4.4.1 Three-stage Overcurrent Protection

The device is configured with three-stage overcurrent protection with low-voltage interlocking.
The three stages of protection are independently configured, and the protection logic is the same.
Explanation of directional elements:
SAU-300 User Manual A01 12
 SINENG Electric Co., Ltd.
The device specifies that the positive direction is from the busbar to the line, The directional
elements adopt a 90°connection(𝐼𝑎 → 𝑈𝑏𝑐 /𝐼𝑏 → 𝑈𝑐𝑎 /𝐼𝑐 → 𝑈𝑎𝑏 ), The positive direction characteristic
equation is as follows (maximum error range in parentheses):
Ir e  j 45


 
 90 (10 )  arg  90  (10  )

Ur
In the equation: 𝐼𝑏̇ and𝑈̇𝑟 represent the current and voltage quantities corresponding to the 90°
connection method respectively.
The voltage restoration interlocking component is subjected to PT disconnection interlocking.
When a PT disconnection occurs in a branch, the selection of whether to interlock the voltage
restoration component can be made through the "PT disconnection interlocking protection" setting.
When the "PT disconnection interlocking protection" is activated, the current protection will
directly trip upon "PT disconnection alarm";
When the "PT disconnection interlocking protection" is deactivated, the directional current
protection will switch to pure overcurrent protection upon "PT disconnection alarm".
The specific logic diagram is as shown in the following figure:

Three-stage overcurrent protection is designed to protect against short-circuit faults, while
overload protection has setpoints much lower than those of overcurrent protection but higher than
normal load levels to prevent equipment from operating in overload conditions. When overcurrent
protection fails to operate for some reason, overload protection can act as a backup protection for
overcurrent protection.

4.4.10 PT disconnection alarm

Bus PT disconnection check uses criteria such as line voltage drop and negative sequence voltage
rise. An alarm is triggered after a delay of 10 seconds. The negative sequence voltage is calculated
by the software from the three-phase voltages.
When a phase is disconnected, the PT's abnormality can be determined if Max(𝐼𝑎 、𝐼𝑏 、𝐼𝑐 ) is
greater than 0.04𝐼𝑛 (adjustable).

4.4.11 CT disconnection alarm

CT disconnection alarm is determined by zero sequence current and zero sequence voltage. An
alarm is triggered after a delay of 10 seconds.
During normal operation, the sum of the three-phase currents is zero. When the CT is
disconnected, the sum of the three-phase currents is not zero, and the current of the disconnected
phase is zero. To exclude line faults, the zero sequence voltage must be zero.

4.4.12 Non-electrical protection

The device supports up to 30 groups of non-electrical inputs, labeled as Non-electrical 1 to 30.
During program initialization, the specified input dry contacts (DI) can be associated with the inputs
either through configuration or hard-coding.
When the corresponding non-electrical protection is activated, and the trigger conditions for
Non-electrical 1 are met, the protection action will be executed after the necessary delay. This
function can only be triggered if both circuit breakers in the two branches are in the closed position;
otherwise, the non-electrical protection will be interlocked.
If the trigger signal persists, the output signal will remain active. After the trigger signal
disappears, it needs to be reset before the trip signal or alarm signal can be cleared.

5.1 Centralized photovoltaic grid scenario

This solution seamlessly integrates with our inverters, allowing power to be emergency
controlled within milliseconds compared to traditional ground stations. It supports more than 10
RS485 interfaces with electrical isolation, enabling a greater number of devices to be connected more
stably.
We recommend using switches from the same brand for both the sub-array ring switch and the
control room switch, ensuring a more stable and reliable network.
It supports multiple master stations simultaneously, such as solar power prediction, AGC master-
slave machines, AVC master-slave machines, centralized control centers, and fast frequency servers.
It is recommended not to exceed 12 devices per RS485 bus.

blue, green, white brown, brown.
2. The network cable uses Super Category 5 cable.
3. The length of the network cable does not exceed 80m.
4. To ensure the reliability of the network cable connection, it is recommended to use CAT 5E
outdoor shielded network cable and shielded crystal head.

2.6 Voltage and current sampling lines

Voltage sampling lines should be connected to the tubular cold-pressed terminal before insertion
into the terminal. The cable requirements are 24~8 AWG.
Current sampling lines should be connected to the U-shaped cold-pressed terminal before
insertion. The wire pressing range is 18~12 AWG.
Specifications for the U-shaped terminal are as follows:

For three-phase three-wire voltage sampling line connection, the N phase and B phase should be
shorted.

Chapter 5 Product Maintenance

This chapter describes the maintenance of the SAU300, including the maintenance cycle and
maintenance methods. Be sure to read the instructions in this section carefully before maintenance.

Danger

Only professionals can maintain the SAU300, others can not operate!

Warning

Be sure to use qualified spare parts supplied by our company. If the use of spare parts supplied by
our company causes damage to the equipment, it has nothing to do with our company.

Danger

In order to ensure the safety of maintenance personnel, it is not allowed to touch any live parts of the
data collector while the data collector is running, and it is necessary to check the grounding point of
the product frequently for reliable connection.

Danger

After the data collector is completely powered down, the hazardous voltage still exists in the
product! Please wait 1 minute before maintaining the product!

1. Periodic Inspection
The periodic inspection and maintenance of the data collector can confirm the status of the SAU200
in time to improve the reliability of the product. It is recommended to perform periodic inspection
every three months to confirm whether the working environment is normal, check whether the RS485
and dry contact wiring are reliable, whether the cable connection terminal is loosened, check whether
the RS485 cable shielding layer is reliably grounded, and check whether the equipment enclosure is
well grounded.

2. Daily Maintenance
Check whether the RS485 and dry contact wirings are reliable, whether the cable connection terminal
is loosened, check whether the RS485 cable shielding layer is reliably grounded, and check whether
the equipment enclosure is well grounded.

Warning

Unauthorized removal of the data collector enclosure may result in equipment damage. This type of
equipment damage has nothing to do with our company!
