3.7 Switch-On-To-Fault (50LC/SOTF)
SOTF provides high-speed tripping in the event of energizing the feeder while the earth switch is closed or while
the feeder is energized when the fault current/short circuit current persists.
SOTF function monitors the phase current for a maximum duration of 25 AC cycles from the CT interrupt and trips
when any fault is detected as per the user settings. After the 25 AC cycles, SOTF function would be inhibited
automatically.
SOTF can be inhibited by assigning binary input.
Operation of the Switch-On-To-Fault elements can be inhibited from:

3.8 Thermal Overload Protection (49)
Thermal Overload Function monitors Thermal Levels (Ѳ) of the electrical equipment and tripping them in the
event of thermal overload. The temperature of the protected equipment is not measured directly. Instead, thermal
overload conditions are calculated using the maximum RMS values of phase currents. If the RMS current rise
above the 49 Overload Setting for a defined time then an output signal to trip will be given.
As per IEC 60255-149, the operating time is a function of thermal heating time constant 49 TauH and previous
current levels.

Hot and Cold Operating Characteristics

• Cold Operating Characteristic
The cold operating characteristic comes into effect when the relay has no prefault current and the previous
thermal level is zero. Thus, IP = 0 and the time to trip is given as:
I2
t = τ × ln � �
I 2 − Iθ2
• Hot Operating Characteristic
The Hot Operating Characteristic comes into effect when the relay has steady state prefault current. This current
increases the previous thermal level above zero. The time to trip is given as:
I 2 − IP2
t = τ × ln � �
I 2 − Iθ2
Operation of thermal overload element can be inhibited by assigning binary input.

49 Overload Setting (Iθ) is expressed as a multiple of the relay nominal current and is equivalent to the factor kxIB
as defined in the IEC 60255-149 thermal operating characteristics. It is the value of current above which 100% of
thermal capacity will be reached after a period and it is therefore normally set slightly above the full load current of
the protected device.
The thermal state may be reset from the fascia or externally via a binary input or through remote.
Gn 49 Capacity Alarm
An alarm can be given if the thermal state exceeds a specified percentage of the protected equipment’s thermal
capacity setting. This can be used to warn the operator that a relay thermal trip will occur if this level of protected
equipment current continues.
For the heating curve:
𝐼𝐼 2 t

where θ = thermal state at time t

The final steady state thermal condition can be predicted for any steady state value of input current where t > 𝜏𝜏
Gn 49 TauH (Heating Time Constant)

Used during normal service conditions and overloads of a protected equipment.
Gn 49 TauC (Cooling Time Constant)

Multiple of heating time constant takes into consideration the reduced rate of cooling of a protected equipment.
The function prevents re-energizing of electrical equipment until the equipment is cooled based on reclose inhibit
binary output contact used in the CB interlock.

Gn 49 Stored thermal level
1. Initial Thermal State (Ѳ0), then relay shall always store Ѳ0 in the memory during trip or power off.
2. Previous Thermal State, then the relay shall store the actual thermal level in the memory. If the actual
thermal level Ѳ0 ≥ 95% then Ѳ0 = 95% else Ѳ0 actual shall be stored in the memory.

Thermal Overload Protection Function (49) is not available for 7SR450[1/3]-xGA10-1AA0 MLFB variants
3.9 Supervision Functions

3.9.1 2nd Harmonic Block/Inrush Restraint (81HBL2) Phase Elements Only
Inrush restraint detector elements are provided, these monitor the line currents.
The inrush restraint detector can be used to block the operation of selected elements during transformer
magnetising inrush conditions.
All phases are inhibited when any phase detects an inrush condition.

3.10 General Alarm
General Alarms are the user defined text messages displayed on the LCD when binary inputs are mapped and
triggered.
Up to 4 general alarms of 16 characters can be configured, each triggered from one or more input. Each general
alarm generates an event.
If multiple alarms are activated simultaneously, the last alarm indication is displayed on the LCD.
All the fault triggers generated by general alarms are logged in to the fault data record.

3.11 Reset LED, Trip Flag Indication and Binary Outputs

Depending upon any binary output configuration set by the user to operate the protection function, if the protection
functions detect any fault, binary output(s), local and remote trip flag indications, trip and respective phase or earth
LEDs operate and latch.
By using the RESET flag functionality, the user can reset binary outputs, LEDs, local trip flag indication.
The user can reset binary output/LEDs in any one of the following methods:
• Binary Input
• Reydisp Software
• TEST/RESET► key
• Reset via Rear Communication Protocol
After successful reset of binary outputs, local flags, and LEDs, the “FLAGS RESET” message appears on LCD
and all the LEDs flashes and reset.
In the CT power mode, LED test can be performed if the current is more than 0.4xIn (single phase) or
0.14xIn (three phase).
If the fault current persists, pop-up message appears on the LCD “FAULT PERSISTS”.
The LED Test/Reset function will not be operational when Inrush detector is active.

3.11.1 Reset through Binary Input
In the INPUT MATRIX configuration, LEDs and outputs can be reset by configuring the binary input. The
configuration can be executed with Reydisp Evolution or Human Machine Interface (HMI).
Figure 3-12 Reset LEDs Outputs: Reydisp Software Input Matrix

3.11.2 Reset using Reydisp Software
When the relay is latched, LEDs can be reset by sending an appropriate command over the data communications
channels using Reydisp software.
Figure 3-13 Reset Flags
In the Reydisp Evolution screen, navigate to Relay > Control and click Reset Flags.
3.11.3 TEST/RESET► Key

From the Relay Identifier Screen, reset the LEDs and outputs by pressing the TEST/RESET► key.
3.11.4 Reset through rear communication protocol

The resetting of LEDs and BOs can be possible via the rear communication protocol like Modbus and
IEC 60870-5-103.
3.12 Current Inputs

The 7SR45 Argus Relay consists of 4 current inputs. The 3 current inputs are provided for measuring the phase
currents and 1 current input is provided for measuring the ground current.
Based on the ordering option, current inputs are available for 1 A and 5 A variants.
The 7SR45 Argus Relay consists of 1 built-in Power Current Transformer (PCT) and 1 built-in Measuring Current
Transformer (MCT) for each phase current input. 1 MCT is provided on the ground-current input.
The current is sampled at 800 Hz for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz system frequency. Protection and monitoring functions
of the relay use the fundamental frequency component to calculate the RMS value of current.
The primary CT ratio used for the relay instruments and fault logs can be set in the CT/VT configuration menu.
NOTE:
Under the CT/VT configuration menu, the setting is a multiplication factor applied to the secondary values for
displaying the primary values. Appropriate setting, considering the CT ratio, should be done for 5A relays.

3.13 Binary Inputs
The binary inputs (BI) are opto-couplers operated from a suitably rated AC/DC power supply.
The device variants with binary inputs having an 88 V threshold can be operated using an AC/DC source and the
19 V threshold can be operated with DC source only.
The status of BI can be viewed via LCD or Reydisp Evolution software or SCADA.
The 7SR45 Argus Relays are available with 2 or 4 binary inputs. The user can assign any binary input to any of the
available functions such as inhibits, binary outputs, reset flags, and general alarms (INPUT CONFIG > INPUT
MATRIX). Binary input can also be mapped to operate the pulse output in the presence of auxiliary power supply/CT
input.
Pick-up (PU) and drop-off (DO) time delays are associated with each binary input. Where no pick-up time delay
has been applied the input may pick up due to induced AC voltage on the wiring connections (For example, cross
site wiring). The default pick-up time of 20 ms provides AC immunity.
Each input can be configured independently. Each input can be logically inverted to facilitate integration of the relay
within the user scheme. When inverted the relay indicates that the BI is triggered when no binary input voltage is
applied. Inversion occurs before the PU & DO time delay.
Binary inputs can be configured for instantaneous operation from 19 V DC power supply by setting of
0 ms PU and 25 ms DO timers.
Each binary input can be assigned to any binary output. This allows the relay to provide panel indications and
alarms.

3.14 Binary Outputs
The 7SR45 Argus Relay consists of 2 or 4 binary output which can be configured to send commands to the
switchgear units and annunciations for remote signalling of the important events and status.
3.14.1 Binary Output Matrix

Binary output can be assigned to any available functions under OUTPUT CONFIG > OUTPUT MATRIX menu.
3.14.2 Binary Output Configuration

In the default mode of operation, binary outputs are self reset and remain energised until the triggering condition
exists. If required, the binary outputs can be programmed to operate as ‘hand reset’.
NOTE:
The binary output 1 and binary output 2 only can be configured as hand reset. The binary output 3 and binary output
4 are always of self reset type. The minimum operating time is 20 milliseconds.
For 7SR450[1/3]-xGA10-1AA0
Self Reset/Hand Reset
In the default operating mode, binary outputs are self reset. If required, the outputs can be programmed to operate
as ‘hand reset’. However, the hand reset functionality is applicable for protection trip signals, IRF signal, and BI
signals only.
All the supervisory signals such as low battery, general pick up, and protection healthy are always of self reset type.
By default, the Binary Output 1 is mapped to IRF function and programmed as 'hand reset". In the self reset
condition, binary output resets if the input current drops below the sensitivity levels.
NOTE:
In the absence of auxiliary voltage, the binary output 3 and binary output 4 will not be functional and remain in
the non-operated condition.

NOTE:
If a binary output is assigned to IRF, do not use the same binary output for any other functions.
NOTE:
Reclose Inhibit parameter is only available in dual powered variants. It is recommended to configure this
parameter with permanent auxiliary power.
3.15 Binary Output Operations

The relay reset can be performed from the Relay Identifier Screen > TEST/RESET► key.
If the fault current persists and if the user presses TEST/RESET► key, the pop-up message appears,
“FAULT PERSISTS”.
Based on the availability of power source, the flag can be reset by using any one of the following conditions:
3.15.1 BO Trip/Reset on Battery/USB
In this mode, the relay uses the power from battery/USB to operate/reset the binary output and takes approximately
4s to perform the action.
If the consecutive commands are provided within 4 seconds, the relay performs delayed operations and displays a
pop-up message appears on the HMI “INSUFFICIENT ENERGY”.
3.15.2 BO Trip/Reset on CT Input or Auxiliary Voltage

In this mode, the relay can operate/reset the binary outputs instantaneously.
3.16 Pulse Output

The pulse output is used to interface directly with the low energy circuit breaker tripping coil. The pulse output
provides 24 V, 0.1 Ws pulses of 50 ms ON and 500 ms OFF.
The pulse output operates when any configured protection function trips. The trip energy for the trip coil is stored
by a capacitor built into the protection relay. The capacitors are charged by the auxiliary power supply/phase current.
The pulses are repeated until the fault current falls below the set value. The pulse output does not require any
mapping with protection functions.
In the presence of auxiliary power supply/phase current, pulse output can be operated by mapping to a binary input.
When the assigned binary input is triggered, the pulse output operates, local flag operates, and Trip LED flashes.
Pulse output is provided till the auxiliary power supply/phase current is available.
NOTE:
The time between the two pulses depends on the impedance of the trip coil and magnitude of the current (if the
relay is powered through phase currents).
When there is NO LOAD connected at the output of Pulse Output (NO TRIP coil is connected), the PULSE ON
duration may vary from 50 ms to 70 ms.
Pulse output cannot be triggered through Rear/Front communication protocols, it is recommended to use BIs for
triggering the pulse output for remote trip applications.
3.17 Remote Flag Output

The remote flag output is used to indicate the trip via an external flag. The remote flag output provides 24 V,
0.01 Ws pulses of 50 ms ON and 500 ms OFF.
The remote flag output operates when any protection function trips. The energy is stored by a capacitor built into
the protection relay. The capacitor is charged by auxiliary voltage or phase current. The pulses are repeated until
the fault current falls below the set value. The remote flag output does not require any mapping with protection
functions.
NOTE:
The time between the two pulses depends on the impedance of the flag indicator and on the current level (if the
relay is powered by auxiliary power/phase current).
3.18 Modes of Operation

The 7SR45 Argus Relay can be powered on by using the following sources:
• Auxiliary Voltage Inputs
• CT Input
• USB
• Battery
The 7SR45 Argus Relay is powered primarily from auxiliary voltage even if all other power sources are available.
In the absence of auxiliary voltage, the relay is powered through phase currents.
In the absence of both auxiliary voltage and phase currents, the relay can be powered on by USB or battery.
The relay can be powered on by the battery only if all other power sources are not available.
3.18.1 Auxiliary Voltage

All the protection and measurement algorithms and RS485 communication (Rear port) are active when the 7SR45
Argus Relay is powered by auxiliary voltage.

NOTE:
In the absence of auxiliary voltage, the binary output 3 and binary output 4 will not be functional and remain in the
non-operated conditions.
3.18.2 CT Input
In the absence of auxiliary voltage, all the protection and measurement algorithms are active when the 7SR45
Argus Relay is powered through phase CTs, however the RS485 communication stops working.
3.18.2.1 Sensitivity
In the absence of auxiliary voltage, the sensitivity of the relay is the minimum phase current required for the relay
to energize, detect a fault, and trip as per the configuration.
The sensitivity of 7SR45 Argus Relay is 0.20xIn (minimum phase current) in single phase or 0.10xIn (minimum
phase current) in three phase. This minimum phase current is necessary for the healthy functioning of the relay.
The PROTECTION HEALTHY and TRIP READY LEDs indicates the healthiness of the relay.
The following graphs show the sensitivity of the relay and the corresponding operating time for the different start
up currents.
Figure 3-16 Sensitivity for Single Phase Fault with Binary Outputs

Figure 3-17 Sensitivity for Single Phase Fault with Pulse Output
NOTE:
The multi-phase current will improve the sensitivity.
NOTE:
Removal/drainage of both main battery and RTC battery will delay sensitivity of the product.
Presence/non-drainage of main battery and removal/drainage of RTC battery will not impact the sensitivity of the
product.
3.18.2.2 Time Delayed Overcurrent Protection during Start up (51, 51G, 51N)
The operating time of the protection functions (51, 51G, 51N) are optimized at the lower current settings when the
relay is energized with the short-circuit current or fault current.
The optimization of the operating time is done only in the start up condition for the first 25 AC cycles if the fault
current persists.
The optimization is done as per the sensitivity characteristics of the binary output. However, the operating time of
the pulse output also improves if the calculated operating time is less than the pulse output sensitivity
characteristics.
NOTE:
The following conditions must be considered for the optimization algorithm:
1. If the calculated operating time is less than the boot up time as shown in the sensitivity graph (Figure 3-15,
Figure 3-16), then the optimization is not effective.
2. If the battery is low, the calculated boot up time is increased, the optimization is not effective.
3. When the device is started with the load current and the fault current appears within 25 AC cycles, then the
operating time will be less than the calculated time.
4. It is recommended to keep the Time Multiplier setting to more than 0.1.
5. The optimization of the operating time is not effective if the fault current is not stable during the boot up time.
6. If the 81HBL2 is enabled the optimization is not effective.

3.18.3 USB
In the USB mode, all the settings can be edited even if the protection functions are inactive. The binary inputs and
binary outputs are operational in the USB mode. In the USB mode, the local flag indicator reset is only possible.
The pulse output and remote flag output cannot be operated with USB.
3.18.4 Battery
In the battery mode, the relay can be energized by pressing the BAT ON/OFF key or if any binary input status is
changed.
The battery is used to operate 7SR45 Argus Relay only when other power sources are not available.
In the battery mode, all the settings can be edited even if the protection functions are inactive. The binary inputs
and binary outputs are operational in the battery mode. In the battery mode, the local flag indicator reset is only
possible. The pulse output and remote flag output cannot be operated with battery.
In the battery mode, if no keys are pressed for 60 s, the relay goes to sleep mode automatically.
By default, in the battery mode, the backlight is OFF and it can be TURNED ON by pressing the backlight key.

3.18.5 Sleep Mode

The 7SR45 Argus Relay goes to the sleep mode when the auxiliary power/CT power and USB power are not
available. When the relay is in sleep mode, the user can access the LCD by pressing the BAT ON/OFF key.
In case of inactivity, the relay goes to the sleep mode after 60 s.
When the relay is powered by CT and no auxiliary power and any fault on the system occurs, the relay goes to
sleep mode automatically if the phase CT currents are disconnected.
When the device powered ON through USB power mode and once the USB cable is removed, the device goes to
sleep mode automatically.
NOTE:
During the sleep mode, the 7SR45 Argus Relay has the limited functionality.
3.18.6 Low Battery Status Indication

The low battery LED indication is displayed when the battery voltage falls below the sufficient operating voltage and
an event is generated. In the low battery condition only setting view/edit is allowed.
In the low battery mode, the backlight will not TURN ON.
The low battery can be mapped to a binary output and can be used for remote signalling.
NOTE:
It is recommended to replace the battery when the low battery indication is displayed.
Some of the relay operations such as turning on the backlight and resetting local flag, binary outputs and LEDs in
the low battery mode will lead to insufficient operating voltage. The LCD displays "INSUFFICIENT ENERGY"
message and the relay enters sleep mode.

NOTE:
During the low battery, if the battery voltage reduces below 1.5 V while doing the setting changes, the device will
enter sleep mode and all unsaved setting changes will be discarded.
NOTE (For selected variants only):

When the battery voltage has dropped below 1.5 V, the low battery LED flickers continuously and indicates that the
critical voltage level is reached. The Critical Battery event will be raised.
3.19 Maintenance Mode

3.19.1 Output Test
The output test feature is only visible from the Relay fascia and allows the user to operate the relays functions.
The output test of the selected function will automatically operate the binary output assigned to that function.
Any protection function which is enabled in the setting menu will appear in the Output Test.
3.20 Self Monitoring

The 7SR45 Argus relay is built in with a number of self-monitoring features. The self monitoring is performed
periodically on boot up. The supervision includes monitoring of power supply signals, code execution watchdog,
memory checks by checksum, RTC check, and battery health checks. The ‘Protection Healthy’ LED is illuminated
when the internal power supply signals are healthy.
3.20.1 Internal Relay Failure (IRF)

The internal relay failure feature monitors the healthiness of the relay and supervises the following scenarios in the
presence of auxiliary power/CT power and IRF event will be generated.
1. Unexpected (Watch Dog) Error

In case of an unexpected behaviour of 7SR45 Argus Relay, IRF condition will be signalled and the relay
restarts.
If this error is observed frequently, the relay should be sent to the factory.
2. Internal Supply Voltage Error
7SR45 Argus Relay monitors the internal supply voltage and in case of an error, IRF condition will be
signalled.
The protection functions are blocked during this condition.
3. Card Error
In case of I/O card failure, the error message is displayed and IRF condition will be signalled.
The relay performance is not guaranteed and it should be sent to the factory.
4. MLFB Error
If the device information data is not correct during the start up, the error message will be displayed and IRF
condition will be signalled.
In case of MLFB error the relay will not be functional and the relay should be sent to the factory.
5. Calibration Error
The 7SR45 Argus Relay checks for the integrity of the calibration data during the start up and displays a
message in case of an error and IRF condition will be signalled.
The user can acknowledge the error message via HMI only and the default calibration data will be applied to
the relay and IRF condition will be cleared.
The relay will be functional only when the calibration error message is acknowledged. In this case, the relay
performance is not guaranteed and it should be sent to the factory for calibration.
6. Setting Error
The 7SR45 Argus Relay checks for the integrity of the settings during the start up and displays a message in
case of an error and IRF condition will be signalled.
The user can acknowledge the error message via HMI only and the default settings will be applied to the relay
and IRF condition will be cleared.
The relay will be functional only when the setting error message is acknowledged.
NOTE:
In case Card Error and MLFB Error, the relay will not be functional and the relay should be sent to the factory.

The following table displays the error messages and the error codes in the Instrument Mode.
Table 3-18 IRF
Errors Error Code Error Message

Setting Error 00000001 Load default settings!
Calibration Error 00000010 Load default calibration!

Card Error 00001000 Analog & IO card Error!
Internal Supply Voltage Error 00010000
Unexpected Error 00100000
NOTE:
If a binary output is assigned to IRF, it is recommended not to use the same binary output for any other protection
function configuration.
3.21 Data Storage

The relay stores two types of data: Fault Records, Event records.
Data records are stored in the non-volatile memory. The data storage menu contains the settings for clearing events
and faults.
3.21.1 Fault Records (Trip Log)

Fault records are triggered when the protection function detects a fault condition and the trip alert message appears
on LCD to indicate that a new fault has occurred. Up to 10 fault records can be stored and displayed on the fascia
LCD.
Fault records provide a summary of relay status when the trip occurs, i.e. setting group, element issued the trip,
any phase/earth picked up, fault magnitude, LED indications, general alarm, and date and time.
Trip alert message is displayed until the fault is acknowledged by the user.
The event records and the fault records provide the full sequence of events that resulted to a trip for analysis.
Fault records are stored in a rolling buffer with the oldest faults overwritten. The fault storage can be cleared with
the DATA STORAGE > Clear Faults setting in HMI.
3.21.2 Event Records (Event Log)

The event recorder feature allows the time tagging of any change of state (Event) in the relay. When an event
occurs, the actual event condition is logged as a record with a date and time stamp to a resolution of 1 ms. The
relay can store maximum of 100 event records. When the event buffer is full, any new record will overwrite the old
records.
Stored events can be cleared by using the DATA STORAGE > Clear Events setting in HMI or from Reydisp.
The following events are logged:
• Change of state of binary outputs
• Change of state of binary inputs
• Change of settings
• Device start up and shut down
• Protection element operation
• Critical or low battery
• General alarm
• IRF
The Thermal level of the device can be cleared using the DATA STORAGE > Reset Thermal Level setting in HMI
or from Reydisp.
All events can be uploaded over the data communications channel(s) and displayed in the ‘Reydisp’ package in
chronological order and viewed in the sequence of events.
NOTE:
Fault and Event records to be downloaded before uploading the device firmware.

3.22 Real Time Clock
Time and date can be set either via the relay fascia using appropriate commands in the System Config menu or
using Reydisp software. When the relay is de-energized, time and date are maintained by CR1632, 3 V 140 mAh
Li/MnO2 coin cell batteries.
The relay can be synchronized to the nearest second or minute using the Reydisp software. The device can have
a drift of ±6 s/day.
Table 3-19 Real Time Clock
Attribute Value
Accuracy (-10°C to 60°C) ±70 p.p.m
The default date is set as 01/01/2014 to indicate that the date is not set. In the relay, only the hours and minutes
can be edited. When the user presses ENTER after editing the seconds, seconds is set to zero and the clock starts.
By default, the clock follows a 24 hour format for time and DD/MM/YYYY format for date.
3.23 Operating Mode

The 7SR45 Argus relay has the three operating modes:
• Local
• Remote
• Out of Service
The following table identifies the functions operation in each mode. The modes can be selected by the following
methods:
SETTINGS MODE>SYSTEM CONFIG>Operating Mode setting, a Binary Input or Command.

which port is used for remote operation. If the port is set to Local or Remote, the port can be used for all
operations and has no priority.
The communication port modes can be selected at:

SETTINGS MODE>SYSTEM CONFIG>Communications

3.24 Settings Groups
The relay provides two groups of settings – Group number (Gn) 1 to 2. At any one time, only one group of settings
can be ‘active’ – SYSTEM CONFIG >Active Group setting.
By using the View/Edit Group settings, the user can edit one group when the relay operates as per the settings
from another “active” group.
Some settings are independent of the active group setting i.e. they apply to all settings groups. The group
dependent settings are indicated by Gn prefix.
A change of settings group can be achieved both locally at the relay fascia and remotely over the data
communications channel(s) or via a binary input. By default, setting group change by BI is level triggered.
NOTE:
When the setting group or any setting parameters is changed, the relay will restart to apply the new settings and
the protection is not active for a moment.
NOTE:
One setting group is available for the MLFB 7SR450[1/3]-xGA10-1AA0 variant.
3.25 Password Feature

The relay incorporates password protection for settings.
The programmable password feature enables the user to enter a 4 character alpha-numeric code to secure access
to the relay functions. The relay is supplied with the password set to NONE, i.e. the password feature is disabled.
The password must be entered twice as a security measure against the accidental changes. Once a password has
been entered then it will be required thereafter to change settings. Passwords can be de-activated by using the
password to gain access and by entering the password NONE. Again this must be entered twice to deactivate the
security system.
As soon as the user attempts to change a setting, the password is requested before any changes are allowed.
Once the password has been validated, the user is ‘logged on’ and any further changes can be made without
re-entering the password. If no more changes are made within 1 minute then the user will automatically be ‘logged
off’, re-enabling the password feature.
The password prevents unauthorised changes to settings from the front fascia or over the data communications
channel(s).
The password validation screen also displays a numerical code. If the password is lost or forgotten, this code
should be communicated to Siemens customer support representatives and the password can be retrieved.
3.26 Battery
7SR45 Argus Relay consists of CR123 A, 3 V 1400 mAh Li-Mn non rechargeable battery. The battery is used to
energize the device when auxiliary voltage/phase current/USB is not available. The user can perform actions such
as viewing the fault records, setting change, and resetting the flags with battery power.
3.27 Firmware Update

In 7SR45 Argus Relay, firmware can be updated by performing the following procedure:
1. Connect the relay to a local PC using a USB cable.
2. Run the valid executable file from the local PC.
The application detects the connected relay and updates the firmware.
If any failure occurs, a message appears automatically in the PC application.
3. After successful update, the relay automatically restarts.
Do not disconnect the USB when the firmware update is in progress. If the firmware update is
! terminated intermittently, it may corrupt the existing firmware in the relay and the relay may stop
working.
This alert appears when the firmware is updated.

This alert appears only when the 7SR45 Argus Relay is loaded with
2438H80001R2x-1x firmware.

The following tables shows the compatibility of 7SR4501/7SR4502/7SR4503/7SR4504 device and firmware.

This section describes how to use the Communication Interface with a control system or interrogating computer.
The interface is compatible with control and automation systems using industry standard communications protocols
IEC 60870-5-103 and MODBUS-RTU.
Reydisp Evolution Software is available, for computers running Microsoft Windows™ to connect to devices to
provide operational information, post-fault analysis, setting interrogation and editing facilities, etc.
The configuration software can be downloaded from our website www.siemens.com/reyrolle
This section specifies connection details and lists the information available through the individual protocols.
NOTE:
The 7SR45 Argus Dual Powered Relay variant only supports the data communication.

Section 2: Physical Connection
2.1 Introduction
The relay provides one “Front” USB communication interface located on the fascia and one RS485 located on the
“Rear” as standard.
A detailed description of the ports are given below.
RS485: This port can be used for IEC60870-5-103 and MODBUS-RTU communications to a
substation SCADA or integrated control system or for engineer remote access. This
port can also be used for connection to Reydisp software.
USB: This port is used for IEC60870-5-103 (default setting) communication with the Reydisp
software.
Any or all serial ports can be mapped to the IEC60870-5-103 or MODBUS-RTU protocol at any one time,
protocols available will depend upon relay model.
When connecting to Reydisp Evolution software the protocol for the relevant port should be set to IEC60870-5-
103.
2.2 USB Interface

The USB communication port is connected using a standard USB cable with a type B connection to the relay and
type A to the PC.
The PC will require a suitable USB driver to be installed; this will be carried out automatically when the Reydisp
software is installed. When the Reydisp software is running with the USB cable connected to a device an additional
connection is shown. Connections to these devices are not shown when they are not connected.
The USB communication interface on the relay and its associated settings are located in the Data communications
menu. When connecting to Reydisp using this connection the default settings can be used without the need to first
change any settings.
Access to the communication settings for the USB port is only available from the relay front fascia via the key pad
setting menu COMMUNICATIONS MENU.

2.3 RS485 Interface

The 2-wire RS485 communication port is located on the rear of the relay and can be connected using a suitable
RS485 120 Ohm screened twisted pair cable.
The RS485 electrical connection can be used in a single or multi-drop configuration. The RS485 master must
support and use the Auto Device Enable (ADE) feature. The last device in the connection must be terminated
correctly in accordance with the master device driving the connection. This can be done via the internal 120 ohm
terminating resistor, which can be connected between (A) and (B) by fitting an external wire loop between terminals
1 and 2 on the X4 connector.
The polarity of the signal terminals is marked as A and B in line with the RS485 standard. The polarity is that when
the bus is in the quiescent state and no communication is taking place, the A terminal is more positive than B. This
can be used to identify the polarity of any equipment to be connected, typically measured at each terminal in turn
to ground. Connection of the device to a termination network at the end of the bus will also be to suit the quiescent
state as shown in the diagram below.
The polarity marking is often found to be reversed or marked as +/- on other equipment so care is required. If the
devices are connected in reverse, communication to all devices will be disturbed but no damage will occur. If
problems are experienced during commissioning, the connections should be tried in reverse.
The maximum number of relays that can be connected to the bus is 32.
The following settings, on the COMMUNICATIONS MENU, must be configured when using the RS485 interface.

Section 4: IEC 60870-5-103 Definitions
4.1 Introduction
This section describes the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol implementation in the relays. This protocol is used for the
communication with Reydisp software and can also be used for communication with a suitable control system.
The control system or local PC acts as the master in the system with the relay operating as a slave responding to
the master's commands. The implementation provides event information, time synchronising, commands and
measurands and also supports the transfer of disturbance records.
This protocol can be set to use any or all of the relays hardware interfaces (USB, RS485) where fitted and is the
standard protocol used by the USB port. The relay can communicate simultaneously on all ports regardless of
protocol used.
The Station Address of the port being used must be set to a suitable address within the range 0 - 254 to enable
communication. This can be set by the Communications Menu: -xxxxx Stn Addr setting.
4.2 Cause of Transmission

NOTE:
In the IEC103, message frames are separated by a silent interval of at least 3.5 character times. This time interval
is also called t3.5. This t3.5 delay needs to be provided by the IEC103 master for response to another query.
7SR45 Argus Relay follows the below equation for satisfying the silent interval time.
tdelay required = 11 x 3.5/b
Where,
11 = bits
b = baud rate in bps
tdelay for 7SR45 = tdelay required + 10 ms tolerance

tp or ts must be equal to tdelay for 7SR45.

Section 5: Modbus Definitions
5.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the MODBUS-RTU protocol implementation in the relays. This protocol is used for
communication with a suitable control system.
This protocol can be set to use any or all of the relays hardware interfaces (USB, RS485) where fitted. The relay
can communicate simultaneously on all ports regardless of protocol used.
The Station Address of the port being used must be set to a suitable address within the range 1 - 247 to enable
communication. This can be set by the Communications Menu: xxxxx Stn Addr setting.
Definitions with shaded area are not available on all relay models.
5.2 MODBUS Register Data Types
5.2.1 FLOAT_IEEE_754
The float data type conforms to the IEEE 754 floating point definition. This specifies that 32 bits of data will be
formatted as a sign bit in the most significant bit (MSB) followed by an 8 bit exponent then a 23 bit mantissa,
down to the least significant bit (LSB).
MSB LSB
Sign Exponent Mantissa
5.2.2 FP_32BITS_3DP
The FP_32BITS_3DP is a 32 bit integer fixed point value, containing 3 decimal places of information. It is used to
send a real value to 3 decimal places as an integer. For example, if the value in a device is 123.456 it will be sent
as 123456. As it is an integer, negative numbers are sent as 2's complement.
FP_32BITS_3DP & MODBUS

In this MODBUS implementation the 32 bit value is stored in 2 16 registers in Big-Endian format. As an
example, if we take the hex representation of 123456, we have 1E240h. Assume this is stored in the
registers 30001 and 30002, it would look as follows:
Address Value
30001 1
30002 E240
On reception these two registers should be interpreted in the correct order as a 32 bit integer.
5.2.3 UINT32
The UINT32 is a signed 32 bit integer. As it is an integer, negative numbers are sent as 2's complement.
UINT32 & MODBUS

In this MODBUS implementation the 32 bit value is stored in 2 16 bit registers in Big-Endian format. As
an example, if we take the hex representation of -123456, in 2's complement, we have FFFE1DC0h.
Assume this is stored in the registers 30001 and 30002, it would look as follows:
Address Value
30001 FFFE
30002 1DC0
On reception these two registers should be interpreted in the correct order as a 32 bit integer.

5.2.4 UINT16
The UINT16 is a signed 16 bit integer. As it is an integer, negative numbers are sent as 2's complement.
UINT16 & MODBUS

In this MODBUS implementation the 16 bit value is stored in a 16 bit register in Big-Endian format. As an
example, if we take the hex representation of 5678 we have 162Eh. Assume this is stored in the register
30001, it would look as follows:
Address Value
30001 162E
On reception this register should be interpreted as a 16 bit integer.
Truncation
Calculations are performed as 32 bit. The 16 bit value is the lowest 16 bits of the 32 bit value. Therefore,
when values overflow the returned value is the lowest 16 bits of the calculated value. For Example, if the
value is 85400 = 14D98h, the value returned would be the lowest 16 bits = 4D98h which equals 19864.
5.2.5 EVENT
MODBUS does not define a method for extracting events; therefore a private method has been defined based on
that defined by IEC60870-5-103.
The EVENT register contains the earliest event record available. The event record is 8 registers (16bytes) of
information, whose format is described below. When this record has been read it will be replaced by the next
available record. Event records must be read completely; therefore the quantity value must be set to 8 before
reading. Failing to do this will result in an exception code 2. If no event record is present the exception code 2 will
be returned. The EVENT register should be polled regularly by the master for events.
The EVENTCOUNT register can be checked periodically to determine how many events are stored.
The format of the event record is defined by the zero byte. It signifies the type of record which is used to decode
the event information. The zero byte can be one of the following.
Format
The format of the event record is defined by the zero byte. It signifies the type of record which is used to
decode the event information. The zero byte can be one of the following.

5.2.6 EVENTCOUNT
The EVENTCOUNT register contains the current number of events in the relay's event buffer.
5.2.7 TIME_METER
The TIME_METER register contains the device's time. The time must be read or written in one step; therefore the
quantity should be 4 registers. Failing to do this will result in an exception code 2. The time format is 8 bytes as
follows.
The following table describes the fields in the time.

5.2.8 STR32 and STR64
5.2.8.1 BITSTRING
A Bit-String (or Bit-Array) is a method of compactly storing a number of bits of data. In this instance we store up to
16 bit values, for example the states of binary inputs, in a single 16 bit register. The first bit value is stored in the
Least Significant Bit (LSB) of the register. The 16th value would be in the Most Significant Bit (MSB). Bit values
can only be zero or one. Any unused bits will be set to zero.
In this MODBUS implementation the 16 bit value is stored in a 16 bit register in Big-Endian format. As an
example, assume bits 1, 3, 9 and 12 are set. The binary representation of this would be 00001001000001012
giving a hex representation of 0905h. Assume this is stored in the register 30001, it would look as follows:
Address Value

NOTE:
In the RTU mode, message frames are separated by a silent interval of at least 3.5 character times. This time
interval is also called t3.5. This t3.5 delay needs to be provided by the Modbus RTU master for response to
another query.
7SR45 Argus Relay follows the below equation for satisfying the silent interval time.
tdelay required = 11 x 3.5/b

Section 1: Applications Guide
1.1 Current Transformer Requirements

7SR45 Self Powered/Dual Powered Non-Directional Overcurrent and Earth Fault Relay uses the current inputs to
energize the relay.
Higher ohmic burdens in the current transformer (CT) secondary circuit results in greater saturation
of the core and introduces larger errors in the secondary current waveform. For a given secondary current, it
requires more voltage from the CT for a higher burden.
The total burden on the CT is the vector sum of the CT winding resistance, the connecting lead resistance, the
impedance of any auxiliary CTs, and the impedance of the connected relays and meters.
After the ohmic burden is determined, the next step in predicting CT performance is to determine the required CT
excitation voltage or secondary limiting voltage by multiplying the calculated total ohmic burden by the accuracy
limit factor (ALF) and rated secondary current.
The secondary limiting excitation voltage (EALF) is given by the following expression:
EALF = ALF * Isr * (Rct + Rbn)
Where,
ALF – Accuracy Limiting Factor
Isr – Rated Secondary current of CT (A)
Rct – CT Winding resistance (Ω)
Rbn – Rated Burden of CT (Ω)
If the secondary limiting excitation voltage (EALF) calculated exceeds the knee point voltage of the connected CT,
the CT may get saturated.
To select a proper CT, the accuracy limit factor (ALF) at a given burden needs to be considered. The ALF needs
to be checked for entire range of currents the relay is expected to operate. For proper operation of the CT, the
following condition needs to be fulfilled.
ALF * Isr * (Rct + Rbn) ≥ Is * (Rct + Rb)

So,
ALF = Is *(R ct + R b )
Isr *(Rct + Rbn)
Is – Actual Secondary current of CT (A)

Rb – Actual secondary burden of CT (Ω) (Includes Burden of the relay (Rrel) and resistance (Rl) of the cable between
CT and Relay.
The burden of 7SR45 relay depends on the input current. The impedance of the relay is inversely proportional to
the input current. Based on the field conditions, it is recommended to select the primary CT turns ratio should be
at least 10 %xIn to reduce the dependency of the internal battery.
The following graphs show the impedance of the relay for different currents when the relay is powered through a
single phase current input.
NOTE:
When all the three phases are available, the burden on each CT reduces.

Sample Calculation:

Rated CT Burden (Rbn) : 2.5 VA (Rbn = 2.5 Ω for 1A secondary current)
CT winding resistance (Rct) : 0.5 Ω
Rated Secondary Current (Isr) : 1A
Case 1:
In the absence/loss of auxiliary power, the minimum phase current required for the relay operation in single phase
= 0.2 In (Is = 0.2A for rated current of 1 A)
ALF ≥ 0.2 * (0.5 +28.5)

1 * (0.5 + 2.5)
Rb = 28.5 at 0.2 A (Refer to Impedance graphs for current >1A (Nominal current, In = 1A)
ALF ≥ 1.933
Case 2:
Fault current = 20 A
ALF ≥ 20 * (0.5 + 0.49)
1 * (0.5 + 2.5)
Rb = 0.49 at 20 A (Refer to Impedance graphs for current >1A (Nominal current, In=1A)
ALF ≥ 6.6
The typical accuracy limit factor would be ALF = 10
The calculation shown above is an example. To select an appropriate CT, similar calculation needs to be done
with the actual parameters.
Recommended CTs:
Considering the CTs are connected to 7SR45 Argus Relay only and the distance between CTs and 7SR45 Argus
Relay (typically 3 m) is short, the following are the recommended CTs to be used:
• 2.5 VA, 5P10 or 5P20 for In = 1 A
• 2.5 VA, 5P20 for In = 5 A
NOTE:
For safe operation of the 7SR45 Argus Relay, the maximum power delivered to the relay is 1000 VA for 1 s.
Moreover, it is not recommended to overload the relay above 1000 VA for multiple times.

1.2 Time Delayed Overcurrent (51/51G/51N)

The 51-n characteristic element provides a number of time/current operate characteristics. The element can be
defined as either an Inverse Definite Minimum Time Lag (IDMTL) or Definite Time Lag (DTL) characteristic. If an
IDMTL characteristic is required, then IEC, ANSI/IEEE and a number of manufacturer specific curves are supported.
IDMTL characteristics are defined as “Inverse” because their tripping times are inversely proportional to the Fault
Current being measured. This makes them particularly suitable to grading studies where it is important that only the
Relay(s) closest to the fault operate. Discrimination can be achieved with minimised operating times.
To optimise the grading capability of the relay additional time multiplier, ‘Follower DTL’ (Fig 1-2) or ‘Minimum
Operate Time’ (Fig. 1 3) settings can be applied.

To increase sensitivity, dedicated Earth fault elements are used. There should be little or no current flowing to earth
in a healthy system so such relays can be given far lower pick-up levels than relays which detect excess current (
> load current) in each phase conductor. Such dedicated earth fault relays are important where the fault path to
earth is a high-resistance one (such as in highly arid areas) or where the system uses high values of earthing
resistor / reactance and the fault current detected in the phase conductors will be limited.
1.3 Overcurrent Characteristics

1.3.1 Selection of Overcurrent Characteristics
The characteristic curve shape is selected to be the same type as the other relays on the same circuit or to grade
with items of plant e.g. fuses or earthing resistors.
The application of IDMTL characteristic is summarised in the following table:
Table 1-1 Application of IDMTL Characteristics
OC/EF Curve Characteristic Application
IEC Normal Inverse (NI) Generally applied
IEEE/ANSI Moderately Inverse

(MI)
IEC Very Inverse (VI) Used with high impedance paths where there is a significant difference
between fault levels at protection points
IEEE/ANSI Very Inverse (VI)
IEC Extreme Inversely (EI) Grading with Fuses
IEEE/ANSI Extremely Inverse

(EI)
IEC Long Time Inverse (LTI) Used to protect transformer earthing resistors having long withstand times

1.3.2 Reset Delay

The increasing use of plastic insulated cables, both conventionally buried and aerial bundled conductors, have
given rise to the number of flashing intermittent faults on distribution systems. At the fault position, the plastic melts
and temporarily reseals the faulty cable for a short time after which the insulation fails again. The same phenomenon
has occurred in compound-filled joint boxes or on ‘clashing’ overhead line conductors. The repeating occurrence of
the fault can cause electromechanical disc relays to “ratchet” up and eventually trip the faulty circuit if the reset time
of the relay is longer than the time between successive faults.
To mimic an electromechanical relay the relay can be user programmed for an IEC/ANSI DECAYING characteristic
when an ANSI operate characteristic is applied. Alternatively a DTL reset (0 to 60 seconds) can be used with other
operate characteristics.
For protection of cable feeders, it is recommended that a 60 s DTL reset be used.
On overhead line networks, particularly where reclosers are incorporated in the protected system, instantaneous
resetting is desirable to ensure that, on multiple shot reclosing schemes, correct grading between the source relays
and the relays associated with the reclosers is maintained.

1.4 Instantaneous Overcurrent (50/50G/50N)

Each instantaneous element has an independent setting for pick-up current and a follower definite time lag (DTL)
which can be used to provide time grading margins, sequence co-ordination grading or scheme logic. The
“instantaneous” description relates to the pick-up of the element rather than its operation.
Operating Characteristic:
50-n

Current
Figure 1-5 General Form of DTL Operate Characteristic
Instantaneous elements can be used in current graded schemes where there is a significant difference between the
fault current levels at different relay point. The Instantaneous element is set to pick up at a current level above the
maximum Fault Current level at the next downstream relay location, and below its own minimum fault current level.
The protection is set to operate instantaneously and is often termed ‘Highset Overcurrent’. A typical application is
the protection of transformer HV connections – the impedance of the transformer ensuring that the LV side has a
much lower level of fault current.
The 50-n elements have a very low transient overreach i.e. their accuracy is not appreciably affected by the initial
dc offset transient associated with fault inception.

1.5 Thermal Overload (49)

Continuous overload current can cause the electrical equipment (cables/transformers) to heat above the rated
temperature or thermal equilibrium. This would result in damage to the protected equipment. In order to overcome
this issue, the electrical equipment must be protected from Thermal Overload.
Thermal Overload Function monitors Thermal Levels (Ѳ) of the electrical equipment thus tripping them in case of
thermal overload. The function prevents re-energizing of electrical equipment until the equipment is cooled.
The element uses maximum RMS value of phase currents to estimate the real-time Thermal level (θ) of cables or
transformers. The Thermal level is based on both past and present current levels, Thermal level θ = 100% for
maximum thermal withstand of equipment or the Trip threshold.
Figure 1-6 Thermal Overload Heating and Cooling Characteristic
Behavior in case of power supply failure (Aux/CT power)
In case of power supply failure, depending on the selection of the setting the thermal level stored in the non-
volatile memory will either be the initial level or the previous level. In the latter case, the thermal replica uses the
stored value for calculation and matches it to the operating conditions.

1.6 Inrush Response

7SR45 Argus Relay is designed with immunity against inrush currents (15% of 2nd Harmonic) up to 3 times of peak
current with fundamental Component (50 Hz/60Hz) inside the currents less than 95 % of Iset.
During charging of transformer in the distribution system, the inrush current will be generated and the relay will not
respond to the Inrush current up to 3 times of its peak value, since it’s not a fault condition.
For example, in the below waveform the inrush currents have been simulated for 3 times of peak values of the
phase overcurrent setting (51-1: Iset – 0.9 A) and the relay response for the inrush current is monitored. The second
harmonic content of the simulated inrush currents is 15 % and the relay fundamental current component is less
0.85 A (<95 % Iset).

In the waveform, fundamental component of 50 Hz signal is less than 0.85 A and peak current is typically 3 times
of the Iset. Relay will not initiate trip signal for this condition.
NOTE:
This section is applicable for 7SR450[1/3]-xGA10-1AA0 variants only.
1.7 Inrush Detector (81HBL2)

This element detects the presence of high levels of 2nd Harmonic current which is indicative of transformer Inrush
current at switch-on. These currents may be above the operate level of the overcurrent elements for a short duration
and it is important that the relay does not issue an incorrect trip command for this transient network condition.
If a magnetic inrush condition is detected, operation of the overcurrent elements can be blocked.
Calculation of the magnetising inrush current level is complex, however a ratio of 20% 2nd Harmonic to fundamental
current will meet most applications without compromising the integrity of the overcurrent protection.
When the inrush detector (81HBL2) is active, if the fundamental current crosses the 81HBL2 Release Block setting,
the relay will issue the trip command and provide the fault and event records based on the protection function Is
setting and the current magnitudes.
NOTE:
When the 50LC Inrush Action is enabled, the 81HBL2 Release Block setting should be greater than the 50LC
setting.
NOTE:
This section is not applicable for 7SR450[1/3]-xGA10-1AA0 variants.
