Operating time Duration of time interval between the instant when the character-
istic quantity in reset condition is changed, under specified condi-
tions, and the instant when the relay operates
Dropout ratio The ratio of a reset value to an operate value in well-specified con-
ditions. The dropout ratio may be lower or greater than 1 according
as an over or under element is considered
Reset time Duration of the time interval between the instant when the charac-
teristic quantity in operate condition is changed, under specified
conditions, and the instant when the relay operates.
The stated reset time is related to a step variation of characteristic
quantity in operate condition to the reset condition.
Overshoot time The critical impulse time for a relay which is in its reset condition,
is the longest duration a specified change in the input energizing
quantity(ies) (characteristic quantity), which will cause the relay
to change to operate condition, can be applied without the relay
switches. The overshoot time is the difference from the operate time
and the critical impulse time.
The declared values for the overshoot time are applicable with the
lower setting value of the operation time.

Note 1 The basic current IB represents the nominal current of the line or transformer, referred to the nominal current of the CT’s for thermal image
protection. Assuming that the secondary rated current of the line CT’s equals the rated current of the NA60 relay, as usually happens, the IB value
is the ratio between the rated current of the protected element and the primary rated current of the CT’s (versions with traditional CT inputs)
For versions with input from ThySensor the relay nominal phase current is automatically set to the value of the nominal current of the secondary
phase sensor. For setting calculation the coupling relay NA60 - ThySensor is equivalent to the pair with NA60 In = 5A with 630 / 5 ratio CTs.
Note 2 The 26 element is available when the MPT module is connect on Thybus and enabled
Note 3 With U ph-ph setting all thresholds are in p.u. Un (MMI), with U ph-n setting all thresholds are in p.u En (MMI)
Note 4 The mathematical formula for INVERSE curve is: t= (0.75 ∙ t U< inv) / [1 - (U/U< inv)]
t : operating time (in seconds)
tU<inv : operating time setting (referred to U/U< inv = 0.25 ), U<inv: threshold setting
U: input voltage
Note 5 Dq is the thermal image (p.u. of the basic over temperature corresponding to the basic current IB).

RELAYS
Printed boards hold the circuit components arranged according to a modular allocation of the main
functions.
CPU board
This circuit board contains all the circuits necessary for performing the analogue and digital pro-
cessing of the signals.
Analog processing
The following are envisaged:
• Anti aliasing filter circuits,
• Amplifier circuits for conditioning the input signals,
• Reference voltage adjustment circuits for the measurement A/D converter.
The Pro-n relays use a DSP processor operating at 40 MHz; it performs all the processing on the
analogue signals and furthermore coordinates management of the TX-RX signals to the CPU.
The input currents are sampled at a frequency of 24 samples per period by means of a dual conver-
sion system which allows the attainment of information pertaining to polarity and amplitude with high
resolution. The measurement criterion allows precise measurement of even those signals having a
unidirectional component, such as transient currents with overlapping exponential, which typically
appear during faults.
The circuit board also houses the output relays with the corresponding command and control cir-
cuits, communication circuits, buttons, LCD display, LEDs and the key switch.
CPU
A 32 bit CPU is provided.
The following are envisaged:
• Real Time Clock circuits with oscillator and super capacitor,
• USB communication port,
• RS485 communication port,
• Thybus communication circuits for external modules and MMI board,
• Network communication circuits (optional Ethernet).
Memories:
• SRam: high speed static memory, used for data and cache,
• Flash memory: used for fw storage and upgrade,
• EEprom memory: used for calibration data storage,
• Dual port Ram for data transfer between CPU and DSP.
Input board
CT & VT input versions
• Three CTs committed for phase currents acquisition
• One CT committed for residual current acquisition
The input circuits are suitable for 1 A or 5 A external CTs[1]
• Three VTs committed for phase voltages acquisition
• One VT committed for residual voltage acquisition.
Note 1 The phase and residual nominal currents must be adjusted by means dip-switch.

Base software
Single modules are application independent with modular and scalable structure.
The system can be assimilated to the PC BIOS (Basic Input-Output System); three main function are
provided:
• Start-up test execution;
• RAM loading of the operating system;
• Provide a suitable interface to access the relay hardware.
Task
The task (process e thread) are the base components.
Example are:
• Keyboard management
• RTC (Real Time Clock) updating
• RAM/EEPROM updating
• Diagnostic
• Input acquisition
• Output relay management
• MMI
• I/O updating
• DSP data processing
Drivers
Inside the driver library, all the specialized module for protection and control function are provided.
They are the link from kernel and application layer. Examples are:
• Data base management
• PC messages management
• TCP/IP messages management
• Basic Protocol management
• Counter management
• Event and fault management
• Measuring management
• Oscillography management
Application Software
The software acts the specialization of the base system; all protective and control elements are
inside it.
The main modules ate:
• Diagnostic function for application layer,
• Input management (binary inputs),
• Protective functions,
• Event recording,
• Output management (LEDs and relays)
Each element (Kernel, Drivers and Application) may, in turn, be split into modules:
Communication (drivers)
The ModBus TCP/IP or IEC61850 protocol, with ethernet interface, the ModBus RTU, IEC 60870-5-103
and DNP3 protocol over RS485 interface and the ModBus RTU USB for ThyVisor are provided.
MMI (drivers)
The drivers deal with the menu management (MMi and/or communication messages).
Data Base
The data base is split into three main sections:
• RAM for volatile data,
• REE and PAR for non volatile data.
Metering inputs
CT-VT input versions
The following inputs are provided:
• Three phase current inputs
• One residual current input
• The nominal currents are independently adjustable at 1 A or 5 A through DIP-switches
• Three phase voltage inputs with programmable nominal voltages within range 50...130 V (UR=100 V)
or 200...520 V (UR=400 V) to be select on order. The nominal voltages is user adjustable inside a
wide setting range, so the relays can be employed on plants with TV different secondary voltages
(50...130 V for versions with U R =100V and 200...520V for versions with U R =400 V). The version with
U R =400V allows a direct measure without interposing VTs for low voltage applications (200...520 V
nominal voltage). The voltage inputs must be connected for measuring phase-to-neutral voltages.
From the U L1 , U L2 , U L3 measures the phase-to-phase voltages U L12 , U L23 , U L31 are calculated
• One residual voltage input, with programmable nominal voltage within range 50...130 V (UER=100 V).

The input circuits are appropriately dimensioned in order to withstand the currents which arise
when a fault occurs, both in transient and steady state condition.
Signal processing
Various processing levels are involved:
• Acquisition (base level).
• Direct measures of physical channels (first level).
• Calculated measures (second level).
• Derived (third level).
The measures concerning a level are based on data worked out in the previous level.
For each level the required resources concerning the priority for tasks (conditioning circuits, DSP
and CPU) are on hand.

Set profile
Inside Pro-N devices, two independent setting profiles (A and B) are available. Whereas different
settings are required, they are made in the setting profiles and stored in the non volatile memory of
relay. Applicable setting profile is activated usually via a binary input; when the programmed input is
activated, the profile B becomes operative as a replacement for the default profile A.[1]
Fault trigger
When the programmed input is activated, a trigger is issued for fault record SFR). Data storing takes
place with the same procedure resulting from a trip of any protective elements

A change in status of a binary input effects a block[1] common for the following phase and ground
protective elements:

• IE >, IE >> and IE >>> (50N/51N), IED >, IED >>, IED >>> and IED >>>> (67N).
Block1
A change in status of a binary input effects a block for a length of time equal to the activation of the
input[3]; the element pickup that wish be blocked must be enabled (the Block1 parameter must be
set to ON in the concerning menu).[4]
The application of the IN1 binary input for the acquisition of the Block1 (logic block) coming from
external signal is shown in the following figure; in the example the block signal is ORed with Block2
(selective block) to block the generic (xxx) element.
Note 1 The exhaustive treatment of the Block 2 function is described in the “Logic selectivity” paragraph.
Note 2 The exhaustive treatment of the Block 2 function is described in the “Logic selectivity” paragraph.
The application of the inputs for the acquisition of Block2 (selective block) for Phase (Block2 Iph) and earth protective functions (Block2 IE) is
similar to that illustrated in the scheme concerning the Block2 IphIIE
Note 3 Unlike the Block2 (selective block), that houses a safety logic founded on programmable timers, the Block1 (logic block) keeps block of the
protection for the whole time when the input is active.
Note 4 The activation of one binary input produces indiscriminately a block of all protective elements programmed for being blocked from Block1

Output relays
Six output relays are available (K1...K6):[1]
• K1 and K2 have two changeover contacts (SPDT, type C).
• K3, K4 and K5 have one make contact (SPST-NO, type A).[2]
• K6 has one break contact (SPST-NC, type B).[3]
Each output relay may be programmed with following operating mode:
• Operation MODE (No latched, Pulse, Latched).
• Logic (Energized/De-energized).
To each output relay a programmable timer is matched (Minimum pulse width parameter).
All parameters are available inside the Set\Relays menu.

Output relay operation Relay-operation-timers.ai
Any change to the settings can be affected at any time, also with the relay on duty, separately for
each relay.
Notes:
• When de-energized operating mode is set, the relay remains in rest condition if no trip command
is in progress.
• When energized operating mode is set, the relay remains in operating condition if no trip command
is in progress and the auxiliary supply is powered on.
• When no-latched operating mode is set (Operation MODE No latched), the output relay reset
at the end of the trip condition. To each output relay a programmable timer is matched (minimum
pulse width operation).
• When latched operating mode is set (Operation MODE Latched), the output relay doesn’t reset
at the end of the trip condition; it stays ON until a reset command is issued (RESET key, ThyVisor or
communication command).
• When pulse operating mode is set (Operation MODE Pulse), the output relay reset after a tTR
programmable delay regardless of the trip condition.
• It is advisable to make sure that the output contact technical data are suitable for load (Nominal
current, breaking capacity, make current, switching voltage,...).
Matching every output relay to any protective element is freely programmable inside the Setpoints
submenus according a tripping matrix structure.[4][5]

USB
To connect the local port you need to use a cable USB Type B - Type A; the Thytronic cable code
L10042 can be supplied.
The serial port is the simplest access for setting by means the ThyVisor software.
RS485
Several protocol are implemented[1]:
• ModBus RTU. Modbus is a serial communications protocol. It is a de facto standard communica-
tions protocol in industry, and is now the most commonly available means of connecting industrial
electronic devices also inside electric utilities and substation.
• IEC 60870-5. The IEC 60870-5 suite of protocol is used for communications from master station to
substation, as well within the substation; the IEC 60870-5-103 (Protection equipment) is available
together the Modbus protocol on some version of Pro-n devices (code NAxx#xxxxC x).
Ethernet
It is provided (optionally) a communication board useful for Ethernet communication with ModBus
TCP/IP protocol.[2]
Modbus/TCP basically embeds a Modbus frame into a TCP frame in a simple manner. This is a con-
nection-oriented transaction which means every query expects a response.
This query/response technique fits well with the master/slave nature of ModBus, adding to the de-
terministic advantage that Switched Ethernet offers industrial users.
In the same way as the RS485 base Modbus, every device is identified by a personal address and the
communication goes in “client-server” mode with answering request from the recipient.
The protective relay can be directly connect to the Ethernet network (no gateway, protocol converter
are needed).
Two port can be implemented:
• 100BASE-TX with RJ45 connector (copper).
• 100BASE-FX with FX connector (optical fiber)[2]
For both modules no hw preset are required.

• Phase CT primary current Inp (for ThySensor inputs)
This parameter affects the measure of the phase currents when the primary measurement read-

current.

FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
Thermal protection with RTD thermometric probes - 26
Preface
The measure of temperature is acquired by means of Pt100 (RTD Resistive Temperature sensing
Devices) probed, connected to the MPT module.[1]
A direct thermal protection element with eight PT100 thermometric probes (RTD Resistive Thermal
Device) provides protection against premature ageing or breakdown of the insulating materials
through overheating.
Thermal protection using thermometric probes offers greater reliability than Thermal overload-based
indirect protection, since it is not influenced by inaccuracies in the time constant for the thermal
model of the machinery and by variations in the surrounding temperature.

t-int-F26.ai
General operation time characteristic for thermal protection with RTD thermometric probes (26)
For each thermometric probe an alarm (ThALx , where x=1...8 points one of the eight probes) and one
trip adjustable threshold is provided (Th>x ), with adjustable operating time (t ThALx and t Th>x >);if the
measured temperature overcomes the threshold, the relative alarm and/or trip is issued when the
timer expires.
The adjustments are operable in °C.
The probes should be placed in strategic points around the machinery susceptible to the greatest
overheating, such as for example:
- near the generator stator windings, near the step-up transformer windings and/or in the oil, with the
aim of detecting overheating produced by the overload currents,
- near the generator bearings, with the aim of detecting localised overheating due to worn or non-
lubricated bearings.
The Pt100 probes detect the temperature in the range -50 °C...+250 °C (at 0 °C its resistance is 100
ohm); an alarm indicates any interruption or short-circuiting of the probe or related connections to
the MPT module; the information is available inside the Read \ PT100 menu:

Undervoltage - 27
Preface
Two operation thresholds, independently adjustable (U<, U<<) with adjustable delay (t U <, t U <<).
The first one may be programmed with definite or inverse time, while the second threshold operates
with definite time characteristic.
U12 =|UL1-UL2|
U23 =|UL2 -UL3|
U31=|UL2 -UL1|
Each of three voltages compared with the setting values (U<, U<<). The start and trip logic may be
selected OR or AND.
With OR selection, a start is issued when at least one of the three voltages goes down the adjust-
able threshold (START); with AND selection, a start is issued when all the three voltages go down
the adjustable threshold.
After expiry of the associated operate time (t U <, t U <<) a trip command is issued; if instead the volt-
ages exceed the threshold, the element is restored.
The first threshold (U<) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curve:
t=0.75 t U<inv / [1-(U/U<inv)]
Where:
t: operate time
U<inv: threshold setting
t U<inv: operate time setting

Undervoltage protection with phase voltage measured by means of VTs and two operating thresh-
olds:
• First threshold trip with inverse time characteristic when at least one phase voltage becomes
lower than 90% of the grid nominal phase voltage and with 10 s operate time for the 70% of the grid
nominal phase voltage.
• Second threshold with definite time when at least one phase voltage becomes lower than 60% of
the grid nominal phase voltage and with 1 s operate time.
On the strength of the line input nominal voltage (phase to phase voltage) the concerning phase to
neutral voltage (En) is calculated by the relay (the 27 thresholds are in relation to En when the phase
voltage are measured):
En = Un / √3 = 57.7 V
The voltage measurement type (Phase-to-neutral) and the operating logic (OR), is adjustable inside
the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Undervoltage-27 \ Common configuration menu by means the Utype27 and
the Logic27 parameters; the Uph-n (phase-to-neutral) and OR are the proper settings.
The corresponding unit are p.u. En.
With inverse time characteristic, the maximum operating threshold is equal to 90% of setting; the
first threshold must be defined according the following general formula (good for phase to neutral
voltage measure):
U< = required phase operating threshold (primary volt)/(0.9 ∙ En ∙ KVT )
so:
U< = (0.9 ∙ Ung /√3) / (0.9 ∙ En ∙ KVT ) = (10000 /√3) / (100 /√3 ∙ 100 = 1 p.u. En
The first threshold setting is: U< = 1.00 En
Since the required operate time for the first threshold is 3 s when the phase voltage is equal to 70%
of the grid phase nominal voltage, the operating time setting t U <inv (conventionally related to the
phase voltage equal to 25% of the setting threshold) must be defined according the formula (char-
acteristic curve):
t = 0.75 / (1-U/U<) ∙ t U <
The t U <inv setting may be defined:
• t = 10 s
• U = (0.7 ∙ Ung / √3) / (En ∙ KTV ) = 0.7 p.u. En
from which:
t U <inv = t ∙ (1-U/U<) / 0.75 = 10 ∙ (1-0,7 /1) / 0.75 = 4 s
The first threshold operating time to be set is: t U <inv = 4 s
The second threshold setting (definite time characteristic), must be defined according the general
formula:
U<< = required phase operating threshold (primary volt)/(En ∙ KVT )
so:
U<< = (0.6 ∙ Ung /√3) / (En ∙ KTV ) = (0.6 ∙ 10000 / √3) / 100/√3 ∙ 100 = 0.6 p.u. En

Undervoltage protection with phase voltage measure by means of ThySensors and two operating
thresholds:
• First threshold trip with inverse time characteristic when at least one phase voltage becomes
lower than 90% of the grid nominal phase voltage and with 10 s operate time for the 70% of the grid
nominal phase voltage.
• Second threshold with definite time when at least one phase voltage becomes lower than 60% of
the grid nominal phase voltage and with 1 s operate time.
For the setting purposes the NA60 - ThySensor pair is equivalent to a NA60 with Un = 100 V with
traditional VT with ratio KTV = (20000 / √3) / (100 / √3) = 200.
The relay nominal frequency must be set to 50 Hz: fn = 50 Hz.
The nominal voltage (Un) of the line inputs (phase to phase voltage) must be set to the grid nominal
voltage value divided by the ThySensor ratio:
On the strength of the line input nominal voltage (phase to phase voltage) the concerning phase to
neutral voltage (En) is calculated by the relay (the 27 thresholds are in relation to En when the phase
voltage are measured):
En = Un / √3 = 28.9 V
The voltage measurement type (Phase-to-neutral) and the operating logic (OR), is adjustable inside
the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Undervoltage-27 \ Common configuration menu by means the Utype27 and
the Logic27 parameters; the Uph-n (phase-to-neutral) and OR are the proper settings.
The corresponding unit are p.u. En.
With inverse time characteristic, the maximum operating threshold is equal to 90% of setting; the
first threshold must be defined according the following general formula (good for phase to neutral
voltage measure):
U< = required phase operating threshold (primary volt)/(0.9 ∙ En ∙ KVT )
so:
U< = (0.9 ∙ Ung /√3) / (0.9 ∙ En ∙ KVT ) = (10000 /√3) / (100 /√3 ∙ 100 = 1 p.u. En
The first threshold setting is: U< = 1.00 En
Since the required operate time for the first threshold is 3 s when the phase voltage is equal to 70%
of the grid phase nominal voltage, the operating time setting t U <inv (conventionally related to the
phase voltage equal to 25% of the setting threshold) must be defined according the formula (char-
acteristic curve):
t = 0.75 / (1-U/U<) ∙ t U <
The t U <inv setting may be defined:
• t = 10 s
• U = (0.7 ∙ Ung / √3) / (En ∙ KTV ) = 0.7 p.u. En
from which:
t U <inv = t ∙ (1-U/U<) / 0.75 = 10 ∙ (1-0,7 /1) / 0.75 = 4 s
The first threshold operating time to be set is: t U <inv = 4 s
The second threshold setting (definite time characteristic), must be defined according the general
formula:
U<< = required phase operating threshold (primary volt)/(En ∙ KVT )
so:
U<< = (0.6 ∙ Ung /√3) / (En ∙ KTV ) = (0.6 ∙ 10000 / √3) / 100/√3 ∙ 100 = 0.6 p.u. En

The trip element (Dth>) may be inhibited when a start of at least one of the overcurrent element
(50/51) is active, if the Dth>disby50-51 parameter is set ON inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \Ther-
mal image-49 \ Dth> Element menu.
The DθIN parameter sets a minimum level of previous thermal image Dθp when the protection relay
is powered or when a remote (binary input) or local (keyboard or ThyVisor) command is issued.
The DthIN parameter may be adjusted inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Thermal image-49\
Common configuration menu.
To active the DθIN preset value remotely, a binary input must be programmed as Init DTheta func-
tion inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary input IN1, Binary input INx menu.
The trip element can produce the Breaker Failure output if the Dth> BF parameters is set to ON. The
parameter is available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Thermal image-49 \ Dth> Element menu.[3]
The IB setting is adjustable inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Base current IB menu.
Note 1 The CLP function (Cold Load Pick-up) with blocking of the 49 element has priority compared with the second harmonic restraint function, so, if
the equivalent thermal current is enabled, the latter is not reduced when a second harmonic restraint is active.
Note 2 The CLP function (Cold Load Pick-up) with threshold change of the 49 element has priority compared with the second harmonic restraint func-
tion, so, if the equivalent thermal current is enabled, the latter is not reduced when a second harmonic restraint is active.
Note 3 The common settings concerning the Breaker failure protection are adjustable inside the Breaker Failure - BF menu.

Phase overcurrent - 50/51
Preface
Three operation thresholds, independently adjustable (I>, I>>, I>>>) with adjustable delay
(t >, t >>, t >>>).
The first one may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the IEC and ANSI/IEEE
standard, as well as with rectifier, I2t or EM curve.
The second threshold may be programmable with independent or dependent time according to the
I2t curve and the third threshold with independent time.
For each threshold a reset time can be set (t>RES, t>>RES, t>>>RES) useful to reduce the clearing time
for intermittent faults.
The first threshold trip may be inhibited by start of the second and/or third threshold (I>>, I>>>).
Similarly the second threshold trip may be inhibited by start of the third threshold (I>>>).
Operation and settings
Each phase fundamental frequency current is compared with the setting value. Currents above the
associated pickup value are detected and a start is issued. After expiry of the associated operate
time a trip command is issued; if instead the current drops below the threshold, the element is re-
stored.
The first threshold (I>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curves:
• Standard Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT): t = 0.14 · t >inv / [(I/I>inv)0.02 - 1]
• Very Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT): t = 13.5 · t >inv / [(I/I>inv) - 1]
• Extremely Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT): t = 80 · t >inv / [(I/I>inv)2 - 1]
• Moderately Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type MI): t = t >inv · {0.01 / [(I/I>inv)0.02 - 1] + 0.023}
• Very Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type VI): t = t >inv · {3.922 / [(I/I>inv)2 - 1] + 0.098}
• Extremely Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type EI): t = t >inv · {5.64 / [(I/I>inv)2 - 1] + 0.024}
• Rectifier (RI): t = 2351 · t >inv / [(I/I>inv)5.6 - 1]
• I-squared-t (I 2 t = K): t = 16 · t >inv / (I/I>inv)2
• Electromechanical (EM): t = t>inv · {0.28 / [-0236 · (I/I>inv)-1 + 0.339]}
Where:
t: operate time
I>inv : threshold setting
t >inv : operate time setting

curve: t = 16 · t >inv / (I/I>inv)2

Note 1 The programmed value for this parameter affects only the reading of the phase currents, power and energy when the PRIMARY measuring

Similarly for the parameters enabling the second and third threshold (I>> Enable = ON,... Stato = ON,... etc)
Note 3 With a fault current I = 500 A, without enabling the blocking over the first threshold when the start of the second threshold become active, there

Appl-50G-51G.ai
Example N. 1
With reference to the figure above, suppose you want to adjust the protection against ground fault,
with definite time characteristic, threshold of 2 A primary, operate time of 0.38 s for the first element
and 70 A primary, operate time of 0.10 and no reset time delay for both the elements.
The relay nominal frequency must be set to 50 Hz: fn = 50 Hz.
The relay residual nominal current (IEn) must be set to the balance core CT secondary nominal cur-
rent (dip-switch and sw setting): IEn =1 A.
The threshold setting must be adjusted in p.u. of the relay nominal current IEn, according the general
formula:
IE >, IE >>, IE >>> = wanted trip residual current (primary ampere) /(IEn·KTAO)
The characteristic curve must be set as definite time by setting DEFINITE the IE> curve param-
eter inside the Set \ Residual overcurrent - 50N/51N \ IE> Element \ Setpoints menu.[1]
The threshold setting are:
• IE > = 2 /(1·100/1) = 0.020 p.u. IEn
• IE >> = 70 /(1·100/1) = 0.700 p.u. IEn
To adjust the operate time and the reset time delay the settings are:
t E > def = 0.38 s
t E > RES = 0.00 s
t E >> def = 0.10 s
t E >> RES = 0.00 s

With reference to the figure above, suppose you want to adjust the protection against ground fault,
with definite time characteristic, threshold of 150 A primary, operate time of 0.10 s and no reset time
delay.
The relay nominal frequency must be set to 50 Hz: fn = 50 Hz.
The relay residual nominal current (IEn) must be set to the phase CT (Holmgreen connection) second-
ary nominal current (dip-switch and sw setting): IEn = 5 A.
The threshold setting must be adjusted in p.u. of the relay nominal current IEn, according the general
formula:
IE >, IE >>, IE >>> = wanted trip residual current (primary ampere) /(IEn·KCT )
For the example the second threshold of the residual overcurrent protection is considered, so apply-
ing the above formula is:
IE>>def = 150 / (IEn·KCT ) =150 / (5·500/5) = 0.3 p.u. IEn
To adjust the operate time and the reset time delay the settings are:
t E>>def = 0.10 s
t E >> RES = 0.00 s

FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
Overvoltage - 59
Preface
Two operation thresholds, independently adjustable (U>, U>>) with adjustable delay (t U >, t U >>).
The first one may be programmed with definite or inverse time, while the second threshold operates
with definite time characteristic.
U12 =|UL1-UL2|
U23 =|UL2 -UL3|
U31=|UL2 -UL1|
Each of three voltages is compared with the setting values (U>, U>>). The start and trip logic may
be selected OR or AND.
With OR selection, a start is issued when at least one of the three voltages overcomes the adjust-
able threshold (START); after expiry of the associated operate time (t U >, t U >>) a trip command is
issued; if instead the voltages drops below the threshold, the element is restored.
With AND selection, a start is issued when all the three voltages overcome the adjustable threshold;
after expiry of the associated operate time (t U >, t U >>) a trip command is issued; if instead the voltage
drops below the threshold, the element is restored.
The first threshold (U>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curve:
t=0.5 t U >inv / [(U/U>inv) - 1]
Where:
t: operate time
U>inv: threshold setting
t U>inv: operate time setting
The first overvoltage element can be programmed with definite or inverse time characteristic by
setting the U>Curve parameter (DEFINITE, INVERSE) available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \
Overvoltage-59 \ U> Element \ Setpoints menu.
Each element can be enabled or disabled by setting ON or OFF the U> Enable parameter inside

If the U>BLK1 and/or U>>BLK1 enabling parameters are set to ON and a binary input is designed

Example 2
For the same system of the example 1 the purpose is a two thresholds overvoltage phase-to-phase
protection, so:
• The first element with inverse time characteristic with OR logic and threshold equal to 110% of the
Grid nominal voltage and operating time 10 s when the voltage is equal to 130% of the Grid nominal
voltage.
• The second element with definite time characteristic with OR logic and threshold equal to 140% of
the Grid nominal voltage and operating time 1 s.
Nominal settings:
The relay nominal frequency must be set to 50 Hz: fn = 50 Hz.
The nominal voltage (Un) of the line inputs (phase to phase voltage) must be set to the grid nominal
voltage value divided by the VT ratio: Un = Unm / KTV = 6000/60 = 100 V
The voltage measurement type (Phase-to-phase) and the operating logic (OR), is adjustable inside
the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Overvoltage-59 \ Common configuration menu by means the Utype59 and
the Logic59 parameters; the Uph-ph (phase-to-phase) and OR are the proper settings.
U>inv = Wanted operating threshold (primary phase-to-phase volt)/(1.5 ∙ Un ∙ KVT ) so:
U>inv = (1.1 ∙ Ung) / (1.5 ∙ Un ∙ KVT ) = 1.1 ∙ 10000 / 1.5 ∙ (100 ∙ 100) = 0.733 p.u. Un
The setting is: U>inv = 0.73 Un
Since the requested operate time for the first threshold is 3 s when the phase voltage is equal to
130% of the Grid phase nominal voltage, the operating time setting t U >inv (conventionally related
to the phase voltage equal to 150% of the setting threshold) must be defined according the formula
(characteristic curve): t = 0.5 / (U/U>inv -1) ∙ t U >inv
The t U >inv setting may be defined:
• t = 10 s
• U = 1.3 ∙ Ung / √3) / (Un ∙ KVT ) = 1.3 p.u. Un
from which:
t U >inv = t ∙ (U/U>inv-1) / 0.5 = 10 ∙ (1.3/0.733-1) / 0.5 = 15.45 s
The first threshold operating time to be set is:t U >inv = 15.5 s
The second threshold setting (definite time characteristic), must be defined according the formula:
U>> def = wanted phase operating threshold (primary volt)/(Un ∙ KVT ) so:
U>> def = 1.4 ∙ Unm / (Un ∙ KTV ) = 1.4 ∙ 6000 / 100 ∙ 60 = 1.4 p.u. Un
The setting are:
• U>> def = 1.40 Un

Overvoltage protection with phase voltage measure and two operating thresholds:
• First threshold trip with inverse time characteristic when at least one phase voltage becomes high-
er than 110% of the Grid nominal phase voltage and with 10 s operate time for the 130% of the Grid
nominal phase voltage.
• Second threshold with definite time when at least one phase voltage becomes lower than 140% of
the Grid nominal phase voltage and with 1 s operate time.
For the setting purposes the NA60 - ThySensor pair is equivalent to a NA60 with Un = 100 V with
traditional VT with ratio KTV = (20000 / √3) / (100 / √3) = 200.
The relay nominal frequency must be set to 50 Hz: fn = 50 Hz.
The nominal voltage (Un) of the line inputs (phase to phase voltage) must be set to the grid nominal
voltage value divided by the VT ratio:
Since the requested operate time for the first threshold is 3 s when the phase voltage is equal to
130% of the Grid phase nominal voltage, the operating time setting t U >inv (conventionally related
to the phase voltage equal to 150% of the setting threshold) must be defined according the formula
(characteristic curve):
t = 0.5 / (U/U>inv -1) ∙ t U >inv
The t U >inv setting may be defined:
• t = 10 s
• U = (1.3 ∙ Ung / √3) / (En ∙ KVT ) = 1.3 p.u. En
from which: t U >inv = t ∙ (U/U>-1) / 0.5 = 10 ∙ (1.3/0.733-1) / 0.5 = 15.45 s
The first threshold operating time to be set is:t U >inv = 15.5 s
The second threshold setting (definite time characteristic), must be defined according the general
formula:
U>> def = wanted phase operating threshold (primary volt)/(En ∙ KVT ) so:
U>> def = (1.4 ∙ Ung /√3) / (En ∙ KVT ) = (1.4 ∙ 10000 / √3) / 100/√3 ∙ 100 = 1.4 p.u. En
The setting are:
• U>> def = 1.4 En
• t U >> def = 1 s

FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
Residual overvoltage - 59N
Preface
Two operation thresholds, independently adjustable (UE >, UE >>) with adjustable delay (t UE >, t UE >>).
The first one (UE >) may be programmed with definite or inverse time, while the second threshold
operates with definite time characteristic.
Each threshold may be separately enabled or disabled.
The first threshold trip (UE >) may be inhibited by start of the second threshold (UE >>).
Operation and settings
Two measuring criteria of the residual voltage are provided:
• Direct
• Calculated.
For direct measure the fundamental component of the residual voltage input is used (UE ), whereas,
for calculated measure (UEC) the residual voltage comes from a vector sum of three phase voltage
phasors.
UEC =|UL1+UL2 +UL3|
The residual voltage (UE or UEC) is compared with the setting values (UE >, UE >>); a start is issued
when the residual voltage overcomes the adjustable threshold (START); after expiry of the associ-
ated operate time (t UE >, t UE >>) a trip command is issued; if instead the voltage drops below the
threshold, the element is restored.
The first threshold (UE >) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curve:
t=0.5 t UE > / [(UE /UE >inv) - 1] or
t=0.5 t UE > / [(UEC /UE >inv) - 1]
Where:
UE : measured residual voltage
UEC : calculated residual voltage
t: operate time
UE >inv: threshold setting
t UE>inv: operate time setting
The first residual overvoltage element can be programmed with definite or inverse time character-
istic by setting the UE> Curve parameter (DEFINITE, INVERSE) available inside the Set \ Profile

With reference to the figure above, you would like a residual voltage protection with star-star VTs
and residual voltage calculated as follows:
• First threshold trip with inverse time characteristic when the residual voltage becomes higher than
10% of the residual voltage on a single-phase ground fault.
• 3 s operate time with 200% of setting voltage.
• No delay time at the rest.
The relay nominal frequency must be set to 50 Hz: fn = 50 Hz.
The nominal voltage (UEn) of the residual voltage input must be set to the Grid nominal voltage value
divided by the VT ratio:
Un = Unm / KTV = 6000 / (6000/√3)/[(100/√3) = 6000 / 60 = 100 V
The calculated rated voltage of the relay UECn must be set to the value of the rated voltage of the
relay multiplied by √ 3, then:
UECn = Relay nominal voltage in volt · √3 = 100 · √3 = 173 V
The adjustment of any protection threshold[1] must be programmed to the nominal value of the re-
sidual voltage relay UECn; with inverse time characteristic, the maximum operating threshold is equal
to 110% of setting.
The characteristic curve must be set as inverse time by setting INVERSE the UE> curve param-
eter inside the Set \ Residual overvoltage - 59N \ UE> Element \ Setpoints menu.
The adjustment of the first threshold is then calculated with the following general formula:
UE > = Minimum desired residual voltage desiderata in primary volt /(1.1·UECn·KTV )
so:
UE >inv =10%·UEg /(1.1·UECn·KTV ) = 0.1·6000·√3/(1.1·100·√3·60) = 0.09 p.u. UECn
Since the required operating time is 3 s with an input residual voltage equal to 200% of the setting,
the operating time tUE >inv (conventionally related to the phase voltage equal to 150% of the setting
threshold) must be calculated from the formula:
It then calculates the t UE >inv setting entering into the equation above:
t=3s
UE = 2 · UE >
showing:
t UE >inv =t·[(UE /UE >inv)-1]/0.5 = 3·(2-1)/0.5 = 6 s

Residual overvoltage protection with phase voltage measure by means of ThySensor (star-star) and
computed residual voltage:
• First threshold trip with inverse time characteristic when the residual voltage becomes higher than
10% of the residual voltage on a single-phase ground fault.
• 3 s operate time with 200% of setting voltage.
• No delay time at the rest.
For the setting purposes the NA60 - ThySensor pair is equivalent to a NA60 with Un = 100 V with
traditional VT with ratio KTV = (20000 / √3) / (100 / √3) = 200.
The nominal voltage (UEn) of the residual voltage input must be set to the Grid nominal voltage value
divided by the VT ratio:
Un = Ung / KTV = 20000 / (20000/√3)/(100/√3) = 20000 / 200 = 100 V
The calculated rated voltage of the relay UECn must be set to the value of the rated voltage of the
relay multiplied by √ 3, then:
UECn = Relay nominal voltage in volt · √3 = 100 · √3 = 173 V
The residual voltage on a phase-ground fault is given by:
UEg = Ung · √3 = 20000·√3 = 34641 V
The adjustment of any protection threshold[1] must be programmed to the nominal value of the re-
sidual voltage relay UECn; with inverse time characteristic, the maximum operating threshold is equal
to 110% of setting.
The characteristic curve must be set as inverse time by setting INVERSE the UE> curve param-
eter inside the Set \ Residual overvoltage - 59N \ UE> Element \ Setpoints menu.
The adjustment of the first threshold is then calculated with the following general formula:
UE > = Minimum desired residual voltage desiderata in primary volt /(1.1·UECn·KTV )
so:
UE >inv =10%·UEg /(1.1·UECn·KTV ) = 0.1·20000·√3 / (1.1·100·√3·200) = 0.09 p.u. UECn
Since the required operating time is 3 s with an input residual voltage equal to 200% of the setting,
the operating time tUE >inv (conventionally related to the phase voltage equal to 150% of the setting
threshold) must be calculated from the formula:
t = 0.5·t UE >inv /[(UE /UE >inv) - 1]
Si calcola quindi la regolazione t UE >inv inserendo nella equazione sopra riportata:
t=3s
UE = 2 · UE >
da cui risulta:
t UE >inv =t · [(UE /UE >inv) -1]/0.5 = 3 · (2-1)/0.5 = 6 s

Phase directional overcurrent - 67
Preface
Four operation thresholds, independently adjustable (IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>> ,IPD>>>>) with adjustable delay
(tPD>, tPD>>, tPD>>>, tPD>>>>).
Each overcurrent element can be enabled or disabled.
The first two may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the IEC and ANSI/IEEE
standard, as well as with rectifier, I2t or EM curve.
The third and fourth thresholds with independent time.
Several operating mode are provided:
• Module or projection operating mode.
• One phase or two phase operating logic.
• 74VT internal and/or external logic.
Moreover several predefined blocking criteria are implemented (threshold trip may be inhibited by
start of the other thresholds, logic selectivity with internal and/or external elements, etc.).
To increase reliability for three phase short circuits close the VTs, a voltage memory is provided; this
memory voltage is used for reference to detect fault direction when all phase-to-phase voltages are
lower than 2% Un and remains valid for 1 s after voltage collapse.
Operation and settings
The first and second threshold (IPD >, IPD >>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time ac-
cording the following characteristic curves:
• Standard Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT): t = 0.14 · t PD >inv / [(IPD/IPD >inv)0.02 - 1]
• Very Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT): t = 13.5 · t PD >inv / [(IPD/IPD >inv) - 1]
• Extremely Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT): t = 80 · t PD >inv / [(IPD/IPD >inv)2 - 1]
• Moderately Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type MI): t = tPD>inv · {0.01 / [(IPD/IPD>inv)0.02 - 1] + 0.023}
• Very Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type VI): t = tPD>inv · {3.922 / [(IPD/IPD>inv)2 - 1] + 0.098}
• Extremely Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type EI): t = tPD>inv · {5.64 / [(IPD/IPD>inv)2 - 1] + 0.024}
• Rectifier (RI): t = 2351 · t PD >inv / [(IPD/IPD >inv)5.6 - 1]
• I-squared-t (I 2 t = K): t = 16 · t PD >inv / (IPD/IPD >inv)2
• Electromechanical (EM): t = tPD>inv · {0.28 / [-0236 · (IPD/IPD>inv)-1 + 0.339]}

FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
Therefore, for both operating mode, the following criteria applies:
• L1 phase: α1 phase displacement of the IL1 current phasor compared with the U23 , phasor, negative
for lagging current compared with voltage (α1 = ∠ U23 - ∠ IL1).
• L2 phase: α2 phase displacement of the IL2 current phasor compared with the U31, phasor, negative
for lagging current compared with voltage (α2 = ∠ U31 - ∠ IL2 ).
• L3 phase: α3 phase displacement of the IL3 current phasor compared with the U12 , phasor, negative
for lagging current compared with voltage (α3 = ∠ U12 - ∠ IL3).
The operating mode may be selected by setting the Mode67 parameter, located inside the Set \
Profile A(or B) \ Directional phase overcurrent-67 \ Common configuration menu.
The settable operating mode is I (module) or I*cos (projection).
For each of the four thresholds (IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>>, IPD>>>>), the characteristic angle (θ>, θ>>, θ>>>,
θ>>>>) may be adjusted (setting range 0…359° common for the three phases).
The characteristic angle setting (positive when counterclockwise compared the polarizing voltage)
specifies the angular displacement of the characteristic axis standing for the trip bisector of the
tripping zone (half plane 180° wide).
With a characteristic angle setting inside the 0°...90° or 270°...359° range the faults in the “LINE zone”
are detected, while with a characteristic angle setting inside the 91°...269 range the faults in the
“BUS zone” are detected.
All the named parameters can be set separately for the four thresholds and for definite or inverse
time settings menus.

Operating characteristics of the phase directional overcurrent elements - 67 with projection operating mode (I∙cos)
For all the four thresholds (IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>>, IPD>>>>), the operating mode when the 74VT function
is active may be defined:
• OFF: no action are issued by 74VT.
• Block: all the four thresholds are blocked when the 74VT function is active.
• Not directional: all the four thresholds are switched from directional to not directional criteria
when the 74VT function is active.
The 74VT information may issued from internal 74VT function or from an external signal acquired by
means a binary input.
NA60 - Manual - 04 - 2022 131
FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
If a binary input is designed for 74VText, for all the four thresholds the operating mode, when the 74VT
function is active may be defined:
• OFF: no action are issued by 74VT.
• Block: all the four thresholds are blocked when the 74VT external signal is active.
• Not directional: all the four thresholds are switched from directional to not directional criteria
when the 74VT external signal is active.
The 74VTint67 and 74VText67 parameters may be set as OFF, Block, Not directional inside
the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Directional phase overcurrent-67 \ Common configuration menu, while the
74VText function must be assigned to the selected binary inputs inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary
input IN1(x) menus (IN1 or INx matching).
Malfunctioning of the directional overcurrent elements can be avoided when VTs secondary fault
will arise (fuse or MCB tripping) by switching the overcurrent directional to non directional overcur-
rent protection.

Operating mode and logic concerning the phase directional overcurrent protection - 67 criteri-F67.ai
Module
If the module principle and the one of three - 1/3 operation logic are selected, the start of any 67
threshold becomes active when the following condition are contemporaneously active:
A) For at least one phase the current (IL1, IL2 , IL3) fundamental component overcomes the threshold
(IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>>, IPD>>>>).
B) The current phasor concerning the phase whereof the A) condition is located inside the angular sec-
tor defined by own characteristic angle (ThetaP>, ThetaP>>, ThetaP>>>, ThetaP>>>>) parameter,
that is the -90° ≤ (ThetaP-αx) ≤ +90° (x=1, 2, 3) condition is fulfilled.
If the operation mode is switched to “not directional” (by the 74VT function), the B) condition is not
supervised (the A condition is comfortable).
After expiry of the associated operate time (t PD>, t PD>>, t PD>>>, t PD>>>>) a trip command is issued; if
instead the A) and B) conditions current don’t remain valid, the element it is restored.
If the module principle and the two of three - 2/3 operation logic are selected, the start of any 67
threshold becomes active when the following condition are contemporaneously active:
C) For at least two phases the current (IL1 and IL2 , IL2 and IL3 , IL3 and IL1) fundamental component
overcomes the threshold (IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>>, IPD>>>>).
D) The current phasors concerning the phase pair whereof the C) condition is located inside the angular
sector defined by own characteristic angle (ThetaP>, ThetaP>>, ThetaP>>>, ThetaP>>>>) parameter,
that is the -90° ≤ (ThetaP-αx) ≤ +90° (x=1, 2, 3) condition is fulfilled.
If the operation mode is switched to “not directional” (by the 74VT function), the D) condition is not
supervised and the operation logic is automatically forced to one of three - 1/3 (the A condition is
comfortable).
When the operate time (t PD>, t PD>>, t PD>>>, t PD>>>>) is expired a trip command is issued; if instead the
C) and D) conditions current don’t remain valid, the element it is restored.
Projection
If the projection principle and the one of three - 1/3 operation logic are selected, the start of any 67
threshold becomes active when the following condition are contemporaneously active:
• If the operation mode is not switched to “not directional” (by the 74VT function), when the pro-
jection of the current phasor on the characteristic axis ILxcos(ThetaP>-αx), ILxcos(ThetaP>>-αx),
ILxcos(ThetaP>>>-αx), ILxcos(ThetaP>>>>-αx) where x=1, 2, 3 of at least one phase is positive and
overcomes the setting threshold (IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>>, IPD>>>>), a start signal is issued.
NA60 - Manual - 04 - 2022 132
FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
• If the operation mode is switched to “not directional” (by the 74VT function), when at least one
phase current (IL1, IL2 , IL3) overcomes the setting threshold (IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>>, IPD>>>>), a start
signal is issued. (no displacement or projection condition are required for tripping).
After expiry of the associated operate time (t PD>, t PD>>, t PD>>>, t PD>>>>) a trip command is issued; if
instead the above conditions don’t remain valid, the element it is restored.
If the projection principle and the two of three - 2/3 operation logic are selected, the start of any 67

• If the operation mode is not switched to “not directional” (by the 74VT function), when the pro-
jection of the current phasor on the characteristic axis ILxcos(ThetaP>-αx), ILxcos(ThetaP>>-αx),
ILxcos(ThetaP>>>-αx), ILxcos(ThetaP>>-αx where x=1 e 2, 2 e 3, 3 e 1) of at least two phases is
positive and overcomes the setting threshold (IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>>, IPD>>>>), a start signal is issued
• If the operation mode is switched to “not directional” (by the 74VT function), when at least a pair
of phase currents (IL1 e IL2 , IL2 e IL3 , IL3 e IL1) overcomes the setting threshold (IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>>,
IPD>>>>), a start signal is issued. (no displacement or projection condition are required for tripping).
After expiry of the associated operate time (t PD>, t PD>>, t PD>>>, t PD>>>>) a trip command is issued; if
instead the above conditions don’t remain valid, the element it is restored.

FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
Internal selective block (Block4)
As well as to send or transmit a selective block toward other protective relays, each protective
element may be enabled for receive or transmit a selective block from/to other internal protective
elements.[1]
The internal selective block of one or more element concerning the directional phase overcurrent
function may be enabled/disabled by means the IPD>BLK4, IPD>>BLK4, IPD>>>BLK4 and/or
IPD>>>>BLK4 parameters (virtual input and output common to all protective thresholds); the fol-
lowing operating modes are available:
• IN - the element is enabled to receive the selective block from an internal input.
• OUT - the element is enabled to send the selective block to an internal output.
• OFF - the element is disabled to send/receive the internal selective block.
Transmission and reception for the same element is not allowed, so any stall situation due to wrong
setting is avoided.
The internal selective block can work together with an external selective block from other protective
relays (Block2).
Voltage memory
To increase reliability for three phase short circuits close the VTs, a voltage memory is provided; this
memory voltage is used for reference to detect fault direction when all phase-to-phase voltages are
lower than 2% Un and remains valid for 1 s after voltage collapse.
During the interval a virtual voltage with the same phase and frequency of the previous period to
fault is employed as reference voltage.

With reference to the above figure, suppose you want to adjust the three thresholds overcurrent

The directional element is used to prevent unwanted trips against faults between phases outside
the user network.
Settings: characteristic angle 60° for the first element (overload protection), 30° for the second and
third element (short circuit protection) with displacement of current phasors di fase compared to the
phase-phase voltage phasors, (current lags the voltage) α1 = 30°
Example with CT inputs
The relay nominal current (In) must be set to the CTs secondary nominal current (dip-switch and sw
setting): In =5 A.
The settings of any of the three elements must be related to the nominal current value of the of the
relay, with definite time characteristic, they are calculated using the following general formula:
IPD > def, IPD >>def, IPD >>>def = = desired trip current (primary ampere ) /(In∙KCT )
Because a time-dependent curve for the first threshold is required you must first select what type
of standard curve is the better approximation; by a comparison with the characteristics given in the
appendix that it is a curve IEC very inverse time type B with adjustable tripping time 0.11 s.
The characteristic curve must be set as definite time by setting DEFINITE the IPD> curve param-
eter inside the Set \ Profile A (or B) /Directional phase overcurrent -67 \ IPD> Element \ Setpoints
menu.
No time delay is required at the rest.
With 300/5 CTs ratio, the correct settings are:
• Trip threshold (second element) I>> def : 250/300 = 0.83 In
• Trip threshold (third element) I>>> def : 600/300 = 2.00 In
• Trip threshold (fourth element) I>>> defIPD >>>>def : disabled
NA60 - Manual - 04 - 2022 145
FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
The relay nominal current (In) must be set to the CTs secondary nominal current (dip-switch and sw
setting): In =5 A, the primary nominal current (Inp) must be set to the CTs primary nominal current:
In = 300 A.[1]
To adjust the first threshold[2], with inverse time characteristic, the maximum trip value is equal to
110% of setting; the setting is then calculated using the following general formula:
I>inv = desired trip current (primary ampere) /(1.1∙In∙KTA ), so:
I>inv = 64 A / (1.1 · 5 · 300/5) = 58.2 /300 = 0.194 In.
The relay nominal frequency must be set to 50 Hz: fn = 50 Hz.
The settings are:
Power Grid
NA60
KTA = 630A/5A
3x 67 Inp = 630 A In
For the setting purposes the NA60 - ThySensor pair is equivalent to a NA60 with In = 5A with tradi-
tional CT with ratio KCT = 630 / 5; the relay nominal current is automatically set.
The relay nominal frequency must be set to 50 Hz: fn = 50 Hz.
The primary nominal current Inp must be adjusted to the primary rated current of the ThySensors, so
Inp = 630 A.[1]
The settings are:
• IPD >> def : 250/630 = 0.397 In
• IPD >>> def : 600/630 = 0.952 In
• IPD >>>>def : disabled
Because a time-dependent curve for the first threshold is required you must first select what type
of standard curve is the better approximation; by a comparison with the characteristics given in the
appendix that it is a curve IEC very inverse time type B with adjustable tripping time 0.11 s.
The characteristic curve must be set as definite time by setting DEFINITE the IPD> curve param-
eter inside the Set \ Profile A (or B) /Directional phase overcurrent -67 \ IPD> Element \ Setpoints
menu.
Note 1 The programmed value for this parameter affects only the reading of the phase currents, power and energy when the PRIMARY measuring
reading mode is selected.
Note 2 The element must be enabled (I> Enable = ON) inside menu:
Set \ Profile A (or B) /Phase overcurrent - 50/51 \ I> Element \ Setpoints, end the parameter State = ON concerning the I>inv inside:
Set \ Profile A (or B) /Phase overcurrent - 50/51 \ I> Element \ Inverse time
Similarly for the parameters enabling the second and third threshold (I>> Enable = ON,... Stato = ON,... etc)
Note 3 With a fault current I = 500 A, without enabling the blocking over the first threshold when the start of the second threshold become active, there
would be a trip of the first threshold in 0.195 s (green curve in the example)

Preface
Four operation thresholds, independently adjustable (IED>, IED>>, IED>>> ,IED>>>>) with adjustable delay

Each element can be enabled or disabled.
The first two may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the IEC and ANSI/IEEE
standard, as well as with rectifier, EM curve.
The third and fourth thresholds with independent time.
Moreover several predefined blocking criteria are implemented (threshold trip may be inhibited by
start of the other thresholds, logic selectivity with internal and/or external elements, etc.).
• Standard Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT): t = 0.14 · t ED >inv / [(IED/IED >inv)0.02 - 1]

For each of the four thresholds (IED >, IED >>, IED >>>, IED >>>>) , the characteristic angle (ϑE>, ϑE>>,
ϑE>>>, ϑE>>>>) may be adjusted (setting range 0…359° common for the three phases).
The the characteristic angle setting (positive when clockwise compared the polarizing voltage)
specifies the angular displacement of the characteristic axis standing for the trip bisector of the
tripping zone.
For isolated neutral systems with a 90° characteristic angle setting, faults towards the LINE are
detected, while with a 270° characteristic angle setting, faults towards the BUS are detected.
All the named parameters can be set separately for the four thresholds and for definite or inverse
time settings menu
For each of the four thresholds (IED >, IED >>, IED >>>, IED >>>>), the half operating sector may be ad-
justed (setting range 0…180° simmetrically regarding the characteristic axis).
NA60 - Manual - 04 - 2022 149
FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
All the named parameters can be set separately for the four thresholds and for definite or inverse
time settings menu.
For all the four thresholds (IED>, IED>>, IED>>>, IED>>>>), the operating mode when the 74VT function is
active may be defined:
• OFF: no action are issued by 74VT.
• Block: all the four thresholds are blocked when the 74VT function is active.
• Not directional: all the four thresholds are switched from directional to not directional criteria
when the 74VT function is active.
The 74VT information may issued from internal 74VT function or from an external signal acquired by
means a binary input.
If a binary input is designed for 74VText, for all the four thresholds, the operating mode when the 74VT
function is active may be defined:
• OFF: no action are issued by 74VT.
• Block: all the four thresholds are blocked when the 74VT external signal is active.
• Not directional: all the four thresholds are switched from directional to not directional criteria
when the 74VT external signal is active.
Malfunctioning of the directional overcurrent elements can be avoided when VTs secondary fault
will arise (fuse or MCB tripping) by switching the overcurrent directional to non directional overcur-
rent protection
The 74VTint67N and 74VText67N parameters may be set as OFF, Block, Not directional inside
the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Directional earth fault overcurrent-67N \ Common configuration menu,
while the 74VText function must be assigned to the selected binary inputs inside the Set \ Inputs \
Binary input IN1(x) menus (IN1 or INx matching).
For all the four thresholds (common for all thresholds) an insensibility zone may be enabled in the
voltage-current plane.
If enabled, the insensibility zone is user adjustable by means the M multiplier (common for all thresh-
olds); the rectangle defined by the current and voltage thresholds and the same multiplied by M
becomes a No trip zone.
Such insensibility zone may be useful to avoid unwanted trip in the presence of some fixed residual
current and/or voltage (e.g. CT and or VT errors in the residual measurements).
The Insens-Zone (OFF, ON) and M parameters may be adjusted inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \
Directional earth fault overcurrent-67N \ Common configuration menu.

-βE ≤ (ΘE-ΦE) ≤ +βE condition is fulfilled.
If the operation mode is switched to “not directional” (by the 74VT function), the start of any 67N

side the Set\Profile A(or B)\Directional earth fault overcurrent-67N \ Common configuration menu.
The settable operating mode is I (module) or I*cos (projection).

-βE ≤ (ΘE-ΦE) ≤ +βE condition is fulfilled.[1]
If the operation mode is switched to “not directional” (by the 74VT function), the start of any 67N
threshold becomes active when the following is complied:
- The residual current (IE ) fundamental component overcomes the threshold (IED>, IED>>, IED>>>,
IED>>>>)
For both the operating mode (module or projection), when the start signal goes ON a concerning
counter starts; after expiry of the associated operate time (t ED>, t ED>>, t ED>>>, t ED>>>>) a trip command
is issued, if instead the above conditions don’t remain valid, the element it is restored.
All the parameters are located inside the menus concerning the four elements, separately for defi-
nite and inverse time characteristics.

Note 1 For each threshold the projection of the residual current phasor on the characteristic axis is: IEcos(ΘE>-ΦE), IEcos(ΘE>>-ΦE), IEcos(ΘE>>>-ΦE),
IEcos(ΘE>>>>-ΦE) when “direct” residual voltage is selected (UE), or
IEcos(ΘE>-ΦEC), IEcos(ΘE>>-ΦEC), IEcos(ΘE>>>-ΦEC), IEcos(ΘE>>>>-ΦEC) when “calculated” residual voltage is selected (UEC).
The ΘE , βE and ΦEC symbols are not used inside the ThyVisor and MMI menus.
Note 2 The common settings concerning the Breaker failure protection are adjustable inside the Breaker Failure - BF menu.

If the CLP function (Cold Load Pick-up) is enabled for threshold change, the selected threshold may
be changed for an adjustable time interval, starting from the circuit breaker closure.
This operating mode (ON-Change setting = IEDCLP> Mode, IEDCLP>> Mode, IED-
CLP>>> Mode, IEDCLP>>>> Mode) and the concerning operating time within the CLP (tED-
CLP>, tEDCLP>>, tEDCLP>>>, tEDCLP>>>>) may be adjusted inside the Set \ Profile

IEDCLP>inv,....) may be adjusted inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Directional earth fault overcur-
rent-67N \ IED> Element (IED>> Element, IED>>> Element, IED>>> Element) \ Definite time (Inverse

For every of the four thresholds the following block criteria are available:
Logical block (Block1)
If the IED>BLK1, IED>>BLK1, IED>>>BLK1 and/or IED>>>>BLK1 enabling parameters
are set to ON and a binary input is designed for logical block (Block1), the concerning element
is blocked off whenever the given input is active.[1] The enabling parameters are available inside
the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Directional earth fault overcurrent-67N \ IED> Element (IED>> Element,
IED>>> Element, IED>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus, while the Block1 function must be assigned
to the selected binary input inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary input IN1(x) menus.

FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
Internal selective block (Block4)
As well as to send or transmit a selective block toward other protective relays, each protective
element may be enabled for receive or transmit a selective block from/to other internal protective
elements.[1]
The internal selective block of one or more element concerning the directional earth fault overcur-
rent function may be enabled/disabled by means the IED>BLK4, IED>>BLK4, IED>>>BLK4
and/or IED>>>>BLK4 parameters (virtual input and output common to all protective thresholds);
the following operating modes are available:
• IN - the element is enabled to receive the selective block from an internal input.
• OUT - the element is enabled to send the selective block to an internal output.
• OFF - the element is disabled to send/receive the internal selective block.
Transmission and reception for the same element is not allowed, so any stall situation due to wrong
setting is avoided.
The internal selective block can work together with an external selective block from other protective
relays (Block2).
Nota 1 The exhaustive treatment of the internal selective block (Block 4) function may be found in the “Internal selective block” paragraph inside
CONTROL AND MONITORING section.

The relay residual nominal current (IEn) must be set to the balance core CT secondary nominal cur-

The nominal voltage (UEn) of the residual voltage input must be set to the grid phase nominal voltage
value , multiplied for √3 and divided by the VT ratio:
UEn =(Grid nominal voltage in volt) ∙ √3 / VTs ratio (KVT )
UEn = Ung / KTV = =(10000·√3)/[(10000/√3)/100/3] = (10000·√3)/(100·√3) = 100 V
You must select the operating mode 67 N “module”, the type of measurement of residual voltage as

The settings of any of the four elements must be scheduled in the current nominal value of the re-

Appl-67N-thysensor.ai
With reference to the figure above, suppose you want to adjust the directional earth fault protection
as a protection against phase to ground fault of a neutral isolated network as follows:
• Residual current threshold: 5 A primary
• residual voltage threshold equal to 10% of the residual voltage in the presence of phase ground
fault.
• Trip sector: 0° - 180° lags the residual voltage (varmetric)
• tempo di intervento 0,10 s
• Operate time: 0,10 s
• Operating mode: module, definite time characteristic.
For the setting purposes the NA60 - ThySensor pair is equivalent to a NA60 with Un = 100 V traditional
VT with ratio KTV = (20000 / √3) / (100 / √3) = 200.
The characteristic curve must be set as definite time by setting DEFINITE the IED> curve param-
eter inside the Set \ Directional earth fault overcurrent - 67N \ IED> Element \ Setpoints menu.[1]

0.050 IEn (residual current threshold)
0.100 UEn (residual voltage threshold)
90 gr (characteristic angle)
90 gr (trip half sector, corresponding to 0...180°)
If both conditions are held along the set operate time t BF (H)>, the BF element trips at deadline, vice
versa the timer is cleared and the function is restored.
To the purpose to restore the BF element as quickly as possible, with start of the same protection
(see A condition), additionally to the trip of some internal protections, their starts are required (start
reset is faster than trip reset).
The element may be enabled or disabled by setting ON the BF Enable parameter available inside
the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Breaker failure-BF menu.

With a setting other than 0.00 s, the t B-Iph and t B-IE timers may be used to have a backup protection
available against pilot wire short circuit.[1]
The t B-Iph and/or t B-IE timers must be adjusted according the following rule (example for t B-Iph):
t B-Iph = t F v + et + es
where t F v is the value of block output timer related to the downstream relay (example t F-Iph), et is a
chronometric selectivity margin to apply in comparison to the t B-Iph time related to the downstream
relay (does not take into account if such margin has been considered for the t F-Iph setting), es is a
safety margin. The chronometric selectivity applied among the t B-x times of the relays in accelerated
logic system allows to avoid more the contemporary circuit breaker opening after the clearing of a
fault in a line of concomitant plant to the short-circuit of the pilot wires concerning the same line.
Note 1 In the absence of suitable provisions, a short circuit on a pilot wire causes the block of the receiving relay, so a possible fault (contemporary or
following) inside the protected zone, cannot be cleared that being the case the protective relay blocked.

Operation
The selective block outputs go ON at the same time of the xx element start; they hold steady (even
if the start reset to zero) for along the t F-IPh, t F-IE and t F-IPh/IE adjustable times for phase, earth and
phase+earth functions.
The timers starts when one or more selective block function goes ON; when a timer expires, the
selective block outputs are disregarded (even if the start holds steady).
The t F-IPh and t F-IE counters start when the output selective block becomes active. When the coun-
ters expire the block selective output is forced off (despite the start xxx remain active).
If the t F-IPh, t F-IE e t F-IPh/IE timers are cleared the selective block output state is freeze up to the start
xxx remain active.
With a setting other than 0.00 s, the t F-IPh, t F-IE e t F-IPh/IE timers may be used to provide a backup
protection against breaker failure inside a selectivity logic system, as well as to hold blocked up-
stream protective relays up after the fault is cleared with CB opening to provide solution against
unwanted trips because of a larger reset time compared with the downstream relay (the selectivity
will be lost).

With traditional selective logic systems, in the absence of suitable cares, the event of a circuit
breaker failure causes the block of the receiving relays situated upstream the circuit breaker, so the
fault cannot be cleared.
When using the Pro-N devices inside the selective logic systems, the answer to the circuit breaker
failure problem can be solved by means of, (as well as the BF-Breaker Failure element) or by means
of a threshold adjusted for time selectivity, through use of the output block reset timer too with the
intent that avoid permanently block of all upstream relays by downstream block signals (the only one
unblocked relays deals to the fault breaker).
The t F-IPh, t F-IE, t F-IPh/IE timers must be adjusted according the following rule (example for t F-Iph):
t F-Iph = t + TAP + trip + et + es
where t is the larger phase protection operate time, TAP is the circuit breaker operate time (with arc
extinction), trip is the larger reset time of all protective relays inside the selective logic system, et is
an potential selectivity margin relative to the t F-x time of the downstream relays, es is a safety margin
need to include timers errors (tolerances).
Diagnostic
To guarantee maximum fail-safety, the relay performs a run time monitoring for pilot wire continuity
and pilot wire shorting.[1]
Exactly the output blocking circuit periodically produces a pulse, having a small enough width in
order to be ignored as an effective blocking signal by the input blocking circuit of the upstream
protection, but suitable to prove the continuity of the pilot wire.
Furthermore a permanent activation (or better, with a duration longer than a preset time) of the
blocking signal is identified, as a warning for a possible short circuit in the pilot wire or in the output
circuit of the downstream protection.

If no pulses are received inside an adjustable time window at the selective block input circuit, a

Note 1 Full diagnostic of pilot wires is only available when committed pilot wire input/outputs are employed
Note 2 When several outputs are parallel linked the pulse emission must be enabled inside one device only, sooner inside the outermost device

In reference to the above shown schematic diagram, the logic selectivity is performed by means of
the dedicated I/O for the short circuit elements of A, B and C protective relays, so that if a fault arises
in (2), the open order or circuit breaker CB2 is issued and no trip is issued by A device.
A command must be issued for the main circuit breaker CB1 by the A relay with a fault in (1).

The internal selective block can work together with an external selective block from other protective
relays (Block2 input and Block2 output).
For any element the logic state of the internal output block and the trip state are defined by:
• Start threshold
• Internal selective logic block
according to the following table.
• If the xxx threshold is started, regardless of the internal input and output, the element is always
OFF (no trip).
• If the xxx threshold start stay ON within the operating time and the internal input is OFF, when the
timer expires the trip goes ON.
• If the xxx threshold is started and the internal input is ON, the xxx threshold is blocked (the operat-
ing timer is forced to reset); the element is OFF (no trip).
The internal selective block output goes ON when the threshold is started and stays ON (despite the
start goes OFF) along an adjustable time tFI-Iph common for all phase elements 50-51-67 or tFI-IE com-
mon for all earth elements 50N-51N-67N.
The t FI-IPh and t FI-IE counters start when the output selective block becomes active; when the coun-
ters expire the internal block selective output is forced OFF (despite the start xxx remain active).

Some output relays may be programmed for remote trip function resulting from a command coming

The setting of I2ndh> and t2ndh>RES parameters are available inside the
Set\Profile A(B)\Second Harmonic Restraint menus.
The second harmonic element may be enabled or disabled; to enable it, the I2ndh> Enable param-
eter must be set to ON inside the Set\Profile A(B)\Second Harmonic Restraint menus.
All the parameters can be set separately for Profile A and Profile B.
The output may be assigned to the selected I2ndh>-ST-K output relays inside the
Set\Profile A(B)\Second Harmonic Restraint submenu; the same for addressing the LED indicators
(I2ndh>-ST-L).
When output relays are programmed for second harmonic element output, the t TR time delays must
reset to zero; the operation mode must be set with self reset (No-latched inside Set\Relays sub-
menu) and the Logic parameters (Energized/De-energized) must be programmed in the same way
of the related binary input connected with-it.
When the circuit breaker closed condition is detected, the CLP timer set in the submenu of CLP func-
tion is initiated and, throughout the CLP set time:
• The threshold is blocked if CLP is set to ON threshold block.
• The threshold is changed to the value that is set if CLP is set to ON threshold change.
When CLP timer has elapsed, the threshold is unblocked if CLP is set to ON threshold block or the
threshold is revert back to the original value if CLP is set to ON threshold change.
Note that when the circuit breaker is open, the threshold is already blocked if CLP is set to ON
threshold block or the threshold is already changed to the value if CLP is set to ON threshold change:
this is useful in order to avoid unwanted tripping due to unblocked threshold or threshold with his
original value for cases where a delay of the circuit breaker closing happen, i.e. where the three
poles of the CB do not close at the same time or during long CB closing time.
Typical applications where the CLP feature may be useful are for overcurrent protections on feeders
where the circuit breaker closing starts air conditioning/heating loads after a long cooling time, mo-
tors or more generally momentary large loads.
The CLP may be also useful for instantaneous ground fault overcurrent protections on motors start-
ing, because it is likely that incorrect operation of the protection would occur on imbalance transient
secondary current due to asymmetric line CTs saturation.
Depending upon the magnitude and duration of the starting current, it may be necessary to block
operation of thresholds or raising his setting. Also a combination of both blocking some thresholds
and raising others may be adopted.
For each threshold the CLP function may be disabled (OFF), enabled with threshold blocking (ON-
Element blocking) or enabled with threshold change (ON-Change setting) by means the xx-
CLPx Mode parameter.
The operating mode and the relative activation time concerning each threshold of the 49, 50/51, 50N/51N,

FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
VT supervision - 74VT
Preface
The VT monitoring function is employed to issue an alarm when secondary phase VTs and/or phase
input of the NVA100 relay failure are detected; typical faults are internal faults, fuse failure, fault on the
interconnecting wires or MCB tripping. The function gives an alarm indication and change automati-
cally all the protection elements (27, 67 e 67N) that can output misoperations when a voltage failure is
detected.
The following VTs anomalies are detected:
• Loss of one or two phase voltages
• Loss of all three phase voltages
• No voltage detected upon energisation.
• Loss of one or two phase voltages
This fault is detected when a negative sequence voltage without presence of negative sequence
current is detected. When the negative sequence voltage exceeds the adjustable threshold (U 2VT>)
and the negative sequence current is lower than an adjustable threshold (I 2VT>), an output relay
and/or LED can be activated.
The negative sequence current is calculated according the following:
I 2 = (I∙L1+e-j120°∙
I L2+e+j120°∙
I L3)/3
Similarly the negative sequence voltage is calculated according the following:
U 2 = (U∙ L1+e-j120°U∙ L2+e+j120°U∙ L3)/3,
where e-j120° = -1/2 - j√3/2 e e+j120° = -1/2 + j√3/2
• Loss of all three phase voltages
If a collapse of the three phase voltage without a corresponding change on the phase current is
detected a VT failure is detected.
When all three voltages drop down the adjustable threshold (UVT<) and the present value of three
phase currents (IL1(k), IL2(k), IL3(k)) and the same currents one cycle previously (IL1(k-1), IL2(k-1), IL3(k-1))
don’t move away from an adjustable threshold (DIVT<), an output relay and/or LED can be activated.
• No voltage detected upon energisation
The lack of three phase voltage after line energisation is detected if the circuit breaker is closed
and all the three phase voltages (UL1, UL2, UL3) are lower than an adjustable threshold (UVT<) and all
the three phase currents (IL1, IL2, IL3) are lower than an adjustable threshold (IVT>); the latter must be
adjusted to a value higher than the current at energisation and lower than the short circuit current.
When any of the previous condition is detected, the 74VT function issues a blocking command or
switches to non directional the 67 and 67N protective elements; after an adjustable delay (t VT-AL) an
output alarm is activated.
The MCB state can be acquired by means a binary input; the binary input must be programmed for
MCB VT OPEN inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary input1 (or x) menu and the Logic parameters (ON/
OFF) must be programmed in the same way of the related circuit connected with-it.
When the MCB opens the 74VT function is activated.

A Activates 74VT if one or two phase voltages are lost in the absence of negative sequence current (to discriminate asymmetrics hort circuits).
B Activates 74VT if all phase voltages are lost with loaded generator.
C Activates 74VT if all phase voltages are lost during commissioning of the line voltage (TV not connected), checking that no of the three currents exceeds I VT >.
In order to avoid trigger at the closure on polyphase short-circuit, I VT > should be set to a value less than I CC (but higher than the max inrush current).
In any case, the circuit breaker must be closed, otherwise the 74VT function is activated with standing generator.
D Inhibits the 74VT activation of the polyphase short-circuitss, setting the flip-flop when impulsive variation of currentin at least one phase change arises.
Inhibition resets automatically when all three phase voltages goes above threshold and negative sequence voltage goes below the threshold.
E The activation of the 74VT is maintained when at least one of conditions A, B, C is true.
The reset function can be performed manually (as long as the conditions are verified in the automatic reset D) or automatically if user defined.
F The 74VT activation can occur only for circuit breaker opening to protect the VTs secondary circuit.
G The 74VT activation can be inhibited by a 74VT block command applied to a binary input.
H The 74VT activation is always detected. If the user can also be set the voltage-dependent protection blocking.

If the 74TCS-BLK1 parameter is set to ON, and a binary input.[2] is designed for logical block
(Block1), the TCS supervision function is blocked off whenever the given input is active. The trip tim-

The faulty condition is detected occurs if both the following conditions are filled:
A) The TRIP contact is closed (external protection relay tripped);
B) The circuit breaker is closed (52a closed and 52b open).
Because such conditions can arise with healthy circuit too (e.g. a trip command is issued by the

Trip circuit supervision with one binary inputs - 74TCS TCS1.ai
The fault condition of the trip circuit is detected by binary input power down.
With healthy circuit and TRIP contact closed, the binary input is feed across the 52a path (CB closed)
or across the resistor R and 52b path (CB open).
When the TRIP contact turns ON, the binary input becomes short-circuited; to avoid untimely opera-
tions the previous condition are checked every 80 ms and the output is issued after a 40 s delay in
order to allow the fault clearing and the consequent reset of the TRIP protection.
Outputs are reset to zero after 6 s from the TRIP contact open.[1]
Note 1 The trip contact (TRIP) of the protection relays must be set with automatic reset (No-latched operating mode).

1) If the circuit breaker is just open an unnecessary excitation must be avoided; the most critical
event arises when the TRIP contact is closed (e.g. manual or test command), so with minimal
series resistance. To avoid an unwanted excitation the series resistance must be higher than a
minimum value defined as:
Rmin = R TC · (UAUX - U TCmin) / U TCmin
where:
U TCmin: minimum coil excitation voltage
UAUX : auxiliary voltage
R TC : coil resistance
2) To energize the binary input circuit when the TRIP contact and CB open, the series resistance
must be lowerer than a maximum value defined as:
Rmax = [(UAUX - UDIGmin) / IDIG] - R TC
where:
UDIGmin: minimum binary input excitation voltage (18 V)
UAUX : auxiliary voltage
R TC : coil resistance
IDIG: binary input excitation current (0.003 A)
To satisfy the above requirements, the R value must be chosen between the Rmin and Rmax values;
typically the normalized value nearest the arithmetic mean:
R = (Rmin + Rmax) / 2
The power dissipated by the R resistor is:
PR = R · I 2 = R · [UAUX / (R + R TC)] 2
Example
UAUX = 110 Vcc (auxiliary voltage)
P TC = 50 W (coil power)
R TC = UAUX 2 / P TC = 242 Ω (coil resistance)
U TCmin = 77 V (minimum coil excitation voltage = 70% UAUX )
UDIGmin = 18 V (minimum binary input excitation voltage)
IDIG = 0.003 A (binary input excitation current)
Note1 In order to limit the temperature of the resistor it should be oversized (at least double the power - 2 W)

Circuit breaker supervision
Preface
Several diagnostic metering and monitoring function are available:
• By means 52a and 52b auxiliary contacts, the CB position is acquired. Depending on such information
the Open and/or Close commands can be safely issued by user.
• An adjustable threshold can be set for a wear estimate of the breaker contacts; the current values
(SI or SI2) are summed and compared to a user-adjustable threshold. When the threshold or the
number of operations is exceeded the relay can activate an output relay. The function helps to
adjust maintenance planning.
• By means 52a and 52b auxiliary contacts, the opening time is calculated and compared to a user-ad-
justable threshold. If the threshold is exceeded the relay can activate an output relay.

Applications
With Pro-N and Pro-XX relay the virtual I / O can be usefully employed for:
• Transmit information between protections installed in significant distance where the traditional
connections are critical in terms of reliability.
• Making OR logic for opening control of multiple DDI (simultaneous control of all DDI operated by
each SPI) in cases of multiple interface protections (Smart Grids)
• Achieve accelerated logic discrimination in which some protection elements can be blocked by the
activation of the downstream protection start; this allows to reduce the clearing time that, in time
logic systems require trip time significantly long in correspondence of the power source.
• Circuit breaker commands
• Selection of setting profiles
• Remote trip
• Include I / O in the programmable logic (PLC)
• etc. ..
Virtual Outputs:

Proper management (programming and remote monitoring) of the self-diagnosis function ensures
the fast detection of most of the protection system failures and significantly reduces the need for
periodic testing.

• Oscillography run-time OK/NOT OK
• Data Bus minor OK/NOT OK
• Protection I/O assigned run-time minor OK/NOT OK
• PLC I/O not-matching run-time minor OK/NOT OK
Lower level diagnostic (MINOR) can be output or ignored; for this purpose the MINOR Fail alarm

The diagnostic alarms can be allocated to an output relay; the Self-test relay parameter (K1...K6)
is available inside the Set \ Self-test Relay submenu.
When a higher level anomaly is recognized all protective functions are disabled and the output relays
switch in no-trip state:
• rest state if the output relay are set in De-energized mode (contacts as shown in the diagrams)
• active state if the output relay are set in Energized mode (opposite to what is shown in the dia-
grams).
The connections of the trip and diagnostic relays must be performed according to the application:
when the output relay must be normally energized and the circuit breaker must be open in case of
failure of the protection system, the self-test function must be enabled and assigned to the normally
energized relay selected for tripping..
Note 1 The relays are being switched in rest position (ON if set with Energized logic - OFF if set with De-energized logic)

Oscillography - DFR
Upon programmable trigger, the fault records are recorded in COMTRADE format; the sampled mea-
sures (24 sample per cycle) are stored in a circular shift memory buffer.
The fault record are self-triggered; they are stored in sequential order up the allocated memory is
used up after which the oldest memory is overwritten.
An operating procedure example for the digital fault recording is illustrated inside the ThyVisor sec-
tion.
Following parameters are user-programmable:
• Pre-trigger and post-trigger time
• Selected sampled quantities.
• Analog channels (1...12) allocation.
• Digital channels (1...12) allocation (output relay and/or binary inputs).
• Trigger setup; the information storage starts when a state transition on the selected signal occurs.
(protective element start and/or trip, output relay and/or binary input switching).
• Alarm: when the 80% of the buffer space is reached an alarm may be issued. The system being of
linear type, the records are back-to-back recorded to the end of available memory; the alarm out-
put is a warning in order that the user may download data[1] to clear memory for new records.

COMTRADE
Records are recorded in COMTRADE format; (Common Format for Transient Data); This is a standard
for the data exchange for various types of tests or simulation datas, etc, for power system applica-
tions.
The measurements are recorded in ASCII or BINARY format. COMTRADE files always come by
pairs:

scale factors, etc.
• The “.DAT”-file containing the data

6.2 MOUNTING
The Pro-N protection relays are housed inside metal cases suitable for various kinds of assembly:
• Flush mounting
• Projecting mounting
• With separate operator panel
• Rack.
Removability is ensured to facilitate maintenance operations so that the electronic module can be
replaced; this provides minimum downtime and maximum protection availability.
Flush mounting
The fixed case, fitted with special fastening brackets, is mounted on the front of electric control
board, previously drilled as indicated in the drawing.
In case of side-by-side mounting of several relays the minimum drilling distance is determined by
the front dimensions indicated in the overall dimensions drawing, increased by 3 mm, to ensure an
adequate tolerance and gasket space between adjacent relays.
The depth dimension, as indicated in the drawing, must be increased by as much as needed to allow
room for the wiring.

Projecting mounting
• Remove the ground screw and open the little door to access the fastening screws.
• Make all connections and join the relay to the framework with front and earth screws.
In case of side-by-side mounting of several relays, the minimum fixing distance is determined by the
dimensions of the mounting plate indicated in the overall dimensions drawing, increased horizontally
and vertically by as much as needed to allow room for the wiring and to ensure an adequate toler-
ance between devices.

In order to ensure a linear response from the sensor, the cables must be positioned in the centre
of the transformer so that the magnetic effect of the three cables is perfectly compensated in the
absence of residual current (Fig.2a).
Hence, the assembly indicated in the drawing of fig.2b, in which phase L3 causes local magnetic
saturation whereby the vectorial sum of the three currents would be non-null, should be avoided.
The same considerations also apply when the sensor is positioned near bends in the cabling.
It is recommended that the transformer be placed away from bends in the conductors).

CAUTION In case of disconnection CT wiring to the case, pay attention must to do not open live circuits.
When making the current connections, attention must be paid to not exceeding the performance of
the line current transformers. To be exact, the total load, constituted by the NA60 protective relay,
any other protective relays or measuring instruments and the resistance of the connections, must
not exceed the line CT performance. In particular, consumption of the NA60 relay input circuit must
not exceed 0.2 VA while the load (expressed in VA) constituted by the conductors is given by:
0.018 × L × In 2 / S
where:
L the overall length, expressed in m, of the two conductors in relation to each phase;
In nominal current of the line CT expressed in A;
S cross sectional area of the current conductors expressed in mm2.
It is recommended that cabling of a suitable thickness be used in order to limit wear of the CT sec-
ondary circuits.
Binary inputs
The dry input circuits, despite being galvanically isolated, must preferably be supplied with the same
auxiliary voltage of the control panel.
The inputs are polarity free with wide voltage range.

The optoisolated inputs are immune to transitory interferences, however the following recommenda-
tion must be considered in high disturbed environments:
• Position input wiring away from high energy sources.
• Set a debounce timer (tON and/or tOFF) to alloy the transient to decay.
• Use shielded cables with ground connection on only one end (preferably at the relay side.
Output relays
Six output relays are available.
It is advisable to verify that the technical characteristic of the contacts be suitable for the applied
load (about current, nominal voltage, make and break current , etc..).
Output relay K1 and K2 have one change over contacts (SPDT, type C).
Output relay K3 and K4 have one make contact (SPST-NO, type A) and a common reference (A10
terminal).
Output relay K5 and K6 have one make contact (SPST-NO, type A for K5), one break contact (SPST-
NC, type B for K6) and a common reference (A13 terminal).
All contacts are shown in de-energized state for standard reference.
After installation, the same communication port must be selected to define the ThyVisor parameters
(typically COM4, COM5,...).
Ethernet port
One RJ45 (copper) or FX (optics fiber) port may be provided.
Connections to the TX (RJ45) port must be made with shielded cable FTP Cat.5e category or higher.
For testing a PC may be directly connect to the Ethernet port (D1) on the rear side.
With TX interface a cross cable must be employed, while an Ethernet-optical fiber converter, suit-
able for 100 Mb data rate must be employed if an FX port is implemented.

Following the Set default settings command the password is reset to 0000.
The Pro-N relays do not require any particular maintenance; all circuits use high quality static com-
ponents, the subassembly products undergo dynamic checks on their functioning before the final
assembling of the complete equipment. The dedicated circuits and the firmware for the self-test
function continuously check the relay operation; the continuously operating auto-zeroing function
dynamically corrects the measuring errors due to offset, heat dependent drifts, aging of compo-
nents, etc. The processor is equipped with a watch-dog circuit which restores the correct operation
of the firmware in case of fault.
If the following criteria are properly implemented:
• comprehensive functional tests at commissioning,
• absence of significant modification on the protection system,
• activation and permanent remote control of self-test alarms through supervision,
• control of self-test undetectable failures (comparing of measures with the external instruments,
auxiliary voltage control, etc ..)
• analysis of the stored information (faults and events, and oscillographic records),
periodic checks can be avoided. In the absence of some of the criteria listed above, it is advisable to
perform periodic checks every five years.
7.5 REPAIR
No repair of possible faults by the client is foreseen; if following to any irregularity of operation, the
above tests confirm the presence of a fault, it will be necessary to send the relay to the factory for
the repair and the consequent settings and checks.
7.6 PACKAGING
The Pro-N devices must be stored within the required temperature limits; the relative humidity should
not cause condensation or formation of frost.
It is recommended that the devices are stored in their packaging; in the case of long storage, espe-
cially in extreme climatic conditions, it is recommended that the device is supplied with power for
some hours before the commissioning, in order to bring the circuits to the rating conditions and to
stabilize the operation of the components.
