The device can provide six stages of phase overcurrent protection with independent logic. Each
stage can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or inverse-time characteristics.
The drop-out characteristics can be set as instantaneous drop-out, definite-time drop-out or
inverse-time drop-out. Users can choose whether it is blocked by the voltage control element,
direction control element, or harmonic control element, users can also choose whether it is
controlled by cold load pickup. The direction control element can be set as no direction, forward
direction and reverse direction. The phase overcurrent protection picks up when the current
exceeds the current threshold value, and operates after a certain time delay, once the fault
disappears, the phase overcurrent protection will drop-out.
Phase overcurrent protection can be enabled or disabled via the settings or binary input signals,
for some specific applications, overcurrent protection needs to be blocked by the external signal,
so the device provides a function block input signal to be used to block overcurrent protection.
The enabling and blocking logic of phase overcurrent protection is shown in the figure below:

When a fault occurs at the remote end of a feeder, the fault current is relatively small, so the
voltage control element can be adopted to increase the sensitivity for this kind of fault. Users can
enable or disable the voltage control element via the setting [50/51Px.En_Volt_Blk] (x=1~6). If the
VT circuit supervision function is enabled for the device, and the setting [50/51P.En_VTS_Blk] is
set as “Enabled”, when VT circuit failure happens, the device will issue a VT circuit failure alarm
signal [VTS.Alm], and the voltage controlled phase overcurrent protection will be blocked. If the
voltage control element of phase overcurrent protection is not enabled, phase overcurrent
protection will not affected by VT circuit failure. The corresponding relationship between the
phase-segregated overcurrent element and the voltage control element is as follows.

In order to ensure the selectivity of phase overcurrent protection, direction control element is
introduced. The setting [50/51Px.Opt_Dir] (x=1~6) is used for users to select the directional mode
of each stage of phase overcurrent protection: no direction, forward direction and reverse
direction are selectable.
Takes the phase A fault as an example, the polarization mode is set as “Up”, its operation
characteristics are shown in the figure below. The principle of phase B and phase C is the same. If
the positive-sequence voltage or the phase-to-phase voltage is polarized, the operation
characteristics are the same.
The operation boundary of the forward direction element can be set by [50/51P.DIR.phi_Min_Fwd]
and [50/51P.DIR.phi_Max_Fwd]. The operation boundary of the reverse direction element can be
set by [50/51P.DIR.phi_Min_Rev] and [50/51P.DIR.phi_Max_Rev].

The sensitivity angle of the direction control element (RCA) can be set by the setting
[50/51P.DIR.RCA].
The selection of the polarization voltage can be set by the setting [50/51P.DIR.Opt_PolarizedVolt].
The following table shows the relationship between the operating current, the polarized voltage
and the polarization mode.
In order to improve the reliability of the direction control element, the direction control element with
the above three polarization modes must be used in conjunction with the negative-sequence
direction criterion. The negative-sequence direction criterion is shown in the table below.
For the “ACB” system phase sequence, the angle difference under
positive-sequence voltage polarization mode and phase-to-phase voltage
polarization mode is different from that of the “ABC” system phase
sequence, as shown in the following table:
Therefore, the criterion for the three-phase direction control element is as follows:
operate.
Angle_B reverse direction operates and Angle_I2 forward direction does not
Phase B reverse direction
operate.
Angle_C forward direction operates and Angle_I2 reverse direction does not
Phase C forward direction
operate.
Angle_C reverse direction operates and Angle_I2 forward direction does not
Phase C reverse direction
operate.
The direction element calculation needs to judge the current threshold and voltage threshold. The
corresponding phase operating current must be greater than the minimum operating current
setting [50/51P.DIR.I_Min], otherwise the direction element can not operate. For the voltage, it has
3 memory function that can eliminate the dead zone of the direction element when the close up
three-phase short circuit fault occurs. When the polarized voltage is less than the minimum
operating voltage setting [50/51P.DIR.U_Min], the polarized voltage will not be used to judge the
direction, the positive-sequence voltage before two cycles is used to judge the direction.
The logic diagram of the forward direction element and reverse direction element is shown as
below.

of two cycles before the polarized voltage is less than the minimum operating voltage setting
[50/51P.DIR.U_Min], and it is calculated from the three-phase voltage.
When transformer and other equipment are energized without any load, the inrush current may be
generated, which may cause the mal-operation of the phase overcurrent protection. According to
the characteristics of high secondary harmonic component in the inrush current and low
secondary harmonic component in common fault current, the secondary harmonic control element
is added to prevent the phase overcurrent protection from mal-operation due to inrush current. For
the harmonic control element, the harmonic blocking mode can be selected through the setting
[50/51P.HMB.Opt_Blk], it can support phase locking, cross locking, and maximum phase locking.
The correspondences are shown in the following table:
Where:
When the fundamental current is greater than the setting [50/51P.HMB.I_Rls], the harmonic
blocking element of the corresponding phase is released.

Where:
Phase overcurrent protection can operate without time delay or operate with a definite-time limit, it
can also operate with an inverse-time limit, the characteristic curve meets the IEC60255-3 and
ANSI C37.112 standards. Phase overcurrent protection can support definite-time limit, IEC &
ANSI standard inverse time limit and user-defined inverse-time limit, users can select the wanted
operating curve by the setting [50/51Px.Opt_Curve] (x=1~6), the relationship between the value of
the setting and the curve is shown in the table below.
Only when the setting [50/51Px.Opt_Curve] is set as “UserDefine”, i.e. the user-defined
inverse-time characteristic is selected, the settings [50/51Px.K], [50/51Px.C] and [50/51Px.Alpha]
are useful, the inverse-time operating curve is determined by the three settings.
⚫ Definite-time characteristic
When I > Ip , the protection operates with a time delay of top (i.e. the value of the setting 3
[50/51Px.t_Op]), and the operation characteristic curve is shown in the following figure:
t op
IP I
⚫ Inverse-time characteristic
When I > Ip , the inverse-time accumulator begins to accumulate, and the operating time is
affected by the applied current I . The operating time will decrease with the current increasing,
but the operating time shall not less than tmin , i.e. the setting [50/51Px.tmin] (x=1~6). The
inverse-time operation characteristic equation is:
k

When the applied current is not a fixed value, but changes with time, the operating behaviour of
the protection is shown in the following equation:

Where:
The supported drop-out characteristics of the phase overcurrent protection include instantaneous
drop-out, definite-time drop-out and ANSI inverse-time drop-out.
When the operating curve is selected as ANSI inverse-time characteristic, the drop-out
characteristic can be selected as instantaneous drop-out, definite-time drop-out and ANSI
inverse-time drop-out.
⚫ Instantaneous drop-out
⚫ Definite-time drop-out
When I <0.95* Ip , the protection drops out with a time delay of tdr (i.e. the value of the setting
[50/51Px.t_DropOut]), and the drop-out characteristic curve is shown in the following figure:

The device can provide six stages of earth fault overcurrent protection with independent logic.
Each stage can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or inverse-time
characteristics. The drop-out characteristics can be set as instantaneous drop-out, definite-time
drop-out or inverse-time drop-out. Users can choose whether it is blocked by the direction control
element or the harmonic control element, users can also choose whether it is controlled by cold
load pickup. The direction control element can be set as no direction, forward direction and
reverse direction. The zero-sequence current used by earth fault overcurrent protection can be
calculated zero-sequence current or the measured zero-sequence current, it can operate to trip or
alarm, it can be enabled or blocked by the external binary input.
Earth fault overcurrent protection can be enabled or disabled via the settings or binary input
signals, for some specific applications, the protection needs to be blocked by the external signal,
so the device provides a function block input signal to be used to block earth fault overcurrent
protection. The enabling and blocking logic of earth fault overcurrent protection is shown in the

In order to ensure the selectivity of earth fault overcurrent protection, direction control element is
introduced. The setting [50/51Gx.Opt_Dir] (x=1~6) is used for users to select the directional mode
of each stage of earth fault overcurrent protection: no direction, forward direction and reverse
direction are selectable.
The operation boundary of the forward direction element can be set by [50/51G.DIR.phi_Min_Fwd]
and [50/51G.DIR.phi_Max_Fwd]. The operation boundary of the reverse direction element can be

The direction element calculation needs to judge the current threshold and voltage threshold. The
corresponding operating current must be greater than the minimum operating current setting
[50/51G.DIR.3I0_Min], otherwise the direction element can not operate. The polarized voltage
must be greater than the minimum operating voltage setting [50/51G.DIR.3U0_Min], otherwise the

Earth fault overcurrent protection can operate without time delay or operate with a definite-time
limit, it can also operate with an inverse-time limit, the characteristic curve meets the IEC60255-3
and ANSI C37.112 standards. Earth fault overcurrent protection can support definite-time limit,
IEC & ANSI standard inverse time limit and user-defined inverse-time limit, users can select the
wanted operating curve by the setting [50/51Gx.Opt_Curve], the relationship between the value of
the setting and the curve is shown in the table below.
Only when the setting [50/51Gx.Opt_Curve] is set as “UserDefine”, i.e. the user-defined
inverse-time characteristic is selected, the settings [50/51Gx.K], [50/51Gx.C] and [50/51Gx.Alpha]
are useful, the inverse-time operating curve is determined by the three settings.
⚫ Definite-time characteristic
When I 0 > I 0 p , the protection operates with a time delay of top (i.e. the value of the setting
[50/51Gx.t_Op]), and the operation characteristic curve is shown in the following figure:
t op
I0p I0
Figure 3.7-6 Definite-time operation characteristic curve of earth fault overcurrent protection
⚫ Inverse-time characteristic
When I 0 > I 0 p , the inverse-time accumulator begins to accumulate, and the operating time is
affected by the applied current I 0 . The larger current is, the smaller the operating time is, but not
unlimited. When the current is large enough to a certain threshold ( I 0 p ), the inverse-time
operating time will not continue to decrease, then the operation characteristic becomes the
definite-time characteristic, and the operating time is tmin , i.e. the setting [50/51Gx.tmin]. The
inverse-time operation characteristic equation is:
k
t =
+ c TMS
(I 0 / I 0P ) − 1
Where:
t min

Where:
The supported drop-out characteristics of the earth fault overcurrent protection include
instantaneous drop-out, definite-time drop-out and ANSI inverse-time drop-out.
When the operating curve is selected as ANSI inverse-time characteristic, the drop-out
characteristic can be selected as instantaneous drop-out, definite-time drop-out and ANSI
inverse-time drop-out.
⚫ Instantaneous drop-out
⚫ Definite-time drop-out
3 When I 0 <0.95* I 0 p , the protection drops out with a time delay of tdr (i.e. the value of the
setting [50/51Gx.t_DropOut]), the drop-out characteristic curve is shown in the following figure:

logic. Each stage can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or inverse-time
characteristics. The drop-out characteristics can be set as instantaneous drop-out, definite-time
drop-out or inverse-time drop-out. For a double-circuit or a ring network line, the
negative-sequence fault current may have different flow direction. Considering the protection
selectivity, the negative-sequence overcurrent protection can be blocked by the direction control
element. Negative-sequence overcurrent protection can operate to trip or alarm, it can be enabled
or blocked by the external binary input.
Negative-sequence overcurrent protection can be enabled or disabled via the settings or binary
input signals, for some specific applications, the protection needs to be blocked by the external
signal, so the device provides a function block input signal to be used to block negative-sequence
overcurrent protection. The enabling and blocking logic of negative-sequence overcurrent
protection is shown in the figure below:

users can select the wanted operating curve by the setting [50/51Qx.Opt_Curve] (x=1 or 2), the
relationship between the value of the setting and the curve is shown in the table below.
Only when the setting [50/51Qx.Opt_Curve] is set as “UserDefine”, i.e. the user-defined
inverse-time characteristic is selected, the settings [50/51Qx.K], [50/51Qx.C] and [50/51Qx.Alpha]
are useful, the inverse-time operating curve is determined by the three settings.

⚫ Inverse-time characteristic
When I 2 > I 2 p , the inverse-time accumulator begins to accumulate, and the operating time is
affected by the applied current I 2 . The operating time will decrease with the current increasing,
but the operating time shall not less than tmin , i.e. the setting [50/51Qx.tmin]. The inverse-time

The network of single-phase broken condition is similar to that of two-phases earthing fault,
positive-sequence, negative-sequence and zero-sequence network is connected in parallel, I2/I1=
Z0/(Z0+Z2), generally, zero-sequence impedance is larger than positive-sequence impedance, i.e.
I2/I1>0.5. The network of two-phases broken condition is similar to that of single-phase earthing
fault, positive-sequence, negative-sequence and zero-sequence network is connected in series,
so I2/I1=1. Hence, broken conductor protection based on the ratio of negative-sequence current to
positive sequence current can detect the broken-conductor fault.
Broken-conductor fault mainly is single-phase broken or two-phases broken. According to the ratio
of negative-sequence current to positive-sequence current (I2/I1), it is used to judge whether there
is a broken-conductor fault. Negative-sequence current under normal operating condition (i.e.
unbalance current) is due to CT error and unbalance load, so the ratio of negative-sequence
current to positive-sequence current (amplitude) is relative steady. The value with margin can then
be used as the setting of broken conductor protection. It is mainly used to detect broken-conductor
fault and CT circuit failure as well.

the earth current is small due to the large ground resistance, so it is difficult to detect by the
ordinary CTs. Sensitive earth fault protection using high-precision CT can effectively detect the
earth current.
The device can provide six stages of sensitive earth fault protection with independent logic. Each
stage can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or inverse-time characteristics.
The drop-out characteristics can be set as instantaneous drop-out, definite-time drop-out or
inverse-time drop-out. Users can choose whether it is blocked by the direction control element.
The direction control element can be set as no direction, forward direction and reverse direction.
3 The zero-sequence current used by sensitive earth fault protection is the measured
zero-sequence current from the high-precision CT. Sensitive earth fault protection can operate to
trip or alarm, it can be enabled or blocked by the external binary input.
Sensitive earth fault protection can be enabled or disabled via the settings or binary input signals,
for some specific applications, the protection needs to be blocked by the external signal, so the
device provides a function block input signal to be used to block sensitive earth fault protection.

The sensitive earth fault protection can be used as high impedance restricted earth fault
protection.
Restricted earth fault (REF) protection is used for the transformer single-phase winding earth fault,
and the protected winding must be earthed. In the case of delta windings, the winding must be
earthed via an earthing transformer, the earthing transformer is connected between the winding
and the CT. REF protection can be applied to protect two-winding transformer, three-winding
transformer or auto-transformer.
REF protection is a kind of differential protection, the differential current is the vector difference of
the neutral current (i.e. the current flowing in the neutral line) and the residual current of the
transformer incoming line. For an internal fault, the differential current is equal to the earth fault
current. REF protection operates on the fault current only, and is not dependent on load current,
this makes REF protection a very sensitive protection.
The sensitive earth fault protection can be used to accomplish the function of high impedance
restricted earth fault protection. Once it is used as high impedance restricted earth fault protection,

The connected analog quantity of high impedance REF protection is the sum current of the
transformer incoming line three-phase current and the neutral point current. The device provides a
highly sensitive current input channel, and a large resistance is connected to the circuit. In order
to prevent the device from overvoltage, a varistor is generally connected in parallel. The details
are shown in the figure below:

IREF
High impedance REF protection has no restraint characteristics and it will trip when the input
current IREF is greater than the current threshold. The high impedance differential technology is
realized by connecting a sufficiently high impedance in the input circuit of the protection device,
which makes the differential voltage under external fault conditions lower than the voltage
corresponding to the operating current of the drive device. This ensures the stability against an
external fault, so high impedance REF protection only reflects the internal fault.
Rstab If
Udiff_ext
The above figure shows the high impedance REF protection schematic diagram, CT1 and CT2
are located at both ends of the protected equipment.
When an external fault occurs, assuming that CT1 transfers normally and CT2 is fully saturated in
the most severe case, the excitation impedance of CT2 (Zm2) is 0, then the maximum unbalance
voltage of the measurement circuit is:
Udiff_ext = If ∗ (R W2 + R L2 )
In where:
Udiff_ext is the maximum voltage that may be felt at both ends of the measurement circuit when an
external fault occurs.
By reasonably selecting the stable resistance R stab and setting the current setting value ISet to
make the product larger than Udiff_ext , the protection will be reliable and it will not mal-operate.
When an internal fault occurs, it is equivalent to injecting current into the parallel CT excitation
impedance and protection measurement circuit. The shunt ratio of the two determines the fault
current magnitude felt by the device. Because the excitation impedance of the CT is usually very
large, the fault current is also very large, and the operating current setting is small, so the device
can feel a large operating current for internal fault and operate reliably.
3 3.11.6.2 Setting Principle
High impedance REF usually requires higher sensitivity for an internal fault, so its current setting
is relatively low, and user can refer to the following setting principles.
Step 1: According to the short-circuit current and circuit impedance, the voltage value
corresponds to the most severe external fault can be calculated:
Uset = K rel ∗ If ∗ (R W + R L )
In where:
R L is the resistance value of the entire CT measurement circuit, the resistance of the two cables
back and forth needs to be summed.
When multiple sets of CT parameters are inconsistent, R W and R L take the maximum value of
each CT circuit. The typical value of R L is about 1Ω.
Step 2: For an internal fault, the fault current will be shunted on the excitation circuit of each CT
and the parallel non-linear resistance. The current setting can be estimated by this way.
In where:
𝐼min _𝑖𝑛𝑡 is the minimum fault current for internal fault (current from fault point to ground).
𝐼𝑣𝑎𝑟 (𝑈𝑠𝑒𝑡 ) is the non-linear resistance shunted current when the measurement circuit voltage is
𝑈𝑠𝑒𝑡 .
𝐼𝑚 is the excitation current corresponds to the knee voltage of CT (𝑈𝑘 ), and the maximum value is
taken when the CT characteristics of each side are different.
N is the number of CTs involved in the high impedance REF protection calculation, and N is 4 for a
three-phase CT on one side and a residual CT on the other side.
The current is relatively large when the metal earth fault occurs, if the calculation result is large, in
order to ensure the accuracy and sensitivity, it can be adjusted according to the rated current of
the transformer local winding. The recommended setting range is 0.1~0.8 of the winding rated
current.
The final setting range is recommended to be 0.1~0.5In. The typical setting value is 0.1~0.2In.
First calculate the voltage Uset through the external fault, and then calculate the current setting
𝐼𝑠𝑒𝑡 according to the internal fault, and divide the two to obtain the selectable impedance.
In where:
𝑅𝑟𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑦 is the circuit impedance of the high impedance REF device, it is usually small and can be
ignored in the calculation process.
The more common selection range of the stable resistance is about 200~2000Ω.
During actual application, in order to ensure the safety of the secondary circuit, when the
calculated RMS value of the secondary circuit voltage exceeds 1500V (i.e. the peak value
exceeds 2100V), it is necessary to connect a non-linear resistor in parallel to the secondary circuit
to avoid the overvoltage.
3.11.6.4 CT Requirement
The high impedance REF protection usually has higher requirements for CT. The specific
requirements and suggestions are as follows:
1) The CT characteristics and CT ratio of all sides are the same, and the error of the CT turns
ratio is required to be as small as possible. It is recommended to use PX type CT. This type of
CT is a low-magnetic-leakage CT, and the CT ratio error is limited, usually not more than
±0.25%. In addition, 5P type CT can also be used.
2) CT has a higher knee voltage. The recommended knee voltage Uk is (2~8) ∗ Uset , and
4Uset or more is recommended.
4) Because the high impedance REF circuit has a stable resistance, it should be not shared with
other protections.
excitation current corresponds to the knee voltage, CT secondary coil impedance, and CT
secondary circuit resistance.
The device can provide two stages of RMS overcurrent protection with independent logic. When
the fault current with more harmonic components is generated in the system, the amplitude is
larger than the current threshold of RMS overcurrent protection, the RMS overcurrent protection
will operate.
RMS overcurrent protection can be enabled or disabled via the settings or binary input signals, for
some specific applications, the protection needs to be blocked by the external signal, so the
device provides a function block input signal to be used to block RMS overcurrent protection. The
enabling and blocking logic of RMS overcurrent protection is shown in the figure below:

RMS overcurrent protection can operate without time delay or operate with a definite-time limit, it
can also operate with an inverse-time limit, the characteristic curve meets the IEC60255-3 and

ANSI C37.112 standards. RMS overcurrent protection can support definite-time limit, IEC & ANSI

operating curve by the setting [50/51Rx.Opt_Curve] (x=1~6), the relationship between the value
of the setting and the curve is shown in the table below.
Only when the setting [50/51Rx.Opt_Curve] is set as “UserDefine”, i.e. the user-defined

The device can provide two stages of phase overvoltage protection with independent logic. When
a high voltage occurs in the system, it is greater than the voltage threshold, phase overvoltage
protection will operate to remove the device from the system after a time delay. In addition, the
overvoltage protection also provides the alarm function, prompting the overvoltage of the system,
it allows users to find the cause timely, and preventing further deterioration of the fault. Each stage
of phase overvoltage protection can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or
inverse-time characteristics. The drop-out characteristics can be set as instantaneous drop-out
and definite-time drop-out.
Users can select phase voltage or phase-to-phase voltage for the protection calculation via the
setting [59P.Opt_Up/Upp]. If it is set as “Up”, phase voltage criterion is selected, and if it is set to
“Upp”, phase-to-phase voltage criterion is selected.
Users can select “1-out-of-3” or “3-out-of-3” logic for the protection criterion via the setting
[59P.Opt_1P/3P]. If it is set as “1P”, phase overvoltage protection can operate if any
phase/phase-to-phase voltage is greater than the voltage setting. If it is set as “3P”, phase
overvoltage protection cannot operate unless three phase/phase-to-phase voltages are greater
than the voltage setting.
Phase overvoltage protection can be enabled or disabled via the settings or binary input signals,
for some specific applications, overvoltage protection needs to be blocked by the external signal,
so the device provides a function block input signal to be used to block overvoltage protection. In
addition, if the VT of the local side is out of service, phase overvoltage protection will be disabled.

The device can provide two stages of phase undervoltage protection with independent logic.
When the voltage drops in the system and it is lower than the voltage threshold, phase
undervoltage protection will operate.
Taking into account that the role of undervoltage protection is to remove the running device from
the system, but in order to prevent that undervoltage protection is always operating when it is not
charged, the breaker closed position check criterion is added, users can choose to detect the
breaker position, current or no-check as the releasing condition for the protection.
In addition, the undervoltage protection also provides the alarm function, prompting the voltage
drop of the system, it allows users to find the cause timely, and preventing further deterioration of
the fault. Each stage of phase undervoltage protection can be independently set as definite-time
characteristics or inverse-time characteristics. The drop-out characteristics can be set as
instantaneous drop-out and definite-time drop-out.
Users can select phase voltage or phase-to-phase voltage for the protection calculation via the

Users can select “1-out-of-3” or “3-out-of-3” logic for the protection criterion via the setting
[27P.Opt_1P/3P]. If it is set as “1P”, phase undervoltage protection can operate if any
phase/phase-to-phase voltage is smaller than the voltage setting. If it is set as “3P”, phase
undervoltage protection cannot operate unless three phase/phase-to-phase voltages are smaller
than the voltage setting.
The breaker closed position check mode is configured via the setting [27P.Opt_LogicMode], it
includes:
[27P.Opt_LogicMode]=None: no-check;
Undervoltage protection can be enabled or disabled via the settings or binary input signals, for
some specific applications, undervoltage protection needs to be blocked by the external signal, so
the device provides a function block input signal to be used to block undervoltage protection. In
addition, if the VT of the local side is out of service, undervoltage protection will be disabled. The

Where:
Undervoltage protection can operate with a definite-time limit, it can also operate with an
inverse-time limit. Undervoltage protection can support definite-time limit, IEC & ANSI standard
inverse time limit and user-defined inverse-time limit, users can select the wanted operating curve
by the setting [27Px.Opt_Curve] (x=1 or 2), the relationship between the value of the setting and
the curve is shown in the table below.
When the setting [27Px.Opt_Curve] is set as “InvTime_U”, the operation characteristic is the
corresponding selected operating curve type, and the settings [27Px.K], [27Px.C] and
[27Px.Alpha] are useless.
When the setting [27Px.Opt_Curve] is set as “UserDefine”, i.e. the user-defined inverse-time
characteristic is selected, the inverse-time operating curve is determined by the settings [27Px.K],
[27Px.C] and [27Px.Alpha].

When U < Up , the protection operates with a time delay of top (i.e. the value of the setting
[27Px.t_Op]), and the operation characteristic curve is shown in the following figure:

⚫ Inverse-time characteristic
When U < Up , the inverse-time accumulator begins to accumulate, and the operating time is
affected by the applied voltage U . The lower voltage is, the smaller the operating time is, but not
unlimited. When the voltage is low enough to a certain threshold ( Up ), the inverse-time operating
time will not continue to decrease, then the operation characteristic becomes the definite-time
characteristic, and the operating time is tmin , i.e. the setting [27Px.tmin]. The inverse-time
operation characteristic equation is:

3.22 Cold Load Pickup Logic (CLP)
The cold load pickup (CLP) logic which is included within this relay serves to either inhibit the
selected protective elements for an appointed duration, or to raise the settings of the selected
protective elements. Therefore, it allows the protection settings to be set closer to the load profile
by automatically increasing them following circuit energization. The CLP logic thus provides
stability, whilst maintaining protection during starting.
If the CLP logic operates, the CLP settings are enabled for the overcurrent protection and the
earth fault overcurrent protection respectively. After the drop-out time delay of the CLP logic has
elapsed, the normal protection settings are applied. And if a fast resetting signal is received, the
normal protection settings are applied after the pre-defined short resetting time delay.

3.24 Breaker Failure Protection (50BF)
When a fault happens to the power system, the device will operate to trip the circuit breaker, and
the fault will be isolated by opening the circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker fails to open within the
certain time due to some abnormalities (for example, low tripping pressure), the fault may cause
system stability being destroyed or electrical equipment being damaged. Breaker failure
protection is adopted to issue a backup tripping command to trip adjacent circuit breakers, and
isolate the fault as requested by the device.
According to the tripping information from the device and the auxiliary information (the current and
the position) of target circuit breaker, breaker failure protection constitutes the criterion to
discriminate whether the target circuit fails to open. If the criterion is confirmed, breaker failure
protection will operate to trip the target circuit breaker with the time delay [50BF.t_ReTrp], trip it
again with the time delay [50BF.t1_Op] and trip the adjacent circuit breakers with the time delay
[50BF.t2_Op]. As a special backup protection, breaker failure protection can quickly isolate the
fault, reduce the affected range by the fault, keep system stability and prevent generators,
transformers and other primary equipment from seriously damaged.
For breaker failure protection, re-trip and two time delays are available.
3.24.1.1 Re-trip
When breaker failure protection receives initiating signal of tripping and phase overcurrent
element of any phase operates, the device will issue tripping command to re-trip the target circuit
breaker with the time delay [50BF.t_ReTrp]. In order to improve the sensitivity, both
zero-sequence overcurrent element and negative-sequence overcurrent element are added,
which can be enabled or disabled by the settings [50BF.En_3I0_3P] and [50BF.En_I2_3P].
As similar as re-trip, the device will operate to re-trip the target circuit breaker again with the time
delay [50BF.t1_Op] when the relevant operating criterion is satisfied.
As similar as re-trip, the device will operate to trip the adjacent circuit breakers with the time delay
[50BF.t2_Op] when the relevant operating criterion is satisfied.
Where:
3 𝜑 = A, B or C
Where:
Where:
For some special faults (for example, mechanical protection or overvoltage protection operating),
maybe faulty current is very small and current criterion of breaker failure protection is not met, in
order to make breaker failure protection can also operate under the above situation, an input
signal "50BF.ExTrp_WOI" is equipped to initiate breaker failure protection, once the input signal is
energized, normally closed auxiliary contact of circuit breaker is chosen in addition to breaker
failure current check to trigger breaker failure timer. The device takes current as priority with CB
auxiliary contact "50BF.52b" as an option criterion for breaker failure check.
When the initiating signal of breaker failure protection is energized for longer than 10s, an alarm
signal "50BF.Alm_Init" will be issued, and will drop out with a time delay of 10s.

The device can provide one stage of phase overcurrent SOTF protection and one stage of earth
fault overcurrent SOTF protection. The SOTF protection is with definite-time delay characteristic
and instantaneous drop-out characteristic, it can be enabled or blocked by the external binary
input.
The SOTF protection can be enabled or disabled via the settings or binary input signals, for some
specific applications, the protection needs to be blocked by the external signal, so the device
provides a function block input signal to be used to block RMS overcurrent protection. The
enabling and blocking logic of the SOTF protection is shown in the figure below:

The SOTF protection must be initiated by auto-reclosing signal or manual closing signal, the
initiating time can be set by the setting [STOF.t_En]. After the acceleration condition is satisfied,
the SOTF protection will operate with a time delay of [50PSOTF.t_Op]/[50GSOTF.t_Op_3P].
If the three-phase current changes from “no” to “have”, and the breaker position changes from
“open” to “closed”, it will be judged that the acceleration condition for manual closing is satisfied.
Then the manual closing signal will be kept for a certain time which is determined by the setting
[SOTF.t_En], and SOTF protection will be enabled.
When the SOTF protection is used for the transformer bay, large inrush current generated during
manual closing and auto-reclosing maybe lead to an undesired operation of SOTF protection.
Second harmonic blocking can be selected by the setting
[50PSOTF.En_Hm2_Blk]/[50GSOTF.En_Hm2_Blk] to prevent the mal-operation due to inrush
current. The harmonic blocking characteristic of the phase overcurrent SOTF protection is
consistent with that of phase overcurrent protection. The harmonic blocking characteristic of the
earth fault overcurrent SOTF protection is consistent with that of earth fault overcurrent protection.
In order to improve the reliability, phase overcurrent SOTF protection can select phase voltage
element, phase-to-phase voltage element, zero-sequence voltage element and

When the power equipment is overloaded, a large current may cause the temperature of the
equipment to rise. When the temperature is high, the internal insulation of the equipment may be
aged, thereby increasing the possibility of internal failure. Thermal overload protection considers
the continuous heating state of the device, the thermal model of the device is established based
on the measured current and the time constant.
The device provides two thermal overload calculation methods: 1) only calculated by current; 2)
for the scenario with oil temperature measurement function, calculate the temperature difference
between the equipment (such as transformer windings) and the oil, and then plus the oil
temperature measured by the sensor, to obtain the final temperature.
⚫ Method 1:
Two stages overload protection are available, one stage for alarm purpose and the other stage for
trip purpose. The two stages are timed separately. When the thermal overload calculation reaches
the alarm setting value, an alarm signal will be issued to remind the operating personnel. If the
temperature continues to rise to reach the tripping setting value, the thermal overload protection
operates to trip.
The operating time of thermal overload protection complies with the IEC60255-8 standard and it is
calculated via the fundamental current or 1st to 11th harmonic current.

There are two kinds of thermal overload calculation modes: cold start mode and hot start mode.
The calculation formulas for the two modes are as follows:
I eq
t = ln
I eq − (k I B )
2) Hot start mode
I eq − I p
t = ln
I eq − (k I B )
Where:
τ is the thermal time constant of the protected device, i.e. [49.Tau]. When the current Ieq is lower
than 0.04In, the thermal time constant adopts the value of [49.Tau]*[49.C_Disspt].
IP is the steady-state load for a period of time before the overload. The result is that the
transformer is in a stable thermal equilibrium state (the duration needs to be several times longer
than the time constant τ), which is equivalent to the previous memoried current, the value is “0” for
the cold start mode.
If the device adopts the hot start model, the device calculates the IP in real time through the
external input current, and users do not need to set the value of IP.
The tripping of the protection is controlled by the current. After the current disappears, the
protection will drop-out immediately even if the heat accumulation is still greater than the tripping
setting. The alarm of the protection is not controlled by the current, as long as the heat
accumulation is greater than the alarm setting, it will always be alarmed and it can be used to
block the automatic closing of the device.
⚫ Method 2:
The temperature of the equipment can be calculated from the actual measured oil temperature
3 (via the PT100 sensor) plus the temperature difference between the equipment and the oil.
The temperature difference between the equipment and the oil can be calculated by actual
measurement and it will change with the device current. When the current changes from “0” to “1”,
the temperature can be calculated by the following formula.

REF protection is a kind of differential protection, so it calculates differential current and restrained
current. The differential current is a vector difference of the neutral current (i.e., current flowing in
the neutral conductor) and the residual current from the lines. For internal faults, this difference is
equal to the total earth fault current. REF protection operates on the fault current only, and is not
dependent on eventual load currents. This makes REF protection a very sensitive protection.
3.27.1.1 Overview
The difference between current differential protection and REF protection is that the first one is
based on adjusted phase current balance and the latter is based on balance of calculated residual
current and residual current from neutral point CT.
Each side of transformer can be equipped with one group of REF protection, i.e., for a
three-winding transformer, up to three groups of REF protection can be equipped, and this device
can support only one group of REF protection. REF protection is not affected by inrush current
and the tap of transformer. CT transient detection function based on the ratio of residual current to
positive current is adopted to eliminate the influence of difference of transient characteristic to
REF protection.
*
3I0Cal'
Magnitude compensation
The protection function can provide 1 sets of three-phase current inputs and 1 neutral point
current input.
Before REF protection is put into service on site, polarity of neutral point
CT must have been checked by a primary current injection test. Otherwise
an undesired operation may occur during an external earth fault.
Where:
If CTs used for REF protection have different primary rated values, the device will automatically
adjust the currents with respective correction ratio shown as below.
I1n
Klph = Klb / I 2n and K lb = min(
I1n _ max
,4) Equation 3.27-2
I1n _ max I1n _ min
Where:
I1n_min is minimum primary rated value among all CTs for REF protection.
I1n_max is maximum primary rated value among all CTs for REF protection.
This calculation method is to take the minimum CT primary rated value of all calculated sides as
the reference side. If the multiple of maximum CT primary rated value to minimum CT primary
rated value is greater than 4, then reference side shall be taken as 4 and other sides shall be
calculated proportionally. Otherwise, the reference side shall be taken as 1, and other sides will be
calculated proportionally.
The currents used in the following analysis have been corrected, that means the currents for
following calculation are the products of the actual secondary current of each side multiplying its
own correction coefficient (Kco).
When selecting CT, the primary currents for each side muse follow the
criterion: I1n _ max 128 , it is recommended that the ratio is smaller than 16.

In order to ensure the selectivity of restricted earth fault protection, direction criterion is also
available. The setting [64REF.En_Dir_Blk] is used to enable/disable the function of direction
criterion blocking REF protection. The direction criterion is based on the different direction
characteristic of neutral-point current INP and calculated residual current 3I0_Cal for an external
earth fault and an internal earth fault.
For an external earth fault, the neutral-point current INP and the calculated residual current
3I0_Cal have equal magnitude, but they are of approximately opposite directions.

ROA (Relay Operate Angle)
3I0_NP

For an internal earth fault, the magnitudes of the two currents INP and 3I0_Cal may be different,
but their relative directions are within a certain angle range. The operation angle setting
[64REF.ROA] is equipped in the device, it will be judged as an internal earth fault and the direction
criterion will be released when the relative angle of the two currents is lower than the setting.

Or when INP >K×3I0_Cal (K is an internal setting), it will also be judged as an internal earth fault
and the direction criterion will be released.
Non-identical CT characteristics can cause unbalance current. During phase-to-phase faults and
three-phase faults, the unbalance of three-phase CTs results in residual current which may lead to
mal-operation of REF protection. Therefore, positive-sequence current restraint blocking criterion
is adopted to prevent REF protection from mal-operation for above mentioned conditions.
When the residual current of REF protection is greater than 0 times of positive-sequence current,
it is judged that zero-sequence current is caused by a fault and release REF protection.
Positive-sequence current restraint blocking criterion is shown below. This blocking criterion is
ignored when neutral point current is greater than the internal setting, whichever is greater.
Where:
or
3I 0 _Cal _ 2 nd K 2nd 3I0_Cal _1st
or
I _ 3rd K 3rd I _1st
or

Where:
I _1st is the fundamental component of one phase current, it won’t do CT saturation detection
3 unless the fundamental component is higher than the corresponding internal setting.
K 2nd and K 3rd are fixed coefficients of secondary and third harmonics respectively.
If any one of the above criterion is met, it will be considered that it is CT saturation to cause this
differential current and restricted earth fault protection will be blocked.
CT circuit supervision for REF protection is divided into two kinds: differential CT circuit
abnormality without the pickup of the fault detector and differential CT circuit failure with the
pickup of the fault detector.
⚫ CT Circuit Abnormality
If the following operation formula is met for 10s, CT circuit abnormality alarm of REF protection will
be issued without blocking the protection.

Arc protection is used to protect the medium and low voltage switchgear cabinet. Due to the
compact structure and narrow space of the switchgear cabinet, when two-phase or three-phase
short-circuit fault occurs, it is often accompanied by a strong arcing phenomenon. The arc flash
signal is acquired by an arc sensor installed in the switchgear cabinet, it is combined with the
auxiliary fault current criterion, then the arc flash protection can operate to trip to isolate the fault.
The device can support up to 4 channels of arc flash signals, each channel is composed of arc
sensor and optical fiber, and can be enabled/disabled by the setting [50L/NL.Map_En_Sensor].
The arc sensor type is point sensor, and the connector between the optical fiber and the device is
ST type connector. Because the arc energy for a busbar fault is mainly concentrated within the
ultraviolet light range of 300~400nm (namometer), the arc sensor of the device adopts ultraviolet
light sensor, the sensor can ensure the reliable detection of arc signal and effectively prevent the
adverse effects of interference light (natural light and strong light flashlight).
The arc sensor couples the optical signal and transmits the optical signal to the arc module of the
device through the dedicated arc fiber. The protection device converts the optical signal into a
weak electric analog signal through the photoelectric conversion module, and then samples and
filters the signal, and finally outputs an arc signal analog quantity. Users can check the arc
increment of the arc channel via the device menu MainMenu→Measurements→Function
Values→ArcFlash Value to determine whether the arc measurement channel is intact.
The passive arc sensor takes the arc signal through the photosensitive material and transmits the
signal to the protection device through the transmission fiber. Since the sensor is in a relatively
3 closed environment, it is not easy to be found if the sensor is damaged or the transmission fiber is
broken, if a phase-to-phase fault occurs at this time, the protection device will not be able to
acquire an accurate arc signal and it can not operate correctly.
In order to solve this problem, the arc channel self-supervision function is provided to monitor the
channel in real time. The specific method is: the protection device transmits the pulse optical
signal whose amplitude and pulse width can be modulated in real time, and it is superimposed in
the arc transmission channel. The pulse optical signal is reflected by the sensor lens and returned
to the protection device via the transmission fiber, the protection device detects the pulse optical
signal that superimposed in the sensor sampling signal in real time. If the sensor or the fiber
channel is damaged, the protection device will not receive the returned pulse optical signal, then
the arc channel abnormality alarm signal “50L/NL.Alm_Sensor0x” (x=0~4) will be issued.

It is necessary to add an optical signal for testing via a dedicated test instrument. First, the tester
outputs a light intensity of 5 mW, and observes the corresponding channel coefficient in the menu
MainMenu→Measurements→Function Values→ArcFlash Value, and then inputs the
coefficient as the value of the arc flash protection setting [50L/NL.K_Calbr_Sensor0x] (x=0~4),
then calibrates the output light intensity of the tester. If the channel coefficient is set correctly,
adjust the output light intensity of the tester, the “50L/NL.LgtIncr_Sensor0x” (x=0~4) displayed in
the menu MainMenu→Measurements→Function Values→ArcFlash Value of the device
should be equal to the output light intensity of the tester. The operation must be done before the
arc flash protection is put into service.
The adjustment factor guarantees the accuracy of the light intensity sampling. During the
operation, if arcing caused by a short-circuit fault occurs, once the light intensity exceeds the
threshold value, the arc flash protection will operate.
The device can set whether the arc flash protection is blocked by the fault current, and the current
criterion can be enabled/disabled via the setting [50L/NL.En_CCE].

The operating threshold of the arc sensor can be set, if the light increment is greater than the
threshold value, the arc sensor operates. In order to realize the function of fast busbar protection,
the device provides an external arc flash protection tripping binary input (50L/NL.ExTrp), which
can be used to trigger the arc flash protection of local device directly. So the arc flash protection of
the device can be triggered by the arc flash protection of other bays. The external arc flash
protection tripping binary input is “0” if it is not configured. The operating logic is as shown below:

The current unbalance protection is adopted for the internal fault of capacitor bank with
double-star connection. The fault causes the capacitance reactance of a phase branch to be
changed, makes three phase reactance unequal and the unbalance current will be generated at

The current unbalance protection protection can be enabled or disabled via the settings or binary
input signals, for some specific applications, current unbalance protection needs to be blocked by
the external signal, so the device provides a function block input signal to be used to block current
unbalance protection. The enabling and blocking logic of current unbalance protection is shown in

The voltage unbalance protection is adopted for the internal fault of capacitor bank with
double-star connection. The fault causes the capacitance reactance of a phase branch to be
changed, makes three phase reactance unequal and the unbalance voltage will be generated at
neutral point.
The application of the voltage unbalance protection for a capacitor bank with double-star
connection is shown in following figure.
60/59N
This device supports two stages of voltage unbalance protection. If the unbalance voltage is
greater than the predefined setting, this protection will operate. The voltage unbalance protection
is with independent definite-time delay characteristic and with instantaneous drop-out
characteristic. In order to adapt to different applications, voltage unbalance protection can operate
to trip or alarm, it can be enabled or blocked by the external binary input.
Voltage unbalance protection can be enabled or disabled via the settings or binary input signals,
for some specific applications, voltage unbalance protection needs to be blocked by the external
signal, so the device provides a function block input signal to be used to block voltage unbalance
protection. The enabling and blocking logic of voltage unbalance protection is shown in the figure
below:

When the voltage unbalance protection is enabled and no external blocking signal is input, if the
unbalance voltage is greater than the voltage setting multiplied by 0.95, the voltage unbalance
protection will pick up.
The logic diagram of the fault detector of voltage unbalance protection is shown as below.

When the unbalance voltage (Uub) is larger than the voltage setting, the protection operates with a
time delay of top (i.e. the value of the setting [60/59-x.U_Set] (x=1~2)), and the operation
characteristic curve is shown in the following figure:

The voltage unbalance protection is with instantaneous drop-out characteristic. If the unbalance

lightning, wind, or tree branches could be transient in nature and may disappear once the circuit is
de-energized. According to statistics, for overhead transmission line, 80%~90% of the faults on
overhead lines are the transient faults. AR are installed to restore the faulted section of the
transmission system once the fault is extinguished (providing it is a transient fault). For certain
transmission systems, AR is used to improve system stability by restoring critical transmission
paths as soon as possible.
Besides overhead lines, other equipment failure, such as cables, busbar, transformer fault and so
on, are generally permanent fault, and AR is not initiated after faulty feeder is tripped. For some
mixed circuits, such as overhead line with a transformer unit, hybrid transmission lines, etc., it is
required to ensure that AR is only initiated for faults overhead line section, or make a choice
according to the situation. 3
3.31.1 Function Description
AR can be used with either integrated device or external device. When AR is used with integrated
device, the internal protection logic can initiate AR, moreover, a tripping contact from external
device can be connected to the device via input signal to initiate integrated AR.

When the synchronism check mode of auto-reclosing is independent of that of manual closing, the
device provides dedicated settings used by synchronism check for AR. The synchronism check
mode can be determined by the settings or configuration signals. When the setting
[79.Opt_RSYN_ValidMode] is set as "Setting", the synchronism check mode for AR is determined
by the settings, [79.En_SynChk], [79.En_SynDd_RefDd], [79.En_SynLv_RefDd],
[79.En_SynDd_RefLv] and [79.En_NoChk]. When the setting [79.Opt_RSYN_ValidMode] is set
as "Config", the synchronism check mode for AR is determined by configuration signals,
"79.Sel_SynChk", "79.Sel_SynDd_RefDd", "79.Sel_SynLv_RefDd", "79.Sel_SynDd_RefLv"
and "79.Sel_NoChk".

Based on the chosen synchronism check mode for AR, the device judges whether the
synchronism condition is satisfied, and then implement reclosing. When none of the synchronism
check modes for AR is selected, the device will issue an alarm "79.Alm_RSYN_Mode".
3.31.1.3 AR Ready
AR must be ready to operate before performing reclosing. The output signal [79.Ready] means
that the auto-reclosure can perform at least one time of reclosing function, i.e., breaker
open-close-open.
When the device is energized or after the settings are modified, AR cannot be ready unless the
following conditions are met:
1. AR is enabled.
2. The circuit breaker is ready, such as, normal storage energy and no low pressure signal.
3. The duration of the circuit breaker in closed position pre-fault is greater than the setting
[79.t_CBClsd].
After AR operates, it must reset, i.e. [79.Active]=0, in addition to the above conditions for reclosing
again.
When there is a fault on an overhead line, the concerned circuit breakers will be tripped normally.
After the fault is cleared, the tripping signal will drop out immediately. In case the circuit breaker is
in failure, etc., and the tripping signal of the circuit breaker maintains and in excess of the time
delay [79.t_PersistTrp], AR will be blocked, as shown in following figure
The input signal [79.CB_Healthy] must be energized before AR gets ready. Because most circuit
3
breakers can finish one complete process: open-closed-open, it is necessary that circuit breaker
has enough energy before reclosing. When the time delay of AR is exhausted, AR will be blocked
if the input signal [79.CB_Healthy] is still not energized within time delay [79.t_CBReady]. If this
function is not required, the input signal [79.CB_Healthy] can be not to configure, and its state will
be thought as “1” by default.
In order to block AR reliably even if the signal of manually open circuit breaker not connected to
the input signal of blocking AR, when the circuit breaker is open by manually and there is CB
position input under normal conditions, AR will be blocked with the time delay of 100ms if AR is
not initiated and no any trip signal.
When AR is disabled, AR fails, synchronism check fails or last shot is reached, or when the
internal blocking condition of AR is met. AR will be discharged immediately and next AR will be
disabled. When the input signal [79.LockOut] is energized, AR will be blocked immediately. The
blocking flag of AR will be also controlled by the internal blocking condition of AR. When the
blocking flag of AR is valid, AR will be blocked immediately. The logic of AR ready is shown as
below
AR will be blocked immediately once the blocking condition of AR appears, but the blocking
condition of AR will drop out with a time delay [79.t_DDO_Blk] after blocking signal disappears.

When any protection element operates to trip, the device will output a signal [79.Active] until AR
drop out (Reset Command). Any tripping signal can be from external protection device or internal
protection element.
3.31.1.4 AR Initiation
AR can be initiated by tripping signal of line protection, and the tripping signal may be from
internal trip signal or external trip signal.
When AR is ready to reclosing (“79.Ready”=1) and the tripping signal is received, this tripping
signal will be kept in the device, and AR will be initiated after the tripping signal drops out. The
tripping signal kept in the device will be cleared after the completion of AR sequence (Reset
Command). Its logic is shown as below.
& AR Initiation
SIG 79.Ready
2. AR initiated by CB state
AR can be initiated by CB state by setting the setting [79.En_CBInit]. Under normal conditions,
when AR is ready to reclose (“79.Ready”=1), AR will be initiated if circuit breaker is open and
corresponding phase current is nil. AR initiated by CB state logic is shown as below. Usually
normally closed contact of circuit breaker is used to reflect CB state.

3.31.1.5 AR Reclosing
When the dead time delay of AR expires after AR is initiated, if the synchronism check is enabled,
the release of reclosing signal shall be subject to the result of synchronism check.
After the dead time delay of AR expires, if the synchronism check is still unsuccessful within the
time delay [79.t_wait_Chk], the signal of synchronism check failure ("79.Fail_Chk") will be output
and the AR will be blocked. If 3-pole AR with no-check is enabled, the condition of synchronism
check success ("25.RSYN_OK") will always be established. And the signal of synchronism check
success ("25.RSYN_OK") from the synchronism check logic can be applied by AR inside the
device or outside the device.
SIG 79.Ok_Chk
Reclosing pulse length may be set through the setting [79.t_PW]. For the circuit breaker without
anti-pump interlock, the setting [79.En_CutPulse] is available to control the reclosing pulse. When
this function is enabled, if the device operates to trip during reclosing, the reclosing pulse will drop
out immediately, so as to prevent multi-shot reclosing onto fault. After the reclosing signal is
issued, AR will drop out with time delay [79.t_Reclaim], and can carry out next reclosing.
The reclaim timer is started when the CB closing signal is given. The reclaim timer defines a time
from the issue of the reclosing command, after which the reclosing function resets. Should a new
trip occur during this time, it is treated as a continuation of the first fault.

For line fault, the fault will be cleared after the device operates to trip. When the following cases
appear, the reclosing is unsuccessful.
1. If any protection element operates to trip when AR is enabled ("79.On"=1) and AR is not
ready ("79.Ready"=0), the device will output the signal "79.Failed".
2. For one-shot AR, if the tripping signal is received again within reclaim time after the reclosing
pulse is issued, the reclosing shall be considered as unsuccessful.
3. For multi-shot AR, if the reclosing times are equal to the setting value of AR number and the
tripping signal is received again after the last reclosing pulse is issued, the reclosing shall be
considered as unsuccessful.

The device may be set up into one-shot or multi-shot AR. Through the setting [79.Num], the
maximum number of reclosing attempts may be set up to 4 times. Generally, only one-shot AR is
selected. Some corresponding settings may be hidden if one-shot AR is selected.
⚫ [79.Num]=1
It means one-shot reclosing. Line protection device will operate to trip when a transient fault
occurs on the line and AR will be initiated. After the dead time delay for AR is expired, the device
will send reclosing pulse, and then AR will drop out after the time delay [79.t_Reclaim] to ready for
the next reclosing. For permanent fault, the device will operate to trip again after the reclosing is
performed, and the device will output the signal of reclosing failure "79.Failed".
⚫ [79.Num]>1
It means multi-shot reclosing. For multi-shot reclosing, line protection device will operate to trip
when a transient fault occurs on the line and AR will be initiated. After the dead time delay of the
first reclosing is expired, the device will send reclosing pulse, and then AR will drop out after the
time delay [79.t_Reclaim] to ready for the next reclosing. For permanent fault, the device will
operate to trip again after the reclosing is performed, and then AR is initiated after the tripping
contact drops off. After the time delay for AR is expired, the device will send reclosing pulse. The
sequence is repeated until the reclosing is successful or the maximum permit reclosing number
[79.Num] is reached.

3.31.4 Settings
The device can provide six stages of another group of phase overcurrent protection with
independent logic. Each stage can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or
inverse-time characteristics. The drop-out characteristics can be set as instantaneous drop-out,
definite-time drop-out or inverse-time drop-out. Another group of phase overcurrent protection
picks up when the current exceeds the current threshold value, and operates after a certain time
delay, once the fault disappears, another group of phase overcurrent protection will drop-out.
Another group of phase overcurrent protection can be enabled or disabled via the settings or
binary input signals, for some specific applications, overcurrent protection needs to be blocked by
the external signal, so the device provides a function block input signal to be used to block
another group of phase overcurrent protection. The enabling and blocking logic of another group

definite-time limit, it can also operate with an inverse-time limit, the characteristic curve meets the
IEC60255-3 and ANSI C37.112 standards. Another group of phase overcurrent protection can

The distance protection function is designed to meet the requirement for the application of
transmission line or underground cable. The reach of distance protection is definite, and distance
protection is easy to coordinate with protections of the adjacent equipment.
Distance protection includes three independent phase-to-phase measuring loops and three
independent phase-to-ground measuring loops. Both mho and quadrilateral characteristics are
available for different application. In addition, load encroachment, power swing blocking and
releasing, and faulty phase selection functions are also provided.
Up to 6 zones distance protection with settable direction are supplied. Each zone includes three
independent phase-to-phase measuring loops as well as three independent phase-to-ground
measuring loops. Phase-to-ground distance element should be compensated by zero-sequence
current of local line. Each zone can select forward direction, reverse direction and non direction.
Load encroachment can distinguish effectively between heavily loaded line and faulty line, and the
risk of encroachment of the load impedance into the tripping characteristics of the distance
protection can be excluded.
Power swing blocking and releasing can prevent distance protection from undesired operation
during power swing, even if measured impedance reaches into the operation area of distance 3
protection. Moreover, distance protection can operate reliably when a fault occurs during power
swing.
The current amplitude is calculated based on the injected analogue quantities. The fault detector
continuously detects the change of phase-to-phase power frequency current and the calculated
zero-sequence and negative-sequence currents. The fault detector includes:
1. Fault detector based on DPFC current: DPFC current is greater than the setting value
2. Fault detector based on zero-sequence current: Zero-sequence current is greater than the
setting value
If any of the above conditions is satisfied, the fault detector will operate to start distance protection
calculation.

DPFC current
From above figures, it is concluded that DPFC can reflect the sudden change of current at the
initial stage of a fault and has a perfect performance of fault detection. It is used to determine
whether this pickup condition is met according to Equation 3.33-1.
For multi-phase short-circuit fault, DPFC phase-to-phase current has high sensitivity to
ensure the pickup of protection device. For usual single phase to earth fault, it also has
sufficient sensitivity to pick up except the earth fault with very large fault resistance. Under
this condition, DPFC current may be very small and the sensitivity is reduced, however,
zero-sequence current is used to remedy the reduction of the sensitivity.
This element adopts adaptive floating threshold varied with the change of load current
continuously. The change of load current is small and steady under normal or power swing
condition, the adaptive floating threshold with the ΔI Set is higher than the change of current
under these conditions and hence maintains the element stability.
Where:
ΔIΦΦMAX: The maximum half-wave integration value of phase-to-phase current (ΦΦ=AB, BC,
CA)
The coefficient, 1.25, is an empirical value which ensures that the threshold is always higher
than the unbalance current of the system.
If operation condition is satisfied, the fault detector based on DPFC current will operate. The
pickup signal will maintain 5s after the fault detector based on DPFC current drops off.
The operation condition will be satisfied when zero-sequence current (3I0) is greater than the
If operation condition is satisfied, the fault detector based on zero-sequence current will
operate. The pickup signal will maintain 5s after the fault detector based on zero-sequence
current drops off.
The operation condition will be satisfied when negative-sequence current (I2) is greater than
the setting [21L.FD.NOC.I2_Set].
If operation condition is satisfied, the fault detector based on negative-sequence current will
operate. The pickup signal will maintain 5s after the fault detector based on
3
negative-sequence current drops off.
For forward direction or reverse direction close-in fault, the voltage of faulty phase is 0, the
measured impedance of faulty phase is located in the origin of R-X plane, so it cann’t be
distinguished as forward direction or reverse direction fault if not handled.
For solving the problem, the positive-sequence voltage is used as polarized voltage to distinguish
between forward direction fault and reverse direction fault. As shown in Figure 3.33-1 and Figure
3.33-2, line OA and line OE are named direction line which has good direction characteristics with
positive-sequence voltage as the polarized voltage.

The distance protection with such design thoroughly eliminates the dead zone when three-phase

When distance protection is used to protect long, heavily loaded lines, the risk of encroachment of
the load impedance into the tripping characteristics of the distance protection may exist. A load
encroachment characteristics for all zones is used to exclude the risk of unwanted fault detected
by distance protection during heavy load flow. As shown in Figure 3.33-16, if the measured
impedance locate in the load area, distance protection will be blocked.

Two settings are equipped to exclude the encroachment of the load impedance:
When power swing occurs on the power system, the impedance measured by the distance
measuring element may vary from the load impedance area into the operating zone of the
distance element. The distance measuring element may operate due to the power swing occurs at
many points of interconnected power systems. To keep the stability of whole power system,
tripping due to operation of the distance measuring element during a power swing is generally not
allowed. Distance protection adopts power swing blocking releasing to avoid maloperation
resulting from power swing. In another word, distance protection is blocked all along under the
normal condition and power swing when the respective logic settings are enabled. Only when fault
(internal fault or power swing with internal fault) is detected, power swing blocking for distance
protection is released by PSBR element.
Power swing blocking for distance element will be released if any of the following PSBR elements
operates. Each distance zone element has respective setting for selection this function.
If any of the following condition is matched, FD PSBR will operate for 160ms.
Positive sequence current is lower than the setting [21L.I_PSBR] before general fault
detector element operates.
As shown in figure below, assuming that normal load impedance locates at position 1 and the
impedance locates at position 2 when positive-sequence current is lower than the setting
3 [21L.I_PSBR], it means FD operates between point 1 and point 2 if operation condition for FD
PSBR mentioned above is fulfilled (point 3 as an example), and then FD PSBR will operate
for 160ms.

The “m”, an empirical value, is internal fixed coefficient which can ensure UF PSBR operation
during power swing with internal unsymmetrical fault, while no operation during power swing
or power swing with external fault.
⚫ In case of power swing or both power swing and external fault, asymmetric fault
discriminating element will not operate and distance protection will be blocked:
In case of power swing but no fault, I0 and I2 are near zero, but I1 is very large.
Asymmetric fault discriminating element will not operate.
In case of both power swing and external fault, if center of power swing is in scope of
protection, both phase-to-phase and grounding impedance relays may operate. At this
time, selection of value of m is used to ensure no operation of asymmetric fault
discriminating element, blocking of distance protection, and no incorrect operation
without selectivity. If power swing center is not on this line, distance protection will not
operate incorrectly without selectivity due to power swing.
In case of both power swing and internal fault, if at the instant of short circuit, system
electric potential angle is not laid out, asymmetric fault discriminating element will
operate at once. If at the instant of short circuit, system electric potential angle is laid out,
asymmetric fault discriminating element will operate when system angle gradually
decreases, or local side tripping may be activated after immediate operation of opposite
side asymmetric fault discriminating element and releasing of distance protection tripping.
In case of normal internal asymmetric phase-to-phase or grounding fault in the system,
3
relatively large zero-sequence or negative-sequence component will exist. At this time,
the above equation is true and distance protection will be released.
If a three-phase fault occurs and FD PSBR is invalid (160ms after FD operates), neither FD
PSBR nor UF PSBR will be able to release the distance protection. Thus, SF PSBR is
provided for this case specially. This detection is based on measuring the voltage at power
swing center, during power swing, U1cosΦ will constantly change periodically.
UOS=U1×COSΦ
Where:
As shown in the figure below, assume system connection impedance angle of 90°, current
vector will be perpendicular to the line connecting E M and EN, and have the same phase as
power swing center voltage. During normal operation of system or power swing, U1cosΦ just
reflects positive-sequence voltage of power swing center. In case of 3-phase short circuit,
U1cosΦ is voltage drop on arc resistor, transition resistance is arc resistance, and voltage
drop on arc resistor is less than 5%UN. In actual system, line impedance angle is not 90°.
Through compensation of angle Φ, power swing center voltage can be measured accurately.
After compensation, power swing center voltage is U1cos(Φ+90o-ΦL), where ΦL is line
impedance angle.
I
EM U EN
UOS
During power swing, power swing center voltage U1cosΦ has the following characteristics:
When electric potential phase angle difference between power supplies at two sides is 180 o,
U1cosΦ=0 and change rate dU1cosΦ/dt is the maximum. When this phase angle difference
is near 0o, power swing center voltage change rate dU1cosΦ/dt is the minimum. During short
circuit, U1cosΦ remains unchanged and dU 1cosΦ/dt=0. However, in early stage of short
circuit when normal state enters short circuit state, dU 1cosΦ/dt is very large. Therefore, use
of dU1cosΦ/dt solely to differentiate power swing and short circuit is not complete.
For these reasons, the method to release distance protection on condition that power swing
center voltage U1cosΦ is less than a setting and after a short delay can be used as symmetric
fault discriminating element. This element can accurately differentiate power swing and
3-phase short circuit fault, and constitute a complete power swing blocking scheme with other
3 elements. The element to open distance protection if U 1cosΦ is less than a certain setting
and after a delay is easy to realize and has short delay, and can trip fault more quickly and
accurately trip 3-phase short circuit fault during power swing.
The second criterion is a backup of the first criterion allowing longer monitoring period of
voltage variation.
To reduce the time delay for SF PSBR element during power swing, the change rate of
voltage at power swing center is also used which can release SF PSBR element quickly for
the fault occurred during power swing. The typical release time is less than 60ms.
The realization of phase-segregated tripping and fault location depends on the faulty phase
selection. Each zone of distance protection contains three phase-to-ground measuring elements
and three phase-to-phase measuring elements, so non-faulty phase maybe operates when there
is a fault. For example, for near-end phase A fault, phase A distance element operates, while
phase AB and phase CA distance element are also possible to operate. Therefore, the faulty
phase selection of distance protection cannot only depend on the operating phase of distance
protection.
For single-phase fault, three phase-to-ground distance elements, three phase-to-phase distance
elements and the angle relation between I0 and I2A can effectively distinguish faulty phase. As
shown in Figure 3.33-17,
I

For each distance protection zone, the three phase-to-ground distance elements share the same
time relay, and the three phase-to-phase distance elements share the same time relay.
When there is a transferring fault, operating time of distance protection with time delay is subject
to the beginning of the first fault. For example:
If the time delay of zone 2 of phase-to-ground distance element is set as 400ms, zone 2 of
phase-to-ground distance element will operate at T=400ms not T=500ms. However, time delay of
each distance protection zone is independent.

This is especially critical if the fault occurs in the remote end of transmission line, since main
protection would not clear the fault until the time delay of backup protection have elapsed. In this
situation, however, the fastest possible clearance is required. Distance SOTF (switch onto fault)
protection is a complementary function to distance protection. With distance SOTF protection, a
fast trip is achieved for a fault on the whole line, when the line is being energized. It shall be
responsive to all types of faults anywhere within the protected line.
Distance SOTF protection shares pickup signal as initiation condition with distance protection. It is
selectable among zone 2, 3 or 4 of distance protection which is accelerated to trip by manual

VT circuit failure can be caused by many reasons, such as fuse blown due to short-circuit fault,
poor contact of VT circuit, VT maintenance and so on. The device can detect them and issue an
alarm signal to block relevant protection functions. However, the alarm of VT circuit failure should
not be issued when the following cases happen.
⚫ Only current protection functions are enabled and VT is not connected to the device.
⚫ The specific current protection has picked up before the satisfaction of conditions of VT circuit
failure alarm.
VT circuit supervision can detect failure of single-phase, two-phase and three-phase on VT. Under
normal condition, the device continuously supervises input voltage from VT. The VT circuit failure
alarm will be issued with configurable time delay if residual voltage exceeds or negative-sequence
voltage exceeds the threshold value or positive-sequence voltage is less than the threshold value.
If a specific current protection (such as breaker failure protection) operates to pick up, the time
delay count-down will be paused until the protection returns to normal state.
Under normal conditions, the device detects residual voltage that is greater than the setting
[VTS.3U0_Set] or negative-sequence voltage that is greater than the setting [VTS.U2_Set] to
distinguish a single-phase or two-phase VT circuit failure, and detects positive-sequence voltage
that is less than the setting [VTS.U1_Set] to distinguish a three-phase VT circuit failure. Upon
detecting abnormality on VT circuit, an alarm will come up after a time delay of [VTS.t_DPU] and
drop-off with a time delay of [VTS.t_DDO] after that VT is restored to normal. Upon abnormality
detection on VT circuit, an instant alarm will be issued after a time delay of 25ms and drop-off
without time delay.
VT (secondary circuit) MCB auxiliary contact can be connected to the binary input circuit of the
device as a binary signal. If the MCB has been opened (i.e. "VTS.MCB_VT" is energized), the
device will consider that the VT circuit is in a bad condition and issue an alarm without a time
delay. If the auxiliary contact is not connected to the device, VT circuit supervision will be issued
with time delay as mentioned in previous paragraph.
When VT is not connected into the device, the alarm shall be not issued if the logic setting [En_VT]
is set as "Disabled". However, the alarm is still issued if the binary input "VTS.MCB_VT" is
energized, no matter that the logic setting [En_VT] is set as "Disabled" or "Enabled".

The main objective of feeder protection is fast, selective and reliable operation for faults on the
protected line. Besides this, fault location information is very important for those involved in
operation and maintenance. Reliable fault location information greatly decreases the outage of
the protected line and increases the total availability of a power system. This fault location function
3 cannot be used for the transmission line with series compensation.
For a permanent fault, it is necessary to find out and eliminate the fault point as soon as possible,
so to reduce the time of power off. Therefore, accurate fault location is very important.
Single-end fault location function is available for the device. Fault location element picks up after
the device operates to trip when there is a fault in the line. Fault location element can be activated
only after the distance protection, phase overcurrent protection or earth fault overcurrent
protection operates to trip. Once any of phase overcurrent protection or earth fault overcurrent
protection operates, fault distance calculation starts after 25ms. The premise of fault location is to
select the faulty phase. After selecting the fault phase, calculate the fault distance according to the
fault type.
The device adopts single-end fault location elemnent, which only uses the measured value of the
voltage and the current of one end. The error is mainly due to the fault resistance of fault point and
the infeed current from power source of the opposite end.
When a short-circuit fault with fault resistance occurs, additional voltage will be generated in the
fault resistance by infeed current from power source of the opposite end, which will have a great
impact to the fault location measured result. Generally, the larger the fault resistance is, the larger
the impact will be.

A control command can realize various control signals such as the CB/DS/ES opening/closing. In
order to ensure the reliability of the control output, a locking circuit is added to each control object.
The operation is strictly in accordance with the selection, check and execution steps, to ensure 4
that the control operation can be safely and reliably implemented. In addition, the device has a
hardware self-checking and blocking function to prevent hardware damage from mal-operation
output.
When the device is in the remote-control mode, the control command may be sent via
communication protocol; when it is in the local control mode, the local operation may be
performed on the device LCD or panel handle.
3. If the selection is successful, the protocol module sends an execution command, otherwise it
sends a cancel command;
When the device is in the maintenance status, it can still respond to local control commands.
The switchgear control function can cooperate with functions such as synchronism check and
interlocking criteria calculation to complete the output of the corresponding operation command. It
can realize the normal control output in one bay and the interlocking and programmable logic
configuration between bays.
Module Description
CSWI Control of circuit breaker (CB), disconnector switch (DS) or earthing switch (ES)
RMTLOC Remote or local control mode
XCBR Synthesis of CB position, three-phase or phase separated
Module Description
XSWI Synthesis of DS/ES position
SXCBR/SCSWI Trip counter of CB/DS/ES
RSYN Synchronism check for CB closing
CILO Interlocking logic for CB/DS/ES control
MCSWI Manual control of CB/DS/ES
CHKPOS Position verification for switchgear control
The initiation of a control command may be sent to the device by the SCADA or the NCC through
communication protocol. It may also be the operation of the device LCD or the manual triggering
through configured signal. The command is sent by the CPU to the control module for processing,
and a control record is made on the CPU module according to the control result.
Since the source of a control command may be SAS or NCC, or may be triggered by the device
LCD or terminal contact, it is necessary to provide a remote/local control mode switch function.
The remote/local control mode switch function determines whether the device is in the remote or
the local control permission state through the configuration of terminal contact, function key, or
binary signal. Each control object provides a remote/local input, and the control module
determines the current control authority to be remote or local according to the input value. By
default, if the input is not configured, any control operation is blocked.
A double point status (DPS), which usually indicates switchgear status, can be derived from 2
ordinary binary inputs. The signification of a DPS is shown in the following table. For switchgear
status, only the 2 statuses "01" and "10" indicating respectively the positions opening and closing
are valid. The other 2 statuses "00" and "11", i.e. intermediate or bad status, will cause the alarm
"DPS.Alm".
For the convenient use in user-defined logic programming, this functional module derives four
single-bit outputs to indicate each DSP state.
Indication Signal
DPS State
DPS_ON DPS_OFF DPS_INT DPS_BAD
ON 1 0 0 0
OFF 0 1 0 0
INT 0 0 1 0
BAD 0 0 0 1
This unit also supports the DPS synthesis through switchgear opening and closing positions after
jittering processing. The synthetic DPS contains original SOE timestamp. The CB control function
supports phase-segregated position inputs and can synthesize these inputs into general position.
4
In accordance with the control object, the DPS synthesis function is divided into 2 modules: XCBR
and XSWI. The XCBR is mainly used for CB position synthesis, including phase-segregated
positions, while the XSWI is used DS or ES position synthesis.
The trip counter function takes the DPS of switchgear position as input count the trip times. For
CB, this device supports phase-segregated and general trip counter. The trip counter function is
triggered by DPS change. The counting result is stored in non-volatile memory for power-off
holding.
Use the clear command from the menu in local LCD or customized binary signal to reset trip
counter.
4.1.2.4 Interlocking
The interlocking function will influence the control operation output. When the function is enabled,
the device determines whether the control operation is permitted based on the interlocking logic
result. Each control object is equipped with an independent interlocking logic which supports
unlocking operation through a binary signal.
The interlocking function is very important for the control operation of switchgears. During the
operation of primary equipment, the positions of the relevant equipment must be correct for
operation permission. For remote control, i.e. command from SAS or NCC, this device could
detect the interlocking logic depending on the message within the command; for local control
through device LCD or terminal contact, please use the corresponding logic setting to
enable/disable the interlocking function.
The switchgear control function supports manual control function that can be configured with a
terminal contact or binary signal to trigger the control operation.
The manual control function supports the control input configuration of selection and open/close.
When the control object selection input is configured, the signal "1" indicates that the current
control object has to be selected before a control operation; if the control object selection input is
not configured, the control command can be directly issued without judgment of selection.
The position verification function is provided during switchgear control process. In a control
function block of circuit breaker, disconnector or earthing switch, if the input “in_CheckPos_En” is
set as 1, the CB/DS/ES position shall be verified when receiving a remote or local control
command.
For applications such as signal reset and function enable/disable, the control mode is generally
direct control, i.e. execution without selection before, direct control with normal security in IEC
61850.
The direct control function provides remote/local switch and interlocking configurations. The
control command is usually issued directly by the SAS. It also supports the command triggered by
binary signal.

4 The purpose of synchronism check is to ensure two systems are synchronous before they are
going to be connected.
When two asynchronous systems are connected together, due to phase difference between the
two systems, larger impact will be led to the system during closing. Thus, closing operation is
applied with the synchronism check to avoid this situation and maintain the system stability. The
synchronism check includes synchro-check and dead charge check.
The comparative relationship between the reference side voltage and the synchronous side
voltage for synchro-check is as follow. Furthermore, the measured three-phase voltages for
synchro-check should not exceed the overvoltage threshold [25.U_OV] or lag the undervoltage
threshold [25.U_UV].
U_Ref
U_Syn
This figure shows the characteristics of synchro-check element used for CB closing if both
reference and synchronous sides are live. The element operates if the voltage difference,
frequency difference, slip frequency difference and phase angle difference are all within their
setting ranges.
⚫ The voltage difference between the reference side and the synchronous side is checked by
the following equation
⚫ The frequency difference between the reference side and the synchronization side is
checked by the following equation
df/dt ≤ [25.df/dt_Set]
⚫ The phase difference between the reference side voltage and the synchronous side voltage
is checked by the following equation
∆δ ≤ [25.phi_Diff_Set]
The dead charge check mode checks either the reference side or the synchronous side voltage.
Several dead charge check modes are supported in using the setting [25.Opt_Mode_DdChk]. The
device compares the reference side and the synchronous side voltages at both ends of a circuit
breaker with the settings [25.U_LvChk] and [25.U_DdChk]. When the voltage is higher than
[25.U_LvChk], the corresponding side is regarded as live. When the voltage is lower than
[25.U_DdChk], the corresponding side is regarded as dead.
The synchronism check function is suitable for several applications. According to different
application scenarios, user needs to configure different voltage input channel. For both the
reference side and the synchronous side, the voltage input channel may be single phase or
three-phase.
While configuring through the PCS-Studio software, user can configure three phase or single
phase voltage channel for reference and synchronous sides inputs.
In the meantime, the voltage selection logic can be adopted for the synchronism check input
channel, please refer to the following section.
If one of the following conditions is met, the synchro-check for CB closing is enabled.
4 If one of the following conditions is met, the dead charge check for CB closing is enabled.
If none of synchro-check and dead charge check is enabled, the synchronism check for CB
closing is disabled.

By default, the device adopts the principle of proximity in built-in voltage selection logic. Moreover,
it supports customized selection logic. The default voltage selection logic is automatically disabled
if the customized voltage selection logic is correctly configured.
The customized selection result may be derived from any source binary signals, such as binary
inputs, isolators status and programmable logic output signals.
If voltage selection logic fails, the alarm "VoltSel.Alm_Invalid_Sel" will be issued and the
selection output remains unchanged.

6.1 Overview
Protection system is in quiescent state under normal conditions, and it is required to respond
promptly for faults occurred on power system. When the device is in energizing process before
the LED “HEALTHY” is on, the device needs to be checked to ensure no abnormality. Therefore,
the automatic supervision function, which checks the health of the protection system when startup
and during normal operation, plays an important role.
The numerical relay based on the microprocessor operations is suitable for implementing this
automatic supervision function of the protection system.
In case a defect is detected during initialization when DC power supply is provided to the device,
the device will be blocked with indication and alarm of relay out of service. It is suggested a trial
recovery of the device by re-energization. Please contact supplier if the device is still failure.
When a failure is detected by the automatic supervision, it is followed by a LCD message, LED
indication and alarm contact outputs. The failure alarm is also recorded in event recording report
and can be printed if required.
All hardware has real-time monitoring functions, such as CPU module monitoring, communication
interface status monitoring, power supply status monitoring. 6
The monitoring function of CPU module also includes processor self-check, memory self-check
and so on. The processor self-check is checked by designing execution instructions and data
operations. Check whether the processor can execute all instructions correctly, and whether it can
correctly calculate complex data operations to determine whether it works normally. For
peripherals, it can monitor the status of the interface module, check the input and output data,
send the communication interface and receive self-loop detection. Memory self-check is used to
detect unexpected memory errors in the running process. It can effectively prevent program logic
abnormality caused by memory errors.
The status monitoring of communication interface also includes Ethernet communication interface
monitoring and differential channel communication interface monitoring. By accessing the status
register of the communication interface, the state of the corresponding interface is obtained, such
as the state of connection, the number of sending frames, the number of frames received, and the
number of wrong frames. According to the statistics of the acquired interface state, it is detected
whether the interface work is abnormal.
The hardware supervision also includes the power supply status monitoring. The voltage
monitoring chip is used by all the power supplies. The reset voltage threshold is pre-set to the
reset monitoring circuit. When the power supply is abnormal, the voltage monitoring chip will
output the reset signal to control CPU to be in the reset state and avoid the wrong operation.
In the process of operation, the safety allowance should always be kept and no overload
phenomenon is allowed. When the user configures logic components with PCS-Studio, the
PCS-Studio automatically calculates the time required for the theoretical execution of the
configured components. When the security limit is exceeded, the PCS-Studio will indicate that the
configuration error is not allowed to download the current configuration to the device.
During the operation of the device, there is a lot of data exchange between modules. The number
of data exchanges is related to the number of logical components configured by the user. When
the configuration is too large to cause the number of data exchange to exceed the upper limit
supported by the device, the PCS-Studio prompts the configuration error.
The initialization of the device depends on the configuration files of each module. The user
configured logical components will eventually be embodied in the configuration file, limited to the
hardware memory space. When the configuration file size is more than the upper limit, the
PCS-Studio prompts the configuration error.
The DDR3 memory chip has the function of ECC (Error Checking and Correcting) to eliminate
unexpected changes in memory caused by electromagnetic interference. The chip memory has
parity function. When an error occurs, the system can detect anomalies immediately, and
eliminate the logic abnormity caused by memory errors.
In addition to the above hardware memory reliability measures, the device software is also
constantly checking the memory during operation, including code, constant data, and so on. Once
the error detection, the system will automatically restart the restore operation. If they detect the
error immediately after the restart, it may be the result of a permanent fault locking device
hardware, only at the moment and not restart.
The reliability of the device is largely determined by the reliability of the export drive. By reading
the driving state of the binary output relay, the alarm signal will be generated and the device is
immediately blocked to prevent the relay from mal-operation when the device is not given a
tripping order and the binary output relay driver is detected in the effective state.
The CPU chip needs to be able to ensure long-term stability under the permissible working
temperature of the specification. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the working temperature
monitored by CPU.
The device is blocked when the actual hardware configuration is not consistent with the hardware
configuration file. Compared with pre-configured modules, this device will be blocked if more
module is inserted, fewer module is inserted, and wrong modules is inserted.
1. Each hardware module configuration check code needs to be consistent with CPU module.
The device CPU module stores the configuration check codes of other modules. In initialization
procedure, it checks whether the configuration check code of each module is consistent with the
stored code in CPU module, and if it is not consistent, this device is blocked.
2. The hardware modules and process interface versions need to be consistent with the CPU
module.
If the system is incompatible with the upgrade, it will upgrade the internal interface version. At this
moment, each hardware module and process will be upgraded synchronously, otherwise the
version of the interface will be inconsistent.
The configuration text formed by the device calibration visualization project includes checking
whether the check code is wrong or not. 6
4. Whether any setting is over the range, whether it needs to confirm the settings.
If the setting exceeds the configuration range, the device is blocked; if some settings are added, it
is necessary to confirm the new values through the LCD.
In the operation procedure, the CPU module sends a time synchronization command to other
module, each module repeats heartbeat message to the CPU module, if it does not respond or the
heartbeat is abnormal, then this device is blocked.
2. Check whether the settings of other modules are consistent with the CPU module.
The actual values of all the settings in the CPU module are initialized to send to the corresponding
slave modules. In the process of operation, the setting values stored in the CPU module and the
setting values of other modules will be checked one by one. If they are not consistent, this device
will issue the alarm signal "Fail_Settings".
The sampling circuit of this device is designed as dual-design scheme. Each analog sampling
channel is sampled by two groups of ADC. The sampling data is self checking and inter checking
in real time. If any sampling circuit is abnormal, the device reports the alarm signal “Alm_Sample“,
and the protection function related to the sampling channel is disabled at the same time. When
the sampling circuit returns to normal state, the related protection is not blocked after 10s.
The secondary circuit supervision function includes current transformer supervision (CTS),
voltage transformer supervision (VTS) and tripping/closing circuit supervision.
⚫ CTS function
The purpose of the CTS function is to detect whether the current transformer circuit is failed. In
some cases, if the CT is failed (broken-conductor, short-circuit), related protective element should
be blocked for preventing this device from mal-operation.
See further details about the CTS function, please refer Chapter 3.
⚫ VTS function
The purpose of the VTS function is to detect whether the VT analog input is normal. Because
some function, such as synchronism check, will be influenced by a voltage input failure.
The VT circuit failure can be caused by many reasons, such as fuse blown due to short-circuit
6 fault, poor contact of VT circuit, VT maintenance and so on. The device can detect the failure, and
then issue an alarm signal and block relevant function.
See further details about the VTS function, please refer to Chapter 3.
The tripping circuit supervision function can be realized by program the logic function of this
device through the PCS-Studio according to the practical application experience of the user. In
this manual, a scheme which uses two independent binary inputs to supervise the tripping circuit
is recommended.
The following figure show the recommended scheme for tripping circuit supervision and the logic
diagram of the TCS function.

Figure 6.4-1 Principle of the TCS function with two binary inputs
Where:
[BI_02] is the binary input which is serial connected with the “52b” contact.
The well-designed debounce technique is adopted in this device, and the state change of binary
input within “Debounce time” will be ignored. As shown in Figure 6.5-1.
Binary input
state
All binary inputs should setup necessary debounce time to prevent the device from undesired
operation due to transient interference or mixed connection of AC system and DC system. When
the duration of binary input is less than the debounce time, the state of the binary input will be
ignored. When the duration of binary input is greater than the debounce time, the state of the
binary input will be validated and wrote into SOE.
In order to meet flexible configurable requirement for different project field, all binary inputs
provided by the device are configurable. Through the configuration tool, this device provides two
parameters to setup debounce time of delayed pickup and drop-out based on specific binary
signal.
1. Type 1
This type of binary inputs includes enable/disable of protection functions, AR mode selection,
“BI_RstTarg”, “BI_Maintenance”, disconnector position, settings group switch, open and
close command of circuit breaker and disconnector, enable/disable of auxiliary functions (for
example, manually trigger recording). They are on the premise of reliability, and the
debounce time of delayed pickup and delayed drop-out is recommended to set as 100ms at
least.
6 2. Type 2
This type of binary inputs include breaker failure initiating binary inputs,
“CSWIxx.Cmd_LocCtrl”, “CSWIxx.Cmd_RmtCtrl” and so on.
Debounce time
The debounce time of delayed pickup and delayed drop-out is recommended to set as
15ms, in order to prevent binary signals from mal-operation due to mixed connection of
AC system and DC system.
The debounce time of delayed pickup and delayed drop-out is recommended to set as
(-t1+ t2+Time delay)≥15ms, in order to prevent binary signals from mal-operation due to
mixed connection of AC system and DC system. Where, “t1” is the debounce time of
delayed pickup, and “t2” is the debounce time of delayed drop-out.
3. Type 3
This type of binary inputs is usually used as auxiliary input condition, and the debounce time
of delayed pickup and delayed drop-out is recommended to set as 5ms.
When users have their own reasonable setting principles, they can set the
debounce time related settings according to their own setting principles.
This device can handle repetitive signal or so-called jitter via binary input module with the following
settings:
[Num_Blk_Jitter] N, times threshold to block binary input status change due to jitter
[Blk_Window_Jitter] T', blocking window of binary input status change due to jitter
For a binary input voltage variation, if the jitter processing function is enabled, its handling
principle is:
1. During the T,
⚫ If the actual jitter times < N, the block will not be initiated and the status change of this
6
binary input will be considered.
⚫ If the actual jitter times ≥ N, the T' is initiated, and the status change of binary input will
be ignored during the T'.
⚫ If the actual jitter times < N', the block window will expire. The final status of this binary
input will be compared to the original one before T', so as to determine whether there is a
change or not.
⚫ If the actual jitter times ≥ N', the T' will be initiated again immediately (i.e. restart the
timer), and the status change of binary input will be ignored during the next T'.

3. T' = t6 - t5
⚫ At t7, n = 5 =N', the processing prolongs the blocking immediately due to jitter
⚫ Jitter blocking continues, no SOE event, ② stays at 1 and ③ keeps its status.
4. T'= t8 - t7
⚫ At t9, n = 5 =N', the processing prolongs the blocking immediately due to jitter.
⚫ Jitter blocking continues, no SOE event, ② stays at 1 and ③ keeps its status.
5. T'= t10 - t9
⚫ n = 2 < N'
⚫ At t10, jitter unblocking, ② changes its status to 0, the blocking window expires and ③
restart to trace the voltage varation immediately. At this point, no debounce time takes
effect and SOE can be created since then.
The tripping counter statistics function supports statistics of the tripping operation, such as circuit
breakers, disconnectors and so on. For phase separation circuit breaker, when the position of
phase A, B, and C is detected from close state to open state, the total position tripping counter is
added, and the tripping counter is added once when the position of the disconnector is detected
from close state to open state.
6
In addition, the statistics of the number of state change of circuit breakers and disconnectors are
also provided. The state change counter will add one when the position is detected from close
state to open state or from open state to close state.
Hardware circuit and operation status of this device are self-supervised continuously. If any
abnormal condition is detected, information or report will be displayed and a corresponding alarm
will be issued.
A minor abnormality may block a certain number of protections functions while the other functions
can still work. However, if severe hardware failure or abnormality, such as PWR module failure,
DC converter failure and so on, are detected, all protection functions will be blocked and the LED
“HEALTHY” will be extinguished and blocking output contacts “BO_Fail” will be given. The
protective device then cannot work normally and maintenance is required to eliminate the failure.
All the alarm signals and the corresponding handling suggestions are listed below.
If the device is blocked or alarm signal is sent during operation, please do find out its reason with
the help of self-diagnostic record. If the reason cannot be found at site, please notify the factory
NR. Please do not simply press button “TARGET RESET” on the protection panel or re-energize

7.2.1 Overview
The device can provide real-time state information, including analog quantities (such primary
measurement value, secondary measurement value, metering value and so on) and status
7 quantities (supervision status, input status, output status and so on). By check these state
information, operators can know operation state of the protected equipment and whether the
device is healthy.
These state information can be gained via local HMI. The menu path is:
1. Analog quantities

7.4.1 Overview
Fault recorder can be used to have a better understanding of the behaviour of the power network
and related primary and secondary equipment during and after a disturbance. Analysis of the
recorded data provides valuable information that can be used to improve existing equipment. This
information can also be used when planning for and designing new installations.
The fault recorder is comprised of the report and the waveform, which can be triggered by pickup
signals, trip signals and configurable binary signal “BI_TrigDFR”.
The fault memory of the device is automatically updated with every recording. When the fault
memory is filled completely, the oldest records are overwritten automatically. Thus, the most
recent recordings are always stored safely. The maximum number of recordings is 64.
1. Sequence number
Each operation will be recorded with a sequence number in the record and displayed on LCD
screen.
The date and time are recorded when a system fault is detected. The time resolution is 1ms.
An operating time (not including the operating time of output relays) is recorded in the record. The
time resolution is 1ms.
4. Fault information
A fault waveform contains all analog and digital quantities related to protection such as currents,
voltages, differential current, alarm elements, binary inputs and etc.
The overall duration of a single fault recording comprises the total duration of the configurable
recording criterion, the pre-trigger time and the post-trigger time. With the fault recording
parameter, these components can be individually set. The pre-trigger waveform recorded duration
is configured via the setting [RecDur_PreTrigDFR]. The waveform recorded duration after the fault
disappears is configured via the setting [RecDur_PostFault]. The maximum post-trigger waveform
7 recorded duration is configured via the setting [MaxRecDur_PostTrigDFR].
4. [MaxRecDur_PostTrigDFR]
Trigger point
The pickup recording time cannot be set. It continues as long as any valid trigger condition, binary
or analog, persists (unless limited by the limit time, which is determined by the setting
[MaxRecDur_PostTrigDFR]).
The recording time begins after all activated triggers are reset. Use the setting [RecDur_PostFault]
to set this time.
Use the setting [MaxRecDur_PostTrigDFR] to set this time. If the summation of pickup recording
time and post-fault recording time is larger than maximal post-trigger recording time, the
post-trigger recording time shall be equal to the setting [MaxRecDur_PostTrigDFR].
The device provides corresponding menus to check fault recording. The menu path is:
Using the virtual LCD tool, the corresponding content can be viewed through the same menu path
as local LCD.
Fault recording can be uploaded into clients through corresponding communication service of the
protocol (including IEC60870-5-103, IEC61850, DNP3).
The device can print fault recording, so that the operator can observe and save the current
operation condition. The access path is:
The device provides maintenance state, i.e., the binary input [BI_Maintenance] is energized,
which is convenient for maintenance work. For adopting conventional CT/VT, binary inputs and
binary outputs, maintenance state has no influence on protection logics. For binary inputs and
binary outputs by GOOSE connections. During device maintenance, the object will send GOOSE
message with Test quality attribute. The Test quality attribute indicates to the receiver device that
the object received via a GOOSE message was created under test conditions and not operating
conditions. If the Test quality attribute received is different with the object's Test quality attribute,
binary inputs and binary outputs by GOOSE connections will be affected based on different types
of binary inputs and binary outputs. For SV (Sampling Value) message, if the Test quality attribute
received is different with the object's Test quality attribute, the relevant protection functions will be
blocked.
For IEC60870-5-103 protocol, only the messages in link layer maintained, service messages in
the application layer which is uploaded automatically are blocked, and service messages in the
application layer which is issued by the client are rejected. For IEC61850 protocol, all Test quality
attribute set as "1". For DNP3 and ModBus protocol, they are not affected.
The device provides Test Mode to allow all protection elements, supervision events and binary
events to fulfill communication test, but to avoid the output contacts to close. During
communication test, protection functions are not affected, the signals generated by
communication test are recorded in relevant reports, and event recording and fault recording will
not stop recording disturbance information. The alarm signal "Alm_CommTest" will be issued to
indicate the operator when activating Test Mode and exiting Test Mode.
Communication test can be gained via local HMI and the virtual HMI, the corresponding content
can be viewed through the following menu paths:
⚫ Events Simulation
⚫ Forced Measurements
If no input operation is carried out within 60s, this test will exit and return to
the previous menu automatically.
Output test can be gained via the local LCD or virtual HMI of a debugging PC, the corresponding
content can be viewed through the following menu paths:
⚫ Contacts Outputs
⚫ GOOSE Outputs
The device provides target reset which can be used to reset local signals (including magnetic
latching output relays), latched LEDs, and confirm pop-up windows of reports. The function does
not affect the protection logic and communication function. There are several ways to reset.

For different applications users can save the respective function settings in so-called settings
groups, and if necessary enable them quickly. Up to 20 different settings groups can be saved in
the device. In the process, only one settings group is active at any given time. During operation,
the operator can switch between setting groups.
The device will be temporarily blocked during switching setting groups. During temporary device
blocking, the device will loss protection functions and communication functions. Alarm signals
"Fail_Device" and "Alm_Device" will be issued. There are several ways to switch setting groups.
⚫ Press the command pushbutton “MENU” under main interface (password is required)
The communication protocols IEC 60870-5-103 or IEC 61850 can be used for switching the
setting groups via a communication connection.
The device also provides an available function by configuring associated binary signals via
PCS-Studio to switch setting group, which can be external binary inputs or internal logic
signals. By default, no binary signals are configured, so the function is invalid. (The specificed
confiuration method can refer to the application manual).
Each input signal is coded with a sequence number that corresponds to a setting group.
7 When the associated input signal changes, the device scans all input signals and selects the
input with the smallest sequence number as the valid input. The device switches to the
setting range corresponding to the input signal. The device can switch up to 20 setting
groups.

8.3 CT Requirement
⚫ CT Requirement
Generally, CT saturation will cause a certain time delay to the operation of a protection, which is
obvious for inverse-time overcurrent protection. When the maximum fault current is far greater
than the current seting, the operating time delay generated at this time can be ignored. If the
maximum fault current is slightly greater than the current setting, the operating time delay
generated at this time is equivalent to the primary time constant of the system. When there is an
upper-lower coordination relationship, the effect of this time delay needs to be considered.
In where:
𝐸𝑠𝑙′ is the secondary electromotive force required for the maximum prospective fault current
According to the operating characteristics, the phase overcurrent protection and earth fault
overcurrent protection are divided into the following two situations:
For instantaneous overcurrent protection, definite-time overcurrent protection and earth fault
overcurrent protection:
𝐼𝑠𝑒𝑡 is the the inverse-time reference current setting or 1.1 times of the maximum load current.
For the directional overcurrent protection and earth fault overcurrent protection, try to choose the
low remanence or no remanence CT.
𝑅𝑏′ = 𝑅𝑟 + 2 × 𝑅𝐿
𝑅𝑏′
𝑅𝑟 : Protection device phase current input impedance, it takes 0.01ohm
⚫ Example
5P30, 𝐼𝑝𝑟 =2000A, 𝐼𝑠𝑟 =5A,𝑅𝑐𝑡 = 1.0ohm, 𝑆𝑟 =60VA,𝐼𝑝𝑐𝑓 =40000A,𝑅𝐿 =0.5ohm,𝑅𝑟 =0.01ohm, the
primary time constant of the system is 80ms, calculate that whether the CT can meet the
requirements of definite-time overcurrent protection.
𝐸𝑠𝑙′ = 𝐼𝑝𝑐𝑓 × 𝐼𝑠𝑟 × (𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑅𝑏′ )/𝐼𝑝𝑟 = 40000 ∗ 5 ∗ (1.0 + (0.01 + 2 ∗ 0.5))/2000 = 201V
𝐸𝑠𝑙′ < 𝐸𝐴𝐿𝐹 , it can meet the requirements of definite-time overcurrent protection.
The +5Vdc output provides power supply for all the electrical elements that need +5Vdc power
supply in this device.
The use of an external miniature circuit breaker is recommended. The miniature circuit breaker
must be in the on position when the device is in operation and in the off position when the device
is in cold reserve.
Four types of power supply modules are provided: NR6305A, NR6305B, NR6310A and NR6311A.
The NR6305B is same as the NR6305A except that the NR6305B can support at least 500ms
power supply interruption. The terminal definition of NR6311A is same as that of NR6310A except
that the input voltage of NR6311A is 18~72Vdc.
The power supply module also provides 9 binary inputs, 5 binary outputs and a device failure
8 binary output. A 26-pin connector is fixed on the power supply module. The terminal definition of
the connector is described as below.

screw shall be connected to grounding screw and then connected to the
earth copper bar of panel via dedicated grounding wire.
The main functional details of the CPU module are listed as below:
The CPU module can calculate protective elements (such as overcurrent element) on the
basis of the analog sampled values (voltages and currents) and binary inputs, then it does
logical judgment function and decides whether the device needs to trip or close.
⚫ Communication function
The CPU module can effectively manage all communication procedures, and reliably send
out some useful information through its various communication interfaces. These interfaces
are used to communicate with a SAS or a RTU. It also can communicate with the human
machine interface module. If an event occurs (such as SOE, protective tripping event etc.),
this module will send out the relevant event information through these interfaces, and make it
be easily observed by the user.
⚫ Support of Protocols
⚫ Auxiliary calculation
Based on the voltage and current inputs, the CPU module also can calculate out the metering
values, such as active power, reactive power and power factor etc. All these values can be
sent to a SAS or a RTU through the communication interfaces.
This module can respond the commands from the keypad of this device and show the results
on the LCD and LED indicators of this device. It also can show the operation situation and
event information for the users through the LCD and LED indicators.
⚫ Time synchronization
This module has a local clock chip and an interface to receive time synchronized signals from
external clock source. These signals include PPS (pulse per second) signal and IRIG-B
signal. Basing on the timing message (from SAS or RTU) and the PPS signal, or basing on
the IRIG-B signal, this module can synchronize local clock with the standard clock.

1. [Cfg_NetPorts_Bond]
The setting is used to configure dual-networks switching, and it means that no dual-networks
switching is created when the setting is set as “0”. The device supports a bond between any two
Ethernet ports, and the bond among three or above Ethernet ports is impermissible.
The devices communicate with SAS by station level network. In order to ensure reliable
communication, dual networks (i.e., network 1 and network 2) are adopted. Another special
communication mode based on dual networks is that Ethernet port 1 and Ethernet port 2 of the
device own the same IP address and MAC address, and network 1 and network 2 are used as hot
standby each other. When both network 1 and network 2 are normal, any of them is used to
communicate between the device and SAS. The device will automatically switch to the other
healthy network when one network is abnormal, which will not affect normal communication.
Taking a CPU module with four Ethernet ports as an example, each bit is corresponding with an
Ethernet port, i.e., Bit0, Bit1, Bit2 and Bit3 are corresponding with Ethernet port 1, Ethernet port 2,
Ethernet port 3 and Ethernet port 4 respectively. If a bond between Ethernet port 1 and Ethernet 2
is created, the setting [Cfg_NetPorts_Bond] is set as “3”. The specific setting is as below.

⚫ After the device is powered on, network 1 is selected when the link status of both network 1
and network 2 are normal.
⚫ When the link status of network 1 is abnormal, network 2 is selected if network 2 is normal.
⚫ When the link status of network 1 is abnormal, network 1 is kept to work if network 2 is also
abnormal.
⚫ When network 2 is working, network 2 is kept to work even if network 1 has been restored to
normal. The device will be switched to network 1 only if network 2 is abnormal.
