Description of Functionality
46BC Phase Unbalance/Broken Conductor
Element has settings for pickup level and DTL delay. With the
circuit breaker closed, if the NPS: PPS current ratio is above
setting this could be due to a broken conductor.

46NPS Negative Phase Sequence Overcurrent


Each element has user settings for pickup level and IDMTL or
DTL delay, the element operates if NPS current exceeds
setting and delay. NPS current elements can be used to
detect unbalances on the system or remote earth faults

Language Editor
The Language editor software gives the user the ability to
customize the text displayed in the relays, Menu structure
and instrumentation views. The tool allows a language file
to be created and transferred to the relay also containing
Western European characters.
The data acquisition via communication interface can be
done by Reydisp Evolution.

Serial Communications
The relay offers a USB serial port as standard on the front of
all units. All of the relays functions can be set on a PC using
Reydisp Evolution via the USB port. The connection is made
with a USB cable and operates with a ‘plug and play’
connection, so no pre-setting of the relay is required.

The front port can be switched off or set to use either the
DNP3.0, MODBUS-RTU, IEC60870-5-103 and ASCII protocols
for testing purposes.

A rear RS485 electrical connection is optionally available on


the relay for system interface connections. An internal
terminating resistor is provided, which can be connected
into the circuit by adding a wire loop between the relevant
terminals.

involve connecting a dead line or bus to a live line or live
bus. For these switching operations the synchronising
conditions will not be met, the Sync Bypass setting is
required to bypass the synchronising operations and allow
the Bypass Close output.

74 Close Circuit Supervision


Monitors the open/closed status of up to 3 circuits. If circuit
status is open for a minimum time of 74CCS-n-Delay
setting, Close Circuit Fail and Close Circuit Fail n events are
Fig3. Rear view of Standard E4 relay
raised.

60 VT Fail
When the circuit breaker is closed, both voltages should be
either Live or Dead. If this is not true, a VT Fail output is set
(60VTS, to indicate the Line VT has failed and 60VTF-Bus to
indicate the Bus VT has failed). A time delay setting (60VTF
– Line/Bus Delay) suppresses spurious operations during
transient switching conditions.

Programmable Logic
The user can map binary inputs, protection elements, LEDs
and binary outputs together in a logical scheme.
Up to 4 logic equations can be defined using standard logic
functions e.g. Timers, AND/OR gates, Inverters and Counters
to provide the user required functionality.
Each logic equation output can be used for alarm &
indication and/or tripping.

Virtual Inputs/Outputs
There are 8 virtual inputs/outputs to provide internal logical
states to assist in the application of the functions. Each
virtual I/O can be assigned in the same way as a physical I/O.

measured to detect unbalance between phases caused by
capacitor unit failure as well as overload protection and for
detection of insulation failure faults such as phase to phase

The 7SR191 provides user configuration settings for
operating mode to allow the current inputs to be allocated
to the protection functions to cater for all common bank
arrangements with a single ordering code. When set in 3
Pole Overcurrent + 1 Pole Unbalance mode, the four current
inputs are allocated as three phase current inputs plus one
unbalance input. In 1 Pole Overcurrent + 3 Pole Unbalance
mode, the four inputs are allocated instead to provide three
phase segregated inputs plus a single phase reference input.

87REF Restricted Earth Fault
The measured earth fault input may be used in a 87REF high
impedance restricted earth fault scheme to provide sensitive
high speed unit protection. A calculation is required to
determine the values of the external series stabilising
resistor and non-linear shunt resistor which can be ordered
separately. This function is used on single-star arrangements
where no unbalance CT is available and is connected to the
unused 4th current input.

Programmable Logic
The user can map binary inputs, protection elements, LEDs
and binary outputs together in a logical scheme.
Up to 8 logic equations can be defined using standard logic
functions e.g. Timers, AND/OR gates, Inverters and Counters
to provide the user required functionality.
Each logic equation output can be used for alarm &
indication and/or tripping.

Virtual Inputs/Outputs
There are 8 virtual inputs/outputs to provide internal logical
states to assist in the application of the functions. Each
virtual I/O can be assigned in the same way as a physical I/O.

Circuit Breaker Maintenance


Two circuit breaker operations counters are provided to
assist with maintenance scheduling. The maintenance
counter records the overall number of operations and the
delta counter records the number of operations since the
last reset.
An I2t summation counter provides a measure of the contact
wear indicating the total energy interrupted by the circuit Fig15. Rear view of E4 relay
breaker contacts.
Each counter has a user set target operations count which,
when reached, can be mapped to raise alarms/ binary
outputs. A CB Trip Time meter is also available, which
measures the time between the trip or open command being
issued and the auxiliary contacts changing state.

Control Mode
The relay has a control menu with access to commonly used
command operations. Access to the control commands is
restricted by a 4 character control function password. Each
command requires a select then execute operation, if the
execute operation is not performed within a time window
the command is aborted. The following control functions
are available: CB Operation

 For moderate arc fault currents the trip time of the over-
current IDMT stage will be too slow;

 For very low arc fault currents the instantaneous trip stage of
a standard over-current relay cannot be set low enough.

Arc Fault Protection

Arc fault protection is a technique employed for the fast


clearance of arcing faults on bus bars & within metal clad
switchgear & associated cable boxes. The arc is detected
using an optical sensor & the signal input to a protection
device which also monitors the load current on the system. A
trip signal can be achieved in less than 10 ms using arc
detection only or within 20 ms when using overcurrent
Features check. This is considerably faster than a traditional IDMT
overcurrent relay & provides additional protection from the
onset of arcing faults with relatively low fault currents.

Existing switchgear applications

The existing overcurrent relay protecting the feeder will
normally provide an independent output contact associated
with the start current setting of the relay. That is, an output
contact that will close when a phase or earth fault current is
detected above the threshold which starts the internal relay
timers.
RA30

An Arc Fault Monitor relay RA20 is installed on the RA20


switchgear panel adjacent to the protection relay. The RA20
is specifically designed for simple retrofit to existing panels
& requires only a single 31mm mounting hole to be drilled.
The RA20 fits through this hole, the designation label
supplied with the unit positioned & the retention shroud Fig1. Single arc sensor - Cable box only
fitted. Refer Figure 14 & 16. (Optional overcurrent check stage depicted)

RA30 optical arc sensors are fitted in the cable termination


box & CT chamber as depicted in figure 2.
The overcurrent relay starter contact may optionally be wired
in series with the arc fault detection trip output contact as
depicted in figure 6. The resulting “AND” function trip output
is wired to trip the breaker in ~15ms in the event that an arc
fault is detected while the overcurrent start element is 50/51

The second arc trip & fail alarm contacts may be employed
for interface to a SCADA system for fault reporting.

Mounting Options
The RA20 is available in two versions:

1. A surface mount version which has a separate reset


button & LED indicator on the front panel. The
advantage of this version is the lower cost, and to
offer a solution where front panel space is limited.

2. A panel mount version which has a combined reset


button & LED indication. The advantage of this version
is that it can be either panel or surface mounted, with
a high-visibility indication from the large LED button.

using an optical sensor & the signal input to a protection
device which also monitors the load current on the system. A
trip signal can be achieved in less than 10ms using arc
detection only or within 20ms when using overcurrent
check. This is considerably faster than a traditional IDMT
overcurrent relay & provides additional protection from the
onset of arcing faults with relatively low fault currents.
Arguably the greatest risk of arc fault damage exists at the
CB cable termination & in the CB chamber itself due to the
slow clearance times of the IDMT feeder protection. The CB
cable termination is particularly at risk to ingress of moisture

The problem of arc faults is most prevalent in older metal

The RA30 is an optical sensor that responds to the flash of light Sensors

light flash and detection by the RA30 occurs in a few ms.
When an arc is detected, the resistance presented by the RA30
drops to a level where the current flow increases to
approximately 20mA. This increased current flow is detected
by the RA23 Module which responds in <1ms to close a solid

Arc Fault – Cause and Effect


Medium voltage switchgear and associated bus bars are a key
element in the power supply chain. Existing protection systems
operate effectively and quickly under most fault types but arcing
faults may lead to slow operating times.
Due to the resistive nature of an arcing fault the associated fault
current is likely to be lower than for a bolted short circuit.
Instantaneous overcurrent protection is set to operate above
network energisation currents and motor starting currents, the

1.1.5.4 7XG3130 Optical Arc Fault Sensor

Sensitivity of the arc sensor has been set to a low level to


reduce the possibility of mal operation under high ambient
lighting conditions. This is made possible due the high
intensity of light emitted under arc fault conditions.
Additional security can be incorporated by way of a current
check stage.
In standby mode the RA30 sensor presents a high resistance
to the 12V DC control signal provided by the Arc Fault
Monitor. This allows a small circulating current to flow for
continuous supervision of the RA30 connection circuit.
When an arc is detected, the resistance presented by the
RA30 drops to a level where the current flow increases to
approximately 20mA. This increased current flow is
instantaneously detected by the Arc Fault Monitor & its trip

Switching Relay, TR431
1.2.2 7PG15 Tripping Relay
Designed to meet the requirements of NGC TDM 5/11, this is
an electrically reset relay with a flag indicator which follows
the contact operation. These relays are intended to switch
protection and auto reclose equipment in and out of service
when controlled over pilot wires from a remote point. They
are intended to operate from a remote 50V d.c. battery with
a pilot loop resistance of up to 200 ohms.

Special purpose relays, TR9 series


This designation identifies TR relays designed to meet a
special purpose e.g. TR901 is a high burden repeat relay, a
type TR231 with a 2 position flag indicator used as a plant
follower relay for circuit breakers and disconnectors.

Description
Type TR relays are a range of multi-contact attracted
armature relays designed to both IEC 255-5 and to BS142. A
wide range of models is available to meet the requirements
of the electric supply industry.

High speed, positive action


Can be supplied in modular and drawout type case
Robust design for a long, reliable service life

TR1 Low burden to ESI 48-4 EB1 & NGTS


3.6.15, ESI 1.
TR2 High burden to ESI 48-4 EB2 & NGTS 3.6.15,
ESI 2
TR312 NGC (CEGB) P15. (low burden trip relay)
TR431 NGC (CEGB) TDM 5/11. (switching relay)

Low burden, TR1 series


Type TR1 relays are suitable for application for tripping and
auxiliary duties where immunity to capacitance discharge is
not required. These relays are not intended for use with
current operated series follower relays.

High burden, TR2 series


High burden relays with immunity to capacitance discharge
currents. They are also suitable for certain applications
where they are remote from the initiation signal.

A high burden also permits reliable operation of current


operated series repeat relays. TR relays can be provided with
an instantaneous or time-delayed cut-off.

Low burden relay, TR312


Designed to meet the requirements of NGC specification
P15, this is an electrically reset relay (no flag indicator) with
additional terminals in the economy circuit to enable a direct
connection to the dc supply.

This arrangement allows a reduction in the break duty of the


initiating contact.

CT Requirements

Experience has shown that most protection CTs are


suitable for use with the high impedance relays and that
where the CTs are specifically designed for this protection
their overall size may be smaller than that required for an
alternative current balance protection. The basic
requirements are:

a) All CTs should, if possible, have identical turns ratios.

b) The knee point voltage of each CT should be at least 2x


Vs. The knee point voltage is expressed as the voltage
applied to the secondary circuit with the primary open
circuit which when increased by 10% causes the
magnetizing current to increase by 50%.

c) CTs should be of the low leakage reactance type. Most
modern CTs are of this type and there is no difficulty in

Overcurrent Guard
Solkor relay trip contacts can be connected in series with
those of an Overcurrent Guard relay driven from the same
current transformers to avoid operation for damaged pilots
during normal load levels.

The electromechanical B69 can be used for this which will


provide variable settings without an auxiliary supply.

Alternatively, a numeric relay from the Argus range can be


used which will have negligible additional AC burden on the
current transformer and can be used to add the waveform
recording functionality to the traditional Solkor scheme.

Intertripping
The current differential system will naturally issue a trip at
both ends for an in zone fault. Additional connections can
also be made which utilise the pilot connection to initiate a
protection operation at the remote end. This is generally
used to cause a trip for an out of zone fault which has been
detected by a different protection relay. There are 2 different
methods to achieve this and their application depends on
the fault current available for the out of zone fault.

Firstly the pilot loop can be open circuited to allow the


remote end to operate on its measured current. To ensure
positive operation of the remote end relay, the current
should be at least twice the normal fault setting. Switching
relays must provide suitable 5/15kV isolation

Secondly, the local end summation transformer can be short


circuited to allow the remote end to operate on its measured
current but with the local end connected in shunt. This can
be successful with R mode where settings are raised to 4x
normal settings but with Rf mode this can be up to 10x
normal settings and this current is often not available.

Requirements

Maximum output of CT 1.2VA 3VA
required to operate relay

The main requisite is that the saturation voltage of the


current transformers should not be less than that given by
the formula:

For the above purpose the saturation voltage i.e. the knee
point of the magnetising curve, may be taken as that point on
the curve at which a 10% increase in output voltage requires
50% increase in magnetising current.

To ensure good balance of the protection the current


transformers at the two ends should have identical turns
ratios. Close balance of the ratio is provided by current
transformers to IEC60044: pt1, class px, whose ratio error is
limited to ±0.25% and these CTs are recommended to meet
the above requirements.

It is recommended that no other burdens should be


included in the current transformer circuit, but where this
cannot be avoided the additional burden should be added to
those listed when determining the current transformer output
voltage required.

In addition to the above, the secondary magnetising

1.4 Ancillary Equipment
1.4.1 7SG21 Multi Range Digital Setting Time Delay Relay

Operation
A crystal oscillator & embedded micro controller based
timing circuit are employed to provide accurate timing &
flexible functionality. When a control signal is applied to the
timer initiate input, a counter begins counting down from
the thumb wheel switch setting. When the zero is detected,
the output relay contacts & flag operate.

Three time ranges are selected via a front panel switch. An


internal configuration switch can be used to select a x10
range multiplier to provide up to 990s of precision time

inherent time delay. Count Down Reset
If reset before the preset time delay is reached, the timer will
count down toward reset. If the timer is re-initiated before
reset is reached the timer will start counting back up
towards the time delay pre set.

Removal of the initiate signal during timing will reset the


time delay (Refer timing reset options). After time out the
contacts are reset to the D/O condition upon removal of the
initiate signal. The flag can be reset provided the timer
initiate signal is removed.

Delay Release Timing Function


This timing mode is selected using internal configuration
switch 3.

The relay is permanently connected to the auxiliary supply.


Application of the initiate control signal, causes the output
relay to set instantaneously (Rset). It will remain in this state
until the control signal is removed; this starts the timing
cycle & resets the output relay when the preset time delay is
reached.

Re-application of the initiate signal during timing will reset


the time delay (Refer timing reset options). After time out
the contacts are reset to the P/U condition. The flag can be
reset at any time, except during timing.

Method of establishing the value of relay setting resistors.

To give the required voltage setting the relay operating level is


adjusted by means of an external series resistor as follows:

Where

Rstab = Resistance of the stabilising resistor

Vs = Relay circuit setting voltage

Is = Relay setting current

Fault Setting

The fault setting of a current –balance protection using a high


impedance relay circuit can be calculated in the usual manner.
It should, however, be noted that because the operating volt-
age of the relay circuit is relatively high, the excitation currents
of the CTs in parallel with the relay may comprise a large por-
tion of the fault setting.

Thus, if Is = the relay setting current, and I1, I2, I3 etc are the
excitation currents of the CTs at the setting voltage, and T is
the CT turns ratio then

Primary Operating Current = (Is +I1+I2+I3)xT

NOTES:

1. 7SR23 DAD connections to the 7XG15 unit are correct for a setting resistance of 2000 Ohms.
These connections must be varied on the 7XG15 unit where the alternative values of 1000 or 500 Ohms are re-
quired for a given application.

2. The CT Shorting Relay and the 7XG15 unit are both fitted with case shorting contacts. In the event that either d e-
vice is withdrawn, the Current Transformers are automatically short circuited and indication is given by the 7SR23.

3. The 7XG15 unit is designed to be used in conjunction with the 7PG11 CT Shorting Relay.
Do not use the 7XG15 unit without a CT shorting relay, or with alternative scheme connections.

3. The CT Shorting Relay and the 7XG15 unit are both fitted with case shorting contacts. In the event that either de-
vice is withdrawn, the Current Transformers are automatically short circuited and indication is given by the 7SR23.

4. Binary Outputs on the 7SR23 are to be mapped as indicated above. This is to allow automatic oper ation of the CT
Shorting Relay as required by the scheme.

5. BO3 must be configured as hand reset. The protection is reset from the keypad on the 7SR23, this will also reset the
CT shorting relay and indication.

6. CB Trip is to be via a latched Trip Relay.

1.4.3 7XG21 Capacitor Cone Adapter Unit for NVD protection

Technical information

Different manufacturers fit Capacitor Cones with different


values of capacitance, C1, C2 and C3. The capacitance of the
Adaptor Unit, C4, must therefore be settable to achieve the
required step-down effect. The available setting range is 1 to
201.9nF, with discrete steps of 1, 2.2, 4.7, 10, 22, 47, 47
and 68nF.

Application
C1 Cp = C1 + C2 + C3
Capacitor Cones are used in 11 and 33 kV Sub/Stations to
provide a Neutral Voltage Displacement (NVD) level where
conventional Voltage Transformers are too large or too C2
expensive. This voltage level is too high for use by numeric
relays, being at system primary levels, and so an Adapter
Unit must be used to step it down. The input capacitance of C3

The Adapter Unit can be used with any Reyrolle numeric
relay with an input for NVD measurement.

Vout = Vin x Xc4 / ((Xcp x Xc4) / (Xcp + Xc4))

1.4.4 7XG22 2RMLG, 8W & 10W Test Blocks

Description
The 7XG22 range of Test Blocks, housed within an Epsilon
enclosure, offers facilities for monitoring and secondary

Recommended Wiring Layout

It is recommended that the Test Block is always wired with


connections to the protective relay or scheme made to the
EVEN numbered equipment side terminals. Connections to
other equipment, e.g. CT’s, VT’s and DC supplies, should be
made to the ODD numbered live side terminals on the Test
Block. This ensures that when the Test Plug is inserted, the
black sockets are connected to the isolated relay circuits and
the yellow sockets are connected to the potentially live
supplies. This is vital as the automatic CT shorting is only
applied to the live side.

 This image shows the 3RMLG with the front cover


removed to isolate the Stage 1 circuits.
 The Isolation Plug is in place so the CTs and Stage
2 circuits are still connected.
 The front label identifies each cassette type.
