Protection
Description

Current protection functions
ANSI 50/51 - Phase overcurrent
Three-phase protection against overloads and phase-
to-phase short-circuits. The protection function
comprises four units:
b definite time (DT)
b IDMT (16 types of IDMT curves)
b instantaneous or time-delayed.
Each unit has a reset time setting that allows:
b detection of restriking faults
b coordination with electromechanical relays.
ANSI 50V/51V - Voltage-restrained overcurrent
Three-phase protection against overloads and phase-
to-phase short-circuits, suited to generator protection,
for which the tripping set point is adjusted according to
the voltage.
It may be set as follows:
ANSI 50N/51N or 50G/51G - Earth fault or sensitive
earth fault
Protection against earth faults.
Earth faults may be detected according to parameter
setting based on:
b the three phase currents (3I sum)
b a specific CSH120 or CSH200 core balance CT
according to the required diameter; this method gives
greater sensitivity. The parameterizable choice of
ratings provides a very wide range of settings.
b a current transformer (1 A or 5 A), combined with a
CSH30 interposing ring CT.
The protection comprises four units:
It also has harmonic 2 restraint to ensure stability
during transformer energizing.
ANSI 50 BF - Breaker failure
Backup protection that delivers a tripping order to the
upstream or adjacent breakers should the breaker that
is being commanded fail to trip, detected by
measurement of the through current after a tripping
order.
ANSI 46 - Negative sequence / unbalance
Protection against phase unbalance.
Sensitive protection to detect 2-phase faults at the end
of long lines.
Protection of equipment against temperature build-up
cause by an unbalanced supply or the inversion or loss
of a phase and against phase current unbalance. IDMT
or definite time characteristics.
Directional current protection functions
ANSI 67 - Directional phase overcurrent
This protection function is three-phase. It comprises a phase overcurrent function
associated with direction detection. It picks up if the phase overcurrent function in the
chosen direction (line or busbar) is activated for at least one of the three phases. It
operates as definite time or IDMT. It is insensitive to the loss of measurement voltage
at the time of the fault.
ANSI 67N/67NC - Directional earth fault
It has 2 types of characteristics:
b type 1, projection
b type 2, according to I0 vector magnitude.
It can operate on impedant, isolated or compensated neutral systems.
The type 1 units allow the detection of restriking faults.
The protection function comprises two units:
b IDMT (16 types of IDMT curves) (type 2 only)
The type 2 units have a reset time setting that allows:
Directional power protection functions
ANSI 32P - Directional active overpower
This protection function is activated if the power flowing in one direction or the other,
according to the application (supplied or absorbed), is greater than the set point.
ANSI 32Q/40 - Directional reactive overpower
This protection function may be used to detect synchronous machine (generator or
motor) field loss.
The protection function is activated if the reactive power flowing in one direction or
the other, according to the application (supplied or absorbed), is greater than the set
point.
Machine protection functions
ANSI 49RMS - Thermal overload
Protection of equipment against thermal damage caused by overloads.
The protection may be inhibited by a logic input when required by process control
conditions.
The thermal capacity used is calculated according to a mathematical model which
takes into account:
b current RMS values
b ambient temperature
b negative sequence current, a cause of motor rotor temperature rise.
The protection function comprises 2 groups of settings, each of which includes:
b an adjustable alarm set point
b an adjustable trip set point
b the initial thermal capacity used setting, in order to accurately adapt the protection
characteristics to fit the equipments thermal withstand curves supplied by the
manufacturer.
b the equipments heating and cooling time constants.
Sepam series 40 has a function that automatically calculates the cooling time
constant based on measurement of the equipment temperature by a sensor.
Application for a transformer:
switching of groups of settings by a logic input according to the transformer
ventilation operating rate, natural or forced (ONAN or ONAF).
Application for a motor:
switching of groups of settings according to a current set point to take into account
the thermal withstand of the motor with a blocked rotor.

Control and monitoring
Description
Sepam performs the basic control and monitoring functions necessary for the
operation of the electrical network, thereby reducing the need for auxiliary relays.
The control and monitoring functions may be parameterized using the SFT2841
software tool, however each type of Sepam has parameter setting by default which
allows easier commissioning in the most frequent applications.
ANSI 94/69 - Circuit breaker/contactor control
Sepam is used to control breaking devices equipped with different types of closing
and tripping coils:
b circuit breakers with shunt trip or undervoltage trip units
b latching contactors with shunt trip units.
The breaking device control function processes all the circuit breaker closing and
tripping conditions based on:
b breaking device status information
b remote control orders
b protection functions
b program logic specific to each application (e.g. recloser).
This function also inhibits breaking device closing according to the operating
conditions.
With Sepam series 20, it is necessary to use an MES114 module in order to have all
the required logic inputs.
Switching of groups of settings
Used to switch from one group of phase overcurrent and earth fault protection
settings to another group of settings. Switching may be performed by a logic input or
via the communication link.
Inhibition of thermal protection
Thermal protection tripping may be inhibited via a logic input.
Re-acceleration
Allows a logic input to take into account the restarting of an unstopped motor.
ANSI 68 - Logic discrimination (SSL)
This function allows quick, selective tripping of the definite time or IDMT phase
overcurrent and earth fault protection relays, without requiring the use of time
intervals between upstream and downstream protection devices. The downstream
relay transmits a blocking input signal if the protection device set points are
exceeded.
The upstream relay receives the blocking input signal on the logic input used for the
inhibition function. A saving mechanism ensures the operation of the protection in the
event of an inhibition link failure.
ANSI 86 - Latching / acknowledgment
Output relay latching may be parameterized. Latched tripping orders are stored and
must be acknowledged in order for the device to be put back into service. The user
acknowledges via the keypad or remotely via a logic input or the communication link.
Latching is stored in the event of a power outage.
Trip circuit supervision
Detects trip circuit faults (shunt trip units). Detects open/closed position discrepancy
faults (undervoltage trip units).
Watchdog
Indicates Sepam unavailability via output O4.
Output relay test
This function is used to activate each output relay.

3 modules are offered, MES114, MES114E or MES114F, to suit the different input
voltage supply ranges.
The modules offer different switching thresholds as well.
The MES114 module is fully compatible with the MES108 (4 input/4 output) module

Logic input / output assignment
for Sepam series 20 applications

Chart of logic input and output assignments
The use of the preset control and monitoring functions requires exclusive parameter
setting and particular wiring of the inputs according to the application and type of
Sepam. Input assignment and parameter setting of the control and monitoring
functions may be done on the advanced UMI or using the SFT2841 software tool.
Since a current input may only be assigned to a single function, not all the functions
are available at the same time.
Example: when the logic discimination function is used, the switching of groups of
settings function may not be used.

CLP1 LPCT sensors
CLP1 sensors are voltage-output current sensors of the Low Power Current
Transducer (LPCT) type, compliant with the IEC 60044-8 standard.
CLP1 sensors are designed to measure rated currents between 25 A and 1250 A,
with a ratio of 100 A / 22.5 mV, and may be used on networks with a maximum of
17.5 kV.
The secondary winding of the CLP1 sensor is pre-equipped with a 5-m long shielded
cable fitted with an RJ45 connector, which is connected to the 9-pin sub-D connector
on Sepam via a CCA670 interface connector, mounted on the rear panel of the
Sepam base unit.
