    7SR210 & 7SR220 Applications Guide Binary Inputs Each Binary Input (BI) can be programmed to operate one or more of the relay functions, LEDs or output relays. These could be used to bring such digital signals as Inhibits for protection elements, the trip circuit supervision status, autoreclose control signals etc.

Typically Voltage Dependent Over-current (51V) is applied to: Transformer Incomers: Where the impedance of the transformer limits fault current the measured voltage level can be used to discriminate between load and fault current.

    7SR210 & 7SR220 Applications Guide Sensitive Earth-fault Protection (50SEF) Earth fault protection is based on the assumption that fault current levels will be limited only by the earth fault impedance of the line and associated plant. However, it may be difficult to make an effective short circuit to earth due to the nature of the terrain e.g.
  • Page 18: Directional Protection (67)

    7SR210 & 7SR220 Applications Guide Directional Protection (67) Each overcurrent stage can operate for faults in either forward or reverse direction. Convention dictates that forward direction refers to power flow away from the busbar, while reverse direction refers to power flowing towards the busbar.
  • Page 19: Figure 2.6-3 Application Of Directional Overcurrent Protection

    7SR210 & 7SR220 Applications Guide Directional overcurrent elements allow greater fault selectivity than non-directional elements for interconnected systems where fault current can flow in both directions through the relaying point. Consider the network shown in fig. 2.6-3. The Circuit breakers at A, B, E and G have directional overcurrent relays fitted since fault current can flow in both directions at these points.

  • Page 22: High Impedance Restricted Earth Fault Protection (64H)

    The calculation of the value of the Stability Resistor is based on the worst case where one CT fully saturates and the other balancing CT does not saturate at all. A separate Siemens Protection Devices Limited Publication is available covering the calculation procedure for REF protection. To summarise this: The relay Stability (operating) Vs voltage is calculated using worst case lead burden to avoid relay operation for through-fault conditions where one of the CTs may be fully saturated.

  • Page 24: Negative Phase Sequence Overcurrent (46Nps)

    7SR210 & 7SR220 Applications Guide Negative Phase Sequence Overcurrent (46NPS) The presence of Negative Phase Sequence (NPS) current indicates an unbalance in the phase currents, either due to a fault or unbalanced load. NPS current presents a major problem for 3-phase rotating plant. It produces a reaction magnetic field which rotates in the opposite direction, and at twice the frequency, to the main field created by the DC excitation system.

An increase in system loading, Non-energized power system e.g. loss of an incoming transformer During normal system operating conditions regulating equipment such as transformer On Load Tap Changers (OLTC) and generator Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) ensure that the system runs within acceptable voltage limits.

    7SR210 & 7SR220 Applications Guide 2.13 Neutral Overvoltage (59N) Neutral Overvoltage Displacement (Residual Overvoltage) protection is used to detect an earth fault where little or no earth current flows. This can occur where a feeder has been tripped at its HV side for an earth fault, but the circuit is still energised from the LV side via an unearthed transformer winding.

    7SR210 & 7SR220 Applications Guide 2.13.1 Application with Capacitor Cone Units Capacitor cones provide a cost effective method of deriving residual voltage. The wide range of capacitor cone component values used by different manufacturer’s means that the relay cannot be connected directly to the cones.
  • Page 28: Under/Over Frequency (81)

    7SR210 & 7SR220 Applications Guide 2.15 Under/Over Frequency (81) During normal system operation the frequency will continuously vary over a relatively small range due to the changing generation/load balance. Excessive frequency variation may occur for: Loss of generating capacity, or loss of mains supply (underfrequency): If the governors and other regulating equipment cannot respond to correct the balance, a sustained underfrequency condition may lead to a system collapse.

    7SR210 & 7SR220 Applications Guide Section 4: Control Functions 4.1 Auto-reclose Applications Automatic circuit reclosing is extensively applied to overhead line circuits where a high percentage of faults that occur are of a transient nature. By automatically reclosing the circuit-breaker the function attempts to minimise the loss of supply to the customer and reduce the need for manual intervention.
  • Page 31: Auto-Reclose Example 1

    7SR210 & 7SR220 Applications Guide The relay closest to the fault (D) would step through its Instantaneous Trips in an attempt to clear the fault. If unsuccessful, the relay would move to a Delayed Trip sequence. The other relays in the network (A, B and C) would recognise the sequence of Pick-up followed by current switch- off as ARC sequences.

Where the fault current level is between the values ‘I1’ and ‘I2’ and the first trip is initiated from the 51-1 (IDMT) element, the IDMT characteristic should trip the CB and lockout the auto-reclose.

  • Page 36: Current Transformer Supervision (60Cts)

    7SR210 & 7SR220 Applications Guide Current Transformer Supervision (60CTS) When a CT fails, the current levels seen by the protection become unbalanced. A large level of NPS current is therefore detected - around 0.3 x In for one or two CT failures. However this condition would also occur for a system fault.
  • Page 37: Voltage Transformer Supervision (60Vts)

    7SR210 & 7SR220 Applications Guide Voltage Transformer Supervision (60VTS) Although VTs rarely fail themselves, VT Supervision presents a common application because of the failure of protective Fuses connected in series with the VTs. 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.

These currents may be above the operate level of the overcurrent elements for a short duration and it is important that the relay does not issue an incorrect trip command for this transient network condition.
