Example of a 7UT613 for a three-winding transformer with 3 measuring locations
M1, M2 and M3, with 2 single-phase auxiliary inputs X1 and X2

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

1.1 Overall Operation

Analog Inputs

The analog inputs AI transform the currents and voltages derived from the instrument transformers and match them to the internal signal levels for processing in the
device. Depending on the version, the device comprises 12 current inputs (7UT613
and 7UT633) up to 16 current inputs (7UT635). Three current inputs are provided for
the input of the phase currents at each end (= measurement location) of a three-phase
protected object, further single-phase inputs (auxiliary inputs IX) may be used for any
desired current, e.g. the earth current measured between the starpoint of a transformer winding and ground or a further single-phase measured current. One or two inputs
may be designed for highly sensitive current detection thus allowing, for example, the
detection of small tank leakage currents of power transformers or reactors, or with
an external series resistor processing of a voltage (e.g. for high-impedance unit
protection).
The versions 7UT613 and 7UT633 can be provided with 4 voltage inputs. 3 of them
may be connected to the phase-to-earth voltages. A further, single-phase, voltage input (auxiliary input U4) is suitable for connection of a single-phase voltage, which may
be the displacement voltage (open delta) or any other voltage as desired. Of course,
the differential protection does not require any measured voltages. However, voltages
can be connected to the device in order to use the integrated overexcitation protection
which calculates the induction level in power transformers or shunt reactors. Voltage
connection allows also to measure, display, transmit, and supervise voltages and further quantities derived from these, like power, power factor, induction.
The analog signals are then routed to the input amplifier group IA.
The input amplifier group IA ensures a high impedance termination for the measured
signals. It contains filters which are optimized in terms of band width and speed with
regard to the signal processing.
The analog/digital converter group AD provides a multiplexer, analog/digital converters and memory modules for the data transfer to the microcomputer system C.

Microcomputer
System

Apart from processing the measured values, the microcomputer system C also executes the actual protection and control functions. In particular, the following are included:
Filtering and conditioning of measured signals.
Continuous supervision of measured signals.
Monitoring of the pickup conditions of the individual protection functions.
Conditioning of the measured signals, i.e. conversion of currents according to the
connection group of the protected power transformer (when used for transformer
differential protection) and matching of the current amplitudes.
Formation of the differential and restraint quantities.
Frequency analysis of the phase currents and restraint quantities.
Calculation of the RMS-values of the currents for thermal replica and scanning of
the temperature rise of the protected object.
Interrogation of threshold values and time sequences.
Processing of signals for the logic functions.
Processing of user-definable logical functions.
Reaching trip command decisions.

1 Introduction

Checking an issuing commands for switching devices.


Storage of fault messages, fault annunciations as well as oscillographic fault data
for system fault analysis.
Calculation and display/indication of measured values and further values derived
from these.
Operating system and related function management such as e.g. data recording,
real time clock, communication, interfaces etc.
The information is provided via output amplifier OA.
Binary Inputs and
Outputs

The microcomputer system obtains external information through binary inputs such as
remote resetting or blocking commands for protective elements. The C issues information to external equipment via the output contacts. These outputs include, in particular, trip commands to circuit breakers and signals for remote annunciation of important events and conditions.

Front Elements

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a display screen (LCD) on the front panel provide
information such as targets, measured values, messages related to events or faults,
status, and functional status of the 7UT6.
Integrated control and numeric keys in conjunction with the LCD facilitate local interaction with the 7UT6. All information of the device can be accessed using the integrated control and numeric keys. The information includes protective and control settings,
operating and fault messages, and measured values (see also SIPROTEC System
Manual, order-no. E50417H1176C151). The settings can be modified as are discussed in Chapter 2.
Using integrated switchgear control functions, the control of circuit breakers and other
equipment is possible from the 7UT6 front panel.
The versions 7UT61 provide a 4-line alphanumerical display on the front plate, the versions 7UT63 have a graphical display. The latter also contain elements for local control and key-operated switches.

Serial Interfaces

A serial operator interface (PC port) on the front panel is provided for local communications with the 7UT6 through a personal computer. Convenient operation of all functions of the device is possible using the SIPROTEC 4 operating program DIGSI.
A separate serial service interface is provided for remote communications via a modem, or local communications via a substation master computer that is permanently
connected to the 7UT6. DIGSI is required.
All 7UT6 data can be transferred to a central master or main control system through
the serial system (SCADA) interface. Various protocols and physical arrangements
are available for this interface to suit the particular application.
Another interface is provided for the time synchronization of the internal clock via external synchronization sources.
Via additional interface modules further communication protocols may be created.
The service interface may be used, alternatively, for connection of a RTD-box in order
to process external temperatures, e.g. in overload protection. Optionally, an additional interface can be available for the RTD-box.

1.1 Overall Operation

Power Supply

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

The 7UT6 can be supplied with any of the common power supply voltages. Transient
dips of the supply voltage which may occur during short-circuit in the power supply
system, are bridged by a capacitor (see Technical Data, Subsection 4.1.2).

1 Introduction

1.2

Applications
The numerical differential protection system 7UT6 is a fast and selective short-circuit
protection for transformers of all voltage levels, for rotating machines, for series and
shunt reactors, or for short lines and mini-busbars with 2 to 5 feeders (dependent on
version). It can also be used as a single-phase protection for busbars with up to 9 or
12 feeders (dependent on version). The individual application can be configured,
which ensures optimum matching to the protected object.
The device is also suited for two-phase connection and for use in traction systems with
16,7 Hz rated frequency.
A major advantage of the differential protection principle is the instantaneous tripping
in the event of a short-circuit at any point within the entire protected zone. The current
transformers limit the protected zone at the ends towards the network. This rigid limit
is the reason why the differential protection scheme shows such an ideal selectivity.
For use as transformer protection, the device is normally connected to the current
transformer sets which separate the power transformer from the remaining power system. The phase displacement and the interlinkage of the currents due to the winding
connection of the transformer are matched in the device by calculation algorithms. The
earthing conditions of the starpoint(s) can be adapted to the users requirements and
are automatically considered in the matching algorithms. Furthermore, it is possible to
combine the currents flowing via different current transformer sets to the same winding
of the power transformer by internal calculation.
For use as generator or motor protection, the currents in the starpoint leads of the machine and at its terminals are compared. Similar applies for series reactors.
Short lines or mini-busbars with 3 or up to 5 ends or feeders (dependent on version)
can be protected either. Short means that the connections from the CTs to the device
do not cause an impermissible burden for the current transformers.
For transformers, generators, motors, or shunt reactors with earthed starpoint, the current between the starpoint and earth can be measured and used for highly sensitive
earth fault protection.
The 9 or 12 standard current inputs of the device (dependent on version) allow for a
single-phase protection for busbars with up to 9 or 12 feeders. One 7UT6 is used per
phase in this case. Alternatively, (external) summation transformers can be installed
in order to allow a busbar protection for up to 6 or 12 feeders with one single 7UT6
relay.
If not all analog inputs are needed for the differential protection of the protected object,
the remaining inputs can be used for different, independent protection or measurement tasks. If, for example, a 7UT635 (with 5 three-phase current inputs) is intended
for protection of a three-winding power transformer, the 2 remaining sets of current inputs can be used for time overcurrent protection of another object, e.g. an auxiliaries
system circuit.
One or two additional current inputs can be designed for very high sensitivity. This may
be used e.g. for detection of small leakage currents between the tank of transformers
or reactors and earth thus recognizing even high-resistance faults. Voltage measurement is also possible with an external dropper resistor.
For transformers (including auto-transformers), generators, and shunt reactors, a
high-impedance unit protection system can be formed using 7UT6. In this case, the

7UT6 Manual

1.2 Applications

currents of all current transformers (of equal design) at the ends of the protected zone
feed a common (external) high-ohmic resistor the current of which is measured using
a high-sensitive current input of 7UT6.
The device provides backup time overcurrent protection functions for all types of protected objects. The functions can be enabled for any side or measuring location.
A thermal overload protection is available for any type of machine. This can be complemented by the evaluation of the hot-spot temperature and ageing rate, using an external RTD-box to allow for the inclusion of the oil temperature.
An unbalanced load protection enables the detection of unsymmetrical currents.
Phase failures and negative sequence currents which are especially dangerous for rotating machines can thus be detected.
The versions with measured voltage inputs provide an overexcitation protection for the
detection of increased induction in objects with shunt reactance like power transformers or power shunt reactors. This protection monitors the ratio U/f which is proportional
to the magnetic flux or the induction B in the iron core. It enables to detect imminent
iron saturation which may occur in power stations, e.g. after (full) load shedding or decrease in frequency.
A version for 16,7 Hz two-phase application is available for traction supply (transformers or generators) which provides all functions suited for this application (differential
protection, restricted earth fault protection, overcurrent protection, overload protection).
A circuit breaker failure protection checks the reaction of one circuit breaker after a trip
command. It can be assigned to any of the sides or measuring locations of a protected
object.

2 Functions

2.1

General
A few seconds after the device is switched on, the default display appears in the LCD.
In the 7UT6 measured values are displayed.
Configuration settings (Subsection 2.1.1) can be entered using a PC and the software
program DIGSI and transferred via the operating interface on the device front, or via
the serial service interface. Operation via DIGSI is described in the SIPROTEC 4
System Manual, order no. E50417H1176C151. Entry of password No. 7 (for setting
modification) is required to modify configuration settings. Without the password, the
settings may be read, but cannot be modified and transmitted to the device.
The function parameters, i.e. settings of function options, threshold values, etc., can
be entered via the keypad and display on the front of the device, or by means of a personal computer connected to the front or service interface of the device running the
DIGSI software package. The level 5 password (individual parameters) is required.
In this general section, you make the basic decisions about the correct interaction between your power system, the measuring locations (CTs), the analog connections and
the protection function of the device. Because of the comprehensive range of features
provided by the devices of the 7UT6 family, this section is quite extensive. In fact, the
parameters discussed in it provide the device with the fullest possible information on
the system to be protected, including the measuring locations (i.e. the current and voltage transformers) and the settings for those protection functions which will be active
in the device.
In a first step (Subsection 2.1.1) you specify which type of system element you want
to protect, since the scope of additional features offered varies depending on the type
of main protected object. You also choose the protection functions that you want to
use for the intended application; part of the functions implemented in the device may
be unnecessary, useless or even impossible in the concrete case.
In a next step (Subsection 2.1.2) you describe the topology of the protected object. i.e.
the arrangement of the protected object, its sides (windings for transformers, sides for
generators/motors, ends for lines, feeders for busbars), and the measuring locations
which will provide the respective measured values.
After entering some general power system data (frequency, phase sequence), you
inform the device of the properties of the main protected object; this is described in
Subsection 2.1.3. Object properties include the nominal data and (in the case of
transformers) the starpoint conditioning, vector group and, where applicable, the autoconnected winding.
Subsection 2.1.3 also deals with the CT data which must be set to ensure that the
currents acquired at the various measuring locations are evaluated in the device with
the correct scale factor.
The above information is sufficient to describe the protected object to the device's
main protection function, i.e. the differential protection. For the other protection
functions, you select in Subsection 2.1.4 which measured values will be processed by
them and in which way.
The circuit breaker data are set in Subsection 2.1.5.
Subsection 2.1.8 describes setting groups and how they are used.
Finally, Subsection 2.1.9 contains some general data which are independent of the
protection functions.

2.1 General

2.1.1

Configuration of the Scope of Functions

General

The 7UT6 relay contains a series of protective and additional functions. The scope of
hardware and firmware is matched to these functions. Furthermore, commands (control actions) can be suited to individual needs of the protected object. In addition, individual functions may be enabled or disabled during configuration, or interaction between functions may be adjusted. Functions not to be used in the actual device can
thus be masked out.
Example for the configuration of the scope of functions:
7UT6 devices should be intended to be used for busbars and transformers. Overload
protection should only be applied on transformers. If the device is used for busbars
this function is set to 'LVDEOHG and if used for transformers this function is set to (Q
DEOHG.
The available function are configured (QDEOHG or 'LVDEOHG. For various functions,
a choice may be presented between several options which are explained below.
Functions configured as 'LVDEOHG are not processed by the 7UT6. There are no
messages, and associated settings (functions, limit values, etc.) are not displayed during detailed settings.
Note:
Available functions and default settings are depending on the ordering code of the relay (see ordering code in the Appendix A.1 for details).

Determination of
Functional Scope

Configuration settings may be entered using a PC and the software program DIGSI
and transferred via the operating interface on the device front, or via the serial service
interface. Operation via DIGSI is described in the SIPROTEC 4 system manual, order number E50417H1176C151 (Section 5.3).
Entry of password No. 7 (for setting modification) is required to modify configuration
settings. Without the password, the settings may be read, but cannot be modified and
transmitted to the device.

Special Cases

Many of the settings are self-explanatory. The special cases are described below. Appendix A.4 includes a list of the functions with the suitable protected objects.
If the setting group change-over function is to be used, the setting in address  *US
&KJH237,21 must be set to (QDEOHG. In this case, it is possible to apply up to four
different groups of settings for the function parameters. During normal operation, a
convenient and fast switch-over between these setting groups is possible. The setting
'LVDEOHG implies that only one function parameter setting group can be applied and
used.
The definition of the protected object (address  35272%-(&7) is decisive for the
applicable setting parameters and for the assignment of the inputs and outputs of the
device to the protection functions. This object is defined as the main protected object
which is intended to be protected by the differential protection. It should be mentioned
here that further parts of the power plant can be protected by other part functions if not
all measured current inputs of the device are necessary for the differential protection
of the main protected object.

2 Functions

The settings for the protected object and the following protection functions are independent of the way how the protection function act on the protected object and which
measuring locations (current transformers) are available. This latter topic is covered
by Subsection 2.1.2. Topology of the Protected Object (Power System Data 1).
For normal power transformers with isolated windings set 35272%-(&7 = 
SKDVHWUDQVI regardless of the number of windings, the connection group
(winding interconnection) and the earthing conditions of the starpoint(s). This is
even valid if a neutral earthing reactor is situated within the protected zone (cf. Figure 2-29, page 88). If the differential protection shall cover a generator or motor and
a block connected power transformer (also with more than 2 windings), the protected object is declared as SKDVHWUDQVI, too.
The option $XWRWUDQVI is selected for auto-transformers, regardless whether
the auto-transformer provides one or more further isolated windings. This option is
also applicable for shunt reactors if current transformers are installed at both sides
of the connection points (cf. Figure 2-35 right graph, page 92).
For a SKDVHWUDQVI, the phase input L2 is not connected. This option is suited
especially to single-phase power transformers with 16,7 Hz (traction transformers).
Equal setting is valid for generators and motors. The option *HQHUDWRU0RWRU
also applies for series reactors and shunt reactors which latter are equipped with
current transformers at both terminal sides.
Select the option SK%XVEDU if the device is used for mini-busbars. The maximum
number of feeders is determined by the number of three-phase measurement inputs of the device. 7UT613 and 7UT633 provide 3, 7UT635 allows 5 three-phase
measurement inputs. This setting applies also for short lines which are terminated
by sets of current transformers at each terminal. Short means that the current
transformer leads between the CTs and the device do not form an impermissible
burden for the CTs.
The device can be used as single-phase differential protection for busbars, either
using one device per phase or one device connected via external summation CTs.
Select the option SK%XVEDU in this case. The maximum number of feeders is determined by the number of single-phase measurement inputs of the device
(7UT613 and 7UT633 allow 6 or 9, 7UT635 allows 12 single-phase measurement
inputs for this purpose).
Note that the restricted earth fault protection (address  5()3527) cannot be applied for busbars or auto-transformers (address  35272%-(&7 = SK%XVEDU
or SK%XVEDU or $XWRWUDQVI).
To select the type of characteristics according to which the phase overcurrent time
protection is to operate use address  '07,'073KDVH. If it is only used as definite time overcurrent protection (DMT), set 'HILQLWH7LPH. In addition to the definite time overcurrent protection an inverse time overcurrent protection may be configured, if required. The latter operates according to an IEC characteristic (72&,(&), to
an ANSI characteristic (72&$16,) or to a user-defined characteristic. In the latter
case the trip time characteristic (8VHU'HILQHG38) or both the trip time characteristic and the reset time characteristic (8VHUGHI5HVHW) are configured. For the
characteristics please refer to the Technical Data (Section 4.4).
The type of characteristics used for the zero sequence (residual) overcurrent time protection can be set in address  '07,'07,. The same options are available as
for the phase overcurrent protection. However, for zero sequence overcurrent protection the settings may be different from the settings selected for phase overcurrent pro-

tection. This protection function always acquires the residual current 3I0, i.e. the sum
of the corresponding phase currents, of the supervised measuring location which may
be different from that of the phase overcurrent protection. Note that the zero sequence
overcurrent protection is not possible on single-phase protected objects (address 
35272%-(&7 = SKDVHWUDQVI or SK%XVEDU).
There is another earth current time overcurrent protection which is independent from
the before-described zero sequence overcurrent protection. This protection, to be configured in address  '07,'07(DUWK, acquires the current connected to a singlephase current measuring input. In most cases, it is the starpoint current of an earthed
starpoint (for transformers, generators, motors or shunt reactors). For this protection
you may select one of the characteristic types, the same way as for the phase time
overcurrent protection, no matter which characteristic has been selected for the latter.
A single-phase definite-time overcurrent protection '073+$6( for different userrequirements is available in address . This protection function is very well suited
e.g. for highly sensitive tank leakage protection (see also Subsection 2.7.3) or highimpedance unit protection (see also Subsection 2.7.2). A high-sensitivity current input
can be used for this purpose (cf. Subsection 2.1.2 under header margin High-Sensitivity Auxiliary 1-phase Measuring Locations.
In address  81%$/$1&(/2$' the unbalanced load protection supervises the
negative sequence current. The trip time characteristics can be set to definite time
('HILQLWH7LPH), additionally operate according to an IEC characteristic (72&,(&)
or to an ANSI characteristic (72&$16,). Note that this protection is not applicable on
single-phase protected objects (address  35272%-(&7 = SKDVHWUDQVI
or SK%XVEDU).
In address  7+(5029(5/2$' you can select between two methods of overload
detection:
Overload protection with thermal replica according to IEC 60255-8 (WKHUPDO
UHSOLFD),
Overload protection with calculation of hot-spot temperature and the aging rate according to IEC 60354 (,(&).
The first method is characterized by its easy handling and a low number of setting values. The second method requires detailed knowledge about the protected object, the
environment it is located in and cooling. The latter one is useful for transformers with
incorporated temperature detectors (RTD = Resistance Temperature Detector). For
more information see also Section 2.9. Note that the overload protection is not applicable for single-phase busbar protection (address  35272%-(&7 = SK%XV
EDU).
If overload protection with calculation of hot-spot temperature is used according to IEC
60354 (address  7+(5029(5/2$' = ,(&), at least one RTD-box must be
connected to the service interface or additional interface. The RTD-box informs the
device about the temperature of the coolant. The interface is set in address  57'
%2;,1387. The possible interfaces are dependent on the version of 7UT6 (cf. Ordering Information and Accessories in Appendix A). 3RUW& is available in all versions. The number of resistance temperature detectors and the way the RTD-box(es)
transmit information is set in address  57'&211(&7,21: 57'VLPSOH[ or 
57'+'; (with 1 RTD-box) or 57'+'; (with 2 RTD-boxes). This must comply
with the settings at the RTD-box(es).
Note: The temperature measuring point relevant for the calculation of the hot-spot
temperature must be fed via the first RTD-box.

Terminology

The large variety of connection facilities of the device requires to create an exact image of the topology of the protected object. The device must be informed in which way
the measured quantities derived from the measured value inputs of the device have
to be processed by the different protection functions.
The topology of the protected object comprises the totality of all information: how the
protected object (or several objects) is arranged, which current transformer sets supply the currents flowing into the protected object(s), and which voltages (if available)
are measured at which location of the protected object. Thus, the result of the topological consideration is a complete replica of the protected object(s) with all available
measuring locations. It will be decided on a later stage (Subsection 2.1.4) which measured quantities should be used by which protection functions.
Distinction must be made between the main protected object and further objects: The
main protected object is that to which the main protection function, i.e. the differential
protection, is applied. This is the power transformer, generator, motor, etc. as stated
under address  35272%-(&7.
The main protected object has 2 or more sides. The sides of a power transformer are
the winding terminals, a generator or motor is terminated by the terminal side and the
starpoint side. In case of combined objects like generators and transformers in unit
connection the sides are the exterior terminals. In case of busbars the feeders form
the sides. The expression side is applied exclusively to the main protected object.
The currents flowing into the protected object are taken from the measuring locations.
These are represented by the current transformers which limit the protected zone.
They may be or may not be identical with the sides. Differences between measurement locations and sides arise, for example, if a power transformer winding (= 1 side)
is fed from 2 galvanically connected lead wires via 2 sets of current transformers
(measuring locations).

20

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.1 General

The measuring locations which feed a side of the main protected object are the assigned measuring locations. If a 7UT6 device provides more 3-phase current inputs
than are needed for the main protected object, the remaining measuring locations are
named non-assigned measuring locations. These can be used for other protection, supervision, and measuring purposes which process 3-phase currents, e.g. restricted
earth fault protection, time overcurrent protection, unbalanced load protection, overload protection, or simply for display of measured values. The non-assigned measuring locations give currents of a further protected object.
Depending on the device version, 1 to 4 single-phase auxiliary current inputs are available for processing of further 1-phase currents. These can be used for processing of
1-phase currents, e.g. the earth current between a winding starpoint and earth, or the
leakage current between a transformer tank and earth. These can also be assigned to
the main protected object or non-assigned. If they are assigned to a side of the main
protected object, they can be processed by the differential protection (example: inclusion of the starpoint current into the differential current); non-assigned 1-phase measuring locations can be processed by other protection functions (example: detection of
a tank leakage current by the single-phase overcurrent protection. They can either be
combined with other non-assigned 3-phase measuring locations (example: restricted
earth fault protection on a further protected object, i.e. different from the main protected object.
Figure 2-1 illustrates the terminology on an example. Note that the example is not
practicable in this arrangement as it contains more connections than possible; it
serves only for clarification of the terminology.
The main protected object is a two-winding transformer YNd with an earthed starpoint
at the Y-side. Side S1 is the upper voltage side (Y), side S2 is the lower voltage side
(d). This definition of the sides for the main protected object (and only for it) is the basis
for the formation of the differential and restraint currents used in the differential protection.
For the side S1 two measuring locations are provided, M1 and M2. The currents measured at these locations are associated with side S1, their sum flows from the terminals
of side 1 into the protected zone of the main protected object. The position of the busbar disconnectors is irrelevant in this case. Likewise, the polarity of the currents is not
yet considered under topology aspects.
At the lower voltage side, the side S2 has two measuring locations because of its
branch point to the auxiliaries system circuit: M3 and M4. The sum of these currents
flows into the terminals of the lower voltage side (S2) of the main protected object.
The four measuring locations M1 to M4 are assigned to the sides of the main protected
object, i.e. they are assigned measuring locations. They are the basis for the measured value processing of three-phase currents for the differential protection. The same
applies basically to single-phase transformers, except that in this case only two phases of the measuring currents from the measuring locations are connected.
The measuring location M5 is not assigned to the main protected object but to the
cable feeder, which is not related in any way to the transformer. This means that M5
is not assigned. The currents provided by this measuring location can be used for other protection functions, e.g. can form an overcurrent protection of the cable feeder.
In three-phase busbar protection, there is no distinction between measuring locations
and sides; both are equivalent to busbar feeders.

The auxiliary measuring location X3 provides the transformer starpoint current. It is assigned to side 1 of the main protected object as an assigned measuring location. This
measuring location can be used by the differential protection function for the formation
of the differential current. For restricted earth fault protection operating at the higher
voltage winding, it can supply the starpoint current of side 1.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.1 General

The auxiliary measuring location X4 is not assigned to the main protected object because the differential protection does not need it. It is a non-assigned measuring location which is used to detect the tank earth fault current and to feed it via the singlephase measuring input IX4 to the single-phase overcurrent protection used for tank
leakage protection. Although tank leakage protection is in a general sense part of the
transformer protection, X4 is not assigned to the main protection function because
single-phase overcurrent protection is an autonomous protection function without any
relation to a specific side.
Figure 2-2 shows an example of a topology which has in addition to the main protected
object (the three-winding transformer) another protected object (the neutral reactor)
with a three-phase measuring location and a 1-phase auxiliary measuring location assigned to it. Whilst in the main protected object one side can be fed by multiple measuring locations (this is the case for the higher voltage side S1 of the transformer, which
is fed by M1 and M2), no sides are defined for the further protected object. Nevertheless other protection functions (not the differential protection) can act on it, such as the
overcurrent protection (3-phase on M5), the earth overcurrent protection (1-phase on
X4), or the restricted earth fault protection, which compares the triple of the zero sequence current from M5 with the earth current at X4.

Determining the
Topology

You have to determine the topology of the main protected object and further objects
(if applicable). The following clarifications are based on the examples given above and
the terminology defined above. Further examples will be given where needed. The
necessary and possible settings depend on the type of main protected object as defined during configuration according to Subsection 2.1.1.
Measuring locations for a single-phase power transformer are treated like 3-phase
measuring locations: From the point of view of measured value conditioning, the single-phase transformer is handled as a three-phase transformer with missing phase L2.
Note:
If you will have changed the protected object according to Subsection 2.1.1, you will
have to check and re-adjust all topological data.
Note:
When configuring the topology proceed exactly in the order given below. Some of the
following settings and setting possibilities depend on settings performed before. In
DIGSI you can edit the setting sheets from the left tab to the right.
At first, number the sides of the main protected object consecutively, next number the
measuring locations, beginning with those for the main object, then for the remaining.
In the example (Figure 2-1), there are 2 sides S1 and S2, the 5 measuring locations
are M1 to M5.
The following sequence of sides is advised:
For power transformers, start with the higher voltage side, as well for generator/
transformer units or motor/transformer units.
For auto-transformers, the auto-connected winding must be declared as side 1 and
side 2, further taps shall follow (if applicable), then a delta winding (if applicable).
side 5 is not permitted here.
For generators, start with the terminal side.
For motors and shunt reactors, start with the current supply side.
For series reactors, lines, and busbars, there is no preferred side.
Side determination plays an important role for the of all following settings.
Proceed numbering the measuring locations, beginning with those which are assigned
to the main protected object. Take the order of side numbering, next the non-assigned
measuring locations (if used). Refer also to Figure 2-1.
Proceed numbering the auxiliary measuring locations (1-phase), again in the order:
assigned locations and then further (if used).
Note:
The determination of the sides and measuring locations is imperative for all further
setting steps. It is also important that the currents from the measuring locations (current transformers) are connected to the associated analog current inputs of the device: The currents from M1 must be fed to the current inputs IL1M1, IL2M1, IL3M1, etc.
(IL2M1 is omitted for single-phase power transformers)!

Global Data for
3-Phase Measuring
Locations

Determine the total number of 3-phase current measuring locations (= connected current transformer sets) which are connected to the device. Enter this number in address
 1R&RQQ0HDV/RF. 7UT613 and 7UT633 allow a maximum number of 3,
7UT635 a maximum of 5 measuring locations. The examples in Figures 2-1 and 2-2
contain  measuring locations each.
The number of 3-phase measuring locations assigned to the main protected object are
set in address  1R$VVLJ0HDV/RF. Of course, this number cannot be higher than
that of address . The difference 1R&RQQ0HDV/RF 1R$VVLJ0HDV/RF is the
number of non-assigned measuring locations. Both examples in the figures 2-1 and 22 show  assigned 3-phase measuring locations M1 to M4 of a total of 5 measuring
locations. M5 is a non-assigned measuring location.
The number of sides associated with the main protected object is set in address 
180%(52)6,'(6. In the example of Figure 2-1, the main protected object is a power transformer with 2 windings; the number of sides is , namely S1 and S2. In the
example of Figure 2-2, the main protected object is a power transformer with 3 windings; the number of sides is . In case of an auto-transformer, a maximum of 4 sides
is permissible (see below).
Of course, the number of sides can be equal to the number of measuring locations (but
never greater). The example in Figure 2-3 shows a three-winding power transformer
with one set of current transformers at each side. In this example: 1R$VVLJ0HDV/RF
=  and 180%(52)6,'(6 = .
No distinction between sides and measuring locations is made in case of a busbar.
Both correspond to the feeders. Therefore, address  is missing if the protected object is a SK%XVEDU (address  35272%-(&7).

Special Considerations on AutoTransformers

As mentioned above, the auto-connected windings on auto-transformers must always


be defined as side 1 and side 2. A third side may be present if the compensation winding is dimensioned as power winding (tertiary winding) and accessible. Figure 2-4
shows an example with  sides and  assigned measuring locations.

A further tap of the winding can also be used as the third side. Be aware that the numbering sequence always starts with the auto-connected winding: full winding, taps, and
then accessible delta winding if required.
Auto-Transformer
Banks

If three single-phase auto-transformers are arranged as a power transformer bank the


connections of the starpoint leads are accessible and often provided with current
transformers. Two possibilities exist for this power transformer arrangement:
Differential protection over the entire power transformer bank (Figure 2-5):
Firstly, you can build up a normal transformer differential protection system over the
entire transformer bank. Figure 2-5 shows an illustration where a phase-discriminative
diagram is used in order to clarify the different currents. In this example we have 
sides and  assigned 3-phase measuring locations: The auto-connected winding terminals form the sides S1 (full winding) and S2 (tap) with the assigned 3-phase measuring locations M1 and M2. Of course, you can connect the sum of the three currents
measured in the starpoint leads to an auxiliary 1-phase current input of the device (illustrated dotted) in order to use it for time overcurrent protection. The accessible and
power-capable compensation winding is defined as Side S3.

Current comparison protection over each individual winding (Figure 2-6):


Alternatively, you can build up a current comparison protection over each of the three
windings of the auto-transformer bank (Figure 2-6). Besides the auto-connected winding terminals of the sides S1 (full winding) and S2 (tap) with the assigned 3-phase
measuring locations M1 and M2, one more side S3 is defined at the starpoint terminals
with the 3-phase measuring location M3. In this way, a current comparison protection
can be realized over each of the three transformer windings, i.e. each phase.
Such a current comparison is more sensitive concerning 1-phase earth faults in one
of the transformers. This has a certain importance considering that 1-phase earth
faults are the most probable faults in such banks.
On the other hand, the compensation winding cannot and must not be included into
this protection even if it is accessible and equipped with current transformers. This application variant is based on the current law in that all currents flowing in to a winding
must total to zero.
The further current transformer X1 in Figure 2-6 is not necessary. In order to realize a
time overcurrent protection for earth faults in this arrangement, you can feed the sum
of the three currents measured at M3 to a auxiliary 1-phase current input of the device.

three-phase protection via external summation transformers, you set the number of
feeders of the busbar in address  180%(52)(1'6. The minimum number is .
(With less feeders it would not make sense to use the 7UT613.)
The maximum number of feeders is  with 7UT613 and 7UT633,  with 7UT635. If
interposed summation transformers with IN = 0.1 A are used, the maximum number is
 with 7UT613 and 7UT633.

Assignment of
3-phase Measuring
Locations

After determination of the global data, the 3-phase measuring locations must be assigned to the sides of the main protected object. Only few meaningful combinations
are possible for this assignment because of the condition that always 180%(52)

addresses of the following lists are requested which correspond to the global settings
of addresses , , and . Furthermore, only meaningful setting options appear.

2.1 General

If the global data are implausible, the device does not find any meaningful combination
of assignment possibilities. In this case you will find address  $66,*10(5525
which shows one of the following options:
1R$VVLJ0HDV/RF the number of assigned measuring locations is implausible;
1RRIVLGHV

the number of sides is implausible.

This parameter cannot be changed. It merely informs you about the implausibility of
the global settings. If it appears recheck carefully the addresses , , and 
and correct the settings.
There seems to be a large variety of assignment parameters. But, in the actual case,
only one address will be visible: the address which corresponds to the above mentioned number of sides and assigned measuring locations. The measuring location
and side are separated by a comma, e.g. 06 means 3 assigned measuring locations at 2 sides.
Only the combinations possible for the number of measuring locations and sides appear as setting options. The measuring locations of the same side are connected by
a + sign; the side sequence by a comma. In the following, all possibilities are explained.
Address  $66,*1006 appears if you have stated 2 assigned measuring locations (address ) at 2 sides (address ). Only one option is possible:
00, i.e. the 2 measuring locations are assigned: M1 to side S1, M2 to side S2.
Since no other possibilities exist there are no further options.
Address  $66,*1006 appears if you have stated 3 assigned measuring locations (address ) at 2 sides (address ). The following options are possible:
000, i.e. the 3 measuring locations are assigned: M1 and M2 to side S1, M3
to side S2.
000, i.e. the 3 measuring locations are assigned: M1 to side S1, M2 and M3

Address  $66,*1006 appears if you have stated 3 assigned measuring locations (address ) at 3 sides (address ). Only one option is possible:
000, i.e. the 3 measuring locations are assigned: M1 to side S1, M2 to side
S2, M3 to side S3. This corresponds to the examples in Figures 2-3, 2-5, and 2-6.
The further assignment possibilities can only occur in 7UT635 since 7UT613 and
7UT633 provide a maximum of 3 three-phase current inputs (cf. Table 2-1).
Address  $66,*1006 appears if you have stated 4 assigned measuring locations (address ) at 2 sides (address ). The following options are possible:
0000, i.e. the 4 measuring locations are assigned: M1 and M2 to side S1,
M3 and M4 to side S2. This corresponds to the example in Figure 2-1 (M5 is not
assigned there).
0000, i.e. the 4 measuring locations are assigned: M1 and M2 and M3 to

Assignment of the
Sides with AutoTransformers

If auto-transformers are protected the additional question arises how the sides of the
protected object are to be handled by the main protection function, the differential protection. As mentioned above (margin heading Special Considerations on Auto-Transformers), various possibilities exist how the sides of the auto-transformer are defined.
Further information is necessary in order to achieve an exact replica of the auto-transformer. The following addresses appear only in case the main protected object is an
auto-transformer (address  35272%-(&7 = $XWRWUDQVI according to Subsection 2.1.1).
Address  6,'( must be assigned to an DXWRFRQQHFWHG winding (primary tap
as recommended above). This is imperative and, therefore, cannot be changed.
Address  6,'( of the auto-transformer must equally be assigned to an DXWR
FRQQHFWHG (secondary tap as recommended above). This is imperative and, therefore, cannot be changed.
For the sides 3 and 4, alternatives exist. If the auto-transformer provides another tap
the side thereof is declared as DXWRFRQQHFWHG.
Regarding Figure 2-5, side 3 is a tertiary winding meaning an accessible and loadcapable compensation winding. In this example the setting would be:
Address  6,'( = FRPSHQVDWLRQ winding (= tertiary winding).
In the example of Figure 2-6, side S3 is facing the earthing electrode of the transformer
starpoint. Here:
Address  6,'( = HDUWKHOHFWURGH.
In summary we can say: the sides S1 and S2 are imperatively assigned to the connections of the auto-connected winding. For 6,'( and 6,'( you have to select the
option corresponding to the topology: DXWRFRQQHFWHG (for another tap of the autoconnected winding), FRPSHQVDWLRQ (for an accessible and load-capable compensation winding) or HDUWKHOHFWURGH (for the earthed side of the auto-connected windings).
Note:
If you have chosen the option HDUWKHOHFWURGH for either side, the differential protection will automatically perform a current comparison over each of the 3 windings.
This is especially sensitive concerning 1-phase earth faults in one of the windings. But
the compensation winding cannot and must not be included into this protection even
if it is accessible and equipped with current transformers.

Assignment of
Auxiliary 1-phase
Measuring Locations

Each of the possible auxiliary (1-phase) current inputs must now be assigned in the
addresses  to . The number of auxiliary inputs depends on the device type (cf.
Table 2-1). In the 7UT635, the inputs IX1 to IX3 are only available as auxiliary 1-phase
measuring inputs if they are not needed for a fifth 3-phase measuring location, i.e. if
only four (or less) 3-phase measuring locations are needed.
The auxiliary inputs can be assigned to a side or a measuring location, or they can
remain non-assigned. If you have assigned exactly one measuring location to a side,
this side is equivalent to the measuring location.
Single-phase auxiliary measured currents are used in the following cases:
1. In differential protection, to include the starpoint current of an earthed transformer
winding (either directly or via a neutral earthing reactor in the protected zone);
2. In restricted earth fault protection, to compare the starpoint current of an earthed
winding (transformer, generator, motor, shunt reactor, neutral earthing reactor)
with the zero sequence current from the phase currents;
3. In earth fault overcurrent protection, to detect the earth fault current of an earthed
winding or neutral earthing reactor;
4. In single-phase overcurrent protection, to detect any 1-phase current;
5. For operational limit monitoring tasks and/or display of measured values.
1st case: It is essential to assign the 1-phase input to that side of the main protected
object whose incoming phase currents are to be compared with the earth fault current. Make sure that you assign the 1-phase input to the correct side. In the case of
transformers, this can only be a side with an earthed starpoint (directly or via a neutral earthing reactor in the protected zone).
In the example shown in Figure 2-1, the auxiliary measuring location X3 must be
assigned to side S1. Once the device has been informed of this assignment, the
current measured at current input IX3 will be reliably interpreted as the current flowing to the starpoint of the higher voltage winding (side 1).
2nd case: For this case, the same considerations apply as for the 1st case. In the case
of generators, motors or shunt reactors, select the terminal side. You can also use
in the 2nd case a measuring location that is not assigned to the main protected object. In the example shown in Figure 2-2, you can use the restricted earth fault protection for the neutral reactor: The auxiliary measuring location X4 is in this case
assigned to the measuring location M5. This informs the device that the measured
values of the non-assigned measuring location M5 (3-phase) must be compared
with the measured value of the auxiliary measuring location X4 (1-phase).
3rd case: Here again, the auxiliary measuring location must be assigned to that side
whose earth fault current is to be processed. You can also use a measuring location
that is not assigned to the main protected object. Please note that this auxiliary
measuring location will provide not only the measured value for the earth fault overcurrent protection but also circuit breaker information (current flow and manualclose detection) from the corresponding 3-phase measuring location.
If the current used by the earth fault overcurrent protection is not to be assigned to
a specific side or 3-phase measuring location you can either proceed as described
in the 4th and 5th case.
4th and 5th case: In these cases you set the parameter for the assignment of the auxiliary measuring location to FRQQQRWDVVLJ (connected but not assigned). The
auxiliary measuring location is then assigned to neither a specific side of the main

32

2.1 General

protected object nor to any other 3-phase measuring location. These protection and
measuring functions do not need any information on their assignment to a 3-phase
measuring location because they process exclusively the corresponding 1-phase
current.
General advice: If you want to use a 1-phase auxiliary measuring location both for a
function as per the 3rd to 5th case and for the 1st or 2nd case, you must assign it
as described in the 1st and 2nd case.
If the device is equipped with a 1-phase measuring input but you do not need it, leave
the setting 1RWFRQQHFWHG unchanged.
Of the addresses described in the following paragraphs, only those available in your
device will be displayed. Please keep in mind
that in the 7UT613 and 7UT633 only the auxiliary inputs IX1 to IX3 are available,
and that they can be assigned to not more than 3 sides or 3-phase measuring locations;
that in the 7UT635 the auxiliary inputs IX1 to IX3 cannot be assigned to the measuring location M5, since in this device either M5 or IX1 to IX3 are available.

High-Sensitivity
Auxiliary 1-phase
Measuring Locations

Depending on the version, the devices of the 7UT6 family are equipped with 1 or 2
further high-sensitivity measuring inputs which can detect currents as low as 3 mA
present at the input. These inputs can be used for single-phase overcurrent protection.
The single-phase definite time overcurrent protection is suited e.g. for high-sensitivity
tank leakage protection (cf. Subsection 2.7.3), or for a high-impedance unit protection
(cf. Subsection 2.7.2) where a high-sensitivity measuring input is used.
If you want to use such a high-sensitivity current measuring input, you can specify this
to the device at the addresses  and .
In 7UT613 and 7UT633, input IX3 can be used as a high-sensitivity input. Set address
 $8;&7,;7<3( to VHQVLWLYLQSXW if you want to use IX3 as a high-sensitivity input; otherwise leave the setting $$LQSXW unchanged.
In 7UT635, input IX3 can be used as a high-sensitivity input, provided that it is not
used for a 5th three-phase measuring location, i.e. that only 4 three-phase measuring
locations are needed. In this case you set address  $8;&7,;7<3( to VHQ
VLWLYLQSXW if you want to use IX3 as a high-sensitivity input.
Input IX4 is always available as a single-phase input in the 7UT635; it can be set at
address  $8;&7,;7<3( to VHQVLWLYLQSXW or $$LQSXW.

Assignment of
Voltage Measuring
Inputs

The 7UT613 and 7UT633 (not the 7UT635) can be provided with voltage measuring
inputs (cf. Table 2-1). The 3-phase set of voltage inputs and the 4th voltage input can
each be assigned to one side or one measuring location, or to the busbar voltage (for
busbar protection).
Figure 2-7 shows the various possible voltage assignments (which, of course cannot
occur all at the same time in practice). Address  must be set 976(7.
For voltage measurement at Ua the voltages are measured on 6LGH of the main
protected object.
For voltage measurement at Ub the voltages are measured at 0HDVXULQJORF
which is assigned to side 1 of the main protected object.
For voltage measurement at Uc the voltages are measured at the %XVEDU (only
possible in busbar protection).
For voltage measurement at Ud the voltages are measured at 0HDVXULQJORF
which is not assigned to the main protected object.
For voltage measurement at Ue the voltages are measured on 6LGH of the main
protected object.
As these examples show, you can select sides, busbars, assigned or non-assigned
measuring locations. In 1-phase busbar protection, voltages can only be measured on
the %XVEDU.

2.1 General

In practice, the voltage assignment depends therefore on the voltages which the device is intended to receive and process. Of course, voltage transformers must be installed at the appropriate locations and connected to the device.
If the voltage transformers represented as Ua do not exist in your system, you can, for
instance, use the voltages at 0HDVXULQJORF (represented as Ub), as they are
electrically identical (assuming that the circuit breaker is closed). The device then assigns the voltage automatically to side 1 and calculates the power of the side from this
voltage and the current of side S1, which is the sum of the currents from the measuring
locations M1 and M2.
If no voltages are connected, set 1RWFRQQHFWHG.
If the overexcitation protection is used, you must choose (and connect) a voltage that
is suitable for overexcitation protection. For transformers it must be a non-regulated
side, since a proportional relationship between the quotient U/f and the iron core induction B is found only there. If in Figure 2-7, for instance, the winding on side 1 is
provided with a voltage controller, your must select 6LGH.
If you do not use the overexcitation protection, you select the voltages which you want
to display or transfer as operational measured values during operation, or on the basis
of which you want to calculate the power.
For the 1-phase voltage measurement input U4, you can select likewise at address
 978 a side or measuring location regardless of the assignment of the 3phase voltage inputs. This measuring input is frequently used for the displacement
voltage, measured at the e-n windings of the voltage transformer set, but you can also
use it for detection of any other measured voltage. In this case, set 978 to FRQQ
QRWDVVLJ. If no voltage is needed at the 1-phase voltage input, set 1RWFRQ
QHFWHG.
As different connections are possible, you must now specify to the device how the connected 1-phase voltage should be interpreted. This is done at address  978
7<3(. Set 8GHOWDWUDQVI if the voltage assigned acc. to address  is a displacement voltage. It can also be any phase-to-earth voltage (e.g. 8/(WUDQV
IRUP), or a phase-to-phase voltage (e.g. 8/WUDQVIRUP). If U4 is connected to
a voltage which is assigned to no side or measuring location, set 8[WUDQVIRUPHU.

General Power System Data (Power System Data 1)

General

The device requires some plant and power system data in order to be able to adapt its
functions accordingly, dependent on the actual application. The data required include
for instance rated data of the substation and the measuring transformers, polarity and
connection of the measured quantities, if necessary features of the circuit breakers,
and others. Furthermore, there is a number of settings associated with several functions rather than a specific protection, control or monitoring function. These data can
only be changed from a PC running DIGSI and are discussed in this Subsection.

Rated Frequency

The rated frequency of the power system is set under address  5DWHG)UHTXHQ
F\. The available rated frequencies are +], +], or +].

Phase Sequence

Address  3+$6(6(4 is used to establish the phase sequence. The preset

Temperature Unit

The temperature of the hot-spot temperature calculation can be expressed in degrees


&HOVLXV or )DKUHQKHLW. If overload protection with hot-spot temperature is used,
set the desired temperature unit in address  7(0381,7. Otherwise this setting
can be ignored. Changing temperature units does not mean that setting values which
are linked to these temperature units will automatically be converted. They have to be
re-entered into their corresponding addresses.

Object Data with


Transformers

Transformer data are required if the device is used as differential protection for transformers, i.e. if the following was set with the configuration of the protection functions
(Subsection 2.1.1, margin heading Special Cases): 35272%-(&7 (address )
SKDVHWUDQVI or $XWRWUDQVI or SKDVHWUDQVI. In cases other than
that, these settings are not available.
Please observe the definition of the sides which you have performed during setting of
the topology of the main protected object, as above-mentioned (Subsection 2.1.2,
margin heading Determining the Topology and subsequent margins). Generally,
side 1 is the reference winding having a current phase angle of 0 and no vector group
indicator. Usually this is the higher voltage winding of the transformer.
The object data is information about each of the sides of the protected object as defined in topology statements in Subsection 2.1.2. Object data of sides which are not
assigned in the topology are not requested in the following. They will be entered at a
later date (margin Object Data for Further Protected Objects).

The device needs the following information on Side 1:


The primary rated voltage UN in kV (phase-to-phase) under address  8135,
6,'(.
The primary rated apparent power of the winding 616,'( under address .
Note that the power ratings of the windings of power transformers with more than 2
windings may differ. Here, the rating of the winding assigned to side 1 is decisive.
The power must always be entered as a primary value, even if the device is generally configured in secondary values. The device calculates the rated current of the
protected winding from this power.
The starpoint condition under address  67$53176,'(: 6ROLG(DUWKHG
or ,VRODWHG. If the starpoint is earthed via a current-limiting equipment (e.g. lowresistive) or via a Petersen-coil (high-reactive, resonant), or via a surge arrester, set
6ROLG(DUWKHG, too. The starpoint is treated as 6ROLG(DUWKHG either if a starpoint former (neutral earthing reactor) is installed within the protected zone of the
winding.
The mode of interconnection of the transformer windings under address  &21
1(&7,216. If side 1 is that of the higher voltage side of the transformer, this is
normally the capital letter of the vector group according to IEC: < or '. For autotransformers and single-phase transformers, only < is permitted.
If the transformer winding is regulated then the actual rated voltage of the side is not
used as UN but rather the voltage which corresponds to the average current of the regulated range. The following applies:
U max U min
2
U N = 2 -------------------------------- = -------------------------------1

U max + U min
------------- + -----------U max U min
where Umax, Umin are the voltages at the limits of the regulated range.
Calculation example:

This results for the regulated winding (110 kV) in:

The primary rated apparent power 616,'( under address  is that of the side

windings may differ. The power must always be entered as a primary value, even if
the device is generally configured in secondary values. The device calculates the rated current of the protected side from this power.
The mode of connection (address  &211(&7,216) and the vector group numeral (address  9(&725*536) must match the transformer data of the transformer windings at side 2. The vector group numeral states the phase displacement
of side 2 against the reference winding, side 1. It is defined according to IEC as the
multiple of 30. If the higher voltage side is the reference (side 1), you may take the
data directly from the vector group designation. For instance, for a transformer Yd5 is
 &211(&7,216 = ' and  9(&725*536 = . Every vector group from 0
to 11 can be set provided it is possible (for instance, Yy, Dd and Dz allow only even,
Yd, Yz and Dy allow only odd numerals). For the auto-connected winding of autotransformers and for single-phase transformers, only <  is permissible.
If not the higher voltage side is used as reference winding (side 1) it must be considered that the vector group changes: e.g. a Yd5 transformer is regarded from the lower
voltage side as Dy7 (Figure 2-9).

If the power transformer includes more than 2 windings or assigned sides, similar considerations apply for the further windings (Side 4 and 5 only with 7UT635). If you have
declared the starpoint connections of an auto-transformer bank as a separate side in
order to establish a current comparison protection for each of the windings (refer also

For the winding assigned to Side 4 (if applicable), the following data are relevant:
Address  8135,6,'( the primary rated voltage (consider regulating range),
Address  616,'( the primary rated apparent power,
Address  67$53176,'( the starpoint conditioning,
Address  &211(&7,216 the winding connection mode,
Address  9(&725*536 the vector group numeral.
For the winding assigned to Side 5 (if applicable), the following data are relevant:
Address  8135,6,'( the primary rated voltage (consider regulating range),
Address  616,'( the primary rated apparent power,
Address  67$53176,'( the starpoint conditioning,
Address  &211(&7,216 the winding connection mode,
Address  9(&725*536 the vector group numeral.
The device automatically computes from the these data of the protected transformer
and its windings the current-matching formulae which are required to match the vector
group and the different rated winding currents. The currents are converted such that
the sensitivity of the protection always refers to the power rating of the transformer;
this is the maximum of the winding ratings. No circuity is required for matching of the
vector group and no manual calculations for converting of rated current are normally
necessary.
Object Data with
Generators, Motors
or Reactors

Using the 7UT6 for protection of generators or motors, the following must have been
set when configuring the scope of functions (see Subsection 2.1.1, address ):
35272%-(&7 = *HQHUDWRU0RWRU. These settings also apply for series and
shunt reactors if a complete set of current transformers is connected to both sides. In
cases other than that, these settings are not available.
With address  81*(102725 you inform the device of the primary rated voltage
(phase-to-phase) of the machine to be protected.
The primary rated power 61*(102725 (address ) is the direct primary rated
apparent power of the machine. The power must always be entered as a primary
value, even if the device is generally configured in secondary values. The device calculates the rated current of the protected object and its sides from this power and the
rated voltage. This is the reference for all referred values.

Object Data with


Mini-Busbars or
Short Lines
(3-phase)

These data are only required if the device is used for differential protection of mini-busbars or short lines. When configuring the scope of functions (see Subsection 2.1.1, address ) the following must have been set: 35272%-(&7 = SK%XVEDU. In cases other than that, these settings are not available.
With address  81%86%$5 you inform the device of the primary rated voltage
(phase-to-phase). This setting is important for voltage-dependent protection functions
(such as overexcitation protection). It also influences the display of the operational
measured values.
The feeders of a busbar may be rated for different currents. For instance, an overhead
line may be able to carry higher load than a cable feeder or a transformer feeder. You
can define a primary rated current for each side (= feeder) of the protected object.
These ratings may differ from the rated currents of the associated current transformers
which latter will be entered at a later stage (current transformer data). Figure 2-10
shows an example for a busbar with 3 feeders.

Rated current of the sides of a busbar with 3 feeders

Additionally, a rated current for the entire busbar can be determined. The currents of
all measuring locations assigned to the main object are converted such that the values
of the differential protection are referred to this nominal current of the main protected
object, here the busbar. If the current rating of the busbar is known, set this rated current in address  ,35,0$5<23%%. If no rated current of the busbar is defined
you should select the highest of the rated currents of the sides (= feeders). In Figure
2-10, the nominal object current would be 1000 A.
The object data concern only data of the protected main object as defined in the topology according to Subsection 2.1.2. No data of the sides which are not assigned are
requested here. Such data are entered at a later stage (margin header Object Data
for Further Protected Objects).
Under Address  ,35,0$5<236, set the rated primary current of the feeder
1. As mentioned above, the sides and the assigned measurement locations are identical for busbars.
The same considerations apply for the further sides:
address  ,35,0$5<236 for side (feeder) 2,
address  ,35,0$5<236 for side (feeder) 3,
address  ,35,0$5<236 for side (feeder) 4,
address  ,35,0$5<236 for side (feeder) 5.
Addresses  and  are omitted in 7UT613 and 7UT633 since these versions allow only for 3 sides.
Object Data with
Busbars (1-phase
Connection) with
up to 6 or 9 or 12
Feeders

These busbar data are only required if the device is used for single-phase busbar differential protection. When configuring the protection functions (see Subsection 2.1.1,
address ) following must have been set: 35272%-(&7 = SK%XVEDU. In cases
other than that, these settings are not available. 7UT613 and 7UT633 allow up to 9,
7UT635 up to 12 feeders. If interposed summation transformers with 0.1 A rated output are used, 7UT613 and 7UT633 allow 6 feeders.
With address  81%86%$5 you inform the device of the primary rated voltage
(phase-to-phase). This setting has no effect on the protective functions but influences
the displays of the operational measured values.
The feeders of a busbar may be rated for different currents. For instance, an overhead
line may be able to carry higher load than a cable feeder or a transformer feeder. You
can define a rated current for each feeder of the protected object. These ratings may

40

2.1 General

differ from the rated currents of the associated current transformers which latter will be
entered at a later stage (current transformer data). Figure 2-10 shows an example of
a busbar with 3 feeders.
Additionally, a rated current for the entire busbar can be determined. The currents of
all measuring locations assigned to the main object are converted such that the values
of the differential protection are referred to this nominal current of the main protected
object, here the busbar. If the current rating of the busbar is known, set this rated current in address  ,35,0$5<23. If no rated current of the busbar is defined you
should select the highest of the rated currents of the sides (= feeders). In Figure 2-10,
the nominal object current would be 1000 A.
Under Address  ,35,0$5<23, set the rated primary current of feeder 1.
The same considerations apply for the further feeders:
address  ,35,0$5<23 for feeder 2,
address  ,35,0$5<23 for feeder 3,
address  ,35,0$5<23 for feeder 4,
address  ,35,0$5<23 for feeder 5,
address  ,35,0$5<23 for feeder 6,
address  ,35,0$5<23 for feeder 7,
address  ,35,0$5<23 for feeder 8,
address  ,35,0$5<23 for feeder 9,
address  ,35,0$5<23 for feeder 10,
address  ,35,0$5<23 for feeder 11,
address  ,35,0$5<23 for feeder 12.
Addresses  to  are omitted in 7UT613 and 7UT633 with summation transformers or  to  otherwise since these versions allow only for 6 or 9 feeders.
If one 7UT6 is used per phase, set the same rated current and voltage of a feeder for
all three devices. For the identification of the phases for fault annunciations and measured values each device is to be informed on the phase it is assigned to. This is to be
set in address 3+$6(6(/(&7,21, address .
Object Data for
Further Protected
Objects

The object data described in the previous paragraphs relate to the main protected object whose sides and measuring locations have been assigned according to Subsection 2.1.2. If you have defined further protected objects in your topology, a number of
non-assigned measuring locations will be left. The rated values of these are requested
now.
The considerations concerning rated voltages and current are the same as for the
main protected object. Only those of the following addresses will appear during setting
which relate to the non-assigned measuring locations, according to the set topology.
Since the main protected object provides at least 2 measuring locations (differential
protection would make no sense with fewer), M1 and M2 will never appear here.
Address  ,35,0$5<230 requests the nominal primary operating current at
the measuring location M3 provided this is not assigned to the main protected object.
Address  ,35,0$5<230 requests the nominal primary operating current at
the measuring location M4 provided this is not assigned to the main protected object.
Address  ,35,0$5<230 requests the nominal primary operating current at
the measuring location M5 provided this is not assigned to the main protected object.
Addresses  and  cannot appear in 7UT613 and 7UT633 since these versions
allow only 3 measuring locations.

2 Functions

Voltage data have only a meaning in 7UT613 or 7UT633 if the device is equipped with
voltage inputs. In case the 3-phase voltage inputs relate to the main protected object
the nominal voltages have already been set. But, if 3-phase voltage measurement is
intended at a measuring location which is not assigned to the main protected object,
e.g. in address  976(7 a non-assigned 0HDVXULQJORF is selected, then you
have to enter the nominal voltage of this measuring location in address  8135,
0. This is a precondition for correct display and transmission of measured values
(voltages, powers). Similar considerations apply for address  8135,8.
Current Transformer Data for
3-phase Measuring
Locations

The rated primary operational currents for the protected object and its sides derive
from the object data before-described. The data of the current transformer sets at the
sides of the protected object generally differ slightly from the object data before-described. They can also be completely different. Currents have to have a clear polarity
to ensure correct function of the differential protection and restricted earth fault protection as well as for correct display of operational measure values.
Therefore the device must be informed about the current transformer data. For 3phase protected objects, this is done by entering rated currents and the secondary
starpoint position of the current transformer sets.
In address  ,135,&70 the rated primary current of the current transformer
set of measuring location M1 is set, In address  ,16(&&70 the rated secondary current. Please make sure that the sides were defined correctly (see Subsection
2.1.2, margin heading Assignment of 3-phase Measuring Locations, page 28).
Please also make sure that the rated secondary transformer currents match the setting for the rated currents of the device (see also Subsection 3.1.3.3, margin heading
Input/Output Board C-I/O-2 (7UT613 or 7UT633), Input/Output Board C-I/O-9 (All
Versions), and Input/Output Board C-I/O-9 (7UT635 only). Otherwise the device will
calculate incorrect primary data, and malfunction of the differential protection may occur.
Indication of the starpoint position of the current transformers determines the polarity
of the currents. To inform the device of the starpoint position in relation to the measuring location 1, use address  675317!2%-0 (starpoint versus object at
measuring location M1. Figure 2-11 shows some examples for this setting.
Similar applies for the further measuring locations (assigned or non-assigned to the
main protected object). Only those addresses will appear during setting which are
available in the actual device version.

If the device is applied as transverse differential protection for generators or motors,


special considerations must be observed for the CT connections: In a healthy operational state all currents flow into the protected object, i.e. in contrast to the other applications. Therefore you have to set a wrong polarity for one of the current transformer
sets. The part windings of the machine windings correspond to the sides.
Figure 2-12 gives you an example: Although the starpoints of both current transformer
sets are looking towards the protected object, the opposite setting is to be selected for
side 2: 675317!2%-0 = 12.

Definition of current direction for transverse differential protection - example

The operational nominal currents of each feeder already have been set under margin
heading Object Data with Busbars (1-phase Connection) with up to 6 or 9 or 12
Feeders (page 40). The feeder currents are referred to these nominal feeder currents.
But, the rated currents of the current transformers may differ from the nominal feeder
currents. Therefore, the device must be informed about the current transformer data,
too. In Figure 2-13 the rated CT currents are 1000 A (Feeder 1), 500 A (Feeder 2 and
3).
If rated currents have already been matched by external equipment (e.g. by matching
transformers), the rated current value, used as a base value for the calculation of the
external matching transformers, is to be indicated uniform. Normally, it is the rated operational current. The same applies if external summation transformers are used.
Indicate the rated primary transformer current for each feeder. The interrogation only
applies to data of the number of feeders determined during the configuration according to 2.1.2 under margin Global Data for 1-phase Busbar Protection (address 
180%(52)(1'6).
For rated secondary currents please make sure that rated secondary transformer currents match with the rated currents of the corresponding current input of the device.
Rated secondary currents of a device can be matched according to 3.1.3.3 (see margin heading Input/Output Board C-I/O-2 (7UT613 or 7UT633), Input/Output Board
C-I/O-9 (All Versions), and Input/Output Board C-I/O-9 (7UT635 only)). If summation transformers are used, the rated current at the outgoing side is usually 100 mA.
For rated secondary currents a value of  A is therefore set for all feeders.

Indication of the starpoint position of the current transformers determines the polarity
of the current transformers. Set for each feeder if the starpoint is looking towards the
busbar or not. Figure 2-13 shows an example of 3 feeders in which the transformer
starpoint in feeder 1 and feeder 3 are looking towards the busbar, unlike feeder 2.
If external interposed transformers are used, it is presumed that these are connected
with correct polarity.

Current Transformer Data for
1-phase Auxiliary
Current Inputs

The number of 1-phase auxiliary current inputs depends on the device version, see
also Table 2-1. Such inputs are used for detection of the starpoint current of an
earthed winding of a transformer, generator, or motor, shunt reactor, or neutral reactor, or for different 1-phase measuring purposes. The assignment has already been
carried out according Subsection 2.1.2 under margin Assignment of Auxiliary 1-phase
Measuring Locations, page 32), the assignment of the protection functions will be
done in Subsection 2.1.4. These settings here concern exclusively the current transformer data regardless whether or not they belong to the main protected object.
The device requests also the polarity and rated currents of these 1-phase CTs. The
clarifications below comprise all possible settings, in the actual case only those addresses will appear which are available in the actual version and defined in the topology.
Enter the primary rated current of each auxiliary 1-phase current transformer which is
connected and assigned to an auxiliary 1-phase current input of the device. Consider
the correct assignment of the measuring locations (Subsection 2.1.2 under Assignment of Auxiliary 1-phase Measuring Locations, page 32).
Distinction must be made for the secondary rated currents whether the 1-phase current input is a normal input or a highly sensitive input of the device:
If a normal input is concerned, set the secondary current in the same way as for the
3-phase current inputs. Please make sure that the rated secondary CT current matches with the rated current of the corresponding current input of the device. Rated secondary currents of a device can be matched according to 3.1.3.3 (see margin heading
Input/Output Board C-I/O-2 (7UT613 or 7UT633), Input/Output Board C-I/O-9 (All
Versions), and Input/Output Board C-I/O-9 (7UT635 only)).
If a high-sensitivity current input is used, no rated secondary current is defined. In
order to calculate primary values in spite of this (e.g. for setting in primary values or

46

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.1 General

for output of primary measured values), the conversion factor INprim/INsec of the current transformer connected is set.
The polarity of a 1-phase current input is important for correct function of the differential protection and the restricted earth fault protection. If only the magnitude of the current is of interest (e.g. for earth overcurrent protection or single-phase overcurrent protection) the polarity is irrelevant as it is also irrelevant for a high-sensitivity input.
For polarity information, set to which device terminal the side of the current transformer facing the earth electrode is connected, i.e. not the side facing the starpoint itself.
The secondary earthing point of the CT is of no interest. Figure 2-14 shows the alternatives using an earthed transformer winding as an example.

Assignment of Protection Functions to Measuring Locations/Sides

Main Protection
Function = Differential Protection

48

The main protected object, i.e. the protected object which has been selected at address  35272%-(&7 during the configuration of the protection function, is always defined by its sides, each of which can have one or multiple measuring locations
assigned to them (Subsection 2.1.2 under margin header Assignment of 3-phase
Measuring Locations and subsequent margins). Combined with the object and instrument transformer data according to Subsection 2.1.3, the sides define unambiguously
the way to process the currents supplied by the measuring locations (CT sets) for the
main protection function, the differential protection (Section 2.2).

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.1 General

In the example shown in Figure 2-1, the side S1 (upper voltage side of the transformer)
has the 3-phase measuring locations M1 and M2 assigned to it. This ensures that the
summated currents flowing through M1 and M2 towards the protected object are evaluated as currents flowing into the transformer side S1. Likewise, the currents flowing
through M3 and M4 towards the protected object are evaluated as currents flowing
into the transformer side S2. Where an external current flows in through M4 and out
again through M3, the sum is IM3 + IM4 = 0, i.e. no current flows into the protected object at that point. Nevertheless both currents are used for restraint of the differential
protection. For more details, please refer to the description of the differential protection
function (Subsection 2.1.1).
By the assignment of the auxiliary measuring location X3 to side S1 of the transformer,
it is defined that the 1-phase earth fault current measured at X3 flows into the starpoint
of the higher voltage winding S1 (Section 2.1.2 under margin heading Assignment of
Auxiliary 1-phase Measuring Locations).
As the topology thus provides for the differential protection a full description of the protected object with all its sides and measuring locations, no further information is required for this function. There are, however, various possibilities to enter information
for the other protection functions.
Restricted Earth
Fault Protection

Normally, the restricted earth fault protection (Section 2.3) is assigned to one side of
the main protected object, namely the side with the earthed starpoint. In the example
shown in Figure 2-1, this would be the side S1; therefore, address  5()3527
$7 would be set to 6LGH. The 3-phase measuring locations M1 and M2 have been
assigned to this side during the definition of the topology. Therefore, the sum of the
currents IM1 + IM2 is considered to be flowing into side S1 of the transformer.
By the assignment of the auxiliary measuring location X3 to side S1 of the transformer,
it is defined that the 1-phase earth fault current measured at X3 flows into the starpoint
of side S1 (Subsection 2.1.2 under margin heading Assignment of Auxiliary 1-phase
Measuring Locations).
But the restricted earth fault protection can also act upon an object other than the main
protected object. In Figure 2-2 the main protected object is a three-winding transformer with the sides S1, S2 and S3. The 3-phase measuring location M5, on the other
hand, belongs to the neutral reactor. You have now the option to use the restricted
earth fault protection for this reactor. Since for this further protection object no sides
are defined, you can assign here the restricted earth fault protection to the 3-phase
measuring location M5, which is not assigned to the main protection object: set address  5()3527$7 to QDVVLJ0HDV/RF.
By the assignment of the auxiliary measuring location X4 to the 3-phase measuring
location M5, it is defined that the 1-phase earth fault current measured at X4 belongs
to the neutral reactor connected to M5 (Subsection 2.1.2 under margin heading
Assignment of Auxiliary 1-phase Measuring Locations).

Further 3-Phase
Protection
Functions

Remember that the single-phase power transformer is treated like a three-phase power transformer (without phase L2). Therefore, the three-phase protection functions apply also for this.
The time overcurrent protection for zero-sequence current is also a three-phase protection function as it processes the sum of the three phase currents.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2 Functions

These three-phase protection functions can operate on the main protected object or
on a further protected object. The facilities depend on the topology as stated in Subsection 2.1.2.
For the main protection object, you normally choose one side for which the protection
function will be effective. If in the example shown in Figure 2-1 you want to use the
time overcurrent protection for phase currents (Section 2.4) as a backup protection on
the upper voltage side, you set address  '07,'073K$7 to 6LGH. The phase
overcurrent protection then acquires the sum of the currents flowing through the
measuring locations M1 and M2 (for each phase) towards the transformer.
You can also set the phase overcurrent protection to be effective for one single measuring location of the main protected object. If in the same example you want to use the
overcurrent protection as a protection for the auxiliaries system circuit, you set address  '07,'073K$7 to 0HDVXULQJORF.
Finally, you can also set the overcurrent protection to be effective for a further protection object, i.e. a 3-phase measuring location which is not assigned to the main protection object. To do so, you select that measuring location. In the example shown in
Figure 2-1, you can use the overcurrent protection as a protection for the cable feeder
by setting address  '07,'073K$7 to 0HDVXULQJORF.
As the above examples show, this protection function can be assigned as desired.
Generally speaking:
Where a 3-phase protection function is assigned to a measuring location, the currents are acquired at this location, regardless of whether it is assigned to the main
protected object or not.
Where a 3-phase protection function is assigned to a side (of the main protected
object), the sum of the currents flowing in at this side from the measuring locations
assigned to it is acquired (for each phase).
Consider also that the time overcurrent protection will receive from the further
measuring location assigned here not only its measured values, but also circuit
breaker information (current flow and manual-close detection).
The same is true for the assignment of the time overcurrent protection for residual currents (Section 2.4) in address  '07,'07,$7. Please keep in mind that this
protection function acquires the sum of the phase currents and is therefore considered
as a three-phase protection function. The assignment, however, can differ from the assignment used by the overcurrent protection for phase currents. This means that in the
example shown in Figure 2-1 you can easily use the overcurrent protection for phase
currents ('07,'073K$7) at the upper voltage side of the transformer (6LGH),
and the overcurrent protection for residual currents ('07,'07,$7) at the lower
voltage side (0HDVXULQJORF).
The same options exist for the unbalanced load protection (Section 2.8) (address 
81%$//2$'$7).
The overload protection (Section 2.9) will always operated on a side of the main protected object. Consequently, address  7+(502/$7 allows to select only a
side, not a measuring location.
Since the cause for overload comes from outside of the protected object, the overload
current is a traversing current. Therefore it does not necessarily have to be detected
at the infeeding side.

50

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.1 General

For transformers with tap changer the overload protection is assigned to the nonregulated side as it is the only side where we have a defined relation between rated
current and rated power.
For generators the overload protection usually is on the starpoint side.
For motors and shunt reactors the overload protection is connected to the current
transformers of the feeding side.
For series reactors, lines and busbars there any side can be selected.
Busbars and sections of overhead lines usually do not require overload protection
since it is not reasonable to calculate the temperature rise. Climate and weather
conditions (temperature, wind) change to quick. On the other hand, the current
alarm stage is able to warn of menacing overload.
The overexcitation protection (Section 2.11) is only possible for devices with voltage
connection, and requires a measuring voltage to be connected and declared in the topology (Section 2.1.2 under margin heading Assignment of Voltage Measuring
Inputs). It is not necessary to assign the protection function, since it always evaluates
the three-phase measuring voltages at the voltage inputs, and the frequency derived
from it.
When using the circuit breaker failure protection (Section 2.12) (address  %5($.
(5)$,/$7) please make sure that the assignment of this protection function corresponds to that side or measuring location whose current actually flows through the circuit breaker to be monitored. In the example shown in Figure 2-1, the assignment must
be set in address  %5($.(5)$,/$7 to 6LGH if you want to monitor the circuit
breaker of the upper voltage side, since both currents flow through the breaker (via M1
and M2). If on the other hand you want to monitor the circuit breaker of the cable feeder, you set address  %5($.(5)$,/$7 to 0HDVXULQJORF. When assigning
the circuit breaker failure protection function, make sure that the breaker auxiliary contacts or feedback information are correctly configured and assigned. Subsection 2.1.5
offers further details.
If you do not wish to assign any measuring location or side to the circuit breaker failure
protection because you want only the breaker position to be processed, set %5($.(5
)$,/$7 to ([WVZLWFKJ, i.e. external switching device. In this case, the protection handles only the breaker position but not any current flow for its operation. This
allows even to monitor a circuit breaker the current of which is not connected to the
device. But you have to ensure that the feedback information of this breaker is correctly connected and configured (Subsection 2.1.5).
Further 1-Phase
Protection
Functions

The 1-phase protection functions evaluate the 1-phase measuring current of a 1phase auxiliary measuring input. It is irrelevant in this context whether the connected
current belongs to the main protected object or not. Only the current connected to the
auxiliary measuring input is decisive.
The device must now be informed which current is to be evaluated by the 1-phase protection functions.
Address  '07,'07($7. assigns the time overcurrent protection for earth current (Section 2.5) to a 1-phase auxiliary measuring input. In most cases this will be the
current flowing in the neutral leads of an earthed winding, measured between the starpoint and the earth electrode. In Figure 2-1 the auxiliary measuring location X3 would
be a good choice; so you set here $X[LOLDU\&7,;. As this protection function is
autonomous, i.e. independent of any other protection function, any 1-phase auxiliary

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2 Functions

measuring input can be used. This requires, however, that it is not a high-sensitivity
measuring input and, of course, that it is connected. Please note also that the earth
overcurrent protection will receive from the auxiliary measuring location assigned here
not only its measured value, but also circuit breaker information (current flow and manual-close detection).
Address  '073+$6($7 assigns the single-phase time overcurrent protection
(Section 2.7). This protection function is mainly used for high-sensitivity current measurement, e.g. for tank leakage protection or high-impedance unit protection. Therefore
a high-sensitivity 1-phase auxiliary measuring input is particularly suited for it. In Figure 2-1 this would be the auxiliary measuring location X4; so you set this address to
$X[LOLDU\&7,;. However, it is also possible to assign this protection function to
any other auxiliary measuring input used, regardless of its sensitivity.

2.1.5

Circuit Breaker Data (Power System Data 1)

Circuit Breaker
Status

Various protection and ancillary functions require information of the status of the circuit
breaker for faultless operation. Command processing makes also use of the feed-back
information from the switching devices.
If, for instance, the circuit breaker failure protection is used to monitor the reaction of
a specific circuit breaker, the protection device must know the measuring location at
which the current flowing through the breaker is acquired, and the binary inputs which
provide information on the breaker status. During the configuration of the binary inputs
you merely assigned the (physical) binary inputs to the (logic) functions. The device,
however, must also know which measuring location(s) the circuit breaker is assigned
to.
The breaker failure protection and thus the circuit breaker that is monitored by it
is normally assigned to a measuring location or to a side (see above, Subsection 2.1.4
under margin heading Further 3-Phase Protection Functions, page 49). You can
therefore set addresses  to  6ZLWFKJ&%DX[6... if a side is concerned, or addresses  to  6ZLWFKJ&%DX[0... if a measuring location is concerned.
You can, alternatively, monitor any desired circuit breaker, exclusively by means of the
CB position indication, i.e. without consideration of current flow. In this case you must
have selected ([WVZLWFKJ under address  %5($.(5)$,/$7. You have
then to select the corresponding breaker feedback information under address 
6ZLWFKJ&%DX[( (switching device auxiliary contact of external breaker).
Select the address which corresponds to the assignment of the circuit breaker failure
protection. There, you choose from the following options:
1. If, during the configuration of the binary inputs, you have defined the circuit breaker as a control object, and allocated the appropriate feedback indications, you
choose these feedback indications to determine the circuit breaker position, e.g.
4. The breaker position is then automatically derived from the circuit breaker Q0.
2. If during the configuration of the binary inputs you have generated a single-point
indication which is controlled by the NC or NO auxiliary contacts of the circuit
breaker, you select this indication.

52

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.1 General

3. If during the configuration of the binary inputs you have generated a double-point
indication which is controlled by the NC and NO auxiliary contact of the circuit
breaker (feedback from the switching device), you select this indication.
4. If you have generated appropriate indications using CFC, you can select these indications.
In any case, you must make sure that the selected option indicates also the position
of the monitored circuit breaker. If you have not yet generated an indication for control
and feed-back of the breaker to be monitored you should make up for it now. Detailed
information is given in the SIPROTEC System Manual, order-no. E50417H1176
C151 (Section 5.7).
Example:
The group Control Devices of the configuration matrix contains a double-point indication 4. Assuming this should be the breaker to be monitored, you have determined during configuration the physical inputs of the device at which the feedback indication of the breaker Q0 arrive. For example, if the breaker failure protection should monitor the breaker at the high-voltage side (= Side 1) of the transformer
in Figure 2-1 you set:
Address  6ZLWFKJ&%DX[6 (because breaker at Side S1 is monitored) = 4
(because indication 4 indicates feed-back of the breaker).
Of course, you can define any desired input indication which indicates the breaker position via an correspondingly assigned physical input.
Manual Close Indication of a Circuit
Breaker

If a protection function is to make use of an external manual-close command indicated


via a binary input, you must have selected that logical input indication during the configuration of the binary inputs that corresponds to the side or measuring location to
which the protection function is assigned. From the internal control, the device uses
the same switching objects that were selected at the addresses  to  (above).
Example:
If you have assigned the time overcurrent protection for phase currents to measuring location M4 and want it to receive the manual-close command from circuit
breaker CB2, you connect the Close command for breaker CB2 to a binary input
and allocate that input to !0DQXDO&ORVH0 (FNo ).

Setting Groups

Purpose of Setting
Groups

In the 7UT6 relay, four independent setting groups (A to D) are possible. During operation, you may switch between setting groups locally, via binary inputs (if so configured), via the operator or service interface using a personal computer, or via the system interface. For reasons of safety it is not possible to change between setting groups
during a power system fault.
A setting group includes the setting values for all functions that have been selected as
(QDEOHG during configuration (see Subsection 2.1.1). Whilst setting values may vary
among the four setting groups, the scope of functions of each setting group remains
the same.
Multiple setting groups allow a specific relay to be used for more than one application,
because the function settings for each application are stored and readily retrievable
when needed. While all setting groups are stored in the relay, only one setting group
may be active at a given time.
If multiple setting groups are not required, Group A is the default selection, and the
rest of this subsection is of no importance.
If multiple setting groups are desired, address  *US&KJH237,21 must have
been set to (QDEOHG in the relay configuration. Refer to Subsection 2.1.1. Each of
these sets (A to D) is adjusted one after the other. You will find more details how to
navigate between the setting groups, to copy and reset setting groups, and how to
switch over between the setting groups during operation, in the SIPROTEC System
Manual, order number E50417H1176C151.
The preconditions to switch from one setting group to another via binary inputs is described in Subsection 3.1.2.

General Protection Data (Power System Data 2)


General protection data (36<67(0'$7$) includes settings associated with all
functions rather than a specific protective or monitoring function. In contrast to the
36<67(0'$7$ as discussed before, these settings can be changed over with the
setting groups and can be configured via the operator panel of the device.

Sign of Power

When the device is delivered from the factory, its power and energy values are defined
so that power in the direction of the protected object is considered as positive: Active
components and inductive reactive components in the direction of the protected object
are positive. The same applies for the power factor cos . It is occasionally desired to
define the power draw from the protected object positively. Using parameter address
 34VLJQ the signs for these components can be inverted.

Circuit Breaker
Status

In order to function optimally, several protection and supplementary functions require


information regarding the state of the circuit breaker. Furthermore, control functions
use feed-back information from the switching devices.
If, for instance, the circuit breaker failure protection is used to monitor the reaction of
a specific circuit breaker by means of current flow, the protection device must know
the measuring location at which the current flowing through the breaker is acquired.
In addition to such circuit breaker information as may be available from the feedback
indications provided by the circuit breaker auxiliary contacts, the device evaluates the
electrical criteria which say that a circuit breaker cannot be open if a current is flowing
through it. This current criterion is defined by specifying a pole-open current level 3R
OH2SHQ&XUU below which an open breaker is identified.
As the topologies encountered in a system can be quite complex, the circuit breaker
can be assigned to a measuring location or to a side.
In 3-phase protected objects you can set such a pole-open current for each of the up
to 5 possible sides of the main protected object and for each of the up to 5 possible
measuring locations. In the concrete case, the options are of course restricted to the
sides and measuring locations which actually exist and have been specified by the topology. The maximum range of possible addresses includes:

Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU0 for measuring location 3,
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU0 for measuring location 4,
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU0 for measuring location 5.
If parasitic currents (e.g. through induction) can be excluded when the circuit breaker
is open, these settings may normally be very sensitive. Otherwise the settings must
be increased correspondingly. In most cases the setting can be the same for all addresses displayed.
Consider that increased measuring errors may occur if a side is fed from several
measuring locations.
In the 1-phase busbar protection, you can set such a pole-open current for each of the
up to 6 feeders (7UT613 and 7UT633 for 1-phase connection with summation CT) or
9 feeders (7UT613 and 7UT633 for 1-phase connection without summation CT) or 12
feeders (7UT635 with or without summation CT) of the busbar. The maximum range
of possible addresses includes:
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU, for feeder 1,
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU, for feeder 2,
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU, for feeder 3,
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU, for feeder 4,
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU, for feeder 5,
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU, for feeder 6,

Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU, for feeder 10,
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU, for feeder 11,
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU, for feeder 12.
Finally, it is also possible to monitor the pole-open currents at the auxiliary measuring
locations. The maximum range of possible addresses includes:
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU,; for auxiliary measuring location 1,
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU,; for auxiliary measuring location 2,
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU,; for auxiliary measuring location 3,
Address  3ROH2SHQ&XUU,; for auxiliary measuring location 4.
Remember also that all binary inputs must have been allocated which shall generate
a manual close signal for the different protection functions (FNos  to ).

2.2 Differential Protection

2.2

Differential Protection
The differential protection represents the main protection of the device. It is based on
current comparison. 7UT6 is suitable for unit protection of transformers, generators,
motors, reactors, short lines (also with branch-points), and (under observance of the
available number of analog current inputs) for busbar arrangements. Generator/transformer units may also be protected. 7UT613 and 7UT633 allow up to 3, 7UT635 allows
up to 5 three-phase measuring locations.
7UT6 can be used as a single-phase differential protection relay. In this case, 7UT613
and 7UT633 allow up to 9 (with summation CTs 6), 7UT635 allows up to 12 measuring
locations, e.g. currents from a busbar with up to 6 or 9 or 12 feeders.
The protected zone is limited selectively by the current transformer sets.

2.2.1

Fundamentals of Differential Protection


The formation of the measured quantities depends on the application of the differential
protection. This subsection describes the general method of operation of the differential protection, independent of the type of protected object. The illustrations are based
on single-line diagrams. The special features concerning the various types of protected object are covered in the subsequent subsections.

Basic Principle with


Two Sides

Differential protection is based on current comparison. It makes use of the fact that a
protected object (Figure 2-15) carries always the same current i (dashed line) at its two
sides in healthy operation. This current flows into one side of the considered zone and
leaves it again on the other side. A difference in current marks is a clear indication of
a fault within this zone. If the actual current transformation ratios are equal, the secondary windings of the current transformers CT1 and CT2 at the sides of the protected
object can be connected to form a closed electric circuit with a secondary current I; a
measuring element M which is connected to the electrical balance point remains at
zero current in healthy operation.

73

2 Functions

When a fault occurs in the zone limited by the current transformers, a current I1 + I2
which is proportional to the fault currents i1 + i2 flowing in from both sides is fed to the
measuring element. As a result, the simple circuit shown in Figure 2-15 ensures a reliable tripping of the protection if the fault current flowing into the protected zone during
a fault is high enough for the measuring element M to respond.
All following considerations are based on the convention that all currents flowing into
the protected zone are defined as positive unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Basic Principle with
more than Two
Sides

For protected objects with three or more sides or for busbars, the principle of differential protection is extended in that the total of all currents flowing into the protected object is zero in healthy operation, whereas in case of a fault the total is equal to the fault
current.
Figure 2-16 shows the example of a busbar with 4 feeders. The three-winding power
transformer of Figure 2-17 is limited by 4 measuring locations (current transformer
sets), so it is treated by the differential protection like a 4-winding transformer.

When an external fault causes a heavy current to flow through the protected zone, differences in the magnetic characteristics of the current transformers CT1 and CT2 (Figure 2-15) under conditions of saturation may cause a significant current to flow
through the measuring element M. If the magnitude of this current lies above the response threshold, the protection would issue a trip signal even though no fault is
present within the protected zone. Current restraint prevents such erroneous operation.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.2 Differential Protection

In differential protection systems for protected objects with two terminals, a restraining
quantity is normally derived from the current difference |I1 I2| or from the arithmetical
sum |I1| + |I2|. Both methods are equal in the relevant ranges of the stabilization characteristics. In differential protection systems for protected objects with three or more
terminals, e.g multiple-winding transformers or busbars, restraint is only possible with
the arithmetic sum. The latter method is used in 7UT6 for all protected objects. The
following definitions apply for 2 measuring locations:
a tripping effect or differential current
IDiff = |I1 + I2|
and a stabilization or restraining current
IRest = |I1| + |I2|
The current sum definition is extended for more than 2 measurement locations, e.g.
for 4 measuring locations (Figure 2-16 or 2-17):
IDiff = |I1 + I2 + I3 + I4|
IRest = |I1| + |I2| + |I3| + |I4|
IDiff is calculated from the fundamental wave of the measured currents and produces
the tripping effect quantity, IRest counteracts this effect.
To clarify the situation, three important operating conditions should be examined (refer
also to Figure 2-18):

Definition of current direction

a) Through-flowing current under healthy conditions or on an external fault:


I1 flows into the protected zone, I2 leaves the protected zone, i.e. thus has opposite
sign, i.e. I2 = I1, and consequently |I2| = |I1|
IDiff = |I1 + I2| = |I1 I1| = 0
IRest = |I1| + |I2| = |I1| + |I1| = 2|I1|
no tripping effect (IDiff = 0); restraint (IRest) corresponds to twice the through-flowing
current.
b) Internal fault, fed from each end e.g. with equal currents:
In this case, I2 = I1, and consequently |I2| = |I1|
IDiff = |I1 + I2| = |I1 + I1| = 2|I1|
IRest = |I1| + |I2| = |I1| + |I1| = 2|I1|

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

75

2 Functions

tripping effect (IDiff) and restraining (IRest) quantities are equal and correspond to
the total fault current.
c) Internal fault, fed from one side only:
In this case, I2 = 0
IDiff = |I1 + I2| = |I1 + 0| = |I1|
IRest = |I1| + |I2| = |I1| + 0 = |I1|
tripping effect (IDiff) and restraining (IRest) quantities are equal and correspond to
the fault current fed from one side.
This result shows that for internal fault IDiff = IRest. Thus, the characteristic of internal
faults is a straight line with the slope 1 (45) in the operation diagram as illustrated in
Figure 2-19 (dash-dotted line).

Add-on Stabilization during External


Fault

Operation characteristic of differential protection and fault characteristic

Saturation of the current transformers caused by high fault currents and/or long system time constants are uncritical for internal faults (fault in the protected zone), since
the measured value deformation is found in the differential current as well in the restraint current, to the same extent. The fault characteristic as illustrated in Figure 2-19
is principally valid in this case, too. Of course, the fundamental wave of the current
must exceed at least the pickup threshold (branch a in Figure 2-19).
During an external fault which produces a high through-flowing fault current causing
current transformer saturation, a considerable differential current can be simulated,
especially when the degree of saturation is different at the two sides. If the quantities
IDiff/IRest result in an operating point which lies in the trip area of the operating characteristic (Figure 2-19), trip signal would be the consequence if there were no special
measures.

76

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.2 Differential Protection

7UT6 provides a saturation indicator which detects such phenomena and initiates
add-on stabilization measures. The saturation indicator considers the dynamic behaviour of the differential and restraint quantity.
The dashed line in Figure 2-19 shows an example of the shape of the instantaneous
quantities during a through-fault current with CT saturation at one side.
Immediately after fault inception (A) the fault currents increase severely thus producing a high restraint quantity (twice the through-flowing current). At the instant of CT
saturation (B) a differential quantity is produced and the restraint quantity is reduced.
In consequence, the operating point IDiff/IRest may move into the tripping area (C).
In contrast, the operating point moves immediately along the fault characteristic (D)
when an internal fault occurs since the restraint current will barely be higher then the
differential current.
Current transformer saturation during external faults is detected by the high initial restraint current which moves the operating point briefly into the add-on stabilization
area (Figure 2-19). The saturation indicator makes its decision within the first quarter
cycle after fault inception. When an external fault is detected, the differential stage is
blocked for an adjustable time. This blocking is cancelled as soon as the operation
point moves steadily (i.e. over at least one cycle) near the fault characteristic (90 %
of the slope of the fault characteristic). This allows to detect evolving faults in the protected zone reliably even after an external fault with current transformer saturation.
Add-on stabilization operates individually per phase. You can determine by a setting
parameter whether only the phase with detected external fault is blocked or also the
other phases (so called crossblock function).
A further stabilization comes into effect when differential secondary currents are simulated by different transient behaviour of the current transformer sets. This differential
current is caused by different DC time constants in the secondary circuits during
through-current conditions, i.e. the equal primary DC components are transformed
into unequal secondary DC components due to different time constants of the secondary circuits. This produces a DC component in the differential current which increases
the pickup values of the differential stage for a short period.
Harmonic Restraint

When switching unloaded transformers or shunt reactors on a live busbar, high magnetizing (inrush) currents may occur. These inrush currents produce differential quantities as they seem like single-end fed fault currents. Also during paralleling of transformers, or an overexcitation of a power transformer, differential quantities may occur
due to magnetizing currents cause by increased voltage and/or decreased frequency.
The inrush current can amount to a multiple of the rated current and is characterized
by a considerable 2nd harmonic content (double rated frequency) which is practically
absent in the case of a short-circuit. If the 2nd harmonic content exceeds a selectable
threshold, the differential stage is blocked.
Besides the 2nd harmonic, another harmonic can be selected to cause blocking. A
choice can be made between the 3rd and 5th harmonic.
Overexcitation of the transformer iron is characterized by the presence of odd harmonics in the current. Thus, the 3rd and 5th harmonic are suitable to detect such phenomena. But, as the 3rd harmonic is often eliminated in power transformers (e.g. by the
delta winding), the use of the 5th is more common.
Furthermore, in case of converter transformers odd harmonics are found which are not
present during internal transformer faults.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

77

2 Functions

The differential quantities are examined as to their harmonic content. Numerical filters
are used to perform a Fourier analysis of the differential currents. As soon as the harmonic contents exceed the set values, a restraint of the respective phase evaluation
is introduced. The filter algorithms are optimized with regard to their transient behaviour such that additional measures for stabilization during dynamic conditions are not
necessary.
Since the harmonic restraint operates individually per phase, the protection is fully operative even when e.g. the transformer is switched onto a single-phase fault, whereby
inrush currents may possibly be present in one of the healthy phases. However, it is
also possible to set the protection such that not only the phase with inrush current exhibiting harmonic content in excess of the permissible value is restrained but also the
other phases of the differential stage are blocked (so called crossblock function).
This crossblock can be limited to a selectable duration.
Fast Unstabilized
Trip with High-Current Faults

High-current faults in the protected zone may be cleared instantaneously without regard of the magnitude of the restraining current, when the magnitude of the differential
currents can exclude that it is an external fault. In case of protected objects with high
direct impedance (transformers, generators, series reactors), a threshold can be
found above which a through-fault current never can increase. This threshold (prima1
- I 1 t UD nsf .
ry) is, e.g. for a power transformer, ---------------------------u
sc transf

The differential protection 7UT6 provides such unstabilized high-current trip stage.
This can operate even when, for example, a considerable 2nd harmonic is present in
the differential current caused by current transformer saturation by a DC component
in the fault current which could be interpreted by the inrush restraint function as an inrush current.
This high-current stage evaluates the fundamental wave of the currents as well as the
instantaneous values. Instantaneous value processing ensures fast tripping even in
case the fundamental wave of the current is strongly reduced by current transformer
saturation. Because of the possible DC offset after fault inception, the instantaneous
value stage operates only above twice the set threshold.
Increase of Pickup
Value on Cold Load
Startup

The increase of pickup value is especially suited for motors. In contrast to the inrush
current of transformers the inrush current of motors is a traversing current. Differential
currents, however, can emerge if current transformers still contain different remanent
magnetization before energization. Therefore, the current transformers are energized
from different operation points of their hysteresis. Although differential currents are
usually small, they can be harmful if differential protection is set very sensitive.
An increase of the pickup value on startup provides additional security against overfunctioning when a non-energized protected object is switched in. As soon as the restraining current of one phase has dropped below a settable value ,5(67
67$5783, the pickup value increase is activated. The restraint current is twice the traversing current in normal operation. Undershooting of the restraint current is therefore
a criterion for the non-energized protected object. The pickup value ,',))! is now
increased by a settable factor (see Figure 2-20). The other branches of the IDiff> stage
are shifted proportionally.
The reappearance of the restraint current indicates the startup. After a settable time 7
67$570$; the increase of the characteristic is undone. Current conditions IDiff/IRest
near the fault characteristic (90 % of the slope of the fault characteristic) cause a trip
command even before expiry of the time 767$570$;.

Branch b takes into consideration current-proportional errors which may result from
transformation errors of the main CTs, the input CTs of the relay, or from erroneous
current caused by the position of the tap changer of the voltage regulator.
In the range of high currents which may give rise to current transformer saturation,
branch c causes stronger stabilization.
Differential currents above the branch d cause immediate trip regardless of the restraining quantity and harmonic content (setting ,',))!!). This is the area of Fast
Unstabilized Trip with High-Current Faults (see above).
The area of Add-on stabilization is the operation area of the saturation indicator as
described above under margin Add-on Stabilization during External Fault.
The quantities IDiff and IRest are compared by the differential protection with the operating characteristic according to Figure 2-21. If the quantities result into a locus in the
tripping area, trip signal is given. If the current conditions IDiff/IRest appear near the
fault characteristic (90 % of the slope of the fault characteristic) trip occurs even
when the trip characteristic has been excessively increased due to add-on stabilization, startup or DC current detection.

Tripping characteristic of differential protection

Normally, a differential protection does not need a pickup or fault detection function
since the condition for a fault detection is identical to the trip condition. But, 7UT6 provides like all SIPROTEC 4 devices a fault detection function which has the task to
define the fault inception instant for a number of further features: Fault detection indicates the beginning of a fault event in the system. This is necessary to open the trip
log buffer and the memory for oscillographic fault record data. But, also internal functions need the instant of fault inception even in case of an external fault, e.g. the saturation indicator which has to operate right in case of an external fault.
As soon as the fundamental wave of the differential current exceeds approximately
85 % of the set value or the restraining current reaches 85 % of the add-on stabilization area, the protection picks up (Figure 2-22). Pickup of the fast high-current stage
causes a fault detection, too.
If the harmonic restraint is effective, the harmonic analysis is carried out (approx. one
AC cycle) in order to examine the restraint conditions. Otherwise, tripping occurs as
soon as the tripping conditions are fulfilled (tripping area in Figure 2-21).

For special cases, the trip command can be delayed.


Figure 2-23 shows a simplified tripping logic.
Reset of pickup is initiated when, during 2 AC cycles, pickup is no longer recognized
in the differential values, i.e. the differential current has fallen below 70 % of the set
value, and no further fault detection conditions are present.
If a trip command has not been initiated, the fault is considered to be over after reset.
If a trip command has been formed, this is sealed for at least the minimum trip duration
which is set under the general protection data, common for all protection function (refer to Subsection 2.1.3 under margin header Trip Command Duration, page 53). The
trip command is reset when also the reset conditions for pickup (as above) are fulfilled.

2.2 Differential Protection

2.2.2

Differential Protection for Transformers

Matching of the
Measured Values

In power transformers, generally, the secondary currents of the current transformers


are not equal when a current flows through the power transformer, but depend on the
transformation ratio and the connection group of the protected power transformer, and
the rated currents of the current transformers. The currents must, therefore, be
matched in order to become comparable.
Matching to the various power transformer and current transformer ratios and of the
phase displacement according to the vector group of the protected transformer is performed purely mathematically. As a rule, external matching transformers are not required.
The input currents are converted in relation to the power transformer rated currents.
This is achieved by entering the rated transformer data, such as rated power, rated
voltage and rated primary currents of the current transformers, into the protection device (Subsection 2.1.3 under margin header Object Data with Transformers, page
36, and Current Transformer Data for 3-phase Measuring Locations, page 42).
Figure 2-24 shows an example of magnitude matching. The primary nominal currents
of the two sides (windings) S1 and S2 are calculated from the rated apparent power
of the transformer (72 MVA) and the nominal voltages of the windings (110 kV and
25 kV). Since the nominal currents of the current transformers deviate from the nominal currents of the power transformer sides, the secondary currents are multiplied with
the factors k1 and k2. After this matching, equal current magnitudes are achieved at
both sides under nominal conditions of the power transformer.

Magnitude matching example of a two-winding power transformer (phase


relation not considered)

Concerning power transformers with more than two windings, the windings may have
different power ratings. In order to achieve comparable currents for the differential protection, all currents are referred to the winding (= side) with the highest power rating.
This apparent power is named the rated power of the protected object.
Figure 2-25 shows an example of a three-winding power transformer. Winding 1 (S1)
and 2 (S2) are rated for 72 MVA; thus, the same considerations apply as in Figure 224. But, the third winding (S3) has 16 MVA rating (e.g. for auxiliary supply). The rated
current of this winding (= side of the protected object) results in 924 A. On the other
hand, the differential protection has to process comparable currents. Therefore, the

currents of this winding must be referred to the rated power of the protected object, i.e.
72 MVA. This results in a nominal current (i.e. the current under nominal conditions of
the protected object, 72 MVA) of 4157 A. This is the base value for the third winding:
These currents must be multiplied by the factor k3.

Magnitude matching example of a three-winding power transformer (phase


relation not considered)

The device carries out this magnitude matching internally, based on the nominal values set according to Section 2.1.3 under Object Data with Transformers (page 36)
and Current Transformer Data for 3-phase Measuring Locations (page 42). Together
with the entered vector group, the protection is capable of performing the current comparison according to fixed formulae.
Conversion of the currents is performed by programmed coefficient matrices which
simulate the current conditions in the transformer windings. All conceivable vector
groups (including phase exchange) are possible. In this aspect, the conditioning of the
starpoint(s) of the power transformer is essential, too.
Isolated Starpoint

(magnitudes not considered)

Since there is no point earthed within the protected zone, no considerable zero sequence current can be produced within the protected zone in case of an earth fault
outside the protected zone, regardless whether or not the system starpoint is earthed
anywhere else in the system. In case of an earth fault within the protected zone, a zero
sequence current may occur at a measuring location if the system starpoint is earthed
anywhere else or another earth fault is present in the system (double earth fault in a
non-earthed system). Thus, zero sequence currents are of no concern for the stability
of the differential protection as they cannot occur in case of external faults.
However, in case of internal earth faults, the zero sequence currents are nearly fully
included in the differential quantity because they pass the measuring points from outside. Even higher earth fault sensitivity during internal earth fault is possible by means
of the time overcurrent protection for zero sequence currents (Section 2.4) and/or the
single-phase time overcurrent protection (Section 2.7).
Earthed Starpoint

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

Differential protection makes use of the fact that the total of all currents flowing into the
protected object is zero in healthy operation, as explained in Subsection 2.2.1. If the
starpoint of a power transformer winding is connected to earth, a current can flow into
the protected zone across this earth connection in case of earth faults. Consequently,
this current should be included in the current processing in order to obtain a complete

85

image of the in-flowing quantities. For instance, Figure 2-27 shows an external earth
fault which produces an out-flowing zero sequence current (IL3 = 3I0) which corresponds to the in-flowing starpoint current (ISP = 3I0). As a result, these currents cancel each other.

ISP corresponds to 3I0. The zero sequence current is included in case of an internal
fault (from I0 = 1/3 ISP), whilst the zero sequence component of the line currents is
compensated by the starpoint current in case of an external earth fault. In this way,
nearly full sensitivity is achieved for internal earth faults and full elimination of the zero
sequence current in case of external earth faults.
Even higher earth fault sensitivity during internal earth fault is possible by means of
the restricted earth fault protection as described in Section 2.3.
Starpoint Current
not Available

In many cases, however, the starpoint current is not available. The total summation of
the in-flowing currents is, thus, not possible because ISP is missing. In order to avoid
false formation of the differential current, the zero sequence current must be eliminated from the line currents.
Figure 2-28 illustrates an example for a transformer YNd5 with an earthed starpoint on
the Y-side.
On the left side, the zero sequence currents cancel each other because of the formation of the current differences. This complies with the fact that zero sequence current
is not possible outside of the delta winding. On the right side, the zero sequence current must be eliminated if the starpoint current cannot be included. Thus, the calculation rule of the matrix is, e.g.
1
/3 (2 IL1 1 IL2 1 IL3) = 1/3 (3 IL1 IL1 IL2 IL3) = 1/3 (3 IL1 3 I0) = (IL1 I0).
Zero sequence current elimination achieves that fault currents which flow via the
transformer during earth faults in the network in case of an earth point in the protected
zone (transformer starpoint or starpoint former by neutral earth reactor) are rendered

86

harmless without any special external measures. Refer e.g. to Figure 2-27: Because
of the earthed starpoint, a zero sequence current occurs on the right side during a network fault but not on the left side. Comparison of the phase currents, without zero sequence current elimination and without inclusion of the starpoint current, would cause
a wrong result (current difference in spite of an external fault).

Figure 2-29 shows an example of an earth fault on the delta side outside the protected
zone if an earthed starpoint former (neutral reactor with zigzag winding) is installed
within the protected zone. In this arrangement, a zero sequence current occurs on the
right side but not on the left, as above. If the starpoint former were outside the protected zone (i.e. CTs between power transformer and starpoint former) the zero sequence
current would not pass through the measuring point (CTs) and would not have any
harmful effect.

The disadvantage of elimination of the zero sequence current is that the protection becomes less sensitive (factor 2/3 because the zero sequence current amounts to 1/3) in
case of an earth fault in the protected area. Therefore, elimination is suppressed in
case the starpoint is not earthed (see above, Figure 2-26) or the starpoint current can
be included (Figure 2-27).
Use on AutoTransformers

Auto-transformers can only be connected Y(N)y0. If the starpoint is earthed this is effective for both the system parts (higher and lower voltage system). The zero sequence system of both system parts is coupled because of the common starpoint. In
case of an earth fault, the distribution of the fault currents is not unequivocal and cannot be derived from the transformer properties without further ado.

Auto-transformer with earthed starpoint

The zero sequence current is eliminated for the differential protection. This is achieved
by the application of the matrices with zero sequence current elimination.
The decreased sensitivity due to zero sequence current elimination cannot be compensated by consideration of the starpoint current. This current cannot be assigned to
a certain phase nor to a certain side of the transformer.
Higher earth fault sensitivity during internal earth fault can be achieved by using the
high-impedance unit protection described in Subsection 2.7.2.

88

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.2 Differential Protection

A further possibility to increase the earth fault sensitivity is useful for auto-transformer
banks where 3 single-phase auto-transformers are arranged to a transformer bank. In
this arrangement, single-phase earth faults are the most probable. A current comparison protection can be built up over each of the auto-connected windings which compares the currents flowing into the total winding. A prerequisite is that the power transformers have no further galvanically isolated accessible (tertiary) winding since this
could not be included into the summation of the currents. Further preconditions are
discussed with the topology of the protected object (Subsection 2.1.2 under margin
Auto-Transformer Banks.
Use on SinglePhase Transformers

Single-phase transformers can be designed with one or two windings per side; in the
latter case, the winding phases can be wound on one or two iron cores. In order to
ensure that optimum matching of the currents would be possible, always two measured current inputs shall be used even if only one current transformer is installed on
one phase. The currents are to be connected to the inputs L1 and L3 of the device;
they are designated IL1 and IL3 in the following.
If two winding phases are available, they may be connected either in series (which
corresponds to a wye-winding) or in parallel (which corresponds to a delta-winding).
The phase displacement between the windings can only be 0 or 180. Figure 2-31
shows an example of a single-phase power transformer with two phases per side with
the definition of the direction of the currents.

L1

Figure 2-31

Example of a single-phase transformer with current definition

Like with three-phase power transformers, the currents are matched by programmed
coefficient matrices which simulate the difference currents in the transformer windings. The common form of these equations is

where

Since the phase displacement between the windings can only be 0 or 180, matching
is relevant only with respect to the treatment of the zero sequence current (besides
magnitude matching). If the starpoint of the protected transformer winding is not
earthed (Figure 2-31 left side), the phase currents can directly be used.
If a starpoint is earthed (Figure 2-31 right side), the zero sequence current must be
eliminated unless it can be compensated by considering the starpoint current. By
forming the current differences, fault currents which flow through the transformer during earth faults in the network in case of an earth point in the protected zone (transformer starpoint) are rendered harmless without any special external measures.

The disadvantage of elimination of the zero sequence current is that the protection becomes less sensitive (factor 1/2 because the zero sequence current amounts to 1/2) in
case of an earth fault in the protected area. Higher earth fault sensitivity can be
achieved if the starpoint current is available, i.e. if a CT is installed in the starpoint
connection to earth and this current is fed to the device (Figure 2-32).

The zero sequence current is not eliminated. Instead of this, for each phase 1/2 of the
starpoint current ISP is added. The effect is that the zero sequence current is considered in case of an internal fault (from I0 = 1/2 ISP), whilst the zero sequence current
is eliminated in case of an external fault because the zero sequence current on the
terminal side I0 = 1/2 (IL1 + IL3) compensates for the starpoint current. In this way,
full sensitivity (with zero sequence current) is achieved for internal earth faults and full
elimination of the zero sequence current in case of external earth faults.
Even higher earth fault sensitivity during internal earth fault is possible by means of
the restricted earth fault protection as described in Section 2.3.

2.2.3

Differential Protection for Generators, Motors, and Series Reactors

Matching of the
Measured Values

90

Equal conditions apply for generators, motors, and series reactors. The protected
zone is limited by the sets of current transformers at each side of the protected object.
On generators and motors, the CTs are installed in the starpoint connections and at
the terminal side (Figure 2-33). Since the current direction is defined as positive in the
direction of the protected object, for differential protection schemes, the definitions of
Figure 2-33 apply.

In 7UT6, all measured quantities are referred to the rated values of the protected object. The device is informed about the rated machine data during setting: the rated apparent power, the rated voltage, and the rated currents of the current transformers.
(Subsection 2.1.3 under margin header Object Data with Generators, Motors or Reactors, page 39, and Current Transformer Data for 3-phase Measuring Locations,
page 42). Measured value matching is reduced to magnitude factors, therefore.
Transverse Differential Protection

A special case is the use as transverse differential protection. The definition of the current direction is shown in Figure 2-34 for this application.
For use as a transverse differential protection, the protected zone is limited by the end
of the parallel phases. A differential current always and exclusively occurs when the
currents of two parallel windings differ from each other. This indicates a fault current
in one of the parallel phases.

L1

L2

L3
Figure 2-34

Definition of current direction with transverse differential protection

The currents flow into the protected object even in case of healthy operation, in contrast to all other applications. For this reason, the polarity of one current transformer
set must be reversed, i.e. you must set a wrong polarity, as described in Subsection
2.1.3 under Current Transformer Data for 3-phase Measuring Locations, page 42.
Starpoint Conditioning

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

If the differential protection is used as generator or motor protection, the starpoint condition need not be considered even if the starpoint of the machine is earthed (high- or
low-resistant). The phase currents are always equal at both measuring locations in
case of an external fault. With internal faults, the fault current results always in a differential current.

91

2 Functions

Nevertheless, increased earth fault sensitivity can be achieved by the restricted earth
fault protection as described in Section 2.3 and/or by the high-impedance unit protection described in Subsection 2.7.2.

2.2.4

Differential Protection for Shunt Reactors


If current transformers are available for each phase at both side of a shunt reactor, the
same considerations apply as for series reactors (see Subsection 2.2.3).
In most cases, current transformers are installed in the lead phases and in the starpoint connection (Figure 2-35 left graph). In this case, comparison of the zero sequence currents is reasonable. The restricted earth fault protection is most suitable for
this application, refer to Section 2.3.
If current transformers are installed in the line at both sides of the connection point of
the reactor (Figure 2-35 right graph) the same conditions apply as for auto-transformers.
A neutral earthing reactor (starpoint former) outside the protected zone of a power
transformer can be treated as a separate protected object provided it is equipped with
current transformers like a shunt reactor. The difference is that the starpoint former
has a low impedance for zero sequence currents.

2.2 Differential Protection

2.2.5

Differential Protection for Mini-Busbars and Short Lines


A mini-busbar or branch-point is defined here as a three-phase, coherent piece of conductor which is limited by sets of current transformers (even this is, strictly speaking,
no branch point). Examples are short stubs or mini-busbars (Figure 2-36). The differential protection in this operation mode is not suited to transformers; use the function
Differential Protection for Transformers for this application (refer to Subsection
2.2.2). Even for other inductors, like series or shunt reactors, the busbar differential
protection should not be used because of its lower sensitivity.
This operation mode is also suitable for short lines or cables. Short means that the
current transformer connections from the CTs to the device cause no impermissible
burden for the current transformers. On the other hand, capacitive charging current do
not harm this operation because the protection is normally set to less sensitivity with
this application.
Since the current direction is normally defined as positive in the direction of the protected object, for differential protection schemes, the definitions of Figures 2-36 and
2-37 apply.
The models 7UT613 and 7UT633 allow mini-busbar with up to 3 feeder or lines with
up to 3 terminals (Teed lines) to be protected, 5 feeders can be protected using
7UT635. Figure 2-38 shows a busbar with 4 feeders an example.

Definition of current direction at a busbar with 4 feeders

If 7UT6 is used as differential protection for mini-busbars or short lines, all currents are
referred to the nominal current of the protected busbars or line. The device is informed
about this during setting (Subsection 2.1.3 under margin header Object Data with
Mini-Busbars or Short Lines (3-phase), page 39, and Current Transformer Data for
3-phase Measuring Locations, page 42). Measured value matching is reduced to
magnitude factors, therefore. No external matching devices are normally necessary if
the feeders or current transformer sets at the ends of the protected zone have different
primary current.
Differential Current
Monitoring

Whereas high sensitivity of the differential protection is normally required for transformers, reactors, and rotating machines in order to detect even small fault currents,
high fault currents are expected in case of faults on a busbar or a short line so that a
higher pickup threshold (above rated current) is conceded here. This allows for a continuous monitoring of the differential currents on a low level. A small differential current
in the range of operational currents indicates a fault in the secondary circuit of the current transformers.
This monitor operates phase segregated. When, during normal load conditions, a differential current is detected in the order of the load current of a feeder, this indicates
a missing secondary current, i.e. a fault in the secondary current leads (short-circuit or
open-circuit). This condition is annunciated with time delay. The differential protection
is blocked in the associated phase at the same time.

Feeder Current
Guard

2.2.6

Another feature is provided for protection of mini-busbars or short lines. This feeder
current guard monitors the currents of each phase of each measuring location of the
protected object. It provides an additional trip condition. Trip command is allowed only
when at least one of these currents exceeds a certain (settable) threshold.

Single-Phase Differential Protection for Busbars


Dependent on the ordered model, 7UT6 provides 6, 9, or 12 current inputs of equal
design. This allows for a single-phase busbar protection for up to 6 or 9 or 12 feeders.
Two possibilities exist:

94

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.2 Differential Protection

1. One 7UT6 is used for each phase (Figure 2-39). Each phase of all busbar feeders
is connected to one phase dedicated device.
2. The phase currents of each feeder are summarized into a single-phase summation current (Figure 2-40). These currents are fed to one 7UT6.
Phase Segregated
Connection

For each of the phases, a 7UT6 is used in case of single-phase connection. The fault
current sensitivity is equal for all types of fault. 7UT613 or 7UT633 is suited for a busbar with up to 9, 7UT635 for up to 12 feeders.
The differential protection refers all measured quantities to the nominal current of the
protected object. Therefore, a common nominal current is defined for the entire busbar
even if the feeder CTs have different nominal currents. The nominal currents of the
busbar and each of the feeders has been set on the relay (Subsection 2.1.3 under
margin header Object Data with Busbars (1-phase Connection) with up to 6 or 9 or
12 Feeders, page 40, and Current Transformer Data for 1-phase Busbar Protection,
page 44). Matching of the current magnitudes is performed in the device. No external
matching devices are normally necessary even if the current transformer sets at the
ends of the protected zone have different primary current.

One single device 7UT6 is sufficient for a busbar with up to 6 (7UT613/7UT633) or 12


(7UT635) feeders if the device is connected via summation current transformers. The
phase currents of each feeder are converted into single-phase current by means of
the summation CTs (Figure 2-40). Current summation is unsymmetrical; thus, different
sensitivity is valid for different type of fault.
A common nominal current must be defined for the entire busbar. Matching of the currents can be performed in the summation transformer connections if the feeder CTs
have different nominal currents. The output of the summation transformers is normally
designed for IM = 100 mA at symmetrical nominal busbar current.

single-phase summation current is, as illustrated in Figure 2-42, 3 times the winding
unit value. That is, the ampere turns are the same as they would be for single-phase
current 3 times the value flowing through the winding with the least number of turns
(ratio 1). For three-phase symmetrical fault currents equal to rated current IN, the secondary single-phase current is IM = 100 mA. All operating values are based on this
type of fault and this current.

For the connection shown in Figure 2-41, the weighting factors W of the summation
currents IM for the various fault conditions and the ratios to that given by the threephase symmetrical faults are shown in Table 2-3. On the right hand side is the complementary multiple of rated current which W/3 would have to be, in order to give the
summation current IM = 100 mA in the secondary circuit. If the current setting values
are multiplied with this factor, the actual pickup values result.

The table shows that 7UT6 is more sensitive to earth faults than to those without earth
path component. This increased sensitivity is due to the fact that the summation transformer winding in the CT starpoint connection (IE, residual current, refer to Figure 241) has the largest number of turns, and thus, the weighting factor W = 3.
If the higher earth current sensitivity is not necessary, connection according to Figure
2-43 can be used. This is reasonable in earthed systems with particularly low zero sequence impedance where earth fault currents may be larger than those under twophase fault conditions. With this connection, the values given in Table 2-4 can be recalculated for the seven possible fault conditions in solidly earthed systems.

Comparison with Table 2-3 shows that under earth fault conditions the weighting factor W is less than with the standard connection. Thus the thermal loading is reduced
to 36 %, i.e. (1.73/2.89)2.
The described connection possibilities are examples. Certain phase preferences
(especially in systems with non-earthed neutral) can be obtained by cyclic or acyclic
exchange of the phases. Further increase of the earth current can be performed by
introducing an auto-CT in the residual path, as a further possibility.
The type 4AM5120 is recommended for summation current transformer. These transformers have different input windings which allow for summation of the currents with

the ratio 2:1:3 as well as matching of different primary currents of the main CTs to an
certain extent. Figure 2-45 shows the winding arrangement.
The nominal input current of each summation CT must match the nominal secondary
current of the connected main CT set. The output current of the summation CT (= input
current of the 7UT6) amounts to IN = 0.1 A at nominal conditions, with correct matching.

Differential Current
Monitoring

Winding arrangement of summation and matching transformers 4AM5120

Whereas high sensitivity of the differential protection is normally required for transformers, reactors, and rotating machines in order to detect even small fault currents,
high fault currents are expected in case of faults on a busbar so that a higher pickup
threshold (above rated current) is conceded here. This allows for a continuous monitoring of the differential currents on a low level.
When, during normal load conditions, a differential current is detected in the order of
the load current of a feeder, this indicates a missing secondary current, i.e. a fault in
the secondary current leads (short-circuit or open-circuit). This condition is annunciated with time delay. The differential protection is blocked at the same time.

Feeder Current
Guard

2.2.7

Another feature is provided for protection of busbars. This feeder current guard monitors the currents of each feeder of the busbar. It provides an additional trip condition.
Trip command is allowed only when at least one of these currents exceeds a certain
(settable) threshold.

Setting the Function Parameters

General

The differential protection can only operate if this function is set ',))3527 = (Q
DEOHG during configuration (address ). If it not used, 'LVDEOHG is configured; in
this case the associated setting are not accessible.
Additionally, the type of protected object must be decided during configuration (address  35272%-(&7, Subsection 2.1.1). Only those parameters are offered

7UT6 Manual

which are reasonable for the selected type of protected object; all remaining are suppressed.
The differential protection can be switched 21 or 2)) in address  ',))3527.
The option %ORFNUHOD\ allows to operate the protection but the trip output relay is
blocked.
Note:
When delivered from factory, the differential protection is switched 2)). The reason
is that the protection must not be in operation unless at least the connection group (of
a transformer) and the matching factors have been set before. Without proper settings, the device may show unexpected reactions (incl. tripping)!

Starpoint Conditioning

If there is a current transformer in the starpoint connection of an earthed transformer


winding, i.e. between starpoint and earthing electrode, the starpoint current may be
taken into consideration for calculations of the differential protection (see also Subsection 2.2.2, margin heading Earthed Starpoint, page 85). Thus, full earth fault sensitivity is ensured.
If a starpoint is earthed but the earth current is not available, the zero sequence current is eliminated automatically in order to avoid false operation in case of an external
earth fault; the following parameters are then omitted. Equally, the parameters are not
available for sides of the protected object which are not earthed. You have informed
the device about the earthing conditions during setting of the object properties (Subsection 2.1.3 under margin heading Object Data with Transformers, page 36, addresses , , , , and/or  and Subsection 2.1.2 under header margin
Assignment of Auxiliary 1-phase Measuring Locations, page 32).
The conclusion is: If the starpoint of a side of the protected power transformer is
earthed and the starpoint current is fed to the device (via an auxiliary 1-phase current
input) you can, nevertheless, suppress the inclusion of the starpoint current into the
formation of the differential quantities, in addresses $ ',))Z,(0($6 for
side 1. This parameter can only be altered with DIGSI under Additional Settings.
Corresponding for other sides, if applicable:
address $ ',))Z,(0($6 for side 2 if earthed,
address $ ',))Z,(0($6 for side 3 if earthed,
address $ ',))Z,(0($6 for side 4 if earthed,
address $ ',))Z,(0($6 for side 5 if earthed.
With setting <(6 the corresponding earth current will be considered by the differential
protection.

Differential Current
Monitoring

With busbar protection or short line protection differential current can be monitored
(see Subsection 2.2.5 and 2.2.6). This function can be set to 21 and 2)) in address
 ,',))!021. Its use only makes sense if one can distinguish clearly between operational error currents caused by missing CT currents and fault currents
caused by a fault in the protected object.
The pickup value ,',))!021 (address ) must be high enough to avoid a
pickup caused by a transformation error of the current transformers and by minimum
mismatching of different current transformers. On the other hand, the pickup value
must lie clearly below the pickup value of the differential protection (,',))!, address ); otherwise no differentiation between operational errors caused by miss-

2.2 Differential Protection

ing secondary currents and fault currents due to short-circuit in the protected object
would be possible. The pickup value is referred to the rated current of the protected
object. Time delay 7,',))!021 (address ) applies to the annunciation and
blocking of the differential protection. This setting ensures that blocking with the presence of faults (even of external ones) is avoided. The time delay is usually about some
seconds.
Feeder Current
Guard

With busbars and short lines a release of the trip command can be set if one of the
incoming currents is exceeded. The differential protection only trips if one of the measured currents exceeds the threshold ,!&855*8$5' (address ). The pickup
value is referred to the rated current of the protected object. With setting  (pre-setting)
this release criterion will not be used.
If the feeder current guard is set (i.e. to a value of > 0), the differential protection will
not trip before the release criterion is given. This is also the case if, in conjunction with
very high differential currents, the extremely fast instantaneous value scheme (see
Subsection 2.2.1, margin heading Fast Unstabilized Trip with High-Current Faults)
has detected the fault already after a few milliseconds.

Trip Characteristic
Differential Current

The parameters of the trip characteristic are set in addresses  to $. Figure
2-46 illustrates the meaning of the different settings. The numbers signify the addresses of the setting parameters.
,',))! (address ) is the pickup value of the differential current. This is the total
fault current into the protected object, regardless of the way this is distributed between
the sides. The pickup value is referred to the rated current of the protected object. You
may select a high sensitivity (small pickup value) for transformers (presetting
0.2 INObj). For reactors, generators, or motors, a yet smaller pickup value is possible
provided the current transformers are of equal design. A higher value (above nominal
current) is to be selected for lines and busbars. Higher measuring tolerances must be
expected if the nominal currents of the current transformers differ extensively from the
nominal current of the protected object or with a higher number of measuring locations.
In addition to the pickup limit ,',))!, the differential current is subjected to a second
pickup threshold. If this threshold ,',))!! (address ) is exceeded then tripping is initiated regardless of the magnitude of the restraint current or the harmonic
content or add-on stabilization (unstabilized high-current trip). This stage must be set
higher than ,',))!. If the protected object has a high direct impedance (transformers, generators, series reactors), a threshold can be found above which a throughfault current never can increase. This threshold (primary) is, e.g. for a power trans1
former, u----------------------------- I 1 t UD nsf .
sc transf

The tripping characteristic forms two more branches (Figure 2-46) The slope of the
first branch is determined by the address $ 6/23(, its base point by the address $ %$6(32,17. This parameter can only be altered with DIGSI under
Additional Settings. This branch covers current-proportional errors. These are
mainly errors of the main current transformers and, in case of power transformers with
tap changers, error currents which occur due to the transformer regulating range.

Tripping characteristic of the differential protection

The percentage of this latter error current is equal to the percentage of the regulating
range provided the rated voltage is corrected according to Subsection 2.1.3 under
margin Object Data with Transformers (page 36).
The second branch produces a higher restraint in the range of high currents which
may lead to current transformer saturation. Its base point is set under address $
%$6(32,17 and is referred to the rated object current. The slope is set under address $ 6/23(. The stability of the protection can be influenced by these settings. A higher slope results in a higher stability. This parameter can only be altered
with DIGSI under Additional Settings.
Delay Times

In special cases it may be advantageous to delay the trip signal of the protection. For
this, an additional delay can be set. The timer $ 7,',))! is started when an
internal fault is detected by the IDiff> stage and the trip characteristic. $ 7,
',))!! is the delay for the IDiff>> stage. This parameter can only be altered with
DIGSI under Additional Settings. The dropout time of all stages is determined by
the minimum trip time duration of all protection functions.
These settings are pure delay times which do not include the inherent operating time
of the protection.

Increase of Pickup
Value on Startup

The increase of the pickup value on startup serves as an additional safety against
overfunctioning when a non-energized protection object is switched in. This function
can be set to 21 or 2)) in address  ,1&&+$567$57. Especially for motors or
motor/transformer in unit connection it should be set to 21.
The restraint current value ,5(6767$5783 (address $) is the value of the
restraining current which is likely to be undershot before startup of the protected object
takes place (i.e. during standstill). This parameter can only be altered with DIGSI under Additional Settings. Note that the restraint current is twice the traversing oper-

ational current. The preset value of 0.1 represents 0.05 times the rated current of the
protected object.
Address $ 67$57)$&725 determines by which factor the pickup value of the
IDiff> stage is to be increased on startup. The characteristic of this stage increases by
the same factor. The IDiff>> stage is not affected. For motors or motor/transformer in
unit connection, a value of 2 is normally adequate. This parameter can only be altered
with DIGSI under Additional Settings.
The increase of the pickup value is set back to its original value after time period 7
67$570$; (address ) has passed.
Add-on Stabilization

In systems with very high traversing currents a dynamic add-on stabilization is being
enabled for external faults (Figure 2-46). The initial value is set in address $ ,
$''2167$%. The value is referred to the rated current of the protected object. The
slope is the same as for characteristic branch b (6/23(, address $). This parameter can only be altered with DIGSI under Additional Settings. Note that the
restraint current is the arithmetical sum of the currents flowing into the protected object, i. e. it is twice the traversing current. Add-on stabilization has no effect on the ,
',))!! stage.
The maximum duration of the add-on stabilization after detection of an external fault
is set in multiples of an AC cycle (address $ 7$''2167$%). This parameter
can only be altered with DIGSI under Additional Settings. The add-on stabilization
is disabled automatically even before the set time period expires as soon as the device
has detected that the operation point IDiff/IRest is located steadily (i.e. for at least one
AC-cycle) within the tripping zone.
Add-on stabilization operates individually per phase, but blocking can be extended to
all three phases (so called crossblock function). By means of address $ 7$''
2167$% you can determine how long time crossblock should take place. This parameter can only be altered with DIGSI under Additional Settings. Setting is also
in multiples of an AC-cycle. If you set F\FOHV, crossblock is ineffective, i.e. only the
phase with detected external fault will be blocked. Otherwise all phases will be
blocked; in this case the same setting as for 7$''2167$% is reasonable. If set
to the crossblock function remains active as long as add-on stabilization is effective.

Harmonic Restraint

Stabilization with harmonic content is available only when the device is used as transformer protection, i.e. 35272%-(&7 (address ) is set to SKDVHWUDQVI or
$XWRWUDQVI or SKDVHWUDQVI. It is used also for shunt reactors if current
transformers are installed at both sides of the connection points of the reactor (cf. example in Figure 2-35, right graph).
The inrush restraint function can be switched 2)) or 21 under address  ,1586+
+$50. It is based on the evaluation of the 2nd harmonic content of the inrush current. The ratio of the 2nd harmonic to the fundamental frequency +$5021,& (address ) is preset to I2fN/IfN =  % and can, as a rule, be retained without change.
This ratio can be decreased in order to provide for a more stable setting in exceptional
cases under especially unfavourable switch-on conditions. Harmonic restraint has no
effect on the ,',))!! stage.
The inrush restraint can be extended by the Crossblock function. This means that
not only the phase with inrush current exhibiting harmonic content in excess of the permissible value is stabilized but also the other phases of the differential stage IDiff> are
blocked. The duration for which the crossblock function is active can be limited under

7UT6 Manual

2 Functions

address $ &5266%+$50. Setting is in multiple of the AC-cycle. This parameter can only be altered with DIGSI under Additional Settings. If set to  (presetting) the protection can trip when the transformer is switched on a single-phase
fault even while the other phases carry inrush current. If set to the crossblock function remains active as long as harmonic content is registered in any phase.
Besides the 2nd harmonic, 7UT6 provides stabilization with a further harmonic: the
n-th harmonic. Address  5(675Q+$50 allows to select the +DUPRQLF
or the +DUPRQLF, or to switch this n-th harmonic restraint 2)).
Steady-state overexcitation of transformers is characterized by odd harmonic content.
The 3rd or 5th harmonic is suitable to detect overexcitation. As the 3rd harmonic is often eliminated in the transformer windings (e.g. in a delta connected winding group),
the 5th harmonic is usually used.
Converter transformers also produce odd harmonic content, which is absent in the
case of an internal short-circuit.
The harmonic content which blocks the differential stage IDiff> is set under address
 Q+$5021,&. For example, if the 5th harmonic restraint is used to avoid trip
during overexcitation, 30 % (presetting) is convenient.
Harmonic restraint with the n-th harmonic operates individual per phase. But possibility exists as with the inrush restraint to set the protection such that not only the
phase with harmonic content in excess of the permissible value is stabilized but also
the other phases of the differential stage IDiff> are blocked (crossblock function). The
duration for which the crossblock function is active can be limited under address
$ &5266%Q+$50. Setting is in multiple of the AC-cycle. This parameter can
only be altered with DIGSI under Additional Settings. If set to  (presetting) the
crossblock function is ineffective, if set to the crossblock function remains active as
long as harmonic content is registered in any phase.
If the differential current exceeds the magnitude set in address $ ,',))PD[
Q+0 no n-th harmonic restraint takes place. This parameter can only be altered with
DIGSI under Additional Settings.

Restricted Earth Fault Protection


The restricted earth fault protection detects earth faults in power transformers, shunt
reactors, neutral earthing transformers/reactors, or rotating machines, the starpoint of
which is led to earth. It is also suitable when a starpoint former (neutral reactor) is installed within a protected zone of a non-earthed power transformer. A precondition is
that a current transformer is installed in the starpoint connection, i.e. between the starpoint and the earthing electrode. The starpoint CT and the phase CTs define the limits
of the protected zone exactly. Restricted earth fault protection is not applicable on
auto-transformers and busbars.
Examples are illustrated in the Figures 2-47 to 2-51.

Restricted earth fault protection on a generator or motor with earthed starpoint

The restricted earth fault protection can operate on one of the sides of the main protected object (power transformer, generator, motor, reactor) or on a further protected
object, according to the topology as stated in Subsection 2.1.2. The assignment of the
protection is carried out according Subsection 2.1.4. Furthermore, it is presumed that
the assignment of the different measuring locations to the sides of the main protected
object or to a further protected object as well as the assignment of the 1-phase current
input for the starpoint current has been performed correctly according to Subsection
2.1.2.

2.3.1

Function Description

Basic Principle

During healthy operation, no starpoint current ISP flows through the starpoint lead, the
sum of the phase currents 3I0 = IL1 + IL2 + IL3 is almost zero, too.
When an earth fault occurs in the protected zone (Figure 2-52), a starpoint current ISP
will flow; depending on the earthing conditions of the power system a further earth current may be recognized in the residual current path of the phase current transformers.
Since all currents which flow into the protected zone are defined positive, the residual
current from the system will be more or less in phase with the starpoint current.

When an earth fault occurs outside the protected zone (Figure 2-53), a starpoint current ISP will flow equally; but the residual current of the phase current transformers 3I0
is now of equal magnitude and in phase opposition with the starpoint current.

IL3

Example for an earth fault outside a transformer with current distribution

When a fault without earth connection occurs outside the protected zone, a residual
current may occur in the residual current path of the phase current transformers which
is caused by different saturation of the phase current transformers under strong
through-current conditions. This current could simulate a fault in the protected zone.
Wrong tripping must be avoided under such condition. For this, the restricted earth
fault protection provides stabilization methods which differ strongly from the usual stabilization methods of differential protection schemes since it uses, besides the magnitude of the measured currents, the phase relationship, too.
Evaluation of the
Measured
Quantities

The restricted earth fault protection compares the fundamental wave of the current
flowing in the starpoint connection, which is designated as 3I0 in the following, with
the fundamental wave of the sum of the phase currents, which should be designated
in the following as 3I0". Thus, the following applies (Figure 2-54):
3I0' = ISP
3I0" = IL1 + IL2 + IL3
Only 3I0' acts as the tripping effect quantity, during a fault within the protected zone
this current is always present.

2.3 Restricted Earth Fault Protection

When an earth fault occurs outside the protected zone, another earth current 3I0"
flows though the phase current transformers. This is in counter-phase with the starpoint 3I0' current and has equal magnitude. The maximum information of the currents
is evaluated for stabilization: the magnitude of the currents and their phase position.
The following is defined:
A tripping effect current
IREF = |3I0'|
and the stabilization or restraining current
IRest = k (|3I0' 3I0"| |3I0' + 3I0"|)
where k is a stabilization factor which will be explained below, at first we assume k = 1.
IREF is derived from the fundamental wave and produces the tripping effect quantity,
IRest counteracts this effect.
To clarify the situation, three important operating conditions should be examined:
a) Through-fault current on an external earth fault:
3I0" is in phase opposition with 3I0' and of equal magnitude i.e. 3I0" = 3I0'
IREF = |3I0'|
IRest = |3I0' + 3I0"| |3I0' 3I0"| = 2|3I0'|
The tripping effect current (IREF) equals the starpoint current; restraint (IRest)
corresponds to twice the tripping effect current.
b) Internal earth fault, fed only from the starpoint:
In this case, 3I0" = 0
IREF = |3I0'|
IRest = |3I0' 0| |3I0' + 0| = 0
The tripping effect current (IREF) equals the starpoint current; restraint (IRest) is
zero, i.e. full sensitivity during internal earth fault.
c) Internal earth fault, fed from the starpoint and from the system, e.g. with equal earth
current magnitude:
In this case, 3I0" = 3I0'
IREF = |3I0'|
IRest = |3I0' 3I0'| |3I0' + 3I0'| = 2 |3I0'|
The tripping effect current (IREF) equals the starpoint current; the restraining quantity (IRest) is negative and, therefore, set to zero, i.e. full sensitivity during internal
earth fault.
This result shows that for internal fault no stabilization is effective since the restraint
quantity is either zero or negative. Thus, small earth current can cause tripping. In contrast, strong restraint becomes effective for external earth faults. Figure 2-55 shows
that the restraint is the strongest when the residual current from the phase current
transformers is high (area with negative 3I0"/3I0'). With ideal current transformers,
3I0"/3I0' would be 1.
If the starpoint current transformer is designed weaker than the phase current transformers (e.g. by selection of a smaller accuracy limit factor or by higher secondary burden), no trip will be possible under through-fault condition even in case of severe saturation as the magnitude of 3I0" is always higher than that of 3I0'.

It was assumed in the above examples that the currents 3I0" and 3I0' are in counterphase for external earth faults which is only true for the primary measured quantities.
Current transformer saturation may cause phase shifting between the fundamental
waves of the secondary currents which reduces the restraint quantity. If the phase displacement (3I0"; 3I0') = 90 then the restraint quantity is zero. This corresponds to
the conventional method of direction determination by use of the vectorial sum and difference comparison (Figure 2-56).

2.3 Restricted Earth Fault Protection

The restraint quantity can be influenced by means of a factor k. This factor has a certain relationship to the limit angle limit. This limit angle determines, for which phase
displacement between 3I0" and 3I0' the pickup value grows to infinity when 3I0" = 3I0',
i.e. no pickup occurs. In 7UT6 is k = 4, i.e. the restraint quantity in the above example
a) is quadrupled once more: the restraint quantity IRest is 8 times the tripping effect
quantity IREF. The limit angle is limit = 100. That means no trip is possible for phase
displacement |(3I0"; 3I0')| 100.
Figure 2-57 shows the operating characteristics of the restricted earth fault protection
dependent of the phase displacement between 3I0" and 3I0', for a constant infeed ratio
|3I0"| = |3I0'|.

It is possible to increase the tripping value in the tripping area proportional to the arithmetic sum of all currents, i.e. with the sum of the magnitudes |I| = |IL1 | + |IL2 | + |IL3 |
+ |ISP | (Figure 2-58). The slope of this stabilization can be set.
Fault Detection

Normally, a differential protection does not need a pickup or fault detection function
since the condition for a fault detection is identical to the trip condition. But the restricted earth fault protection provides like all protection functions a fault detection signal
which forms an additional precondition for tripping and defines the fault inception instant for a number of further activities.
As soon as the fundamental wave of the differential current exceeds 85 % of the pickup value, fault detection is indicated. In this aspect, the differential current is represented by the sum of all in-flowing currents.

The restricted earth fault protection can only operate if this function has been set during configuration (refer to Subsection 2.1.1, address ) 5()3527 to (QDEOHG.
Furthermore, an auxiliary 1-phase measured current input must be assigned to the
same side or measuring location where the starpoint current is to be processed. (Subsection 2.1.2. under margin header Assignment of Auxiliary 1-phase Measuring Locations). The restricted earth fault protection itself must have been assigned to this
side or measuring location (Subsection 2.1.4. under margin header Restricted Earth
Fault Protection).
The restricted earth fault protection can be set effective (21) or ineffective (2))) in address  5()3527. The option %ORFNUHOD\ allows to operate the protection
but the trip output relay is blocked.

2.3 Restricted Earth Fault Protection

Note:
When delivered from factory, the restricted earth fault protection is switched 2)). The
reason is that the protection must not be in operation unless at least the assigned side
and the CT polarity have been set before. Without proper settings, the device may
show unexpected reactions (incl. tripping)!
The sensitivity of the restricted earth fault protection is determined by the pickup value
,5()! (address ). The earth fault current which flows through the starpoint lead
of the protected object (transformer, generator, motor, shunt reactor) is decisive. A further earth current which may be supplied from the network does not influence the sensitivity. The setting value is referred to the nominal current of the protected side of the
main protected object or, in case of a further protected object, to the nominal operation
current of the corresponding measuring location.
The set value can be increased in the tripping quadrant depending on the arithmetic
sum of the currents (stabilization by the sum of all current magnitudes) which is set
under address $ 6/23(. This parameter can only be altered with DIGSI under
Additional Settings. The preset value  is normally adequate.
In special cases it may be advantageous to delay the trip signal of the protection. For.
this, an additional delay can be set. The timer $ 7,5()! is started when an
internal fault is detected. This setting is a pure delay time which does not include the
inherent operating time of the protection.

2.3.3

Setting Overview
Note: Addresses which have an A attached to their end can only be changed in
DIGSI, under Additional Settings. The referred current values I/INS are referred to
the nominal current of the assigned side of the main protected object as stated in Subsection 2.1.3. If the restricted earth fault protection is not assigned to the main protected object, the nominal current of the assigned 3-phase measuring location as stated
in Subsection 2.1.3 is the reference.

2.4 Time Overcurrent Protection for Phase and Residual Currents

2.4

Time Overcurrent Protection for Phase and Residual Currents

General

Time overcurrent protection is used as backup protection for the short-circuit protection of the main protected object and provides backup protection for external faults
which are not promptly disconnected and thus may endanger the protected object. It
can also be used as short-circuit protection for a further protected object if it has been
assigned to corresponding measuring locations (cf. Subsection 2.1.4 under Further
3-Phase Protection Functions, page 49) and these are assigned to the correct current
inputs (cf. Subsection 2.1.2 under Assignment of 3-phase Measuring Locations,
page 28).
Time overcurrent protection for phase currents takes its currents from the side or
measuring location to which it is assigned. Time overcurrent protection for residual
current always uses the sum of the phase currents of that side or measuring location
to which it is assigned. The side or measuring location for the phase currents may be
different from that of the residual current.
If the main protected object is 35272%-(&7 = SK%XVEDU (address , see Subsection 2.1.1), the time overcurrent protection is ineffective.
The time overcurrent protection provides two definite time stages and one inverse time
stage for each the phase currents and the residual current. The inverse time stages
may operate according an IEC or an ANSI, or an user defined characteristic.

2.4.1

Function Description

2.4.1.1

Definite Time Overcurrent Protection


The definite time stages for phase currents and residual current are always available
even if an inverse time characteristic has been configured according to Subsection
2.1.1 (addresses  and/or ).

Pickup, Trip

Two definite time stages are available for each the phase currents and the residual
current (3I0).
Each phase current and the residual current 3I0 are compared with the setting value
,!! (common setting for the three phase currents) and ,!! (independent setting
for 3I0). Currents above the associated pickup value are detected and annunciated.
When the respective delay time 7,!! or 7,!! is expired, tripping command is
issued. The reset value is approximately 5 % below the pickup value for currents
above IN. Lower values require a higher hysteresis in order to avoid intermittent pickup
on currents near the pickup value (e.g. 10 % at 0.2IN).
Figure 2-60 shows the logic diagram for the high-current stages I>> and 3I0>>.

2.4 Time Overcurrent Protection for Phase and Residual Currents

Each phase current and the residual current 3I0 are, additionally, compared with the
setting value ,! (common setting for the three phase currents) and ,! (independent setting for 3I0). When the set thresholds are exceeded, pickup is annunciated.
But if inrush restraint is used (cf. Subsection 2.4.1.5), a frequency analysis is performed first (Subsection 2.4.1.5). If an inrush condition is detected, pickup annunciation is suppressed and an inrush message is output instead. When, after pickup without inrush recognition, the relevant delay times 7,! or 7,! are expired, tripping
command is issued. During inrush condition no trip is possible but expiry of the timer
is annunciated. The reset value is approximately 5 % below the pickup value for currents above IN. Lower values require a higher hysteresis in order to avoid intermittent
pickup on currents near the pickup value (e.g. 10 % at 0.2IN).
Figure 2-61 shows the logic diagram of the stages I> for phase currents, Figure 2-62
for residual current.
The pickup values for each of the stages, I> (phase currents), 3I0> (residual current),
I>> (phase currents), 3I0>> (residual current) and the delay times can be set individually.

Inverse Time Overcurrent Protection


The inverse time overcurrent stages operate with a characteristic either according to
the IEC- or the ANSI-standard or with a user-defined characteristic. The characteristic
curves and their equations are represented in Technical Data (Figures 4-7 to 4-9 in
Section 4.4). When configuring one of the inverse time characteristics, definite time
stages I>> and I> are also available (see Section 2.4.1.1).

Pickup, Trip

122

Each phase current and the residual current (sum of phase currents) are compared,
one by one, to a common setting value ,S and a separate setting ,S. If a current
exceeds 1.1 times the setting value, the corresponding stage picks up and is signalled
phase-segregated. But if inrush restraint is used (cf. Subsection 2.4.1.5), a frequency
analysis is performed first (Subsection 2.4.1.5). If an inrush condition is detected, pickup annunciation is suppressed and an inrush message is output instead. The RMS
values of the basic oscillations are used for pickup. During the pickup of an Ip stage,
the tripping time is calculated from the flowing fault current by means of an integrating
measuring procedure, depending on the selected tripping characteristic. After the expiration of this period, a trip command is transmitted as long as inrush current is detected or inrush restraint is disabled. If inrush restraint is enabled and inrush current

2.4 Time Overcurrent Protection for Phase and Residual Currents

is detected, there will be no tripping. Nevertheless, an annunciation is generated indicating that the time has expired.
For the residual current ,S the characteristic can be selected independent from the
characteristic used for the phase currents.
The pickup values for the stages Ip (phase currents), 3I0p (residual current) and the
delay times for each of these stages can be set individually.

You can determine whether the dropout of a stage is to follow right after the threshold
undershot or whether it is evoked by disk emulation. Right after means that the pickup drops out when the pickup value of approx. 95 % is undershot. For a new pickup
the time counter starts at zero.
The disk emulation evokes a dropout process (time counter is decrementing) which
begins after de-energization. This process corresponds to the back turn of a Ferrarisdisk (explaining its denomination disk emulation). In case several faults occur successively, it is ensured that due to the inertia of the Ferraris-disk the history is taken
into consideration and the time behaviour is adapted. The reset begins as soon as
90 % of the setting value is undershot, in correspondence to the dropout curve of the
selected characteristic. Within the range of the dropout value (95 % of the pickup value) and 90 % of the setting value, the incrementing and the decrementing processes
are in idle state. If 5 % of the setting value is undershot, the dropout process is being
finished, i.e. when a new pickup is evoked, the timer starts again at zero.
The disk emulation offers its advantages when the grading coordination chart of the
time overcurrent protection is combined with other devices (on electro-mechanical or
induction base) connected to the system.

2.4 Time Overcurrent Protection for Phase and Residual Currents

User-Specified
Curves

The tripping characteristic of the user-configurable curves can be defined via several
points. Up to 20 pairs of current and time values can be entered. With these values
the device approximates a characteristic by linear interpolation.
If required, the dropout characteristic can also be defined. For the functional description see Dropout above. If no user-configurable dropout characteristic is desired,
dropout is initiated when approximately 95 % of the pickup value is undershot; when
a new pickup is evoked, the timer starts again at zero.

2.4.1.3

Manual Close Command


When a circuit breaker is closed onto a faulted protected object, a high speed re-trip
by the breaker is often desired. The manual closing feature is designed to remove the
delay from one of the time overcurrent stages when the breaker is manually closed
onto a fault. The time delay is then bypassed via an impulse from the external control
switch. This impulse is prolonged by a period of at least 300 ms (Figure 2-65). Addresses $0$18$/&/26( and/or $ ,0$1&/26( determine for
which stages the delay is bypassed under manual close condition.

Manual close processing

Processing of the manual close command can be executed for each measuring location or side. Manual close signal is also generated when an internal control command
is given to a breaker which is assigned to the same protection function as the time
overcurrent protection, in the power system data 1 (Subsection 2.1.4).
Strict attention must be paid that the manual close condition is derived from that circuit
breaker which feeds the object that is protected by the time overcurrent protection!
The breaker concerning the phase overcurrent protection may be different from that
for the zero sequence overcurrent protection, dependent of the assignment of these
protection functions.

2.4.1.4

Dynamic Cold Load Pickup


With the dynamic cold load pickup feature, it is possible to dynamically increase the
pickup values of the time overcurrent protection stages when dynamic cold load overcurrent conditions are anticipated, i.e. when consumers have increased power consumption after a longer period of dead condition, e.g. in air conditioning systems, heating systems, motors, etc. By allowing pickup values and the associated time delays to
increase dynamically, it is not necessary to incorporate cold load capability in the normal settings.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

125

2 Functions

Processing of the dynamic cold load pickup conditions is the same for all time overcurrent stages, and is explained in Section 2.6 (page 157). The alternative values
themselves are set for each of the stages.

2.4.1.5

Inrush Restraint
When switching unloaded transformers or shunt reactors on a live busbar, high magnetizing (inrush) currents may occur. They can amount to a multiple of the rated current and, dependent on the transformer size and design, may last from several milliseconds to several seconds.
Although overcurrent detection is based only on the fundamental harmonic component of the measured currents, false pickup due to inrush might occur since the inrush
current may even comprise a considerable component of fundamental harmonic.
The time overcurrent protection provides an integrated inrush restraint function which
blocks the overcurrent stages I> and Ip (not I>>) for phase and residual currents in
case of inrush detection. After detection of inrush currents above a pickup value special inrush signals are generated. These signals also initiate fault annunciations and
start the assigned trip delay time. If inrush current is still detected after expiration of
the delay time, an annunciation is output. Tripping is suppressed.
The inrush current is characterized by a considerable 2nd harmonic content (double
rated frequency) which is practically absent in the case of a short-circuit. If the second
harmonic content of a phase current exceeds a selectable threshold, trip is blocked for
this phase. Similar applies for the residual current stages.
The inrush restraint feature has an upper operation limit. Above this (adjustable) current blocking is suppressed since a high-current fault is assumed in this case. The lower limit is the operating limit of the harmonic filters (0.1 IN).

2.4 Time Overcurrent Protection for Phase and Residual Currents

Since the harmonic restraint operates individually per phase, the protection is fully operative even when e.g. the transformer is switched onto a single-phase fault, whereby
inrush currents may possibly be present in one of the healthy phases. However, it is
also possible to set the protection such that not only the phase with inrush current exhibiting harmonic content in excess of the permissible value is blocked but also the
other phases of the associated stage are blocked (so called cross-block function).
This cross-block can be limited to a selectable duration. Figure 2-67 shows the logic
diagram.
Crossblock refers only to the phase current stages against each other. Phase inrush
currents do not block the residual current stages nor vice versa.

Fast Busbar Protection Using Reverse Interlocking

Application
Example

Each of the overcurrent stages can be blocked via binary inputs of the relay. A setting
parameter determines whether the binary input operates in the normally open (i.e.
energize input to block) or the normally closed (i.e. energize input to release) mode.
Thus, the overcurrent time protection can be used as fast busbar protection in star
connected networks or in open ring networks (ring open at one location), using the
reverse interlock principle. This is used in high voltage systems, in power station
auxiliary supply networks, etc., in which cases a transformer feeds from the higher
voltage system onto a busbar with several outgoing feeders (refer to Figure 2-68).
The time overcurrent protection is applied to the lower voltage side. Reverse interlocking means, that the overcurrent time protection can trip within a short time TI>>,
which is independent of the grading time, if it is not blocked by pickup of one of the
next downstream time overcurrent relays (Figure 2-68). Therefore, the protection
which is closest to the fault will always trip within a short time, as it cannot be blocked
by a relay behind the fault location. The time stages I> or Ip operate as delayed backup
stages.

Setting the Function Parameters


During configuration of the functional scope (Subsection 2.1.1, margin heading Special Cases) the types of characteristic were determined, separately for the phase current stages (address  DMT/IDMT Phase) and the zero sequence current stage
( DMT/IDMT 3I0). Only the settings for the characteristic selected can be performed here. The definite time stages I>>, 3I0>>, I> and 3I0> are always available.
The protection functions must have been assigned each to a side of the main protected object or another 3-phase current measuring location; this may be different for the
phase overcurrent protection and the zero sequence overcurrent protection (Subsection 2.1.4. under margin header Further 3-Phase Protection Functions). Consider
also the assignment of the measured current inputs of the device against the measuring locations (current transformer sets) of the power plant (Subsection 2.1.2. under
margin header Assignment of 3-phase Measuring Locations). Remember that the
zero sequence overcurrent protection processes a 3-phase measured quantity: the
zero sequence system of the three phase currents.

2.4 Time Overcurrent Protection for Phase and Residual Currents

2.4.2.1

Phase Current Stages

Note:
If the time overcurrent protection is assigned to a side of the main protected object,
the current values are set referred to the nominal current of that sided (I/INS) as stated
in Subsection 2.1.3. In other cases, current values are set in amps.

General

In address  3+$6(2& time overcurrent protection for phase currents can be
switched 21 or 2)). The option %ORFNUHOD\ allows to operate the protection but
the trip output relay is blocked.
Address $ 0$18$/&/26( determines the phase current stage which is to be
activated instantaneously with a detected manual close. Settings ,!!LQVWDQW and
,!LQVWDQW can be set independent from the type of characteristic selected. ,S
LQVWDQW is only available if one of the inverse time stages is configured. This parameter can only be altered with DIGSI under Additional Settings.
If time overcurrent protection is applied on the supply side of a transformer, select the
higher stage I>> which does not pick up during inrush conditions or set the manual
close feature to ,QDFWLYH.
In address  ,Q5XVK5HVW3K, inrush restraint (restraint with 2nd harmonic) is
enabled or disabled for all phase current stages of time overcurrent protection (excepted the I>> stage). Set 21 if one time overcurrent protection stage is to operate at the
supply side of a transformer. Otherwise, use setting 2)). If you intend to set a very
small pickup value for any reason, consider that the inrush restraint function cannot
operate below 20 % nominal current (lower limit of harmonic filtering).

Definite Time
High-Current
Stages I>>

If I>>-stage ,!! (address  or ) is combined with I>-stage or Ip-stage, a twostage characteristic will be the result. If one stage is not required, the pickup value has
to be set to . Stage ,!! always operates with a defined delay time or instantaneous.
If time overcurrent protection is used on the supply side of a transformer, a series reactor, a motor or starpoint of a generator, this stage can also be used for current grading. Setting instructs the device to pick up on faults only inside the protected object but
not for traversing fault currents.
Calculation example:

Assumed a safety margin of 20 %, the primary setting value results:


Setting value I>> = 1.2 1224.7 A = 1470 A
For setting in primary values via PC and DIGSI this value can be set directly. For setting with secondary values the currents will be converted for the secondary side of the
current transformer.
Secondary setting value:
1470 A
Setting value I>> = ------------------- 5 A = 36.7 A
200 A
i.e. for fault currents higher than 1470 A (primary) or 36.7 A (secondary) the fault is in
all likelihood located in the transformer zone. This fault can immediately be cleared by
the time overcurrent protection.
When setting in per-unit values, the nominal current of the protected object (here
equal to the nominal current of the side) is cancelled. Thus the formula gives:
I 3polemax

----------------------- = -------------------- = ----------- = 0.667

I NS
With the same safety factor results:
Setting value I>> = 0.8 INS (nominal current of the side).
Increased inrush currents, if their fundamental oscillation exceeds the setting value,
are rendered harmless by delay times (address  7,!!). The inrush restraint
does not apply to stages I>>.
Using reverse interlocking (Subsection 2.4.1.6, see also Figure 2-68) the multi-stage
function of the time overcurrent protection offers its advantages: Stage 7,!! e. g. is
used as accelerated busbar protection having a short safety delay ,!! (e. g. 50 ms).
For faults at the outgoing feeders the stage I>> is blocked. Stages ,S or ,! serve as
backup protection. The pickup values of both stages (,! or ,S and ,!!) are set equal.
Time delay 7,! or 7,S (IEC characteristic) or ',S (ANSI characteristic) is set such
that it overgrades the delay for the outgoing feeders.
If fault protection for motors is applied, you have to make sure that the setting value
,!! is smaller than the smallest (two-pole) fault current and higher than the highest
startup current. Since the maximum appearing startup current is usually below 1.6 x
the rated startup current (even with unfavourable conditions), the following setting is
adequate for fault current stage I>>:
1.6 Istartup > ,!! < Isc2-pole
The increased startup current possibly caused by increased voltage is already considered with factor 1.6. Stage I>> can trip instantaneously (7,!! =  V) since there
is no saturation of shunt reactance for motors, other than for transformers.
The settable time 7,!! is an additional time delay and does not include the operating
time (measuring time, dropout time). The delay can be set to infinity . If set to infinity,
the pickup of this function will be indicated but the stage will not trip after pickup. If the
pickup threshold is set to , neither a pickup annunciation nor a trip is generated.

For setting the time overcurrent stage ,! (address  or ) the maximum appearing operational current is relevant. A pickup caused by an overload must be excluded, as the device operates in this mode as fault protection with correspondingly

prox. 20 % above the maximum expected (over)load is set, for transformers and motors a rate of approx. 40 %.
The settable time delay (address  7,!) results from the grading coordination
chart defined for the network.
The settable time is an additional time delay and does not include the operating time
(measuring time, dropout time). The delay can be set to infinity . If set to infinity, the
pickup of the corresponding function will be signalled but the stage will not issue a trip
command. If the pickup threshold is set to , neither a pickup annunciation nor a trip

Inverse Time Overcurrent Stages Ip

The inverse time stages, depending on the configuration (Subsection 2.1.1, address

/RQJ,QYHUVH (type B according to IEC 602553).
The characteristics and equations they are based on are listed in the Technical Data
(Section 4.4, Figure 4-7).
If the inverse time trip characteristic is selected, it must be noted that a safety factor
of about 1.1 has already been included between the pickup value and the setting
value. This means that a pickup will only occur if a current of about 1.1 times of the
setting value is present.
The current value is set in address  or  ,S. The maximum operating current
is of primary importance for the setting. A pickup caused by an overload must be excluded, as the device operates in this mode as fault protection with correspondingly
short tripping times and not as overload protection.
The corresponding time multiplier is accessible via address  7,S. The time multiplier must be coordinated with the grading coordination chart of the network.
The time multiplier can also be set to . If set to infinity, the pickup of this function will

The default setting of current values is . Thus they are made invalid. No pickup and
no tripping by this protective function takes place.
For specification of a tripping characteristic please observe the following:
The value pairs are to be indicated in a continuous order. You may also enter less
than 20 value pairs. In most cases, 10 value pairs would be sufficient to be able to
define an exact characteristic. A value pair which will not be used has to be made
invalid entering for the threshold! Please ensure that a clear and steady characteristic is formed from the value pairs.

Inrush Restraint

In address  ,Q5XVK5HVW3K of the general settings (page 129, margin heading General) the inrush restraint can be enabled (21) or disabled (2))). Especially
for transformers and if overcurrent time protection is used on the supply side, this inrush restraint is required. Function parameters of the inrush restraint are set in Inrush.
It is based on an evaluation of the 2nd harmonic present in the inrush current. The ratio
of 2nd harmonics to the fundamental +$503KDVH (address ) is set to I2fN/
IfN =  % as default setting. It can be used without being changed. To provide more
restraint in exceptional cases, where energizing conditions are particularly unfavourable, a smaller value can be set in the address before-mentioned.
If the current exceeds the value indicated in address  ,0D[,Q5U3K, no
restraint will be provoked by the 2nd harmonic.
The inrush restraint can be extended by the so-called cross-block function. This
means that if the harmonic component is only exceeded in one phase, all three phases
of the I>- or Ip-stages are blocked. In address  &5266%/.3KDVH the crossblock function is set to 21 or 2)).
The time period for which the crossblock function is active after detection of inrushes
is set at address  7&5266%/.3K.

2.4.2.2

Residual Current Stages

Note:
If the time overcurrent protection is assigned to a side of the main protected object,
the current values are set referred to the nominal current of that sided as stated in
Subsection 2.1.3. In other cases, current values are set in amps.

General

In address  ,2&, time overcurrent protection for residual current can be set
to 21 or 2)). The option %ORFNUHOD\ allows to operate the protection but the trip
output relay is blocked.
Address $ ,0$1&/26( determines which residual current stage is to be
activated instantaneously with a detected manual close. Settings ,!!LQVWDQW
and ,!LQVWDQW can be set independent from the type of characteristic selected.
,SLQVWDQW is only available if one of the inverse time stages is configured. This
parameter can only be altered with DIGSI under Additional Settings. For this setting, similar considerations apply as for the phase current stages.
In address  ,Q5XVK5HVW, inrush restraint (restraint with 2nd harmonic) is
enabled or disabled. Set 21 if the residual current stage of the time overcurrent protection is applied at the supply side of a transformer whose starpoint is earthed.
Otherwise, use setting 2)).

Definite Time
High-Current
Stage 3I0>>

If I0>>-stage ,!! (address  or ) is combined with I>-stage or Ip-stage, a


two-stage characteristic will be the result. If one stage is not required, the pickup value
has to be set to . Stage ,!! always operates with a defined delay time.
If the protected winding is not earthed, zero sequence current only emerges due to an
inner earth fault or double earth fault with one inner base point. Here, no I0>>-stage is
required usually.
Stage I0>> can be applied e.g. for current grading. Please note that the zero sequence
system of currents is decisive. For transformers with separate windings, zero sequence systems are usually separated (exception: bilateral starpoint earthing).
Inrush currents can only be created in zero sequence systems, if the starpoint of the
winding regarded is earthed. If its fundamental exceeds the setting value, the inrush
currents are rendered harmless by delay (address  7,!!).
Reverse interlocking (Subsection 2.4.1.6, see Figure 2-68) only makes sense if the
winding regarded is earthed. Then, we take advantage of the multi-stage function of
time overcurrent protection: Stage 7,!! e. g. is used as accelerated busbar protection having a short safety delay ,!! (e. g. 50 ms). For faults at the outgoing feeders stage ,!! is blocked. Stages ,S or ,! serve as backup protection. The
pickup values of both stages (,! or ,S and ,!!) are set equal. Time delay 7
,! or 7,S (IEC characteristic) or ',S (ANSI characteristic) is set such that
it overgrades the delay for the outgoing feeders. Here, the grading coordination chart
for earth faults, which mostly allows shorter setting times, is of primary importance.
The set time 7,!! is an additional time delay and does not include the operating
time (measuring time, dropout time). The delay can be set to infinity . If set to infinity,
the pickup of this function will be indicated but the stage will not trip after pickup. If the
pickup threshold is set to , neither a pickup annunciation nor a trip is generated.

Definite Time
Overcurrent
Stage 3I0>

For setting the time overcurrent stage ,! (address  or ) the minimum appearing earth fault current is relevant. Consider that increased measuring tolerances
may occur if several measuring locations feed on the protected object.
The settable time delay (parameter  7,!) derives from the grading coordination chart created for the network. For earth currents with earthed network, you can
mostly set up a separate grading coordination chart with shorter delay times. If you set
a very small pickup value, consider that the inrush restraint function cannot operate

could be reasonable if inrush restraint is used.
The set time is an additional time delay and does not include the operating time (measuring time, dropout time). The delay can be set to infinity . If set to infinity, the pickup
of this function will be indicated but the stage will not be able to trip after pickup. If the
pickup threshold is set to , neither a pickup annunciation nor a trip is generated.
Inverse Time Overcurrent Stage 3I0p
with IEC Curves

The inverse time stage, depending on the configuration (Subsection 2.1.1, address

/RQJ,QYHUVH (type B according to IEC 602553).
The characteristics and equations they are based on are listed in the Technical Data
(Section 4.4, Figure 4-7).
If the inverse time trip characteristic is selected, it must be noted that a safety factor
of about 1.1 has already been included between the pickup value and the setting value. This means that a pickup will only occur if a current of about 1.1 times of the setting
value is present.
The current value is set in address  or  ,S. The most relevant for this setting is the minimum appearing earth fault current. Consider that increased measuring
tolerances may occur if several measuring locations feed on the protected object.
The corresponding time multiplier is accessible via address  7,S. This has
to be coordinated with the grading coordination chart of the network. For earth currents with earthed network, you can mostly set up a separate grading coordination
chart with shorter delay times. If you set a very small pickup value, consider that the
inrush restraint function cannot operate below 10 % nominal current (lower limit of harmonic filtering). An adequate time delay could be reasonable if inrush restraint is used.
The time multiplier can also be set to . If set to infinity, the pickup of this function will
be indicated but the stage will not be able to trip after pickup. If the Ip-stage is not required, select address  '07,'07, = 'HILQLWH7LPH when configuring the

If 'LVN(PXODWLRQ is set in address  72&'523287, dropout is being produced according to the dropout characteristic. For more information see Subsection

Inrush Restraint

In address  ,Q5XVK5HVW, of the general settings (page 136, margin heading General) the inrush restraint can be enabled (21) or disabled (2))). Especially
for transformers and if overcurrent time protection is activated on the earthed supply
side, this inrush restraint is required. Function parameters of the inrush restraint are

It is based on an evaluation of the 2nd harmonic present in the inrush current. The ratio
of 2nd harmonics to the fundamental +$50, (address ) is preset to
I2fN/IfN =  %. It can be used without being changed. To provide more restraint in exceptional cases, where energizing conditions are particularly unfavourable, a smaller
value can be set in the address before-mentioned.
If the current exceeds the value indicated in address  ,0D[,Q5U,, no
restraint will be provoked by the 2nd harmonic.

Setting Overview
Note: Addresses which have an A attached to their end can only be changed in
DIGSI, under Additional Settings. If the time overcurrent protection is assigned to
a side of the main protected object, the current values I/INS are set referred to the nominal current of that sided as stated in Subsection 2.1.3. In other cases, current values
are set in amps. The setting ranges and the default settings are then given for a rated
secondary current IN = 1 A. For a rated secondary current of IN = 5 A these values
have to be multiplied by 5.

Time Overcurrent Protection for Earth Current


The time overcurrent protection for earth current is assigned to a 1-phase measured
current input of the device (cf. Subsection 2.1.4 under Further 1-Phase Protection
Functions, page 51). Principally, it can be used for any desired application of singlephase overcurrent detection. Its preferred application is the detection of an earth current between the starpoint of a protected three-phase object and the earthing electrode. The correct assignment of the related 1-phase current input and the 1-phase
current transformer of the power plant must be ensured (cf. Subsection 2.1.2 under
Assignment of Auxiliary 1-phase Measuring Locations, page 32).
This protection can be used in addition to the restricted earth fault protection (Section
2.3). Then it forms the backup protection for earth faults outside the protected zone
which are not cleared there. Figure 2-71 shows an example.
The time overcurrent protection for earth current provides two definite time stages and
one inverse time stage. The latter may operate according an IEC or an ANSI, or an
user defined characteristic.

Inverse Time Overcurrent Protection


The inverse-time overcurrent stage operates with a characteristic either according to
the IEC- or the ANSI-standard or with a user-defined characteristic. The characteristic
curves and their equations are represented in Technical Data (Figures 4-7 to 4-9 in
Section 4.4). If one of the inverse time characteristics is configured, the definite time
stages IE>> and IE> are also enabled (see Subsection 2.5.1.1).

Pickup, Trip

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

The current measured at the assigned 1-phase current input is compared with setting
value ,(S. If the current exceeds 1.1 times the set value, the stage picks up and an
annunciation is made. But if inrush restraint is used (cf. Subsection 2.5.1.5), a frequency analysis is performed first (Subsection 2.5.1.5). If an inrush condition is detected,
pickup annunciation is suppressed and an inrush message is output instead. The
RMS value of the fundamental is used for the pickup. During the pickup of an ,Ep
stage, tripping time is calculated from the flowing fault current by means of an integrat-

ing measuring procedure, depending on the selected tripping characteristic. After expiration of this time period, a trip command is output as long as no inrush current is
detected or inrush restraint is disabled. If inrush restraint is enabled and inrush current

You can determine whether the dropout of the stage is to follow right after the threshold undershot or whether it is evoked by disk emulation. Right after means that the
pickup drops out when the pickup value of approx. 95 % is undershot. For a new pickup the time counter starts at zero.
The disk emulation evokes a dropout process (time counter is decrementing) which
begins after de-energization. This process corresponds to the back turn of a Ferrarisdisk (explaining its denomination disk emulation). In case several faults occur successively, it is ensured that due to the inertia of the Ferraris-disk the History is taken
into consideration and the time behaviour is adapted. The reset begins as soon as approximately 90 % of the setting value is undershot, in correspondence to the dropout
curve of the selected characteristic. Within the range of the dropout value (95 % of the
pickup value) and 90 % of the setting value, the incrementing and the decrementing

processes are in idle state. If 5 % of the setting value is undershot, the dropout process is being finished, i.e. when a new pickup is evoked, the timer starts again at zero.
The disk emulation offers its advantages when the grading coordination chart of the
time overcurrent protection is combined with other devices (on electro-mechanical or
induction base) connected to the system.
Use Specified
Curves

The tripping characteristic of the user-configurable characteristic can be defined via


several points. Up to 20 pairs of current and time values can be entered. With these
values the device approximates a characteristic by linear interpolation.
If required, the dropout characteristic can also be defined. For the functional description see Dropout. If no user-configurable dropout characteristic is desired and if approx. a 95 % of the pickup value is undershot, dropout is initiated. When a new pickup
is evoked, the timer starts again at zero.

2.5.1.3

Manual Close Command


When a circuit breaker is closed onto a faulted protected object, a high speed re-trip
by the breaker is often desired. The manual closing feature is designed to remove the
delay from one of the time overcurrent stages when the breaker is manually closed
onto a fault. The time delay is then bypassed via an impulse from the external control
switch. This impulse is prolonged by a period of at least 300 ms (Figure 2-65, page
125). Address $ ,(0$1&/26( determines for which stages the delay is bypassed under manual close condition.
Processing of the manual close command can be executed for each measuring location or side. Manual close signal is also generated when an internal control command
is given to a breaker which is assigned to the same protection function as the earth
overcurrent protection, in the power system data 1 (Subsection 2.1.4).
Strict attention must be paid that the manual close condition is derived from that circuit
breaker which feeds the object that is protected by the earth overcurrent protection!

2.5.1.4

Dynamic Cold Load Pickup


Dynamic changeover of pickup values is available also for time overcurrent protection
for earth current as it is for the time overcurrent protection for phase currents and residual current (Section 2.4). Processing of the dynamic cold load pickup conditions is
the same for all time overcurrent stages, and is explained in Section 2.6 (page 157).
The alternative values themselves are set for each of the stages.

Inrush Restraint
Earth current time overcurrent protection provides an integrated inrush restraint function which blocks the overcurrent stages IE> and IEp (not IE>>) in case of detection of
an inrush on a transformer.
If the second harmonic content of the earth current exceeds a selectable threshold,
trip is blocked.
The inrush restraint feature has an upper operation limit. Above this (adjustable) current blocking is suppressed since a high-current fault is assumed in this case. The lower limit is the operating limit of the harmonic filter (0.1 IN).

Setting the Function Parameters


When configuring the protection functions (see Subsection 2.1.1, margin heading
Special Cases, page 15) the type of characteristic was set (address ). Only settings for the characteristic selected can be performed. Definite time stages IE>> and
IE> are always available.
The earth overcurrent protection must have been assigned to an auxiliary 1-phase
current input of the device (Subsection 2.1.4. under margin header Further 1-Phase
Protection Functions). Consider also the assignment of the measured current input of
the device against the current transformer of the power plant (Subsection 2.1.2. under
margin header Assignment of Auxiliary 1-phase Measuring Locations).
In address  ($57+2&, time overcurrent protection for earth current can be set
to 21 or 2)). The option %ORFNUHOD\ allows to operate the protection but the trip
output relay is blocked.

Current and time setting shall exclude pickup during switching operations. This stage
is applied if you want to create a multi-stage characteristic together with stage IE> or
IEp (below described). With a certain degree, current grading can also be achieved,
similar to the corresponding stages of the time overcurrent protection for phase and
residual currents (Subsection 2.4.2). However, zero sequence system quantities must
be taken into consideration.
In most cases, this stage operates instantaneously. A time delay, however, can be
achieved by setting address  7,(!!.
The set time is an additional time delay and does not include the operating time (measuring time, dropout time). The delay can be set to infinity . If set to infinity, the pickup

Using the time overcurrent stage ,(! (address ) earth faults can also be detected with smaller fault currents. Since the starpoint current originates from one single
current transformer, it is not affected by summation effects evoked by different current
transformer errors like, for example, the zero sequence current derived from phase
currents. Therefore, this address can be set to very sensitive. But consider that the inrush restraint function cannot operate below 10 % nominal current (lower limit of harmonic filter). An adequate time delay could be reasonable for very sensitive setting if
inrush restraint is used.
Since this stage also picks up with earth faults in the network, the time delay (address
 7,(!) has to be coordinated with the grading coordination chart of the network
for earth faults. Mostly, you may set shorter tripping times than for phase currents
since a galvanic separation of the zero sequence systems of the connected power
system sections is ensured by a transformer with separate windings.
The set time is an additional time delay and does not include the operating time (measuring time, dropout time). The delay can be set to infinity . If set to infinity, the pickup

2.6 Dynamic Cold Load Pickup for Time Overcurrent Protection

2.6

Dynamic Cold Load Pickup for Time Overcurrent Protection


With the dynamic cold load pickup feature, it is possible to dynamically increase the
pickup values of the time overcurrent protection stages when dynamic cold load overcurrent conditions are anticipated, i.e. when consumers have increased power consumption after a longer period of dead condition, e.g. in air conditioning systems, heating systems, motors, etc. By allowing pickup values and the associated time delays to
increase dynamically, it is not necessary to incorporate cold load capability in the normal settings.
Note:
Dynamic cold load pickup is in addition to the four setting groups (A to D) which are
configured separately.
The dynamic cold load pickup feature operates with the time overcurrent protection
functions described in the sections 2.4 and 2.5. A set of alternative values can be set
for each stage.

2.6.1

Function Description
There are two criteria to determine if the protected equipment is de-energized:
Via a binary input, an auxiliary contact in the circuit breaker can be used to determine if the circuit breaker is open or closed.
The current flow monitoring threshold may be used to determine if the equipment is
de-energized.
You may select one of these criteria for the time overcurrent protection for phase currents (Section 2.4) and for that for residual current (Section 2.4). The device assigns
automatically the correct side or measuring location for current detection or the breaker auxiliary contact in accordance with the assignment of the associated protection
functions. The time overcurrent protection for earth current (Section 2.5) allows the
breaker criterion only if it is assigned to a certain side of the protected object (see also
Subsection 2.1.2 under margin header Assignment of Auxiliary 1-phase Measuring
Locations, page 32); otherwise exclusively the current criterion can be used.
If the device recognizes the protected equipment be de-energized via one of the criteria above, then the alternative pickup values will become effective for the overcurrent
stages once a specified time delay has elapsed. Figure 2-77 shows the logic diagram
for dynamic cold load pickup function. The time &%2SHQ7LPH controls how long the
equipment can be de-energized before the dynamic cold load pickup function is activated. When the protected equipment is re-energized (i.e. the device receives input
via a binary input that the assigned circuit breaker is closed or the assigned current
flowing through the breaker increases above the current flow monitoring threshold),
the active time $FWLYH7LPH is initiated. Once the active time has elapsed, the pickup values of the overcurrent stages return to their normal settings. The active time
controls how long dynamic cold load pickup settings remain in place once the protect-

ed object is re-energized. Upon re-energizing of the equipment, if the measured current values are below the normal pickup settings, an alternative time delay referred to
as the 6WRS7LPH is also initiated. As in the case with the active time, once this time
has elapsed, the pickup values of overcurrent stages change from the dynamic cold
load pickup values to their normal settings. The 6WRS7LPH controls how long dynamic cold load pickup settings remain in place given that measured currents are below
the normal pickup settings. To defeat this time from switching the overcurrent stages
pickup settings back to normal, it may be set to or blocked via the binary input !%/.

2.6 Dynamic Cold Load Pickup for Time Overcurrent Protection

If an overcurrent stage picks up while the dynamic settings are enabled, elapse of the
active time $FWLYH7LPH will not restore the normal pickup settings until dropout of
the overcurrent stage occurs based on the dynamic settings.
If the dynamic cold load pickup function is blocked via the binary input !%/2&.&/3,
all triggered timers will be immediately reset and all normal settings will be restored.
If blocking occurs during an on-going fault with dynamic cold load pickup functions enabled, the timers of all overcurrent stages will be stopped, and then restarted based
on their normal duration.
During power up of the protective relay with an open circuit breaker, the time delay &%
2SHQ7LPH is started, and is processed using the normal settings. Therefore, when
the circuit breaker is closed, the normal settings are effective.
Figure 2-76 shows a timing diagram, Figure 2-77 describes the logic for cold load pickup function as an example for time overcurrent protection for phase currents.

Setting the Function Parameters

General

Dynamic cold load pickup can only be enabled if address  &2/'/2$'3,&.83
was set to (QDEOHG. If this feature is not required, address  is set to 'LVDEOHG.
Under address  &2/'/2$'3,&.83 the function can be switched 21 or 2)).

Cold Load Criteria

You can determine the criteria for dynamic switchover to the cold load pickup values
for all protective functions which allow this switchover. Select the current criterion 1R
&XUUHQW or the breaker position criterion %UHDNHU&RQWDFW:
address  6WDUW&/33KDVH for the phase current stages,
address  6WDUW&/3,
for the residual current stages,
address  6WDUW&/3(DUWK for the earth current stages.
The current criterion takes the currents of that side or measuring location where the
corresponding protective function is assigned to. When using the breaker position criterion, the feedback information of the assigned breaker must inform the device about
the breaker position.
The time overcurrent protection for earth current allows the breaker criterion only if an
unequivocal relationship exists between its assigned side and the feedback information of the breaker.

Timers

There are no specific procedures on how to set the time delays at addresses  &%
2SHQ7LPH,  $FWLYH7LPH and  6WRS7LPH. These time delays must be
based on the specific loading characteristics of the equipment being protected, and
should be selected to allow the brief overloads associated with dynamic cold load conditions.

The dynamic pickup values and time delays associated with the time overcurrent

Single-Phase Time Overcurrent Protection


The single-phase time overcurrent protection can be assigned to either of the 1-phase
measured current input of the device (Section 2.1.4 under margin header Further 1Phase Protection Functions). This may be a normal or high-sensitivity input (Section 2.1.2 under margin header High-Sensitivity Auxiliary 1-phase Measuring Locations). In the latter case, a very sensitive pickup threshold is possible (smallest setting
3 mA at the current input).
It can be used for any desired single-phase application. Examples are high-impedance unit protection or highly sensitive tank leakage protection. These applications are
covered in the following subsections: Subsection 2.7.2 for high-impedance protection,
and Subsection 2.7.3 for high-sensitivity tank leakage protection.
The single-phase time overcurrent protection comprises two definite time delayed
stages which can be combined as desired. If you need only one stage, the other can
be set to infinity.

2.7.1

Function Description
The measured current is filtered by numerical algorithms. Because of the high sensitivity a particular narrow band filter is used.
For the single-phase I>> stage, the current measured at the assigned current input is
compared with the setting value 3KDVH,!!. Current above the pickup value is detected and annunciated. When the delay time 73KDVH,!! has expired, tripping
command is issued. The reset value is approximately 5 % below the pickup value for
currents above IN. Lower values require a higher hysteresis in order to avoid intermittent pickup on currents near the pickup value (e.g. 10 % at 0.2IN).
When high fault current occurs, the current filter can be bypassed in order to achieve
a very short tripping time. This is automatically done when the instantaneous value of
the current exceeds the set value I>> by the factor 22.
For the single-phase I> stage, the current measured at the assigned current input is
compared with the setting value 3KDVH,!. Current above the pickup value is detected and annunciated. When the delay time 73KDVH,! has expired, tripping
command is issued. The reset value is approximately 5 % below the pickup value for
currents above IN. Lower values require a higher hysteresis in order to avoid intermittent pickup on currents near the pickup value (e.g. 20 % at 0.1IN).
Both stages form a two-stage definite time overcurrent protection whose tripping characteristic is illustrated in Figure 2-78.
The logic diagram of the single-phase time overcurrent protection is shown in Figure
2-79.

High-Impedance Unit Protection

Application
Example

With the high-impedance scheme all current transformers at the limits of the protection
zone operate parallel to a common relatively high-ohmic resistance R whose voltage
is measured. With 7UT6 the voltage is registered by measuring the current through
the external resistor R at a sensitive 1-phase current measuring input.
The current transformers have to be of equal design and provide at least a separate
core for high-impedance protection. They also must have the same transformation
ratio and approximately the same knee-point voltage.
With 7UT6 the high-impedance principle is very suited for detection of earth faults in
transformers, generators, motors and shunt reactors in earthed systems. High-impedance protection can be used instead of or in addition to the restricted earth fault protection (see Section 2.3).
Figure 2-80 (left side) illustrates an application example for an earthed transformer
winding or an earthed motor/generator. The example on the right side shows a nonearthed transformer winding or an non-earthed motor/generator where the earthing of
the system is assumed somewhere else.

High-Impedance
Principle

Earth fault protection according to the high-impedance scheme

The high-impedance principle is explained on the basis of an earthed transformer


winding (Figure 2-81).
No zero sequence current will flow during normal operation, i.e. the starpoint current
is ISP = 0 and the line currents are 3I0 = IL1 + IL2 + IL3 = 0.
With an external earth fault (Figure 2-81, left side), whose fault current is supplied via
the earthed starpoint, the same current flows through the transformer starpoint and the
phases. The corresponding secondary currents (all current transformers having the
same transformation ratio) compensate each other, they are connected in series.
Across resistance R only a small voltage is generated. It originates from the inner resistance of the transformers and the connecting cables of the transformers. Even if
any current transformer experiences a partial saturation, it will become low-ohmic for
the period of saturation and creates a low-ohmic shunt resistance to the high-ohmic
resistor R. Thus, the high resistance of the resistor also has an stabilizing effect (the
so-called resistance stabilization).

Earth fault protection using the high-impedance principle

In case there is an earth fault in the protection zone (Figure 2-81, right side), a starpoint current ISP will be present for sure. The earthing conditions in the rest of the network determine how strong a zero sequence current from the system is. A secondary
current which is equal to the total fault current tries to pass through the resistor R.
Since the latter is high-ohmic, a high voltage emerges immediately. Therefore, the current transformers get saturated. The RMS voltage across the resistor approximately
corresponds to the knee-point voltage of the current transformers.
Resistance R is dimensioned such that, even with the very lowest earth fault current
to be detected, it generates a secondary voltage which is equal to the half knee-point
voltage of current transformers (see also notes on dimensioning in Subsection 2.7.4).
High-Impedance
Protection with
7UT6

With 7UT6 a highly sensitive measuring 1-phase input is used for high-impedance protection. As this is a current input, the protection detects current through the resistor
instead of the voltage across the resistor R.
Figure 2-82 shows the connection example. The 7UT6 is connected in series to resistor R and measures its current.
Varistor V limits the voltage when inner faults occur. High voltage peaks emerging with
transformer saturation are cut by the varistor. At the same time, voltage is smoothed
without reduction of the mean value.
For protection against hazardous voltages it is also important that the device is directly
connected to the earthed side of the current transformers so that the high voltage at
the resistor is kept away from the device.
For generators, motors and shunt reactors high-impedance protection can be used
analogously. All current transformers at the overvoltage side, the undervoltage side
and the current transformer at the starpoint have to be connected in parallel when using auto-transformers.
In principle, this scheme can be applied to every protected object. When applied as
busbar protection, for example, the device is connected to the parallel connection of
all feeder current transformers via the resistor.

Tank Leakage Protection

Application
Example

The tank leakage protection has the task to detect earth leakage even high-ohmic
between a phase and the frame of a power transformer. The tank must be isolated
from earth (refer to Figure 2-83). A conductor links the tank to earth, and the current
through this conductor is fed to a current input of the relay. When a tank leakage occurs, a fault current (tank leakage current) will flow through the earthing conductor to
earth. This tank leakage current is detected by the single-phase overcurrent protection
as an overcurrent; an instantaneous or delayed trip command is issued in order to disconnect all sides of the transformer.

A high-sensitivity single-phase current input is used for tank leakage protection.

Setting the Function Parameters

General

In address  3KDVH2&, the single-phase time overcurrent protection can


switched 21 or 2)). The option %ORFNUHOD\ allows to operate the protection but
the trip output relay is blocked.
The settings depend on the application. The setting ranges depend on whether a normal or a high-sensitivity current input is used. This was determined during assignment of the protection functions (Subsection 2.1.4 under Further 1-Phase Protection
Functions, page 51) and the properties of the 1-phase input (Subsection 2.1.2 under
High-Sensitivity Auxiliary 1-phase Measuring Locations, page 33).
If you have declared the type of the associated 1-phase current input as $$
LQSXW in address  and/or , you set the pickup value 3KDVH,!! in address , the pickup value 3KDVH,! in address . If you need only one
stage, set the other to .
If you have declared the type of the associated 1-phase current input as VHQVLWLY
LQSXW in address  and/or , you set the pickup value 3KDVH,!! in address , the pickup value 3KDVH,! in address . If you need only one
stage, set the other to .
If you need a trip time delay, set it in address  73KDVH,!! for the I>> stage,
and/or in address  73KDVH,! for the I> stage. With setting  s no delay takes
place.
The set times are pure delay times which do not include the inherent operating times
of the protection stages. If you set a time to the associated stage does not trip but
pickup annunciation will occur.
Special notes are given in the following for the use as high-impedance unit protection
and tank leakage protection.

Use as High-Impedance Protection

When used as high-impedance protection, only the pickup value of the single-phase
overcurrent protection is set on the 7UT6 to detect overcurrent at the assigned highly
sensitive 1-phase current input.
But, the entire function of the high-impedance unit protection is dependent on the coordination of the current transformer characteristics, the external resistor R and the
voltage across R. The following three header margins give information about these
considerations.

Current Transformer Data for High-Impedance Protection

All current transformers must have identical transformation ratio and nearly equal
knee-point voltage. This is usually the case if they are of equal design and identical
rated data. If the knee-point voltage is not stated, it can be approximately calculated
from the rated data of a CT as follows:

The rated current, rated power and accuracy limit factor are normally stated on the rating plate of the current transformer, e.g.

That means
IN = 5 A (from 800/5)
ALF = 10 (from 5P10)
PN = 30 VA
The internal burden is often stated in the test report of the current transformer. If not it
can be derived from a DC measurement on the secondary winding.
Calculation example:
Current transformer 800/5; 5P10; 30 VA with Ri = 0.3

Besides the CT data, the resistance of the longest connection lead between the CTs
and the 7UT6 device must be known.
Stability with HighImpedance Protection

The stability condition is based on the following simplified assumption: If there is an


external fault, one of the current transformers gets totally saturated. The other ones
will continue transmitting their (partial) currents. In theory, this is the most unfavourable case. Since, in practice, it is also the saturated transformer which supplies current, an automatic safety margin is guaranteed.
Figure 2-84 shows a simplified equivalent circuit. CT1 and CT2 are assumed as ideal
transformers with their inner resistances Ri1 and Ri2. Ra are the resistances of the connecting cables between current transformers and resistor R. They are multiplied by 2
as they have a go- and a return line. Ra2 is the resistance of the longest connecting
cable.
CT1 transmits current I1. CT2 shall be saturated. Because of saturation the transformer represents a low-resistance shunt which is illustrated by a dashed short-circuit line.
R >> (2Ra2 + Ri2) is a further prerequisite.

The voltage across R is then


UR I1 (2Ra2 + Ri2 )
It is assumed that the pickup value of the 7UT6 corresponds to half the knee-point voltage of the current transformers. In the balanced case results
UR = UKPV/2
This results in a stability limit ISL, i.e. the maximum through-fault current below which
the scheme remains stable:
U KPV 2
I SL = -------------------------------2 R a2 + R i2
Calculation example:
For the 5 A CT like above with UKPV = 75 V and Ri = 0.3
longest CT connection lead 22 m with 4 mm2 cross-section, results in Ra 0,1
U KPV 2
37.5 V
I SL = -------------------------------- = -------------------------------------------- = 75 A
2 R a2 + R i2 2 0.1 + 0.3
that is 15 rated current or 12 kA primary.
For the 1 A CT like above with UKPV = 350 V and Ri = 5
longest CT connection lead 107 m with 2.5 mm2 cross-section, results in Ra 0.75
U KPV 2
175 V
I SL = -------------------------------- = ------------------------------------------ = 27 A
2 R a2 + R i2 2 0.75 + 5
that is 27 rated current or 21,6 kA primary.
Sensitivity with
High Impedance
Protection

As before mentioned, high-impedance protection is to pick up with approximately half


the knee-point voltage of the current transformers. Resistance R can be calculated
from it.
Since the device measures the current flowing through the resistor, resistor and measuring input of the device are to be connected in series (see also Figure 2-82). Since,
furthermore, the resistance shall be high-ohmic (condition: R >> 2Ra2 + Ri2, as above
mentioned), the inherent resistance of the measuring input can be neglected. The resistance is then calculated from the pickup current Ipu and the half knee-point voltage:
U KPV 2
R = --------------------I pu

Calculation example:
For the 5 A CT like above with
required pickup value Ipu = 0.1 A (corresponding to 16 A primary)
U KPV 2 75 V 2
R = --------------------- = ------------------- = 375

For the 1 A CT like above

As this power only appears during earth faults for a short period of time, the rated power can be smaller by approx. factor 5.
The varistor (see also Figure 2-82) must be dimensioned such that it remains highohmic up to the knee-point voltage, e.g.
approx. 100 V for the 5 A CT example,
approx. 500 V for the 1 A CT example.
For 7UT6, the pickup value (0.1 A or 0.05 A in the example) is set in address 
3KDVH,!. Stage I>> is not required (Address  3KDVH,!! = ).
The trip command of the protection can be delayed in address  73KDVH,!.
This time delay is usually set to .
If a higher number of current transformers is connected in parallel, e.g. when using as
busbar protection with several feeders, the magnetizing currents of the transformers
connected in parallel cannot be neglected any more. In this case, the magnetizing currents at the half knee-point voltage (corresponds to the setting value) have to be
summed. These magnetizing currents reduce the current through the resistor R.
Therefore the actual pickup value will be correspondingly higher.
Use as Tank Leakage Protection

If the single-phase time overcurrent protection is used as tank leakage protection,


merely the pickup value for the assigned 1-phase current input is set on 7UT6.
The tank leakage protection is a highly sensitive overcurrent protection which detects
the leakage current between the isolated transformer tank and earth. Its sensitivity is
set in address  3KDVH,!. The I>> stage is not used (address  3KDVH
,!! = ).
The trip command can be delayed under address  73KDVH,!. Normally, this
delay time is set to .

Setting Overview
The following list indicates the setting ranges and the default settings of a rated secondary current IN = 1 A. For a rated secondary current of IN = 5 A these values have
to be multiplied by 5. The addresses  and  (for high-sensitivity input) are independent of the rated current.

Unbalanced Load Protection

General

Negative sequence protection detects unbalanced loads on the system. In addition, it


may be used to detect interruptions, faults, and polarity problems with current transformers. Furthermore, it is useful in detecting phase-to-ground, phase-to-phase, and
double phase-to-ground faults with magnitudes lower than the maximum load current.
Negative sequence protection is reasonable only for three-phase equipment. It is,
therefore, not available in case of 35272%-(&7 = SK%XVEDU or SKDVH
WUDQVI (address , see Subsection 2.1.1).
The application of unbalanced load protection to generators and motors has a special
significance. The negative sequence currents associated with unbalanced loads create counter-rotating fields in three-phase induction machines, which act on the rotor
at double frequency. Eddy currents are induced at the rotor surface, and local overheating at the transition between the slot wedges and the winding bundles takes
place.
In addition, the threat of thermal overload exists when motors are supplied by unbalanced system voltages. Because the motor represents a small negative sequence impedance, small voltage imbalances can lead to large negative sequence currents.
The unbalanced load protection operates always on the side of the protected object or
to the measuring location which it is assigned to (see Subsection 2.1.4 under Further
3-Phase Protection Functions, page 49, address ).
The unbalanced load protection consists of two definite time stages and one inverse
time stage which latter may operate according to an IEC or ANSI characteristic.

2.8.1

Function Description

Determination of
Unbalanced Load

2.8.1.1

The unbalanced load protection of 7UT6 uses numerical filters to dissect the phase
currents into their symmetrical components. If the negative sequence component of
the phase currents exceeds the pole open current 3ROH2SHQ&XUU of the concerned
side or measuring location, and all phase currents are less than four times the rated
current of the concerned side or measuring location, then the negative sequence current is fed into the current detector elements.

Definite Time Stages


The definite time characteristic is of two-stage design. When the negative sequence
current exceeds the set threshold ,! the timer 7,! is started and a corresponding
pickup message is output. When the negative sequence current exceeds the set
threshold ,!! of the high-set stage the timer 7,!! is started and a corresponding
pickup message is output.
When a delay time is expired trip command is issued (see Figure 2-85).

Inverse Time Stage


The inverse time overcurrent stage operates with a tripping characteristic either according to the IEC- or the ANSI-standard. The characteristic curves and the corresponding equations are represented in the Technical Data (Figures 4-7 and 4-8 in
Section 4.4). The inverse time characteristic superposes the definite time stages I2>>
and I2> (see Subsection 2.8.1.1).

Pickup, Trip

The negative sequence current I2 is compared with setting value ,S. When negative
sequence current exceeds 1.1 times the setting value, a pickup annunciation is generated. The tripping time is calculated from the negative sequence current according
to the characteristic selected. After expiration of the time period a tripping command
is output. Figure 2-86 shows the qualitative course of the characteristic. In this figure
the overlapping stage I2>> is represented as a dashed line.

Dropout

You can determine whether the dropout of the stage is to follow right after the threshold undershot or whether it is evoked by disk emulation. Right after means that the
pickup drops out when the pickup value of approx. 95 % is undershot. For a new pickup the time counter starts at zero.
The disk emulation evokes a dropout process (time counter is decrementing) which
begins after de-energization. This process corresponds to the back turn of a Ferrarisdisk (explaining its denomination disk emulation). In case several faults occur successively, it is ensured that due to the inertia of the Ferraris-disk the history is taken
into consideration and the time behaviour is adapted. This ensures a proper simulation
of the temperature rise of the protected object even for extremely fluctuating unbalanced load values. The reset begins as soon as 90 % of the setting value is undershot,
in correspondence to the dropout curve of the selected characteristic. Within the range
of the dropout value (approx. 95 % of the pickup value) and 90 % of the setting value,

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

173

2 Functions

the incrementing and the decrementing processes are in idle state. If 5 % of the setting
value is undershot, the dropout process is finished, i.e. when a new pickup is evoked,
the timer starts again at zero.
Logic

Figure 2-87 shows the logic diagram of the unbalanced load protection. The protection
may be blocked via a binary input. That way, pickups and time stages are reset.
When the tripping criterion leaves the operating range of the unbalanced load protection (all phase currents below the minimum current 3ROH2SHQ&XUU of the concerned measuring location or side or at least one phase current is greater than 4 IN),
the pickups of all unbalanced load stages drop off.

Setting the Function Parameters

General

Unbalanced load protection only makes sense with three-phase protected objects. For
35272%-(&7 = SK%XVEDU or SKDVHWUDQVI (address , see Subsection
2.1.1) the following settings are not available.
During configuration of the functional scope (Subsection 2.1.1, margin heading Special Cases, page 17) the type of characteristic was determined (address  81%$/
$1&(/2$'). In the following only settings for the characteristic selected can be performed. The definite time stages I2>> and I2> are always available.
The unbalanced load protection must have been assigned to a side of the main protected object or another 3-phase current measuring location (Subsection 2.1.4. under
margin header Further 3-Phase Protection Functions). Consider also the assignment of the measured current inputs of the device against the measuring locations
(current transformer sets) of the power plant (Subsection 2.1.2. under margin header
Assignment of 3-phase Measuring Locations).
In address  81%$/$1&(/2$' the function can be set to 21 or 2)). The option
%ORFNUHOD\ allows to operate the protection but the trip output relay is blocked.

2 Functions

Note:
If the unbalanced protection is assigned to a side of the main protected object, the current values are set referred to the nominal current of that sided (I/INS) as stated in
Subsection 2.1.3. In other cases, current values are set in amps.

Definite Time
Stages I2>>, I2>

A two-stage characteristic enables the user to set a short time delay (address  7
,!!) for the upper stage (address  or  ,!!) and longer time delay (address  7,!) for the lower stage (address  or  ,!). Stage I2>, for
example, can be used as alarm stage, stage I2>> as tripping stage. Setting ,!! to a
percentage higher than 60 % makes sure that no tripping is performed with stage I2>>
in case of phase failure.
The magnitude of the negative sequence current when one phase is lost, is
1
I2 = ------- I = 0.58 I
3
On the other hand, with more than 60 % negative sequence current, a two-phase fault
in the system may be assumed. Therefore, the delay time 7,!! must be coordinated with the time grading of the system.
On line feeders, negative sequence protection may serve to identify low-current unsymmetrical faults below the pickup values of the time overcurrent protection. In this
case:
a two-phase fault with fault current I produces a negative sequence current
1
I2 = ------- I = 0.58 I
3
a single-phase fault with fault current I produces a negative sequence current
1
I 2 = --- I = 0.33 I
3
With more than 60 % negative sequence current, a two-phase fault can be assumed.
The delay time 7,!! must be coordinated with the time grading of the system.
For a power transformer, negative sequence protection may be used as sensitive protection for low magnitude phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase faults. In particular,
this application is well suited for delta-wye transformers where low side phase-toground faults do not generate a high side zero sequence current.
The relationship between negative sequence currents and total fault current for phaseto-phase faults and phase-to-ground faults are valid for the transformer as long as the
turns ratio is taken into consideration.

To prevent false operation for faults in other zones of protection, the delay time 7,!
must be coordinated with the time grading of other relays in the system.
For generators and motors, the setting depends on the permissible unbalanced load
of the protected object. It is reasonable to set the I2> stage to the continuously permissible negative sequence current and a long time delay in order to obtain an alarm
stage. The I2>> stage is then set to a short-term negative sequence current with the
delay time permitted here.

Thermal Overload Protection


The thermal overload protection prevents damage to the protected object caused by
thermal overloading, particularly in case of power transformers, rotating machines,
power reactors and cables. Two methods of overload detection are available in 7UT6:
Overload calculation using a thermal replica according to IEC 60255-8,
Calculation of the hot-spot temperature and determination of the ageing rate according to IEC 60354.
You may select one of these two methods. The first one is characterized by easy handling and setting, the second needs some knowledge about the protected object and
its thermal characteristics and the input of the cooling medium temperature.

2.9.1
Principle

Overload Protection Using a Thermal Replica


The thermal overload protection of 7UT6 can be assigned to one of the sides of the
main protected object (selectable), i.e. it evaluates the currents flowing at this side.
Since the cause of overload is normally outside the protected object, the overload current is a through-flowing current.
The unit computes the temperature rise according to a thermal single-body model as
per the following thermal differential equation
2
1
I
d 1
-------- + ------- = ------- --------------------
th k I Nobj
dt th

with

actual valid temperature rise referred to the final temperature rise at


maximum permissible current of the assigned side of the protected object
k INobj,
th thermal time constant for heating up of the protected object,
k
k-factor which states the maximum permissible continuous current,
referred to the rated current of the assigned side of the protected object,
I
currently valid RMS current of the assigned side of the protected object,
INobj rated current of the assigned side of the protected object.

The solution of this equation under steady-state conditions is an e-function whose


asymptote shows the final temperature rise end. When the temperature rise reaches
the first settable temperature threshold alarm, which is below the final temperature
rise, a warning alarm is given in order to allow an early load reduction. When the second temperature threshold, i.e. the final temperature rise or tripping temperature, is
reached, the protected object is disconnected from the network. The overload protection can, however, also be set on $ODUP2QO\. In this case only an alarm is output
when the final temperature rise is reached.
The temperature rises are calculated separately for each phase in a thermal replica
from the square of the associated phase current. This guarantees a true RMS value
measurement and also includes the effect of harmonic content. The maximum calculated temperature rise of the three phases is decisive for evaluation of the thresholds.
The maximum permissible continuous thermal overload current Imax is described as a
multiple of the rated current INobj:

180

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.9 Thermal Overload Protection

Imax = k INobj
INobj is the rated current of the assigned side of the protected object:
For power transformers, the rated power of the assigned winding is decisive. The
device calculates this rated current from the rated apparent power of the transformer and the rated voltage of the assigned winding. For transformers with tap changer,
the non-regulated side must be used.
For generators, motors, or reactors, the rated object current is calculated by the device from the set rated apparent power and the rated voltage.
For short lines or busbars, the rated current was directly set.
In addition to the k-factor, the thermal time constant th as well as the alarm temperature rise alarm must be entered into the protection.
Apart from the thermal alarm stage, the overload protection also includes a current
overload alarm stage Ialarm, which can output an early warning that an overload current is imminent, even when the temperature rise has not yet reached the alarm or trip
temperature rise values.
The overload protection can be blocked via a binary input. In doing so, the thermal replica are also reset to zero.
Extension of the
Time Constant
for Machines

The differential equation mentioned above assumes a constant cooling represented


by the thermal time constant th = Rth Cth (thermal resistance times thermal capacitance). But, the thermal time constant of a self-ventilated machine during stand-still
differs substantially from that during operation because of the missing ventilation.
Thus, in this case, two time constants exist. This must be considered in the thermal
replica.
Stand-still of the machine is assumed when the current drops below the threshold 3R
OH2SHQ&XUU6 etc. (the minimum current of the feeding side below which the protected object is assumed to be switched off, refer also to Circuit Breaker Status in
Subsection 2.1.9).

Motor Startup
Recognition

On startup of electrical machines the temperature rise calculated by the thermal replica may exceed the alarm temperature rise or even the trip temperature rise. To avoid
an alarm or trip, the starting current is acquired and the increase of temperature rise
deriving from it is suppressed. This means that the calculated temperature rise is kept
constant as long as the starting current is detected.

Emergency Starting of Machines

When machines must be started for emergency reasons, operating temperatures


above the maximum permissible operating temperatures are allowed (emergency
start). Then exclusively the tripping signal can be blocked via a binary input
(!(PHU6WDUW2/). After startup and dropout of the binary input, the thermal
replica may still be greater than the trip temperature rise. Therefore the thermal replica
features a settable run-on time (7(0(5*(1&<) which is started when the binary input
drops out. It also suppresses the trip command. Tripping by the overload protection
will be defeated until this time interval elapses. This binary input only affects the trip
command. There is no effect on fault recording, nor does the thermal replica reset.

Hot-Spot Calculation and Determination of the Ageing Rate


The overload calculation according to IEC 60354 calculates two quantities relevant for
the protection function: the relative ageing and the hot-spot temperature in the protected object. The user can install up to 12 temperature measuring points (RTD = Resistance Temperature Detector) in the protected object. Via one or two RTD-boxes and a
serial data connection the measuring points inform the overload protection of the
7UT6 about the local coolant temperature. One of these points is selected to form the
relevant point for hot-spot calculation. This point shall be situated at the insulation of
the upper inner turn of the winding since this is the location of the hottest temperature.

182

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.9 Thermal Overload Protection

The relative ageing is acquired cyclically and summed up to a total ageing sum.
Cooling Methods

The hot-spot calculation is dependent on the cooling method. Air cooling is always
available. Two different methods are distinguished:
AN (Air Natural): natural air circulation and
AF (Air Forced): forced air circulation (ventilation).
If liquid coolants are used in combination with the two cooling methods above-described, the following types of coolants exist:
ON (Oil Natural = naturally circulating oil): Because of emerging differences in temperature the coolant (oil) circulates within the tank. The cooling effect is not very intense due to its natural convection. This cooling variant, however, is almost noiseless.
OF (Oil Forced = forced oil circulation): An oil pump makes the coolant (oil) move
within the tank. The cooling effect of this method is therefore more intense than with
the ON method.
OD (Oil Directed = forced-directed oil circulation): The coolant (oil) is directed
through the tank. Therefore the oil flow is intensified for sections which are extremely temperature-intensive. Therefore, the cooling effect is very good. This method
has the lowest temperature rise.
Figures 2-89 to 2-91 show examples of the cooling methods.

Hot-Spot
Calculation

OD cooling (Oil Directed)

The hot-spot temperature of the protected object is an important value of status. The
hottest spot relevant for the life-time of the transformer is usually situated at the insulation of the upper inner turn. Generally the temperature of the coolant increases from
the bottom up. The cooling method, however, affects the temperature gradient.
The hot-spot temperature is composed of two parts:
the temperature at the hottest spot of the coolant (included via RTD-box),
the temperature rise of the winding turn caused by the transformer load.
RTD-box 7XV566 can be used to acquire the temperature of the hottest spot. It converts the temperature value into numerical signals and sends them to the corresponding interface of device 7UT6. The RTD-box is able to acquire the temperature at up to
6 points of the transformer tank. Up to two RTD-boxes of this types can be connected
to a 7UT6.
The device calculates the hot-spot temperature from these data and the settings of the
characteristical properties. When a settable threshold (temperature alarm) is exceed-

ed, an annunciation and/or a trip is generated.


Hot-spot calculation is done with different equations depending on the cooling method.

h = o + H gr k + 0,15 [ ( o + H gr k ) 98 C ]

for k > 1

In this aspect, the load factor I/IN is determined from the currents of that side to which
the overload protection is assigned. The phase information is taken from the concerned phase in case of generators, motors, etc., or wye- or zigzag-connected transformer windings; in case of delta-connected transformer windings the difference current is taken. The nominal current IN is that of the corresponding side.
Ageing Rate Calculation

The life-time of a cellulose insulation refers to a temperature of 98 C or 208.4 F in


the direct environment of the insulation. Experience shows that an increase of 6 K results in half of the life-time. For a temperature which defers from the basic value of
98 C (208.4 F), the relative ageing rate V is given by
Ageing at h
( h 98 ) 6
V = ------------------------------------------ = 2
Ageing at 98 C
The mean value of the relative ageing rate L is given by the calculation of the mean
value of a certain period of time, i.e. from T1 to T2:
T2

1
L = -------------------
T2 T1

V dt
T1

With constant rated load, the relative ageing rate L is equal to 1. For values greater
than 1, accelerated ageing applies, e.g. if L = 2 only half of the life-time is expected
compared to the life-time under nominal load conditions.
According to IEC, the ageing range is defined from 80 C to 140 C (176 F to 284 F).
This is the operating range of the ageing calculation in 7UT6: Temperatures below
80 C (176 F) do not extent the calculated ageing rate; values greater than 140 C
(284 F) do not reduce the calculated ageing rate.
The above-described relative ageing calculation only applies to the insulation of the
winding and cannot be used for other failure causes.

Output of Results

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

The hot-spot temperature is calculated for the winding which corresponds to the side
of the main protected object assigned to the overload protection (Subsection 2.1.4 un-

185

2 Functions

der margin header Further 3-Phase Protection Functions, page 49). The calculation
includes the current of that side and the cooling temperature measured at a certain
measuring point. The phase information is taken from the concerned phase in case of
generators, motors, etc., or wye- or zigzag-connected transformer windings; in case
of delta-connected transformer windings the phase-difference currents are decisive
which correspond to the current flowing in the winding.
There are two thresholds which can be set: The output a warning (Stage 1) and an
alarm (Stage 2) signal. When the alarm signal is assigned to a trip output, it can also
be used for tripping the circuit breaker(s).
For the middle ageing rate, there is also a threshold for each of the warning and the
alarm signal.
The status can be read out from the operational measured values at any time. The information includes:
hot-spot temperature for each winding in C or F (as configured),
relative ageing rate expressed in per unit,
load reserve up to warning signal (Stage 1) expressed in per cent,
load reserve up to alarm signal (Stage 2) expressed in per cent.

2.9.3
General

Setting the Function Parameters


The overload protection can be assigned to any desired side of the main protected object. Since the cause of the overload current is outside the protected object, the overload current is a through-flowing current, the overload protection may be assigned to
a feeding or a non-feeding side. When setting the assignment of the protection functions to the sides of the protected object according to Subsection 2.1.4 (margin header
Further 3-Phase Protection Functions, page 49) you have performed this assignment under address . Respective notes are given there.
There are two methods for evaluation of overload conditions in 7UT6, as explained
above. During configuration of the protection function (Subsection 2.1.1), you had already decided under address  7+(5029(5/2$', whether the protection shall
operate according to the method of a thermal replica (7+(5029(5/2$' = WKHUPDO
UHSOLFD) or whether the calculation of the hot-spot temperature according to IEC
60354 (7+(5029(5/2$' = ,(&) shall be carried out. In the latter case, at least
one RTD-box 7XV566 must be connected to the device in order to inform the device
about the cooling medium temperature. The data concerning the RTD-box were entered to the device under address  57'&211(&7,21 (Subsection 2.1.1).
The thermal overload protection can be switched 21 or 2)) under address 
7+(5029(5/2$'. The option %ORFNUHOD\ allows to operate the protection but
the trip output relay is blocked. Furthermore $ODUP2QO\ can be set. With that latter
setting the protection function is active but only outputs an alarm when the tripping
temperature rise is reached, i.e. the output function 7K2YHUORDG75,3 is not active.

2.9 Thermal Overload Protection

k-Factor

The rated current of the side of the main protected object which is assigned to the
overload protection is taken as the base current for detecting an overload. The factor
k is set under address  .)$&725. It is determined by the relation between the
permissible thermal continuous current and this rated current:
I max
k = -----------I Nobj
When using the method with a thermal replica, it is not necessary to evaluate any absolute temperature nor the trip temperature since the trip temperature rise is equal to
the final temperature rise at k INobj. Manufacturers of electrical machines usually
state the permissible continuous current. If no data are available, k is set to 1.1 times
the rated current of the assigned side of the protected object. For cables, the permissible continuous current depends on the cross-section, the insulation material, the design and the method of installation, and can be derived from the relevant tables.
When using the method with hot-spot evaluation according to IEC 60354, set k = 1
since all remaining parameters are referred to the rated current of the assigned side
of the protected object.

Time Constant for


Thermal Replica

The thermal time constant th is set under the address  7,0(&2167$17. This
is also to be stated by the manufacturer. Please note that the time constant is set in

For rotating machines, the time constant as set under address  7,0(&2167$17
is valid as long as the machine is running. The machine will cool down extensively
slower during stand-still or running down if it is self-ventilated. This phenomenon is
considered by a higher stand-still time constant .)$&725 (address $) which
is set as a factor of the normal time constant. This parameter can only be altered with
DIGSI under Additional Settings.
If it not necessary to distinguish between different time constants, leave the factor .
)$&725 at  (default setting).
Alarm Stages with
Thermal Replica

By setting a thermal alarm stage $/$50 (address ) an alarm can be output
before the tripping temperature is reached, so that a trip can be avoided by early load
reduction or by switching over. The percentage is referred to the tripping temperature
rise. Note that the final temperature rise is proportional to the square of the current.
Example:
k-factor = 1.1
Alarm shall be given when the temperature rise reaches the final (steady-state) temperature rise at nominal current.
1
alarm = ----------- = 0.826
2
1.1
Setting value $/$50 =  %.
The current overload alarm setpoint ,$/$50 (address ) is stated referred to the
rated current of the applicable side and should be set equal to or slightly below the
permissible continuous current k INobj. It can also be used instead of the thermal
alarm stage. In this case the thermal alarm stage is set to 100 % and thus practically
ineffective.

Emergency Start
for Motors

The run-on time value to be entered at address $7(0(5*(1&< must ensure


that after an emergency start and dropout of the binary input !(PHU6WDUW2/ the
trip command is blocked until the thermal replica has fallen below the dropout threshold. This parameter can only be altered with DIGSI under Additional Settings.
The startup itself is only recognized if the startup current ,0272567$57 set in address $ is exceeded. Under each load and voltage condition during motor start,
the value must be overshot by the actual startup current. With short-time permissible
overload the value must not be reached. For other protected objects the setting will
not be changed. Thus the emergency start is disabled.

Temperature
Detectors

For the hot-spot calculation according to IEC 60354 the device must be informed on
the type of resistance temperature detectors (RTD) that will be used for measuring the
oil temperature, the one relevant for the hot-spot calculation and ageing determination. Up to 6 sensors can be used with one RTD-box 7XV566, with 2 boxes up to 12
sensors. In address  2,/'(757' the identification number of the resistance
temperature detector decisive for hot-spot calculation is set.
The characteristic values of the temperature detectors are set separately, see Section
2.10.

2.9 Thermal Overload Protection

Hot-Spot Stages

There are two annunciation stages for the hot-spot temperature. To set a specific hotspot temperature value (expressed in C) which is meant to generate the warning signal (Stage 1), use address  +27632767. Use address  +276327
67 to indicate the corresponding alarm temperature (Stage 2). Optionally, it can
be used for tripping of circuit breakers if the outgoing message 2/KVSRW75,3
(FNo ) is allocated to a trip relay.
If address  7(0381,7 = )DKUHQKHLW is set (Subsection 2.1.3, margin heading
Temperature Unit), thresholds for warning and alarm temperatures are expressed in
Fahrenheit degrees (addresses  and ).
If the temperature unit is changed in address  after having set the thresholds for
temperature, these thresholds for the temperature unit changed must be set again in
the corresponding addresses.

Ageing Rate

For ageing rate L thresholds can also be set, i.e. for the warning signal (Stage 1) in
address  $*5$7(67 and for alarm signal (Stage 2) in address  $*
5$7(67. This information is referred to the relative ageing, i.e. L = 1 is reached
at 98 C or 208 F at the hot spot. L > 1 means an accelerated ageing, L < 1 a delayed
ageing.

RTD-Boxes for Overload Detection


For overload protection with hot-spot calculation and relative ageing rate determination, the temperature of the hottest spot of the coolant is required. At least one resistance temperature detector (RTD) must be installed at the hot-spot location which informs the device about this temperature via a RTD-box 7XV566. One RTD-box is able
to process up to 6 RTDs. One or two RTD-boxes can be connected to the 7UT6.

2.10.1 Function Description


An RTD-box 7XV566 is suited for up to 6 measuring points (RTDs) in the protected
object, e.g. in the transformer tank. The RTD-box takes the coolant temperature of
each measuring point from the resistance value of the temperature detectors connected with a two- or three-wire line (Pt100, Ni100 or Ni120) and converts it to a digital
value. The digital values are output at the serial interface RS485.
One or two RTD-boxes can be connected to the service or additional interface of the
7UT6. Thus, up to 6 or 12 measuring points (RTDs) can be processed. For each temperature detector, characteristic data as well as alarm (stage 1) and trip (stage 2) temperature can be set.
The RTD-box also acquires thresholds of each single measuring point. The information is then passed on via an output relay. For further information refer to the instruction manual of the RTD-box.

2.10.2 Setting the Function Parameters


For RTD1 (temperature detector for measuring point 1) the type of temperature detector is set in address $ 57'7<3(. 3W, 1L and 1L are
available. If there is no measuring point for RTD1, set 57'7<3( = 1RWFRQQHFW
HG. This parameter can only be altered with DIGSI under Additional Settings.
Address $ 57'/2&$7,21 informs the device on the mounting location of
RTD1. 2LO, $PELHQW, :LQGLQJ, %HDULQJ and 2WKHU are available. This parameter
can only be altered with DIGSI under Additional Settings.
Furthermore, alarm and trip temperature can be set. Depending on the temperature
unit selected in the Power System Data (Subsection 2.1.3 in address  7(03
81,7, page 36), the alarm temperature can be expressed in Celsius (C) (address
 57'67$*() or Fahrenheit (F) (address  57'67$*(). The trip
temperature expressed in Celsius (C) is set in address  57'67$*(. To
express it in Fahrenheit (F) use address  57'67$*(.
For other temperature detectors connected to the first RTD-box make settings correspondingly:

Overexcitation Protection

General

The overexcitation protection is used to detect increased overflux or overinduction


conditions in generators and transformers. An increase in induction above the rated
value leads very quickly to saturation of the iron core and to large eddy current losses
which cause impermissible temperature rise in the iron.
The overexcitation protection picks up when the permissible limit of induction is exceeded in the core of the protected object (e.g. power station unit transformer). Increased induction occurs, for example, when the power station block is disconnected
from the system from full-load, and the voltage regulator either does not operate or
does not operate sufficiently fast to control the associated voltage rise. Similarly, decrease in frequency (speed), e.g. in island systems, can cause increased induction in
the transformer.

2.11.1 Function Description


Measured Values

The use of the overexcitation protection presumes that measured voltages are connected to the device; this is not possible in model 7UT635. Overexcitation protection
makes no sense on 1-phase busbar protection and is, therefore, not available for this
application.
The overexcitation protection measures the ratio voltage/frequency (U/f) which is proportional to the induction B of the iron core (with invariable dimensions).
If the quotient U/f is set in relation to the voltage and frequency under nominal conditions of the protected object UNobj/fN, a direct measure of the induction B, referred to
the induction BNobj under nominal conditions, is achieved. All constant quantities
cancel each other:
U
--------------U
B
Uf
Nobj
-------------- = --------------- = -----------------------B Nobj
U Nobj f N
f
----fN
The benefit of these referred values is that no explicit calculations are necessary. You
can enter all values directly referred to the induction under nominal conditions of the
protected object. The device has been informed about the nominal values of the protected object and the voltage transformers according to Subsection 2.1.3.
The maximum of the three phase-to-phase voltages is decisive for the calculation. The
voltages are filtered by numerical algorithms. The specified frequency range is
fN 10 %.

Characteristics

The overexcitation protection includes two definite time stages and a further thermal
characteristic which latter forms an approximate replica of the temperature rise
caused by overflux in the protected object.
As soon as a threshold (warning stage 8I!) has been exceeded, pickup indication
is output and a timer 78I! starts. A warning message is transmitted subsequent
to the expiration of this timer. A further high-set stage 8I!! serves as short-delay

Figure 2-92

Logic diagram of the overexcitation protection (simplified)

The thermal replica is realized by a counter which is incremented in accordance with


the value U/f calculated from the measure voltages. A prerequisite is that the U/f value
has exceeded the pickup value 8I! of the warning stage. If the counter reaches a
level corresponding with the set trip characteristic, trip command is given.
The trip signal is cancelled as soon as the value falls below the pickup threshold and
the counter is decremented according to the set cool-down rate.
The thermal characteristic is specified by 8 value pairs concerning the U/f value (referred to nominal value) and the associated trip time. In most cases, the prespecified
characteristic related to standard transformers provides for sufficient protection. If this
characteristic does not correspond to the actual thermal behaviour of the object to be
protected, each desired characteristic can be implemented by entering user-specific
trip times for the specified U/f overexcitation values. Intermediate values are determined by a linear interpolation within the device.
The counter can be reset to zero by means of a blocking input or a reset input. The
internal upper limit of the thermal replica is 150 % of trip temperature rise.

2.11.2 Setting the Function Parameters


General

Precondition for use of the overexcitation protection is that measured voltages are
connected to the device and that a 3-phase object has been selected during configuration of the protection functions. Additionally, the overexcitation protection can only
operate if it has been configured under address  29(5(;&3527 = (QDEOHG.
The overexcitation protection can be switched 21 or 2)) under address 
29(5(;&3527. The option %ORFNUHOD\ allows to operate the protection but the
trip output relay is blocked.

Definite Time
Stages

The limit-value setting at address  8I! is based on the continuously permissible induction value related to the nominal induction (B/BN) specified by the manufacturer of the object to be protected. This setting determines the pickup of the warning
stage as well as the minimum value for the thermal stage (see below).
After the time 78I! (address ) has expired (approx 10 s) alarm is output.
Strong overexcitation endangers the protected object after short time. The high-set
stage 8I!! (address ) should, therefore be only shortly delayed (approx. 1 s)
by the time 78I!! (address ).
The set times are additional time delays which do not include the inherent operating
time (measuring time, dropout time) of the protection. If you set a time delay to the
associated stage does not trip; nevertheless, a pickup indication is output.

2.11 Overexcitation Protection

The thermal characteristic is intended to simulate the temperature rise of the iron core
due to overflux. The heating-up characteristic is approximated by 8 time values for the
8 predefined induction values B/BNobj (reduced U/f). Intermediate values are gained
in the device by linear interpolation.
If no instructions of the manufacturer are available, the preset standard characteristic
should be used; this corresponds to a standard Siemens transformer (Figure 2-93).

protection on the assumption that the setting for the pickup threshold (parameter 
8I!) was chosen higher or lower than the first setting value of the thermal characteristic.
Cooling-Down Time

The tripping by the thermal replica drops out by the time of the pickup threshold dropout. However, the counter content is reset to zero with the cooling-down time at address 7&22/'2:1. In this context, this parameter is defined as the time required by the thermal replica to cool down from 100 % to 0 %.

Circuit Breaker Failure Protection

2.12.1 Function Description


General

The circuit breaker failure protection provides rapid backup fault clearance, in the
event that the circuit breaker fails to respond to a trip command from a feeder protection.
Whenever e.g. the differential protection or any internal or external short-circuit protection function of a feeder issues a trip command to the circuit breaker, this is repeated to the breaker failure protection (Figure 2-95). A timer TBF in the breaker failure
protection is started. The timer runs as long as a trip command is present and current
continues to flow through the breaker poles.

Normally, the breaker will open and interrupt the fault current. The current monitoring
stage CBI> quickly resets (typically 1/2 AC cycle) and stops the timer TBF.
If the trip command is not carried out (breaker failure case), current continues to flow
and the timer runs to its set limit. The breaker failure protection then issues a command to trip the adjacent breakers and interrupt the fault current.
The reset time of the feeder protection is not relevant because the breaker failure protection itself recognizes the interruption of the current.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.12 Circuit Breaker Failure Protection

For protection functions where the tripping criterion is not dependent on current (e.g.
overexcitation protection or Buchholz protection), current flow is not a reliable criterion
to determine the correct response of the breaker. In such cases, the circuit breaker
position can be derived from the auxiliary contacts of the breaker or from the feed-back
information of the integrated control function. Therefore, instead of monitoring the current, the condition of the breaker position is monitored (see Figure 2-96).

7UT6

Simplified function diagram of circuit breaker failure protection controlled by the


circuit breaker auxiliary contact(s)

Normally, both criteria, i.e. current flow as well as breaker position indication, are processed in 7UT6. If only one of the criteria is intended to be considered, this can be
achieved by corresponding configuration (Subsections 2.1.4 and 2.1.5).
It is imperative that the measuring point of the currents and the monitored circuit
breaker belong together! Both must be located at the supply side of a protected object.
In Figure 2-95 the current is measured at the busbar side of the transformer (= supply
side), therefore the circuit breaker at the busbar side is monitored. The adjacent circuit
breakers are those of the busbar illustrated.
With generators the breaker failure protection usually affects the network breaker. In
cases other than that, the supply side must be the relevant one.
Initiation

Figure 2-97 shows a logic diagram of the circuit breaker failure protection.
The breaker failure protection can be initiated by internal protective function of the
7UT6, i.e. trip commands of protective functions or via CFC (internal logic functions),
or by external trip signals via a binary input. Both sources are processed in the same
way but separately annunciated.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

207

2 Functions

The breaker failure protection checks now the continuation of current flow through the
breaker to be monitored. Additionally, the breaker position (read from the feedback of
the auxiliary contacts) is checked provided associated feedback information is available.
The current criterion is fulfilled if at least one of the three phase currents exceeds a set
threshold value, e.g. 3ROH2SHQ&XUU6 if the breaker failure protection is assigned
to side 1, see also Subsection 2.1.9 under margin Circuit Breaker Status (page 67).
Special features detect the instant of current interruption. With sinusoidal currents,
current interruption is detected after approx. 1/2 AC cycle. With aperiodic DC current
components in the fault current and/or in the current transformer secondary circuit
after interruption (e.g. current transformers with linearized core), or saturation of the
current transformers caused by the DC component in the fault current, it may take one
AC cycle until the interruption of the primary current is reliably detected.
Evaluation of the breaker auxiliary contacts is carried out only when no current flow is
detected at the instant of initiation, i.e. the trip command of a protection function (internal or external) which is to start the breaker failure protection. In this case the breaker is assumed to be open as soon as the auxiliary contact criterion indicates open
breaker.
Once the current flow criterion has picked up before the trip signal from the initiating
protection, the circuit breaker is assumed to be open as soon as the current disappears, even if the associated auxiliary contact does not (yet) indicate that the circuit
breaker has opened. This gives preference to the more reliable current criterion and
avoids false operation due to a defect e.g. in the auxiliary contact mechanism or circuit. If the auxiliary contacts indicate open breaker even though current is flowing, an
alarm is given (FNos  to ).
If both positions of the breaker are indicated (NO contact and NC contact via doublepoint indication) the auxiliary contact criterion is not evaluated if, at the instant of initiation, an intermediate position is indicated, but only the current criterion. On the other
hand, if the breaker failure protection is already started, the breaker is assumed to
have opened as soon as it is no longer indicated as closed, either in intermediate position.
Initiation can be blocked via the binary input !%/2&.%NU)DLO (FNo ) (e.g.
during testing of the feeder protection relay).
Delay Times and
Breaker Failure Trip

The breaker failure protection in 7UT6 can be operated single-stage or two-stage.


With single-stage breaker failure protection, the trip command is routed to the adjacent
circuit breakers should the local feeder breaker fail (refer to Figure 2-95 or 2-96). The
adjacent circuit breakers are all those which must trip in order to interrupt the fault current, i.e. the breakers which feed the busbar or the busbar section to which the feeder
under consideration is connected.
After initiation the timer 7 is started. When this time has elapsed, the indication %)
775,3 EXV (FNo ) appears which is also intended for trip of the adjacent
breakers.
With two-stage breaker failure protection, the trip command of the initiating protection
is usually repeated, after a first time stage 7, to the feeder circuit breaker, often via
a second trip coil, that is if the breaker has not responded to the original trip command.
This is achieved via the output indication %)775,3 ORF (FNo ). A second time stage 7 monitors the response to this repeated trip command and is used
to trip the adjacent breakers of the busbar or busbar section, if the fault has not yet

2 Functions

Initiation

Three statements are essential for the correct initiation of the circuit beaker failure protection:
Current flow monitoring verifies that current flow stops after the trip command has
been issued to the breaker to be monitored. It uses the values set in the General Protection Data (Power System Data 2) (Subsection 2.1.9 under margin Circuit Breaker
Status, page 67). The decisive value is the setting assigned to the side or measuring
location that indicates the current of the monitored circuit breaker (addresses  to
). With the circuit breaker open, the current will certainly be below this value.
Assignment of the breaker auxiliary contacts or feed-back information has been assigned as described in Subsection 2.1.5. The corresponding binary inputs must have
been configured as well.
The trip command for the monitored breaker is determined by address  or 
67$57:,7+5(/ (depending on the version of the device). Chose the number of
the output relay which shall trip the breaker to be monitored. Since 7UT6 will normally
trip several circuit breakers by the various protection functions, the device must be informed about which trip command is decisive for the initiation of the breaker failure
protection. If the breaker failure protection is intended to be initiated also by external
trip commands (for the same breaker) the device has to be informed about this trip via
the binary input !%UN)DLOH[W65& (FNo ).

Two-Stage Breaker
Failure Protection

In two-stage operation, the trip command is sent after a delay time 7 (address )
to the locally monitored feeder circuit breaker, normally to a separate trip coil of the
breaker.
If the circuit breaker does not respond to the repeated trip command, the protection
trips after a second waiting time 7 (address ) the adjacent circuit breakers, i.e.
those of the busbar or the affected busbar section and, if applicable, also the circuit
breaker at the die remote end, if the fault has not yet been eliminated.
The delay times are determined from the maximum operating time of the monitored
circuit breaker, the reset time of the current detectors of the breaker failure protection,
plus a safety margin which allows for any tolerance of the delay timers. The time sequences are illustrated in Figure 2-98 by an example. For sinusoidal currents one can
assume that the reset time of the current detectors is about 1/2 cycle but if current
transformer saturation is expected then 11/2 cycles should be assumed as worst case.

The timer 7 (address ) is then set to since it is not needed.

Processing of External Signals

2.13.1 Function Description


External Trip
Commands

Two desired trip signals from external protection or supervision units can be incorporated into the processing of the differential protection 7UT6. The signals are coupled
into the device via binary inputs. Like the internal protection and supervision signals,
the can be annunciated, delayed, transmitted to the output trip relays, and blocked.
This allows to include mechanical protective devices (e.g. pressure switch, Buchholz
protection) in the processing of 7UT6.
The minimum trip command duration set for all protective functions are also valid for
these external trip commands. (Subsection 2.1.3 under Trip Command Duration,
page 53, address $).
Figure 2-100 shows the logic diagram of one of these external trip commands. Two of
these functions are available. The function numbers FNo are illustrated for the external trip command 1.

Transformer
Messages

In addition to the external trip commands as described above, some typical messages
from power transformers can be incorporated into the processing of the 7UT6 via binary inputs. This prevents the user from creating user specified annunciations.
These messages are the Buchholz alarm, Buchholz trip and Buchholz tank alarm as
well as gassing alarm of the oil.

Blocking Signal for


External Faults

Sometimes for transformers so-called sudden pressure relays (SPR) are installed in
the tank which are meant to switch off the transformer in case of a sudden pressure
increase. Not only transformer failures but also high traversing fault currents originating from external faults can lead to a pressure increase.
External faults are quickly recognized by 7UT6 (refer also to Subsection 2.2.1, margin
heading Add-on Stabilization during External Fault, page 76). A blocking signal can
be created by means of a CFC logic in order to prevent from erroneous trip of the SPR.
Such a logic can be created according to Figure 2-101, for example.

Monitoring Functions
The device incorporates comprehensive monitoring functions which cover both hardware and software; the measured values are continuously checked for plausibility, so
that the CT circuits are also included in the monitoring system to a large extent. Furthermore, binary inputs are available for supervision of the trip circuit.

2.14.1 Function Description


2.14.1.1 Hardware Monitoring
The complete hardware including the measurement inputs and the output relays is
monitored for faults and inadmissible states by monitoring circuits and by the processor.
Auxiliary and
Reference Voltages

The processor voltage is monitored by the hardware as the processor cannot operate
if the voltage drops below the minimum value. In that case, the device is not operational. When the correct voltage has re-established the processor system is restarted.
Failure or switch-off of the supply voltage sets the system out of operation; this status
is signalled by a fail-safe contact. Transient dips in supply voltage will not disturb the
function of the relay (see also Subsection 4.1.2 in the Technical Data).
The processor monitors the offset and the reference voltage of the ADC (analog-todigital converter). In case of inadmissible deviations the protection is blocked; persistent faults are signalled.

Back-up Battery

The back-up battery guarantees that the internal clock continues to work and that metered values and alarms are stored if the auxiliary voltage fails. The charge level of the
battery is checked regularly. If the voltage drops below the permissible minimum the
alarm )DLO%DWWHU\ (FNo ) is output.

Memory Modules

All working memories (RAMs) are checked during start-up. If a fault occurs, the start
is aborted and an LED starts flashing. During operation the memories are checked
with the help of their checksum.
For the program memory, the cross-check sum is cyclically generated and compared
to a stored reference program cross-check sum.
For the parameter memory, the cross-check sum is cyclically generated and compared to the cross-check sum that is refreshed after each parameter change.
If a fault occurs the processor system is restarted.

Sampling
Frequency

216

The sampling frequency and the synchronism between the ADC (analog-to-digital
converters) is continuously monitored. If deviations cannot be corrected by another
synchronization, the device sets itself out of operation and the red LED Blocked
lights up; the Device OK relay drops off and signals the malfunction by its life contact.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.14 Monitoring Functions

2.14.1.2 Software Monitoring


Watchdog

For continuous monitoring of the program sequences, a watchdog timer is provided in


the hardware (hardware watchdog) which will reset and completely restart the processor system in the event of processor failure or if a program falls out of step.
A further software watchdog ensures that any error in the processing of the programs
will be recognized. Such errors also lead to a reset of the processor.
If such an error is not eliminated by restarting, another restart attempt is initiated. If the
fault is still present after three restart attempts within 30 s, the protection system will
take itself out of service, and the red LED Blocked lights up. The Device OK relay
drops off and signals the malfunction by its healthy status contact.

2.14.1.3 Monitoring of Measured Quantities


The device detects and signals most of the interruptions, short-circuits, or wrong connections in the secondary circuits of current or voltage transformers (an important
commissioning aid). For this the measured values are checked in background routines
at cyclic intervals, as long as no pickup condition exists.
Current Balance

In healthy network operation it can be expected that the currents will be approximately
balanced. The monitoring of the measured values in the device checks this balance
for each 3-phase measuring location. For this the lowest phase current is set in relation to the highest. An imbalance is detected, e.g. for measuring location 1, when
|Imin | / |Imax |
Imax / IN

<

%$/)$&7,0 provided that

> %$/,/,0,70 / IN

Imax is the highest, Imin the lowest of the three phase currents. The balance factor
%$/)$&7,0 represents the degree of imbalance of the phase currents, the
limiting value %$/,/,0,70 is the lower threshold of the operating range of this
monitoring function (see Figure 2-102). Both parameters can be set. The resetting
ratio is approx. 97 %.
Current balance monitoring is available separate for each 3-phase measuring location. It has no meaning with single-phase busbar protection and does not operate in
this case. Unsymmetrical condition is indicated for the corresponding measuring location with the alarm, e.g. )DLOEDODQ,0 (FNo ). The common message
)DLO,EDODQFH (FNo ) appears for all measuring locations.

In healthy network operation it can be expected that the voltages are nearly balanced.
If measured voltages are connected to the device, this symmetry is checked by the
device. The lowest phase-to-phase voltage is set in relation to the highest. An imbalance is detected when
|Umin | / |Umax | <

%$/)$&7258 provided that |Umax| > %$/$1&(8/,0,7

Umax is the highest, Umin the lowest of the three phase-to-earth voltages. The symmetry factor %$/)$&7258 is the measure for the asymmetry of the phase voltages,
the limiting value %$/$1&(8/,0,7 is the lower threshold of the operating range of
this monitoring function (see Figure 2-103). Both parameters can be set. The resetting
ratio is approx. 97 %.
This fault is indicated with the alarm )DLO8EDODQFH.

Voltages Sum

If measured voltages are connected to the device and these are used, voltage sum
supervision is possible. A further prerequisite is that the displacement voltage (e-n
voltage of an open delta connection) at the same voltage measuring point is connected to the 4th voltage input U4 of the device. Then the sum of the three digitized phase
voltages must equal three times the zero sequence voltage. Errors in the voltage
transformer circuits are detected when

>

25 V.

The factor kU allows for a difference of the transformation ratio between the displacement voltage input and the phase voltage inputs. Due to the settings of the nominal
voltages and ratios (Subsection 2.1.3 under margin heading Voltage Transformer Data, page 48) the device is informed about these data. The reset ratio is approx. 97 %.
This fault is reported by )DLO83K(.
Current Phase
Sequence

To detect swapped connections in the current input circuits, the direction of rotation of
the phase currents for three-phase application is checked. Therefore the sequence of
the zero crossings of the currents (having the same sign) is checked for each 3-phase
measuring location. For single-phase busbar differential protection and single-phase
transformers this function would not be of any use and is thus disabled.
Especially the unbalanced load protection requires clockwise rotation. If rotation in the
protected object is reverse, this must be considered during the configuration of the
general power system data (Subsection 2.1.3, margin heading Phase Sequence).
Phase rotation is checked by supervising the phase sequence of the currents, i.e. for
clockwise rotation.
IL1 before IL2 before IL3
Supervision of current rotation requires a minimum current of
|IL1|, |IL2|, |IL3| > 0.5 IN.
If the measured rotation differs from the set rotation, the annunciation for the corresponding measuring location is output, e.g. )DLO3K6HT,0 (FNo ). At the
same time, the common annunciation appears: )DLO3K6HT, (FNo ).

Voltage Phase
Sequence

If measured voltages are connected to the device and these are used, the voltage
phase rotation is supervised. On clockwise phase rotation, the sequence of the zero
crossings of the 3-phase voltages (having the same sign) is
UL1 before UL2 before UL3.
This check is made as long as the voltages have a magnitude of at least
|UL1|, |UL2|, |UL3| > 40 V/3
Wrong phase sequence is alarmed with )DLO3K6HT8 (FNo )

Broken-Wire

During steady-state operation the broken wire monitoring registers interruptions in the
secondary circuit of the current transformers. In addition to the hazardous potential
caused by high voltages in the secondary circuit, this kind of interruptions simulates
differential currents to the differential protection, such as those evoked by faults in the
protected object.
The broken-wire monitor scans the transient behaviour of the currents of each phase
of each 3-phase measuring location. The instantaneous currents are checked for plausibility and continuity. If an instantaneous value does not correspond with the expected value, a broken wire is considered. If the current decays strongly or drops abruptly
to 0 (from > 0.1IN), or no zero crossing is registered, broken wire is assumed. The
currents flowing in other phases must not exceed 2 IN at the same time.
The differential protection and the restricted earth fault protection are blocked immediately. The protection functions which react on unsymmetrical currents are blocked

2 Functions

as well provided they are assigned to the defective measuring location: the time overcurrent protection for residual current and the unbalanced load protection. The device
issues the message %URNHQ,ZLUH indicating also the affected phase and measuring location.
The blocking is cancelled as soon as the device is again supplied with current in the
relevant phase.
Detection of a broken wire is restricted by technical limits: A broken wire in the secondary circuit can, of course, only be detected when a steady state current has been
flowing through the respective phase. Furthermore, a wire break at the instant of zero
crossing in current cannot always be detected reliably. No expected value can be calculated when the frequency is out of the operation frequency (fN 10 %).
Note that electronic test devices do not simulate the correct behaviour of broken wire
so that pickup may occur during such tests.

2.14.1.4 Trip Circuit Supervision


The differential protection relay 7UT6 is equipped with an integrated trip circuit supervision. Depending on the number of available binary inputs that are not connected to
a common potential, supervision modes with one or two binary inputs can be selected.
If the allocation of the necessary binary inputs does not comply with the selected monitoring mode, an alarm is given (7ULS&3URJ)DLO).
Supervision Using
Two Binary Inputs

If two binary inputs are used, they are connected according to Figure 2-104, one in
parallel to the assigned command relay contact of the protection and the other parallel
to the circuit breaker auxiliary contact.

7UT6 Manual

2.14 Monitoring Functions

A precondition for the use of the trip circuit supervision is that the control voltage for
the circuit breaker is higher than the total of the minimum voltages drops at the two
binary inputs (UCtrl > 2UBImin). As at least 19 V are needed at each binary input, supervision can be used with a control voltage higher than 38 V.
Depending on the state of the trip relay and the circuit breakers auxiliary contact, the
binary inputs are triggered (logic state H in Table 2-8) or short-circuited (logic state
L).
A state in which both binary inputs are not activated (L) is only possible in intact trip
circuits for a short transition period (trip relay contact closed but circuit breaker not yet
open).
This state is only permanent in the event of interruptions or short-circuits in the trip circuit or a battery voltage failure. Therefore, this state is the supervision criterion.

The states of the two binary inputs are interrogated periodically, approximately every
500 ms. Only after n = 3 of these consecutive state queries have detected a fault an
alarm is given (see Figure 2-105). These repeated measurements result in a delay of
this alarm and thus avoid that an alarm is given during short-time transient periods.
After the fault is removed in the trip circuit, the fault message is reset automatically after the same time delay.

Supervision Using
One Binary Input

The binary input is connected in parallel to the respective command relay contact of
the protection device according to Figure 2-106. The circuit breaker auxiliary contact
is bridged with the help of a high-ohmic substitute resistor R.
The control voltage for the circuit breaker should be at least twice as high as the minimum voltage drop at the binary input (UCtrl > 2UBImin). Since at least 19 V are necessary for the binary input, this supervision can be used with a control voltage higher
than 38 V.
An calculation example for the substitute resistance of R is shown in Subsection 3.1.2,
margin Trip Circuit Supervision.

Note: The diagram shows the circuit breaker in closed state.

Figure 2-106 Principle of the trip circuit supervision with one binary input

In normal operation the binary input is energized when the trip relay contact is open
and the trip circuit is healthy (logic state H), as the monitoring circuit is closed via the
auxiliary contact (if the circuit breaker is closed) or via the substitute resistor R. The
binary input is short-circuited and thus deactivated only as long as the tripping relay is
closed (logic state L).
If the binary input is permanently deactivated during operation, an interruption in the
trip circuit or a failure of the (trip) control voltage can be assumed.
As the trip circuit supervision is not operative during a system fault condition (pickedup status of the device), the closed trip contact does not lead to an alarm. If, however,
the trip contacts of other devices are connected in parallel, the alarm must be delayed
(see also Figure 2-107). After the fault in the trip circuit is removed, the alarm is reset
automatically after the same time.

2.14.1.5 Fault Reactions


Depending on the kind of fault detected, an alarm is given, the processor is restarted
or the device is taken out of operation. If the fault is still present after three restart attempts the protection system will take itself out of service and indicate this condition
by drop-off of the life contact, thus indicating the device failure. The red LED Blocked
on the device front lights up, provided that there is an internal auxiliary voltage, and
the green LED RUN goes off. If the internal auxiliary voltage supply fails, all LEDs

2.14.1.6 Group Alarms


Certain messages of the monitoring functions are already combined to group alarms.
Table 2-10 shows an overview of these group alarms an their composition. Table 210 shows these group alarms and what they are composed of. Alarms may be nested;
for instance, the alarm )DLO3K6HT,0 (for the individual measuring location) is
included in the group alarm for current phase sequence monitoring, which is included
as the alarm )DLO3K6HT, in the global phase sequence monitoring, which is
in turn part of the Alarm Sum Event as )DLO3K6HT.
Note that the group alarms can only comprise those individual alarms which are possible in the actual version and configuration of the device.

2.14.1.7 Setting Errors


If setting of the configuration and function parameters is carried out according to the
order they appear in this chapter, conflicting settings may be avoided. Nevertheless,
changes made in settings, during allocation of binary inputs and outputs or during assignment of measuring inputs may lead to inconsistencies endangering proper operation of protective and supplementary functions.
The device 7UT6 checks settings for inconsistencies and reports them. For instance,
the restricted earth fault protection cannot be applied if there is no measuring input assigned for the starpoint current between the starpoint of the protected object and the
earth electrode.
These inconsistencies are output with the operational and spontaneous annunciations. Table 3-23 (Subsection 3.3.5, page 314) gives an overview.

2.14.2 Setting the Function Parameters


Measured Value
Supervision

The sensitivity of the measurement supervision can be altered. Experienced values


set ex works are sufficient in most cases. If an extremely high operational imbalance
of the currents and/or voltages is to be expected in the specific application, or if during
operation monitoring functions are operated sporadically, the relevant parameters
should be set less sensitive.

Protection Function Control


The function control is the control centre of the device. It coordinates the sequence of
the protection and ancillary functions, processes their decisions and the information
coming from the power system. Among these are
processing of the circuit breaker position,
fault detection/pickup logic,
tripping logic.

2.15.1 Fault Detection Logic of the Entire Device


General Pickup

The fault detection logic combines the pickup signals of all protection functions. The
pickup signals are combined with OR and lead to a general pickup of the device. It is
signalled with the alarm 5HOD\3,&.83. If no protection function of the device has
picked up any longer, 5HOD\3,&.83 disappears (message: *RLQJ).
The general pickup is the precondition for a number of internal and external consequential functions. Among these functions, which are controlled by the general pickup,
are:
Start of a fault log: All fault messages are entered into the trip log from the beginning
of the general pickup to the dropout.
Initialization of the fault recording: The recording and storage of fault wave forms
can additionally be made subject to the presence of a trip command.
Creation of spontaneous displays: Certain fault messages can be displayed as so
called spontaneous displays (see Spontaneous Displays below). This display can
additionally be made subject to the presence of a trip command.
External functions can be controlled via an output contact. Examples are:
Further additional devices or similar.

Spontaneous
Displays

Spontaneous displays are alarms that are displayed automatically after a general pickup of the device or after the trip command of the device. In the case of 7UT6 they are
the following:
(Prot.)3,&.83:

pickup of any protection function with phase indication;

(Prot.)75,3:

trip of any protection function;

387LPH:

the operating time from the general pickup to the dropout of the
device, the time is given in ms;

75,37LPH:

the operating time from the general pickup to the first trip
command of the device, the time is given in ms.

Note, that the overload protection does not have a pickup comparable to the other protective functions. The general device pickup time is started with the trip signal, which
starts the trip log.

2.15.2 Tripping Logic of the Entire Device


General Tripping

All tripping signals of the protection functions are combined with logical OR and lead
to the alarm 5HOD\75,3. This can be allocated to an LED or output relay as can
be each of the individual trip commands. It is suitable as general trip information as
well as used for the output of trip commands to the circuit breaker.

Terminating the
Trip Command

Once a trip command is activated, it is stored separately for each protection function
(Figure 2-108). At the same time a minimum trip command duration 70LQ75,3&0'
is started to ensure that the command is sent to the circuit breaker long enough if the
tripping protection function should drop off too quickly or if the breaker of the feeding
end operates faster. The trip commands cannot be terminated until the last protection
function has dropped off (no function picked up) AND the minimum trip command duration is over.

Reclosure
Interlocking

After tripping the circuit breaker by a protection function the manual reclosure must often be blocked until the cause for the protection operation is found.
Using the user-configurable logic functions (CFC) an automatic reclosure interlocking
function can be created. The default setting of 7UT6 offers a pre-defined CFC logic
which stores the trip command of the device until the command is acknowledged manually. The CFC-block is illustrated in Appendix A.5, margin heading Preset CFCCharts (page 423). The internal output *7534XLW must be additionally assigned
to the tripping output relays which are to be sealed.
Acknowledgement is done via binary input !4XLW*753. With default configuration,
press function key F4 at the device front to acknowledge the stored trip command.
If the reclosure interlocking function is not required, delete the allocation between the
internal single-point indication *7534XLW and the source CFC in the configuration matrix.

Note:
The internal single-point indication *7534XLW is not affected by the setting option
%ORFNUHOD\ of the protection functions. If this indication is allocated to a trip relay,
this relay will be actuated in case of a trip of the protection functions, even if %ORFN
UHOD\ is set for that function.

No Trip no Flag

The storage of fault messages allocated to local LEDs and the availability of spontaneous displays can be made dependent on the device sending a trip command. Fault
event information is then not output when one or more protection functions have
picked up due to a fault but no tripping occurred because the fault was cleared by another device (e.g. on a different feeder). The information is thus limited to faults on the
protected line (so-called no trip no flag feature).
Figure 2-109 shows the logic diagram of this function.

Statistics

The number of trips caused by the device 7UT6 is counted.


Furthermore, the current interrupted for each pole and each measuring location is acquired, provided as an information and accumulated in a memory. The criterion for the
acquisition and accumulation of the current levels is that a trip command has been output by any protection function.
The levels of these counted values are buffered against auxiliary voltage failure. They
can be set to zero or to any other initial value. For further information refer to the
SIPROTEC 4 System Manual, order no. E50417H1176C151.

2.15.3 Setting the Function Parameters


The parameters for the tripping logic of the entire device have already been set in Subsection 2.1.3.
Address  )OW'LVS/('/&' still decides whether the alarms that are allocated
to local LEDs and the spontaneous displays that appear on the local display after a
fault should be displayed on every pickup of a protection function (7DUJHWRQ38) or
whether they should be stored only when a tripping command is given (7DUJHWRQ
75,3).

Disconnection, Visualization Tools

Disconnection of
Measuring
Locations

During maintenance work, or when parts of the system are shut down during operation, it is sometimes necessary to suspend the processing of individual measuring locations by the differential protection system. For maintenance work on the circuit
breaker CBC in Figure 2-110, for instance, the breaker would be isolated by opening
the adjacent isolators.
The main protected object, a transformer, is in this example fed on side S1 through
the measuring locations M1 and M2; the measuring location M3 is on side S2. Assuming the measuring location M2 should now be suspended due to the maintenance
work on the circuit breaker. If this information is sent to the device through a binary
input in this case !GLVFRQQHFW0 , the measuring location will no longer be
included in the formation of the differential protection values. The measuring location
is disconnected, i.e. any kind of work can be performed there without affecting the differential protection.

Any measuring location can be disconnected by means of an appropriate binary input.


In 1-phase busbar protection, such a binary input can be used for each feeder.
The disconnection works only in the specified frequency range of the protection, i.e.
fN 10 %. It is thus not suited for blocking the protection during startup of a machine.
Instead, the blocking features provided in the protection functions must be used for
this purpose.
The disconnection becomes effective only if no current is flowing through the measuring location to be disconnected. This is done by checking whether the current arriving
from the measuring location has dropped below the threshold 3ROH2SHQ&XUU of the
measuring location. Once the disconnection has become effective, this fact is reported
by an output indication, e.g. with the indication 0GLVFRQQHFWHG. The current
threshold is no longer being checked from then on.
The disconnection ends when the binary input is deactivated. This requires, once
again, that no current is flowing at the moment the disconnection is ended.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

237

2 Functions

You can evade the condition that the disconnection mode can only be started or ended
when no current is flowing via the measuring location. If you wish to start and end the
disconnection mode even in case of current flow, you have to activate together with
the corresponding binary input !GLVFRQQHFW0[ the input !GLVFRQQ,! 
(FNo ). This can be done by means of a logical CFC-combination which combines all necessary disconnection inputs by OR so that the input !GLVFRQQ,! 
is activated always at the same instant.
The effectiveness of the disconnection is stored in the device and saved against auxiliary voltage failure, i.e. the last information about the disconnection state is maintained when the power supply of the device fails. When the power supply reverts, the
state of the binary input(s) for disconnection is checked against the stored information.
Only when they match, the protection functions will become active again. Inconsistencies are indicated as an alarm )DLO'LVFRQQHFW (FNo ) and the life-contact
of the relay remains open. Only when the state of the binary input(s) will have been
adapted to the stored information the device can operate again.
The effect of the disconnection is that the currents from the disconnected measuring
location as far as they are assigned to a side of the main protected object are
set to zero for those protection functions that are assigned to this side. Currents arriving from the system after disconnecting the measuring location are not effective here.
The currents from 1-phase auxiliary measuring inputs allocated to the disconnected
measuring location, on the other hand, are still valid. Currents remain valid, too, for
those protection function which are not assigned to a side.
No protection functions are blocked. The differential protection continues to work with
the remaining available measured values. In the above example, the transformer can
still operate through measuring location M1, with the differential protection remaining
fully effective.
Overcurrent protection functions assigned to a side continue to work without the current from the disconnected measuring location.
Overcurrent protection functions which are assigned exclusively to the disconnected
measuring location (i.e. not via a side definition) are supplied with the currents of the
disconnected measuring location, i.e. continue to operate with these currents. If necessary, they must be blocked by the information about disconnection (either by corresponding assignment in the matrix of binary inputs or by user defined logical combination by means of CFC).
The restricted earth fault protection, too, does not receive any more currents from the
disconnected measuring location. If it is assigned to a side with two or more measuring
locations, it can continue to work with the currents from the remaining measuring location(s). If the disconnected measuring location is the only 3-phase source for the restricted earth fault protection, the starpoint current stays effective. This means that the
restricted earth fault protection will trip immediately if the starpoint current exceeds the
pickup threshold. Such a current must be a fault current in the protected object: it cannot come from the power system, which is in fact isolated from the protected object.
IBS-Tool

238

The device is provided with a comprehensive commissioning and monitoring tool that
is suitable for retrieving and checking the measured values and the whole differential
protection system. Using a personal computer in conjunction with a web browser, this
tool enables the user to clearly chart the state of the system and the differential protection values, measured values and indications. The necessary operator software is
integrated in the device; online help can be found on the DIGSI CD and is also available in the Internet.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.16 Disconnection, Visualization Tools

To ensure a proper communication between the device and the PC browser the transmission speed must be equal for both. Furthermore, an IP-address is necessary so
that the browser can identify the device. For 7UT6, the following is valid:
Transmission speed: 115 kBaud;
IP-address for connection at the front interface: 141.141.255.160,
IP-address for connection at the rear interface port C: 141.143.255.160.
The IBS-Tool shows the device front with its keypad and LCD display on the screen,
thus allowing to operate the device from the PC. The actual operation of the device
can be simulated with the mouse pointer.
Measured values and the values derived from them are graphically displayed as
phasor diagrams. You can also view tripping diagrams. Scalar values are shown in
numerical form. Most of the measured values discussed in Subsection 2.17.2, Tables
2-11 to 2-15, can also be displayed in the IBS-Tool. Figure 2-112 (page 249) shows
an example of phasor diagrams for measured values.

Ancillary Functions
The ancillary functions of the 7UT6 relay include:
processing of messages,
processing of operational measured values,
storage of fault record data.

2.17.1 Processing of Messages


2.17.1.1 General
For the detailed fault analysis, the information regarding the reaction of the protection
device and the measured values following a system fault are of interest. For this purpose, the device provides information processing which operates in a threefold manner:
Indicators (LEDs)
and Binary Outputs
(Output Relays)

Important events and states are indicated with optical indicators (LED) on the front
plate. The device furthermore has output relays for remote indication. Most of the signals and indications can be marshalled, i.e. routing can be changed from the presetting with delivery. The procedure is described in detail in the SIPROTEC 4 system
manual, order no. E50417H1176C151. The state of the delivered relay (presetting)
is listed in Section A.5 of the Appendix
The output relays and the LEDs may be operated in a latched or unlatched mode
(each may be individually set).
The latched state is saved against loss of auxiliary supply. It is reset:
locally by operation of the key LED reset on the front of the device,
from remote via a binary input,
via one of the serial interfaces,
automatically on detection of a new fault.
Condition messages should not be latched. Also, they cannot be reset until the condition to be reported has reset. This applies to e.g. messages from monitoring functions,
or similar.
A green LED indicates that the device is in service (RUN); it can not be reset. It extinguishes if the self-monitoring of the microprocessor recognizes a fault or if the auxiliary supply fails.
In the event that the auxiliary supply is available while there is an internal device failure, the red LED (ERROR) is illuminated and the device is blocked.
The binary inputs, outputs, and LEDs of a SIPROTEC4 device can be individually
and precisely checked using DIGSI. This feature is used to verify wiring from the device to plant equipment during commissioning (refer also to Subsection 3.3.4).

240

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.17 Ancillary Functions

Information on the
Integrated Display
(LCD) or to a Personal Computer

Events and states can be obtained from the LCD on the front plate of the device. A
personal computer can be connected to the front interface or the service interface for
retrieval of information.
In the quiescent state, i.e. as long as no system fault is present, the LCD can display
selectable operational information (overview of the operational measured values). An
overview is given in the Appendix A.5 under margin heading Default Indications with
4-Line Display or Default Indications with Graphic Display (page 421). In the event
of a system fault, information regarding the fault, the so-called spontaneous displays,
are displayed instead. The quiescent state information is displayed again once the
fault messages have been acknowledged. The acknowledgement is identical to the resetting of the LEDs (see above).
The device in addition provides several event buffers for operational messages,
switching statistics, etc., which are saved against loss of auxiliary supply by means of
a battery buffer. These messages can be displayed on the LCD at any time by selection via the keypad or transferred to a personal computer via the serial service or PC
interface. The retrieval of events/alarms during operation is extensively described in
the SIPROTEC 4 System Manual, order no. E50417H1176C151.
With a PC and the protection data processing program DIGSI it is also possible to
retrieve and display the events with the convenience of visualisation on a monitor and
a menu-guided dialogue. The data may be printed or stored for later evaluation.

Information to a
Control Centre

If the device has a serial system interface, the information may additionally be transferred via this interface to a centralized control and monitoring system. Several communication protocols are available for the transfer of this information.
You may test whether the information is transmitted correctly with DIGSI.
Also the information transmitted to the control centre can be influenced during operation or tests. For on-site monitoring, the IEC protocol 608705103 offers the option
to add a comment saying test mode to all annunciations and measured values transmitted to the control centre. It is then understood as the cause of annunciation and
there is no doubt on the fact that messages do not derive from real disturbances. Alternatively, you may disable the transmission of annunciations to the system interface
during tests (transmission block).
To influence information at the system interface during test mode (test mode and
transmission block) a CFC logic is required. Default settings already include this logic (see Appendix A.5, margin heading Preset CFC-Charts, page 423).
For information on how to enable and disable the test mode and the transmission
block see for the SIPROTEC 4 System Manual E50417H1176C151.

Structure of
Messages

The messages are categorized as follows:


Event Log: These are operating messages that can occur during the operation of
the device. They include information about the status of device functions, measurement data, system data, and similar information.
Trip Log: These are fault messages from the last eight network faults that were
processed by the device.
Switching statistics: These messages count the breaker control commands initiated
by the device, values of accumulated circuit currents and interrupted currents.

2 Functions

A complete list of all message and output functions that can be generated by the device, with the associated information number (FNo), can be found in the Appendix.
The lists also indicate where each message can be sent. The lists are based on a
SIPROTEC 4 device with the maximum complement of functions. If functions are not
present in the specific version of the device, or if they are set as 'LVDEOHG in device
configuration, then the associated messages cannot appear.

2.17.1.2 Event Log (Operating Messages)


Operating messages contain information that the device generates during operation
and about the operation. Up to 200 operating messages are stored in chronological
order in the device. New messages are added at the end of the list. If the memory has
been exceeded, then the oldest message is overwritten for each new message.
Operational annunciations come in automatically and can be read out from the device
display or a personal computer. Faults in the power system are indicated with 1HW
ZRUN)DXOW and the present fault number. The fault messages (Trip Log) contain
details about the history of faults. This topic is discussed in Subsection 2.17.1.3.

2.17.1.3 Trip Log (Fault Messages)


Following a system fault, it is possible to for example retrieve important information regarding its progress, such as pickup and trip. The start of the fault is time stamped with
the absolute time of the internal system clock. The progress of the disturbance is output with a relative time referred to the instant of fault detection (first pickup of a protection function), so that the duration of the fault until tripping and up to reset of the trip
command can be ascertained. The resolution of the time information is 1 ms.
A system fault starts with the recognition of the fault by the fault detection, i.e. first pickup of any protection function, and ends with the reset of the fault detection, i.e. dropout
of the last protection function.
Spontaneous
Displays

Spontaneous messages appear automatically in the display, after a general pickup of


the device. The most important data about a fault can be viewed on the device front in
the sequence shown in Figure 2-111.

Messages

The messages for the last eight network faults can be retrieved. Altogether up to 600
indications can be stored. Oldest data are erased for newest data when the buffer is
full.

2.17.1.4 Spontaneous Annunciations


Spontaneous annunciations contain information on new incoming annunciations.
Each new incoming annunciation appears immediately, i.e. the user does no have to
wait for an update or initiate one. This can be a useful help during operation, testing
and commissioning.
Spontaneous annunciations can be read out via DIGSI. For further information see
the SIPROTEC 4 System Manual (order-no. E50417H1176C151).

2.17.1.5 General Interrogation


The present condition of a SIPROTEC device can be examined by using DIGSI by
viewing the contents of the General Interrogation annunciation. All of the messages
that are needed for a general interrogation are shown along with the actual values or
states.

2.17.1.6 Switching Statistics


The messages in switching statistics are counters for the accumulation of interrupted
currents by each of the breaker poles, the number of control commands issued by the
device to the breakers. The interrupted currents are in primary terms.
Switching statistics can be viewed on the LCD of the device, or on a PC running

The counters and memories of the statistics are saved by the device. Therefore the

2.17.2 Measurement during Operation


Display and
Transmission of
Measured Values

Operating measured values and metered values are determined in the background by
the processor system. They can be called up at the front of the device, read out via
the operating interface using a PC with DIGSI, or transferred to a central master station via the system interface (if available).
The computation of the operational measured values is also executed during an existent system fault in intervals of approx. 0,6 s.
The processing of operational measured values is much more than just the output of
the measured values that can be acquired directly at the devices measuring inputs. A
multitude of measured values is calculated from the measured values and referred to
the application in hand. The options provided to flexibly adapt the device to a wide
range of protected objects with various topologies require an equally flexible adaptation of the output of operational measured values. Only those operational values are
displayed that result from the connected measured values and that make sense for
the cases configured.
A correct display of primary and percentage values requires the complete and correct
entry of the topology of the protected object (Subsection 2.1.2) and its nominal values
(Subsection 2.1.3), as well as of the nominal instrument transformer values (Subsection 2.1.3).
For the measuring locations the primary and secondary measured values as per Table
2-11 are output. Depending on the devices order number, connection type, topology
and protection functions configured, only a part of the magnitudes listed there is available. In single-phase transformers, all magnitudes of phase L2 are absent.
The powers S,P,Q are calculated from the measuring location to which the voltage
transformers are assigned. If the voltage transformers are assigned to a side of the
main protected object, the current sum applies, if the side has two or more measuring
locations. With single-phase busbar protection, power calculation is not possible.
The definition of the signs is normally that the power flowing into the protected object
is considered as positive: Active components and inductive reactive components in
the direction of the protected object are positive. The same applies for the power factor
cos . It is occasionally desired to define the power draw from the protected object
(e.g. as seen from the busbar) positively. Using parameter address  34VLJQ
(Subsection 2.1.9 under margin heading Sign of Power, page 67) the signs for these
components can be inverted.
In devices without voltage measuring inputs, it is nevertheless possible to output a
voltage and an apparent power if a voltage is connected via an external series resistor
to a 1-phase current measuring input. Via a user-configurable CFC logic (CFC block
Life_Zero) the current proportional to the voltage can be measured and indicated as
voltage 8PHDV. The procedure is described in the CFC manual.
The apparent power 6 is (without voltage connections) not a measured value, but a
value calculated from the rated voltage of the protected object which is set and the acU
tually flowing currents of side 1: S = -----N- ( I L1S1 + I L2S1 + I L3S1 ) for three-phase appli3
UN
( IL1S1 + I L3S1 ) for single-phase transformers. If, however, the voltcations or S = ----2
age measurement described in the previous paragraph is applied, this voltage measurement is used to calculate the apparent power. The apparent power is output here
as a magnitude; it does not contain any directional information.

In addition to the measured and calculated values at the measuring locations, measured values are output at the sides of the main protected object. This makes it possible
to obtain the data relevant for the protected object even if they are fed to the protected
object from several measuring locations, as in the arrangement shown in Figure 2-1
(page 22) for the higher voltage side (S1) of the transformer. Also, relative values are
always referred to a specific side of the protected object. A current which does not flow
into the object from 2 measuring locations (such as in Figure 2-1 a current flowing from
one busbar through M1 and M2 to the other busbar) is theoretically zero because no
current flows into the protected object.
Table 2-12 summarizes the operational measured values that are assigned to the
sides. Depending on the devices order number, connection type, topology and protection functions configured, only a part of the magnitudes listed there is available. The
table does not apply to the single-phase busbar protection, since no sides are defined
there.

The phase angles are listed separately in Table 2-13. The reference value for 3-phase
objects is the current IL1M1 (current in phase L1 at measuring location M1), which has
thus a phase angle = 0. With 1-phase busbar protection, the current I1 has the phase
angle 0, i.e. it is the reference value.
Depending on the devices order number, connection type, topology and protection
functions configured, only a part of the phase angles listed there is available.
The phase angles are indicated in degrees. Since further processing of such values
(in CFC or when transmitted through serial interfaces) requires values without dimension, arbitrary references have been chosen, which are contained in the column %
conversion.

The thermal values are listed in Table 2-14. They can only be displayed of the overload protection has been configured as (QDEOHG. Which measured values are possible is also dependent of the overload detection method chosen and, if applicable, of
the number of temperature detectors connected through the RTD-box.
The hot-spot temperatures are calculated in transformers for each leg. Therefore, temperatures are indicated with a phase (in the case of Y windings), or with a phase-tophase concatenation (D windings). For standard vector groups, this information correspond to the ends of the windings. In more unusual vector groups (which are created
by phase swapping), the phase assignment in the vector group is not always clear.
The thermal values are referred to the tripping temperature rise. For degrees of temperature there are no referred values. However, since further processing of such values (in CFC or when transmitted through serial interfaces) requires values without dimension, arbitrary references have been chosen, which are contained in Table 2-14

User Defined
Set-Points

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

In SIPROTEC 7UT6, set-points can be configured for measured and metered values.
If, during operation, a value reaches one of these set-points, the device generates an
alarm which is indicated as an operational message. As for all operational messages,
it is possible to output the information to LED and/or output relay and via the serial interfaces. Unlike real protection functions such as time overcurrent protection or overload protection, this monitoring routine runs in the background, so that in the case of
a fault and rapidly changing measured values it may not respond when protection

249

2 Functions

functions pick up. Also, these set-points do not respond immediately before a trip because an alarm is only output if the setpoint are repeatedly violated.
Set-points can only be set if their measured and metered values have been configured
correspondingly in CFC (see SIPROTEC4 System Manual, ordering number
E50417H1176C151).
Energy Metering

7UT6 integrates the calculated power which is then made available with the Measured
Values. The components as listed in Table 2-16 can be read out. Note that input and
output are always as seen from the protected object. The signs of the operating values depend (as for the powers) on the setting at address  34VLJQ (see above
under margin heading Display and Transmission of Measured Values, page 244).
With single-phase busbar protection no calculation of the real power is possible.
Of course, the energy counter can only be used in situations where a calculation of the
power is possible.
The values are always incremented upwards, never downwards. This means, for instance, that Wp+ goes up if the real power is positive and that in the presence of a
negative real power Wp goes up, but Wp+ does not go down, etc.
Please keep in mind that the 7UT6 is mainly designed for protection. The accuracy of
the measured values depends on the current transformers (normally protection cores)
and the tolerances of the device. The metering is therefore not suited for tariff purposes. Furthermore, currents below the minimum current 3ROH2SHQ&XUU for the respective side are not processed.
The counters can be reset to zero or any initial value (cf. SIPROTECSystem Description, Order No. E50417H1176C151).

The main protected object is considered to be in operation if a current flows at least


on one side, i.e. if the minimum threshold for detection of a current flow is exceeded,
e.g. for side 1 the threshold 3ROH2SHQ&XUU6 (address ). A current which
does not flow into the object from 2 measuring locations (such as in Figure 2-1 a current flowing from one busbar through M1 and M2 to the other busbar) is not metered
because no current flows into the protected object.
In busbar protection, the busbar is considered to be in operation if a current flows
through at least one measuring location (i.e. one feeder).
The 7UT6 meters the operating hours and outputs them in the measured values. The
upper limit is 999,999 hours (approx. 114 years).
You can define for the operating hours a setpoint for the output of an operational indication.

are sampled at 12/3 ms intervals (for a frequency of 50 Hz) and stored in a cyclic buffer
(12 samples per period). The centre phase (L2) is omitted in case of a single-phase
power transformer. When used as single-phase busbar protection, the feeder currents
are stored instead of the phase currents, the zero sequence currents are nor applicable.
During a system fault these data are stored over a time span that can be set (5 s at
the longest for each fault record). Up to 8 faults can be stored. The total capacity of
the fault record memory is approx. 5 s. The fault recording buffer is updated when a
new fault occurs, so that acknowledging is not necessary. Fault recording can be initiated, additionally to the protection pickup, via the integrated operator panel, the serial
operator interface and the serial service interface.
The data can be retrieved via the serial interfaces by means of a personal computer
and evaluated with the protection data processing program DIGSI and the graphic
analysis software SIGRA. The latter graphically represents the data recorded during
the system fault and calculates additional information from the measured values. A selection may be made as to whether the measured quantities are represented as primary or secondary values. Binary signal traces (marks) of particular events e.g. fault
detection, tripping are also represented.
If the device has a serial system interface, the fault recording data can be passed on
to a central device via this interface. The evaluation of the data is done by the respective programs in the central device. The measured quantities are referred to their maximum values, scaled to their rated values and prepared for graphic representation. In
addition, internal events are recorded as binary traces (marks), e.g. fault detection,
tripping.
Where transfer to a central device is possible, the request for data transfer can be executed automatically. It can be selected to take place after each fault detection by the
protection, or only after a trip.

2.17.4 Setting the Function Parameters


Measured Values

In addition to the values measured directly and the measured values calculated from
currents and maybe from voltages and temperatures, 7UT6 can also output a voltage
and apparent power even if no voltage inputs are available.
To get the voltage value in this case, a voltage must be connected to one of the 1phase current measuring inputs via an external series resistor. Additionally, a user-defined logic must be created in CFC (see Subsection 2.17.2, margin heading Display
and Transmission of Measured Values).
The apparent power is either calculated from this voltage proportional current or from
the rated voltage of side 1 of the protected object and the currents of the same side.
For the first case, set address  32:(5&$/&8/ to = ZLWK9PHDVXU, for the
latter case ZLWK9VHWWLQJ.

Waveform Capture

The settings pertaining to waveform capture are found under the 26&)$8/75(&
sub-menu of the 6(77,1*6 menu.
Distinction is made between the starting instant (i.e. the instant where time tagging is
T = 0) and the criterion to save the record (address  :$9()25075,**(5). With
the setting 6DYHZ3LFNXS, the starting instant and the criterion for saving are the
same: the pickup of any protective element. The option 6DYHZ75,3 means that
also the pickup of a protective function starts fault recording but the record is saved
only if the device issues a trip command. The final option for address  is 6WDUW
Z75,3: A trip command issued by the device is both the starting instant and the
criterion to save the record.
An oscillographic record includes data recorded prior to the time of trigger, and data
after the dropout of the recording criterion. You determine the length of pre-trigger time
and post-dropout time to be included in the fault record with the settings in Address
 35(75,*7,0( and address  32675(&7,0(
The maximum length of time of a record is entered in address  0$;/(1*7+.
The largest value here is 5 seconds. A total of 8 records can be saved. However the
total length of time of all fault records in the buffer may not exceed 5 seconds. Once
the capacity of the buffer is exceeded the oldest fault is deleted, whereas the new fault
is saved in the buffer.
An oscillographic record can be triggered and saved via a binary input or via the operating interface connected to a PC. The trigger is dynamic. The length of a record for
these special triggers is set in address  %LQ,Q&$377,0( (upper bound is address ). Pre-trigger and post-dropout settings in Addresses  and  are included. If address  is set for , then the length of the record equals the time that
the binary input is activated (static), or the 0$;/(1*7+ setting in address ,
whichever is shorter.

2.18 Processing of Commands

2.18

Processing of Commands

General

In addition to the protective functions described so far, control command processing


is integrated in the SIPROTEC 7UT6 to coordinate the operation of circuit breakers
and other equipment in the power system. Control commands can originate from four
command sources:
Local operation using the keypad on the local user interface of the device,
Local or remote operation using DIGSI,
Remote operation via system (SCADA) interface (e.g. SICAM),
Automatic functions (e.g. using a binary inputs, CFC).
The number of switchgear devices that can be controlled is basically limited by the
number of available and required binary inputs and outputs. For the output of control
commands it has be ensured that all the required binary inputs and outputs are configured and provided with the correct properties.
If specific interlocking conditions are needed for the execution of commands, the user
can program the device with bay interlocking by means of the user-defined logic functions (CFC).
The configuration of the binary inputs and outputs, the preparation of user defined logic functions, and the procedure during switching operations are described in the
SIPROTEC 4 System Manual, order no. E50417H1176C151.

2.18.1 Types of Commands


The following types of commands are distinguished.
Control Commands

These commands operate binary outputs and change the power system status:
Commands for the operation of circuit breakers (without synchro-check) as well as
commands for the control of isolators and earth switches,
Step commands, e.g. for raising and lowering transformer taps,
Commands with configurable time settings (e.g. Petersen coils).

Internal / Pseudo
Commands

These commands do not directly operate binary outputs. They serve to initiate internal
functions, simulate or acknowledge changes of state.
Manual entries to change the feedback indication of plant such as the status condition, for example in the case when the physical connection to the auxiliary contacts
is not available or is defective. The process of manual entries is recorded and can
be displayed accordingly.
Additionally, tagging commands can be issued to establish internal settings, such
as switching authority (remote / local), parameter set changeover, data transmission inhibit and metering counter reset or initialization.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

261

2 Functions

Acknowledgment and resetting commands for setting and resetting internal buffers.
Status information commands for setting / deactivating the information status for
the information value of an object:
Controlling activation of binary input status,
Blocking binary outputs.

2.18.2 Steps in the Command Sequence


Safety mechanisms in the command sequence ensure that a command can only be
released after a thorough check of preset criteria has been successfully concluded.
Additionally, user-defined interlocking conditions can be configured separately for
each device. The actual execution of the command is also monitored after its release.
The entire sequence of a command is described briefly in the following:
Check Sequence

Command entry (e.g. using the keypad on the local user interface of the device)
Check password access rights;
Check switching mode (interlocking activated/deactivated) selection of
deactivated interlocking status.
User configurable interlocking checks that can be selected for each command
Switching authority (local, remote),
Switching direction control (target state = present state),
Zone controlled/bay interlocking (logic using CFC),
System interlocking (centrally via SICAM),
Double operation (interlocking against parallel switching operation),
Protection blocking (blocking of switching operations by protective functions).
Fixed command checks
Timeout monitoring (time between command initiation and execution can be
monitored),
Configuration in process (if setting modification is in process, commands are
rejected or delayed),
Equipment not present at output (if controllable equipment is not assigned to a
binary output, then the command is denied),
Output block (if an output block has been programmed for the circuit breaker, and
is active at the moment the command is processed, then the command is
denied),
Component hardware malfunction,
Command in progress (only one command can be processed at a time for each
circuit breaker or switch),

262

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.18 Processing of Commands

1-out-of-n check (for schemes with multiple assignments and common potential
contact, it is checked whether a command has already been initiated for the
common output contact).
Interruption of a command because of a cancel command,

Monitoring the
Command Execution

Running time monitor (feedback message monitoring time).

2.18.3 Interlocking
Interlocking is executed by the user-defined logic (CFC). The interlocking checks of a
SICAM/SIPROTEC-system are classified into:
System interlocking checked by a central control system (for interbay interlocking)
Zone controlled/bay interlocking checked in the bay device (for the feeder-related
interlocking)
System interlocking relies on the system data base in the central control system. Zone
controlled/bay interlocking relies on the status of the circuit breaker and other switches
that are connected to the relay.
The extent of the interlocking checks is determined by the configuration and interlocking logic of the relay.
Switchgear which is subject to system interlocking in the central control system is
identified with a specific setting in the command properties (in the routing matrix).
For all commands the user can select the operation mode with interlocking (normal
mode) or without interlocking (test mode):
for local commands by reprogramming the settings with password check,
for automatic commands via command processing with CFC,
for local / remote commands by an additional interlocking command via Profibus.

2.18.3.1 Interlocked/Non-Interlocked Switching


The command checks that can be selected for the SIPROTEC-relays are also referred to as standard interlocking. These checks can be activated (interlocked) or deactivated (non interlocked) via DIGSI.
Deactivated interlock switching means the configured interlocking conditions are bypassed in the relay.
Interlocked switching means that all configured interlocking conditions are checked in
the command check routines. If a condition could not be fulfilled, the command will be
rejected by a message with a minus added to it (e.g. CO-), followed by an operation
response information. Table 2-17 shows some types of commands and messages. For

*) These messages are displayed in this form in the operational messages on the device display,
and in the spontaneous messages under DIGSI

The plus sign indicated in the message is a confirmation of the command execution:
the command execution was as expected, in other words positive. The minus is a
negative confirmation, the command was rejected. Figure 2-113 shows the messages
relating to command execution and operation response information for a successful
operation of the circuit breaker.
The check of interlocking can be programmed separately for all switching devices and
tags that were set with a tagging command. Other internal commands such as manual
entry or abort are not checked, i.e. carried out independent of the interlocking.

2.18.4 Recording and Acknowledgement of Commands


During the processing of the commands, independent of the further processing of information, command and process feedback information are sent to the message
processing centre. These messages contain information on the cause. The messages
are entered in the event list.
Acknowledgement
of Commands to
the Device Front

All information which relates to commands that were issued from the device front
Command Issued = Local is transformed into a corresponding message and shown
in the display of the device.

Acknowledgement
of Commands to
Local/Remote/Digsi

The acknowledgement of messages which relate to commands with the origin Command Issued = Local/Remote/DIGSI are sent back to the initiating point independent
of the routing (configuration on the serial digital interface).
The acknowledgement of commands is therefore not provided with a response indication as it is done with the local command but with ordinary recorded command and
feedback information.

Monitoring of Feedback Information

The processing of commands monitors the command execution and timing of feedback information for all commands. At the same time the command is sent, the monitoring time is started (monitoring of the command execution). This time controls
whether the device operation is executed with the required final result within the monitoring time. The monitoring time is stopped as soon as the feedback information is detected. If no feedback information arrives, a response Timeout command monitoring
time is indicated and the command sequence is terminated.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

2.18 Processing of Commands

Commands and information feedback are also recorded in the event list. Normally the
execution of a command is terminated as soon as the feedback information (FB+) of
the relevant switchgear arrives or, in case of commands without process feedback information, the command output resets.
The plus appearing in a feedback information confirms that the command was successful, the command was as expected, in other words positive. The minus is a negative confirmation and means that the command was not executed as expected.

The command types needed for tripping and closing of the switchgear or for raising
and lowering of transformer taps are described in the SIPROTEC 4 System Manual,

3 Installation and Commissioning

Attention! The transport protection elements of housing size 1/1 have to be removed
only at the point of final installation. If a device is prepared (e.g. on a panel) for further
transport it must be mounted including the transport protection. To do this, fasten the
device using the 4 bolts with female screws and washers of the transport protection.

Panel Surface

In other cases of housing size 1/1 remove the transport protection elements (see below
Removal of transport protection).

q Secure the device to the panel with four screws. Refer to Figure 4-16 (7UT613,
size 1/2) or 4-17 (7UT633 or 7UT635, size 1/1) in Section 4.16 for dimensions.

q Connect the ground of the device to the protective ground of the panel. The crosssectional area of the ground wire must be greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of any other control conductor connected to the device. Furthermore, the
cross-section of the ground wire must be at least 2.5 mm2.

q Solid, low-impedance operational grounding (cross-sectional area 2.5 mm2) must


be connected to the grounding surface on the side. Use at least one M4 screw for
the device ground.

q Connect the screwed terminals on the top and bottom of the device according to the

wiring diagram for the panel. Optical connections are made on the inclined housings
on the top and/or bottom of the case. The System Manual (order no. E50417
H1176C151) has pertinent information regarding wire size, lugs, bending radii,
etc. Installation notes are also given in the brief reference booklet attached to the
device.

Devices in housing size 1/1 for panel surface mounting are provided with a transport

one after another.

q Unscrew the female screws and washers (6) from the bolts (5) and remove the
bolts.

q Secure the device using 4 screws.

3.1.2

Termination Variants
General diagrams are shown in Appendix A.2. Connection examples for current and
voltage transformer circuits are provided in Appendix A.3. It must be checked that the
settings for configuration (Subsection 2.1.1) and the power system data (Subsection
2.1.2 to 2.1.5) match the connections to the device.

Protected Object

The setting 35272%-(&7 (address ) must correspond to the object to be protected. Wrong setting may cause unexpected reaction of the device.
Please note that auto-transformers are identified as 35272%-(&7 = $XWRWUDQVI
(auto-transformer), not SKDVHWUDQVI (three-phase transformer). For SKDVH
WUDQVI, the centre phase L2 remains unconnected.

Currents

Connection of the CT currents depends on the mode of application.


With three-phase connection the three phase currents are allocated to each measuring location. For connection examples see Appendix A.3, Figures A-10 to A-15 and A19 to A-21 and A-23 depending on the protected object types. Observe also the General Diagrams of the actual device model in Appendix A.2. Pay attention to the assignment of the different measuring locations to the sides of the protected object and to
the current inputs of the device. Refer to Subsection 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 for more details.
With two-phase connection of a single-phase transformer the centre phase will not be
used (IL2). Figures A-17 and A-18 in Appendix A.3 show connection examples. Even
if there is only one current transformer, both phases will be used (IL1 and IL3), see the
right part of Figure A-18. Observe also the General Diagrams of the actual device
model in Appendix A.2.
For single-phase busbar protection the measuring inputs are allocated each to a busbar feeder. Figure A-24 in Appendix A.3 illustrates an example for one phase. The oth-

7UT6 Manual

3 Installation and Commissioning

er phases are to be connected correspondingly. Observe also the General Diagrams


of the actual device model in Appendix A.2.
If the device is connected via summation transformers, see Figure A-25. In this case
you have to take into consideration that the rated output current of the summation
transformers is usually 100 mA. The measuring inputs of the device have to be
matched accordingly (refer also to Subsection 3.1.3). Consider also that in 7UT613
and 7UT633 only 6 of the current inputs can be changed to 0.1 A rated input. Pay attention to the assignment of the different feeder currents to the current inputs of the
device. Refer to Subsection 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 for more details.
The allocation of the 1-phase current inputs is to be checked. Connections also differ
according to the application the device is used for. The Appendix offers some connection examples (e.g. Figures A-11 and A-12, A-14 to A-17 and A-21 to A-23) which refer
to different applications. Observe also the General Diagrams of the actual device model in Appendix A.2. Pay attention to the assignment of the different 1-phase measuring
locations to the 1-phase current inputs of the device. Refer to Subsection 2.1.2 and
2.1.3 for more details.
Also check the rated data and the matching factors for the current transformers.
The allocation of the protection functions to the sides must be consistent. This particularly applies for the circuit breaker failure protection whose measuring location or
side must correspond with the side of the circuit breaker to be monitored.
Voltages

Voltages are only applicable with 7UT613 or 7UT633 if the device is accordingly ordered and voltage transformers are connected to the device and this has been stated
in the configuration according to Subsection 2.1.2 under margin header Assignment
of Voltage Measuring Inputs.
The Figures A-26 and A-27 show examples of the voltage transformer connection options.
The voltage transformer connections must comply with the settings in Section 2.1.2
under margin header Assignment of Voltage Measuring Inputs. Pay attention to the
application and mode of connection of the 4th voltage input U4 if it is used.

Binary Inputs and


Outputs

The connections to the power plant depend on the possible allocation of the binary
inputs and outputs, i.e. how they are assigned to the power equipment. The preset
allocation can be found in Tables A-2 and A-3 in Section A.5 of Appendix A. Also
check that the labels on the front panel correspond to the configured message functions.
It is also very important that the feedback components (auxiliary contacts) of the circuit
breaker monitored are connected to the correct binary inputs which correspond to the
assigned side of the circuit breaker failure protection and the cold load pickup function.
Similar applies for the manual close recognition of the time overcurrent protection
functions.

Changing Setting
Groups with Binary
Inputs

276

If binary inputs are used to switch setting groups, note:


Two binary inputs must be dedicated to the purpose of changing setting groups
when four groups are to be switched. One binary input must be set for !6HW
*URXS%LW, the other input for !6HW*URXS%LW. If either of these input
functions is not assigned, then it is considered as not controlled.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

3.1 Mounting and Connections

To control two setting groups, one binary input set for !6HW*URXS%LW is
sufficient since the binary input !6HW*URXS%LW, which is not assigned, is
considered to be not controlled.
The status of the signals controlling the binary inputs to activate a particular setting
group must remain constant as long as that particular group is to remain active.
Table 3-1 shows the relationship between !6HW*URXS%LW, !6HW*URXS%LW
, and the setting groups A to D. Principal connection diagrams for the two binary inputs are illustrated in Figure 3-6. The figure illustrates an example in which both Set
Group Bits 0 and 1 are configured to be controlled (actuated) when the associated binary input is energized (high).

Trip Circuit
Supervision

Connection diagram (example) for setting group switching with binary inputs

It must be noted that two binary inputs or one binary input and one bypass resistor R
must be connected in series. The pick-up threshold of the binary inputs must therefore
be substantially below half the rated control DC voltage.
If two binary inputs are used for the trip circuit supervision, these binary inputs must
be volt-free i.o.w. not be commoned with each other or with another binary input.

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

3 Installation and Commissioning

If one binary input is used, a bypass resistor R must be employed (refer to Figure 37). This resistor R is connected in series with the second circuit breaker auxiliary contact (Aux2). The value of this resistor must be such that in the circuit breaker open condition (therefore Aux1 is open and Aux2 is closed) the circuit breaker trip coil (TC) is
no longer picked up and binary input (BI1) is still picked up if the command relay contact is open.

3.1.3

Hardware Modifications

3.1.3.1

General
Hardware modifications might be necessary or desired. For example, a change of
rated input currents or the pickup threshold for some of the binary inputs might be advantageous in certain applications. Terminating resistors might be required for the
communication bus. In either case, hardware modifications are needed. If modifications are done or interface modules are replaced, please observe the details in Subsections 3.1.3.2 to 3.1.3.5.

Power Supply
Voltage

There are different input ranges for the power supply voltage. Refer to the data for the
7UT6 ordering numbers in Section A.1 of Appendix A. The power supplies with the ratings 60/110/125 VDC and 110/125/220/250 VDC / 115/230 VAC are interconvertible.
Jumper settings determine the rating. The assignment of these jumpers to the supply
voltages are illustrated below in Section 3.1.3.3 under margin Processor Board CCPU-2. When the relay is delivered, these jumpers are set according to the nameplate sticker. Generally, they need not be altered.

Nominal Currents

Jumper settings determine the rating of the current inputs of the device. When the relay is delivered, these jumpers are set according to the name-plate to 1 A or 5 A.
If the current transformer sets at the measuring locations and/or the 1-phase current
inputs have different rated secondary currents, the devices inputs must be adapted to
it. The same applies for the current transformers of the busbar feeders when singlephase busbar protection is applied. Using single-phase busbar protection with interposed summation transformers, rated current for current inputs are usually 100 mA.
The physical arrangements of these jumpers that correspond to the different current
ratings are described below in Subsection 3.1.3.3 under margin heading Input/Output
Board C-I/O-2 (7UT613 or 7UT633), Input/Output Board C-I/O-9 (All Versions), and
Input/Output Board C-I/O-9 (7UT635 only).
When performing changes, please make sure that the device is always informed about
them:
Using three-phase applications and single-phase transformers, changes for the different measuring locations must correspond to the associated current transformer
data (refer to Subsection 2.1.3, margin heading Current Transformer Data for 3phase Measuring Locations, page 42).
Changes for a 1-phase auxiliary input must correspond to the associated current
transformer data (refer to Subsection 2.1.3, margin heading Current Transformer
Data for 1-phase Auxiliary Current Inputs, page 46).
For changes of high-sensitivity auxiliary current input the CT transformation ratio
must correspond to associated factor (refer to Subsection 2.1.3, margin heading
Current Transformer Data for 1-phase Auxiliary Current Inputs, page 46).
Using single-phase busbar protection, changes for the different measuring locations must correspond to the associated current transformer data (refer to Subsection 2.1.3, margin heading (refer to Subsection 2.1.3, margin heading Current
Transformer Data for 1-phase Busbar Protection, page 44).

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

3.1 Mounting and Connections

Control Voltages
for Binary Inputs

When the device is delivered from the factory, the binary inputs are set to operate with
a voltage that corresponds to the rated voltage of the power supply. In general, to optimize the operation of the inputs, the pickup voltage of the inputs should be set to
most closely match the actual control voltage being used. Each binary input has a
pickup voltage that can be independently adjusted; therefore, each input can be set
according to the function performed.
A jumper position is changed to adjust the pickup voltage of a binary input. The physical arrangement of the binary input jumpers in relation to the pickup voltages is
explained below in Section 3.1.3.3, margin heading Processor Board C-CPU-2 and
Input/Output Board C-I/O-1.
Note:
If the 7UT6 performs trip circuit monitoring, two binary inputs, or one binary input and
a resistor, are connected in series. The pickup voltage of these inputs must be less
than half of the nominal DC voltage of the trip circuit.

Type of Contact for


Binary Outputs

Depending on the version, some output relays can be set to have normally closed or
normally open contact. Therefore it might be necessary to rearrange a jumper. Subsection 3.1.3.3, margin headings Processor Board C-CPU-2 and Input/Output
Board C-I/O-1 describe to which type of relays in which boards this applies.

Interface Modules

The serial interface modules can be replaced. Which kind of interfaces and how the
interfaces can be replaced is described in Replacing Interface Modules, Section
3.1.3.4.

Termination of
Serial Interfaces

If the device is equipped with a serial RS 485 port, the RS 485 bus must be terminated
with resistors at the last device on the bus to ensure reliable data transmission. For
this purpose, terminating resistors are provided for the integrated interface and on the
interface modules. The physical arrangement and jumper positions on the interface
modules see Subsection 3.1.3.3, margin heading Processor Board C-CPU-2 and
Subsection 3.1.3.4, margin heading RS485 Interface.

Spare Parts

Spare parts may be the backup battery that maintains the data in the battery-buffered
RAM when the voltage supply fails, and the miniature fuse of the internal power
supply. Their physical location is shown in Figure 3-10. The ratings of the fuse are
printed on the module next to the fuse itself and in Table 3-2. When exchanging the
fuse, please observe the hints given in the System Manual (order no. E50417H1176
C151) in Chapter Maintenance.

Disassembling the Device

WARNING!
For the following steps it is assumed that the device is not in operating state. Since
dangerous voltages and laser radiation may develop, do not connect the device to
auxiliary voltage, measured values or optical fibres!
If changes to jumper settings are required to modify the rating of the power supply, the
nominal rating of the current inputs, the pickup voltage of binary inputs, or the state of
the terminating resistors, proceed as follows:

Caution!
Jumper-setting changes that affect nominal values of the device render the ordering
number and the corresponding nominal values on the name-plate sticker invalid. If
such changes are necessary, the changes should be clearly and fully noted on the device. Self adhesive stickers are available that can be used as replacement nameplates.

Prepare area of work. Provide a grounded mat for protecting components subject to
damage from electrostatic discharges (ESD). The following equipment is needed:
screwdriver with a 5 to 6 mm wide tip,
1 Philips screwdriver size Pz1,
5 mm socket or nut driver.

3.1 Mounting and Connections

When the device is delivered the jumper positions correspond to the ordered variant.
With jumper X111 the flow control which is important for modem communication is enabled. Jumper settings are explained in the following:
Jumper setting 23: The modem control signals CTS (Clear-To-Send) according to
RS232 are not available. This is a standard connection via star coupler or optical fibre
converter. They are not required since the connection to the SIPROTEC devices is
always operated in the half-duplex mode. Please use connection cable with order
number 7XV51004.
Jumper setting 12: Modem signals are made available. For a direct RS232 connection between the device and the modem this setting can be selected optionally. We
recommend to use a standard RS232 modem connection cable (converter 9-pole on
25-pole).
Note: If the DIGSI PC is directly connected to the RS232 interface jumper X111 must
be in position 23.

Using the RS485 interfaces with bus capability requires a termination for the last device at the bus, i.e. terminating resistors must be switched to the line unless external
termination is used. See Table 3-7.
Both jumpers must have equal position!

When delivered, the jumpers are plugged so that the resistors are disconnected (position 12).
Terminating resistors can also be implemented outside the device (e.g. in the plug
connectors, see also Figure 3-19). In that case the terminating resistors provided on
the RS 485 interface module must be disconnected.
Jumper X90 has no function in this device. Leave it in position 12.

The rated currents of the measured current inputs can be determined for each analog
input. With default settings all jumpers are set to the same rated current (according to
the order number of the device).
The input/output board C-I/O-2 carries the following measured current inputs:
For three-phase applications (also single-phase transformers):
There are 3 measuring inputs for the 3-phase measuring location M3: IL1M3, IL2M3,
IL3M3.
The jumpers belonging to this measuring location (X61, X62, X63) must be plugged
all to the rated secondary current of the connected current transformers: 5A or
1A. Furthermore, the corresponding common jumper (X60) has to be plugged to
the same rated current.
For single-phase busbar protection:
There are 3 measuring inputs for 3 different measuring locations, i.e. the feeders 7
to 9: I7, I8, I9. Each input can be set individually (X61, X62, X63): 5A or 1A.
Only if the measuring inputs I7 to I9 have equal rated current, X60 is plugged to this
rated current.
If different rated currents are reigning within this input group, the position of the
common jumper (X60) is irrelevant.
For the auxiliary 1-phase input IX2:
Jumper X64 is set to the required rated current for this 1-phase current input: 5A
or 1A.
These current inputs on C-I/O-2 are not suitable for interposed summation transformers with 100 mA rated output.
Table 3-13 gives a summary of the jumpers for the rated secondary currents.

Jumper

The rated currents of the measured current inputs can be determined for each analog
input. With default settings all jumpers are set to the same rated current (according to
the order number of the device).
The measured current inputs depend on the application and the ordered model of
7UT6:
For three-phase applications (also single-phase transformers):
There are 3 measuring inputs for each of the two 3-phase measuring locations M1
and M2: IL1M1, IL2M1, IL3M1, IL1M2, IL2M2, IL3M2.
The jumpers belonging to the measuring location M1 (X61, X62, X63) must all be
plugged to rated secondary current of the connected current transformers: 5A,
1A or 0.1A. Furthermore, the corresponding common jumper (X82) has to be
plugged to the same rated current.
The jumpers belonging to the measuring location M2 (X65, X66, X67) must all be
plugged to the rated secondary current of the connected current transformers: 5A,

292

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

3.1 Mounting and Connections

1A or 0.1A. Furthermore, the corresponding common jumper (X81) has to be


plugged to the same rated current.
For three-phase applications in 7UT635:
The auxiliary current inputs IX1 and IX3 can be used for the 5th 3-phase measuring
location M5. In this case set the jumpers X64, X68, X83, and X84 all to the required
rated secondary current for M5: 5A, 1A or 0.1A. Set X85 and X86 to position
12.
For single-phase busbar protection:
There are 6 measuring inputs for 6 different measuring locations, i.e. the feeders 1
to 6: I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, I6. Each input can be set individually (X61, X62, X63, X65, X66,
X67): 5A, 1A or 0.1A.
Only if the measuring inputs I1 to I3 have equal rated current, X82 is plugged to this
rated current.
Only if the measuring inputs I4 to I6 have equal rated current, X81 is plugged to this
rated current.
If different rated currents are reigning within the input groups, the corresponding
common jumper (X82, X81) is plugged to undef.
For the auxiliary 1-phase input IX1:
Jumpers X64 and X83 are both set to the required rated secondary current for this
1-phase current input: 5A, 1A.
But: If, in 7UT635, this input is used for a 5th 3-phase measuring location M5 then
set the jumpers to this rated secondary current (see above).
For the auxiliary 1-phase input IX3:
If this input is used as a normal 1-phase current input, set Jumpers X68 and X84
both to the required rated secondary current: 5A or 1A; set X85 and X86 both
into position 12.
If this input is used as a high-sensitivity current input, Jumper X68 is irrelevant; set
Jumper X84 to 1.6A; set X85 and X86 both into position 23.
But: If, in 7UT635, this input is used for a 5th 3-phase measuring location M5 then
set the jumpers to this rated secondary current (see above). X85 and X86 must the
be set to position 12.
Table 3-15 gives a summary of the jumpers for the rated currents.

The rated currents of the measured current inputs can be determined for each analog
input. With default settings all jumpers are set to the same rated current (according to
the order number of the device).
For three-phase applications (also single-phase transformers):
There are 3 measuring inputs for each of the 3-phase measuring locations M3 and
M4: IL1M3, IL2M3, IL3M3, IL1M4, IL2M4, IL3M4.
The jumpers belonging to the measuring location M3 (X61, X62, X63) must all be
plugged to the rated secondary current of the connected current transformers: 5A,
1A or 0.1A. Furthermore, the corresponding common jumper (X82) has to be
plugged to the same rated current.
The jumpers belonging to the measuring location M4 (X65, X66, X67) must all be
plugged to the rated secondary current of the connected current transformers: 5A,
1A or 0.1A. Furthermore, the corresponding common jumper (X81) has to be
plugged to the same rated current: the rated secondary current of the connected
current transformers.
For three-phase applications in 7UT635:
The auxiliary current inputs IX2 can be used for the 5th measuring location M5. In
this case set the jumpers X64 and X83 both to the required rated secondary current
for M5: 5A, 1A or 0.1A.
For single-phase busbar protection:
There are 6 measuring inputs for 6 different measuring locations, i.e. the feeders 7
to 12: I7, I8, I9, I10, I11, I12. Each input can be set individually (X61, X62, X63, X65,
X66, X67): 5A, 1A or 0.1A.
Only if the measuring inputs I7 to I9 have equal rated current, X82 is plugged to this
rated current.
Only if the measuring inputs I10 to I12 have equal rated current, X81 is plugged to
this rated current.
If different rated currents are reigning within the input groups, the corresponding
common jumper (X82, X81) is plugged to undef.
For the auxiliary 1-phase input IX2:
Jumper X64 is set to the required rated secondary current for this 1-phase current
input: 5A, 1A; set X83 to the same rated current.
But: If this input is used for the 5th measuring location M5 then set the jumpers to
this rated current (see above).

3.1 Mounting and Connections

For the auxiliary 1-phase input IX4:


If this input is used as a normal current input, set Jumpers X68 and X84 both to
the required rated secondary current: 5A, 1A. Set X85 and X86 both into position
12.
If this input is used as a high-sensitivity current input, Jumper X68 is irrelevant; set
Jumper X84 to 1.6A; set X85 and X86 both into position 23.
Table 3-15 gives a summary of the jumpers for the rated currents.

Location of the jumpers on interface module for RS232

With jumper X11 the flow control which is important for modem communication is enabled. Jumper settings are explained in the following:
Jumper setting 23: The modem control signals CTS (Clear-To-Send) according to
RS232 are not available. This is a standard connection via star coupler or optical fibre
converter. They are not required since the connection to the SIPROTEC devices is
always operated in the half-duplex mode. Please use connection cable with order
number 7XV51004.
Jumper setting 12: Modem signals are made available. For a direct RS232 connection between the device and the modem this setting can be selected optionally. We
recommend to use a standard RS232 modem connection cable (converter 9-pole on
25-pole).

The interface RS485 can be transformed into interface RS232 according to Figure 316.
Using interfaces with bus capability requires a termination for the last device at the
bus, i.e. terminating resistors must be switched to the line.
The terminating resistors are connected to the corresponding interface module that is
mounted to the processor input/output board C-CPU. Figure 3-15 shows the printed
circuit board of the C-CPU and the allocation of the modules.
The module for the RS485 interface is illustrated in Figure 3-17, for the profibus interface in Figure 3-18. The two jumpers of a module must always be plugged in the same
position.
When the module is delivered, the jumpers are plugged so that the resistors are disconnected.

3.2 Checking the Connections

Optical Fibres

Signals transmitted over optical fibres are unaffected by interference. The fibres guarantee electrical isolation between the connections. Transmit and receive connections
are identified with the symbols
for transmit and
for receive.
The character idle state for the optical fibre interface is Light off. If this setting is to
be changed, use the operating program DIGSI, as described in the SIPROTEC
System Manual, order-no. E50417H1176C151.

Warning!
Laser injection! Do not look directly into the fibre-optic elements!

RTD-Boxes

If one or two RTD-boxes 7XV566 are connected for considering the coolant temperature when using overload protection with hot-spot calculation, check this connection
at the service interface (Port C) or the additional interface (Port D).
Check also for the termination: The terminating resistors must be connected to the
device 7UT6 (see Subsection 3.1.3.4, margin heading RS485 Interface).
For notes concerning the 7XV566 see for the instruction manual attached to the device. Check the transmission parameters at the temperature measuring device. Besides Baud-rate and parity also the bus number is of primary importance.
For the connection of 1 RTD-box 7XV566:
bus number = 0 with Simplex-transmission (to be set at 7XV566),
bus number = 1 with Duplex-transmission (to be set at 7XV566),
For the connection of 2 RTD-boxes 7XV566:
bus number = 1 for the 1st RTD-box (to be set at 7XV566 for RTD1 to 6),
bus number = 2 for the 2nd RTD-box (to be set at 7XV566 for RTD7 to 12).

3 Installation and Commissioning

Before the device is energized for the first time, the device should be in the final operating environment for at least 2 hours to equalize the temperature and to minimize humidity and avoid condensation. Connection are checked with the device at its final location. The plant must first be switched off and grounded.
Connection examples for the current and voltage transformer circuits are given in the
Appendix Section A.3. Please observe the general diagrams (Appendix A.2) and the
plant diagrams, too.

o

Protective switches (e.g. test switches, fuses, or miniature circuit breakers) for the
power supply and the measured voltages must be opened.
Check the continuity of all current and voltage (if available) transformer connections
against the switch-gear and connection diagrams:

q Is the connection of all 3-phase current transformer sets to the device inputs correct
(refer to the set topology according to Subsection 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 for more details)?

q Is the connection of all 1-phase current transformers to the device inputs correct (refer to the set topology according to Subsection 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 for more details)?

q Are all current transformers grounded properly?


q Are the polarities of all current transformers the same for each CT set?
q Is the phase relationship of all 3-phase current transformer sets correct?
q Are the polarities for all 1-phase current inputs correct (as far as used)?
q Are the voltage transformers grounded properly (if used)?
q Are the polarities of the voltage transformers correct (if used)?
q Is the phase relationship of the voltage transformers correct (if used)?
q Is the polarity for voltage input U4 correct (if used, e.g. with open delta winding)?
o

Check the functions of all test switches that may be installed for the purposes of secondary testing and isolation of the device. Of particular importance are test switches
in current transformer circuits. Be sure these switches short-circuit the current transformers when they are in the test mode (open).
The short-circuit feature of the current circuits of the device are to be checked. An
ohmmeter or other test equipment for checking continuity is needed. Be sure that continuity is not simulated by the reverse connected current transformers themselves or
their short-circuit links.

q Remove the front panel of the device (see Figure 3-8 or 3-9).
q Remove the ribbon cable connected to the C-I/O-9 board

7UT613: C-I/O-9 Slot 33;


7UT633: C-I/O-9 Slot 33 right;

to 5 A for the meter is appropriate.
Close the protective switches to apply voltage to the power supply of the device.
Check the polarity and magnitude of the voltage at the device terminals.
The measured steady-state current should correspond to the quiescent power consumption of the device. Transient movement of the ammeter merely indicates the
charging current of capacitors.
Remove the voltage from the power supply by opening the protective switches.
Disconnect the measuring equipment; restore the normal power supply connections.
Close the protective switches for the voltage transformers (if used).
Verify that the voltage phase rotation at the device terminals is correct.
Open the protective switches for the voltage transformers (if used) and the power supply.
Check the trip circuits to the power system circuit breakers.

Commissioning

Warning!
Hazardous voltages are present in this electrical equipment during operation. Nonobservance of the safety rules can result in severe personal injury or property damage.
Only qualified personnel shall work on and around this equipment after becoming thoroughly familiar with all warnings and safety notices of this manual as well as with the
applicable safety regulations.
Particular attention must be drawn to the following:
The earthing screw of the device must be connected solidly to the protective earth
conductor before any other electrical connection is made.
Hazardous voltages can be present on all circuits and components connected to the
supply voltage or to the measuring and test quantities.
Hazardous voltages can be present in the device even after disconnection of the
supply voltage (storage capacitors!).
Wait for at least 10 s after having disconnected the supply voltage before you reapply the voltage in order to achieve defined initial conditions.
The limit values stated in the Technical Data must not be exceeded at all, not even
during testing and commissioning.
When testing the device with secondary test equipment, make sure that no other
measurement quantities are connected. Take also into consideration that the trip and
close commands to the circuit breakers and other primary switches are disconnected
from the device unless expressly stated.

DANGER!
Current transformer secondary circuits must have been short-circuited before
the current leads to the device are disconnected!
If test switches are installed that automatically short-circuit the current transformer
secondary circuits, it is sufficient to place them into the Test position provided the
short-circuit functions has been previously tested.
For the commissioning switching operations have to be carried out. A prerequisite for
the prescribed tests is that these switching operations can be executed without danger. They are accordingly not meant for operational checks.

Warning!
Primary tests must only be carried out by qualified personnel, who are familiar with the
commissioning of protection systems, the operation of the plant and the safety rules
and regulations (switching, earthing, etc.).

Testing Mode and Transmission Blocking


If the device is connected to a substation control system or a server, the user is able
to modify, in some protocols, information that is transmitted to the substation (see Section A.6 Protocol Dependent Functions in Appendix A).
In the WHVWLQJPRGH all messages sent from a SIPROTEC4 device to the substation are marked with an extra test bit so that the substation is able to identify them as
messages announcing no real faults. Furthermore the WUDQVPLVVLRQEORFNLQJ
function leads to a total blocking of the message transmission process via the system
interface in the testing mode.
Refer to System Manual (Order-no. E50417H1176C151) to know how the testing
mode and the transmission blocking can be enabled and disabled. Please note that it
is necessary to be 2QOLQH to be able to use the testing mode.

3.3.2

Checking Time Synchronization


If external time synchronization sources are used (IRIG B, DCF77) the data of the time
source (antenna system, time generator) are checked (see Subsection 4.1.4 under
Time Synchronization). Using time signal IRIG B or DCF77 the correct time must
appear at last 3 minutes after startup of the processor system, i.e. the clock alarm
must go off (message &ORFN6\QF(UURU2)) in the operating messages or spontaneous messages.

Checking the System (SCADA) Interface

Preliminary Notes

Provided that the device is equipped with a system (SCADA) interface that is used for
the communication with a central computer station, it is possible to test via the DIGSI
operational function whether the messages are being transmitted correctly. Do not apply this test feature while the device is in service on a live system!

DANGER!
The initiation or extraction of messages via the system (SCADA) interface using
the test function constitutes an actual exchange of information between the device and the control system. Connected equipment such as e.g. circuit breakers
or isolators may be switched as a result of this!

Note:
After termination of this test, the device will reboot. All annunciation buffers are
erased. If required, these buffers should be extracted with DIGSI prior to the test.
The interface test can be done using DIGSI in the online operating mode:

q Double-click on the 2QOLQH directory to open the required dialog box.


q Click on 7HVW and the functional options appear on the right side of the window.
q Double-click on 7HVWLQJ0HVVDJHVIRU6\VWHP,QWHUIDFH shown in the list

Checking the Binary Inputs and Outputs

Preliminary Notes

The binary inputs, outputs, and LEDs of a SIPROTEC 4 device can be individually
and precisely controlled using DIGSI. This feature is used to verify control wiring from
the device to plant equipment during commissioning. This test feature shall not be
used while the device is in service on a live system.

DANGER!
Changing the status of a binary input or output using the test feature of DIGSI
results in an actual and immediate corresponding change in the SIPROTEC device. Connected equipment such as circuit breakers or disconnectors will be
operated as a result of these actions!
Note: After termination of the hardware test, the device will reboot. Thereby, all annunciation buffers are erased. If required, these buffers should be extracted with DIGSI
prior to the test.
The hardware test can be done using DIGSI in the online operating mode:

q Open the 2QOLQH directory by double-clicking; the operating functions for the device appear.

q Click on 7HVW; the function selection appears in the right half of the screen.
q Double-click in the list view on +DUGZDUH7HVW. The dialogue box of the same
name opens (see Figure 3-22).

3.3 Commissioning

Structure of the
Test Dialogue Box

The dialogue box is divided into three groups: %, for binary inputs, 5(/ for output
relays, and /(' for light-emitting diodes. Each of these groups is associated with an
appropriately marked switching area. By double-clicking in an area, components within the associated group can be turned on or off.
In the 6WDWXV column, the present (physical) state of the hardware component is
displayed. The binary inputs and outputs are indicated by an open or closed switch
symbol, the LEDs by a dark or illuminated LED symbol.
The possible intended condition of a hardware component is indicated with clear text
under the 6FKHGXOHG column, which is next to the 6WDWXV column. The intended
condition offered for a component is always the opposite of the present state.
The right-most column indicates the commands or messages that are configured
(masked) to the hardware components.

Changing the
Hardware
Conditions

To change the condition of a hardware component, click on the associated switching


field in the 6FKHGXOHG column.
Password No. 6 (if activated during configuration) will be requested before the first
hardware modification is allowed. After entry of the correct password a condition
change will be executed.
Further condition changes remain possible while the dialog box is open.

Test of the Binary


Outputs

Each individual output relay can be energized allowing a check of the wiring between
the output relay of the 7UT6 and the plant, without having to generate the message
that is assigned to the relay. As soon as the first change of state for any one of the
output relays is initiated, all output relays are separated from the internal device functions, and can only be operated by the hardware test function. This implies that a
switching signal to an output relay from e.g. a protection function or control command
cannot be executed.

q Ensured that the switching of the output relay can be executed without danger (see
above under DANGER!).

q Each output relay must be tested via the corresponding 6FKHGXOHG-cell in the dialog box.

q The test sequence must be terminated (refer to margin heading Exiting the Procedure), to avoid the initiation of inadvertent switching operations by further tests.

Test of the Binary


Inputs

To test the wiring between the plant and the binary inputs of the 7UT6 the condition in
the plant which initiates the binary input must be generated and the response of the
device checked.
To do this, the dialogue box +DUGZDUH7HVW must again be opened to view the physical state of the binary inputs. The password is not yet required.

q Each state in the plant which causes a binary input to pick up must be generated.
q The response of the device must be checked in the 6WDWXV-column of the dialogue

box. To do this, the dialogue box must be updated. The options may be found below
under the margin heading Updating the Display.

If however the effect of a binary input must be checked without carrying out any switching in the plant, it is possible to trigger individual binary inputs with the hardware test
function. As soon as the first state change of any binary input is triggered and the

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

313

3 Installation and Commissioning

password nr. 6 has been entered, all binary inputs are separated from the plant and
can only be activated via the hardware test function.

q Terminate the test sequence (see above under the margin heading Exiting the Procedure).

Test of the LEDs

The LEDs may be tested in a similar manner to the other input/output components.
As soon as the first state change of any LED has been triggered, all LEDs are separated from the internal device functionality and can only be controlled via the hardware
test frunction. This implies that no LED can be switched on anymore by e.g. a protection function or operation of the LED reset key.

Updating the
Display

When the dialog box +DUGZDUH7HVW is opened, the present conditions of the hardware components at that moment are read in and displayed. An update occurs:
for each harware component, if a command to change the condition is successfully
performed,
for all hardware components if the 8SGDWH button is clicked,
for all hardware components with cyclical updating if the $XWRPDWLF8SGDWH
VHF field is marked.
To end the hardware test, click on &ORVH. The dialog box closes. The device becomes
unavailable for a brief start-up period immediately after this. Then all hardware components are returned to the operating conditions determined by the plant settings.

Procedure

3.3.5

Checking the Setting Consistency


The device 7UT6 checks settings of the protection functions against the corresponding configuration parameters. Any inconsistencies will be reported. For instance, earth
fault differential protection cannot be applied if there is no measuring input for the starpoint current between starpoint of the protected object and the earthing electrode.
The device also checks the matching factors between the rated currents of the CTs
and the operational currents of the protected object(s) as processed by the protection
functions. If very high deviations combined with sensitive protection settings are discovered an alarm is output which also indicates the suspicious setting address(es).
In the operational or spontaneous annunciations check if there is any information on
inconsistencies. Table 3-23 shows such inconsistency annunciations.

In the operational or spontaneous annunciations also check whether there are any
suspect annunciations from the device.
The matching factors of all measured value inputs are indicated in the operational annunciations. It is recommended to check these factors even if none of the above mentioned alarms is present. The indicated factors are:
general the ratio of the nominal current/voltage of the side referred to the rated current/voltage of the instrument transformers at the measuring locations;
for differential protection the ratio of the nominal current of the protected object referred to the rated current of the current transformers at the measuring locations;
for restricted earth fault protection the ratio of the nominal current of the assigned
side of the protected object referred to the rated current of the starpoint current
transformer.
None of the factors should be greater than 5 or smaller than 0.2. Otherwise the risk of
higher measuring errors could arise. If a factor is greater than 50 or smaller than 0.02,
unexpected reactions of protection functions may occur.

Checking for Breaker Failure Protection


If the device is equipped with the breaker failure protection and this function is used,
the interaction with the breakers of the power plant must be tested.
Because of the manifold application facilities and various configuration possibilities of
the power plant it is not possible to give detailed description of the test steps necessary to verify the correct interaction between the breaker failure protection and the
breakers. It is important to consider the local conditions and the protection and plant
drawings.
It is advised to isolate the circuit breaker of the tested feeder at both sides, i.e. to keep
the busbar disconnector and the line disconnector open, in order to ensure operation
of the breaker without risk.

Caution!
Tripping of the complete busbar or busbar section may occur even during tests at the
local feeder breaker. Therefore, it is recommended to interrupt the tripping commands
to the adjacent (busbar) breakers e.g. by switch-off of the associated control voltage.
Nevertheless ensure that trip remains possible in case of a real primary fault if parts
of the power plant are in service.
The trip command of the tested differential protection is made ineffective so that the
local breaker can be tripped only by the breaker failure protection function.
The following lists do not claim to cover all possibilities. On the other hand, they may
contain items that can be bypassed in the actual application.
Circuit Breaker
Auxiliary Contacts

The circuit breaker auxiliary contact(s) form an essential part of the breaker failure protection system in case they have been connected to the device. Make sure that the
correct assignment has been checked (Subsection 3.3.4). Make sure that the measured currents for breaker failure protection (CTs), the tested circuit breaker, and its
auxiliary contact(s) relate to the same measuring location or side of the protected object.

External Initiation
Conditions

If the breaker failure protection is intended to be initiated by external protection devices, each of the external initiation conditions must be checked.
At least the tested phase of the device must be subjected to a test current to enable
initiation of the breaker failure protection. This may be a secondary injected current.

q Start by trip command of the external protection:

Binary input !%UN)DLOH[W65& (FNo ); look up in the trip log or spontaneous messages.

q Following initiation the message %NU)DLOH[W38 (FNo ) must appear in


the fault annunciations (trip log) or in the spontaneous messages.

q With two-stage breaker failure protection, trip command to the local circuit breaker
after the delay time 7 (address ).

q With single- or two-stage failure protection, trip command to the adjacent circuit
breakers after the delay time 7 (address ).

Switch off test current.

q With single- or two-stage failure protection, indication %)775,3 EXV (FNo


) and trip command to the adjacent circuit breakers after the delay time 7
(address ).

Reopen the circuit breakers.


Busbar Trip

The most important thing is the check of the correct distribution of the trip commands
to the adjacent circuit breakers in case the local breaker fails.
The adjacent circuit breakers are those of all feeders which must be tripped in order
to ensure interruption of the fault current should the local breaker fail. In other words,
the adjacent breaker are those of all feeders which may feed the same busbar or busbar section as the faulty feeder. In case of a power transformer, the adjacent breakers
may include the breaker of the other side of the transformer.
The identification of the adjacent feeders depends widely on the topology of the busbar and its possible arrangement or switching states. That is why a generally detailed
test description cannot be specified.
In particular if multiple busbars are concerned the trip distribution logic to the other
breakers must be checked. It must be verified for each busbar section that all breakers
connected to the same section are tripped in case the concerned feeder breaker fails,
and no other breakers.

Termination of the
Checks

318

After completion of the tests, re-establish all provisory measures which might have
been taken for the above tests. Ensure that the states of all switching devices of the
plant are correct, that interrupted trip commands are reconnected and control voltages
are switched on, that setting values which might have been altered are reverted to correct values, and that protective function are switched to the intended state (on or off).

Symmetrical Current Tests on the Protected Object


Should secondary test equipment be connected to the device, it is to be removed or,
if applying, test switches should be in normal operation position.
Note:
It must be taken into consideration that tripping may occur if connections were made
wrong.
The measured quantities of the following tests can be read out from the PC using
DIGSI or a web browser via the IBS-Tool. This provides comfortable read-out possibilities for all measured values with visualisation using phasor diagrams.
If you choose to work with the IBS-Tool, please note the Help files referring to the IBSTool. The IP-address needed for the browser depends on the port where the PC is
connected:
Connection to the front operation interface: IP-address 141.141.255.160
Connection to the rear service interface: IP-address 141.143.255.160
Transmission speed is 115 kBit/s.
The following descriptions refer to read-out using DIGSI. All measured values can be
retrieved in the device display, too.

Preparation of
Symmetrical
Current Tests

At first commissioning, current checks must be performed before the protected object
is energized for the first time. This ensures that the differential protection is operative
as a short-circuit protection during the first excitation of the protected object with voltage. If current checks are only possible with the protected object under voltage (e.g.
power transformers in networks when no low-voltage test equipment is available), it is
imperative that a backup protection, e.g. time overcurrent protection, be commissioned before, which operates at least at the feeding side. The trip circuit of other protection devices (e.g. Buchholz protection) must either remain operative.
If more than 2 measuring locations are present for the main protected object, the test
must be repeated such that each possible current path through the protected object
will have been part of a test. It is not necessary to test each possible current path but
each measuring location must be included in a test current path at least once. Thus,
it is advised to begin with the side S1 of the main protected object. If a side has more
than one measuring location each must be included in a test. The other measuring locations remain current-free.
If further protected object are present these are tested individually according to their
topology.
The test arrangement varies dependent on the application.

DANGER!
Operations in the primary area must be performed only with plant sections
voltage-free and earthed! Perilous voltages may occur even on voltage-free
plant sections due to capacitive influence caused by other live sections.

3 Installation and Commissioning

On network power transformers and asynchronous machines, a low-voltage test


equipment is preferably used. A low-voltage source is used to energize the protected
object, which is completely disconnected from the network (see Figure 3-23). On
transformers, the test source is normally connect at the primary side. A short-circuit
bridge which is capable to carry the test current, is installed outside of the protected
zone and allows the symmetrical current to flow. On a motor, its star point enables current flow.

On power station unit transformers and synchronous machines, the checks are performed during the current tests. The generator itself forms the test current source (see

On busbars and short lines, a low-voltage test source can be used. Alternatively, load
current test is possible. In the latter case the above hint about backup protection must
be observed!
With the single-phase differential protection for busbars with more than 2 feeders,
symmetrical current test is not necessary (but permissible, of course). The test can be
carried out using a single-phase current source. Current tests must be performed for
each possible current path, e.g. feeder 1 against feeder 2, feeder 1 against feeder 3,

etc. Please read at first the notes about Checking for Busbar Protection, Subsection
3.3.9 (page 332).
Realization of
Symmetrical
Current Tests

Before beginning with the first current test check the correct polarity setting for measuring location 1 on the basis of address  675317!2%-0 and compare with the
actual current connections. Refer to Section 2.1.3 under Current Transformer Data
for 3-phase Measuring Locations (page 42) for more details. This check is also important for devices with measured voltage inputs as all further wrong polarities will not
be recognized because the protection functions may operate even correctly if all polarities are wrong. Only during power check (Subsection 3.3.11) the errors would be
recognized.
For this commissioning tests, the test current must be at least 2 % of the rated relay
current for each phase.
These tests cannot replace visual inspection of the correct current transformer connections. Therefore, the inspection according to Section 3.2.2 is a prerequisite.
Since 7UT6 offers comprehensive commissioning aids commissioning can be performed quickly and without external instrumentation. The following indices are used
for the display of measured values:
The equation symbol for current (I, ) is followed by the phase identifier L and by a
number that identifies the side (e.g. the transformer winding) or the measuring location. Example:
IL1S1 current in phase L1 on side S1,
IL1M1 current in phase L1 on measuring location M1.
The following procedure applies to a three-phase protected object for measuring location M1 against measuring location M2. For transformers it is assumed that measuring
location 1 is assigned to side 1, and this is the high voltage side of the transformer.
The other possible current paths are tested in an analogous way.

Switch on the test current, or start up the generator and bring it to nominal speed and
excite it to the required test current. None of the measurement monitoring functions in
the device must respond. If there was a fault message, however, the Event Log or
spontaneous messages could be checked to investigate the reason for it. Refer also
to the SIPROTEC 4 System Manual, order-no. E50417H1176C151.

q At the indication of imbalance there might actually be asymmetries of the primary

system. If they are part of normal operation, the corresponding monitoring function
is set less sensitive (see Subsection 2.14.2 under Measured Value Supervision,
page 226).

q Phase rotation is clockwise in most cases. If the system has an counter-clockwise

phase rotation, this must have been considered when the power system data was
set (address  3+$6(6(4, refer to Sub-section 2.1.3 under margin header
Phase Sequence, page 36). If the phase rotation is incorrect, the alarm )DLO
3K6HT, (FNo ) is generated. The measuring location with wrong phase
rotation is also stated. The phase allocation of the measured value inputs must be
checked and corrected, if required. The phase rotation check must then be repeated.

Magnitude measurement with applied test current:


Compare the measured values under 0HDVXUHPHQW 6HFRQGDU\9DOXHV
2SHUDWLRQDOYDOXHVVHFRQGDU\ with the real values. This applies for all measuring locations included in the test.

3 Installation and Commissioning

Note: The IBS Tool provides comfortable read-out possibilities for all measured values with visualisation using phasor diagrams (Figure 3-25).
If deviations occur which cannot be explained by measuring tolerances, an error can
be assumed in the device connections or in the test arrangement.

q Switch off the test source and the protected object (shut down the generator) and
earth it.

q Re-check the assignment or the tested measuring location (Section 2.1.2 under
header margin Assignment of 3-phase Measuring Locations).

q Re-check the settings for the magnitude matching (Section 2.1.3 under header margin Current Transformer Data for 3-phase Measuring Locations).

q Re-check the plant connections to the device and the test arrangement and correct
them if necessary.
If a substantial zero sequence current 3I0 occurs one of the currents of the corresponding measuring location must be missing or have a wrong polarity.
3I0 phase current one or two phase currents are missing,
3I0 doubled phase current one or two phase currents have a reversed polarity.

q Repeat test and re-check the current magnitudes.

If the angles are wrong, reverse polarity or swapped phase connections on measuring
location 1 may be the cause.

q Switch off the test source and the protected object (shut down the generator) and
earth it.

of measuring location 2. All angles are referred to I L1M1.
Consider that always the currents flowing into the protected object are defined as positive. That means that, with through-flowing in-phase currents, the currents leaving the
protected object at measuring location 2, have reversed polarity (180 phase displacement) against the corresponding in-flowing currents at measuring location 1. Exception: With transverse differential protection, the currents of the corresponding phase
have equal phase!
For clockwise phase rotation and without phase displacement, the angles should be
approximately:
L1M2 180
L1M2 60
L1M2 300.
When measuring across a power transformer, approximately the values according to
Table 3-25 result for clockwise phase rotation.

The stated angles are valid if the high-voltage winding is side 1. Otherwise read 360 minus the stated angle

If considerable deviations occur, reversed polarity or swapped phases are expected


on measuring location M2 or the actually tested measuring location.

q Deviation in individual phases indicates reversed polarity in the related phase current connection or acyclically swapped phases.

q If all phase angles differ by the same value, phase current connections of measuring location M2 are cyclically swapped or the connection group of the transformer
differs from the set group. In the latter case, re-check the matching parameters
(Subsection 2.1.3 under margin Object Data with Transformers, page 36) under
addresses  for side 1,  and  for side 2, or the corresponding parameters
for the tested measuring location. Consider also the assignment of the measuring
location to the side and the side to the protected object.

q If all phase angles differ by 180, the polarity of the complete CT set for measuring

location M2 is wrong. Check and correct the applicable power system data (cf. Subsection 2.1.3 under Current Transformer Data for 3-phase Measuring Locations,
page 42):
address  675317!2%-0 for measuring location M1,
address  675317!2%-0 for measuring location M2,
or the corresponding parameters for the tested measuring location.
For single-phase busbar protection refer to Subsection 2.1.3 under header margin
Current Transformer Data for 1-phase Busbar Protection.

If connection errors are assumed:

q Switch off the test source and the protected object (shut down the generator) and
earth it.

q Re-check the plant connections to the device and the test arrangement and correct
them. Check also the corresponding setting for the CT data.

q Repeat test and re-check the current angles.


All pre-described test must be repeated until every measuring location of the main protected object has been included in at least one test.
Measuring of the
Differential and
Restraint Currents

324

Before the tests with symmetrical currents for a current path are terminated, the differential and restraint currents are examined. Even though the above tests with symmetrical current should have widely detected connection errors, nevertheless, errors are
possible concerning current matching and the assignment of the connection group
cannot be completely excluded.

The differential and restraint currents are referred to the nominal currents of the protected object. This must be considered when they are compared with the test currents.

q The restraint currents correspond to twice the through-flowing test currents.


q If there are differential currents in the size of the restraint currents (approximately

twice the through-flowing test current), you may assume a polarity reversal of the
current transformer(s) at one side. Check the polarity again and set it right after
short-circuiting all the six current transformers. If you have modified these current
transformers, also perform an angle test.

q If there are differential currents which are nearly equal in all three phases, matching
of the measured values may be erroneous. Wrong connection group of a power
transformer can be excluded because they should have been detected during the
phase angle test. Re-check the settings for current matching. These are mainly the
data of the protected object:

Finally, switch off the test source and the protected object (shut down the generator).

Please keep in mind that the previous tests must be repeated for each current path.

3.3.8

Zero Sequence Current Tests on the Protected Object


The zero sequence current tests are only necessary if the starpoint of a three-phase
object or a single-phase transformer is earthed on a side or winding. If more than one
starpoint is earthed then the zero sequence current test has to be performed for each
earthed winding.

326

7UT6 Manual
C53000G1176C1601

3.3 Commissioning

If the current between starpoint and earth is available and fed to one of the 1-phase
current inputs of the device the polarity of the earth current (starpoint current) at a 1phase current input is essential for zero sequence current inclusion of the differential
protection and the restricted earth fault protection. If the starpoint current is not available then the zero sequence current tests serve for verification of the correct processing of the zero sequence currents in the differential protection.

Note:
It must be taken into consideration that tripping may occur if connections were made
wrong.

Preparation of Zero
Sequence Current
Tests

Zero sequence current measurements are always performed from that side or measuring location of the protected object where the starpoint is earthed, on auto-transformers from the high-voltage side. Power transformers shall be equipped with a delta
winding (delta-winding or compensating winding). The sides which are not included in
the tests remain open as the delta winding ensures low-ohmic termination of the current path.
The test arrangement varies with the application. Figure 3-27 shows a schematic examples of the test arrangement on a star-delta power transformer. In the Figures 3-28
to 3-34, the starpoint current is included into the tests. If it is not available the relevant
connection is omitted.

DANGER!
Operations in the primary area must be performed only with plant sections
voltage-free and earthed! Perilous voltages may occur even on voltage-free
plant sections due to capacitive influence caused by other live sections.

For this commissioning tests, the zero sequence current must be at least 2 % of the

Magnitude measurement with applied test current:
Compare the measured values under 0HDVXUHPHQW 6HFRQGDU\9DOXHV

All phase currents of the tested measuring location correspond to approximately
1
/3 of the test current (1/2 with single-phase transformers).
3I0 of the tested measuring location corresponds to the test current.
Phase currents and zero sequence current of the other measuring location are, on
transformers, nearly 0.
The current at the 1-phase current input correspond to the test current provided
this current is available and included.
Deviation can practically occur only for the 1-phase current (if included) because the
connection of the phase currents had been verified already during the symmetrical
tests. When deviations on the 1-phase current occur:

q Switch off the test source and the protected object (shut down the generator) and
earth it.

q Re-check the assignment or the tested 1-phase input (Section 2.1.2 under header
margin Assignment of Auxiliary 1-phase Measuring Locations).

q Re-check the settings for the magnitude matching (Section 2.1.3 under header margin Current Transformer Data for 1-phase Auxiliary Current Inputs).

q Re-check the connections for the 1-phase input, the assignment according to the

Measuring Differential and Restraint


Currents

o
o

The differential and restraint currents are referred to the nominal currents of the tested
side of the main protected object. If a zero sequence current test does not concern the
main protected object but a different earthed object (e.g. a shunt reactor outside the
main object) then the base of the referred currents is the nominal current of that 3phase measuring location to which the 1-phase current input is assigned, i.e. the
measuring location under test. This must be considered when they are compared with
the test currents.
Switch on test current.
If the starpoint current is available:
Read out the differential and restraint currents under 0HDVXUHPHQW 3HUFHQW
9DOXHV 'LIIHUHQWLDODQG5HVWUDLQW&XUUHQWV.

q The differential current of the restricted earth fault protection IDiffREF must be low,
at least one scale less than the test current.

q The restraint current IRestREF corresponds to twice the test current.


q If the differential current is in the size of the restraint current (approximately twice

the test current), you may assume a polarity reversal of the 1-phase current transformer. Check the polarity again and compare it with the setting in address 
($57+,;$7 if the additional 1-phase input IX1 is under test (cf. also Subsection
2.1.3 under margin Current Transformer Data for 1-phase Auxiliary Current Inputs
(page 46), or accordingly the parameters for the actual input under test.

q If there is a differential current which does not correspond to twice the test current,

the matching factor for the 1-phase input may be incorrect. Check the settings relevant for current matching. These are mainly the data of the protected object and
its current transformers (Subsection 2.1.3):

in all cases addresses  and , or  , etc. (depending on the used 1phase input) and under Current Transformer Data for 1-phase Auxiliary Current
Inputs (page 46).

In all cases (whether or not the starpoint current is available):


Check the differential currents IDiffL1, IDiffL2, IDiffL3.

q The differential currents of the differential protection must be low, at least one scale
less than the test current. If considerable differential currents occur, re-check the
settings for the starpoints:

Starpoint conditioning of a transformer: addresses  67$53176,'(,

q Countercheck: The restraint currents of the differential protection IRestL1, IRest L2,

IRestL3 are equally small. If all tests have been successful until now, this should be
ensured.

If parameter settings have been changed for the tests, reset them to the values necessary for operation.
Please keep in mind that the previous tests must be repeated for each earthed side.

3.3.9

Checking for Busbar Protection

General

For single-phase busbar protection with one device per phase or with summation
transformers, the same checks have to be performed as described in Subsection 3.3.7
Symmetrical Current Tests on the Protected Object. Please observe the following 4
notes:
1. Checks are often done with operational currents or primary testing devices.
Please take note of all warnings you can find in the sections and be aware of the
fact that you will require a backup protection at the supplying point.
2. Checks have to be performed for every current path, beginning with the supplying
feeder.
3. When using one device per phase, checks are to be performed for each phase. In
the following you can find some more information on summation transformers.
4. However, each check is restricted on one current pair, i.e. on the one traversing
testing current. Information on vector group matching and vectors (except the
phase angle comparison of the traversing current = 180 at the sides tested) or
similar is not relevant.

Connection via
Summation CTs

If summation transformers are used, different connection possibilities exist. The following clarification are based on the normal connection mode L1L3E according to
Figure 3-35. Figure 3-36 applies for connection L1L2L3.
Single-phase primary tests are to be preferred, since they evoke clearer differences in
the measured currents. They also detect connecting errors in the earth current path.
The measured current to be read out in the operational measured values only corresponds to the testing current if three-phase symmetrical check is performed. In other
cases there are deviations which are listed in the figures as factor of the testing current.

Deviations which cannot be explained by measuring tolerances may be caused by


connection errors or matching errors of the summation transformers:

q Switch off the test source and the protected object and earth it.
q Re-check the connections and the test arrangement and correct them.
q Repeat test and re-check the current magnitudes.
The phase angles must be 180 in all cases.
Check the differential and restraint currents.
If single-phase primary checks cannot be carried out but only symmetrical operational
currents are available, polarity or connecting errors in the earth current path with summation transformer connection L1L3E according to Figure 3-35 will not be detected
with the before-mentioned checks. In this case, asymmetry is to be achieved by secondary manipulation.
Therefore the current transformer of phase L2 is short-circuited. See Figure 3-37.

DANGER!
All precautionary measures must be observed when working on the instrument
transformers! Secondary connections of the current transformers must have
been short-circuited before any current lead to the relay is interrupted!

3.3.10 Checking for the Non-Assigned 1-Phase Current Inputs


As far as 1-phase current inputs belong to the main protected object, i.e. they are assigned to a side of the main protected object, they were already checked with the zero
sequence current tests as described in Subsection 3.3.8.
Even if they are not assigned to the main protected object but to a 3-phase measuring
location of a further protected object (e.g. restricted earth fault protection for a separate neutral earthing reactor), the procedure according to Subsection 3.3.8 applies.
Perform the zero sequence current tests unless it has yet been done.
Single-phase measured current inputs of the device can also be used for any desired
1-phase protection function. If this is an actual case and the same input has not yet
been checked as a starpoint current input of the main protected object, an additional
check of this 1-phase input must be carried out.
The test methods depend widely on the application of the 1-phase input.
By any means, the nominal currents and matching factors for the magnitude have to
be checked. Consider whether or not the input under test is a high-sensitivity input (address  $8;&7,;7<3( or  $8;&7,;7<3(, refer to Subsection 2.1.2
under High-Sensitivity Auxiliary 1-phase Measuring Locations page 33). The data
are set according to Subsection 2.1.3, margin heading Current Transformer Data for
1-phase Auxiliary Current Inputs (page 46). For normal inputs, the nominal primary
and secondary CT currents are decisive (addresses , , , , , ,
, ); for high-sensitivity inputs the ratios (address  )$&725&7,; and/
or  )$&725&7,;).
Polarity check is not required since only the current magnitude is processed.
With high-impedance protection the assigned 1-phase current corresponds to the fault
current in the protected object. Polarity of all current transformers supplying the resistor, whose current is measured, must be uniform. Here, traversing currents are used
as for differential protection checks. Each current transformer must be included into a

C53000G1176C1601

3.3 Commissioning

measurement. The measured current must not exceed, for each through-current test,
the half of the pickup value of the single-phase time overcurrent protection.

3.3.11 Checking the Voltage Connections


Voltage and Phase
Rotation Check

If the device is connected to voltage transformers, these connections are checked using primary values. For devices without voltage transformer connection this Section
can be bypassed.
The voltage transformer connections are tested for that measuring location or side to
which they are assigned. Refer to Subsection 2.1.2 under margin header Assignment
of Voltage Measuring Inputs (page 34), address .

Having energized the voltage transformer set, none of the measurement monitoring
functions in the device may respond.

q If there was a fault message, however, the Event Log or spontaneous messages
could be checked to investigate the reason for it.

q At the indication of voltage summation error check also the assignment of the 1-

phase voltage input and the matching factors. For further details see Subsection
2.1.2 under margin header Assignment of Voltage Measuring Inputs (page 34).

q At the indication of balance monitoring there might actually be asymmetries of the

primary system. If they are part of normal operation, the corresponding monitoring
function is set less sensitive (see Subsection 2.14.2 under Voltage Balance, page
218).

The voltages can be read on the display at the front, or called up in the PC via the operator or service interface, and compared with the actual measured quantities as primary or secondary values. Besides the magnitudes of the phase-to-phase and the
phase-to-earth voltages, the phase angles can be read out thus enabling to verify the
correct phase sequence and polarity of individual voltage transformers. The voltages
can also be read with the IBS-Tool (see example in Figure 3-38).

The voltage magnitudes should be almost equal. All the three angles must be approximately 120 to each other.

q If the measured quantities are not plausible, the connections must be checked and

revised after switching off the measuring location. If the phase difference angle between two voltages is 60 instead of 120, one voltage must be polarity-reversed.
The same applies if there are phase-to-phase voltages which almost equal the
phase-to-ground voltages instead of having a value that is 3 greater. The measurements are to be repeated after setting the connections right.

q In general, the phase rotation is a clockwise phase rotation. If the system has an

counter-clockwise phase rotation, this must be considered in address  3+$6(


6(4 (see Subsection 2.1.3 under Phase Sequence, page 36). Wrong phase rotation is indicated with the annunciation )DLO3K6HT8 (FNo ). The
measured value allocation must be checked and corrected, if required, after the
measuring location has been isolated. The phase rotation check must then be repeated.

Currents and voltages in the IBS-Tool example

Assignment and
Polarity Check

Voltages are also used for calculation of powers and metering of energy. Therefore, it
must be checked whether the connected voltages have correct relationship with respect to the currents which are to be used for power calculation.
Primary tests are preferred as secondary tests cannot proof the correct polarity.
A load current of at least 5 % of the operational nominal current is required. Any direction is possible but must be known.

At first, check whether power measurement is carried out at the desired measuring location, i.e. that the assignment of the 3-phase voltage transformer set is made correct.
The powers are always calculated from the connected voltages and the currents of
that measuring location to which the voltages are assigned. If the voltage inputs are
assigned to a side of the protected object with more than one measuring location, the
sum of the currents flowing into the protected object is decisive.
Check address  976(7. Refer to Subsection 2.1.2 under margin heading Assignment of Voltage Measuring Inputs (page 34) for more details.

measured values in the front display panel or via the operator or service interface with

3.3 Commissioning

Here, again, the IBS Tool is a comfortable help as the vector diagrams also show the
correlation between the currents and voltages (Figure 3-38). Cyclically and acyclically
swapped phases can easily be detected.

With the aid of the measured power values you are able to verify that they correlate to
the load direction, reading either at the device itself or in DIGSI (Figure 3-39):
P positive, if active power flows into the protected object,
P negative, if active power leaves the protected object,
Q positive, if (inductive) reactive power flows into the protected object,
Q negative, if (inductive) reactive power leaves the protected object.

Complex (apparent) power

If all signs are inverted this may be intentional. Check the setting of address  34
VLJQ in the power system data 2 (see also Subsection 2.1.9 under Sign of Power
(page 67).
If the test results do not match the power sign setting, polarity reversal in the voltage
transformer connections is probable. If wrong sign is indicated in spite of correct VT
connections, all CT polarities must be wrong!
If the voltage inputs are assigned to a side with more than one current measuring location, currents may flow through the measuring locations without entering the protected object. Power measurement is not possible in this case. Make sure that the currents for power measurement flow really through the protected object. Preferably use
only one measuring location for the power test.
Finally, disconnect the power plant.

3.3.12 Testing User Specified Functions


7UT6 has a vast capability for allowing functions to be defined by the user, especially
with the CFC logic. Any special function or logic added to the device must be checked.
Naturally, general test procedures cannot be given. Rather, the configuration of these
user defined functions and the necessary associated conditions must be known and
verified. Of particular importance are possible interlocking conditions of the switchgear (circuit breakers, isolators, etc.). They must be considered and tested.

3.3.13 Stability Check and Triggering Oscillographic Recordings


At the end of commissioning, an investigation of switching operations of the circuit
breaker(s), under load conditions, should be done to assure the stability of the protection system during the dynamic processes. Oscillographic recordings obtain the maximum information about the behaviour of the 7UT6.
Requirements

Along with the capability of recording waveform data during system faults, the 7UT6
also has the capability of capturing the same data when commands are given to the
device via the service program DIGSI, the serial interfaces, or a binary input. For the
latter, the binary input must be assigned to the function !7ULJ:DYH&DS (FNo
). Triggering for the oscillographic recording then occurs when the input is energized.
An oscillographic recording that is externally triggered (that is, without a protective element pickup or device trip) is processed by the device as a normal fault recording
with the exception that data are not given in the fault messages (trip log). The externally triggered record has a number for establishing a sequence.

Triggering with
DIGSI

To trigger oscillographic recording with DIGSI, click on 7HVW in the left part of the window. Double click the entry 7HVW:DYH)RUP in the list in the right part of the window
to trigger the recording. See Figure 3-40.
A report is given in the bottom left region of the screen. In addition, message segments
concerning the progress of the procedure are displayed.
The SIGRA program or the Comtrade Viewer program is required to view and analyse
the oscillographic data.
Such test records are especially informative on power transformers when they are triggered by the switch-on command of the transformer. Since the inrush current may
have the same effect as a single-ended infeed but must not initiate tripping, the effectiveness of the inrush restraint is checked by energizing the power transformer several
times.
The trip circuit should be interrupted or the differential protection should be switched
to ',))3527 = %ORFNUHOD\ (address ) during this tests in order to avoid
tripping.

C53000G1176C1601

3.3 Commissioning

Figure 3-40

Triggering oscillographic recording with DIGSI example

As the pickup signal of the protection is not stabilized, the inrush current will start fault
recording automatically provided the pickup threshold is reached.
Conclusions as to the effectiveness of the inrush restraint can be drawn from the recording of the differential currents and the harmonic contents. If necessary the inrush
current restraint effect can be increased (smaller value of +$5021,&, address
) when trip occurs or when the recorded data show that the second harmonic
content does not safely exceed the restraining threshold (address ). A further
method to increase inrush stability is to set the crossblock function effective or to increase the duration of the crossblock function (address $ &5266%+$50).
For further detail refer to Subsection 2.2.7 under Harmonic Restraint, page 103).
Note:
Do not forget to switch the differential protection 21 (address ) after completion
of the test.

Verify that all service settings are correct. This is a crucial step because some setting
changes might have been made during commissioning. The protective settings under
device configuration, input/output configuration are especially important as well as the
power system data, and activated Groups A through D (if applicable). All desired elements and functions must be set 21. See (Chapter 2). Keep a copy of all of the inservice settings on a PC.
Check the internal clock of the device. If necessary, set the clock or synchronize the
clock if it is not automatically synchronized. For assistance, refer to the system manual.
The annunciation memory buffers should be cleared, particularly the operational messages (event log) and fault messages (trip log). Future information will then only apply
for actual system events and faults. To clear the buffers, press 0$,10(18 $Q
QXQFLDWLRQ 6HW5HVHW. Refer to the system manual if further assistance is
needed. The numbers in the switching statistics should be reset to the values that
were existing prior to the testing, or to values in accordance with the user's practices.
Set the statistics by pressing 0$,10(18 $QQXQFLDWLRQ 6WDWLVWLF.
Press the

ESC

key, several times if necessary, to return to the default display.

Clear the LEDs on the front panel by pressing the LED key. Any output relays that were
picked up prior to clearing the LEDs are reset when the clearing action is performed.
Future indications of the LEDs will then apply only for actual events or faults. Pressing
the LED key also serves as a test for the LEDs because they should all light when the
button is pushed. Any LEDs that are lit after the clearing attempt are displaying actual
conditions.
The green 581 LED must be on. The red (5525 LED must not be lit.
Close the protective switches. If test switches are available, then these must be in the
operating position.
The device is now ready for operation.

Service Conditions
The device is designed for use in an industrial environment or an electrical utility
environment, for installation in standard relay rooms and compartments so that proper
installation and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is ensured. In addition, the
following are recommended:
All contactors and relays that operate in the same cubicle, cabinet, or relay panel
as the numerical protective device should, as a rule, be equipped with suitable
surge suppression components.
For substations with operating voltages of 100 kV and above, all external cables
should be shielded with a conductive shield grounded at both ends. The shield must
be capable of carrying the fault currents that could occur. For substations with lower
operating voltages, no special measures are normally required.
Do not withdraw or insert individual modules or boards while the protective device
is energized. When handling the modules or the boards outside of the case,
standards for components sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) must be
observed. The modules, boards, and device are not endangered when the device
is completely assembled.

Connection example 7UT613 for 3 single-phase auto-transformers arranged as a three-phase transformer


bank with accessible earth connections fitted with current transformers (M3).
The current transformers in line with the earth connections form a separate side of the protected object allowing current comparison for each transformer of the bank.
The starpoint connection of the current transformers at M3 is fed via an auxiliary 1-phase current input (IX1)
which allows for use of the restricted earth fault protection and/or the earth overcurrent protection.

Notes:
Depending on the version and the variant ordered some addresses may be missing or have different default
settings.
The setting ranges and presettings listed in the following tables refer to a nominal current value IN = 1 A. For a
secondary nominal current value IN = 5 A the current values are to be multiplied by 5. Referred values are
based on the nominal current of the respective side or measuring location, or on the rating of the protected
object.
Addresses which have an A attached to their end can only be changed in DIGSI, under Additional Settings.

List of Information

Notes:
The following tables list all data which are available in the maximum complement of the device. Depending on
the version and the variant ordered only those data may be present which are valid for the actual version.
The leading > sign indicates a binary input as a source.
Indications according to IEC 60870-5-103 are always announced ON and OFF if they are mandatory for
general interrogation, otherwise only ON.
User-specified indications or indications which are user-allocated to the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol, are announced ON and OFF only in case they are not configured as pulse outputs.
The following terminology applies for the columns under Log-Buffers:
