In the case of surface mounting on a panel,
the connection terminals are located above

Time-overcurrent protection
(ANSI 50, 50N, 51, 51N)
This function is based on the phase-selec-
tive measurement of the three phase cur-
rents and the earth current (four trans-
formers). Two definite-time overcurrent
protection elements (DMT) exist both for
the phases and for the earth. The current
threshold and the delay time can be set
within a wide range. In addition, inverse-
time overcurrent protection characteristics
(IDMTL) can be activated.

Instead of the predefined time characteris-

They are set as pairs of numbers or graphi-
cally in DIGSI 4.

Directional time-overcurrent protection

(ANSI 67, 67N)
Directional phase and earth protection are
separate functions. They operate in parallel
to the non-directional overcurrent elements.
Their pickup values and delay times can be
set separately. Definite-time and inverse-
time characteristics are offered. The tripping
characteristic can be rotated about ± 180 de-
grees.

By means of voltage memory, Directional characteristic of
directionality can be determined reliably the directional
time-overcurrent
even for close-in (local) faults. If the protection
switching device closes onto a fault and the
voltage is too low to determine direction,
directionality (directional decision) is
made with voltage from the voltage mem- 5
ory. If no voltage exists in the memory,
tripping occurs according to the coordina-
tion schedule.
For earth protection, users can choose
whether the direction is to be determined
via zero-sequence system or negative-se-
quence system quantities (selectable).
Using negative-sequence variables can be
advantageous in cases where the zero volt-
age tends to be very low due to unfavorable
zero-sequence impedances.

Communication
DNP 3.0 protocol

Power supply corporations use the serial
DNP 3.0 (Distributed Network Protocol)
for the station and network control levels.
SIPROTEC units function as DNP slaves,
supplying their information to a master
system or receiving information from it.
System solutions for protection and station

control
Together with the SICAM power automa-
tion system, SIPROTEC 4 can be used with
PROFIBUS-FMS. Over the low-cost elec-
trical RS485 bus, or interference-free via
the optical double ring, the units exchange
information with the control system.
5
Units featuring IEC 60870-5-103 interfaces
can be connected to SICAM in parallel via
the RS485 bus or radially by fiber-optic
link. Through this interface, the system is
open for the connection of units of other
manufacturers (see Fig. 5/87).
Fig. 5/90
Because of the standardized interfaces, System solution/communication
SIPROTEC units can also be integrated
into systems of other manufacturers or in
SIMATIC. Electrical RS485 or optical in-
terfaces are available. The optimum physi-
cal data transfer medium can be chosen
thanks to opto-electrical converters. Thus,
the RS485 bus allows low-cost wiring in
the cubicles and an interference-free opti-
cal connection to the master can be estab-
lished.
LSP2810.tif
For IEC 61850, an interoperable system so-

lution is offered with SICAM PAS. Via the
100 Mbits/s Ethernet bus, the units are Fig. 5/91
linked with PAS electrically or optically to Optical Ethernet communication module
the station PC. The interface is standard- for IEC 61850 with integrated Ethernet-switch
ized, thus also enabling direct connection
of units of other manufacturers to the
Ethernet bus. With IEC 61850, however,
the units can also be used in other manu-
facturers’ systems (see Fig. 5/89).

Typical connections
n Connection of current
and voltage transformers
Standard connection
For earthed networks, the earth current is
obtained from the phase currents by the
residual current circuit.

Connection for compensated networks

The figure shows the connection of two
phase-to-earth voltages and the VE voltage
of the open delta winding and a phase-
balance neutral current transformer for the
earth current. This connection maintains
maximum precision for directional earth-
fault detection and must be used in com-
pensated networks.

or compensated networks only
If directional earth-fault protection is not
used, the connection can be made with
only two phase current transformers. Di-
rectional phase short-circuit protection
can be achieved by using only two primary
transformers.

n Connection of circuit-breaker
Undervoltage releases
Undervoltage releases are used for auto-
matic tripping of high-voltage motors.
Example:
DC supply voltage of control system fails
and manual electric tripping is no longer
possible.
Automatic tripping takes place when volt-
age across the coil drops below the trip
limit. In Fig. 5/98, tripping occurs due to
failure of DC supply voltage, by automatic
opening of the live status contact upon
failure of the protection unit or by
short-circuiting the trip coil in event of
network fault.
Fig. 5/98 Undervoltage release with make contact (50, 51)

Typical applications
In Fig. 5/99 tripping is by failure of auxil-

iary voltage and by interruption of tripping
circuit in the event of network failure.
Upon failure of the protection unit, the
tripping circuit is also interrupted, since
contact held by internal logic drops back
into open position.
Trip circuit supervision (ANSI 74TC)

One or two binary inputs can be used for
monitoring the circuit-breaker trip coil in-
cluding its incoming cables. An alarm sig-
nal occurs whenever the circuit is
interrupted.
Lockout (ANSI 86)

All binary outputs can be stored like LEDs Fig. 5/99 Undervoltage trip with locking contact (trip signal 50 is inverted)

and reset using the LED reset key. The
lockout state is also stored in the event of
supply voltage failure. Reclosure can only
occur after the lockout state is reset.
