Introduction The Allen-Bradley 865 differential protection system includes all the
essential protection functions needed to protect transformers for
distribution networks of utilities, industry, power plants and offshore
applications as well as motor and generator differential protection.
Further, the device includes several programmable functions, such as
thermal and circuit breaker protection and communication protocols
for various protection and communication situations. An optional
arc flash protection feature is also available.
The Allen-Bradley 865 can be used for selective differential
overcurrent, short-circuit protection of generators, transformers
and motors in solidly or impedance earthed power systems. The
relay can also be used for single, two or three-phase overcurrent
and/or sensitive earth fault protection.
The modern technology in association with an extensive self-
supervision system and a reliable construction ensures extremely
high system availability for the Allen-Bradley 865 protection
relay.
Main Relay Features The main features of Allen-Bradley 865 are:
• Fully digital signal handling with a powerful 16-bit
microprocessor, and high measuring accuracy on all the setting
ranges due to an accurate 16-bit A/D conversion technique
• Wide setting ranges for the protection functions, e.g. the earth
fault protection can reach a sensitivity of 0.5%
• The device can be matched to the requirements of the application
by disabling the functions that are not needed
• Flexible control and blocking possibilities due to digital signal
control inputs (DI) and outputs (DO)
• Easy adaptability of the relay to various substations and alarm
systems due to flexible signal-grouping matrix in the relay
• Freely configurable display with six measurement values

User Interface
The relay can be controlled in three ways:
• Locally with the push-buttons on the relay front panel
• Locally using a PC connected to the serial port on the front panel
or on the rear panel of the relay (both cannot be used
simultaneously)
• Via remote control over the remote control port on the relay rear
panel.
Operating Safety
A T T E N T IONA T T E N T I O N
The terminals on the rear panel of the relay may
carry dangerous voltages, even if the auxiliary
voltage is switched off. A live current
transformer secondary circuit must not be
opened. Disconnecting a live circuit may cause
dangerous voltages! Any operational measures
must be carried out according to national and
local handling directives and instructions.
Carefully read through all operation instructions before any
operational measures are carried out.

Setting Groups
Most of the protection functions of the relay have two setting groups.
These groups are useful for example when the network topology is
changed frequently. The active group can be changed by a digital input,
through remote communication or locally by using the local panel.
The active setting group of each protection function can be selected
separately. Figure 2.11 shows an example where the changing of the
I> setting group is handled with digital input one (SGrpDI). If the
digital input is TRUE, the active setting group is group two and
correspondingly, the active group is group one, if the digital input is
FALSE. If no digital input is selected (SGrpDI = -), the active group
can be selected by changing the value of the parameter SetGrp.
Figure 2.11 – Example of Protection Submenu with Setting Group
The changing of the setting parameters can be done easily. When the
desired submenu has been found (with the arrow keys), press the
ENTER key to select the submenu. Now the selected setting group is
indicated in the down-left corner of the display (See Figure 2.12).
Set1 is setting group one and Set2 is setting group two. When the
needed changes, to the selected setting group, have been done, press
the LEFT or the RIGHT key to select another group (the LEFT key
is used when the active setting group is 2 and the RIGHT key is used
when the active setting group is 1).

The minimum procedure to configure a relay is:
Parameter Setting
1. Open the access level "Configurator". The default password for
configurator access level is 2.
2. Set the rated values in menu [CONF] including at least current
transformers and a protected transformer rating. Also the date
and time settings are in this same main menu.
3. Enable the needed protection functions and disable the rest of the
protection functions in main menu [Prot].
4. Set the setting parameter of the enable protection stages
according the application.
5. Connect the output relays to the start and trip signals of the
enabled protection stages using the output matrix. This can be
done in main menu [DO], although the SetPointPS program is
recommended for output matrix editing.
6. Configure the needed digital inputs in main menu [DI].
7. Configure blocking and interlockings for protection stages using
the block matrix. This can be done in main menu [Prot], although
SetPointPS is recommended for block matrix editing.
Some of the parameters can only be changed via the RS-232
serial port using the SetPointPS software. Such parameters, (for
example passwords, blockings and mimic configuration) are
normally set only during commissioning.
Some of the parameters require the restarting of the relay. This
restarting is done automatically when necessary. If a parameter
change requires restarting, the display will show as Figure 2.19.

inbuilt programmable logic functions.
865-UM001A-EN-P – July 2009
3-2 Protection Functions
Forcing Start or Trip Condition for Testing
The status of a protection stage can be one of the followings:
• Ok = ‘–‘
• Blocked
The stage is not detecting any fault.
The stage is detecting a fault but blocked by some
reason.
• Start
• Trip
The stage is counting the operation delay.
The stage has tripped and the fault is still on.
The blocking reason may be an active signal via the block matrix
from other stages, the programmable logic or any digital input.
Some stages also have inbuilt blocking logic. For example an under
frequency stage is blocked if voltage is too low. For more details
about block matrix, see Chapter 5.
Forcing Start or Trip Condition for Testing Purposes
There is a "Force flag" parameter which, when activated, allows
forcing the status of any protection stage to be "start" or "trip" for a
half second. By using this forcing feature any current or voltage
injection to the relay is not necessary to check the output matrix
configuration, to check the wiring from the output relays to the
circuit breaker and also to check that communication protocols are
correctly transferring event information to a SCADA system.
After testing the force flag will automatically reset 5-minute after the
last local panel push button activity.
The force flag also enables forcing of the output relays and forcing
the optional mA outputs.
Start and Trip Signals
Every protection stage has two internal binary output signals: start
and trip. The start signal is issued when a fault has been detected.
The trip signal is issued after the configured operation delay unless
the fault disappears before the end of the delay time.
Output Matrix
Using the output matrix the user connects the internal start and trip
signals to the output relays and indicators. For more details see
Chapter 5.
865-UM001A-EN-P – July 2009
Protection Functions 3-3
Blocking
Any protection function, except arc protection, can be blocked with
internal and external signals using the block matrix (Chapter 5).
Internal signals are for example logic outputs and start and trip
signals from other stages and external signals are for example digital
and virtual inputs.
Some protection stages have also inbuilt blocking functions. For
example under-frequency protection has inbuilt under-voltage
blocking to avoid tripping when the voltage is off.
When a protection stage is blocked, it won't pick-up in case of a fault
condition is detected. If blocking is activated during the operation
delay, the delay counting is frozen until the blocking goes off or the
pick-up reason, i.e. the fault condition, disappears. If the stage is
already tripping, the blocking has no effect.
Retardation Time
Retardation time is the time a protection relay needs to notice that a
fault has been cleared during the operation time delay. This parameter
is important when grading the operation time delay settings between
relays.

Figure 3.1 – Retardation Time
865-UM001A-EN-P – July 2009
3-4 Protection Functions
Definition of retardation time: If the delay setting would be
slightly shorter, an unselective trip might occur (the dash line pulse).
For example when there is a big fault in an outgoing feeder, it might
start i.e. pick-up both the incoming and outgoing feeder relay.
However the fault must be cleared by the outgoing feeder relay and
the incoming feeder relay must not trip. Although the operating delay
setting of the incoming feeder is more than at the outgoing feeder,
the incoming feeder might still trip, if the operation time difference
is not big enough. The difference must be more than the retardation
time of the incoming feeder relay plus the operating time of the
outgoing feeder circuit breaker.
Figure 3.1 shows an overcurrent fault seen by the incoming feeder,
when the outgoing feeder does clear the fault. If the operation delay
setting would be slightly shorter or if the fault duration would be
slightly longer than in the figure, an unselective trip might happen (the
dashed 40 ms pulse in the figure). In Allen-Bradley relays, the
retardation time is less than 50 ms.
Reset Time (Release Time)
Figure 3.2 shows an example of reset time i.e. release delay, when
the relay is clearing an overcurrent fault. When the relay's trip
contacts are closed the circuit breaker (CB) starts to open. After the
CB contacts are open the fault current will still flow through an arc
between the opened contacts. The current is finally cut off when the
arc extinguishes at the next zero crossing of the current. This is the
start moment of the reset delay. After the reset delay the trip contacts
and start contact are opened unless latching is configured. The reset
time varies from fault to fault depending on the fault size. After a big
fault the time is longer. The reset time also depends on the specific
protection stage. The maximum reset time for each stage is specified
in Chapter 9. For most stages it is less than 95 ms.

Hysteresis or Dead Band
When comparing a measured value against a pick-up value, some
amount of hysteresis is needed to avoid oscillation near equilibrium
situation. With zero hysteresis any noise in the measured signal or
any noise in the measurement itself would cause unwanted
oscillation between fault-on and fault-off situations.

Bias current calculation is only used in protection stage ΔI>. Bias
current describes the average current flow in transformer. Bias and
differential currents are calculated individually for each phase.
If transformer is earthed, e.g. connection group Dyn11, then zero
current must be compensated before differential and bias current
calculation. Zero current compensation can be selected individually
for IL and I’L side.
Table 3.2 describes connection group and zero current compensation
for different connection groups. If protection area is only generator
then connection group setting is always Yy0, see Table 3.3. Also the
settings of Un and U’n are set to be the same, e.g. generator nominal
voltage.

Overcurrent Protection
Overcurrent protection is used against short circuit faults and heavy
I> (50/51)
overloads.
The overcurrent function measures the fundamental frequency
component of the phase currents. The protection is sensitive for the
highest of the three phase currents. Whenever this value exceeds the
user's pick-up setting of a particular stage, this stage picks up and a
start signal is issued. If the fault situation remains on longer than the
user's operation delay setting, a trip signal is issued.
Two Independent Stages
There are two separately adjustable overcurrent stages: I>, I>>
I’>and I’>>. The first stage I> can be configured for definite time
(DT) or inverse time operation characteristic (IDMT). The stage I>>
has definite time operation characteristic. By using the definite delay
type and setting the delay to its minimum, an instantaneous (ANSI
50) operation is obtained.
Figure 3.9 shows a functional block diagram of the I> overcurrent
stage with definite time and inverse time operation time. Figure 3.10
shows a functional block diagram of the I>> overcurrent stage with
definite time operation delay.
Inverse Operation Time
Inverse delay means that the operation time depends on the amount
the measured current exceeds the pick-up setting. The bigger the
fault current is the faster will be the operation. Accomplished
inverse delays are available for the I> stage. The relay will show the
currently used inverse delay curve graph on the local panel display.
Inverse Time Limitation
The maximum measured secondary current is 50xIN. This limits the
scope of inverse curves with high pick-up settings.
Setting Groups
There are two settings groups available for each stage. Switching
between setting groups can be controlled by digital inputs, virtual
inputs (mimic display, communication, logic) and manually.

Intermittent Earth Fault Detection
Short earth faults make the protection to start (pick up), but will not
cause trip. When starting happens often enough, such intermittent
faults can be cleared using the intermittent time setting.
When a new start happens within the set intermittent time, the
operation delay counter is not cleared between adjacent faults and
finally the stage will trip. By using input signals I
01Peak
or I
02Peak
a
single one-millisecond current peak is enough to start the stage and
increase the delay counter by 20 ms. For example if the operating
time is 120 ms, and the time between two peaks does not exceed the
intermittent time setting, the sixth peak will cause a trip.

There are four separately adjustable earth fault stages: I0>, I0>>,

Example of a Behavior of the Thermal Model
Figure 3.15 shows an example of the thermal model behavior. In
this example τ = 30 minutes, k = 1.06 and kτ = 1 and the current has
been zero for a long time and thus the initial temperature rise is 0 %.
At time = 50 minutes the current changes to 0.85xI
ture rise starts to approach value (0.85/1.06)
time constant. At time=300 min, the temperature is about stable, and
the current increases to 5 % over the maximum defined by the rated
current and the service factor k. The temperature rise starts to
approach value 110 %. At about 340 minutes the temperature rise is
100 % and a trip follows.

Binary Input
The binary input (BI) on the arc option card (see Chapter 8) can be
used to get the light indication from another relay to build selective
arc protection systems. The BI signal can also be connected to any
of the output relays, BO, indicators etc. offered by the output matrix
(See Chapter 5). BI is a dry input for 48 Vdc signal from binary
outputs of other Allen-Bradley relays or dedicated arc protection
devices by Allen-Bradley.

Binary Output
The binary output (BO) on the arc option card (see Chapter 8) can be
used to give the light indication signal or any other signal or signals
to another relay's binary input to build selective arc protection
systems. Selection of the BO connected signal(s) is done with the
output matrix (See Chapter 5). BO is an internally wetted 48 Vdc
signal for BI of other Allen-Bradley relays or dedicated arc
protection devices by Allen-Bradley.
Delayed Light Indication Signal
There is a delayed light indication output signal available for
building selective arc protection systems. Any light source
combination and a delay can be configured. The resulting signal is
available in the output matrix to be connected to BO, output relays
etc.

Inverse Time Operation The inverse time operation – i.e. inverse delay minimum time (IDMT)
type of operation – is available for several protection functions. The
common principle, formula and graphic representations of the
available inverse delay types are described in this chapter.
Inverse delay means that the operation time depends on the measured
real time process values during a fault. When utilizing an overcurrent
stage using an inverse delay, a large fault current results in faster
operation. The alternative to inverse delay is definite delay. With
definite delay a preset time is used and the operation time does not
depend on the size of a fault.
Stage Specific Inverse Delay
Some protection functions have their own specific type of inverse
delay. Details of these dedicated inverse delays are described with
the appropriate protection function.
Operation Modes
There are three operation modes to use the inverse time
characteristics:
Standard delays
Using standard delay characteristics by selecting a curve family
(IEC, IEEE, IEEE2, RI) and a delay type (Normal inverse, Very
inverse etc). See “Standard Inverse Delays IEC, IEEE, IEEE2,
RI”.
Standard delay formula with parameters
Selecting a curve family (IEC, IEEE, IEEE2) and defining one's
own parameters for the selected delay formula. This mode is
activated by setting delay type to ‘Parameters’, and then editing
the delay function parameters A ... E. See “Parameter setting
using IEC, IEEE and IEEE2 Equations”.
Building the characteristics by setting 16 [current, time] points.
The relay interpolates the values between given points with 2nd
degree polynomials. This mode is activated by setting curve
family to ‘PrgN’'. There are maximum three different
programmable curves available at the same time. Each
programmed curve can be used by any number of protection
stages. See “Programmable Inverse Time Curves”.
Local Panel Graph
The relay will show a graph of the currently used inverse delay on
the local panel display. Up and down keys can be used for zooming.
Also the delays at 20xI

3-34 Protection Functions
Inverse Time Setting Error Signal
If there are any errors in the inverse delay configuration the
appropriate protection stage will use definite time delay.
There is a signal ‘Setting Error’ available in output matrix, which
indicates three different situations:
1. Settings are currently changed with SetPointPS or local panel,
and there is temporarily an illegal combination of
curve/delay/points. For example if previous settings were
IEC/NI and then curve family is changed to IEEE, the setting
error will active, because there is no NI type available for IEEE
curves. After changing valid delay type for IEEE mode (for
example MI), the ‘Setting Error’ signal will release.
There are errors in formula parameters A…E, and the device
is not able to build the delay curve
There are errors in the programmable curve configuration
and the device is not able to interpolate values between the
given points.

Standard Inverse Delays IEC, IEEE, IEEE2, RI
The available standard inverse delays are divided in four categories
IEC, IEEE, IEEE2 and RI called delay curve families. Each category
of family contains a set of different delay types according to the
following table.
Inverse Time Setting Error Signal
The inverse time setting error signal will be activated, if the delay
category is changed and the old delay type doesn't exist in the new
category.
Limitations
The minimum definite time delay start latest, when the measured
value is twenty times the setting. However, there are limitations at
high setting values due to the measurement range.

IEEE2 Inverse Time Operation
Before the year 1996 and ANSI standard C37.112, microprocessor
relays were using equations approximating the behavior of various
induction disc type relays. A quite popular approximation is
Equation 8, which in the 865 is called IEEE2. Another name could
be IAC, because the old General Electric IAC relays have been
modeled using the same equation.
There are four different delay types according Table 3.25. The old
electromechanical induction disc relays have inverse delay for both
trip and release operations. However, in the Bulletin 865 only the trip
time is inverse, the release time being constant.
The operation delay depends on the measured value and other
parameters according Equation 8. Actually this equation can only be
used to draw graphs or when the measured value I is constant during
the fault. A modified version is implemented in the relay for real
time usage.

Inverse Time Setting Error Signal
The inverse time setting error signal will become active, if
interpolation with the given parameters is not possible. See Chapter 2
for more details.
Limitations
The minimum definite time delay start latest, when the measured
value is twenty times the setting. However, there are limitations at
high setting values due to the measurement range. See Chapter 2 for
more details.
Programmable Inverse Time Curves
The [current, time] curve points are programmed only using
SetPointPS PC program. There are some rules for defining the curve
points:
• Configuration must begin from the topmost line
• Line order must be as follows: the smallest current (longest
operation time) on the top and the largest current (shortest
operation time) on the bottom
• All unused lines (on the bottom) should be filled with [1.00
0.00s]
• Device must be rebooted to initialize the settings.
Here is an example configuration of curve points:

Event Log
Event log is a buffer of event codes and time stamps including date
and time. For example each start-on, start-off, trip-on or trip-off of
any protection stage has a unique event number code. Such a code
and the corresponding time stamp are called an event.
As an example of information included with a typical event an
overvoltage trip event of the first 59 stage U> is shown in the
following table.

Communication
Protocols
Events are the major data for a control system. Control systems are
reading events using any of the available communication protocols.
Event log can also be scanned using the front panel or using
SetPointPS. With SetPointPS, the events can be stored to a file
especially in case the relay is not connected to any control system.
Only the latest event can be read when using communication
protocols or SetPointPS. Every reading increments the internal read
pointer to the event buffer. (In case of communication error, the
latest event can be reread any number of times using another
parameter.) On the local panel scanning the event buffer back and
forth is possible.
Event enabling/masking
There is room for 50 latest events in the event buffer. The oldest one
will be overwritten, when a new event does occur. The shown resolution
of a time stamp is one millisecond, but the actual resolution depends of
the particular function creating the event. For example most protection
stages create events with 10 ms or 20 ms resolution. The absolute
accuracy of all time stamps depends on the time synchronizing of the
relay. See page 4-11 for system clock synchronizing.
Events can be masked, which prevents their inclusion in the event
buffer.

Event Buffer Overflow
The normal procedure is to poll events from the device all the time.
If this is not done, the event buffer will eventually overflow. On the
local screen this is indicated with string "OVF" after the event code.

Number of Channels
At the maximum, there can be 12 recordings, and the maximum
selection of channels in one recording is also 12 (limited in
waveform recording). The digital inputs reserve one channel

(includes all the outputs). If digital inputs and outputs are recorded,
there will be still 10 channels left for analogue waveforms.

The relay has a condition monitoring function that supervises the
Circuit Breaker
Condition Monitoring
wearing of the circuit-breaker. The condition monitoring can give
alarm for the need of CB maintenance well before the CB condition
is critical.
The CB wear function measures the breaking current of each CB
pole separately and then estimates the wearing of the CB accordingly
the permissible cycle diagram. The breaking current is registered
when the trip relay supervised by the circuit breaker failure
protection (CBFP) is activated. (See Chapter 2 for CBFP and the
setting parameter "CBrelay".)
Breaker Curve and its Approximation
The permissible cycle diagram is usually available in the
documentation of the CB manufacturer (Figure 4.1). The diagram
specifies the permissible number of cycles for every level of the
breaking current. This diagram relates to the parameter settings for
the breaker condition monitoring function with maximum eight
[current, cycles] points. See Table 4.7. If less than eight points
needed, the unused points are set to [I

If the CB wearing characteristics or part of it is a straight line on a
log/log graph, the two end points are enough to define that part of the
characteristics. This is because the relay is using logarithmic
interpolation for any current values falling in between the given
current points 2...8.

Setting Alarm Points
There are two alarm points available having two setting parameters
each.
Current
The first alarm can be set for example to nominal current of the
CB or any application typical current. The second alarm can be
set for example according a typical fault current.
Operations left alarm limit
An alarm is activated when there are less operation left at the
given current level than this limit.

4-8 Supporting Functions
Any actual interrupted current will be logarithmically weighted for
the two given alarm current levels and the number of operations left
at the alarm points is decreased accordingly. When the "operations
left" i.e. the number of remaining operations, goes under the given
alarm limit, an alarm signal is issued to the output matrix. Also an
event is generated depending on the event enabling.
Clearing "Operations Left" Counters
After the breaker curve table is filled and the alarm currents are
defined, the wearing function can be initialized by clearing the
decreasing operation counters with parameter "Clear" (Clear oper.
left cntrs). After clearing the relay will show the maximum allowed
operations for the defined alarm current levels.
Operation Counters to Monitor the Wearing
The operations left can be read from the counters "Al1Ln" (Alarm 1)
and "Al2Ln" (Alarm2). There are three values for both alarms, one
for each phase. The smallest of three is supervised by the two alarm
functions.
Logarithmic Interpolation
The permitted number of operations for currents in between the
defined points is logarithmically interpolated using equation
