2 EATON 620 series Protection IED

The 620 series is characterized by fast, versatile and
dependable protection functions with uniquely wide
operating frequency band making it perfect choice for the
most demanding feeder protection applications including
rotating machines.
Overcurrent and earth-fault protection (ANSI 50/51,
50/51N)
Up to three stages of overcurrent and earth fault
protection functions, Definite time, IEC or ANSI inverse
time curves with settable reset delays to coordinate with
electromechanical relays.
Thermal protection (ANSI 49)
Thermal protection for cable overloading based on cable
time constants used for heating and cooling calculation of
the thermal image. Provides maximum allowed load
current, one alarm stage and tripping stage.
Arc protection (50ARC/50NARC)
Optional fast arc protection is available in selected
models. Stage can be set to operate on any combination
of arc light, residual current or phase current conditions.
Typical operation time is 10ms.
Voltage protection (ANSI 59/27/59N/47)
Under and overvoltage and residual overvoltage and
positive/negative sequence voltage stages with DT or
IDMT characteristics and settable voltage thresholds.
Frequency protection (ANSI 81U/81O/81R)
Under and overfrequency and rate of change of
frequency with DT characteristics. May be applied for
extensive load shedding logic or simple Underfrequency
protection.
Power protection (ANSI 32/37/32R)
Over power, under power and reverse power protection
may be applied for overload, loss-of-load and generator
turbine protection with DT characteristics and settable 3
phase active power thresholds.
The 620 series IEDs offers extensive metering
capabilities, including:
 Instantaneous Volt, Amp, Watt, VARS, pf and
frequency
 Energy metering
 Harmonics metering through the 15th harmonic.
Setting group change control
Change between up to 4 setting groups by any digital
signal including virtual inputs signal or force change
overrule of local controls either from setting tool, HMI or
SCADA.
Object control
Up to 4 locally or remotely controllable objects and status
indications. Visualize and control objects locally by
means of large graphic HMI display.
Auto-reclose (ANSI 79)
Up to 4 independent or scheme controlled shots with
possibility to set parallel signals in each request. Request
inputs may be digital inputs, virtual inputs.
Cold-load pick-up function
Programmable cold-load pick-up function for blocking
protection functions based on cold-loads.
Circuit breaker failure protection (ANSI 50BF)
User settable function initiation based on overcurrent or
digital input or digital output status alone or in any
combination. Two separate levels for Re-Trip and CBFP.
CT supervision
Alarms or blocks in case of lose wiring by constantly
monitoring phase current instant values as well as key
calculated magnitudes of the phase currents.
Fuse failure (VT supervision)
