IMPORTANT PROCEDURES CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED

1.1.3 Manual Organization

Reading a lengthy instruction manual on a new product is not a task most people enjoy. To speed things up, this introductory chapter provides guidelines for basic relay usability. Important wiring considerations and precautions discussed in Typical Wiring on page 3–7 should be observed for reliable operation. Detailed information regarding accuracy, output relay contact ratings, and so forth are detailed in Specifications on page 2–5. The remainder of this manual should be read and kept for reference to ensure maximum benefit from the 745 Transformer Protection System. For further information, please consult your local sales representative or the factory. Comments about new features or modifications for your specific requirements are welcome and encouraged.
Setpoints and actual values are indicated as follows in the manual:
A2 METERING  LOSS OF LIFE HOTTEST-SPOT WINDING TEMPERATURE
This ‘path representation’ illustrates the location of a specific actual value or setpoint with regards to its previous menus and sub-menus. In the example above, the HOTTEST-SPOT
WINDING TEMPERATURE actual value is shown to be an item in the LOSS OF LIFE sub-
menu, which itself is an item in the A2 METERING menu, which is an item of ACTUAL
VALUE S.
Sub-menu levels are entered by pressing the MESSAGE RIGHT or ENTER keys. When inside a submenu, the MESSAGE LEFT or ESCAPE key returns to the previous sub-menu. The MESSAGE UP and DOWN keys are used to scroll through the settings in a sub-menu. The display indicates which keys can be used at any given point.

CHANGING SETPOINTS CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED

1.3 Changing Setpoints

1.3.1 Introduction

There are several different classes of setpoints, distinguished by the way their values are displayed and edited. This section describes how to edit the values used by all setpoint classes.
Hardware and passcode security features are designed to provide protection against unauthorized setpoint changes. Since we will be programming new setpoints using the front panel keys, a hardware jumper must be installed across the setpoint access terminals (D9 and D10) on the back of the relay case. A keyswitch may also be used across these terminals to enable setpoint access. Attempts to enter a new setpoint via the front panel without this connection will be unsuccessful.

1.3.2 Using the HELP Key

Each numerical setpoint has its own minimum, maximum, and increment value associated with it. These parameters define what values are acceptable for a setpoint.
1. Select the
VOLTAGE
NOMINAL VT SECONDARY VOLTAGE: 120.0 V
2. Press HELP. The following context sensitive flash message will appear for several seconds. For the case of a numerical setpoint message, the HELP key displays the minimum, maximum, and step value.
Range: 60.0 to 120.0 by 0.1

1.3.3 Numerical Setpoints

The following two methods of editing and storing a numerical setpoint value are available.
1. 0 to 9 and the decimal key: The relay numeric keypad works the same as that of any electronic calculator. A number is entered one digit at a time. The left-most digit is entered first and the right-most digit is entered last. Pressing the ESCAPE key, before the ENTER key, returns the original value to the display.
2. VALUE keys: The VALUE UP key increments the displayed value, by the step value, up to the maximum value allowed. While at the maximum, pressing the VALUE UP key again will allow setpoint selection to continue from the minimum value. The VALUE DOWN key decrements the displayed value, by the step value, down to the minimum value. Again, continuing to press the VALUE DOWN key while at the minimum value will continue setpoint selection from the maximum value.

CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED CHANGING SETPOINTS
As an example, let’s set the nominal VT secondary voltage setpoint to 69.3 V. Press the appropriate numeric keys in the sequence ‘6 9 . 3‘. The display message will change as the digits are being entered.
NOMINAL VT SECONDARY VOLTAGE: 69.3 V
Editing changes are not registered until the ENTER key is pressed. Press the ENTER key to store the new value in memory. This flash message momentarily appears to confirmation the storing process. If 69.28 were entered, the value is automatically rounded to 69.3, since the step value for this setpoint is 0.1.
NEW SETPOINT HAS BEEN STORED

1.3.4 Enumeration Setpoints

Enumeration setpoints have data values which are part of a set, whose members are explicitly defined by a name. A set is comprised of two or more members.
Enumeration type values are changed using the VALUE keys. The VALUE UP key displays the next selection while the VALUE DOWN key displays the previous selection. As an example we may need to set the phase sequence to ACB. Press the VALUE keys until the proper selection is displayed.
Editing changes are not registered until ENTER is pressed, storing the new value in memory. This flash message momentarily appears to confirm the storing process.

1.3.5 Text Setpoints

Text setpoints have data values which are fixed in length, but user defined in character. They may be comprised of upper case letters, lower case letters, numerals, and a selection of special characters.
The editing and storing of a text value is accomplished with the use of the decimal, ENTER, VALUE, and ESCAPE keys. For example:
1. The name for output relay 3 should be more descriptive than the default value. For this
2. Press VALUE keys until the character “I” is displayed in the first position, then press the
PHASE SEQUENCE: ACB

example let us rename output relay as
INST DIFF TRIP. Press the decimal key and an
underscore (_) will appear at the first character position.
OUTPUT 3 NAME: T
rip 3
decimal key to store the character and advance the cursor. Change the second character to a “N” using the VALUE keys and save this change by pressing the decimal key again. Continue editing all the characters in the text until the string
INST DIFF TRIP
is entered. Note that a space is selected like a character. If a character is entered

1.4 Security

1.4.1 Installation

Note that the relay is defaulted to the “Not Programmed” state before it leaves the factory. This safeguards against the installation of a relay whose setpoints have not been entered. In addition, a relay in the “Not Programmed” state blocks signaling of any output relay, and turns off the In Service LED indicator.
Move to the

Chapter 2: Overview

Overview

2.1.1 Description

These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment nor provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with installation, operation, or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s purpose, the matter should be referred to the General Electric company.
To the extent required the products described herein meet applicable ANSI, IEEE, and NEMA standards; but no such assurance is given with respect to local codes and ordinances because they vary greatly.
The 745 Transformer Protection System™ is a high speed, multi-processor based, three­phase, two or three winding, transformer management relay intended for the primary protection and management of small, medium and large power transformers. The 745 combines percent differential, overcurrent, frequency, and overexcitation protection elements along with monitoring of individual harmonics, and total harmonic distortion (THD) in one economical package.
The relay provides a variety of adaptive relaying features:
Adaptive harmonic restraint which addresses the problem of false tripping during inrush
Adaptive time overcurrent elements which will adjust their pickup settings based on the calculated transformer capability when supplying load currents with high harmonic content
Multiple setpoint groups which allow the user to enter and dynamically select from up to four groups of relay settings to address the protection requirements of different power system configurations

INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
Dynamic CT ratio mismatch correction which monitors the on-load tap position and automatically corrects for CT ratio mismatch
FlexLogic™ which allows PLC style equations based on logic inputs and protection elements to be assigned to any of the 745 outputs.
The 745 also includes a powerful testing and simulation feature. This allows the protection engineer the ability to test the relay operation based on captured or computer generated waveform data which can be converted to a digitized format and downloaded into the 745’s simulation buffer for “playback”. A waveform capture function that records waveform data for fault, inrush, or alarm conditions is also provided.
The auto-configuration function eliminates the need for any special CT connections by having all CTs connected in wye.

Installation

3.1.1 Case Description

The 745 is packaged with a drawout relay and a companion case. The case provides mechanical protection for the drawout portion, and is used to make permanent electrical connections to external equipment. Where required, case connectors are fitted with mechanisms, such as automatic CT shorting, to allow the safe removal of the relay from an energized panel. There are no electronic components in the case.

DRAWOUT CASE CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION

3.1.2 Panel Cutout

A 745 can be mounted alone or adjacent to another 469/489/745/750/760 unit on a standard 19” rack panel. Panel cutout dimensions for both conditions are as shown. When planning the location of your panel cutout, ensure provision is made for the front door to swing open without interference to or from adjacent equipment.
FIGURE 3–2: Single 745 relay panel cutout
FIGURE 3–3: Double 745 relay panel cutout

3.1.3 Case Mounting

Before mounting the 745 unit in the supporting panel, remove the relay portion from its case, as described in the next section. From the front of the panel, slide the empty case into the cutout. To ensure the front bezel sits flush with the panel, apply pressure to the bezel’s front while bending the retaining tabs 90°. These tabs are located on the sides and

bottom of the case and appear as shown in the illustration. After bending all tabs, the case will be securely mounted so that its relay can be inserted. The unit is now ready for panel wiring.
FIGURE 3–4: Case mounting

3.1.4 Unit Withdrawal and Insertion

TURN OFF CONTROL POWER BEFORE DRAWING OUT OR RE-INSERTING THE RELAY TO PREVENT MALOPERATION!
If an attempt is made to install a unit into a non-matching case, the mechanical key will prevent full insertion of the unit. Do not apply strong force in the following step or damage may result.
To remove the unit from the case:
1. Open the cover by pulling the upper or lower corner of the right side, which will rotate
about the hinges on the left.
2. Release the locking latch, located below the locking handle, by pressing upward on
the latch with the tip of a screwdriver.
FIGURE 3–5: Press latch to disengage handle
745 TRANSFORMER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 3–3
Page 36
DRAWOUT CASE CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
3. Grasp the locking handle in the center and pull firmly, rotating the handle up from the bottom of the unit until movement ceases.
FIGURE 3–6: Rotate handle to stop position
4. Once the handle is released from the locking mechanism, the unit can freely slide out of the case when pulled by the handle. It may sometimes be necessary to adjust the handle position slightly to free the unit.
FIGURE 3–7: Slide unit out of case
To insert the unit into the case:
1. Raise the locking handle to the highest position.
2. Hold the unit immediately in front of the case and align the rolling guide pins (near the hinges of the locking handle) to the guide slots on either side of the case.
3–4 745 TRANSFORMER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Page 37
CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION DRAWOUT CASE
3. Slide the unit into the case until the guide pins on the unit have engaged the guide
slots on either side of the case.
4. Grasp the locking handle from the center and press down firmly, rotating the handle
from the raised position toward the bottom of the unit.
5. When the unit is fully inserted, the latch will be heard to click, locking the handle in the
final position.
To prevent unauthorized removal of the drawout unit, a wire lead seal can be installed in the slot provided on the handle as shown below. With this seal in place, the drawout unit cannot be removed. A passcode or setpoint access jumper can be used to prevent entry of setpoints but still allow monitoring of actual values. If access to the front panel controls must be restricted, a separate seal can be installed on the outside of the cover to prevent it from being opened.

DRAWOUT CASE CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
CAUTION

3.1.5 Ethernet connection

If using the 745 with the Ethernet 10Base-T option, ensure that the network cable is disconnected from the rear RJ45 connector before removing the unit from the case. This prevents any damage to the connector.
The unit may also be removed from the case with the network cable connector still attached to the rear RJ45 connector, provided that there is at least 16 inches of network cable available when removing the unit from the case. This extra length allows the network cable to be disconnected from the RJ45 connector from the front of the switchgear panel. Once disconnected, the cable can be left hanging safely outside the case for re-inserting the unit back into the case.
The unit may then be re-inserted by first connecting the network cable to the units' rear RJ45 connector (see step 3 of Unit Withdrawal and Insertion on page 3–3).
Ensure that the network cable does not get caught inside the case while sliding in the unit. This may interfere with proper insertion to the case terminal blocks and damage the cable.
FIGURE 3–9: Ethernet cable connection
To ensure optimal response from the relay, the typical connection timeout should be set as indicated in the following table:

3.2.4 Phase Sequence and Transformer Polarity

For the correct operation of many relay features, the phase sequence and instrument transformer polarities shown on the typical wiring diagram must be followed. Note the markings shown with all instrument transformer connections. When the connections adhere to this drawing, the relay will operate properly.

3.2.5 Current Transformer Inputs

The 745 has eight or eleven channels for AC current inputs, each with an isolating transformer and an automatic shorting mechanism that acts when the relay is withdrawn from its case. There are no internal ground connections on the current inputs. Current transformers with 1 to 50000 A primaries may be used.
The 745 Relay has inputs for either two or three transformer windings (specified at the time of ordering) and for two ground current inputs, G1/2 and G2/3. Refer to the wiring diagrams below for details. Upon transformer type selection, the ground inputs are associated to one or another winding under the following conditions:
1. The ground input settings will be shown in the winding configuration for the transformer type selections associated with a ground input.
2. When a 2-winding transformer is selected, ground inputs are enabled, on both, and are pre-assigned. G1/2 is assigned to winding 1, and G2/3 is assigned to winding 2.
3. When a 3-winding transformer is selected, both ground inputs are enabled, and are associated with the windings via the following rules (see table 3-2):
• The 50G function is enabled for all connection scenarios (ie: delta and wye).
• Flexibility is provided to the user in the case of a 3-winding transformer, so the user
can assign G1/2 and G2/3 Ground inputs to any two of the three available windings.
4. Robustness, built into the relay, will not allow the user to assign a ground input to more than one winding. In the EnerVista 745 software, a flag informs the user with the text: "Ground CT Input ’G#/#’ has already been selected for another winding". On the relay firmware, "Input Function is Already Assigned" text is displayed.
The following table shows the ground inputs use for typical transformer setups:

CAUTION
Verify that the relay’s nominal 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.
The exact placement of a zero-sequence CT so that ground fault current will be detected is shown below. Twisted pair cabling on the zero-sequence CT is recommended.
Note
IMPORTANT: The relay will correctly measure up to 46 times the current input nominal rating. Time overcurrent curves become horizontal lines for currents above the 46 × CT rating.
FIGURE 3–13: Zero-sequence (core balance) CT installation

3.2.6 AC Voltage Input

The 745 has one voltage divider type input for AC voltages. There are no internal fuses or ground connections. Voltage transformers up to a maximum 5000:1 ratio may be used. The nominal secondary voltage must be in the 60 to 120 V range.

3.2.7 Logic Inputs

External contacts can be connected to the 16 logic inputs. As shown, these contacts can be either dry or wet. It is also possible to use a combination of both contact types.
A dry contact has one side connected to terminal D11. This is the +32 V DC voltage rail. The other side is connected to the required logic input terminal. When a dry contact closes, a
2.2 mA current flows through the associated circuit.
A wet contact has one side connected to the positive terminal of an external DC power supply. The other side is connected to the required logic input terminal. In addition, the negative side of the external source must be connected to the relay DC negative rail at terminal D12. The maximum external source voltage for this arrangement is 300 V DC.
Correct polarity must be observed for all logic input connections or equipment damage may result.

WARNING
FIGURE 3–14: Dry and wet contact connections

3.2.8 Control Power

The label found on the left side of the relay specifies its order code or model number. The installed power supply operating range will be one of the following.
LO: 25 to 60 V DC or 20 to 48 V AC HI: 88 to 300 V DC or 70 to 265 V AC
Ensure the applied control voltage matches the requirements of the relay’s switching power supply. For example, the HI power supply will work with any DC voltage from 88 to 300 V, or any AC voltage from 70 to 265 V. The internal fuse may blow if the applied voltage exceeds this range.
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.
FIGURE 3–15: Control power connection
Extensive filtering and transient protection are built into the 745 to ensure proper operation in harsh industrial environments. Transient energy must be conducted back to the source through the filter ground terminal. A separate safety ground terminal is provided for dielectric strength (hi-pot) testing.
745 TRANSFORMER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 3–15

TYPICAL WIRING CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION

3.2.9 Analog Input

Terminals A1 (+) and A2 (–) are provided for the input of a current signal, from one of the following: 0 to 1 mA, 0 to 5 mA, 0 to 20 mA, or 4 to 20 mA transducer outputs. This current signal can represent any external quantity, such as temperature, current or voltage. Be sure to observe polarity markings for correct operation. Both terminals are clamped to within 36 volts of ground with surge protection. As such, common mode voltages should not exceed this limit. Shielded wire, with only one end of the shield grounded, is recommended to minimize noise effects. The A2 (–) terminal must be connected to the A5 (analog output common) terminal at the 745.

3.2.10 Tap Position Input

Terminals A3 (+) and A4 (–) are provided to monitor the position of an onload tap changer from a stepped-resistance position indicator device. Terminal A3 is connected internally to a 4.3 mA current source. This current is used to measure the value of the external resistance. The 745 uses the measured resistance value to calculate the tap position. See Dynamic CT Ratio Mismatch Correction on page 5–6 for more details on the tap position input.
The maximum total resistance the tap changer input can measure is 5.1 kΩ. For example, the maximum resistance increment per tap for a 33-position tap changer should not exceed 151 Ω.

3.2.11 RTD Driver/Sensor

Terminals B10 (RTD hot), B11 (RTD compensation) and B12 (RTD return) provide for the connection of various types of RTD devices. This connection may be made using two or three wires to the RTD. Terminal B10 is connected internally to a 5 mA current source for energizing the RTD. Terminal B11 is connected internally to a 5 mA current source for the purpose of cancelling out the resistance of the wires connecting the RTD to the 745. Terminal B12 is the return path for the two current sources.
In the three-wire connection scheme, the connection from terminal B11 to B12 is made at the RTD. The three-wire connection scheme compensates for the resistance of the wiring between the 745 and the RTD.
In the two-wire connection scheme, the connection from terminal B11 to B12 is made at the terminal block on the rear of the 745. This connection must not be omitted. The two­wire connection scheme does not compensate for the resistance of the wiring between the 745 and the RTD.

3.2.12 Output Relays

Eight output relays are provided with the 745. Output relays 2 through 5 have form-A contacts while output relays 6 to 8 and the self-test relay, have form-C contacts. Since output relays 2 to 5 are intended for operating a breaker trip coil, the form-A contacts have higher current ratings than the form-C contacts. Note that the operating mode of the self­test relay is fixed, while the other relays can be assigned through the Protection Elements menu, or programmed by the user via the FlexLogic™ feature.

3.2.13 Solid State Trip Output

A high-speed solid state (SCR) output is also provided. This output is intended for applications where it is necessary to key a communications channel.

3.2.14 Analog Outputs

The 745 provides 7 analog output channels whose full scale range can be set to one of the following ranges: 0 to 1 mA; 0 to 5 mA; 0 to 10 mA; 0 to 20 mA; and 4 to 20 mA. Each analog output channel can be programmed to represent one of the parameters measured by the relay. For details, see Analog Outputs 1 to 7 on page 5–43.
As shown in the typical wiring diagram, the analog output signals originate from Terminals A6 to A12 and share A5 as a common return. Output signals are internally isolated and allow connection to devices which sit at a different ground potential. Each analog output terminal is clamped to within 36 V of ground. To minimize the effects of noise, external connections should be made with shielded cable and only one end of the shield should be grounded.
If a voltage output is required, a burden resistor must be connected at the input of the external measuring device. Ignoring the input impedance, the burden resistance is:
If a 5 V full scale output is required with a 0 to 1 mA output channel, R 5KΩ. Similarly, for a 0 to 5 mA channel this resistor would be 1 KΩ; for a 0 to 10 mA channel, this resistor would be 500 Ω; and for a 4 to 20 mA channel this resistor would be 250 Ω.

3.2.15 RS485/RS422 Communications

The 745 provides the user with two rear communication ports which may be used simultaneously. Both implement a subset of the AEG Modicon Modbus protocol as outlined in publication GEK-106636A: 745 Communications Guide.

OR AT THE SR RELAY ONLY
814793A4.CDR
The COM1 port can be used in the two-wire RS485 mode or the four-wire RS422 mode, but will not operate in both modes at the same time. In RS485 mode, data transmission and reception are accomplished over a single twisted pair with transmit and receive data alternating over the same two wires. These wires should be connected to the terminals marked RS485. The RS422 mode uses the COM1 terminals designated as RS485 for receive lines, and the COM1 terminals designated as RS422 for transmit lines. The COM2 port is intended for the two wire RS485 mode only. Through the use of these ports, continuous monitoring and control from a remote computer, SCADA system or PLC is possible.
To minimize errors from noise, the use of shielded twisted-pair wire is recommended. Correct polarity should also be observed. For instance, the relays must be connected with all B1 terminals (labeled COM1 RS485+) connected together, and all B2 terminals (labeled COM1 RS485–) connected together. Terminal B3 (labeled COM1 RS485 COM) should be connected to the common wire inside the shield. To avoid loop currents, the shield should be grounded at one point only. Each relay should also be daisy-chained to the next in the link. A maximum of 32 relays can be connected in this manner without exceeding driver capability. For larger systems, additional serial channels must be added. It is also possible to use commercially available repeaters to include more than 32 relays on a single channel. Star or stub connections should be avoided entirely.
Lightning strikes and ground surge currents can cause large momentary voltage differences between remote ends of the communication link. For this reason, surge protection devices are internally provided at both communication ports. An isolated power supply with an optocoupled data interface also acts to reduce noise coupling. To ensure maximum reliability, all equipment should have similar transient protection devices installed.

4.1.5 Program Port

Use the front panel program port for RS232 communications with the 745. As described in RS232 Front Panel Program Port on page 3–19, all that is required is a connection between the relay and a computer running EnerVista 745 Setup. For continuous monitoring of multiple relays, use the COM1 RS485/RS422 port or the COM2 RS485 port.

4.1.6 Keypad

4.1.6.1 Description
The 745 display messages are organized into main menus, pages, and sub-pages. There are three main menus labeled setpoints, actual values, and target messages.
Pressing the MENU key followed by the MESSAGE DOWN key scrolls through the three main menu headers, which appear in sequence as follows:
SETPOINTS []
ACTUAL VALUES []
TARGET MESSAGES []
Pressing the MESSAGE RIGHT or ENTER key from these main menu pages will display the corresponding menu page. Use the MESSAGE keys to scroll through the page headers.
When the display shows
SETPOINTS, pressing the MESSAGE RIGHT or ENTER key will display
the page headers of programmable parameters (referred to as setpoints in the manual). When the display shows ACTUAL VALUES, pressing the MESSAGE RIGHT or ENTER key displays the page headers of measured parameters (referred to as actual values in the manual). When the display shows TARGET MESSAGES, pressing the MESSAGE RIGHT or ENTER key displays the page headers of event messages or alarm conditions.
Each page is broken down further into logical sub-pages. The MESSAGE keys are used to navigate through the sub-pages. A summary of the setpoints and actual values can be found in the chapters 5 and 6, respectively.
The ENTER key is dual purpose. It is used to enter the sub-pages and to store altered setpoint values into memory to complete the change. The MESSAGE RIGHT key can also be used to enter sub-pages but not to store altered setpoints.
The ESCAPE key is also dual purpose. It is used to exit the sub-pages and to cancel a setpoint change. The MESSAGE LEFT key can also be used to exit sub-pages and to cancel setpoint changes.
The VALUE keys are used to scroll through the possible choices of an enumerated setpoint. They also decrement and increment numerical setpoints. Numerical setpoints may also be entered through the numeric keypad.
The RESET key resets any latched conditions that are not presently active. This includes resetting latched output relays, latched Trip LEDs, breaker operation failure, and trip coil failure.

Page 59
CHAPTER 4: INTERFACES HARDWARE INTERFACE
The MESSAGE keys scroll through any active conditions in the relay. Diagnostic messages are displayed indicating the state of protection and monitoring elements that are picked up, operating, or latched. When the Message LED is on, there are messages to be viewed with the MENU key by selecting target messages as described earlier.
4.1.6.2 Entering alphanumeric text
Text setpoints have data values that are fixed in length but user-defined in character. They may be comprised of upper case letters, lower case letters, numerals, and a selection of special characters. The editing and storing of a text value is accomplished with the use of the decimal, VALUE, and ENTER keys.
1. Move to message
FUNCTION
, and scrolling with the VALUE keys, select “Enabled”. The relay will display
S3 LOGIC INPUTS LOGIC INPUTS LOGIC INPUT 1 INPUT 1
the following message:
INPUT 1 FUNCTION: Enabled
2. Press the MESSAGE DOWN key twice to view the
INPUT NAME setpoint. The name of
this user-defined input will be changed in this example from the generic “Logic Input
1” to something more descriptive.
3. If an application is to be using the relay as a transformer monitor, it may be more
informative to rename this input “Tx. Monitor”. Press decimal to enter the text editing
mode. The first character will appear underlined as follows:
INPUT 1 NAME: Logic Input 1
4. Press the VALUE keys until the character “T” is displayed in the first position. Now press
the decimal key to store the character and advance the cursor to the next position.
Change the second character to a “x” in the same manner. Continue entering
characters in this way until all characters of the text “Tx. Monitor” are entered. Note
that a space is selected like a character. If a character is entered incorrectly, press the
decimal key repeatedly until the cursor returns to the position of the error. Re-enter
the character as required. Once complete, press the ENTER key to remove the solid
cursor and view the result. Once a character is entered, by pressing the ENTER key, it is
automatically saved in Flash Memory, as a new setpoint.
INPUT 1 NAME: Tx. Monitor
5. The 745 does not have '+' or '–' keys. Negative numbers may be entered in one of two
manners.
Immediately pressing one of the VALUE keys causes the setpoint to scroll through
its range including any negative numbers.
After entering at least one digit of a numeric setpoint value, pressing the VALUE
keys changes the sign of the value where applicable.

4.1.7 Setpoint Entry

To store any setpoints, terminals D9 and D10 (access terminals) must be shorted (a keyswitch may be used for security). There is also a setpoint passcode feature that restricts access to setpoints. The passcode must be entered to allow the changing of setpoint
745 TRANSFORMER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 4–5
Page 60
HARDWARE INTERFACE CHAPTER 4: INTERFACES
values. A passcode of “0” effectively turns off the passcode feature - in this case only the access jumper is required for changing setpoints. If no key is pressed for 5 minutes, access to setpoint values will be restricted until the passcode is entered again. To prevent setpoint access before the 5 minutes expires, the unit may be turned off and back on, the access jumper may be removed, or the
SETPOINT ACCESS setpoint may be changed to
“Restricted”. The passcode cannot be entered until terminals D9 and D10 (access terminals) are shorted. When setpoint access is allowed, the Setpoint Access LED indicator on the front of the 745 will be lit.
Setpoint changes take effect immediately, even when transformer is running. However, changing setpoints while the transformer is running is not recommended as any mistake may cause a nuisance trip.
The following procedure may be used to access and alter setpoints. This specific example refers to entering a valid passcode to allow access to setpoints if the passcode was “745”.
1. Press the MENU key to access the header of each menu, which will be displayed in the following sequence:
SETPOINTS []
ACTUAL VALUES []
TARGET MESSAGES []
2. Press the MENU key until the display shows the header of the setpoints menu, then press the MESSAGE RIGHT or ENTER key to display the header for the first setpoints page. The set point pages are numbered, have an 'S' prefix for easy identification and have a name which gives a general idea of the settings available in that page. Pressing the MESSAGE keys will scroll through all the available setpoint page headers. Setpoint page headers look as follows:
SETPOINTS []
S1 745 SETUP
3. To enter a given setpoints page, press the MESSAGE RIGHT or ENTER key. Press the MESSAGE keys to scroll through sub-page headers until the required message is reached. The end of a page is indicated by the message of a page is indicated by the message
TOP OF PAGE.
END OF PAGE. The beginning
4. Each page is broken further into subgroups. Press MESSAGE UP or DOWN to cycle through subgroups until the desired subgroup appears on the screen. Press the MESSAGE RIGHT or ENTER key to enter a subgroup.
PASSCODE []
5. Each sub-group has one or more associated setpoint messages. Press the MESSAGE UP or DOWN keys to scroll through setpoint messages until the desired message appears.
ENTER PASSCODE FOR ACCESS:
4–6 745 TRANSFORMER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Page 61
CHAPTER 4: INTERFACES HARDWARE INTERFACE
6. The majority of setpoints are changed by pressing the VALUE keys until the desired
value appears, and then pressing ENTER. Numeric setpoints may also be entered through the numeric keys (including decimals). If the entered setpoint is out of range, the original setpoint value reappears. If the entered setpoint is out of step, an adjusted value will be stored (e.g. 101 for a setpoint that steps 95, 100, 105 is stored as 100). If a mistake is made entering the new value, pressing ESCAPE returns the setpoint to its original value. Text editing is a special case described in detail in Entering alphanumeric text on page 4–5. Each time a new setpoint is successfully stored, a message will flash on the display stating
NEW SETPOINT HAS BEEN STORED.
7. Press the 4, 8, and 9 keys, then press ENTER. The following flash message is displayed:
NEW SETPOINT HAS BEEN STORED
and the display returns to:
SETPOINT ACCESS: PERMITTED
8. Press ESCAPE or MESSAGE LEFT to exit the subgroup. Pressing ESCAPE or MESSAGE
LEFT numerous times will always return the cursor to the top of the page.

4.1.8 Diagnostic Messages

Diagnostic messages are automatically displayed for any active conditions in the relay such as trips, alarms, or asserted logic inputs. These messages provide a summary of the present state of the relay. The Message LED flashes when there are diagnostic messages available; press the MENU key until the relay displays MESSAGE RIGHT key, followed by the MESSAGE DOWN key, to scroll through the messages.

4.1.9 Flash Messages

Flash messages are warning, error, or general information messages displayed in response to certain key presses. The length of time these messages remain displayed can be programmed in factory default flash message time is 4 seconds.

The 745 relay has a considerable number of programmable settings (setpoints) that makes it extremely flexible. The setpoints have been grouped into a number of pages as shown below. If using the EnerVista 745 Setup software and not connected to a relay, you may have to select the File > Properties menu item and set the correct options for your relay.

OVERVIEW CHAPTER 5: SETPOINTS

5.1.2 Setpoint entry

Prior to commissioning the 745 relay, setpoints defining transformer characteristics, inputs, output relays, and protection settings must be entered, via one of the following methods:
Any of these methods can be used to enter the same information. A computer, however, makes entry much easier. Files can be stored and downloaded for fast, error free entry when a computer is used. Settings files can be prepared and stored on disk without the need to connect to a relay.
All setpoint messages are illustrated and described in blocks throughout this chapter. The
745 relay leaves the factory with setpoints programmed to default values, and it is these values that are shown in all the setpoint message illustrations. Some of these factory
default values can be left unchanged.

• Front panel, using the keypad and display.
• Front panel RS232, rear terminal RS485/RS422, or Ethernet communication ports,
and a portable computer running the EnerVista 745 Setup software or a SCADA system running user-written software.
There are many 745 setpoints that must be entered for the relay to function correctly. In order to safeguard against installation when these setpoints have not been entered, the 745 does not allow signaling of any output relay. In addition, the In Service LED is off and the Self-Test Error LED on until the is set to “Programmed”. This setpoint is defaulted to “Not Programmed” when the relay leaves the factory. The appears until the 745 is put in the programmed state:
Messages may vary somewhat from those illustrated because of installed options. Also, some messages associated with disabled features (or optional features which have not been ordered) are hidden. These messages are shown with a shaded message box.
Keypad entry: See Using the Relay on page 1–3 for details on maneuvering
through the messages, viewing actual values, and changing setpoints.
Computer entry: Setpoint values are grouped together on a screen in the
EnerVista 745 Setup software. The data is organized in a system of menus. See EnerVista Software Interface on page 4–8 for details.
SCADA entry: Details of the complete communication protocol for reading and
writing setpoints are given in chapters 8 and 9. A programmable SCADA system connected to the RS485/RS422 terminals can make use of communication commands for remote setpoint programming, monitoring, and control.
