1.2 Application
This document specifies the functions of the directional overcurrent function blocks
DOC6Low, DOC6High and DOC6Inst used in products based on the RED 500
Platform. The operation of the low-set stage differs from that of the high-set and
instantaneous stages regarding the following two features:
• the non-directional operation is only included in the high-set and instantaneous

stages
• the IDMT type of operation is only inluded in the low-set stage
The directional overcurrent function blocks are designed for directional single-phase,
two-phase and three-phase overcurrent and short-circuit protection whenever the DT
characteristic or, as concerns DOC6Low, the IDMT (Inverse Definite Minimum
Time) characteristic is appropriate. Suppression of harmonics is possible.

2. Description of Operation
2.1 Configuration
Phase currents can be measured with conventional current transformers or Rogowski

coils. The measuring devices and signal types for analogue channels are selected and
configured in a special dialogue box of the Relay Configuration Tool included in the
CAP 505 Tool Box. Digital inputs are configured in the same programming
environment (the number of selectable analogue inputs, digital inputs and digital
outputs depends on the hardware variant used).
When the analogue channels and digital inputs have been selected and configured in
the dialogue box, the inputs and outputs of the function block can be configured on a
graphic worksheet of the configuration tool. The phase currents IL1, IL2 and IL3 are
connected to the IL1, IL2 and IL3 inputs and the phase-to-phase voltages U12, U23 and
U31 correspondingly to the U12, U23 and U31 inputs of the function block. If phase-
to-earth voltages are used, they are connected to the inputs as follows: U1 to input
U12, U2 to input U23 and U3 to input U31. Furthermore, digital inputs are connected
to the boolean inputs of the function block, and in the same way, the outputs of the
function block are connected to the output signals.
2.2 Measuring mode
The function block operates on two alternative measuring principles: the average
value of consecutive instantaneous peak-to-peak values or the numerically calculated
fundamental frequency component of the short-circuit current. The measuring mode is
selected via either an MMI parameter or a serial communication parameter as follows:
Measuring mode Voltage types connected Current measuring principle

= Mode 1 Phase-to-phase voltages Peak-to-peak
= Mode 2 Phase-to-phase voltages Fundamental frequency
= Mode 3 Phase-to-earth voltages Peak-to-peak
= Mode 4 Phase-to-earth voltages Fundamental frequency
Voltages are always measured using the numerically calculated fundamental

frequency component. When phase-to-earth voltages are connected, the phase-to-
phase voltages are numerically derived from phase-to-earth voltages within the
function block.
With both the measuring principles, the operation is insensitive to the DC component
and the operation accuracy is defined in the frequency range f/fn=0.95...1.05. In peak-
to-peak measurement, the harmonics of the phase currents are not suppressed,
whereas in fundamental frequency measurement the harmonics suppression is about
-50 dB at f = n x fn, where n = 2, 3, 4, 5,...
7
2.3 Operation criteria
The function block starts if the current flows in the set operating direction and
exceeds the set start current in two or more phases or, if earth-fault protection is
enabled, in one or more phases. The set start current is automatically doubled when
the signal connected to the DOUBLE input becomes active. The automatic doubling
function can be used e.g. during a magnetizing inrush or at start-up.
)LJXUH )XQFWLRQRIWKH'28%/(LQSXW
When the function block starts, the START signal is set to TRUE. Should the
directional overcurrent situation exceed the set definite operate time or, at the inverse-
time operation, the time determined by the level of the measured current, the function
block operates. The delay of the heavy-duty output relay is included in the total
operate time. When the function block operates, the TRIP signal is set to TRUE.
The DT or IDMT timer is allowed to run only if the blocking signal BS1 is not active,
i.e. its value is FALSE. When the signal becomes active, i.e. its value turns to TRUE,
the timer will be stopped (frozen).
When the blocking signal BS2 is active, the TRIP signal cannot be activated. The
TRIP signal can be blocked by activating the signal BS2 until the function block
drops off.
2.3.1 Current direction
The operating direction can be set to either “forward” or “reverse” via the setting
parameter “Oper. Direction”. The default configuration direction is “forward”, i.e. the
power flow direction is away from the busbar, when the voltage and current
transformer connections are as drawn in the figure below. The function block will
operate on fault currents flowing in the set direction only.

In case of a two-phase short circuit, the direction of the current is determined using
the phase-to-phase voltage and the phase-to-phase current of the two faulty phases.
Phase-to-phase currents are numerically derived from the measured phase currents. If
phase-to-earth voltages are connected, phase-to-phase voltages are numerically
derived from the measured phase-to-earth voltages. Which currents and voltages are
used depends on between which phases the short circuit is, as shown below:
Overcurrent detected in phases: Current and voltage used to

determine the direction:
L1 L2 L3
x x U12 and ( IL1-IL2 )
Current is flowing in the set operating direction when the phase difference ϕ is within
the defined operating sector. The phase difference ϕ is the difference between the
phase-to-phase current and the set basic angle ϕb which is given in relation to the
phase-to-phase voltage and set via the parameter “Basic angle ϕb”. How the phase
difference ϕ is calculated depends on between which phases the short circuit is, as
shown below:
9
Overcurrent detected in phases: Phase difference used to determine

the direction:
L1 L2 L3
x x ϕ12 = ϕ(U12) + ϕb - ϕ(IL1-IL2)
x x ϕ23 = ϕ(U23) + ϕb - ϕ(IL2-IL3)
x x ϕ31 = ϕ(U31) + ϕb - ϕ(IL3-IL1)
x x x ϕ12, ϕ23 and ϕ31
In case of a three-phase short circuit i.e. when an overcurrent is detected in all three
phases, the function block will operate if at least one of the phase differences ϕ12, ϕ23
and ϕ31 is within the operating sector.
The operating sector for forward operation is within +/ -80° from the basic angle ϕb
and the one for reverse operation correspondingly the sector outside +/ -100° from ϕb,
as shown in Figure 5. The operating sector includes a hysteresis of 10°, which means
that when the operating direction is set to forward and the phase difference ϕ is within
the operating sector of +/-80°, the sector will be enlarged to +/-90°. When ϕ is outside
the operating sector, the size of the sector will remain as +/-80°. Correspondingly, the
operating sector for reverse operation is enlarged to the sector outside +/-90° when
the phase difference ϕ is within the operating sector.
)LJXUH 'HWHUPLQDWLRQRIFXUUHQWGLUHFWLRQLQDWZRSKDVHVKRUWFLUFXLWVLWXDWLRQ
Figure 5 shows an example of a short circuit between the phases L1 and L2. Here the
fault current is flowing in forward direction since the phase difference ϕ12 is +30°,
which is within the forward direction operating sector.
The use of earth-fault protection is optional, which means that when the setting
parameter “Earth fault pr.” is given the value “Disabled”, the function block operates
on short circuits only, and when the parameter is set to “Enabled”, the function block
operates on both short circuits and earth faults.
10
The principle for determining the current direction in case of an earth fault depends
on whether phase-to-phase voltages or phase-to-earth voltages are connected to the
function block. When phase-to-earth voltages are connected, the direction of the
current is determined using the phase-to-earth voltage and the phase current of the
faulty phase. Which phase difference is used depends on in which phase the earth
fault is, as shown below:
Overcurrent detected in phase: Phase difference used to determine

the direction:
L1 L2 L3
x ϕ1 = ϕ(U1) + ϕb - ϕ(IL1)
x ϕ2 = ϕ(U2) + ϕb - ϕ(IL2)
x ϕ3 = ϕ(U3) + ϕb - ϕ(IL3)
The operating sector is defined in relation to the basic angle ϕb, which is given in
relation to the phase-to-earth voltage. As for the short circuit case the operating sector
for forward operation is within +/-80° from the basic angle ϕb and the one for reverse
operation the sector outside +/-100° from ϕb, both with the hysteresis of 10°.

WRHDUWKYROWDJHVDUHPHDVXUHG
Figure 6 shows an example of an earth fault in phase L1. Here the phase difference ϕ1
is +30°, which means that the current is flowing in forward direction.
When phase-to-phase voltages are connected to the function block, the current
direction in an earth-fault situation is determined using the same phase differences as
in a short circuit situation. Which phase difference is used depends on in which phase
the earth fault is, as shown below:
11
Overcurrent detected in phase: Phase difference used to determine

the direction:
L1 L2 L3
x ϕ12 = ϕ(U12) + ϕb - ϕ(IL1-IL2)
x ϕ23 = ϕ(U23) + ϕb - ϕ(IL2-IL3)
x ϕ31 = ϕ(U31) + ϕb - ϕ(IL3-IL1)
The operation sectors in this case are the same as in the short circuit case.
2.3.2 Memory function
The function block is provided with a memory function to secure a reliable and
correct directional relay operation in case of a close short circuit or an earth fault
characterized by an extremely low voltage. At sudden loss of voltage, the phase angle
of the voltage is calculated on the basis of a fictive voltage. The fictive voltage is
calculated using the voltage measured before the fault occured, assuming that the
voltage is not affected by the fault. The memory function enables the function block
to operate up to 2 seconds after a total loss of voltage.
When the voltage falls below 0.07 x Un at a close fault, the fictive voltage will be
used to determine the phase angle. The measured voltage is applied again as soon as
the voltage rises above 0.08 x Un. The fictive voltage is also discarded if the measured
voltage stays below 0.08 x Un for more than 2 seconds or if the fault current
disappears while the fictive voltage is in use.
When the voltage is below 0.08 x Un and the fictive voltage either cannot be used
because the phase angle could not be reliably measured before the fault situation or
has already been used for 2 seconds, the current direction cannot be determined and
the function block will not operate.
2.3.3 Non-directional operation of DOC6High and DOC6Inst
The high-set or instantaneous stage can be set to operate non-directionally in

situations where the current direction cannot be determined, i.e. when the voltage is
below 0.08 x Un and the fictive voltage cannot be used. This feature is enabled when
the setting parameter “Nondir. operat.” is set to “Enabled”. When the parameter is
given the value “Disabled”, the function block will operate non-directionally only in
an inrush situation as described below.
The function block will always operate non-directionally in an inrush situation where
a circuit breaker is closed against a close fault and the current direction cannot be
reliably measured, i.e. voltage does not rise above 0.08 x Un. The state of the setting
parameter “Nondir. operat.” does not affect this feature.
12
2.3.4 DIRECTION output
The DIRECTION output is set to TRUE when any current is flowing in the set
operating direction, which means that any of the used phase differences is inside the
operating sector. In all other situations the output is set to FALSE.
2.4 Delayed reset facility and drop-off time in DT mode
The purpose of the delayed reset function is to enable fast clearance of intermittent
faults, e.g. self-sealing insulation faults, and severe faults that may produce high
asymmetrical fault currents that partially saturate the current transformers. It is typical
for an intermittent fault that the fault current contains so-called drop-off periods
during which the fault current is below the set start current. Without the delayed reset
function the DT timer would reset once the current drops off. In the same way, an
apparent drop-off period of the secondary current of the saturated current transformer
might cause the DT timer to reset. The adjustable delayed reset function also enables
closer co-ordination with electromechanical induction disc relays.
When the DT timer has started, it goes on running normally even if the current drops
off, provided the drop-off period is shorter than the set drop-off time. If the drop-off
period is longer than the set drop-off time, the DT timer will reset when the drop-off
time elapses (Figure 7).
In Figures 7 and 8 the input signal IN of the DT timer is TRUE when the current is
above the set start value and FALSE when the current is below the set start value.

If the drop-off period is shorter than the set drop-off time and the DT timer time has

2.5 IDMT type operation of DOC6Low
At the inverse-time mode of the low-set stage the operate time of the function block is
a function of the current; the higher the current, the shorter is the operate time. Six
time/current curve groups are available. Four of the groups comply with the BS 142
and IEC 60255 standards, whereas the two curve groups RI and RD (RXIDG) are
special type of curve groups corresponding to the ABB praxis. The desired operate
time characteristic is selected via the parameter “Operation mode”.
The shortest operate time at the inverse-time operation is limited by a special

adjustable minimum time. The definite minimum time will not allow operate times
shorter than the set minimum time, which is why the inverse-time mode is called the
IDMT mode (Inverse Definite Minimum Time).
2.5.1 Standard curve groups
The four internationally standardized inverse-time characteristics incorporated in the

inverse-time operation of the function are:
• normal inverse (NI)

• very inverse (VI)
• extremely inverse (EI)
• long-time inverse (LI)
(For a graphical presentation of the curves, refer to the manual “Technical
Descriptions of Functions, Introduction”.)
14
The relationship between time and current is in accordance with the standard IEC
60255 and can be expressed as follows
kxβ
t[s] =
I α
( ) −1
I>
where
• t = operate time in seconds

• k = adjustable time multiplier
• I = phase current
• I> = adjustable start current
The values of the constants a and b determine the slope as follows
Inverse-time α β
characteristic
Normal inverse 0.02 0.14
Very inverse 1.0 13.5
Extremely inverse 2.0 80.0
Long-time inverse 1.0 120
According to the standard BS 142: 1966 the effective current range is defined as
2...20 times the set start current. If the time/current characteristic is normal inverse,
very inverse, or extremely inverse, the function has to start at the latest when the
current exceeds the set start current 1.3 times. For the long-time inverse characteristic
the effective current range is specified to be 2...7 times the set start current and the
relay is to start at the latest when the current exceeds the setting value 1.1 times. The
three-phase directional overcurrent function block DOC6Low will start and the IDMT
integration will begin once the current exceeds the set start value and the phase angle
criteria is fulfilled.
The operate time tolerances specified by the standard BS 142 : 1966 are the following
(E denotes the accuracy in per cent):
I/I > Normal Very Extremely Long time

2 2.22E 2.34E 2.44E 2.34E
5 1.13E 1.26E 1.48E 1.26E
7 - - - 1.00E
10 1.01E 1.01E 1.02E -
20 1.00E 1.00E 1.00E -
15
The tolerance factors have to be smaller than those defined by the standard BS 142:
1966 for currents of 2 and 5 times the setting. The function block DOC6Low
complies with the tolerances of class 5 (E = 5.0%) for all inverse-time curves.
For example:
I/I>= 10, characteristic = Normal

Operate time tolerance = 1.01 x 5.0% = 5.05%
2.5.2 RI curve groups
The RI-type inverse-time characteristic is a special characteristic mainly used to

obtain time grading with mechanical relays. The characteristic can be expressed as
follows:
k
t s =
I>
0. 339 − 0. 236 x
I
2.5.3 RD curve groups
The RD-type characteristic is a special characteristic mainly used in earth-fault

protection where a high degree of selectivity is required also at high-resistance faults.
Mathematically, the characteristic can be expressed as follows:
I
t[s] = 5. 8 -1. 35 x ln
k x I>
The accuracy of the RI- and RD-type characteristics is 5%. Also with the RI- and RD-
type characteristics, the function block will start and the IDMT integration will begin
once the current exceeds the set start current.
16
2.6 Setting groups
Two different groups of setting values, group 1 and group 2, are available for the
function block. Switching between the two groups can be done in the following three
ways:
1 Locally via the control parameter “Group selection”1) of the MMI

2 Over the communication bus by writing the parameter V31)
3 By means of the input signal GROUP when allowed via the parameter “Group
selection” (i.e. when V3 = 21)).
1)
Group selection (V3): 0 = Group 1; 1 = Group 2; 2 = GROUP input
The control parameter “Active group” indicates the setting group valid at a given
time.
2.7 Test mode
The digital outputs of the function block can be activated with separate control
parameters for each output either locally via the MMI or externally via the serial
communication. When an output is activated with the test parameter, an event
indicating the test is generated.
The protection functions operate normally while the outputs are tested.
2.8 START, TRIP and CBFP outputs
The output signal START is always pulse-shaped. The minimum pulse width of the
corresponding output signal is set via a separate parameter on the MMI or via serial
communication. If the start situation is longer than the set pulse width, the START
signal remains active until the start situation is over. The output signal TRIP may
have a non-latching or latching feature. When the latching mode has been selected,
the TRIP signal remains active until the output is reset even if the operation criteria
have reset.
The outputs STATUS_IL1, STATUS_IL2 and STATUS_IL3 indicate the present

status of each phase. The outputs remain active as long as the start situation of the
corresponding phase is on. Latching feature is not available.
The function block provides a delayed trip signal CBFP after the TRIP signal unless
the fault has disappeared during the set CBFP time delay. In circuit-breaker failure
protection, the CBFP output can be used to operate a circuit breaker in front of the
circuit breaker of the feeder. The control parameter “Trip pulse” also sets the width of
the CBFP output signal.
17
2.9 Resetting
The TRIP output signal and the registers can be reset either via the RESET input, or
over the serial bus or the local MMI.
The operation indicators, latched trip signal and recorded data can be reset as follows:

3. Parameters and Events
3.1 General
• Each function block has a specific channel number for serial communication
parameters and events. The channel for DOC6Low is 35, that for DOC6High 36
and that for DOC6Inst 37.
• The data direction of the parameters defines the use of each parameter as follows:
Data direction Description
R, R/M Read only
W Write only
R/W Read and write
• The different event mask parameters (see section “Control settings”) affect the
visibility of events on the MMI or on serial communication (LON or SPA) as
follows:
Event mask 1 (FxxxV101/102) SPA / MMI (LON)
Event mask 2 (FxxxV103/104) LON
For example, if only the events E3, E4 and E5 are to be seen on the MMI of the
relay terminal, the event mask value 56 (8 + 16 + 32) is written to the “Event mask
1” parameter (FxxxV101).
In case a function block includes more than 32 events, there are two parameters
instead of e.g. the “Event mask 1” parameter: the parameter “Event mask 1A”

3.3.3 Recorded data
3.3.3.1 General
The information required for later fault analysis is recorded when the function block
starts or trips, or when the recording function is triggered via an external triggering
input.
The data of three last operations (operation 1...3) are recorded and the values of the
most recent operation always replace the data of the oldest operation. The registers
are updated in the following order: Operation 1, Operation 2, Operation 3, Operation
1, Operation 2,...
The recording function can be blocked via the BSREG input. For example, if an auto-
reclose sequence is initiated by the trip signal of the function block, the values most
reliable for later fault analysis are those recorded just before Shot 1. When the auto-
reclose sequence has started, no recordings are needed at the moment of tripping. The
output signal ACTIVE in AR5Func indicating AR in progress is connected to the
BSREG input to prevent useless recording.
26
3.3.3.2 Date and time
The time stamp indicates the rising edge of the START, TRIP or TRIGG signal.
3.3.3.3 Duration
At the DT mode of operation the duration of the start situation is recorded as a

percentage of the set operate time and at the IDMT mode of operation as a percentage
of the calculated operate time.
3.3.3.4 Currents, voltages and phase angles
If the function block trips, the measured current, voltage and phase difference values
are updated at the moment of tripping i.e. on the rising edge of the TRIP signal. For
external triggering, the measured values are updated at the moment of triggering i.e.
on the rising edge of the input signal TRIGG. If the function block starts but does not
trip, the values captured one fundamental cycle (20 ms at rated frequency 50 Hz) after
the beginning of the start situation are recorded. Thus the values of the currents,
voltages and phase differences always originate from the same moment.
The currents are recorded as multiples of the rated current In and the voltages as
multiples of the rated voltage Un. The phase differences are recorded in degrees.
3.3.3.5 Current direction for DOC6Low
The state of the DIRECTION signal of DOC6Low is recorded at the same moment as
currents and voltages are recorded.
3.3.3.6 Non-directional operation of DOC6High and DOC6Inst
If the function block DOC6High or DOC6Inst is operating non-directionally at the

moment of recording, the recorded parameter "Nondir. operat." has the value
"Active".
3.3.3.7 Status data
The status data of the input signals BS1, BS2 and DOUBLE (Active or Not active) as
well as the “Active group” parameter are recorded at the moment of triggering.
27
3.3.3.8 Priority
The priority of the recording function is the following:
1 Tripping
2 Starting
3 External triggering,
which means that if the function block has started, it will neglect an external
triggering request.
