HARDWARE 
2. HARDWARE
EF devices can be used as autonomous devices or as part of a protection and control system. The devices are implemented based on a
microprocessor and a DSP linked through shared RAM and communication lines.
The digital processing is done by a high accuracy 16 bit converter. Each signal reaches this converter after being conditioned, filtered and
amplified. A high frequency sampling is done at 144 samples per cycle (at 8640 Hz for 60 Hz systems or at 7200Hz for 50 Hz systems). This
sampling is transformed into 24 samples per cycle through a digital process before reaching the protection functions.
INGEPAC EF devices have non-volatile flash memory where the user settings, configurations and application are stored. This kind of
memory allows software updates and modifications without needing to manipulate the device hardware.
2.1 CONSTRUCTION FEATURES

❑ Half chassis ½ 19” and 5U

PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
3. PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
3.1 DISTANCE UNITS (21)
Protections have measurement units per phase combination (AN, BN, CN, AB, BC, and CA), per characteristic (quadrilateral and Mho)
and per zone of operation (5 zones).
A distance protection measurement unit compares the voltage and current to calculate the impedance and the distance from the relay
to the fault to determine whether the fault is inside or outside the protected zone.
The protection has 5 zones of operation that can be configured independently with different characteristics. The overreaching zones
are useful as backup protection of the adjacent lines. The typical configuration uses three forward zones and one backwards.
❑ The first zone typically covers up to 80% of the protected line, causing instantaneous trips for faults in this zone.
❑ The second zone covers the rest of the line and part of the following one, usually up to 120% of the line. It provides trips or
signalling, depending on how it is programmed. The trips are not instantaneous, there is an additional programmable time for
giving another protection time to clear the fault if it is outside of its line.
❑ The third zone covers the rest of the overreach line and part of the next one. It provides trips or signalling, depending on how it is
programmed. The trips are not instantaneous, there is an additional programmable time available.
❑ The fourth zone covers the reverse line. It provides trips or signalling, depending on how it is programmed. The trips are not
instantaneous, there is an additional programmable time available.
❑ The fifth zone is used as backup and covers all the zones. It provides trips or signalling, depending on how it is programmed. The
trips are not instantaneous, there is an additional programmable time available.
The distance unit is supervised by the following functions:
❑ A directional function which provides the direction of the fault.

❑ A phase identifier which discriminates the phases involved in the fault, to prevent certain units from overreaching.
❑ Current supervision. This allows fixing the minimum value so that there are distance trips.
The Mho and/or quadrilateral characteristic can be used for both the single phase to ground faults and for phase - phase faults,
depending on which setting is selected.
The distance units for ground faults correct the current measured in each phase with the zero sequence using different compensation
factors for each zone.
In parallel lines, the distance units for ground faults correct the current measured in each phase with the neutral current using a mutual
compensation factor for each zone.
There are independent settings for each of the five zones (Table 2 and Table 3). Zone 1 has inductive tilting settings which do not exist
in the other zones (Table 2).
The reach of zone 1 can vary depending on the "Zone 1 extension" function.
❑ Nodes:
 Zone 1: PROT/PDIS1
 Zone 2: PROT/ZPDIS2
There are 6 settings tables.

The voltages and currents used correspond to the type of fault being analysed; for example, for an A phase to ground fault, the
corresponding phasors will be Ia and Va, for an A and B phase - phase fault, they will be Iab and Vab.

User Manual 48
The phase current used for single phase faults correspond to the current measured in each phase compensated with the zero
sequence. Double lines are also compensated with neutral current (mutual compensation factor).
Important: To operate, the phase current analysed has to be greater than 10% of the rated current when the rated current is 1A
and greater than 5% of the rated current when the rated current is 5A.
All of the Mho units are supervised by a reactance unit (Inductive X limit). In this way, the tendency for the Mho units to overreach
is prevented due to the influence of the load beforehand.
Zero compensation for double lines (km) is only applicable if the neutral current in the parallel line (IN2) is less than 1.35 times the
neutral current of the protected line (3I0).
If a pole is opened (from the trip), the positive sequence voltage will be calculated without taking into account the open pole's
phase voltage to avoid the distortion from discharging the line capacitors on this open phase. In other words, normally (with 3
poles closed) V1=1/3·(Va+a·Vb+a²·Vc)
If pole A is opened, V1 is calculated as V1=1/2·(0+a·Vb+a²·Vc) even if there is voltage in Va.
Memory is used according to polarization memory supervision. See section 3.3.3.
Figure 38 shows the forward, backwards and non-directional Mho characteristics.
Figure 39 shows the logic diagram of the Mho characteristic for units AN and AB forward.
❑ The other units function in a similar way.

❑ If the unit is configured backwards, the "Reverse" permissions are used.
❑ If the unit is configured as "Non directional", neither "Forward" nor "Backwards" permissions are used.
The input signals of this scheme are:
❑ Pole A open, Pole B open, Pole C open: Activated when the pole "x" is open. They are outputs of the function open pole
detector.
❑ Phase A open (I<), Phase B open (I<), Phase C open (I<): Indicates that the phase current is below the open pole detector

3.1.2 Quadrilateral
The Quadrilateral characteristic is used by making two comparisons for each zone and for each single phase component:
❑ The resistive component of each impedance with the corresponding "Resistive Reach" setting.
❑ The inductive component of each impedance with the corresponding "X Reach forward" or "X Reach reverse" (depending
on the sign and on the "Directional Mode" setting).
The resistive component of the impedance is calculated as follows:
Vpol
R = Re ( )
Ieq

User Manual 51
The inductive component of the impedance is calculated as follows:

̅̅̅̅̅]
Im[Vpol · Ipol
X = Im(ZL1) ·
Im[ZL1 · (Ieq · ̅̅̅̅̅
Ipol)]
For single phase units in zone 1, the inductive component is calculated as follows:
̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅
Im[Vpol · (Ipol · 1∠Z1BASCA˚)]
X = Im(ZL1)Ÿ ·
̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅
Im [ZL1 · (Ieq · (Ipol · 1∠Z1BASCA˚))]
Where:
❑ Vpol: Unit's voltage.

❑ Ieq: Unit's current in the case of single phases corresponding to the compensated current.
❑ ZL1: Line impedance characterised by the "Characteristic angle (º)" (setting).
❑ Z1BASCAº : "Tilt Angle Gnd (º)" (setting). Only for zone 1 and single-phase units.
❑ Ipol: Polarization current.
The intervention of the tilt angle is regulated by two settings (only zone 1 and single phase units):
❑ Tilt type (Gnd): If defined as "Disabled", this angle's value is always 0. If defined as "Time delayed", this angle maintains its
setting value during the time indicated in the setting "Tilt time Gnd (ms)". If defined as "Continuous" it always keeps its
setting value.
❑ Tilt time Gnd (ms): Time, in ms, for applying the tilt angle after the fault detection, only if the setting "Tilt type (Gnd)" is set
as "Time delayed".
Important: To operate, the phase current analysed must be greater than 10% of the rated current.
Figure 40 shows the forward, backwards and non-directional quadrilateral characteristics.
The signals used in each phase of the Quadrilateral characteristic are shown in Table 6. The operation zone must be such that these
two components are less than the set reach.

❑ Va, Vb, Vc: Phase voltages.
❑ Vab, Vbc, Vca: Phase - phase Voltages.
❑ I2: Negative sequence of the current calculated using the phase currents.

User Manual 52
In the case of single phases faults, the polarization current (Ipol) for each phase is chosen according to the "Quad. type (Gnd)"
setting. There are three possible options: zero sequence, negative sequence, and the maximum of both.
In the case of the phase - phase ones, the polarization current applied is always the negative sequence current, unless the value of
the negative sequence is less than the 25%2 of the positive sequence or less than the 5% of the rated current or the current of the
three phases is greater than three times the rated current. In that case, the current between the two phases is used.
The zero compensation and the memory are applied following the same conditions as for the Mho characteristic.

3.1.3 Timing Type for Tripping

The timing type for tripping indicates how the timing takes place from the start to the trip. This setting can only be selected in the
timed zones: 2, 3, 4 and 5.
There are two ways of tripping the distance units:
❑ Not delayed. This means that different starts in different phases do not delay the trip. For example, if a start takes place in
phase A and the start condition disappears in this phase, but phase B starts, timing continues. Hence, the trip is not
delayed.

User Manual 55
❑ Independent. Each phase has an independent timer. For example, if a start takes place in phase A and the start condition
disappears in this phase, but phase B starts, timing for tripping starts again.
In zone 1 (not timed), the "Independent" mode is always applied.
The condition for activating a unit (prior to the trip) is activated if there is a startup in any of the units (this is the case in "Not
delayed" mode) or in the specific unit (this is the case in the "Independent" mode) and the corresponding timing is fulfilled.
In the case of the "Independent" mode, once the corresponding condition for activating the unit has been activated, a seal is
applied so that the condition is not deactivated while there is an overcurrent (only in zones 2, 3, 4 and 5).
In order for a unit to trip, besides the unit having to be activated, there must be a closed phase or V1>80%Vrated for 1/4 cycle.
Figure 42 shows the logic diagram for trip mode without a delay between phases.

❑ Selector AN/BCN. Enables AN and BC units and blocks the other units. It is the signal “AN/BCN Selector” of the "Phase

❑ Selector BN/CAN. Enables BN and CA units and blocks the other units. It is the signal “BN/CAN Selector” of the "Phase
selector".
❑ Selector CN/ABN. Enables CN and AB units and blocks the other units. It is the signal “CN/ABN Selector” of the "Phase

❑ Zone n start AN. Indicated that the AN unit of the zone has started.

3.1.4 Zone 1 Extension

The zone 1 extension makes possible to vary the reach of the zone 1 in the first trip, returning to the set reach for the successive
trips. The zone 1 extension is applied when it is enabled and the recloser is in standby and it is not extended after the first reclose.
Zone 1 cannot be extended when the recloser is disabled or blocked.
It is applied to the mho and quadrilateral characteristics, there is an independent compensation factor for ground faults and for
phase - phase faults.
The settings are as follows:
❑ Enabled: Enables and disables the function.

❑ Gnd extension ratio: Factor by which the phase-ground reach setting of zone 1's Mho and Quad characteristics are
multiplied.
❑ Ph - ph extension ratio: Factor by which the phase-phase reach setting of zone 1's Mho and Quad characteristics are

fault are selected as follows:

Zero sequence current greater than 5% of Irated (0.25A for Irated=5A and 0.05A for Irated=1A) and the percentage must be greater
than the 10% of the maximum phase current.
Condition 2 (3 · I2 > 5% ∙ 𝐼𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑝ℎ𝑎𝑠𝑒)&(𝐼2 > 10% ∙ 𝐼1) (2)
Negative sequence current greater than 5% of Irated (0.25A for Irated=5A and 0.05A for Irated=1A) and the percentage must be
greater than the 10% of the positive sequence.
THREE PHASE FAULTS
It has to fulfil at least one of the following conditions:
❑ If neither (1) nor (2) are fulfilled.

❑ The values of the phase-phase currents minus their prefault values are analysed. The three of them must be greater than
the 70% of the maximum value.
The three zones Zxab, Zxbc, Zxca must be simultaneously failing for a three-phase fault to be signalled (even if the three phase-
phase units are enabled, it will not be signalled unless this condition is fulfilled).
TWO PHASE FAULTS
If only (2) is fulfilled, the fault is phase-phase.
When the fault detector is disabled, all the phase-phase units are enabled.
When the fault detector is enabled, the angle is analysed to determinate the faulted phases:
𝐴𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒 = a𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒(𝐼2 ) − a𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒(∆𝐼1 )
Where:
❑ I1 is the positive sequence current. Fault current minus prefault current.

❑ I2 in the negative sequence current.
The prefault value is captured from the fault detector. When the fault is detected, the previous 2 cycles of the current are captured.
This value is subtracted to the fault positive sequence.
Figure 48 Two phases fault identifier
SINGLE PHASE OR TWO PHASE TO GROUND FAULTS
If (1) and (2) are fulfilled, the fault is to ground (single phase or phase - phase). In this case, the angular selector becomes involved.
If the angles are not involved, the detection is made by voltages.

If a single phase / two phase fault to ground is detected, only the units involved will be enabled. If it is a CN/ABN, units CN and AB
are enabled and the others are blocked.

UNDETERMINED IDENTIFICATION
If (1) is fulfilled but (2) is not, all of the units will be enabled, since the relay cannot determine what type of fault is processed.
67NQ SINGLE PHASE FAULTS3
In the 67NQ teleprotection scheme, single pole trips are allowed. In case of single phase or two phase to ground faults, another
selector is used to determinate the fault type.
The angle is analysed to determinate the fault type:
𝐴𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒 = a𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒(𝐼2 ) − a𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒(∆𝐼1 )
Where:
❑ I1 is the positive sequence current. Fault current minus prefault current.

❑ I2 in the negative sequence current.

If any of the poles is open, the phase selector is not taken into account. In this case, the loops containing the open pole are blocked.
E.g.: If the open pole is A, loops AB, CA and AN are blocked. The trip will be three-pole.
In the case of a three-phase opening, if only the breaker status generic input is programmed (not by pole); the phase selector
continues being used. In other words, only the phase selector is disabled in the case of a single-phase opening. In this case, the fault

3.1.7 Fault detection

This function detects the start of the fault by checking the differences in the actual zero sequence, positive sequence and negative
sequence currents, with those in two cycles before.
It is activated when:
❑ The difference between the actual measurement of the current's positive sequence (I1) and the measurement two cycles
beforehand exceeds the 10% of the rated current and one of the following conditions is fulfilled:
 The difference between the current measurement of the negative sequence of the current (I2) and the
measurement two cycles before exceeds 4% of the rated current.
 The difference between the current measurement of the zero sequence of the current (I0) and the
measurement two cycles before exceeds 4% of the rated current.
 The positive sequence of the current (I1) increases by more than 25% compared to two cycles before.
When one of these thresholds is exceeded or if the phase selector identifies a fault which is not three-phase, the fault detector is
activated. The fault detector stays active for 30ms after the previous situation disappears. If a distance unit or an overcurrent
startup occurs while the fault detector is active, the fault detector will stay active for 30 ms after the trip disappears.

It supervises the direction of the fault such that it only allows faults that occur in the direction programmed in each zone. This is
applicable to all distance units (Mho and Quad).
Functioning is conditioned by polarization memory supervision. Hence, if the logic indicates that the memorised voltage must
be used, this is used during the set time. See section 3.3.3.

In order for the directional to function, the voltage must be greater than 2V and the currents must be greater than 5% of the

3.1.9 Capacitive Voltage Transformer (CVT) Lines

With the use of capacitive voltage transformers (CVTs), in the event of a very sharp voltage drop, faults very close to the relay or
with high SIR (Source Impedance Ratio), give rise to very serious transients in the voltage, which tend to cause overreaches in the
distance units. In conditions in which the current is very small, generally when the value of the SIR is very high with respect to the
line impedance, this problem will arise. To avoid it, the voltages are filtered when the seriousness of the transients is very acute.
3.1.9.1 Capacitive Voltage Transformer Logic

If capacitive voltage transformers are being used, this function will be enabled by the settings.
In order to determine when the voltages must be filtered, two conditions must be fulfilled: A fault has occurred and there is a
risk of overreaching (for which the SIR estimation will be used).
To estimate the SIR, the lowest value obtained from amongst all the units indicated by the phase identifier will be used. They
are compared with a threshold which will depend on the CVT type (which can be selected through the settings). If the SIR value

User Manual 77
calculated is greater than the threshold specified and a fault is detected using the fault detector, then the filtered voltages will
be used. Otherwise, the voltages will be calculated as usual.
The filtered voltages are only used in zone 1 of the distance functions (unit 21). A digital bandpass filter is used.
❑ Enabled: Indicates whether the function is enabled or not.

❑ CVT type: Selects the type of supervision and with it, the threshold used to compare the SIR calculated to determine
whether or not filtered voltages should be used.

3.1.9.2 SIR Calculation

SIR is understood as the source impedance ratio with respect to the line impedance.
It is calculated with the half cycle dft. The calculation is performed on the units indicated by the phase identifier. The SIR value
to bear in mind will always be the one corresponding to the one with lowest value amongst the units indicated by the phase
identifier.
The SIR and the option to use or not to use filtered voltages is assessed when the fault detector is activated. Depending on the
CVT supervision type ("Passive" or "Active"), different thresholds will be used to determine whether or not to used filtered
voltages.
If the SIR is greater than 1 for the actives or 10 for the passive ones, the high speed tripping is blocked and filtered voltages are
used in Zone 1, for both MHO and QUAD characteristics.
The formulation for calculating the SIR is shown in Table 25:

3.3 CURRENT UNITS
3.3.1 General overcurrent description
3.3.1.1 Timed characteristics

When enabled and unblocked, the unit acts when the setting value is exceeded during the programmed time.
To reset, the current must fall below 95% of the setting value.
The different curve options are shown in the curve appendix.
The timed unit can be configured with a minimum response time, that is, a limit that prevents any unit from tripping below a
minimum time when the trip time corresponding to the curve in use is met. This is done to prevent timed trips from being
faster than instantaneous trips. It is configured with an additional time setting, so that if it is set to zero, there is no such limit.
The settings used in these functions (Table 28) are:
❑ Enabled. Indicates whether the function is enabled or not.

❑ Operation type. To be selected between:
 “Trip” generates function trips.
 “Start”, in which the function generates a pickup but no trips.
 “Block by IOC1”. The timed unit’s trip is blocked if the instantaneous unit 1 has picked up. The timed pickup is not
deactivated.
 “Block by IOC1, 2”. The timed unit’s trip is blocked if the instantaneous unit 1 or 2 has picked up. The timed pickup is
not deactivated.
 “Block by IOC1, 2, 3”. The timed unit’s trip is blocked if the instantaneous unit 1, 2 or 3 has picked up. The timed pickup
is not deactivated.
❑ Start value (A). Set in secondary amperes. It indicates the current value for which the function is activated.
❑ Operating Curve Type Indicates the type of curve selected from the options:
 ANSI-EI Extreme. Inverse (1)

❑ Time dial. Indicates the time curve within the selected characteristic.

User Manual 83
❑ Delay/minimum time (ms). It has a different functionality depending on the type of the curve selected:
 When the selected curve is a definite time, it indicates the time during which the conditions for the tripping of the
function must be met.
 In the rest of the curve, it indicates the minimum response time. i.e., in order for a trip to be produced, the time used
will be the greater between this setting and the time associated to the curve.
❑ Torque control. Selects the function’s directional type:
 “NO”. Acts as non-directional.
 “Forward”. Acts when the directional indicates forward.
 “Reverse”. Acts when the directional indicates reverse.
❑ Behaviour with Fuse fail. Defines the function’s action if a fuse failure is detected.
 "Idle". The fuse failure does not affect the function.
 "Non Directional". The function acts as non-directional when a fuse failure is detected.
 "Block". The function blocks, i.e., it does not act, when a fuse failure is detected.
 "Enable". The function is enabled when a fuse failure is detected.
❑ Reset type. Allows the emulation of the induction operation. The following options are available:
 "Instantaneous". If the current drops below 95% of the setting value, both the trip and the pickup reset
instantaneously.
 "Timed". If the current drops below 95% of the setting value, the trip drops out instantaneously, while the pickup reset
time will depend on the selected curve (family and index) and the current. If a definite time curve is selected, the
pickup will reset upon the completion of the time programmed for the pickup as of the moment in which it falls below
the pickup current, regardless of the current value.
❑ Operating Quantity. Indicates the measurement used by the function (52 ½ models only allow "Phasor"):
 "Phasor". Uses the fundamental measurement, without including harmonics.
 "RMS". Uses the effective value, including harmonics.

3.3.2 Directional characteristics

The overcurrent units have a setting (torque control) for selecting the unit’s directionality:
❑ No: the unit acts as non-directional.

❑ Forward: the unit acts as directional in a forward direction.
❑ Reverse: the unit acts as directional in a reverse direction.
There are logical trip direction inversion inputs that allow the different units' trip direction to be inverted.
There are logical “function X directional inhibition” inputs that allow the directional units to which they are applied to be converted
into non-directional. These inputs allow for a unit's conversion into non-directional in the case of a fuse failure, for example.
The negative sequence unit can be used in phases and in neutral.
3.3.2.1 Phase directional

The operation can be selected among: quadrature, quadrature 2 out of 3, positive sequence (S1) and positive + negative
sequences (S1+S2). The S2 directional has its own settings.
This function’s general settings and those applied in the quadrature, quadrature 2 out of 3 and positive sequence criteria are in
the PROT/RDIR1 node:
❑ Directional method. Indicates the directional criterion used.

User Manual 87
 “Quadrature”. Analyses each phase independently.

 “Quad. 2 out of 3”. Analyses each phase independently. However, in order to grant permission it must see the

 “Positive sequence”. Analyses the positive sequence.
 “S2 and S1 sequence”. Analyses the negative and positive sequences. The positive sequence is analysed only when the
negative sequence indicates polarization failure.
❑ Torque angle (º). Indicates the directional angle. Applies to quadrature, quadrature 2 out of 3 and positive sequence.
❑ Minimum V polarization (V). Indicates the minimum voltage for polarization; the direction cannot be reliably determined
below this value.
❑ Zone amplitude (º). Indicates the angle covered by the trip zone.
❑ Permission with low Vpol. Indicates the functioning of the directional when the polarization voltage is below the threshold.
If set to “YES”, it enables an overcurrent trip if the memorized polarization voltage is lower than the minimum polarization
voltage; if set to “NO”, the overcurrent trip is not allowed under those conditions.
❑ 67 directional Inversion. Selects the signal which, when active, inverts the trip direction.
❑ Phase directional blocking. Selects the signal which, when active, blocks the function. When the directional is blocked, it is

3.3.2.1.1 Quadrature
For the detection of directionality in phases, the polarization voltage corresponds to the quadrature connection (90º), in
which each phase’s current is compared with the phase to phase voltage between the other two phases (See Figure 59).
π
Phase Ia: Spol = Vbc Sop = Ia ∙ e−j∙(90º−MTA_FASES)∙180
π
Phase Ib: Spol = Vca Sop = Ib ∙ e−j∙(90º−MTA_FASES)∙180
π
Phase Ic: Spol = Vab Sop = Ic ∙ e−j∙(90º−MTA_FASES)∙180
Where, MTA_FASES is the setting "Torque angle (º)"
Signals forward when
Amplitude º
|angle(Spol) − angle(Sop)| < ( )
2
Where, Amplitude is the setting "Zone amplitude (º)"
The “Quad. 2 out of 3” means that the unit only signals forward if this direction is seen in 2 phases. Avoids cases in which,
with a reverse fault, certain of the phases detect a forward fault (e.g., weak infeed). In the case of weak infeed due to the
opening of a transformer, there is only zero sequence current and therefore the three phases detect the same current. In
this case, one of the 3 phases will detect the fault in the opposite direction to the other two.
It operates as three single phase units in which polarization voltages are the phase to phase voltages of the healthy phases.
In the case of an ABC phase sequence, polarization is effected with Vab, Vbc and Vac, for Ic, Ia and Ib. In the case of a CBA
phase sequence, polarization is effected with Vba, Vcb and Vac, for Ic, Ia and Ib.
This unit’s signals are independent for each of the phases (See Table 31).
Memory
The polarization voltage is the voltage of the previous 3 cycles. If the voltage falls below the setting "Minimum V
polarization (V)", the value memorized in accordance with the memory management explained in the polarization memory
monitoring is used (See 3.3.3). It is also affected by the series compensation logic in so far that if it is set to “YES” the
memorized voltage is used as of the moment in which a fault or a voltage inversion is detected.
Trip permission with low polarization voltage
When the polarization voltage is below the setting "Minimum V polarization (V)" or the operating current is below the
minimum polarization current “Polarization Failure X” is indicated. In this situation, if the trip permission without
polarization V is set to “YES”, the trip is permitted; while if set to “NO”, it is blocked.

User Manual 89

This unit’s signals are the same as those of the quadrature, with the difference that the three phases are always given
simultaneously (See Table 31).
Memory
The polarization voltage is the positive sequence voltage of the previous 3 cycles. If it falls below the setting "Minimum V1
(V)", the value memorized in accordance with the memory management explained in the polarization memory monitoring
is used (See 3.3.3). It is also affected by the series compensation logic in so far that if it is set to “YES” the memorized
voltage is used as of the moment in which a fault or a voltage inversion is detected.
Trip permission with low Vpol
When the V1 polarization voltage is below the setting “Minimum V polarization (V)” or the operating current is below the
minimum polarization current “Polarization Failure X” is indicated.
The directional block is used when the operating current is below the minimum polarization current.
If V1 is below the setting “Minimum V polarization (V)” but the operating current is above the minimum polarization
current, if the trip permission without polarization V is set to “YES”, the trip is permitted; while if set to “NO”, it is blocked.

3.3.2.1.3 Negative and positive sequence

Both methods are used to determine the direction, first by analysing the negative sequence:
❑ If the negative sequence indicates the direction, the positive sequence is not consulted.
❑ If the negative sequence indicates a polarization failure, the positive sequence is consulted.
3.3.2.2 Negative sequence

It is used both in phase and neutral directional.
The direction is determined by the comparison between the negative sequence voltage and current, with 3V2 greater than the
threshold "Minimum V polarization (V)" and I2 greater than the thresholds "Minimum I2 / I1 Ph (%)" and "Minimum 3I2 / Irated
(%)" (See Figure 61).
In the case of lines with series compensation, a Z2offset setting, which modifies the polarization voltage, is included.

User Manual 91
 S2pol depends on the relation between S2pol and the setting "Minimum V polarization (V)". If the S2pol calculated
with Z2Offset is greater than "Minimum V polarization (V)", the calculated S2pol is used. On the other hand, if "-3·V2"
is greater than "Minimum V polarization (V)", S2pol = -3·V2 is used.
When the S2pol polarization voltage is below the setting "Minimum V polarization (V)" or the negative sequence current (I2) is
below any of the thresholds "Minimum I2 / I1 Ph (%)" or "Minimum 3I2 / Irated (%)", “Polarization Failure S2” is indicated.
The directional block is used when the negative sequence current (I2) is below any of the thresholds "Minimum I2 / I1 (%)" or
"Minimum I2 / Irated (%)".
If S2pol is below the setting "Minimum V polarization (V)" and I2 is greater than the thresholds "Minimum I2 / I1 Ph (%)" and
"Minimum 3I2 / Irated (%)", if the trip permission without polarization V is set to “YES”, the trip is permitted; while if set to
“NO”, it is blocked.
For the phase overcurrent units, the negative sequence directional uses the "Permission with low Vpol" setting which is on the
node PROT/RDIR1 (Phase directional).
For the neutral overcurrent units, the negative sequence directional uses the "Permission with low Vpol" setting which is on the
node PROT/GRDIR1 (Ground directional).
For the unbalanced overcurrent units, the negative sequence directional uses the "Permission with low Vpol 67Q" setting which
is on the node PROT/S2RDIR1(Negative sequence directional).
This function’s general settings and those applied in the quadrature and positive sequence criteria are in the PROT/S2RDIR1
node:

❑ Offset Z2 (Ohm). Offset impedance for the negative sequence directional unit. In multifunction, it must be set to 0.
❑ Minimum I2 / I1 Ph (%).Indicates the minimum value of I2 in relation to the percentage of I1.
❑ Minimum 3I2 / Irated (%). Percentage of rated I. Indicates the minimum value of I2 in relation to rated I.
❑ Blocking Input. Selects the signal which, when active, blocks the function. When the directional is blocked, it is issues
permission for the trip.
❑ S2 Directional inversion. Selects the signal which, when active, inverts the trip direction.
❑ Permission with low Vpol 67Q4. Indicates the functioning of the directional when the polarization voltage is below the set
threshold. If set to “YES”, it enables an unbalance overcurrent trip if the polarization voltage is lower than the "Minimum V
polarization (V)" setting; if set to “NO”, the unbalance overcurrent trip is not allowed under those conditions.

Both units (Ipol and V) are analysed. If both give the same result, a forward or reverse indication is made. It the result is
different, there is no permission.
If any of them does not determine the direction, a “Polarization Failure In” message is indicated and a decision is taken in
accordance with the “Permission with low Vpol” setting.
This combination is applicable to autotransformer when there is a malfunction of Ipol.
I or V
Both units (Ipol and V) are analysed. If any of them indicates forward or reverse, the corresponding signal is activated. If
one indicates forward and the other reverse, both directions are activated.

S0pol is -3·V0
If Z0offset is used:
❑ With series compensation:

 S0pol is calculated with Z0Offset
❑ Without series compensation:
 S0pol depends on the relation between S0pol and the setting "Minimum V polarization". If the S0pol calculated
with Z0Offset is greater than "Minimum V polarization (V)", the calculated S0pol is used. On the other hand, if "-
3·V0" is greater than "Minimum V polarization (V)", S0pol = "-3·V0 is used.

When the S0pol polarization voltage is below the setting "Minimum V polarization (V)" or the neutral current is below to any of
the thresholds "Minimum 3I0 / Irated (%)" and "Minimum 3I0 / I1 (%)", “Polarization Failure In” is indicated.
The directional block is used when the neutral current is below to any of the thresholds "Minimum 3I0 / Irated (%)" and
"Minimum 3I0 / I1 (%)".
If S0pol is below the setting "Minimum V polarization (V)" and the operation current is greater than the thresholds "Minimum
3I0 / Irated (%)" and "Minimum 3I0 / I1 (%)", if the trip permission without polarization V is set to “YES”, the trip is permitted;
while if set to “NO”, it is blocked.

3.3.3 Polarization memory monitoring

It is used in the polarization of the phase directional (positive sequence and quadrature) and in the distance units (mho
characteristics).
Allows the memorized voltage to be used during the configured time when the current voltage is not apt.
This unit’s operating scheme for the distance unit is:
❑ If V1> Minimum V1 is met during at least 4 cycles, the memorized voltage is captured once again.
❑ V1mem is then update to the V1 value registered 3 cycles previously. Thus, in the moment in which the conditions for
using it are met, the value registered 3 cycles previously will be taken.
❑ V1mem is captured in the moment the voltage is above the setting Minimum V1 and is used during the time set in "V1
maintenance time".
❑ If the breaker is open (open pole logic) with the V1 above the setting "Minimum V1", the voltage V1 without memory is
used.
❑ If the series compensation logic is enabled, node PROT.PSEC1, the memorized voltage is used when the fault detection is
activated.

it are met, the value registered 3 cycles previously will be taken.
❑ The 67-50/51 units are normally polarized without memory. The memorized voltage is used in the moment in which the
actual Vx voltage drops below Minimum Vx. The memory time is indicated in the maintenance time setting.
❑ If the series compensation is enabled, node PROT.PSEC1, the memorized voltage is used when the fault detection is
activated.
❑ The logic input "Force Vx with memory" forces the use of memorized voltage in the positive sequence polarization.
❑ The logic input "Force Vx without memory" forces the use of non-memorized voltage in the positive sequence polarization.

3.3.9 2nd harmonic restraint

It permits the instantaneous and timed phase, neutral and unbalanced overcurrent units to be blocked (51, 50, 51N, 50N and 67Q).
Restraint by phase or for all the phases is available for the 50/51 units. The units to be blocked are selected by settings.

User Manual 111
To activate the restraint, the following must be met simultaneously:
❑ The fundamental current must exceed the minimum inrush value.

❑ The relationship between the 2nd harmonic value and the fundamental must exceed a set threshold.
❑ The 2nd harmonic current must exceed 1% of In (50mA with In=5A and 10ma with In=1A).
To deactivate the restraint, the following must be met:
❑ The current must be less than 95% of the minimum current threshold, or
❑ The current must be below 95% of the restraint percentage threshold.
The restraint is calculated independently for each phase and neutral.
The phase units’ restraint can act per phase (the restraint in any one phase only blocks the phase in question) or it can be general
(the restraint in any one phase blocks all the phases).
For the unbalanced unit restraint, it is sufficient that the conditions are given in a phase or in the neutral.
The units’ restraint settings are:
❑ Enabled. Indicates whether the function is enabled or not. The options available are:
 YES. It is enabled.
 NO. It is disabled.
 Only in close. It is enabled for a second after closing.

3.3.11 Thermal image

There are independent units for phase and neutral.
This function calculates a thermal capacity in accordance with the protected unit’s recent and current load conditions. The thermal
capacity is displayed as a % of the trip value. If the function is enabled, a warning signal is activated when the programmed value is
reached. When 100% is reached, the thermal image trip signal is activated. Once tripped as a result, it does not drop-out while the
calculated thermal capacity remains above the reset threshold setting and the rest of the locking conditions are fulfilled. The
calculated thermal capacity can be reset by logic input or by command.
The time which elapses before the trip is determined by the following curves, which establish the time in accordance with the ratio
between the current and the programmed rated current, and the programmed heating constant. According to the following
formula (starting from thermal capacity 0):

The cooling curve is calculated using the following formula:
In which:

3.3.13 Stub bus

Stub bus protection is an instantaneous overcurrent unit, but it order for it to be activated, the switch needs to be open. This
function is useful in breaker and a half configurations. It can be used as a fixed time overcurrent unit with its own settings or any of
the units available can be used with a logic which ensures that they are continuously blocked until the line switch is opened.
The settings used are as follows:

❑ Phase threshold (A): It is set as secondary amperes. It indicates the phase current value for which the function is activated.
❑ Phase Delay Time (ms): Indicates the time during which the conditions for tripping the phase function must be met.
❑ Neutral threshold (A): It is set as secondary amperes. It indicates the neutral current value for which the function is
activated.
❑ Neutral Delay Time (ms): Indicates the time during which the conditions for tripping must be met.

In the 52 ½ configuration, a differential stub bus protection is available, but in order for it to be activated, the disconnector
needs to be open.
With the function enabled by setting, it is only active when the 3 phases of the disconnector are open
With the disconnector open at one end, the protection is affected:
❑ The phase measurements of the local end are zero; therefore, the measures sent to the remote end are zero.
❑ The line differential of the end with the disconnector open does not trip
❑ It doesn´t allow direct trip commands from the other end.

3.4 VOLTAGE UNITS
3.4.1 General description

When enabled and unblocked, the overvoltage units act when the setting value is exceed during the programmed time. In order to
reset, the voltage must fall below the pickup value return percentage. For example, if the pickup threshold is 50V and the reset
percentage is 10%, the unit must register voltage above 50V in order to pickup and voltage below 45V in order to reset (50-0.1 50).
When enabled and unblocked, the undervoltage units act when the voltage is inferior to the setting value during the programmed
time. In order to reset, the voltage must exceed the pickup value return percentage. For example, if the pickup threshold is 50V and
the reset percentage is 10%, the unit must register voltage below 50V in order to pickup and voltage above 55V in order to reset
(50+0.1 50).
The voltage units are not directional.
The voltage unit’s general settings are available in the PROT/PVGE1 node (return percentages and VO measurement type):
❑ Phase overV drop out (%). Indicates the pickup setting percentage below which the voltage must fall in order that the
instantaneous and timed phased units reset.
❑ Phase underV drop out (%). Indicates the pickup setting percentage above which the voltage must rise in order that the
instantaneous and timed phased units reset.
❑ 3V2 drop out (%). Indicates the pickup setting percentage below which the voltage must fall in order that the
instantaneous and timed V2 units reset.
❑ 3VO drop out (%). Indicates the pickup setting percentage below which the voltage must fall in order that the
instantaneous and timed VO units reset.
❑ 3VO Operating quantity. Indicates the measurement used for the VO overvoltage:
 Calculated: The 3 V0 measurement is used, i.e., the vector sum of the 3 ground to earth phases. 3V0=Va+Vb+Vc

3.5 FREQUENCY UNITS
The frequency is measured each cycle and refreshed each half cycle, as shown in Figure 79.
Figure 79 Frequency Calculation
The voltage used in the frequency measurement is calculated as "2·Va-Vb-Vc". The algorithm is executed in the event of the voltage
registering zero. The frequency is calculated if the voltage measurement is greater than 2.5V.
Both the positive and negative registers are measured, although the frequency measurement is carried out for complete cycles.
3.5.1 Frequency
This function is composed of 8 steps, which are programmable as maximum or minimum frequencies.
The function’s node, PROT/PTGF1, has independent settings for each step and common settings for all.
The common settings for all steps are as follows:
❑ Minimum voltage (V). Indicates the minimum voltage value below which the frequency protection does no act, the unit is
not permitted to pickup.
❑ Number of cycles (Start). Indicates the number of cycles during which the frequency conditions necessary for the unit to
pickup must be met.
❑ Number of cycles (Reset). Indicates the number of cycles during which the drop conditions necessary for the unit to reset
must be met in the event of the unit's not having tripped.
❑ OverFreq. Reset time (ms). Once tripped by overfrequency, this is the time during which the reset conditions must be met
in order to clear the trip from the unit. It is applied to all the steps configured as overfrequency.

❑ Start value (Hz). Indicates the frequency value at which the function is activated.
❑ Function type. Indicates whether its acts on overfrequency or underfrequency.
❑ Blocking Input. Selects the signal which, when active, blocks the step.
The form in which it acts varies in accordance with type of step selected.
❑ Minimum frequency. Each step picks up when the frequency falls below the set value during a number of cycles equal or
higher than the “No. of pickup cycles” setting. Once it picks up, the programmed time must elapse in order for a trip to be
produced. If the unit has tripped, it drops out if the frequency is correct during the underfrequency reset time. If it has
picked up but has not tripped, it drops out if the frequency is correct during reset cycles.
❑ Maximum frequency. Each step picks up when the frequency exceeds the set value during a number of cycles equal or
higher than the “No. of pickup cycles” setting. Once it picks up, the programmed time must elapse in order for a trip to be
produced. If the unit has tripped, it drops out if the frequency is correct during the overfrequency reset time. If it has

3.5.2 Frequency rate of change

This unit has 8 steps. In each step, a relay is activated if the frequency variation per time unit is higher than the set value. The

General operation.
The function is only effective for frequencies inferior to a threshold called “maximum monitoring frequency”, currents greater than
the threshold called “minimum current” and voltages greater than the minimum monitoring threshold:
❑ Minimum monitoring current. The maximum phase current is compared to this setting. If the minimum current circulating
in all the phases is inferior to the setting, the frequency rate of change unit is not allowed to pickup. When a current is
greater than the set threshold appears in at least one of the phases, the relay waits for 10 cycles before running the
frequency rate of change function.
❑ Minimum monitoring voltage. If the phase B voltage is inferior to the setting, the frequency rate of change unit is not
allowed to pickup. When the voltage exceeds the set threshold, the relay waits for 10 cycles before running the frequency
rate of change function.
The frequency is measured each cycle and reloaded every half cycle, as shown in Figure 79.
The algorithm stores the periods of the signal’s last 4 cycles and calculates the frequency rate of change by comparing the current
cycle’s frequency measurement with the measurement taken from 4 cycles previously, taking into account the time lapse between
both (Figure 80).

User Manual 139
df/dt = (f1 − f5)/(T1 + T2 + T3 + T4)
In which:
f5 =frequency measurement taken 4 cycles previously
f4 =frequency measurement taken 3 cycles previously T4 period of the 4th cycle starting from the end
f3 =frequency measurement taken 2 cycles previously T3 period of the 3rd cycle starting from the end
f2 =frequency measurement taken 1 cycle previously T2 period of the 2nd cycle starting from the end
f1 =Last frequency measurement T1 period of the last cycle
This calculation is repeated, taking into account the measurements separated by two cycles in order to ensure that the frequency
has fallen during the entire period, i.e., to ensure that an incorrect measurement does not lead to a trip. Two checks are carried
out:
❑ the measurement of the current cycle against that of the cycle minus two cycles
df/dt2 = (fn − fn − 4)/(tn − tn − 4)
❑ the measurement of the cycle minus two cycles against that of the cycle minus four cycles
df/dt3 = (fn − 4 − fn − 8)/(tn − 4 − tn − 8)
Figure 80 Frequency rate of change calculation
For the unit to pickup, the frequency rate of change must be exceeded by an absolute value during the set number of cycles. The
pickup is only produced if the frequency rate of change/voltage rate of change value meets the criterion selected in the setting
“Operation type”:
❑ Negative. The frequency rate of change/voltage rate is negative, i.e., when the current frequency is inferior to that
measured 4 cycles previously.
❑ Positive. The frequency rate of change/voltage rate is positive, i.e., when the current frequency is greater than that
measured 4 cycles previously.
❑ Negative and Positive. Acts on frequency rate of change/voltage rate in both directions.
During the pickup process, one measurement is allowed to be out of the pickup range without restarting the process. For example,
if 3 cycles are required to cause a pickup, the threshold need only be exceeded 3 times from a total of 4 consecutive
measurements.
In order for a trip to occur once the unit has picked up, the frequency rate of change measurement must remain between the set
frequency rate of change/voltage rate of change value and a reset value to the frequency rate of change/voltage rate of change
minus 0.05Hz/s during the set time.
In order for the unit to reset once it has picked up, the frequency rate of change/voltage rate of change measurement must be
detected as being 0.05Hz/s below the set value during the number of cycles programmes as reset cycles.
In order for the unit to reset once it has tripped, the frequency rate of change/voltage rate of change measurement must be
detected as being 0.05Hz/s below the set value during the reset time. Any sealing signals that have been configured must register a
value of zero in order for the trip to be deactivated.

3.6.2 Minimum real power

This unit’s node is PROT/PDUP1.
It provides protection against excessive decreases in the generated power. It compares the real power with the minimum power
given by the setting. In the event of the generated power being inferior to the power established in the setting during the
programmed time, the protection trips the corresponding relay. Any reverse power will be considered as below the minimum
power threshold and will thus activate the function.
In order to reset, the power must exceed the pickup threshold plus the reset percentage. For example, if the reset percentage is set
at 2%, the unit will reset if the power exceeds the 102% of the pickup threshold.
The settings, commands and outputs available are indicated in section 3.6.1.

3.8 FUSE FAILURE
The measurement obtained from the half-cycle DFT is used to obtain results before the protection units are activated.
The fuse failure conditions are as follows:
❑ The three breakers are closed. (Open pole detector). Signals "Open pole (1 or 2)" and "3 open poles" of the scheme. If the open
pole detector is disabled, the three poles are considered closed.
❑ I1 positive sequence current is greater than 5% of the rated current. 7
❑ The increase in I1 positive sequence and the IN neutral current in relation to the current measured 1 cycle previously must be less
than 0.1A for 5A rated current or 0.02A for rated current 1A.
❑ The fault detection unit must be deactivated (Fault detection signal of the scheme).
❑ Distance units (mho or quadrilateral) and/or overcurrent units (phase, ground, earth system and unbalanced) have not picked up.
❑ The angle difference between currents I1 and I0 and those of 1 cycle previous are less than 5º.
❑ The V1 positive sequence voltage, memorized 1 cycle previously, must exceed VFF and drop below 95% of VFF,
VFF = VN · 80% (V)
With VN as the rated phase to ground voltage (PROT/TVTR node).
If the function detects all the above conditions, or if the “Fuse Failure input” is activated, a fuse failure pickup signal is produced and
used to block the units in question (configurable).
These conditions must be met during a programmable time in order for the fuse failure trip to be activated. Once tripped, the fuse fault
is maintained until the V1 voltage rises above VFF.
If any of the overcurrent functions (phase, ground, earth system and unbalanced) or distance units have picked up or if during the
timeout the relay picks up at least one of these units, the fuse failure output is not activated as the situation is considered a fault, not a
fuse failure.

From firmware version 5.19.15.7 and ICD version 6.3.1.4 can be set. In previous versions, it was fixed 5%.

User Manual 146
The fuse failure pickup and trip are also activated when the digital “Fuse Fail input” is activated independently of the programmed
time. The fuse failure is only deactivated when the input is deactivated.
If the “Fuse Fail input” input is activated, the synchrocheck unit is deactivated.
The fuse failure pickup can be used as a blocking signal for other functions by means of each function’s logic signals.
The overcurrent units have settings that configure their functioning in the event of a fuse failure, allowing the enabling of the function,
the inhibition of directional, etc.

3.9 POWER SWING
This unit determines the function conditions according to which distance function trips is disabled for single-phase and/or phase-phase
units and for each zone, depending on the settings.
Differentiation is made between stable and unstable power swing.
❑ Stable swing: when distance functions can be blocked by generating the "Power Swing Blocked" signal.
❑ Unstable swing: when some system elements can be tripping to prevent the disturbance extending. To do this, this
function generates the "OST- Out of Step Tripping" signal.
To determine swinging conditions, the complete positive sequence impedance is used (for 3 closed poles) or the minimum impedance
of phase (A, B, C) or phase combination (AB, BC or CA) of the closed poles (if there is 1 open pole). By calculating the position of this
impedance in the R/X diagram, it is possible to measure how and at what speed it is moving. To do this, on the one hand, some zones
are defined in the diagram, and on the other some transfer times from one zone to another are defined. These zones and times are
parameterised by settings.
Figure 84 shows the power swinging characteristic diagram.

User Manual 148
Figure 84 Power Swing Characteristic
Figure 86 shows this unit's logic diagram. On the one hand, it shows the "PSB" signal's activation conditions and on the other, the "OST"
signal's activation conditions.
"Power Swing Blocking" (PSB) is activated when any of the following conditions is fulfilled:
❑ The positive sequence impedance takes a time longer than the "Blocking Time (ms)" (setting) to pass from the outside
zone to the middle zone and the unblocking signal is not activated (See Figure 84).
❑ The positive sequence impedance goes into the middle zone and the time between going from the outside zone to the
middle zone is longer than the "Trip Time (ms)" (setting) and shorter than the "Blocking Time (ms)" (setting) and the
unblocking signal is not activated. In this case the trip must be enabled and not blocked (See Figure 84).
If the 3 poles are closed, blocking only affect the phase-phase units. With 1 pole open, blocking affects all single- and phase-phase
units. The breaker status is determined by digital inputs.
Once activated, the "PSB" signal is maintained for 2 seconds as long as no unblocking conditions are fulfilled and that it is inside the
outer zone. If the "Memory Enabled" setting is "YES", blocking will last 1 second once outside the outer zone. If it is "NO", there is no
blocking once outside the outer zone.
Each of the zones, for both the Mho and Quadrilateral characteristics can be blocked or unblocked by this function depending on the
setting selection: "Zone 1 Blocking"…"Zone 5 Blocking".
It is also possible to block the teleprotection using the setting "Teleprotection Blocking" so that TPR reception and TPT transmission is
ignored.
The activation of "Trip by Power Swing" (OST) is determined depending on the "Trip Enabled" setting. If this setting is "NO", the trip is
never activated.
If the setting is IN_ZMED, the conditions for activation are as follows:
❑ The positive sequence impedance goes into the middle zone and the time between going from the outside zone to the
middle zone is longer than the "Trip Time (ms)" (setting) and shorter than the "Blocking Time (ms)" (setting).See Figure 84.
❑ The unblocking signal is not activated.
If the setting is OUT_ZMED, the conditions for activation are as follows:
❑ If the case is as above (the positive sequence impedance enters the middle zone and the time it takes to go from the outer
zone to the middle zone is greater than "Trip Time (ms)" and less than "Blocking Time (ms)", the impedance leaves the
middle zone through the opposite side to where it entered. See Figure 84.
❑ When the previous condition is fulfilled, if the time set in "Trip delay" is grather than zero, the activation is when the set
time has elapsed since the impedance has left all the zones and has not re-entered in any of they. If the set time is zero,
the previous condition is enough.
❑ The unblocking signal is not activated.
The unblocking signal is activated if any of the following conditions is fulfilled:
❑ The positive sequence threshold is less than "I1 Minimum threshold (A)" (setting).

User Manual 149
❑ There is more than one pole open.

❑ The fuse fault function is active.
❑ The impedance stays in the internal zone for a time longer than the one indicated in the "Internal Zone unblock T (ms)".
❑ If there are 3 poles closed and the following conditions are fulfilled during "After fault Reset time (ms)" (setting):
 The phase selector detects a two- or single-phase fault using the negative sequence percentage (I2>0.05xIrated
& I2/I1>10%).
 The negative sequence current exceeds "I2 Threshold (A)" (setting).
The unit’s settings are as follows:

❑ Memory Enabled. Indicates whether or not the swing blocking signal will be maintained for 1 second, after leaving the
outer zone.
❑ Zone X Blocking. Enables or disables blocking each zone of the unit.
❑ Teleprotection Blocking. Enables or disables teleprotection blocking.
❑ Middle zone Right R. Resistive limit of the middle zone for R>=0 (See Figure 84).
❑ Middle zone Left R. Resistive limit of the middle zone for R>=0 (See Figure 84).
❑ Middle zone Top Z. Limit impedance of the middle zone for X>=0 (See Figure 84).
❑ Middle zone Bottom Z. Limit impedance of the middle zone for X<0 (See Figure 84).
❑ Internal zone Right R. Resistive limit of the inner zone for R>=0 (See Figure 84).
❑ Internal zone Left R. Resistive limit of the inner zone for R<0 (See Figure 84).
❑ I1 Minimum threshold (A).This is the minimum I1 required to activate the swing function.
❑ Slope angle. Indicates the slope angle of the resistive limits (See Figure 84).
❑ Power swing detection zone (8Distance between zones). Indicates the width of the outer zone (See Figure 84).
❑ Blocking time (ms). Time for going between the outer zone and middle zone for activating blocking.
❑ Trip Enabled. Indicates the way of determining whether there is a trip condition.
❑ Trip Time (ms). Time for going between the outer zone and middle zone for activating the trip.
❑ Internal Zone unblock T (ms). Minimum time in milliseconds for which the impedance must remain in the "inner zone" to
unblock operating in all zones.
❑ I2 threshold (A). With 3 poles closed, if I2 exceeds this threshold and the fault selector is activated, unblocking occurs.
❑ After fault Reset time (ms). This is the time that elapses before disabling swing blocking as soon as a phase-phase or single-
phase fault is detected (based on the I2 threshold in the phase selector).
❑ Trip delay. It is only used, when the power swing trip is enabled with the option “OUT_ZMED”. If it is greater than zero,
once the OUT_ZMED condition is fulfilled, the trip is delayed this time since the impedance has left all the zones and has
not re-entered any of them.
❑ Trip Blocking input. Selects the signal which, when active, blocks the trip by swinging.

3.10 SWITCH ONTO FAULT
This unit provides an instantaneous three-phase trip when a fault occurs upon the generation of a breaker closure command (manual
or by input).
The function is enabled during a programmable time ("Activation time (ms)") in the following situations:
❑ Upon the closure of the 3-poles, or

❑ Following the closure command.
Depending on the “Operation type” setting, the action of the switch onto fault is produced when:
 Programmed as “V and I" or "(V and I) or Z2”: The phase voltage is below a threshold (set in the open pole detector) and the
phase current is above a threshold for ½ cycle.

User Manual 153
 Programmed as “Z2” or “(V and I) or Z2”: The zone 2 of the distance units (mho or quadrilateral) is started.
 Programmed as "programmable pick up I": The Programmable SOTF Pick up input is activated.
During the "Activation time (ms)" that the function is enabled, an offset of 0.1 ohms is applied to the mho characteristic in zone 2. On
the other hand, the X reach is set to 0.05 ohms, contrary to the programmed direction, in the quadrilateral characteristic in zone 2.
Therefore, the three - phase faults are protected in the origin. Also, the directional supervision is not used and both directions are
allowed.
Depending on the configuration set the switch onto fault can be active with any closing. 9

PROTECTION FUNCTIONS 
3.11 BREAKER FAILURE
If a fault is detected, it is important to act quickly and for the switch to work correctly. However, it may be that an error occurs and it is
not able to interrupt the fault current.
The breaker failure function checks that there is no current via the switch, for a given time after the trip situation. If it is detected that
the current continues to be above a value established by the setting, a signal is activated so that secondary switches can act.
3.11.1 Single pole breaker Failure

The protection device has a complete breaker fault functional feature, with single-pole or three-pole functioning.
If the unit is enabled, it functions as follows (see Figure 88 y Figure 89):
❑ If the equipment indicates a trip signal or an external protection signal is received via a logic input, depending on the
value of the "Start type" setting, it will heed to one or the other to start up a timer.
❑ If the trip situation disappears or the function is tripping or starting externally, to verify this, the "Time signal relapse
(ms)" must elapse.
❑ If, following the period programmed as “Retrip time delay (ms)”, the current of one of the phases exceeds the
programmed "Phase current threshold (A)", the retrip signal is activated.
❑ If the "52 Supervision" setting is "YES", if, following the period programmed as “Retrip time delay (ms)” one of the poles
remains closed, after that time, the retrigger signal and the retrigger signal of that pole are activated.
❑ If, following the period programmed as “Trip time delay (ms)”, the current of one of the phases exceeds the programmed
"Phase current threshold (A)", the trip signal is activated.
❑ Regardless of the “Trip time delay (ms)”, if a blocked switch logic input is activated, the trip signal is activated.
❑ If the "Sealed by current" setting is "YES", the signals are only deactivated when the phase and neutral currents fall below
their drop out values.

3.11.2 Breaker failure with low load

It detects breaker failure in three pole trips with low load.
The unit starts when the breaker status or overcurrent and start signal conditions are fulfilled:
❑ 52 status or overcurrent:
 If the "52 Supervision" set to "YES" and any pole is closed. The breaker status is determined with the 52 status digital
inputs.
 When enabled “Enable with Ground current”, the neutral current (3I0 for 52 ½ configuration) is greater than the
setting “Gnd current threshold (A)”.
❑ Start signal:
 Pole x BF start or 3 pole BF start signal lis received.
 If “2 pole trip allowed” is enabled, BF start signal of at least two phases is received.
The setting “Supervision Initial” 13 selects the start mode:
❑ YES. The unit starts when the breaker status or overcurrent conditions are fulfilled and the start signal is activated.
❑ NO. The unit starts when the start signal is activated.
The trip is generated when the “Trip time delay (ms)” finishes and none of the start conditions has been deactivated.
The retrip is generated when the “Retrip time delay (ms)” finishes and none of the start conditions has been deactivated.
If the "Supervision by current" setting is "YES", the retrip and trip signals are only activated when the neutral current is above the
“Gnd current threshold (A)” setting.
If the trip situation disappears or the function is tripping or starting externally, to verify this, the "Time signal relapse (ms)" must
elapse
If the "Sealed by current" setting is "YES", the signals are only deactivated when the neutral current falls below their drop out
values.
In 52 ½ configurations, the function is independent for every breaker, using 3I0 because the neutral measurement is not available.

3.12 TRIP LOGICS
3.12.1 67NQ Teleprotection Schemes

High voltage line protection requires protection systems which are especially fast, selective and reliable with the aim of not
jeopardising the stability of the electrical system. To fulfil these requirements, it is necessary to use teleprotection systems
associated to the protection equipment installed in each end of the line. The protection device is equipped with a teleprotection
system for completely protecting the line with high-speed protection.
They are based upon the use of teleprotection signals between both end terminals of the line. The effect upon the output relays’
operation is determined according to the signals given by the protection along with the signals given by the other terminal.
From firmware version 6.0.8.0 and ICD version 8.1.0.4, there is a new setting: "TPTx Delay time (ms)".
From firmware version 6.0.8.0 and ICD version 8.1.0.4, in the 67NQ teleprotection schemes, single pole trips are allowed. The
“Single Pole Trip 67NQ” setting must be set to “YES” in the node PROT/ZPMPT (see chapter "Single pole Trip") and the phase
selector must indicate single phase to ground fault (see chapter "Phase selector").
The signals used in the schemes are:
❑ TPTx: teleprotection signal sent by a terminal.

❑ TPRIx: teleprotection signal received by a terminal.
❑ GSL: security channel loss signal (unblocking scheme).
❑ GSLRx: security channel loss signal received (unblocking scheme).
Figure 91 Basic Teleprotection Diagram
3.12.1.1 Introduction
3.12.1.1.1 Fault Detection Units
Teleprotection 67NQ scheme will operate on the instantaneous directional unit No. 1 (forward), 2 (forward) and 3 (backwards).
❑ Zone 1 (forward): Unit 1 with instantaneous, unbalanced and neutral overcurrent (UNPIOC1 and GPIOC1).
❑ Zone 2 (forward): Unit 2 with instantaneous, unbalanced and neutral overcurrent (UNPIOC2 and GPIOC2).
❑ Zone 4 (backwards): Unit 3 with instantaneous, unbalanced and neutral overcurrent (UNPIOC3 and GPIOC3).
Therefore, unit 1 can be assimilated to distance zone 1, unit 2 to zone 2, and unit 3 to zone 4. Unit 3 must be programmed
backwards.
3.12.1.1.2 Scheme Type

The schemes respond to two basic types:
❑ Blocking schemes: The signal received indicates that the fault is outside the protected zone. A relay can trip on an
overreaching zone if, after a definite time, the blocking signal has not been received.

User Manual 165
❑ Permissive schemes: The signal received allows an instantaneous trip in the overreaching zone. The additional ECHO,
weak infeed and Current Reversal Blocking schemes can be used.
When selecting a particular scheme, it is useful to bear in mind the following characteristics for each of them: In the case of an
internal fault in the protected line and a communication channel fault in permissive schemes, protection is disabled for tripping,
whilst in blocking schemes, tripping is assured. However, in blocking schemes, if there is an external fault and a communication
channel fault, the device can trip.
If the communication system forms an integral part of the energy transport line, as in the case of carrier waves, it is best to use the
blocking schemes, since internal faults may disturb or attenuate the carrier signal. Likewise, it is best to use blocking schemes in
weak infeed configurations as they are more reliable compared to permissive schemes.
Finally, it should be mentioned that permissive schemes are faster than blocking schemes, given that the latter involve slightly
longer fault clear times, due to the security waiting time for receiving the potential blocking signal.
Several schemes are available:
❑ Step trip (none)

❑ Permissive overreaching (Overreaching POTT)
❑ Permissive underreaching (Underreaching PUTT)
❑ Directional blocking scheme
❑ Directional comparison unblocking scheme
Additionally, the following can be selected together with the schemes:
❑ Direct transfer trip

❑ Echo
❑ Weak infeed
❑ Current Reversal Blocking
3.12.1.1.3 Flexible Units
The signals that activate the sending of the teleprotection between the different overcurrent units can be configured for all the
schemes. Two settings are included - "67NQ Permissive Units" and "67NQ Block Units" which enable both logic inputs to be carried
with the starts of the desired units. In this way, the signals carried to the schemes can be made flexible.
The following logic inputs are configurable using flexible inputs. It is possible to connect any logic input to them:
❑ Faults forward ("67NQ Permissive Units").

❑ Faults backwards ("67NQ Block Units").
Figure 92 Permissive Logic Diagram
Figure 93 Inverse Directional Scheme

User Manual 166
3.12.1.1.4 Input / output signals

The following signals are used in the schemes:
❑ TPTx 67NQ: Teleprotection signal sent by a terminal.

❑ TPRIx_67NQ: Teleprotection input received by a terminal.
❑ TPRx_67NQ: Follows the TPRIx input to become activated, but memorises the input during the set time "TPRx Drop out
time (ms)" (RsRTPTmms) to deactivate itself. If this setting is equal to zero, then TPRx coincides with the input TPRIx. TPRx
is used in the teleprotection schemes.
❑ GSLRx_67NQ: Line security signal loss. Indicates that the data channel established between the two teleprotection
devices is inactive.

3.12.1.2 Permissive underreaching

It causes an instantaneous teleprotection trip upon the reception of the teleprotection signal (TPRIx), together with the pick up
of unit 2, as long as the reverse memorization of unit 3 is not activated (Memory Inverted Current). It is used to accelerate the
trips at one end with the other indicates this.
This scheme is based on the idea that at least one of the protection devices at one end of the line will see the fault in zone 1. If
a terminal sees the fault in zone 1 and the other one sees it in zone 2, the fault can be considered as being inside the line
between both devices, in the section of the line close to the terminal which sees it in zone 1.
The terminal that sees the fault in unit 1, besides setting off an instantaneous trip, sends the trip permission signal (TPTx) to the
other end while unit 1 is activated. The terminal which detects the fault in unit 2 generates an instantaneous trip with the
reception of the teleprotection signal (TPRIx) together with the activation of unit 2 as long as unit 3 is not activated.
Figure 97 Permissive Underreaching Logic Diagram
Figure 97 and Figure 92 show the permissive underreaching protection scheme. This figure is used to analyse how the
protection devices will act in the event of faults in F1, F2 and F3:
Figure 98 Fault examples
❑ Fault F1: Protection A sees the fault in unit 1, causing an instantaneous trip and sending a permission signal to protection
B. Protection B sees the fault in unit 2 and will set off a high-speed trip when it sees the fault in unit 2 and will receive
protection A's permission command.
❑ Fault F2: Both protection devices see the fault in unit 1, causing a high-speed trip. Furthermore, redundant commands
are given by the communication channels.
❑ Fault F3: None of the protection devices will trip instantaneously. Protection A sees the fault in unit 2 but B does not see
the fault in the line to protect, not sending the permission signal to protection A. Hence, A's action in unit 2 will take place
in unit 2 time.
Inverse direction block: signal "Memory Inverted Current" can be eliminated from the logic by disabling this function. In this
case, "Memory Inverted Current" would be set permanently to 0.

User Manual 171
In lines with more than two terminals, to apply this scheme, checks must be made to ensure that in the event on any fault in
any point in the line, at least the protection of one of the ends is detect in zone 1.
The scheme is applied to three-terminal lines by carrying an OR signal to the three of them from the TPRx of the other two ends
(See Figure 96).
3.12.1.3 Permissive overreaching

It produces an instantaneous teleprotection trip upon the reception of the teleprotection signal (TPRx), together with the pick
up of unit 2, as long as the memorized reverse zone is not activated (Memory Inverted Current).
In this protection scheme, a fault is considered internal to the line if both terminals see the fault in unit 2. An instantaneous trip
is caused if the teleprotection signal is received, together with activation of unit 2 as long as the memorised unit 3 is not
activated.
The teleprotection signal is sent upon the activation of the unit 2, without the detection of a reverse fault (Memory Inverted
Current).
Figure 99 Permissive Overreaching Logic Diagram
Figure 99 and Figure 92 show the permissive overreaching protection scheme. This figure is used to analyse how the protection
devices will act in the event of faults in F1, F2 and F3:
❑ Fault F1: Protection A sees the fault in zone 1(PIOC1 or GPIOC1), causing an instantaneous trip and sending a permission
signal to protection B, given that it sees the fault in zone 2 (PIOC2 or GPIOC2) (zone 2 includes zone 1). Protection B trips
instantaneously when it sees the fault in zone 2 and receives a permission order from protection A. Protection B will also
send a permission signal to protection A but it has already instantaneously tripped in zone 1.
❑ Fault F2: Both protection devices see the fault in zone 1, causing a high-speed trip. Furthermore, redundant commands
❑ Fault F3: Protection A sees the fault in zone 2 and sends the permission signal to B, which sees the fault backwards. When
A does not receive the permission signal from B, zone 2's action will take place in zone 2 time. Protection B receives the
permission signal from A, but when it sees the fault backwards, it will not trip.
Any fault in unit 3 (PIOC3 or GPIOC3) it will normally be eliminated in unit 3 time.
3.12.1.4 Directional unblocking

The directional unblocking scheme is used in overreaching schemes. Together with the TPRx signal, the channel loss signal
(GSLRx) is received.
In usual conditions, the signal GSLRx has the same value as the TPRx signal. Thus, if the TPRx signal is activated, GSLRx is also
activated. If both signals are deactivated there is not fault and the guard channel signal is not lost.
If the overreaching unit 2 (PIOC2 or GPIOC2) acts, the security signal works as an unblocking signal.
An instantaneous teleprotection trip will be issued by the zone 2 activation:
❑ If the unblock signals TPRx and GSLRx are received or

❑ When the device only receives the GSLRx signal, the timers start. When the “GSL minimum time (ms)” (LoGMinTmms)
delay is over without the reception of the TPRx signal, a trip is issued. Once the “GSL maximum time (ms)” has elapsed, no

User Manual 172
trip is enabled. Once the loss off channel signal is deactivated again a third timer starts. When the “GSL drop out time
(ms)” delay is over the previous logic is newly applied.

User Manual 173
The figures show the directional unblocking protection scheme. This figure is used to analyse how the protection devices will
act in the event of faults in F1, F2 and F3:
Figure 103 Directional Unblocking Protection
N.B.: The signals received in GSLRx and TPRx directional blocking can only be received with values (active, active), (active,
inactive) or (inactive, inactive). They can never be (inactive, active) because the transmitter/receiver that sends the signals,
when there is communication and receives TPR gives the signals GSR and TPR and when there is no communication, gives GSR
but not TPR.
The GSLRx signal is active in 2 cases:
❑ When the security signal is lost or

❑ When TPRx is received. In this case, it is converted into a non-blocking signal. It behaves in the same way as in the case of
overreaching.
The GSLRx signal is deactivated when there is communication and there is no TPRx.

Analysis is made of how the protection devices will act in the event of faults in F1, F2 and F3:
❑ Fault F1: Protection A sees the fault in zone 1, causing an instantaneous trip and changing the security signal to an
unblocking signal given that it sees the fault in zone 2 (zone 2 includes zone 1). Protection B sees the fault in zone 2 and
when it receives the unblocking signal from A, it will speed up the trip. If the security channel is lost, when protection B's
zone 2 is activated, it will speed up its trip if it receives the channel loss signal for the time programmed for "security
signal loss".
❑ Fault F2: Both protection devices see the fault in zone 1, causing a high-speed trip.
❑ Fault F3: Protection A sees the fault in zone 2 but does not speed up its trip given that protection B sees the fault in zone
4 and therefore will not change the security signal for an unblocking signal.

User Manual 174
3.12.1.5 Directional blocking

The TPTx blocking signal is sent if a backwards fault is detected (Memory Inverted Current).
A stop channel signal (STOP 67NQ) is activated if a forward fault is detected (overcurrent units 1 and 2) and it is maintained
during “Block delay time (ms)” (BlkTmms), without the detection of a fault in the unit 3 Memory Inverted Current).
If the channel interruption signal (STOP 67NQ) is activated and the signal TPRx is not received, the signal "Teleprotection 67NQ
Trip" is activated.
If the input “TPTx Blocking input” is activated the signal TPRx is not sent. Furthermore, if the “TP Trip Block” input is activated,
the signal "Teleprotection 67NQ Trip" is blocked.
Figure 104 Directional Blocking Scheme
The blocking time is an additional delay time to give time for the blocking signal to be received and is programmable by the
user. The transmission time must be as low as possible with the aim of reducing this delay to a minimum.
The Figure 104, Figure 92 and Figure 93 show the directional blocking protection scheme. This figure is used to analyse how the
Figure 105 Directional Blocking Protection
❑ Fault F1: Protection A detects the fault in zone 1 causing an instantaneous trip. Protection B detects the fault in zone 2
and once the blocking time has elapsed, it will trip given that a blocking command is not received from A since A does not
detect the fault in zone 4.
❑ Fault F3: Protection A detects the fault in zone 2 but does not cause a fast trip given that protection B sees the fault in
zone 4 and will therefore send a blocking signal to A.
Care must be taken with the coordination of the blocking unit backwards (for example, B's zone 4) of each end with the
overreaching unit of the other end (A's zone 2), these being set so that the reach of the reverse unit is always greater than the
overreach's.

User Manual 175
Figure 106 Coordinating the Reverse Blocking Unit.
This scheme has the advantage of not being sensitive to noise in the communication channel and has the disadvantage of
possibly causing untimely trips if the communication channel is lost.
The blocking scheme is usually used in long lines when the teleprotection signal is transmitted via the protected line by the
carrier wave and the diminishing of the signal transmitted at the point of fault can be so severe that reception at the other end
of the line cannot always be ensured.
3.12.1.6 ECHO
It is used together with permissive overreaching schemes by acting on the teleprotection (TPTx) signal.
The ECHO 67NQ signal only provides a programmable pulse. The ECHO function sends the teleprotection (TPTx) signal with any
of the following conditions:
❑ The ones corresponding to the permissive overreaching scheme.

❑ If TPRIx is received and no forward or reverse faults are detected.
 programmable for a minimum time (setting " ECHO delay time(ms)"), or
 the breaker is open (in this situation, it does not wait for the programmed time to elapse).
It is used together with permissive overreaching schemes in cases where one end of the line is open (Figure 108 end B) or is a
weak end (Figure 109 end B). In the event of a fault on the line near the weakly-fed or open end, the distance unit of this end of
the line does not detect the fault. Hence, the trip will not be issued, nor will the permission signal be sent to the other end of
the line. Hence, since the permission signal will not be received, the strongly-fed end of the line will not speed up its trip.
To speed up the trip at the strongly-fed end in the event of a fault at the opposite end, the Echo function returns the TPRIx
signal received to the remote terminal if it does not detect a fault forward or backwards, or if the circuit breaker is open.
The resending of the TPRIx received (ECHO 67NQ) will be instantaneous if the circuit breaker is open and will suffer a delay
(EcActTmms) if there is a weak power supply. This delay makes it possible to cover situations in which there is a higher fault
detection time, or it start slightly later due to an unfavourable distribution of the fault current. This delay is usually set to
approximately 40ms.
“ECHO 67NQ” is a pulse that during “ECHO pulse time (ms)” (EcTmms), which is normally set to approximately 50 ms, thus
assuring that the signal received is even recognised with different action times of the protection equipment at ends of the lines
and with different response times of the transmission equipment.

protection devices act in the event of faults F1 and F2 with the basic permissive overreaching scheme.
❑ Fault F1: Protection A detects the fault in its zone 1 and hence instantaneously trips and sends a permission signal to B.
End B is open so the fault is cleared.
❑ Fault F2: Protection A detects the fault in zone 2 and sends a permission signal to B. When the protection device in B
detects that the circuit breaker is open, it will resend the permission signal to protection A without delay. When
protection A detects the fault in zone 2 and having received the permission signal, it will speed up its trip.
Figure 109 Echo and weak infeed example
Figure 109 shows the ECHO logic, and Weak infeed. This scheme will be used to analyse how the protection devices act in the
event of faults F1 and F2 with the basic permissive overreaching scheme.
❑ Fault F1: Protection A detects the fault in unit 1 and will hence trip instantaneously and send a permission signal to B. The
protection in B, being weakly fed, will not detect the fault, but as it receives the permission signal, it will send back to A
with the programmed delay, but A will be open. The circuit breaker at end B will remain closed.
❑ Fault F2: Protection A detects the fault in unit 2 and sends a permission signal to B. The protection in B, being weakly fed,
will not detect the fault, but as it receives the permission signal, it will send back to A with the programmed delay. When
protection A sees the fault in unit 2 and has received the permission signal, it will speed up its trip. The circuit breaker at
end B will remain closed.
3.12.1.7 Weak infeed (27WI)

This is a complement to ECHO 67NQ, where if ECHO 67NQ conditions are met, with the circuit breaker closed and undervoltage
in at least one of the phases, a trip is produced.
The undervoltage unit associated to the weak infeed function has its own settings and is not dependent on the undervoltage
units.
The thresholds are 0.1V to 200V.
If an unblocking scheme is used, the TPRIx signal is replaced by TPRIx & GSL.
If one end of the line is weakly fed (Figure 109 end B) with the echo logic, as seen in the previous section, the trip at the
strongly fed end is accelerated. However, the weakly fed end remains closed. This logic allows the opening of this end of the
line.
To detect the fault at the weak end, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
❑ TPRIx signal received (it will be sent to the strongly-fed end, as described in the ECHO function).
❑ The circuit breaker is closed.
❑ Undervoltage is detected in one of the phases (as a consequence of the fault). The settings recommended are 70%Vn for
the voltage.

will not detect the fault and when it receives the permission signal, it will send it to A after the set time. When protection
A sees the fault in unit 2 and has received the permission signal, it will speed up its trip. When protection B fulfills the
ECHO conditions and detects undervoltage (due to the existence of the fault), it will give the trip command.
3.12.1.8 Inverse directional block

It delays the teleprotection trip for a number of cycles in order to allow the remote terminal time to clear the permission signal
(TPTx) following a change in the flow direction due to the opening of the breaker.
It is used in double circuit lines to prevent trips due to the change in the current flow which is caused when the circuit breaker
is opened at one end of the faulty line when this fault is cleared. The reversal of the current implies the reversal of the
protection device's directional elements, as well as the increase in the apparent distance to the fault. The time between the
repositioning of the distance elements and the functioning of the unit may give rise to a trip in the healthy parallel line.
When the scheme is a blocking one, it keeps the blocking signal for a set time "Block delay time (ms)", blocking the trip for a
time after detecting a change in the fault's direction. When the scheme is permissive, it blocks the trip and the emission of the
permission for a set time after changing the direction in which it detects the fault (backwards to forward).
The overcurrent unit 2 signal is used with a memorization time "Current Reversal Blocking(ms)" (RvATmms), which enables the
"Memory Inverted Current" signal to be used in the rest of the schemes (see Figure 93).
The following figures show the change in the current flow when the fault occurs and when circuit breaker K is opened to clear
this fault:
Inverse direction blocking with permissive schemes:
❑ When faults F occurs as can be seen in Figure 111.1, protection K will detect the fault in zone 1, J will either detect it in 1
or 2 and H backwards. In this situation, K instantaneously opens the circuit breaker and sends the permission signal to J
and likewise, G sends the permission signal to H.
❑ When K opens, the current's flow is inverted as can be seen in Figure 111.2. In this new situation, G will detect the fault
backwards and H will detect it in zone 2. These conversions are not simultaneous or instantaneous. Hence, H could trip
before G removes the permission signal. To prevent this trip, the teleprotection trip is delayed for a number of cycles, to
give the remote terminal time to remove the permission signal.

User Manual 179
Figure 111 Change in the Current Flow When the Fault Occurs in a Double Circuit Line
Inverse direction blocking with blocking scheme:
❑ When the fault occurs as can be seen in Figure 110, protection K will detect the fault in zone 1, J will either detect it in 1
or 2 and H backwards. When H detects the fault in its zone 4, it sends a blocking signal to G (or it does not send the TPRIx
signal, which is the same), preventing tripping due to acceleration in zone 2.
backwards and H will detect it in zone 2. H would trip before receiving the blocking signal from G. To prevent this, H will
continue to detect the fault backwards, allowing time to receive the blocking signal.
It is recommended that the additional blocking time be set as follows:
Additional blocking time = operating time of the circuit breaker at the other end of the line (typically 3 cycles) + the reset time
of the communication channel (1 cycle) + the reset time of zone 2 of the relay at the other end of the line (1 cycle) = 5 cycles.
3.12.2 Z Teleprotection Schemes

High voltage line protection requires protection systems which are especially fast, selective and reliable with the aim of not
jeopardising the stability of the electrical system. To fulfil these requirements, it is necessary to use teleprotection systems
associated to the protection equipment installed in each end of the line. The protection device is equipped with a teleprotection
system for completely protecting the line with high-speed protection.
They are based upon the use of teleprotection signals between both end terminals of the line. The effect upon the output relays’
operation is determined according to the signals given by the protection along with the signals given by the other terminal.
From firmware version 6.0.8.0 and ICD version 8.1.0.4, the option of the phase-segregated teleprotection is included. When the
phase-segregated teleprotection is chosen, the teleprotection schemes are performed per phase. Moreover, the setting "TPTx
delay time (ms)" is included.

User Manual 180
❑ TPTx: teleprotection signal sent by a terminal.

❑ TPRIx: teleprotection signal received by a terminal.
❑ GSL: security channel loss signal (unblocking scheme).
❑ GSLRx: security channel loss signal received (unblocking scheme).
3.12.2.1 Introduction
3.12.2.1.1 Fault Detection Units
Teleprotection Z scheme will operate on the distance unit 21, Zone 1 and Zone 2 (forward), and zone 4 (backwards). Mho and quad
are both affected.
❑ Zone 1 (forward): Unit 21 zone 1 (PDIS1).

❑ Zone 2 (forward): Unit 21 zone 2 (PDIS2).
❑ Zone 4 (backwards): Unit 21 zone 4 (PDIS4).
3.12.2.1.2 Scheme Type

The schemes respond to two basic types:
❑ Blocking schemes: The signal received indicates that the fault is outside the protected zone. A relay can trip on an
overreaching zone if, after a definite time, the blocking signal has not been received.
❑ Permissive schemes: The signal received allows an instantaneous trip in the overreaching zone. The additional ECHO,
weak infeed and Current Reversal Blocking schemes can be used.
When selecting a particular scheme, it is useful to bear in mind the following characteristics for each of them: In the case of an
internal fault in the protected line and a communication channel fault in permissive schemes, protection is disabled for tripping,
whilst in blocking schemes, tripping is assured. However, in blocking schemes, if there is an external fault and a communication
channel fault, the device can trip.
If the communication system forms an integral part of the energy transport line, as in the case of carrier waves, it is best to use the
Current Reversal Blocking scheme, since internal faults may disturb or attenuate the carrier signal. Likewise, it is best to use
blocking schemes in weak infeed configurations as they are more reliable compared to permissive schemes.
Finally, it should be mentioned that permissive schemes are faster than blocking schemes, given that the latter involve slightly
longer fault clear times, due to the security waiting time for receiving the potential blocking signal.
Several schemes are available:
❑ Step trip (none)

❑ Permissive overreaching (Overreaching POTT)
❑ Permissive underreaching (Underreaching PUTT)
❑ Directional blocking scheme
❑ Directional comparison unblocking scheme
Additionally, the following can be selected together with the schemes:
❑ Direct transfer trip

❑ Echo
❑ Weak infeed
❑ Current Reversal Blocking
3.12.2.1.3 Flexible Units
In the case of the non-phase-segregated teleprotection, the signals that activate the sending of the teleprotection between the
different distance units can be configured for all the schemes. Two settings are included "Z Permissive Units (1 bit)" and "Z Block

3.12.2.2 Permissive underreaching

It causes an instantaneous teleprotection trip upon the reception of the teleprotection signal (TPRIx), together with the pick up
of zone 2, as long as the reverse memorization of zone 4 is not activated (21 memory inverted current). It is used to accelerate
the trips at one end with the other indicates this.
This scheme is based on the idea that at least one of the protection devices at one end of the line will see the fault in zone 1. If
a terminal sees the fault in zone 1 and the other one sees it in zone 2, the fault can be considered as being inside the line
between both devices, in the section of the line close to the terminal which sees it in zone 1.
The terminal that sees the fault in zone 1, besides setting off an instantaneous trip, sends the trip permission signal (TPTx) to
the other end while zone 1 is activated. The terminal which detects the fault in zone 2 generates an instantaneous trip with the
reception of the teleprotection signal (TPRIx) together with the activation of a unit in zone 2 as long as zone 4 is not activated.
Figure 123 Permissive Underreaching Logic Diagram
In the case of phase-segregated teleprotection, a TPTx of the faulted phase will be sent. For producing the teleprotection trip of
one phase, the TPRx of this phase and the corresponding permissive unit has to be activated. In addition, it the does not have
to see the fault backwards in that phase (Z Block units).
There is one signal per phase.

❑ Fault F1: Protection A sees the fault in zone 1, causing an instantaneous trip and sending a permission signal to protection
B. Protection B sees the fault in zone 2 and will set off a high-speed trip when it sees the fault in zone 2 and will receive
protection A's permission command.

User Manual 192
❑ Fault F3: None of the protection devices will trip instantaneously. Protection A sees the fault in zone 2 but B does not see
the fault in the line to protect, not sending the permission signal to protection A. Hence, A's action in zone 2 will take
place in zone 2 time.
Inverse direction block: signal "Memory Inverted Current" can be eliminated from the logic by disabling this function. In this
case, "Memory Inverted Current" would be set permanently to 0.
In lines with more than two terminals, to apply this scheme, it has to be ensured that in the event on any fault in any point in
the line, at least the protection of one of the ends detects it in zone 1.
The scheme is applied to three-terminal lines by carrying an OR signal to the three of them from the TPRx of the other two ends
(See Figure 96).
3.12.2.3 Permissive overreaching

It produces an instantaneous teleprotection trip upon the reception of the teleprotection signal (TPRx), together with the pick
up of zone 2, as long as the memorized reverse zone is not activated (Memory Inverted Current).
In this protection scheme, a fault is considered internal to the line if both terminals see the fault in zone 2. An instantaneous
trip is caused if the teleprotection signal is received, together with activation of a unit in zone 2 as long as the memorised zone
4 is not activated.
The teleprotection signal is sent upon the activation of the zone 2 units, without the detection of a reverse fault (Memory
Inverted Current).

protection B, given that it sees the fault in zone 2 (PDIS2) (zone 2 includes zone 1). Protection B trips instantaneously
when it sees the fault in zone 2 and receives a permission order from protection A. Protection B will also send a
permission signal to protection A but it has already instantaneously tripped in zone 1.
❑ Fault F3: Protection A sees the fault in zone 2 and sends the permission signal to B, which sees the fault backwards. When
A does not receive the permission signal from B, zone 2's action will take place in zone 2 time. Protection B receives the
permission signal from A, but when it sees the fault backwards, it will not trip.
Any fault in zone 3 (PDIS3) will be eliminated in zone 3 time.
3.12.2.4 Directional unblocking

The directional unblocking scheme is used in overreaching schemes. Together with the TPRx signal, the channel loss signal
(GSLRx) is received.
In usual conditions, the signal GSLRx has the same value as the TPRx signal. Thus, if the TPRx signal is activated, GSLRx is also
activated. If both signals are deactivated there is not fault and the guard channel signal is not lost.
If the overreaching zone 2 (PDIS2) acts, the security signal works as an unblocking signal.
An instantaneous teleprotection trip will be issued by the zone 2 activation:
❑ If the unblock signals TPRx and GSLRx are received or

User Manual 194
❑ When the device only receives the GSLRx signal, the timers start. When the “GSL minimum time (ms)” (LoGMinTmms)
delay is over without the reception of the TPRx signal, a trip is issued. Once the “GSL maximum time (ms)” has elapsed, no
trip is enabled. Once the loss off channel signal is deactivated again a third timer starts. When the “GSL drop out time
(ms)” delay is over the previous logic is newly applied.
The directional unblocking scheme does not allow phase-segregated teleprotection.

User Manual 195
Figure 130 TPTx and Trip Signal Scheme
The figures show the directional unblocking protection scheme. This figure is used to analyse how the protection devices will
act in the event of faults in F1, F2 and F3:
Figure 131 Directional Unblocking Protection scheme
N.B.: The signals received in the directional blocking (GSLRx and TPRx) can only be received with the values (active, active),
(active, inactive) or (inactive, inactive). They can never be (inactive, active) because the transmitter/receiver that sends the
signals, when there is communication and receives TPR gives the signals GSR and TPR and when there is no communication,
gives GSR but not TPR.
The GSLRx signal is active in 2 cases:
❑ When the security signal is lost or

❑ When TPRx is received. In this case, it is converted into a non-blocking signal. It behaves in the same way as in the case of
overreaching.
The GSLRx signal is deactivated when there is communication and there is no TPRx.

Analysis is made of how the protection devices will act in the event of faults in F1, F2 and F3:
❑ Fault F1: Protection A sees the fault in zone 1, causing an instantaneous trip and changing the security signal to an
unblocking signal given that it sees the fault in zone 2 (zone 2 includes zone 1). Protection B sees the fault in zone 2 and
when it receives the unblocking signal from A, it will speed up the trip. If the security channel is lost, when protection B's
zone 2 is activated, it will speed up its trip if it receives the channel loss signal for the time programmed for "security
signal loss".
❑ Fault F3: Protection A sees the fault in zone 2 but does not speed up its trip given that protection B sees the fault in zone
4 and therefore will not change the security signal for an unblocking signal.
3.12.2.5 Directional blocking

The TPTx blocking signal is sent if a backwards fault is detected (Memory Inverted Current).
A stop channel signal (STOP Z) is activated if a forward fault is detected (zone 1 or zone 2) and it is maintained during “Block
delay time (ms)” (BlkTmms), without the detection of a fault in zone 4 (Z4_MEM).
If the channel interruption signal (STOP Z) is activated and the signal TPRx is not received, the signal "Teleprotection Z Trip" is
activated.
If the input “TPTx Blocking input” is activated the signal TPRx is not sent. Furthermore, if the “TP Trip Block” input is activated,
the signal "Teleprotection Z Trip" is blocked.

The blocking time is an additional delay time to give time for the blocking signal to be received and is programmable by the
user. The transmission time must be as low as possible with the aim of reducing this delay to a minimum.
one phase, the TPRx of this phase does not have to be activated. In addition, the STOP signal and the permissive units of this
phase have to be activated.

 The signals corresponding to phase B, are activated with the faults BN, AB, BC.
 The signals corresponding to phase C, are activated with the faults CN, BC, CA.
Figure 133 Directional Blocking Scheme, phase A, phase-segregated teleprotection
The Figure 112 and Figure 113 show the directional blocking protection scheme. This scheme is used to analyse how the
❑ Fault F1: Protection A detects the fault in zone 1 causing an instantaneous trip. Protection B detects the fault in zone 2
and once the blocking time has elapsed, it will trip given that a blocking command is not received from A since A does not
detect the fault in zone 4.
❑ Fault F3: Protection A detects the fault in zone 2 but does not cause a fast trip given that protection B sees the fault in
zone 4 and will therefore send a blocking signal to A.
Figure 134 Directional blocking example
Care must be taken with the coordination of the blocking unit backwards (for example, B's zone 4) of each end with the
overreaching unit of the other end (A's zone 2), these being set so that the reach of the reverse unit is always greater than the
overreach's.
Figure 135 Coordinating the Reverse Blocking Unit

User Manual 198
This scheme has the advantage of not being sensitive to noise in the communication channel and has the disadvantage of
possibly causing untimely trips if the communication channel is lost.
The blocking scheme is usually used in long lines when the teleprotection signal is transmitted via the protected line by the
carrier wave and the diminishing of the signal transmitted at the point of fault can be so severe that reception at the other end
of the line cannot always be ensured.
3.12.2.6 ECHO
It is used together with permissive overreaching schemes by acting on the teleprotection (TPTx) signal.
The ECHO Z signal only provides a programmable pulse. The ECHO function sends the teleprotection (TPTx) signal with any of
the following conditions:
❑ The ones corresponding to the permissive overreaching scheme.

❑ If TPRIx is received and no forward or reverse faults are detected.
 programmable for a minimum time (setting " ECHO delay time(ms)"), or
 the breaker is open (in this situation, it does not wait for the programmed time to elapse).

User Manual 199
Figure 136 Echo and weak infeed scheme
Figure 137 Weak infeed scheme signals

User Manual 200
In the case of phase-segregated teleprotection, one TPRx will be received per phase, also activating one ECHO per phase.
Figure 138. Echo and weak infeed scheme, phase A, phase-segregated teleprotection
It is used together with permissive overreaching schemes in cases where one end of the line is open (Figure 108 end B) or is a
weak end (Figure 109 end B). In the event of a fault on the line near the weakly-fed or open end, the distance unit of this end of
the line does not detect the fault. Hence, the trip will not be issued, nor will the permission signal be sent to the other end of
the line. Hence, since the permission signal will not be received, the strongly-fed end of the line will not speed up its trip.
To speed up the trip at the strongly-fed end in the event of a fault at the opposite end, the Echo function returns the TPRIx
signal received to the remote terminal if it does not detect a fault forward or backwards, or if the circuit breaker is open.
The resending of the TPRIx received (ECHO Z) will be instantaneous if the circuit breaker is open and will suffer a delay
(EcActTmms) if there is a weak power supply. This delay makes it possible to cover situations in which there is a higher fault
detection time, or it start slightly later due to an unfavourable distribution of the fault current. This delay is usually set to
approximately 40ms.

User Manual 201
"ECHO Z" is a pulse that during "ECHO pulse time (ms)" (EcTmms), which is normally set to approximately 50 ms, thus assuring
that the signal received is even recognised with different action times of the protection equipment at ends of the lines and with
different response times of the transmission equipment.
Figure 139 Echo logic protection with breaker open in B
Figure 137 shows the ECHO Logic Sample, with the circuit breaker in B Open This scheme will be used to analyse how the
protection devices act in the event of faults F1 and F2 with the basic permissive overreaching scheme.
❑ Fault F1: Protection A detects the fault in its zone 1 and hence instantaneously trips and sends a permission signal to B.
End B is open so the fault is cleared.
❑ Fault F2: Protection A detects the fault in zone 2 and sends a permission signal to B. When the protection device in B
detects that the circuit breaker is open, it will resend the permission signal to protection A without delay. When
protection A detects the fault in zone 2 and having received the permission signal, it will speed up its trip.

protection in B, being weakly fed, will not detect the fault, but as it receives the permission signal, it will send back to A

will not detect the fault, but as it receives the permission signal, it will send back to A with the programmed delay. When
protection A sees the fault in unit 2 and has received the permission signal, it will speed up its trip. The circuit breaker at
end B will remain closed.
3.12.2.7 Weak infeed (27WI)

This is a complement to ECHO Z, where if ECHO Z conditions are met, with the circuit breaker closed and undervoltage in at
least one of the phases, a trip is produced.
The undervoltage unit associated to the weak infeed function has its own settings and is not dependent on the undervoltage
units.
The thresholds are 0.1V to 200V.
If an unblocking scheme is used, the TPRIx signal is replaced by TPRIx & GSL.

User Manual 202
If one end of the line is weakly fed (Figure 109 end B) with the echo logic, as seen in the previous section, the trip at the
strongly fed end is accelerated. However, the weakly fed end remains closed. This logic allows the opening of this end of the
line.
To detect the fault at the weak end, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
❑ TPRIx signal received (it will be sent to the strongly-fed end, as described in the ECHO function).
❑ The circuit breaker is closed.
❑ Undervoltage is detected in one of the phases (as a consequence of the fault). The settings recommended are 70%Vr for
the voltage.
Figure 141 Protection in the Weak Infeed Logic, with End B Weakly Fed
Figure 110 shows the weak infeed logic, with end B weakly fed. This scheme will be used to analyse how the protection devices
act in the event of F1 faults with the basic permissive overreaching scheme.
❑ Fault F1: Protection A detects the fault in zone 2 and sends a permission signal to B. The protection in B, being Weak
Infeed, will not detect the fault and when it receives the permission signal, it will send it to A after the set time. When
protection A sees the fault in zone 2 and has received the permission signal, it will speed up its trip. When protection B
fulfills the ECHO conditions and detects undervoltage (due to the existence of the fault), it will give the trip command.
3.12.2.8 Inverse directional block

It delays the teleprotection trip for a number of cycles in order to allow the remote terminal time to clear the permission signal
(TPTx) following a change in the flow direction due to the opening of the breaker.
It is used in double circuit lines to prevent trips due to the change in the current flow which is caused when the circuit breaker
is opened at one end of the faulty line when this fault is cleared. The reversal of the current implies the reversal of the
protection device's directional elements, as well as the increase in the apparent distance to the fault. The time between the
repositioning of the distance elements and the functioning of the unit may give rise to a trip in the healthy parallel line.
When the scheme is a blocking onee, it keeps the blocking signal for a set time "Block delay time (ms)”, blocking the trip for a
time after detecting a change in the fault's direction. When the scheme is permissive, it blocks the trip and the emission of the
permission for a set time after changing the direction in which it detects the fault (backwards to forward).
The zone 4 signal is used with a memorization time "Current rev pickup t (ms)" (RvATmms), which enables the "Memory
Inverted Current" signal to be used in the rest of the schemes.
In the case of phase-segregated teleprotection, the signal used for the blocking will depend on what is set in "Z Block Units (3
bits)”, activating a signal per phase.
 The signals corresponding to phase A, are activated with the faults AN, AB, CA.
 The signals corresponding to phase B, are activated with the faults BN, AB, BC.
 The signals corresponding to phase C, are activated with the faults CN, BC, CA.
The following figures show the change in the current flow when the fault occurs and when circuit breaker K is opened to clear
this fault:

User Manual 203
Figure 142 Change in the Current Flow When the Fault Occurs in a Double Circuit Line
Inverse direction blocking with permissive schemes:
❑ When faults F occurs as can be seen in Figure 111.1, protection K will detect the fault in zone 1, J will either detect it in 1
or 2 and H backwards. In this situation, K instantaneously opens the circuit breaker and sends the permission signal to J
and likewise, G sends the permission signal to H.
backwards and H will detect it in zone 2. These conversions are not simultaneous or instantaneous. Hence, H could trip
before G removes the permission signal. To prevent this trip, the teleprotection trip is delayed for a number of cycles, to
give the remote terminal time to remove the permission signal.
Inverse direction blocking with blocking scheme:
❑ When the fault occurs as can be seen in Figure 110, protection K will detect the fault in zone 1, J will either detect it in 1
or 2 and H backwards. When H detects the fault in its zone 4, it sends a blocking signal to G (or it does not send the TPRIx
signal, which is the same), preventing tripping due to acceleration in zone 2.
backwards and H will detect it in zone 2. H would trip before receiving the blocking signal from G. To prevent this, H will
continue to detect the fault backwards, allowing time to receive the blocking signal.
It is recommended that the additional blocking time be set as follows:
Additional blocking time = operating time of the circuit breaker at the other end of the line (typically 3 cycles) + the reset time
of the communication channel (1 cycle) + the reset time of zone 2 of the relay at the other end of the line (1 cycle) = 5 cycles.
3.12.3 Direct trip

This additional teleprotection scheme causes a single-pole or three-pole trip upon the reception of the teleprotection signal,
regardless of the status of the protection functions.
In order to operate correctly, it must be enabled. Furthermore, a digital input must be programmed as a direct trip, otherwise it
is like being disabled.
The reception signals associated to the direct trip are:
❑ Direct trip pole A, B or C: Causes an external single-pole trip in the corresponding pole.
❑ Direct trip pole ABC: Causes the command to open as well as an external three-pole trip.
Any digital signal can be used as an output signal for signalling a direct trip to the other extreme, either via the programming of
the digital outputs or via the programmable logics.
If a trip is received by two or more poles, it is considered to be a three-pole trip.

User Manual 204
A particular feature of the scheme is the direct trip, in which the input signals are generic but unit 1's signals zone used as the
output signals.
The settings for the configuration of this unit are shown in Table 110.

3.12.5 Teleprotection serial communication

A serial channel is selected to be used for teleprotection communications between the two terminals of the line. It is the same
for 67NQ and distance protection.
The communication between the devices uses a private protocol.
Up to 16 digital signals can be sent.
Used as transmitter, the device sends the signals programmed in the communication node (ITPC).
Used as receiver, the device has all the received signals, in the positions “Teleprotection signal 1”, “Teleprotection signal 2”, up
to “Teleprotection signal 16”. All these signals can be used in the teleprotection schemes.
For example, the signal “ETP 67NQ” can be assigned to the “Digital 1” setting of the ITCP node. The status of “ETP 67NQ” is sent
in the first position of the 16 transmitted signals.
The other device receives this signal as “Teleprotection signal 1”, which can be used as the receipt of the remote protection
signal. This setting is the logical input “TPRx_21 line 1”.
The settings of the communication´s channel are:
❑ Port Number. When the port exists in the device, the options are:
 Disabled. The communication is disabled.
 COM 1. The communication is enabled in the port COM1.
 COM 2. The communication is enabled in the port COM2.
❑ Comm speed (bauds). It refers to communication speed in the selected port. The options are between 19200 and 115200
bauds.
❑ Parity: It refers to an additional bit used in each character to detect transmission errors. It is selected among "None",
"Even" and "Odd".
❑ Number of Stop bits: Number of bits sent at the end of each character.

User Manual 207
❑ Digital 1: It refers to the signal sent in the first position of the message. It can be selected among all the available digital
signals of the device. It is the “Teleprotection signal 1” in the receiver device.
❑ Digital x: where x is from 1 to 16. It refers to the signal sent in the “x” position of the message. It can be selected among all
the available digital signals of the device. It is the “Teleprotection signal x” in the receiver device.
This function has settings and signals:
❑ Node PROT/ITPC1
❑ Settings. There is a setting group. See Table 112.
❑ It has no logical input.
❑ It has no command
❑ Outputs: Table 113 shows the function’s output data:

3.12.6 Trip logic

Each protection unit has a mask that allows it to produce a general trip:
❑ If a unit trips during a specific recloser status (blocked, in security t, etc.) and the corresponding mask is set to “YES”, the
trip is sent to the general trip output.
❑ If the mask is set to “NO”, the trip is produced but the "direct trip" signal is not received. In this way, the recloser is
independent of any trips used for signalling.
❑ If the recloser is out of service, all the units programmed to produce a general trip will issue a trip.
In the event of a specific trip failing to activate the “general trip”, the fault report is not generated.

User Manual 208
If a trip is produced at the same time as another trip which activates the general trip, all the trips are reflected in the fault
report: those which go to GT and those which do not.
The picks ups are affected in the same way as with each unit's trips. Each of the relay’s pickups generates a signal. This signal
passes through the trip mask filter and is included in an OR in order to generate a "General pick up" signal.
3.12.6.1 Single pole Trip

Depending on the fault, it allows one pole trips, that is, the open command is given to one pole.
ZPMPT node allows the enabled of the monopolar trip. The available settings are:
❑ Enabled. It allows one pole trips. If it is disabled, all trips will be 3 poles trips.
❑ Force three pole. Selects the signal which, when active, forces all the trip to be three poles.
❑ Single Pole Trip 67NQ16. Allows single pole trips for 67NQ remote protection scheme.
❑ Single Pole Trip Weak Infeed16. It allows single pole trips for Weak Infeed in the Z remote protection scheme Z, or in Z and
67NQ.

❑ Single Pole Trip must be enabled.

❑ Force three pole input must not be deactivated.
❑ A single pole trip must happen. It can be:
 Zone 1 Single pole trip.
 Zone 2 Single pole trip accelerated by teleprotection. The zone 2 time delay trips are always three pole.
 Single pole external trip.

Avaliable from firmware version 6.0.8.0 and ICD version 8.1.0.4

User Manual 209
❑ When the recloser is enabled, it must be in standby and the Reclose mode must be one of the single pole recloser (1 pole,
1P/3P o Dependent).
When the recloser is disabled by setting, it doesn´t affect and single Pole Trip is generated when the other conditions are
fulfilled. In that case, a reclose of an external device is allowed.
The three poles trip is generated with all the trips that are not single pole.
3.12.6.2 General trip mask

It is independent for each of the protection units.
Indicates if this unit produces a general trip or not. The protection functions can be enabled or disabled and can trigger a trip
and/or a pickup independently of which units are to open the breaker. The general trip signal is sent to the breaker and is
configured by means of this mask.
In order, upon tripping, for a unit to activate the general trip, it must meet (See Figure 144):
❑ Be enabled.
❑ Have its general trip mask set to YES.
❑ If the recloser is enabled, the unit must not be blocked by the trip permission mask.
Each protection unit has an independent setting which is used to enable or disable its general trip. Its reference is "GenTrip"
and allows the options “NO / YES”.

3.12.6.3 Trip permission masks

They are independent for each of the protection units and are configured in the protection nodes.
This mask is used to select which trips are associated to the “general trip” (with the recloser in service), depending on the status of
the recloser.
Independently of these settings, the protection units pickup and trip, activating their corresponding signals.
The unit that is to produce the trip (activate the general trip signal) can be selected by programming 4 trip masks peer unit and
which are active in the following moments:
❑ Standby (supervising or reset).

❑ Reclaim time following manual closure.
❑ Reclaim time following reclosure 1, 2, 3 or 4.
❑ Recloser blocked (external or internal block).
If the recloser is out of service, these masks have no effect, and thus all the units programmed to produce a general trip will issue a
trip.
Each protection unit has independent masks. If a unit trips during a specific recloser status (blocked, in security t, etc.) and the
corresponding mask is set to “YES”, the trip is sent to the general trip output. If the mask is set to “NO”, the trip is produced but the
"direct trip" signal is not received.
Reclosure block. When selected, the trip of this unit blocks the recloser. Detailed description in the chapter “Post-trip reclosure
permission mask”.
Each protection unit has an independent setting which is used to enable or disable the unit’s permissions. The reference is
“TripPerm”. The setting is configured as a bit field where each bit corresponds to a selection, indicating the integer value:
Bit meaning (1) Bit Value

Reclosure block 0 NO / YES
Trip permission 79 standby 1 NO / YES
Trip permission 79 blocked 2 NO / YES
Permission for trip in reclaim time following reclosure 1 3 NO / YES
Permission for trip in reclaim time following manual closure 7 NO / YES
An example of use with trip permissions in standby and following reclosures would be the decimal value 122 (01111010 in binary),
broken down into:
Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Value 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0

Breaker status via digital input
The status of the general breaker and by pole is determined with the status of digital inputs and breaker type setting. Used to
determine the status of the breaker without uncertainty and employed in functions that require the breaker’s status to be known,
such as the opening and closure sealing logic, the recloser, etc.
The 52b status inputs take precedence over the 52a status inputs, i.e., if 52b status inputs have been configured, the breaker status
is determined by means of these inputs, independently of the status of the 52a inputs.
Depending on the breaker type setting, the functioning is:
❑ 1 or 2 DI.General Status. The general 52b Status input is used for the breaker status. If it is not configured, the general 52a
Status input is used. The phase breaker status matches the general.
❑ 3 or 6 DI.Per Pole. The independent phases 52b Status inputs are used for the breaker status. If they are not configured,
the independent phases 52a Status inputs are used. The general breaker status is generated from the phases, taking into
account the following:
 Closed general status, if all the phases are closed.
 Open general status, if at least one of the phases is open.
Table 122 shows this function’s outputs.
❑ 52_1 Closed (Simple Log.). Indicates the breaker's general status, in accordance with the status of the digital inputs.
❑ 52_1 X Closed (Simple Log.). Indicates the status of each of the breaker's phases, in accordance with the status of the

4.1.2 Breaker failure and operating logic

The opening and closure failure time settings determine the time lapse between the issue of the corresponding command and the
reception of the breaker’s activity signal, on the understanding that the breaker has acted correctly. To the contrary, the open
failure and closure failure signals are generated and failure and general indications are issued.
This unit’s settings are grouped in PROT/RBFS1 (breaker 1) and (PROT/RBFS2) logical nodes:
❑ Open failure time (ms): If an open command is given, the breaker should be open before this time.
❑ Close failure time (ms): If a close command is given, the breaker should be closed before this time.
Table 122 shows the operating logic’s output Data, which are available in the PROT/XCBR nodes.

4.1.4 Open pole detector

It determines the open pole or poles using the digital inputs, current and/or voltage measurement.
In order for a pole to be considered open, a combination of the following conditions must be met (depending on the operation type
setting):
❑ A phase’s breakers indicate that the phase is open (in the case of 1 ½ breaker, two are employed)
❑ The current is below the threshold set in the open pole due to current detection logic.
❑ The current and the voltage are below the threshold (according to the setting). In this case, if there is a fuse failure the
open pole due to voltage signal is not activated.
To determine the breaker’s status by digital input, the 52b (normally closed) of each phase is employed, when configured. If the
52b is not configured, the 52a is used (normally open).
If a single pole open is detected, the following functions can be blocked, if they are selected by settings:
❑ Neutral overcurrent, sensitive neutral and unbalance.

❑ Overvoltage V0 and V2.
There is a delay of one cycle before the reset of the 3PO output (three open pole). Therefore, there is also a one-cycle delay in the
change from 3PO to 1PO (1 open pole).
There is a delay of one cycle before the reset of the 1PO output (when the breaker closes).
Figure 148 shows Open pole detector scheme. The input signals of this scheme are:
❑ 52_1A Closed: Signal indicating that phase A is closed. Corresponds to the "52_1 A Closed (Simple Log.)" signal.
❑ 52_1 Closed: Signal indicating that switch is closed. Corresponds to the "52_1 Closed (Simple Log.)" signal.

kI2 sum:
After a trip, the kI2 counter increases in accordance with the selected setting. The value of each phase’s current is calculated in
primary (VT ratio), as kA primary. There are a total of 3 counters (one for each phase). Additionally20, it is available a counter of
maximun kI2, where in each opening the maximum value of the three phases is used to calculate the ki2.
If it exceeds the set threshold (the treatment is pole to pole), a “Phase X Ki2 exceeded” signal is generated. While in this situation, the
corresponding signal is sent to control. The signals are:
❑ Phase X ki2 exceeded. Where X is the phase. It is independent for each phase.
❑ ki2 exceeded. One for all the phases.
❑ Maxki2 exceeded. Activated when the counter of maximun kI2 exceeds the set threshold.
In order to calculate the pole wear, the type of calculation wanted can be programmed from among kI2*t, kI2 and kI.
❑ If Ki2 is chosen, the kA2 are calculated with I as the current measured after exceeding the set timeout following the trip.
❑ If kI is chosen, only the sum of the currents in kA is calculated, with I as the current measured after exceeding the set timeout
following the trip.

❑ If Ki2 *t is chosen, the Ki2 /100 value is accumulated every 10ms, with I as the current measured after exceeding the set timeout
following the trip. The accumulation terminates when I<0.05 A.
Excessive number of trips:
It counts the trips produced in the time, generating a signal when the number of trips is higher than the programmed number during
the programmed time and changes to a definite trip. The time period is reset upon a manual closure. The counter may be reset to the
initial value at any moment by means of a command. The signals are:
❑ Pole X excessive nbr trips. Independent for each phase

❑ Excessive nbr trips. One for all the phases.
Open counter:
There are independent open and trip counters for each phase:
❑ The trip commands generated by the protection are considered trips.

❑ A breaker's changes from closed to open (including manual and trip openings) are considered openings.
There are 6 counters: 3 trip counters and 3 open counters. There is a reset command for each counter.
Closure counters:
There are independent closure counters for each phase. A breaker's changes from open to close are considered closures.
There is a reset command for each counter.
Operating time for electric opening and closure by pole:
They count the time elapsed from the command sent to the breaker unto its electric operation, measured with the current:
❑ Trip time: The time elapsed from the open command until the detection of the absence of power.
❑ Closure time: The time elapsed from the closure command until the detection of the presence of power.
The open pole detector current threshold is used.
These times are compared with the threshold settings. Events are generated per pole when the thresholds are exceeded “Pole X
electric time exceeded”:
❑ If the time elapsed from the open command exceeds the setting “Electrical opening T (ms)”
❑ If the time elapsed from the closure command exceeds the setting “Electrical closing T (ms)”
Mechanical opening and closure operating time per pole:
They count the time elapsed from the command sent to the breaker unto its mechanical operation, detected in the digital inputs

These times are compared with the threshold settings. Events are generated per pole when the thresholds are exceeded “Pole X
mechan.time exceeded”:
❑ If the time elapsed from the open command exceeds the setting “Mechanical opening T (ms)”
❑ If the time elapsed from the closure command exceeds the setting “Mechanical closing T (ms)”
Opening and closure dispersion time for each pole pair:
They count the difference between the opening and closure times for every two poles. There are opening/closure counters for pole
pairs AB, BC and CA. The breaker status is determined by means of the digital input status.
These times are compared with the threshold settings. Events are generated per pole when the thresholds are exceeded “XY dispersion
time exceeded”:
❑ During the opening, a comparison is made with the "Opening dispersion T (ms)" setting.
❑ During the closure, a comparison is made with the "Closing dispersion T (ms)" setting.

Days of breaker inactivity without status change:
The days elapsed, since the last opening or closure of the breaker, are counted for each pole. Complete fractions of 24 hours since the
last action are considered. Partial periods of 24 hours are not accumulated, i.e., if 2 days and 20 hours have passed since the last action,
the counter will indicate 2 days. If at this point the time count is reset to zero, the 20 hours would be lost.
These counters are compared with the “Inactivity Time (days)” setting and an event is generated per pole in the event of it being
exceeded "Pole X inactivity time exceeded".
Last interrupted current:
The current value upon the trip is indicated per pole.
Maximum interrupted current:
The maximum current value measured at the moment of the trip is indicated per pole. The three poles can be reset to zero using the
reset command.
Overcurrent levels:
Indicates the time in seconds during which each phase's current is within each of the following ranges (with In as the set rated current):
❑ Seconds with the current between 2 and 5 times In

❑ Seconds with the current between 5 and 12.5 times In
❑ Seconds with the current between 12.5 and 20 times In
❑ Seconds with the current greater than 20 In
There are 12 counters (4 for each phase).
4.3 TRIP AND CLOSE CIRCUITS SUPERVISION
It monitors the circuits by pole, detecting any discontinuity with the breaker open and closed. It requires the assignment of the
monitoring inputs (the breaker circuit with open and closed breaker, the closure circuit with open and closed breaker). It is activated 20
seconds after the detection of the fault and remains active while the fault persists.
Up to six trip circuits and three closure circuits can be monitored, using the number of digital inputs required.
Figure 153 Closure circuit monitoring Figure 153 shows an example of the wiring for the monitoring of the closure circuit. The wiring for
the trip circuit is similar.
When the breaker is closed, the “52a” contact is also closed. If there is continuity in the circuit, the input programmed as “Close circuit
52 closed” is detected as closed. If there is no continuity, it is detected as open (circuit failure).
When the breaker is open, the “52b” contact is also closed. If there is continuity in the circuit, the input programmed as “Close circuit
52 open” is detected as closed. If there is no continuity, it is detected as open (circuit failure).
The “closing coil failure” or “trip coil failure” signals are activated 20 seconds after the fault is detected, in the event of the fault
persisting upon the conclusion of this period.

Disconnector status
The status of the general disconnector and by pole is determined with the status of digital inputs and disconnector type setting.
Used to determine the status of the disconnector without uncertainty and employed in functions that require the disconnector’s
status to be known, such as the stub bus protection, etc.
The 89b status inputs take precedence over the 89a status inputs, i.e., if 89b status inputs have been configured, the disconnector
status is determined by means of these inputs, independently of the status of the 89a inputs.
Depending on the disconnector type setting, the functioning is:
❑ 1 or 2 DI.General Status. The "89b general status" input is used for the disconnector status. If it is not configured, the "89a
general status" input is used. The phase disconnector status matches the general.
❑ 3 or 6 DI.Per Pole. The independent "89b Pole X status" inputs are used for the disconnector status. If they are not
configured, the "89a Pole X status" inputs are used, where "X" indicates the pole (A, B or C). The general disconnector
status is generated from the phases, taking into account the following:
 Closed general status, if all the phases are closed.
 Open general status, if at least one of the phases is open.
Table 135 shows this function’s outputs.
❑ Disconnector 1 Status (DI). Indicates the disconnector's general status, in accordance with the status of the digital inputs.

6. AUTOMATISMS
The close command of the breaker can be manual close command or automatic (recloser):
❑ Three poles close command can be monitored by synchronism; while one pole close commands are not monitored by synchronism
❑ Manual close command can be monitored by synchronism
6.1 SYNCHRONISM
The synchronism function or “Synchrocheck” waits for the appropriate conditions established in the settings, to determine breaker
closure, both manual and automatic.
Two voltage signals from the two sides of the breaker, which we will call side A and side B, are compared.
Side A corresponds to the voltage input selected with the setting “Side A Phase Select”. This setting selects the analogue input used.
The selection between ground to phase and phase to phase voltages is made with the setting “Operating Voltages” of the node TVTR.
With this setting a compensation factor is applied to equalize the module and the angle of the two voltages compared (side A and side
B).
Side B corresponds to the analogue voltage input connected to the synchronism voltage terminals.
Table 136 shows the settings of this function for undervoltage and synchronism:
❑ Enabled. Indicates whether the function is enabled or not. When enabled, the function tests the synchronism conditions. When
disabled, manual closure permission is granted, but automatic permission is refused.

absence of voltage on that side of the breaker. It must be at least 5% less than Voltage presence.
❑ B-Side Voltage presence (V): the voltage measured in side B must exceed this value in order to consider that there is voltage on that
side of the breaker.
❑ B-Side Lack of Voltage (V): the voltage measured in side B must be lower than this value in order to consider that there is an
absence of voltage on that side of the breaker. It must be at least 5% less than Voltage presence.
❑ Autoreclose condition. Indicates the conditions for granting reclosing permission with undervoltage:
 Without permission: under no circumstances will the function grant undervoltage permission

6.1.1 Undervoltage permission

Permission is granted if there is voltage on one or on both sides of the breaker. In order to verify whether there is no voltage
present on one side of the breaker, the voltage measured is checked to see whether it is lower than the programmed value (see
Table 136).
The detection of the presence or the absence of voltage is always done in all the phases. However, the analysis of the conditions for
granting or refusing breaker close permission is only carried out if the function is enabled.
6.1.2 Synchronism permission

Synchronism permission is given when following conditions indicated by the corresponding setting are simultaneously fulfilled
during a programmable time. These conditions are based on the comparison of voltage modules, phases and frequency on both
sides of the breaker. The analysis is performed whenever there is voltage on both sides of the breaker and it is below the maximum
voltage setting.
Figure 154 Synchronism check with compensation
If “Sync. Enabled” is selected “with compensation”, the frequency slip is used to compensate the breaker closing time:
ϕUB (with compensation) =ϕUB + ωslip·TCB
∆ϕ with compensation =ϕUB (with compensation) -ϕUA
In which:
Frequency slip ∆f=fB-fA (Hz)
Slip speed ωslip=∆f·360º (º/s)
Breaker closure time TCB (s)
To consider the slip frequency difference must exceed the "Slip threshold (Hz)" setting.
If this angle difference decreases when the “Sync. Enabled” is set with compensation and closure in 0º, the condition for granting
permission will be:
|∆ϕ with compensation|=0
If the angle difference is increasing, the following must be met:
|∆ϕ with compensation|<angle difference setting
When the “Sync. Enabled” is set with compensation, in order for permission to be granted the difference must be around 0º, the
following must be met:
|∆ϕ with compensation|<angle difference setting
Synchronism function measurements available in the unit status:

❑ Module, angle, frequency of the voltage on side B.
❑ The difference between the module, angle, frequency of the voltage on side A and side B. They are only available when
the voltage presence conditions are met on both sides.
6.1.3 Two breakers application

It is available an independent synchronism function for a second breaker.
As in the first breaker, this unit has function to check the presence of voltage on both sides of the breaker, and the test of the
synchronism conditions to give close permission.
The side A voltage is the same for both synchronisms, so the same voltage and settings are used (“Side A phase Select”,
“Compensation factor (Vs1)” and “Compensation angle (Vs1)”).
The side B voltage is the Vs2 (V synchronism 2).
When “Side A-Vs1 selection” signal is activated, the side A voltage corresponds to the analogue voltage input connected to the
synchronism voltage terminals (Vs1) and side B voltage to the Vs2 (V synchronism 2).
For breaker and a half applications, with closing sequence reclosing "Brk1 then Brk2" or " Brk2 then Brk1" the setting "Autoreclose
condition" depends on the state of the breaker, so that if the first breaker of the sequence is blocked, the second breaker uses the
first breaker´s setting . For example, with "Brk1 then Brk2" if breaker 1 is blocked , it will not be close command of that breaker, so
the "Autoreclose condition" of the second breaker ( RSYN2 ) will use the setting of the first breaker ( RSYN1 ).
The function has independent settings, commands and outputs for the second breaker. The meaning of these data is the same as
the first breaker.
❑ Node: PROT/SECRSYN1
❑ Settings and logical inputs: There are 6 settings tables. See Table 139.
❑ Outputs: Table 138 shows the function’s output data. They are similar to the first breaker, but for the second.

6.1.4 Application auxiliary voltage

Two examples of application and use of auxiliary voltages according to configuration are shown.
Double busbar configuration
Figure 155 Double busbar
In double busbar configuration, there is only one breaker and the synchronism unit 1 (RSYN1) is used.
The side A voltage is independent of the disconnectors, but the side B voltage depends on the disconnector. When 89_1 is closed,
Vs1 is used, but when it is opened Vs2 is used. It affects the voltage (module and argument) and frequency used in the synchronism
function. The settings could be:
❑ A-Side V aux: Not apply

❑ Side A-V switch: Not asigned
❑ B-Side V aux: Vs2
❑ Side B-V switch: disconnector Status 89_1 opened
The synchronism function (undervoltage and synchronism) depends on the disconnector status:
❑ Disconnector Status 89_1 closed. The voltage selected on the A side is compared with the voltage of the input Vs1.
❑ Disconnector Status 89_1 opened. The voltage selected on the A side is compared with the voltage of the input Vs2.

6.2 RECLOSER
The unit allows up to 4 reclosures to be effected. The first one can be single-pole or three-pole, but the next 3 must be three-pole. In
order to make the recloser as useful as possible, the number of reclosures allowed is programmable (0 is not permitted).
There are different close times for each of the closures and for the first single-pole or three-pole.
The recloser is put into service – out of service by means of a setting. Only when enabled by setting can it be put into service-out of
service by means of a command via communications or the keyboard.
Programmable reclaim time following manual closure and following automatic closure.
The 4 closure counters (total, first, second and third closures) are stored in non-volatile memory and can be viewed in the console and
on the display. These counters can be set to 0 by command or by the keyboard.
The closure cycle can be started either by the unit's own protection trips or by external trips from other protections.
The main recloser statuses are:
❑ Supervising status.
This is the normal status, during which the recloser “monitors” for the occurrence of any trips. If any trip occurs, the recloser is
activated.
❑ Ongoing cycle status.

The status of the recloser while activated, from the first trip up to the closure of the breaker and the elapse of the reclaim time
(successful reclosure), or until all the programmed reclosures have been unsuccessfully executed. In the first case, the recloser
switches to “supervising” and, in the second, to “definitive trip”.
❑ Definitive trip status.

The recloser’s final situation once it has run all the programmed attempts and the breaker remains open due to the existence of a
permanent fault. It only leaves this status when the breaker is closed manually.
❑ Internal block status.

The status is reached as a result of different causes. The reclosure cycle cannot be started nor can the termination of the cycle be
provoked if the cycle is running. It is cancelled by a breaker closure.
Definitions:
❑ Reclosable units.
These units are capable of initiating the reclosure process. By default, they are overcurrent or distance units. The non-reclosable
units are those whose trips do not initiate the reclosure cycle (voltage, frequency, power units, etc). There is an input “External
trip” that can be one pole or three poles.
❑ Trips permitted following reclosure.

Each of the units that are blocked during the reclaim time following each reclosure are programmed by means of "YES" or "NO".
6.2.1 Settings, signals and commands

The general settings used in the recloser (PROT/ZRREC node) are (see Table 140):

❑ Reclose mode. Indicates the reclose mode between:
 1 Pole. It allows a single closure only if the first trip is single-pole. In any other case, it gives a definitive trip.
 3 Pole. It allows as many closures as there are programmed in the number of closures before giving the final trip. It
forces all trips to be three-pole.

User Manual 246
AUTOMATISMS 
 1P/3P. It allows as many closures as there are programmed in the number of closures before giving the final trip. The
first closure will be single-pole if the first trip was single-pole and three-pole if it was three-pole. All other closures of
the cycle will be three-pole.
 Dependent. If the first trip is single-pole, it allows as many closures as there are programmed in the number of
closures before giving the final trip; while if the first trip is three-pole, it only allows one closure.
 Configurable:27 The Reclose mode is selected with the logical inputs or commands: “Enable/Disable 1P mode” and
“Enable/Disable 3P mode”. When no option is selected, the recloser is blocked.
❑ Reclose number. Indicates the maximum number allowed before the issue of the definitive trip.
❑ 3 Pole Reclose 1 time (s). This is the timeout following the first three-pole trip until the recloser issues a closure command
❑ 1 Pole Reclose 1 time (s). This is the timeout following the first single-pole trip until the recloser issues a closure
command
❑ Reclose 2 time (s). This is the timeout following the three-pole trip until the recloser issues the second closure command
❑ Reclose 3 time (s). This is the timeout following the three-pole trip until the recloser issues the third closure command
❑ Reclose 4 time (s). This is the timeout following the three-pole trip until the recloser issues the fourth closure command
❑ Time after man. closing(s). Reclaim time following manual closure. The time following the manual closure of the breaker,
during which the existence of a protection trip is monitored. In such a case, a definitive trip is triggered instead of a
change to supervising status.
❑ Reclaim time Ph-Ph (s). Reclaim time following automatic closure following three-pole trip. This is the time following the
automatic closure of the breaker due to a three-pole trip, during which the existence of a protection trip is monitored. In
such a case, the cycle is continued instead of a change to supervising status.
❑ Reclaim time ground (s). Reclaim time following automatic closure following single-pole trip. This is the time following the
automatic closure of the breaker due to a single-pole trip, during which the existence of a protection trip is monitored. In
such a case, the cycle is continued instead of a change to supervising status.
❑ Incomplete sequence. Indicates whether the incomplete sequence function is enabled or not.
❑ Incomplete sequence T (s). Indicates the maximum time for the completion of the reclosure process.
❑ 79 Blocking level input. Selects the signal which, when active, blocks the recloser. The recloser must be enabled by
setting; on the other hand this input is not available.
❑ 79 Blocking pulse input. Selects the signal which, when there is a status change from deactivated to activated, blocks the
recloser. The recloser must be enabled by setting; on the other hand this input is not available. Since firmware version
5.18.15.5, if recloser is blocked by pulse, when the input is set “Not assigned”, the recloser is unblocked.
❑ 79 Unblock pulse input. Selects the signal which, when there is a status change from deactivated to activated, unblocks
the recloser. The recloser must be enabled by setting; on the other hand this input is not available.

❑ Pause input. Selects the signal which, when active, stops the closure time.
❑ Autoreclose sequence reset. Selects the signal which, when active, restarts the closure process. If the breaker is open,
“Recloser Lock 52 open” is activated and waits for it to be closed. If it is close, “Recloser Lock manual closing” is activated.
In any case, once closed, it waits for the reclaim time following manual closure to return to supervising status.
❑ On line pulse input. Selects the signal which, when there is a status change from deactivated to activated, the recloser
goes to “On service”. The recloser must be enabled by setting; on the other hand this input is not available.
❑ Out of line pulse input. Selects the signal which, when there is a status change from deactivated to activated, the recloser
goes to “Out of service”. The recloser must be enabled by setting; on the other hand this input is not available. Since
firmware version 5.18.15.5, if recloser is Out of line by pulse, when the input is set “Not assigned”, the recloser is On line.
❑ Enable 1P mode27. Selects the signal which, when there is a status change from deactivated to activated, enables the 1P

Commands
The recloser commands are in the node PROT/ZRREC1:
❑ "DOrdReEn" . It enables/Disables the recloser. This command only operates, when the recloser is enabled by setting. It is
maintained at shutdown.
❑ "DOrdReclEn" It enables/Disables the recloser in local mode. This command only operates, when the recloser is enabled
by setting and in local mode. It is maintained at shutdown.
❑ BlkRec. It blocks/unblocks the recloser. It is not maintained at shutdown.
❑ "DOrdRecIni". It resets the recloser counters.
❑ "1P mode".27 It enables/disables the 1P mode, when the setting “Reclose mode” is "Configurable". With these
commands the recloser mode can be 1 P, 1P/3P or blocked.
❑ "3P mode".27 It enables/disables the 3P mode, when the setting “Reclose mode” is "Configurable". With these
commands the recloser mode can be 3 P, 1P/3P or blocked.
6.2.1.1 Reclosure counters

There are independent reclosure counters for the first (single-pole and three-pole), second, third, fourth reclosures and for the
totals.
They are stored in a non-volatile memory and displayed in the statistical data (communications and display).
These counters can be set to 0 by command.
6.2.1.2 Excessive number of trips

It allows the number of trips within the time to be limited.
A signal is generated the trip limit is exceeded (“Reclose number” setting) within a set time (“Trips exceeded window (min)”
setting in the CBOU node).
It sets recloser to “Internal block”, signalling “Excessive nbr trips” and “Definitive trip”.
6.2.2 General operation

After a certain period following the introduction of voltage (or after resetting), the recloser enters in one of the states:
❑ If the recloser is enabled:

 Supervising status when the breaker is closed (passing through manual closure) or
 Manual Opening (manual opening block) if the breaker is open.
❑ If the recloser is disabled or there is a block signal, the reclosure cycle is not launched and it remains in the blocked status
Figure 157 Recloser initialization
It remains in the Manual Opening and Definitive Trip statuses until the breaker is closed manually.
Following the closure:
❑ If the breaker does not open during the block (or reclaim) time, it goes to Supervising status.
❑ If there is a manual opening, it enters Manual Opening Block.

User Manual 253
AUTOMATISMS 
❑ If there is an opening by a protection, it enters Definitive Trip Block.

If the protection acts but the breaker does not open (or the trip remains active) during the programmed time, it enters internal
block due to opening failure and the corresponding signal is activated. It leaves this status following a manual opening, a breaker
closure command or a reset.
The Supervising (or standby) status is maintained until:
❑ There is a manual opening.

❑ The protection acts and opens the breaker, initiating the cycle when applicable.
The cycle consists of 1 to 3 reclosures.
During each cycle a programmed time is observed and the breaker closes. If the breaker does not trip due to a protection within
the reclaim time, the Supervising (standby) status is entered. If it does, the following closure is initiated. If this was the last, the
Definitive Trip is initiated.
If, following the action of the protection, the breaker does not open in the preset time or the relay continues to trip, the internal
block begins to operate. If, following a closure and while the safety time is being counted, there is a manual opening. In this case, it
enters Manual Opening Block and exits the cycle.
If, while the reclosure time is being counted, a manual closure is produced, the recloser aborts the reclosure cycle and enters
“Manual closure”. Following the corresponding reclaim time, it returns to standby.
If, once closed, a reset is received, it also enters manual closure.
The action of the external block prevents the cycle from being entered, or the exit from any ongoing cycle. If the breaker opens
while the block is in effect, it enters Definitive Trip block.
If the synchrocheck function is enabled and the synchrocheck monitoring setting is set to “YES”, this function must issue closure
permission in order for the closure relay to be activated.
The figures below show the sequence of events for a reclosure which has been programmed for three reclosure attempts (TR1, TR2
and TR3, respectively), with a reclaim time of Tsec, for different situations:
a.- Successful first reclosure.
Once the Supervising status has been reached, a new trip causes a new cycle to begin and reclosure 1 is started once more, as
shown below:

User Manual 254
AUTOMATISMS 
b.- Successful second reclosure.
c.- Successful third reclosure.
d.- Changes to definitive trip after exhausting the number of programmed reclosures.
e.- Changes to definitive trip due to a trip during the reclaim time following a manual closure.

User Manual 255
AUTOMATISMS 
6.2.3 Post-trip reclosure permission mask

They are independent for each of the protection units and are configured in the protection nodes.
The enabling of the corresponding R1, R2 and R3 post-trip reclosure permission mask is checked with each trip. If they are not
enabled, the reclosure cycle is interrupted.
In the event of simultaneous trips (before the opening of the breaker), the units with reclosure permission are taken into account in
order start the reclosure cycle.
Additionally, the trips which force the recloser to enter a block are also checked.
If consecutive trips are produced in different units, the relay reviews the tripped units’ masks and allows as many reclosures as
correspond to the minimum number allowed for the units involved.
That is, if the minimum number of reclosures is set to 3, reclosures 1, 2 and 3 are allowed.
Once the number of permitted cycles has been exceeded, a new trip causes the recloser to enter “Definitive trip block”.
Reclosable trips
These are trips that are capable of initiating the reclosure cycle is programmed accordingly. In general, they are trips corresponding
to the overcurrent and distance units, as well as the external trip inputs.
Each trip’s programming options are:
❑ Reclosure following a trip set to “YES”

In order to allow reclosure following a specific trip type, the reclosure permission settings must be set to “YES”.
If various units issue a trip command during a fault and at least one of the tripped units has reclosure permission, the reclosure
cycle is initiated, unless one of the units is set to produce a 79 block.
❑ Reclosure following a trip set to “NO”

If, in the event of simultaneous trips, reclosure is not to be produced by a specific unit but rather the units with permission are to
have precedence, i.e., the reclosure cycle is to be initiated.
Likewise, there are various unit block inputs (for status and for pulses), thus making it possible to transfer any signal that is to be
used to avoid the reclosure to this input.
Non-reclosable trips
If a non-reclosable trip is produced (27, 59, 59N, 81, 81R), the reclosure unit will not launch the reclosure sequence for this cause
and, depending on whether the reclosure block mask has been set to “YES”, it will force the recloser to enter the definitive trip
status.
If the trip does not open the breaker (because it has not given rise to the general trip), the recloser will remain in its current status.
Non-reclosable unit’s can be made to produce a reclosure by means of the connection to the trip output corresponding to the
“Configurable autoreclose” input.
Recloser block due to trip
This is used when a specific unit is not to produce a reclosure following a trip and when this unit is to prevail over those with
permissions in the event of simultaneous trips.
If this mask is not used, two units may trip simultaneously and the recloser may reclose due to one of the units being reclosable.
In the event of the non-reclosable unit tripping on its own, the breaker will open and remain in a blocked status.
In addition to these masks, the relay has logic inputs that allow the recloser to be blocked. Through the logical assignment of
internal signals to these inputs, the user can modify the operation of the recloser.
Each protection unit has an independent setting which is used to enable or disable this unit’s reclosure due to trip permissions. The
reference is “ReC1Perm”. The setting is configured as a menu of options.
The PacFactory has a drop-down menu showing the possible combinations. These options are different between the distance units
that generates single-pole trip and the units that only produces three-pole trip:

6.2.4 Fault type selection

Depending on which unit has provoked the initiation of the reclosure process, the reclosure time to elapse before the generation of
the reclosure signal, as well as the reclaim time following the reclosure, is selected.
Internal Trips
Depending on the type of trip produced, there are 2 types of reclosure:
❑ Reclosure following a single-pole trip. This trip is produced by distance zone 1 and teleprotection unit.
❑ Reclosure following a three-pole trip (the rest).
If a single-pole trip evolves to a three-pole trip before the reclosing, the times are restarted in accordance with the three-pole trip.
External trips
Includes the following signals:
❑ DPE - External protection trip: Can be single-pole or three-pole.

❑ DPR-Reclosable programmable trip. An internal signal which is wired for logics and whose activation allows the reclosure
cycle to be initiated.
Upon the opening of the breaker and once it has been determined whether the fault is single-pole or three-pole, a reclosure time
that is programmed in accordance with the chosen setting is launched.
6.2.5 Breaker open timeout

Once the relay has tripped (activation of the general trip), the recloser waits during the opening failure time, till the breaker opens
(by contact) and the trip disappears. If the breaker does not open upon the conclusion of this time, “opening failure block” is
entered.
If during this programmed period of time the breaker opens, the ongoing cycle is initiated and the “79CC-Ongoing cycle” signal is
activated.
This signal will remain active until the cycle terminates upon its completion and a standby or block status is entered.
If the 52 NO and NC inputs are programmed, the 52b (NC) will be taken into consideration to detect the opening. If only the 52a
(NO) input is programmed, this signal at zero will be used as an open status.
6.2.6 Number of reclosures available

The total number of reclosures can be selected by settings.
The reclosures which are to be possible following the tripping of a specific unit can also be selected.
The enabling of the corresponding R1, R2, R3 and R4 permission mask is checked with each trip. If they are not enabled, the
reclosure cycle is interrupted.
In the event of simultaneous trips (before the opening of 52), the units with reclosure permission are taken into account in order
start the reclosure cycle.
Additionally, the trips which force the recloser to enter a block are also checked.
If consecutive trips are produced in different units, the relay reviews the tripped units’ masks and allows as many reclosures as
correspond to the minimum number allowed for the units involved. That is, if the minimum number of reclosures is set to 3,
reclosures 1, 2 and 3 are allowed.
Once the number of permitted cycles has been exceeded, a new trip causes the recloser to enter “Definitive trip block”.
All the trips (reclosable, non-reclosable and block) are checked up to the moment in which the breaker opens.
Any block trips which appear are sent directly to a blocked recloser.

User Manual 260
AUTOMATISMS 
If there are only reclosable trips, the reclosure cycle is begun with the time of the first reclosable produced by the trip.
Examples of operation.
The total number of reclosure cycles is set to 2 and Autoreclose mode to Dependent.
Example 1:
❑ Unit 50 trips (three-pole trip with reclosure available in all except the first one). Recloser does not reclose as the reclosure
permission is not allowed in CC1. Recloser would enter “Internal Block-Definitive Trip”
Example 2:
❑ 52 is closed and reclaim time following manual closure is initiated.

❑ Unit 51N trips (with R1, R2 and R3 reclosure permission for three-pole trips). 79 recloses with “Three-pole Reclose 1 time
(s)”.
❑ With 52 closed, and while “Reclaim time Ph-Ph (s)” is running, unit 50 trips (with R2 and R3 reclosure permission)
Reclosure R2 is not performed because the first trips has been three-pole. Recloser would enter “Internal Block-Definitive
Trip”
Example 3:
❑ In standby, Zone 1 single-pole trips (with R1 reclosure permission for single-pole trips). 79 recloses with “single-pole
Reclose 1 time (s)”.
❑ With 52 closed, and while “Reclaim time ground (s)” is running, a three-pole trip happens (with R2 and R3 reclosure
permission for three-pole trips). 79 recloses with “Reclose 2 time (s)”.
❑ With 52 closed, and while “Reclaim time ground (s)” is running, a three-pole trip happens (with R2 and R3 reclosure
permission for three-pole trips). 79 recloses with “Reclose 3 time (s)”.
❑ With 52 closed, and while “Reclaim time ground (s)” is running, a three-pole trip. 79 recloses with “Reclose 3 time (s)”.
Recloser does not reclose because the maximum reclosure number is exceeded. Recloser would enter “Internal Block-
Definitive Trip”
Example 4:
❑ While in standby, a 50 trip with R1 permission is produced and, before 52 opens, another 50N with R2 permission,
programmed without blocking, trip is produced.
❑ In this case, the 50 trip would take precedence, provoking the reclosure cycle.
Example 5:
❑ While in standby, a 50 trip with R1 permission is produced and, before 52 opens, another 50N programmed with blocking
trip is produced.
❑ In this case, when the 50N trip is produced and the breaker opens, the reclosure cycle would be interrupted and “Internal
Block-Definitive Trip” would be entered.
6.2.7 Reference voltage monitoring

This is used to wait for the activation of an external signal before allowing a reclosure. For example, to wait for the disappearance
of the line voltage following a trip (if there were motors or batteries connected to the line) or for a specific network condition
(power fluctuations, etc).
This monitoring is equivalent to a pause signal that halts the reclosure cycle during the VREF timeout.
It operates as follows:
❑ Once the breaker has opened and the trip has dropped out, the reclosure cycle is initiated and the reclosure time is
launched.
❑ In the absence of VREF, “VREF timeout” is launched, during which the VREF signal should be activated to allow the
continuation of the reclosure process.

User Manual 261
AUTOMATISMS 
❑ If the VREF signal does not appear prior to the elapse of this time, the internal 79 block due to absence of VREF” status is
entered.
❑ This status is cancelled by means of a closure or following the activation of the recloser reset input.
Figure 160 Reference voltage monitoring scheme
6.2.8 Re-initiation of reclosure time

The digital “Pause with reclosure reinitiation” input is used to reset the reclosure time counter to zero.
When the “Pause with reclosure reinitiation” input is activated, the recloser time counter (dead time) is reset to zero and the 79 is
halted until this input is cleared.
When this input is deactivated, the reclosure time count is restarted.
6.2.9 Pausing of reclosure time

The digital “Pause input” input is used to pause the reclosure time counter.
When this input is activated, the reclosure time counter (dead time) is halted until this input is cleared.
When this input is deactivated, the reclosure time count continues.
Figure 161 Reclosure time with pause and restart scheme

User Manual 262
AUTOMATISMS 
6.2.10 Incomplete sequence block

The two pause inputs can be used to wait for a certain signal, although the cycle can be extended indefinitely. It is thus important
to prevent the recloser from remaining permanently in the current cycle.
This timed is used to check that the recloser has exceeded a defined time without issuing a closure command nor becoming
blocked or resetting, thus causing the recloser to enter a block by incomplete sequence status.
Figure 162 Block by incomplete sequence scheme
6.2.11 Synchronism monitoring

It only applies to three-pole trips. If the trip is single-pole, the synchronism is not checked before reclosure command.
After a three-pole trip, if a specific reclosure is set to “monitored by synchronism” and once the reclosure time has elapsed, there is
a maximum timeout equivalent to the “Sync. Delay Time (s)” setting in which the “synchronism permission” signal is to activate.
Upon the issue of the synchronism permission the reclosure command is activated.
If synchronism permission is not activated, the “Block due to lack of synchronism” status is entered.
The first and the rest of the reclosures can be set to monitoring by synchronism by means of a setting. This allows the first
reclosures to be carried out quickly and without the need to check for synchronism, in the case of specific faults, and normal
reclosures for the rest.
Settings can be used to establish whether the synchronism is to check the relay’s functioning or that or an external input.
There is a setting within the synchronism unit to enable monitoring by synchronism for the recloser and for manual closing. As they
are independent settings, by disabling function 25 it is possible to monitor the reclosure with the external synchronism input.
If the setting “Synchrocheck type” is internal, the recloser waits the permission signal is activated. If the setting is external, the
recloser waits the activation of the “External syncro. Permission” input.
6.2.12 Closure block by trip circuit monitoring

If the closure block by trip circuit monitoring is set to “YES”, when the reclosure command is activated while the trip circuit
monitoring logic’s “trip circuit failure” signal, the closure command is not received and "Internal block due to failure in the SPV trip
circuit" is signalled.
This status is cancelled by the manual closure of the breaker following the elapse of the reclaim time.
6.2.13 52 closure timeout

Once the relay has issued a reclosure command (Activation of the 79 output-reclosure command), the breaker should close during
the closure failure timeout (by contact), If the breaker has not closed upon the conclusion of the timeout, "79 block due to closure
failure" s entered and the reclosure command is deactivated. If there is a trip during that time, the reclose command is cancelled
and a definitive trip is generated.

User Manual 263
AUTOMATISMS 
This status is cancelled by means of a manual closure.
If the 52 NO and NC inputs are programmed, the 52b (NC) will be taken into consideration to detect the closure.
If only the 52b (NC) is programmed, this denied signal will be used.
6.2.14 Recloser statuses

During its operation, the recloser enters through various statuses that are grouped together as stables and transitory.
6.2.14.1 Stable statuses

The "Recloser" function has 5 stable statuses, i.e., statuses in which it can remain indefinitely until something occurs to cancel
the status. They are:
❑ Out of service.
❑ Supervising, standby or reset.
❑ Manual opening.
❑ Internal block. Includes the Definitive trip.
❑ External block.
❑ Reclosure successful
6.2.14.1.1 Out of service

It will be placed out of service by settings (Enabled “NO”).
If it is in service, it can be placed out of service by pressing the R key on the keyboard or by means of a command or logical
input.
This status is exited when the function is enabled by a setting or command (R key or command or logical input). The transitory
manual closure setting is entered if the breaker is closed at this time. If the breaker is open, internal block (due to manual
opening) is entered.
The functioning is similar when the relay lights and the reclosure setting is set to “YES”.
6.2.14.1.2 Supervising or standby

This is the normal status, during which the recloser “monitors” for the occurrence of any trips. If any trips occur, the
recloser is activated.
This status is entered:
❑ Whenever the breaker is closed for a period that exceeds the reclaim time (following a manual closure or following
a trip).
❑ If the breaker is closed and in the external block status, when the block signal is cleared.
This status is exited:
❑ By the action of the protection and the subsequent opening of the breaker. If reclosure is to follow, the cycle is
initiated. If not, Definitive trip is entered.
❑ Due to the manual opening of the breaker. Manual Opening is entered.
6.2.14.1.3 Manual opening

This status is entered by a manual opening command (by command, contact or other causes, but not by a trip).
This status is cancelled when the 52 is closed manually (by command, contact, etc., by not by reclosure).

User Manual 264
AUTOMATISMS 
Figure 163 Manual opening
6.2.14.1.4 Internal block

There is a general internal block status with different signalling, in accordance with the cause. This status is entered as
result of different causes:
❑ Opening failure
❑ Closure failure
❑ Manual opening
❑ Three-phase Trip
❑ Definitive trip
❑ Incomplete sequence
The reclosure cycle is not started in this status. The cycle is abandoned if it has already been started and Definitive Trip is
signalled if the breaker has opened as a result of a protection trip.
This status is cancelled by the closure of the breaker following the elapse of the reclaim time.
In all cases, a generic “internal block” signal is activated, in addition to a specific signal identifying the cause of the block. In
those cases where the block status occurs after a trip and the opening of the 52, “definitive trip block” is also indicated.

It is cancelled by a manual breaker closure. The transitory Manual Closure status is entered.
Definitive trip
This status is activated following a trip that fails to produce a reclosure due to a 79 block or for having reached the end of
the cycle with the fault intact:
❑ A trip is produced within a period that is shorter than the reclaim time following a manual breaker closure.
❑ A trip is produced in a period that is shorter than the reclaim time following the last reclosure.
❑ A protection trip is produced while the block status is active.
❑ A protection trip is produced while the recloser is out of service.
❑ An excessive number of trips are produced within a defined time.
❑ The recloser does not issue a closure command due a voltage monitoring failure (synchronism).
❑ The recloser issues a closure command and the recloser does not close in the closure failure time.
❑ The recloser does not issue a closure command due to an interlock (for example, a trip circuit failure) and the
recloser does not close in the closure failure time.
❑ The voltage presence conditions are not met during a current cycle.
❑ If a trip does not produce a reclosure due the programming of a block (with the block taking precedence over other
functions with permissions) or the absence of the programming of a reclosure (unless there is another function
with reclosure permission trips simultaneously).
❑ A switch onto fault function trip following a manual closure.
❑ By incomplete sequence.
This status is cancelled by one of the following causes.
❑ Manual breaker closure, following which the transitory MC (Manual Closure) status is activated.
❑ Reception of recloser’s reset input.

extern.block” is also signalled if the breaker has been opened by a protection trip (general trip) or by an external protection.
6.2.14.1.6 Successful reclosure

Successful reclosure is signalled when, following the issue of a closure command and the closure of the three 52 poles, the
reclaim time elapses without a new trip being produced.
The “successful reclosure” signal is activated and remains so until the relay trips once again.
6.2.14.2 Transitory statuses

Transitory statues are those statuses in which the system cannot remain for longer than a specific time.

User Manual 268
AUTOMATISMS 
6.2.14.2.1 Manual closure

This status is activated as a result of a manual breaker closure or by means of a command (not be reclosure), independently
of whether a cycle is in progress. It maximum duration is equivalent to the reclaim time following manual closure.
This status is cancelled by one of the following causes:
❑ Due to the manual opening of the breaker. An internal block due to manual opening is activated.
❑ Due to the action of the protection. An internal block due to definitive trip is activated.
❑ Following the elapse of the safety time. Standby is activated.
❑ Due to the activation of the external block input or block command. An external block is activated.
❑ Due to the action of the protection following an opening failure (52 does not open or the unit remains tripped). An
internal block due to an opening fault is activated.
Figure 167 Reclaim time following manual closure
6.2.14.2.2 First closure. Phase 1: Timed.

This is reached at the start of the cycle. Its maximum duration is equivalent to the first closure time. If monitoring by
synchronism is activated, the synchronism timeout is added, if there is no synchronism upon the termination of the
reclosure time count. There are different settings for the first single-pole and three-pole reclosing.
At the same time as the closure time count, the monitoring by VREF (during a maximum “VREF timeout” period) and by
synchronism.
This is cancelled by:
❑ Manual breaker closure. “Internal block” is activated and “Temporary block by manual closure” is signalled.
❑ Following the elapse of the reclosure time. Phase 2 of the closure is entered.
❑ Activation of the external block input. “External block” is activated.
❑ Failure to meet the reference voltage (VREF) monitoring conditions. An internal block is activated and Internal
block due to absence of VREF and Definitive trip is signalled.
❑ Failure to meet the synchronism monitoring conditions. An internal block is activated and Internal block due to
synchronism fault and Definitive trip is signalled.

This is reached once the first closure timed is complied with. It activates the closure command and increments the closures
meter.
It is cancelled:
❑ Because the breaker has closed in the permitted time. Phase 3 entered.
❑ Because the permitted time has elapsed without the closure of the breaker. An internal block is activated and
“Internal block due to closure failure” and “Definitive trip” is signalled. The relay’s Breaker failure due to contact
signal is also activated.
6.2.14.2.4 First closure. Phase 3: breaker closure.

This is reached following the closure command issued in phase 2 when the breaker has closed. It maximum duration is
equivalent to the reclaim time following automatic closure. It deactivates the closure signal.
It is cancelled:
❑ Due to the manual opening of the breaker. “Internal block” is activated and “Internal block by manual opening” is
signalled.
❑ Due to a protection trip. The second reclosure process is entered, phase 1.
❑ Because the block time has elapsed without the opening of the breaker. Standby is activated.
A low current permanent fault may cause tripping following the elapse of the safety period. To avoid, in the event of all the
reclosures being first reclosures and no definitive trip is produced, the automatic extension of the timeout due the pick up
of a unit capable of producing a reclosable general trip in standby (“Trip permission with 79 in standby” set to “YES”) until
reset or a trip is produced.

The status of the recloser while activated, from the first trip and the opening of the breaker up to the closure of the breaker
and the elapse of the safety period (successful reclosure), or until all the programmed reclosures have been unsuccessfully
executed. In the first case, the recloser switches to “supervising” and, in the second, to “definitive trip”
If, during the operating cycle, a manual order (or command) is given to the circuit breaker, the recloser suspends the cycle
and switches "internal block due to manual opening" or "manual closure".
These same applies if a reset signal is received.

6.2.15 Application with two breakers

When having a double breaker configuration, both breakers trip at the same time. With this function, the recloser operation mode
with the two breakers can be selected between:
❑ Both breakers reclose simultaneously.

❑ Combine the closings following a programmed sequence.
❑ Automatically, only closes one of the breakers.
In any of those cases, once the security time has passed, both breakers must be closed in order to finish the reclosing successfully.
After a single phase trip, the recloser waits for the opening of only one pole in both breakers. If more than one pole opens, it blocks
and signalizes definitive trip. If the tripped pole does not open in both breakers, after waiting a time, it blocks by open failure. To
begin the process, both breakers have to open.
If both breakers open correctly, the reclosing cycle begins after the time set, to close the breaker selected with the closing
sequence. If a single phase fault is detected, it can evolve to a three phase fault during the ongoing cycle. At this moment, a new
three phase reclosing waiting time begins to give closing permission. If, when giving a reclosing permission, the breaker is open or
tripped, it blocks.
The recloser considers that a breaker is blocked, if a manual opening has been made or if it is blocked by a digital input or setting. In
this case, it does not operate, and will only be able to operate the other breaker if the setting "Permit closure 52_x with 52_y
blocked" says so.
With manual closing of a breaker, the recloser is blocked by manual closing , counting the safety time after manual closing.
The "Closing sequence" defines how the recloser acts:
❑ Brk1. The reclose cycle only generates close command for breaker 1.
 Generates open command on both breakers and wait for them to open. If any of them is not open,then it will block by
open failure and not continue reclosure cycle.
 Generates close command for breaker 1 and waits for closure (with or without synchronism). Breaker 2 is not closed.
❑ Brk2. The reclose cycle only generates close command for breaker 2.It is same as above, but breakers are exchanged.
❑ Brk1 and Brk2. The reclose cycle generates close command for both breakers simultaneously.
 Generates open command on both breakers and wait for them to open. If any of them is not open,then it will block by
open failure and not continue reclosure cycle.
 Generates close command for both breakers and wait for closure (with or without separate synchronism) to pass
safety time. If one of them gives closure failure, the setting value Block by Br1 Close Fail is checked
 NO:The closing sequence continues considering only the other breaker
 YES: Recloser is locked and it will block by close failure.
 If either closed, it starts counting recloser safety time.
 If recloser safety time ends up without trips and breaker is closed, it returns to standby.
 If new protection trip is produced, a new closing sequence is started
 If an excessive number of trips are produced in any breaker, then it will block and not continue reclosure cycle
❑ Brk1 then Brk2. The reclose cycle generates close command for breaker 1. When the reclose cycle has finished
successfully (Successful Reclosing), the breaker 2 close command is generated, once the sequence time since the breaker
1 close command has finished

User Manual 273
AUTOMATISMS 
 Generates open command on both breakers and wait for them to open. If any of them is not open, then it will block by

one of them gives closure failure, the setting value Block by Br1 Close Fail is checked
 NO: Closing sequence continues considering only the breaker 2 checking synchronism 2.
❑ Brk2 then Brk1. The reclose cycle generates close command for breaker 2. When the reclose cycle has finished
successfully (Successful Reclosing), the breaker 1 close command is generated, once the sequence time since the breaker
2 close command has finished. It is same as above, but breakers are exchanged.
❑ Brk1 - Brk2. The reclose cycle generates close command for breaker 1. When the breaker 1 has closed, the sequence time
starts. When the sequence time finishes without a new trip, the breaker 2 close command is generated. If during sequence
time with the breaker 1 closed, there is a trip, the next reclose cycle starts until the maximum allowed reclosure by setting.
The sequence is the following:
 Generates open command on both breakers and wait for them to open. If any of them is not open, then it will
block by open failure and not continue reclosure cycle
 Generates close command for breaker 1 and waits for closure (with or without synchronism). When the
breaker 1 is closed, the sequence time starts. When the sequence time finishes without a new trip, the breaker
2 close command is generated. If breaker 1 gives closure failure, the setting value Block by Br1 Close Fail is
checked
 NO: Closing sequence continues considering only the breaker 2 checking synchronism 2.
❑ Brk2 - Brk1. The reclose cycle generates close command for breaker 2. When the breaker 1 has closed, the sequence time
starts. When the sequence time finishes without a new trip, the breaker 2 close command is generated. It is same as Brk1 -
Brk2, but breakers are exchanged.
If the close sequence is "Brk1 then Brk2" or " Brk1 - Brk2" and breaker 1 is blocked or in manual opening, the breaker 2 close
condition (ReCond2) uses the first breaker´s setting (ReCond1). In case of "Brk2 then Brk1" or " Brk2 - Brk1" and breaker 2 is
blocked or in manual opening, the breaker 1 close condition (ReCond1) uses the second breaker´s setting (ReCond2).

6.3 FREQUENCY RECLOSER
The unit, following a minimum frequency trip and in the case of the function having been enabled and not locked, will only attempt one
reclosure.
The logical input “Restoration trip (start)” must be activated, to start the reclosing.
When the trip occurs, the 79f-breaker closure lock signal is activated and the period programmed as the “definite trip timeout” is
observed. If the minimum frequency condition is set to “NO” or if the frequency is higher than the minimum programmed value during
the programmed “closure time”, a closure command is issued to the breaker. If the minimum voltage condition is set to “YES” and is
not met, the definitive trip is activated.
The 79f-breaker closure block will remain active until the reclosure or definitive trip conditions are met.
If the “Enab. maximum reset time” is set to “YES” and the programmed “maximum reset time (s)” elapses without the reclosure
conditions having been met, an internal block due to failure to meet conditions (with definitive trip) is activated. If the setting is set to
“NO”, the reclosure conditions are waited for indefinitely.
A “reclaim time” is observed following the closure. If a new minimum frequency trip occurs during this period, it moves to internal
block with definitive trip.
The frequency recloser’s general operation is shown in Figure 176 to Figure 183.
The settings used in this unit are shown in Table 153:

BREAKER AND A HALF CONFIGURATION 
7. BREAKER AND A HALF CONFIGURATION

The model ZT1 is specific for breaker and a half configurations.
The current inputs are independent for every breaker. There are two inputs for every phase.
The analog input 7 can be selected with the setting "Current 7 type" of the node TCIN:
❑ Ipol. The analog input 7 is used as polarization current.

❑ In2. The analog input 7 is used as Parallel line Neutral current 2.
The polarity of the phases of each of the breaker can be selected as incoming / outgoing, with the settings of the node TCIN:
❑ Local End polarity Br1. It selects the polarity (incoming / outgoing) of the currents IA1, IB1, IC1.
❑ Local End polarity Br2. It selects the polarity (incoming / outgoing) of the currents IA2, IB2, IC2.
Available analog inputs in model ZT1 are:
Model T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 T7 T8 T9 T10 T11 T12

ZT1 I A1 I B1 I C1 I A2 I B2 I C2 In2/Ipol Vs2 Vs1 VA VB VC
In topology 52 ½, the total phase current is calculated as the sum of the current of each breaker, taking into account the polarity. If
incoming it´s sum, if outgoing it´s subtraction.
Br1 incoming Br1 incoming Br1 outgoing Br1 outgoing

Br2 incoming Br2 outgoing Br2 incoming Br2 outgoing
Ia = Ia1 + Ia2 Ia = Ia1 - Ia2 Ia = -Ia1 + Ia2 Ia = -Ia1 - Ia2
Ib = Ib1 + Ib2 Ib = Ib1 - Ib2 Ib = -Ib1 + Ib2 Ib = -Ib1 - Ib2
Ic = Ic1 + Ic2 Ic = Ic1 - Ic2 Ic = -Ic1 + Ic2 Ic = -Ic1 - Ic2
As neutral current, the zero sequence is used (3·I0).
The calculations for sequences are performed with total currents.
7.1 PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
The following points indicate the functions affected by the configuration 52 ½.
The breaker status follows the criteria:
❑ To consider closed, simply one of the breaker is closed

❑ To consider open, both breakers must be open.

It is used to avoid
It is used to avoid nuisance tripping on near faults but outside the area to be protected.
In external faults with large current flow, one of the current transformers can saturate without providing line current to the fault
and in this case:
❑ There is phase current with any direction (as measured current is spurious ) and voltage close to zero , which can generate
a trip of the distance unit
❑ If the fault is biphasic, homopolar current appears due to saturation and can act neutral directional units
An output signal is available.

Phase currents of the two breakers are compared (IA1 and IA2, IB1 and IB2, IC1 and IC2).
An external fault is considered when, at least at some phase, the current of the two breakers exceed 3 times the rated current in
rms value.
If the currents are in phase, the fault is internal; while if the current are in opposite phase (continuous current) the fault is external.
There are several factors that make the currents are not exactly in phase in internal faults and not in opposite phase in external
faulat, the following angular criteria is applied:
Figura 184. Angular criteria for external faults
The signal "Block by External Fault" is activated when in some phase the following conditions are met:
❑ The current at the same phase of the two breakers exceeds 3 times the nominal current in rms value
❑ The angle difference between the same phase of the two breakers is between 110º and 250º.
In this situation the following units are blocked:
❑ Distance units, programmed as forward, which have involved the phase that indicates external fault. And for zone 1 all
units programmed as forward are blocked.
❑ Neutral directional programmed as forward is blocked

FAULT LOCATOR 
8. FAULT LOCATOR
The fault locator for single and double lines processes the information collected in relation to each fault and calculates the estimated
distance to the point in which the fault has occurred, as well as the fault resistance.
The initial data necessary in order to arrive at the final calculation is:
❑ Sample by sample values of the voltage and current signals collected in the moment in which the fault is produced.
❑ The impedance parameters of the line in which the fault has occurred.
❑ Length of the line.
❑ The Voltage transformers and Current transformers transformation ratios of the bay that captured the fault.
The result is the distance to the fault in km or miles, together with the fault resistance and a locator exit code.
The node corresponding to the fault locator is PROT/RFLO.
All the settings are in primary values.
The settings necessary for the operation of the distance calculation algorithm are as follows (see Table 161):
❑ Enabled. Indicates whether the locator is enabled or not.

❑ Line length (Kms or miles). Indicates the length of the protected line.
❑ Z1 Imp. (Ohm p.u.length). The line’s positive sequence impedance module by unit length.
❑ Z1 angle (º). The line’s positive sequence impedance angle.
❑ Z0 Imp.(Ohm p.u.length). The line’s zero sequence impedance module per unit length.
❑ Z0 angle (º). The line’s zero sequence impedance angle.
❑ Y1(1/ohm p.u.length)*10e-9. Imaginary part of the line’s positive sequence admittance.
❑ Y0(1/ohm p.u.length)*10e-9. Imaginary part of the line’s zero sequence admittance.
❑ Z1 Local Source (Ohm). Local source positive sequence impedance module.
❑ Z1 Local Source angle (º). Local source positive sequence impedance angle.
❑ Z0 Local Source (Ohm). Local source zero impedance module. This setting only applies when the relay is set to receive phase to
phase voltages and the fault locator is enabled. The relay internally calculates the zero sequence voltage from the zero sequence
current (I0=IN/3) and the settled local source zero sequence impedance. With this value and with the phase to phase voltages is
able to calculate the single phase voltages and execute the calculation like the normal case.
❑ Z0 Local Source angle (º). Local source zero sequence impedance angle. This setting only applies when the relay is set to receive
phase to phase voltages.
❑ Z1 Remote Source (ohm). Remote source positive sequence impedance module.
❑ Z1 Remote Source angle (º). Remote source positive sequence impedance angle.
❑ Z1eq Parallel (Ohm). Positive sequence impedance module in parallel with the line.
❑ Z1eq Parallel Angle (º). Positive sequence impedance angle in parallel with the line.
❑ Phase current sens. (A). Minimum variation threshold in the phase current (in primary value) for the detection of the fault.
❑ Ground current sens. (A). Minimum variation threshold in the neutral current (in primary value) for the detection of the fault.
❑ Voltage sensitivity (V). Minimum variation threshold in the voltage (in primary value) for the detection of the fault.
❑ Locator output permanent. Indicates whether the distance measurement is maintained until the next fault (set to “YES”) or only the
seconds indicated in the “Locator output duration(s)” setting (set to “NO”).
❑ Locator output duration(s). Distance measurement maintenance time (s).
❑ Line type. Allows the user to select between single line or double line.
❑ Z0M Mutual(Ohm p.u.length). Mutual impedance module, by unit length. This setting only applies when the relay is set to double
lines.
❑ Z0M Mutual angle (º). Mutual impedance angle. This setting only applies when the relay is set to double lines.

FAULT LOCATOR 
❑ Filter enabled. If set to “YES” and if the fault point is detected during the ten cycles following a breaker closure, the neutral current
is checked to see whether is exceeds the “I Minimum after close (A)” setting. If it is, inrush is considered to exist and prefault
current values equal to zero are employed in order to avoid the inrush distortion in these measurements. The neutral current is
also checked to see whether it exceeds the “Ground maximum current (A)” setting. If it is set to “NO”, neither the inrush nor the
neutral current are measured.
❑ I Minimum after close (A). Current threshold (in primary value) for the detection of inrush. Only used if the filter setting is enabled.
If a switch on to fault is detected (by the status of the breaker) during the first 10 cycles, single – phase ground faults that do not go
beyond the INmin threshold are blocked. If it is set to 4999A all the faults (single – phase and polyphase) are blocked. A possible
use is when there is a great distortion in the shape of a wave after a closing. For example, in the case of a distribution with a lot of
transformers hanging from the line, the breaker closing will cause a high inrush that can make the low current earth faults
calculation results distorted. With the I0min threshold the earth fault calculation is filtered, the I0of which must be lower than this
threshold.
❑ Ground maximum current (A). Threshold (in primary value) indicating the system’s maximum neutral current under normal
conditions. It is only used if the filter setting is enabled.
Ohm p.u indicates ohms per unit of length. For a line length of 100 km and a line impedance of 100 ohm, the setting in ohm p.u is
calculated as follows:
Ohm p.u = Line impedance / line length = 100 ohm /100km = 1 ohm p.u,
If the impedances are available in secondary values, these can be converted to primary values with the following formula:
𝑉_𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠_𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜
𝑍𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑦 = 𝑍𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑦
𝐼_𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠_𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜
There are independent settings:
❑ PROT/RFLO node:
❑ Settings: There are 6 settings tables. For details see Table 146.

8.1 LOCATOR OPERATION
The process that follows the locator’s algorithm can be summarized in 4 steps, which are explained below:
❑ Fault instant detection

❑ Pre-fault and post-fault filtering
❑ Determination of the fault type
❑ Localization algorithm
8.1.1 Fault detection

Once the protection has picked up, the fault detection algorithm starts processing the analogue signals received in search of the
exact instant in which a fault has been produced. This search is made by comparing samples from consecutive cycles.
8.1.2 Pre-fault and post-fault filtering

The distance calculation algorithm uses the fundamental components of the voltage and current waves. The filtering extracts the
components from the signals stored at the pick up.
The collected signals are processed by a digital filter which provides the fundamental voltage and current components. A cosine
filter is used for this stage.
8.1.3 Determination of the fault type

Before launching the distance calculation algorithm in conjunction with the pre-fault and fault measurements calculated in the
previous step, the fault type must be defined.
The locator includes an algorithm that determines which phases have been affected by the fault. The algorithm is based on the
well-known Girgis method for distance relays. This procedure, which analyses the different magnitudes of change between the pre-
fault and post-fault situations in the current’s fundamental component, has demonstrated enviable precision in its results.

User Manual 291
FAULT LOCATOR 
8.1.4 Distance calculation

The distance calculation algorithm has been developed for single (see Figure 185) and double lines.
When a fault happens in a line corresponding to our relay, the information gathered by the locator, placed at one extreme of the
line, is reduced to the voltage and current values.
The data necessary to fully determine the system are obtained from the situation existing in the instant immediately preceding the
fault and in the situation of the fault itself.
8.1.4.1 Filtered by the maximum neutral current level (cross country faults)
In cross country faults (simultaneous faults in different lines or in the same line, e.g. AN in the protected line and BN in the
adjacent line), the zero sequence current level detected in the system is superior to the maximum zero sequence current level
for single phase faults.
In these situations, the protection locates the fault but indicates that the “Ground maximum current (A)” setting has been
exceeded, as in these situations the voltages are distorted by the lack of the adjacent line fault and can cause erroneous
calculations in the fault distance.
This mode is only operative if the “Filter enabled” setting is active. In this case, the result of the localization will be displayed in
the fault report, although in the control measurements it will be reported as invalid.
Figure 185 Line topology
8.2 PRESENTATION OF THE RESULTS
The presentation of the results is carried out in several ways:
❑ By display. In the “Fault reports” submenu.

❑ In the faults report.
❑ In a control measurement. It remains active during the programmed time or until another fault is produced.
In addition to the distance calculated, the fault resistance and the locator exit code are provided both in the display and in the fault
report. The locator exit codes are shown below:
❑ LOCATED: The fault has been located.

❑ LITTLE PREFAULT/ LITTLE PRE: There are few pre-fault cycles, pre-fault cycles <3 cycles.

User Manual 292
FAULT LOCATOR 
❑ LITTLE POSTFAULT/ LITTLE POST: There are few post-fault cycles.

❑ TRUNC: The fault has been processed but the localization algorithm has been truncated because the high number of
iterations.
❑ IN>I: The neutral current (IN) is greater than the set maximum neutral current.
❑ IN<I: The neutral current (IN) is lower than the set minimum neutral current following closure.
❑ NOT FAULT: The fault instant has not been detected.
❑ OUT OF LINE: The calculated distance is out of the set line length. If the calculated distance is greater than 150% of the
line length, the distance value is not shown.
❑ NOT ENABLED: The locator is not enabled.
❑ NEGATIVE DISTANCE: The distance calculated is negative. In this case, the distance value is not displayed.
❑ NOT LOCATED: The locator algorithm has not run.
For example, a locator result indicating the LITTLE PRE/IN>I/OUT OF LINE code should be interpreted as follows:
The location algorithm does not have sufficient pre-fault cycles and therefore considers that the fault sample is in the cycle in which the
digital pick up was produced. Furthermore, the neutral current in the system has exceeded the current value set in the “Ground
maximum current (A)” setting (this check is only carried out when the “Filter enabled” setting is set to “YES”). By exceeding this value,
the distance calculation may be erroneous. Therefore, although it is shown in the fault report it is marked as an invalid control
measure. Finally, the distance calculation has returned a value in excess of the value established in the “Line length” setting. If this
result is between 100% and 150% of the line length, it will be displayed. If it is greater, the distance will appear as NOT CALCULATED.
The distance is always calculated but it will not be sent to the dispatching centre (61850 nor Procome) if one of the blockings codes of
the locator is activated. In the fault report, the distance is always included with the locator exit code.
The locator blocking causes are:
❑ Not enough cycles (< 2.5 cycles). In this case, no calculation is done.
❑ Ineutral is below the setting “I Minimum after close (A)” (resistive or distant fault). In this case the calculation is done, but
it is not sent to the dispatching centre.
❑ Ineutral is above the setting “Ground maximum current (A)” (possible cross country fault). In this case the calculation is
done, but it is not sent to the dispatching centre.
❑ General block by switch onto fault. In this case the calculation is done, but it is not sent to the dispatching centre.

The unit continually checks the various incorporated elements and cards. If an error is detected in any of the elements or cards, an
alarm is generated. If the error affects the unit’s operation, a critical error is generated, which in addition to the signal acts on :
❑ Colour front LED. Non-configurable status LED, which indicates the unit’s general status. If the LED is green, it indicates
that everything is correct, while if it is red it indicates a critical error in the unit.
❑ CPU Relay. Non-configurable 3-contact relay, which indicates the unit’s general status. If the LED is active (common
terminal – NO), it indicates that everything is correct, while if it is deactivated (common terminal– NC) it indicates a critical
error in the unit. If the unit is switched off, the relay is deactivated.
❑ The unit's alarm signals are to be found in the LPHD node. The available signals indicate faults in the card check, in the
communications between the cards, in the unit’s configuration, etc.:

10. CONFIGURATION
10.1 CID
10.1.1 Data Storage

The unit has a CID file that follows the format defined in section 6 of the IEC 61850 standard. It is available via the following path by
FTP “SCL/validated”, in which all the unit’s configuration information is saved, either structured in nodes that follow the IEC 61850
format or in private parts.
10.1.2 Updating CID

There are different ways to change the settings. They are listed below:
❑ Using MMS in IEC 61850

❑ Using local display
❑ Using the pacFactory (PC tool)
❑ By sending the CID by FTP to the “SCL/notvalidated” directory
Independently of the form used from among those listed above, the changes to the affected setting are stored in the unit’s CID file.
CONFIGURATIONS USING ED1:

On devices with IEC61850 Edition 1 configurations, when any setting is changed, the paramRev field in the node in which the
new setting has been written, as well as the LLN0 node of the Logical Device to which the node belongs, are updated in the CID
file.
The format of the paramRev data is as follows:
XXX year.month.day.time.minute.second [paramRev origin text]
❑ Where “XXX” is an integer counter that is incremented each time paramRev is updated by a setting change.
❑ "paramRev origin text“depends on the origin of the setting change:
Origin of settings change paramRev text origin

MMS IEC 61850 client BROWSER IP
Local display USER DISPLAY
pacFactory USER TOOL
New CID CID UPDATE
In the case of “New CID”, only those settings in the CID sent to the unit and which are out of range will be updated in
paramRev.

10.4 INPUTS/OUTPUTS
The unit can host a variable number of input-output cards variable (from 1 to 7). Each card is configured with an internal address from
2 to 7. The power supply is assigned address 1, which is not configurable.
Each card is represented in the IEC 61850 data model as an instance of the GGIO node in the Logical Device called “GEN”. Each GGIO
has the internal address of the physical card as an instance. Thus, for example, if a unit has two input-output cards with internal
addresses 1 and 4, the GEN/GGIO1 and GEN/GGIO4 nodes will exist in the data model.
The number of digital input settings and signals present in each GGIO depends on the type of card used. Continuing the example, if the
card with the internal address 1 has 6 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs, the GGIO1 node will have 6 digital input signals and 4 digital
output signals, as well as the settings corresponding to each digital input and output available.
The data model associated to the GGIOs is common to all and has 32 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs. Nevertheless, in each card
only the data associated with its own inputs and outputs are updated.
For each GGIO there is a boolean setting called MaskEna (event record enabled). If set to “YES”, the activation/deactivation of the
digital inputs and outputs will generate protection events. To the contrary, they will not be stored as event records.
10.4.1 Inputs
There are 2 settings available for each digital input:
❑ DIxTmms: Digital input time x (ms). This is a software filter for the activation/deactivation of digital inputs. It
indicates the milliseconds (range 0 to 100 ms30) which a digital input must be seen to be active in order to be
considered active. In order to calculate an input's total activation time, the input’s hardware filter delay – which is
approximately 1ms – must be added to this time.
❑ DIxType: Digital input type x. Defines whether the input is to be interpreted as active when it is seen as closed (NO)
or when it is seen as open (NC)
Each digital input has an associated digital signal indicating its status (see Table 179). Each GGIO indicates the status of all its digital
inputs (up to 32).

Remaining inputs
10.4.2 Outputs
There are 3 settings available for each digital output:
❑ DOxSig: Assignment digital output x. Assigns the activation of the digital output. There are several assignment
possibilities:
 Signals: They can be signals generated by the unit (trips, logics, hw check, digital inputs and outputs)
 Commands: All of the commands available in the unit can be directly programmed to a physical output
❑ DOxTmms: Digital output time x (ms). The output activation time defines the minimum operational time of each
physical output following activation (in milliseconds). The range is 0.05 to 5000 ms. The output remains active in
accordance with this time setting or the duration of the associated signal, whichever is greater.
❑ DOxTyp: Digital output type. Each output’s type is defined from among the options:
 “Not”. The output follows the assigned signal, i.e., the output is activate when the signal is active. When the
signal is deactivated, the output will deactivate if the digital output time has elapsed. To the contrary, the
output will remain active until this time elapses.
 “Stored”. Once activated, the output remains active until the relay deactivation command is issued, with the
signal assigned to the output deactivated. The command can be issued by the action of a digital input
programmed as “Local reset”, a command or by keyboard/display.
 “Trip”. Once activated, the output remains active until the following conditions are met: the signal assigned to
the output is deactivated and the breaker is open.
 “Close”. Once activated, the output remains active until the following conditions are met: the signal assigned
to the output is deactivated and the breaker is closed.
Each digital input has an associated digital signal indicating its status (see Table 181). Each GGIO indicates the status of all its digital
outputs (up to 16).

10.4.3 Treatment of digital input flicker

Flicker consists of a fast and continuous change of a digital input, usually associated with a failure in the input’s contact. The
function allows a control to be performed to disable the flickering digital inputs or signals in order to prevent them from interfering
with the control system, as a disabled digital does not generate status changes.
The supervising of the swing in the digital inputs or the supervising of the flicker is conducted in accordance with certain user-
configurable settings.
On the one hand, there is a general setting that allows this function to be enabled or disabled. If this setting is disabled, not flicker
treatment is performed.
General setting for the configuration of the flicker treatment (Table 182):
❑ FlickerEna: Enables the digital inputs’ swing supervising function.
Table 182 General flicker treatment setting

FlickerEna Flicker enabled 0 1 1 NO (0) / YES (1) enum
❑ GEN/LLN0 node
Once the general flicker setting has been enabled (Table 182), there are two more setting per card for treating the swing.
They are “OscTms” and “Nchanges” which can be seen in Table 180:
❑ OscTms: The time between changes in the same direction in order for a signal to be deemed to be swinging. When a signal
is swinging a swinging signal is produced. The unit is seconds.
❑ Nchanges: The number of changes that must be produced in a swinging signal in order for the signal to become invalid and
cease from sending changes. If this setting is set to zero, it disables the swing treatment for this card, i.e., the flicker
treatment is not performed for this card.
❑ GEN/GGIOx node, in which x depends on the card’s internal address (see section 10.4)
Once a signal has been detected as swinging, it becomes questionable and oscillatory.
If this situation continues and the number of set changes (“Nchanges” setting) is exceed, the signal becomes invalid and oscillatory.
It ceases to send the changes and sends the signal's last known valid status.
When the time difference between two changes is greater than the inputs’ swing time (“OscTms” setting), the signal changes to
valid.
10.5 LEDS
10.5.1 Via GEN/IHMI node

The LEDs are programmed within the IHMI node located in the “GEN” Logical Device. There are 2 settings available for each LED:
❑ LexSig: Assignment led x. Assigns the activation of LED x using any of the signals generated by the unit

User Manual 307
CONFIGURATION 
❑ LExTyp: LED type x. It can be programmed as “not” and “stored”. In the first case, the activation of the LED follows the
activation of the signal programmed in the setting described above. If it is programmed as “stored”, the LED’s activation
will remain even if the signal that provoked its activation drops out, until the signal programmed in the LogInReLed setting
available in the IHMI node is activated.
There is a general setting for all the LEDs that indicates the logic signal used to switch of the LEDs:
❑ LED reset. Selects the signal which, when active, switches off the LEDs.
The LEDs are updated every 200ms. Thus, for the correct activation of the LEDs, the assigned signal must remain active for at least
150 ms. To the contrary, the LED cannot be activated.

If the unit, in addition to the “GEN” Logical Device’s IHMI node defined in the previous section, has an IHMI node located in “CTRL”
Logical Device, the unit’s treatment in relation to the configuration of the LEDs differs as follows:
❑ The parameterization of the assignment of LEDs is carried out by the settings present in the CTRL/IHMI node.
❑ The parameterization of the LEDs type is carried out by the settings present in the CTRL/IHMI node.

Remaining LEDs up to 19
There are 2 settings available for each LED:
❑ InRefx: Assignment led x. Assings the activation of LED x using any of the signals generated by the unit. The
assignment is carried out by means of a character string (see next section “Configuration with InRef”)
❑ LEDSex: LED type x. It can be programmed as “not” and “stored”. In the first case, the activation of the LED follows
the activation of the signal programmed in the setting described above. If it is programmed as “stored”, the LED’s
activation will remain even if the signal that provoked its activation drops out, until the signal programmed in the
LogInReLed setting available in the GEN/IHMI node (defined in the previous section) is activated.
10.6 CONFIGURATION WITH INREF

10.9 IPRV NODES CONFIGURATION
10.9.1 General IPRV settings

The device has several settings (included in the GEN/genIPRV logical node) to set certain operating modes.
These settings are considered special and they are configurable via an IEC 61850 connection or sending the CID file after editing the
values from pacFactory tool (menu Settings -> IPRV). They do not appear in the display or section pacFactory protection settings.
The settings included in this logical node are:
❑ LocalTim: Allows to force sending local time in IEC 61850 timestamps. It is important to know that this is not normative
because IEC 61850 standard defines that the timestamps must be sent in UTC format. However, with this option the device
is adapted to systems that only use local time. The default value is 0, which indicates the use of UTC. The value 1 indicates
the use of local time.
❑ MaxConn: Sets the maximum number of IEC 61850 connections that are accepted. Limited to a maximum value of 16.
❑ AplicTms: Defines the disconnection timeout at the application level. After this time (in seconds) without receiving any IEC
61850 messages the server automatically closes the connection.
❑ TipoServ: Defines some operation modes of the device.
 Value 0: Default operation mode.
 Value 1: Special operation mode that includes:
 Enable IP checking to validate a new ICD/CID file. If the IP address indicated in the communications section of
the ICD/CID file does not match the address of the device the file is not validated. If the IP address of the
device is changed once the file has been validated, the IEC 61850 server is disabled and waits for the change of
the IP address of the device with the one in the file or to receive a new CID file with the correct IP.
 When a command is received, the value that the device saves in "orIdent" attribute is the IP address from
which the command was sent, regardless of the value that the client sent in the message.
❑ AuthReq: Allows activating the password authentication in the establishment of IEC 61850 connection. The password
received is checked against the one assigned to the user “user61850”.
 The default password for this user is: user61850.
❑ DevGoose: Selects the Ethernet port for GOOSE messages. Any online change of this value requires the reset of the device
and therefore the signal ResetDev is activated.
 Eth1: GOOSE publication and reception enabled on interface ETH1.
 Eth2: GOOSE publication and reception enabled on interface ETH2.
 Both (Eth1): Reception on both interfaces (ETH1 and ETH2). Publication is sent by only one configurable
interface for each GOOSE. By default port ETH1.
 Both (Eth2): Reception on both interfaces (ETH1 and ETH2). Publication is sent by only one configurable
interface for each GOOSE. By default port ETH2.
❑ NoGsVlan: Defines the use of the VLAN tag in GOOSE messages. Any change in this value causes the activation of the signal
ResetDev. Default value is 0.
 Value 0: GOOSE messages are sent with VLAN TAG and are received with or without VLAN TAG.
 Value 1: GOOSE messages are sent and received only without VLAN TAG.
❑ IprvMod: Sets the access level to reports, commands and logs from the different IP addresses configured in the IPRV logical
nodes defined in the following paragraph:
 Permissive: By default all IP addresses not configured in the IPRV logical nodes have access to reports,
commands and logs. The IP addresses included in the IPRV logical nodes will have the configured access level.
 Restrictive: Only IP addresses configured in the IPRV logical nodes have access to reports, commands and logs.
The access level is configured individually for each IP address. Other IP addresses do not have access.
❑ IprvConn: The value 1 limits the IEC 61850 connections only to IP addresses configured on IPRV logical nodes and any
connection from other IP address will be rejected. The value 0 allows the connection from any IP address.
Only the settings that indicate the activation of the signal ResetDev require a restart of the device to be effective.

CONFIGURATION 
10.9.2 IEC 61850 clients IPRV settings

There are 8 instances of this logical node (GEN/IPRVx) to configure the level access to reports, commands and logs of up to 8 IEC
61850 clients. Each client is identify by its IP address. The available settings for each logical node are:
❑ Addr: IP address of the client.

❑ EnaRpt: Enumerated value to configure the access level to reports from the defined IP address.
 [0] All: Allows access to all reports.
 [1] Yes: Allows access only to the reports defined in RptNam fields.
 [2] No: Not allowed access to any report.
❑ CmdEna: Boolean setting that with value 1 allows the execution of commands from the defined IP address.
❑ EnaLog: Enumerated value to configure the access level to logs from the defined IP address.
 [0] Read only: Only read access to the logs.
 [1] Read/write: Read and write access to the logs.
The signal GEN/IPRVx.St.stVal indicates whether the address configured on that node is in communication with the device. In case
of multiple connections from the same IP, the signal is 0 when all are closed.
These settings are considered special and they are configurable via an IEC 61850 connection or sending the CID file after editing the
values from pacFactory tool (menu Settings -> IPRV). They do not appear in the display or section pacFactory protection settings.
10.10 MEASUREMENT’S RANGE AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION
Measures logical nodes which have the AdRanMea setting have the possibility of the automatic configuration of the measures
ranges (with value 1 in the AdRanMea setting).
AdRanMea settings in different logical nodes are independent. Each logical node can be configured independently.
Only de ranges of measures with a sAddress value are calculated.
If the value of AdRanMea setting is 1, the range configuration cannot be modified via IEC 61850 protocol.
The values that are automatically calculated are:
Measures:
❑ rangeC.hhLim.f
❑ rangeC.hLim.f
❑ rangeC.lLim.f
❑ rangeC.llLim.f
❑ rangeC.min.f
❑ rangeC.max.f
Angles:
❑ rangeAngC.hhLim.f
❑ rangeAngC.hLim.f
❑ rangeAngC.lLim.f
❑ rangeAngC.llLim.f
❑ rangeAngC.min.f
❑ rangeAngC.max.f
The calculation is made based on the values of scale range and transformation ratio of each measure as follows:

User Manual 311
CONFIGURATION 
❑ Signed measures:
❑ max: scale range * transformation ratio
❑ min: - (scale range * transformation ratio)
❑ Unsigned measures
❑ max: scale range * transformation ratio
❑ min: 0
And the value of the factor configured in the multiplier attribute is applied:
❑ If multiplier > 0 it is divided by 10 multiplier

❑ If multiplier < 0 it is multiplied by 10 multiplier
In both cases the limits are configured as:
❑ hLim = max
❑ hhLim = max
❑ lLim = max * 4 / 5
❑ llLim = max * 4 / 5
The rest of the configuration values of each measurement (db, SIUnits, multiplier, dbAng, limDb) are not modified.

SYNCHRONIZATION 
11. SYNCHRONIZATION
Several synchronization sources are permitted, with the following priority:
❑ IEEE1588v231
❑ IRIG-B
❑ SNTP
❑ Communication protocols
❑ pacFactory (see specific user manual)
❑ Local display
In case of active synchronization with any of the sources, the sources of lower priority are blocked. Some examples:
❑ If there is synchronization by IEEE1588v2, synchronization for any other cause is not permitted. In order to consider the absence of
IEEE1588v2 synchronization and to allow other sources, 1.5 minutes must elapse without synchronization:
 When disabled by setting
 When you lose IEEE 1588v2 communication through the port (synchronization does not arrive)
 When it loses traceability or precision (the master is not synchronized)
❑ If there is synchronization by IRIG, synchronization for any other cause is not permitted. In order to consider the absence of IRIG
synchronization and to allow other sources, 1.5 minutes must elapse without the reception of correct IRIG frames.
❑ If there SNTP synchronization, the synchronization of protocols is not permitted, nor pacFactory nor display. However, if IRIG
synchronization is received, the SNTP is blocked and IRIG is synchronized.
❑ Synchronization by pacFactory and by display have the same priority and can be run simultaneously.

SYNCHRONIZATION 
11.2 IEEE 1588V2
The IEEE Std. 1588-2008, also known as IEEE 1588v2 or PTPv2, offers a good solution for clock synchronization in distributed systems
with high accuracy requirements. It works through Ethernet networks and achieves accuracy in the submicrosecond range.
Ingepac EF IEDs support IEEE 1588v2 and specifically the IEC 61850-9-3:2016 Ed1, also nown as Power Utility Profile (PUP), which allows
compliance with the highest synchronization classes of IEC 61850-5 and IEC 61869-9.
Following the IEC 61850-9-3:2016 Ed1 profile:
❑ The PTP over IEEE 802.3 transport mapping, specified in Annex F of IEEE 1588v2, shall be the only transport mechanism used.
❑ The peer delay request mechanism specified in Chapter 11.4 and Annex J.4 of IEEE 1588v2 shall be the only path delay
measurement mechanism in operation.
Ingepac EF IEDs support IEEE 62439-3:2016 Ed 3 Annex A when 1588 synchronization over PRP or HSR is needed.
11.2.1 Settings
There are 3 settings to set up IEEE 1588v2. They all belong to the GEN/LTMS logical node described in 1.4.1.
❑ Main Time Source: The string “1588” must be set up in this setting in order to enable 1588v2.
❑ PTP interface: This setting specifies the interface in which the IED will listen to IEEE 1588v2 messages.
❑ PTP delay mechanism: The Mechanism used peer to peer (P2P).
11.3 IRIG-B
The device is equipped with an input for synchronization by GPS, using IRIG-B time codes (consult chapter 2 for more details about the
input).
The supported IRIG-B formats are B002, B003, B006, B007 and IEEE1344. The configuration is with the IrgType setting in the GEN\LLN0
logical node (General configuration). The different options are (depending on whether the GPS send UTC or local time):
❑ “UTC without year”. The year is not taken into account and all the formats are admitted.
❑ “UTC with year”. With formats B006, B007 and IEE1344 the year is not taken into account. It cannot be used with formats
B002 and B003 because they set the year to zero value.
❑ “Local without year”. The year is not taken into account. All the formats are admitted.
❑ “Local with year”. With formats B006, B007 and IEE1344 the year is not taken into account. It cannot be used with formats
B002 and B003 because they set the year to zero value.
11.4 SNTP
The available implementation of the SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is based on the points described in RFC5905. To improve the
accuracy of the synchronization and to take into account the possible delays introduced by the network, the "On-Wire" protocol, which
is described within the RFC itself, is used.
This correction algorithm uses four timestamps numbered from T1 to T4, with the timestamp of sending or receiving each message, to
calculate the offset that is required to apply to the time of the equipment after sending each synchronization request.

User Manual 315
SYNCHRONIZATION 
The following image shows in a general way the synchronization scheme:
The time offset obtained using this calculation is the deviation to be applied in the SNTP client clock to obtain the time of the SNTP
server that synchronizes it. It is a valid method for both LAN networks as well as for WAN networks that have higher response times.
The SNTP settings are included in the LTMS logical node.
Note: There is an optional configuration mode with the SNTP-IP value in the communications section of the ICD file, which is
maintained for backward compatibility with previous configuration files. The IED only uses that option if no configuration is included in
the LTMS node. Nevertheless, the recommended configuration option is through the LTMS node settings.
11.4.1 Settings
The SNTP settings are in the GEN/LTMS logical node:
❑ Main Time Source: IP address of the main NTP server. Broadcast addresses are not allowed. Value 0.0.0.0 disables the
main source.
❑ Secondary Time Source: IP address of the secondary NTP server. Broadcast addresses are not allowed. Value 0.0.0.0
disables the secondary source.
❑ Not Synchro time SNTP (min): Elapsed time in which it has not been received any correct SNTP response (the checked
fields are detailed below) from any of the sources configured for SNTP synchronization to consider the SNTP as not
synchronized. Range value is 1 to 1440 min.
❑ SNTP Polling Time (seg): Time interval between synchronization requests to the NTP servers. Range value is 10 to 3600
seconds. If the configured time is less than the real polling communication process (requests and retries in case of failure)
the synchronization active request will finish normally and a new polling timer will be started.
❑ SNTP Time delay Unicast message (seg): Waiting time for the response to an unicast synchronization request. If no
response is received in that time interval a unicast request retry cycle will be started. Range value is 1 to 60 seg.
❑ Retry number: Number of unicast request retries in case there is no response from the NTP server to a request. If the
configured number of retries finishes without response with the main source the device tries to synchronize with the
secondary source. If the configured number of retries finishes without response with the secondary source that
synchronization process is finished and the device waits the polling period to send a new request. Range value is 0 to 9.
❑ PTP interface: This setting specifies the interface in which the IED will listen to IEEE 1588v2 messages.
❑ PTP delay mechanism: This settings specifies which delay Mechanism to use: peer to peer (P2P) or end to end (E2E) delay
mechanism.
(*) Available from firmware version 6.3.20.0, the necessary settings to enable and configure symmetric key authentication in SNTP
requests:
❑ SNTP authentication: This setting enables the authentication in SNTP messages based on the keys file configured.
❑ SNTP key: The number of the key used for the authentication. It shall match with the value configured in the SNTP server
used as synchronization source.

are supported by the IED:
❑ MD5
❑ SHA
❑ SHA1
❑ RIPEMD160
To provide additional information, a digital signal and a counter have been added with data about the status of the SNTP
authentication:
❑ AuthCfgErr: Configuration error boolean signal. Indicates that there is some type of error in the configuration of the keys
file or in the selected settings. In this case, the IED sends SNTP requests without authentication so it can be synchronized.
❑ AuthRspErr: Counter with the number of not authenticated responses or with authentication failure. When this occurs, the
response obtained is discarded and the device is not synchronized. This counter is increased in case of:
 The SNTP server rejected the request (because the key was not configured or the expected signed value did
not match).
 The received authentication is not considered valid (the calculated signed value does not match the expected
one).

12.8 OSCILLOGRAPHY
The oscillography is stored in binary comtrade format. There is a CFG config file and a DAT data file for each.
For additional information see on “IEEE Standard Common Format for Transient Data Exchange (COMTRADE) for Power Systems”.
It allows 16 analogue signals:
❑ 12 analogue inputs from the transformers (current and voltages)

❑ 4 frequency measurements34 (V phase B, V synchronism, frequency 2Va-Vb-Vc, V synchronism 234)
❑ External battery used as the power supply of the equipment
❑ LD models show the differential and restraint currents of the three phases.
It allows up to 15034 digital signals, selected among all the signal of the equipment.
The trigger signals are selected among the registered signals, when the set “Trigger Signal” is set to “YES”. If it is set to “NO”, that signal
is registered but does not start the oscillography.
The length is set in cycles (Total Duration), from 20 up to 420 cycles (8,4 seconds for 50Hz and 7 seconds for 60Hz).
Pre-fault duration (cycles) indicates the pre-fault cycles that are stored in each disturbance recorder prior to the trigger, being able to
vary between 1 and 415 cycles.
The number of samples can be selected among the options of the following table. Depending on the device and ICD used, the number
of the samples per cycle is different to adapt to the different devices. The relationship between them is shown in the following table
34
Available since firmware version 6.0.18.2 and ICD 8.2.0.0. Up to that version there are 100 digital signals and 3 frequencies

The continuous mode allows increasing the length if at the end of the register there is a trigger signal activated. In that case, the
register continues the number of cycles set in the “Total Duration (cycles)”, checking again the trigger signals at the end of the new
register. The total register is limited to 5Mb or 3 times the setting “Total Duration (cycles)” (the most restrictive of both).
In order for the trigger signal to act, it has to change the status, that is, it has to pass from deactivated to activated. If one trigger signal
is continuously activated, it does not start, nor extend the oscillography register.
The digital signals set to “NO” in the “Trigger signal” setting are displayed, but do not start, nor extend the oscillography register.
The oscillography allows to display signals that do not start the register. For example, the protection trip signal can initialize an
oscillography register, where the start signals are displayed. Table 190 shows an example of an oscillography configuration, with 11
digital signals registered but only three signals start the register (General trip, 51 trip and GGIO1 Digital input 1). At the end of the
register, if one of these three signals, continues activated, the oscillography is extended the cycles set in “Total Duration (cycles)”;
otherwise the oscillography is finished.

and the number of samples.

User Manual 338
FTP ACCESS 
❑ Password: ftpUpdat
With this user you can access the directory "downloads" where a valid firmware file should be copied. Once the file is copied the update
will start automatically.
It is very important that during the process of updating firmware the device is not turned off since in that case the device could become
unusable.
After the update the device will restart automatically and the result of the update can be consulted either in the device versions screen or
in the latest updates screen (consult display section).
14.1 ACCESS CONTROL
Available from firmware version 5.25.16.1: The device incorporates a management of failed accesses which after 5 consecutive
attempts to establish a connection using a wrong password, the access to that user is blocked for 10 minutes. From this moment, any
failed attempt blocks the user 10 more minutes. While a user is blocked the correct password is also not accepted to access.
The goal is to harden the system to avoid "brute-force attacks" to recover a key by trying all possible combinations until finding the one
that gains access.
There is a signal on GEN/LLN0 indicating the activation of this block for some user.
 AccAlm: Access alarm. Active when access control is blocking a user.
In addition, all FTP accesses are registered in a log file located in /config/SYSTEM_LOG folder called ftp.log.
In this file, the accesses of any FTP client are recorded, indicating the source IP address and the date and time. Any uploads or
downloads of files are also recorded.

MAPPING THE UNIT’S SIGNALS, MEASUREMENTS AND METERS
15. MAPPING THE UNIT’S SIGNALS, MEASUREMENTS AND METERS

The binding of the IED internal data to the IEC 61850 data model is configured in the short address (sAddress) attribute.
The sAddr attribute allows the allocation of a short address to DO attributes. According to the IEC 61850 standard short addresses can be
used as IED internal identification for the attribute. In this scope the format of the content is private to the IED and any tool that process
the ICD/CID file shall preserve imported contents in exported SCL files.
All the signals (trips, logics, hw check, digital inputs-outputs, etc.), measurements and meters that are generated in the unit are identified
by a number that appears in the sAddress of each of these elements.
In the factory ICD configuration file, all the internal data is preconfigured, and the user cannot modified them apart from the description
texts.
For new data created at engineering phase, as control logics output data, the software configuration tool allows the creation of sAddress
values.
15.1 SIGNALS
The distribution of the unit’s signals is effected using four numbers as a base: 0, 8192, 16384, 24576. All the unit’s signals are divided
into four types, taking these four digits as references:
15.1.1 Type A signals

This type of signal refers to all those signals with sAddress identification numbers between digits 0 and 8191.
These signals include digital inputs and Goose signals.

LOGICS
16. LOGICS
This document explains the operating mode of the logics generation tool of logic devices.
The EF family’s logics are fragments of executable code generated by the user using a PC tool, both in text and graphic formats. These
logics can be defined in an IED’s data model (using iedFactory) or in a particular instance (using substationFactory or the pacFactory
settings tool).
There are two different types of logics: control logics and protection logics.
In this chapter the device logics are defined and an introduction to the configuration options is presented. For more details about the logics
configuration consult the user manual of the software configuration tool (pacFactory / energyFactorySuite).
16.1 CONTROL LOGICS
The logics can be used to customize the behaviour of an IED. For example, automatism can be added or calculations between different
magnitudes can be carried out.
The logics are run in two different tasks, each with different priorities: one for fast logics and one for slow logics.
The running time for the fast logics is 2 milliseconds. The running time for the slow logics is approximately 10 milliseconds, although
given that this is a lower priority task it may occasionally be affected by other higher priority tasks.
Each configured logic must be included in one of these two tasks, in accordance with the manner in which they are to be run – fast
logics or slow logics.
To edit a control logic from substationFactory, the user must select the corresponding IED and click on the editor icon. To edit the
control logic from pacFactory, click on the "Logics" option in the “Configuration” menu or in the side menu.
The logics are defined in program blocks called POU (program organization unit). Two of the languages defined in the IEC-61131-3
standard are offered for the creation of each POU: one textual (ST) and one graphic (FBD).
There are three types of POU, as defined in the IEC-61131-3 standard: PROGRAM, FUNCTION_BLOCK and FUNCTION. The programs are
the senior hierarchy POUs, with each one corresponding to a task to be run on the device. Each PROGRAM can refer to several
FUNCTION_BLOCK and FUNCTION. In turn, a FUNCTION_BLOCK can refer to one or more FUNCTION.
At the IED level, two PROGRAM corresponding to the two above tasks are automatically defined: one for the fast logics (FastLog) and
the other for the slow logics (SlowLog). These PROGRAM cannot be deleted nor can their names be modified. New PROGRAM cannot
be created at any level, either.
All the new signals, measurements and counters that are created in the data model must be assigned a number that appears in the
sAddress of each of these elements.
The range values are:
❑ Fast control logics signals: Value between 9344 and 9471.

❑ Slow control logics signals: Value between 25120 and 26399.
❑ Measurements: Value between 556 and 687.
❑ Counters: Value between 32 and 149.

User Manual 347
LOGICS
16.2 PROTECTION LOGICS
The various protection functions can be configured by means of settings associated to the unit’s internal signals, vg enablings or blocks.
The protection functions treat these signals as inputs, although they do not modify their value. In order to assign them a value, the
protection logics are used.
The protection logics have two main differences in relation to the control logics:
❑ The result of a protection logic is always a Boolean value, to be assigned in one of the protection function's settings.
❑ The protection logic editor has been simplified to facilitate the programming of this type of logic.
The number of available logics is defined by the unit’s data model.
Each logic signal has a value obtained from an associated logic. These logics are fragments of code created in one of the two possible
languages - ST (text) or FBD (graphic). The corresponding language must be selected when a logic corresponding to a signal is edited for
the first time.
Each protection logic is independent from the rest and need not be included in a POU in order to be run. When a protection logic is
saved in the editor, an attempt is made to compile the information. If no error is found, a call to the logic in question is automatically
generated so that the logic is run when a CID (configured IED description) message is sent to the device or sent from pacFactory.
The protection logics are run every 2 milliseconds, as are the fast control logics.
To edit a protection logic from substationFactory, the user must select the corresponding logic signal and click on the editor icon. This
icon has three statuses to indicate the status of the corresponding logic:
Icon Logic statuses:

No logic has been edited for this signal. The value of the signal will be 0 (false).
Logic edited and ready to be run.
Logic edited, but with errors. Logic will not be run.
The following image shows a detail of the expander with four signals with logic signals of different statuses:
Details of the expander with protection logic signals
To edit a protection logic from pacFactory, click on the "Protection Logics" option in the “Configuration” menu or in the side menu.
A screen with a list of the available protection logic signals, along with the logic’s status icon and an access button for each logic’s
editor, will be shown.

User Manual 348
LOGICS
Details of the protection logics list in pacFactory
16.3 DATABASE SIGNALS
All of the IED’s database signals, measurements, meters and commands can be accessed as readings from the logics (the data model’s
basic data with valid sAddress). There is a set of data within this database that can be modified from the control logics:
Signal type Description

Critical signals Digital signals that can be modified from the fast task (FastLog)
Non-critical signals Digital signals that can be modified from the slow task (SlowLog)
Measurements Floating point data that can be modified from both tasks
Meters Whole numbers that can modified from both tasks
Commands Commands can only be generated from the slow task (SlowLog)
Both the data’s value and its quality can be accessed. If data is modifiable from the logic, the same will apply to the value and the
quality.
The data that can be modified from the logic may be preset in the unit's data model or they can be configured in the engineering
phase.
Only the status of the signal to which the logic in question is associated can be modified from the protection logics.
16.4 OUTPUT DATA UPON POWER-UP
Output data can maintain its value after the device is powered off and on.
In the logics, user can define variables of type RETAIN, which have the property of remaining with the value that they had before the
power off of the device.

User Manual 349
LOGICS
The maximum size allowed for all the logics of each group (protection and control) is 96 bytes. This means that if the variables that we
define with this property are of type BOOL (that is, the type associated to the logical signals) we can define a maximum of 96 RETAIN
variables.
Example of using variables in the logics:
There are global variables belonging to the model that can be used in the logic. For example all the signals like Trips or Starts of
protection functions. In the protection logics, each logic has a variable associated with it that is the output of that logic. That output is
also visible as a signal and can be sent in reports or GOOSES, assign it to a digital output, etc.
Each logic can also have internal variables. Once inside the logic editor, click on the "Show interface editor" option to see and / or add
internal variables to the logic (select the VAR tab).
A new variable can be created in 2 ways:
1.- When a non-recognized text is written in the algorithm, an assistant appears asking if you want to add it as a variable.
2.- Writing directly in the cell (if in tabular mode), as shown in next figure.
An internal variable to the logic can be made permanent selecting the RETAIN option in the Retain column.

User Manual 350
LOGICS
The initial value is optional. If it is assigned, it is the value it takes the first time the logic is executed. In the case of the variables not
marked as Retain each time the device is started, the variable is restarted with that value. In the case of Retain variables, it is only
started when the logic has been created or changed. Of course, it is highly recommended to initialize the variables.
When a "Function Block" is used in a logic, it is also considered a variable. If one of the predefined "Function Block" in the editor's right-
hand tab is dragged into the editing window, such as a SR flip-flop (SetReset), an SR1 variable of type SR is added. By activating the
option "Show interface editor" we can see how it is in the list of variables (next figure). In this case, if we want to store the internal
states of this block, we must also select the corresponding RETAIN option.
In the case of the "Function Blocks" with RETAIN option, the size in bytes used depends on the number of internal variables of that
block. In the case of the SR they are 3 bytes.
The example (previous figure) is a simple logic in graphic language to demonstrate how to make permanent the internal state of a SR
flip-flop.

User Manual 351
IEC 61850 COMMANDS
17. IEC 61850 COMMANDS
17.1 RUNNING IEC 61850 COMMANDS
Commands can be issued for controllable elements (elements whose functional constraint is “CO”) that may
belong to different Data classes (detailed in IEC 61850-7-3). Control class model implemented by the IED are:
❑ Controllable single point (SPC)

❑ Controllable double point (DPC)
❑ Controllable enumerated status (ENC)
The device implements the following services defined by IEC 61850 standard:
❑ Select (Sel) / SelectWithValue (SelVal)

❑ Cancel
❑ Operate (Oper)
❑ CommandTermination (CmdTerm)
The structure required to operate the command has the following fields:
❑ CtlVal. Command value. The type will be different, in accordance with element’s the CDC (Common
Data Class).
❑ Origin. It includes information about the origin of the command, divided into two fields:
 orCat. Origin category. Indicates the type of origin that issues the command (local, substation,
remote command, etc.)
 orIdent. Octect string that allows the identification of the command origin.
❑ CtlNum. It is the sequence number of the command.
❑ T: The timestamp when the command was generated.
❑ Test: It defines whether the control service request is going to be used with test purposes or not.
❑ Check: Delimits the kind of checkup that must be performed to the command before running it.
Because the Ingepac EF device implements edition 2 of the IEC61850 standard but maintains compatibility with the existing
configurations of edition 1, the differences in the data used to track orders are explained below:
In addition to informing of the changes in the status signals of the elements on which the commands are to be run,
the reports also provide information on the changes in the status of the two data associated with the command
process itself: OpOpnOr and OpClsOr.
These data have four possible statuses:
Table 199 OpOpnOr and OpClsOr statuses
Value Explanation enum

STANDBY Command in standby 0
IN PROGRESS Command in process 1
SUCCESSFUL Command run successfully 2
UNSUCCESSFUL Failure in running of command 3
For opening commands in general, OpClsOr remains in STANDBY, the sequence for OpOpnOr would be STANDBY -
IN PROGRESS - SUCCESSFUL / UNSUCCESSFUL – STANDBY. In the case of a closure command, OpOpnOr would
remain in standby and OpClsOr would continue the complete sequence. If the command’s CtlModel indicates that

User Manual 352
the command has normal security, no return information is available from the device and, therefore, the sequence
would be STANDBY - IN PROGRESS – STANDY.
CONFIGURACIONES USING ED2:
In the second edition of IEC61850 standard, three new data elements are defined in order to follow the command
process: opOk, OpRcvd and tOpOk. These new elements have a new functional constraint, “OR”.
OpRcvd is activated upon the reception of a command and deactivated about 10 milliseconds later.
OpOk is activated at the same time as the command pulse (the pulse that will afterwards be transmitted to a digital
output, for example) and tOpOk shows the timestamp when opOk was activated.
OpOk and OpRcvd may be set as RS signals, editing their sAddr in the CID using the configuration tool. In this way,
their values will be refreshed in the internal database and will be available for internal logics.
In addition to these elements, it is also possible to generate a series of indications, through signals from the
database, to provide complementary information on the return of the orders.
In the logical nodes where it is necessary to have this return information of the controls, the normative class has
been extended defining the following data objects with CDC = "ACT", which in turn includes the optional data
"originSrc".
❑ OpOpnPrg / OpClsPrg: Execution of opening and closing controls (order in progress).

❑ OpOpnFail / OpClsFail: Failure of opening and closing controls (command failure).
The configuration for the use of these return signals is done through the configuration tool, through the sAddr field
of the command itself. However, the return signals have an RS type sAddr.
In both configurations, upon completion of an order execution, part 7-2 of the IEC 61850 standard defines the possible
reasons for termination. The following table lists the AddCause values used by the device:

In this case, after receiving a selection request the selection's permission is checked and, when applicable, a
positive response is sent. At that moment a timer starts. This timer will cancel the selection after the sboTimeOut
timeout ends. If an operate request is received before the conclusion of the timeout, the same process as
described for the direct commands with normal security is followed.
If the selection is not accepted, the response will be negative and the process is concluded.
17.1.3 DIRECT_WITH_ENHANCED_SECURITY (3)

When the command’s ctlModel is DIRECT_WITH_ENHANCED_SECURITY (3), the process starts exactly as the
direct commands with normal security, as shown in the diagram below:
Figure 198 Direct command process with enhanced security
Operate

operation
Origin, blocks…
Operate
Response
Command
Termination
After sending the operate request to the device, the return information of the element on which the command is
executed is expected, so that the device can inform the client throught a Command Termination if the operation
has been successfully executed.
If the device’s return information is received before the conclusion of the operTimeout (the maximum execution
time) and the position requested has been reached, the IED then sends to the client a positive Command
Termination.
If the operTimeout time is exceeded without having received the information from the device, or if it is received but
the position requested has not been reached, the Command Termination will be negative. In this case, the cause
of the failure of the command will be included in the AddCause field.
17.1.4 SBO_WITH_ENHANCED_SECURITY (4)
The ctlModel SBO_WITH_ENHANCED_SECURITY (4) includes, in addition to the enhanced security process of
the commands modelled as DIRECT_WITH_ENHANCED_SECURITY, the SelectWithValue service in order to
select the command before operate. In this way, it is verified that the value sent in the selection process is the
same as the one sent during the execution. The scheme to be followed is:

Similarly to direct orders with enhanced security, if the order fails, the cause of the failure is reported in the

User Manual 357
17.2 COMMAND BLOCKS
The commands sent to the device can be blocked for different reasons in which the execution cannot be allowed.
In part 7-2, of the IEC 61850 standard, the possible reasons for failure of a command are detailed.
The following subsections describe the different blocks implemented by the device.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The order of these sections matches exactly with the order of blocking verification
that the IED follows. So once a block is applied, the command will not prosper and next blocks will not be
checked.
17.2.1 Command blocks by inconsistent parameters

The parameters of the command are checked to ensure that there have been no changes to them.
This block only affects commands with ctlModel SBO_WITH_ENHANCED_SECURITY (4) that are performed
through the SelectWithValue service.
The reason for command failure when this block is generated is "inconsistent parameters" (AddCause = 26).
17.2.2 Command blocks by switching hierarchy

The next possible cause of locking a command is switching hierarchy blocking (AddCause = 2). The IED
implements a hierarchy of commands that implies the blocking of the orders according to their origin and the
configuration of the device.
In the standard IEC 61850, part 7-3, it is defined the possible origins of a command that are affected by
blockages due to the switching hierarchy.
 "not-supported": Only accepted in the mode that the order hierarchy is not handled.
 "remote-control": corresponds to a remote origin.
 "station-control" or "maintenance": corresponds to a console.
 "bay-control": corresponds to a console at bay / local level or to the display.
 "automatic-bay", "automatic-static" or "automatic-remote". By default, orders sent by
IEC61850 with these origins are allowed, except for the modes that strictly check the local
origin of the order (LRMode, Edition 2 and Exclusive Edition 2).
Under the section "Command blocks by interlocking" it is explained the particular operation
for these origins in H automation architectures.
 "process": Commands with this origin are not accepted in any case. The process source is
reserved for changes in the state of control elements that do not come from commands. If
there is a change in a signal associated with a command but the change of state has not
been a consequence of an order, but a spontaneous change, the order orCat will be written
to "PROCESS".
The "Remote/Local Type" setting determines how the device will behave at the moment of blocking the
commands by hierarchy. It is found in the data model as "GEN/LLN0.LRmode" or in the display under
"General configuration: Remote / Local Type". The following values are available:
Table 202. Available values for LRMode
LRmode Numeric Value

Not treated 0
Iberdrola 1
Exclusive 2
No HMI 3
ExclusiveBR 4
Edition2 5
ExclusiveEd2 6

User Manual 358

Depending on the mode selected, it can be taken into account the status of the signals GEN/LLN0.RemCtlBlk
(remote control signal status) and GEN/LLN0.Lockey (HMI signal status).
To interpret the tables in the next sections with edition 1 configurations, it is necessary to consider the first columns
according to the following relation:
❑ Loc = RemCtlBlk
❑ LocSta = Lockey
In any case, for these configurations, as the data model specific to ICD Ed2 is required, any LRMode associated with
Edition 2 is not available.

Depending on the mode selected, the MltLev setting of the LLN0 of the logical device GEN can be taken into
account, as well as the status of the Loc and LocSta signals.
MltLev is a boolean setting that can be found in the data model in "GEN/LLN0.MltLev", and indicates if more than
one level (Originator) has the switching authority. This setting only applies to Edition2 and ExclusiveEd2 modes.
Loc is a boolean status signal ("GEN/LLN0.Loc.stVal"). It shows the local status, which is unique for the device, so all
the Loc signals show always the same status (the standard defines this signal in several nodes with configured
commands). To be able to modify this state, we have two options:
 Sending a command on the RemCtlBlk ("GEN/LLN0.RemCltBlk") element. This way, every Loc signal
will be set to the same value as "GEN/LLN0.RemCltBlk.stVal".
 Configuring the LogInLR setting ("GEN/LLN0.LogInLR") to a valid signal reference, so that this signal
status stablishes the value of every Loc. It is important to note that this setting predominates over
sending the command to the RemCtlBlk element explained in the previous point. Therefore, when
this setting is configured the command over the RemCtlBlk element is not allowed.
LocSta is a boolean status signal ("GEN/LLN0.LocSta.stVal"). Its status shows if station or remote origins are
accepted, and as in the case of Loc, it is unique for the device although it may exist in several logical nodes. To
modify the status of LocSta, a command on the controllable LocSta element "GEN/LLN0.LocSta" can be issued. Every
LocSta element in the device will show the same status value.
The operating characteristics of each of the LRmode values are detailed in the following points:
❑ LRMode: Not treated
No switching hierarchy blocking on commands is applied. It is the only mode that allows commands
from the "not-supported" origin.
❑ LRMode: Iberdrola
The status of Loc and LocSta signals is taken into account. The following tables show for each
combination whether the order is blocked or allowed, depending on the origin of the order.

❑ LRMode: Exclusive
This mode of operation implies that when activating the status of the RemCtlBlk (associated with Loc),
the activation of the value of the LocSta signal is automatically generated. Deactivation is independent.
The status of Loc and LocSta signals is taken into account in this mode.
Because the activation of the RemCtlBlk signal triggers the activation of the LocSta, in the "Exclusive"
LRMode, it is not possible to reach the Loc = 1 and LocSta = 0 state from the table’s origins. It is only
possible to reach this value after a LRMode change or using "automatic" origin, however, the behavior
is exactly the same as for Loc = 1 and LocSta = 1.

* The LocSta table has not been included because is not used in this mode. The command blocks
applied will be those of RemCtlBlk.
❑ LRMode: ExclusiveBR
This is a particular case of the "Exclusive" LRMode mode. This LRMode differs in that the LocSta
variable is not activated automatically when the RemCtlBlk is activated and it is possible to modify the
LocSta if the equipment is in local mode (Loc = 1) from the same origin (bay-control).
The following tables show for each combination whether the order is blocked or allowed, depending on
the origin of the order.
Table 211. Command blocks by switching hierarchy on mode "ExclusiveBR"

Table 212. Command blocks by switching hierarchy for RemCtlBlk on mode "ExclusiveBR"

Table 213. Command blocks by switching hierarchy for LocSta on mode "ExclusiveBR"

❑ LRMode: Edition2
Only for Edition 2 configurations. If LRMode is "Edition2", the normative hierarchies of commands
described in Part 7-4 of Edition 2 of IEC61850 standard (Annex B) apply.

User Manual 361
This implies that the local origin of the command is considered strictly, so that if Loc = 1, no command
(nor selection) from IEC61850 communications is accepted regardless of what is indicated in the origin
field (even if it is a bay-level console and commands with 'bay-control' origin). Therefore, when the
equipment is in local mode (Loc = 1) only commands sent from display or logic are accepted.
In this mode, the MltLev setting of the LLN0 of the logical device GEN, as well as the status of Loc and
LocSta signals, is used to determine if a command is required to be blocked by switching hierarchy.
The following table shows for each combination whether the command is blocked or allowed,
depending on the origin. This table affects all orders, including RemCtlBlk and LocSta.

* The local origin is checked strictly: Only display or logics.
❑ LRMode: ExclusiveEd2
Only for Edition 2 configurations. If the LRMode is set to "ExclusiveEd2", the command switching
hierarchy blocks are the same as in the "Edition2" case, except for the commands over the LocSta and
RemCtlBlk.
When operating a command on these two elements, the verification of the local origin is not strict, that
is, commands received from IEC61850 communications with origin 'bay-control' or 'automatic' sources
are allowed.
The following tables show the behavior of the switching hierarchy blocks on these two orders:
Table 215. Command blocks by switching hierarchy for RemCtlBlk on mode "ExclusiveEd2"

For all other commands, the local origin check remains strict, as detailed in the LRMode "Edition2"
mode.
User Manual 362
17.2.2.1 Exceptions to switching hierarchy blocks

Any order sent from the logics or from the pacFactory tool is not affected by switching hierarchy blocks.
In protection commands, hierarchy locks are the same as those in control commands, with the exception
of the following commands, that are never blocked by switching hierarchy.
 Reset commands for statistical data

 Reset commands for maximeter and minimeters
 Reset commands for energy counters
 Reset commands for queues
 Reset commands for LEDs and relays
 Battery connection/disconnection commands
In the LLN0 node of the logical device GEN the FKeysRem setting is defined. When is set to '1', it allows any
order given from the device’s display without any hierarchical blocking.
Additionally, with the configuration tool it is possible to set (in the sAddress), for each command of type SPC
and DPC, if the switching hierarchy blocks shall be avoided. It can be choosen whether this affects the
opening command, the closing command, or both.
17.2.3 Command 1 of n blocks

It ensures that multiple orders are not executed simultaneously. If a second command is received before the first
command is completed, the error is indicated as "1 of n" block (AddCause = 14).
17.2.4 Command blocks by mode (Mod/Beh)

This block is performed depending on whether the test bit of the received command is activated or not, and based on the
Beh status of the logic node. It has to be taken into account that the mode block is not checked in the case of making
commands over the Mod element. In case of blocking, the order is rejected with "blocked by mode" reason (AddCause =
8).
Table 217. Blocks by mode (Mod/Beh)
Command Test Bit Beh=On(1) Beh=Test(3) Beh=Off(5)

0 Allowed BLOCKED_BY_MODE BLOCKED_BY_MODE
1 BLOCKED_BY_MODE Allowed BLOCKED_BY_MODE
The IED contemplates 3 possible Beh / Mod values: 1: ON / 3: TEST / 5: OFF.
When the Beh is Off this block also applies to the selection of the command. As the test bit is not sent in the selection
request, it can not be checked in the other cases. The value Off is only defined in those logical nodes that it makes sense
to disable the node (for example protection functions).
Only with Edition2 configurations, to determine the Beh status of the logical node on which the command is executed,
different levels of hierarchy are defined:
❑ Mod of the own logical node.

❑ Mod of the LLN0 of the logical device to which the logical node belongs.
❑ Mod of the LLN0 of the logical device defined in the GrRef.
The GrRef setting is defined in the Edition2 of the standard and allows to relate a logical device to depend on a higher
hierarchy logical device. Its data type is objRef and it is found in the LLN0. The format to be used is the own logical
device concatenated to the IEDname of the installation.
The following table details the calculation of Beh of a logical node according to the different levels of hierarchy. The
GrRef can have an empty value and therefore considered unconfigured (NC):

17.2.5 Command blocks by Heatlh

The possibility of blocking commands based on a selectable alarm signal via the configuration tool (in a sAddress field) is
available. If this alarm signal is activated, the command will be blocked by "Blocked by Health" reason (AddCause = 13).
It is possible to set a different configuration for each command.
17.2.6 Command blocks by Interlocking

In IEC61850 Edition 2 configurations, the blocks by interlocking (EnaOpn/EnaCls) are only checked if the command is
issued with the “interlock-check” bit activated. If not, the command will not be checked against this blocking conditions.
On the other hand, in edition 1 configurations or other protocols different than IEC61850, the block by interlocking is
always checked.
The standard defines that the signals of the CILO logical nodes shall be used, but using the configuration tool it is
allowed to select these or any other signal in a generic way to perform the interlocking block. Signals can be set for both
the opening and closing blocks. The reason for the failure associated with this type of block is the "blocked by
Interlocking" (AddCause = 10).
In addition, within interlocking blocks, there is a check for installations in H automation architectures. This configuration is
performed using the configuration tool (automation signal sAddress field). When this signal is configured, the following
logic is followed:
❑ Automation signal activated:

 Only commands whose origin is "automatic" are accepted.
❑ Automation signal deactivated:
 Commands whose origin is "automatic" will be blocked.
For this section it is important to take into account the order followed to check the blocks, so that for example, with
LRMode configured to Edition2, and with the IED in local mode, automatic orders will be blocked by switching hierarchy
before reaching this kind of block.
17.2.7 Commands blocks due to invalid/reached position

The IED allows configuring blocks on commands based on the status of the item on which the order is intended and
taking into account whether an opening or closing is sent.

User Manual 364
These blocks are configured through the configuration tool (in a sAddress field) indicating the desired operating mode for
each command.
The commands will be blocked in accordance with the following table:

Table 219 Blocks in accordance with the command mode
Estado invalido /
Open status Close status
desconocido
Open Close Open Close Open Close
Command Mode 0 / -1 ALLOWED ALLOWED ALLOWED ALLOWED ALLOWED ALLOWED
Command Mode 1 BLOCK (1) ALLOWED ALLOWED BLOCK (1) BLOCK (2) BLOCK (2)
Command Mode 2 BLOCK (1) ALLOWED ALLOWED BLOCK (1) ALLOWED BLOCK (2)
Command Mode 3 ALLOWED ALLOWED ALLOWED BLOCK (1) ALLOWED BLOCK (2)
Thus, the blocks marked with (1) are blocks by "position reached" (AddCause = 5) and those marked with (2) are by
"invalid position" (AddCause = 4).
17.3 COMMANDS FOR OTHER POSITIONS
The configuration of these commands is related to the protocol by which they are propagated.
When the command is configured as a command of another device or UCL, the order will be sent to the corresponding
device behaving as a direct order with normal security (ctlModel = 1). The check of return information, pulseConfig, timeouts
and blocks must be performed on the device to which the order belongs.
17.4 COMMAND SADDRESS
Through the sAddress fields of each command the behavior explained in some of the previous sections can be modified.
The method for modifying the sAddress fields must always be the configuration tool. Manually changing these values can
cause errors and malfunction of the associated command.
Indicatively, the sAddress of a command has the following format:
sAddr = " a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s;TX1:Language 1 text,TX2: Language 2 text "
❑ a:= O (letter corresponding to the command) / LO (Letters corresponding to the command logics)
❑ b:= Command UCL number. Maximum 4 characters.
Value 0 is used to select internal Ucl.
❑ c:= Command number. Maximum 4 characters.

Number of the first associated internal command. Each control element has two internal commands associated.
The first corresponds to the “ON” command (ctlVal = 1) and the second to the “OFF” command (ctlVal = 0). The
sAddress value has to be configured always as the number of the first command, which corresponds to the “ON”.
❑ d:= Enabling off/aperture signal number (EnaOpn). Maximum 5 characters.

Only if configured: It is the number of the signal that allows or blocks the OFF/aperture command, in case of it is
activated or deactivated respectively.
❑ e:= Enabling on/close signal number (EnaCls). Maximum 5 characters.

Only if configured: It is the number of the signal that allows or blocks the ON/close command, in case of it is
activated or deactivated respectively.
❑ f:= Expected status inverted. (1 character)

When set to 1 indicates that the expected status of the signal associated with the command is inverted.

User Manual 365
❑ g:= Health signal number. Maximum 5 characters.

Only if configured: It is the number of the alarm signal that is used to block the order. If the alarm signal is not
active, the remaining locks are checked.
❑ h:= Command Mode. It accepts four possible values (0-3)

Depending on this field, the commands will be blocked for "invalid position" or "position reached". The absence of
this field or a -1 value, assumes the same operation as that corresponds to a 0 value.
The table with the explanation of each mode can be found in the corresponding blocks section.
❑ i:= H automation signal number. Maximum 5 characters.

Only if configured: If it is a valid signal number, the status of the signal is checked to know if the equipment is in
automatic or not:
 If signal value is '1', H automation is activated, so command requests over this element from any
origin that is not “automatic” will be blocked
 If signal value is '0', H automation is not activated, so command requests over this element from any
“automatic” origin will be blocked
❑ j:= UCL number of the enabling off/aperture signal (field d). Maximum 4 characters.
The value 0 is used to refer to internal ucl. If it is empty the ucl number of the command is used.
❑ k:= UCL number of the enabling on/close signal (field e). Maximum 4 characters.
❑ l:= UCL number of the H automation signal (field i). Maximum 4 characters.
❑ m:= Disable block by switching hierarchy (ON/close). 1 character.

Setting this field to value 1 disables blocks per switching hierarchy for the ON command.
❑ n:= Disable block by switching hierarchy (OFF/aperture). 1 character.

Setting this field to value 1 disables blocks per switching hierarchy for the OFF command.
❑ o:= UCL number of the H automation signal (field i). Maximum 4 characters.
❑ p: RS signal associated with return of command (only Ed2): opOpnPrg. Maximum 5 characters.
❑ q: RS signal associated with return of command (only Ed2): opClsPrg. Maximum 5 characters.
❑ r: RS signal associated with return of command (only Ed2): opOpnFail. Maximum 5 characters.
❑ s: RS signal associated with return of command (only Ed2): opClsFail. Maximum 5 characters.
The UCL associated to the four return signals of commands Ed2 is the UCL of the command itself.
❑ TX1:= Command text language1. Maximum 16 characters.
❑ TX2:= Command text language2. Maximum 16 characters.

The modification of the value of certain attributes requires the resetting of the device in order for the modification to have effect. In order
to inform of the need to manually reset of the device, the ResetDev.stVal signal has been defined within the GEN node’s LLN0. In some
cases, it is enough to send a new ICD / CID file.
For standard IEC61850 Ed1 configurations only, after a change on LGOS logical node subscription settings, the server does not require a

RECEPTION GOOSES
20. RECEPTION GOOSES

The IEC 61850 server is conforming to IEC 61850 Edition 2.
For the details of the IEC 61850 interface implementation consult the following documents for the Ingepac EF family:
❑ PICS: Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement for the IEC 61850 interface
❑ PIXIT: Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing for the IEC 61850 interface
❑ TICS: Technical Issues Implementation Conformance Statement
The Ingepac EF family maintains compatibility with the existing ICDs developed following Edition 1. The last point of this section
describes the GOOSEs subscription for that case. The remaining points refer to functionalities associated with Edition 2
configurations.
20.1 GOOSE SUBSCRIPTION
According to IEC 61850 Edition 2 the GOOSE subscription is configured using the Inputs-ExtRef elements in the CID file.
The Inputs section defines all external signals that will be received via GOOSE messages from other IEDs. In this section,
each ExtRef element references to one external item and the intAddr element makes the binding of the external signal to an
IED internal configured data.
The CID file of an IED with configured GOOSE subscriptions contains several IED sections. The IED section of the server device itself and
IED sections from each of the IEDs sending GOOSE messages to which the device is subscribed.
These external IED sections only contain the data model needed for the subscription to reduce the size of the CID file.
LGOS logical node is used to monitor GOOSE subscriptions. There are 32 instances of LGOS logical node, which allow
monitoring up to 32 GOOSE subscriptions.
The only configuration value in the LGOS logical node is the GoCBRef (Reference to the subscribed GOOSE control block).
The monitored values are:
❑ NdsCom: Subscription needs commissioning. When true, the received GOOSE message does not conform the current
subscription configuration; either the dataSetRef is wrong, the data set members, the configuration revision number, ...
❑ St:If true, the GOOSE subscription is active, other is inactive
❑ SimSt: If true, subscribed GOOSE messages with the simulation bit set are being received and accepted
❑ LastStNum: Last state number received
❑ ConfRevNum: Expected configuration revision number of the GOOSE messages
❑ RxConfRevNum: Configuration revision number of the received GOOSE messages
The St and SimSt data are mapped to the internal database to be used in for example logics or local display. The other
values are only available through the IEC 61850 communication.
The factory CID file contains 2 logical nodes (GOOGGIO1 and GOOGGIO2) with available data for the internal binding of
the received values.
Each of these logical nodes contains:

User Manual 370
RECEPTION GOOSES
❑ 32 boolean signals (Ind1 to Ind32 data)

❑ 4 dbpos signals (DPSInd1 to DPSInd4 data)
❑ 4 float values (AnIn1 to AnIn4 data)
In models with the "Extended control" option the IED data model can be extended with more logical nodes in the control
logical device for internal binding of the data received in GOOSE messages.
Extension capacity:
❑ Signals: Up to a total of 1024 internal signals (including the 2 GOOGGIO nodes) and taking into account that the dbpos
signals occupy 4 internal signals.
❑ Measures: Up to a total of 256 measures (float values).
As established in Edition 2 of the standard, it is possible to subscribe to both data attributes and data objects. The recommendation
following criteria of efficiency and response time is to use data attributes in GOOSE messages. In any case, the device supports the
subscription to data objects of the following CDCs:
❑ Status: SPS, DPS, ENS, ACT, ACD.

❑ Measured: MV, CMV, WYE, DEL, SEQ, DEL y SEQ.
❑ Controllable: SPC, DPC, ENC.
For more information about the GOOSE subscription configuration process consult the software tool manual
(energyFactorySuite/pacFactory).
20.2 GOOSE SIMULATION
The device implements the GOOSE simulation mode defined in the IEC 61850 Edition 2.
This mode allows the simulation of any GOOSE that is present in the communication network so that two GOOSES with the same
information data will be present at the same moment, the real one without the simulation bit active and the simulated one with the
simulation bit active. If the subscriber is in simulation mode, once it has received the first simulation GOOSE its values will be used
instead of the values of the original GOOSE.
Therefore, if the device is in simulation mode, it still accepts 'original' GOOSE messages, and only discards the 'original' GOOSE
messages for those GOOSEs which are simulated.
Simulation mode is enabled with the controllable data "Sim" included in the LPHD logical node in the GEN logical device.
In each LGOS logical node, used to monitor GOOSE subscription, the SimSt status shows with TRUE value that subscribed GOOSE
messages with the simulation bit set are being received and accepted.
When the subscriber is not in simulation mode (GEN/LPHD.Sim.stVal=false) the simulated GOOSEs are ignored. The device keep on
using the "real" GOOSE messages.
When the subscriber is in simulation mode (GEN/LPHD.Sim.stVal=true) the simulated GOOSEs are used for operational purposes. The
device ignore the "real" GOOSE messages after a first simulated one has been received. The corresponding LGOS.SimSt is set when the
first simulated message is received and only cleared when LPHD.Sim.stVal is set to false.
Once the device has received a simulated message for one of the subscribed GOOSE messages, it will not process the real one until the
simulation mode of the device (LPHD.Sim.stVal) is set to false.

It is possible to enable a GOOSE transmission simulation mode with the "TestEna" and "LogInTest" setpoints, included in GEN\LPHD
logical node:
❑ TestEna: If this setpoint is TRUE enables the GOOSE transmission simulation mode
❑ LogInTest: This setpoint allows to configure a signal which, when active, enables the GOOSE transmission simulation mode
In this mode all the GOOSEs transmitted by the device have the simulation field with TRUE value and the mode is indicated in the status
data GEN\LPHD.TestSt.
The following logic for the two configuration setpoints is used:
❑ TestEna=FALSE : TestSt=FALSE
❑ TestEna=TRUE and LogInTest=(not configured) : TestSt=TRUE
❑ TestEna=TRUE and LogInTest=(Signal data with value=TRUE) : TestSt=TRUE
❑ TestEna=TRUE and LogInTest=(Signal data with value=FALSE) : TestSt=FALSE

20.3 TEST MODE
The device implements the Test mode defined in the IEC 61850 Edition 2.
Switching between the modes (Mod.stVal) only happen as a result of an operator command to the data object Mod.
The values of Mod and Beh that are used are:
❑ On:
❑ The application represented by the LN works.
❑ All communication services work and get updated values.
❑ Control commands with test bit will be rejected with AddCause "Blocked-by-mode".
❑ Test:
❑ The application represented by the LN works.
❑ All communication services work and get updated values.
❑ Data objects will be transmitted with quality “test”.
❑ Control commands with test bit will be accepted only by LNs in “test” mode.
❑ Off:
❑ The application represented by the LN doesn’t work.
❑ No process output is possible. No control command should be acknowledged (negative response).
❑ Data objects will be transmitted with quality “invalid”.
❑ Only the data object Mod and Beh should be accessible by the services.
On-blocked and test/blocked values are not supported.
20.3.1 Logical devices management hierarchy

Logical devices or LD, are used to represent a group of typical automation, protection or other functions. The functions
are defined as logical nodes contained and managed in logical devices. The hierarchy determines how the mode (e.g.
On, Off, Test …) of these functions and sub-functions is managed, so that a change in the value of the mode at higher
level influences the lower levels.
LLN0 of the logical devices that can be configured with a hierarchy contains a setting data named GrRef whose type is
objRef.
In order to configure a hierarchy the format of the GrRef value must be set with the name of the higher level logical device
concatenated to the IEDname of the installation. It is also possible that it is not configured.
The device implements the hierarchy on these logical devices:
❑ CTRL: Control functions (only present in devices with "Extended control")

❑ GEN: General functions
❑ PROT: Protection functions
GEN is considered the main logical node and its LLN0 logical node does not have the GrRef setting. CTRL and PROT
logical devices can be configured with a hierarchy.
So the typical hierarchy configuration is to assign the GEN logical device as higher level of CTRL and PROT. In this case, the
functions of CTRL and PROT logical devices are considered sub-functions of the GEN logical node and if the mode of
the GEN logical device is modified (GEN/LLN0.Mod) it will affect the CTRL and PROT logical devices also.

User Manual 373
RECEPTION GOOSES
The mode of the LNs in any logical device may be changed individually with its own Mod, or globally by means of LLN0 of
each logical device. Only changes in GEN/LLN0.Mod will affect the other logical devices that are configured as lower level
in the hierarchy.
For more details about how hierarchy affects commands behaviour, consult on this manual the "Command Blocks: Commands
blocks by mode (Mod/Beh)" section.
20.4 SERVICE TRACKING
Service tracking is represented by the logical node LTRK and is defined as the function in charge of recording the
parameters values used by any service defined in IEC 61850-7-2 (after a service execution). It is thus possible to read, report
or log these values for system behavior analysis.
The trigger option for these data is "data-update", so it has to be configured in the associated control block if, for example, it is
included in a report.

20.5 SUBSTITUTION MODEL
It allows to establish individually the values of some data that are sent through the protocol IEC61850.
Usually, input from the process or the result of the calculation from a function provides the value of a data (in that case, the
source is called "process"). In case of substitution model, the value of the data may be provided by an operator making use
of an IEC 61850 client.
Substitution model is available for the following common data classes:
❑ SPS (Single Point Status)

❑ DPS (Double Point Status)
❑ INS (Integer Status)
❑ SPC (Single Point Control)
❑ DPC (Double Point Control)
❑ MV (Measured Value)
❑ CMV (Complex Measured Value)
The IEC 61850 standard does not define the substitution model for other classes like ACT (Protection activation
information), ACD (Directional protection activation information), VSS (Visible String Status) or any of the settings classes.
Data classes that allow substitution have an attribute "subEna". If it is set to TRUE, the value of the data used for the IEC
61850 communications is the value configured in the following attribute (depending on the data type):

User Manual 377
RECEPTION GOOSES
❑ Value:
❑ subVal: SPS, DPS, INS, SPC, DPC
❑ subMag: MV
❑ subCVal: CMV
❑ Quality: The attribute "subQ" is the value used to substitute the data attribute q. When subEna is true, the source quality
bit substituted is always set.
On measurement data substitution, the value is checked against the configuration of the measure (max, min, db …) so the
substituted value is affected by such configuration.
It is the responsibility of the client application, in particular in the case of multiple attributes to be substituted, to set the
relevant substitution values before enabling substitution, as well as, disable substitution on all substituted values.
The substituted values only apply to the IEC 61850 communication values. These means that the substituted values are not
used in the logics or protection functions of the device.
There are several data with a special behavior for which the substitution of the value affects to the behaviour of the
IEC61850 server:
❑ BlkGoose.stVal: It allows blocking the transmission of all gooses.

❑ TestSt.stVal: It allows enabling the simulation bit in transmitted gooses.
❑ Sim.stVal: It allows activating the simulation mode.
Also defined in the substitution model, it is available the attribute "subID". When the substitution is activated, the device
automatically sets the subId to the IP address of the client device that activated the substitution. After this moment, the client can
write any other string to identify itself. Later when substitution is deactivated, the value is modified to a fixed empty string. In
conclusion, this attribute can be only modified after setting subEna to true.
20.6 FILE TRANSFER
The IED implements the IEC61850 MMS file services. Following the Edition 2 of the IEC61850 standard, the structure of files and
directories is based on a FLAT FILESYSTEM with pseudofolders. This means that it is not accessed through folders, it is only allowed to
read the root directory where all the existing files in the different subfolders are shown concatenating the path to the file name.
The available permissions are the same as those of the user 'ftpuser', and only writing the pseudofolder /SCL/notvalidated/ is allowed.
This behavior is used from firmware version 6.0.17.0 for both Edition 1 and Edition 2 configurations. In firmware versions prior to this
(only Edition 1 configurations were supported) the file and directory structure is based on folders, being able to access and read each
one separately.
20.7 EDITION1 SUBSCRIPTION. LGOS MODEL.
Only for ICD configured as Ed1: This model makes it possible to configure and supervise the complete status of each reception goose
within a single logical node.
Each goose subscription is associated with one LGOS logical node wich contains the configuration for that subscription, so there can be
as many subscriptions as LGOS logical nodes in the data model. The factory CID file contains up to 32 LGOS logical nodes that allow the
subcription to up to 32 goose messages.
To use the received data in the goose message they must be mapped to LGOS data. Each LGOS has:
❑ 17 boolean signals (Ind1 to Ind17 data)

❑ 4 dbpos signals (DPSInd1 to DPSInd4 data)

User Manual 378
RECEPTION GOOSES
❑ 8 float values (AnIn1 to AnIn8 data)
20.7.1 Configuration values

Used to establish the desired subscription parameters for each goose.
To create a subscription it must be configured:
❑ Configuration data of the Goose message to subscribe.

❑ Data assignment: Each data from the received Goose message can be assigned to one data in the LGOS logical node
in which the received value will be copied.
Table 225 LGOS model configuration values
ConfRev.setVal Must match the value received in the goose.
GoCBRef.setRef The goose reference to which we subscribe.
GoDatSetRef.setRef The reference of the dataset to which we subscribe.
GoID.setVal The identifier of the goose to which we subscribe.
The reference to the signal in which the goose element established by the InRef index is
InRef[..].intAddr
received. It must be a mapped signal within the goose signals range.
MAC.setVal The multicast MAC to which we subscribe.
These values, apart from the “intAddr” for the internal data assignement, must be the same ones received in the Goose message.
The data mapping is configured with the InRef data (InRef1 to InRef34). The InRef index indicates the reception goose data position
associated with that InRef (InRef1 associated to first goose data, InRef2 associated to second goose data, etc.)
In the InRefx.intAddr attibute must be configured the LGOS data in which the value will be copied. The value must be:
❑ Boolean signals: Indx.stVal / Indx.q

❑ Dbpos signals: DPSIndx.stVal / DPSIndx.q
❑ Float values: AnInx.mag.f / AnInx.q
If in the Goose message the qualities of the data are also received they must be assigned to a “q” data of one of the LGOS node
data, like the rest of the Goose data.
To configure this assignment the user must know the format of the data of the Goose message because the selected data in the
LGOS node to copy the received value must have the same format.
Each LGOS logical node in the the factory CID data model has 34 InRef data so the device can subscribe to Gooses with up to 34
elements.
For example if the configured value is InRef3.intAddr = Ind2.stVal this means that the third value in the received goose (that must
be a boolean value) will be copied to the LGOSx.Ind2.stVal data.
The software tool allows configuring these goose subscritpions manually or automatically (for more information consult the
pacFactory software tool manual).

RECEPTION GOOSES
20.7.2 Supervision values

They indicate information about the status of the goose subscription at all times. The status signal conditions the updating of the
rest of the Data. If the status is incorrect, the rest of the signals will not be updated with the values received.
Table 226 LGOS model supervision values
St.stVal Subscription status. Value “1” indicates that the subscription was successful.
Sim.stVal Activated when the subscription is received in test mode.
NdsCom.stVal Activated when the subscription has the “Needs Commissioning” flag activated.
LastStNum.stVal The last status number received.
ConfRevNum.stVal The configuration revision received.
Note: Only the St data is mapped to the internal database to be used in for example logics or local display. The other values are
only available through the IEC 61850 communication.
20.7.3 Checked values

The following values are checked to decide if the goose message is valid:
❑ TAL (Time Allowed to Live) not zero

❑ MAC multicast
❑ Dataset
❑ GoCBRef
❑ GoID
It is also checked that the types of each goose data mach the types of the LGOS data in which they will be copied.

❑ Link failover redundancy (both ethernet ports used)
The configuration of each network can be made:
❑ From the device Display (see section of the display).

❑ From PacFactory configuration tool (see user manual pacFactory).

User Manual 381
Redundant Link indications are only used in the case of redundant communications. In non-redundant communications, the link
indications are shown in the Eth1ALink and Eth2ALink data.
In the link failover redundancy the link indications are shown in the Eth1ALink and Eth1BLink data.
21.2 COMMUNICATIONS REDUNDANCY
The device has several options of physical communications redundancy divided into two hardware solutions:
❑ PRP / HSR / Switch mode (Options O and P of the commercial code)

❑ Link redundancy (Options I, J and K of the commercial code)
When the device has the PRP/HSR/Switch mode module, the user can configure any of the three options or consult the configured
option from the local display (Initial menu - Communications - Configuration PRP / HSR / Sw) or from the web server of the device
(Maintenance menu - Communications - IP network configuration).
21.2.1 PARALLEL REDUNDANCY PROTOCOL (PRP)

The PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) is a redundancy communication protocol defined in the IEC 62439-3 standard and it is one
of the redundancy mechanism recommended in IEC 61850 networks.
In the PRP protocol the device use two redundant ethernet ports and the protocol is based on the simultaneous transmission and
reception of data via both independent ports.
In PRP solutions two independent ethernet networks are used. Each device is attached to both networks and sends and receives all
the frames over both LANs simultaneously, consumes the first frame and discards the duplicate. With this mechanism PRP ensures
zero-packet loss and zero recovery time upon single network failures.
The two LANs have no connection between them and are assumed to be fail-independent, both are identical in protocol at the
MAC-LLC level, but they can differ in performance and topology.
With the PRP protocol additional information called RCT (Redundancy Control Trailer) is added to the Ethernet frame at the link
layer in order to control redundancy. This information is transparent for devices that do not use PRP protocol and it is used by PRP
devices to discard the duplicate frames.
Devices without PRP can be connected to one of the redundant ethernet networks but in that case they only can communicate with
the devices connected to the same network. In order to enable redundancy in non-PRP devices an external converter called RedBox
(Redundancy Box) can be used.
21.2.2 HIGH-AVAILABILITY SEAMLESS REDUNDANCY (HSR)

The HSR is a redundancy communication protocol defined in the IEC 62439-3 standard and it is one of the redundancy mechanism
recommended in IEC 61850 networks.
In the HSR protocol the device use two redundant ethernet ports and the protocol is based on the simultaneous transmission and
reception of data via both independent ports.
In the HSR networks no external switches are used, instead each device has two ring ports, and all the devices are connected in a
ring topology, with one port of the device connected to the previous device and the other connected to the following device.
For each frame to send, the device sends it duplicated over both ports. So one frame travels in the ring in the clockwise direction
and the other frame travels in counter-clockwise direction. Each direction is treated as a separate network. So if there is a failure in
one point of the network, the frames reach the destination using the other direction in the ring. With this mechanism HSR ensures
zero-packet loss and zero recovery time upon single network failure.
An HSR tag is placed at the beginning of each frame to allow early identification of frames. With this tag each device can identify
the HSR tagged traffic and reject the duplicated frames coming from the both ports of a device and the frames circulating in the
ring. When a device receives a frame directed to it or that it sent, the frame is discarded and it is not forwarded again in the ring.
The frame is also discarded if it is a frame that it already sent in the same direction (i.e. multicast frames).

User Manual 382
Devices within the ring are restricted to be HSR-capable IEDs. In order to enable redundancy in non-HSR devices an external
converter called RedBox (Redundancy Box) can be used.
21.2.3 SWITCH MODE

In the switch mode both ethernet ports act as an unmanaged switch forwarding the network traffic.
The recommended network topology would be a cascade or Daisy-chain connection without closing a communication ring because
the IED integrated switch does not implement the RSTP protocol.
21.2.4 LINK FAILOVER REDUNDANCY

With the link failover redundancy the device uses two ethernet ports for a redundant communication.
In this redundancy mode the device communicates by one of the ethernet ports and if there is a link failure in that port, switches to
the redundant port if the link status of that port is active.
If the link status of the passive port returns to normal, the communication is maintained in the active port and the devices only
change the active port in case of link failure.
In this redundancy, unlike the case of PRP redundancy, it should not be used two independent ethernet networks. The two
Ethernet ports of the equipment must be connected to different network switches, but must belong to the same network, so that
the switches should be connected at some point in the network.
This switching is almost instantaneous, allowing even Gooses redundancy without loss or minimal loss (1 repetition). Regarding
communications with IEC 61850 clients, depending on the ring reconfiguration time communications, we even could not lose the
connection or the open session.
The device has link failover redundancy status signals in the logical node LPHD1 of the GEN logic device, to indicate which of the
two channels is active and to indicate possible failures in the redundancy.

21.3 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT NETWORK CONFIGURATION
When configuring the network of the device it must be taken into account the following considerations:
❑ Basic concepta about networks:

 The format of the IP address or mask have the dotted decimal notation. The checks are performed according to this
standard.
 Addresses ending in 0 correspond to networks, not devices. For example : 192.168.200.0
 Addresses ending in 255 correspond to broadcast messages. For example : 192.168.200.255
 All network traffic for an IP address that is not included in the configured networks, will be redirected to the default
gateway configured.
❑ It is not allowed the IP address or mask 0.0.0.0.
❑ It is not allowed the IP address or mask 255.255.255.255.

User Manual 383
❑ From version 5.25.16.1 of firmware it is possible to configure several IP addresses in the same ethernet interface. For
previous versions it is not allowed.
❑ Gateways configuration:
 There can be only one default Gateway in the devices and it will be associated to a specific Ethernet interface.
 If a Gateway is configurec, the static routes for the ethernet traffic will be determined by up to 10 groups or three
parameters:
 IP address of the network or destination host. This IP address indicates the network or the device you want
to connect to.
 Network mask or destination host mask.
 Gateway IP address. It must be in the same net segment than the IP address configured in that ethernet
port; because in another way the device will not access to the gateway.
 If the IP address of the network or destination host or the mask of the network or destination host are not configured,
the default values are:
 IP address: 0.0.0.0, it will be all the networks or default gateway.
 Network Mask: 255.255.255.255, it will be all networks or default gateway.
 The configuration of gateways can only be done from the Display.
 When changing the IP address, the gateways that are no longer accessible by the new IP will be removed
permanently.
 The IP change command keeps the mask that was associated with that Ethernet interface.
 Do not configure two different Ethernet interfaces within the same network segment. When you configure
two interfaces within the same network segment, the device will use only one of them.
21.4 GOOSES
GOOSE messages (IEC 61850 peer-to-peer communications) are not on the TCP/IP layer, they are Ethernet packets and are configured
at the MAC level.
The devices subscribes to multicast MAC addresses for receiving messages and transmit to a specific Multicast MAC address.
Ethernet interface ETH0 is not ready to receive / transmit packets GOOSE.
21.5 FIREWALL
From firmware version 5.25.16.1 the device incorporates a firewall functionality through which any port in TCP/IP communications (eg
PING, FTP, sFTP, HTTP, etc.) can be blocked.
The firewall function can be enabled or disabled independently for each of the network interfaces. In case of link failover redundancy
interfaces, only the ETH1 interface shall be configured for both rear Ethernets.
Each TCP or UDP port can be configured as "closed" or "opened". When the firewall function is enabled on a network interface by
default all TCP ports are closed and those that want to be left opened must be configured. And in the case of configuring a port as open
the IP addresses from which the port will be accessible can be configured or leave it open for any IP address.
Configuration is done from the pacFactory / energyFactorySuite software tool. Refer to the user manual of the tool for more details on
the configuration.

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DEVICES 
22. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DEVICES

This section gives a general description of the communications features for teleprotection schemes and the connections needed in the
devices. It only applies to MD and ZT models with teleprotection. The general features are summarised below:
❑ 1 or 2 ports that can be selected:

 GOF, POF, RS232C, RS485
 Single-mode optical fibre with the following options:
 ST or LC type connectors.
 Scope from 20 to 120km.
 IEEE C37.94 (multi-mode OF). ST connector.
With IEEE C37.94, the port must be configured with the settings:
❑ Comm speed (bauds). 38400 bauds.

❑ Parity: "Even".
❑ Number of Stop bits: "1".
22.1 DIRECT CONNECTION (POINT-TO-POINT)
Direct connection (without a telecommunications network) between the ends can be achieved via RS-232, RS-485, multi-mode optical
fibre or single-mode optical fibre. The conditions of possible noise and interference and the distances supported are limitations which
incline towards choosing Optical Fibre.
This type of connection always involves joining the transmission channel (Tx) of one end to the reception end (Rx) of the other.
Ingepac EF devices must have the correct interfaces to permit this type of connection. The options are contained in the commercial
code (see section "Model Encoding").
The connection options via optical fibre are explained below.
22.1.1 Multimode Optical Fibre

The possible options are as follows:
Maximum
Cable Type Permitted attenuation Wavelength Connector
distance
Multi-mode glass optical fibre:
62.5/125 µm 11db 2km 820nm ST
50 /125 µm 9dB
Multi-mode optical fibre:
V-Pin connector
200Μm HCS (silicone) 22dB 1.9 km 660nm
(HP standard)
1Mm plastic 24.7db 115 m
22.1.2 Single-mode optical fibre

The possible options are as follows:
Permitted Maximum Minimum

Cable type Wavelength Connector
attenuation distance distance
Single-mode optical fibre LC duplex
30db 60 Km 1 Km 1310nm, Laser
9/125 nm ST
Single-mode optic fibre LC duplex
40db 120 Km 20 Km 1550nm, Laser
9/125 nm ST
N.B.:

User Manual 385
It is highly recommended that you use attenuators if you are going to connect single-mode optical fibre cables shorter than the
length indicated as the minimum distance. Attenuators should be placed at the transmitter output (connector Tx).
22.2 CONNECTION WITH COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES (MULTIPLEXER)
Connections via a telecommunications network are made using communications devices which permit the connection of Ingepac EF
devices to the network, establishing a virtual link between them. These devices are called multiplexers (MUX) or Pulse Code
Multiplexers (PCM). They use standard protocols such as:
❑ IEEE-C37.94 (Optical Fibre Interface)

❑ UIT-G.703 (Galvanical Interface)
22.2.1 IEEE-C37.94 Interface

This interface offers the possibility of using up to twelve 64 Kbs channels each. If a device needs to send at a higher speed (always
Nx64), N channels of the ones available will need to be occupied. It provides a connection via multi-mode optical fibre.
The port used with this communication must be configured with 38400 baud, even parity and 1 stop bit.
There are different user options for this interface:
❑ Direct connection to a MUX device which uses this standard.

❑ Connection to an external optocoupler device (C37.94 optical to G.703 electrical interface converter).
From the perspective of Ingepac EF, the two cases are identical and no special adjustment needs to be made.
In the second case, information will be needed to adapt the optocoupler device. The section gives a practical example of using
external converter devices.
The characteristics of multi-mode optical fibre for this connection are as follows:
Permitted Maximum
Cable type Wavelength Connector
attenuation distance
Multi-mode glass optical fibre:
62.5/125 µm 13db 2km 850nm ST
50/125 µm 9dB
22.3 EXAMPLE OF CONNECTING A C37.94 - G.703 CONVERTER
This section describes how to connect an Ingepac EF device to a multiplexer using an external C37.94 to G.703 converter. This
optocouplers or converter devices can be used to connect to MUX for access to SDH and PDH networks.
The G.703 standard has different interfaces: E0 (64Kbs), E1 (2Mb), etc. Hence, there are different C37.94 to G703 converters for
converting to E0, to non-structured E1, to structured E1, etc.
22.3.1 C37.94 - G.703 E1 2Mb Converter.

This example indicates the steps for installing the 21-219, C37.94 to structured G.703 E1 converter.

User Manual 386
As a general rule, connect the Tx transmission line of the Ingepac EF-LD device to the Rx reception line of the device and vice versa.
In 21-219 devices, you can use two C37.94 channels, but in this example, we will limit ourselves to using Channel 0.
In this device, the part of the G.703 E1 2Mb interface consists of two BNC 75 Ohm connectors for connection to the MUXs. If two
21-219 converters are to be connected to each other, output Tx of one must go to input Rx of the other and vice versa.
Configuring the clock source for G.703 synchronisation.
There are different alternatives for defining the master clock used in the G.703 standard:
❑ Network’s master clock.

SDH networks have a precise master clock for keeping a system quite safe with a very low error rate. In this case, 21-219
converter devices can be synchronised with the network’s master clock. To do this, the MUXs must be configured so that
re-synchronisation and a telegram format compatible with the G.704 standard is permitted.
In terms of the 21-219 converters, the external clock source must be configured for synchronisation in both devices. To do
this, there is a rotational switch on the front of the 21-219 which allows you to select the clock source, amongst other
items. In this case, the switch must be set to “0”, which is the default configuration.
❑ Master clock of one of the 21-219 devices.

The internal clock of one of the 21-219 devices can be used as the master clock. This option is applicable to a test phase, in
which the converters are connected to each other with a crossed G.703 connection (without multiplexers).
To achieve this, the internal clock source in only one of the 21-219 devices must be configured so that there is only one
master clock. In this case, the rotational switch must be set to position “1”.

User Manual 387
The other 21-219 devices must be configured with the external clock option as indicated in the previous section.
Also, this option must be applied when the network does not provide such a precise clock (e.g. PDH networks) and the
multiplexers are configured so that they do not interfere with synchronisation (functioning in transparent mode).
22.3.2 C37.94 - G.703 E0 Converter.

For the converter to the G703 E0 (64Kbs) standard, 21-216, the steps are practically the same. In this case, the G.703 interface is an
RJ45 codirectional port. Twisted pair cables must be used. If you want to connect the two 21-216 devices to each other, a specific
crossed cable must be made.
The list of pins in the RJ45 port is as follows:
RJ45 pin Signal

1 Tx + (TIP-out)
2 Tx - (RING-out)
4 Rx + (TIP-in)
5 Rx - (RING-out)

KEYBOARD AND GRAPHIC DISPLAY 
23. KEYBOARD AND GRAPHIC DISPLAY
23.1 GENERAL OPERATION
23.1.1 Display structure

The screens are grouped into the following types:
❑ Graphic pages. Only available in models featuring "extended monitoring functions".

❑ I/O pages
❑ Secuence of Events (SOE)
❑ Protection events pages
❑ Alarm pages. Only available in models featuring "extended monitoring functions".
❑ Device status pages
❑ Fault pages. Not available in CDx models.
❑ Measurements pages. Only available in CD1 y CD2 models
❑ Grouping of other screens
Each display type has its own treatment.
There are also menu pages (which include the protection, control and general settings, such as the date and time, password, FW
versions, etc.), which are treated differently to those mentioned above.
23.1.2 Organization of the pages

The pages are organized into screen types, whose order of presentation is configurable using an external tool. The tool also enables
the unit’s start page to be assigned. The keys “(Left), →(Right)” allow the user to scroll through the different screen types
defined as main screens. The screens can be scrolled in both directions: upon reaching the last screen type the display returns to
the first screen, and vice-versa.
By clicking on the “ (Up),  (Down)” keys in any screen, the screens belonging to the same type are shown. The I/O, SOE, and fault
pages are presented in a preconfigured order. However, in the graphic and alarm screens the presentation order is defined using an
external tool.
If, when in any screen belonging to specific type, we press “(Left), →(Right)”, the following screen type is displayed whilst the
screen position remains within the type in question. Thus, when scrolling through the screen types the last screen types selected
when exiting a specific type are shown.
If no keys are pressed within a period greater than 5 minutes, the unit returns to the start page and the first page of each type is
selected.
By pressing on <ESC> from any screen we return to the start page, whilst the current page of each screen type is maintained.
There is a special screen type called “Menu to Other Screens” that contains an index of screens not considered important enough
to have been defined as main screens and which enables access to the same. This screen is configurable via a PC tool.
By pressing <MENU> from within any screen, the first page of the settings menus is displayed.
The possibility of multi-language is available.
Device with IP protection covers
If the unit is fitted with an IP protection cover, only certain buttons will be accessible from the front, depending on the model in
question:

User Manual 389
❑ Preset Keys (1/2 chassis – 5U and 19” chassis – 4U)

The only keys available are I, O, SEL, INF and DES.
The INF button allows the different screens to be displayed in a circular mode, whilst the order is configurable via a PC tool.
❑ Functional Keys (1/2 chassis – 5U and 19” chassis – 4U)

The only keys available are I, O, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 and the DOT key.
The DOT button allows the different screens to be displayed in a circular mode, whilst the order is configurable via a PC tool.
23.1.3 Treatment of the functional keys

The functional keys are configured with the PC tool, with the control and associated status being configured for each key. In
addition there is a check box to reverse the status of the signal associated with the functional key. This option only applies to
Boolean (not double) signals.
The possible values of the status signal associated to the functional key and its corresponding representation via the LEDs are:
❑ Not configured: the 2 LEDs OFF.

❑ Unknown Status: the 2 LEDs OFF.
❑ OFF Status: upper LED OFF and lower LED ON.
❑ ON Status: upper LED ON and lower LED OFF.
❑ Invalid Status: the 2 LEDs ON.
The functional keys have 3 operating modes configurable by setting “GEN/LLN0/FbuttType”:
❑ “Functional keys” Mode:

 By pressing the key, the associated item is selected and the corresponding LED or LEDs blink.
 Once the item has been selected, the associated command can be executed by pressing the “I” or “O” keys.
 Once the above-mentioned key has been pressed, the unit executes the command and the lit LED or LEDs cease to
blink.
 Once a command has been executed, the status of the associated LED or LEDs is updated. In case of a failure, a
window indicating the cause of the failure will appear in the display.
❑ “Command 52 + Functional” Mode:

 By pressing the key, the associated item is selected and the corresponding LED or LEDs blink.
 Once the item is selected, depending on its status one of this windows is shown:
 ON Status: displays the confirmation window for the OFF command.
 OFF Status: displays the confirmation window for the ON command.
 Unknown / Undetermined Status: Displays the confirmation window for the two possible ON and OFF
commands. With the " (Up) or  (Down)" keys the desired command is selected and with the  (Enter) key
the command confirmation window appears. With the "ESC" key to exit the selection screen.
 Once a command has been executed, the status of the associated LED or LEDs is updated. In case of a failure, a
window indicating the cause of the failure will appear in the display.
❑ “Command Confirmation” Mode:

 The operation is the same as the "Functional Keys" mode but with the particularity that every time the user executes
an command (I / O buttons) a confirmation message will appear on the display (pressing the ENTER key executes the
command and Pressing ESC cancels).

User Manual 390
This mode will be applied for both the graphical screens commands and the functional key commands (contemplating
that we can be in any of the display screens)
NOTE 1: To change this setting from the display, the settings menu is accessed and in the initial menu select the 'general settings'
menu and press the ENTER key. Within this node, the setting is 'Command Type'. The 'With confitmation' option is selected and the
settings are validated.
NOTE 2: When a function key has not a configured signal but it has a configured command the 2 LEDs remain OFF until the function
key is pressed. At that moment the 2 LEDs start blinking.

26.3 TABLES
There are 3 tables to configure the list of digital signals, measurements and commands.
26.3.1 Digital signals table

Each digital signal device is identified in the IEC60870-5-103 protocol by the pair of fields Function Type and Information Number.
For each element the following fields must be configured with the software configuration tool:
❑ Type: Tipe of signal. Simple or double.

 Simple. (Default)
 DP
❑ CIN: Signal incidence code:
 SP→Value change in simple signaling. (Default)
 DP Open→ If the field Type = DP: Change in the calculated signal giving the 01 or open state of a double signal.
 DP Closed→ Change in the calculated signal giving the 10 or closed state of a double signal.
 DP Intermediate→ Change in the calculated signal giving the state 00 or intermediate of a double signal.
 DP Indeterminate→ Change in the calculated signal that gives the 11 or indeterminate of a double signal.
❑ Function type: Function type field of the signal. In the case that the signal belongs to the compatible range, (128,
160, 176 o 192), it should be configured a value of 0. The following values are not allowed: 129, 144, 145, 161, 177,
193, 208, 209, 224, 225, 240, 241, 254, 255.
❑ Information number: Information Number for the signal.
❑ Internal IED: IED of the signal value. Value 0 corresponds to the device itself.
❑ Internal ID: Internal signal number that identifies the element inside the device. In the case that the signal belongs
to the compatible range, the user is responsible for selecting the digital signals of the device in accordance to the
IEC 60870-5-103 standard.
❑ General interrogation: When selected it indicates that the information is included in the general interrogation (GI).
For these Information Numbers both status changes (OFF to ON and ON to OFF) are transmitted spontaneously.
For the others Information Numbers only the status OFF to ON are transmitted.
❑ Inverted: Indicates if the signal status is inverted. By default is not inverted
In the case of using a double-type signal, the four signals forming the double signal must be configured (Open, Close, Intermediate
and Indeterminate). Using this type of signal expands the meaning of the DPI field sent in the ASDUs:
When simple type signals are used, the field is sent as is the norm in section 7.2.6.5. Double-point information:
DPI := UI2[1..2] <0..3>
With <0> := not used
<1> := OFF
<2> := ON
<3> := not used
When using DP type signals, the meaning of the values 0 and 3 changes, becoming:
DPI := UI2[1..2] <0..3>
With <0> := Intermediate, (transitioning between end conditions)
<1> := OFF
<2> := ON
<3> := Indeterminate, (abnormal or custom condition)

26.3.2 Measurements table

❑ Measure number: Measure position inside the ASDU. The first position is zero.
❑ Internal IED: IED of the signal value. Value 0 corresponds to the device itself.
❑ Internal ID: Internal measure number that identifies the element inside the device. In the case that the measure
belongs to the compatible range, the user is responsible for selecting the measure of the device in accordance to
the IEC 60870-5-103 standard.
❑ Límit scale: Real positive measurement value corresponding to 4095 internal units. If the value is zero and the
transformation ratio setting indicates secondary, the database limit scale is applied to the measure. If the value is
zero and transformation ratio setting indicates primary, the database limit scale is applied to the measure
multiplied by the transformation ratio.

❑ Function type: Function Type field for the signal. In the case that the signal belongs to the compatible range, (128,
160, 176 o 192), it should be configured a value of 0.
❑ Information number: Information Number for the signal.
❑ DCO: ON/OFF value of the command.
❑ IED interno: IED of the command value. Value 0 corresponds to the device itself
❑ Internal ID: Internal command number that identifies the element inside the device. In the case that the command
belongs to the compatible range, the user is responsible for selecting the command of the device in accordance to
the IEC 60870-5-103 standard
❑ Origin: Command origin. Allowed values:

29.4.4 Request for digital signal changes

The master device can get the information of all digital signal changes of the slave device, with the instant of time in which they
have happened. The process to do it is the following:
❑ Reading the address 0680h gets the number of changes to send by the slave device
❑ To obtain the information of the changes, reading the quantity of "number of changes x 5" on address 0682h is needed.
Reading range 0682h - 06FFh.
❑ The maximum quantity of registers that can be read is 125. This is the same as reading 25 changes since the information of
a digital signal change is stored in 5 registers. The number of registers to be read must be multiple of 5.
❑ Signal change structure format:
Number
MSB LSB

 Signal number: It is stored in the first byte of the information of a digital signal change and in the first four bits of the
next byte.
 V Bit: Validity of the signal after its change (0: valid / 1: invalid)
 E Bit: State of the signal after its change (0 / 1)
 v Bit: It indicates if the signal change is due to a change in the validity V (0 / 1)
 e Bit: It indicates if the signal change is due to a change in the state E (0 / 1)
 Milliseconds: It is stored in the second register of the information of a signal change. Range of values 0 - 59999.
 Minutes: It is stored in the first byte of the third register of the information of a signal change. Range of values 0 - 59.
 Hours: It is stored in the second byte of the third register of the information of a signal change. Range of values 0 - 23.
 Day of the month: It is stored in the first byte of the fourth register of the information of a signal change. Its value is
registered in the first five bits of that byte. Range of values 1 - 31.
 Day of the week: It is stored in the first byte of the fourth register of the information of a signal change. Its value is
registered in the last three bits of that byte. Range of values 1 - 7.

User Manual
480
 Month: It is stored in the second byte of the fourth register of the information of a signal change. Range of values 1 -
12.
 Year: It is stored in the fifth register of the information of a signal change. Range of values 0 - 99.
❑ Writing the value 0 in address 0681h the last signal changes sent are validated. This means that the signal changes of the
device are considered as sent.
❑ If the signal changes are not validated, the device will consider that they have not been sent.
❑ If the device had more signal changes it will indicate it in the address 0680h and the master station could request them
repeating the process
❑ To read all the signal changes of the device, the process must continue until the reading of the address 0680h indicates
value 0
The requests are made with functions F03 and F04 and the writings with function F16.
29.4.5 Requesting data via memory map

The data of the configured addresses can be read in a single request. The addresses can be non-consecutive.
Functioning:
❑ The configured addresses must be written using function F16. Range of the writing area 0180h - 01FCh
❑ The data of the configured addresses must be read using function F03 or F04. Range of the reading area 0100h - 017Ch
❑ Up to 124 registers can be read and written
❑ The configured addresses must be in the range 0400h - 0680h and 0700h - 0900h
❑ To read the data of the configured addresses, the following must be taken into account:
 The position in the reading area from which to request the data, must be the same as the position in the writing area
where the configured addresses have been written
 Example:
 For a writing in address 0185h the reading has to be in address 0105h.
 Writing
 Writing address: 0185h
 Position in the writing area: 0185h - 0180h(initial address) = 0005h
 Reading
 The reading address must be: 0105h
 Position in the reading area: 0105h - 0100h(initial address) = 0005h
 The number of registers to be requested must be equal to the number of registers that add up the data of the
configured addresses
 Example:
 For a writing in address 0185h of the address 0400h, 0486h and 0581h the number of registers to be requested must
be 4.
 It must be ask for a register for the signals, another for the measurements of integer type and two registers for the
counters.
 Writing
 Writing address: 0185h
 Addresses configured:
▪ 0400h: First word of digital signals
▪ 0486h: Seventh measurement of integer type
▪ 0581h: Second counter
 Reading
 Reading address: 0105h
 The number of registers to request must be 4:

30.4 USER CURVES
The user can programme FOUR curves by entering the desired points into the “User curve 1” to “User curve 4” user curve nodes.
The time corresponding to each I/Ia is programmed in seconds, with a minimum value of 0.020 seconds. These times correspond to the
curve of index 1, but as in curves IEC, the user can programme a time index between 0.05 and 1.09 in the overcurrent protection
settings.
It is not necessary to programme all the points on the curve, the unit will assign the time of the first programmed point to all those I/Ia
of a lower value and the last programmed time to all those of a higher I/Ia, that is to say, the graph will generally start and finish with
straight, horizontal lines. The points between the two programmed points will be calculated by the console as a lineal interpolation.
I/Ia values for times which are superior to that which corresponds to an inferior I/Ia are not admitted, that is to say, ascendant straight
lines are not allowed.
The nodes for the configuration of the curves are:
❑ PROT/RUSC1 user curve 1

Each node uses 3 settings frames, into which the milliseconds of activation for each I/IAJ are entered, with a range of 20 to 600,000
milliseconds.
❑ Crv0 (Low Frame Curve). For setting (milliseconds) the activation times for 1.03 and 1.05 I/IAJ ratios.
❑ Crv1 (Medium Frame Curve). For setting (milliseconds) the activation times for 1.1 and 4 I/IAJ ratios, with steps of 0.1.
❑ Crv1 (High Frame Curve). For setting (milliseconds) the activation times for 4 and 20 I/IAJ ratios, with steps of 0.5.
The programming carried out via PacFactory is done using the programming screen shown in Figure 253, in which:
❑ The times of the curves different points are entered (left table) and the curve’s graph is displayed (right table).
❑ Interpolate points of the curve and enter the known points. By clicking on “Calculate Curve Values”, the missing values are
calculated for the curve.
❑ Reset the curve values “Reset PC column”.
❑ “Save values”. Saves the values entered in order to send them to unit.
❑ “Close”. Returns to the general settings screen, from where they can be sent to the unit.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 
32. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

The unit continually checks the various incorporated elements and cards. If an error is detected in any of the elements or cards, an
alarm is generated.
The available signals indicate faults in the card check, in the communications between the cards, in the unit’s configuration, etc.
The detected errors are shown in:
❑ Status report
❑ Incident report
❑ Sequence of events (SOE)
❑ Digital outputs and CPU hardware alarm output.
❑ IHMI leds and status leds
The errors can be critical and non critical, depending on the effect they have in the device.
Critical errors
Critical hardware error. Indicates that a critical error has been produced. In addition to this signal, the cause that produced the signal
will be indicated.
If the error affects the unit’s operation, a critical error is generated, which in addition to the signal acts on:
❑ Colour front LED. Non-configurable status LED, which indicates the unit’s general status. If the LED is green, it indicates
that everything is correct, while if it is red it indicates a critical error in the unit.
❑ CPU Relay. Non-configurable 3-contact relay, which indicates the unit’s general status. If the LED is active (common
terminal – NO), it indicates that everything is correct, while if it is deactivated (common terminal– NC) it indicates a critical
error in the unit. If the unit is switched off, the relay is deactivated.
The causes that produce errors are:
❑ CPU error. Indicates that the check has detected an error in the CPU
❑ Analogue error. Indicates an error in transformers card.
❑ I/O micro error. Indicates an error in the I/O cards’ micro.
❑ Analogue connection error. Indicates that a fault has been produced in the communications between the CPU and the
transformers card.
❑ I/O connection error. Indicates that a fault has been produced in the communication between the CPU and an I/O card.
Additionally, it will indicate the card which has suffered the failure:
 Error card address x. Indicates that there is a communication error with the card with the address x.
❑ Front connection error. Indicates that a fault has been produced in the communications between the CPU and the unit’s
front card.
❑ Shared analogue memory error. Indicates that a fault has been produced in the Data exchange memory between the CPU
and the transformers card.
❑ Error shared I/O memory. Indicates that a fault has been produced in the Data exchange memory between the CPU and
the I/O cards.
❑ Alarm settings. Indicates that errors have been detected in the storage of the unit’s settings.
❑ FW Alarm. Indicates that the relay firmware versions are incompatible.
❑ Memory check alarm. Indicates that errors have been detected in the checking of the unit’s memory.
❑ Converter check alarm. Indicates that errors have been detected in the transformers card AD converter.
❑ Converter voltage level alarm. Indicates that errors have been detected in the transformers card reference voltages..
❑ Relay activation alarm. Indicates that an error has been detected in the activation of at least one of the I/O cards’ relays.
❑ I/O configuration error. Indicates that the configuration of the I/O cards does not coincide with the unit’s correct
configuration.

❑ General Vdc error. Indicates a failure in the internal power supply levels.
❑ For each I/O card there is are 5 signals, indicating:
 Status OK. Indicates that the card is configured correctly and without errors
 Configured & No_detected. Indicates that the card is configured by the user, but not detected in the unit. This may be
because it is not assembled or because it has an error. Equivalent to the current communication error.
 Different configuration. The type indicated by the user and the type detected by the unit do not coincide.
 No_configured & detected. Indicates that card that has not been configured by the user has been detected in an
address.
 Internal card error. A card check error has been received (includes relay check).
Non critical errors
These errors have a limited effect on the device.
❑ RTC clock error. Indicates that the check has detected an error in the real time clock.
❑ Continuous component monitoring alarm. Indicates that an error in the continuous measurement monitoring has been
detected in the transformers card.
❑ Frequency configuration error. This is not a unit failure, but rather a configuration failure. Indicates that the frequency
measurement of the signals being injected into the unit do not match the set measurement, that is, the unit is configured
as 50Hz and the signals which are being injected are greater than 55Hz; or that the unit is configured as 60 Hz and the
signals being injected are less than 55 Hz.
❑ Internal battery failure. Indicates that the data storage battery is below the security levels and that the data may be lost at
shutdown.
❑ Version compatibility error. Indicates that the versions of the unit's firmware are not correct.
❑ Time setting configuration alarm. Indicates that there is an error in the configuration of the unit’s time setting.
32.1 ERROR DETECTION
The error detection can be made by any of the indicated ways.
Status report:
Figure 254 shows the screen of the PacFactory that show the available check signals.
The example screen shows activation of critical error (HW error), generated by I/O configuration error (card 2 is not detected). It
also indicates Internal battery failure. On the other hand, it shows I/O card 1 is correct.
Incident reports and sequence of events:

The available check signals are shown in both messages.
Led and digital outputs:

The leds and digital output can be configured with any of the error signals
Status Led and critical error output:

Colour front LED and CPU relay are activated when a critical error is detected. They are not configurable.

Figure 254 Device checks screen
32.2 ERROR HANDLING PROCEDURE
The procedure will depend on the detected error and the device status.
❑ If the device is off, check that the power supply is correct. If the device is well supplied, contact the technical service
❑ If the device is on but it shows failure, return to the events screen and check which type of error it is
 If critical error, with no specific indication, is shown and the error persists after turning the unit off and on,
contact the technical service.
 If converter or reference voltage error is shown. Check the Measurements, and if they are correct, turn off and
on the unit; if the error does not disappear, contact the technical service.
 If Clock error is shown, synchronize manually. If the error persists, contact the technical service.
 If error in the setting is shown, send the settings again. If error persists contact the technical service

PROTECTION DEVICES WITH SAMPLED VALUES 
33. PROTECTION DEVICES WITH SAMPLED VALUES

These protection units receive samples of analog measurements using Sampled Values (SV) protocol, through an Ethernet network.
They can be connected to merging units or electronic transformers that follow IEC61850-9-2 or IEC61869-9 standards.
The device can communicate through two physical Ethernet interfaces RJ45 or optic fibre. PRP/HSR redundancy and Link failover
redundancy are available.
Available measures and their accuracy are determined by the accuracy of the external SV publishers. These publishers will be responsible
for capturing and sending analog measurements of the lines, generating SV frames through an Ethernet communications network. The
device will only subscribe, among all the available measures, to those that are necessary for their correct operation.
Local measures captured directly through current and / or voltage input channels are allowed. Therefore, some of the measures can be
local and some others sampled values. In order to operate correctly, the measures must be synchronized by GPS.
The following figures show, according to model encoding, the board position.

33.2 PUBLISHERS DECLARATION
It is necessary to have configuration files (CID) or configuration data of the SV publishers. If the subscription is made using PacFactory
configuration tool, it is mandatory to import the CID files of the publishers and receivers into the same installation.
For detailed information see the "Add-in of subscription" chapter.
33.3 SAMPLED VALUES SUBSCRIPTION
The sampled values subscription is performed according to the IEC61850 standard (edition 2).
The details of this functionality are:
❑ It is only allowed sampled values that comply with the recommended for protection and measurement, indicated in IEC61850-9-
2LE ("Implementation guideline for digital interface to instrument transformers using IEC 61850-9-2" of UCA International Users
Group) and IEC61869-9 ("Instrument transformers - Part 9: Digital interface for instrument transformers") standards, allowing the
subscription up to 8 publishers. All subscribed publishers must use the same standard. If it is subscribed to publishers with different
standards, the CID will be erased because of a non-valid configuration.
❑ After sending a configuration file, the subscription and reception remain operative until the CID has been parsed and fully
validated. Then, the new subscription settings are loaded.
❑ The subscription is made with EC61850 edition 2 and can be used with edition 1.
33.3.1 Configuration
According to IEC 61850 edition 2, the sampled values subscription uses the Inputs-ExtRef in the CID.
The Inputs section defines all external values that will be received from other computers. In this section each ExtRef element refers
to an external data and the element intAddr performs the mapping or association to a data of the device.
In the case of sampled values, the Inputs section is included in the logical node "PHSMMXU". This node has an "OpPhasor" element
associated with each analog measurement of the device. In this way, an external measurement, received through sampled values,
can be assigned to an internal measurement of the subscriber device.

User Manual 545
The CID file of an IED with subscriptions to configured SMV messages contains several sections of IEDs. The section of the IED itself
and sections of each merging unit IEDs that publishes the sampled values to which it is subscribed.
These sections of the external IEDs only contain the data model necessary to perform the subscription in order to reduce the size of
the CID file.
For more information about the sampled values subscription configuration process, refer to the configuration software tool's user
manual (energyFactorySuite/pacFactory).
33.3.2 ADD-IN of subscription

The configuration tool has an add-in that allows the relay to subscribe to the publishers of sampled values in an easy way. To access it,
it is necessary to access the 61850 configuration menu, as shown in Figure 258.
Once the 61850 configuration menu is selected, through the icon , the subscriptions configurator is accessed, valid both for
subscriptions to Gooses and to sampled values. In this case, "Sampled Values" option will be selected, as shown in Figure 259.
Configuration tool shows all the sampled values control blocks available in the installation, allowing a maximum of 8 subscriptions
(Figure 258).
It is also possible to monitor the subscriptions by using LSVS logical nodes.
"Data Binding" tab (Figure 261) shows the measurement channels used by the protection (depending on the model), and the current
and voltage measurements (TCTR and TVTR) available in the added control blocks. Each data channel of the protection can be assigned
a data, respecting the type of measurement of each channel, TCTR for intensities and TVTR for voltages.

33.3.3 Monitoring
The LSVS logical node of the data model is used to monitor subscriptions to SV messages. There are 8 instances of LSVS logical
nodes that allow to monitor up to 8 subscriptions to sampled values.
The configuration value in the LSVS logical node is the SvCBRef data (reference to the Sampled Values control block subscribed).
This reference must be filled out when doing the configuration of the subscription, additionally allows to be modified in execution
through an IEC 61850 client.
The values monitored in this logical node are:
❑ NdsCom: Subscription needs commissioning. When true, the received SV message does not correspond to the current
subscription settings. Verify that the configuration revision is correct.
❑ St: When true, the subscription is active. Otherwise it is inactive.
❑ SimSt: If true, subscribed SV messages with the simulation bit set are being received and accepted
❑ ConfRevNum: The expected configuration revision number in SV messages.
❑ RxConfRevNum: The configuration revision number received in SV messages.
All this data are mapped in the internal database of the device and can be used in logics of the device and in the local display.
The assigned Boolean signals are listed in the following table:

33.4 CONFIGURABLE LOCAL MEASURES
The device code selection has different options for the local measures.
In the "-" option, all measures are received through communications, using sampled values messages.
In the "D" option, depending on the binary file loaded on the analog card, or all the measurements are wired directly to the analog
card's measurement transformers (conventional wiring), or all of them are received by communications in the form of sampled
values. The options are:
❑ All measures received from local transformer.

 The signal "SV receiver device" is deactivated.
 The device´s version doesn´t include the SV board versions.
❑ All measures received from sampled values.

 The signal "SV receiver device" is activated.
 The device´s version includes the SV board versions.
33.5 SAMPLED VALUES SIMULATION
The device implements the simulation mode defined in the IEC 61850 Edition 2.
This mode allows the simulation of any SV that is present in the communication network so that two SV with the same information
data will be present at the same moment, the real one without the simulation bit active and the simulated one with the simulation bit
active. If the subscriber is in simulation mode, once it has received the first simulation SV its values will be used instead of the values of
the original SV. Therefore, if the device is in simulation mode, it still accepts 'original' SV messages, and only discards the 'original' SV
messages for those SVs which are simulated.
Simulation mode is enabled with the controllable data "Sim" included in the LPHD logical node in the GEN logical device.
In each LSVS logical node, used to monitor SV subscription, the SimSt status shows with TRUE value that subscribed SV messages with
the simulation bit set are being received and accepted.
When the subscriber is not in simulation mode (GEN/LPHD.Sim.stVal=false) the simulated SVs are ignored. The device keep on using
the "real" SV messages.
When the subscriber is in simulation mode (GEN/LPHD.Sim.stVal=true) the simulated SVs are used for operational purposes. The device
ignores the "real" SV messages after a first simulated one has been received. The corresponding LSVS.SimSt is set when the first
simulated message is received and only cleared when LPHD.Sim.stVal is set to false.
Once the device has received a simulated message for one of the subscribed SV messages, it will not process the real one until the
simulation mode of the device (LPHD.Sim.stVal) is set to false.

User Manual 550
33.6 TEST MODE FOR SAMPLED VALUES
The device implements the test mode for the SV reception.
If the device is in test mode for the SV, only the measurements received in the message of sampled values with the Quality bit of the
test mode active will be considered valid.
The device can be set to test mode for SV using the "SV test mode On" Setting, included in GEN/LPHD logical node.
Table 282. Test mode for sampled values setting

SVTestEna SV Test mode On NO/Yes enum
The signal "SV mode test Status" is activated when the device is in test mode for SV.
Table 283. Test mode for sampled values signal

SV mode test Status SVTestSt stVal
33.7 BEHAVIOUR WITH LOSS OF SYNCHRONIZATION
When a loss of synchronization is detected in the sampled value messages, the device can keep on protection or not depending on the
settings.
There is a setting that indicates how the device should operate when sampled values are not synchronized or when local
synchronization is used. It is included in the logical node GEN/LPHD.
❑ Lost SV synchronization. Indicates the behaviour of the device depending on the synchronization type received in the
sampled values messages. The available options are:
 Allow local. The device has to see the measures synchronized (Locally or globally) to consider them valid.
 Allow only global. The device has to see the measures with global synchronization to consider them valid.
Table 284. Behavior with loss of synchronization setting

Allow local (1)
SyncLostMod Lost SV synchronization enum
Allow only global (2)
A device subscribed to a single MU, even if the measures it receives are not synchronized, it treats them as measures with local
synchronization.
