2. Safety information
Dangerous voltages can occur on the connectors, even though
the auxiliary voltage has been disconnected.
Non-observance can result in death, personal injury or
substantial property damage.
Only a competent electrician is allowed to carry out the electrical
installation.
National and local electrical safety regulations must always be
followed.
The frame of the device has to be carefully earthed.

The device contains components which are sensitive to


electrostatic discharge. Unnecessary touching of electronic
components must therefore be avoided.
Breaking the sealing tape on the rear panel of the device will
result in loss of warranty and proper operation will no longer be
guaranteed.

3. Introduction
This document provides descriptions of the standard configurations for REX 521.
Chapter 4. Standard configurations describes the features of the different standard
configurations one by one while Chapters 5 to 7 describe the signal routings and
functionality. A short introduction of the function blocks available in different
standard configurations of REX 521 is given in Chapter 8. Function block
descriptions. Chapter 9. Example substations, Chapter 10. Application examples,
Basic, Chapter 11. Application examples, Medium, and Chapter 12. Application
examples, High present different application examples.
The standard configurations available are presented in Table 3.-1. Note that in the
function block descriptions in the CD-ROM Technical Descriptions of Functions
(see Related documents), the ABB standard FB names are used instead of the IEC
or ANSI names.
Hardware (HW) versions for REX 521 are basic, medium, high and sensor. The
sensor variant of the standard configuration is indicated with the letter ‘S’ in the
Config. name parameter, for example H02S.

Differences between REX 521 and RED 500 platform in the


function block descriptions
The REX 521 and the RED 500 platform differ in some respects concerning the
function block descriptions in the CD-ROM Technical Descriptions of Functions
(see Section 1.3. Related documents). Firstly, there are some terms that refer to other
products than REX 521. Secondly, there are a few characteristics that appear only in
REX 521:
• Event mask 1 is only for SPA communication.
• The direct control of the autoreclose function has been disabled.
• A limited number of inputs and outputs are used in standard configurations of
REX 521.

4.3.7.2. Application
The H07 standard configuration for REX 521 is designed for protection of large or
medium-size three-phase AC motors in circuit breaker controlled motor drives. Due
to large number of protective functions integrated, the relay provides a complete
protection against motor damage caused by electrical faults.
The H07 configuration can also be applied to other objects needing thermal overload
protection (such as power transformers) and it can also be used in applications
requiring overcurrent protection, under/overvoltage protection and/or directional or
non-directional earth-fault protection.
For more information about the H07 standard configuration, refer to application
example in Section 12.7. Motor protection, High H07/H51.

4.3.11.2. Application
The H51 standard configuration for REX 521 is designed for protection of large or
medium-size three-phase AC motors in circuit breaker controlled motor drives. Due
to the large number of protective functions integrated, the relay provides a complete
protection against motor damage caused by electrical faults.
The H51 configuration can be applied to other objects that need thermal overload
protection (such as power transformers). It can also be used in applications requiring
overcurrent protection, directional overcurrent protection, under/overvoltage
protection, directional or non-directional earth-fault protection, underfrequency
protection and/or overfrequency protection.
For more information about the H51 standard configuration, refer to the application
example in Section 12.7. Motor protection, High H07/H51.

5. Reading of the overview diagrams of the signal


routings
The signals in a standard configuration can be programmed to perform various
functions. Digital inputs can be connected to the different input signals (for example
Blocking 1) by using selectors. Input signals can be routed to output relays (for
example HSPO1) directly or they can be connected via the input switchgroups to
inputs of the function block in order to perform different kinds of functions. This is
done by setting the value of the input switchgroups.
Output signals of the function blocks can be connected to the output relays by first
selecting the needed output signals from the function blocks, for example, Trip 1
(3I>, 3I>> and so on) by the output switchgroups and then connecting the selected
group of signals to the dedicated output relays by setting the Output signal
selector.
Analogue signals are connected to the corresponding protection and measurement
function blocks. Analogue signals are not presented in the overview diagrams of the
signal routings.

5.1. Digital inputs


Digital inputs (DI1...DI9) can be connected to the inputs of the function block in
order to obtain different functionalities. For example, digital inputs are used for
performing blocking of protection, external triggering of disturbance recorder and
local control.
Any of the digital inputs (DI1...DI9) can be programmed from menu selection to
invert the signal and to set the predelay (filtering). For more information, refer to
section “Digital inputs” in Technical Reference Manual, General
(see Section 1.3. Related documents).

71
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The routings between the digital inputs and different functionalities are set with
selectors and switchgroups (SWGRP) for each functionality respectively. Settings
are done with the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) or with the Relay Setting Tool.

5.4. Other functions described in signal overview diagrams

5.4.1. Lockout function


The lockout function is used for increasing the safety when performing control
operations. The lockout function can be reset by using the input selector to connect
one of the digital inputs (DI1...DI9) to the Lockout reset signal.
Note that the trip indication LED cannot be cleared with push buttons [C] or [C] +
[E] until lockout reset occurs.

A051961

Fig. 5.4.1.-1 Lockout function in the block diagrams of the standard


configurations
In the figure above (Fig. 5.4.1.-1) the Lockout working signal is connected
internally to the CLOSEENA input of the COCB function block in order to activate
the interlocking. This means that it is not allowed to perform control operations in
case the lockout function is active.
The lockout function can be used in two different ways:
The first option is to use the HSPO1 output to perform the lockout function. The
Lockout HSPO1 selector is used for activating the forced latching. The latched
output relay can only be reset via a digital input. The idea is to have an external
switch which needs to be reset before the CB close operation is allowed. For
example, a motor feeder has tripped and it is necessary to avoid the re-energizing of
the motor before its temperature has cooled down to an acceptable level.

Another option (see Fig. 5.4.1.-3) is to use the lockout function to connect the CB
close control wiring in series with one of the power output relays by selecting
lockout signal as an option for the desired output relay, for example PO1. This is
done by selecting lockout for the corresponding output signal selector.

Fig. 5.4.1.-3 Lockout function via power output relay


Note that when the lockout function is in use and an auxiliary power failure occurs,
the output relays return to off-state. The same happens in a situation where external
lockout is used with the output relays PO1, PO2, PO3, SO11 and SO21 and the
auxiliary power failure occurs. When the protection relay has been powered up
again, the output relay states are restored to the state before the power failure and the
output relay used for the lockout function is energized. If the lockout function is used
with the HSPO1 relay, the control of the breaker could be possible when the
auxiliary power of the protection relay is not connected.
To ensure maximum safety when using the lockout function, it is recommended to
use a battery unit as an auxiliary power. Then the fault in the protected object does
not effect the auxiliary supply of the protection relay and the state of the lockout
function is safely stored in the protection relay’s memory.

5.4.2. HSPO1 Open logic


The Open signal can be configured to any output relay, as in Fig. 5.4.2.-1. When this
is done, the logic automatically prevents the Open signal from passing through to
HSPO1, as in Fig. 5.4.2.-2. If the Open signal is not connected to an output relay, it
passes through the logic to HSPO1. This is the case by default.

5.4.3. Frequency protection logic, H50 and H51


The frequency protection logic is used to avoid unnecessary trips when the system
transitory oscillates. Oscillation appears when a heavy load is connected to a system.
The oscillation depends on the quality of the power transmission and the type of
system load.

80
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The df/dt function detects the oscillation. Basically, the frequency protection signal
is activated when the frequency is stable and the set frequency limit has been
exceeded. Here stable means that df/dt has not detected any oscillation during a
certain period of time. The period of time is set in Configuration/Special
settings/f prot. delay.

5.4.3.1. Functional description


If either of the two Start2 signals is high, the frequency protection signal is low
regardless of the f1 Trip1 signal status. The delay time starts when both the f1 Start2
and f2 Start2 signals are low. The f prot. signal is activated when the delay time has
elapsed, assuming that the f1 Trip1 is high. If either of the f1 Start2 or f2 Start2
signals are activated during the delay time, the delay time is reset, see Fig. 5.4.3.1.-1.

protection delay time in order to activate the f prot. signal. Furthermore, the f1Trip
signal also has to be high.

5.4.3.2. Example of usage


The following example describes how to configure the frequency protection blocks
f1 and f2 to activate the f prot. signal.
The frequency protection signal is activated if df/dt has not detected any oscillation
for a certain time and the operate time1 for f1 Trip1 has elapsed.
The signals f1 Trip2 and f2 Trip2 should be routed to the trip relay (as they are by
default). This means that the relay will trip if a fast continuous rise or fall of the
frequency occurs. The desired operating time can be set by the parameter Operate
time2 in f1 and f2.

Table 5.4.3.2-1 Example setting of the frequency protection signal usage


Settings
f1 Operating mode = f1</f> and df/dt>
f2 Operating mode = f1</f> and df/dt<
f1 Operate time 1 = 0.2 s
f1 and f2 Set start frequency = 48.5 Hz
f1 and f2 df/dt =10 Hz/s
Configuration/special settings/f prot.delay = 100 ms
Rated frequency = 50 Hz
Signal status
Frequency df/dt f. prot
> 48.5Hz No influence Low
< 48.5Hz < 10 Hz/s for < 100 ms Low
< 48.5Hz > 10 Hz/s Low
< 48.5Hz < 10 Hz/s for > 100 ms High

The f. prot signal is not routed to any output relay by default. To enable this signal
it must be routed to any of the outputs.

5.4.4. Voltage-dependent overcurrent protection, H50 and H51


The voltage-dependent overcurrent protection logic can be taken into use when the
actual fault current is smaller than the normal load current. It is possible to use the
normal voltage level to block the overcurrent protection, abnormal voltage level
unblocks overcurrent protection.

Fig. 6.-1 Overview of the selector options

6.1. Selectors

6.1.1. Reset
Selectors Reset 1 and Reset 2 can be programmed to connect any of the inputs
DI1...DI9 to reset the latched trip signal and the recorded data of the functions (for
example O/C, E/F, Iub>, 3Ith>, PQ 3Inf 1).

6.1.2. Group
Group is used for switching between the setting groups 1 and 2 of the protection
functions.

6.1.3. Blocking
Selectors BS1 and BS2 can be programmed to block the operation of the functions
(for example 3I>, 3I>>, 3I>>> etc.1).

6.1.4. Disturbance recorder trigger


Any of the inputs DI1...DI9 can be used to start the disturbance recorder to record
measurements.

1. Standard configuration specific.

85
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

6.1.5. Power quality trigger


Any of the inputs DI1...DI9 can be used to start the power quality recording
measurements.

6.1.6. Master trip


An external trip signal can be routed to the heavy duty tripping contact via
DI1...DI9. (The Master trip function bypasses the interlocking sequence.)
Master trip can be utilized by using the input selector Master trip to connect one of
the digital inputs (DI1...DI9) to the high speed tripping relay (HSPO1).

6.1.7. External trip


An additional external trip signal can be routed to the output relays PO1...PO3 and
SO1...SO2 (The external trip function bypasses the blocking sequence).

6.1.8. Lockout reset


Any DI1...DI9 can be programmed to reset the Lockout function.

6.1.9. Local/Remote
Any of the digital inputs can be used for activating the local mode of the relay if the
Local/Remote selection is set to “external input”. In local position, the circuit
breaker can be controlled via the binary inputs and the HMI but not through a
communication port. In remote position, the circuit breaker can be controlled only
through a communication port.

6.1.10. Close enable


DI1...DI9 can be used for giving the permission to close the circuit breaker. For
example, SF6 gas low indication signal can be used to block the close operation of
the CB (The Close command can be activated either via the digital inputs, the HMI
or through the communication port).

6.1.11. Direct control (Open/Close)


DI...DI9 can be used for controlling the circuit breaker.

When using digital inputs to control the circuit breaker, the inputs
must be activated with a pulse. Otherwise, if the input remains
activated, a position change from remote to local can cause an
immediate opening or closing of the circuit breaker

6.1.12. Object indication


Object indication is used to collect object status indications to MicroSCADA. The
interlocking logic also uses the logical states of the digital inputs (according to the
selected interlocking option).
The transferring of object status indication data to MicroSCADA is achieved by
using the I<->O IND1 and I<->O IND2 function blocks.

6.1.13. Time synchronization


Digital input 9 can be used as a GPS time synchronization input.

6.1.14. AR inhibit, AR on input, start AR


The autoreclose function O-->I can be started, inhibited or turned on via DI1...DI9.1

6.1.15. BACTRL (Basic angle control)


The basic angle of the directional earth-fault protection depends on the earthing
principle of the network. Basic angle can be changed via control signal BACTRL. 1

6.1.16. Logic input 1...3


The logical inputs 1...3 are part of the interlocking options for close enabling of the
breaker. These signals can be connected to any of the digital inputs DI1...DI9 and
they can get indication from such signals as SF6 gas alarm, spring charge etc. (see
Fig. 6.2.1.-5).

6.2. Interlocking
Closing the circuit breaker (CB) is permitted by the CLOSEENA input of the
I<->O CB1 function block. Different kinds of logics for permitting close operations
can be built by using the interlocking logic described in Fig. 6.2.-1 and
Fig. 6.2.1.-4.
The logic states of an earth switch (ES), a disconnector (DC), and general digital
inputs (DI1...DI9) can be used together with the interlocking logic in Fig. 6.2.-1.

6.2.1. Interlocking options


The interlocking options include only the closing of the circuit breaker. The opening
of the circuit breaker is always allowed. The settings are made via the HMI or the
Relay Setting Tool in a menu (Main menu\Configuration\Input
Signals\Close enable) where it is possible to manually set the interlocking
to TRUE or to Not connected (FALSE).

1. Standard configuration specific.

Using a digital input directly


One of the digital inputs (DI1...DI9) can be selected directly to permit close
operations. Use the selector named Close enable in the relay menu or the Relay
Setting Tool to select the input. Furthermore, an input activation delay and inversion
can be selected from the general digital input settings menu. Observe that the logical
state 1 enables and the logical state 0 disables closing of the circuit breaker.
Using earth-switch state (disconnector state not available)
If the status indication signals of the earth switch are connected to the digital inputs
and routed to ES pos. open and ES pos. close, these indications can be included in
the interlocking scheme. The signal marked “Interlocking_A” will be logical 0 when
the earth switch is closed and logical 1 when the earth switch is open. Use this signal
to enable close operations by selecting “Interlocking_A” in the Close enable
selector.

If the status indication signals of the disconnector are connected to the digital inputs
and routed to DC pos. open and DC pos. close, these indications can be included in
the interlocking scheme. The signal marked “Interlocking_A” will be logical 1 when
the disconnector is closed and logical 0 when the disconnector is open. Use this
signal to enable close operations by selecting “Interlocking_A” in the Close
enable selector.

If both the disconnector and the earth-switch indications are available and routed to
DC pos. open, DC pos. close, ES pos. open and ES pos. close, these indications can
be included in the interlocking scheme. The signal marked “Interlocking_A” will be
logical 1 when the disconnector is closed or the earth switch is open. The signal
marked “Interlocking_B” will be logical 1 when the disconnector is closed and the
earth switch is open. Use any of these two signals to enable close operations by
selecting either “Interlocking_A” or “Interlocking_B” in the Close enable
selector.

Fig. 6.2.1.-3 Interlocking using disconnector and/or earth-switch state


Using disconnector, earth-switch and logical inputs
In the cases mentioned above, additional signals, such as SF6 gas low, may be used
to block close operations. Then, these signals should be connected to the
interlocking template using the logic inputs 1...3 (Logic_inpX) selectors. By
selecting “Interlocking_C”, “Interlocking_D” or “Interlocking_E” in the Close
enable selector, different AND/ OR conditions can be created.
Examples:
• DC or ES and “Logic_inpX” = “Interlocking_C”
• DC and ES and “Logic_inpX” = “Interlocking_D”
• “Logic_inp1” and “Logic_inp2” and “Logic_inp3” = “Interlocking_E”
In addition to the ones mentioned here, many different kinds of interlocking schemes
can be built by using the selectors to connect digital inputs, inversion to create AND/
OR logic and selecting different interlocking outputs (A...E). See Fig. 6.2.1.-4 for a
complete block diagram.

8. Function block descriptions


The information in this chapter is adapted from the function block descriptions in
the CD-ROM Technical Descriptions of Functions (Section 1.3. Related
documents). See also Chapter 3. Introduction for differences between the REX 521
and the RED 500 platform in the function block descriptions of the CD-ROM.
In this chapter, the function blocks are called by their IEC names. The corresponding
ABB names for the function blocks can be found in Table 3.-1.
Note that in the CD-ROM Technical Descriptions of Functions there are more
signals presented than in this manual.

8.1.10. O-->I
The majority (about 80...85%) of MV overhead line faults are transient and are
automatically cleared by momentarily de-energizing the line, whereas the rest of the
faults (15...20%) can be cleared by longer interruptions. The de-energization of the
fault place for a desired period of time is implemented by autoreclose (AR) relays
or functions. The autoreclosers are capable of clearing most of the faults. At a
permanent fault, the autoreclosing is followed by final tripping. A permanent fault
has to be located and cleared before the fault location can be re-energized.
The autoreclose function O-->I can be used for autoreclosing together with any
circuit breaker that has the characteristics required for autoreclosing. The function
block provides five programmable AR shots which can perform one to five
successive autoreclosures of desired type and duration, such as one high-speed and
one delayed autoreclosure. When the reclosing is initiated by the start of a protection
function, the AR function is capable of executing the final trip of the circuit breaker
in a short operate time in case the fault still persists when the last reclosure selected
has been carried out.

The re-open (ROPEN) signal is connected directly to the HSPO1. The reclose signal
is routed to the close signal which can be connected to the output relays. The reclose
signal is depended on the interlocking scheme chosen for the control (COCB)
function. (See Fig. 8.1.10.-2.) Note that the open and the trip signal always overrides
the reclose and the close signal.
Sometimes it can be useful to get indications on the display cleared after a successful
autoreclosing. This can be done by selecting O-->I in input SWGRP Reset
indication. By default this option is disabled.

CB open and CB close via the AR function are disabled in REX 521.

configuration
CB position act. CB position OPEN activates the reclose sequence.
Input SWGRP determines which start or trip signal blocks O-->I.
Fast final trip After the first reclose or manual close, the Trip is carried out by a Start
signal, ignoring the operate time set within the protection block. The
input SWGRP determines which function blocks use this feature.
Standard Input SWGRP determines which start or trip signal activates O-->I.

The autoreclose configuration settings are found in Configuration/Input


SWGRP/Special settings/AR1 conf ... /AR4 conf.

These features requires correct settings inside the AR function block.

CB position act.
Opening a CB manually does not start the O-->I sequence. The selected signals in
the Input SWGRP are used to block the initiation of the O-->I sequence.
In order to allow the Master trip input signal to initiate the O-->I sequence,
O-->I INH must have a different DI selected than the Master trip input
signal. Both signals are found in Configuration/Input signals/. Both the
Master trip and the O-->I INH signals are by default configured to DI8.

1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

Fast final trip


Fast final trip is used when a specific start signal is used to open the breaker faster
if an error still exists after an autoreclose or a manual close. After the first reclose or
manual close, the TRDUE signal is set to TRUE. If a start signal triggers the AR
during the time the TRDUE signal is TRUE (called reclaime time), the circuit
breaker is opened by the AR function. In this way the operate time of the protection
block is bypassed. The input SWGRP sets the start signals of the function blocks
which initiate this functionality.

Standard
The input SWGRP determines the initiate signals that activates the O-->I sequence.
AR works like in other configurations where it is used.

8.1.17. 3I<
The undercurrent function block is designed to be used for non-directional three-
phase undercurrent protection. Usually the undercurrent function block indicates
loss of load for pumps, fans and conveyors. Protection is important if the pump is
cooled by the liquid it pumps, or if a broken conveyor belt may cause damage for
the process. Also a broken main circuit, problems with measuring devices, and loss
of supply can be indicated.

8.1.18. FUSEF
Some voltage-based protection functions may mal-operate if a voltage measurement
circuitry is damaged or if the miniature circuit breaker (MCB) of the measurement
circuitry has opened for example due to an operation of the short-circuit protection.
A failure in the voltage measurement circuitry should, however, be repaired as soon
as possible to restore the blocked protection functions into use.

8.1.19. 3Ithdev>
The function block protects a motor both from short- and long-duration overloads.
The start situation is a good example of short-duration overload since particularly at
start-up the rotor is in danger to be overloaded by the starting current. The starting
current can be in the range of five to seven times the rated current of the motor.
The motor start-ups also load stator windings. Especially when a warm motor is
restarted, the stator may constitute a limitation regarding thermal protection.
Because the function block calculates the temperature rise both for the stator and the
rotor individually, the motor can be fully protected by proper settings. Furthermore,
the thermal model of two-time constants enables detecting both short-time and long-
time overloadings.

8.1.20. U1U2<>_1
The positive-sequence undervoltage function U1< is designed to be used to protect
small generating plant from asynchronous reclosure with the rest of the network, and
to protect the plant from loss of synchronism.
The function block is also used to protect against unwanted isolation of small
generating plant during one- or two-phase network unbalance. The level of positive
sequence voltage is found to be a good criteria when determining the criticality of
the network fault from the generating plant’s point of view.
Additionally, the function block can be used in unsuccessful reclosure protection in
cases where a small generating plant with a faulted feeder supplies fault current
which is too small to be detected by the current relays, but high enough to maintain
the arc.
The negative-sequence overvoltage function U2> is designed to be used to protect
motors against failure on one or more phases (single phasing), to protect against
excessive imbalance between phases, and to protect machines against reversal of
phase sequence both in forward and reverse rotation direction.

122
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

A faulty voltage transformer or sensor, as well as a wrong connection of voltage


measuring devices causes apparent voltage unbalance. The U2> function can also be
used for monitoring the condition of measuring circuits.
The positive-sequence overvoltage function U1> can be used in various applications
instead of an ordinary three-phase overvoltage protection.

The circuit-breaker function block is used for controlling the open and close
positions of a circuit breaker. The function block also takes care of the user-defined
interlocking logics and has guaranteed opening and closing pulse widths and forced
open control operations for protection purposes. The open, close and undefined
states of an object can be indicated remotely by the function block. Since the
function block is mainly designed for circuit breakers, it will issue specific alarm
signals based on the condition monitoring features.

8.2.4. I<->O POS


The function block for logic control position selector, I<->O POS, makes it possible
to choose remote or local position via the input Remote, which facilitates the flexible
selection of control position. The Remote input can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Input Signals\Remote.
In remote position, the circuit breaker can only be controlled via remote
communication and, accordingly, the local position only enables operation via the
HMI and the digital inputs.

8.3.4. DREC
The transient disturbance recorder DREC is used for recording current waveforms
and, when available, voltage waveforms. Furthermore, start and trip signals from the
protection functions are recorded. The amount of recorded signals is standard
configuration specific; refer to the block diagram of the standard configuration.
The default setting for the analogue channels recorded in DREC does not include I0b
measurement. When I0b is in use and it is wanted to record data, the used analogue
channel setting has to be changed in Main menu\Measurement\DREC\
General info\AI chs used.
Recording can be triggered on the rising or falling edge of any or several of the
digital inputs, on an adjustable level of overcurrent, overvoltage or undervoltage, or
the recording can be triggered manually via the HMI, via serial communication or a
parameter, or using a periodic triggering.
Notice that the recordings will be cleared if setting some of the parameters which
cause the device to reset.

8.3.5. 3U
The measurement function block 3U measures true RMS phase-to-earth or phase-to-
phase voltages. If voltage dividers are used, as in configurations H01S-H07S, only
phase-to-earth voltages can be measured. If voltage transformers are used, as in
configurations H02-H07, H50 and H51 only phase-to-phase voltages can be
measured. As an exception from these, in configurations H08 and H09, voltage
transformers are used and phase-to-earth voltage is measured. The voltage values
are updated once per fundamental frequency cycle, that is, the integration time for
true RMS calculation is one fundamental cycle.

8.4. Condition monitoring

8.4.1. CB wear1
In the circuit-breaker wear function block CB wear1, calculating the electrical wear
of the circuit breaker is based on the current in each phase before opening. The
breaker wear is calculated for each phase separately and when the accumulated
breaker wear has reached the setting value, the function block will issue an alarm
signal.
The function block uses a 16-point setting table
(Main menu\Cond.Monit.\CB wear1\ Control settings) for the
current and the corresponding breaker wear value. The calculation is based on linear
interpolation using the table. Typically, the breaker wear increases in proportion to
the square of the current. However, the interpolation table solution provides a close
match and facilitates the configuration.

8.4.3. MCS 3I
The supervision function block MCS 3I detects interruptions in energizing current
circuits. The function block supervises the energizing circuits by comparing the
measured phase currents. If one or two phase currents exceed the setting “High
limit”, while the measured phase current in the remaining one or two phases is below
the setting “Low limit”, the output ALARM is activated after the adjustable alarm
delay.
The function block is disabled if all input currents are below the setting “Low limit”.
The ALARM output will reset automatically when the fault disappears.
The phase current supervision function block operates on the numerically calculated
fundamental frequency component of the phase currents.

The function block supervises the energizing circuits by comparing the measured
voltages. If one or two voltages exceed the setting “High limit”, while the measured
values of the remaining one or two voltages are below the “Low limit”, the output
ALARM is activated after the set alarm delay.

8.5.1. PQ 3Inf
The current waveform distortion measurement function block PQ 3Inf is used for
measuring the harmonics and monitoring the power quality in distribution networks.
Although the European Standard EN 50160 concerns voltage distortion, the same
standard is applied to current distortion measurements in PQ 3Inf. Measuring
principles for individual harmonics and THD are adapted from the International
standard IEC 61000-4-7. The American standard IEEE Std 1159 is also partly
supported.
The function block measures quasi-stationary (slowly varying) harmonics up to
13th. Distortion measurement does not include rapidly changing harmonics,
interharmonics or other spurious components.

The technical data of the current transformers are set via the Relay Setting Tool or
the local HMI. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Meas. devices\. Refer to
Technical Reference Manual, General (see Section 1.3. Related documents) for
further information about how to set the rated currents.

10.1.3. Protection
All the necessary settings for the protection functions can be set via the Relay
Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Protection\.

10.1.3.1. Phase overcurrent protection


The phase overcurrent protection includes three stages. By using all the three stages
and giving each overcurrent stage its own start value and operate time, good
selectivity with short operate times can be obtained.
Normally, a two-stage overcurrent protection is sufficient. However, when the short-
circuit protection is based on blocking between the successive protection relays, the
high-set stage 3I>> can be used for blocking purpose. As this stage (3I>>) is not
used for tripping purposes, the blocking level can be freely set. This means that
when the 3I>> overcurrent stage of the outgoing feeder starts, a blocking signal is
provided to the 3I>>> overcurrent stage of the incoming feeder. When no blocking
signal is received, the overcurrent protection of the incoming feeder perceives the
fault as being within its own protection zone and trips the circuit breaker.

145
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

For more information about the phase overcurrent blocking signals between the first
and the third application example, refer to the overview diagram on Fig. 10.3.5.-1.
The operation of the low-set overcurrent stage 3I> of the relay can be based on a
definite- or on an inverse-time characteristic. The operation characteristic is selected
within the settings of the low-set overcurrent function block. When the definite time
characteristic has been selected, the operate time of the relay is current independent.
On the contrary, when the inverse-time characteristic is in use, the operate time is a
function of the fault current level: the greater the fault current, the shorter the operate
time. Therefore, the operate time is short at close faults. The definite-time
characteristic can be used for obtaining the time grading steps over a wide current
range and it offers faster tripping times than the inverse time protection at low
multiples of the current settings.
The settings for the over current protections can be found in:
Main menu\Protection\3I>\ … \3I>>>\Setting group 1\. The
parameters Operation mode, Start current, Operate time and Time
multiplier for the function can be set in this setting group.
For example, in Main menu\Protection\3I>\ … \3I>>>\Control
setting\ the Drop-off time and the length of the trip signal, Trip pulse,
can be set.
The data of the three last operations, start or trip, are recorded and the values of the
most recent operation can be found in: Main menu\Protection\3I>\ …
\3I>>>\Recorded data1\…3\.

10.1.3.2. Earth-fault protection


The neutral current can be measured either via a set of three-phase current
transformers in a residual connection, like in this example, or via a core-balance
current transformer. The residual connection can be used in the cases of high earth-
fault currents and moderate sensitivity requirements. In solidly earthed networks or
in networks earthed via a low-resistance resistor or low-impedance coil, the earth-
fault current is high enough to guarantee the sufficient accuracy of the residual
current connection for measuring the earth-fault current. The accuracy of the
residual current connection depends on electrical similarity of the current
transformers. To secure selectivity and stability at high fault current levels, current
transformers with sufficient repeatability are recommended, especially, if the high-
set stage is to operate instantaneously.
The earth-fault protection includes three stages. In the application two stages are in
use, the low-set Io> stage and the high-set Io>> stage. The low-set stage fulfills the
sensitivity requirements of the earth-fault protection and can be given definite-time
or inverse-time characteristic. The high-set stage fulfills the operate-time
requirements and can be used for instantaneous operation.
Alternatively the high-set stages Io>> and Io>>> can be used instead of Io> and
Io>> in the example above, then the Io> stage can be an alarming stage for high
resistance faults. Note that in this application example the CBFP signal has to be
taken out of use for this stage. With the default settings, the CBFP is in use.

146
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

While using the sensitive non-directional earth fault it is recommended to secure the
earth-fault functionality by using the start signal from a residual voltage relay to
release blocking of the earth-fault protection. By doing this, unnecessary trips are
avoided due to disturbances in the measured earth-fault current.
The settings for the earth-fault current protections can be found in
Main menu\Protection\Io>\ … \Io>>>\.

10.1.3.3. Phase discontinuity protection


The phase discontinuity stage Iub> has a tripping function when used for protecting
overhead lines. In cable networks, where phase discontinuity does not cause
dangerous situations, the Iub> stage can give an alarm signal. The phase
discontinuity protection can be used irrespective of the earthing principle.
An example of a phase discontinuity fault is a broken phase wire that has fallen
down on such a place that the resistance towards earth, the specific soil resistivity,
is very high. The earth-fault protection alone is not able to detect the fault and thus
the feeder is not disconnected. The phase discontinuity protection is specially
important in overhead lines and particularly in overhead lines with insulated phase
wires. Another example of a phase discontinuity fault is a line breakdown and a one-
phase earth fault on the load side. Note that a fault in the end of a long feeder behind
several loads may result in a very low unbalance and thus the phase discontinuity
protection may not operate.
The unbalance of the network is detected by monitoring the highest (ILmax) and the
lowest (ILmin) phase currents. The unbalance is calculated according to the
following formula:

IL max – IL min
∆I = 100% × --------------------------------
IL max

Full unbalance (100%) occurs when a phase conductor is broken before the first load
on the phase. Due to asymmetrical load in the network, the normal unbalance has to
be considered when defining the start value. Since this type of protection cannot be
graded with other systems, it is confined to a supplementary role by the use of a long
time delay, adjustable from 1s up to 300 s.
The settings for the phase discontinuity protection can be found in
Main menu\Protection\Iub>\Setting group 1\, where the
parameters Operation mode, Start unbalance and Operate time for
the protection function can be set.
For example, the pulse length for the trip and the start signal can be set in
Main menu\Protection\Iub>\Control setting\.

10.1.3.4. Thermal overload protection


The thermal overload protection 3Ith> is designed for protection of three-phase
power cables and overhead lines. The calculation of the thermal model is based on
the TRUE RMS measuring principle. The thermal load is calculated by means of the

147
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

highest phase current value. The 3Ith> applies the thermal model of one time-
constant for temperature measurement, which means that both the temperature rise
and the cooling follow an exponential curve.
The following set values have to be defined for the 3Ith>: the time constant for the
rise and cooling of the cable, the maximum rated load current for the cable, the
maximum temperature allowed for the cable and the reference temperature in which
the rated current has been defined.
The Start output becomes active when the calculated conductor temperature exceeds
the setting of the Prior alarm parameter that can be given a value in the range
40% to 100%. The trip output is activated if the conductor temperature-rise
measured in per cents exceeds the value of the Trip temperature parameter
that can be set in the range 80% to 120%. The delayed trip is set into use by giving
the Trip temperature parameter a value higher than 100% and the Trip
delay parameter one higher than 0. For example, the trip temperature can be set to
120% and the trip delay to 60 min, in which case the function block trips when the
cable load remains above 100% for 60 minutes but does not exceed 120%.
The CU_ALARM output alarms when the measured current has exceeded the level
where, if it remains the same, the cable temperature will reach the maximum
temperature set for the cable.
After the thermal overload protection has tripped, reclosing is not possible until the
calculated conductor temperature falls below the value set for the Reclosure
temp parameter, because the function block holds the trip output active. If the re-
closing inhibit is chosen not to be used, the parameter is set to 100%.
In the initializing stage, that is, when the auxiliary voltage is connected to the relay,
the function block assumes that the cable temperature has risen to 50% of the
difference between the parameter values Maximum temp and Ambient temp.
For example, if the maximum temperature has been set to +90°C (cable with PEX
insulation) and the ambient temperature is set to +20°C, the relay assumes a
temperature of +55°C for the cable.
The necessary settings for the thermal overload protection can be found in:
Main menu\Protection\3Ith>\Setting group 1\.
The calculated temperatures of the conductor can be viewed in:
Main menu\Protection\3Ith>\Output data\.

10.1.4. Connections and signal routings


All the necessary settings for the connected signals can be set via the Relay Setting
Tool or the local HMI.

10.1.4.1. Protection signal routing


The protection trip signal, Trip 1, is routed to the high-speed power output HSPO1,
(x4.2.1/2/3/4) as well as the control-open signal to the circuit breaker. The trip
signals from the protection functions are routed to the output relay via the output
switchgroups. These settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\.

148
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

As the HSPO1 is always routed to the “Trip 1” output signal, the settings are made
directly in Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Trip 1 where
the checksum for the settings is displayed (255 by default).
Using HMI:
To change the settings for the Trip 1, go to Configuration\Output
SWGRP\Trip 1 and press the [E]-button. The different protection functions are
displayed one at a time. By pressing the [→ ] or [← ] navigation push button, it is
possible to scroll between the different protections. By pressing the [↑ ] or [↓ ]
navigation push button, the specific protection function trip signal can be connected
or disconnected. When the two-stage overcurrent (3I> and 3I>>>), two-stage earth
fault (Io> and Io>>), the unbalance and thermal overload protection are selected, the
checksum for the Trip 1 is 221.
Using Relay Setting Tool:
To change the settings for the Trip 1, go to the Configuration in config view
and Output SWGRP and select the “New value” on Trip 1. Press backspace to
change the value. In the “New value” window the protection functions that are used
can be marked or unmarked. The checksum can also be changed directly. Finally,
the new setting has to be sent to the relay with the Download button. For more
information about the tool, refer to Tools for Relays and Terminals, User’s Guide
(see Section 1.3. Related documents).

There are three connection options for each signal: “Not connected”, “Connected
and non-latched” and “Connected and latched”. You can change the connection
option by clicking the symbol with the mouse (see Fig. 10.1.4.1.-2).
Finally, the new setting has to be sent to the relay by using the Download button.

10.1.4.2. Indication and control connections


The output signals can be routed to any of the output relays and in this example the
circuit breaker close-signal is connected to the power output 3, PO3 (X4.1.17/18).
The status indications from the circuit breaker can also be connected to any of the
digital inputs DI1…DI9. In this example DI1 (X4.2.5/6), has been used for open
indication and DI2 (X4.2.6/7), for close indication, mainly because these two inputs
have a common ground.
The close signal can be connected to the output relay PO3 like this. In
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\, scroll down to the PO3
output and select the close signal.

150
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The status-indication signals are also routed from the digital inputs to the circuit
breaker function (I<->O CB1) via the input signal selectors. These settings can be
found in: Main menu\Configuration\Input Signals\, where the
different input signal names are displayed and the specific inputs selected. The
status-indication signals are named as “CB pos. open” and “CB pos. close”.
Using the HMI:
To change the settings for “CB pos. open” go to the Configuration\Input
Signals\ and scroll with the [↑ ] or [↓ ] navigation push button to “CB pos. open”
and press the [E]-button. The different digital inputs are displayed one at a time by
selecting with the [↑ ] or [↓ ] navigation push button. Select DI1 and press the [E]-
button to confirm. Scroll to the “CB pos. close” and select the DI2 input.
Using Relay Setting Tool:
To change the settings for the CB pos. open go to the Configuration/Input Signals
and find CB pos. open. Select DI1 in the pull-down menu. For more information,
refer to Tools for Relays and Terminals, User’s Guide (see Section 1.3. Related
documents).

A052020

Fig. 10.1.4.2.-1 Selecting the digital input for the status indication of the breaker in
the Relay Setting Tool
In this application example the open and close push buttons are connected to the
digital inputs DI7 and DI8. Normally these buttons are connected directly to the
open or close circuits of the breaker. By including these to the relay, it is possible to
monitor the whole opening and closing time of the breaker and it is also possible to

151

define the pulse width for the open and close pulse. The manual opening and closing
via push buttons are also disabled when the relay is set to remote mode, and vice
versa when the relay is in local mode, the remote control is disabled. If the breaker
is interlocked and the interlocking scheme is used with one or more digital inputs
configured to the “CLOSEENA” input signal, no close pulse will be sent from the
relay. The open and close input signals have to be selected via the
Configuration\Input Signals\ menu in the same way as for the breaker
status indication signals.

10.1.5. Implementations
In the sections below a few implementation examples for the standard configuration
B01 are presented.

10.1.5.1. Outgoing blocking signal to the incoming feeder


The start signals from any protection function can be routed to an output relay to
provide a blocking signal to the incoming feeder. The overcurrent stages 3I>> and
3I>>> have also a separate BSOUT signal for blocking purpose.
To use the start signal from a protection function the signal has to be routed via the
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Start 1 or
\Start 2. When the start signals have been routed, the output relay has to be
selected in the Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals. In this
example, the overcurrent stage 3I>> is routed via Start 1 and then connected to the
power output 2, PO2. In this application example, the checksum for the Start 1 is 2.

10.1.5.2. Blocking signal received from the residual voltage relay


To release blocking, the start signals from a residual voltage relay can be connected
to the earth-fault stages in the outgoing feeder. There are two input blocking signals,
Blocking 1 and Blocking 2, which can have different functions depending on the
different protections.
The Blocking 1 input signal is connected to the BS1 input and the Blocking 2 input
signal is connected to the BS2 input of the earth-fault stages Io>, Io>> and Io>>>.
The BS1 in this application example will stop the DT (Definite time) or the IDTM
(Inverse Definite Time) timer and the BS2 will block the trip signal. Refer to the CD-
ROM Technical Descriptions of Functions (see Section 1.3. Related documents) for
more information.
In this application example, the digital input DI9 is connected to the input signal
Blocking 1 and then routed to the BS1 input of the earth-fault stage Io>. The
Blocking 1 signal can be found in Main menu\Configuration\Input
Signals\Blocking 1\ where the DI9 is selected. The checksum for the
switchgroup in Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\
Blocking 1\ is 8 to block Io>.
Normally the Blocking 1 signal is set to release the Io> blocking when the residual
voltage relay starts, and give the Io> protection a permission to start and further
execute trip after the set time delay has elapsed. For instance, this can be established
by inverting the digital input DI9 and use the start signal from the residual relay for
permission.

10.1.5.3. Circuit-breaker failure protection


Every protection function in the standard configuration B01 provides a delayed trip
signal CBFP after the trip signal unless the fault has not disappeared during the set
CBFP time delay. In circuit-breaker failure protection, the CBFP output can be used
for operating an upstream circuit-breaker.

153
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The settings for the breaker failure are set separately for each protection function.
For example, to set the CBFP time for the 3I>> go to
Main menu\Protection\3I>>\Control settings, where it is possible
to set the CBFP time from 100 ms to 1000 ms. The control parameter Trip
pulse sets the width of the trip output signal, but also of the CBFP output signal.
The CBFP signals from the protection functions are routed to the output signals via
the output switchgroups. These settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\CBFP. When the three-stage
overcurrent, the two-stage earth fault, the unbalance and thermal overload protection
are selected the checksum for the CBFP is 223.
The CBFP signal is then connected to any of the output relays, via
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\. In this example, the
circuit-breaker failure signal is connected to the power output 1, PO1.

10.1.5.4. Trip-circuit supervision


The trip-circuit supervision is available for the HSPO1 relay. If the resistance of the
trip circuit exceeds a certain limit, for instance due to a bad contact or oxidation, the
supervision function will be activated and a trip-circuit supervision alarm signal is
provided after an adjustable delay time. The settings for the function can be found
in Main menu\Cond. monit.\TCS1\.
To avoid unnecessary alarms, the trip-circuit supervision can be blocked by the BS
signal, which disables the supervision output when the circuit breaker is open. The
BS signal is configured to be operated by the “CB pos. open” status from the selected
digital input. The BS signal can be connected via the switchgroup in
Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\TCS1\. The default setting of
the parameter is ”Not in use”.
Another solution is to use an external resistor to prevent the TCS1 alarm. Refer to
Technical Reference Manual, General (see Section 1.3. Related documents) for
more information about the trip-circuit supervision.

10.1.5.5. Condition monitoring of the breaker wear


Calculating the electrical wear of the circuit breaker is based on the current in each
phase before opening. The breaker wear is calculated for each phase separately and
when the accumulated breaker-wear has reached the setting value, the function
block will issue an alarm signal.
When the circuit breaker is in the close state, the rising edge of the Open pulse will
trigger the function, which again ends when the circuit breaker enters from the
undefined state to the open state. The function finds the maximum current peak-
value in each phase and uses the obtained values as a reference when interpolating
the breaker wear for each phase by means of the 16-point setting table. The settings
for the breaker-wear function can be found in Main menu\Cond. monit.\CB
wear1\.
The status indications “CB pos. open” and “CB pos. close” are automatically used
for the breaker-wear function. The open pulse for the HSPO1 also triggers the
function.

154
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The alarm signal from the breaker wear function is routed via
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Alarm 1\ or \Alarm 2\
to the output signal together with the other available alarm signals from the relay. If
the CB wear1 alarm alone is selected in Alarm 1, the checksum is 128.
The Alarm 1 signal is then connected to an output relay via
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\, and in this example, the
breaker wear alarm signal is connected to the signal output 1, SO1.

10.1.5.6. Disconnector and earth-switch indication


If the status indication signals are available from the disconnector or the earth
switch, they can be connected to the digital inputs for indication sent as events to a
monitoring system or to include in the interlocking scheme for close-operation of the
breaker. These settings can be found in: Main menu\Configuration\Input
Signals\.
The status indication signals for the disconnector are named as “DC pos. open” and
“DC pos. close” and for the earth switch as “ES pos. open” and “ES pos. close”. In
this example, the disconnector indication signals are connected to the inputs DI3
(open) and DI4 (close). The earth-switch indication is connected to the inputs DI5
(open) and DI6 (close).
With these indication signals, it is possible to prevent or give permission for the
closing of the breaker. The different interlocking options are described in Section
6.2. Interlocking. In this example, the interlocking option “Interlocking_B” is used.
This option allows closing of the breaker only when the disconnector is closed and
the earth switch is open. The different interlocking options can be set in
Main menu\Configuration\Input Signals\Close enable.

10.2.3.1. Phase overcurrent protection


In the example of the incoming feeder application, the stages 3I> and 3I>> of the
overcurrent protection operate time selectively as a back-up protection of the
outgoing feeders. The 3I>>> stage is used for the short-circuit protection of the
busbar system. The set operate time of a back-up protection stage can be calculated
as follows:

Time grading + Operate time of the


protection relay of the
outgoing feeder

The time grading includes (definite time):

2 X Tolerance of the + Operation time + Retardation time + Saturation and delay


relays’ operate times of the CB of the relay margin

If a fault occurs in the feeder, the overcurrent protection relay of the outgoing feeder
provides a blocking signal to the overcurrent protection relay of the incoming feeder.
If the fault should occur in the busbar system, no blocking signal is issued and the
3I>>> stage of the overcurrent protection of the in-feeder provides a trip signal to
the in-feeder circuit breaker. Therefore, when no auxiliary relay is used, it is possible
to use a minimum operate time of 100 ms when a fault in the busbar system occurs.
The needed time for blocking includes:

Start time of the relay + Input delay on the relay + Retardation time + Margin
(40 ms) to be blocked (30 ms) (20 ms)
(10 ms)

The blocking arrangement can be extended to include the HV side overcurrent


protection of the main transformer. For example, the start signal of the high-set stage
3I>> can be routed as blocking to the high-set stage 3I>> of the HV relay.
The busbar protection and the co-operation of the relays between the different
protection levels can be arranged in many ways and they vary in different
applications. A few examples of how the described application can be changed using
some of the features of REX 521 are described below.
The back-up protection can be made with the circuit-breaker failure protection
function of the protection relay of the outgoing feeder. A fast back-up function can
be achieved because the safety margin can be omitted when setting the CBFP time.
Furthermore, the different time settings in the outgoing feeders do not affect the
operation because each relay has a separate CBFP function. The CBFP function
requires external wiring from the protection relays of the outgoing feeders to the
relay of the in-feeder.
If an operate time of less than 100 ms is required in the busbar protection system and
the non-selective operation is allowed, one possibility is to use the instantaneous
stage 3I>>> with an instantaneous operate time. Then the start current value has to
be set to such a level that the fault most probably is in the busbar system. It is of
advantage if a fault in the busbar system does not cause serious damage due to the

160
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

instantaneous trip of the busbar system. On the other hand, it is difficult to find the
right setting value since a close-up fault in a feeder can cause the circuit breaker of
the in-feeder to trip instead of the feeder protection relay.
In a double busbar system where the busbar circuit breaker is closed and two main
transformers are connected in parallel, the breaking capacity of the circuit breakers
of the outgoing feeders may not be sufficient and so tripping should be carried out
by the circuit breaker of the in-feeder. Then the current setting of the outgoing
instantaneous stage 3I>>> is set to the same level as the breaking capacity of the
feeders. This means that if the fault current exceeds the breaking capacity of the
outgoing feeders, the tripping is performed by the protection of the in-feeder. An
external control signal can be used for shifting to the second settings when the
transformers are used in parallel operation. Then the stage 3I>>> is active in parallel
operation and inhibited or has other settings when the parallel operation is not used.
The settings for the overcurrent protections can be found in:
Main menu\Protection\3I>\ … \3I>>>\Setting group 1\ where
the parameters Operation mode, Start current and Operate time for
the function can be set. In Main menu\Protection\3I>\Control
setting\ can for example the Drop-off time and the length of the trip signal
Trip pulse be set. The data of the three last operations, start or trip, are recorded
and the values of the most recent operation can be found in
Main menu\Protection\3I>\Recorded data1\…3\.

10.2.3.2. Earth-fault protection


The earth-fault stages can be used in different ways depending on the used earthing
principle. In this example with a low-resistance earthed network, the two stages are
used as back-up earth-fault protection and as earth-fault protection of the busbar
system. The low-set Io> stage of the earth-fault protection serves as back-up
protection of the outgoing feeders and the high-set stage Io>> as the primary earth-
fault protection of the busbar system. The instantaneous stage Io>>> is configured
to trip the breaker on the HV side of the transformer.
The settings for the earth-fault current protections can be found in
Main menu\Protection\Io>\ … \Io>>>\.

10.2.3.3. Protection signal routing


The trip signal (Trip 1) of the protection functions are routed to the high speed power
output HSPO1 (x4.2.1/2/3/4) as well as the control-open signal for the circuit
breaker. The trip signals from the protection functions are routed to the output relay
via the output switchgroups. These settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\.
As the HSPO1 is always routed to the “Trip 1” output signal, the settings are made
directly in Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Trip 1 where
the checksum of the settings is displayed (255 by default).

161
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

Using the HMI:


To change the settings for Trip 1 go to Output SWGRP\Trip 1 and press the
[E]-button. The different protection functions are displayed one at a time. By
pressing the [→ ] or [← ] navigation push button, it is possible to scroll between the
different protections. By pressing the [↑ ] or [↓ ] navigation push button, the specific
protection function trip signal can be connected or disconnected. When the three-
stage overcurrent (3I> 3I>> and 3I>>>), two-stage earth fault (Io> and Io>>)
protection is selected the checksum for Trip 1 is 31.

10.2.3.4. Indication and control connections


All the necessary settings for the indication and control signals of the circuit breaker
and the disconnector for the incoming feeder can be set as described in the first
application example on Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01 onwards for the
outgoing feeder (except for the earth switch). The settings are made by means of the
Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in:
Main menu\Configuration\Input Signals\
Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\.

10.2.4. Implementations
In the sections below a few implementation examples for the standard configuration
B01 are presented.

10.2.4.1. Blocking signal received from the outgoing feeder


The start signals from the overcurrent protection of the outgoing feeder can be
connected in order to block the overcurrent protection stages on the incoming feeder.
There are two input blocking signals, Blocking 1 and Blocking 2, which can have
different functions depending on the different protections.
The Blocking 1 input signal is connected to the BS1 input and the Blocking 2 input
signal is connected to the BS2 input of the overcurrent stages 3I>, 3I>> and 3I>>>.
The BS1 in this application example will stop the DT or IDTM timer and the BS2
will block the trip signal. Refer to the CD-ROM Technical Descriptions of Functions
(see Section 1.3. Related documents) for more information.
In this application example, the digital input DI9 is connected to the input signal
Blocking 1 and then routed to the BS1 input of the overcurrent stage 3I>>>. The
Blocking 1 signal can be found in Main menu\Configuration\Input
Signals\Blocking 1\ where the DI9 is selected. The checksum for the
switchgroup in Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP
\Blocking 1\ should be 4 to block 3I>>>.

10.2.4.2. Outgoing blocking signal to the overcurrent relay on the HV side


The start signals from the overcurrent protection function can be routed to an output
relay to provide a blocking signal. The overcurrent stages 3I>> and 3I>>> have also
a separate BSOUT signal for blocking purpose.

162
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

As mentioned above the start signal from the high-set overcurrent stage 3I>> can be
routed to the high-set stage 3I>> of the HV relay. To use the start signal of a
protection function, the signal has to be routed via
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Start 1 or \Start 2.
When the start signal has been routed, the output relay has to be selected in
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals. In this example, the
overcurrent start signal from the 3I>> stage is routed via Start 1 and then connected
to the signal output 2, SO2. The checksum in this application example for Start 1
is 2.

10.2.4.3. Earth-fault stage Io>>> used to trip the breaker on the HV side of
the transformer
The trip signal from the earth-fault instantaneous stage can be routed to an output
relay to trip the breaker on the HV side of the transformer. To use the trip signal from
the earth-fault function, the signal has to be routed via
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Trip 2 or \Trip 3.
When the trip signal has been routed, the output relay has to be selected in
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals.
In this example, the trip signal of the earth-fault stage Io>>> is routed via
Trip 2 and then connected to the power output 2, PO2. The checksum in this
application example for Trip 2 is 32.

10.2.4.4. Circuit-breaker failure protection


All of the protection functions in the standard configuration B01 provide a delayed
trip signal CBFP after the trip signal unless the fault has not disappeared during the
set CBFP time delay. In the circuit-breaker failure protection, the CBFP output can
be used for operating an upstream circuit breaker.
The settings for the breaker failure are set separately for each protection function.
For example, to set the CBFP time for 3I>>, go to
Main menu\Protection\3I>>\Control setting, where it is possible
to set the CBFP time from 100 ms to 1000 ms. The control parameter Trip
pulse sets the width of the trip output signal, but also of the CBFP output signal.
The CBFP signals from the protection functions are routed to the output signals via
the output switchgroups. These settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\CBFP. When the three-stage
overcurrent and the two-stage earth-fault protection are selected the checksum for
CBFP is 31.
The CBFP signal is then connected to any of the output relays, via
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\. In this example, the
circuit-breaker failure signal is connected to the power output 1, PO1.

10.2.4.5. Disturbance recorder


The disturbance recorder (DREC) can be found in
Main menu\Measurement\DREC\. All of the measured current signals as well
as all of the start signals from the protection functions are connected to the DREC
in the B01 standard configuration.

163
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The recording can be triggered by any of the alternatives listed below:


• Triggering on the rising or falling edge of the protective start signals
• Triggering on current measurement
• Manual triggering via the HMI or with the external input signal
• Triggering via communication by a parameter
• Periodic triggering
Regardless of the triggering type, each recording generates the event E31. The
triggering time and reason are included in the recording. Number of recordings can
be viewed in Main menu\Measurements\DREC\Control setting\
# records.
External triggering can be made by means of the reserved input signal “DREC trig”
connected to one of the digital inputs. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Input Signals\DREC trig.
Refer to the CD-ROM Technical Descriptions of Functions (MEDREC16) for more
information about the disturbance recorder.

10.2.4.6. Power quality


The power quality function (PQ 3Inf) can be found in Main menu\Power
Quality\PQ 3Inf. The function is used for measuring the harmonics and
monitoring the power quality in distribution networks.
The power quality function can be triggered by any of the alternatives listed below:
• Manual triggering via the HMI
• With the external input signal
• Triggering via communication parameter
• Preset time and date
External triggering can be made by means of the reserved input signal “PQ 3Inf trig”
connected to one of the digital inputs. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Input Signals\PQ 3Inf trig.
The function can deliver the alarm signals “PQ 3Inf cum”, an output signal for
exceeding a setting limit for cumulative probability of a harmonic and the “PQ 3Inf
har”, an output signal for exceeding a setting limit for a harmonic. The alarm signals
can be routed to the output contacts via the switchgroups. The connection settings
can be made in Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Alarm 1\
or \Alarm 2\. The “Alarm 1” or “Alarm 2” output signal can be then connected
to an output relay and the settings are done in
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\.
Refer to the CD-ROM Technical Descriptions of Functions (PQCU3H) for more
information about the power quality function.

The technical data of the current transformers are set via the Relay Setting Tool or
the local HMI. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Meas. devices\. Refer to Technical
Reference Manual, General (see Section 1.3. Related documents) for further
information about how to set the rated currents.

10.3.3. Protection
All the necessary settings for the protection functions can be set via the Relay
Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Protection\.

10.3.3.1. Phase overcurrent protection


The overcurrent protection includes three stages. The relay measures the phase
currents on the HV side. The definite-time instantaneous overcurrent stage 3I>>> is
set to operate on short circuits occurring on the primary side of the transformer and
most of the transformer winding. The fault currents are limited by the impedance of
the transformer so it does not detect faults on the secondary side of the transformer.
The 3I>>> is current selective and it is set to a minimum operate time or
instantaneous.

168
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The high-set overcurrent stage 3I>> is configured to operate in case of a short-circuit


in the poles of the LV side. The stage serves also as back-up at short-circuits in the
MV busbar system. The protection method for the stage is based on blocking and the
blocking signal is delivered from the high-set stage 3I>> of the relay on the MV side.
The low-set overcurrent stage 3I> of the relay is employed as definite time
overcurrent back-up protection for the MV feeders. The stage is time-graded with
the down-stream relay. In this case where this application example is used together
with the second application example (chapter Section 10.2. Incoming feeder, Basic
B01), the operate time will be the operate time of the low-set stage 3I> in the second
example plus time grading. The start current setting and the inrush current and its
duration may have to be considered.
The settings for the overcurrent protections can be found in
Main menu\Protection\3I>\ … \3I>>>\Setting group 1\ where
the parameters Operation mode, Start current and Operate time can
be set for the function. In Main menu\Protection\3I>\Control
setting\ the Drop-off time and the length of the trip signal, Trip pulse,
for example, can be set.
The data of the three last operations, start or trip, are recorded and the values of the
most recent operation can be found in
Main menu\Protection\3I>\Recorded data1\…3\.

10.3.3.2. Transformer inrush


The Inrush 3I2f> function is used for doubling the set start-current of overcurrent
protection in a transformer magnetizing inrush situation or at motor start-up. The
operation of the overcurrent stages 3I>> and 3I>>> can be inhibited by the inrush
function.
Transformer magnetizing inrush currents occur when energizing the transformer.
The inrush current may be many times the rated current and the halving time may be
up to several seconds. The inrush current that may arise, would cause the relay to
start practically always when the transformer is connected to the network. Typically,
the inrush current contains a large amount of the second harmonic. Doubling the
operation of the overcurrent stage of the relay at magnetizing inrush current is based
on the ratio of the amplitudes of the second harmonic digitally filtered from the
current and the fundamental frequency.
The overcurrent stage is doubled once the numerically derived ratio I2f/I1f between
the amplitudes of the second harmonic and the fundamental frequency current in one
phase exceeds the value set for the Ratio I2f/I1f> parameter. Thus a set start
current value below the connection inrush current level may be selected for the
overcurrent stages. The doubling can be activated only if the amplitude of the
fundamental frequency current of the corresponding phase is above 2.0% In. A
control parameter is used for setting the minimum pulse width of the doubling
signal. However, the signal remains active until the ratio I2f/I1f drops below the
value set for the Ratio I2f/I1f> parameter in all phases, that is, until the inrush
situation is over, even if the pulse counter has elapsed earlier.
The settings for the inrush protection can be found in
Main menu\Protection\3I2f>\.

169
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The signal from the inrush function is configured as an input signal to the standard
configuration and has to be routed to the overcurrent functions when taken into use.
The settings, for which overcurrent stage to double, are made in
Main menu\Input SWGRP\Double\.

10.3.3.3. Protection signal routing


The trip signal of the protection, Trip 1, is routed to the high speed power output
HSP01 (x4.2.1/2/3/4) as well as the control-open signal for the circuit breaker. The
trip signals from the protection functions are to be routed to the output relay via the
output switchgroups. These settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\.
As the HSPO1 is always named as the “Trip 1” output signal, the settings are made
directly in Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Trip 1 where
the checksum of the settings is displayed (255 by default).
Using the HMI:
To change the settings for Trip 1 go to Output SWGRP\Trip 1 and press the
[E]-button. The different protection functions are displayed one at a time. By
pressing the [→ ] or [← ] navigation push button, it is possible to scroll between the
different protections. By pressing the [↑ ] or [↓ ] navigation push button, the specific
protection function trip signal can be connected or disconnected. When the three-
stage overcurrent (3I> 3I>> and 3I>>>) is selected the checksum for Trip 1 is 7.

10.3.3.4. Indication and control connections


All the necessary settings for the indication and the control signals of the circuit
breaker and the disconnector for the incoming feeder can be set as described above
in the first application example on Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01. The
settings are made by means of the Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings
can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Input Signals\
Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\.

10.3.4. Implementations
In the section below a few implementation examples for the standard configuration
B01 are presented.

10.3.4.1. Blocking signal from the MV relay on the secondary side of the
transformer
The start signal from the high-set overcurrent stage 3I>> of the MV relay (incoming
feeder) can be routed to the high-set stage 3I>> of the HV relay to block the
overcurrent protection stage. There are two input blocking signals, Blocking 1 and
Blocking 2, which can have different functions depending on the different
protections.

170
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

On the overcurrent stages 3I>, 3I>> and 3I>>>, the Blocking 1 input signal is
connected to the BS1 input and the Blocking 2 input signal is connected to the BS2
input of the function. The BS1 in this application example will stop the DT or IDTM
timer and the BS2 will block the trip signal. Refer to the CD-ROM Technical
Descriptions of Functions (see Section 1.3. Related documents) for more
information about the different protection function blocks.
In this application example the digital input DI9 is connected to the input signal
Blocking 1 and then routed to the BS1 input of the overcurrent stage 3I>>. The
Blocking 1 signal can be found in Main menu\Configuration\Input
Signals\Blocking 1\ where DI9 is selected. The checksum for the
switchgroup in Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\
Blocking 1\ should be 2 to block the 3I>>.

10.3.4.2. Circuit-breaker failure protection


All of the protection functions in the standard configuration B01 provide a delayed
trip signal CBFP after the trip signal unless the fault has not disappeared during the
set CBFP time delay. In the circuit-breaker failure protection, the CBFP output can
be used for operating an upstream circuit breaker.
The settings for breaker failure are set separately for each protection function. For
example, to set the CBFP time for 3I>>, go to
Main menu\Protection\3I>>\Control setting, where it is possible
to set the CBFP time from 100 ms to 1000 ms. The control parameter Trip
pulse sets the width of the trip output signal, but also of the CBFP output signal.
The CBFP signals from the protection functions are routed to the output signals via
the output switchgroups. These settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\CBFP. When the three-stage
overcurrent and two-stage earth-fault protection are selected the checksum for
CBFP will be 31.
The CBFP signal is then connected to any of the output relays, via
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\. In this example, the
circuit-breaker failure signal is connected to the power output 1, PO1.

10.4.3.1. Autoreclose function


The autoreclose function (O-->I) enables different types of auto-reclosing. An
autoreclose sequence is initiated either by a start signal or by a trip signal.
In the following example two auto-reclosures initiated by the start of the protection
are carried out. The auto-reclosures are subject to a preset start-delay time initiated
from the start signal of the protection.
The first auto-reclosure (see Fig. 10.4.3.1.-1) is delayed only slightly to avoid
unwanted auto-reclosures (100 ms). Shot 1 is a high-speed auto-reclosure (short
dead-time 300 ms) mainly used for extinguishing the arc at the fault place. Before
the second shot is initiated, a longer start delay time is used to attempt to burn the
fault (300 ms). The dead time of the Shot 2 is long, a so called delayed auto-
reclosure, that typically lasts minutes (in this case 2 min). Should the fault still
persist when Shot 2 has been performed (after 200 ms), a final circuit-breaker
tripping will follow and a DEFTRIP alarm signal is activated and it can be routed to
an output contact if needed.
The operate time of the protection is longer than the operate times of the autoreclose
function and the final trip time. Therefore the protection operates as a back-up for
the autoreclose function, if the tripping carried out by the autoreclose function fails.

Fig. 10.4.3.1.-1 Autoreclose sequence, when AR is initiated by the start signal.


An autoreclose sequence can also be initiated by the trip signal of a protection
function (see Fig. 10.4.3.1.-2). The trip signal from the protection trips the breaker
after the set start-time of the protection function.
When the set dead-time of the autoreclose function elapses, the function closes the
circuit breaker and a discriminating time (TDDUE output signal) is started. If one of
the initiation signals is activated during the discriminating time, and if the short
circuit current or the earth-fault current increases and the operate time of the
protection function shortens at inverse-time operation, the AR shots are prevented
and a definite tripping will follow. The discriminating time (td) can be set out of use
by selecting the value 0. Normally, this discriminating time is shorter than the
operate time of the protection function, so the sequence is allowed to continue with
the second shot, the third shot, and so on, until the selected sequence has been
completed or the fault has disappeared.

The reclaim time is always started or restarted at a circuit breaker close operation. A
new initiation signal during the reclaim time will perform the next shot if such has
been selected. When all shots have been executed, the autorecloser is locked out.
When the reclaim time has elapsed, the lock-out function of the autorecloser ends,
if lock-out mode for the autoreclose function has been set to "automatic".
To be able to initiate the autoreclose function with the start or trip signal from a
protection function, a few settings must be prepared. The initiation signals from the
different protections can be found in Main menu\Configuration\Input
SWGRP\, where for example the overcurrent initiation signals are named as O-->I
\3I>…3I>>>.
To select the high overcurrent stage (3I>>) in order to initiate the autoreclose
function, choose O-->I\3I>>. Press [E] push button and scroll the different
initiation signal methods with the [→] and [←] navigation push buttons. The
specific initiation method can be enabled or disabled with the [↑] and [↓] push
buttons. The checksum will be 1 if “3I>> Start AR1” is set and 2 if “3I>> Trip AR1”
is set.
After the initiation method is chosen, the settings for the autoreclose function has to
be made. In Main menu\Protection\O-->I\General setting\ the
operation is taken in use when the AR operations is set to ON and the Reclaim
time can be set.
The different shot settings are given in Main menu\Protection\
O-->I\Shot1…5 settings. To set the first shot as in the example above with
the initiation from the start:
1. Go to the Shot 1 setting.
2. Select Initiation mode as “Start”.
3. Select AR1 oper. mode as “Init Shot”.
4. Set the AR1 start delay to 0.1 s.
5. Set the Dead time to 0.3 s.
Proceed with the Shot 2 setting in the same way and with the start delay and dead-
time settings as in the example or as the functionality requires.

178
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

To make the initiation by the trip signal:


1. Go to the Shot 1 setting, select Initiation mode as “Trip”.
2. Select AR1 oper. mode as “Init Shot”.
3. Set the first Dead time as the requirements.
The Shot 2 and the ongoing shots are made in the same way.
The open signal from the autorecloser is connected as the trip directly to the HSPO1
and the close signal is connected to the same output signal as the close signal from
the circuit breaker function. The reclose signal is depended on the interlocking
method chosen for closing of the breaker. If the trip is activated during the close-
pulse period, the close signal is deactivated.
Alarms and action signals are available as three different signals from the
autorecloser. The signals can be found in Main
menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\ and are named as O-->I ACTIVE,
O-->I Alarm 1 and O-->I Alarm 2.
Refer to the CD-ROM Technical Descriptions of Functions for more information
about the auto-reclosing function.

10.4.4. Protection signal routing


The settings for the protection signal routing can be implemented as described in the
first application example (see Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01).

10.4.5. Indication and control connections


The connections for indication and control can be implemented as described in the
first application example (see Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01), except the
signals for the open and close buttons that in this example are disconnected to free
the digital inputs for other functionality. Local control can be executed via the HMI
according to the instructions in REX 521 Operator’s Manual (see Section 1.3.

10.4.6.2. Digital input to initiate auto-reclosing function


If an external start or trip signal is available for initializing the autorecloser, the
signal can be connected to a digital input of the relay. Set the digital input, in this
example DI7, to the O-->I Ext. start or O-->I Ext. trip in
Main menu\Configuration\Input Signals\.
Further in Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\, the external
initiation signal is named as O-->I External. The initiation method is chosen
and in this example Trip AR1 or Start AR1 can be used depending on the signal
available and the methods parametrized within the autoreclose function.

• Overcurrent protection
• Phase discontinuity protection
• Thermal overload protection

185
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

11.1.3.1. Directional earth-fault protection


The neutral current can be measured with a cable current transformer and the
residual voltage can be measured with a set of voltage transformers in a open-delta
connection. In the REX 521 M01 it is suitable to use the directional earth-fault
protection with the sensitive current input. The rated values are 0.2 A/1 A.
In most cases, in compensated and isolated networks the directional earth fault is
used if the sensitive requirements are high and the configuration of the network is
varying a lot.
The directional earth-fault function includes three protection stages: a low stage
Io>--> a high stage Io>>--> and an instantaneous stage Io>>>-->. The protection is
based on measuring the neutral current Io, the residual voltage Uo and the phase
angle between these. An earth-fault stage starts if the neutral current and the residual
voltage exceeds the set values and the phase angle is within the specified operating
sector. The earth-fault function can also be configured to operate as a three-stage
residual voltage protection.
The basic angle of the function can be set to 0°, -30°, -60° or -90°. If the network to
be protected is compensated, the basic angle is normally set to 0°. When an isolated
neutral system is protected the basic angle is set to -90°. It is also possible to use an
external control signal BACTRL for selecting the basic angle (0°/-90°) to be
automatically determined by the earthing situation of the network. The operation
direction, forward or reverse, can be individually selected for the three stages.
The start value of the low stage Io>--> of the earth-fault protection should be set low
enough to fulfil the sensitivity requirements of the safety regulations. The
requirements regarding operate times are mainly fulfilled by the operation of the
high stage Io>>--> and instantaneous operation by the third stage Io>>>-->. The
directional earth-fault protection in this example is configured with two stages,
Io>--> and Io>>-->.
The settings for the earth-fault current protections can be found in
Main menu\Protection\Io>-->\ … \Io>>>-->\.

11.1.3.2. Protection signal routing


The settings for the protection signal routing can be implemented as described in the
first application example (see Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01).

11.1.3.3. Indication and control connections


The connections for indication and control can be implemented as described in the
first application example (see Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01), except the
signals for the open and close buttons that in this example are disconnected to free
the digital inputs for other functionality. Local control can be executed via the HMI
according to the instructions in REX 521 Operator’s Manual (see Section 1.3.
Related documents).

11.1.4. Implementations
In the section below a few implementation examples for the standard configuration
M01 are presented.

11.1.4.1. Basic angle control by digital input


If an external control signal determined from the earthing situation of the network is
available, it can be used for changing the settings for the basic angle of the
directional earth-fault protection. The angle can be switched in between 0° and –90°.
The usage of basic angle control is useful as compensated network is normally set
to 0° and an isolated network is set to -90°.

187
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

In this example the digital input DI8 is connected to the input signal BACTRL and
then routed to the BACTRL input of the directional earth-fault functions. The
BACTRL signal can be found in Main menu\Configuration\Input
Signals\BACTRL\ where DI8 is selected. The checksum for the switchgroup in
Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\BACTRL\ should be 3 to change the
angle on Io>--> and Io>>-->. Refer to the CD-ROM Technical Descriptions of
Functions (see Section 1.3. Related documents) for more information about the basic
angle control (directional earth-fault function).

11.1.4.2. Outgoing blocking signal to the incoming feeder


The start signals from any protection function can be routed to an output relay to
provide a blocking signal to the incoming feeder. The overcurrent stages 3I>> and
3I>>> have also a separate BSOUT signal for blocking purpose.
To use the start signal from a protection function, the signal has to be routed via
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Start 1 or \Start 2.
When the start signals have been routed, the output relay has to be selected in
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals. In this example the
overcurrent stage 3I>> is routed via Start 1 and then connected to power output 2,
PO2. The checksum in this application example for Start 1 is 2.

11.1.4.3. Trip-alarm signals from overcurrent and earth fault


The trip signals from any protection function can be routed to an output relay in
order to provide an alarm signal to indicate which protection has tripped.
To use the trip signal from a protection function, the signal has to be routed via
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Trip 2 or \Trip 3.
When the trip signals have been routed, the output relay has to be selected in
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals.
In this example, the overcurrent stages 3I> and 3I>>> are routed via Trip 2, then
connected to the signal output 1, SO1. The earth-fault stages Io>--> and Io>>--> are
routed via Trip 3, then connected to signal output 2, SO2. The checksum in this
application example for Trip 2 is 5 and 24 for Trip 3.

11.1.4.4. Circuit-breaker failure protection


All of the protection functions in the standard configuration M01 provide a delayed
trip signal CBFP after the trip signal unless the fault has not disappeared during the
set CBFP time delay. In the circuit-breaker failure protection, the CBFP output can
be used for operating an upstream circuit breaker.
The settings for breaker failure are set separately for each protection function. For
example, to set the CBFP time for 3I>> go to
Main menu\Protection\3I>>\Control settings where it is possible
to set the CBFP time from 100 ms to 1000 ms. The control parameter Trip
pulse sets the width of the trip output signal, but also of the CBFP output signal.

188
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The CBFP signals from the protection functions are routed to the output signals via
the output switchgroups. These settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\CBFP. When the two-stage
overcurrent, the two-stage directional earth fault, the unbalance and thermal
overload protection are selected the checksum for CBFP will be 221.
The CBFP signal is then connected to any of the output relays via
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\, and in this example the
circuit-breaker failure signal is connected to power output 1, PO1.

11.1.4.5. Trip-circuit supervision


The trip-circuit supervision is available for the HSPO1 relay. If the resistance of the
trip circuit exceeds a certain limit, for instance due to a bad contact or oxidation, the
supervision function will be activated and a trip-circuit supervision alarm signal is
provided after an adjustable delay time. The settings for the function can be found
in Main menu\Cond. monit.\TCS1\.
To avoid unnecessary alarms the trip-circuit supervision can be blocked by the BS
signal, which disables the supervision output when the circuit breaker is open. The
BS signal is configured to be operated by the CB pos. open status from the
selected digital input. The BS signal can be connected via the switchgroup in
Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\TCS1\. The default setting of
the parameter is ”Not in use”.
Another solution is to use an external resistor to prevent the TCS1 alarm. Refer to
REX 521 Technical Reference Manual, General (see Section 1.3. Related
documents) for more information about the trip-circuit supervision.

11.2.3. Protection
All the necessary settings for the protection functions can be set via the Relay

Main menu\Protection\.

11.2.3.1. Overcurrent protection


The overcurrent protection can be implemented as described in the second
application example (see Section 10.2. Incoming feeder, Basic B01).

11.2.3.2. Residual voltage protection


On the busbar, the residual voltage can be measured with a set of voltage
transformers in an open-delta connection.
In this example, the directional earth-fault functions are configured to operate as
three-stage residual voltage protection. The directional earth-fault functions include
three protection stages: a low stage Io>-->, a high stage Io>>--> and
an instantaneous stage Io>>>-->. The protection is based on measuring the neutral
current Io, the residual voltage Uo and the phase angle between these. In this
application example the stages are set to residual protection (Uo).
In an isolated network, a three-stage residual overvoltage protection can be used for
the main earth-fault protection of the busbar system and for the back-up protection
of the network. The low stage can be given a sensitive setting and have an alarming
function. Note that in this application example the CBFP signal has to be taken out
of use for this stage. With the default settings, the CBFP is in use.
The high stage can work as back-up for the network and perform trip on the outgoing
feeders. Further, the start signal from the high-set stage can be routed to an output
contact to release the blocking for the non-directional earth-fault protection stages
of the outgoing feeders (see also application example 9.1. for the outgoing feeder).
The instantaneous stage can be configured as busbar protection and provide trip to
the incoming feeder.
The settings for the residual voltage protection are made in the settings for the
directional earth-fault current functions and can be found in
Main menu\Protection\Io>-->\ … \Io>>>-->\.
In Main menu\Protection\Io>-->\Setting group 1, the operation
criteria is set to Non.dir.Uo.

11.2.4. Connections
All the necessary settings for the connections and signal routings can be set via the
Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI.

11.2.4.1. Protection signal routing


The settings for the protection signal routing (except the settings for the earth-fault
protection) can be implemented as described in the second application example (see
Section 10.2. Incoming feeder, Basic B01).

194
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

11.2.4.2. Indication and control connections


The connections for the indication and the control signals of the circuit breaker and
the disconnector for the incoming feeder can be set as described in the first
application example on Section 10.2. Incoming feeder, Basic B01 onwards. Settings
are made via the Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in:
Main menu\Configuration\Input Signals\
Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\.

11.2.5. Implementations
In the sections below a few implementation examples for the standard configuration
M01 are presented.

11.2.5.1. Start signal from the second residual voltage stage to release
blocking
The start signal from the residual voltage high stage can be routed to an output relay
to release the blocking signal for the non-directional earth-fault stages on the
outgoing feeders of the network. To use the start signal from the residual protection
function, the signal has to be routed via
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Start 1 or \Start 2.
When the start signal has been routed, the output relay has to be selected in
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals.
In this example, the directional earth-fault stage Io>>--> is configured as a Uo>>
protection and the start signal is routed via Start 1 and then connected to the signal
output 2, SO2. The checksum in this application example for Start 1 is 16.

11.2.5.2. Blocking signal received from the outgoing feeder


The start signals from the overcurrent protection of the outgoing feeder can be
connected to block the overcurrent protection stages on the incoming feeder. There
are two input blocking signals, Blocking 1 and Blocking 2, which can have different
functions depending on the different protections.
On the overcurrent stages 3I>, 3I>> and 3I>>>, the Blocking 1 input signal is
connected to the BS1 input and the Blocking 2 input signal is connected to the BS2
input of the function. In this application example, the BS1 will stop the DT or IDTM
timer and the BS2 will block the trip signal. Refer to the CD-ROM Technical
Descriptions of Functions (see Section 1.3. Related documents) for more
information about the different protection function blocks.
In this application example the digital input DI9 is connected to the input signal
Blocking 1 and then routed to the BS1 input of the overcurrent stage 3I>>>. The
Blocking 1 signal can be found in Main menu\Configuration\Input
Signals\Blocking 1\ where DI9 is selected. The checksum for the
switchgroup in Main menu\Configuration\Input
SWGRP\Blocking 1\ should be 4 to the block 3I>>>.

REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

11.2.5.3. Outgoing blocking signal to the overcurrent relay on the HV side


The start signals from the overcurrent protection function can be routed to an output
relay to provide a blocking signal. The overcurrent stages 3I>> and 3I>>> have also
a separate BSOUT signal for blocking purpose.
As mentioned above, the start signal from the first high-set overcurrent stage 3I>>
can be routed to the first high-set stage 3I>> of the HV relay. To use the start signal
from a protection function the signal has to be routed via
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Start 1 or \Start 2.
When the start signal has been routed, the output relay has to be selected in
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals. In this example, the
overcurrent start signal from the 3I>> stage is routed via Start 1 and then connected
to the signal output 1, SO1. The checksum in this application example for Start 1
is 2.

11.2.5.4. Trip signal from second residual voltage stage


The trip signal from the residual voltage high stage can be routed to an output relay
to provide a back-up trip signal to the outgoing feeders of the network.
To use the trip signal from the residual voltage protection function, the signal has to
be routed via the Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Trip 2
or \Trip 3. When the trip signal has been routed, the output relay has to be
selected in Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals.
In this example, the directional earth-fault stage Io>>--> is configured as a Uo>>
protection and is routed via Trip 2 and then connected to the power output 2, PO2.
The checksum in this application example for Trip 2 is16.
Note also that the events (for example start and trip) for the residual overvoltage
protection will be sent from the directional earth-fault stages.

11.2.5.5. Second settings for residual voltage protection


If an external control signal determined from the earthing situation of the network is
available, it can be used for changing to the second settings of the residual voltage
protection. The usage of different settings can be useful when switching between a
compensated network and an isolated network which results in changes in the level
of the neutral voltage during earth fault.
In this example, the digital input DI5 is connected to the input signal Group and then
routed to the group input of the directional earth-fault functions, which in this
example is configured as residual protection. The Group signal can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Input Signals\GROUP\ where DI5 is
selected. The checksum for the switchgroup in
Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\GROUP\ should be 2 to
change to the second settings for earth fault. In the control settings for the directional
earth-fault functions, the group input has to be chosen for the group selection. Refer
to the CD-ROM Technical Descriptions of Functions (see Section 1.3. Related
documents) for more information about the directional earth-fault function.

11.2.5.6. Circuit-breaker failure protection


All of the protection functions in the standard configuration M01 provide a delayed
trip signal CBFP after the trip signal unless the fault has not disappeared during the
set CBFP time delay. In the circuit-breaker failure protection, the CBFP output can
be used for operating an upstream circuit breaker.
The settings for breaker failure are set separately for each protection function. For
example, to set the CBFP time for 3I>> go to
Main menu\Protection\3I>>\Control setting where it is possible to
set the CBFP time from 100 ms to 1000 ms. The control parameter Trip pulse
sets the width of the trip output signal, but also of the CBFP output signal.
The CBFP signals from the protection functions are routed to the output signals via
the output switchgroups. These settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\CBFP. When the two-stage
overcurrent, the two-stage directional earth fault, the unbalance and thermal
overload protection are selected, the checksum for CBFP will be 221.
The CBFP signal is then connected to any of the output relays via
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\, and in this example the
circuit-breaker failure signal is connected to the power output 1, PO1.

11.2.5.7. Trip-circuit supervision


The trip-circuit supervision is available for the HSPO1 relay. If the resistance of the
trip circuit exceeds a certain limit, for instance due to a bad contact or oxidation, the
supervision function will be activated and a trip-circuit supervision alarm signal will
be provided after an adjustable delay time. The settings for the function can be found
in Main menu\Cond. monit.\TCS1\.
To avoid unnecessary alarms the trip-circuit supervision can be blocked by the BS
signal, which disables the supervision output when the circuit breaker is open. The
BS signal is configured to be operated by the “CB pos. open” status from the selected
digital input. The BS signal can be connected via the switchgroup in
Main menu\Input SWGRP\TCS1\. The default setting of the parameter is
”Not in use”.
Another solution is to use an external resistor to prevent the TCS1 alarm. Refer to
REX 521 Technical Reference Manual, General (see Section 1.3. Related
documents) for more information about the trip-circuit supervision.

The technical data of the current transformers and the voltage transformer are set via
the Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Meas. devices\.
Refer to REX 521 Technical Reference Manual, General (see Section 1.3. Related
documents) for further information about how to set the rated currents and voltage.

11.3.3. Protection
All the necessary settings for the protection functions can be set via the Relay
Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Protection\.
The overcurrent, the phase discontinuity and thermal overload protection can be
implemented in the same way as in the first application example (see Section 10.1.
Outgoing feeder, Basic B01) and the directional earth-fault protection as in the fifth
application example (seec Section 11.1. Outgoing feeder, Medium M01).

11.3.3.1. Autoreclose function


The autoreclose function (O-->I) enables different types of auto-reclosing. An
autoreclose sequence is initiated either by a start signal or by a trip signal.

201
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

In the following example two auto-reclosures initiated by the start of the protection
are carried out. The auto-reclosures are subject to a preset start-delay time initiated
from the start signal of the protection. The first auto-reclosure is delayed only
slightly to avoid unwanted auto-reclosures (100 ms). Shot 1 is a high-speed auto-
reclosure (short dead time 300 ms) mainly used for extinguishing the arc at the fault
place. Before the second shot is initiated, a longer start delay time is used to attempt
to burn the fault (300 ms). The dead time of Shot 2 is long, a so called delayed
autoreclose, that typically lasts minutes, (in this case 2 min). Should the fault still
persist when Shot 2 has been performed (after 200 ms), the final circuit-breaker
tripping will follow and a DEFTRIP alarm signal is activated and can be routed to
an output (contact if needed).
The operate time of the protection is longer than the operate times of the autoreclose
function and the final trip-time. Thus the protection operates as a back-up for the
autoreclose function, if the tripping carried out by the autoreclose function fails.

An autoreclose sequence can also be initiated by the trip signal of a protection
function. The trip signal from the protection trips the breaker after the set start-time
of the protection function.
When the set dead-time of the autoreclose function elapses, the function closes the
circuit breaker and a discriminating time (TDDUE output signal) is started. If one of
the initiation signals is activated during the discriminating time, and if the short
circuit current or the earth-fault current increases and the operate time of the
protection function shortens at inverse-time operation, the AR shots are prevented
and definite tripping will follow. The discriminating time, usually called td, can be
set out of use by selecting the value 0. Normally, this discriminating time is shorter
than the operate time of the protection function, so the sequence is allowed to
continue with the second shot, the third shot, and so on, until the selected sequence
has been completed or the fault has disappeared.

The reclaim time is always started or restarted at a circuit breaker close operation. A
new initiation signal during the reclaim time will perform the next shot if one has
been selected. When all shots have been executed, the autorecloser is locked out.
When the reclaim time has elapsed, the lock-out function of the autorecloser ends,
if lock-out mode for the autoreclose function has been set to “automatic”.
To be able to initiate the autoreclose function with the start or trip signal from a
protection function a few settings must be prepared. The initiation signals from the
different protections can be found in Main menu\Configuration\Input
SWGRP\ where for example the overcurrent initiation signals are named as O-->I
\3I>…3I>>>.
To select the high overcurrent stage (3I>>) to initiate the autoreclose function,
choose the O-->I/3I>>, press [E], scroll the different initiation signal methods
with the [→] and [←] navigation push buttons and the specific initiation method
can be enabled or disabled with the [↑] and [↓] push buttons. The checksum will
be 1 if the 3I>> Start AR1 is set, and 2 if the 3I>> Trip AR1 is set.
After the initiation method is chosen, the settings for the autoreclose function has to
be done. In Main menu\Protection\O-->I\General setting\ the
operation is taken in use with the AR-operation set to ON and the Reclaim
time can be set.
The different shot settings are given in Main menu\Protection\O-->I\
Shot1…5 settings. To set the first shot as earlier in this section with initiation
from the start, go to the Shot 1 settings, select Initiation mode as “Start”,
select AR1 oper. mode as “Init. shot”, set AR1 start delay to 0.1 s and
set Dead time to 0.3 s. Proceed with the Shot 2 settings in the same way and with
the start-delay and dead-time settings as the example or as the functionality requires.
To make the initiation by the trip signal, go to the Shot 1 settings, select
Initiation mode as “Trip”, select AR1 oper. mode as “Init. shot” and set
the first Dead time according to the requirements. The Shot 2 and the ongoing
shots are made in the same way.
The open signal from the autorecloser is connected as the trip directly to the HSPO1
and the close signal is connected to the same output signal as the close signal from
the circuit breaker function. The reclose signal is depended on the interlocking

method chosen for closing of the breaker. If the trip is activated during the close-
pulse period, the close signal is deactivated. Alarms and action signals are available
as three different signals from the autorecloser. The signals can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\ and they are named as
O-->I ACTIVE, O-->I Alarm1 and O-->I Alarm2. Refer to the CD-ROM
Technical Descriptions of Functions (see Section 1.3. Related documents) for more
information about the auto-reclosing function.

11.3.4. Protection signal routing


The settings for the protection signal routing can be implemented as described in
the first application example (see Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01).

11.3.5. Indication and control connections


The connections for indication and control can be implemented as described in first
application example (see Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01), except the
signals for the open and close buttons that in this example are disconnected to free
the digital inputs for other functionality. Local control can be executed via the HMI
according to the instructions in REX 521 Operator’s Manual (see Section 1.3.
Related documents).

11.3.6. Implementations
In the sections below a few implementation examples for the standard configuration
M02 are presented.

11.3.6.1. Definite trip alarm to output relay


To receive the DEFTRIP signal on an output contact go to
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\O-->I Alarm 1, press
the [E]-button and scroll to the DEFTRIP and take it in to use with the help of the
[↑] and [↓] push buttons. The checksum for O-->I Alarm 1 is then 32. The O-->I
Alarm1 signal can then be routed to an output contact, in this example SO2, in
Main menu\Configuration\Output signals\.

11.3.6.2. Digital input to initiate auto-reclosing function


If an external start or trip signal is available for initializing the autorecloser, the
signal can be connected to a digital input of the relay. Set the digital input, in this
example DI7, for the O-->I Ext. start, or O-->I Ext. trip in
Main menu\Configuration\Input signals\. Further, in
Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\ the external initiation signal
is named as O-->I External. The initiation method is chosen and in this
example Trip AR1 or Start AR1 can be used depending on the signal available and
the methods parametrized within the autoreclose function.
The rest of the settings are made in the settings for the autorecloser in the same way
as mentioned above.

11.3.6.3. Basic angle control by digital input


If an external control signal determined from the earthing situation of the network is
available, it can be used for changing the settings for the basic angle of the
directional earth-fault protection. The angle can be switched in between 0° and –90°.
The usage of basic angle control is useful when compensated network is set to 0°
and an isolated network is set to -90°.
In this example, the digital input DI8 is connected to the input signal BACTRL and
then routed to the BACTRL input of the directional earth-fault functions. The
BACTRL signal can be found in Main menu\Configuration\Input
Signals\BACTRL\ where the DI8 is selected. The checksum for the switchgroup
in Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\BACTRL\ should be 3 in
order to change the angle on Io>--> and Io>>-->. Refer to the CD-ROM Technical
Descriptions of Functions (see Section 1.3. Related documents) for more
information about the basic angle control.

12. Application examples, High

12.1. Incoming feeder, High H01

12.1.1. Features
This application example describes an incoming feeder to a single busbar with
parallel feeders including:
• Directional overcurrent protection
• Non-directional overcurrent protection
• Synchro-check and voltage-check
This application example is an optional solution for the application example 9 (see
Section 12.2. Incoming feeder, High H02), if there is a parallel generator feeder
connected to the same busbar.
The network is either compensated earthed or isolated. The directional overcurrent
protection is used because of the parallel feeders. There is no earth-fault protection
included in this application example, because residual voltage-based protection can
be located on the measurement cubicle of the busbar.
The three-phase current measurement is established with Rogowski sensors and the
residual voltage is calculated from phase-to-earth voltages which are measured by
the voltage dividers. Phase-to-phase voltage of the busbar for synchro- and voltage-
check is measured by the voltage transformer.

12.1.2. Measurements
Following measurements are supported in this application example:
• True RMS measurement of phase currents
• True RMS measurement of phase-to-earth voltages
• True RMS measurement of residual voltage (calculated value from phase-to-earth
voltages)
• Fundamental frequency active power [kW]
• Fundamental frequency reactive power [kVAr]
• Fundamental frequency displacement power factor cos (φ)
• Power factor PF including the harmonics
• Fundamental frequency active energy [kWh]
• Fundamental frequency reactive energy [kvarh]
• System frequency measurement

12.1.3. Protection
All the necessary settings for the protection functions can be set via the Relay
Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Protection\.

12.1.3.1. Overcurrent protection


The basic overcurrent protection principles presented in the application example
Section 12.2. Incoming feeder, High H02 are applicable, but different overcurrent
protection stages have been used.
In the example of the incoming feeder application, the stage 3I>>--> of the
overcurrent protection of the incoming feeder operate time-selectively as a
directional overcurrent back-up protection of the outgoing feeders. The stage 3I> ->
is used for the directional overcurrent protection of the parallel incoming feeders to
disconnect faulty feeder from the network. The stage 3I>>> is used for the non-
directional short-circuit protection of the busbar system.

12.1.3.2. Synchro-check function


In this application example the synchro-check function is used for checking the
conditions for the closing of incoming feeders circuit-breaker. The synchro-check
function does not allow the circuit breaker to be closed if the criteria are not fulfilled.
The synchro-check function can be used for two different operating conditions. The
most typical case is the one where both sides of the circuit breaker to be closed are
live and thus the synchronism is always checked before the circuit breaker is given
the permission to close. In the other situation one or both sides of the circuit breaker
to be closed are dead and, consequently, the frequency and phase differences cannot
be measured, in which case the relay checks the energizing direction.

209
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

Operation criteria of the function are:


• Voltages must be in accordance with the energizing direction.
• In cases “Live-Dead”, “Dead-Live” and “Dead-Dead” no other conditions are
checked.
• In the case “Live-Live” also the following must be fulfilled:
• ∆U< dU setting
• ∆f< df setting
• ∆ϕ< dphi setting
Before the function block allows the CB closing, it ensures that the phase difference
will remain within the setting range until the CB closes.
The command mode is used as a basic control principle of the synchro-check
function. In command mode, the synchro-check function directly uses the output
signal to close the circuit breaker. The close command for example from the HMI is
connected to the synchro-check function. When the close command is activated, the
synchro-check function checks the closing criteria and if they are fulfilled, it will
route the command to the output relay of the protection relay. In this application
example the close signal is connected to the power output PO3.
The command mode principle means that the interlocking logic related to the control
functionality will affect the synchro-check function as well. If blocking is needed it
can be carried out by using the ready-made interlocking logic, for example in a case
where the phase-to-phase voltage is missing from either side of the circuit breaker
because of the open miniature circuit breaker (MCB) of the measurement circuit.

12.1.4. Connections
All the necessary settings for the connections and signal routings can be set via the
Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI.

12.1.4.1. Protection signal routing


The settings for the protection signal routing can be implemented as described in the
second application example (see Section 10.2. Incoming feeder, Basic B01). In this
application two different trip signals are used: Trip 1 for opening of the circuit
breaker of the incoming feeder and Trip 2 for opening of the circuit breaker of the
transformer feeder. In this application separate power output relays are used for Trip
2 and CBFP (circuit breaker failure protection) function.

12.1.4.2. Indication and control connections


The connections for indication and control can be implemented as described in first
application example (see Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01), except the
signals for the open and close buttons that in this example are disconnected. Local
control can be executed by HMI according to the instructions in REX 521 Operator’s
Manual (see Section 1.3. Related documents).

210
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

12.1.5. Implementations
In the sections below a few implementation examples for the standard configuration
H01 are presented.

12.1.5.1. Blocking principles


The blocking principles presented in the application example Section 12.2.
Incoming feeder, High H02 are applicable, but different overcurrent protection
stages have been used.

12.1.5.2. Circuit-breaker failure protection


All of the current-based protection functions in the standard configuration H01
provide a delayed trip signal CBFP after the trip signal unless the fault has not
disappeared during the set CBFP time delay. In the circuit-breaker failure protection,
the CBFP output can be used for operating an upstream circuit breaker.
The settings for breaker failure are set separately for each protection function. For
example, to set the CBFP time for 3I>> -> go to
Main menu\Protection\3I>> ->\Control setting where it is
possible to set the CBFP time from 100 ms to 1000 ms. The control parameter
Trip pulse sets the width of the trip output signal, but also of the CBFP output
signal.
The CBFP signals from the protection functions are routed to the output signals via
the output switchgroups. These settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\CBFP. The CBFP signal is
then connected to any of the output relays via
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\, and in this example the
circuit-breaker failure signal is connected to the power output 1, PO1.

12.1.5.3. Trip-circuit supervision


The trip-circuit supervision is available for the HSPO1 relay. If the resistance of the
trip circuit exceeds a certain limit, for instance due to a bad contact or oxidation, the
supervision function will be activated and a trip-circuit supervision alarm signal will
be provided after an adjustable delay time. The settings for the function can be found
in Main menu\Cond. monit.\TCS1\.
To avoid unnecessary alarms, trip-circuit supervision can be blocked by
the BS signal, which disables the supervision output when the circuit breaker is
open. The BS signal is configured to be operated by the “CB pos. open” status from
the selected digital input. The BS signal can be connected via the switchgroup in
Main menu\Input SWGRP\TCS1\. The default setting of the parameter is
“Not in use”.
Another solution is to use an external resistor to prevent the TCS1 alarm. Refer to
REX 521 Technical Reference Manual, General (see Section 1.3. Related
documents) for more information about the trip-circuit supervision.

• True RMS measurement of phase currents
• True RMS measurement of phase-to-phase voltages

• Fundamental frequency active power [kW]
• Fundamental frequency reactive power [kVAr]
• Fundamental frequency displacement power factor cos (φ)

12.2.3. Protection
All the necessary settings for the protection functions can be set via the Relay
Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Protection\.

12.2.3.1. Overcurrent protection


In the example of the incoming feeder application, the stage 3I> of the overcurrent
protection of the incoming feeder operate time selectively as a non-directional
overcurrent back-up protection of the outgoing feeders. The stage 3I>--> is used for
the directional overcurrent protection of the parallel incoming feeders to disconnect
faulty feeder from the network. The stage 3I>> is used for the non-directional short-
circuit protection of the busbar system.
The directional low-set stage 3I>--> is set to look into the protected line. This means
it is set to operate in reverse direction. The definite time or IDMT mode can be used.
The directional stage 3I>--> of the incoming feeder provides blocking signal to the
3I>>> stage of the bus sectionalizer. Also it will provide blocking signal for the 3I>>
stages of the parallel incoming feeders. The current setting of the directional stage
looking in reverse direction can be 50% of the normal full load of the protected
circuit.
If the fault should occur in the busbar system, the stage 3I>> of the bus sectionalizer
provides blocking signal to the incoming feeders and the 3I>>> stage of the
overcurrent protection of the bus sectionalizer provides a trip signal to the bus
sectionalizer. When the fault is limited to the one busbar sector the 3I>> stage of the
overcurrent protection of the incoming feeder provides a trip signal to the circuit
breaker of the incoming feeder.
If a fault occurs in the feeder, the overcurrent protection relay of the outgoing feeder
provides a blocking signal to the overcurrent protection relays of the bus
sectionalizer and incoming feeders. Therefore it is possible to use a minimum
operate time of 100 ms for the overcurrent protection 3I>>> stage of the bus
sectionalizer and for the 3I>> stage of the incoming feeders when a fault in the
busbar system occurs.

214
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The needed time for blocking includes:

Start time of the relay + Input delay on the relay + Retardation time + Margin
(40 ms) to be blocked (30 ms) (20 ms)
(10 ms)

The set operate time of a back-up protection stage 3I> of the incoming feeder can be
calculated as follows:

Time grading + Operate time of the


protection relay of the bus
sectionalizer

The time grading includes (definite time):

2 X Tolerance of the + Operation time + Retardation time + Saturation and delay


relays’ operate times of the CB of the relay margin

As an example the time grading can be:


2 x 25 ms + 50 ms + 30 ms + 20 ms = 150 ms
Back-up protection can be realized with the circuit-breaker failure protection
function of the protection relay. A fast back-up function can be achieved because the
safety margin can be omitted when setting the CBFP time. The CBFP function
requires external wiring from the protection relay of the LV-side incoming feeder to
the relay of the HV-side in-feeder. Notice that in this application example the CBFP
function is only operating in the HV side of the transformer, but fault current will be
fed from the other direction as well if the fault is between the LV- and the HV-side
circuit breakers of the transformer feeder.
The settings for the overcurrent protections can be found in:
Main menu\Protection\3I>-->\ 3I> \3I>>\Setting group 1\
where the parameters Operation mode, Start current and Operate
time for the function can be set. In Main menu\Protection\3I_\Control
setting\ can, for example, the Drop-off time and the length of the trip
signal, Trip pulse, be set. The data of the three last operations, start or trip, are
recorded and the values of the most recent operation can be found in
Main menu\Protection\3I>_\Recorded data1\…3\.

12.2.4. Connections
All the necessary settings for the connections and signal routings can be set via the
Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI.

12.2.4.1. Protection signal routing


The settings for the protection signal routing can be implemented as described in the
second application example (see Section 10.2. Incoming feeder, Basic B01). In this
application example two different trip signals are used: Trip 1 for opening the circuit
breaker of the incoming feeder and Trip 2 for opening the circuit breaker of the
transformer feeder. In this application example separate power output relays are
used for Trip 2 and CBFP (circuit-breaker failure protection) function.

215
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

12.2.4.2. Indication and control connections


The connections for indication and control can be implemented as described in the
first application example (see Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01), except the
signals for the open and close buttons that in this example are disconnected. Local
control can be executed via HMI according to the instructions in REX 521
Operator’s Manual (see Section 1.3. Related documents).

12.2.5. Implementations
In the sections below a few implementation examples for the standard configuration
H02 are presented.

12.2.5.1. Blocking signal received from the outgoing feeder and the bus
sectionalizer
The start signals from the overcurrent protection of the outgoing feeder and bus
sectionalizer can be connected in order to block the overcurrent protection stage on
the incoming feeder. There are two input blocking signals, Blocking 1 and Blocking
2, which can have different functions depending on the different protections. See
Fig. 12.2.5.1.-1.
On the overcurrent stages 3I>-->, 3I> and 3I>>, the Blocking 1 input signal is
connected to the BS1 input and the Blocking 2 input signal is connected to the BS2
input of the function. In this application example, the BS1 will stop the DT or IDTM
timer and the BS2 will block the trip signal. Refer to the CD-ROM Technical
Descriptions of Functions (see Section 1.3. Related documents) for more
information about the different protection function blocks.
In this application example the digital input DI9 is connected to the input signal
Blocking 1 and then routed to the BS1 input of the overcurrent stage 3I>>. The
Blocking 1 signal can be found in Main menu\Configuration\Input
Signals\Blocking 1\ with DI9 is selected. The checksum for the SWGRP in
Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\Blocking 1\ should be 8
to the block 3I>>.

12.2.5.2. Blocking signal from 3I>--> stage to 3I>> stage


In addition to the blocking described in Section 11.2.5.1. Start signal from the
second residual voltage stage to release blocking the blocking signal from the
directional overcurrent stage 3I>--> can be used for blocking the 3I>> stage of the
same relay. With this arrangement we can set the operating time of the 3I>> shorter.
External wiring is needed for this blocking. The start signal of the 3I>--> is routed
to the signal output SO1. The output is connected to the input DI9 which is routing
blocking signal to the BS1 input of the overcurrent stage 3I>> as described in
Section 11.2.5.1. Start signal from the second residual voltage stage to release
blocking.

12.2.5.3. Circuit-breaker failure protection


All of the current-based protection functions in the standard configuration H02
provide a delayed trip signal CBFP after the trip signal unless the fault has not
disappeared during the set CBFP time delay. In the circuit-breaker failure protection,
the CBFP output can be used for operating an upstream circuit breaker.
The settings for breaker failure are set separately for each protection function. For
example, to set the CBFP time for 3I>>--> go to
Main menu\Protection\3I>>-->\Control setting where it is
possible to set the CBFP time from 100 ms to 1000 ms. The control parameter
Trip pulse sets the width of the trip output signal, but also of the CBFP output
signal.
The CBFP signals from the protection functions are routed to the output signals via
the output switchgroups. These settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\CBFP. The CBFP signal is

217
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

then connected to any of the output relays via


Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\, and in this example the
circuit-breaker failure signal is connected to the power output 1, PO1.

12.2.5.4. Trip-circuit supervision


The trip-circuit supervision is available for the HSPO1 relay. If the resistance of the
trip circuit exceeds a certain limit, for instance due to a bad contact or oxidation, the
supervision function will be activated and a trip-circuit supervision alarm signal will
be provided after an adjustable delay time. The settings for the function can be found
in Main menu\Cond. monit.\TCS1\.
To avoid unnecessary alarms, trip-circuit supervision can be blocked by the BS
signal, which disables the supervision output when the circuit breaker is open. The
BS signal is configured to be operated by the “CB pos. open” status from the selected
digital input. The BS signal can be connected via the switchgroup in
Main menu\Input SWGRP\TCS1\. The default setting of the parameter is
“Not in use”.
Another solution is to use an external resistor to prevent the TCS1 alarm. Refer to
REX 521 Technical Reference Manual, General (see Section 1.3. Related
documents) for more information about the trip-circuit supervision.

12.3. Bus sectionalizer, High H03

12.3.1. Features
This application example describes a bus sectionalizer of a single busbar including:
• Overcurrent protection
• Synchro-check and
• Voltage-check function
The network can be compensated, isolated, resistance or solidly earthed. Three-
phase current measurement is established with a set of current transformers. Phase-
to-phase voltage measurements are established with voltage transformers in both
sections of the busbar.
The High H03 variant of REX 521 is selected to be used in this application because
of the synchro-check and voltage-check functionality. This selection makes it
possible to extend the automatic supervision functionality in the substation. The
synchro-check function does not allow closing of the bus sectionalizer if the
operation criteria are not fulfilled.

All the necessary settings for the protection functions can be set via the Relay
Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Protection\.

12.3.3.1. Overcurrent protection


Overcurrent protection of the bus sectionalizer is used for disconnecting the faulty
sector of the busbar from the healthy sector to minimize disturbances in distribution
of electrical energy.
In the example of the bus sectionalizer application, the stage 3I> of the overcurrent
protection of the bus sectionalizer and incoming feeder operate time selectively as a
back-up protection of the outgoing feeders. The stage 3I>> is used for blocking of
the incoming feeders. The stage 3I>>> is used for short-circuit protection of the
busbar system.
If a fault should occur in the busbar system, the stage 3I>> of the bus sectionalizer
provides blocking signal to the 3I>> stage of the incoming feeders. Also, the 3I>>>
stage of the overcurrent protection of the bus sectionalizer provides a trip signal to
the bus sectionalizer circuit breaker.
When a fault is limited to one busbar sector, the blocking from the 3I>> stage of the
bus-sectionalizer overcurrent protection disappears and the 3I>> stage of the
overcurrent protection of the incoming feeder provides a trip signal to the circuit
breaker of the incoming feeder.
If a fault occurs in the feeder, the overcurrent protection relay of the outgoing feeder
provides a blocking signal to the overcurrent protection relays of the bus
sectionalizer and incoming feeders. Therefore, it is possible to use a minimum
operate time of 100 ms for the overcurrent protection 3I>>> stage of the bus
sectionalizer and for the 3I>> stage of the incoming feeders when a fault in the
busbar system occurs.
The needed time for blocking includes:

Start time of the relay + Input delay on the relay + Retardation time + Margin
(40 ms) to be blocked (30 ms) (20 ms)
(10 ms)

The set operate time of a back-up protection stage 3I> of the bus sectionalizer can
be calculated as follows:

Time grading + Operate time of the


protection relay of the
outgoing feeder

221
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The time grading includes (definite time):

2 X Tolerance of the + Operation time + Retardation time + Saturation and delay


relays’ operate times of the CB of the relay margin

As an example the time grading can be:


2 x 25 ms + 50 ms + 30 ms + 20 ms = 150 ms
Back-up protection can be realized with the circuit-breaker failure protection
function of the protection relay. A fast back-up function can be achieved because the
safety margin can be omitted when setting the CBFP time. The CBFP function
requires external wiring from the protection relay of the bus sectionalizer to the relay
of the in-feeder.
The settings for the overcurrent protections can be found in:
Main menu\Protection\3I>\ … \3I>>>\Setting group 1\ where
the parameters Operation mode, Start current and Operate time for
the function can be set. In Main menu\Protection\3I>\Control
setting\ can for example the Drop-off time and the length of the trip signal
Trip pulse be set. The data of the three last operations, start or trip, are recorded
and the values of the most recent operation can be found in
Main menu\Protection\3I>\Recorded data1\…3\.

12.3.3.2. Synchro-check function


In this application example where the synchro-check function is used for ensuring
the condition between two busbar sections fed by own transformers, the voltage
difference between busbar sections is the most important criterion. The synchro-
check function does not allow the circuit breaker to be closed if the voltage
difference is too high. If the voltage difference is high, the inrush current between
the busbar sectors can be too high. In an application where a generator is connected
to one of the busbar sectors other criteria are also important and the need for the
synchro-check functionality is unavoidable.
The synchro-check function can be used in two different operating conditions. The
most typical case is one where both sides of the circuit breaker to be closed are live
and thus the synchronism is always checked before the circuit breaker is given the
permission to close. In an other situation one or both sides of the circuit breaker to
be closed are dead and, consequently, the frequency and phase differences cannot be
measured, in which case the relay checks the energizing direction.
Operation criteria of the function are:
• Voltages must be in accordance with the energizing direction.
• In cases “Live-Dead”, “Dead-Live” and “Dead-Dead” no other conditions are
checked.
• In the case “Live-Live” also the following must be fulfilled:
• ∆U< dU setting
• ∆f< df setting
• ∆ϕ< dphi setting

222
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

Before the function block allows the closing of the CB, it ensures that the phase
difference remains within the setting range until the CB closes.
The command mode is used as a basic control principle of the synchro-check
function. In command mode, the synchro-check function directly uses the output
signal to close the circuit breaker. The close command for example from the HMI is
connected to the synchro-check function. When the close command is activated, the
synchro-check function checks the closing criteria and if they are fulfilled, it will
route the command to the output relay of the protection relay. In this application
example the close signal is connected to the power output PO3.
The command mode principle means that the interlocking logic related to the control
functionality will affect the synchro-check function as well. If blocking is needed it
can be carried out by using the ready-made interlocking logic, for example in a case
where the phase-to-phase voltage is missing from either side of the circuit breaker
because of the open miniature circuit breaker (MCB) of the measurement circuit.

12.3.4. Connections
All the necessary settings for the connections and signal routings can be set via the
Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI.

12.3.4.1. Protection signal routing


The settings for the protection signal routing can be implemented as described in the
first application example (see Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01).

12.3.4.2. Indication and control connections


The connections for indication and control can be implemented as described in the
first application example (see Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01), except the
signals for the open and close buttons that in this example are disconnected. Local
control can be executed via the HMI according to the instructions in REX 521
Operator’s Manual (see Section 1.3. Related documents).

12.4.1. Features
This application example describes an outgoing feeder of a single busbar including:
• Autoreclose function
• Overcurrent protection
• Directional and non-directional earth-fault protection

• Thermal overload protection for cable or line
This application example is an optional solution for the seventh application example
(chapter 10.3), if extended earth-fault protection against a cross-country fault is
required or wider range of measurements is needed.
The network is either compensated or isolated. Three-phase current measurement is
established with a set of current transformers. The neutral current I0b is measured
with a cable current transformer and the neutral current I0 is measured with the sum
connection of the phase current transformers. The residual voltage is measured with
a set of voltage transformers in an open-delta connection. Phase-to-phase voltage
measurements are established with voltage transformers.

12.4.2. Measurements
Following measurements are supported in this application example:
• True RMS measurement of phase currents
• True RMS measurement of neutral current
• True RMS measurement of phase-to-phase voltages
• True RMS measurement of residual voltage
• Fundamental frequency active power [kW]
• Fundamental frequency reactive power [kVAr]
• Fundamental frequency displacement power factor cos (φ)
• Power factor PF including harmonics
• Fundamental frequency active energy [kWh]
• Fundamental frequency reactive energy [kvarh]
• System frequency measurement

12.4.3. Measurement connections


The three-phase current, neutral current transformers and residual voltage
transformer are connected to the connector X1.1 on the rear panel. The rated currents
of the measuring input are 1 A and 5 A and additionally, for earth fault, 0.2 A and 1
A. The rated values for voltage are 100 V, 110 V, 115 V and 120 V.
In this application two neutral current measurements are used. The neutral current
I0b measured by a cable transformer is used for directional earth-fault protection and
the neutral current I0 measured by the sum connection of the phase current
transformers is used for non-directional earth-fault protection.
The technical data of the current transformers and the voltage transformer are set via
the Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Meas. devices\.
Refer to REX 521 Technical Reference Manual, General (see Section 1.3. Related
documents) for further information about how to set the rated currents and voltage.

12.4.4. Protection
All the necessary settings for the protection functions can be set via the Relay
Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Protection\.
The overcurrent, the phase discontinuity and thermal overload protection can be
implemented in the same way as in the first application example Section 10.1.
Outgoing feeder, Basic B01, and the directional earth-fault protection as in the fifth
application example Section 11.1. Outgoing feeder, Medium M01.

12.4.4.1. Non-directional earth-fault protection


A double earth fault occurs when two phase-conductors get in galvanic connection
with the earth. This can occur in the same line or between two lines when the fault
current has to flow through the earth. This fault type is also known as a cross-country
fault.

Fig. 12.4.4.1.-1 Cross-country fault


Detection of a cross-country fault can be implemented by non-directional earth-fault
protection. In a case where the fault current is lower than the start current level of
the overcurrent protection because of the fault resistance, the separated non-
directional high-set earth-fault stage I0>> can be used for detecting the fault. With
this arrangement it is also possible to get clear indication of the fault type if the
settings are selected so that this protection stage will operate only in double earth
fault situations.
In H04 standard configuration the measurement channel I0 for earth-fault current
measurement is fixedly connected to the non-directional earth-fault stages.

12.4.4.2. Autoreclose function


The autoreclose function can be implemented as described in the seventh application
example (Section 11.3. Outgoing feeder, Medium M02)

12.4.5. Connections
All the necessary settings for the connections and signal routings can be set via the
Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI.

12.4.5.1. Protection signal routing


The settings for the protection signal routing can be implemented as described in the
first application example (refer to Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01).

12.4.5.2. Indication and control connections


The connections for indication and control can be implemented as described in the
first application example (Section 10.1. Outgoing feeder, Basic B01), except the
signals for the open and close buttons that in this example are disconnected to free
the digital inputs for other functionality. Local control can be executed via the HMI
according to the instructions in REX 521 Operator’s Manual (see Section 1.3.
Related documents).

12.4.6. Implementations

The earth-fault protection can be implemented as described in the second application
example (Section 10.2. Incoming feeder, Basic B01)

12.5.3.3. Overvoltage and undervoltage protection


Faults in the network or a faulty tap changer or voltage regulator of a power
transformer may cause abnormal busbar voltages. The overvoltage and undervoltage
protection is used for preventing possible damages to the devices connected to the
network.
In this application the overvoltage and undervoltage protection is included in the
functionality of the protection relay of the incoming feeder. In the overvoltage or
undervoltage situation the circuit breaker of the incoming feeder will be opened.
The overvoltage protection includes two protection stages: a low stage U> and a
high stage U>>. The low stage can be set to the definite-time or inverse-time
operation. The definite-time operation is used with the high-set stage.
Similarly, the undervoltage protection includes two protection stages: a low stage
U< and a high stage U<<. The low stage can be set to the definite-time or inverse-
time operation. The definite-time operation is used with the high set stage.
An operational characteristic example on overvoltage and undervoltage protection
is presented in the picture below (Fig. 12.5.3.-1).

The trip signal (Trip 1) of the protection functions is routed to the high speed power
output HSPO1 (x4.2.1/2/3/4) as well as the control-open signal for the circuit
breaker. The trip signals from the protection functions are routed to the output relay
via the output switchgroups. These settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\.
As the HSPO1 is always routed to the “Trip 1" output signal, the settings are made
directly in Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Trip 1, where
the checksum of the settings is displayed (255 by default).
Using the HMI:
To change the settings for Trip 1 go to Output SWGRP\Trip 1 and press the
[E]-button. The different protection functions are displayed one at a time. By
pressing the [→] or [←] navigation push button, it is possible to scroll between the
different protections. By pressing the [↑] or [↓] navigation push button, the specific
protection function trip signal can be connected or disconnected. When the three-
stage overcurrent (3I> 3I>> and 3I>>>), two-stage earth fault (I0> and I0>>), two-
stage overvoltage (U> and U>>) and two-stage undervoltage (U< and U<<)
protection is selected the checksum for Trip 1 is 991. When the earth-fault protection
stage Io>>> is selected the checksum for Trip 2 is 32.

• System frequency measurement

12.6.3. Protection
All the necessary settings for the protection functions can be set by means of the
Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Protection\.

12.6.3.1. Residual voltage protection


In a compensated or isolated network, a three-stage residual overvoltage protection
can be used for the main earth-fault protection of the busbar system and for the back-
up protection of the network. On the busbar, the residual voltage can be measured
with a set of voltage transformers in an open-delta connection.
The low stage Uo> can be given a sensitive setting and have an alarming function.
The high stage Uo>> can work as back-up for the outgoing feeders and perform trip
on the incoming feeder and outgoing feeders. The instantaneous stage Uo>>> can
be configured as busbar protection and provide trip to incoming feeder and outgoing
feeders.
The settings for the residual voltage protection are made in the settings for the
residual overvoltage functions and can be found in
Main menu\Protection\Uo>\ … \Uo>>>\.

12.6.3.2. Overvoltage and undervoltage protection


Faults in the network or a faulty tap changer or voltage regulator of a power
transformer may cause abnormal busbar voltages. The overvoltage and undervoltage
protection is used to prevent possible damages to the devices connected to the
network.
In this application the overvoltage and undervoltage protection is included to the
functionality of the protection relay of the measurement cubicle. In the overvoltage
or undervoltage situation the circuit breakers of the outgoing feeders will be opened.
The overvoltage protection includes two protection stages: a low stage U> and a
high stage U>>. The low stage can be set to the definite-time or inverse-time
operation. The definite-time operation is used with the high set stage.
Similarly, the undervoltage protection includes two protection stages: a low stage
U< and a high stage U<<. The low stage can be set to the definite-time or inverse-

12.6.3.3. Underfrequency protection


The underfrequency protection is included in the functionality of the protection relay
of the measurement cubicle. The underfrequency protection includes two protection
stages: a low stage f< and a high stage f<<.
In this application two load shedding groups are used. The low stage f< is used for
disconnecting the load shedding group 1. The high stage f<< is used for
disconnecting the load shedding group 2.
The trip signal of the f< stage is connected to the power output relay PO2 via Trip 2
signal. This trip signal is used for disconnecting the outgoing feeders of the first load
shedding group.
The trip signal of the f<< stage is connected to the power output relay PO3 via
Trip 3 signal. Also the residual voltage stage Uo>>, under- and overvoltage
protection trips are connected to this power output and those signals have to be
connected to all outgoing feeders. Therefore the trip signal of the high stage f<< will
be connected to all circuit breakers of the outgoing feeders. All outgoing feeders are
included in the load shedding group 2.

12.6.4. Connections
All the necessary settings for the connections and signal routings can be set via the
Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI.

12.6.4.1. Protection signal routing


The trip signal (Trip 1) of the residual voltage stages Uo>> and Uo>>> protection
function are routed to the high speed power output HSPO1 (x4.2.1/2/3/4).

237
REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The trip signal (Trip 2) of the underfrequency stage f< protection function is routed
to the power output PO2 (x4.2.14/15).
The trip signals (Trip 3) of the residual voltage stages Uo>>> and Uo>>,
undervoltage, overvoltage and underfrequency stage f<< protection function are
routed to the power output PO3 (x4.2.17/18).
The trip signals from the protection functions are routed to the output relay via the
output switchgroups. These settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\.
As the HSPO1 is always named as the “Trip 1" output signal, the settings are made
directly in Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Trip 1 where
the checksum of the settings is displayed (255 by default).
The Trip 2 has to be set to PO2 and the Trip 3 to PO3 in
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\. The trip signals from the
protection functions can be set to the correct trip group in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Trip 2…3 where the
checksum of the settings is displayed (255 by default).
Using the HMI:
To change the settings for Trip 1 go to Output SWGRP\Trip 1 and press the
[E]-button. The different protection functions are displayed one at a time. By
pressing the [→] or [←] navigation push button, it is possible to scroll between the
different protections. By pressing the [↑] or [↓] navigation push button, the specific
protection function trip signal can be connected or disconnected.
To change the settings for PO2 and PO3 go to Output Signals\PO2…PO3 and
press the [E]-button. The different signals (Trip 2, Trip 3, CBFP, etc.) are displayed
one at a time. By pressing the [→] or [←] navigation push button, it is possible to
scroll between the different signals. By pressing the [↑] or [↓] navigation push
button, the specific signal can be selected. Select the Trip 2 for the PO2 and Trip 3
for the PO3.
To define settings for Trip 2 and Trip 3 the same principle as shown above for the
Trip1 can be used.
When the residual voltage stages Uo>>> and Uo>> are selected the checksum for
Trip 1 is 384.
When the underfrequency protection stage f< is selected for the load shedding group
1, the checksum for Trip 2 is 512.
When the residual voltage stages Uo>>> and Uo>>, two-stage overvoltage (U> and
U>>), two-stage undervoltage (U< and U<<) and underfrequency protection stage
f<< are selected the checksum for Trip 3 is 2492.

12.6.4.2. Indication and control connections

12.7.3. Protection
All the necessary settings for the protection functions can be set via Relay Setting
Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in Main menu\Protection\.

12.7.3.1. Thermal overload protection


Thermal Overload Protection (3Ithdev>) constitutes a full three-phase thermal
overload protection. When applied to motor protection, the thermal unit forms an
overload protection with two time-constants, separately for both the stator and the
rotor.
Two setting groups (basic settings and advanced settings) are available. Normally,
the user sets the motor data only to the basic settings, and the relay automatically
calculates the advanced settings.
• The type of the motor to be protected is selected by means of the Device type
setting.
• The Starting current setting is the ratio of the motor starting current to full load
current.
• The Starting time setting is the maximum permitted starting time for motor.
• No of starts setting specifies how many times the motor is allowed to be started
from cold condition state (assuming the motor has the ambient temperature).
• Cooling factor setting determines how slowly (compared to running condition)
the motor cools down in case the motor is stopped. It can be defined also as a
ratio of cooling constant (for a stopped motor) to heating constant.
(τ cooling / τ heating) A normal, totally enclosed motor cooled by a fan on the rotor
shaft generally has the setting of 4...6.
• By means of Ambient temp. setting, the thermal protection can be given a
standard temperature reference level (typically 40°C).
• For other basic setting parameters, the factory default values can be used as a
starting point. The Gen&Trafo τ setting applies only if the Device type setting is
set to be a generator or transformer.

12.7.3.2. Start-up supervision (stall protection)


The thermal stress during any single start-up condition is monitored by the start-up
supervision (Is2t n<), which monitors the thermal stress equivalent product I2xt.
The Start current setting is set directly to motor starting current value, whereas the
Start time setting is set about 10% above the normal start-up time in order to give a
safety margin for the operation.
For example, if the motor starting current is 6.2 x FLC and the starting time is 11
seconds, the Start current setting = 6.2 and Start time setting =11 s x 1.1 ≈ 12
seconds.
Check-up of the need of speed switch
In case the start-up time of the motor is smaller than the maximum stall time for cold
condition, no speed switch information is needed for protection.
In many applications, for example in ExE-type drives, the motor is not allowed to
be in a stalled condition as long as its own start-up time, that is, the maximum stall
time is shorter than the start-up time. To find out whether the motor is speeding up
or not, a speed switch on the motor shaft is used. Refer to Fig. 12.7.1.-2 for an
example of speed switch connection to the inputs of REX 521.
The speed switch information is used to control the stall protection (the operation
mode of Is2t n< is set to “I2t & stall”). In case the motor starts accelerating, the speed
switch will inhibit the stall protection trip and leave the protection to the thermal
unit. If the motor does not speed up, tripping will be carried out after the Stall time.

12.7.3.3. Cumulative start-up counter


A motor manufacturer may give a statement of how many times a motor may be
restarted within a certain time interval. The totalling check of start-up time acts as a
backup to the thermal protection by ensuring that restarts cannot be made too
frequently, in other words that the manufacturer recommendations are not exceeded.
The start-up time counting possibility is integrated in the function of Is2t n< so that
no extra timers are needed. To use the start-up time counter, you have to determine
two settings.
Firstly, you have to define the restart inhibit level (Time limit setting) in start
seconds. Secondly, the module has to be told how rapidly the accumulated amount
of start seconds should be counted down.

The equation for restart inhibit level is:


Time limit = ( n – 1 ) × t – margin
where
n = required number of starts
t = starting time of the motor (in seconds)
margin = safety margin, about 10...20%

244
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The equation for Countdown rate setting is:


t
= -----------
t reset
where
t = starting time (in seconds)
treset = time (in hours) to reset one start-up stress

If it is assumed that the motor is recommended to be started at most three times


within eight hours, and that the start-up time is 20 seconds each, the situation
described in the diagram (see Fig. 12.7.3.3.-1) occurs if all the allowed three starts
in a row are made:.

A052069

Fig. 12.7.3.3.-1 Operation of start-up time counter


The three 20 second starts add up to a total of 60 seconds. Right after the third start
has been initiated, the inhibit should be activated, and the fourth start attempt is
therefore not allowed. This means that the setting of the Time limit in this case
is set to 41 seconds. Note that the start sequence still proceeds even though the
inhibit is activated. The inhibit is only interrupting the close path to the circuit-
breaker, and thereby preventing further start-ups.
Furthermore, the recommendation of at most three starts within eight hours means
that the count-down should reach the inhibit level after 8 hours in order for it to allow
a single new start. In this example it means that it should be counted down 20
seconds in 8 hours, that is, the Countdown rate setting is 20 s/8 h = 2.5 s/h.

For readability reasons the time scaling in the diagram is not the
same for start-up versus cooling-down sequences.

REX 521 Protection Relay 1MRS751802-MUM

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

12.7.3.4. Short-circuit (high-set overcurrent) protection


The high-set overcurrent protection (3I>> or 3I>>>) constitutes an interwinding
short-circuit protection for the motor and a phase-to-phase short circuit protection
for the feeder cable.
It is recommended to use doubling function which automatically doubles the high-
set overcurrent setting during start-up. Thus, the current setting can be given a value
lower than the motor starting current. Normally, the setting can be chosen to
0.70...0.90 times the motor starting current. With a suitable operating time set, this
feature enables the high-set overcurrent unit to operate in case the motor is jammed
while the motor is running. Generally, a setting value as low as 75% gives good
results but if the inrush current causes trippings during start-up, choose a higher
setting.
The doubling is controlled by the Is2t n< function block. The checksum for the
switchgroup in Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\Double
should be 1 to double the 3I>> settings, and 2 to double the 3I>>> settings.

12.7.3.5. Unbalance protection


The negative phase sequence protection (I2> and I2>>) monitors the current
asymmetry of the network and protects the motor against heavy network unbalance
or single-phasing. Typically, the operating time of the protection follows an inverse
time characteristic.
Selecting Start value -setting
The Start value -setting is the negative phase sequence (NPS) current, which
the machine is able to continuously withstand without damage. The setting is
selected as instructed by the machine manufacturer.
In case the maximum permitted negative phase sequence voltage is known (instead
of NPS current), the NPS current is approximately equal to the product of the NPS
voltage and the ratio of starting current to full load current.
Example:
Motor start-up current is 6 x FLC, the highest permitted NPS voltage is 4% and
thereby the estimated NPS current is 6 x 4% = 24%.
Selecting K-setting
The machine constant K is equal to the I22 x t capability of the machine, as stated by
the machine manufacturer. It defines the rotor capability of accepting additional
heating caused by negative sequence current.
A conservative estimate is calculated as:

175
K 2 = --------------2-
( I LR )
where
ILR = locked-rotor current (times the Full Load Current of the motor

246
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

Example:
Motor start-up current is 5.2 x FLC and thereby the estimated K-setting is
175/(5.2)2 = 6.5%.
The most severe unbalance is caused by an broken phase. It should be checked that
in case of broken (open) phase the operation time of the unbalance protection is
shorter than the permissible locked-rotor jam time.

12.7.3.6. Phase reversal protection


The separate phase-reversal protection (3I()) checks for phase reversal conditions
based on the phase order of currents. The protection operates within a set definite
time after detecting wrong phase sequence.
Alternatively, the phase-sequence voltage protection (U1U2<>_1) can be used for
phase-reversal protection if it is set to trip at high negative phase sequence voltage.
Because the protection is based on voltage instead of current, this protection can be
used to inhibit the starting of the motor on wrong phase sequence.
The phase-reversal protections should be taken out of use for a motor which is used
also with a reversed direction of rotation.

12.7.3.7. Undercurrent protection


The undercurrent protection (3I<) operates upon a sudden loss of load. The
protection is used, for example, for submersible pumps where the cooling is based
on a constant flow of liquid. If this flow is interrupted, the cooling capacity of the
motor is reduced. This condition is detected by the undercurrent unit, which trips the
motor. This function block is only found in H07.

12.7.3.8. Fuse fail protection


If an undervoltage or phase sequence voltage protection is used, the fuse failure
supervision (FUSEF) should be used to block these protections. This will prevent
disruptive tripping (for example fuse blow) in case of failure in the voltage
measuring circuits.

12.7.4. Condition monitoring

12.7.4.1. Operation time counter


Operation time counting (in hours) is necessary for some motors. The TIME1
function block uses the motor runs-indication for counting the operate time. Refer
to Section 12.7.5.3. Indication of motor status on how to enable motor status
indication. The cumulative counting value is recorded.
The ALARM output of the TIME1 function block can be connected to Alarm 1 or
Alarm 2 output signal (Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\).
The operate time alarm can also be connected to the Alarm LED 8
(Main menu\Configuration\Alarm LEDs\).

12.7.5. Connections
All the necessary settings for the connections and signal routings can be set by using
Relay Setting Tool or a local HMI.

12.7.5.1. Protection signal routing


The settings for the protection signal routing can be implemented as described in
Section 10.2.3.3. Protection signal routing.

12.7.5.2. Indication and control connections


The connections for indication and control can be implemented as described in
Section 10.2.3.4. Indication and control connections with the exception of the
signals for the open and close buttons that are disconnected in this example. Local
control can be executed via HMI according to the instructions in REX 521
Operator's Manual (see Section 1.3. Related documents).
If the TOL3Dev or MotStart block are not in use, they should be disconnected from
the Restart Enable signal by the SWGRP (10V325).

12.7.5.3. Indication of motor status


The motor statuses “Stop” and “Runs” can be indicated both remotely and locally
by the function block I<->O IND3. Indication can be based on the measured current
level, and/or on the state of the speed switch binary input, or on the measured current
level and circuit breaker state. The open indication of I<->O IND3 function block
corresponds to “Stop” status and close indication corresponds to “Runs” status of the
motor.
The basis for the motor status indication can be selected in
Main menu\Configuration\Input SWGRP\Motor status. The
different options are the following:

Table 12.7.-1 Motor status indication options


Option Description Checksum
STOP:CB & I Motor stop indication by current limit (low 1
alarm) and circuit breaker open status input
STOP:I Motor stop indication by current limit (low 2
alarm)
STOP:I & Ind. Motor stop indication by current limit (low 4
alarm) and motor status input
STOP:Ind. Motor stop indication by speed switch input 8
RUNS:Ind. Motor runs indication by speed switch input 16
RUNS:I & Ind. Motor runs indication by current limit (high 32
alarm) and speed switch input
RUNS:I Motor runs indication by current limit Motor 64
runs indication by current limit (high alarm)
RUNS:CB & I Motor runs indication by current limit (high 128
alarm) and circuit breaker close status input

248
1MRS751802-MUM Protection Relay REX 521

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

For logical operation of motor status indication, the “Stop” and


“Runs” indications must be selected in pairs and the corresponding
checksums must be added together, for example:
STOP:Ind. and RUNS:Ind. checksum = 24.
The high and low alarm signals of the function block AI1 are used when the
measured current level is selected for indicating motor statuses “Stop” and “Runs”.
The settings for the AI1 can be made in
Main menu\Measurements\AI1\Control setting\.
The function block is set in use by using the Limit Selection parameter.

12.8.3. Protection
All the necessary settings for the protection functions can be set by means of the
Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Protection\.

12.8.3.1. Phase overcurrent protection


The overcurrent protection can be implemented as described in the second
application example (Section 10.2. Incoming feeder, Basic B01)

12.8.3.2. Earth-fault protection


The earth-fault protection can be implemented as described in the second application
example (Section 10.2. Incoming feeder, Basic B01)

12.8.3.3. Overvoltage and undervoltage protection


Faults in the network or a faulty tap changer or voltage regulator of a power
transformer may cause abnormal busbar voltages. The overvoltage and undervoltage
protection is used to prevent possible damages to devices connected to the network.
In this application the overvoltage and undervoltage protection is included in the
functionality of the protection relay of the incoming feeder. In the overvoltage or
undervoltage situation the circuit breaker of the incoming feeder will be opened.
The overvoltage protection includes two protection stages: a low stage U> and a
high stage U>>. The low stage can be set to definite-time or inverse-time operation.
Definite-time operation is used with the high-set stage.
Similarly, the undervoltage protection includes two protection stages: a low stage
U< and a high stage U<<. The low stage can be set to definite-time or inverse-time
operation. Definite-time operation is used with the high set stage.
An operational characteristic example on overvoltage and undervoltage protection
is presented in the following picture (Fig. 12.5.3.-1).

12.8.4. Connections
All the necessary settings for the connections and signal routings can be set via the
Relay Setting Tool or the local HMI.

12.8.4.1. Protection signal routing


The trip signal (Trip 1) of the protection functions is routed to the high speed power
output HSPO1 (x4.2.1/2/3/4) as well as the control-open signal for the circuit
breaker. The trip signals from the protection functions are routed to the output relay
via the output switchgroups. These settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\.
As the HSPO1 is always named as the “Trip 1" output signal, the settings are made
directly in Main menu\Configuration\Output SWGRP\Trip 1, where
the checksum of the settings is displayed (255 by default).
Using the HMI:
To change the settings for Trip 1 go to Output SWGRP\Trip 1 and press the
[E]-button. The different protection functions are displayed one at a time. By
pressing the [→] or [←] navigation push button, it is possible to scroll between the
different protections. By pressing the [↑] or [↓] navigation push button, the specific
protection function trip signal can be connected or disconnected. When the three-
stage overcurrent (3I> 3I>> and 3I>>>), two-stage earth fault (I0> and I0>>), two-
stage overvoltage (U> and U>>) and two-stage undervoltage (U< and U<<)
protection is selected the checksum for Trip 1 is 991. When the earth-fault protection
stage Io>>> is selected the checksum for Trip 2 is 32.

12.8.5.5. Disturbance recorder


The disturbance recorder (DREC) can be found in
Main menu\Measurement\DREC\. All of the measured current and voltage
signals as well as all of the start signals from the protection functions and the Trip 1
and Trip 2 signals are connected to the DREC in the H08 and H09 standard
configurations.

Technical Reference Manual, Standard

The recording can be triggered by any of the alternatives listed below:


• Triggering on the rising or falling edge of the protective start signals
• Triggering on current or voltage measurement
• Manual triggering via the HMI or with the external input signal
• Triggering via communication parameter
• Periodic triggering
Regardless of the triggering type, each recording generates the event E31. The
triggering time and reason are included in the recording. Number of recordings can
be viewed in Main menu\Measurements\DREC\Control setting\
# records.
External triggering can be made by means of the reserved input signal “DREC trig”
connected to one of the digital inputs. The settings can be found in
Main menu\Configuration\Input Signals\DREC trig.
Refer to the CD-ROM Technical Descriptions of Functions (MEDREC16) for more
information about the disturbance recorder.

12.8.5.6. Power quality


The power quality functions (PQ 3Inf and PQ 3Unf) can be found in
Main menu\Power Quality\PQ 3Inf and Main menu\Power
Quality\PQ 3Unf. The functions are used for measuring the harmonics and
monitoring the power quality in distribution networks.
The power quality function can be triggered by any of the alternatives listed below:
• Manual triggering via the HMI
• With the external input signal
• Triggering via communication parameter
• Preset time and date
External triggering can be made by means of the reserved input signals “PQ 3Inf
trig” and “PQ 3Unf trig” connected to the digital inputs. The settings can be found
in Main menu\Configuration\Input Signals\PQ 3Inf trig and
Main menu\Configuration\Input Signals\PQ 3Unf trig.
The functions can deliver the alarm signals “PQ 3Inf cum” and “PQ 3Unf cum”, an
output signal for exceeding a setting limit for cumulative probability of a harmonic
and the “PQ 3Inf har” and “PQ 3Unf har”, an output signal for exceeding a setting
limit for a harmonic. The alarm signals can be routed to the output contacts via the
switchgroups. The connection settings can be made in Main menu\
Configuration\Output SWGRP\Alarm 1\ or \Alarm 2\. The
Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 output signal can be then connected to an output relay and the
settings are done in
Main menu\Configuration\Output Signals\.
Refer to the CD-ROM Technical Descriptions of Functions (PQCU3H) for more
information about the power quality function.
