Construction

The compact 7SA513 distance protection re-

lay contains all the components required for
analog value acquisition and evaluation, the
operating and display panel, indication and
command outputs, binary input options,
serial interfaces and auxiliary voltage con-
verters. The use of a powerful 32-bit signal
processor combined with a 16-bit standard
processor permits integration of numerous
protection functions into a compact device.
Three housing versions can be supplied. The
version for panel surface mounting is fitted
with double-tier terminals accessible from
the front. The versions for panel flush
mounting or cubicle mounting have con- Fig. 6/83 Fault detection

Protection functions 6
Distance protection
The main function of the 7SA513 protec-
tion relay is a non-switched distance pro-
tection. By parallel calculation and
monitoring of all six impedance loops a
high degree of sensitivity and selectivity is
achieved for all types of fault. The shortest
command time is less than one network
cycle.
The fault detection characteristic used is
the polygon impedance fault detection Z<.
The shape of the fault detection polygon
permits optimum adaptation to the load
conditions on the protected line. Starting Fig. 6/84 Characteristics of the voltage and angle-dependent overcurrent fault detection V/I/ϕ
of unfaulted loops is eliminated to prevent
the adverse influence of currents and volt-
ages in the fault free loops. Overcurrent
fault detection can be activated in parallel
to the polygon impedance fault detection.
As an option to the polygon impedance
fault detection, voltage and angle-depen-
dent overcurrent fault detection may also
be used. This V / I / ϕ characteristic uses
the phase voltages Vph-E or the line voltages
Vph-ph depending on the phase angle ϕ and
the phase current Iph according to the se-
lected mode of starting.

Protection functions
Distance protection (continued)
The polygon tripping characteristic per-
mits separate setting of the reactance X and
the resistance R. The resistance section R
can be set separately for faults with and
without earth involvement. Earth faults are
detected by monitoring the earth current
IE, the negative-sequence current I2 and/or
the displacement voltage VE.
Five distance zones can be set forward,
reverse or non-directionally, two of them
as overreach zones for auto-reclosure and
permissible tripping schemes. For each dis-
tance zone a time stage is available for the
directional and non-directional character-
istic (a total of 10 independent time
stages).
Compensation for load current and paral-
lel lines is included.
6 Digital filtering of the measured values
makes the unit insensitive to disturbances
in the measured values. In particular the
influence of DC components, capacitive
voltage transformers, series compensated
lines and frequency changes is reduced.
Sound phase polarization and voltage
memories provide dynamically unlimited
directional sensitivity. Phase-selective
1-pole or 3-pole tripping is possible when
used with 1-pole or 1 and 3-pole rapid or
delayed auto-reclosure scheme.
Following the loss of V.T. voltage inputs,
the distance protection can be blocked auto-
matically to prevent incorrect operation.
Fault locator
The fault locator calculates the fault imped-
ance and the distance-to-fault. The result
can be displayed in ohms, kilometers or per-
cent of the line length. Parallel line and load
current compensation are also available.
Tele (pilot) protection
for distance protection
For fast selective clearance of faults up to
100 % of the line length a signal transmis-
sion function is available. The following
modes may be selected:
• Permissible underreach transfer trip
with fault detection
• Zone acceleration with Z1B
6/84
• Permissible overreach with overreach
zone Z1B
• Direction comparison with directional
fault detection
• Unblocking mode with overreach zone Z1B
• Unblocking mode with directional fault
detection
• Blocking mode
• Overreach zone comparison via pilot wires
• Reverse interlocking
The transient blocking function is provided
with overreaching schemes to operate with
transient or current reversals resulting from
the clearance of short circuits on parallel
lines.
Power swing detection
During network power swings, large cur-
rents can occur along with small voltages.
Small voltages and large currents imply
small impedances which can cause un-
wanted tripping of distance protection
relays. To avoid uncontrolled tripping by
the distance protection and to achieve con-
trolled tripping in the event of loss of syn-
chronism (pole slip), a power swing
detection function is available for the
7SA513 protection relay.
The following operating modes for
network power swings can be set:
• Power swing blocking to prevent the
distance protection from tripping
• Power swing tripping for controlled
tripping in the event of unstable power
swings (out-of-step protection).
Fig. 6/86
Polygon for power
swing detection
Weak-infeed protection
– echo and/or trip
To prevent delayed tripping of permissible
schemes during weak or zero infeed situa-
tions, an echo function is provided.
If no fault detector picks up at one end of
the line, the signal received here is returned
as echo to allow accelerated tripping at the
other end of the line.
It is also possible to initiate tripping at the
weak-infeed end. At the end of the line
where the fault detector does not pick up,
a phase-selective 1-pole or 3-pole trip is
issued if a corresponding drop in the
phase-earth voltage is present.
Overcurrent protection as a backup func-
tion and emergency function during mea-
sured voltage failure
The 7SA513 protection relay includes
overcurrent protection. It can be used as a
backup function and as an emergency
function in the event of a short-circuit or
interruption in the voltage transformer
secondary circuit or if the circuit-breaker
of the voltage transformer (VT mcb) trips.
The settings for the emergency function
may differ from those of the backup pro-
tection function. The overcurrent protec-
tion can be set as two-stage definite-time
overcurrent protection or as inverse-time
overcurrent protection.
Siemens SIP · 2004

Protection functions
Switch-onto-fault protection
Instantaneous tripping is required when
energizing a faulty line. Initiation of the bi-
nary input “Manual Close” will, depending
on the setting, result in instantaneous trip-
ping in Z1, Z1B or with fault detection.
On definite, large current faults, the high
current instantaneous stage can initiate very
fast 3-pole tripping even if the binary input
“Manual Close” is not initiated.
Auto-reclosure
The 7SA513 relay is equipped with auto-
reclosure (AR). The range of functions in-
cludes:
• 3-pole RAR/DAR1) for all types of faults
• 1-pole RAR for 1-phase faults, no
reclosing for multi-phase faults
• 1-pole RAR for 1-phase and 2-phase faults
without earth, no reclose for multi-phase
faults
• 1-pole RAR for 1-phase and 3-pole
RAR/DAR for multi-phase faults
• 1-pole RAR for 1-phase and 2-phase faults
without earth and 3-pole RAR/DAR for
other faults
• Multiple-shot DAR
• Interaction with an external device for
auto-reclosure via binary inputs and
outputs
• Control of the integrated AR function by
external protection
• AR blocking for faults on the cable por-
tion of mixed cable/overhead lines
• Interaction with an internal or external
synchro-check
• Monitoring of the circuit-breaker auxil-
iary contacts.
