2.1 Protections in general
Within this chapter the general theory of protection functions is described. For clear understanding several time
characteristics for different scenarios are presented.
Default values
Default values are presented as bold.
Example:
Table 2 Example of default parameter setting.
Protection operation range
Fault is detected when monitored value exceeds the
chosen threshold (pickup value). At that point the
protection enters into protection operation range or
fault area. To prevent unwanted switching a hysteresis
characteristic is introduced. Drop-out value is set
relative to pickup value.
When the monitored value enters the protection
operating range the protections picks up. On the other
hand when the value falls below the operating range the
protection drops or resets.
Protection operation range is shown on Figure 2.1.
short period of time. It is usually used when very long
time characteristics are used. In case the protection
trips, drop out delay is not accounted for and other
means of delaying trip signal are used.
Figure 2.2: Pickup signal and Trip signal when fault duration is
shorter than trip delay.
2.1.2.1 Pickup logic
The pickup signal indicates that monitored value
exceeded the set value and indicates that a fault
occurred (Figure 2.2). The pickup delay is intended for
fault signalling stabilization to prevent the short-lived
disturbances in the measuring part of the system from
being reported as faults (Figure 2.4).
Figure 2.1: Protection operation range - fault area.
Example: Nominal current of protected element I
set to 300 A, pickup value is set to 1,1 I
is 0,95 Ip. The protection will pick up when current
exceeds 330 A. It will drop out when the current drops
below 313,5 A.
Operational scenario is illustrated on Figure 2.2. Dropout delay prevents the timer of protection function to reset in case the fault falls below the pickup value for a

Fault is not present anymore, the drop-out

yet or

already set or

Figure 2.4: Fault confirmation.
2.1.2.2 Trip logic
The Trip signal is intended for opening of circuit breaker,
which eliminates faulty element from power system.
Majority of faults have transient character and
disappear spontaneously. The duration of such faults is
relatively short. In order to avoid unnecessary opening
of circuit breaker the Trip signal can be delayed. Among
others the delaying of Trip signal may be used to ensure
selectivity along the power system network. The delay is
set with Trip delay parameter. In case the protection is
blocked the Trip signal will not set.
The Trip is set (Figure 2.5):
When a fault is detected and
when the pickup signal is stated and
trip delay time runs out and
no blocking is present.
Figure 2.5: Trip set logic.
Trip signal drops:
when the pickup drops or Blocking appears
When the protection trips there are some particular
delays on detection and trip execution levels. Several
milliseconds can pass during transfer of the signal to
external output relay and forward to the circuit breaker
switch of the circuit. The compensation of lost time is
solved with default value.
2.1.2.3 Blocking
Function is blocked when any pickup Block input is set. It can be set through digital input port or it can be set internally in
combination with different functions. When the protection is blocked the pickup signal drops and pickup blocked signal is
stated. Consequently after the pickup signal drops the Trip delay timer resets. After the blocking is reset and if the fault is
still present the protection function starts again. Protection operation with blocking signal turned on for a certain amount
of time is shown on Figure 2.6.

Time characteristics
The main purpose of inverse time characteristics (IDMT
– Inverse Definite Minimum Time) is to enable shorter
time of protection trip when the fault current amplitude
is greater. At a set fault value the protection must trip in
time that can be read out from a characteristic. The
operation time depends on the measured current value
in accordance with standards IEC 60255-3 and IEEE C-
37112.
The available area of inverse time characteristic is
defined in a range between 1,1 and 20 Ip, where Ip
stands for pickup value. Amplitudes above 20 Ip have an
equal trip delay as the amplitude at 20 Ip. Amplitudes
from 1,1 Ip and lower have an equal trip delay as the
amplitude at 1,1 Ip.
The type of time characteristic can be chosen with the
mode parameter. It is necessary to set the pickup value
and IDMT coefficient parameters. Values are used with
all types of time characteristics. The IDMT coefficient
factor defines the time delay level. Lower values
indicate faster operation at equal fault values.
The fault current amplitude is not always constant and
can change during fault duration. For this reason the
algorithm dynamically integrates parts of time during
the fault according to particular characteristic and when
the sum reaches the switch off limit the protection trips.

2.1.3.4 Graphs of inverse characteristics
Graphs below represent time to trip depending on current and user defined IDMT setting for each of the inverse time
characteristics.
Overcurrent protection is one of the basic functions of FPC 200 numerical relays. It protects the feeder or other elements
of the power system from overcurrent when fault occurs. It comprises of various time-delayed characteristics. Protective
function includes Inrush restraint [2.2.5] and Cold load pickup (CLP) protection.
2.2.1.1 Functionality
Overcurrent protection is used as non-directional time
delayed overcurrent and short-circuit protection. It picks
up when current in one, two or three phases exceeds
the set threshold. The function can be enabled or
disabled through corresponding menu. The trip time
characteristics can be selected to be Instantaneous,
definite time (DT) or inverse definite minimum time
(IDMT). When instantaneous operation mode is selected
the trip signal is stated as the DT characteristic. The
settings of this function are applied to each of the three
phases to produce pickup and trip signals per each
phase.
Several overcurrent protection instances with different
settings can run independently at the same time.
The selection of pickup value, pickup delay as well as
drop-out ratio and drop-out delay helps the user to fine
tune the protection according to the project
specifications.

A temporary increased starting current can appear
when energizing feeders with loads that had a long zero
voltage period (e.g. air-conditioning systems, heating
installations, motors...). Its value can be up to several
times higher than the nominal current. To avoid
unwanted protection operation the pickup limit has to
be raised temporarily. The function is set with
parameter Enable. It triggers through the activation of
corresponding digital input or when current raises

Earth fault overcurrent protection is one of the basic functions of FPC 200 numerical relay. It comprises of various timedelayed characteristics. Protective function includes CLP and inhibition by Inrush restraint [2.2.5] function.
2.2.2.1 Functionality
Earth fault overcurrent function is used as nondirectional earth fault protection. Pickup value of this
function is normally set lower than pickup value of
phase overcurrent protection. Protection picks up when
the earth fault current exceeds the set threshold value.
The function can be enabled or disabled through
corresponding menu. Trip time characteristics can be
selected to be Instantaneous, Definite time (DT) or
Inverse definite minimum time (IDMT). When
instantaneous operation mode is selected the trip signal
is stated as the DT characteristic.
Several earth fault protection instances with different
settings can run independently at the same time.
The selection of pickup value, pickup delay as well as
drop-out ratio and drop-out delay helps the user to fine

times higher than the nominal current. To avoid
unwanted protection operation the pickup limit has to
be raised temporarily. The function is set with
parameter Enable. It triggers only when CB Close
command is executed manually.

2.2.2.2 Measurements
Earth fault current is acquired directly through analog
measurement or calculated.
Sensitive current input can be selected for direct earth
fault measurement. When sensitive analog input Ie is
not present earth current 3I0 is calculated using phase
currents analog measurements.
The dynamic pickup value changeover is common to all
overcurrent elements. With inverse characteristics, the
CLP influences only the fault detection limit, whereas
the time calculation of the selected inverse
characteristic is not affected.

Uneven distribution of currents is caused by asymmetrical loads, single or two phase earth faults, line disconnections or
irregular switching operations. Negative sequence/unbalance overcurrent protection function calculates negative
sequence current of symmetrical components in three phase system.
2.2.3.1 Functionality
Function is used for detecting unbalanced loads in the
power system. Negative sequence value is defined by
the asymmetry of power system. Asymmetrical faults
selectivity is achieved by considering negative sequence
value.
In order to prevent malfunction of the protection and to
achieve better selectivity additional operational
conditions must be applied:
All phase currents have to be below the set
Maximum current value and
At least one phase current has to be above the
set Minimum current value
Protection selectivity is further improved with trip delay
time value set higher than the one set in main
protections (e.g. Overcurrent protection).
The trip time characteristics can be selected to be
Instantaneous, definite time (DT) or inverse definite
minimum time (IDMT). When instantaneous operation
mode is selected the trip signal is stated as the DT
characteristic with zero trip delay parameter.
The selection of pickup value, pickup delay as well as

Inrush restraint
Inrush restraint function is a blocking function. The function can block overcurrent or earth fault overcurrent protection
from operating for pre-defined period of time.
2.2.6.1 Functionality
Transformer inrush current includes high 2nd harmonic
component. The Inrush restraint function is based on
evaluation of 2nd harmonic component present in the
inrush current. Inrush current detection is set for each
monitored current separately as defined in Table 16.
When transformer is energized high amount of 2
nd
harmonic component is present. In order to prevent
unwanted tripping Inrush restraint function can be used.
Another example is in combination with 50N/51N
protection function. When large object (e.g.
Transformer) is energized large amount of transients are
present. Because of that a large zero sequence can be
calculated which can trigger unwanted tripping of
50N/51N protection function. To once again prevent
unwanted tripping Inrush restraint should be used.
In order for inrush restraint to inhibit desired protection
its output should be assigned in parameter Inrush
restraint source which is present in all types of
overcurrent protection [2.2.1, 2.2.2].

Machine thermal overload protection (MTOP) is designed to protect machines with different heating and cooling constant
against thermal overload. The function estimates temperature of the object according to measured phase currents its
characteristics and ambient temperature.
2.5.2.1 Functionality
The algorithm calculates the relative temperature of
protected device based on current measurement. The
temperature is calculated for each phase separately and
only highest current is displayed. The monitored value

In order to make the calculation of time to trip possible,
the heating and cooling time constant parameters must
be set. Information about the heating constant for
particular machine can be found in device tables or
acquired from the manufacturer of the protected
equipment. For passive cooling machines, the cooling constant is equal to the heating constant.

Temperature monitoring - ANSI code 38/49T
Temperature monitoring is associated with additional external module including up to 8 resistance temperature detectors
(RTDs). Correct external module connection is required for protection to perform as specified.
2.5.3.1 Functionality
Temperature monitoring is a function, used as
temperature dependent protection. Alarm signal is
stated when measured temperature exceeds the
selected alarm threshold. Trip signal of function is set
when measured temperature exceeds the selected trip
threshold. For each RTD there are separate function
settings.
The function operation can be enabled or disabled
individually for each RTD.
2.5.3.3 Delay
To ensure correct operation of function an individual
measurement needs to exceed desired threshold of
alarm or trip at least twice in a row.
2.5.3.4 Block of the protection
In addition the individual protection trip exhibits pulse
type if connected to trip relay [4.2.4.5.7, relay mapping
section], to ensure correct CBFP [2.6.1.10] functionality.
Figure 2.33: Temperature monitor setting as seen on HMI.
2.5.3.2 Measurement
Measurement is performed using specific algorithms to
interpret measurement of probes resistance. RTDs are
using 3-wire connection type to temperature sensors.
2.5.3.5 RTD fault
RTD fault signal is provided to ensure the correct
operation of external module as well as its sensors. If
the connection to one of the sensors is terminated or
short-circuited, the RTD fault signal is activated. The
signal remains active as long as the fault persists. The
fault can only occur if a protection of a malfunction

Locked rotor protection, excessive starting time - ANSI code 48/51LR/14
Failure of a rotating machine to accelerate when its stator is energized can be caused by several types of abnormal
conditions, including mechanical failure of the machine or load bearings, low supply voltage, or an open circuit in one
phase of a three-phase voltage supply. When a rotating machine stator winding is energized with the rotor stationary, the
machine performs like a transformer with resistance-loaded secondary winding. Stator winding currents may typically
range from three to seven or more times the rated full-load value, depending on the machine design and supply system
impedance.
Although the rotating machine starting current does drop off near full speed, this effect is normally neglected, providing
some safety margin from relay operation during rotor acceleration.
2.5.4.1 Functionality
Considering the current amplitude on start-up is at
maximum most of the time, the algorithm takes into
account that the start-up current is constant and is
equal to maximum start-up current. Therefore the
allowed start-up time is constant. This function
distinguishes between different rotating machine
conditions, regarding current and digital input states.
Trip of the function is considered as soon as any stated
condition is detected. When rotating machine reaches
stopped state, all signals are set to zero and all timers
are reset.

Protection Starts per hour is meant to prevent too frequent starts of the rotating machine in a given time window.
2.5.5.1 Functionality
Rotating machine manufacturers usually define allowed number of starts within given time period by one of two criteria:
How many starts are allowed within one hour
How many consecutive starts are allowed according to current thermal state of the machine
This protection can be set up by either of those criteria, or even both of them. User can also define minimum delay
between starts. When any of given criteria is reached the protection inhibits starting of the machine by blocking the
circuit breaker closing command. Thermal state of the machine is determined by Thermal overload protection [2.5.1],
which needs to be enabled for proper thermal detection of the machine.

2.6.2.1 Functionality
Function is executed autonomously by the device. Two
digital galvanic isolated inputs are used. The result of
Trip circuit supervision function is a signal that can be
used to activate digital output. The signal can also be
accessed using the communication protocol. The
function itself has different operating modes each using
its own connection scheme and alarm status trigger.
Table 58: Basic description of TCS module functionalities.
2.6.2.2 Mode 1
Mode 1 is considered basic TCS operation. TCS state is
valid if exactly one of the Input TCS 1 or TCS 2 has value
1. Invalid states are 00 and 11. For each of invalid states
a delay is set. After corresponding delay elapses the TCS wrong position signal is stated.

found on Figure 2.39
Figure 2.39 Trip circuit supervision with two digital inputs and
function of monitoring circuit breaker position.
Table 59: TCS function response according to inputs using

The benefit of using two digital inputs is that only two
digital inputs are used to indicate status of circuit
breaker and monitor the trip circuit. There is also no
need of external resistor to be used. It has to be taken in
to account that, when circuit breaker is in open position
trip circuit supervision does not monitor line from trip

2.6.2.3 Mode 2
In order to supervise section between trip contact
compartment and circuit breaker compartment when
CB is in open position, a control diagram used in Mode 2
[Figure 2.40] can be used by adding two additional wires
to circuit breaker compartment.
It should be noted that by using this scheme, both of
trip circuit supervision digital inputs are connected in
serial. The case occurs when circuit breaker is in open
position and none of trip contacts is active. This
situation will result in a valid position when both of the
contacts are active.
Table 60: TCS function response according to inputs using
Mode 2 setting.
2.6.2.4 Mode 3
Mode 3 is a single TCS input mode. The benefit of using
one digital input is that no additional wiring from the
device to the circuit breaker compartment is needed. It
should be noted that by using this scheme an additional
external resistor is needed. By using the resistor a trip
circuit is supervised in closed and opened position of CB.

Auto-reclosing function - ANSI 79 - AR
Approximately 85 % of all faults occurring at overhead lines have temporary short circuit character. After protection
operation they usually disappear. Line is switched back into operation the moment when fault is not present anymore
and any delay runs out. Reclosing is executed with auto-reclosing function. If the fault is still present after reclosing the
protection function will operate again. Based on setting the process of reclosing can repeat several times.
2.6.3.1 Functionality
The auto-reclosing function (AR) can be used with any
circuit breaker suitable for auto reclosing. Four
programmable AR shots are provided. Combined with
dead time duration user can form a scenario which will
be executed in case of fault occurrence.
Auto reclose function is set in standby mode when it is
enabled and no blocking or trip signals are present. The
function monitors trip signals. When any of them is
triggered the function operates according to defined
scenario.
Figure 2.44: Automatic reclosing successful in second attempt.
In case when the last auto-reclosing shot is still
unsuccessful a final trip order is given and AR function is
blocked until circuit breaker close command is initiated.
Reclosing is considered successful when no trip signal
appears after reclosing during the Reclaim time (Figure
2.44). In case of dynamic blocking, scenario is reset after
one second delay. In case of fault appearing before
reclaim time has passed AR function will continue with
next cycle if any left.
Machine control is a control function which includes
basic parameters of rotating machine used for
calculation of rotation status and operating time of
machine.

least one of the phase currents exceeds Service factor
level of In.
2.6.4.3.3 Normal operation
State is active if all of the currents are below Service
factor and above 5 % of In.
2.6.4.3.4 Overload
Overload state is considered if previous state was
normal operation and one of phase currents exceeds
Service factor level of In.
2.6.4.3.5 Re - acceleration

Symmetrical components
By using three symmetrical systems any three-phase
non-symmetrical system can be presented. These
systems are named positive negative and zero sequence
systems:
Positive sequence indicates rotating magnetic
field in native direction. In fully symmetrical
three phase system only positive sequence is
present while negative and zero sequence
have zero value.
Negative sequence value indicates presence
of rotating magnetic field in opposite direction
than native direction of three phase system.
Zero sequence is present if three-phase system
is not balanced

2.10 Self-diagnostic
Several self-monitoring functions run continuously to check the operation of hardware and software while device is in
service. Device status is represented by internal watchdog that can be connected to Ready Relay output via Relay
mapping menu. Digital output 6 can be set to operate as ready relay as it is designed to operate as such. FPC 200
distinguish between two major types of internal faults:
System status register is a 16 bit memory register dedicated to correspond with specific internal fault type. It is possible
to access this register by Modbus RTU. Internal fault is detected if value of stored bit is equal to 1.
Operating states
Three operating states are used to increase reliability of protection relay self-diagnosis. According to internal fault type,
the device will start to function in designated operating state.

3 Communication
FPC 200 can be connected to supervision communication network based on following communication protocols:
Modbus RTU
IEC60870-5-103
3.1 Modbus RTU
General description
Modbus communication protocol uses request-reply
logic to obtain information from dedicated devices. The
device that executes request is always a master and
device that listens to request is always a slave. Modbus
protocol allows several slave devices to be connected to
a single master device. Individual devices are addressed
by a specific code unique to each slave device
connected to communication network. FPC 200 is
always a slave station and it allows to be connected to
any other device with Modbus master communication
channel.
Table 84 Modbus PDU format.
Modbus function supported
Modbus protocol uses standard set of functions.
Functions are divided by the ability to read or write one
or multiple data bits.
3.1.3.1 Read functions:
Modbus PDU (protocol data unit)
Every Modbus character frame send or received consists
two fields which assign function code being used and
data being transferred. The total number of data bits to
be transferred in one package is dependent of the
transfer function to be used. If there was no error
during transmission of data function codes in request
and reply are identical. There are two types of data that
can be transmitted, bits (also called Coils) and 16 bit
words (also called Registers). Words used to transfer
data are always represented in big-endian format.
Figure 54 Modbus RTU character frame
Function 2: reading of n input bits
Function 3: reading of n output or internal bits
Function 4: reading of n input words
3.1.3.2 Write functions:
Function 5: writing of 1 bit
Function 6: writing of 1 word
Function 16: writing of n words
Time synchronization
Time synchronization zone is dedicated to set exact time
to the device. To write time massage function 16
containing 4 words should be used. Reading device time
massages can be done separately word by word, or by
using a multiple words function 3 can be used to access
whole timestamp instead. It is possible that internal
clock could drift over time. To ensure that device
internal time is set correctly, time synchronization
should be carried out over regular intervals of 10 to 60

300 s the event Time not sync is triggered.
Internal clock is written according to IEC 60870-5-4,
Binary Time 2a standard and consists of 8 characters
structure:
Table 85 Communication telegram structure of time
synchronization.
Events
3.1.5.1 Time tagging of events
For purpose of transparency of the data processed by
FPC 200, the device uses time tagging function to
timestamp specific events that occurred during its
operation. Therefore chronological order of events can
be maintained accurately. Internal time is used when
device time tags the event.
All the events that are recorded in device are available
over Modbus communication with two internal storage
queues of total 100 stored events.
- Value of the event
Table 86 Event reading communication telegram structure.
3.1.5.3 Reading of events
Monitoring system periodically reads the control word
and checks whether there are new events available.
Only reading of control word is allowed or reading of
the whole 33 word block. For all other requests, the
device returns an error (Wrong data).
On the arrival of new events in the buffer, the device
writes the values of events into the structure in the
analogue table and increases the number of
transactions in the control word by 1 and sets the
number of written events (maximum 4).
Monitoring system reads the values of the events,
checks for any reception errors and validity of the data.
If events are present, device stops to write new events
in the buffer and waits for confirmation for those that
were sent last.
3.1.5.2 Structure
The device presents up to four events at the same time
for each buffer and one control word. Structure of data
in the table looks as follows:
Control word + Event 1 + Event 2 + Event 3 + Event 4
The function of control word is to ensure correct
reception of all data, even in case of trouble and loss of
data at communication. To ensure this, it includes
number of transactions and number of events. On
device boot, number of transactions is 0.
Events are recorded in 8 word structure. Each event
consists of the following information:
- Address where the data is stored
- Exact time of the event
USER MANUAL FPC 200 - 3/2017 83
Monitoring system confirms correct reception to device
with writing into control word the same transaction
number and number of events is reset to 0.
Upon confirmation of successful reception from the
monitoring system, the device erases the transferred
events from buffer, in analog table all words for the
events are set to 0, writes new events and sets a new
control word, as previously described. Deletion of
events is only allowed if a request to read the entire
block of events has previously been issued. Namely, the
monitoring system can’t confirm events, if it did not
read them previously.
When device sends all events and clears its buffer, it
does not change the control word anymore even after
the monitoring system reads the control word.

3.2 Protocol IEC60870-5-103
Standard IEC60870-5-103 defines communication between protection equipment and dedicated supervisor devices. The
standard in full form can be obtained from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
General description
The IEC60870-5-103 protocol is a Slave – Master based
communication protocol. An information can be
exchanged between master and one or multiple slave
devices. A supervisor or other device is used as master
and the device is always used as a slave station. Multiple
slave stations can be connected to the supervisor
device. Each slave station is identified by unique
address.
The following application functions can be accessed or
executed using this protocol:
Time synchronization
Confirmation of alarms
Reading the metering information
Reading the device status and switchgear
diagnostic information
Transmission of remote controls
Acronyms and Terms
Protocol data transfer
The standard defines two methods of exchanging
information. First, which is supported, by using
predefined ASDU (Application Service Data Units) data
structures and predefined transmission of standardized
information. Second, non-supported, uses generic
services which defines the transmission of any type of
information. The protocol is using two types of
exchanging information based on its source divided to
control direction and monitoring direction.
Table 101 Description of acronyms and terms.
If a BIDI is selected the event is generated on both on
event occurrence and event disappearance. Else event is
generated only on its occurrence.

3.2.3.1 Monitor direction
Defines direction of transmission from the protection
equipment to the control system. Primarily it is used to
send cyclic and event information transmission requests
of master to the slave device/s.
Class 1 data pooling is usually used for event
type of transmission.
Class 2 data pooling is usually used for Cyclic
sending of data. Typically for metering
information.
3.2.3.2 Control direction
Defines direction of transmission from the control
system to the protection equipment. Typically for:
sending control commands
time synchronization commands
Executing of start/reset communication
commands.
Table 104 Supported COT numbers in control direction.
3.2.3.3 The device initialization
Whenever the device has started, a Start/restart
procedure is required to initialise a communication.
The device communications can be reset using either
the Reset CU or Reset FCB command. The Command
Reset CU will also clear any unsent massages while
Reset FCB will only initialise the communication.
Table 103 Supported COT numbers in monitor direction.
3.2.3.4 Time synchronization
The device date and time can be synchronized using the
standardized synchronization command. The command
can be send to individual with confirm request or to all
devices with no reply request (address 255). The device
also accounts time synchronization correction according
to this standard.
3.2.3.5 General interrogation
General interrogation represents group of data, general
information about the status of the device. If GI is
requested the device will respond with the data as
marked in Table 106. This data is also transmitted
spontaneously (COT 1).
