Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
Introduction
The 350 is a microprocessor-based relay for primary and backup over-current protection
of medium and low voltage distribution feeders. The relay is also suitable for providing
over-current and backup protection for small and medium size motors, transformers,
generators, and distribution bus-bars. The small footprint and the withdrawable option
make the 350
combination of proven hardware, a variety of protection and control features, and
communications, makes the relay ideal for total feeder protection and control. Equipped
with serial (RS485), USB, and Ethernet ports with the possibility of adding redundancy
(IEC62439, PRP and HSR), and a wide selection of protocols such as Modbus, DNP3.0, IEC
60870-5-103, 60870-5-104, IEC61850 GOOSE, OPC-UA, the 350
for MCCs and PCCs, SCADA and inter-relay communications. The 350
excellent transparency with respect to power system conditions and events, through its
four-line 20-character display, as well as the EnerVista 3
Conveniently located LEDs provide indication of relay operation, alarm, and pickup, as well
as breaker, and relay status.

DESCRIPTION OF THE 350 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEMCHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Description of the 350 Feeder Protection System
CPU
Relay functions are controlled by two processors: a Freescale MPC5554 32-bit
microprocessor measures all analog signals and digital inputs and controls all output
relays; a Freescale MPC520B 32-bit microprocessor controls all the Ethernet
communication protocols.
Analog Input and Waveform Capture
Magnetic transformers are used to scale-down the incoming analog signals from the
source instrument transformers. The analog signals are then passed through a 960 Hz low
pass anti-aliasing filter. All signals are then simultaneously captured by sample and hold
buffers to ensure there are no phase shifts. The signals are converted to digital values by a
12-bit A/D converter before finally being passed on to the CPU for analysis.
Both current and voltage are sampled thirty-two times per power frequency cycle. These
‘raw’ samples are scaled in software, then placed into the waveform capture buffer, thus
emulating a fault recorder. The waveforms can be retrieved from the relay via the
EnerVista 3
Frequency
Frequency measurement is accomplished by measuring the time between zero crossings
of the Bus VT phase A voltage. The signals are passed through a low pass filter to prevent
false zero crossings. Sampling is synchronized to the Va-x voltage zero crossing which
results in better co-ordination for multiple 350
Phasors, Transients, and Harmonics
Current waveforms are processed four times every cycle with a DC Offset Filter and a
Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). The resulting phasors have fault current transients and all
harmonics removed. This results in an overcurrent relay that is extremely secure and
reliable; one that will not overreach.
Processing of AC Current Inputs
The DC Offset Filter is an infinite impulse response (IIR) digital filter, which removes the DC
component from the asymmetrical current present at the moment a fault occurs. This is
done for all current signals used for overcurrent protection; voltage signals bypass the DC
Offset Filter. This filter ensures no overreach of the overcurrent protection.
The Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) uses exactly one sample cycle to calculate a phasor
quantity which represents the signal at the fundamental frequency; all harmonic
components are removed. All subsequent calculations (e.g. RMS, power, etc.) are based
upon the current and voltage phasors, such that the resulting values have no harmonic
components.
Protection Elements
Protection elements are processed up to four times every cycle to determine if a pickup
has occurred or a timer has expired. The protection elements use RMS current/voltage,
based on the magnitude of the phasor. Hence, protection is impervious to both harmonics
and DC transients.
NOTE:
Arc Flash protection elements are processed up to 8 times every cycle.

Features related to each order number are subject to change without notice.
Arc Flash System
The 350 protection relay with Input/Output option “A” supports up to 4 Arc Flash sensors,
which are ordered separately so that the connected sensor fiber lengths can be
customized.
The total sensor fiber length connected to each loop sensor must not exceed 70 meters of
single sensor fiber. Black sensor fiber is duplex, and must be doubled in calculations.
For example, a loop sensor with a 25 meter transparent sensor fiber plus a sensor fiber
extension of 10 meters would have a total of 2 x 10m + 25m = 45m of single sensor fiber.
The total sensor fiber length connected to each point sensor must not exceed 35 meters of
black (duplex) cable.
NOTE:
NOTE:
FASTPATH:
Generally each loop sensor is used with a sensor fiber extension, in order to minimize
exposure to ambient light when running the sensor fiber between cabinets. A duplex
sensor fiber extension connects the relay to the loop sensor, and can be gently pulled
apart to connect to the loop sensor connectors if they are not adjacent. Consider your
installation needs carefully when ordering sensor and extension lengths.
Empty chassis
The 350 protection relay chassis used with a drawout relay is available separately, for use
as a partial replacement or in test environments. Many features are supported by the
cards and ports within the chassis, as is reflected in the chassis order code.
The chassis order code and drawout relay order code must match exactly.
A drawout relay cannot be used in a chassis with different order code options.

Arc flash sensors
Arc flash sensors house the fiber optics that are used to detect the arc flash. Mounting
details depend on the sensor type (point or loop).
For detailed installation, testing and maintenance guidance for Arc Flash sensors, see GET20057 3 Series Arc Flash Application Note.
CAUTION:
If the relay is used in the computation for reducing the Hazard Reduction Category
code, operands for sensor failures must be assigned to an auxiliary output relay which
must be connected into the control logic of the breaker equipment to ensure safe
operations when the output relay is asserted. In the event of this assertion, the Hazard
Reduction Category code cannot be maintained unless backup protection is continuing
to maintain it.
CAUTION:
This product uses optical electronic devices (line or point sensors) to sense arc flash
fault conditions. It is recommended to follow proper housekeeping measures &
establish a regularly scheduled preventive maintenance routine to ensure proper
device operation. For maintenance recommendations, see GET-20057 3 Series Arc
Flash Application Note
Arc flash sensors are available in two different configurations, point and loop. Loop sensors
can be used with a black-coated sensor fiber extension to connect the ends of the loop
sensor to the 350 relay through panels up to 51 mm (2 inches) thick.
350 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL2–13
Page 48
MECHANICAL INSTALLATIONCHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION
Arc flash sensors of either type can be connected to any of the four arc flash ports on the
back of the 350 relay, as shown.
Figure 2-14: Arc flash sensors connected to a 350 relay
Sensor fiber handling
& storage
CAUTION:
2–14350 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Arc Flash sensor fiber is pressure sensitive and must be handled carefully to avoid
damage. Read the following guidelines fully before proceeding.
Care must be taken when handling the Arc Flash sensor fiber, which can be damaged if
twisted, bent, or clamped tightly during installation.
•Do not bend sensor fiber sharply, or with a radius of less than 35 mm (1.3 inches).
Sharp bends can damage the fiber. Do not pull or tug loops of sensor fiber, as sharp
bends may result.
•Do not clamp sensor fiber tightly during installation. Sensor fiber should be held in
place loosely for the best long-term performance. Avoid over-tightening ties which
may deform or break the sensor fiber.
•Do not pull or tug sensor fiber with force, as this may cause internal damage or
separate the fiber from the cable connector.
•Do not twist the sensor fiber, as twisting can damage the fiber resulting in
substandard performance.
•Do not attach sensor fiber directly to the bus or other live conductors.
Page 49
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATIONMECHANICAL INSTALLATION
•Avoid surface temperatures above 70 °C or 158 °F to prolong the life of the fiber.
•Secure all sensor fibers (loosely but securely) away from any moving parts.

350 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL2–15
Page 50
MECHANICAL INSTALLATIONCHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION
Figure 2-17: Duplex connector dimensions (point sensor, and sensor fiber extension for
loop sensor)
FASTPATH:
The point sensor fiber includes a duplex connector to connect to the back of the 350 relay
on one end, and a compressed slim connector that connects to the sensor itself on the
other end.
Before installing the AF sensor units, ensure that all other drilling and installation is
complete to minimize possible damage to the sensitive unit and connected sensor fiber
cable. Choose a location for the sensor clear of any obstructions that could shield the
sensor from arc flash light.
Review the sensor fiber handling guidelines above.
Sensor fiber should be held in place loosely for the best long-term performance. Avoid
over-tightening ties which may deform or break the sensor fiber.
General installation:
1.Choose a location for the point sensor.
Arc flash point sensors should be installed clear of any obstructions that could shield
the sensor from arc flash light, and less than 2m (6ft 6") from any potential arc flash
source.
The sensor head should be pointed towards the most likely source of arc flash.
For further guidance selecting point sensor locations, see GET-20057 3 Series Arc
Flash Application Note.
2.Remove the slim connector from the point sensor assembly.
3.Carefully route the duplex sensor fiber from the point sensor location to the back of
the relay unit, minimizing loops and curves for the strongest possible signal. Ensure all
sensor fiber handling precautions are followed.
2–16350 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Page 51
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATIONMECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The slim connecter fits through holes with a radius of 11 mm or greater, and can be
threaded through holes drilled in any panels between the relay and arc flash
detection location.
NOTE:
Install protective grommets when routing sensor fiber through metal walls.
4.Mount the point sensor using either a cable tie mount or through-hole mount, as
detailed below.
5.Reconnect the slim connector to the point sensor.
Arc flash point sensors can be installed in one of two ways, using a cable tie mount or a
through-hole mount.
Cable tie mount:
•Requires a 2.5-mm-wide cable tie.
•Mount the sensor on a stick or similar using the cable tie, as shown in the following
figure.
Figure 2-18: AF point sensor, cable tie mount
350 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL2–17
Page 52
MECHANICAL INSTALLATIONCHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION
Through-hole mount
•Requires a standard or self-tapping M3 screw, and optionally an M3 washer.
•Mount the sensor through a 10 mm hole made in the surface of any mechanical
structure inside the switchgear or on the surface of one side of the switchgear itself,
as shown in the following figure.
Figure 2-19: AF point sensor, through-hole mount
Figure 2-20: AF point sensors connected to 350 relay
Make sure there is no dirt or dust inside the point sensor or on the surface because it
reduces the capturing efficiency of the device, increases its transmission loss, or both. If
the point sensor is covered with dust, clean it by blowing or wiping the dust off the point
sensor.
FASTPATH:
The material of the point sensor is not affected by water-based cleaning agents, dish
soap, or organic solvents with an alcohol (ethanol) base. Do not use solvents or solvent
mixtures that contain acids because they can attack or dissolve the optical plastic
material.

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATIONMECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Loop sensor
installation
The loop sensor transparent sensor fiber has a single connector on either end. The sensor
fiber extension has a duplex connector on one end, two single connectors on the other
end, and comes with two single bulkhead connectors. Both come in custom lengths, which
can be ordered to fit your installation.

Before installing the AF sensor units, ensure that all other drilling and installation is
complete to minimize possible damage to the sensitive unit and connected sensor fiber
cable.
FASTPATH:
Review the sensor fiber handling guidelines above.
Sensor fiber should be held in place loosely for the best long-term performance. Avoid
over-tightening ties which may deform or break the sensor fiber.
1.Plan the path of the loop sensor fiber, looping through the chamber or chambers
requiring arc flash detection. See GET-20057 3 Series Arc Flash Application Note for
detailed examples of loop sensor installation.
2.Ensure that both ends of the loop remain close enough together to be reached by the
sensor fiber extension. If needed, gently pull apart the duplex sensor fiber extension
from the end with two single connectors, being careful not to bend the fiber with a
radius of less than 35 mm (1.3 inches).
3.Ensure that the sensor fiber extension is long enough to reach the 350 relay from the
bulkhead connector location.
4.Mount the bulkhead connector on the side of the chamber, following the drill hole
dimensions provided. Note that the single bulkhead connector uses washers 11.0 mm
(0.420 in) wide, so the drill holes must be spaced accordingly if the loop sensor path
begins and ends in the same place.
Figure 2-25: Bulkhead connector cutout
5.Install the loop sensor carefully, following all sensor fiber handling guidelines.
6.Plug the ends of the loop sensor into the bulkhead connectors.
7.Plug the single connectors on the sensor fiber extension into the other sides of the
bulkhead connectors, and the duplex connector into the back of the 350 relay.

Use the following guideline when selecting wires or lugs to connect to terminal blocks
A,B,C,D,E (Drawout case design), and terminal blocks D,E (Non-drawout case design):
•12 AWG to 22 AWG (3.3 mm2 to 0.3 mm2): Single wire termination with/without
mm (0.375”) maximum diameter ring terminals.
9.53
•14 AWG to 22 AWG (2.1 mm2 to 0.3 mm2): Multiple wire termination with matching
wire sizes and stranding. Two wires maximum per circuit.
•14 AWG to 22 AWG (2.1 mm2 to 0.3 mm2): Multiple wire termination with 9.53 mm
(0.375”) maximum diameter ring terminals. Two ring terminals maximum per circuit.
•The uncovered communications cable shield connected to the common terminal
should not exceed 1” (2.5 cm) for proper EMC shielding of the communications cable.
•Minimum suggested temperature rating for the conductors is 75C.
•Wire type: copper
Phase sequence and transformer polarity
For correct operation of the relay features, the user must follow the instrument
transformer polarities, shown in the Typical Wiring Diagram. Note the solid square
markings shown with all instrument transformer connections. When the connections
2–28350 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
adhere to this drawing, the arrow shows the direction of power flow for positive watts and
the positive direction of lagging vars. The phase sequence is user programmable for either
ABC or ACB rotation.

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATIONELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
NOTE
Current inputs
The 350 relay has four (4) channels for AC current inputs, each with an isolating
transformer. There are no internal ground connections on the current inputs. Current
transformers with 1 to 6000 A primaries may be used.
CAUTION:
Verify that the relay’s nominal input current of 1 A or 5 A matches the secondary rating
of the connected CTs. Unmatched CTs may result in equipment damage or inadequate
protection.
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
NOTE:
IMPORTANT: The phase and ground current inputs will correctly measure up to 20
times the current input’s nominal rating. Time overcurrent curves become horizontal
lines for currents above the 20 × CT rating. This becomes apparent if the pickup level is
set above the nominal CT rating.
Before working on CTs, they MUST be short circuited.
Ground and sensitive ground CT inputs
One dedicated ground input is referred to throughout this manual as the Ground Current
or Sensitive Ground Current input. Before making ground connections, consider that the
relay automatically calculates the neutral (residual) current from the sum of the three
phase current phasors. The following figures show three possible ground connections (or
three possible sensitive ground connections).
The ground input (Terminals D8 and E8) is used in conjunction with a Zero Sequence CT as
source, or in the neutral of wye-connected source CTs. The ground current input can be
used to polarize the neutral directional element. When using the residual connection set
the GROUND CT PRIMARY setpoint to a value equal to the PHASE CT PRIMARY setpoint.
In cases where the relay is equipped with sensitive ground CT (terminals D8 and E8) the
sensitive ground current input is intended for use either with a CT in a source neutral of a
high-impedance grounded system, or on ungrounded systems. On ungrounded systems it
is connected residually with the phase current inputs. In this case, the SENSTV GND CT
PRIMARY setpoint should be programmed to a value equal to the PHASE CT PRIMARY
setpoint. The sensitive ground current input can be connected to a Zero Sequence CT for
increased sensitivity and accuracy when physically possible in the system.
The Sensitive Ground input must only be used on systems where the maximum ground
current does not exceed current input specifications.

Voltage inputs
The 350 relay has four channels for AC voltage inputs, each with an isolating transformer.
Voltage transformers up to a maximum 5000:1 ratio may be used. The nominal secondary
voltage must be in the 50 to 240 V range.The three phase inputs are designated as the “bus
voltage”. The Bus VT connections most commonly used, wye and delta (or open delta), are
shown in the typical wiring diagram.
NOTE:
If Delta VTs are used, the zero sequence voltage (V0) and neutral/sensitive ground
polarizing voltage (–V0) will be zero. Also, with the Delta VT connection, the phase-neutral
voltage cannot be measured and will not be displayed.
NOTE:
CAUTION:
The 350 relay can be applied to both metering and protection feeders with up to 550 kV
phase-to-phase voltage. Please ensure that the selected VT ratio and VT secondary do not
result in a primary voltage exceeding 550 kV.
The single phase input is designated as the “Aux VT Input”. The Aux VT input channel can be
connected for either phase-neutral voltage Van, Vbn, Vcn, or for phase-phase voltage Vab,
Vbc, Vca as shown below.
Figure 2-35: Auxiliary VT connections
Control power
Control power supplied to the relay must match the installed power supply range. If the
applied voltage does not match, damage to the unit may occur. All grounds MUST be
connected for safe, normal operation regardless of control power supply type.
The label found on the relay specifies its order code or model number. The installed power
supply’s operating range will be one of the following:
LO: 24 to 48 V DC (Range: 20 to 60 V DC)
HI: 125 to 250 V DC/120 to 240 V AC (Range: 84 to 250 V DC/60 to 300 V AC (50 and 60
Hz))
CAUTION:
The relay should be connected directly to the ground bus, using the shortest practical
path. A tinned copper, braided, shielding and bonding cable should be used. As a
minimum, 96 strands of number 34 AWG should be used. Belden catalog number 8660
is suitable.

A wet contact has one side connected to the positive terminal of an external DC power
supply. The other side of this contact is connected to the required contact input terminal. In
addition, the negative side of the external source must be connected to the relay’s DC
negative rail at Terminal C11. The maximum external source voltage for this arrangement
is 300 V DC.

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATIONELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
NOTE
Trip and Close output relays
The 350 relay is equipped with seven electromechanical output relays: two special relays
designed for Breaker trip and close (Relay 1 “Trip”, Relay 2 “Close”), four general purpose
relays (Auxiliary Relays 3 to 6), and a Critical Failure relay. The special purpose relays have
fixed operating characteristics and the general purpose relays can be configured by the
user.
Operation of the Trip and Close output relays is designed to be controlled by the state of
the circuit breaker as monitored by a 52a or 52b contact.
•The Trip and Close relays reset after the breaker is detected in a state corresponding
to the command. When a relay feature sends a command to one of these special
relays, it will remain operational until the requested change of breaker state is
confirmed by a breaker auxiliary contact and the initiating condition has reset.
•If the initiating feature resets, but the breaker does not change state, the output relay
will be reset after a default interval of 2 seconds.
•If neither of the breaker auxiliary contacts, 52a nor 52b, is programmed to a contact
input, the Trip Relay is de-energized after either the delay programmed in the Breaker
Failure feature, or a default interval of 100 ms after the initiating input resets. The
Close Relay is de-energized after 200 ms.
•If a delay is programmed for the Trip or Close contact seal-in time, then this delay is
added to the reset time. Note that the default setting for the seal-in time is 40 ms.

expires (if the Breaker Failure element is enabled), or 100
ms after the feature causing the trip resets. Close Relay
operates for 200 ms.
Breaker monitoring (Trip and Close coil monitoring) is performed by a built-in voltage
monitor on Form A output relays: #1 Trip, and #2 Close. The voltage monitor is connected
across each of the two Form A contacts, and the relay effectively detects healthy current
through the circuit. In order to do this, an external jumper must be connected between
terminals A2 and A3 for Trip coil monitoring, or/and B4, and B5 for Close coil monitoring.
As long as the current through the Voltage Monitor is above the threshold of the trickle
currents (see Technical Specification for Form A output relays), the circuit integrity for the
Trip (Close) coil is effectively normal. If the Trip (Close) coil circuit gets disconnected, or if in
general a high resistance is detected in the circuitry, a Trip (Close) alarm will be set and the
“ALARM” and “MAINTENANCE” LEDs will be on.
Example 1: The figures below show the two different connections of the breaker trip (close)
coil to the relay’s trip output #1 terminals (output #2 Close coil monitoring) for both no
voltage monitoring and voltage monitoring of the trip (close) circuit integrity.
NOTE:
To monitor the trip coil circuit integrity, use the relay terminals A2 and B3 to connect the
Trip coil, and provide a jumper between terminals A2 (optional voltage) and A3.

FASTPATH:
350 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL2–35
One two-wire RS485 port is provided. Up to 32 350 IEDs can be daisy-chained together on
a communication channel without exceeding the driver capability. For larger systems,
additional serial channels must be added. Commercially available repeaters can also be
used to add more than 32 relays on a single channel. Suitable cable should have a
characteristic impedance of 120 ohms (for example, Belden #9841) and total wire length
should not exceed 1200 meters (4000 ft.). Commercially available repeaters will allow for
transmission distances greater than 1200 meters.
Voltage differences between remote ends of the communication link are not uncommon.
For this reason, surge protection devices are internally installed across all RS485 terminals.
Internally, an isolated power supply with an optocoupled data interface is used to prevent
noise coupling.
To ensure that all devices in a daisy-chain are at the same potential, it is imperative that
the common terminals of each RS485 port are tied together and grounded only once, at
the master or at the 350 . Failure to do so may result in intermittent or failed
communications.
The source computer/PLC/SCADA system should have similar transient protection devices
installed, either internally or externally. Ground the shield at one point only, as shown in
the figure above, to avoid ground loops.
Correct polarity is also essential. The 350 IEDs must be wired with all the positive (+)
terminals connected together and all the negative (–) terminals connected together. Each
relay must be daisy-chained to the next one. Avoid star or stub connected configurations.
The last device at each end of the daisy-chain should be terminated with a 120 ohm ¼
watt resistor in series with a 1 nF capacitor across the positive and negative terminals.
Observing these guidelines will ensure a reliable communication system immune to
system transients.
