2.7 Operator Interface


2.7.1 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 reactivate the display.
User-defined identifying text can be programmed into the relay by using the System config/Relay Identifier and
System config/Circuit Identifier setting. The ‘Identifier’ texts are displayed on the LCD display in two lines at the
top level of the menu structure. The ‘Relay Identifier’ is used in communication with Reydisp to identify the relay.
By pressing the Cancel button several times will return the user to this screen.

Figure 2-6 Close up of Relay Identifier

2.7.2 LCD Indication

General Alarms are user defined text messages displayed on the LCD when mapped to binary inputs 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 are raised when a fault trigger is generated and will be logged into the Fault Data record.

2.7.3 Standard Keys


The relay is supplied as standard with five push buttons. The buttons are used to navigate the menu structure and
control the relay functions. They are labelled:

▲ Increases a setting or moves up menu.

©2023 Siemens Protection Devices Chapter 1 Page 15 of 57


7SR105 Rho Description of Operation

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

2.7.4 Protection Healthy LED


This green LED is steadily illuminated to indicate that auxiliary 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 the LED will
continuously flash.

2.7.5 Indication LEDs


Relays have 9 user programmable LED indicators. Each LED can be programmed to be illuminated as either
green, orange, 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. LED’s can be assigned to the pickup 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 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 programmed as hand reset or self reset. Hand reset LEDs can be reset either by 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
supply voltage.

2.8 Current Inputs


Four current inputs are provided on the Analogue Input module. Terminals are available for both 1 A and 5 A
inputs.
The current input is incorporated within the relay and is used for phase fault and earth fault protection.
Current is sampled at 1600 Hz for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz system frequencies. Protection and monitoring functions
of the relay use either the Fundamental Frequency RMS or the True RMS value of current appropriate to the
individual function.
The waveform recorder samples and displays current input waveforms at 1600 Hz.
The primary CT ratio used for the relay instruments can be set in the CT/VT configuration menu.

7SR105 Rho Description of Operation

2.9 Binary Inputs


The binary inputs are opto-couplers operated from a suitably rated power supply.
Relays are fitted with 6 binary inputs (BI) depending on the variant. 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 20 ms 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 and DO time
delay.
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.

Figure 2-8 Binary Input Logic

2.10 Binary Outputs (Output Relays)


Relays are fitted with 6 binary outputs (BO). 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 s. If required, the 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.
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.
Notes on Pulsed Outputs
When operated, the output will reset after a user configurable time of up to 60 s regardless of the initiating
condition.

7SR105 Rho Description of Operation

Notes on Self Reset Outputs


Self reset operation has a minimum reset time of 100 ms.
With a failed breaker condition, the relay may remain operated until current flow is interrupted by an upstream
device. When the current is removed, the relay will then reset and attempt to interrupt trip coil current flowing via
its output contact. When this current level is above the break rating of the output contact, an auxiliary relay with
heavy-duty contacts should be utilised in the primary system to avoid damage to the relay.
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.
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.

2.11 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, and equations 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, and alarms
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.

7SR105 Rho Description of Operation

Motor resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) can be connected via temperature inputs. Up to six RTD sensors
can be monitored. Provision to configure seven types of RTD inputs (for 3 wire configuration). Temperature
inputs can be configurable for RTD Alarm and Trip application.

2.12 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.

Figure 2-10 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 communications)
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 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 Count Target setting.
When the number of relay start-ups reaches the target value an output is raised, OUTPUT MATRIX > Start
Count Alarm, which can be programmed to any combination of binary outputs, LED’s or virtual outputs.
The following screen-shot show the events which are generated when the relay restarts. The highlighted events
show the cause of the re-start. The event which comes next shows the type of restart followed by the relay:
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 2-11 Unexpected Restarts Lockout Text

And enter a locked-up mode. In this mode the Relay will disable operation of all LED’s and Binary Outputs,
including Protection Healthy, all pushbuttons and any data communications.

©2023 Siemens Protection Devices Chapter 1 Page 20 of 57


7SR105 Rho Description of Operation

Once the Relay has failed in this manner, it is non-recoverable at site and must be returned to the manufacturer
for repair.

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.

2.12.1 Protection Healthy/Defective


When the relay has an auxiliary supply and it has successfully passed its self-checking procedure, then the front
fascia 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 supply is not applied to the
relay or a problem is detected within the relay then this output contact closes to provide external indication.

Section 3: Protection Functions

3.1 Thermal Protection


To prevent overheating of the motor thermal overload protection is used to remove the motor supply when a
nominated thermal state (θ) is reached.
The thermal overload function uses measured 3-phase true RMS current to estimate the thermal state of the
motor. The Thermal State (θ) is based on both past and present current levels. θ = 0% for unheated equipment,
and θ = 100% for maximum thermal state of equipment i.e. the trip threshold. For given current level, the Thermal
State will ramp up over time, dependent on the thermal time constant, until Thermal Equilibrium is reached when
Heating Effects of Current = Thermal Losses.

Figure 3.1-1 Thermal Overload Heating and Cooling Characteristic

The NPS component of unbalanced current has a greater heating effect on the motor than the PPS current
component. An NPS component can be included within an ‘equivalent thermal current’ (IEQ) used in the thermal
overload algorithm. The NPS weighting factor K can be used to increase overload protection sensitivity to NPS
current.
The thermal model accommodates both heating and cooling conditions with exponential curves as illustrated
below:

For the cooling curve: θ  θ F  e  or t   . ln

The time constant of the thermal protection is dependent on the operate state of the motor i.e. whether it is
starting, running or stopped. Three values of thermal time constant are used during the different states of motor
operation – see Table 3-1

Table 3-1 Application of Thermal Time Constants


Gn 49 TauH (mins) Heating Time Constant: Used during normal motor running conditions and overloads.
Gn 49 TauS (mins) Starting Time Constant: Multiple of heating time constant takes into consideration the
reduced cooling available when the motor is running up to full speed.
Gn 49 TauC (mins) Cooling Time Constant: Multiple of heating time constant takes into consideration the
reduced rate of cooling of a stopped motor.

The final steady state thermal condition can be predicted for any steady state value of input current: where t >>,
2
IEQ
θF   100%
Iθ2
The Hot/Cold ratio setting determines the percentage of thermal capacity available for a motor running at thermal
equilibrium compared to that available when the motor is cold.

The thermal model is modified under normal load conditions (i.e. when IEQ < I) by multiplying the predicted final
steady thermal state by (1-H/C). The hot curve is modified as below:
2
IEQ
θF   (1  H C )  100%
Iθ2
The hot to cold ratio (H/C) in the above “hot” equation is used to adapt the thermal model to incorporate the
thermal over design of motors to withstand start conditions rather than normal running conditions.
The thermal protection menu structure of the relay includes sub-menus for thermal overload, stall, start and phase
unbalance functions. Settings common to all of thermal functions are:
Gn 49 NPS Weighting: When set to Average the average true RMS current of the three phases is used
as IEQ. When set to Sequence Components the pps and nps current of the rated frequency are used to
calculate IEQ.
Gn 49 NPS Weighting Factor (K): Applied when above is set to Sequence Components.
Gn 49 Itheta Thermal Overload sets the overload pick up level (Iθ).
Gn 49 Motor Start Type sets the criteria for determining that the motor has started. Defined by:
%Itheta: Current above ‘Gn 49 Motor Start Current’, or
Operation of a binary input configured as ‘Start Motor I/P’ (requires CB open/closed monitoring
connections).
(Note that a motor running condition is recognised by the relay when current increases from the
‘motor stopped’ level to a ‘NOT motor stopped’ level. For a VFD motor the running condition will
be recognised where the start current is not appreciably greater than the running current.
Gn 49 Motor Start Current sets the current level over which the motor has deemed to have started.
Gn 49 End of Start selects whether this is determined by measured current level or from an energised
binary input set as ‘Motor Running’.
Gn 49 Motor Stop Current sets the current level under which the motor has deemed to have stopped.
Motor stop condition is detected on the basis IEQ current.
Gn 49 Motor Stop Type sets the criteria for determining that the motor has stopped. Defined by:
% Itheta: Current below ‘Gn 49 Motor Stop Current’ AND Gn 49 Motor Stop Delay
% Itheta + CB Open: Current below ‘Gn 49 Motor Stop Current’ AND ‘CB Open’ binary input
AND Gn 49 Motor Stop Delay.
% Itheta + No Accel: Current below ‘Gn 49 Motor Stop Current’ AND BI programmed to ‘No
Accel’ energised.

7SR105 Rho Description of Operation

3.1.1 Thermal Protection: Overload (49)

Where Gn 49 NPS Weighting setting is selected to ‘Average’ the thermal protection uses the average of the three
RMS phase currents.
Where Gn 49 NPS Weighting setting is selected to ‘Seq Comp’ the relay calculates the positive and negative
phase sequence components from the three phase currents. These are then used to generate an equivalent
thermal current IEQ which replaces the relay current in the IEC60255-8 operating characteristics. The equivalent
current is defined as follows:

IEQ  I12  KI22


Where K = Gn 49 NPS Weighting Factor setting.

Hot and Cold Operating Characteristics


When the thermal equivalent current is less than the thermal pickup level the relay uses the hot curve with which
to calculate the thermal capacity used. If the Thermal Equivalent current exceeds the thermal pickup setting, i.e.
when the motor is overloaded, then the relay reverts to cold curve.
‘Cold’ Operating Characteristic
In the 7SR105 Rho the 49 Overload setting (Iθ) replaces k.IB found in the expressions of the IEC255-8 standard
and the ‘Cold’ operating characteristic becomes:

 I2 
t    ln  2 2 
 I  I 
‘Hot’ Operating Characteristic
The time to trip is defined as:-

 I 2  I 2P 
t  τ  ln  2 2 
 I  Iθ 
Gn 49 Char (Thermal Characteristic)
The IEC thermal characteristic of the Rho conforms to IEC60255-8 (Thermal Electrical Relays).
A user definable thermal curve is available to allow matching of the relay thermal characteristic to all motor and
cooling system types.
‘Starting’ and ‘cooling’ constants modify the thermal heating time constant during motor run-up and stopped
conditions.

The thermal state may be reset from the fascia or externally via a binary input.
Thermal overload protection can be inhibited from:

Multiple of heating time constant takes into consideration the reduced cooling available during motor starting.

Gn 49 TauC Cooling Constant


Multiple of heating time constant takes into consideration the reduced rate of cooling of a stopped motor.

Gn 49 Hot/Cold Ratio
The hot/cold ratio setting determines the percentage of thermal capacity available for a motor running at full load
current compared to that available when the motor is cold. It modifies the IEC255-8 hot curve as below:

H 2
I2  (1  )IP

Where;
H/C = hot spot weighting factor = 49 Hot/Cold Ratio setting

A setting is available to switch this feature out of service, however this Hot/Cold ratio setting will normally be used
on all motors as it will assist with the accuracy of the thermal modelling. The hot curve is only operational when

7SR105 Rho Description of Operation

the equivalent thermal current calculated by the relay is less than the thermal pickup setting. Once the equivalent
thermal current exceeds the thermal pickup setting the relay operates on the Cold thermal curve.
The purpose of the H/C ratio is to allow for the fact most motors are designed thermally to withstand the onerous
starting conditions rather than the running conditions. This leads to the fact the motors will tend to run at a much
lower temperature than their insulation class allows when thermal equilibrium is reached.
The thermal algorithm uses ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ curves, it also uses alternate time constants during different phases of
motor operation, to summarise:

Figure 3.1-3 Application of Thermal Overload Time Constants

Gn 49 Capacity Alarm
An alarm can be given if the thermal state of the system exceeds a specified percentage of the protected
equipment’s thermal capacity setting. This can be used to warn the operator that a relay thermal trip will occur if
this level of motor current continues.

Gn 49 Load Alarm
An alarm is available to provide warning of a sudden increase in load. The Load Increase Alarm setting is set as
a multiple of the thermal overload setting I.

Gn 49 Overload Alarm
An instantaneous alarm output is given if the equivalent thermal current Ie exceeds the thermal overload setting I
whilst the motor is in it running state.

Gn 49 Restart Inhibit Mode


The restart inhibit feature can be assigned to an output contact which can be used to prevent the motor from
being started until sufficient thermal capacity is available. A normally closed contact can be connected in the
motor starting circuit, thus breaking the circuit when the restart inhibit feature registers thermal state available.
A user thermal capacity value can be used ( Gn 49 Thermal Restart Inhibit setting). Alternatively this can be set
‘Auto’ the relay then uses the value recorded from the previous start plus 15% safety margin.

Gn 49 Thermal Restart Mode


When ‘Restart Inhibit Mode’ is set to Auto then the motor restart can be inhibited until the relay determines that
sufficient time or capacity or capacity + time is available to allow the start.

Gn 49 Restore After Power Down


Where enabled the relay will indicate the thermal state prior to auxiliary supply removal when the auxiliary supply
is re-applied. When disabled the relay thermal state will be reset (0%) when the auxiliary supply is re-applied.

7SR105 Rho Description of Operation

3.1.2 Thermal Protection: Stall Protection (14)


Stall protection can be applied where the thermal characteristic does not offer sufficient protection against stalling
during running or during a locked rotor condition on starting.
Pick up is initiated when any phase current is above Gn 14-n Setting
Gn 14-n Delay is initiated when the measured current exceeds the Gn 14-n Setting

The time delayed overcurrent elements are enabled for the following ‘Control’ criteria:
Gn 14-n Control = None: Element operation begins when current exceeds Gn 14-n setting.
Gn 14-n Control = Stopped: When the relay has determined a motor stopped condition this control is
latched for the period where the current increases from Istopped for the time until the current falls below
the Gn 14-n setting level. Element operation begins when current exceeds Gn 14-n setting
Gn 14-n Control = No Accel: A tachometric ‘zero speed’ switch mounted on the rotor shaft can be used to
identify that the motor is not running up to speed. A relay binary input programmed to ‘No Accel’ can be
connected to this switch. Element operation begins when current exceeds Gn 14-n setting and the relay
has determined that the motor is not starting.
Gn 14-n Control = Running: Element operation begins when current exceeds Gn 14-n setting and the
relay has determined a motor running condition. See section 3.1.

This feature is used where plant or motor operational constraints are to be considered or to ensure that permitted
winding temperatures are not exceeded.
Gn 66 Max. Number of Starts setting allows the user to select the maximum permissible number of starts
Once the maximum permissible number of starts has occurred within the defined period then starting is
inhibited for the duration of the start inhibit delay setting.
Gn 66 Max. Starts Period setting is the minimum time interval within which the assigned number of starts
may occur (e.g. starts per hour for a notching or jogging device.
Gn 66 Start Inhibit Delay setting: Where the number of starts has been exceeded within the ‘max starts
period’ starting is inhibited until this time delay has elapsed.
Gn 66 Time Between Starts setting is provided to determine the minimum permissible time between two
consecutive starts.
Gn 66 Restore After Power Down setting: Where enabled the number of motor starts recorded to the
relay powering down is restored when the relay is powered up again.
A restart is inhibited by the same output contact used for the thermal restart inhibit feature. The restart inhibit
output is only energised after the motor has stopped (current falls below ISTOP) so that the start sequence in
progress is not interrupted.
A ‘Start Protection Reset’ command is available in the ‘Maintenance Menu’ which allows the user to reset both the
Number of Starts and the Minimum Time Between Starts features.

51N-1, 51N-2
51N-n Setting sets the pick-up current level.
A number of shaped characteristics are provided. An inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) characteristic is
selected from IEC and ANSI curves using 51N-n Char. A time multiplier is applied to the characteristic curves
using the 51N-n Time Mult setting. Alternatively, a definite time lag delay (DTL) can be chosen using 51N-n
Char. When definite time lag (DTL) is selected, the time multiplier is not applied and the 51N-n Delay (DTL)
setting is used instead.
The 51N-n Reset setting can apply a definite time delayed reset, or when configured as an IEC or ANSI if the
reset is selected as IEC/ANSI (DECAYING) reset the associated reset curve will be used. The reset mode is
significant where the characteristic has reset before issuing a trip output.
A minimum operate time for the characteristic can be set using the 51N-n Min. Operate Time setting.
A fixed additional operate time can be added to the characteristic using the 51N-n Follower DTL setting.
Operation of the time delayed earth fault elements can be inhibited from:
Inhibit 51N-n A binary or virtual input.

3.5 Current Protection: Measured Earth Fault (50G, 51G)


The earth current is measured directly via a dedicated current analogue input, IL4.
All measured earth fault elements have a common setting to measure either the fundamental frequency RMS or
True RMS current:
True RMS current: 51G/50G Measurement = RMS
Fundamental Frequency RMS current: 51G/50G Measurement = Fundamental

3.5.1 Instantaneous Measured Earth Fault Protection (50G)


Two instantaneous measured earth fault elements are provided in the 7SR105 Rho Motor Protection Relay.
50G-1, 50G-2
Each instantaneous element has independent settings for pick-up current 50G-n Setting and a follower time
delay 50G-n Delay. The instantaneous elements have transient free operation.
Operation of the instantaneous measured earth fault elements can be inhibited from:
Inhibit 50G-n A binary or virtual input.

Section 4: Supervision Functions

4.1 Break Capacity Limit (50BCL)


An MCCB motor trip or contactor release should not be attempted if the short circuit current exceeds the set
Breaking Capacity Limit. The Breaking Capacity Limit setting is provided to prevent the current interrupting
capability of the primary switching device being exceeded.
The true RMS current of each phase is measured. If any phase current exceeds the Breaking Capacity Setting
then the operation of all output contacts assigned to ‘General Trip’ are blocked. When this break capacity limit
functionality is required all associated high current trips must be assigned in this way.
50BCL is a high speed element, it’s instantaneous operation can be used to interrupt protections assigned as a
general trip (OUTPUT CONFIG > OUTPUT MATRIX > General Trip). All contacts assigned as ‘Gn **** Trips’ in
the OUTPUT CONFIG > TRIP CONFIG menu (Thermal, P/F, E/F, Misc) are General Trips. A settings example is
provided for clarification – see Chapter 7 ‘Applications Guide’.
The ‘50BCL’ output can be used to trip an upstream CB. CB fail protection initiation can be selected by the user.
Gn 50BCL Setting sets the pick-up current level for the element.
50BCL Block Tripping is enabled where contacts assigned as a ‘General Trip’ are to be blocked for currents
above Gn 50BCL Setting.
50BCL Initiate CBFail is enabled where it is required to start CB Fail for currents above Gn 50BCL Setting.

4.2 Anti-Backspin (81B)


Anti-backspin is used to inhibit restarting of the motor until after the rotor has completely stopped. The function
must be used in conjunction with an auxiliary switch of the motor control device which is used to indicate the open
status of the motor controller.
Anti-Backspin - Time Delay Method
When the CB is opened the ‘Anti Backspin’ DTL is started. CB closing is not allowed until the Anti-Backspin DTL
has elapsed.
Anti-Backspin – Tachometer Method
A tachometer signal that provides an output when the motor is stopped can be connected to binary input
programmed to ‘No Accel’. CB closing is not allowed until the motor has stopped.

4.3 Phase Reversal (46 PH REV)


Gn 46 PH REV Setting is the ratio of NPS:PPS current. A high value indicates incorrect current phase rotation.
This can be used to prevent inadvertent reverse operation of the motor.
Gn 46 PH REV Setting sets the NPS:PPS current percentage pick-up.
An output is given after elapse of the Gn 46 PH REV Delay setting.
Operation of the phase reversal elements can be inhibited from:

4.4 Trip Circuit Supervision (74TCS)


The relay provides three Trip Circuit Supervision elements.
One or more binary inputs can be mapped to Gn 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 Gn 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 – see ‘Applications Guide’.

4.6 Circuit Breaker Failure (50BF)


The circuit breaker fail function has two time delayed outputs that can be used for combinations of re-tripping or
back-tripping. CB Fail outputs are given after elapse of the 50BF-1 Delay or 50BF-2 Delay settings.
The circuit breaker fail protection time delays are initiated either from:
An output Trip Contact of the relay (MENU: OUTPUT CONFIG\BINARY OUTPUT MATRIX\Trip
Contacts), or
A binary input configured 50BF Ext Trip (MENU: INPUT CONFIG\BINARY INPUT MATRIX\50BF Ext
Trip).
CB Fail outputs will be issued providing any of the 3 phase currents are above the 50BF Setting for longer than
the 50BF-n Delay setting – indicating that the fault has not been cleared.
Both 50BF-1 and 50BF-2 can be mapped to any output contact or LED.
Operation of the CB Fail elements can be inhibited from:
Inhibit 50BF A binary or virtual input.

4.7 Temperature Inputs (TEMP)

Temperature inputs (Six RTDs) can be selected from the following types:

 Pt100
 Pt250
 Pt1000
 Ni100
 Ni120
 Ni250
 Cu10
Each monitored input can be independently programmed to provide alarm and trip thresholds giving
instantaneous outputs. Outputs can be assigned to each of the temperature inputs. The value returned by each
temperature input can be displayed.

Temperature Input n Enable setting


Up to Six Temperature Inputs (RTD) can be monitored.

Temp Input n Alarm setting


An alarm output is available where the measured temperature exceeds the alarm setting.

Temp Input n Trip setting


A trip output is available where the measured temperature exceeds the trip setting.

Temp Input n Gating setting


Further security is provided by allowing each temperature input to be AND gated with other input(s). If this feature
is selected then no trip will be issued unless all gated inputs detect temperature above the trip setting. The
temperature input alarm outputs are not gated.

Temp Input Fail Protection


Each active temperature input can be internally monitored for short circuit, open circuit failure and out of limit. A
temperature input fail alarm output is generated by a failure condition and the failed input is identified in
the Instruments Menu. No trip or alarm output is given by a failed input.

Temp Input Scaling factor


Each Temperature input can be multiplied by different scaling factors. The scaling factor is applied in the
temperature input values and the Temp Trip & Alarm functions will operate on the basis of scaled input. If the
scaling factor is less than 1, then the Maximum Trip and Alarm settings also will get reduced. (For example,for
scaling factor 0.5, the maximum Trip & Alarm settings will be 0.5 x 260°= 130°).

7SR105 Rho Description of Operation

Section 5: Control and Logic Functions


5.1 Motor Start/Stop
Settings are included for CB monitoring and CB control i.e. motor stop/start.
Motor start and stop commands can be initiated in one of three ways: via a binary input, via the data
communication Channel(s) or from the relay CONTROL MODE menu.

Gn 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.

Gn 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.

Gn Start Motor Delay


The Start Motor Delay is applicable to a motor start commands received through a Motor Start binary input or via
the Control Menu. The status of this delay is displayed on the relay fascia as it decrements towards zero. Only
when the delay reaches zero will the start motor command be issued and related functionality initiated.

Gn Blocked Start Delay


The Start Motor command may be delayed by a Block Start signal applied to a binary input. This restrains the
start motor output whilst energised. If the Block signal has not been removed before the end of the defined time,
Blocked Start Delay, the relay will abort the start operation.

Gn Stop Motor Delay


The Stop Motor Delay setting is applicable to stop motor commands received through a Stop Motor binary input
or via the Control Menu. Operation of the Stop Motor binary output is delayed by the Stop Motor 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 trip command be issued and related functionality initiated. Unlike a CB trip initiated by a
protection function a CB trip operation caused by a Motor Stop command will not initiate functionality such as
circuit-breaker fail, fault data storage, I2t measurement and operation counter.

Gn CB Controls Latched
CB/contactor control for motor start and stop can be latched for extra security.
When Reset operation is selected, the control resets when the binary input drops off. This can lead to multiple
control restarts due to bounce on the binary input signal. Reset operation allows a close or trip sequence to be
aborted by dropping off the binary input signal.
When Latch operation is selected, the close or trip sequence continues to completion and bounce on the binary
input is ignored.

Gn Start Motor Pulse


The duration of the Start Motor Pulse is settable to allow a range of control devices to be used. CB antipumping
is provided to prevent Start and Stop Command pulses existing simultaneously.
The ‘CB Fail to Close’ feature is used to confirm that the control device is open at the end of the Close Command.

Gn CB Travel Alarm
The CB Open/CB Closed binary inputs are continually monitored to track the motor control device Status.

CB is Open 1 0

CB is Closed 0 1

CB is Travelling between the above 2 states 0 0

The CB Alarm output is given where the Travelling condition exists for longer than the CB Travel Alarm setting.

same time.

Operation of the Emergency Start binary input resets thermal capacity, resets number of starts, bypasses the
backspin check, checks plant conditions and then operates the assigned binary output contact.

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, IEC 60870-5-103 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 IEC 60870-5-103.

6.1.1 Communication Ports

6.1.1.1 USB Interface


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 in the Reydisp connection window, connections to the USB port 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, otherwise the Com 2 port must be set to IEC60870-5-103 (the relay
address and baud rate do not need to be set).

NOTE:
To view the applicable settings in the relay, TURN ON the Setting relationship in Reydisp.

6.1.1.2 RS485 Interface


The 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. The relays are fitted with an internal
terminating resistor which can be connected between A and B by fitting an external wire loop between terminals
X2: TERM and X2: B terminals.
The maximum number of relays that can be connected to the bus is 64.
The following settings must be configured via the relay fascia when using the RS485 interface. The shaded
settings are only visible when DNP3.0 is selected.

6.2 CB Maintenance
6.2.1 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 LED’s 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.

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.

6.2.3 I2t CB Wear


An I2t counter is also included and this can provide an estimation of contact wear and maintenance requirements.
The algorithm works on a per phase basis, measuring the arcing current during faults. The I2t value at the time of
trip is added to the previously stored value and an alarm is given when any one of the three phase running counts
exceeds the set Alarm limit. The t value is the time between CB contacts separation when an arc is formed,
Separation Time, and the CB Clearance time.
The I2t value can also triggered and reset from a binary input or command.

7SR105 Rho Description of Operation

6.3 Data Storage


6.3.1 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 Demand, Waveform, and Fault
storage features.

6.3.2 Demand
Maximum, minimum and mean values of line currents, voltages and power (where applicable) are available as
instruments which can be read in the relay INSTRUMENTS MENU or via Reydisp.
The Gn Demand Window setting defines the maximum period of time over which the demand values are valid. A
new set of demand values is established after expiry of the set time.
The Gn Demand Window Type can be set to FIXED or PEAK or ROLLING.
When set to FIXED the maximum, minimum and mean values demand statistics are calculated over
fixed Window duration. At the end of each window the internal statistics
are reset and a new window is started.
When set to PEAK the maximum and minimum values since the feature was reset are recorded.
When set to ROLLING the maximum, minimum and mean values demand statistics are calculated over
a moving Window duration. The internal statistics
are updated when the window advances every Updated Period.
The statistics can be reset from a binary input or communication command, after a reset the update period and
window are immediately restarted.

6.3.3 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 ms.
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.

6.3.4 Waveform Records


Relay waveform storage can be triggered either by user selecting the relay operations from the relay fascia from a
suitably programmed binary input or via the data communications channel(s). The stored analogue and digital
waveforms illustrates 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 15 s of waveform storage; this is user selectable to 15 Rec x 1 Sec,
7 Rec x 2 Sec, 3 Rec x 5 Sec, 1 Rec x 15 Sec 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.

©2023 Siemens Protection Devices Chapter 1 Page 53 of 57


7SR105 Rho Description of Operation

Waveforms are not available for the Temperature input trips.


Waveforms are sampled at a rate of 1600 Hz.
Stored waveforms can be erased using the DATA STORAGE > Clear Waveforms setting or from Reydisp.

6.3.5 Fault Records


The last 100 fault records can be stored and displayed on the Fascia LCD. Fault records can be triggered by user
selected via 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 summary of the relay
status is recorded. This is recorded until the fault is active or the Max Fault Rec. Time expires, whichever is
earlier.
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 reset.
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 > Clear Faults setting.
The fault recorder summary is available in 2 different options. These options can be selected from the LCD
display via DATA STORAGE> FAULT STORAGE> Fault Rec Value setting or from Reydisp. The user can
select any one of the following options as described below:
 Trip: The RMS value of the fault current is captured during the trip initiation.
 Max after Trip: The maximum RMS value of fault current is captured during the trip initiation.

6.3.6 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 top-
right position of the LCD) that data storage is taking place:

The 'œ' 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.

6.4 Metering
The metering feature provides real-time data available from the relay fascia in the ‘Instruments Mode’ or via the
data communications interface.
The primary values are calculated using the CT ratios set in the CT/VT Config menu.
The text displayed in the relays ‘Instruments Mode’ associated with each value can be changed from the default
text using the Reydisp software tool.
The user can add the meters that are most commonly viewed to a ‘Favourites’ window by pressing ‘ENTER’ key
when viewing a meter. The relay will scroll through these meters at an interval set in the System Config/
Favourite Meters Timer menu.

7SR105 Rho Description of Operation

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 communications 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 1.0 day.
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 devices without an external synchronization can have a maximum drift of ±2 s/day. The following attribute is
applicable only when no synchronization signal (e.g. IEC 60870-5-103) is received.

Attribute Value
Accuracy (-10 °C to 60 °C) ±60 p.p.m

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 communications 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 2. At any one time, only one group of
settings can be ‘active’ – SYSTEM CONFIG >Active Group setting.
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 both locally at the relay fascia and remotely over the data
communications 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 a non-volatile memory.

6.9 Confirmation ID (Password Feature)


The relay incorporates 2 levels of confirmation IDs - one for settings and other for control functions.
A confirmation ID (shown as Password in the device LCD display) serves to prevent users from carrying out
critical operations inadvertently. By entering the confirmation ID for settings and control functions, the chances of
performing operations inadvertently with potentially failure-inducing effects are reduced.
The programmable confirmation ID feature enables the user to enter a 4-character alpha-numeric code to perform
setting changes and control functions in the relay. The confirmation ID in factory supplied relay is set to NONE,
i.e. the confirmation ID feature is disabled. The confirmation ID must be entered twice as a measure against
accidental changes. Once a confirmation ID is entered then it is required thereafter to change settings or initiate
control commands. Confirmation IDs can be de-activated by using the confirmation ID to gain access and by
entering the confirmation ID to NONE. Again, this must be entered twice to deactivate the confirmation ID feature.

©2023 Siemens Protection Devices Chapter 1 Page 56 of 57


7SR105 Rho Description of Operation

As soon as the user attempts to change a setting or initiate control, the confirmation ID is requested before any
changes are allowed. Once the confirmation ID has been validated, the user is not prompted for the confirmation
ID for the next 1 hour. If no more changes are made within 1 hour, then the confirmation ID prompts are
automatically activated.
The setting confirmation ID is a confirmation mechanism to prevent inadvertent changes to settings from the front
fascia or over the rear serial communication channel(s). The control confirmation ID is confirmation mechanism to
prevent the inadvertent operation of control operations and commands from the Control menu on the relay fascia.
The confirmation ID validation screen also displays a numerical code. If the confirmation ID is lost or forgotten,
this code should be communicated to Siemens Limited and the confirmation ID can be retrieved.
NOTE:
The default control confirmation ID is "AAAA". It is recommended to change the default confirmation ID after the
final configuration.

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.

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,

1.3 Setting Mode


The Settings Mode is reached by pressing the READ DOWN ▼ button from the relay identifier screen.

Once the Settings Mode title screen has been located pressing the READ DOWN ▼ button takes the user into
the Settings mode sub-menus.

Each sub-menu contains the programmable settings of the relay in separate logical groups. The sub menus are
accessed by pressing the TEST/RESET► button. Pressing the ▼ button will scroll through the settings, after the
last setting in each sub menu is reached the next sub menu will be displayed. If a particular sub menu is not
required to be viewed then pressing ▼ will move directly to the next one in the list.

While a setting is being displayed on the screen the ENTER button can be pressed to edit the setting value. If the
relay is setting password protected the user will be asked to enter the password. If an incorrect password is
entered editing will not be permitted. All screens can be viewed if the password is not known.

While a setting is being edited flashing characters indicate the edit field. Pressing the ▲ or ▼ buttons will scroll
through the valid field values. If these buttons are held on, the rate of scrolling will increase.

Once editing is complete pressing the ENTER button stores the new setting into the non-volatile memory.

The actual setting ranges and default values for each relay model can be found in the appendix to this manual.

2.1.5 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.

Figure 2.1-4 PC Language File Editor

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.

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.

7SR105 Rho Technical Manual
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.

Chapter 4 - Page 8 of 70 © 2023 Siemens Protection Devices


Chapter 4 - 7SR105 Rho · Data Communications Definitions

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 A and B by fitting an external wire loop between terminals B and TERM
on the power supply module. Refer terminal diagram for RS 485 terminal details.

The polarity of the signal terminals is marked as A and B in line with the RS485 standard. The polarity is that when
the bus is in the quiescent state and no communication is taking place, the B terminal is more positive than A. This
can be used to identify the polarity of any equipment to be connected, typically measured at each terminal in turn
to ground. Connection of the device to a termination network at the end of the bus will also be to suit the quiescent
state as shown in the diagram below.

The polarity marking is often found to be reversed or marked as +/- on other equipment so care is required. If the
devices are connected in reverse, communication to all devices will be disturbed but no damage will occur. If problems
are experienced during commissioning, the connections should be tried in reverse.

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 and RS485) where fitted 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.

4.1 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 and RS485) where fitted. 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.

Definitions with shaded area are not available on all relay models.

7SR105 Rho Technical Manual
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.

7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

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 -23 23
1/2 ) and its LSB 2 (or 1/2 ). The following table shows a detailed layout of the mantissa.

1 1 1 1 1 1 1

1 2 3 4 21 22 23
2 2 2 2 2 2 2
0.5 0.25 0.125 0.0625 4.768e-7 2.384e-7 1.192e-7

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

4 9 7 4 2 4 0 0
0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

This calculates out as:

Sign = +1

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

1 1 1 1 1 1
Mantissa = 1 + + + + + +
1 2 3 5 10 13
2 2 2 2 2 2

4096 + 2048 + 1024 + 256 + 8 + 1 7433


= 1 + = 1 + = 1.907348632
13 13
2 2

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

Chapter 4 - Page 22 of 70 © 2023 Siemens Protection Devices


Chapter 4 - 7SR105 Rho · Data Communications Definitions
Address Value
30002 2400

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 1
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:

Address Value
30001 162E

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

7SR105 Rho Technical Manual

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

4.2.6 EVENTCOUNT

The EVENTCOUNT register contains the current number of events in the relay's event buffer.

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

4.2.7 TIME_METER

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.

The following table describes the fields in the time.

Key Description

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

7SR105 Rho Technical Manual

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 Value
30001 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 (non-
change-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.

Note 1: A Default variation refers to the variation responded when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or
3 scans. Default variations are configurable; however, default settings for the configuration parameters are indicated
in the table above.

Note 2: For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are only responded when a request is sent with
qualifiers 17 or 28, respectively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be
responded with qualifiers 00 or 01. (For change-event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.)

Note 3: Writes of Internal Indications are only supported for index 7 (Restart IIN1-7).

7SR105 Rho Technical Manual
5.3 Point List
The tables below identify all the default data points provided by the implementation of the Triangle MicroWorks, Inc.
DNP 3.0 Slave Source Code Library.

This protocol can be set to use any or all of the relays hardware interfaces (USB and RS485) where fitted. 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 - 65534 to enable
communication. This can be set by the Communications Menu : COM n-xxxxx Station Address setting.

The information shown below is the default configuration. This can be modified using the Communications
Configuration Editor tool, refer section 9 for details.

5.3.1 Binary Input Points

The default binary input event buffer size is set to allow 100 events.

Binary inputs are by default returned in a class zero interrogation.

Note, not all points listed here apply to all builds of devices.

5.3.3 Binary Output Status Points and Control Relay Output Blocks

Chapter 4 - Page 48 of 70 © 2023 Siemens Protection Devices


Chapter 4 - 7SR105 Rho · Data Communications Definitions

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.
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.

5.3.4 Counters

The following table lists both Binary Counters (Object 20) and Frozen Counters (Object 21). When a freeze function
is performed on a Binary Counter point, the frozen value is available in the corresponding Frozen Counter point. The
default Binary Counter and Frozen Counter event buffer sizes are set to 30.

The “Default Deadband,” and the “Default Change Event Assigned Class” columns are used to represent the absolute
amount by which the point must change before a Counter change event will be generated, and once generated in
which class poll (1, 2, 3, or none) will the change event be reported.

The default counter event buffer size is set 30. The counter event mode is set to Most Recent, only most recent event
for each point is stored.

Counters are by default returned in a class zero interrogation.

Note, not all points listed here apply to all builds of devices.

5.3.5 Analog Inputs

The following table lists Analog Inputs (Object 30). It is important to note that 16-bit and 32-bit variations of Analog
Inputs, Analog Output Control Blocks, and Analog Output Statuses are transmitted through DNP as signed numbers.

The “Default Deadband,” and the “Default Change Event Assigned Class” columns are used to represent the absolute
amount by which the point must change before an Analog change event will be generated, and once generated in
which class poll (1, 2, 3, or none) will the change event be reported.

The default analog input event buffer size is set 30. The analog input event mode is set to Most Recent, only most
recent event for each point is stored.

Chapter 4 - 7SR105 Rho · Data Communications Definitions
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.

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

Note, as MODBUS points are polled they do not need to be enabled or disabled.

The tool will allow:

© 2023 Siemens Protection Devices Chapter 4 - Page 65 of 70


7SR105 Rho Technical Manual

• 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.

1.5 Environmental Protection Hints


Disposal of Old Equipment and Batteries (Applicable only for European Union and Countries
with a Recycling System)

The disposal of our products and possible recycling of their components after
decommissioning has to be carried out by an accredited recycling company, or
the products/components must be taken to applicable collection points. Such
disposal activities must comply with all local laws, guidelines and environmental
specifications of the country in which the disposal is done. For the European
Union the sustainable disposal of electronic scrap is defined in the respective
regulation for "waste electrical and electronic equipment" (WEEE).
The crossed-out wheelie bin on the products, packaging and/or
accompanying documents means that used electrical and electronic
products and batteries must not be mixed with normal household
waste.

According to national legislation, penalties may be charged for


incorrect disposal of such waste.
By disposing of these products correctly you will help to save valuable resources
and prevent any potential negative effects on human health and the environment.

NOTE
Our products and batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. For
disposing batteries it is necessary to observe the local national/international directives.

Disposal of Mobile Storage Devices (e.g. USB Sticks and Memory Cards)

When disposing of/transferring mobile storage devices, using the format or delete functions
only changes the file management information and does not completely delete the data from
your mobile storage device. When disposing of or transferring a mobile storage device,
Siemens strongly recommends physically destroying it or completely deleting data from the
mobile storage device by using a commercially available computer data erasing software.

Section 1: Introduction
1.1 Plant Design - Motors

Three phase AC motors use the synchronous or induction principle and have wide ranging power outputs from a
few kW to several MW.
Three phase induction motors are employed for all general purposes, typically in fixed speed applications to drive
machinery, pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, hoists etc. Induction motors are also used with variable
frequency inverters as controlled speed machines.
In a squirrel cage induction motor the 3-phase supply voltage produces a current in the stator winding which sets
up a rotating magnetic field. This field flux cuts the short-circuited rotor conductors and induces a current in them.
The interaction of the current and flux produces a torque which causes rotation.
LV motors are typically switched by contactors and HV motors by circuit breakers. Circuit breakers will make and
break fault current whereas contactors will make but not break fault current. This means that tripping by a
contactor must only be undertaken when the current is less than the contactor capability e.g. when the condition
detected is overload, unbalance or stalling.
Induction motors behave as transformers with shorted secondary winding until the rotor begins to move.

7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

Section 2: Protection Functions

This section provides guidance on the application and recommended settings of the 7SR105 and 7SR105
protection functions.
Motor faults can be divided into two categories – system faults affecting plant up to the motor terminals and faults
within the motor.

2.1 Thermal Protection


The motor heats due to power lost to the windings. The loss of heat is proportional to I2. The motor heating time
characteristic is determined by its heat storage capability and heat transfer properties. Operating temperatures
will determine the life of the motor insulation, each occurrence of increased temperature reduces the life of the
motor.
A number of conditions can cause the temperature of the motor to increase beyond normal working levels and
beyond the thermal limits of the motor:
Motor running overloaded
Stalling (over-torque, load jam)
Frequent starting or excessive start time
Unbalance/NPS current heating e.g. caused by unbalanced supply voltages or single phasing.
When a motor is started the rotor is initially stationary followed by a period of acceleration i.e. a reducing level of
slip. The motor initially behaves as a Transformer with the rotor acting as a shorted secondary winding. The Line
input currents are at a maximum and can typically be up to times 6x the normal full load (IFLA) running level if the
motor is started Direct On Line (D.O.L.). As heating is proportional to I2 the motor is subject to increased heating.
Figure 2-1 is a time/current plot illustrating the motor start (D.O.L.) and running currents, the current withstand
levels of the motor during running and stalled conditions and the operating characteristic of the thermal overload
protection.

7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

Generally the relay thermal setting calculation is carried out in the following order:-

Figure 2-2 Summary of Protection Settings Calculation Procedure

©2023 Siemens Protection Devices Chapter 7 Page 6 of 32


7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

Gn 49 NPS Weighting
Where ‘Average’ is selected the relay uses the average 3-phase RMS current in the thermal algorithm, this is
suitable for static plant e.g. thermal protection of a cable.
Negative phase sequence current has an increased heating effect on rotating plant e.g. a motor. The relay should
be set to ‘Sequence Components’ when applied to a motor.

Gn 49 NPS Weighting Factor (K)


The NPS component weighting factor value (K) should be in line with manufacturers data where provided. Where
this data is not available it is recommended that the default value (K = 3) is used.

Gn 49 Thermal Overload
The thermal overload setting takes into account both the motor full load current and the CT ratio.
Typically ‘Itheta thermal Overload’ setting = 1.05 x motor rated current.
If it known that the rating of the motor is well in excess of the requirements of the drive the normal motor load
current will be less than the motor rated current. A thermal overload setting can be chosen to protect the drive and
over protect the motor.

Gn 49 Motor Start Type


Selected to ‘%Itheta’ where the motor start current is above it’s running current.
For a VFD the start current may not be appreciably higher than the running current a binary input programmed to
‘Start Motor I/P’ can be used, see below. Note that a motor running condition is recognised by the relay when
current increases from the ‘motor stopped’ level to a ‘NOT motor stopped level’.
‘Start Motor I/P’ triggers a Data Report File and initialises the start prtotection

Gn 49 Motor Start Current


The motor starting current is usually taken to be the same as the locked rotor current. The Motor Start Current
setting should be less than this value and above the full load running current. The default value is 1.5 x Itheta (Iθ).
The starting current of a VFD motor may not be appreciably higher than the running current, a Motor Start Current
setting cannot be applied. When the motor runs up to speed the heating time constant will be applied (rather than
the starting time constant).

End of Start Type


Can be either by measured current (%Itheta) or for VFD motors a binary input programmed to ‘Motor Running I/P’
can be used.
The default setting (% Itheta) requires no wiring to a relay BI.

Gn49 End of Start


The end of the start can be defined when the current returns to below the thermal overload setting. The default
Gn 49 End of Start setting is 1.05 x Itheta (Iθ).

Gn 49 Motor Stop Type


This can be determined from current level (%Itheta), from current level checked by a binary input programmed to
‘CB Open’ condition or from current level checked by a binary input programmed to ‘No Accel’.
The default setting (% Itheta) requires no wiring to a relay BI.

Gn 49 Motor Stop Current


This is set at a value of current below which the motor is considered to be stopped. Typically a setting of 0.1 x Iθ
is used.

The IEC characteristic is used for general applications, see Figure 2.1-3.

Gn49 TauH Heating Constant


Where the actual motor heating time constant is given by the manufacturer, then this figure can be used to
determine the TauH setting, see Figure 2.1-3.

Gn49 TauS Starting Constant


When a motor is running at full speed, the airflow and ventilation give optimum cooling. During starting the
ventilation is reduced. If this time constant is known, it can be set on the relay. If not, then set the time constant
TauS to 1.0, i.e. the same as TauH. The time constant switches from TauH to TauS when a motor start is
determined.
The applied time constant switches from TauS to TauH when the ‘end of start’ is determined.

©2023 Siemens Protection Devices Chapter 7 Page 8 of 32


7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

Gn49 TauC Cooling Constant


After an overload trip or when the motor is switched off the rotor slows until it stops. During the run-down and
standstill states the motor will cool down but as the rotor does not produce forced cooling the thermal time
constant will be different from the running state. The ‘thermal capacity used’ value decreases exponentially to
mimic the cooling characteristic of the motor.
The cooling time constant is set to reflect the time taken for a stopped motor to reach steady state ambient
temperature from its running temperature. The cooling time constant of the motor is always longer than the
heating time constant applicable for running. The factor of TauC / TauH is not typically specified by the motor
manufacturer. Typical factors are 5 to 10 x, however for large motors which are totally enclosed and also ones
that normally rely heavily on forced cooling due to motion of the rotor, the factor can be as high as 60x.

Gn49 Hot/Cold Ratio Setting


Most motors are designed thermally to withstand onerous starting conditions rather than running conditions,
motors therefore tend to run at a much lower temperature than their insulation class allows when thermal
equilibrium is reached.
Normally, approximately half of the thermal capacity is used when a motor is running at full load. A hot/Cold Ratio
setting of 50% will take this into account. Specific settings are often determined from the motor thermal damage
curves or locked rotor time (LRT) hot and cold data curves.
Selecting the Hot/Cold ratio (H/C) to 100% (i.e. a high weighting factor) results in identical hot and cold operating
time curves i.e. Hot Safe Stall Time (HSST) = Cold Safe Stall Time (CSST). A Hot/Cold Ratio setting approaching
100% may allow overheating of the motor as the thermal history of the motor has not been sufficiently considered.
A motor requiring negligible hot spot consideration may have a low weighting factor of 5%. In this case, when
operating at full load, the relay would indicate little remaining thermal capacity available, e.g. 95% used. The hot
operating time curve is then much faster than the cold operating time curve.
Disabling the Hot/Cold Ratio feature (i.e. H/C = 0) is appropriate to a motor with no hot spots or for static plant
such as cables. Full consideration is made of prior loading and the ‘hot’ trip time is at a minimum relative to the
‘cold’ trip time.

Gn49 Capacity Alarm Setting


This setting is expressed as a percentage of the thermal state. It is settable from 50 to 100% of the set capacity
and gives an alarm output if its setting is exceeded. Typically this would be set to 95% to indicate that a potential
trip condition exists and that the system should be scrutinised for abnormalities.

Gn 49 Load Alarm
An alarm is provided to indicate load currents above a user set value. High levels of load current may be
indicative of bearing wear e.g. due to excessive vibration or loss of lubrication. The supply to the motor can be
removed before further damage occurs.
The alarm level is set as a multiple of the thermal overload setting. The range is 0.5 to 1.0 x Itheta Thermal
Overload and a measured current above the set value will initiate the alarm if set.

Thermal Restart Inhibit


This feature is used to prevent motor starting if there is insufficient thermal capacity to satisfactorily complete the
start operation. This can be initially set to 50% in the absence of further information.
During commissioning, before starting the protected motor, check the thermal state at the motor by accessing the
“Thermal Capacity Used” meter and note the value. The motor should then be started with its normal load and,
when up to speed the “Thermal Capacity Used” value can be re-checked. The difference between these two
values indicates the magnitude of thermal capacity used to start. This amount must always be available before a
restart is permitted. For safety, this figure should be multiplied by 1.25. For example, if 20% of capacity is used
during starting, then 20% x 1.25 = 25%, and the Thermal Restart Inhibit setting should be 75%.
Alternatively auto-setting can be selected.

2.1.2 Stall Protection (14)

Figure 2-5 Thermal Overload Protection

The motor will stall when the load torque exceeds the breakdown torque. The motor will draw a stall current equal
to or approaching locked rotor current. The thermal overload protection may provide protection against stalling
during running and starting, however, where this is not possible then the additional dedicated stall protection
functions can be used. Quick motor shut down can reduce thermal damage as well as damage to gears, bearings
and other drive-train components.
Stalling may occur during running or may be a failure to accelerate during starting e.g.
 Excess shaft load prior to motor start-up (e.g. failure to open the pump’s discharge gate)
 Sudden change of increased shaft load torque during normal operation (e.g. bearing failures)

Figure 2.1-6 illustrates the most common situation where the stalled motor condition can be effectively
distinguished from a healthy start by simple time grading. Select Gn14-n Control to ‘None’. A single definite time
characteristic can give protection during starting and stalling without causing mal-operation during a healthy start
sequence.

Figure 2.1-7 Start Time Greater Than Locked Rotor Withstand Time
In cases where the motor starting time approaches or exceeds the stall withstand time (e.g. motors driving high
inertia loads) then protection discrimination between starting and stalling cannot be provided by simple time
grading.
It is required that the stall protection is enabled only when the motor is running, this can be achieved either by:-
Select Gn14-n Control to ‘Running’, or

©2023 Siemens Protection Devices Chapter 7 Page 11 of 32


7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

A tachometric switch mounted on the rotor is used to signal that the motor is running. A relay binary input
is configured to be energised by this switch and is programmed to the ‘No Accel.’ function in the input
configuration menu. Select Gn14-n Control to ‘No Accel’.

Under stall conditions, a trip will occur after Gn14-n Delay which should be set with a delay less than the motor
stall withstand time.
This can be supplemented by an additional Gn-14-n element (select Gn14-n Control to ‘None’) used to provide
protection against the motor running up but drawing starting current for an excessive time. This timer runs for
current above Gn14-n setting to provide excessive start time protection.

2.1.2.3 Over Torque DTL Element


The stall protection can be used to provide an over-torque feature which provides a faster trip where the motor
develops a gradual increase in load above rating. Typical causes are bearing failure or control malfunction.
Bearings may prematurely wear due to excessive vibration or loss of lubrication.
This feature allows the relay to remove the supply to the motor before further damage occurs to the bearing or
load. This function is primed when the current returns to normal load levels immediately after a motor start i.e.
Gn14-n Control is selected to ‘Running’
The setting must allow for an increase in motor current from a system voltage depression or sudden acceleration
and to allow the relay to distinguish between backfed faults.

2.1.3 Start Protection (66)


During a start higher current will be drawn from the supply and will cause higher temperatures to be generated
within the motor. This is exacerbated by the fact that the motor is not rotating and hence no cooling due to rotation
is available.
The permitted winding temperatures cannot be exceeded therefore the motor will have restrictions on the start
duration or on the number of starts that are allowed in a defined period.

2.1.3.1 Number of Starts Protection (66)


Starting can be blocked if the permitted number of starts is exceeded. Typically two or three consecutive starts
are permitted for a large motor which means that the motor and driven machine have to slow down to a stop
before a start is attempted. The coasting down time may be several minutes and the time interval should reflect
this i.e. Gn 66 Max Number of Starts and Gn 66 Max Starts Period settings.
Where the start duty is severe the motor manufacturer may impose a deliberate waiting time between starts, this
must be set on the relay (Gn 66 Time Between Starts).
This feature can be used to prevent the operator from jogging the motor. Jogging is defined as multiple start/stops
in quick succession.

2.1.3.2 Start Time Supervision (48)


Excessive temperatures may be caused by an unacceptably long start-up time. Excessive starting time may be
due to:
Motor overloading
Loss of a supply phase/unsymmetrical voltage
Mechanical failure of the motor or load bearings
Low supply voltage

2.1.4 Phase Unbalance Protection (46)


Unbalanced phase currents can be measured from the difference in phase currents or from the negative phase
sequence (NPS) component.
Unbalance current is contributed by the motor or system when an unbalanced voltage condition exists (open
phase faults, single phase faults or unbalanced loading) or there are shorted turns on the stator winding
Motors are designed, manufactured and tested to be capable of withstanding unbalanced current for specified
limits. NPS withstand is specified in two parts; continuous capability based on a figure of I2, and short time
capability based on a constant, K, where K = (I2)2 t.
Unbalance current includes a negative phase sequence (NPS) current component. NPS current presents a major
problem for 3-phase motors since it produces a magnetic field which rotates in the opposite direction to the main

©2023 Siemens Protection Devices Chapter 7 Page 12 of 32


7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

field created by the rotor. This induces double-frequency currents into the rotor which cause very large eddy
currents in the rotor body. The resulting heating of the rotor can be severe and is proportional to (I2)2 t.
Note that a 1% voltage unbalance typically translates into a 6% current unbalance. In order to prevent nuisance
trips the pick-up level should not be set too low but, as current unbalance can cause serious rotor overheating the
motor manufacturers recommendation as to the maximum allowable unbalance or negative sequence should be
set.
The NPS withstand figure quoted by the motor manufacturer shall be used where available. Magnitude difference
protection should be selected where harmonics are present.

Thermal Protection - Common Settings

NPS Weighting
Negative phase sequence current has an increased heating effect on a motor, NPS Weighting should be set to
‘Sequence Components’ when applied to a motor.

NPS Weighting Factor (K)


Where machine data is available for the machine negative sequence withstand (NPS weighting factor), this figure
should be used. If no figure is available, it is recommended that K is set to the default value (K = 3). Should this
setting give nuisance tripping in service a reduced weighting factor can be applied, the relay meters can be used
and/or the motor manufacturer consulted to help arrive at a suitable value.

Gn 49 Itheta Thermal Overload


It is usual to choose a thermal overload setting of 1.05 x FLC, above this level the relay picks up and starts timing
out before issuing a trip output, This setting allows full utilisation of the output rating of the motor. Here a setting
of 1.05 x 0.86 = 0.903 is required, ‘Itheta Thermal Overload’ should be set to 0.90 x In.

Gn 49 Motor Start Type


The default setting ‘% Itheta’ can be used.

Gn 49 Motor Start Current


The default value (1.5 x Itheta) is chosen, this is below the motor start (locked rotor) current and above motor f.l.c.

Gn 49 End of Start
For a motor started DOL the end of the start can be defined as when the current returns to below the thermal
overload setting.
A settable End-of-Start current setting (default 1.05 x Itheta).

The safe stall time from hot (HSST) i.e. 7 seconds gives a THEAT value of 2.8 minutes. For this lower value a
setting of 2.5 could be chosen, there is the possibility of nuisance tripping after the motor has been in service for
some time with longer run-up times and higher currents.
A setting of TauH = 4 minutes is preferred allowing two starts in quick succession.

Starting Time Constant TSTART


This time constant has not been provided set to 1.0 x TauH.

Cooling Time Constant TCOOL


In this example, the cooling time constant has not been specified either as a time constant or as a multiple of its
heating time constant. We will therefore choose 10x, which is the default.

Hot/Cold Curve Ratio Setting (Hot Spot Weighting)


In our example the hot/cold stall withstand time ratio is 7/11 = 0.64 i.e. H/C setting = 64%. Note that at steady
state full load current the relay will stabilize at ‘Thermal Capacity Used’ of 36% with this setting applied.

Capacity Alarm Setting


An output can be configured to indicate that a selected thermal state level has been exceeded.
Typically this would be set to 95%. Of the thermal model

Load Alarm Setting


This current setting can be used to indicate abnormally high loading conditions e.g. 1.0 x Itheta.

Thermal Restart Inhibit Setting


This can be initially set to 50% in the absence of further information.
During commissioning, before starting the protected motor, check the thermal state at the motor by accessing the
“Thermal Capacity Used” meter and note the value. The motor should then be started with its normal load and,
when up to speed the “Thermal Capacity Used” value can be re-checked. The difference between these two

7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

values indicates the magnitude of thermal capacity used to start. This amount must always be available before a
restart is permitted. For safety, this figure should be multiplied by 1.25. For example, if 20% of capacity is used
during starting, then 20% x 1.25 = 25%, and the Thermal Restart Inhibit setting should be 75%.
Alternatively auto-setting can be selected.
Thermal Restart Mode
The default setting ‘Capacity’ can be used.

Cooling Constant TauC = 10

49 Capacity Alarm Setting = 95%
Load Alarm Setting = 1.0 x Itheta
Stall Protection
The fundamentals of this protection feature are explained in section 2.1.2.
In the example being considered the run-up time is 4 seconds and the safe stall time is 11 seconds. In this case
the thermal characteristic gives sufficient protection for normal starting and a stalled motor condition can be
detected by current/time grading. The ’14-1 Delay’ setting should be set to be longer than the run-up time and
less than the safe stall time, a time setting of 5 seconds should be chosen.
If the motor starting time is equal to or exceeds the stall withstand time it is necessary to use a stall element that
can operate only when the motor is running, by either:-
Selecting Gn14-2 Control to ‘Running’, or
Using a tachometric switch mounted on the rotor to signal that the motor is running. A relay binary input
is configured to be energised by this switch and is programmed to the ‘No Accel.’ function in the input
configuration menu. Select Gn14-2 Control to ‘No Accel’.

©2023 Siemens Protection Devices Chapter 7 Page 16 of 32


7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

In this configuration Gn-14-1 element (select Gn14-1 Control to ‘None’) can be used to provide protection against
excessive start time. This timer runs for current above Gn14-n setting to provide excessive start time protection.
Notes for Motors Where PF Correction Capacitors Are Fitted
The power factor of a 3-phase induction motor is inductive (typically 0.8 to 0.9). To correct the inductive current
(IQ) of the motor, a capacitor producing capacitive current (IQC) is used i.e. a capacitor is connected in parallel
with the motor.
Where the capacitor is connected on the motor side of the relay measuring point the 7SR105 and 7SR17
measures the corrected motor current and thus the relay settings must be adjusted to take account of the degree
of correction. Where the capacitor is connected on the ‘system’ side of the relay measuring point the relay will
measure pure motor current. In these cases the correction does not affect the relay settings.
Charging of the PF correction capacitors may cause transient inrush currents during motor starting.

2.3 Current Protection: Loss of load – Undercurrent (37)


Undercurrent elements are used to indicate that current has ceased to flow or that a low load situation exists.
Definite Time Lag (DTL) elements are used. Loss of Load protection is applied to detect:
 Loss of pump flow e.g. motor cooling pumps.
 Loss of airflow for fans
 A failure in a mechanical transmission (e.g. failed shear pin).
The undercurrent setting where enabled can be set to the required level above motor no load current. The applied
current setting or time delay setting must take into consideration low load conditions e.g. the various operate
cycles of a compressor installation.
Where required the function can be inhibited from a binary input.
The undercurrent guard can be set to avoid inadvertent operation when the motor is stopped.

7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

2.4 Overcurrent (50-n, 51-n)


2.4.1.1 Instantaneous Overcurrent (50-n)
This is applied to protect the motor connections against phase-phase short circuits. The setting should be either
above the motor start current, or inhibited during motor starting e.g. via a binary input. Note that charging of motor
PF correction capacitors where fitted will increase motor starting current.
As the motor is the final point of load in the network there is no requirement to coordinate the overcurrent
protection with any downstream devices, the protection can be set to operate instantaneously.

2.4.2 Time Delayed Overcurrent (51-n)


Generally instantaneous overcurrent is applied to protect the motor terminal connections. Time delayed
overcurrent may be used when the relay is utilised in non motor applications.

2.5 Earth-fault Protection (50G/50N)


Earth fault current levels will be limited by the earth fault impedance the motor and associated plant. It may be
difficult to make an effective short circuit to earth due to the nature of the installation and/or system earthing
method and the earth fault current may therefore be limited to very low levels.
Where very sensitive current settings are required then it is preferable to use a core balance CT rather than wire
into the residual connection of the line CTs. The turns ratio of a core balance CT can be much smaller than that of
phase conductors as it is not related to the rated current of the protected circuit. Since only one core is used, the
CT magnetising current losses are also reduced by a factor of three.
There are limits to how sensitive an earth fault relay may be set since the setting must be above any line charging
current levels that can be detected by the relay. On occurrence of an out of zone earth fault the elevation of sound
phase voltage to earth in a non-effectively earthed system can result in a zero sequence current of up 3 times
phase charging current flowing through the relay location. The step change from balanced 3-phase charging
currents to this level of zero sequence current includes transients. It is recommended to
 Apply directional earth fault protection, or
 Allow for a transient factor of 2 to 3 when determining the limit of charging current. Based on the above
considerations the minimum setting of a relay in a resistance earthed power system is 6 to 9 times the
charging current per phase.

Figure 2.5-1 Earth Fault Protection Applications

During motor starting the higher currents may cause some CT saturation to occur because of the long dc offsets.
For the residual (Holmgreen) earth current measuring connection, unequal CT saturation may cause false
residual current to flow. It is recommended to use one of the following methods:
 Add a ‘snubbing’ resistor ensure that the earth fault element operate voltage is higher than that which
can be produced by current flowing through the saturated CT phase winding. This has the disadvantage
of increasing the CT burden for a real motor earth fault. Note that with this method the resistor is only
required during motor starting and will reduce the earth fault protection sensitivity.

©2023 Siemens Protection Devices Chapter 7 Page 18 of 32


7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

The calculation procedure is detailed in document ‘Technical Guidance Note (TGN) High Impedance
Restricted Earth Fault Protection’. Note that the required stability level shall be taken as 1.3 x motor start
current.
 Connect an auxiliary contact from the CB or contactor controlling the motor to a relay binary input (BI).
This BI can be used to apply in an alternative Setting Group (e.g. Group 2) for the set drop off delay of
the BI. Setting Group 2 can include increased earth fault pickup and/or time delay settings.
 Add a time delay to the earth fault operation.

2.6 High Impedance Restricted Earth Fault Protection(87REF)


Restricted Earth Fault (REF) protection is applied to motors to detect low level earth faults in the stator windings.
Current transformers are located as shown in Figure 2.6-1. During normal operation no current will flow in the
relay element. When an internal earth fault occurs, the currents in the CTs will not balance and the resulting
unbalance flows through the relay.
The REF function is configured to provide an instantaneous trip output to minimise damage from developing
winding faults.

Figure 2.6-1 Restricted Earth-fault protection

The calculation for the value of the Stabilising Resistor (Rstab) is based on the worst case where for the
maximum current one CT fully saturates and the other balancing CT does not saturate at all.
The required fault setting (primary operate current) of the protection is chosen; typically, this is less than 10% of
the motor rated current.
Additional external Non-Linear Resistor and stabilising resistor components are required.
See separate publication ‘Technical Guidance Note (TGN) High Impedance Restricted Earth Fault Protection’.

2.7 Voltage Protection (27/59)


2.7.1 Under Voltage
Power system under-voltages may last for only a few cycles or continue on a steady-state basis, they can occur
due to system faults, an increase in system loading or loss of supply e.g. loss of an incoming transformer.
The motor does not need to be disconnected from the supply for short voltage dips, generally motor running will
recover when the voltage is restored.
The motor may stall when subjected to prolonged undervoltage conditions. The motor should be disconnected
from the supply and planned staged restoration of motors can be implemented when the supply is re-established.
The undervoltage trip is initiated by a voltage element operating after a definite time delay. The voltage and time
delay are set to coordinate with the system and motor undervoltage withstand. The applied settings must take into
account:
Prior to motor starting the relay may not detect voltage, depending on the VT connection. Under voltage
protection can be inhibited using the Gn 27/59 under voltage guard feature.
In service voltage dips are likely to occur during transient faults and starting of motors. The time delay
will consider the voltage dip duration for which re-acceleration is possible.
Motor starting can result in voltage depression to 80% of nominal, the voltage setting is likely to be below
this value.

©2023 Siemens Protection Devices Chapter 7 Page 19 of 32


7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

2.7.2 Over Voltage


Motors can operate on moderate steady state overvoltage within the motor tolerance. Overvoltage causes an
increase in magnetisation (no load) current due to an increase in iron loss in the machine. At a given shaft load,
the overvoltage also causes a decrease in load current. In general the resulting total current will be less than the
motor current at rated voltage. Smaller motors have a relatively high magnetising current and therefore
overvoltages will cause the motor operating temperature to increase.

2.8 Negative Phase Sequence (NPS) Overvoltage (47)


Voltage unbalance can be caused by faulty contactors, transformer/OLTC faults or unbalanced loading of the
three phases. Very high levels of NPS Voltage indicate a reversed phase sequence due to an incorrect
connection. NPS Voltage level is an indicator of the system supply quality.
Unbalanced voltages produce unbalanced currents, see section 2.1.4. The motor NPS impedance is lower than
the Positive Phase Sequence (PPS) impedance and therefore the ratio of NPS to PPS Current is higher than the
equivalent ratio of NPS to PPS Voltage. A 1% voltage unbalance typically translates into a 6% current unbalance.
NPS Voltage DTL elements can be used as Alarms to indicate that the level of NPS voltage has reached
abnormal levels.

2.9 Frequency (81)


At decreased frequency without a corresponding voltage reduction the flux density within the motor core is
increased thus increasing the hysteresis and eddy current losses and heating.
Under-frequency elements can be used to provide an alarm.

2.10 Power Protection


2.10.1 Power (32)
An under power element protects against a loss of load condition by measuring the real power flow to the motor in
the running condition. This provides an alternative to under current measurement as load loss may result in only a
small change in current (see section 2.3).
To prevent spurious trip operations when the relay is first energised or when a motor is disconnected, the
directional power element does not operate for currents below the motor stopped threshold ISTOP.
The under power output is initiated by a voltage element operating after a definite time delay. The applied power
setting will typically be 10-20% below minimum load, the power and time delay settings must take into account:
Where rated power cannot be reached during starting (for example where the motor is started with no
connected load) it may be necessary to inhibit this function for a set time. This feature requires a 52a
circuit breaker auxiliary contact mapped to an opto input to get the information CB Closed/CB Open.
Directional power measurement may operate on occurrence of a system power supply fail or system
fault. Power flow into the motor will reverse since the motor will act as a generator due to the inertia of
the connected load.

2.10.2 Sensitive Power (32S)


The CT accuracy should be considered when for the application and setting of this function.

2.10.3 Power Factor (55)


Power factor is often a more sensitive measurement of underload conditions than current. Settings must take into
account:
The power factor is low during motor starting. Start/running conditions of a VSD or synchronous motor
can be detected. This function can be used instead of a tacho speed switch to block stall protection for
starting, when the stall withstand is within the motor start current profile.
loss of excitation on a synchronous motor. This can be enabled for service once the excitation is applied,
it can be disabled during motor starting e.g. by setting the DTL.

7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

Section 3: Current Transformer (CT) Requirements


3.1 CT ratio
The CT primary rating is usually chosen to be equal to or greater than the motor full load current.

Output 400
Input power    493KVA
P.F.  efficiency 0.85  0.955

KVA 493
Full load current    86.3 Amps
3 kV 3  3 .3

The C.T. ratio should be chosen as equal to or the next standard above the motor full load rating here a 100 Amp
primary is chosen. The secondary could be either 1 or 5A, to reduce CT burden a 1A secondary is used, so a
current ratio of 100/1 is chosen.
The motor full load CT secondary current is:
MotorFLC 86.3  1
  0.86 A ( 0.86  In)
CT Ratio 100

3.2 Thermal and Overcurrent Protection CTs


Motors are typically located in industrial environments with relatively low fault current. The motor is the end load of
the system and therefore has no onerous grading requirements. The CT can typically be a class 10P10 with VA
rating to match the load.

Definite Time and Instantaneous Overcurrent


For industrial systems with requirements as for i.d.m.t.l. relays item (a) above, a class 10P10 (or 20).
Note that overcurrent factors do not need to be high for definite time protection because once the setting is
exceeded magnitude accuracy is not important.

3.3 Earth Fault Protection CTs


Considerations and requirements for earth fault protection are the same as for Phase fault. Usually the relay
employs the same CT's e.g. three phase CTs star connected to derive the residual earth fault current.
The accuracy class and overcurrent accuracy limit factors are therefore already determined and for both these
factors the earth fault protection requirements are normally less onerous than for overcurrent.

3.4 Sensitive Power (32S)


For sensitive reverse power applications e.g. Ps < 5%Pn class 1 metering CTs are recommended with a rated
burden to match the secondary load connected.
For higher settings a 5P10 CT can be used.

7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

Section 4: Supervision and Monitoring Functions


4.1 Breaking Capacity Limit (50BCL)
Motors are generally controlled by three methods:
Larger rated motors typically at 3.3kV or 11kV use circuit breakers,
Medium to smaller rated motors use MCCB’s or fused contactors.
MCCB’s and Contactors both have limited fault breaking capacity. Contactors are typically limited to 8 to 10 times
their nominal current rating.
To prevent Contactor operation where fault current is above the contactor rating a check must be made that r.m.s.
currents are within the contactor rating, for currents above this level circuit breaking duty should be transferred to
the up-stream circuit Breaker. Alternatively, depending on circuit arrangement contactor operation can be time
delayed to allow fuses to clear fault current first then the contactor is opened.
If current is above this value then the Trip action is initiated from the 50 BCL output:-
50BCL is a high speed element, it’s instantaneous operation can be used to interrupt protections assigned as a
general trip (OUTPUT CONFIG > OUTPUT MATRIX > General Trip). All contacts assigned as ‘Gn **** Trips’ in
the OUTPUT CONFIG > TRIP CONFIG menu (thermal, P/F, E/F, Misc, Voltage, Freq, Power) are General Trips.
For example:
The 50-1 protection must not trip the contactor for currents in excess of say 6 xIn:
50-1 Element : Current setting and time delay as required. To recognise 50-1 as a ‘General Trip’ set as
‘OUTPUT CONFIG > TRIP CONFIG = P/F Trip’. Trip output to be connected to output relay assigned to
‘OUTPUT CONFIG > OUTPUT MATRIX > General Trip’.
50BCL Element: 6 x In. Output relay to be connected to suitably rated current break device.

4.2 Backspin Protection (81B)


The rotor of a pump motor may spin backwards when the pump is stopped. Starting the motor during this period
of reverse rotation (back-spinning) may result in motor damage. Backspin detection ensures that the motor can
only be started when the motor has stopped or slowed to within acceptable limits.
When backspin protection is used the Gn 81B Delay is always enabled. This delay setting must be coordinated
with the undervoltage or tachometer input when these are used.

4.3 Current Transformer Supervision (60CTS)


When a CT fails, the current level in the failed phase reduces to zero and the protection become unbalanced. The
CT output includes a large NPS component, however, this condition would also occur for a system fault. To
differentiate between the two conditions NPS voltage is used to restrain the CTS algorithm where the relay has
VT inputs.
A 3-phase CT failure is considered so unlikely (these being independent units) that this condition is not tested for.
Operation is subject to a time delay to prevent operation for transitory effects.
Where specific requirements are not available the default settings should be used:
Gn 60CTS Inps = 0.1 x In
Gn 60CTS Vnps = 10V
Gn 60CTS-I Setting = 0.05 x In

©2023 Siemens Protection Devices Chapter 7 Page 22 of 32


7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

4.4 Voltage Transformer Supervision (60VTS)


Voltage Transformers (VTs) rarely fail, however, VT Supervision is commonly applied because the fuses
connected in series with the VTs may fail.
When a VT failure occurs on one or two phases, the voltage levels seen by the protection become unbalanced. A
large level of NPS voltage is therefore detected - around 0.3 x Vn for one or two VT failures. However this
condition would also occur for a system fault. To differentiate between the two conditions, the element uses NPS
current to restrain the VTS algorithm.
Following a VT Failure, the level of NPS current would be dependent solely upon load imbalance - perhaps 0.1 x
In as a maximum.
Operation is subject to a time delay to prevent operation for transitory effects.
Care must be taken when using ZPS quantities as it may be difficult to differentiate between a VT failure and a
Phase-Phase fault. Both conditions would generate little or no ZPS current. However the element provides an
option to use ZPS quantities to meet some older specifications.
When NPS quantities are used load imbalances generate significant levels of NPS current and so possibly cause
a VT failure to be missed. This can be overcome by setting the NPS current threshold above the level expected
for imbalance conditions.
If a failure occurs in all 3 Phases of a Voltage Transformer, then there will be no NPS or ZPS voltages. The PPS
voltage will however fall below expected minimum measurement levels.
This could also be due to a ‘close in’ fault and so PPS Current must remain above minimum load level BUT below
minimum fault level.
Operation is again subject to a time delay to prevent operation for transitory effects.
Alternatively a 3 Phase VT failure can be signalled to the relay via a Binary Input taken from the Trip output of an
external MCB. This can also be reset by a Binary Input signal.
VTS would not normally be used for tripping - it is an alarm rather than fault condition. However the loss of a VT
would cause problems for protection elements that have voltage dependant functionality. For this reason, the
relay allows these protection elements - under-voltage, directional over-current, etc. - to be inhibited if a VT failure
occurs.
Unless specific information is available the default settings should be used:
Gn 60VTS Component: NPS
Gn 60VTS V: 7V
Gn 60VTS I: 0.1 x In
Gn 60VTS Vpps: 15V
Gn 60VTS Ipps Load: 0.1 x In
Gn 60VTS Ipps Fault: 10 x In

4.5 Trip-Circuit Supervision (74TCS)


Binary Inputs may be used to monitor the integrity of the CB trip circuit wiring. A small current flows through the
B.I. and the trip circuit. This current operates the B.I. confirming the integrity of the auxiliary supply, CB trip 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 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.

7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

4.6 Trip/Close Circuit Supervision (74T/CCS)


The relay provides three trips 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 the 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 the 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.

4.6.1 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.

To achieve higher isolation, in the dual TCS application, it is recommended to maintain one Binary Input channel

NOTE:
Use the correct threshold voltages for BI when using TCS with 2 BI.

NOTE:
It is recommended to use Resistor (R), when the low voltage BI is used in the high voltage application. For e.g:
BI44 is used 220 V DC application.

With use of Resistor(R) mentioned above, BI threshold will increase due to voltage drop across external resistor.

4.7 Circuit-Breaker Fail (50BF)


Where a circuit breaker fails to operate to clear fault current the power system will remain in a hazardous state
until the fault is cleared by remote or back-up protections. To minimise any delay, CB Failure protection provides
a signal to either re-trip the local CB or back-trip ‘adjacent’ CBs.
The function is initiated by the operation of user selectable protection functions or from a binary input.
The relay incorporates a two-stage circuit breaker fail feature. For some systems, only the first will be used and
the CB Failure output will be used to back-trip the adjacent CB(s) e.g. the busbar incomer. On other systems,
however, this output will be used to re-trip the local CB to minimise potential disruption to the system; if possible
via a secondary trip coil and wiring. The second CB Failure stage will then be used to back-trip the adjacent
CB(s).

4.8 Temperature Inputs (TEMP)


The thermal status of the motor can be detected through Temperature inputs (RTD). Motor working temperatures
will determine the life of the motor insulation, each occurrence of increased temperature reduces the life of the
motor. The ambient temperature, coolant temperature, Oil temperature, winding temperature and bearing
temperature of the equipment to be thermally protected can be measured by temperature inputs (RTD).

RTD’s can be connected to the Temperature inputs of the Relay, which provide actual temperature detected in
motors, generators and even transformers. Normally thermal temperature of motor can be monitored with, two
RTD sensors are used to monitor bearing temperature of the rotary machines and the three RTD sensors are
used to monitor the stator winding temperature and one RTD sensors can be used for ambient temperature
measurement.
The following table shows the temperature values according to the RTD resistance.

7SR105 Rho and 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide

4.9 Front Fascia Circuit Breaker OPEN/CLOSE function


The Relay has the functionality to control the OPEN and CLOSE operation of a single Circuit Breaker (CB) with
the help of dedicated 2 push buttons located on the device front fascia as illustrated below.
Button Function Description
Close Press Close button and confirm ENTER to execute the close
operation of circuit breaker.

Open Press Open button and confirm ENTER to execute the open
operation of circuit breaker.

Figure 4-7 Description of 7SR105 Front Fascia OPEN/CLOSE Push Buttons

Some of the key advantages of this functionality are:


 Convenient operation of Circuit Breaker directly from the front fascia of the device.
 Equipment/cost optimization possibilities by eliminating the need of an external dedicated switching devices
like TNC switches etc.
 Interlocking Circuit Breaker operation with the help of user programmable logics in 7SR105 using Reydisp
Manager.
 Combining existing hardwired interlocks with softwire interlocks which can be programmed by the user in
7SR105 with the help of Reydisp Manager.
 Circuit Breaker (CB) CLOSE/OPEN status indication can also be configured by using multicolour LED.
 7SR105 also provides an advantage in terms of operation security using push button authentication with an
on-screen confirmation message requiring a user confirmation and a control password (which is user
configurable). This prevents user from carrying out critical operations inadvertently.

Section 5: Control & Logic Functions

5.1 User Defined Logic

5.1.1 Undervoltage Auto Restart (Restoration of Supply)


As an example user defined logic can be used to provide an undervoltage auto-restart scheme.
Motors can be automatically re-started after a momentary power loss. When the control voltage drops below drop-
out voltage the contactors are de-energised. Timers can be initiated to restart the drive upon restoration of supply
voltage - if the control voltage is restored within the programmed restart time. For example logic can be
implemented to allow an auto-restart, delayed for up to 100s after supply loss for up to 10s.
The logic can be configured using Reylogic Express – refer to the Reydisp Manager User Manual.

5.2 Motor Start/Stop


The motor can be controlled from the relay fascia (control mode) using these settings. Note that the control mode
‘motor stop’ command is not suitable for use as an emergency stop e.g. an emergency stop requires immediate
access (not via menu structure) and the relay may not respond to key presses during archiving. Typically
separate motor control pushbuttons will be wired directly to the motor control device or to binary inputs of the
7SR105 and 7SR17.
