RM th.repl.“) the thermal replica can be reset independently. This may be
useful for testing and commissioning, and after a power supply voltage failure.
Logic
There is no pickup annunciation for the restart inhibit and no trip log is produced. The following figure shows
the logic diagram for the restart inhibit.
General
Restart inhibit is only effective and accessible if address 143 48 is set to Enabled. If not required, this function
is set to Disabled. The function can be turned ON or OFF under address 4301 FCT 66..
Note
When function settings of the motor restart inhibit are changed, the thermal replica of this function is reset.
The motor restart inhibit acts on the starting process of a motor that is shut down. A motor is considered shut
down when its current consumption falls below the settable threshold 212 BkrClosed I MIN. Therefore, this
threshold must be set lower than the motor idle current.
The motor restart inhibit concludes the condition „warm motor“ from the thermal replica of the restart inhibit. For
this function, address 4301FCT 66 has to be enabled.
Additionally, the function can trip directly if the rotor temperature exceeds the maximum admissible tempera-
ture (100%). For this purpose address 4311 ROTOR OVERLOAD is set to ON. If only monitoring is desired, set
to Alarm Only, otherwise to OFF.
Characteristic Values
Many of the variables needed to calculate the rotor temperature are supplied by the motor manufacturer.
Among these variables are the starting current ISTARTUP, the nominal motor current IMOT. NOM, the maximum al-
lowable starting time T START MAX (address 4303), the number of allowable starts from cold conditions (ncold),
and the number of allowable starts from warm conditions (nwarm).
The starting current is entered at address 4302 IStart/IMOTnom , expressed as a multiple of nominal motor
current. In contrast, the nominal motor current is entered as a secondary value, directly in amperes, at address
4305 I MOTOR NOMINAL. The number of warm starts allowed is entered at address 4306 (MAX.WARM
STARTS) and the difference (#COLD-#WARM) between the number of allowable cold and warm starts is entered
at address 4307.
For motors without separate ventilation, the reduced cooling at motor stop can be accounted for by entering
the factor Kτ at STOP at address 4308. As soon as the current no longer exceeds the setting value entered
at address 212 BkrClosed I MIN, motor standstill is detected and the time constant is increased by the ex-
tension factor configured.
If no difference between the time constants is to be used (e.g. externally-ventilated motors), then the extension
factor Kτ at STOP should be set to 1.
The cooling with the motor running is influenced by the extension factor 4309 Kτ at RUNNING. This factor
considers that motor running under load and a stopped motor do not cool down at the same speed. It becomes
effective as soon as the current exceeds the value set at address 212 BkrClosed I MIN. With Kτ at
RUNNING = 1 the heating and the cooling time constant are the same at operating conditions (I > BkrClosed
I MIN).
MAX.WARM STARTS = 2
#COLD-#WARM = 1
For the rotor temperature equilibrium time, (address 4304) a setting time of approx. T Equal = 1 min has
proven to be a good value. The value for the minimum inhibit time T MIN. INHIBIT depends on the motor
manufacturer, or by the user's requirements. It must in any case be higher than 4304 T Equal. In this exam-
ple, a value has been chosen that reflects the thermal replica (T MIN. INHIBIT = 6.0 min).
The motor manufacturer's, or the requirements also determine also the extension factor for the time constant
during cool-down, especially with the motor stopped. Where no other specifications are made, the following
settings are recommended: Kτ at STOP = 5 and Kτ at RUNNING = 2.
For a proper functioning, it is also important that the CT values and the current threshold for distinction between
stopped and running motor (address 212 BkrClosed I MIN, recommended setting ≈ 0.1 IMOT.NOM) have been
set correctly. An overview of parameters and their default settings is generally given in the setting tables.
For a better understanding of the above considerations several possible operating ranges in two different op-
erating areas will be discussed in the following paragraph. Settings indicated above are to be used prevaling 3
cold and 2 warm startup attempts have resulted in the restart limit reaching 66.7%.
The load jam protection serves to protect the motor during sudden rotor blocking. Damage to drives, bearings
and other mechanic motor components can be avoided or reduced by means of quick motor shutdown.
The blocking results in a current jump in the phases. This is detected by the function as a recognition criteria.
The thermal overload protection would of course also pickup as soon as the configured threshold values of the
thermal replicas are exceeded. The load jam protection, however, is able to detect a locked rotor quicker, thus
reducing possible damage to the motor and powered equipment.
Principle of Operation
Figure 2-36 illustrates the feature of an asynchronous cage motor. Nominal current is flowing at normal load. If
the load is increased, the current flow also increases and the speed decreases. Above a certain load, however,
the motor is no longer able to adjust the speed by increasing the torque. The motor comes to standstill in spite
of an increase in current to a multiple of its nominal value (see Figure 2-37). Other types of induction motors
have similar characteristics. Apart from the thermal heating of the motor, a locked rotor causes substantial me-
chanical strain on coils and bearings.
Figure 2-37 illustrates an example of a locked rotor caused by mechanical overload. It should be noted that the
current flow increases substantially as soon as the mechanical load reaches the stability limit.
Figure 2-37 Example of the time characteristic for mechanical rotor blocking
Logic
A continuous comparison of the motor current with the configured threshold values of the protection function
takes place for the purpose of detecting a locked rotor. Figure 2-38 shows the logic diagram. The threshold-
value comparison is blocked during the motor startup phase, as the startup currents usually move in a size
similar to the occurring currents when a rotor is locked.
The algorithm verifies the motor standstill according to currents and (if available) the message „>52-a“. As
soon as a current increase is applied after detection of the motor standstill, the load jam protection is tempo-
rarily blocked in order to avoid motor shutdown during the motor startup phase.
The motor is detected as being in standstill when none of the three phase currents exceeds the threshold set
via address 212 BkrClosed I MIN and the binary signal „>52-a“ is inactive. The „>52-a“ signal is only
taken into account if the binary input is allocated accordingly.
Elements
A warning and a tripping element can be configured. The threshold value of the tripping element 4402 Load
Jam I> is usually configured below motor startup at double motor ampere rating. Warning element 4404 I
Alarm is naturally set below the tripping element, to approx. 75% of the tripping element, with a longer delay
time (parameter 4405 ALARM DELAY). If the warning element is not required, the pickup value can be set to
its maximum value and the respective message from the buffers can be removed.
Due to the threshold setting below the motor startup current, the load jam protection during motor startup must
be blocked. Via parameters 212 BkrClosed I MIN the open circuit breaker is detected during current-flow
measurement (motor standstill). In this condition the load change protection is blocked. After having closed the
circuit breaker, the blocking is maintained during motor startup by the setting 4406 T Start Blk.. In order
to avoid malfunctioning, the T Start Blk. is set to the double startup time.
Example:
The setting for address 4402 Load Jam I> as secondary value is calculated as follows:
The tripping delay time can remain at the default setting of 1 s. The warning threshold is set to 75% of the trip-
ping element (4404 I Alarm ≡ 0.95 A sec.).
In order to block the function during motor startup, the parameter 4406 T Start Blk. is set to double startup
time (T Start Blk. = 2 · 8.5 s = 17 s).

The thermal overload protection is designed to prevent thermal overloads from damaging the protected equip-
ment. The protection function represents a thermal replica of the equipment to be protected (overload protec-
tion with memory capability). Both the previous history of an overload and the heat loss to the environment are
taken into account.
Applications
• In particular, the thermal overload protection allows the thermal status of motors, generators and transform-
ers to be monitored.
• If an additional thermal input is available, the thermal replica may take the actual ambient or coolant tem-
perature into account.

If the ambient or coolant temperature is not measured, a constant value of Θu = 40°C is assumed so that Θu' = 0.
The protection feature therefore represents a thermal replica of the equipment to be protected (overload pro-
tection with memory capability). Both the previous history of an overload and the heat loss to the environment
are taken into account.
When the calculated overtemperature reaches the first settable threshold 49 Θ ALARM, an alarm annunciation
is issued, e.g. to allow time for the load reduction measures to take place. When the calculated overtempera-
ture reaches the second threshold, the protected equipment may be disconnected from the system. The
highest overtemperature calculated from the three phase currents is used as the criterion.
The maximum thermally-permissible continuous current Imax is described as a multiple of the object nominal
current INom Obj.:
In addition to the k factor (parameter 49 K-FACTOR), the TIME CONSTANT τth and the alarm temperature 49
Θ ALARM (in percent of the trip temperature ΘTRIP) must be specified.
Overload protection also features a current warning element (I ALARM) in addition to the temperature warning
element. The current warning element may report an overload current prematurely, even if the calculated op-
erating temperature has not yet attained the warning or tripping levels.
The device can account for external temperatures. Depending on the type of application, this may be a coolant
or ambient temperature. The temperature can be measured via a temperature detection unit (RTD-box). For
this purpose, the required temperature detector is connected to detector input 1 of the first RTD-box (corre-
sponds to RTD 1). If incorrect temperature values are measured or there are disturbances between the RTD-
box and the device, an alarm will be issued and the standard temperature of Θu = 40 °C is used for calculation
with the ambient temperature detection simply being ignored.
When detecting the coolant temperature, the maximum permissible current Imax is influenced by the tempera-
ture difference of the coolant (in comparison with the standard value = 104° F or 40° C). If the ambient or
coolant temperature is low, the protected object can support a higher current than it does when the temperature
is high.
When using the device to protect motors, the varying thermal response at standstill or during rotation may be
correctly evaluated. When running down or at standstill, a motor without external cooling looses heat more
slowly, and a longer thermal time constant must be used for calculation. For a motor that is switched off, the
7SJ61 increases the time constant τ th by a programmable factor (kτ factor). The motor is considered to be off
when the motor currents drop below a programmable minimum current setting BkrClosed I MIN (refer to
"Current Flow Monitoring" in Section 2.1.3). For externally-cooled motors, cables and transformers, the Kτ-
FACTOR = 1.
Current Limiting
In order to ensure that overload protection, on occurrence of high fault currents (and with small time constants),
does not result in extremely short tripping times thereby perhaps affecting time grading of the short circuit pro-
tection, the thermal replica is frozen (kept constant) as soon as the current exceeds the threshold value 1107
I MOTOR START.
Blocking
The thermal memory may be reset via a binary input („>RES 49 Image“) and the current-related overtem-
perature value is thus reset to zero. The same is accomplished via the binary input („>BLOCK 49 O/L“); in
this case the entire overload protection is blocked completely, including the current warning element.
When motors must be started for emergency reasons, temperatures above the maximum permissible overtem-
peratures can be allowed by blocking the trip signal via a binary input („>EmergencyStart“). Since the
thermal replica may have exceeded the tripping temperature after initiation and dropout of the binary input has
taken place, the protection function features a programmable run-on time interval (T EMERGENCY) which is
started when the binary input drops out and continues suppressing a trip signal. Tripping via the overload pro-
tection is suppressed until this time interval has elapsed. The binary input affects only the trip command. There
is no effect on the trip log nor does the thermal replica reset.
Depending on the setting in address 235 ATEX100 of Power System Data 1 (see Section 2.1.3) the value of
the thermal replica is either reset to zero (ATEX100 = NO) if the power supply voltage fails, or cyclically buffered
in a non-volatile memory (ATEX100 = YES) so that it is maintained in the event of auxiliary supply voltage fail-
ure. In the latter case, the thermal replica uses the stored value for calculation and matches it to the operating
conditions. The first option is the default setting (see /5/).
The following figure shows the logic diagram for the overload protection function.
General
The overload protection is only in effect and accessible if address 142 49 = No ambient temp or = With
amb. temp. during configuration. If the function is not required Disabled is set.
Transformers and cable are prone to damage by overloads that last for an extended period of time. Overloads
cannot and should not be detected by fault protection. Time overcurrent protection should be set high enough
to only detect faults since these must be cleared in a short time. Short time delays, however, do neither allow
measures to discharge overloaded equipment nor do they permit to take advantage of its (limited) overload ca-
pacity.
The protective relays 7SJ61 feature a thermal overload protective function with a thermal tripping curve which
may be adapted to the overload tolerance of the equipment being protected (overload protection with memory
capability).
Overload protection can be switched ON or OFF or set to Alarm Only at address 4201 FCT 49. If overload
protection is ON, tripping, trip log and fault recording is possible.
When setting Alarm Only no trip command is given, no trip log is initiated and no spontaneous fault annun-
ciation is shown on the display.
Note
Changing the function parameters resets the thermal replica. The thermal model is frozen (kept constant), as
soon as the current exceeds the setting value 1107 I MOTOR START.
The overload protection is set in reference values. The nominal current INom Obj. of the protected object (motor,
transformer, cable) is used as the basic current for overload protection. By means of the thermal consistently
permissible current Imax, a factor kprim can be calculated:
The thermally-permissible continuous current for the equipment being protected is known from the manufac-
turers specifications. This function is normally not applicable to overhead lines since the current capability of
overhead lines is generally not specified. For cables, the permissible continuous current is dependent on the
cross-section, insulating material, design, and the cable routing, among other things. It may be taken from per-
tinent tables, or is specified by the cable manufacturer. If no specifications are available, a value of 1.1 times
the nominal current rating may be assumed.
For the 49 K-FACTOR to be set in the device the following applies (address 4202)
with
Time Constant
The overload protection tracks overtemperature progression, employing a thermal differential equation whose
steady state solution is an exponential function. The TIME CONSTANT τth (set at address 4203) is used in the
calculation to determine the threshold of overtemperature and thus, the tripping temperature.
For cable protection, the heat-gain time constant τ is determined by cable specifications and by the cable en-
vironment. If no time-constant specification is available, it may be determined from the short-term load capa-
bility of the cable. The 1-sec current, i.e. the maximum current permissible for a one-second period of time, is
often known or available from tables. Then, the time constant may be calculated with the formula:
If the short-term load capability is given for an interval other than one second, the corresponding short-term
current is used in the above formula instead of the 1-second current, and the result is multiplied by the given
duration. For example, if the 0.5-second current rating is known:
It is important to note, however, that the longer the effective duration, the less accurate the result.
Thus results:
Warning Elements
By setting the thermal warning element 49 Θ ALARM (adress 4204), a warning message can be issued before
reaching the tripping temperature. Tripping can thus be avoided by initiating early load reduction measures.
This warning element simultaneously represents the dropout level for the trip signal. Only when this threshold
is undershot, will the tripping command be reset and the protected equipment can be switched on again.
A current warning level is also available (parameter 4205 I ALARM). The setting is in secondary amperes and
should be equal to or slightly less than the permissible current k IN sec .. It can be used instead of the thermal
warning element by setting the thermal warning element to 100 % thus virtually disabling it
If no distinguishing of the time constants is necessary (e.g. externally-cooled motors, cables, lines, etc.) the
Kτ-FACTOR is set at 1 (default setting value).
The dropout time to be entered at address 4208 T EMERGENCY must ensure that after an emergency startup
and after dropout of the binary input „>EmergencyStart“ the trip command is blocked until the thermal
replica is below the dropout threshold again.
The specifications made up to now are sufficient to model the overtemperature. The ambient or coolant tem-
perature, however, can also be processed. This has to be communicated to the device as digitalized measured
value via the interface. During configuration, parameter 142 49 must be set to With amb. temp..
If the ambient temperature detection is used, the user must be aware that the 49 K-FACTOR to be set refers
to an ambient temperature of 104° F or 40° C, i.e. it corresponds to the maximum permissible current at a tem-
perature of 104° F or 40° C.
Since all calculations are performed with standardized quantities, the ambient temperature must also be stan-
dardized. The temperature at nominal current is used as standardized quantity. If the nominal current deviates
from the nominal CT current, the temperature must be adapted according to the formula following. In address
4209 or 4210 49 TEMP. RISE I the temperature adapted to the nominal transformer current is set. This
setting value is used as standardization quantity for the ambient temperature input.
with
ΘNomsec Machine temperatur at secondary nominal current = setting at the protection device (address
4209 or 4210)
If the temperature input is used, the tripping times change if the coolant temperature deviates from the internal
reference temperature of 104° F or 40° C. The following formula can be used to calculate the tripping time:
with
Example:
The motor starting is detected when setting I MOTOR START at address 1107 is exceeded. Information on
how to perform the configuration is given under "Recognition of Running Condition (only for motors)" in
Subsection2.1.3.2.
2.7.3 Settings
Addresses which have an appended "A" can only be changed with DIGSI, under "Display Additional Settings".
The table indicates region-specific default settings. Column C (configuration) indicates the corresponding sec-
ondary nominal current of the current transformer.
The device is equipped with extensive monitoring capabilities - both for hardware and software. In addition, the
measured values are also constantly monitored for plausibility, therefore, the current transformer and voltage
transformer circuits are largely integrated into the monitoring.
2.8.1.1 General
The device monitoring extends from the measuring inputs to the binary outputs. Monitoring checks the hard-
ware for malfunctions and impermissible conditions.
Hardware and software monitoring described in the following are enabled continuously. Settings (including the
possibility to activate and deactivate the monitoring function) refer to monitoring of external transformers cir-
cuits.
The processor voltage of 5 V DC is monitored by the hardware since the processor will no longer be functional
if the voltage falls below the minimum value. In that case, the device is put out of operation. When the supply
voltage returns, the processor system is restarted.
Failure of or switching off the supply voltage removes the device from operation and a message is immediately
generated by a normally closed contact. Brief auxiliary voltage interruptions of less than 50 ms do not disturb
the readiness of the device (for nominal auxiliary voltage > 110 VDC).
The processor monitors the offset and reference voltage of the ADC (analog-digital converter). The protection
is suspended if the voltages deviate outside an allowable range, and lengthy deviations are reported.
Buffer Battery
The buffer battery, which ensures operation of the internal clock and storage of counters and messages if the
auxiliary voltage fails, is periodically checked for charge status. If it is less than an allowed minimum voltage,
then the „Fail Battery“ message is issued.
Memory Components
All working memories (RAMs) are checked during startup. If a malfunction occurs then, the starting sequence
is interrupted and an LED blinks. During operation the memories are checked with the help of their checksum.
For the program memory, the cross sum is formed cyclically and compared to the stored program cross sum.
For the settings memory, the cross sum is formed cyclically and compared to the cross sum that is freshly gen-
erated each time a setting process takes place.
Scanning
Scanning and the synchronization between the internal buffer components are constantly monitored. If any de-
viations cannot be removed by renewed synchronization, then the processor system is restarted.
The monitoring of the device-internal measured-value acquisition of the currents can be effected via the current
sum monitoring.
Up to four input currents are measured by the device. If the three phase currents and the ground current from
the current transformer starpoint are connected with the device, the sum of the four digitized currents must be
zero. This also applies in the event of a possible transformer saturation. For that reason – in order to eliminate
pickup upon transformer saturation – this function is only available in a Holmgreen-connection (see also
2.1.3.2). Faults in the current circuits are recognized if
Σ I THRESHOLD8106 and Σ I FACTOR 8107 are programmable settings. The component Σ I FACTOR ·
Imax takes into account the permissible current proportional ratio errors of the input transformer which are par-
ticularly prevalent during large short-circuit currents (Figure 2-41). The dropout ratio is about 97%.
An error in the current sum results in the message „Failure Σ I“ (No. 162) and blocking of the protection
function. Furthermore, a fault log is initiated for a period of 100 ms.
The following logic diagram illustrates the operational mode of the current sum monitoring.
AD Transformer Monitoring
The digitized sampled values are being monitored in respect of their plausibility. If the result is not plausible,
message 181 „Error A/D-conv.“ is issued. The protection is blocked, thus preventing unwanted operation.
Furthermore, a fault record is generated for recording of the internal fault.
Watchdog
For continuous monitoring of the program sequences, a time monitor is provided in the hardware (hardware
watchdog) that expires upon failure of the processor or an internal program, and causes a complete restart of
the processor system.
An additional software watchdog ensures that malfunctions during the processing of programs are discovered.
This also initiates a restart of the processor system.
If such a malfunction is not cleared by the restart, an additional restart attempt is begun. After three unsuccess-
ful restarts within a 30 second window of time, the device automatically removes itself from service and the red
„Error“ LED lights up. The readiness relay drops out and indicates „device malfunction“ with its normally closed
contact.
Offset Monitoring
This monitoring function checks all ring buffer data channels for corrupt offset replication of the analog/digital
transformers and the analog input paths using offset filters. Any possible offset errors are detected using DC
voltage filters and the associated samples are corrected up to a specific limit. If this limit is exceeded, an an-
nunciation is issued (191 „Error Offset“) that is part of the warn group annunciation (annunciation 160).
As increased offset values affect the reliability of measurements taken, we recommend to send the device to
the OEM plant for corrective action if this annunciation continuously occurs.
Interruptions or short-circuits in the secondary circuits of the current and voltage transformers, as well as faults
in the connections ( important for commissioning), are detected and reported by the device. The measured
quantities are cyclically checked in the background for this purpose, as long as no system fault is present.
Current Symmetry
During normal system operation, a certain symmetry among the input currents is expected. The monitoring of
the measured values in the device checks this balance. The smallest phase current is compared to the largest
phase current. Asymmetry is detected if | Imin | / | Imax | < BAL. FACTOR I as long as Imax / INom > BALANCE
I LIMIT / INom.
Thereby Imax is the largest of the three phase currents and Imin the smallest. The symmetry factor BAL.
FACTOR I (address 8105) represents the allowable asymmetry of the phase currents while the limit value
8105 (address 8104) is the lower limit of the operating range of this monitoring (see Figure 2-43). Both param-
eters can be set. The dropout ratio is about 97%.
Phase Sequence
To detect swapped phase connections in the current input circuits, the direction of rotation of the phase currents
is checked. Therefore the sequence of the zero crossings of the currents (having the same sign) is checked.
For abnormal phase sequence, the message „Fail Ph. Seq. I“ is issued.
For applications in which an opposite phase sequence is expected, the protective relay should be adjusted via
a binary input or the respective parameter PHASE SEQ. (address 209). If the phase sequence is changed in
the device, phases B and C internal to the relay are reversed, and the positive and negative sequence currents
are thereby exchanged (see also Section 2.15.2). The phase-related messages, malfunction values, and mea-
sured values are not affected by this.
The sensitivity of measured value monitor can be modified. Default values are set at the factory, which are suf-
ficient in most cases. If an extremely high operational unbalance of the currents is to be expected in the specific
application, or if during operation monitoring functions are operated sporadically, the relevant parameters
should be set less sensitive.
Address 8104 BALANCE I LIMIT determines the limit current, above which the current symmetry monitor is
effective. Address 8105 BAL. FACTOR I is the associated symmetry factor; that is, the slope of the symmetry
characteristic curve.
Address 8106 Σ I THRESHOLD determines the limit current, above which the current sum monitor is activated
(absolute portion, only relative to INom). The relative portion (relative to the maximum conductor current) for ac-
tivating the current sum monitor is set at address 8107 Σ I FACTOR.
Note
Current sum monitoring can operate properly only when the residual current of the protected line is fed to the
fourth current input (IN) of the relay (see Power System Data 1). Furthermore, the fourth current input (IN)
may not be sensitive.
Note
The connections of the ground paths and their adaption factors were set when configuring the general Power
System Data. These settings must be correct for the measured values monitoring to function properly.
Measured value monitoring can be turned ON or OFF at address 8101 MEASURE. SUPERV.
2.8.1.6 Settings
The table indicates region-specific default settings. Column C (configuration) indicates the corresponding sec-
ondary nominal current of the current transformer.
Devices 7SJ61 are equipped with an integrated trip circuit supervision. Depending on the number of available
binary inputs (not connected to a common potential), supervision with one or two binary inputs can be selected.
If the allocation of the required binary inputs does not match the selected supervision type, then a message to
this effect is generated („74TC ProgFail“).
Applications
• When using two binary inputs, malfunctions in the trip circuit can be detected under all circuit breaker con-
ditions.
• When only one binary input is used, malfunctions in the circuit breaker itself cannot be detected.
Prerequisites
A requirement for the use of trip circuit supervision is that the control voltage for the circuit breaker is at least
twice the voltage drop across the binary input (Vct > 2 · VBImin).
Since at least 19 V are needed for the binary input, the supervision can only be used with a system control
voltage of over 38 V.
2.8.2.1 Description
When using two binary inputs, these are connected according to Figure 2-44, parallel to the associated trip
contact on one side, and parallel to the circuit breaker auxiliary contacts on the other.
Figure 2-44 Principle of the trip circuit supervision with two binary inputs
Supervision with two binary inputs not only detects interruptions in the trip circuit and loss of control voltage, it
also supervises the response of the circuit breaker using the position of the circuit breaker auxiliary contacts.
Depending on the conditions of the trip contact and the circuit breaker, the binary inputs are activated (logical
condition "H" in Table 2-5), or not activated (logical condition "L").
In healthy trip circuits the condition that both binary inputs are not actuated (”L") is only possible during a short
transition period (trip contact is closed but the circuit breaker has not yet opened). A continuous state of this
condition is only possible when the trip circuit has been interrupted, a short-circuit exists in the trip circuit, a loss
of battery voltage occurs, or malfunctions occur with the circuit breaker mechanism. Therefore, it is used as
supervision criterion.

2 Open Open Open Closed H H
3 Closed Closed Closed Open L L
4 Closed Open Open Closed L H
The conditions of the two binary inputs are checked periodically. A check takes place about every 600 ms. If
three consecutive conditional checks detect an abnormality (after 1.8 s), an annunciation is reported (see
Figure 2-45). The repeated measurements determine the delay of the alarm message and avoid that an alarm
is output during short transition periods. After the malfunction in the trip circuit is cleared, the fault annunciation
is reset automatically after the same time period.
Figure 2-45 Logic diagram of the trip circuit supervision with two binary inputs
The binary input is connected according to the following figure in parallel with the associated trip contact of the
protection relay. The circuit breaker auxiliary contact is bridged with a bypass resistor R.
During normal operation, the binary input is activated (logical condition "H") when the trip contact is open and
the trip circuit is intact, because the monitoring circuit is closed by either the 52a circuit breaker auxiliary contact
(if the circuit breaker is closed) or through the bypass resistor R by the 52b circuit breaker auxiliary contact.
Only as long as the trip contact is closed, the binary input is short circuited and thereby deactivated (logical
condition "L").
If the binary input is continuously deactivated during operation, this leads to the conclusion that there is an in-
terruption in the trip circuit or loss of control voltage.
As the trip circuit supervision does not operate during system faults, the closed trip contact does not lead to a
fault message. If, however, tripping contacts from other devices operate in parallel with the trip circuit, then the
fault message must be delayed (see also Figure 2-47). The delay time can be set via parameter 8202 Alarm
Delay. A message is only released after expiry of this time. After clearance of the fault in the trip circuit, the
fault message is automatically reset.
Figure 2-47 Logic diagram of trip circuit supervision with one binary input
The following figure shows the logic diagram for the message that can be generated by the trip circuit monitor,
depending on the control settings and binary inputs.
General
The function is only effective and accessible if address 182 (Section 2.1.1.2) was set to either 2 Binary
Inputs or 1 Binary Input during configuration, the appropriate number of binary inputs has been config-
ured accordingly for this purpose and the function FCT 74TC is ON at address 8201. If the allocation of the
required binary inputs does not match the selected supervision type, a message to this effect is generated
(„74TC ProgFail“). If the trip circuit monitor is not to be used at all, then Disabled is set at address 182.
In order to ensure that the longest possible duration of a trip command can be reliably bridged, and an indica-
tion is generated in case of an actual fault in the trip circuit, the indication regarding a trip circuit interruption is
delayed. The time delay is set under address 8202 Alarm Delay.
Note: When using only one binary input (BI) for the trip circuit monitor, malfunctions, such as interruption of the
trip circuit or loss of battery voltage are detected in general, but trip circuit failures while a trip command is active
cannot be detected. Therefore, the measurement must take place over a period of time that bridges the longest
possible duration of a closed trip contact. This is ensured by the fixed number of measurement repetitions and
the time between the state checks.
When using only one binary input, a resistor R is inserted into the circuit on the system side, instead of the
missing second binary input. Through appropriate sizing of the resistor and depending on the system condi-
tions, a lower control voltage is mostly sufficient.
Information for dimensioning resistor R is given in the Chapter "Installation and Commissioning" under Config-
uration Notes in the Section "Trip Circuit Supervision".
2.8.2.3 Settings
2.8.3.1 Description
Malfunction Responses
Depending on the type of malfunction discovered, an annunciation is sent, a restart of the processor system is
initiated, or the device is taken out of service. After three unsuccessful restart attempts, the device is taken out
of service. The operational readiness NC contact operates to indicate the device is malfunctioning. Also, the
red LED ”ERROR" lights up on the front cover, if the internal auxiliary voltage is present, and the green ”RUN"
LED goes out. If the internal auxiliary voltage fails, all LEDs are dark. Table 2-6 provides a summary of the mon-
itoring functions and the malfunction responses of the relay.
Group Alarms
Certain messages of the monitoring functions are already combined to group alarms. A listing of the group
alarms and their composition is given in the Appendix A.10. In this case, it must be noted that message 160
„Alarm Sum Event“ is only issued when the measured value monitoring functions (8101 MEASURE.
SUPERV) are activated.
Depending on the variant, the fourth current input of the multi-functional protection relays 7SJ61 is equipped
either with a sensitive input transformer or a standard transformer for 1/5 A.
In the first case, the protective function is designed for ground fault detection in isolated or compensated
systems due to its high sensitivity. It is not really suited for ground fault detection with large ground currents
since the linear range is transcended at about 1.5 A at the sensitive ground fault detection relay terminals.
If the relay is equipped with standard transformers for 1/5 A, also large currents can be detected correctly.
Applications
• Sensitive ground fault detection may be used in isolated or compensated systems to detect ground faults.
• In solidly or low-resistance grounded systems, sensitive ground fault detection is used to detect high imped-
ance ground faults.
• This function can also be used as supplementary ground fault protection.
The current elements for ground faults operate with the magnitudes of the ground current. They only make
sense where the magnitude of the ground current can be used to specify the ground fault. This may be the case
on grounded systems (solid or low-resistance) or on electrical machines which are directly connected to the
busbar of an isolated power system, when in case of a network ground fault the machine supplies only a neg-
ligible ground fault current across the measurement location, which must be situated between the machine ter-
minals and the network, whereas in case of a machine ground fault the higher ground fault current produced
by the total network is available. Ground current protection is mostly used as backup protection for high resis-
tance ground faults in solid or low resistance grounded systems when main fault protection does not pickup.
For ground fault detection, a two-step current/time characteristic can be set. Analogously to the time overcur-
rent protection, the high-set current element is designated as 50Ns-2 PICKUP and 50Ns-2 DELAY and is
provided with a definite time characteristic. The overcurrent element may be operated with either a definite time
delay (50Ns-1 PICKUP and 50Ns-1 DELAY) or with a user-defined characteristic (51Ns PICKUP and
51NsTIME DIAL). Additionally, a current element with logarithmic inverse characteristic or logarithmic inverse
characteristic with knee point is implemented. The characteristics of these current elements can be configured.
The pickup can be stabilized for ground fault protection with definite time curve by a settable dropout time. This
facility is used in power systems with intermittent faults. Used together with electromechanical relays, it allows
different dropout responses to be adjusted and time grading of digital and electromechanical relays to be im-
plemented.
2.9.2 Logic
The following figure illustrates a state logic of the sensitive ground fault protection. The ground fault detection
can be turned ON or (address 3101). When ground fault protection is ON, tripping is possible. The entire func-
tion may be blocked via binary input. Switching off or blocking means the measurement logic shown in Figure
2-50 is deactivated. Therefore, time delays and pickup messages are reset.
All elements can be blocked individually via binary inputs. In this case, pickups are still reported but tripping is
prevented because the time stages are blocked.
The pickup of the definite time overcurrent protection can be stabilized by the configurable dropout time 3121
50Ns T DROP-OUT. This time is started and maintains the pickup condition if the current falls below the thresh-
old. Therefore, the function does not drop out at high speed. The trip command delay time continues running.
After the dropout delay time has elapsed, the pickup is reported OFF and the trip delay time is reset unless the
threshold has been exceeded again. If the threshold is exceeded again during the dropout delay time, the time
is cancelled. The trip command delay time continues running. If the threshold value is exceeded after its expiry,
the trip command is issued immediately. If the threshold value is not exceeded at this time, there is no reaction.
If the threshold value is exceeded again after expiry of the trip-command delay time, while the dropout delay
time is still running, tripping occurs immediately.
General Settings
The operating mode of the protective function is configured at address 131 Sens. Gnd Fault (see Section
2.1.1). If address Sens. Gnd Fault = Definite Time, then only the settings for the definite-time elements
are available. If the setting is Sens. Gnd Fault = Log. inverse A, a logarithmic inverse characteristic is
available. If the setting is Sens. Gnd Fault = Log. Inverse B, a logarithmic inverse characteristic with
knee point is active. Alternatively, user-defined characteristic can be used when setting Sens. Gnd Fault =
User Defined PU. The superimposed high-set element 50Ns-2 is available in all these cases. If the function
is not required, Disabled is set.
Sensitive ground fault detection may be switched ON or OFF or to Alarm Only in address 3101 Sens. Gnd
Fault. If sensitive ground fault protection is switched ON, both tripping and message reporting is possible.
A two-stage current/time characteristic may be set at addresses 3113 through 3120. These elements operate
with the ground current magnitude. They only make sense where the magnitude of the ground current can be
used to specify the ground fault. This may be the case on grounded systems (solid or low-resistant) or on elec-
trical machines which are directly connected to the busbar of an ungrounded power system, when in case of a
network ground fault the machine supplies only a negligible ground fault current across the measurement lo-
cation, which must be situated between the machine terminals and the network, whereas in case of a machine
ground fault the total ground fault current produced by the total network is available.
Similar to the time overcurrent protection function the high set element is named 50Ns-2 PICKUP (address
3113). It is delayed with 50Ns-2 DELAY (address 3114) and may be set to generate a message or to trip. The
latter is only possible if address 3101 Sens. Gnd Fault is set to ON.
The definite tripping characteristic 50Ns-1 is set with addresses 3117 and 3118 (address 131 Sens. Gnd
Fault = Definite Time).
Pickup of the definite time elements can be stabilized by means of a configurable dropout time. This dropout
time is set in 3121 50Ns T DROP-OUT.
The inverse tripping characteristic 51N-TOC is set with addresses 3119 and 3120 (address 131 Sens. Gnd
Fault = User Defined PU).
The logarithmic inverse characteristic (see Figure 2-51) is set in parameters 3119 51Ns PICKUP, 3141 51Ns
Tmax, 3140 51Ns Tmin, 3142 51Ns TIME DIAL and 3143 51Ns Startpoint. 51Ns Tmin and 51Ns
Tmax define the tripping time range. The slope of the curve is defined by 3142 51Ns TIME DIAL. 51Ns
PICKUP is the reference value for all current values with 51Ns Startpoint representing the beginning of the
curve, i.e. the lower operating range on the current axis (referred to 51Ns PICKUP). This factor is preset to the
value 1.1, analogously to the other inverse time curves. This factor can also be set to 1.0 since in logarithmic
inverse curves the tripping time on a current value, which is identical to the specified pickup threshold, does
not go towards infinity, but has a finite time value.

Note: For I/51Ns PICKUP > 35 the time applies for I/51Ns PICKUP = 35
The logarithmic inverse curve with knee point (see figure 2-52) is set with the parameters 3119 51Ns PICKUP,
3127 51Ns I T min, 3128 51Ns I T knee, 3132 51Ns TD, 3140 51Ns T min and 3141 51Ns T max.
51Ns T min and 51Ns T max determine the tripping time range with 51Ns T max of the current threshold
51Ns PICKUP and 51Ns T min of the current threshold 51Ns I T min assigned. When configuring the
knee point time 51Ns T knee, the tripping time is determined at transition of the two curve sections with dif-
ferent slopes. The point of transition is defined by the current threshold 51Ns I T knee. 51Ns PICKUP rep-
resents the minimum pickup limit for the ground fault pickup current of the overcurrent element. After a
maximum secondary current of 1.4 A has been reached, the tripping time assumes a constant value. Parameter
51Ns TD serves as a time multiplier for multiplication of the tripping time.

inverse characteristic with knee point (example for 51Ns = 0.004 A)
If a user-defined characteristic is configured at address 131, Sens. Gnd Fault User Defined PU, it should
be noted that there is a safety factor of 1.1 between pickup and setting value - as is standard for inverse curves.
This means that pickup will only be initiated when current of 1.1 times the setting value flows.
Entry of the value pair (current and time) is a multiple of the settings at addresses 3119 51Ns PICKUP and
3120 51NsTIME DIAL. Therefore, it is recommended that these addresses are initially set to 1.00 for simplic-
ity. Once the curve is entered, the settings at addresses 3119 and/or 3120 may be modified if necessary.
The default setting of current values is ∞. They are, therefore, not enabled — and no pickup or tripping of these
protective functions will occur.
Up to 20 pairs of values (current and time) may be entered at address 3131 M.of PU TD. The device then
approximates the characteristic, using linear interpolation.

In devices with sensitive ground fault input, which is independent of the nominal current rating of the device,
settings may in general also be entered as primary values under consideration of the current transformer ratio.
However, problems related to the resolution of the pickup currents can occur when very small settings and
small nominal primary currents are given. The user is therefore encouraged to enter settings for the sensitive
ground fault detection in secondary values.

ondary nominal current of the current transformer.
A typical characteristic of intermittent ground faults is that they often disappear automatically to strike again
after some time. They can last between a few milliseconds and several seconds. This is why such faults are
not detected at all or not selectively by the ordinary time overcurrent protection. If pulse durations are extremely
short, not all protection devices in a short-circuit path may pick up; selective tripping is thus not ensured.
Due to the time delay of the overcurrent protection function such faults are too short to initiate shutdown of the
faulted cable. Only when they have become permanent such ground faults can be removed selectively by the
short-circuit protection.
But such intermittent ground faults already bear the risk of causing thermal damage to equipment. This is why
devices 7SJ61 feature a protective function that is able to detect such intermittent ground faults and accumu-
lates their duration. If the sum reaches a configurable value within a certain time, the limit of the thermal load
capacity has been reached. If the ground faults are distributed over a long period of time or if the ground fault
goes off and does not re-ignite after some time, the equipment under load is expected to cool down. Tripping
is not necessary in this case.
Applications
• Protection from intermittent ground faults which occur, e.g. in cables due to poor insulation or water ingress
in cable joints.
2.10.1 Description
The intermittent ground fault can either be detected via the ordinary ground current input (IN), the sensitive
ground current input (INS), or it is calculated from the sum of the three phase currents (3 I0). Unlike the over-
current protection which uses the fundamental wave, the intermittent ground fault protection creates the r.m.s.
value of this current and compares it to a settable threshold Iie>. This method accounts for higher order har-
monics contents (up to 400 Hz) and for the direct component since both factors contribute to the thermal load.
Pickup/Tripping
If the pickup threshold value Iie> is exceeded, the pickup message („IIE Fault det“, see Figure 2-54) is
issued. The pickups are also counted; as soon as the counter content has reached the value of parameter
Nos.det., the message „Intermitt.EF“ is issued. A stabilized pickup is obtained by prolonging the pickup
message „IIE Fault det“ by a settable time T-det.ext.. This stabilization is especially important for the
coordination with existing static or electromechanical overcurrent relays.
The duration of the stabilized pickups „IIE stab.Flt“ is summated with an integrator T-sum det.. If the
accumulated pickup time reaches a settable threshold value, a corresponding message is generated („IEF
Tsum exp.“). Tripping takes place, however, only while a ground fault is present (message „IEF Trip“).
The trip command is maintained during the entire minimum tripping time specified for the device, even if the
ground fault is of short duration. After completion of the tripping command all memories are reset and the pro-
tection resumes normal condition.
The (much longer) resetting time T-reset (message „IEF Tres run.“) is launched simultaneously with
T-sum det. when a ground fault occurs. Unlike T-sum det., each new ground fault resets this time to its
initial value and it expires anew. If T-reset expires and no new ground fault is recorded during that time, all
memories are reset and the protection resumes normal position. T-reset thus determines the time during
which the next ground fault must occur to be processed yet as intermittent ground fault in connection with the
previous fault. A ground fault that occurs later will be considered a new fault event.
The message „IIE Fault det“ will be entered in the fault log and reported to the system interface only until
the message „Intermitt.EF“ is issued. This prevents a burst of messages. If the message is allocated to
an LED or a relay, this limitation does not apply. This is accomplished by doubling the message (message
numbers 6924, 6926).
Automatic reclosure is not an effective measure against intermittent ground faults as the function only trips after
repeated detection of a fault or after expiration of the summation monitoring time T-sum det. and besides
this, its basic design is to prevent thermal overload. For these reasons, the intermittent ground fault protection
is not implemented as starting feature of the automatic reclosing function.
A pickup that is present when the time delay TRIP-Timer has expired is interpreted by the breaker failure pro-
tection as a criterion for a tripping failure. Since permanent pickup is not ensured after a tripping command by
the intermittent ground fault protection, cooperation with the breaker failure protection is not sensible. There-
fore, this function is not activated by the intermittent ground fault protection.
Logic Diagram
The following figure shows the logic diagram for the intermittent ground fault protection function.
Figure 2-54 Logic diagram of the intermittent ground fault protection – principle
Fault Logging
A fault event and thus fault logging is initiated when the non-stabilized IiE element picks up for the first time. A
message „IIE Fault det“ is produced. The message „IIE Fault det“ is issued and entered in the
fault log (and reported to the system interface) so often until the number of pickups „IIE Fault det“ has
reached the value set for parameter Nos.det.. When this happens, the message „Intermitt.EF“ is issued
and „IIE Fault det“ is blocked for the fault log and the system interface. This method accounts for the fact
that the IiE element may also pick up for a normal short-circuit. In this case the pickup does not launch the
alarm „Intermitt.EF“.
Intermittent ground faults may cause other time overcurrent stages to pick up (e.g. 50-1, 50N-1, 50Ns-1) and
produce a burst of messages. To avoid overflow of the fault log such messages are not entered anymore in the
fault log after detection of an intermittent ground fault (message „Intermitt.EF“) unless they cause a trip-
ping command. If an intermittent ground fault has been detected, the following pickup messages of the time
overcurrent protection will still be reported without restraint (see table 2-8):
Table 2-9 shows all messages subject to a restraint mechanism avoiding a message burst during an intermittent
ground fault:
Before they are entered in the fault log (event buffer) and transmitted to the system interface or CFC, the mes-
sages of table 2-9 are buffered (starting with the first pickup message received after „Intermitt.EF“ was
signalled). The buffering does not apply for signalling to relays and LEDs as it is required by time-graded pro-
tection systems for reverse interlocking. The intermediate buffer can store a maximum of two status changes
(the most recent ones) for each message.
Buffered messages are signalled to the fault log, CFC and to the system interface with the original time flag
only when a TRIP command is initiated by a protective function other than the intermittent ground fault protec-
tion. This ascertains that a pickup, although delayed, is always signalled in association with each TRIP com-
mand.
All pickup messages, which usually do not occur during an intermittent ground fault, are not affected by this
mechanism. This includes the pickup and TRIP commands of the following protective functions:
• Breaker failure protection,
• Thermal Overload Protection.
The pickup signals of these functions will still be logged immediately. A TRIP command of one of these pro-
tective functions will cause the buffered messages to be cleared since no connection exists between tripping
function and buffered message.
A fault event is cleared when the time T-reset has expired or the TRIP command „IEF Trip“ has been
terminated.
Terminating a fault event for the intermittent ground fault protection thus is a special case. It is the time T-
reset that keeps the fault event opened and not the pickup.
General
The protection function for intermittent ground faults can only take effect and is only accessible if the current to
be evaluated (133, INTERM.EF or with Ignd) was configured in address with 3I0 with Ignd,sens..
If not required, this function is set to Disabled.
The pickup threshold (r.m.s. value) is set in address 3302 Iie>. A rather sensitive setting is possible to
respond also to short ground faults since the pickup time shortens as the current in excess of the setting in-
creases. The setting range depends on the selection of the current to be evaluated at address 133
INTERM.EF.
The pickup time can be prolonged at address 3303 T-det.ext.. This pickup stabilization is especially impor-
tant for the coordination with existing analog or electromechanical overcurrent relays. The time T-det.ext.
can also be disabled (T-det.ext. = 0).
The stabilized pickup starts the counter T-sum det.. This counter is stopped but not reset when the picked
up function drops out. Based on the last counter content the counter resumes counting when the stabilized
function picks up next. This sum of individual pickup times, which are to initiate tripping, is set at address 3304
T-sum det.. It represents one of the four selectivity criteria (pickup value Iie>, detection extension time T-
det.ext., counter T-sum det. and reset time T-reset) for coordinating the relays on adjacent feeders
and is comparable to the time grading of the time overcurrent protection. The relay in the radial network which
is closest to the intermittent fault and picks up, will have the shortest summation time T-sum det..
Figure 2-55 Example of selectivity criteria of the intermittent ground fault protection
The reset time, after which the summation is reset in healthy operation and the protection resumes normal
status, is configured to T-reset at address 3305.
Address 3306 Nos.det. specifies the number of pickups after which a ground fault is considered intermittent.
2.10.3 Settings
The table indicates region-specific default settings. Column C (configuration) indicates the corresponding sec-
ondary nominal current of the current transformer.
From experience, about 85 % of insulation faults associated with overhead lines are arc short circuits which
are temporary in nature and disappear when protection takes effect. This means that the line can be connected
again. The reconnection is accomplished after a dead time via the automatic reclosing system.
If the fault still exists after automatic reclosure (arc has not disappeared, there is a metallic fault), then the pro-
tective elements will re-trip the circuit breaker. In some systems several reclosing attempts are performed.
Applications
• The automatic reclosure system integrated in the 7SJ61 can also be controlled by an external protection
device (e.g. backup protection). For this application, an output contact from the tripping relay must be wired
to a binary input of the 7SJ61 relay.
• It is also possible to allow the relay 7SJ61 to work in conjunction with an external reclosing device.
• Since the automatic reclosing function is not applied when the 7SJ61 is used to protect generators, motors,
transformers, cables and reactors etc., it should be disabled for this application.
The 7SJ61 is equipped with an integrated three-pole, single-shot and multi-shot automatic reclosure (AR).
Figure 2-56 shows an example of a timing diagram for a successful second reclosure.
Figure 2-56 Timing diagram showing two reclosing shots, first cycle unsuccessful, second cycle successful
The following figure shows an example of a timing diagram showing for two unsuccessful reclosing shots, with
no additional reclosing of the circuit breaker.
The number of reclose commands initiated by the automatic reclosure function are counted. A statistical
counter is available for this purpose for the first and all subsequent reclosing commands.
Initiation
Initiation of the automatic reclosing function can be caused by internal protective functions or externally using
a binary input. The automatic reclosing system can be programmed such that any of the elements of Table 2-
10 can initiate (Starts 79), not initiate (No influence), or block reclosing (Stops 79):
On initiation, the automatic reclosure function is informed that a trip command was issued and the respective
reclosing program is now being executed.
The binary input messages 2715 „>Start 79 Gnd“ and 2716 „>Start 79 Ph“ for starting an automatic
reclosure program can also be activated via CFC (fast PLC task processing). Automatic reclosure can thus be
initiated via any messages (e.g. protective pickup) if address 7164 BINARY INPUT is set to Starts 79.
Action Time
The action time (address 7117) monitors the time between a device pickup and the trip command of a protec-
tive function configured as starter. The action time is launched when pickup of any function is detected, which
is set as source of the automatic reclosure program. Protection functions which are set to Alarm Only or
which in principle should not start a reclosing program do not trigger the action time.
If a protective function configured as starter initiates a trip command during the action time, the automatic re-
closure program is started. Trip commands of a protective function configured as starter occurring in the time
between expiration of the action time and dropout of the device pickup cause the dynamic blocking of the au-
tomatic reclosing program. Trip commands of protective functions which are not configured as starter do not
affect the action time.
If the automatic reclosure program interacts with an external protection device, the general device pickup for
starting the operating time is communicated to the automatic reclosing program via binary input 2711 „>79
Start“.
After start of the auto-reclose function, the dead time start can be delayed by pickup of the binary input
message 2754 „>79 DT St.Delay“. The dead time is not initiated as long as the binary input is active. Start
occurs only on cleared binary input. The delay of the dead time start can be monitored via parameter 7118 T
DEAD DELAY. If the time elapses and the binary input is still active, the Automatic Reclosing System 79
changes to the status of the dynamic blocking via (2785 „79 DynBlock“). The maximum time delay of the
dead time start is logged by message 2753 „79 DT delay ex.“.
Reclosing Programs
Depending on the type of fault, two different reclosing programs can be used. Here the following applies:
• The single phase fault (ground fault) reclosing program applies if all fault protection functions that initiate
automatic reclosure detected a phase-to-ground fault. The following conditions must apply: only one phase,
only one phase and ground or only ground have picked up. This program can also be started via a binary
input.
• The multiple phase fault (phase fault) reclosing program applies to all other cases. That is, when elements
associated with two or more phases pick up, with or without the pickup of ground elements, such as negative
sequence elements. This program can be started via a binary input as well.
The reclosure program evaluates only elements during pick up as elements dropping out may corrupt the result
if they drop out at different times when opening the circuit breaker. Therefore, the ground fault reclosure
program is executed only when the elements associated with one particular phase pick up until the circuit
breaker is opened; all others conditions will initiate the phase fault program.
For each of the programs, up to 9 reclosing attempts can be separately programmed. The first four reclosing
attempts can be set differently for each of the two reclosing programs. The fifth and preceding automatic reclo-
sures will correspond to the fourth dead time.
For the automatic reclosure sequence to be successful, faults on any part of the line must be cleared from the
feeding line end(s) within the same – shortest possible – time. Usually, therefore, an instantaneous protection
element is set to operate before an automatic reclosure. Fast fault termination has thus priority over selectivity
aspects as the reclosing action aims at maintaining normal system operation. For this purpose all protective
functions which can initiate the automatic reclosure function are set in such manner that they may trip instan-
taneously or with a very small time delay before auto-reclosure.
With the final reclosing attempt, i.e. when no automatic reclosing is expected, protection is to trip with delay
according to the grading coordination chart of the system, since selectivity has priority.For details see also in-
formation at margin heading "Interaction with the Automatic Reclosing Function" which can be found with the
setting notes of the overcurrent protection functions and the functional description of the intermittent ground
fault protection.
Single-shot Reclosing
When a trip signal is programmed to initiate the auto-reclosure, the appropriate automatic reclosing program
will be executed. Once the circuit breaker has opened, a dead time interval in accordance with the type of fault
is started (see also margin heading "Reclosing Programs"). Once the dead time interval has elapsed, a closing
signal is issued to reclose the circuit breaker. A blocking time interval TIME RESTRAINT is started at the same
time. Within this restraint time it is checked whether the automatic reclosure was performed successfully. If a
new fault occurs before the restraint time elapses, the automatic reclosing system is dynamically blocked
causing the final tripping of the circuit breaker. The dead time can be set individually for each of the two reclos-
ing programs.
Criteria for opening the circuit breaker may either be the auxiliary contacts of the circuit breaker or the dropout
of the general device pickup if auxiliary contacts are not configured.
If the fault is cleared (successful reclosing attempt), the blocking time expires and automatic reclosing is reset
in anticipation of a future fault. The fault is terminated.
If the fault has not been cleared (unsuccessful reclosing attempt), then a final trip signal is initiated by one or
more protective elements.
Multi-shot Reclosing
7SJ61 permits up to 9 reclosings. The number can be set differently for the phase fault reclosing program and
the ground fault reclosing program.
The first reclose cycle is, in principle, the same as the single-shot auto-reclosing. If the first reclosing attempt
is unsuccessful, this does not result in a final trip, but in a reset of the restraint time interval and start of the next
reclose cycle with the next dead time. This can be repeated until the set number of reclosing attempts for the
corresponding reclose program has been reached.
The dead time intervals preceding the first four reclosing attempts can be set differently for each of the two
reclosing programs. The dead time intervals preceding the fifth reclosing attempts will be equal to the dead time
interval that precedes the fourth reclosing attempt.
If one of the reclosing attempts is successful, i.e. the fault disappeared after reclosure, the restraint time expires
and the automatic reclosing system is reset. The fault is cleared.
If none of the reclosing attempts is successful, then a final circuit breaker trip (according to the grading coordi-
nation chart) will take place after the last allowable reclosing attempt has been performed by the protection
function. All reclosing attempts were unsuccessful.
After the final circuit breaker tripping, the automatic reclosing system is dynamically blocked (see below).
Blocking Time
The function of the blocking time has already been described under section "Single-/Multi-Shot Reclosing". The
blocking time can be prolonged if the following conditions have been fulfilled.
The time 211 TMax CLOSE CMD defines the maximum time during which a close command can apply. If a new
trip command occurs before this time has run out, the close command will be aborted. If the time TMax CLOSE
CMD is set longer than the restraint time TIME RESTRAINT, the restraint time will be extended to the remaining
close command duration after expiry!
A pickup from a protection function that is set to initiate the automatic reclosing system will also lead to an ex-
tension of the blocking time should it occur during this time!
2.11.2 Blocking
Static Blocking
Static blocking means that the automatic reclosing system is not ready to initiate reclosing, and cannot initiate
reclosing as long as the blocking signal is present. A corresponding message „79 is NOT ready“ (FNo.
2784) is generated. The static blocking signal is also used internally to block the protection elements that are
only supposed to work when reclosing is enabled (see also side title "Reclosing Before Selectivity" further
above).
Dynamic Blocking
Dynamic blocking of the automatic reclosing program occurs in those cases where the reclosing program is
active and one of the conditions for blocking is fulfilled. The dynamic blocking is signaled by the message „79
DynBlock“. The dynamic blocking is associated with the configurable blocking time SAFETY 79 ready. This
blocking time is usually started by a blocking condition that has been fulfilled. After the blocking time has
elapsed, the device checks whether or not the blocking condition can be reset. If the blocking condition is still
present or if a new blocking condition is fulfilled, the blocking time is restarted. If, however, the blocking condi-
tion no longer holds after the blocking time has elapsed, the dynamic blocking will be reset.
• The circuit breaker is not ready after the breaker monitoring time has elapsed, provided that the circuit
breaker check has been activated (address 7113 CHECK CB? = Chk each cycle, indicated by „79 T-
CBreadyExp“).
• The circuit breaker is not ready after maximum extension of the dead time Max. DEAD EXT.. The monitor-
ing of the circuit breaker status and the synchrocheck may cause undesired extension of the dead time. To
prevent the automatic reclosure system from assuming an undefined state, the extension of the dead time
is monitored. The extension time is started when the regular dead time has elapsed. When it has elapsed,
the automatic reclosure function is blocked dynamically and the lock-out time launched. The automatic re-
closure system resumes normal state when the lock-out time has elapsed and new blocking conditions do
not apply (indicated by „79 TdeadMax Exp“) .
• Manual closing has been detected (externally) and parameter BLOCK MC Dur. (T = 0) was set such that
the automatic reclosing system responds to manual closing,
• Via a correspondingly masked binary input (FNo. 2703 „>BLOCK 79“). If the blocking takes places while
the automatic recloser is in normal state, the latter will be blocked statically („79 is NOT ready“). The
blocking is terminated immediately when the binary input has been cleared and the automatic reclosure
function resumes normal state. If the automatic reclosure function is already running when the blocking ar-
rives, the dynamic blocking takes effect („79 DynBlock“). In this case the activation of the binary input
starts the dynamic blocking time SAFETY 79 ready. Upon its expiration the device checks if the binary
input is still activated. If this is the case, the automatic reclosure program changes from dynamic blocking to
static blocking. If the binary input is no longer active when the time has elapsed and if no new blocking con-
ditions apply, the automatic reclosure system resumes normal state.
The detection of the actual circuit breaker status is necessary for the correct functionality of the auto reclose
function. The breaker status is detected by the circuit breaker auxiliary contacts and is communicated to the
device via binary inputs 4602 „>52-b“ and 4601 „>52-a“ .
• If binary input 4602 „>52-b“ alone is allocated, the circuit breaker is considered open while the binary input
is active. If the binary input becomes active while no trip command of (any) function applies, the automatic
reclosure system will be blocked dynamically provided it is already running. Otherwise the blocking will be
a static one. The dead time is started if the binary input becomes active following the trip command of a start-
ing element. An intermediate position of the circuit breaker cannot be detected for this type of allocation.
• If neither binary input 4602 „>52-b“ nor 4601 „>52-a“ are allocated, the automatic reclosure program
cannot detect the position of the circuit breaker. In this case, the automatic reclosure system will be con-
trolled exclusively via pickups and trip commands. Monitoring for "52-b without TRIP" and starting the dead
time in dependence of the circuit breaker feedback is not possible in this case.
The time needed by the circuit breaker to perform a complete reclose cycle can be monitored by the 7SJ61.
Breaker failure is detected:
A precondition for a reclosing attempt, following a trip command initiated by a protective relay element and sub-
sequent initiation of the automatic reclosing function, is that the circuit breaker is ready for at least one TRIP-
CLOSE-TRIP cycle. The readiness of the circuit breaker is monitored by the device using a binary input „>CB
Ready“. In the case where this signal from the breaker is not available, the circuit breaker monitoring feature
should be disabled, otherwise reclosing attempts will remain blocked.
• Especially when multiple reclosing attempts are programmed, it is a good idea to monitor the circuit breaker
condition not only prior to the first but also to each reclosing attempt. A reclosing attempt will be blocked until
the binary input indicates that the circuit breaker is ready to complete another CLOSE-TRIP cycle.
• The time needed by the circuit-breaker to regain the ready state can be monitored by the 7SJ61. The mon-
itoring time CB TIME OUT expires for as long as the circuit breaker does not indicate that it is ready via
binary input „>CB Ready“ (FNo. 2730). Meaning that as the binary input „>CB Ready“ is cleared, the
monitoring time CB TIME OUT is started. If the binary input returns before the monitoring time has elapsed,
the monitoring time will be cancelled and the reclosure process is continued. If the monitoring time runs
longer than the dead time, the dead time will be extended accordingly. If the monitoring time elapses before
the circuit breaker signals its readiness, the automatic reclosure function will be blocked dynamically.
Interaction with the synchronism check may cause the dead time to extend inadmissibly. To prevent the auto-
matic reclosure function from remaining in an undefined state, dead time extension is monitored. The maximum
extension of the dead time can be set at Max. DEAD EXT.. The monitoring time Max. DEAD EXT. is started
when the regular dead time has elapsed. If the synchronism check responds before the time has elapsed, the
monitoring time will be stopped and the close command generated. If the time expires before the synchronism
check reacts, the automatic reclosure function will be blocked dynamically.
Please make sure that the above mentioned time is not shorter than the monitoring time CB TIME OUT.
The time 7114 T-Start MONITOR serves for monitoring the response of the automatic reclosure function to
a breaker failure. It is activated by a trip command arriving before or during a reclosing operation and marks
the time that passes between tripping and opening of the circuit breaker. If the time elapses, the device
assumes a breaker failure and the automatic reclosure function is blocked dynamically. If parameter T-Start
MONITOR is set to ∞, the start monitoring is disabled.
Depending on the reclosing cycle it is possible to control elements of the directional and non-directional over-
current protection by means of the automatic reclosure system (Protective Elements Control). There are three
mechanisms:
1. Time overcurrent elements may trip instantaneously depending on the automatic reclosure cycle (T = 0),
they may remain unaffected by the auto reclosing function AR (T = T) or may be blocked (T = ∞). For further
information see side title "Cyclic Control".
2. The automatic reclosing states "Auto Reclosing ready" and "Auto Reclosing not ready" can activate or de-
activate the dynamic cold load pickup function. This function is designed to influence overcurrent stages
(see also Section 2.11.6 and Section 2.3) regarding thresholds and tripping time delays.
3. The time overcurrent protection parameter 1X14A 50(N)-2 ACTIVE or 1X16A 50(N)-3 ACTIVE defines
whether the elements 50(N)-2 or 50(N)-3 are to operate always or only with "79M Auto Reclosing
ready"(see Section 2.2).
Cyclic Control
Control of the time overcurrent protection elements takes effect by releasing the cycle marked by the corre-
sponding parameter. The cycle zone release is indicated by the messages „79 1.CycZoneRel“ to „79
4.CycZoneRel“. If the automatic reclosure system is in normal state, the settings for the starting cycle apply.
These settings always take effect when the automatic reclosure system assumes normal state.
The settings are released for each following cycle when issuing the close command and starting the blocking
time. Following a successful reclosure (blocking time expired) or after returning from the blocking, the auto-
reclose function goes into normal state. Control of the protection is again assumed by the parameters for the
starting cycle.
The following figure illustrates the control of the protection elements 50-2 and 50N-2.
Example:
Before the first reclosing, faults are to be eliminated quickly applying elements 50-2 or 50N-2. Fast fault termi-
nation thus has priority over selectivity aspects as the reclosing action aims at maintaining normal system op-
eration. If the fault prevails, a second tripping is to take place instantaneously and subsequently, a second re-
closing.
After the second reclosing, however, elements 50-2 or 50N-2 are to be blocked so the fault can be eliminated
by applying elements 50-1 or 50N-1 according to the grading coordination chart of the system giving priority to
selectivity concerns.
The blocking applies only after reclosure in accordance with the set address. Hence, it is possible to specify
again other conditions for a third reclosure.
The blocking conditions are also valid for the zone sequence coordination, provided it is available and activated
(address 7140, see also margin heading "Zone Sequencing").
It is the task of the zone sequence coordination to harmonize the automatic reclosure function of this device
with that of another device that forms part of the same power system. It is a complementary function to the
automatic reclosure program and allows, for example, to perform group reclosing operations in radial systems.
In case of multiple reclosures, groups may also be in nested arrangement and further high-voltage fuses can
be overgraded or undergraded.
Zone sequencing functions by means of blocking certain protection functions depending on the reclosing cycle.
This is implemented by the protection elements control (see margin heading "Controlling Protection Ele-
ments").
As a special feature, changing from one reclosing cycle to the next is possible without trip command only via
pickup/dropout of 50-1 or 50N-1.
The following figure shows an example of a group reclosure at feeder 3. It is assumed that reclosure is per-
formed twice.
With fault F1 on feeder 5, protection devices in the infeed and on feeder 3 pick up. The time delay of the 50-2
element at protecting feeder 3 is set in such a way that the feeder 3 circuit breaker will clear the fault before the
fuse at feeder 5 is damaged. If the fault is cleared, all functions are reset after the restraint time has expired
and the fault is terminated. The fuse has therefore also been protected.
If the fault continues to exist, a second reclosing cycle is performed in the same way.
High speed element 50-2 is now being blocked at relay protecting Feeder 3. If the fault still remains, only the
50-1 element continues to be active in Feeder 3 which, however, overgrades the fuse with a time delay of 0.4
s. After the fuse operated to clear the fault, the series-connected devices drop out. If the fuse fails to clear the
fault, then the 50-1 element protecting Feeder 3 will operate as backup protection.
The 50-2 element at the busbar relay is set with a delay of 0.4 seconds, since it supposed to trip the 50-2 ele-
ments and the fuses as well. For the second reclosing, the 50-2 element also has to be blocked to give prefer-
ence to the feeder relay (50-1 element with 0.4 s). For this purpose, the device has to "know" that two reclosing
attempts have already been performed.
In this device, zone sequence coordination must be switched off: When pickup of 50-1 or 50N-1 drops out, zone
sequence coordination provokes that the reclosing attempts are counted as well. If the fault still persists after
the second reclosure, the 50-1 element, which is set to 0.9 seconds, would serve as backup protection.
For the busbar fault F2, the 50-2 element at the bus would have cleared the fault in 0.4 seconds. Zone sequenc-
ing enables the user to set a relatively short time period for the 50-2 elements. The 50-2 element is only used
as backup protection. If zone sequencing is not applied, the 50-1 element is to be used only with its relatively
long time period (0.9 s).

General Settings
The internal automatic reclosure system will only be effective and accessible if address 171 79 Auto Recl.
is set Enabled during configuration. If not required, this function is set to Disabled. The function can be
turned ON or OFF under address 7101 FCT 79.
If no automatic reclosures are performed on the feeder for which the 7SJ61 is used (e.g. cables, transformers,
motors, etc.), the automatic reclosure function is disabled by configuration. The automatic reclosure function is
then completely disabled, i.e. the automatic reclosure function is not processed in the 7SJ61. No messages
exist for this purpose and binary inputs for the automatic reclosure function are ignored. All parameters of block
71 are inaccessible and of no significance.
Parameter 7103 BLOCK MC Dur. defines the reaction of the automatic reclosure function when a manual
closing signal is detected. The parameter can be set to specify how long the auto reclose function will be
blocked dynamically in case of an external manual close-command being detected via binary input (356
„>Manual Close“). If the setting is 0, the automatic reclosure system will not respond to a manual close-
signal.
The blocking time TIME RESTRAINT (address 7105) defines the time that must elapse, after a successful re-
closing attempt, before the automatic reclosing function is reset. If a protective function configured for initiation
of the auto-reclosure function provokes a new trip before this time elapses, the next reclosing cycle is started
in case of multiple reclosures. If no further reclosure is allowed, the last reclosure will be classed as unsuccess-
ful.
In general, a few seconds are sufficient. In areas with frequent thunderstorms or storms, a shorter blocking time
may be necessary to avoid feeder lockout due to sequential lightning strikes or flashovers.
A longer restraint time should be chosen if there is no possibility to monitor the circuit breaker (see below)
during multiple reclosing (e.g. because of missing auxiliary contacts and and information on the circuit breaker
ready status). In this case, the restraint time should be longer than the time required for the circuit breaker
mechanism to be ready.
If a dynamic blocking of the automatic reclosing system was initiated, then reclosing functions remain blocked
until the cause of the blocking has been cleared. The functional description gives further information on this
topic, see marginal heading "Dynamic Blocking". The dynamic blocking is associated with the configurable
blocking time SAFETY 79 ready. Dynamic blocking time is usually started by a blocking condition that has
picked up.
Reclosing after a fault tripping presupposes that the circuit breaker is ready for at least one TRIP-CLOSE-TRIP
cycle at the time when the reclosing function is initiated (i.e. at the beginning of a trip command):
The readiness of the circuit breaker is monitored by the device using a binary input „>CB Ready“ (FNo. 2730).
• It is possible to check the status of the circuit breaker before each reclosure or to disable this option (address
7113, CHECK CB?):
CHECK CB? = No check, deactivates the circuit breaker check,
CHECK CB? = Chk each cycle, to verify the circuit breaker status before each reclosing command.
Checking the status of the circuit breaker is usually recommended. Should the breaker not provide such a
signal, you can disable the circuit breaker check at address 7113 CHECK CB? (No check), as otherwise
auto-reclosure would be impossible.
The status monitoring time CB TIME OUT can be configured at address 7115 if the circuit breaker check
was enabled at address 7113. This time is set slightly higher than the maximum recovery time of the circuit
breaker following reclosure. If the circuit breaker is not ready after the time has expired, reclosing is omitted
and dynamic blocking is initiated. Automatic reclosure thus is blocked.
Time Max. DEAD EXT. serves for monitoring the dead time extension. The extension can be initiated by the
circuit breaker monitoring time CB TIME OUT and by an external synchronism check.
The monitoring time Max. DEAD EXT. is started after the configured dead time has elapsed.
This time must not be shorter than CB TIME OUT. When using the monitoring time CB TIME OUT, the time
Max. DEAD EXT. should be set to a value ≥ CB TIME OUT.
If the auto-reclose system is operated with a synchronization function (internal or external), Max. DEAD EXT.
assures that the auto-reclose system does not remain in undefined state when the synchronism check fails to
check back.
If the synchronization is used as synchronism check (for synchronous systems), the monitoring time may be
configured quite short, e.g. to some seconds. In this case the synchronizing function merely checks the syn-
chronism of the power systems. If synchronism prevails it switches in instantaneously, otherwise it will not.
If external synchronization is used for synchronous/asynchronous networks, the monitoring time must grant
sufficient time for determining the time for switching in. This depends on the frequency slip of the two subnet-
works. A monitoring time of 100 s should be sufficient to account for most applications for asynchronous net-
works.
Generally, the monitoring time should be longer than the maximum duration of the synchronization process (pa-
rameter 6x12).
The breaker failure monitoring time 7114 T-Start MONITOR determines the time between tripping (closing
the trip contact) and opening the circuit breaker (checkback of the CB auxiliary contacts or disappearing device
pickup if no auxiliary contacts are allocated). This time is started each time a tripping operation takes place.
When time has elapsed, the device assumes breaker failure and blocks the auto-reclose system dynamically.
Action Time
The action time monitors the time between pickup of the device and trip command of a protective function con-
figured as starter while the automatic reclosing system is ready but not yet running. A trip command issued by
a protective function configured as starter occurring within the action time will start the automatic reclosing func-
tion. If this time differs from the setting value of T-ACTION (address 7117), the automatic reclosing system will
be blocked dynamically. The trip time of inverse tripping characteristics is considerably determined by the fault
location or fault resistance. The action time prevents reclosing in case of far remote or high-resistance faults
with long tripping time. Trip commands of protective functions which are not configured as starter do not affect
the action time.
The dead time start can be delayed by pickup of the binary input message 2754 „>79 DT St.Delay“. The
maximum time for this can be parameterized under 7118 T DEAD DELAY. The binary input message must be
deactivated again within this time in order to start the dead time. The exact sequence is described in the func-
tional description at margin heading "Delay of Dead Time Start".
The number of reclosing attempts can be set separately for the "phase program" (address 7136 # OF RECL.
PH) and "ground program" (address 7135 # OF RECL. GND). The exact definition of the programs is described
in the functional description at margin heading "Reclosing Programs".
Address 7137 Cmd.via control can be set to either generate directly the close command via the automatic
reclosing function (setting Cmd.via control = none) or have the closing initiated by the control function.
If the automatic reclosing system is to be close via the control function, the Manual Close command has to be
suppressed during an automatic reclose command. The example in the section 2.2.10 of a MANUAL CLOSE
for commands via the integrated control function has to be extended in this case (see Figure 2-60). The mes-
sages 2878 „79 L-N Sequence“ and 2879 „79 L-L Sequence“ indicate that the AR has been started
and wants to carry out a reclosure after the dead time. The annunciations set the flipflop and suspend the
manual signal until the AR has finished the reclosure attempts. The flipflop is reset via the OR-combination of
the annunciations 2784 „79 is NOT ready“, 2785 „79 DynBlock“ and 2862 „79 Successful“. Manual
closing is initiated if a CLOSE command comes from the control function.
Figure 2-60 CFC logic for Manual Close with automatic reclosing via control
The selection list for parameter 7137 is created dynamically depending on the allocated switchgear compo-
nents. If one of the switchgear components is selected, usually the circuit breaker „52Breaker“, reclosure is
accomplished via control. In this case, the automatic reclosure function does not create a close command but
issues a close request. It is forwarded to the control which then takes over the switching. Thus, the properties
defined for the switchgear component such as interlocking and command times apply. Hence, it is possible that
the close command will not be carried out due to an applying interlocking condition.
If this behavior is not desired, the auto-reclose function can also generate the close command „79 Close“
directly which must be allocated to the associated contact. The CFC Chart as in Figure 2-60 is not needed in
this case.
Parameter 7139 External SYNC can be set to determine that the auto-reclose function operates with exter-
nal synchrocheck. External synchronization is possible if the parameter is set to YES and 7SJ61 is linked to the
external synchrocheck via the message 2865 „79 Sync.Request“ and the binary input „>Sync.release“.
At addresses 7150 to 7167, reclosing can be initiated or blocked for various types of protection functions. They
constitute the interconnection between protection elements and auto-reclose function. Each address desig-
nates a protection function together with its ANSI synonym, e.g. 50-2 for the high-set element of the non-di-
rectional time overcurrent protection (address 7152).
Addresses 7127 and 7128 are used to determine the duration of the dead times of the 1st cycle. The time
defined by this parameter is started when the circuit breaker opens (if auxiliary contacts are allocated) or when
the pickup drops out following the trip command of a starter. Dead time before first auto-reclosure for reclosing
program "Phase" is set in address 7127 DEADTIME 1: PH, for reclosing program "ground" in address 7128
DEADTIME 1: G. The exact definition of the programs is described in the functional description at margin
heading "Reclosing Programs". The length of the dead time should relate to the type of application. With longer
lines they should be long enough to make sure that the fault arc disappears and that the air surrounding it is
de-ionized and auto-reclosure can successfully take place (usually 0.9 s to 1.5 s). For lines supplied by more
than one side, mostly system stability has priority. Since the de-energized line cannot transfer synchronizing
energy, only short dead times are allowed. Standard values are 0.3 s to 0.6 s. In radial systems longer dead
times are allowed.
Addresses 7200 to 7205 as well as 7248 and 7249 allow cyclic control of the various protection functions by
the automatic reclosing function. Thus protective elements can be blocked selectively, made to operate instan-
taneously or according to the configured delay times. The following options are available:
If more than one reclosing cycle was set, you can now configure the individual reclosing settings for the 2nd to
4th cycle. The same options are available as for the first cycle.
Address 7129 DEADTIME 2: PH Dead time for the 2nd reclosing attempt "Phase"
Address 7130 DEADTIME 2: G Dead time for the 2nd reclosing attempt "Ground"
Addresses 7212 allow cyclic control of the various protective functions by the
to 7217 2nd reclosing attempt
Address 7131 DEADTIME 3: PH Dead time for the 3rd reclosing attempt "Phase"
Address 7132 DEADTIME 3: G Dead time for the 3rd reclosing attempt "Ground"
Addresses 7224 allow cyclic control of the various protective functions by the
to 7229 3rd reclosing attempt
Address 7133 DEADTIME 4: PH Dead time for the 4th reclosing attempt "Phase"
Address 7134 DEADTIME 4: G Dead time for the 4th reclosing attempt "Ground"
Addresses 7236 allow cyclic control of the various protective functions by the
to 7241 4th reclosing attempt
If more than four cycles are configured, the dead times set for the fourth cycle also apply to the fifth through to
ninth cycle.
Regardless of which reclosing program is executed, automatic reclosing can be blocked for trips following
three-phase faults (address 7165 3Pol.PICKUP BLK). The pickup of all three phases for a specific overcur-
rent element is the criterion required.
The auto-reclose function can be blocked, if control commands are issued via the integrated control function of
the device. The information must be routed via CFC (interlocking task-level) using the CMD_Information func-
tion block (see the following figure).
Figure 2-61 Blocking of the automatic reclose function using the internal control function
Zone Sequencing
At address 7140 ZONE SEQ.COORD., the zone sequencing feature can be turned ON or OFF.
If multiple reclosures are performed and the zone sequencing function is deactivated, only those reclosing
cycles are counted which the device has conducted after a trip command. With the zone sequencing function
switched on, an additional sequence counter also counts such auto-reclosures which (in radial systems) are
carried out by relays connected on load side. This presupposes that the pickup of the 50-1/50N-1 elements
drops out without a trip command being issued by a protective function initiating the auto-reclose function. The
parameters at addresses 7200 through 7241 (see paragraph below at "Initiation and Blocking of Reclosing by
Protective Functions" and "Controlling Overcurrent Protection Stages via Cold Load Pickup") can thus be set
to determine which protective elements are active or blocked during what dead time cycles (for multiple reclos-
ing attempts carried out by relays on the load side).
In the example shown in Figure "Zone sequencing with a fault occurring at Tap Line 5 and the busbar" (see
Figure ) in the functional description, the zone sequencing was applied in the bus relay. Furthermore, as from
the second auto-reclosure the 50-2 elements (also applicable to the 50-3 elements) must be blocked, i.e.
address 7214 bef.2.Cy:50-2 must be set to blocked T=∞. The zone sequencing of the feeder relays is
switched off but the 50-2 elements must also be blocked after the second reclosing attempt. Moreover, it must
be ensured that the 50-2 elements start the automatic reclosing function: Set address 7152 50-2 to Starts
79.
The cold load pickup function is another possibility to control the protection behavior via the automatic reclosing
system (see also Section 2.3). This function contains the parameter 1702 Start Condition It determines
the starting conditions for the increased pickup values of current and time of the cold load pickup to apply for
overcurrent protection.
If address 1702 Start Condition = 79 ready, the overcurrent protection always employs the increased
setting values if the automatic reclosing system is ready. The auto-reclosure function provides the signal 79
ready for controlling the cold load pickup. The signal 79 ready is always active if the auto-reclosing system
is available, active, unblocked and ready for another cycle. Control via the cold load pickup function is not AR-
cycle-related.
Since control via cold load pickup and cyclic control via auto-reclosing system can run simultaneously, the over-
current protection must coordinate the input values of the two interfaces. In this context the cyclic auto-reclosing
control has the priority and thus overwrites the release of the cold load pickup function.
If the protective elements are controlled via the automatic reclosing function, changing the control variables
(e.g. by blocking) has no effect on elements that are already running. The elements in question are continued.
The setting options of address 7137 Cmd.via control are generated dynamically according to the current
configuration.
2.11.7 Settings
The breaker failure protection function monitors proper switchoff of the relevant circuit breaker.
2.12.1 Description
General
If after a programmable time delay, the circuit breaker has not opened, breaker failure protection issues a trip
signal via a superordinate circuit breaker (see example in the figure below).
Initiation
The breaker failure protection function can be initiated by two different sources:
• Trip signals of internal protective functions of the 7SJ61,
• external trip signals via binary inputs („>50BF ext SRC“).
For each of the two sources, a unique pickup message is generated, a unique time delay is initiated, and a
unique trip signal is generated. The setting values of current threshold and delay time apply to both sources.
Criteria
The criteria used to determine if the circuit breaker has operated is selectable and should depend on the pro-
tective function that initiated the breaker failure function. On tripping without fault current, the current below the
threshold 50BF PICKUP is not a reliable indication of the proper functioning of the circuit breaker. In such
cases, pickup exclusively depends on the auxiliary contact criterion. In protection functions based on the mea-
surement of currents (including all short-circuit protection functions), the current flow is a preferential criterion,
i.e. it is given priority, as opposed to the auxiliary contacts. If current flows above the set threshold or thresholds
(enabled w/ 3I0>) are detected, the breaker failure protection trips even if the auxiliary criterion indicates
„Breaker Open“.
Address 170 50BF can be set in such a way that either the current criterion can already be met by a single
phase current (setting Enabled) or that another current is taken into consideration in order to check the plau-
sibility (setting enabled w/ 3I0>), see Figure 2-63.
The currents are filtered through numerical filters to evaluate the fundamental harmonic. They are monitored
and compared to the set limit value. Besides the three phase currents, two further current thresholds are pro-
vided in order to allow a plausibility check. For purposes of the plausibility check, a configuration of a separate
threshold value can be applied accordingly. (see Figure 2-63).
The ground current IN (3·I0) is preferably used as plausibility current. Via the parameters 613 you decide
whether the measured (Ignd (measured)) or the calculated (3I0 (calcul.)) values are to be used. In
case of system faults not involving ground currents, no increased ground currents/residual currents are flowing,
and therefore the calculated triple negative sequence current 3·I2 or a second phase current is used as plau-
sibility current.
Evaluation of the circuit breaker's auxiliary contacts depends on the type of contacts, and how they are con-
nected to the binary inputs:
• the auxiliary contacts for circuit breaker "open" (4602 „>52-b“) and "closed" (4601 „>52-a“) are config-
ured,
• only the auxiliary contact for circuit breaker "open" is configured(4602 „>52-b“),
• only the auxiliary contact for circuit breaker "closed" is configured(4601 „>52-a“),
• none of the two auxiliary contacts is configured.
Feedback information of the auxiliary status of the circuit breaker is evaluated, depending on the allocation of
binary inputs and auxiliary contacts. After a trip command has been issued it is the aim to detect — if possible
— by means of the feedback of the circuit breaker's auxiliary contacts whether the breaker is open or in inter-
mediate position. If valid, this information can be used for a proper initiation of the breaker failure protection
function.
The logic diagram illustrates the monitoring of the circuit breaker's auxiliary contacts.
Figure 2-64 Logic diagram for breaker failure protection, monitoring of the circuit-breaker auxiliary contacts
Logic
If breaker failure protection is initiated, an alarm message is generated and a settable delay time is started. If
once the time delay has elapsed, criteria for a pickup are still met, a trip signal is issued to a superordinate
circuit breaker. Therefore, the trip signal issued by the circuit breaker failure protection is configured to one of
the output relays.
If the criteria that led to the pickup are no longer met when the time delay has elapsed, such pickup thus drops
out and no trip signal is issued by the breaker failure protection function.
To protect against nuisance tripping due to excessive contact bounce, a stabilization of the binary inputs for
external trip signals takes place. This external signal must be present during the entire period of the delay time,
otherwise the timer is reset and no trip signal is issued.
General
Breaker failure protection is only effective and accessible if address 170 50BF is set to Enabled or enabled
w/ 3I0>. Setting Enabled considers the three phase currents for total current monitoring. Setting enabled
w/ 3I0> additionally evaluates the ground current or the negative sequence system when only one phase
current occurs.
If this function is not required, then Disabled is set. The function can be set to ON or OFF under address 7001
FCT 50BF.
Criteria
Address 7004 Chk BRK CONTACT establishes whether or not a breaker auxiliary contact is used, via a binary
input, as one of the criteria for pickup. If this address is set to ON, then the current criterion and/or the auxiliary
contact criterion apply. This setting must be selected if the circuit-breaker failure protection is started by func-
tions which do not always have a certain criterion for detection of an open circuit breaker.
Time Delay
The time delay is entered at address 7005 TRIP-Timer. This setting should be based on the maximum circuit
breaker operating time plus the dropout time of the current flow monitoring element plus a safety margin which
takes into consideration the tolerance of the time delay. Figure 2-66 illustrates the time sequences.
Figure 2-66 Time sequence example for normal clearance of a fault, and with circuit breaker failure
Pickup Values
The pickup value of the current flow monitoring is set under address 7006 50BF PICKUP, and the pickup value
of the ground current monitoring under address 7007 50BF PICKUP IE>. The threshold values must be set
at a level below the minimum fault current for which the total current monitoring must operate. A setting of 10%
below the minimum fault current for which breaker failure protection must operate is recommended. The pickup
value should not be set too low since otherwise there is a risk that transients in the current transformer second-
ary circuit may lead to extended dropout times if extremely high currents are switched off.
2.12.3 Settings
The table indicates region-specific default settings. Column C (configuration) indicates the corresponding sec-
ondary nominal current of the current transformer.
The flexible protection function is a generally valid protection function, which application depends on the con-
figuration of different protection principles. A maximum of 20 flexible protection functions can be created. Each
function can be applied as an independent protection function, as an additional protection element of an already
existing protection function or as a universal logic, e.g. for monitoring tasks.
General
The function is a combination of a standard protection logic and a characteristic (measured quantity or derived
quantity) that is adjustable via parameters. The characteristics indicated in Table 2-11 and the derived protec-
tion functions are available.
The maximum 20 configurable protection functions operate independently of each other. The following descrip-
tion concerns one function; it can be applied accordingly to all other flexible functions. The logic diagram in
Figure 2-67 illustrates the description.
Function Control
The function can be switched ON or OFF. The state Alarm Only can also be enabled. In this state the pickup
will not result in a fault and the trip command delay time is not started. Tripping is thus not possible.
If changes of Power System Data 1 are effected after configuration of the flexible functions, it may be possible
that the sequence of the functions is not configured correctly. This is indicated by message (Fno. „$00
inval.set“). This function is not active in this case and the configuration of the function must be adjusted.
Blocking Functions
The function can be blocked via binary input (FNo. 235.2110 „>BLOCK $00“) via local operating terminal
(„Control“ -> „Tagging“ -> „Set“). Blocking will reset the function's entire measurement logic as well as all
running times and indications. Blocking via the local operating terminal may be useful if the function is in a
status of permanent pickup which does not allow the function to be reset.
The flexible function can be tailored to assume a specific protective function for a concrete application in pa-
rameters OPERRAT. MODE, MEAS. QUANTITY, MEAS. METHOD and PICKUP WITH. Parameter OPERRAT.
MODE can be set to specify whether the function works 3-phase, 1-phase or no reference, i.e. without a
fixed phase reference. The three-phase method evaluates all three phases in parallel. This implies that thresh-
old evaluation, pickup indications and trip time delay are accomplished selectively for each phase and parallel
to each other. This may be for example the typical operating principle of a three-phase time overcurrent pro-
tection. When operating single-phase, the function employs either a phase's measured quantity, which must
be stated explicitly, (e.g. evaluating only the current in phase Ib) or the measured ground current In. If external
trip commands are used, the operating principle is without (fixed) phase reference. Additional parameters can
be set to specify the used MEAS. QUANTITY and the MEAS. METHOD. The MEAS. METHOD determines
whether the function uses the r.m.s. value of the fundamental component or the normal r.m.s. value (true RMS)
that evaluates also harmonics. Parameter PICKUP WITH moreover specifies whether the function picks up on
exceeding the threshold (>-element) or on falling below the threshold (<-element).
Characteristic Curve
The characteristic curve of the function is always „independent“, i.e. the delay time is not influenced by the mea-
sured value.
Functional Logic
Figure 2-67 shows the logic diagram for a three-phase operating function. In case of a single-phase operating
method or without phase reference, phase-selectivity and thus the phase-specific messages are omitted.
Depending on the configuration, the set threshold value is monitored with regard to exceeding or undershoot-
ing. On exceeding the threshold value (>-element), the configured trigger delay time is started. On expiry of this
delay time and continuous exceeding of the threshold values, the picked-up phase (e.g. Fno. 235.2122 „$00
pickup A“) as well as the triggered function (Fno. 235.2121 „$00 picked up“) are reported. If the trigger
delay time is set to zero, pickup occurs together with the recognition of exceeded threshold values. If this func-
tion is enabled, the trip command delay time as well as fault recording is started on pickup. If the setting is set
to "Message only", this does not occur. If the threshold values continue to be exceeded after expiry of the trip
command delay time, the trip command is generated. 235.2126 „$00 TRIP“). Time expiry is reported via
(Fno. 235.2125 „$00 Time Out“). Expiry of the trip command delay time can be blocked via binary input
(Fno. 235.2113 „>$00 BLK.TDly“). As long as the binary input is active, the time is not started, hence trip-
ping cannot occur. On dropout of the binary input and continuous pickup, the time is started. Expiry of the delay
time can be bypassed by activating the binary input (Fno. 235.2111 „>$00 instant.“). If pickup continues
and the binary input is activated, tripping will occur immediately. Sending of the trip command can be blocked
via the binary inputs (Fno. 235.2115 „>$00 BL.TripA“) and (Fno. 235.2114 „>$00 BLK.TRIP“). The
phase-selective trip-command blocking is required for interaction with the inrush restraint (see „Interaction with
other Functions“). The dropout ratio of the function can be configured. Should undershooting of the set dropout
value occur after pickup (>-element), then the dropout delay time is started. Pickup is further maintained during
this time and a started trip command delay time continues to run. Should the trip command delay time expire
while the dropout delay time is still running, a trip command will occur only be generated if the threshold value
is exceeded at this time. Only upon expiry of the dropout delay time, the pickup drops out. If the time is config-
ured to zero, the dropout occurs immediately upon undershooting of the threshold value.
Direct Coupling
The direct coupling is not explicitly shown in the logic diagram as the functionality is analogous. When the
binary input to the direct coupling (Fno. 235.2112 „>$00 Dir.TRIP“) is activated, this is treated like an ex-
ceeding of the threshold value, i.e. the pickup delay time is started upon activation. If it is set to zero, the pickup
is reported immediately and the trip command delay time is started. The logic functions as illustrated in Figure
2-67.
The flexible protection functions interact with different other functions, e.g.
• with the Circuit-breaker Failure Protection:
The circuit-breaker failure protection is automatically started if the function generates a trip command. How-
ever, tripping only occurs if the current criterion is fulfilled at that time, i.e. the set minimum current threshold
7006 50BF PICKUP is exceeded.
• With the Automatic Reclosure Function (AR):
Initiation of the AR cannot occur directly. For interaction with the AR, the trip command of the flexible function
must be linked via CFC with binary input Fno. 2716 „>Start 79 Ph“ or Fno. 2715 „>Start 79 Gnd“.
If operating time is used, the pickup of the flexible function must be linked additionally with the binary input
Fno. 2711 „>79 Start“.
• With the Inrush Restraint:
A direct interaction with the inrush restraint is not possible. If a flexible function is supposed to be blocked
by the inrush restraint, this blocking must be carried out via CFC. For a phase-selective operation method,
the flexible function makes provision for three binary inputs for a phase-selective trip-command blocking
(Fno. 235.2115 to 235.2117). These must be linked with the phase-selective messages for recognition of
the inrush currents (Fno. 1840 to 1842). If a cross-blocking is to be implemented, the phase-selective inrush
messages are logical OR must be linked to the binary input for blocking the trip-command function (Fno.
235.2114 „>$00 BLK.TRIP“). It if further important to note that the flexible function must be delayed by at
least 20 ms so that the inrush restraint can pickup safely before the flexible function.
• With the Overall Device Logic:
The pickup message of the flexible function is included in the general fault detection, and tripping in the
general trip (see Chapter 2.16). All functionalities linked to the general fault detection and general trip there-
fore also apply to the flexible function.
The trip commands by the flexible protection function are maintained after reset of the pickup for at least the
configured minimum trip-command duration 210 T TRIPCOM MIN.
The setting of the functional scope determines the number of flexible protection functions to be used (see
Chapter 2.1.1). If a flexible function in the functional scope is disabled (by removing the checkmark), this will
result in losing all settings and configurations of this function or its settings will be reset to their default settings.
Introduction
In the DIGSI setting dialog „General“, parameter FLEXIBLE FUNC. can be set to OFF, ON or Alarm Only. If
the function is enabled in operational mode Alarm Only, no faults are recorded, no „Effective“-indication is
generated, no trip command issued and neither will the circuit-breaker protection be affected. Therefore, this
operational mode is preferred when a flexible function is not required to operate as a protection function. Fur-
thermore, the OPERRAT. MODE can be configured:
3-phase – functions evaluate the three-phase measuring system, i.e. all three phases are processed simulta-
neously. A typical example is the three-phase operating time overcurrent protection.
Single-phase – functions evaluate only the individual measuring value. This can be an individual phase value
(e.g. IB) or a ground variable (IG).
Measured Quantity
In the setting dialog „Measured Variable“ the measured variables to be evaluated by the flexible protection func-
tions can be selected, which may be a calculated or a directly measured variable. The setting options that can
be selected here are dependant on the mode of measured-value processing as predefined in parameter
OPERRAT. MODE (see the following table).
Measurement Procedures
The measurement procedures shown in the tables below can be configured. The dependencies of the available
measurement procedures of configurable modes of operation are also indicated.

Via parameter PICKUP WITH it is determined whether the function must be triggered on exceeding or under-
shooting of the set threshold value.
Settings
The pickup thresholds, delay times and dropout ratios of the flexible protection function are set in the „Settings“
dialog box in DIGSI.
The pickup threshold of the function is configured via parameter P.U. THRESHOLD. The OFF-command delay
time is set via parameter T TRIP DELAY. Both setting values must be selected according to the required ap-
plication.
The pickup can be delayed via parameter T PICKUP DELAY. This parameter is usually set to zero (default
setting) in protection applications, because a protection function should pick up as quickly as possible. A setting
deviating from zero may be appropriate if a trip log is not desired to be started upon each short-term exceeding
of the pickup threshold, for example, with power protection or when a function is not used as a protection, but
as a monitoring function.
The dropout of pickup can be delayed via parameter T DROPOUT DELAY. This setting is also set to zero by
default (standard setting) A setting deviating from zero may be required if the device is utilized together with
electro-magnetic devices with considerably longer dropout ratios than the digital protection device (see Chapter
2.2 for more information). When utilizing the dropout time delay, it is recommended to set it to a shorter time
than the OFF-command delay time in order to avoid both times to "race".
The dropout ratio of the function can be selected in parameter DROPOUT RATIO. The standard dropout ratio
of protection functions is 0.95 (default setting). If the symmetrical current components are used, a dropout ratio
of at least 0.9 should be set. If the dropout ratio is decreased, it would be sensible to test the pickup of the
function regarding possible "chatter".
2.13.3 Settings
Addresses which have an appended "A" can only be changed with DIGSI, under "Display Additional Settings".
Up to two temperature detection units (RTD-boxes) with 12 measuring sensors in total can be applied for tem-
perature detection and are recognized by the protection device.
Applications
• In particular the RTDs enable the thermal status of motors, generators and transformers to be monitored.
Rotating machines are additionally monitored for a violation of the bearing temperature thresholds. The tem-
peratures are measured in different locations of the protected object by employing temperature sensors
(RTD = Resistance Temperature Detector) and are transmitted to the device via one or two 7XV566 RTD-
boxes.
2.14.1 Description
RTD-box 7XV56
The RTD-box 7XV566 is an external device mounted on a standard DIN rail. It features 6 temperature detectors
and one RS485 interface for communication with the protection device. The RTD-box detects the coolant tem-
perature of each measuring point from the resistance value of the temperature detectors (Pt 100, Ni 100 or Ni
120) connected via two- or three-wires and converts it to a numerical value. The numerical values are made
available at a serial port.
The protection device can employ with up to 2 RTD-boxes via its service port (port C).
Therefore, up to 12 temperature measuring points are available in this way. For greater distances to the pro-
tection device the communication via fiber optic cables is recommended. Alternative communication structures
are shown in Appendix A.3.
Processing Temperatures
The transmitted raw temperature data is converted to a temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. The con-
version depends on the temperature sensor used.
For each temperature detector two threshold decisions can be performed which are available for further pro-
cessing. The user can make the corresponding allocations in the configuration matrix.
Each temperature input issues an alarm in case of a short-circuit or an interruption of the sensor circuit or if a
sensor is configured but not assigned. Additionally, a group annunciation is generated via all 6 temperature
inputs of an RTD-box (14101 „Fail: RTD“). In case of a communication fault, an alarm of the entire RTD-
box is issued (264 „Fail: RTD-Box 1“ or 267 „Fail: RTD-Box 2“).
The following figure shows the logic diagram for temperature processing.
The manual supplied with the RTD-box contains a connection diagram and dimensioned drawing.
General
Temperature detection is only effective and accessible if this protective function was allocated to an interface
during configuration (Sub-section 2.1.1). At address 190 RTD-BOX INPUT the RTD-box(es) is allocated to the
interface at which it will be operated (e.g. port C). The number of sensor inputs and the communication mode
were set at address 191 RTD CONNECTION. The temperature unit (°C or °F) was set in the Power System Data
1 at address 276 TEMP. UNIT.
If the RTD-boxes are operated in half-duplex mode, the flow control (CTS) must be selected by means of a
plug-in jumper (see Section 3.1.2 in Chapter „Mounting and Commissioning“) „/CTS enabled by /RTS “.
Device Settings
The settings are the same for each input and are here shown at the example of measuring input 1.
Set the type of temperature detector for RTD 1 (temperature sensor for measuring point 1) at address 9011
RTD 1 TYPE. You can choose between , Ni 120 Ω and Ni 100 Ω. If no temperature detector is available
for RTD 1, set RTD 1 TYPE = Not connected. This parameter can only be changed in DIGSI under „Display
Additional Settings“.
Address 9012 RTD 1 LOCATION informs the device about the mounting location of RTD 1. You can choose
between Oil, Ambient, Winding, Bearing and Other. The selection is not evaluated in the device but only
serves the purpose of providing information about the medium in which the temperature measurement is
carried out. This parameter can only be changed in DIGSI under „Display Additional Settings“.
You can also set an alarm temperature and a tripping temperature. Depending on the temperature unit selected
in the Power System Data (Section 2.1.1.2 in address 276 TEMP. UNIT), the alarm temperature can be ex-
pressed in degrees Celsius (°C) (address 9013 RTD 1 STAGE 1) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F) (address 9014
RTD 1 STAGE 1). The tripping temperature is set to degrees Celsius (°C) in address 9015 RTD 1 STAGE 2
or to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) at address 9016 RTD 1 STAGE 2.
The settings for all temperature detectors connected are made accordingly.
RTD-box Settings
If temperature detectors are used with two-wire connection, the line resistance (for short-circuited temperature
detector) must be measured and adjusted. For this purpose, select mode 6 in the RTD-box and enter the re-
sistance value for the corresponding temperature detector (range 0 to 50.6 Ω). If a 3-wire connection is used,
no further settings are required to this end.
A baudrate of 9600 bits/s ensures communication. Parity is even. The factory setting of the bus number 0. Mod-
ifications at the RTD-box can be made in mode 7. The following convention applies:
The RTD-box is visible in DIGSI as part of the 7SJ61 protection devices, i.e. messages and measured values
appear in the configuration matrix similar to those of the internal functions, and can be configured and pro-
cessed in the same way. Messages and measured values can thus be forwarded to the integrated user-defined
logic (CFC) and interconnected as desired. Pickup signals „RTD x St. 1 p.up“ and „RTD x St. 2 p.up“,
however, are neither included in the group alarms 501 „Relay PICKUP“ and 511 „Relay TRIP“ nor do they
trigger a trip log.
If it is desired that a message should appear in the event log, a cross must be entered in the intersecting box
of column/row.
2.14.3 Settings
Addresses which have an appended "A" can only be changed with DIGSI, under "Display Additional Settings".
A phase rotation function via binary input and parameter is implemented in 7SJ61 devices.
Applications
• Phase rotation ensures that all protective and monitoring functions operate correctly even with anti-clock-
wise rotation, without the need for two phases to be reversed.
2.15.1 Description
General
Various functions of the 7SJ61 device only function correctly if the phase rotation of the currents is known, e.g.
unbalanced load protection and some measurement quantity monitoring functions.
If an "acb" phase rotation is normal, the appropriate setting is made during configuration of the Power System
Data.
If the phase rotation can change during operation (e.g. the direction of a motor must be routinely changed),
then a changeover signal at the routed binary input for this purpose is sufficient to inform the protective relay
of the phase rotation reversal.
Logic
Phase rotation is permanently established at address 209 PHASE SEQ. (Power System Data). Via the exclu-
sive-OR gate the binary input „>Reverse Rot.“ inverts the sense of the phase rotation applied with setting.
The swapping of phases directly impacts the calculation of positive and negative sequence quantities, as well
as phase-to-phase voltages via the subtraction of one phase-to-ground voltage from another and vice versa.
Therefore, this function is vital so that phase detection messages, fault values, and operating measurement
values are not correct. As stated before, this function influences the negative protection function and some of
the monitoring functions that issue messages if the required and calculated phase rotations do not match.
The normal phase sequence is set at 209 (see Section 2.1.3). If, on the system side, phase rotation is reversed
temporarily, then this is communicated to the protective device using the binary input „>Reverse Rot.“
(5145).
The function logic coordinates the execution of protection and auxiliary functions, it processes the resulting de-
cisions and information received from the system. This includes in particular:
The pickup signals for all protection functions in the device are connected via an OR logic and lead to the
general device pickup. 4 It is initiated by the first function to pick up and drop out when the last function drops
out. As a consequence, the following message is reported: 501 „Relay PICKUP“.
The general pickup is a prerequisite for a number of internal and external consequential functions. The follow-
ing are among the internal functions controlled by general device pickup:
• Start of a trip log: From general device pickup to general device dropout, all fault messages are entered in
the trip log.
• Initialization of Oscillographic Records: The storage and maintenance of oscillographic values can also be
made dependent on the general device pickup.
Exception: Apart from the settings ON or OFF, some protection functions can also be set to Alarm Only. With
setting Alarm Only no trip command is given, no trip log is created, fault recording is not initiated and no spon-
taneous fault annunciations are shown on the display.
General Tripping
The trip signals for all protective functions are connected by OR and generate the message 511 „Relay
TRIP“.
This message can be configured to an LED or binary output, just as the individual tripping messages can.
Once the trip command is output by the protection function, it is recorded as message „Relay TRIP“ (see
figure 2-70). At the same time, the minimum trip command duration TMin TRIP CMD is started. This ensures
that the command is transmitted to the circuit breaker for a sufficient amount of time, even if the function which
issued the trip signal drops out quickly. The trip commands can be terminated first when the last protection
function has dropped out (no function is in pickup mode) AND the minimum trip signal duration has expired.
Finally, it is possible to latch the trip signal until it is manually reset (lockout function). This allows the circuit-
breaker to be locked against reclosing until the cause of the fault has been clarified and the lockout has been
manually reset. The reset takes place either by pressing the LED reset key or by activating an appropriately
allocated binary input („>Reset LED“). A precondition, of course, is that the circuit-breaker close coil – as
usual – remains blocked as long as the trip signal is present, and that the trip coil current is interrupted by the
auxiliary contact of the circuit breaker.
The minimum trip command duration TMin TRIP CMD was described already in Section 2.1.3. This setting
applies to all protective functions that initiate tripping.
After the occurrence of a system fault, data regarding the response of the protective relay and the measured
values are saved for future analysis. For this reason the device is designed to perform message processing.
Applications
• LED Display and Binary Outputs (Output Relays)
• Information via Display Field or Personal Computer
• Information to a Control Center
Prerequisites
The SIPROTEC 4 System Description provides a detailed description of the configuration procedure (see /1/).
Important events and conditions are displayed, using LEDs at the front panel of the relay. The device further-
more has output relays for remote indication. All LEDs and binary outputs indicating specific messages can be
freely configured. The relay is delivered with a default setting. The Appendix of this manual deals in detail with
the delivery status and the allocation options.
The output relays and the LEDs may be operated in a latched or unlatched mode (each may be individually set).
The latched conditions are protected against loss of the auxiliary voltage. They are reset:
• On site by pressing the LED key on the relay,
• Remotely using a binary input configured for that purpose,
• Using one of the serial interfaces,
• Automatically at the beginning of a new pickup.
State indication messages should not be latched. Also, they cannot be reset until the criterion to be reported
has reset. This applies to messages from monitoring functions, or similar.
A green LED displays operational readiness of the relay ("RUN“), and cannot be reset. It goes out if the self-
check feature of the microprocessor recognizes an abnormal occurrence, or if the auxiliary voltage is lost.
When auxiliary voltage is present, but the relay has an internal malfunction, then the red LED ("ERROR") lights
up and the processor blocks the relay.
Events and conditions can be read out on the display at the front cover of the relay. Using the front PC interface
or the rear service interface, a personal computer can be connected, to which the information can be sent.
The relay is equipped with several event buffers, for operational messages, circuit breaker statistics, etc., which
are protected against loss of the auxiliary voltage by a buffer battery. These messages can be displayed on the
LCD at any time by selection via the keypad or transferred to a personal computer via the serial service or PC
interface. Readout of messages during operation is described in detail in the SIPROTEC 4 System Description.
Classification of Messages
A complete list of all message and output functions that can be generated by the device with the maximum
functional scope can be found in the appendix. All functions are associated with an information number (FNo).
There is also an indication of where each message can be sent to. If functions are not present in a not fully
equipped version of the device, or are configured to Disabled, then the associated indications cannot appear.
The operational messages contain information that the device generates during operation and about operation-
al conditions. Up to 200 operational messages are recorded in chronological order in the device. New messag-
es are appended at the end of the list. If the memory is used up, then the oldest message is scrolled out of the
list by a new message.
After a fault on the system, for example, important information about the progression of the fault can be re-
trieved, such as the pickup of a protective element or the initiation of a trip signal. The start of the fault is time
stamped with the absolute time of the internal system clock. The progress of the disturbance is output with a
relative time referred to the instant of fault detection, so that the duration of the fault until tripping and up to reset
of the trip command can be ascertained. The resolution of the time information is 1 ms
After occurrence of a fault, the most important fault data appear in the display automatically after a general
pickup of the device, without further operating actions. They are displayed in the sequence shown in
Figure 2-71.
Figure 2-71 Display of spontaneous annunciations in the 4–line display of the device
Retrievable Messages
The messages for the last eight network faults can be retrieved and read out. The definition of a network fault
is such that the time period from fault detection up to final clearing of the disturbance is considered to be one
network fault. If auto-reclosing occurs, then the network fault ends after the last reclosing shot, which means
after a successful reclosing or lockout. Therefore the entire clearing process, including all reclosing shots, oc-
cupies only one trip log buffer. Within a network fault, several fault messages can occur (from the first pickup
of a protective function to the last dropout of a protective function). Without auto-reclosing each fault event rep-
resents a network fault.
In total 600 indications can be recorded. Oldest data are erased for newest data when the buffer is full.
General Interrogation
The general interrogation which can be retrieved via DIGSI enables the current status of the SIPROTEC 4
device to be read out. All messages requiring general interrogation are displayed with their present value.
Spontaneous Messages
The spontaneous messages displayed using DIGSI reflect the present status of incoming information. Each
new incoming message appears immediately, i.e. the user does not have to wait for an update or initiate one.
If the device has a serial system interface, stored information may additionally be transferred via this interface
to a centralized control and storage device. Transmission is possible via different transmission protocols.
2.17.2 Statistics
The number of trips initiated by the 7SJ61, the number of close commands initiated by the AR and the operating
hours under load are counted. An additional counter allows the number of hours to be determined in which the
circuit breaker is positioned in the „open“ condition. Further statistical data can be gained to optimize the inter-
vals for circuit breaker maintenance.
Furthermore, if the device is utilized as motor protection, statistical values regarding the operation of the motor
as well as the last 5 motor startups are available.
The counter and memory levels are secured against loss of auxiliary voltage.
During the first start of the protection device the statistical values are pre-defined to zero.
2.17.2.1 Description
Number of Trips
In order to count the number of trips of 7SJ61, the 7SJ61 relay has to be informed of the position of the circuit
breaker auxiliary contacts via binary inputs. Hereby, it is necessary that the internal pulse counter is allocated
in the matrix to a binary input that is controlled by the circuit breaker OPEN position. The pulse count value
"Number of TRIPs CB" can be found in the "Statistics" group if the option "Measured and Metered Values Only"
was enabled in the configuration matrix.
The number of reclosing commands initiated by the automatic reclosing function is summed up in separate
counters for the 1st and ≥ 2nd cycle.
Operating Hours
The operating hours under load are also stored (= the current value in at least one phase is greater than the
limit value BkrClosed I MIN set under address 212).
A meter can be realized as a CFC application if it adds up the number of hours in state „Circuit Breaker open“
similarly to the operating hours meter. The universal hours meter is linked to a respective binary input and
counts if the binary input is active. Alternatively, the undershooting of the parameter value 212 BkrClosed I
MIN may be used as a criterion for starting the meter. The meter can be set or reset. A CFC application example
for such meter is available on the Internet (SIPROTEC Download Area).
General
The procedures aiding in CB maintenance allow maintenance intervals of the CB poles to be carried out when
their actual degree of wear makes it necessary. Saving on maintenance and servicing costs is one of the main
benefits this functionality offers.
The universal CB maintenance accumulates the tripping currents of the trips initiated by the protective functions
and comprises the four following autonomous subfunctions:
• Summation tripping current (ΣI-procedure)
• Summation of tripping powers (ΣIx-procedure)
• Two-point procedure for calculating the remaining lifetime (2P-procedure)
• Sum of all Squared Fault Current Integral (I2t-procedure);
Measured value acquisition and preparation operates phase-selectively for all four subfunctions. The three
results are each evaluated using a threshold which is specific for each procedure (see Figure 2-72).
The ΣI procedure is always present and active as a basic functionality. However, the other procedures (ΣIx, 2P
and I2t) can be selected via a common configuration parameter.
As the load on the switch depends on the current amplitude and duration of the actual switching action, includ-
ing arc deletion, determination of the start and end criteria is of great importance. The procedures ΣIx, 2P and
I2t make use of the same criteria for that purpose. The logic of the start and end criterion is illustrated in Figure
2-73.
The start criterion is fulfilled by an internal protective tripping initiated by the group indication "device TRIP".
Trips initiated via the internal control function are taken into consideration for the circuit breaker maintenance
if the respective command is indicated via the parameter 265 Cmd.via control. An externally initiated trip
command can be taken into consideration if the message „>52 Wear start“ is sent simultaneously via a
binary input. The edge of the sent message „>52-a“ can also be used as a further criterion as this signals
that the mechanism of the circuit breaker is put in motion in order to separate the contacts.
As soon as the start criterion has been fulfilled, the parameterized opening time of the circuit breaker is started.
The time of commencement of separation of the circuit breaker contacts is thus determined. The end of the trip
procedure, including arc deletion is determined via another given parameter (CB tripping time) supplied by the
manufacturer of the circuit breaker.
In order to prevent an incorrect calculation procedure in case of circuit breaker failure, the current criterion 212
BkrClosed I MIN verifies whether the current actually returned to zero after two additional cycles. When the
phase-selective logic release is fulfilled by the current criterion, the calculation and evaluation methods of the
respective procedures are initiated. After these have been completed, the end criterion of the circuit breaker
maintenance is fulfilled and ready for a new initiation.
Please note that CB maintenance will be blocked if parameter settings are made incorrectly. This condition is
indicated by the message „52 WearSet.fail“, „52WL.blk n PErr“ or „52WL.blk I PErr“ (see
Section 2.1.6.2, „Power System Data 2“). The latter two indications can only take effect if the 2P-procedure was
configured.
Σ I-Procedure
Being a basic function, the ΣI-procedure is unaffected by the configuration and does not require any procedu-
respecific settings. All tripping currents occurring 1½ periods after a protective trip, are summed up for each
phase. These tripping currents are r.m.s. values of the fundamental harmonic.
The interrupted current in each pole is determined for each trip signal. The interrupted fault current is indicated
in the fault messages and is added up with previously stored fault current values in the statistic-counters. Mea-
sured values are indicated in primary terms.
The ΣI method does not feature integrated threshold evaluation. But using CFC it is possible to implement a
threshold, which logically combines and evaluates the three summation currents via an OR operation. Once
the summation current exceeds the threshold, a corresponding message will be triggered.
Σ Ix Procedure
While the ΣI-procedure is always enabled and active, use of the ΣIx-procedure depends on the CB mainte-
nance configuration. This procedure operates analogously to the ΣI-procedure. The differences relate to the
involution of the tripping currents and their reference to the exponentiated rated operating current of the CB.
Due to the reference to Irx, the result is an approximation to the number of make-break operations specified by
the CB manufacturer. The displayed values can be interpreted as the number of trips at rated operational
current of the CB. They are displayed in the statistics values without unit and with two decimal places.
The tripping currents used for calculation are a result of the rms values of the fundamental harmonic, which is
recalculated each cycle.
If the start criterion is satisfied (as described in Section „General“), the r.m.s. values, which are relevant after
expiration of the opening time, are checked for each phase as to whether they comply with the current criterion.
If one of the values does not satisfy the criterion, its predecessor will be used instead for calculation. If no r.m.s.
value satisfies the criterion up to the predecessor of the starting point, which is marked by the start criterion, a
trip has taken place which only affects the mechanical lifetime of the breaker and is consequently not detected
by this procedure.
If the current criterion grants the logic release after the opening time has elapsed, the recent primary tripping
currents (Ib) are involuted and related to the exponentiated rated operating current of the CB. These values are
then added to the existing statistic values of the ΣIx-procedure. Subsequently, threshold comparison is started
using threshold „ΣI^x>“ as well as the output of the new related summation tripping current powers. If one of
the new statistic values lies above the threshold, the message „Threshold ΣI^x>“ is generated.
2P-Procedure
The application of the two-point procedure for the calculation of the remaining lifespan depends on the CMD
configuration. The data supplied by the CB manufacturer is transformed in such manner that, by means of mea-
suring the fault currents, a concrete statement can be made with regard to the still possible operating cycles.
The CB manufacturer's double-log operating cycle diagrams form the basis of the measured fault currents at
the time of contact separation. Determination of the fault currents is effected in accordance with the method as
described in the above section of the ΣIx–procedure.
The three results of the calculated remaining lifetime are represented as statistic value. The results represent
the number of still possible trips, if the tripping takes place when the current reaches the rated operational cur-
rent. They are displayed without unit and without decimals.
As with the other procedures, a threshold logically combines the three „remaining lifetime results“ via an OR
operation and evaluates them. It forms the „lower threshold“, since the remaining lifetime is decremented with
each trip by the corresponding number of operating cycles. If one of the three phase values drops below the
threshold, a corresponding message will be triggered.
A double-logarithmic diagram provided by the CB manufacturer illustrates the relationship of operating cycles
and tripping current (see example in Figure 2-74). This diagram allows the number of yet possible trips to be
determined (for tripping with equal tripping current). According to the example, approximately 1000 trips can
yet be carried out at a tripping current of 10 kA. The characteristic is determined by two vertices and their con-
necting line. Point P1 is determined by the number of permitted operating cycles at rated operating current Ir,
point P2 by the maximum number of operating cycles at rated fault tripping current Isc. The associated four
values can be configured.
As Figure 2-74 illustrates a double-log diagram, the straight line between P1 and P2 can be expressed by the
following exponential function:
n = b·Ibm
where n is the number of operating cycles, b the operating cycles at Ib = 1A, Ib the tripping current, and m the
directional coefficient.
The general line equation for the double-logarithmic representation can be derived from the exponential func-
tion and leads to the coefficients b and m.
Note
Since a directional coefficient of m < -4 is technically irrelevant, but could theoretically be the result of incorrect
settings, it is limited to -4. If a coefficient is smaller than -4, the exponential function in the operating cycles
diagram is deactivated. The maximum number of operating cycles with Isc (263 OP.CYCLES Isc) is used
instead as the calculation result for the current number of operating cycles, see Figure 2-75.
If the current criterion described in the Section „General“ grants the phase-selective logic release, the present
number of operating cycles is calculated based on the tripping currents determined when the CB operating time
on tripping has elapsed. They are set off against the remaining lifetime allowing the present statistic values to
be displayed and the evaluation to be started using the specified threshold. If one of the new values lies above
the threshold, the message „Thresh.R.Endu.<“ is generated.
Three additional phase-selective statistic values are provided to determine the portion of purely mechanical
trips among the results of the remaining lifetime (e.g. for phase A: „mechan.TRIP A=“). They act as counters
which count only the trips whose tripping currents are below the value of the current criterion.
I2t-Procedure
During the I2t-procedure the squared fault current integral occurring per trip is added up phase-selectively. The
integral is derived from the squared instantaneous values of the currents occurring during arc time of the circuit
breaker. This results in:
The three sums of the calculated integrals are represented as statistic values referred to the squared device
nominal current (Inom2). As with the other procedures, a threshold logically combines the three sums via an OR
operation and evaluates them.
The calculated squared tripping currrent integrals are added to the existing statistic values. Subsequently,
threshold comparison is started using threshold „ΣI^2t>“, and the new statistic values are output. If one of
the values lies above the threshold, the message „Thresh. ΣI^2t>“ is generated.
Commissioning
Usually, no measures are required for commissioning. However, should the protection device be exchanged
(e.g. old circuit breaker and a new protection device), the initial values of the respective limit or statistical values
must be determined via the switching statistics of the respective circuit breaker.
General
The motor operation statistic is newly calculated in a 600 ms cycle. In the statistics buffer, its image is de-
creased to a resolution of one hour.
The motor startup current is displayed as a primary value. The measurement of this statistical value is initiated
upon energization of the motor. This is recognized as soon as the threshold value of the circuit breaker position
detection (parameter 212 BkrClosed I MIN) is exceeded in at least one phase. A requirement for this is that
all three phase currents were previously below the configured threshold value.
The end of the startup time measurement is triggered as soon as the largest of the three phase currents un-
dershoots the startup current as set in parameter 1107 I MOTOR START for at least 300 ms.
If the motor startup current (parameter 1107 I MOTOR START) is not exceeded after energization detection
or if the current falls below the motor startup current within 500 ms after energization detection, then this is not
considered being a motor startup. No statistic is created.
Reading/Setting/Resetting Counters
The SIPROTEC 4 System Description provides a description of how to read out the statistical counters via the
device front panel or DIGSI. Setting or resetting of these statistical counters takes place under the menu item
MESSAGES —> STATISTICS by overwriting the counter values displayed.
Under address 172 52 B.WEAR MONIT one of the alternatives ΣIx procedure, 2P procedure, I2t procedure or
Disabled can be set. All parameters relevant to this function are available at parameter block P.System
Data 1 (see Section2.1.3).
The following setting values are important input values the subfunctions require in order to operate correctly:
The CB Tripping Time is a characteristic value provided by the manufacturer. It covers the entire tripping
process from the trip command (applying auxiliary power to the trip element of the circuit breaker) up to arc
extinction in all poles. The time is set at address 266 T 52 BREAKTIME.
The CB Operating Time T 52 OPENING is equally a characteristic value of the circuit breaker. It covers the
time span between the trip command (applying auxiliary power to the trip element of the circuit breaker) and
separation of CB contacts in all poles. It is entered at address 267 T 52 OPENING.
Current flow monitoring 212 BkrClosed I MIN, which some protective functions rely upon to detect a closed
CB, is used as the current zero criterion. It should be set with respect to the actually used device functions (see
also margin heading „Current Flow Monitoring (CB)“ in Section 2.1.3.2.
Σ I Procedure
Being the basic function of summation current formation, the ΣI-procedure is always active and does not
require any additional settings. This is irrespective of the configuration in address 172 52 B.WEAR MONIT.
This method does not offer integrated threshold evaluation. The latter could, however, be implemented using
CFC.
Σ Ix Procedure
Parameter 172 52 B.WEAR MONIT can be set to activate the ΣIx procedure. In order to facilitate evaluating
the sum of all tripping current powers, the values are referred to the involuted CB rated operational current.
This value is indicated in the CB data at address 260 Ir-52 in the P.System Data 1 and can be set as
primary value. This reference allows the threshold of the ΣIx procedure to correspond to the maximum number
of make-break operations. For a circuit breaker, whose contacts have not yet been worn, the maximum number
of make-break operations can be entered directly as threshold. The exponent for the involution of the rated op-
erational current and of the tripping currents is set at address 264 Ix EXPONENT. To meet different customer
requirements, this exponent 264Ix EXPONENT can be increased from 1.0 (default setting = 2.0) to 3.0.
For the procedure to operate correctly, the time response of the circuit breaker must be specified in parameters
266 T 52 BREAKTIME and 267 T 52 OPENING.
The summated values can be interpreted as the number of tripping operations at rated operational current of
the CB. They are displayed in the statistical values without unit and with two decimal places.
2P-Procedure
Parameter 172 52 B.WEAR MONIT can be set to activate the 2P procedure. An operating cycles diagram (see
sample diagram in the functional description of the 2P procedure), provided by the manufacturer, shows the
relationship of make-break operations and tripping current. The two vertices of this characteristic in a double
logarithmic scale are decisive for the setting of addresses260 to 263:
Point P1 is determined by the number of permitted make-break operations (parameter 261 OP.CYCLES AT
Ir) for rated operational current Ir (parameter 260 Ir-52)
Point P2 is determined by the maximum number of make-break operations (parameter 263 OP.CYCLES Isc)
for rated fault tripping current Isc (parameter 262 Isc-52).
For the procedure to operate correctly, the time response of the circuit breaker must be specified in parameters
266T 52 BREAKTIME and 267T 52 OPENING.
I2t-Procedure
The I2t-procedure is activated via configuration parameter 172 52 B.WEAR MONIT. The square fault current
integrals are referred to the squared device nominal current. For purposes of determining the arc time, the
device must be informed of the CB tripping time T 52 BREAKTIME as well as the CB opening time T 52
OPENING of the circuit breaker. For recognition of the last zero crossing (arc deletion) of the currents after trip-
ping, the „Current-zero“ Criterion is required.
2.17.3 Measurement
A series of measured values and the values derived from them are constantly available for call up on site, or
for data transfer.
Applications
• Information on the actual status of the system
• Conversion of secondary values to primary values and percentages
Prerequisites
Except for secondary values, the device is able to indicate the primary values and percentages of the measured
values.
A precondition for correctly displaying the primary and percentage values is complete and correct entry of the
nominal values for the transformers and the protected equipment as well as current transformer ratios in the
ground path when configuring the device. The following table shows the formulas which are the basis for the
conversion from secondary values into primary values and percentages.
Table 2-16 Conversion formulae between secondary values and primary/percentage values
IN = 3 ·I0 IN sec
(calculated)
Depending on the type of device ordered and the device connections, some of the operating measured values
listed below may not be available. The ground current IN is either measured directly or calculated from the con-
ductor currents.
Measured values can be transferred via the interfaces to a central control and storage unit.
The measuring range in which these values are transmitted depend on the protocol and, if necessary, addition-
al settings.
2.17.4.1 Description
Long-Term Averages
The long-term averages of the three phase currents Ix, and the positive sequence components I1 for the three
phase currents are calculated within a set period of time and indicated in primary values.
For the long-term average values mentioned above, the length of the time window for averaging and the fre-
quency with which it is updated can be set.
Average Calculation
The selection of the time period for measured value averaging is set with parameter 8301 DMD Interval in
the corresponding setting group from A to D under MEASUREMENT. The first number specifies the averaging
time window in minutes while the second number gives the frequency of updates within the time window. 15
Min., 3 Subs, for example, means: Time average is generated for all measured values with a window of 15
minutes. The output is updated every 15/3 = 5 minutes.
With address 8302 DMD Sync.Time, the starting time for the averaging window set under address 8301 is
determined. This setting specifies if the window should start on the hour (On The Hour) or 15 minutes later
(15 After Hour) or 30 minutes / 45 minutes after the hour (30 After Hour, 45 After Hour).
If the settings for averaging are changed, then the measured values stored in the buffer are deleted, and new
results for the average calculation are only available after the set time period has passed.
2.17.4.3 Settings
Minimum and maximum values are calculated by the 7SJ61. Time and date of the last update of the values can
also be read out.
2.17.5.1 Description
The minimum and maximum values of the three phase currents IA, IB, IC, the positive sequence components
I1 and the thermal measured value of overload protection Θ/ΘTrip are calculated as primary values including the
date and time they were last updated.
The minimum and maximum values of the long-term mean values listed in the previous section are also calcu-
lated.
The min/max values can be reset via binary inputs, via DIGSI or via the integrated control panel at any time. In
addition, the reset can also take place cyclically, beginning with a pre-selected point in time.
The tracking of minimum and maximum values can be reset automatically at a programmable point in time. To
select this feature, address 8311 MinMax cycRESET should be set to YES. The point in time when reset is to
take place (the minute of the day in which reset will take place) is set at address 8312 MiMa RESET TIME.
The reset cycle in days is entered at address 8313 MiMa RESETCYCLE, and the beginning date of the cyclical
process, from the time of the setting procedure (in days), is entered at address 8314 MinMaxRES.START.
2.17.5.3 Settings
SIPROTEC devices facilitate the setting of limit values for any measured or metered values. Should any of
these setpoints be reached, exceeded or undershot during operation, the device issues a warning which is in-
dicated in the form of an operational message. This message can be configured to LEDs and/or binary outputs,
transferred via the ports and interconnected in DIGSI CFC. In addition you can use DIGSI CFC to configure set
points for further measured and metered values and allocate these via the DIGSI device matrix. In contrast to
the actual protection functions the limit value monitoring function operates in the background; therefore it may
not pick up if measured values are changed spontaneously in the event of a fault and if protection functions are
picked up. As a message is only issued upon multiple exceeding of the limit values, such limit value monitoring
does not react as fast as the trip signals of protection functions.
Applications
• This monitoring program works with multiple measurement repetitions and lower priority than the protection
functions. For that reason, in the event of a fault it may not respond to fast measured value changes before
protection functions are started and tripped. This monitoring program is not suitable for blocking protection
functions.
2.17.6.1 Description
Setting is performed in the DIGSI Configuration Matrix under Settings, Masking I/O (Configuration Matrix).
Set the filter "Measured and Metered Values Only" and select the configuration group "Setpoints (LV)". Here,
default settings may be changed or new setpoints defined.
Settings must be applied in percent and usually refer to nominal values of the device.
2.17.7.1 Description
For the statistical counters, limit values may be entered and a message is generated as soon as they are
reached. The message can be allocated to both output relays and LEDs.
Setpoints for the statistic counter are entered in the DIGSI® menu item Annunciation → Statistic into the
submenu Setpoints for Statistic. Double-click to display the corresponding contents in another window. By
overwriting the previous value you can change the settings (please refer to the SIPROTEC® 4 System Descrip-
tion).
Device data sent to a central or master computer system during test mode or commissioning can be influenced.
There are tools for testing the system interface and the binary inputs and outputs of the device.
Applications
• Test Mode
• Commissioning
Prerequisites
The following applies to the utilization of the commissioning aids as described below:
2.17.8.1 Description
If the device is connected to a central or main computer system via the SCADA interface, then the information
that is transmitted can be influenced.
Depending on the type of protocol, all messages and measured values transferred to the central control system
can be identified with an added message "test operation"-bit while the device is being tested on site (test
mode). This identification prevents the messages from being incorrectly interpreted as resulting from an actual
power system disturbance or event. As another option, all messages and measured values normally trans-
ferred via the system interface can be blocked during the testing ("block data transmission").
Data transmission block can be accomplished by controlling binary inputs, by using the operating panel on the
device, or with a PC and DIGSI via the operator interface.
The SIPROTEC 4 System Manual describes in detail how to activate and deactivate test mode and blocked
data transmission.
If the device features a system interface and uses it to communicate with the control center, the DIGSI device
operation can be used to test if messages are transmitted correctly.
A dialog box shows the display texts of all messages which were allocated to the system interface in the con-
figuration matrix. In another column of the dialog box you can specify a value for the messages you intend to
test (e.g. ON/OFF). After having entered password no. 6 (for hardware test menus) a message can be gener-
ated. The corresponding message is issued and can be read out either from the event log of the SIPROTEC 4
device or from the substation control system.
The binary inputs, outputs, and LEDs of a SIPROTEC 4 device can be individually and precisely controlled in
DIGSI. This feature can be used, for example, to verify control wiring from the device to substation equipment
(operational checks), during start-up.
A dialog box shows all binary inputs and outputs as well as LEDs of the device with their present status. The
operating equipment, commands, or messages that are configured (masked) to the hardware components are
also displayed. After having entered password no. 6 (for hardware test menus), it is possible to switch to the
opposite status in another column of the dialog box. Thus, you can energize every single output relay to check
the wiring between protected device and the system without having to create the alarm allocated to it.
During commissioning, energization sequences should be carried out to check the stability of the protection
also during closing operations. Oscillographic event recordings contain the maximum information on the be-
havior of the protection.
Along with the capability of storing fault recordings via pickup of the protection function, the 7SJ61 also has the
capability of capturing the same data when commands are given to the device via the service program DIGSI,
the serial interface, or a binary input. For the latter, event „>Trig.Wave.Cap.“ must be allocated to a binary
input. Triggering for the oscillographic recording then occurs, for instance, via the binary input when the pro-
tection object is energized.
An oscillographic recording that is triggered externally (that is, without a protective element pickup) are pro-
cessed by the device as a normal oscillographic record. For each oscillographic record a fault record is created
which is given its individual number to ensure that assignment can be made properly. However, these oscillo-
graphic recordings are not displayed in the fault log buffer in the display as they are no network fault events.
The Web Monitor facilitates the display of parameters, data and measuring values for SIPROTEC 4 devices
during installation or during operation. It uses Internet technology for this purpose. The display is effected by
means of a Web browser, e.g. the Internet Explorer.
The SIPROTEC Web Monitor provides a variety of comprehensive device functions, other available functions
are device-specific. For the 7SJ61 a phase diagram is implemented as specific function. Apart from general
information regarding installation, this manual provides a description of specific functions of the SIPROTEC
Web Monitor for 7SJ61 only. The general functions are described in the Help file of the DIGSI-CD (as from
DIGSI V4.60).
Prerequisites
The Web Monitor runs on the operator PC and requires only standard software. The following software pro-
grams / operating systems must be installed:
Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft
Windows ME, Microsoft Windows 98
Internet browser: Netscape Communicator Version 4.7, Netscape Communicator as from Version 6.x or Mi-
crosoft Internet Explorer as from Version 5.0. Java must be installed and activated.
Long-distance data transmission network: The required software component is included in Microsoft Windows
XP, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 98. This component is only required if the
device is connected via a serial interface.
Network adapter: The required software component is included in Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows
2000, Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 98. This component is only required if the device is connected via
a serial interface (possible for devices with EN 100 interface).
2.17.9.1 General
During the commissioning phase, the device configuration created in the devices must be verified and their
functions be checked. The Web Monitor provides support during the basic and clear determination and display-
ing of important measuring values.
Discrepancies in the wiring or the configuration can be quickly found and solved.
To run the Web Monitor, a link from the operator PC to the protection device via its front and rear operator in-
terface (service interface) is necessary. This can be done directly via the 9-pole DIGSI cable by means of an
existing long-distance data connection. Remote access via a modem is also possible. An Internet browser must
be installed on the operator PC (see paragraph on system requirements). DIGSI 4 is usually also installed on
the operator PC.
Please note that it must be ensured that DIGSI 4 and the Web Monitor do not use the same operator interface
at the same time. A simultaneous serial access would lead to data collisions. This means that either DIGSI 4
OR the Web-Monitor can use a device interface. Before the Web Monitor is started, DIGSI 4 must be exited or
at least the settings and allocations in DIGSI 4 must have been finalized. It is possible to simultaneously
operate DIGSI 4 at the front operator interface via a COM port of the operator PC and the Web Monitor at the
rear operating interface via another COM port of the operating PC.
The Web Monitor consists of HTML pages and the Java-Applets contained therein, which are stored in the
7SJ61 SIPROTEC 4 device in EEPROM. It forms an integral part of the SIPROTEC 4 device firmware and
therefore does not need not be installed separately. All that needs to be created on the operator PC is a long-
distance data transmission network used for selection and communication. After the link has been successfully
established through the data transmission network, the browser is started and the TCP-IP address of the pro-
tection device is entered. The server address of the device, which is its homepage address, is transmitted to
the browser and displayed as an HTML page. This TCP-IP address is set at the front and service interface
using DIGSI 4, or directly on the device using the integrated operator interface.
Note
It is only possible to monitor this process. Control of the process through the data transmission link is only pos-
sible after a control feature has been set up and established. A parameter can be modified either directly on
the device or with DIGSI 4 in such manner that the device control feature contained in the Web Monitor also
permits the input of numerical values. Thereafter, the Web Monitor parameters can be modified which are nor-
mally set only directly on the device, because passwords can now be entered from the keyboard.
2.17.9.2 Functions
Basic Functionality
Basic functionality means the functions that are generally available, i.e. not device-dependent.
These comprise:
• Device Control
• Messages
• Fault Records
• Measurement Overview
• Diagnostics
• Device File System
• CFC
A description of these functions is provided in the Online Help of DIGSI as from Version V4.60.
The above figure of the device operation view shows a device connected through the data transmission link
with its control (keyboard) and display elements (display, LEDs, inscriptions). The device can be operated with
the keys shown in the display in the same way as with the sealed keypad on the device.
It is recommended to block the control via the Web Monitor. This can also be achieved by setting "Read Only"-
access for the interface via which the Web browser accesses the device. This parameter can be accessed in
DIGSI via "Interfaces - Operator Interface on Device" (for access via serial interface) or via "Interfaces - Ether-
net on Device" (for access via the Ethernet interface, see the following figure).
Figure 2-78 Setting the Web Monitor authorization for acces via Ethernet interface
As an example for the basic functionality, the figure below shows messages of the event log of the device in
the form of a list. These messages are displayed with their short text stored in the device.
The Web Monitor works in the following operating modes between the operator PC and the SIPROTEC 4
device:
Direct connection of the front operator interface or the rear service interface of the device with the serial inter-
face of the operator PC. For this link the 9-pin cable must be used that is supplied as an accessory with DIGSI.
Connection of the rear service interface of the device via a direct optical connection to a star coupler. Connec-
tion of the operator PC's serial interface to a star coupler. In this way several devices can be operated within
the system; the existing installation can be used for central operation of protection devices.
Connection via an Ethernet interface. This type of connection requires an EN100 communication module inside
the device and a connection of that module to a local network.
For more information of the basic functionality, the installation and the operating system-specific configuration,
please refer to the Web-Monitor online help provided on the DIGSI CD.
The access rights for the Web Monitor are assigned with DIGSI via the Interfaces entry. It is recommended to
assigne the Read only authority there; it is then not possible to deleted the event list via the Web Monitor nor
to issue a command or to reset a stored LED. If the Full access is assigned, all these operating actions are
also possible via the Web Monitor.
Note
No access has no effect yet, i.e. the user also has full access in this case. See Figure 2-78 on that.
With the help of the Web Monitor, a clear representation of the most important measurement data of the device
can be achieved. The measurement values can be called via the navigation bar. A list with the desired infor-
mation appears (see Figure 2-80).
The currents and their phase angles derived from the primary and secondary measured values are graphically
displayed as phasor diagrams (see Figure 2-81). In addition to phasor diagrams of the measured values, the
numerical values as well as frequency and device address are indicated.
Figure 2-81 Web-Monitor — example of phasor diagram of the primary measured values
The following types of messages can be retrieved and displayed with the Web Monitor.
• Operational messages (buffer: event log),
• Fault messages (buffer: trip log),
• Ground fault messages,
• Spontaneous messages.
You can print these lists with the „Print event buffer“ button.
The parameters for the Web Monitor can be set separately via the device menu (Setup/Options/IP Configura-
tion) or via DIGSI for the front operator interface and for the rear service interface. These are IP addresses
related to the interface via which communication with the PC and the Web monitor is to be performed.
The IP addresses apply to SIPROTEC for the following operations via the
• front operator interface: 192.168.1.1
• rear service interface: 192.168.2.1
If the device has an EN100 module, operation via the system interface is also possible. In this case, the IP
address is automatically drawn from the system or individually assigned via the station configurator.
Ensure that the 12-digit IP address valid for the browser is set correctly via DIGSI or the device display in the
format ***.***.***.***.
A control command process is integrated in the SIPROTEC 4 device 7SJ61 to coordinate the operation of
circuit breakers and other equipment in the power system.
Switchgear with single and multiple busbars are supported. The number of switchgear devices to be controlled
is, basically, limited by the number of binary inputs and outputs present. High security against inadvertent
device operations can be ensured if interlocking checks are enabled. A standard set of optional interlocking
checks is provided for each command issued to circuit breakers/switchgear.
Switchgear can be controlled via the device operator panel, via the operating port using a personal computer
and via the serial port with a link to the substation control equipment.
Applications
• Switchgears with single and double busbars
Prerequisites
2.18.1.1 Description
Using the navigation keys ▲, ▼, W, X, the control menu can be accessed and the switching device to be operated
can be selected. After having entered a password, a new window is displayed in which multiple control actions
(e.g. close, open, cancel) are available and can be selected using the ▼ and ▲ keys. Thereafter, a query appears
for security reasons. After the security check has been completed, the ENTER key must be pressed again to
carry out the command. If this release does not occur within one minute, the process is aborted. Cancellation
via the ESC key is possible at any time before the control command is issued.
Switchgear devices can be controlled via the operator control interface with a PC using the DIGSI operating
program. The procedure to do so is described in the SIPROTEC 4 System Description (Control of Switchgear).
Control of switching devices can be performed via the serial system interface and a connection to the switch-
gear control and protection system. It is therefore required to ensure that the required peripherals physically
exist in the device and in the power system. Furthermore, certain settings for the serial interface in the device
need to be carried out (see SIPROTEC 4 System Description).
In conjunction with the power system control several command types can be distinguished for the device:
2.18.2.1 Description
These are all commands that are directly output to the switchgear to change their process state:
• Switching commands for the control of circuit breakers (not synchronized), disconnectors and ground elec-
trode,
• Step Commands, e.g. raising and lowering transformer LTCs
• Setpoint commands with configurable time settings, e.g. to control Petersen coils
They do not directly operate binary outputs. They serve to initiate internal functions, simulate changes of state
or to acknowledge changes of state.
• Manual overriding commands to manually update information on process-dependent objects such as indi-
cations and switching states, e.g. if the communication with the process is interrupted. Manually overridden
objects are flagged as such in the information status and can be displayed accordingly.
• Tagging commands (for "Setting") for internal object information values, e.g. deleting / presetting switching
authority (remote vs. local), parameter set changeovers, data transmission blockage and metered values.
• Acknowledgment and resetting commands for setting and resetting internal buffers or data states.
• Information status command to set/reset the additional "information status" of a process object, such as:
– Input blocking
– Output Blocking
Safety mechanisms in the command sequence ensure that a command can only be released after a thorough
check of preset criteria has been successfully concluded. Standard Interlocking checks are provided for each
individual control command. Additionally, user-defined interlocking conditions can be programmed separately
for each command. The actual execution of the command is also monitored afterwards. The overall command
task procedure is described in brief in the following list:
2.18.3.1 Description
Check Sequence
– Setting Modification in Process (if setting modification is in process, commands are denied or delayed)
– Operating equipment enabled as output (if an operating equipment component was configured, but not
configured to a binary input, the command is denied)
– Output Block (if an output block has been programmed for the circuit breaker, and is active at the moment
the command is processed, then the command is denied)
– Command in Progress (only one command can be processed at a time for one operating equipment,
object-related Double Operation Block)
– 1-of-n-check (for schemes with multiple assignments, such as relays contact sharing a common terminal
a check is made if a command is already active for this set of output relays).
2.18.4.1 Description
The extent of the interlocking checks is determined by the configuration of the relay. For more information on
GOOSE, please refer to the SIPROTEC 4 System Description /1/.
Switching objects that require system interlocking in a central control system are assigned to a specific param-
eter inside the bay unit (via configuration matrix).
For all commands, operation with interlocking (normal mode) or without interlocking (Interlocking OFF) can be
selected:
• for local commands, by reconfiguration via password prompt,
• for automatic commands, via command processing by CFC using non-interlocking detection,
• for local / remote commands, using an additional interlocking disable command, via Profibus.
The configurable command checks in the SIPROTEC 4 devices are also called “standard interlocking”. These
checks can be activated via DIGSI (interlocked switching/tagging) or deactivated (non-interlocked).
Deactivated interlock switching means that the configured interlocking conditions are not checked in the relay.
Interlocked switching means that all configured interlocking conditions are checked within the command pro-
cessing. If a condition is not fulfilled, the command will be rejected by a message with a minus added to it (e.g.
"CO–"), immediately followed by a message.
The following table shows the possible types of commands in a switching device and their corresponding mes-
sages. For the device the messages designated with *) are displayed in the event logs, for DIGSI they appear
in spontaneous messages.
The "plus" appearing in the message is a confirmation of the command execution. The command execution
was positive as expected The minus sign means a negative confirmation, the command was rejected. Possible
command feedbacks and their causes are dealt with in the SIPROTEC^ 4 System Description. The following
figure shows operational indications relating to command execution and operation response information for
successful switching of the circuit breaker.
The check of interlockings can be programmed separately for all switching devices and tags that were set with
a tagging command. Other internal control actions, such as manual entry or cancel are not tested, i.e. carried
out independent of the interlocking.
Figure 2-82 Example of an operational annunciation for switching circuit breaker 52 (Q0)
The standard interlockings contain the following fixed programmed tests for each switching device, which can
be individually enabled or disabled using parameters:
• Device Status Check (set = actual): The switching command is rejected, and an error indication is displayed
if the circuit breaker is already in the set position. If this check is enabled, then it works whether interlocking,
e.g. zone controlled, is activated or deactivated.
• System Interlocking: To check system interlocking, a local command is transmitted to the central unit with
Switching Authority = LOCAL. A switching device that is subject to system interlocking cannot be switched
by DIGSI.
• Zone Controlled/Bay Interlocking: Logic links in the device which were created via CFC are interrogated and
considered during interlocked switching.
• Blocked by Protection: A CLOSE-command is rejected as soon as one of the protective elements in the relay
picks up. The OPEN-command, in contrast, can always be executed. Please be aware, activation of thermal
overload protection elements or sensitive ground fault detection can create and maintain a fault condition
status, and can therefore block CLOSE commands. If the interlocking is removed, consider that, on the other
hand, the restart inhibit for motors will not automatically reject a CLOSE command to the motor. Restarting
would then have to be interlocked in some other way. One method would be to use a specific interlocking in
the CFC logic.
• Double Operation Block: Parallel switching operations are interlocked; while one switching operation is
being processed a second one can be executed.
• Switching Authority LOCAL: A switching command of the local control (command with command source
LOCAL) is only allowed if a LOCAL control is allowed at the device (by configuration).
• Switching Authority DIGSI: Switching commands that are issued locally or remotely via DIGSI (command
with command source DIGSI) are only allowed if remote control is admissible for the device (by configura-
tion). If a DIGSI PC connects to the device, it deposits here its virtual device (VD) number. Only commands
with this VD (when Switching Authority = REMOTE) will be accepted by the device. Remote switching com-
mands will be rejected.
• Switching Authority REMOTE: A switching control command (command with source of command REMOTE)
is only allowed if REMOTE control is admissible at the device (by configuration).
The following figure shows the configuration of the interlocking conditions using DIGSI.
Figure 2-84 DIGSI dialog box for setting the interlocking conditions
The configured interlocking causes appear on the device display. They are marked by letters explained in the
following table.
The following figure shows all interlocking conditions (which usually appear in the display of the device) for
three switchgear items with the relevant abbreviations explained in the previous table. All parameterized inter-
locking conditions are indicated.
For the bay interlocking an enabling logic can be structured using the CFC. Via specific release conditions the
information „released“ or „bay interlocked“ are available (e.g. object „52 Close“ and „52 Open“ with the data
values ON / OFF).
Switching Authority
The interlocking condition "Switching Authority" serves to determine the switching authorization. It enables the
user to select the authorized command source. The following switching authority zones are defined in the fol-
lowing priority sequence:
• LOCAL
• DIGSI
• REMOTE
The object "Switching Authority" serves to interlock or enable LOCAL control, but not REMOTE or DIGSI com-
mands. For the 7SJ61 the switching authority can be changed between "REMOTE" and "LOCAL" in the oper-
ator panel after having entered the password or by means of CFC also via binary input and function key.
The "Switching authority DIGSI" is used for interlocking and allows commands to be initiated using DIGSI.
Commands are allowed for both remote and a local DIGSI connection. When a (local or remote) DIGSI PC logs
on to the device, it enters its Virtual Device Number (VD). The device only accepts commands having that VD
(with switching authority = OFF or REMOTE). When the DIGSI PC logs off, the VD is cancelled.
Commands are checked for their source and the device settings, and compared to the information set in the
objects "Switching authority" and "Switching authority DIGSI".

SC = Source of command
SC = Auto:
Commands that are derived internally (command processing in the CFC) are not subject to switching authority
and are therefore always "enabled".
Switching Mode
The switching mode determines whether selected interlocking conditions will be activated or deactivated at the
time of the switching operation.
The following switching modes (local) are defined:
• Local commands (SC=LOCAL)
– interlocked (normal), or
– non-interlocked (de-interlocked) switching.
For the 7SJ61 the switching authority can be changed between "Interlocked" and "Non-interlocked" in the op-
erator panel by password or by means of CFC also via binary input and function key.
– For commands from CFC (SC = Auto), please observe the notes in the CFC manual (component: BOOL
to command).
Zone controlled / Field interlockings (e.g. via CFC) includes the verification that predetermined switchgear po-
sition conditions are satisfied to prevent switching errors (e.g. disconnector vs. ground switch, ground switch
only if no voltage applied) as well as verification of the state of other mechanical interlocking in the switchgear
bay (e.g. High Voltage compartment doors open against CB closing).
Interlocking conditions can be programmed separately for device control CLOSE and/or OPEN.
The enable information with the data "switching device is interlocked (OFF/NV/FLT) or enabled (ON)" can be
set up,
• directly, using a single point or double point indication, key-switch, or internal indication (marking), or
• by means of a control logic via CFC.
When a switching command is initiated, the actual status is scanned cyclically. The assignment is done via "Re-
lease object CLOSE/OPEN command".
System Interlocking
Substation Controller (System interlocking) involves switchgear conditions of other bays evaluated by a central
control system.
Parallel switching operations are interlocked. As soon as the command has arrived all command objects
subject to the interlocking are checked to know whether a command is being processed. While the command
is being executed, interlocking is enabled for other commands.
Blocking by Protection
Protection functions then block switching operations. Protective elements are configured, separately for each
switching component, to block specific switching commands sent in CLOSE and TRIP direction.
When enabled, "Block CLOSE commands" blocks CLOSE commands, whereas "Block TRIP commands"
blocks TRIP signals. Switching operations in progress will immediately be aborted by the pickup of a protective
element.
For switching commands, a check takes place whether the selected switching device is already in the set/de-
sired position (set/actual comparison). This means, if a circuit breaker is already in the CLOSED position and
an attempt is made to issue a closing command, the command will be refused, with the operating message "set
condition equals actual condition". If the circuit breaker/switchgear device is in the intermediate position, then
this check is not performed.
Bypassing Interlocking
Bypassing configured interlocks at the time of the switching action happens device-internal via interlocking rec-
ognition in the command job or globally via so-called switching modes.
• SC=LOCAL
– The 7SJ61 allows the switching modes "interlocked" or "non-interlocked" to be selected in the operator
panel after password entry.
During the processing of the commands, independent of the further message routing and processing,
command and process feedback information are sent to the message processing centre. These messages
contain information on the cause. With the corresponding allocation (configuration) these messages are
entered in the event list, thus serving as a report.
Prerequisites
A listing of possible operating messages and their meaning as well as the command types needed for tripping
and closing of the switchgear or for raising and lowering of transformer taps are described in the SIPROTEC 4
System Description.
2.18.5.1 Description
All messages with the source of command LOCAL are transformed into a corresponding response and shown
in the display of the device.
The acknowledgement of messages with source of command Local/ Remote/DIGSI are sent back to the initi-
ating point independent of the routing (configuration on the serial digital interface).
The acknowledgement of commands is therefore not executed by a response indication as it is done with the
local command but by ordinary command and feedback information recording.
The processing of commands monitors the command execution and timing of feedback information for all com-
mands. At the same time the command is sent, the monitoring time is started (monitoring of the command ex-
ecution). This time controls whether the device achieves the required final result within the monitoring time. The
monitoring time is stopped as soon as the feedback information arrives. If no feedback information arrives, a
response „Timeout command monitoring time“ appears and the process is terminated.
Commands and information feedback are also recorded in the event list. Normally the execution of a command
is terminated as soon as the feedback information (FB+) of the relevant switchgear arrives or, in case of com-
mands without process feedback information, the command output resets and a message is output.
The "plus" sign appearing in a feedback information confirms that the command was successful. The command
was as expected, in other words positive. The "minus" is a negative confirmation and means that the command
was not executed as expected.
The command types needed for tripping and closing of the switchgear or for raising and lowering of transformer
taps are described under configuration in /1/.
General
WARNING!
Warning of improper transport, storage, installation or assembly of the device.
Failure to observe these precautions can result in death, personal injury, or serious material damage.
Trouble-free and safe use of this device depends on proper transport, storage, installation, and assembly of
the device according to the warnings in this device manual.
Of particular importance are the general installation and safety regulations for work in a high-voltage environ-
ment (for example, ANSI, IEC, EN, DIN, or other national and international regulations). These regulations must
be observed.
Prerequisites
For installation and connections the following requirements and conditions must be met:
The rated device data has been checked as recommended in the SIPROTEC® 4 System Description. Their
compliance with the power system data has been verified.
General Diagrams
General diagrams for 7SJ61 are shown in Appendix A.2. Connection examples for current transformer circuits
are provided in A.3.
The configuration options of the binary in- and outputs, i.e. the procedure for the individual adaptation to the
plant conditions, are described in the SIPROTEC 4 System Description. The connections to the plant are de-
pendent on this configuration. The presettings of the device are listed in Appendix A.5. Please also check that
the labelling strips on the front panel correspond to the configured message functions.
If binary inputs are used to switch setting groups, please observe the following:
• Two binary inputs must be dedicated to the purpose of changing setting groups when four groups are to be
switched. One binary input must be set for „>Set Group Bit0“, the other input for „>Set Group Bit1“.
If either of these input functions is not assigned, then it is considered as not controlled.
• For the control of 2 setting groups one binary input is sufficient, namely „>Set Group Bit0“, since the
non-assigned binary input „>Set Group Bit1“ is then regarded as not not connected.
• The control signals must be permanently active so that the selected setting group is and remains active.
The following table shows the allocation of the binary inputs to the setting groups A to D and a simplified con-
nection diagram for the two binary inputs is illustrated in the following figure. The figure illustrates an example
in which both Set Group Bits 0 and 1 are configured to be controlled (actuated) when the associated binary
input is energized (high).
Where:
yes = energized
Figure 3-1 Connection diagram (example) for setting group switching using binary inputs
Please note that two binary inputs or one binary input and one bypass resistor R must be connected in series.
The pick-up threshold of the binary inputs must therefore stay substantially below half the rated control DC volt-
age.
If two binary inputs are used for the trip circuit supervision, these binary inputs must be volt-free i.o.w. not be
commoned with each other or with another binary input.
If one binary input is used, a bypass resistor R must be used (see following figure). The resistor R is inserted
into the circuit of the 52b circuit breaker auxiliary contact to facilitate the detection of a malfunction also when
the 52a circuit breaker auxiliary contact is open and the trip contact has dropped out. The value of this resistor
must be such that in the circuit breaker open condition (therefore 52a is open and 52b is closed), the circuit
breaker trip coil (52TC) is no longer energzied and binary input (BI1) is still energized if the command relay
contact is open.
This results in an upper limit for the resistance dimension, Rmax, and a lower limit Rmin, from which the optimal
value of the arithmetic mean R should be selected:
In order that the minimum voltage for controlling the binary input is ensured, Rmax is derived as:
So the circuit breaker trip coil does not remain energized in the above case, Rmin is derived as:
If the calculation results in Rmax < Rmin, the calculation must be repeated, with the next lowest switching thresh-
old VBI min, and this threshold must be implemented in the relay using plug-in jumpers (see Section „Hardware
Modifications“).
Example:
3.1.2.1 General
Hardware modifications concerning, for instance, nominal currents, the control voltage for binary inputs or ter-
mination of serial interfaces might be necessary. Follow the procedure described in this section, whenever
hardware modifications are done.
Auxiliary Voltage
There are different power supply voltage ranges for the auxiliary voltage (refer to the Ordering Information in
Appendix A.1). The power supplies of the variants for DC 60/110/125 V and DC 110/125/220 V, AC 115/230 V
are largely interchangeable by modifying the position of the jumpers. The assignment of these jumpers to the
nominal voltage ranges and their spatial arrangement on the PCB are described in the following Sections. Lo-
cation and ratings of the miniature fuse and the buffer battery are also shown. When the relays are delivered,
these jumpers are set according to the name-plate sticker. Generally, they need not be altered.
Nominal Currents
The input transformers of the devices are set to a nominal current of 1 A or 5 A with jumpers. Jumpers are set
according to the name-plate sticker. The assignment of the plug-in jumpers to the nominal current and the
spatial arrangement of the jumpers are described in the following sections.
Jumpers X61, X62 and X63 must be set for the same nominal current, i.e. there must be one jumper for each
input transformer, and the common jumper X 60.
With standard 1/5 A-jumpers jumper X64 for the ground path is set to 1 A or 5 A irrespective of other jumper
positions and depending on the ordered variant.
With models equipped with a sensitive ground fault current input (input transformer T4) of setting range 0.001
to 1.500 A there is no jumper X64.
Note
If nominal current ratings are changed by way of exception, then the new ratings must be registered via the
parameters 205 CT SECONDARY/218 Ignd-CT SEC in the Power System Data (see Section 2.1.3.2).
When the device is delivered from the factory, the binary inputs are set to operate with a voltage that corre-
sponds to the rated DC voltage of the power supply. In general, to optimize the operation of the inputs, the
pickup voltage of the inputs should be set to most closely match the actual control voltage being used.
A jumper position is changed to adjust the pickup voltage of a binary input. The assignment of the plug-in
jumpers to the contact type and the spatial arrangement of the jumpers are described in the following sections.
Note
If binary inputs are used for trip circuit monitoring, please note that two binary inputs (or one binary input and
one replacement resistor) must be connected in series. The switching threshold must lie significantly below half
the nominal voltage.
Input/output boards can have relays that are equipped with changeover contacts. Therefore it is necessary to
rearrange a jumper. To which relays of which boards this applies is described in the following sections.
Replacing Interfaces
Only serial interfaces of devices for panel and cubicle flush mounting are replaceable. Which interfaces can be
exchanged, and how this is done, is described in the following section under the margin heading “Exchanging
Interface Modules“.
If the device is equipped with a serial RS485 interface or Profibus, they must be terminated with resistors at the
last device on the bus to ensure reliable data transmission. For this purpose, terminating resistors are provided
on the PCB of the CPU processor module and on the RS485 or PROFIBUS interface module which can be
connected via jumpers. Here, only one option can be used. The physical arrangement of the jumpers on the
PCB of the corresponding processor board CPU is described in the following sections under margin heading
„Processor Board CPU“. The arrangement of the jumpers on the interface modules is described under margin
heading „RS485/RS232“ and „Profibus Interface (FMS/DP) DNP3.0/Modbus“. Both jumpers must always be
plugged identically.
Spare Parts
Spare parts can be the buffer battery that provides for storage of the data in the battery-buffered RAM when
the supply voltage fails, and the miniature fuse of the internal power supply. Their physical arrangement is
shown in the figures of the processor boards. The ratings of the fuse are printed on the board next to the fuse.
When exchanging the fuse, please observe the hints given in the SIPROTEC 4 System Description under
“Maintenance“ and “Corrective Action / Repairs“.
3.1.2.2 Disassembly
Note
Before carrying out the following steps, make sure that the device is not operative.
Caution!
Caution when changing jumper settings that affect nominal values of the device
As a consequence, the ordering number (MLFB) and the ratings that are stated on the nameplate do no longer
match the actual device properties.
If such changes are necessary, the changes should be clearly and fully noted on the device. Self adhesive
stickers are available that can be used as replacement nameplates.
To perform work on the printed circuit boards, such as checking or moving switching elements or exchanging
modules, proceed as follows:
• Prepare working area: Provide a grounded mat for protecting components subject to damage from electro-
static discharges (ESD). The following equipment is required:
– screwdriver with a 5 to 6 mm wide tip,
– 1 Phillips screwdriver,
• Unfasten the screw-posts of the D-subminiature connector on the back panel at location "A". This activity is
not necessary if the device is designed for surface mounting.
• If, besides the interface at location "A", there are further interfaces at location "B" and/or "C", also remove
the screws located diagonally to the interfaces. This is not necessary if the device is designed for surface
mounting.
• Remove the four or six caps on the front cover and loosen the screws that become accessible.
• Carefully take off the front cover.
Caution!
Mind electrostatic discharges
When working on plug connectors, electrostatic discharges must be avoided by previously touching a grounded
metal part.
Board Arrangement
The arrangement of the printed circuit boards (PCBs) can be seen in the following figure.

The following Figure shows the processor printed circuit board CPU and arrangement of the modules.
Figure 3-9 Processor printed circuit board CPU with interface modules
The interface modules are located on the processor printed circuit boards CPU (No.1 in Figure 3-3).
The order numbers of the exchange modules can be found in the Appendix in Section A.1, Accessories.
RS232 interface
Interface RS232 can be modified into interface RS485 and vice versa (see Figures 3-10 and 3-11).
Figure 3-9 shows the printed circuit board of A-CPU and the interface modules.
The following figure shows the location of the jumpers of interface RS232 on the interface module.
Devices in surface mounting housing with fiber optics connection have their fiber optics module housed in the
console housing. The fiber optics module is controlled via a RS232 interface module at the associated CPU
interface slot. For this application type the jumpers X12 and X13 on the RS232 module are plugged in position
2-3.
Jumper X11 enables the flow control (CTS) feature which is important for modem communication.
Table 3-13 Jumper setting for CTS (Clear to Send) on the interface module
1) Default setting
Jumper setting 2-3:. The modem connection is usually established with star coupler or fiber optic converter.
Therefore the modem control signals according to RS232 Standard DIN 66020 are not available. The modem
signals are not required since the connection to the SIPROTEC 4 devices is always operated in the half-duplex
mode. Please use the connection cable with order number 7XV5100-4.
Jumper setting 2-3 is equally required when using the RTD boxes in half-duplex operation.
Jumper setting 1-2: This setting makes the modem signals available, i.e. for a direct RS232 connection
between the SIPROTEC 4 device and the modem this setting can be selected optionally. We recommend to
use a standard RS232 modem connection cable (converter 9-pin to 25-pin).
Note
For a direct connection to DIGSI with interface RS232, jumper X11 must be plugged in position 2-3.
RS485 Interface
The following figure shows the location of the jumpers of interface RS485 on the interface module.
Interface RS485 can be modified to interface RS232 and vice versa, according to Figure 3-10.
Figure 3-11 Position of terminating resistors and the plug-in jumpers for configuration of the RS485 interface
Figure 3-12 Position of the plug-in jumpers for the configuration of the terminating resistors at the Profibus (FMS and
DP), DNP 3.0 and Modbus interfaces.
The interface module does not feature any jumpers. Its use does not require any hardware adaptations.
Figure 3-13 Location of the jumpers for configuration of the terminating resistors
Termination
Busbar capable interfaces always require a termination at the last device to the bus, i.e. terminating resistors
must be connected. On the 7SJ61 device, this applies to variants with RS485 or PROFIBUS interfaces.
The terminating resistors are located on the RS485 or Profibus interface module mounted on the processor
input/output board CPU (serial no. 1 in Figure 3-3).
With default setting the jumpers are set such that the terminating resistors are disconnected. Both jumpers of
a board must always be plugged in the same way.
The terminating resistors can also be connected externally (e.g. to the connection module), see Figure 3-14.
In this case, the terminating resistors located on the RS485 or Profibus interface module or directly on the PCB
of the processor module CPU must be switched OFF.
3.1.2.5 Reassembly
3.1.3 Installation
To install the device in a frame or cubicle, two mounting brackets are required. The ordering codes are stated
in Appendix, Section A.1
• Screw on loosely the two mounting brackets in the rack or cabinet, each with four screws.
• Remove the 4 covers on the corners of the front plate. Thus, 4 elongated holes are revealed in the mounting
bracket and can be accessed.
• Tighten the unit with 4 screws at the angle brackets.
• Replace the 4 covers.
• Tighten fast the eight screws of the angle brackets in the rack or cabinet.
• Connect the ground on the rear plate of the device to the protective ground of the rack. Use at least one M4
screw for the device ground. The cross section of the wire must be equal to the maximum connection cross
section area but be at least 2.5 mm 2.
• Connections are realized via the plug terminals or screw terminals on the rear side of the device according
to the circuit diagram. When using forked lugs for direct connections or screw terminal, the screws, before
having inserted the lugs and wires, must be tightened in such a way that the screw heads are even with the
terminal block. A ring lug must be centered in the connection chamber, in such a way that the screw thread
fits in the hole of the lug. The SIPROTEC® 4 System Description has pertinent information regarding wire
size, lugs, bending radii, etc.
Pin Assignments
The following tables illustrate the pin assignments of the various serial device interfaces, of the time synchro-
nization interface and of the Ethernet interface. The position of the connections can be seen in the following
figure.
Operator Interface
When the recommended communication cable is used (refer to the Appendix for the ordering number), correct
connection between the SIPROTEC 4 device and the PC or laptop is automatically ensured.
Service Interface
Check the data connection if the service interface (Port C) is used to communicate with the device via fixed
wiring or a modem. If the service port is used as input for one or two RTD boxes, verify the interconnection
according to one of the connection examples given in Appendix A.3.
System Interface
When a serial interface of the device is connected to a control center, the data connection must be checked. A
visual check of the assignment of the transmit and receive channels is important. With RS232 and fiber optic
interfaces, each connection is dedicated to one transmission direction. For that reason the data output of one
device must be connected to the data input of the other device and vice versa.
With data cables, the connections are designated according to DIN 66020 and ISO 2110:
• TxD = Data output
• RxD = Data input
• RTS = Request to send
• CTS = Clear to send
• GND = Signal/Chassis Ground
The cable shield is to be grounded at both ends. For extremely EMC-prone environments, the GND may be
connected via a separate individually shielded wire pair to improve immunity to interference.
1)
Pin 7 also carries the RTS signal with RS232 level when operated as RS485 interface. Pin 7 must therefor not be con-
nected.
Termination
The RS485 interface is capable of half-duplex service with the signal A/A' and B/B' with a common relative po-
tential C/C' (GND). Verify that only the last device on the bus has the terminating resistors connected, and that
the other devices on the bus do not. The jumpers for the terminating resistors are located on the interface
module RS485 (see Figure 3-10) or Profibus RS485 (see Figure 3-12). The terminating resistors can also be
connected externally (e.g. to the connection module, as illustrated in Figure 3-14). In this case, the terminating
resistors located on the module must be disconnected.
If the bus is extended, make sure again that only the last device on the bus has the terminating resistors
switched-in, and that all other devices on the bus do not.
It is optionally possible to process 5 V-, 12 V- or 24 V- time synchronization signals, provided that they are
carried to the inputs named in the following table.
Fiber-optic Cables
WARNING!
Laser Radiation!
Signals transmitted via optical fibers are unaffected by interference. The fibers guarantee electrical isolation
between the connections. Transmit and receive connections are represented by symbols.
The standard setting of the character idle state for the optical fiber interface is „Light off“. If the character idle
state is to be changed, use the operating program DIGSI as described in the SIPROTEC 4 System Description.
Verify also the termination: The terminating resistors must be connected to 7SJ61 (see margin heading „Ter-
mination“).
For further information refer to the operating manual of 7XV5662-xAD. Check the transmission settings at the
temperature meter. Besides the baud rate and the parity the bus number is also important.
Please observe that detector input 1 (RTD1) of the first RTD-box is assigned for ambient or coolant temperature
of the overload protection.
WARNING!
Warning of dangerous voltages
Non-observance of the following measures can result in death, personal injury or substantial property damage.
Therefore, only qualified people who are familiar with and adhere to the safety procedures and precautionary
measures should perform the inspection steps.
Caution!
Take care when operating the device without a battery on a battery charger.
Non-observance of the following measures can lead to unusually high voltages and consequently, the destruc-
tion of the device.
Do not operate the device on a battery charger without a connected battery. (For limit values see also Technical
Data, Section 4.1).
Before the device is energized for the first time, it should be in the final operating environment for at least 2
hours to equalize the temperature, to minimize humidity and to avoid condensation. Connections are checked
with the device at its final location. The plant must first be switched off and grounded.
– Remove the ribbon cable connected to the I/O board with the measured current inputs (on the front side
it is the right printed circuit board in Figure 3-3). Then remove the printed circuit board so that there is no
longer any contact with the plug-in terminal of the housing.
– At the terminals of the device, check continuity for each pair of terminals that receives current from the
CTs.
– Firmly re-insert the I/O board. Carefully connect the ribbon cable. Do not bend any connector pins! Do
not use force!
– At the terminals of the device, again check continuity for each pair of terminals that receives current from
the CTs.
• Connect an ammeter in the supply circuit of the power supply. A range of about 2.5 A to 5 A for the meter is
appropriate.
• Switch on m.c.b. for auxiliary voltage (supply protection), check the voltage level and, if applicable, the po-
larity of the voltage at the device terminals or at the connection modules.
• The current consumption should correspond to the power input in neutral position of the device. The mea-
sured steady state current should be insignificant. Transient movement of the ammeter merely indicates the
charging current of capacitors.
• Remove the voltage from the power supply by opening the supply circuit of the power supply.
• Disconnect the measuring test equipment; restore the normal power supply connections.
• Check the trip and close circuits to the power system circuit breakers.
• Verify that the control wiring to and from other devices is correct.
• Check the signalling connections.
• Remove the voltage from the power supply by closing the supply circuit of the power supply.
3.3 Commissioning
WARNING!
Warning of dangerous voltages when operating an electrical device
Non-observance of the following measures can result in death, personal injury or substantial property damage.
Only qualified people shall work on and around this device. They must be thoroughly familiar with all warnings
and safety notices in this instruction manual as well as with the applicable safety steps, safety regulations, and
precautionary measures.
Before making any connections, the device must be grounded at the protective conductor terminal.
Hazardous voltages can exist in all switchgear components connected to the power supply and to measure-
ment and test circuits.
Hazardous voltages can be present in the device even after the power supply voltage has been removed (ca-
pacitors can still be charged).
After switching off the auxiliary voltage, wait a minimum of 10 seconds before reconnecting this voltage so that
steady conditions can be established.
The limit values given in Technical Data (Chapter 4) must not be exceeded, neither during testing nor during
commissioning.
When testing the device with secondary test equipment, make sure that no other measurement quantities are
connected and that the trip and close circuits to the circuit breakers and other primary switches are disconnect-
ed from the device.
DANGER!
Hazardous voltages during interruptions in secondary circuits of current transformers
Non-observance of the following measure will result in death, severe personal injury or substantial property
damage.
Short-circuit the current transformer secondary circuits before current connections to the device are opened.
Switching operations have to be carried out during commissioning. A prerequisite for the prescribed tests is
that these switching operations can be executed without danger. They are accordingly not intended for opera-
tional checks.
WARNING!
Warning of dangers evolving from improper primary tests
Non-observance of the following measures can result in death, personal injury or substantial property damage.
Primary tests are only allowed to be carried out by qualified personnel, who are familiar with the commissioning
of protection systems, the operation of the plant and the safety rules and regulations (switching, grounding,
etc.).
If the device is connected to a central or main computer system via the SCADA interface, then the information
that is transmitted can be influenced. This is only possible with some of the protocols available (see Table „Pro-
tocol-dependent functions“ in the Appendix A.6).
If the test mode is switched on, the messages sent by a SIPROTEC 4 device to the main system has an ad-
ditional test bit. This bit allows the messages to be recognized as not resulting from actual faults. Furthermore,
it can be determined by activating the transmission block that no annunciations are transmitted via the system
interface during test mode.
The SIPROTEC 4 System Manual describes in detail how to activate and deactivate the test mode and blocked
data transmission. Please note that when DIGSI is being used for device editing, the program must be in the
online operating mode for the test features to be used.
Prefacing Remarks
If the device features a system interface and this is used to communicate with the control center, the DIGSI
device operation can be used to test if messages are transmitted correctly. This test option should however
definitely not be used while the device is in„real“ operation.
DANGER!
Danger evolving from operating the equipment (e.g. circuit breakers, disconnectors) by means of the
test function
Non-observance of the following measure will result in death, severe personal injury or substantial property
damage.
Equipment used to allow switching such as circuit breakers or disconnectors is to be checked only during com-
missioning. Do not under any circumstances check them by means of the test function during real operation by
transmitting or receiving messages via the system interface.
Note
After termination of the system interface test the device will reboot. Thereby, all annunciation buffers are
erased. If required, these buffers should be extracted with DIGSI prior to the test.
The interface test is carried out using DIGSI in the Online operating mode:
• Open the Online directory by double-clicking; the operating functions for the device appear.
• Click on Test; the function selection appears in the right half of the screen.
• Double-click Generate Indications in the list view. The Generate Indications dialog box opens (see fol-
lowing figure).
In the column Indication the display texts of all indications are displayed which were allocated to the system
interface in the matrix. In the column SETPOINT Status the user has to define the value for the messages to
be tested. Depending on annunciation type, several input fields are offered (e.g. message „ON“ / message
„OFF“). By clicking on one of the fields you can select the desired value from the pull-down menu.
Figure 3-19 System interface test with the dialog box: Creating messages - example
When clicking one of the buttons in the column Action for the first time, you will be prompted for the password
no. 6 (for hardware test menus). After correct entry of the password, individual annunciations can be initiated.
To do so, click on the button Send on the corresponding line. The corresponding message is issued and can
be read out either from the event log of the SIPROTEC 4 device or from the substation control system.
For all information that is transmitted to the central station, test the options in the list which appears in SET-
POINT Status:
• Make sure that each checking process is carried out carefully without causing any danger (see above and
refer to DANGER!)
• Click on Send in the function to be tested and check whether the transmitted information reaches the central
station and shows the desired reaction. Data which are normally linked via binary inputs (first character „>“)
are likewise indicated to the central power system with this procedure. The function of the binary inputs itself
is tested separately.
To end the System Interface Test, click on Close. The device is briefly out of service while the start-up routine
is executed. The dialog box closes.
The information transmitted in command direction must be indicated by the central station. Check whether the
reaction is correct.
Prefacing Remarks
The binary inputs, outputs, and LEDs of a SIPROTEC 4 device can be individually and precisely controlled in
DIGSI. This feature is used to verify control wiring from the device to plant equipment (operational checks)
during commissioning. This test option should however definitely not be used while the device is in„real“ oper-
ation.
DANGER!
Danger evolving from operating the equipment (e.g. circuit breakers, disconnectors) by means of the
test function
Non-observance of the following measure will result in death, severe personal injury or substantial property
damage.
Equipment used to allow switching such as circuit breakers or disconnectors is to be checked only during com-
missioning. Do not under any circumstances check them by means of the test function during real operation by
transmitting or receiving messages via the system interface.
Note
After finishing the hardware tests, the device will reboot. Thereby, all annunciation buffers are erased. If re-
quired, these buffers should be read out with DIGSI and saved prior to the test.
The hardware test can be carried out using DIGSI in the Online operating mode:
• Open the Online directory by double-clicking; the operating functions for the device appear.
• Click on Test; the function selection appears in the right half of the screen.
• Double-click in the list view on Hardware Test. The dialog box of the same name opens (see the following
figure).
The dialog box is classified into three groups: BI for binary inputs, REL for output relays, and LED for light-
emitting diodes. On the left of each of these groups is an accordingly labelled button. By double-clicking a
button, information regarding the associated group can be shown or hidden.
In the column Status the present (physical) state of the hardware component is displayed. Indication is made
by symbols. The physical actual states of the binary inputs and outputs are indicated by an open or closed
switch symbol, the LEDs by a dark or illuminated LED symbol.
The opposite state of each element is displayed in the column Scheduled. The display is made in plain text.
The right-most column indicates the commands or messages that are configured (masked) to the hardware
components.
To change the status of a hardware component, click on the associated button in the Scheduled column.
Password No. 6 (if activated during configuration) will be requested before the first hardware modification is
allowed. After entry of the correct password a status change will be executed. Further status changes remain
possible while the dialog box is open.
Each individual output relay can be energized allowing to check the wiring between the output relay of the
7SJ61 and the system, without having to generate the message that is assigned to the relay. As soon as the
first status change for any one of the output relays is initiated, all output relays are separated from the internal
device functions, and can only be operated by the hardware test function. This for example means that a
switching command coming from a protection function or a control command from the operator panel to an
output relay cannot be executed.
To test the wiring between the plant and the binary inputs of the 7SJ61 the condition in the plant which initiates
the binary input must be generated and the response of the device checked.
To do so, the dialog box Hardware Test must be opened again to view the physical state of the binary inputs.
The password is not yet required.
If ,however, the effect of a binary input must be checked without carrying out any switching in the plant, it is
possible to trigger individual binary inputs with the hardware test function. As soon as the first state change of
any binary input is triggered and the password No. 6 has been entered, all binary inputs are separated from the
plant and can only be activated via the hardware test function.
The LEDs may be tested in a similar manner to the other input/output components. As soon as the first state
change of any LED has been triggered, all LEDs are separated from the internal device functionality and can
only be controlled via the hardware test function. This means e.g. that no LED is illuminated anymore by a pro-
tection function or by pressing the LED reset button.
As the Hardware Test dialog opens, the operating states of the hardware components which are current at this
time are read in and displayed.
An update is made:
• for each hardware component, if a command to change the condition is successfully performed,
• for all hardware components if the Update button is clicked,
• for all hardware components with cyclical updating (cycle time is 20 seconds) if the Automatic Update
(20sec) field is marked.
To end the hardware test, click on Close. The dialog box is closed. The device becomes unavailable for a brief
start-up period immediately after this. Then all hardware components are returned to the operating conditions
determined by the plant settings.
General
If the device provides a breaker failure protection and if this is used, the integration of this protection function
in the system must be tested under practical conditions.
Due to the variety of application options and the available system configurations, it is not possible to make a
detailed description of the necessary tests. It is important to observe local conditions and protection and system
drawings.
Before starting the circuit breaker tests it is recommended to isolate the circuit breaker of the tested feeder at
both ends, i.e. line isolators and busbar isolators should be open so that the breaker can be operated without
risk.
Caution!
Also for tests on the local circuit breaker of the feeder a trip command to the surrounding circuit breakers can
be issued for the busbar.
Non–observance of the following measure can result in minor personal injury or property damage.
Therefore, primarily it is recommended to interrupt the tripping commands to the adjacent (busbar) breakers,
e.g. by interrupting the corresponding pickup voltages.
Before the breaker is finally closed for normal operation, the trip command of the feeder protection routed to
the circuit breaker must be disconnected so that the trip command can only be initiated by the breaker failure
protection.
Although the following lists do not claim to be complete, they may also contain points which are to be ignored
in the current application.
The circuit breaker auxiliary contact(s) form an essential part of the breaker failure protection system in case
they have been connected to the device. Make sure the correct assignment has been checked.
If the breaker failure protection can be started by external protection devices, the external start conditions must
be checked.
In order for the breaker failure protection to be started, a current must flow at least via the monitored phase.
This may be a secondary injected current.
• Start by trip command of the external protection: binary input functions „>50BF ext SRC“ (FNo 1431) (in
spontaneous or fault annunciations).
• After every start, the message „50BF ext Pickup“ (FNo 1457) must appear in the spontaneous or fault
annunciations.
• After time expiration TRIP-Timer (address 7005) tripping command of the circuit breaker failure protection.
Busbar Tripping
For testing the distribution of the trip commands in the substation in the case of breaker failures it is important
to check that the trip commands to the adjacent circuit breakers is correct.
The adjacent circuit breakers are those of all feeders which must be tripped in order to ensure interruption of
the fault current should the local breaker fail. These are therefore the circuit breakers of all feeders which feed
the busbar or busbar section to which the feeder with the fault is connected.
A general detailed test guide cannot be specified because the layout of the adjacent circuit breakers largely
depends on the system topology.
In particular with multiple busbars, the trip distribution logic for the adjacent circuit breakers must be checked.
Here it should be checked for every busbar section that all circuit breakers which are connected to the same
busbar section as the feeder circuit breaker under observation are tripped, and no other breakers.
Termination
All temporary measures taken for testing must be undone, e.g. especially switching states, interrupted trip com-
mands, changes to setting values or individually switched off protection functions.
CFC Logic
The device has a vast capability for allowing functions to be defined by the user, especially with the CFC logic.
Any special function or logic added to the device must be checked.
Of course, general test procedures cannot be given. Configuration of these functions and the target conditions
must be actually known beforehand and tested. Possible interlocking conditions of switching devices (circuit
breakers, disconnectors, ground switch) are of particular importance. They must be observed and tested.
≥ 10 % of Load Current
The connections of the current and voltage transformers are tested using primary quantities. Secondary load
current of at least 10 % of the nominal current of the device is necessary. The line is energized and will remain
in this state during the measurements.
With proper connections of the measuring circuits, none of the measured-values supervision elements in the
device should pick up. If an element detects a problem, the causes which provoked it may be viewed in the
Event Log.
Messages from the symmetry monitoring could occur because there actually are asymmetrical conditions in
the network. If these asymmetrical conditions are normal service conditions, the corresponding monitoring
functions should be made less sensitive.
Values
The currents can be seen in the display field at the front of the device or a PC via the operator interface. They
can be compared to the quantities measured by an independent source, as primary and secondary quantities.
If the measured values are not plausible, the connection must be checked and corrected after the line has been
isolated and the current transformer circuits have been short-circuited. The measurements must then be re-
peated.
Phase Rotation
The phase rotation must correspond to the configured phase rotation, in general a clockwise phase rotation. If
the system has an anti-clockwise phase rotation, this must have been considered when the power system data
was set (address 209 PHASE SEQ.). If the phase rotation is incorrect, the alarm (FNo ) is generated. The
measured value phase allocation must be checked and corrected, if required, after the line has been isolated
and current transformers have been short-circuited. The measurement must then be repeated.
Polarity of Transformers
When the device is used for high-impedance protection, the current at IN or INS is equivalent to the fault current
in the protected object. It is essential in this case that all current transformers feeding the resistor whose current
is measured at IN(S) have the same polarity. The test currents used for this are through currents. Each CT must
be included in a measurement. The current at IN(S) may never exceed half the pickup value of the single-phase
time overcurrent protection.
(only if used)
Testing reverse interlocking is available if at least one of the binary inputs available is configured for this
purpose (e.g. presetting of binary input BI1 „>BLOCK 50-2“ and „>BLOCK 50N-2“ to open circuit system).
Tests can be performed with phase currents or ground current. For ground current the corresponding ground
current settings apply.
Please note that the blocking function can either be configured for the pickup current connected (open circuit
system) or the pickup current missing (closed circuit system). For open circuit system the following tests are to
be proceeded:
The feeder protection relays of all associated feeders must be in operation. At the beginning no auxiliary
voltage is fed to the reverse interlocking system.
A test current higher than the pickup values of 50-2 PICKUP and 50-1 PICKUP or 51 PICKUP is set. As a
result of the missing blocking signal, the protection function trips after (short) time delay 50-2 DELAY.
Caution!
Tests with currents that exceed more than 4 times the nominal device current
Perform test only for a short time (see Technical Data, Section 4.1). Afterwards the device has to cool off !
The direct voltage for reverse interlocking is now switched on to the line. The precedent test is repeated, the
result will be the same.
Subsequently, at each of the protection devices of the feeders, a pickup is simulated. Meanwhile, another fault
is simulated for the protection function of the infeed, as described before. Tripping is performed within time 50-
1 DELAY (longer time period) (with definite time overcurrent protection) or according to characteristic (with
inverse time overcurrent protection).
These tests also check the proper functioning of the wiring for reverse interlocking.
After the termination of the RS485 port and the setting of the bus address have been verified according to
Section 3.2, the measured temperature values and thresholds can be checked.
If temperature sensors are used with 2-phase connection you must first determine the line resistance for the
temperature detector being short-circuited. Select mode 6 at the RTD-Box and enter the resistance value you
have determined for the corresponding sensor (range: 0 to 50.6 Ω).
When using the preset 3-phase connection for the temperature detectors no further entry must be made.
For checking the measured temperature values, the temperature detectors are replaced by adjustable resistors
(e.g. precision resistance decade) and the correct assignment of the resistance value and the displayed tem-
perature for 2 or 3 temperature values from the following table are verified.
Table 3-16 Assignment of the resistance value and the temperature of the sensors

Temperature thresholds that are configured in the protection device can be checked by slowly approaching the
resistance value.
If the configured operating devices were not switched sufficiently in the hardware test already described, all
configured switching devices must be switched on and off from the device via the integrated control element.
The feedback information of the circuit breaker position injected via binary inputs is read out at the device and
compared with the actual breaker position.
The switching procedure is described in the SIPROTEC 4 System Description. The switching authority must
be set according to the command source used. The switching mode can be selected from interlocked and non-
interlocked switching. Please note that non-interlocked switching can be a safety hazard.
For OPEN-commands sent to the circuit breaker please take into consideration that if the internal or external
automatic reclosure function is used a TRIP-CLOSE test cycle is initiated.
DANGER!
A test cycle successfully started by the automatic reclosure function can lead to the closing of the
circuit breaker !
Non-observance of the following statement will result in death, severe personal injury or substantial property
damage.
Be fully aware that OPEN-commands sent to the circuit breaker can result in a trip-close-trip event of the circuit
breaker by an external reclosing device.
If the device is connected to a remote substation via a system interface, the corresponding switching tests may
also be checked from the substation. Please also take into consideration that the switching authority is set in
correspondence with the source of commands used.
General
In order to be able to test the stability of the protection during switchon procedures also, switchon trials can also
be carried out at the end. Oscillographic records obtain the maximum information about the behaviour of the
protection.
Requirements
To be able to trip an oscillographic recording, parameter Osc Fault Rec. must be configured to Enabled in
the Functional Scope. Apart from the capability of storing fault recordings via pickup of the protection function,
the 7SJ61 also has the capability of initiating a measured value recording via the operator program DIGSI, the
serial interface or binary input. In the latter case, the information „>Trig.Wave.Cap.“ must be allocated to
a binary input. Triggering for the oscillographic recording then occurs, for instance, via the binary input when
the protection object is energized.
Those that are externally triggered (that is, without a protective element pickup) are processed by the device
as a normal oscillographic record. For each oscillographic record a fault record is created which is given its
individual number to ensure that assignment can be made properly. However, these recordings are not dis-
played in the fault indication buffer, as they are not fault events.
To trigger test measurement recording with DIGSI, click on Test in the left part of the window. Double click the
entry Test Wave Form in the list of the window.
Oscillographic recording is started immediately. During recording, a report is given in the left part of the status
bar. Bar segments additionally indicate the progress of the procedure.
The SIGRA or the Comtrade Viewer program is required to view and analyse the oscillographic data.
Firmly tighten all screws. Tighten all terminal screws, including those that are not used.
Caution!
Inadmissable Tightening Torques
Non–observance of the following measure can result in minor personal injury or property damage.
The tightening torques must not be exceeded as the threads and terminal chambers may otherwise be dam-
aged!
The settings should be checked again, if they were changed during the tests. Check if all protection, control
and auxiliary functions to be found with the configuration parameters are set correctly (Section 2.1.1, Functional
Scope) and all desired functions are set to ON. Keep a copy of all setting values on a PC.
Check the internal clock of the device. If necessary, set or synchronize the clock if it is not automatically syn-
chronized. For assistance, refer to the SIPROTEC 4 System Description.
The annunciation buffers are deleted under MAIN MENU → Annunciations → Set/Reset, so that future infor-
mation will only apply to actual events and states (see also SIPROTEC 4 System Description). The counters
in the switching statistics should be reset to the values that were existing prior to the testing (see also
SIPROTEC 4 System Description).
Reset the counter of the operational measured values (e.g. operation counter, if available) under MAIN MENU
→ Measured Values → Reset (also see SIPROTEC 4 System Description).
Press the ESC key (several times if necessary), to return to the default display. The default display appears in
the display box (e.g. the display of operational measured values).
Clear the LEDs on the front panel of the device by pressing the LED key, so that they show only real events
and states in the future. In this context, also output relays probably memorized are reset. Pressing the LED key
also serves as a test for the LEDs on the front panel because they should all light when the button is pushed.
Any LEDs that are lit after the clearing attempt are displaying actual conditions.
The green „RUN“ LED must light up, whereas the red „ERROR“ must not light up.
Close the protective switches. If test switches are available, then these must be in the operating position.

The device is designed for installation in normal relay rooms and plants, so that electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) is ensured if installation is done properly.
In addition, the following is recommended:
• All contacts and relays that operate in the same cubicle, cabinet, or relay panel as the numerical protective
device should, as a rule, be equipped with suitable surge suppression components.
• For substations with operating voltages of 100 kV and above, all external cables should be shielded with a
conductive shield grounded at both ends. For substations with lower operating voltages, no special mea-
sures are normally required.
• Do not withdraw or insert individual modules or boards while the protective device is energized. In with-
drawn condition, some components are electrostatically endangered; during handling the ESD standards
(for Electrostatic Sensitive Devices) must be observed. They are not endangered when inserted into the
case.

Additional Limits
1)
When the limit is exceeded, an error message is output by the device. Consequently, the device starts mon-
itoring. The red ERROR-LED lights up.
2)
The following condition applies for the maximum number of timers: (2 · number of TIMER + number of
TIMER_SHORT) < 30. TIMER and TIMER_SHORT hence share the available timer resources within the
frame of this inequation. The limit does not apply to the LONG_TIMER.
3) The time values for the blocks TIMER and TIMER_SHORT must not be selected shorter than the time res-
olution of the device, as the blocks will not then start with the starting pulse.
1) When the sum of TICKS of all blocks exceeds the limits before-mentioned, an error message is output by
CFC.

The GOOSE communication service of IEC 61850 is qualified for switchgear interlocking The runtime of
GOOSE messages with the protection relay picked up depends on the number of connected IEC 61850 cli-
ents.
As from version V4.6 of the devices, applications with protective functions have to be checked with regard to
their required runtime. In individual cases, the manufacturer has to be consulted with regard to the require-
ments to ensure that the application functions safely.

0201. This also reverses the polarity of current input INs. When using a cable-type current transformer, the con-
nection of k and l at Q8 and Q7 must be changed.

The requirements for phase current transformers are usually determined by the overcurrent time protection,
particularly by the high-current element settings. Besides, there is a minimum requirement based on experi-
ence.
The standards IEC 60044-6, BS 3938 and ANSI/IEEE C 57.13 are referred to for converting the requirement
into the knee-point voltage and other transformer classes.

General
The requirements to the cable core balance current transformer are determined by the function „sensitive
ground fault detection“.

For extremely small ground fault currents it may become necessary to correct the angle at the device (see func-
tion description of „sensitive ground fault detection“).
When the device leaves the factory, a large number of LED indications, binary inputs and outputs as well as
function keys are already preset. They are summarised in the following table.

In devices with 4-line displays and depending on the device version, a number of predefined measured value
pages are available. The start page of the default display appearing after startup of the device can be selected
in the device data via parameter 640 Start image DD.

The spontaneous annunciations serve to display the most important data about a fault. They appear automat-
ically in the display after general interrogation of the device, in the sequence shown in the following figure.
Some CFC Charts are already supplied with the SIPROTEC device.
The NEGATOR block assigns the input signal "DataStop" directly to an output. This is not directly possible
without the interconnection of this block.
Set points MV
Using modules on the running sequence ”measured value processing", a low current monitor for the three
phase currents is implemented. The output message is set high as soon as one of the three phase currents
falls below the set threshold:
Using modules on the running sequence ”measured value processing", an additional overcurrent monitor is im-
plemented.

Addresses which have an appended "A" can only be changed with DIGSI, under "Display Additional Settings".
The table indicates region-specific default settings. Column C (configuration) indicates the corresponding sec-
ondary nominal current of the current transformer.
Indications for IEC 60 870-5-103 are always reported ON / OFF if they are subject to general interrogation for
IEC 60 870-5-103. If not, they are reported only as ON.
New user-defined indications or such newly allocated to IEC 60 870-5-103 are set to ON / OFF and subjected
to general interrogation if the information type is not a spontaneous event („.._Ev“). Further information with
regard to the indications is set out in the SIPROTEC 4 System Description, Order No. E50417-H1100-C151.

Battery
The buffer battery ensures that specified data areas, flags, timers and counters are retained retentively.
Bay controllers
Bay controllers are devices with control and monitoring functions without protective functions.
Bit pattern indication is a processing function by means of which items of digital process information applying
across several inputs can be detected together in parallel and processed further. The bit pattern length can be
specified as 1, 2, 3 or 4 bytes.
BP_xx
→ Bit pattern indication (Bitstring Of x Bit), x designates the length in bits (8, 16, 24 or 32 bits).
C_xx
CF_xx
CFC
Continuous Function Chart. CFC is a graphics editor with which a program can be created and configured by
using ready-made blocks.
CFC blocks
Blocks are parts of the user program delimited by their function, their structure or their purpose.
Chatter blocking
A rapidly intermittent input (for example, due to a relay contact fault) is switched off after a configurable moni-
toring time and can thus not generate any further signal changes. The function prevents overloading of the
system when a fault arises.
Combination devices
Combination devices are bay devices with protection functions and a control display.
Combination matrix
DIGSI V4.6 and higher allows up to 32 compatible SIPROTEC 4 devices to communicate with each other in an
inter-relay communication network (IRC). The combination matrix defines which devices exchange which in-
formation.
Communication branch
Communication reference CR
The communication reference describes the type and version of a station in communication by PROFIBUS.
Component view
In addition to a topological view, SIMATIC Manager offers you a component view. The component view does
not offer any overview of the hierarchy of a project. It does, however, provide an overview of all the SIPROTEC
4 devices within a project.
COMTRADE
Common Format for Transient Data Exchange, format for fault records.
Container
If an object can contain other objects, it is called a container. The object Folder is an example of such a con-
tainer.
Control display
The image which is displayed on devices with a large (graphic) display after pressing the control key is called
control display. It contains the switchgear that can be controlled in the feeder with status display. It is used to
perform switching operations. Defining this diagram is part of the configuration.
Data pane
→ The right-hand area of the project window displays the contents of the area selected in the → navigation
window, for example indications, measured values, etc. of the information lists or the function selection for the
device configuration.
DCF77
The extremely precise official time is determined in Germany by the "Physikalisch-Technischen-Bundesanstalt
PTB" in Braunschweig. The atomic clock unit of the PTB transmits this time via the long-wave time-signal trans-
mitter in Mainflingen near Frankfurt/Main. The emitted time signal can be received within a radius of approx.

sampled after a data loss by means of a GI.
GOOSE message
GOOSE messages (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event) in accordance with IEC 61850 are data pack-
ages that are transmitted cyclically and event-controlled via the Ethernet communication system. They serve
for direct information exchange among the relays. This mechanism facilitates cross-communication between
bay devices.

Global Positioning System. Satellites with atomic clocks on board orbit the earth twice a day in different parts
in approx. 20,000 km. They transmit signals which also contain the GPS universal time. The GPS receiver de-
termines its own position from the signals received. From its position it can derive the running time of a satellite
and thus correct the transmitted GPS universal time.
Ground

HV field description
The HV project description file contains details of fields which exist in a ModPara project. The actual field infor-
mation of each field is memorized in a HV field description file. Within the HV project description file, each field
is allocated such a HV field description file by a reference to the file name.
HV project description
All data are exported once the configuration and parameterization of PCUs and sub-modules using ModPara
has been completed. This data is split up into several files. One file contains details about the fundamental
project structure. This also includes, for example, information detailing which fields exist in this project. This file
is called a HV project description file.

Reorganizing
Frequent addition and deletion of objects creates memory areas that can no longer be used. By cleaning up
projects, you can release these memory areas. However, a clean up also reassigns the VD addresses. As a
consequence, all SIPROTEC 4 devices need to be reinitialized.

SIPROTEC 4 device
This object type represents a real SIPROTEC 4 device with all the setting values and process data it contains.
SIPROTEC 4 variant
This object type represents a variant of an object of type SIPROTEC 4 device. The device data of this variant
may well differ from the device data of the source object. However, all variants derived from the source object
have the same VD address as the source object. For this reason, they always correspond to the same real
SIPROTEC 4 device as the source object. Objects of type SIPROTEC 4 variant have a variety of uses, such
as documenting different operating states when entering parameter settings of a SIPROTEC 4 device.
Slave
A slave may only exchange data with a master after being prompted to do so by the master. SIPROTEC 4
devices operate as slaves.
