DR60
17
DR60-TM-EN-2A
3.2 Electrical Hazards
All personnel involved in installing, commissioning, or servicing
this equipment must be familiar with the correct working
procedures.
Consult the equipment documentation before installing,
commissioning, or servicing the equipment.
Always use the equipment as specified. Failure to do so will
jeopardize the protection provided by the equipment.
Removal of equipment panels or covers may
expose hazardous live parts. Do not touch until the
electrical power is removed. Take care when there
is unlocked access to the rear of the equipment.
Isolate the equipment before working on the
terminal strips.
Use a suitable protective barrier for areas with
restricted space, where there is a risk of electric
shock due to exposed terminals.
Disconnect power before disassembling. Disassembly of the
equipment may expose sensitive electronic circuitry. Take
suitable precautions against electrostatic voltage discharge (ESD)
to avoid damage to the equipment.
NEVER look into optical fibers or optical output connections.
Always use optical power meters to determine operation or signal
level.
Testing may leave capacitors charged to dangerous voltage levels.
Discharge capacitors by reducing test voltages to zero before
disconnecting test leads.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
Operate the equipment within the specified electrical and
environmental limits.
18
DR60-TM-EN-2A
Before cleaning the equipment, ensure that no connections are
energized. Use a lint free cloth dampened with clean water.
Integration of the equipment into systems shall not interfere with
its normal functioning.
The functioning of the device has been certified under the
circumstances described by the standards mentioned in
Technical Specifications chapter (item Type Tests). Usage of the
equipment in different conditions from the specified in this
manual might affect negatively its normal integrity.
The equipment shall have all their rear connectors attached even
if they are not being used, in order to keep their levels of ingress
protection as high as possible
Never manipulate liquid containers near the equipment even
when it is powered off.
Avoid modification to the wiring of panel when the system is
running.
VT circuits must never be left short circuited.
3.3 Fusing Requirements
A high rupture capacity (HRC) fuse type with a maximum current
rating of 10 Amps and a minimum dc rating of 250 V dc may be
used for the auxiliary supply (for example Red Spot type NIT or
TIA). Alternatively, a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) of type C,
10A rating, compliant with IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-3 may be
used.
Digital input circuits should be protected by a high rupture
capacity NIT or TIA fuse with maximum rating of 10 A, or
equivalent MCB as above. For safety reasons, current transformer
circuits must never be fused. Other circuits should be
appropriately fused to protect the wire used.
Reason devices contain an internal fuse for the power supply
which is only accessed by opening the product. This does not
remove the requirement for external fusing or use of an MCB as
previously mentioned. The ratings of the internal fuses are:
DR60 unit: 2 Amp, type T, 250V rating
DR60
19
DR60-TM-EN-2A
CTs must NOT be fused since open circuiting them may produce
lethal hazardous voltages.
3.4 Equipment Connections
Terminals exposed during installation, commissioning and
maintenance may present a hazardous voltage unless the
equipment is electrically isolated.
Tighten M3 clamping screws of heavy duty terminal block
connectors to a nominal torque of 1.0 Nm.
Tighten captive screws of header-type (Euro) terminal blocks to
0.5 Nm minimum and 0.6 Nm maximum.
Always use insulated crimp terminations for voltage and current
connections.
Always use the correct crimp terminal and tool according to the
wire size.
In order to maintain the equipment’s requirements for
protection against electric shock, other devices connected to the
DR60 shall have protective class equal or superior to Class I.
Watchdog (self-monitoring) contacts are provided to indicate
the health of the device on some products. We strongly
recommend that you hard wire these contacts into the
substation's automation system, for alarm purposes.
Earth the equipment with the supplied PCT (Protective
Conductor Terminal).
Do not remove the PCT.
The PCT is sometimes used to terminate cable screens. Always
check the PCT’s integrity after adding or removing such earth
connections.
The user is responsible for ensuring the integrity of any
protective conductor connections before carrying out any
other actions.
20
DR60-TM-EN-2A
The PCT connection must have low-inductance and be as short
as possible. For best EMC performance, ground the unit using
a 10 mm (0.4 inch) wide braided grounding strap.
All connections to the equipment must have a defined
potential. Connections that are pre-wired, but not used,
should be earthed, or connected to a common grouped
potential.
Pay extra attention to diagrams before wiring the equipment.
Always be sure that the connections are correct before
energizing the circuits.
3.5 Pre-energization Checklist
Check voltage rating/polarity (rating label/equipment
documentation).
Check CT circuit rating (rating label) and integrity of
connections.
Check protective fuse or miniature circuit breaker (MCB)
rating.
Check integrity of the PCT connection.
Check voltage and current rating of external wiring,
ensuring it is appropriate for the application.
3.6 Peripheral Circuitry
Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT
since the high voltage produced may be lethal to
personnel and could damage insulation. Short
the secondary of the line CT before opening any
connections to it.
Reason devices DO NOT feature any automatic CT shorting feature. Therefore,
external shorting of the CTs is mandatory. Check the equipment documentation
and wiring diagrams carefully.
DR60
21
DR60-TM-EN-2A
Where external components such as resistors or voltage
dependent resistors (VDRs) are used, these may present a
risk of electric shock or burns if touched.
Operation of computers and equipment connected to the
DR60 under environmental conditions such as temperature
and humidity that exceed the conditions specified in their
respective manuals can cause malfunctioning or even
irreversible damage to them or the nearby installation.
There might be situations in which the DR60 is operating
within its environmental operational range, but the
computers, equipment connected to them or nearby
equipment are operating outside their operational range.
That situation can cause malfunctioning and/or irreversible
damage to those devices. In that occasion the
communication to the Reason equipment might be
compromised but its recording, operational and safety
capacities will not be affected.
Take extreme care when using external test blocks and
test plugs such as the MMLG, MMLB and P990, as
hazardous voltages may be exposed. Ensure that CT
shorting links are in place before removing test plugs, to
avoid potentially lethal voltages.
3.7 Upgrading/Servicing
Do not insert or withdraw modules, PCBs or expansion
boards from the equipment while energized, as this
may result in damage to the equipment. Hazardous
live voltages would also be exposed, endangering
personnel.
Internal modules and assemblies can be heavy and may
have sharp edges. Take care when inserting or removing
modules into or out of the IED.
4 Decommissioning and Disposal
22
DR60-TM-EN-2A
Before decommissioning, completely isolate the
equipment power supplies (both poles of any dc supply).
The auxiliary supply input may have capacitors in
parallel, which may still be charged. To avoid electric
shock, discharge the capacitors using the external
terminals before decommissioning.
Avoid incineration or disposal to water courses. Dispose
of the equipment in a safe, responsible and
environmentally friendly manner, and if applicable, in
accordance with country-specific regulations.

Chapter 3: Design
This chapter provides information about the hardware design of the products.
1 Hardware Architecture
The DR60 is composed of up to 8 boards, from slot A to H. A very flexible number of
inputs and outputs can be achieved by the combination of the boards. The slot A is
reserved for power supply; Slot B for CPU, Ethernet and serial connection and IRIGB
synchronization input; Slots C and D are used for binary input/outputs and slots E to H
can be used either for binary I/O or analog inputs. The figure below illustrates the DR60
slots composition. For the complete list of board option, refer to the ordering option in
Chapter 1.
