Section 2: Hardware Description


2.1

General

The structure of the relay is based upon the Reyrolle Compact hardware platform. The relays are supplied in a
size E4 case (where 1 x E = width of approx. 26mm). The hardware design provides commonality between
products and components across the Reyrolle Compact range of relays.

Case

The relays are housed in cases designed to fit directly into standard panel racks. The case has a width of 104mm
and a height of 177 mm (4U). The required panel depth (with wiring clearance) is 242 mm.
The complete relay assembly is withdrawable from the front of the case. Contacts in the case ensure that the CT
circuits and normally closed contacts remain short-circuited when the relay is removed. To withdraw the relay,
remove the plastic fascia cover by rotating the two securing pins and withdraw using the plastic handles. The
relay should not be carried using these handles. The relay should only be held by the top and bottom plates and
the user should not touch the exposed PCBs.

Figure 2-1 Relay shown withdrawn

7SR158 Technical Manual

The rear terminal blocks comprise M4 female terminals for wire connections. Each terminal can accept two 4mm
crimps.

Figure 2-2 Rear view of Relay

Located at the top rear of the case is a screw clamp earthing point, this must be connected to terminal 28 and
directly to the main panel earth.
See Chapter 5 (Installation Guide) for full details of panel cut-out and internal clearance requirements.

2.3

Front Cover

As standard the relay is supplied with a transparent front cover. The front cover is used to secure the relay
assembly in the case.

Figure 2-3 Relay with standard transparent cover


If access is required to view the menus without removing the cover, an alternative transparent cover with push
buttons may be ordered. With the cover in place the user will only has access to the
and TEST/RESET
buttons, allowing all areas of the menu system to be viewed, but preventing setting changes and control actions.

Power Supply Unit (PSU)

Relay PSU options allow the relay to be directly connected to dc system rated from 24V to 60V or 80 to 250V.
The 80- 250Vdc PSU can also be used with 115V AC supplies. For consistency and safety it is advised that AC
connections to the auxiliary supply are made with the Live connection to the +ve terminal and Neutral connection
to ve. The device will operate normally for reversed polarity DC auxiliary voltages.
In the event of the station battery voltage level falling below the relay minimum operate level the PSU will
automatically switch itself off and latch out this prevents any PSU overload conditions occurring. The PSU is
reset by switching the auxiliary supply off and on.

Caution: Refer to Equipment Documentation

Caution: Risk of Electric Shock

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)


A 4 line by 20-character alpha-numeric liquid crystal display indicates settings, instrumentation, fault data and
control commands.
To conserve power the display backlighting is extinguished when no buttons are pressed for a user defined
period. The backlight timer setting within the SYSTEM CONFIG menu allows the timeout to be adjusted from 1
to 60 minutes and Off (backlight permanently on). Pressing any key will re-activate the display.
The LCD contrast can be adjusted using a flat blade screwdriver to turn the screw located below the contrast
symbol

. Turning the screw clockwise increases the contrast, anti-clockwise reduces the contrast.

User defined indentifying text can be programmed into the relay using the System config/Relay Identifier and
System config/Circuit Identifier setting. The Identifier texts are displayed on the LCD display, over two lines,
at the top level of the menu structure. The Relay Identifier is used in communication with Reydisp to identify the
relay. Pressing the Cancel button several times will always return the user to this screen.

Figure 2-7 Close up of Relay Identifier

LCD Indication
General Alarms are user defined text messages displayed on the LCD when mapped to binary or virtual inputs.
Up to six general alarms of 16 characters can be programmed, each triggered from one or more input. Each
general alarm will also generate an event.
If multiple alarms are activated simultaneously the messages are displayed on a separate page
in a rolling display on the LCD. The System Config>General Alarm Alert setting Enabled/Disabled allows the
user to select if the alarms are to be displayed on the LCD when active.
All general alarms raised when a fault trigger is generated will be logged into the Fault Data record.

Standard Keys
The relay is supplied as standard with five pushbuttons. The buttons are used to navigate the menu structure and
control relay functions. They are labelled:
Increases a setting or moves up menu.
Decreases a setting or moves down menu.
TEST/RESET

Moves right, can be used to reset selected functionality and for LED test (at
relay identifier screen).

ENTER

Used to initiate and accept settings changes.

CANCEL

Used to cancel settings changes and/or move up the menu structure by one
level per press.

NOTE: All settings and configuration of LEDs, BI and BO can be accessed and set by the user using these keys.
Alternatively configuration/settings files can be loaded into the relay using Reydisp. When the System
Config>Setting Dependencies is ENABLED, only the functions that are enabled will appear in the menu
structure.

PROTECTION HEALTHY LED


This green LED is steadily illuminated to indicate that DC voltage has been applied to the relay power supply and
that the relay is operating correctly. If the internal relay watchdog detects an internal fault then this LED will
continuously flash.

Indication LEDs
Relays have 9 user programmable LED indicators. Each LED can be programmed to be illuminated as either
green, yellow or red. Where an LED is programmed to be lit both red and green it will illuminate yellow. The same
LED can be assigned two different colours dependent upon whether a Start/Pickup or Operate condition exists.
LEDs can be assigned to the pick up condition and colour selected in the OUTPUT CONFIG>LED CONFIG
menu.
Functions are assigned to the LEDs in the OUTPUT CONFIG>OUTPUT MATRIX menu.
Each LED can be labelled by withdrawing the relay and inserting a label strip into the pocket behind the front
fascia. A template is available in the Reydisp software tool to allow users to create and print customised legends.
Each LED can be user programmed as hand or selfresetting. Hand reset LEDs can be reset by either pressing
the TEST/RESET
button, energising a suitably programmed binary input, or, by sending an appropriate
command over the data communications channel(s).
The status of hand reset LEDs is maintained by a back up storage capacitor in the event of an interruption to the
d.c. supply voltage.

Chapter 1) 7SR158 Description of Operation

2.6

Voltage Inputs

The voltage inputs can be defined with a nominal rating between 40 160V.
Voltage is sampled at 32 samples per cycle (1600Hz for 50Hz and 1920Hz for 60Hz systems). Protection and
monitoring functions of the relay use fundamental frequency voltage measurement.
The waveform recorder samples and displays voltage input waveforms at 32 samples per cycle .
The appropriate VT connection and ratio is set in the CT/VT CONFIG menu.

2.7

Binary Inputs

The binary inputs are opto-couplers operated from a suitably rated power supply.
The binary inputs are polarity conscious and will not operate if the DC supply polarity is reversed. For consistency
and safety it is advised that AC connections for binary inputs are made with the Live connection to the +ve
terminal and Neutral connection to ve.
The user can assign any binary input to any of the available functions (INPUT CONFIG > INPUT MATRIX).
Pick-up (PU) and drop-off (DO) time delays are associated with each binary input. Where no pick-up time delay
has been applied the input may pick up due to induced ac voltage on the wiring connections (e.g. cross site
wiring). The default pick-up time of 20ms provides ac immunity. Each input can be programmed independently.
Each input may be logically inverted to facilitate integration of the relay within the user scheme. When inverted the
relay indicates that the BI is energised when no voltage is applied. Inversion occurs before the PU & DO time
delay, see fig. 2.8-1.
Binary inputs can be configured for intentional operation from a 110/115 V rms a.c. power supply by setting of
0ms PU and 25ms DO timers. If additional pickup or drop-off time delays are required by the scheme logic, this
functionality can be achieved by programmable logic within the device. For AC operation, live and neutral wiring
should be routed as a pair in close proximity and limited to a length of less than 10m.
Each input may be mapped to any front Fascia indication LED and/or to any Binary output contact and can also
be used with the internal user programmable logic. This allows the relay to provide panel indications and alarms.
Each binary input is set by default to be read when the relay is in both the local or remote condition. A setting is
provided to allow the user to select if each individual input shall be read when the relay is in the local or remote
condition in the INPUT CONFIG > BINARY INPUT CONFIG menu.

Chapter 1) Page 17 of 38

7SR158 Technical Manual

2.8

Binary Outputs (Output Relays)

All outputs are fully user configurable and can be programmed to operate from any or all of the available
functions.
In the default mode of operation binary outputs are self reset and remain energised for a user configurable
minimum time of up to 60 seconds. If required, outputs can be programmed to operate as hand reset or pulsed.
If the output is programmed to be hand reset and pulsed then the output will be hand reset only.
Operating a binary output as hand reset fulfils the requirements of ANSI function 86 (Lockout).
The binary outputs can be used to operate the trip coils of the circuit breaker directly where the trip coil current
does not exceed the 'make and carry' contact rating. The circuit breaker auxiliary contacts or other in-series
auxiliary device must be used to break the trip coil current.
Any BO can be assigned as a Trip Contact in the OUTPUT CONFIG>TRIP CONFIG menu. Operation of a Trip
Contact will operate any LED or virtual assigned from the Trip Triggered feature in the same menu and will
initiate the fault record storage, actuate the Trip Alert screen where enabled and CB Fail protection when
enabled.
Where a protection function is mapped to an output contact, the output contact can be configured to trigger when
the protection function picks-up rather than when it operates. Such output contacts are configured via the
OUTPUT CONFIG>BINARY OUTPUT CONFIG>Pickup Outputs setting.
Contacts in the case ensure that the normally closed binary outputs remain short circuited when the relay is
withdrawn from the case.

Notes on Self Reset Outputs


Outputs reset after the initiate condition is removed, they are subject to the user definable Minimum Operate
Time setting.
With a failed breaker condition the relay may remain operated until current flow in the primary system is
interrupted by an upstream device. The relay will then reset and attempt to interrupt trip coil current flowing
through an output contact. Where this level is above the break rating of the output contact an auxiliary relay with
heavy-duty contacts should be utilised.

Notes on Pulsed Outputs


When operated, the output will reset after the user definable Minimum Operate Time setting regardless of the
initiating condition.

Notes on Hand Reset Outputs 86 Lockout


Any binary output can be programmed to provide an 86 lockout function by selecting it to be hand reset. Hand
reset outputs can be reset by either pressing the TEST/RESET button, by energising a suitably programmed
binary input, or, by sending an appropriate command over the data communications channel(s).
On loss of the auxiliary supply hand-reset outputs will reset. When the auxiliary supply is re-established the binary
output will remain in the reset state unless the initiating condition is still present.

Binary Output Test


The MAINTENANCE>OUTPUT MATRIX TEST menu includes a facility to test output relays from the relay fascia
without the need for a secondary injection test set.
Binary outputs can also be energised from the Reydisp Evolution software package where PC facilities are
available.

Chapter 1) Page 18 of 38

2014 Siemens Protection Devices Limited

Chapter 1) 7SR158 Description of Operation

Notes on General Pickup


An output, General Pickup, is available to indicate that the pickup level has been exceeded for one or more
protection functions. Any protection function can be mapped to trigger this output in the OUTPUT
CONFIG>PICKUP CONFIG menu.

Figure 2-10 Binary Output Logic

2.9

Virtual Input/Outputs

The relays have 8 virtual input/outputs, these are internal binary stores. By assigning the status of data items like
starters, alarms, equations etc. to a virtual input/output, the status of these items can be used to fulfil higher levels
of functionality.
The status of various data items can be assigned to virtual inputs/outputs using the INPUT CONFIG > OUTPUT
MATRIX menu.
Virtual input/outputs can be used as inputs to various functions - including blocks, inhibits, triggers, alarms etc. using the INPUT CONFIG > INPUT MATRIX menu.
Virtual input/outputs can also be used as data items in equations.
The status of the virtual inputs and outputs is volatile i.e. not stored during power loss.

Chapter 1) Page 19 of 38

7SR158 Technical Manual

2.10 Self Monitoring


The relay incorporates a number of self-monitoring features. Each of these features can initiate a controlled reset
recovery sequence.
Supervision includes a power supply watchdog, code execution watchdog, memory checks by checksum and
processor/ADC health checks. When all checks indicate the relay is operating correctly the Protection Healthy
LED is illuminated.
If an internal failure is detected, a message will be displayed. The relay will reset in an attempt to rectify the
failure. This will result in de-energisation of any binary output mapped to protection healthy and flashing of the
protection healthy LED. If a successful reset is achieved by the relay the LED and output contact will revert back
to normal operational mode, and the relay will restart, therefore ensuring the circuit is protected for the maximum
time.
A Start-up Counter Meter is provided to display the number of start-ups the relay has performed. Once the
number of start-ups has exceeded a set number, an Alarm output can be given.

-------------------|Start Alarm
|
|Count
1|
|Target
100|
|
|
-------------------Figure 2-11 Start-up Counter Meter
Reset of the counter can be done from the meter or via a binary input or a command.
Various types of start-up are monitored by the relay:
1. power-on starts
2. expected starts (user initiated via comms)
3. unexpected starts (caused by the relay watchdog)
Any combination of these can be selected for the start-up count. This is done in the MAINTENANCE
MENU>START COUNT menu using the Start Up Types setting. All the start-up types selected (ticked) will be
added to the overall start-up count.
The number of restarts before the alarm output is raised is set in the MAINTENANCE MENU>START COUNT
menu using the Start Up Count Target setting.
When the number of relay start-ups reaches the target value an output is raised, OUTPUT MATRIX>Start Up
Count Alarm, which can be programmed to any combination of binary outputs, LEDs or virtual outputs.
The following screen-shot shows the events which are generated when the relay re-starts. The highlighted events
show the cause of the re-start. The event which comes next shows the type of restart followed by the relay:
Warm, Cold or Re-Start.
As a further safeguard, if the Relay performs a number of unexpected starts SYSTEM CONFIG>Unexpected
Restart Count in a given time SYSTEM CONFIG>Unexpected Restart Period, it can be configured using the
SYSTEM CONFIG>Unexpected Restart Blocking setting to remove itself from service. In this case the Relay
will display an error message:

-------------------|UNEXPECTED RESTART |
|COUNTS EXCEEDED!
|
|DEVICE LOCKED OUT
|
|
|
-------------------Figure 2-12 Unexpected Restarts Lockout Text
And enter a locked-up mode. In this mode the Relay will disable operation of all LEDs and Binary Outputs,
including Protection Healthy, all pushbuttons and any data communications.
Once the Relay has failed in this manner, it is non-recoverable at site and must be returned to the manufacturer
for repair.

Chapter 1) Page 20 of 38

2014 Siemens Protection Devices Limited

Chapter 1) 7SR158 Description of Operation

A meter, Miscellaneous Meters>Unexpected Restarts, is provided to show how many Unexpected Restarts have
occurred during the previous Unexpected Restart Period. This is resettable from the front fascia.

Figure 2-13 Start-up Events

2.10.1

Protection Healthy/Defective

When the relay has an auxiliary DC supply and it has successfully passed its self-checking procedure then the
front facia Protection Healthy LED is turned on.
A changeover or open contact can be mapped via the binary output matrix to provide an external protection
healthy signal.
A changeover or closed contact can be mapped via the binary output matrix to provide an external protection
defective signal. With the Protection Healthy this contact is open. When the auxiliary DC supply is not applied to
the relay or a problem is detected within the relay then this output contact closes to provide external indication.
If the relay is withdrawn from the case, the case shorting contact will make across the normally closed contacts to
provide and external alarm.

Voltage Protection: Phase Under/Over Voltage (27/59)

In total four under/over voltage elements are provided 27/59-1, 27/59-2, 27/59-3 & 27/59-4.
The relay utilises fundamental frequency RMS voltage for this function. All under/over voltage elements have a
common Voltage Input Mode setting defining whether phase to phase (Ph-Ph) or phase to neutral (Ph-N)
voltages are used.

27/59-n Setting sets the pick-up voltage level for the element.
The sense of the element (undervoltage or overvoltage) is set by the 27/59-n Operation setting.
The 27/59-n O/P Phases setting determines whether the time delay is initiated for operation of any phase or only
when all phases have detected the appropriate voltage condition. An output is given after elapse of the 27/59-n
Delay setting.

Voltage Protection: Negative Phase Sequence


Overvoltage (47)

Negative phase sequence (NPS) voltage (V2) is a measure of the quantity of unbalanced voltage in the system.
The relay derives the NPS voltage from the three input voltages (VL1, VL2 and VL3).
Two elements are provided 47-1 & 47-2.
All elements will be blocked if all phase voltages fall below the 47 U/V Guard setting.

Voltage Protection: Neutral Overvoltage (59N)

Two Neutral Overvoltage (or Neutral Voltage Displacement) elements are provided 59NIT & 59NDT.
The relay measures fundamental frequency residual voltage for this function. The relay can be connected to
directly measure residual voltage (3V0 input) i.e. CT/VT CONFIG > Phase Voltage Config setting =
Vab,Vbc,3Vo. Alternatively the value of residual voltage can be derived from the phase-neutral voltages i.e.
CT/VT CONFIG > Phase Voltage Config setting = Van,Vbn,Vcn.
The 59NIT element can be configured to be either definite time lag (DTL) or inverse definite minimum time
(IDMT),
59NIT Setting sets the pick-up voltage level (3V0) for the element.
An inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) can be selected using 59NIT Char. A time multiplier is applied to the

characteristic curves using the 59NIT Time Mult setting (M):

Alternatively, a definite time lag delay (DTL) can be chosen using 59NITChar. When Delay (DTL) is selected the
time multiplier is not applied and the 59NIT Delay (DTL) setting is used instead.
An instantaneous or definite time delayed reset can be applied using the 59NIT Reset setting.
The 59NDT element has a DTL characteristic. 59NDT Setting sets the pick-up voltage (3V0) and 59NDT Delay
the follower time delay.
Operation of the neutral overvoltage elements can be inhibited from:

Voltage Protection: Vector Shift (78)

Voltage Vector Shift detects a phase jump (vector shift) in all three system voltages over a half-cycle window.
The function is used to detect islanding or loss of connection between a generator and the main utility supply.. If
the detected vector shift is greater than setting on all three measured voltages an output is issued. Operation of
the element is instantaneous the vector shift occurs once and then the voltage stabilises so a delayed
operation is not applicable. Phase detection by means of zero-crossing measurement is used to maximise speed
of operation.
Two elements are provided 78-1 & 78-2.
All elements will be blocked if all phase voltages fall below the 78 U/V Guard setting.
There is an absolute cut-off of vector shift measurement at 30.
78-n Setting sets the pick-up phase shift angle for the element. The phase shift must be detected in all 3 phaseneutral voltages for the element to pick-up. This feature can be used when the CT/VT CONFIG > Phase Voltage
Config setting is selected to Van,Vbn,Vcn or Vab,Vbc,3Vo.
Operation of the elements is instantaneous.

Voltage Protection: Under/Over Frequency (81)

Six under/over frequency elements are provided in the relay 81-1, 81-2, 81-3, 81-4, 81-5 & 81-6.
All under/over frequency elements have a common Frequency Input Mode setting defining whether phase to
phase (Ph-Ph) or phase to neutral (Ph-N) voltages are used. The frequency calculation is based on the highest
input voltage derived from the voltage selection algorithm. The frequency of all VT inputs is monitored continually,
switching between reference voltages is instantaneous.
All elements can be blocked if all phase voltages fall below the 81 U/V Guard setting.
The sense of the element (under-frequency or over-frequency) is set by the 81-n Operation setting.
81-n Setting sets the pick-up voltage level for the element.
An output is given after elapse of the 81-n Delay setting.
The 81-n Hysteresis setting allows the user to vary the pick-up/drop-off ratio for the element.

Voltage Protection: Rate of Change of Frequency (81R)

Rate of Change of Frequency (ROCOF) is used to detect islanding or loss of connection between a generator
and the main utility supply.
Six elements are provided 81R-1, 81R-2, 81R-3, 81R-4, 81R-5 & 81R-6.
All ROCOF elements have a common ROCOF Input Mode setting defining whether phase to phase (Ph-Ph) or
phase to neutral (Ph-N) voltages are used. The frequency calculation is based on the highest input voltage
derived from the voltage selection algorithm. The frequency of all VT inputs is monitored continually, switching
between reference voltages is instantaneous.

All elements will be blocked if all voltages fall below the 81R U/V Guard setting.
81R-n Setting sets the pick-up frequency change for the element.
The direction of frequency change, Positive (increasing frequency), Negative (decreasing frequency) or Both,
being looked for by the element is set by the 81R-n Direction setting.
An output is given after elapse of the 81R-n Delay setting.

7SR158 Technical Manual

Section 4: Control & Logic Functions

4.1

Manual CB Control

Functionality is provided to allow a Relay to manually Open and Close its associated Circuit-Breaker (CB).
A Manual Open Command can be initiated in one of three ways: via a Open CB binary input, via the data
communication Channel(s) or from the relay CONTROL MODE menu. It causes an instantaneous operation via
the Open CB binary output.
It should be noted that a CB Open initiated in this way is fundamentally different from a CB Trip initiated by a
protection function. A CB Trip will initiate functionality such as fault data storage and operation counter.
A Manual Close Command can be initiated in one of three ways: via a Close CB binary input, via the data
communication Channel(s) or from the relay CONTROL MODE menu. It causes an instantaneous operation via
the Close CB binary output.
Repeated Manual Closes are avoided by checking for Positive edge triggers. Even if the Manual Close input is
constantly energised the relay will only attempt one close.

Close CB Delay
Operation of the Close CB binary output can be delayed by the Close CB Delay setting. The status of this delay
is displayed on the relay fascia as it decrements towards zero. Only when the delay reaches zero will the close
command be issued and related functionality initiated.

Blocked Close Delay


The close command may be delayed for the duration that a Block Close CB signal is applied to a binary input.
This can be used, for example, to delay CB closure until the CB energy has reached an acceptable level. The
output Close CB Blocked indicates this condition.

Open CB Delay
Operation of the Open CB binary output can be delayed by the Open CB Delay setting. The status of this delay
is displayed on the relay fascia as it decrements towards zero. Only when the delay reaches zero will the close
command be issued and related functionality initiated.

CB Controls Latched
CB controls for manually closing and tripping can be latched for extra security.
With Reset operation, the control resets when the binary input drops off. This can lead to multiple control restarts
due to bounce on the binary input signal.
With Latch operation, the close or trip sequence always continues to completion (or sequence failure) and bounce
on the binary input is ignored.
Reset operation can be useful, however, as it allows a close or trip sequence to be aborted by dropping off the
binary input signal.

Chapter 1) 7SR158 Description of Operation

4.2

Circuit Breaker

Both CB Failed To Open and CB Failed to Close features are provided.


CB Travel Alarm
The CB Open and CB Closed binary inputs are continually monitored to track the CB Status.
The CB should only ever be in 3 states:
CB Status
CB is Open
CB is Closed
CB is Travelling between the above 2 states

CB Open
binary input
1
0
0

CB Closed
binary input
0
1
0

The CB Alarm output is given where the Travelling condition exists for longer than the CB Travel Alarm setting.
An instantaneous CB Alarm is given for a 1/1 state i.e. where the CB indicates it is both Open and Closed at
the same time.
CB Control Trip Time
When this is set to Enabled, the relay will measure the CB trip time following operation of either a CB control
open output or a CB Trip output. The trip time is displayed by the MAINTENANCE METERS > CB Trip Time
meter.

When this is set to Disabled, the relay will measure the trip time following operation of a CB Trip
output only. Operation of a CB control open output will then not cause the trip time to be measured.
Trip Time Alarm
The CB Trip Time meter displays the measured time between the trip being issued and the CB auxiliary contacts
changing state. If this measured time exceeds the Trip Time Alarm time, a Trip Time Alarm output is issued.
Trip Time Adjust

This allows for the internal delays caused by the relay especially the delay before a binary input
operates to be subtracted from the measured CB trip time. This gives a more accurate measurement
of the time it took for the CB to actually trip.
Open CB Pulse
The duration of the CB open pulse is user settable to allow a range of CBs to be used. The Open CB Pulse must
be long enough for the CB to physically open.
Close CB Pulse
The duration of the Close CB Pulse is settable to allow a range of Circuit-Breakers (CBs) to be used. The Close
CB Pulse must be long enough for the CB to physically close.
The Close pulse will be terminated if any protection pick-up operates or a trip occurs. This is to prevent Close and
Trip Command pulses existing simultaneously.
The output CB Successful Close confirms a successful CB Close operation.
The output CB Fail to Close is issued if the CB is not closed at the end of the close pulse, Close CB Pulse.

When the equation is satisfied (=1) it is routed through a pick-up timer (En Pickup Delay), a drop-off timer (En
Dropoff Delay), and a counter which instantaneously picks up and increments towards its target (En Counter
Target).
The counter will either maintain its count value En Counter Reset Mode = OFF, or reset after a time delay:
En Counter Reset Mode = Single Shot: The En Counter Reset Time is started only when the counter
is first incremented (i.e. counter value = 1) and not for subsequent counter operations. Where En
Counter Reset Time elapses and the count value has not reached its target the count value is reset to
zero.
En Counter Reset Mode = Multi Shot: The En Counter Reset Time is started each time the counter is
incremented. Where En Counter Reset Time elapses without further count increments the count value
is reset to zero.

Section 5: Supervision Functions

5.1

VT Supervision

This is a simple feature that allows the Relay to detect and report a tripping of the MCB protecting the measuring
VTs. Operation of the MCB Failed binary input is reported by the VTS binary output.

5.2

Trip/ Close Circuit Supervision (74TCS & 74CCS)

The relay provides three trip and three close circuit supervision elements, all elements are identical in operation
and independent from each other allowing 3 trip and 3 close circuits to be monitored.
One or more binary inputs can be mapped to 74TCS-n. The inputs are connected into the trip circuit such that at
least one input is energised when the trip circuit wiring is intact. If all mapped inputs become de-energised, due to
a break in the trip circuit wiring or loss of supply an output is given.
The 74TCS-n Delay setting prevents failure being incorrectly indicated during circuit breaker operation. This delay
should be greater than the operating time of the circuit breaker.
The use of one or two binary inputs mapped to the same Trip Circuit Supervision element (e.g. 74TCS-n) allows
the user to realise several alternative monitoring schemes.

Section 6: Other Features


6.1

Data Communications

Two communication ports, COM1 and COM2 are provided. RS485 connections are available on the terminal
blocks at the rear of the relay (COM1). A USB port, (COM 2), is provided at the front of the relay for local access
using a PC.
The rear com1 port can be selected to operate as a local or a remote port operation.
Communication is compatible with Modbus-RTU, IEC60870-5-103 FT 1.2 and DNP 3.0 transmission and
application standards.
For communication with the relay via a PC (personal computer) a user-friendly software package, Reydisp, is
available to allow transfer of relay settings, waveform records, event records, fault data records,
Instruments/meters and control functions. Reydisp is compatible with IEC60870-5-103.
Data communications operation is described in detail in Section 4 of this manual.

6.2
6.2.1

Maintenance
Output Matrix Test

The feature is only visible from the Relay fascia and allows the user to operate the relays functions. The test of
the function will automatically operate any Binary Inputs or LEDs already assigned to that function.
Any protection function which is enabled in the setting menu will appear in the Output Matrix Test.

6.2.2

CB Counters

The following CB maintenance counters are provided:


CB Total Trip Count:

Increments on each trip command issued.

CB Delta Trip Count:

Additional counter which can be reset independently of the


Total Trip Counter. This can be used, for example, for
recording trip operations between visits to a substation.

CB Count to AR Block: (Only in Auto-reclose


models)

Displays the number of CB trips experienced by the CB


before the AR is blocked. When the target is reached the
relay will only do 1 Delayed Trip to Lockout. An output is
available to reset this value.

CB Frequent Ops Count

Logs the number of trip operations in a rolling window period


of one hour. An output is available to reset this counter.

Binary outputs can be mapped to each of the above counters, these outputs are energised when the user
defined Count Target or Alarm Limit is reached.

6.3
6.3.1

Data Storage
General

The relay stores three types of data: relay event records, analogue/digital waveform records and fault records.
Data records are backed up in non-volatile memory and are permanently stored even in the event of loss of
auxiliary supply voltage. The data storage menu contains the settings for the Waveform and Fault storage
features.

6.3.2

Event Records

The event recorder feature allows the time tagging of any change of state (Event) in the relay. As an event
occurs, the actual event condition is logged as a record along with a time and date stamp to a resolution of 1
millisecond. There is capacity for a maximum of 1000 event records that can be stored in the relay and when the
event buffer is full any new record will over-write the oldest. Stored events can be erased using the DATA
STORAGE>Clear Events setting or from Reydisp.
The following events are logged:
Change of state of Binary outputs.
Change of state of Binary inputs.
Change of Settings and Settings Group.
Change of state of any of the control functions of the relay.
Protection element operation.
All events can be uploaded over the data communications channel(s) and can be displayed in the Reydisp
package in chronological order, allowing the sequence of events to be viewed. Events can be selected to be
made available spontaneously to an IEC 60870-5-103, Modbus RTU or DNP 3.0 compliant control system. The
function number and event number can also be changed. The events are selected and edited using the Reydisp
software tool.
For a complete listing of events available in each model, refer to Technical Manual Section 4 Data
Communication.

6.3.3

Waveform Records.

Relay waveform storage can be triggered either by user selected relay operations, from the relay fascia, from a
suitably programmed binary input or via the data comms channel(s). The stored analogue and digital waveforms
illustrate the system and relay conditions at the time of trigger. An output is provided to indicate when a new
record has been stored.
A waveform can also be stored from the fascia using the DATA STORAGE/Waveform Storage>Trigger
Waveform setting
In total the relay provides up to 10 seconds of waveform storage, this is user selectable to 1 x 10second, 2 x 5
second, 5 x 2 second or 10 x 1 second records. When the waveform recorder buffer is full any new waveform
record will over-write the oldest. The most recent record is Waveform 1.
As well as defining the stored waveform record duration the user can select the percentage of the waveform
storage prior to triggering.
Waveforms are sampled at a rate of 1600Hz.
Stored waveforms can be erased using the DATA STORAGE/Waveform Storage>Clear Waveforms setting or
from Reydisp.

2014 Siemens Protection Devices Limited

Chapter 1) 7SR158 Description of Operation

6.3.4

Fault Data Records

Up to ten fault records can be stored and displayed on the Fascia LCD. Fault records can be triggered by user
selected relay operations or via a suitably programmed binary input. An output is provided to indicate when a
new record has been stored.
Fault records provide a summary of the relay status at the time of trip, i.e. the element that issued the trip, any
elements that were picked up, the fault type, LED indications, date and time. The Max Fault Rec. Time setting
sets the time period from fault trigger during which the operation of any LEDs is recorded.
The relay can be set to automatically display the fault record on the LCD when a fault occurs by enabling the
SYSTEM CONFIG> Trip Alert setting. When the trip alert is enabled the fault record will be displayed until the
fault is removed.
With the Trip Alert setting enabled the user will have to press the TEST/RESET button three times in order to
return to the home screen after a trip has occurred. The user will then have to press the TEST/RESET button a
further time (four in total) to reset the relay.
1.

After a trip occurs the Trip Alert displays the time and date of the trip. The user then presses the
TEST/RESET button.

2.

The fault type is then displayed with the date the fault occurred. The fascia prompts the user to press the
TEST/RESET button to view the details of this fault.

3.

The information regarding the fault is then displayed. The user then presses the TEST/RESET
to return to the home screen.

4.

Pressing the TEST/RESET

button

button one further time will reset the relay.

With the Trip Alert setting disabled the user only has to press the trip reset button once to reset the relay.

When examined together the event records and the fault records will detail the full sequence of events leading to
a trip.
Fault records are stored in a rolling buffer, with the oldest faults overwritten. The fault storage can be cleared with
the DATA STORAGE/Fault Storage>Clear Faults setting or from Reydisp.

6.3.5

Disk Activity Warning

The Data Storage facilities offered by the Relay involve archiving a huge amount of data to non-volatile memory.
Since such functionality is always secondary to the Protection functionality offered by the Relay, this means that
data transfers can take significant amounts of time; perhaps several minutes. If the Relay is power-cycled during
a storage cycle, some of the data will be lost. For this reason, the Relay can provide a visual warning (at the topright position of the LCD) that data storage is taking place:
The '' disk symbol shows that the copying of Events, Waveform Records or Fault Records, to non volatile
disk storage, is currently in progress.
Whether this symbol is displayed or not is set by the SYS CONFIG > Disk Activity Symbol setting.
To avoid such data archiving causing a sluggish response of the HMI during Testing or Commissioning when a
considerable number of new Data records are likely to be created it is possible to temporarily suspend it. The
duration of this block is set by the SYS CONFIG > Archiver Blocking Time setting. Once this Time has elapsed,
the block is removed and all stored data will be archived as usual.
The 'A' symbol at the top-right position of the LCD indicates that new Events, Waveform Records or Fault
Records are currently being held in volatile RAM and the archiving, to non-volatile flash disk storage, is being
temporarily blocked.

6.6

Control Mode

This mode provides convenient access to commonly used relay control and test functions. When any of the items
listed in the control menu are selected control is initiated by pressing the ENTER key. The user is prompted to
confirm the action, again by pressing the ENTER key, before the command is executed.
Note that a CB must be in a Closed state before an Open command will be accepted. And that a CB must be in
an Open state before a Close command will be accepted. If not, the Relay reports that the requested command is
Interlocked.
Note also that switching a protection function IN / OUT via the Control Menu will not change that functions
ENABLED / DISABLED setting. The Control Menu selection will over-ride the setting, however.
Control Mode commands are password protected using the Control Password function see Section 6.9.

6.7

Real Time Clock

Time and date can be set either via the relay fascia using appropriate commands in the System Config menu or
via the data comms channel(s). Time and date are maintained while the relay is de-energised by a back up
storage capacitor. The length of time for which this data will be maintained will depend on such things as
temperature, length of time in service, etc. However the data will be maintained for a minimum of 1.8 days.
In order to maintain synchronism within a substation, the relay can be synchronised to the nearest second or
minute using the communications interface, or a binary input.
The default date is set at 01/01/2000 deliberately to indicate the date has not yet been set. When editing the
Time, only the hours and minutes can be edited. When the user presses ENTER after editing the seconds are
zeroed and the clock begins running.

6.7.1

Time Synchronisation Data Communication Interface

Where the data comms channel(s) is connected the relay can be directly time synchronised using the global time
synchronisation. This can be from a dedicated substation automation system or from Reydisp Evolution
communications support software.

6.7.2

Time Synchronisation Binary Input

A binary input can be mapped Clock Sync from BI. The seconds or minutes will be rounded up or
down to the nearest vale when the BI is energised. This input is leading edge triggered.

6.8

Settings Groups

The relay provides four groups of settings Group number (Gn) 1 to 4. At any one time only one
group of settings can be active SYSTEM CONFIG>Active Group setting. An output is provided to
indicate which setting group is active.
It is possible to edit one group while the relay operates in accordance with settings from another active group
using the View/Edit Group setting.
Some settings are independent of the active group setting i.e. they apply to all settings groups. This is indicated
on the top line of the relay LCD where only the Active Group No. is identified. Where settings are group
dependent this is indicated on the top line of the LCD by both the Active Group No. and the View Group No.
being displayed.
A change of settings group can be achieved either locally at the relay fascia, remotely over the data comms
channel(s) or via a binary input. When using a binary input an alternative settings group is selected only whilst the
input is energised (Select Grp Mode: Level triggered) or latches into the selected group after energisation of the
input (Select Grp Mode: Edge triggered).
Settings are stored in non-volatile memory.

Password Feature

The relay incorporates two levels of password protection one for settings, the other for control functions.
The programmable password feature enables the user to enter a 4 character alpha numeric code to secure
access to the relay functions. A Password of NONE indicates that a Password has not been set and that the
Password feature is disabled. Where a Relay is delivered with the Password already set, this will be "AAAA".
The password must be entered twice as a security measure against accidental changes. Once a password has
been entered then it will be required thereafter to change settings or initiate control commands. Passwords can be
de-activated by using the password to gain access and by entering the password NONE. Again this must be
entered twice to de-activate the security system.
As soon as the user attempts to change a setting or initiate control the password is requested before any changes
are allowed. Once the password has been validated, the user is logged on and any further changes can be
made without re-entering the password. If no more changes are made within 1 hour then the user will
automatically be logged off, re-enabling the password feature.
The Settings Password prevents unauthorised changes to settings from the front fascia or over the data comms
channel(s). The Control Password prevents unauthorised operation of controls in the relay Control Menu from the
front fascia.
The password validation screen also displays a numerical code. If the password is lost or forgotten, this code
should be communicated to Siemens Protection Devices Ltd. and the password can be retrieved.

Section 1: Introduction
1.1

Relay Menus and Display

All relay fascias have the same appearance and support the same access keys. The basic menu structure is also
the same in all products and consists of four main menus, these being,
Settings Mode - allows the user to view and (if allowed via passwords) change settings in the relay.
Instruments Mode - allows the user to see the conditions that the relay is experiencing i.e. current, voltage etc.
Fault Data Mode - allows the user to see type and data of any fault that the relay has detected.
Control Mode - allows the user to control external plant under the relays control for example the CB
All menus may be viewed without entering a password but actions will not be permitted if the relevant passwords
have been set.
The menus can be viewed via the LCD by pressing the access keys as below,

Figure 1.1-1 Menu

Pressing CANCEL returns to the Identifier screen


This document describes the text descriptions as they appear in the menu structure when the relay is using the
default files. The user can programme the relay to use alternative text descriptions by installing user language
files through the Reydisp Evolution software language configuration tool see section 2.1.5.

1.1.1

LCD Contrast

To change the contrast on the LCD insert a flat bladed screwdriver into the screwhead below the contrast symbol,
turning the screwhead left (anti-clockwase) lightens the contrast of the LCD and turning it right (clockwise)
darkens the display.

buttons will scroll

Once editing is complete pressing the ENTER button stores the new setting into the non-volatile memory. The
setting change is effective immediately unless any protection element is operating, in which case the change
becomes effective when no elements are operating.
Configuration and inspection of communications protocol data objects, text used for display in international
languages, graphical user logic and programming of user specific custom protection characteristics is not
possible from the fascia and pc based tools must be used if required.
The actual setting ranges and default values for each relay model can be found in the appendix to this manual.

under the submenu Software) This software requires windows 2000-service pack 4 or above, or windows XP
with service pack 2 or above and Microsoft.NET framework for tools.
Programming of graphical user logic requires the use of the Reydisp Manager software which is supplied with
online instructions and help and is not documented here.

2.1

Physical Connection

The relay can be connected to Reydisp via any of the communication ports on the relay. Suitable communication
Interface cable and converters are required depending which port is being used.

Configuring Relay Data Communication

Using the keys on the relay fascia scroll down the settings menus into the communications menu and if
necessary change the settings for the communication port you are using on the relay. Reydisp software uses
IEC60870-5-103 protocol to communicate.
When connecting the relay to a pc using the front USB port, the Reydisp setting software will automatically detect
the relay without making any setting changes in the relay first as long as the USB is selected to IEC60870-5-103.

Configuring the user texts using Reydisp Language Editor

As default the relay uses the text descriptions in all menus as they appear in this manual. These descriptions can
be changed by installing a user language file in the relay, allowing the user to edit all views to meet their needs
and provide easier operation.
The Reyrolle Language File Editor tool and its user manual are installed as part of the Reydisp Evolution software
package. They can be found in your pc as sub menus of the Reydisp Evolution installation.

When the software is opened a new project from template should be used to generate your file. The file will
display all default Original text descriptions in one column and the Alternative text in the other column. The
descriptions in the Alternative list can be changed and will be used in the relays menu structures. Once the file
is complete, a language file can be created and loaded into the relay using the send file to relay function. The
communication properties in the software and on the relay must be set. The relay must be restarted after the file
is installed.
To activate the language file it must be selected in the relay configuration menu, the Original file is the file
labelled ENGLISH and the new file will be displayed using the file name allocated by the user.
Care should be taken to ensure a unique file name is given including a version control reference. The user will be
prompted to restart the relay to activate the language file.
Please refer to the Language Editor Manual for further guidance.

NOTE: Dips in supply that fall below the minimum voltage for a period greater than the
0% Dip With stand Period will invoke a relay reset.
During conditions of auxiliary input voltage variations which are not described (1) in section 1.4.3.1, the relay
may enter a safety protection mode where a power supply shutdown occurs. This condition is designed to
protect the power supply from damage as well as prevent internal relay faults from developing into dangerous
situations.
Once the relay has entered this safety mode, it may be necessary to reduce the auxiliary input voltage to zero
volts for up to 30 seconds before re-application of the auxiliary supply will cause the relay to power up and
operate normally.
(1) Using fuses as on/off switches or allowing batteries to run at very low cell voltages for extended periods
and then attempting to re-charge them are examples of such auxiliary supply conditions.

The binary inputs have a low minimum operate current and may be set for high speed operation. Where a binary
input is both used to influence a control function (e.g. provide a tripping function) and it is considered to be
susceptible to mal-operation due to capacitive currents, the external circuitry can be modified to provide immunity
to such disturbances.
To comply with EATS 48-4, classes ESI 1 and ESI 2, external components / BI pick-up delays are required as
shown in fig. 1-1.
To achieve immunity from AC interference, a BI pick-up delay of typically one-cycle can be applied.

2. Physical Connection
2.1 Introduction
The relay provides one Front USB communication interface (Com2) located on the fascia and one RS485 (Com1)
located on the Rear as standard.
A detailed description of the ports is given below.

COM1-RS485:

This port can be used for IEC60870-5-103, MODBUS-RTU or DNP3 communications


to a substation SCADA or integrated control system or for engineer remote access.
This port can also be used for connection to Reydisp software.

COM2-USB:

This port is used for IEC60870-5-103 (default setting) communication with the Reydisp
software.
An ASCII protocol is also available through this port, the main use of this protocol is to
allow the Relay firmware to be updated via the front connection.
MODBUS-RTU or the optional DNP3 protocols are also available.

Any or all serial ports can be mapped to the IEC60870-5-103, DNP3 or MODBUS-RTU protocol at any one time,
protocols available will depend upon relay model. Any port not required can be disabled by setting its protocol to OFF.
When connecting to Reydisp Evolution software the protocol for the relevant port should be set to IEC60870-5-103.
Siemens Protection Devices Limited (SPDL) can provide a range of interface devices, please refer to product
portfolio catalogue.
Full details of the interface devices can be found by referring to the website www.siemens.com/energy.

Chapter 4) 7SR158 - Data Communications

2.2 USB Interface (COM2)


The USB communication port is connected using a standard USB cable with a type B connection to the relay and
type A to the PC.
The PC will require a suitable USB driver to be installed; this will be carried out automatically when the Reydisp
software is installed. When the Reydisp software is running with the USB cable connected to a device an additional
connection is shown. Connections to these devices are not shown when they are not connected.
The USB communication interface on the relay is labelled Com 2 and its associated settings are located in the Data
communications menu. When connecting to Reydisp using this connection the default settings can be used without
the need to first change any settings.
Access to the communication settings for the USB port is only available from the relay front fascia via the key pad
setting menu COMMUNICATIONS MENU.

2.3 RS485 Interface (COM1)


The 2-wire RS485 communication port is located on the rear of the relay and can be connected using a suitable
RS485 120 Ohm screened twisted pair cable.
The RS485 electrical connection can be used in a single or multi-drop configuration. The RS485 master must support
and use the Auto Device Enable (ADE) feature. The last device in the connection must be terminated correctly in
accordance with the master device driving the connection. This can be done via the internal 120 ohm terminating
resistor, which can be connected between 14 (A) and 18 (B) by fitting an external wire loop between terminals 18
and 20 on the power supply module.
The maximum number of relays that can be connected to the bus is 64.
The RS485 data comms link will be broken for that particular relay element if it is withdrawn from the case but the
chain of communication to the other relays is maintained.
The following settings, on the COMMUNICATIONS MENU, must be configured when using the RS485 interface.

3. IEC 60870-5-103 Definitions


3.1 Introduction
This section describes the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol implementation in the relays. This protocol is used for the
communication with Reydisp software and can also be used for communication with a suitable control system.
The control system or local PC acts as the master in the system with the relay operating as a slave responding
to the master's commands. The implementation provides event information, time synchronising, commands and
measurands and also supports the transfer of disturbance records.
This protocol can be set to use any or all of the relays hardware interfaces (USB, Fibre Optic, RS232, RS485 and
Ethernet) and is the standard protocol used by the USB port. The relay can communicate simultaneously on all
ports regardless of protocol used.
The Station Address of the port being used must be set to a suitable address within the range 0 - 254 to enable
communication. This can be set by the Communications Menu : COM n-xxxxx Station Address setting.

4. MODBUS Definitions
4.1 Introduction
This section describes the MODBUS-RTU protocol implementation in the relays. This protocol is used for
communication with a suitable control system.
This protocol can be set to use any or all of the relays hardware interfaces (USB, Fibre Optic, RS232 and RS485).
The relay can communicate simultaneously on all ports regardless of protocol used.
The Station Address of the port being used must be set to a suitable address within the range 1 - 247 to enable
communication. This can be set by the Communications Menu : COM n-xxxxx Station Address setting.
Communication via MODBUS over Ethernet requires external devices. Please refer to the documents TCPIP
Catalogue Sheet and TCPIP Interface Technical Guidance Notes for more information.
Definitions with shaded area are not available on all relay models.

4.2 MODBUS Register Data Types


4.2.1 FLOAT_IEEE_754
The float data type conforms to the IEEE 754 floating point definition. This specifies that 32 bits of data will be
formatted as a sign bit in the most significant bit (MSB) followed by an 8 bit exponent then a 23 bit mantissa, down
to the least significant bit (LSB).
MSB

LSB

Sign

Exponent

Mantissa

FLOAT_IEEE_754 IN DETAIL
The exponent is an 8 bit unsigned integer. To allow for negative exponents, it is offset by 127.
Therefore the actual exponent is e - 127. The following table shows a detailed layout of the exponent.
2

128

64

16

32

The mantissa contains the fractional part of a number normalized to the form 1.xyz i.e. in this instance
-1

xyz. The mantissa represents the binary fraction of a number; therefore the MSB represents 2 (or
1

1/2 ) and its LSB 2

-23

23

(or 1/2 ). The following table shows a detailed layout of the mantissa.

0.125

0.0625

4.768e-7

As an example 1,000,000 would be represented as follows (hex 49742400).

This calculates out as:


Sign = +1
Exponent = 100100102 = 128 + 16 + 2 = 146, subtract 127 = 19.

Mantissa = 1 +

Therefore Sign * 2Exponent * Mantissa = 1 * 219 * 1.907348632 = 1000000


FLOAT_IEEE_754 & MODBUS
In this MODBUS implementation the 32 bit float is stored in 2 16 registers in Big-Endian format. As an
example, if we take the hex representation of 1,000,000 as a float (from above) we have 49742400h.
Assume this is stored in the registers 30001 and 30002, it would look as follows.

Address

Value

30001

4974

30002

On reception these two registers should be interpreted in the correct order as IEEE754 floating point
representation.

4.2.2 FP_32BITS_3DP
The FP_32BITS_3DP is a 32 bit integer fixed point value, containing 3 decimal places of information. It is
used to send a real value to 3 decimal places as an integer. For example, if the value in a device is 123.456
it will be sent as 123456. As it is an integer, negative numbers are sent as 2's complement.
FP_32BITS_3DP & MODBUS
In this MODBUS implementation the 32 bit value is stored in 2 16 registers in Big-Endian format. As
an example, if we take the hex representation of 123456, we have 1E240h. Assume this is stored in
the registers 30001 and 30002, it would look as follows:
Address

Value

30001

30002

E240

On reception these two registers should be interpreted in the correct order as a 32 bit integer.

4.2.3 UINT32
The UINT32 is a signed 32 bit integer. As it is an integer, negative numbers are sent as 2's complement.
UINT32 & MODBUS
In this MODBUS implementation the 32 bit value is stored in 2 16 bit registers in Big-Endian format. As
an example, if we take the hex representation of -123456, in 2's complement, we have FFFE1DC0h.
Assume this is stored in the registers 30001 and 30002, it would look as follows:
Address

Value

30001

FFFE

30002

1DC0

On reception these two registers should be interpreted in the correct order as a 32 bit integer.

4.2.4 UINT16
The UINT16 is a signed 16 bit integer. As it is an integer, negative numbers are sent as 2's complement.
UINT16 & MODBUS
In this MODBUS implementation the 16 bit value is stored in a 16 bit register in Big-Endian format.
As an example, if we take the hex representation of 5678 we have 162Eh. Assume this is stored in
the register 30001, it would look as follows:

2013 Siemens Protection Devices Limited

Chapter 4 - Page 23 of 66

Chapter 4) 7SR158 - Data Communications

Address

Value

30001

162E

On reception this register should be interpreted as a 16 bit integer.


Truncation
Calculations are performed as 32 bit. The 16 bit value is the lowest 16 bits of the 32 bit value.
Therefore, when values overflow the returned value is the lowest 16 bits of the calculated value. For
Example, if the value is 85400 = 14D98h, the value returned would be the lowest 16 bits = 4D98h
which equals 19864.

4.2.5 EVENT
MODBUS does not define a method for extracting events; therefore a private method has been defined
based on that defined by IEC60870-5-103.
The EVENT register contains the earliest event record available. The event record is 8 registers (16
bytes) of information, whose format is described below. When this record has been read it will be
replaced by the next available record. Event records must be read completely; therefore the quantity
value must be set to 8 before reading. Failing to do this will result in an exception code 2. If no event
record is present the exception code 2 will be returned. The EVENT register should be polled regularly
by the master for events.
The EVENTCOUNT register can be checked periodically to determine how many events are stored.
The format of the event record is defined by the zero byte. It signifies the type of record which is used
to decode the event information. The zero byte can be one of the following.
Format
The format of the event record is defined by the zero byte. It signifies the type of record which is used

The TIME_METER register contains the device's time. The time must be read or written in one step;
therefore the quantity should be 4 registers. Failing to do this will result in an exception code 2. The
time format is 8 bytes as follows.

4.2.9 BITSTRING
A Bit-String (or Bit-Array) is a method of compactly storing a number of bits of data. In this instance we store
up to 16 bit values, for example the states of binary inputs, in a single 16 bit register. The first bit value is
th

stored in the Least Significant Bit (LSB) of the register. The 16 value would be in the Most Significant Bit
(MSB). Bit values can only be zero or one. Any unused bits will be set to zero.
BITSTRING & MODBUS
In this MODBUS implementation the 16 bit value is stored in a 16 bit register in Big-Endian format.
As an example, assume bits 1, 3, 9 and 12 are set. The binary representation of this would be
00001001000001012 giving a hex representation of 0905h. Assume this is stored in the register
30001, it would look as follows:
Address
30001

Value
0905

On reception this register should be interpreted as a 16 bit integer.

5.2 Implementation Table


The following table identifies which object variations, function codes, and qualifiers the Triangle MicroWorks, Inc.
DNP 3.0 Slave Source Code Library supports in both request messages and in response messages. For static (nonchange-event) objects, requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be responded with qualifiers 00 or
01. Requests sent with qualifiers 17 or 28 will be responded with qualifiers 17 or 28. For change-event objects,
qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.
In the table below, text shaded as 00, 01 (start stop) indicates Subset Level 3 functionality (beyond Subset Level 2).
In the table below, text shaded as 07, 08 (limited qty) indicates functionality beyond Subset Level 3.

5.3.3 Binary Output Status Points and Control Relay Output Blocks
The following table lists both the Binary Output Status Points (Object 10) and the Control Relay Output Blocks
(Object 12).
While Binary Output Status Points are included here for completeness, they are not often polled by DNP 3.0 Masters.
It is recommended that Binary Output Status points represent the most recent DNP commanded value for the
corresponding Control Relay Output Block (CROB) point. Because many, if not most, Control Relay Output Block
points are controlled through pulse mechanisms, the value of the output status may in fact be meaningless. Binary
Output Status points are not recommended to be included in class 0 polls.
As an alternative, it is recommended that actual status values of Control Relay Output Block points be looped
around and mapped as Binary Inputs. (The actual status value, as opposed to the commanded status value,
is the value of the actuated control. For example, a DNP control command may be blocked through hardware or
software mechanisms; in this case, the actual status value would indicate the control failed because of the blocking.
Looping Control Relay Output Block actual status values as Binary Inputs has several advantages:

it allows actual statuses to be included in class 0 polls,

it allows change event reporting of the actual statuses, which is a more efficient and
time-accurate method of communicating control values,

and it allows reporting of time-based information associated with controls, including any
delays before controls are actuated, and any durations if the controls are pulsed.

The default select/control buffer size is large enough to hold 10 of the largest select requests possible.
Binary outputs are by default NOT returned in a class zero interrogation.
Note, not all points listed here apply to all builds of devices.

8. Modems
8.1 Introduction
The communications interface has been designed to allow data transfer via modems. A suitable Modem can be
connected directly to the Relay's RS232, RS485 or to fibre-optic port. An additional interface, for example a Sigma
unit, may be required to connect to the fibre-optic port.

8.2 Connecting a Modem to the Relay(s)


RS232C defines devices as being either Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) e.g. computers, or data Communications
Equipment (DCE), e.g. modems, where one is designed to be connected to the other.
The optional RS232 port of the Relay is wired as a DTE device and can therefore be connected directly to a Modem.
The Sigma fibre-optic converter is wired as a DCE device, the same as a Modem. Where two DCE devices e.g.
the modem and the fibre-optic converter are being connected together a null terminal connector is required which
switches various control lines. The fibre-optic converter is then connected to the relay Network Tx to Relay Rx and
Network Rx to Relay Tx.

8.3 Setting the Remote Modem


The exact settings of the modem are dependent on the type of modem. Although most modems support the basic
Hayes AT command format, different manufacturers use different commands for the same functions. In addition,
some modems use DIP switches to set parameters, others are entirely software configured.
Before applying settings, the modem's factory default settings should be applied, to ensure it is in a known state.
Several factors must be considered to allow remote dialling to the relays. The first is that the modem at the remote
end must be configured as auto answer. This will allow it to initiate communications with the relays. Next, the user
should set the data configuration at the local port, i.e. baud rate and parity, so that communication will be at the
same rate and format as that set on the relay and the error correction is disabled.
Auto-answer usually requires two parameters to be set. The auto-answer setting should be switched on and the
number of rings after which it will answer. The Data Terminal Ready (DTR) settings should be forced on. This tells
the modem that the device connected to it is ready to receive data.
The parameters of the modem's RS232C port are set to match those set on the relay, set baud rate and parity to
be the same as the settings on the relay and number of data bits to be 8 and stop bits 1. Note, although the device
may be able to communicate with the modem at, for example, 19200 bps, the modem may only be able to transmit
over the telephone lines at 14400 bps. Therefore, a baud rate setting on which the modem can transmit should be
chosen. In the aboveexample, a baud rate of 9600 should be chosen.
As the modems are required to be transparent, simply passing on the data sent from the controller to the device
and vice versa, error correction and buffering is turned off.
When using a Sigma converter without an external power supply, if possible the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) line on
the Modem should be forced on, as this will be used to power the Sigma unit.
Finally, the settings selected for configuration should be stored in the modem's memory for power on defaults.

8.4 Connecting to the Remote Modem


Once the remote modem has been configured correctly, it should be possible to make connection to the relay.

2013 Siemens Protection Devices Limited

Chapter 4 - Page 59 of 66

Chapter 4) 7SR158 - Data Communications

Where a dial-up modem system is installed the settings on the remote modem are fixed so the local modem should
negotiate with it on connection, choosing suitable matching settings. Where this is not possible the local modem
should be set with settings equivalent to those of the remote modem as described above.

Chapter 4 - Page 60 of 66

2013 Siemens Protection Devices Limited

Chapter 4) 7SR158 - Data Communications

9. Configuration
The data points and control features which are possible within the relay is fixed and can be transmitted over
the communication channel(s) protocols in the default format described earlier in this document. The default data
transmitted is not always directly compatible with the needs of the substation control system and will require some
tailoring; this can be done by the user with the Reydisp software Communications Editor tool.
The Communications Editor is provided to allow its users to configure the Communication Protocol's Files in Reyrolle
brand Relays manufactured by Siemens Protection Devices Limited (SPDL).
The editor supports configuring DNP3, IEC60870-5-103, IEC60870-5-101 and MODBUS protocols.
The editor allows configuration files to be retrieved from the relay, edited, and then uploaded back to the relay. Files
may also be saved to and loaded from disc to work offline. The protocols will be stored in a Reyrolle Protection Device
Comms file (RPDC), which will be stored locally, so that the editor can be used when the relay is not connected.

DNP3
The tool will allow:

Data Points to be enabled or disabled.

Changing the point numbers for the Binary Inputs, Double Bit Inputs, Binary Outputs,
Counters and Analogue Inputs.

Changing their assigned class and static and event variants.

Specifying inclusion in a Class 0 poll.

Setting Binary points to be inverted before transmission.

Setting the Control Relay Output Block (CROB) commands that can be used with a
Binary Output (Object 12).

Specifying a dead-band outside which Analogue Events will be generated.

Specifying a multiplier that will be applied to an analogue value before transmission.

Configuring a Counter's respective Frozen Counter.

IEC60870-5-103
The tool will allow:

Data Points to be enabled or disabled.

Changing the point numbers Function Type (FUN) and Information (INF), returned by
each point.

Changing the text returned to Reydisp for display in its event viewer.

MODBUS

2013 Siemens Protection Devices Limited

Chapter 4 - Page 61 of 66

Chapter 4) 7SR158 - Data Communications

Note, as MODBUS points are polled they do not need to be enabled or disabled.
The tool will allow:

Changing the Addresses for the Coils, Inputs and Registers.

Changing the format of the instrument returned in a register, e.g. 16 or 32 bit.

Specifying a multiplier that will be applied to an analogue value before transmission.

The user can check if the relay contains user configured communication files via a meter in the relay menus. Pressing
the Enter and down arrow buttons on the fascia, then scrolling down, the number of files stored in the relay is
displayed. The file name can also be viewed by pressing the Cancel and Test/Reset buttons together when in the
relay Instruments menu. The user must ensure when naming the file, they use a unique file name including the
version number.
Please refer to the Communications Editor User Guide for further guidance.

Chapter 5) 7SR158 Installation Guide

Section 1: Installation
1.1

Packaging

Relays are supplied in packaging designed to mechanically protect them while in both transit and
storage.
This packaging should be recycled where systems exist, or disposed of in a manner which does not
provide a threat to health or the environment. All laws and regulations specific to the country of disposal
should be adhered to.

1.2

Unpacking, Storage and Handling

On receipt remove the relay from the container in which it was received and inspect it for obvious
damage. It is recommended that the relay not be removed from its case.
If damage has been sustained a claim should be immediately be made against the carrier, also inform
Siemens Protection Devices Limited, and the nearest Siemens agent.
When not required for immediate use, Relays should be stored in their original packaging. The place of
storage should be dry and free from dust. It should also not exceed the storage temperature and
humidity limits of the Relay; given in the Performance Specification of this manual.
The relay contains static sensitive devices, which are susceptible to damage due to static discharge.
The relays electronic circuits are protected from damage by static discharge when the relay is housed in
its case.
The relay element should not be withdrawn or reinserted into the relay case while auxiliary voltage is
present.
There can be no requirement to disassemble any relay, since there are no user serviceable parts in the
relay. If any modules have been tampered with, then the guarantee will be invalidated. Siemens
Protection Devices Limited reserves the right to charge for any subsequent repairs.

1.3

Recommended Mounting Position

The relay uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) for programming and operation. The LCD has a vertical
viewing angle of 30 and is backlit. However, the best viewing position is at eye level, and this is
particularly important given its control features.
The relay should be mounted on the circuit breaker (or protection panel) to allow the operator the best
access to the relay functions

1.4

Wiring

The product should be wired according to the scheme requirements, with reference to the appropriate
wiring diagram.
Note that when the Relay is powered-up for the first time, it is good practice to do so with the trip and
control links removed. This limits potential damage caused by incorrect scheme wiring.

1.5

Earthing

Terminal 28 of the PSU (Power Supply Unit) should be solidly earthed by a direct connection to the
panel earth. The Relay case earth stud connection should be connected to terminal 28 of the PSU.
It is normal practice to additionally 'daisy chain' together the case (safety) earths of all the Relays
installed in a panel to prevent earth current loops posing a risk to personnel.

Chapter 5) 7SR158 Installation Guide

1.6

Ancillary Equipment

The relay can be interrogated locally or remotely. For local interrogation a portable PC with suitable
version of MS Windows (2000 SP4 or XP SP2)and Reydisp Evolution s/w (Latest Version available 32
bit) using USB port situated on front of the relay.

1.7

Disposal

The Relay should be disposed of in a manner which does not provide a threat to health or the
environment. All laws and regulations specific to the country of disposal should be adhered to.
The relays and protection systems manufactured under the Reyrolle brand currently do not come within
the scope of either the European WEEE or RoHS directives as they are equipment making up a fixed
installation.

Section 6: Data Comms Connections

6.1

RS485 Connection

The RS485 communication port is located on the rear of the relay and can be connected using a suitable RS485
120 screened twisted pair cable.
The RS485 electrical connection can be used in a single or multi-drop configuration. The RS485 master must
support and use the Auto Device Enable (ADE) feature.
The last device in the connection must be terminated correctly in accordance with the master driving the
connection. A terminating resistor is fitted in each relay, when required this is connected in circuit using an
external wire loop between terminals 18 and 20 of the power supply module.
Up to 64 relays can be connected to the RS485 bus.
The RS485 data communications link with a particular relay will be broken if the relay element is withdrawn from
the case, all other relays will still communicate.

Section 1: Common Functions


1.1

Overview

Commissioning tests are carried out to prove:


a)

Equipment has not been damaged in transit.

b)

Equipment has been correctly connected and installed.

c)

Characteristics of the protection and settings which are based on calculations.

d)

Confirm that settings have been correctly applied.

e)

To obtain a set of test results for future reference.

1.2

Before Testing

1.2.1

Safety

The commissioning and maintenance of this equipment should only be carried out by skilled personnel trained in
protective relay maintenance and capable of observing all the safety precautions and regulations appropriate to
this type of equipment and also the associated primary plant.
Ensure that all test equipment and leads have been correctly maintained and are in good condition. It is
recommended that all power supplies to test equipment be connected via a Residual Current Device (RCD),
which should be located as close to the supply source as possible.
The choice of test instrument and test leads must be appropriate to the application. Fused instrument leads
should be used when measurements of power sources are involved, since the selection of an inappropriate range
on a multi-range instrument could lead to a dangerous flashover.

1.2.2

Sequence of Tests

If other equipment is to be tested at the same time, then such testing must be co-ordinated to avoid danger to
personnel and equipment.
When cabling and wiring is complete, a comprehensive check of all terminations for tightness and compliance
with the approved diagrams must be carried out. This can then be followed by the insulation resistance tests,
which if satisfactory allows the wiring to be energised by either the appropriate supply or test supplies.
When primary injection tests are completed satisfactorily, all remaining systems can be functionally tested before
the primary circuit is energised. Some circuits may require further tests before being put on load.
Protection relay testing will require access to the protection system wiring diagrams, relay configuration
information and protection settings. The following sequence of tests is loosely based on the arrangement of the
relay menu structure. A test log based on the actual tests completed should be recorded for each relay tested.
The Description of Operation section of this manual provides detailed information regarding the operation of
each function of the relay. All functions are not available in all devices, please refer the Description of Operation
section to establish your function set.

2013 Siemens Protection Devices Limited

Chapter 6 Page 5 of 24

Chapter 6) 7SR158 Commissioning & Maintenance Guide

1.2.3

Test Equipment

Required test equipment is:


1.

Secondary injection equipment with integral time interval meter

2.

Primary injection equipment

3.

A power source with nominal voltage within the working range of the relay's auxiliary supply rating.

4.

A power source with nominal voltage within the working range of the relays binary input rating.

5.

Other equipment as appropriate to the protection being commissioned this will be specified in the
product specific documentation.

The secondary injection equipment should be appropriate to the protection functions to be tested. Additional
equipment for general tests and for testing the communications channel is:
6.

Portable PC with appropriate interface equipment.

7.

Printer to operate from the above PC (Optional).

1.2.4

Use of PC to facilitate testing

The functions of Reydisp Evolution (see Section 2: Settings and Instruments) can be used during the
commissioning tests to assist with test procedures or to provide documentation recording the test and test
parameters. One method is to clear both the waveform and event records before each test is started, then, after
the test upload from the relay the settings, events and waveform files generated as a result of application of the
test. These can then be saved off to retain a comprehensive record of that test.
Relay settings files can be prepared on the PC (offline) or on the relay before testing commences. These settings
should be saved for reference and compared with the settings at the end of testing to check that errors have not
been introduced during testing and that any temporary changes to settings to suit the test process are returned to
the required service state.
A copy of the Relay Settings as a Rich Text Format (.rtf) file suitable for printing or for record purposes can be
produced from Reydisp as follows. From the File menu select Save As, change the file type to Export
Default/Actual Setting (.RTF) and input a suitable filename.
When testing is completed the event and waveform records should be cleared and the settings file checked to
ensure that the required in-service settings are being applied.

1.2.5

Precautions

Before electrical testing commences the equipment should be isolated from the voltage transformers. The tripping
and alarm circuits should also be isolated where practical. The provision and use of secondary injection test
sockets on the panel simplifies the isolation and test procedure.
Ensure that the correct auxiliary supply voltage and polarity is applied. See the relevant scheme diagrams for the
relay connections.

1.2.6

Applying Settings

The relay settings for the particular application should be applied before any secondary testing occurs. If they are
not available then the relay has default settings that can be used for pre-commissioning tests. See the Relay
Settings section of this manual for the default settings.
Note that the tripping and alarm contacts for any function must be programmed correctly before any scheme tests
are carried out.
Relays feature multiple settings groups, only one of which is active at a time. In applications where more than one
settings group is to be used it may be necessary to test the relay in more than one configuration.
Note. One group may be used as a Test group to hold test-only settings that can be used for regular
maintenance testing, eliminating the need for the Test Engineer to interfere with the actual in-service settings in
the normally active group. This Test group may also be used for functional testing where it is necessary to disable
or change settings to facilitate testing.

Chapter 6 - Page 6 of 24

2013 Siemens Protection Devices Limited

Chapter 6) 7SR158 Commissioning and Maintenance Guide

When using settings groups it is important to remember that the relay need not necessarily be operating
according to the settings that are currently being displayed. There is an active settings group on which the relay
operates and an edit/view settings group which is visible on the display and which can be altered. This allows the
settings in one group to be altered from the relay fascia while the protection continues to operate on a different
unaffected group. The Active Settings Group and the Edit Settings Group are selected in the System
Configuration Menu.
The currently Active Group and the group currently Viewed are shown at the top of the display in the Settings
display screen. If the View Group is not shown at the top of the display, this indicates that the setting is common
to all groups. CT/VT ratio, I/O mapping and other settings which are directly related to hardware are common to
all groups.
If the relay is allowed to trip during testing then the instruments display will be interrupted and replaced by the
Trip Alert screen which displays fault data information. If this normal operation interferes with testing then this
function can be temporarily disabled for the duration of testing by use of the Trip Alert Enabled/Disabled setting in
the System Config Menu.
After applying a settings change to the relay, which may involve a change to the indication and output contacts,
the TEST/RESET key should be pressed to ensure any existing indication and output is correctly cleared.

1.3

Tests

1.3.1

Inspection

Ensure that all connections are tight and correct to the relay wiring diagram and the scheme diagram. Record any
deviations. Check that the relay is correctly programmed and that it is fully inserted into the case. Refer to
Section 2: Settings and Instruments for information on programming the relay.

1.3.2

Secondary Injection Tests

Select the required relay configuration and settings for the application.
Isolate the auxiliary D.C. supplies for alarm and tripping from the relay and remove the trip and intertrip links.
Carry out injection tests for each relay function, as described in this document

1.3.3

Primary Injection Tests

Primary injection tests are essential to check the ratio and polarity of the transformers as well as the secondary
wiring.

1.3.4

Putting into Service

After tests have been performed satisfactorily the relay should be put back into service as follows:Remove all test connections.
Replace all secondary circuit fuses and links, or close m.c.b.
Ensure the Protection Healthy LED is on, steady, and that all LED indications are correct. If necessary press
CANCEL until the Relay Identifier screen is displayed, then press TEST/RESET to reset the indication LEDs.
The relay meters should be checked in Instruments Mode with the relay on load.
The relay settings should be downloaded to a computer and a printout of the settings produced. The installed
settings should then be compared against the required settings supplied before testing began. Automated setting
comparison can be carried out by Reydisp using the Compare Settings Groups function in the Edit menu. Any
modified settings will be clearly highlighted.

1.5

Binary Inputs

The operation of the binary input(s) can be monitored on the Binary Input Meters display shown in Instruments
Mode. Apply the required supply voltage onto each binary input in turn and check for correct operation.
Depending on the application, each binary input may be programmed to perform a specific function; each binary
should be checked to prove that its mapping and functionality is as set as part of the Scheme Operation tests.
Where the pick-up timers associated with a binary input are set for DC operation these delays should be checked
either as part of the scheme logic or individually. To check a binary pick-up time delay, temporarily map the binary
input to an output relay that has a normally open contact. This can be achieved in the Output Matrix sub-menu by
utilising the BI n Operated settings. Use an external timer to measure the interval between binary input
energisation and closure of the output contacts. Similarly, to measure the drop-off delay, map the binary input to
an output relay that has a normally closed contact, time the interval between binary input de-energisation and
closure of the output contacts.
For AC operation of binary inputs, these timers are used to ensure correct operation from AC voltage and if a
delayed pickup is required this must be provided by additional quicklogic configuration. An example is shown in
Chapter 7 Applications Guide.
Note. The time measured will include an additional delay, typically less than 20ms, due to the response time of
the binary input hardware, software processing time and the operate time of the output relay.

Binary Outputs

Eight binary output relays are provided. Two of these, BO1 & BO2, have change-over contacts and the remainder
have normally open contacts.
Care should be observed with regard to connected devices when forcing contacts to operate for test purposes.
Short duration energisation can cause contact failure due to exceeding the break capacity when connected to
inductive load such as electrically reset trip relays.
Close each output relay in turn from the Reydisp Evolution PC programme, Relay Control - Close output relay.
This function will energise the output for its minimum operate time. This time is specified in the Output Config Binary Output Config menu for each output relay and may be too short to measure with a continuity tester.
An alternative method of energising an output permanently so that wiring can be checked is to temporarily map
the relay being tested to the Protection Healthy signal in the Output Matrix, as this signal is permanently
energised the mapped relay will be held energised, normally open contacts will be closed and vice versa.

Section 2: Protection Functions


This section details the procedures for testing each protection function of the relay. These tests are carried out to
verify the accuracy of the protection pick-ups and time delays at setting and to confirm correct operation of any
associated input and output functionality.
The exact model type must be checked to confirm the functions available.
Guidance for calculating test input quantities is given in the relevant test description where required. In many
cases it may be necessary to disable some functions during the testing of other functions, this prevents any
ambiguity caused by the operation of multiple functions from one set of input quantities. The Function Config
Menu provides a convenient high level point at which all elements of a particular function can be
Enabled/Disabled to suit testing. The Config tab in Reydisp Evolution can be used to Enable/Disable individual
elements. Note that this screen disables functions by applying setting changes to the relay and that any changes
must be sent to the relay to take effect and settings must be returned to their correct value after testing.

Any LED can be assigned to be a General Pickup LED in the Output Matrix menu and used to assess operation
of functions during testing if other functions are disabled or if the setting allocating General Pickup is temporarily
modified.
It should be considered that where several overlapping elements are used simultaneously, the overall protection
operate time may be dependent on the operation of different individual elements at the various levels of applied
current or voltage. The resulting composite characteristic may be tested by enabling all of the relevant applicable
elements or the element operations can be separated or disabled and tested individually.
All relay settings should be checked before testing begins. It is recommended that the relay settings are extracted
from the relay using Reydisp Evolution software and a copy of these settings is stored for reference during and
after testing. It may be necessary to disable some protection functions during the testing of other functions to
allow unambiguous results to be obtained.
Care must be taken to reset or re-enable any settings that have been temporarily altered during the testing before
the relay can be put into service. At the end of testing the relay settings should be compared to the file extracted
at the start to ensure that errors have not been introduced.

Where more than one Undervoltage (27) elements are being used with different settings, it is convenient to test
the elements with the lowest settings first. The elements with higher settings can then be tested without disabling
the lower settings.
Note that if the voltage is reduced below the 27UVG setting, the function may be blocked.
If the O/P Phases is set to All, the voltage on all phases must be reduced simultaneously. Otherwise the 3
phases should be tested individually. If the DTL is short, starting from nominal voltage, slowly decrease the
applied 3P or VL1 test voltage until the Pickup LED (temporarily mapped) is lit. Record the operate voltage. The
LED should light at setting Volts +/-5%. Slowly increase the input voltage until the LED extinguishes. Record the
reset voltage to check the Hysteresis setting. If the DTL is long, the operate level should be checked by applying
a voltage of 90% of setting voltage. Check Hysteresis by resetting the element to the operate level setting plus the
hysteresis setting.
Connect the relevant output contact(s) to stop the test set. Step the applied voltage to a level below the setting.
The test set should be stopped at the operate time setting +/-5%
Test inputs VL2 and VL3 by repeating the above if necessary.
Where more than one overvoltage (59) elements are being used with different settings, it is convenient to test the
elements with the highest settings first. The elements with lower settings can then be tested without disabling the
higher settings.
If the O/P Phases is set to All, the voltage on all phases must be increased simultaneously. Otherwise the 3
phases should be tested individually. If the DTL setting is short, starting from nominal voltage, slowly increase the
applied 3P or VL1 test voltage until the Pickup LED (temporarily mapped) is lit. The LED should light at setting
Volts +/-5% Decrease the input voltage to nominal Volts and the LED will extinguish. Record the reset voltage to
check the Hysteresis setting. If the DTL setting is long, the operate level can be checked by applying 100% of
setting to cause operation followed by setting minus the Hysteresis setting to cause reset.
Connect the relevant output contact(s) to stop the test set. Step the applied voltage to a level above the setting.
The test set should be stopped at the operate time setting +/-5%

If any 27 Undervoltage element is set to be inhibited by the 27 Undervoltage Guard element, this function should
be tested.
Connect the test voltage inputs to suit the installation wiring diagram utilising any test socket facilities available. It
may be useful to temporarily map an LED as General Pickup to assist during testing. 27UVG operation will reset
the General Pickup if no other element is operated. This LED should not be set as Hand Reset in the Output
matrix.
Starting from nominal voltage, apply a step decrease to the applied voltage to a level below the 27 Undervoltage
setting but above the 27UVG setting such that an Undervoltage element operation occurs. Slowly reduce the
applied voltage until the 27 Undervoltage element resets, this can be detected by the General Pickup LED reset if
no other element is operated (this includes any Undervoltage element which is not UV Guarded).

Vector shift is a 3-phase protection and therefore test voltages must be applied to all VT inputs. Elements with the
highest pick-up setting should be tested first. The elements with lower pick-up settings can then be tested without
the need to disable the elements already tested.
To test operation of the 78 elements, it is necessary to step change the phase jump in the voltage waveform.
The size of the jump is increased with each with test step until the element operates. Being instantaneous, there
should be no difference between the element picking-up and operating. Therefore the 78-n output contact can be
used for both pick-up and timing measurements.

Map Pickup LED:

81-n - Self Reset

This function can be tested by application of 1P or 3P voltage. For Over-frequency, the elements with the highest
setting should be tested first and for Under-frequency the elements with the lowest settings should be tested first.
The elements with other settings can then be tested without need to disable the elements already tested. Note
that the relay is designed to track the gradual changes in power system frequency and that sudden step changes
in frequency during testing do not reflect normal system operation. Normal instantaneous operation of the
frequency element is 140-175ms in line with the Performance Specification. Application of sudden step changes
to frequency can add additional delay which can produce misleading test results.
Gradually increase/decrease applied voltage frequency until 81-n operation occurs. Elements set for more
extreme frequency fluctuation should be tested first with lesser elements disabled.
If the 81-n Delay setting is long it will be advantageous to map the function to temporarily drive the relevant
Pickup output in the Pickup Config sub-menu in the Output Config menu as this will allow the Pick-up led to
operate for the function. If the delay setting is short the operation of the element can be easily checked directly.
The frequency should then be gradually decreased / increased until the element resets. The reset frequency can
be used to check the Hysteresis setting.
If the element is set as 81-n U/V Guarded, The applied voltage must be above the 81 UV Guard Setting in the
U/O Frequency menu.
Apply setting frequency +0.5Hz for Over-frequency or -0.5Hz for Under-frequency and record operating time.
Starting with the element in the operated condition, gradually increase or decrease the applied voltage until the
element resets. Measure the reset voltage level to check the 81 Hysteresis setting.

Periodic Tests

During the life of the relay, it should be checked for operation during the normal maintenance period for the site
on which the product is installed. It is recommended the following tests are carried out:Visual inspection of the metering display
1. Operation of output contacts
2. Secondary injection of each element

5.2

Maintenance

Relay failure will be indicated by the Protection Healthy LED being off or flashing. A message may also be
displayed on the LCD. In the event of failure Siemens Protection Devices Ltd. (or one of its agents) should be
contacted see defect report sheet in section 5.3.
The relay should be returned as a complete unit. No attempt should be made to disassemble the unit to isolate
and return only the damaged sub-assembly. It may however be convenient to fit the withdrawable relay to the
outer case from a spare relay, to avoid the disturbance of relay panel wiring, for return to Siemens Protection
Devices Ltd. The withdrawn relay should never be transported without the protection of the outer case.

Section 1: Introduction
The 7SR158 relay can be applied for all voltage and frequency functions. The relay is used to provide underfrequency load shedding. The Rate of Change of Frequency or Vector Shift functions can be used to detect loss
of connection between a distributed generator and the main utility supply (Loss of Mains or Islanding).

1.1

Loss of Mains (LoM)

Where the electrical connection between Distributed generation (DG), such as a Wind Farm, combined heat &
power system, etc. and the electricity supply system is broken (Loss-of-Mains), it is usual for the embedded
generation to be physically disconnected from the system by means of tripping interconnecting Circuit-Breakers
(CBs). The DG must not be allowed to supply a part of the network once it has become electrically isolated from
the main grid supply.
In some cases the disconnected generation may be allowed to continue in operation to feed local loads as an
islanded system. However the islanding may have adverse safety and operational implications for both the
Generator Operator and Utility Provider and it is then a requirement to disconnect from both the electricity system
and local loads when LoM occurs. Following restoration of the electricity system, the embedded generation must
then be safely re-synchronised with the system before the connection is restored.
Restoring the electrical network with the distributed generation still connected can lead to CB damage and voltage
disturbances. The LoM detection must therefore be fast enough to ensure that the electricity supply is not
restored for example by auto-reclosure before the embedded generation is disconnected.
At the same time, the embedded generation must remain connected the LoM protection must remain stable during normal operating conditions, such as voltage depression.
Vector Shift (78) and Rate-of-Change of-Frequency (81R) monitoring is used to detect loss of mains. The
method applicable to a particular system depends largely on the generators inertia (ability to resist change). For
smaller generators, perhaps up to 250kV, vector shift will be most applicable. These small machines are not
usually able to tolerate sudden changes in load and so react in an abnormal manner by phase jumping. Larger
generators are more able to resist sudden changes in load, their slower reaction resulting in a gradual rolling-off
of the frequency. This makes ROCOF more applicable. These are just general guidelines, however, and a
complete LOM protection provides both elements.

Section 2: Protection Functions


2.1

Under/Over Voltage Protection (27/59)

Each under and over voltage element has a variable hysteresis setting which allows the user to adjust the pickup/drop-off ratio of the element. Where for example the 27/59-n Hysteresis setting is set at 2% for over-voltage
operation then a pick-up setting of 100V would have a drop-off value of 98V.
When using the variable hysteresis, care has to be taken to ensure that with under-voltage elements, the reset
level of the element is not set to a value higher than that at which the system rated voltage is expected to operate.
Conversely, the level of hysteresis set for an over-voltage element should not be set below that at which the
system rated voltage is expected to run.

2.1.1

Under-Voltage

During normal system operating conditions regulating equipment such as transformer On Load Tap Changers
(OLTC) and generator Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) ensure that the system runs within acceptable
voltage limits. Power system under-voltages on may occur due to system faults, increase in system loading or a
non-energized power system e.g. loss of an incoming transformer.
Undervoltage/DTL elements can be used to detect abnormal undervoltage conditions due to system overloads.
Binary outputs can be configured to trip non-essential loads - returning the system back to its normal operating
levels. This load shedding should be initiated via time delay elements so avoiding operation during transient
disturbances. An undervoltage scheme (or a combined under frequency/under voltage scheme) can provide
faster tripping of non-essential loads than under-frequency load shedding so minimising the possibility of system
instability.
Where a transformer is supplying 3-phase motors a significant voltage drop e.g. to below 80% may cause the
motors to stall. An undervoltage element can be set to trip motor circuits when the voltage falls below a preset
value so that on restoration of supply an overload is not caused by the simultaneous starting of all the motors. A
time delay is required to ensure voltage dips due to remote system faults do not result in an unnecessary
disconnection of motors.
To confirm presence/loss of supply, the voltage elements should be set to values safely above/below that where a
normal system voltage excursion can be expected. The switchgear/plant design should be considered. The Dead
level may be very near to the live level or may be significantly below it. The variable hysteresis setting allows the
relay to be used with all types of switchgear.

2.1.2

Over-Voltage

System over-voltages can damage component insulation. Excessive voltage may occur for sudden loss of load, a
tap changer run-away condition, generator AVR equipment malfunctions or reactive compensation control
malfunctions.
System regulating equipment such as transformer tap changers and generator AVRs may correct the overvoltage
unless this equipment mal-functions. The overvoltage/DTL elements can be used to protect against damage
caused by system overvoltages.
If the overvoltage condition is small a relatively long DTL time delay can be used. If the overvoltage is more
severe then another element, set at a higher pickup level and with a shorter DTL can be used to isolate the circuit
more quickly. Alternatively, elements can be set to provide alarm and tripping stages, with the alarm levels set
lower than the tripping stages.
The use of DTL settings allows a grading system to be applied to co-ordinate the network design, the regulating
plant design, system plant insulation withstand and with other overvoltage relays elsewhere on the system. The
DTL also prevents operation during transient disturbances.
The use of IDMTL protection is not recommended because of the difficulty of choosing settings to ensure correct
co-ordination and security of supply.

2.2

Negative Phase Sequence Overvoltage (47)

Unbalanced voltage on a 3-phase network results as a consequence of unbalanced load current causing unequal
voltage drops in network impedances. The unbalanced load current could be the result of single phase open
circuits (isolator failures, broken conductors etc.) or because of loads generating harmonics (e.g. thyristor drives).
Unbalanced voltage generated at a busbar has the knock-on
Negative Phase Sequence (NPS) protection detects phase unbalance and is widely used in protecting rotating
plant such as motors and generators. However such protection is almost universally based on detecting NPS
Current rather than Voltage. This is because the NPS impedance of motors etc. is much less than the Positive
Phase Sequence (PPS) impedance and therefore the ratio of NPS to PPS Current is much higher than the
equivalent ratio of NPS to PPS Voltage.
NPS Voltage is instead used for monitoring busbar supply quality rather than detecting system faults. The
presence of NPS Voltage is due to unbalanced load on a system. Any system voltage abnormality is important
since it will affect every motor connected to the source of supply and can result in mass failures in an industrial
plant.
The two NPS Voltage DTL elements should therefore be used as Alarms to indicate that the level of NPS has
reached abnormal levels. Remedial action can then be taken, such as introducing a Balancer network of
capacitors and inductors. Very high levels of NPS Voltage indicate incorrect phase sequence due to an incorrect
connection.

2.3

Neutral Overvoltage (59N)

The three phases of a balanced healthy system summate to zero. When a single-phase earth fault occurs the
system balance is upset and a residual/neutral voltage is produced. Neutral Over-Voltage protection, sometimes
referred to as Neutral Voltage Displacement (NVD) protection, is used to detect an earth fault where little or no
earth current flows.
This can occur where a feeder has been tripped at its HV side for an earth fault, but the circuit is still energised
from the LV side via an unearthed transformer winding. Insufficient earth current would be present to cause a trip,
but residual voltage would increase significantly; reaching up to 3-times the normal phase-earth voltage level.
If Neutral Overvoltage protection is used, it must be suitably time graded with other protections in order to prevent
unwanted tripping for external system earth faults.

Figure 2.3-1 Neutral Overvoltage Application

The neutral voltage (3V0) can be measured directly or derived from the phase-neutral voltages - see Figure 2.3-2.

2.3.1

Application with Capacitor Cone Units

Capacitor cones are used to provide a neutral voltage output where conventional VTs are too large or too
expensive. A capacitor cone adaptor unit (type 7XG21) is used with the 7SR158 to enable the relay input to be
calibrated for a range of capacitor cone values such that protection settings and instruments can be scaled to the
primary NVD value - see Figure 2.3-2.

2.3.2

Derived Neutral Voltage

Neutral voltage can be derived from the three phase to neutral voltages the relay will derive neutral voltage
when the CT/VT CONFIG setting is selected to Van,Vbn,Vcn. Note with this method the NVD protection may
mal-operate during a VT Fail condition.

2.4

Vector Shift (78)

When a Generator is connected to an electricity supply system, the Generator will respond to any transitory
changes in load to keep both voltage and frequency levels as close to constant as possible. When a LoM event
occurs, however, the Generator is unable to respond instantaneously to the sudden, large-scale change in load
and an instantaneous shift in the phase of the Generator voltage can result (Voltage Vector Shift). The sudden
change in load causes a sudden change in cycle length. The cycle length becomes shorter or longer depending
on whether the newly formed island has a surplus or shortage of generation.

Figure 2.4-1 Vector Shift


This vector shift can be in either direction depending on whether load increases or decreases. Where the DG
capacity is insufficient to supply the local load and power is supplemented from the mains then a LoM event will
cause the DG load to increase.
With an increase in load, the voltage would tend to jump back; as in Figure 2.4-1. This would occur when a trip
on the mains network has left the distributed generation to try and supply the whole of the downstream load. This
would be the usual condition leading to a LOM tripping.
Alternatively, if the local generation is supplying both a local load and the mains network such as happens with
some industrial systems, disconnection from the mains network would create an islanding condition in which there
may be an excess of electrical supply and the voltage would tend to jump forward.
There is an obvious link between the 78 element and the 81R (Rate-of-Change-of-Frequency) element. However
the equivalent vector shift seen for expected ROCOF levels should not result in operation of the 78 element:

The highest 81R pick-up setting is 10 Hz/s


This equates to a ROCOF of 0.1 Hz over the 10ms measuring interval
Giving an equivalent vector shift of (360 / 50 Hz) x 0.1 Hz = 0.72
At 60Hz system frequency, the equivalent is 0.5 vector shift at maximum ROCOF setting

Attempting to differentiate between the two elements at inordinately high levels of ROCOF would impose a delay
on the operation of the 78 element and so this is considered acceptable. Momentary changes in phase can occur
due to load switching operations. These can be as great as 5 and must be allowed for in the setting of the 78
pick-up setting. A setting of 6 is recommended by the G.59 standard for connection of distributed generation to
an electricity supply system, and settings of 8 to 12 are typical.
When the exported power to the mains network is very low, there is a risk that the drop in load will be insufficient
to cause a vector shift. Or will cause a vector shift of limited extent. Generally it is required that exported power
will be of the order of 10-20% of total power generated before a LOM will always be detected.

2.5

Under/Over Frequency (81)

During normal system operation the frequency will continuously vary over a relatively small range due to the
changing generation/load balance. Excessive frequency variation may occur for:
Loss of generating capacity, or loss of mains supply (under-frequency): If the governors and other
regulating equipment cannot respond to correct the balance, a sustained under-frequency condition may
lead to a system collapse.
Loss of load excess generation (over-frequency): The generator speeds will increase causing a
proportional frequency rise. This may be unacceptable to industrial loads, for example, where the
running speeds of synchronous motors will be affected.
In the situation where the system frequency is falling rapidly it is common practise to disconnect non-essential
loads until the generation-load balance can be restored. Usually, automatic load shedding, based on underfrequency is implemented. Under-frequency relays are usually installed on the transformer incomers of
distribution or industrial substations as this provides a convenient position from which to monitor the busbar
frequency. Loads are disconnected from the busbar (shed) in stages until the frequency stabilises and returns to
an acceptable level.
The relay has six under/over frequency elements.
An example scheme may have the first load shedding stage set just below the nominal frequency, e.g. between
49.0 - 49.5Hz. A time delay element would be associated with this to allow for transient dips in frequency and to
provide a time for the system regulating equipment to respond. If the first load shedding stage disconnects
sufficient plant the frequency will stabilise and perhaps return to nominal. If, however, this is not sufficient then a
second load shedding stage, set at a lower frequency, will shed further loads until the overload is relieved. This
process will continue until all stages have operated. In the event of the load shedding being unsuccessful, a final
stage of under-frequency protection should be provided to totally isolate all loads before plant is damaged, e.g.
due to over-fluxing.
An alternative type of load shedding scheme would be to set all under-frequency stages to about the same
frequency setting but to have different length time delays set on each stage. If after the first stage is shed the
frequency doesnt recover then subsequent stages will shed after longer time delays have elapsed.

Chapter 7) Page 10 of 24

Chapter 7) 7SR158 Applications Guide

2.6

Rate-of-Change-of-Frequency (81R)

For some applications, operation of 81 (Under/Over-Frequency) elements can take an unacceptably long time.
e.g. where the frequency changes gradually and so takes time to reach the Under or Over-Frequency pick-up
level; after which the element delay to trip will then begin. For such applications it may be more desirable to use
an 81R Rate of Change of Frequency (ROCOF) element.

Figure 2.6-1 Use of ROCOF elements

ROCOF is applied to both load shedding and loss-of-mains (LOM) detection. In both instances, it may be
necessary to have fast tripping times. For load shedding it may be necessary to restore voltage and frequency
levels to regulated levels within a regulated timeframe. For LOM, it may be necessary to disconnect a source of
generation before the mains network is restored e.g. by auto-reclosure thereby avoiding synchronising problems.
Where load has reduced, creating an excess of generated power, frequency will rise and a positive df/dt curve will
result. This would be the case where a local load has become islanded and the local generation is higher than
that required to supply it. Reductions in downstream load levels, caused by switching or tripping events, should
not be sufficient to cause the 81R elements to operate since the connection to the mains supply will ensure
voltage and frequency regulation and the effect on the local generation should not be great.
If the User is concerned about vector shifts below 3, then the delay setting should used to delay operation of the
81R element. A delay of 300ms will ensure that the 81R element will not operate for a vector shift of any size.

2.6.1

Loss of Mains (LOM)

ROCOFs of up to 0.1 Hz/s can be expected on power networks due to normal system operations. The G.59
standard, defining the requirements for connecting significant distributed generation to a mains supply, therefore
recommends an 81R pick-up setting of 0.125 Hz/s. However frequency does not decay in a linear manner and for
this reason it is inadvisable to set the 81R element to be too fast; a short period of rapid decay may be
uncharacteristic of the system condition but sufficient to trip off the element. Not allowing for this complex decay
characteristic is one of the main reasons that 81R protection has gained a reputation for being unstable. At such a
low level of 81R pick-up as 0.125 Hz/s, a delay in the order of 300ms is recommended.
The second 81R element can be set to a higher pick-up level, but with a corresponding reduction in operate time.

2.6.2

Load Shedding

Frequency broadly decays in an exponential curve during a load shedding situation, eventually stabilising at a
reduced level. However predicting the rate of decay is a complex issue; the most significant factors being the
scale of the overload and the amount of inertia (resistance to change) in the network. A number of operational
conditions will have an effect and these will rarely be constant over a number of load shedding events. For this
reason a detailed knowledge of the system is essential for arriving at suitable settings.

2014 Siemens Protection Devices Limited

Chapter 7) Page 11 of 24

Chapter 7) 7SR158 Applications Guide

Where other protection elements are used as part of the Load Shedding scheme such as 27 (under-voltage) or
81 (under-frequency) it is advisable that the 81R elements are set so that they contribute to the overall scheme
coverage. Operate times should be long enough so that any previous loading shedding event has had an
opportunity to take effect; there will be a delay between a load shedding command being sent and the resulting
reduction in load during which frequency may continue to fall. A delay of 300ms to 400ms will be sufficient to
allow for all cases.
In particular it must be remembered that automatic load-shedding represents a highly unusual system condition
and can be viewed as an emergency, last-ditch measure. For this reason it should never be set too sensitively or
too fast-acting, inadvertent loss of load having a potentially catastrophic effect on the power network.
The provision of programmable logic in the Relays means that Protection features can be easily configured to
provide quite complex control functionality. For example, following a load shedding event, an 81 Under/Over
Frequency element can be configured to provide load restoration once the frequency has recovered for a
minimum duration. With the order of load restoration being defined in sequential logic.
Alternatively, to improve stability, an 81 element can be used as a starter for the 81R elements. In this case the
81R elements could be inhibited until the frequency varies by an abnormal amount; as indicated by the picking-up
of the 81 element.
Where a high rate of frequency change has been detected indicating a large generated power to load
imbalance, it may be preferable to shed two or more load groups at the same time without waiting for the relative
under-frequency levels to be reached.

Quick Logic Applications


Auto-Changeover Scheme Example

Figure 3.1-1 Quick Logic Example

The MV installation illustrated above is fed from two incomers. To limit the substation fault level the busbar is run
with CB3 open. When a fault occurs on one of the incomers it is isolated by the circuit protection. To re-supply the
disconnected loads from the remaining incomer CB3 is closed.
If the line fault occurs on incomer 1 it must be confirmed that CB 1 has opened before CB3 can be closed. The
relay on incomer 1 confirms that a trip has been issued to CB1 (e.g. Binary Output 2), that CB 1 has opened (e.g.
Binary Input 1) and that no current flows in the circuit (e.g. 37-1 = Virtual 1):

The output from Incomer 1 (Binary Output 3) relay is input to the relay on CB 3 (Binary Input 1). A panel switch
may be used to enable the On-Load Change-over scheme (Binary Input 2). Before Closing CB3 a check may be
made that there is no voltage on busbar 1 (27/59-1 = Virtual 1). CB 3 is closed from Binary Output 3.

Section 4: Supervision Functions


4.1

Trip/Close Circuit Supervision (74T/CCS)

Binary Inputs may be used to monitor the integrity of the CB trip and close circuit wiring. A small current flows
through the B.I. and the circuit. This current operates the B.I. confirming the integrity of the auxiliary supply, CB
coil, auxiliary switch, C.B. secondary isolating contacts and associated wiring. If monitoring current flow ceases
the B.I. drops off and if it is user programmed to operate one of the output relays, this can provide a remote alarm.
In addition, an LED on the relay can be programmed to operate. A user text label can be used to define the
operated LED e.g. Trip CCT Fail.
The relevant Binary Input is mapped to 74TCS-n or 74CCS in the INPUT CONFIG>INPUT MATRIX menu. To
avoid giving spurious alarm messages while the circuit breaker is operating the input is given a 0.4s Drop-off
Delay in the INPUT CONFIG>BINARY INPUT CONFIG menu.
To provide an alarm output a normally open binary output is mapped to 74TCS-n or 74CCS-n.

4.1.1

Trip Circuit Supervision Connections

The following circuits are derived from UK ENA S15 standard schemes H5, H6 and H7.
For compliance with this standard:
Where more than one device is used to trip the CB then connections should be looped between the
tripping contacts. To ensure that all wiring is monitored the binary input must be at the end of the looped
wiring.

Resistors must be continuously rated and where possible should be of wire-wound construction.
Scheme 1 (Basic)

Circuit-Breaker Maintenance

The Relay provides Total, Delta and Frequent CB Operation Counters along with an I2t Counter to estimate the
amount of wear and tear experienced by a Circuit-Breaker. Alarm can be provided once set levels have been
exceeded.
Typically estimates obtained from previous circuit-breaker maintenance schedules or manufacturers data sheets
are used for setting these alarm levels. The relay instrumentation provides the current values of these counters.

Section 5: Common Functions


5.1

Binary Inputs

Each Binary Input (BI) can be programmed to operate one or more of the relay functions, LEDs or output relays.
These could be used to bring such digital signals as Inhibits for protection elements, the trip circuit supervision
status, plant status signals etc. into the Relay.

5.1.1

Alarm and Tripping Inputs

A common use of binary inputs is to provide indication of alarm or fault conditions e.g. transformer Buchholz Gas
or Buchholz Surge conditions. The Binary Inputs are mapped to LED(s), waveform storage trigger and binary
outputs. Note that transformer outputs which require high speed tripping, such as a Buchholz Surge, should be
wired to a binary input to provide LED indication and also have a parallel connection wired to directly trip the
circuit via a blocking diode.

Figure 5.1-1 Example of Transformer Alarm and Trip Wiring

Chapter 7) 7SR158 Applications Guide

5.1.2

The Effects of Capacitance Current

The binary inputs have a low minimum operate current and may be set for instantaneous operation. Consideration
should be given to the likelihood of mal-operation due to capacitance current. Capacitance current can flow
through the BI for example if an earth fault occurs on the dc circuits associated with the relay. The binary inputs
will be less likely to mal-operate if they:
1

Have both the positive and negative switched (double-pole switched).

Do not have extensive external wiring associated with them e.g. if the wiring is confined to the
relay room.

Where a binary input is both used to influence a control function (e.g. provide a tripping function) and it is
considered to be susceptible to mal-operation the external circuitry can be modified to provide immunity to such
disturbances, see figure 1.2-2.

5.1.3

AC Rejection

The default pick-up time delay of 20ms provides immunity to ac current for dc applications e.g. induced from cross
site wiring.
Binary inputs can be configured for intentional operation from an ac power supply by setting pickup and drop-off
timers for each binary input; 0ms PU and 25ms DO. If wiring to AC operate binary inputs is required to have a
total length of more than 10 metres, screened twisted pair cable should be used.
If additional pickup or drop-off time delays are required by the scheme logic, this functionality can be achieved by
programmable logic within the device.

Example.
An AC operated Binary input is required to inhibit the 27/59-1 protection element with 100ms minimum pickup
delay and 200ms minimum drop-off delay.

5.1.4

Use of Binary Inputs in control and tripping circuits

Where a binary input is used to as part of a dc control function, for example tripping or closing a circuit breaker, it
may be desirable to provide an enhanced level of immunity to prevent maloperation due to induced voltages.
This is most important where cross-site cabling is involved, as this is susceptible to induced voltages and will
contribute to capacitive discharge currents under DC system earth fault conditions.
One method of enhancing the immunity of the binary input is to switch both positive and negative connections;
however this is often not possible or desirable.
Where the battery voltage allows its use, the 88V binary input will give an added measure of immunity, compared
to the 19V binary input, due to its higher minimum pickup voltage.
As a guide to suitable degrees of enhanced immunity, we have adopted the parameters laid down in U.K.
standard EATS 48-4. This standard identifies two levels of immunity:
Category ESI 1 may be adopted for connections which do not include significant wiring runs or cabling
outside the relay enclosure.
Category ESI 2 should be used for connections which include significant wiring runs or cabling outside
the relay enclosure. This category also gives immunity to capacitive discharge currents.

The following diagrams show the external resistors which should be fitted to allow the binary input to comply with
either of the above categories.
Fitting these components will raise the current required to operate the binary input, and hence makes it less
susceptible to maloperation.
Where required, the minimum pickup delay for the binary input is stated on the diagram.

5.2

Binary Outputs

Binary Outputs are mapped to output functions by means of settings. These could be used to bring out such
digital signals as trips, a general pick-up, plant control signals etc.
All Binary Outputs are Trip rated
Each can be defined as Self or Hand Reset. Self-reset contacts are applicable to most protection applications.
Hand-reset contacts are used where the output must remain active until the user expressly clears it e.g. in a
control scheme where the output must remain active until some external feature has correctly processed it.
Notes on Self Reset Outputs:
With a failed breaker condition the relay may remain operated until current flow in the primary system is
interrupted by an upstream device. The relay will then reset and attempt to interrupt trip coil current
flowing through an output contact. Where this level is above the break rating of the output contact an
auxiliary relay with heavy-duty contacts should be utilised.

LEDS

In the Output Configuration menu LEDs can be mapped to output functions by means of settings. These could be
used to display such digital signals as trips, a general pick-up, plant control signals etc.
Each LED can be defined as Self or Hand Reset. Hand reset LEDs are used where the user is required to
expressly acknowledge the change in status e.g. critical operations such as trips or system failures. Self-reset
LEDs are used to display features which routinely change state, such as Circuit-Breaker open or close.
The status of hand reset LEDs is retained in capacitor-backed memory in the event of supply loss.
Each LED can be assigned as red, yellow or green in colour. There are two methods for doing this: 1)

In the LED Matrix tab, to assign the LED as a red colour select a box on the red row. To assign the
LED as a green colour select a box on the green row. To assign the LED as a yellow colour, select
boxes on both the red and green rows.
NB: If there are no boxes selected the LED will not illuminate.

In the OUTPUT CONFIG\LED CONFIG menu in the Settings tab, to assign the required LED as a
particular colour, either red or green, type the LED number in the appropriate row. To assign the
required LED as a yellow colour, type the LED number in both red and green rows.
NB: If a LED number is not assigned that particular LED will not illuminate.
