1 Model general description
The ABB REJ 523 relay is a phase fault non directional protection relay. The ABB REJ 523 PowerFactory relay model is
implementing all the protective functions available in the relay; it consists of the measurement and acquisition units, the
protective elements, the breaker failure feature, the start situation detection logic and the output logic.

1.1 Measurement and acquisition

1.1.1 Available Units

The primary current is measured by one current transformer (“Ct” block) .

One measurement unit (“Measure” blocks) is fed by this CT.

1.1.2 Functionality
The input signals are sampled in the relay model at 20 samples/cycle; a DFT filter operating over a cycle calculates the current
values used by the protective elements. Please notice that no info is available in the manual about the sampling rate. For this
reason an implementation common in many protective relays has been used.

1.1.3 Data Input

Please note that the nominal current value MUST be entered in the measurement unit.

1.2 Protective elements

1.2.1 Available Units

 One phase current inverse time overcurrent element (“I>” and “I> (def time)” block)

 One phase current definite time overcurrent element (“I>>” block)

ABB REJ 523 Power Factory V001 Relay model description 4

 1.2.2 Functionality
The PF model contains all the protective elements available in the relay.

The inverse time overcurrent element supports the following trip characteristics:

 Definite time
 IEC ”Extremely inverse”
 IEC “Very inverse”
 IEC “Normal inverse”
 IEC ”Long time inverse”
 “RI Inverse time”
 “RD Inverse time”

1.2.3 Data input

Please enable the “I>” block and disable the “I> (def time)” block if an inverse trip characteristic should be used in the first
phase element. Vice versa disable the “I>” block and enable the “I> (def time)” block if the definite time trip characteristic
should be used in the first phase element. Please notice that by default when a new relay instance is created the “I>” block is
disabled.

1.3 Breaker failure

1.3.1 Available Units

The Circuit breaker failure protection feature is modelled by the “CBFP” block and by the “Min I” block.

1.3.2 Functionality
The “CBFP” block is a timer which is operating the relay model “PO2” output signal when the phase current is still present after
CBFP (relay setting) seconds that the “PO1” output signal has been activated.

1.3.3 Data input

Please insert the “CBFP” relay setting as “Time setting” of the “CBFP” block in the PF relay model.

1.4 Start situation detection

1.4.1 Available Units

The start situation detection logic is implemented by some overcurrent/undercurrent elements mocking up the start detection
logic thresholds (the “0.12In”, the “1.25In” and the “1.5In” block) and by a timer (“Inrushdetector” block) which is forcing the
signal reporting the in start condition to remain on until the current isn’t smaller than 1.25 In. The start detection signal is then
used by the “ICalc” block which is dividing by two the current feeding the “I>>” element.

1.4.2 Functionality
A start situation is defined as a situation where the phase current rises from a value below 0.12 x I> to a value above 1.5 x I>
in less than 60 ms. The start situation ends when the current falls below 1.25 x I>.

1.4.3 Data input

No data input is required. The feature can be deactivated disabling the “Inrushdetector” block

1.5 Output logic

1.5.1 Available Units

The output logic is implemented by the “Trip logic” and by the “Output logic” block.

1.5.2 Functionality
The “Output logic” block is operating the breaker. Please disable the “Output Logic” block to disable the relay model ability to
open the power circuit.

The signal operating the breaker is “PO1”; the output signal “PO2” is available as well and is controlled by the breaker failure
feature. Please notice that the power breaker is not operated by “PO2”.

Two additional signals are available to mock up the behaviour of the starting signals of the phase fault elements: “TStartIM”
represents the starting signal of the “I>” element, “TStartIMM” represents the starting signal of the “I>>” element.
