1.3.2Optional Configurations
The ISGS relay is a dynamic, feature-rich device that can be
used in numerous industrial and utility applications. It allows
the addition of options or configuration changes at any time
without discarding the basic hardware.
There are four optional configurations that can be added to
the ISGS relay base unit.
Metering
Adding metering to the ISGS relay provides the relay with
three inputs for the connection of VTs. Each input can be set
from 100 V to 120 V. These inputs extend metering capabilities as follows:
Rms and average rms voltages
Active and apparent power
Kilowatt demand and kilowatt demand hours
Power factor
Frequency
The installation of the voltage input card now also allows the
setting of these protective functions:
High-Set Instantaneous Phase Overcurrent (50HS)
High-Set Instantaneous Neutral or Ground Overcurrent
(50HSN)
The metering option is also a prerequisite for the next two
options: additional protective functions and remote communications.
Additional Protective Functions
For an ISGS relay with the metering option installed, the following additional protective functions offer a powerful extension of its protection capabilities:
Under/Overvoltage (27/59)
Phase Sequence Voltage (47)
Negative Sequence Voltage (47N)
Directional Time Overcurrent (67/67N)
Over/Underfrequency (81U/O)
Communications
Adding communications to the ISGS relay provides the relay
with an RS-485 port. Using the SEAbus communications
protocol, this port allows remote communications and control via the ACCESS electrical distribution and communication system (ACCESS system).
Communications allows configuration, measurement, and
protection functions to be performed or reviewed easily from
a remote location using Wisdom software.
1.4 Wisdom Software
While it is possible to completely set up and configure the
ISGS relay using the front panel keyboard and display, the
free Wisdom software package provided with the relay
reduces the complexity of configuring the relay, reading
metered values, and retrieving stored data. For more information on Wisdom software, refer to Chapter 8.

These messages are displayed until superseded by another
pickup, a trip message, a target reset, or a request by the
operator to display other information.
3.3 Password Protection
A password should be used to prevent any accidental or
unauthorized parameter changes. While relay information
can be accessed for display without a password, all changes
to parameter settings require a user password.
Note: The ISGS relay is not password protected
when making parameter changes through
Wisdom software.
The ISGS relay offers three password protected access levels:
Level 1consists of simple settings such as all protective
and setpoint settings that do not cause a reset.
These simple settings include communications
and time and date settings.
Level 2consists of protective function settings such as
CT and VT ratios, the changing of which can
cause a device reset.
For a level 1 or level 2 password, the word Three in the
illustration above would be replaced by One and
Two, respectively.
If the wrong password has been entered, the dialog box
displays the following message:
Password:
Rejected
5.When the confirmation message appears, press the
Enter key. This action returns the display that was in
use before entering the password.
For example, if the address block of the parameter to be
changed was displayed prior to entering the password,
the display returns to this address block and the device
is ready to accept changes.

When accessing the ISGS relay menu through the keypad,
the Arrow keys allow scrolling through all available functions
and parameters. If an option is not installed, the LCD only
displays the address block that is reserved for this option. In
this case, second level addresses are not available.
3.5 Standard Operating Procedures
Before attempting to display or configure any of the relay
data, ensure that the relay has control power which is indicated by the system LED (green) being lit.
The steps for displaying data, configuring parameters, saving
data, and switching to the alternate parameter set for either
display or configuration are described in detail in Table 3.1,Standard Operating Procedures.
Only certain protective function parameters have two settings. All A settings are grouped under parameter set A, and
all B settings are grouped under parameter set B. Each
parameter set automatically includes all the regular parameters that can be programmed to only one setting at a time
and, therefore, apply to both sets. Examples are protective
function enable settings and matrixed output contacts such
as waveform buffers and blocking. For more information on
parameter sets, refer to Section 6.11.

The Device Configuration function allows you to set up the
ISGS relay to match line frequency, phase sequence, and
breaker connection settings of your system.
4.3 Setting Binary Input Voltages
Binary inputs are jumpered to correspond to the auxiliary
supply voltage of the relay in which they are installed. The
inputs will correctly respond to DC or AC depending on the
jumpering. The jumpers can be placed to allow the inputs to
work with any of the available voltages, independent of the
auxiliary supply voltage. Refer to Figure 4.5 and Table 4.1.

Table 4.1 lists the possible jumper positions for setting
binary input voltages. The numbers in this table each refer to
a pin from and to which a jumper can be moved.
The frequency parameter (1002) must be set to the nominal
frequency of your system. Phase sequence (1003) selects
the phase sequence of your system as it enters the ISGS
relay. The breaker connection parameter (1004) selects the
trip contact that your breaker is connected to. Many functions use this parameter to determine if the device is
attempting to open the breaker. Breaker failure can be initiated by either one of the three trips (if the Breaker Failure
function is enabled). The default is set to Trip 1.

5.1 Overview
This chapter explains how to set the parameters for the
protective functions of the ISGS relay.
Password
All parameter changes require a password. Refer to
Section 3.3 on how to enter your password. Viewing
parameter settings does not require a password.
Note: The ISGS relay is not password protected
when making parameter changes through
Wisdom software.
Configuration Steps
Perform parameter changes using steps 1 through 9 of the
standard operating procedures described in Section 3.5.
Parameter Sets
Many protective functions can be set to two different parameter setsset A and set B. These functions are indicated by
the letter A or B preceding the address block number. Alternate sets are useful for seasonal settings or for special operating periods. Either set can be selected (in address block
7100) to be the active set that controls the relay operation.
The parameters for both sets are entered in the relevant
address blocks. Waveform capture buffer settings apply to
both parameter sets. Unless you do not desire an alternate
set, configure both sets when configuring the relay.
Note: The settings for parameter sets A and B are
entered in the address block. However, the
parameter set which the ISGS relay is
actively using is selected at address block
7100. Refer to Section 6.11 for discussion
of parameter sets.
Actions on Pickup or Trip
Protective functions can be set to have actions occur on
pickup or on trip. Binary outputs can be set to be actuated
on pickup of a protective function. A protective function is set
to trip a breaker by assigning the trip contact that is connected to the breaker (default is Trip 1). Binary outputs can
also be assigned to trip a breaker. It is possible, however to
have a protective function enabled and not assigned to any
output. Events and their sequences are entered in the trip log
as usual, but the breaker will not be affected. This setting is
useful for monitoring and alarming without tripping, and for
waveform capture. For more information on the control of
inputs and outputs, refer to Chapter 6.
Pickup
When testing induction disk relays, an established practice is
to set the pickup value to 1.0 A of secondary CT output. The
time overcurrent curves will show a pickup, but the relay will
not trip in a predefined repeatable manner until it reaches 1.3
to 1.5 A. With numerical relays like the ISGS, however, a sustained pickup indication means definite operation. To
account for measurement inaccuracies, and to guarantee
that the relay will never trip at 100% of pickup or below, the
pickup point is set at 106% of the pickup setting to avoid any
unintended nuisance trips.
Neutral or Ground
The availability of protective functions for neutral or ground
depends on how the external CTs are connected. If a ground
or zero-sequence CT is used and connected to the fourth
internal CT, the ground or neutral protective function is a
ground function. If the fourth CT is connected in the common
return of the other three internal CTs (residual), the function is
indicated as being neutral. There does not need to be an
explicit selection of neutral or ground.
Custom Curve
The custom curve is one user-defined curve that can be
used by one or more protective functions that have the custom curve option in the curve list.
Wisdom Software
While the ISGS relay protective functions can be completely
configured manually using the LCD and the keypad, Wisdom
software allows faster and easier configuration when it is
used on a PC connected to either data port. For data port
connections refer to Section 2.5.
5.2 Instantaneous Phase Overcurrent (50)
The Instantaneous Phase Overcurrent function consists of a
phase instantaneous overcurrent function and an adjustable
delay. This function begins timing when any individual phase
current exceeds the pickup at 100% of set pickup point and
drops out at 95% of the pickup point.

1511 Freeze Wfm2on Pickup, on Trip, or None
1512 Blocked byNone, 50HS & 50HSN, 50 HSN,
or 50HS
The function can be enabled or disabled (1501).
The range of the pickup value (1502) depends on the secondary phase CT rating (1 A or 5 A), and the value is in secondary amperes.
The time delay (1504) represents the time between pickup
and trip and can be adjusted from 0 to 60 seconds in steps
of 0.1 second. If the function remains in pickup for longer
than the time delay, the function causes a trip. The delay can
also be set to infinity so that the function never times out.
Each of the two waveform capture buffers (1510 and 1511)
can be independently programmed to freeze snapshots on
pickup or trip.
The function is able to actuate any binary output contact on
pickup, and any trip or binary output contact on trip.
The High-Set Instantaneous Phase Overcurrent function
causes an undelayed trip when any individual measured
phase current exceeds the preprogrammed threshold
(pickup value). The relay will trip at 100% of the set pickup
point.
The function can be enabled or disabled (1551). The range of
the pickup value (1552) depends on the secondary phase CT
rating (1 A or 5 A) and the value is in secondary amperes.
Each of the two waveform capture buffers (1560 and 1561)
can be independently programmed to freeze snapshots on
trip.
The function is able to actuate any binary output contact on
pickup, and any trip or binary output contact on trip.
The Instantaneous Neutral or Ground Overcurrent function
can be enabled or disabled (1601). The form of protection
provided depends on the manner in which the external CTs
are connected to the ISGS relay. Figure 4.5 in Chapter 4
shows correct CT connections and polarities.
The range of the pickup value (1602) depends on the secondary neutral CT rating (1 A or 5 A) and the value is in secondary amperes.
The time delay (1604) represents the time between pickup
and trip and can be adjusted from 0 to 60 seconds in steps
of 0.1 second. If the function remains in pickup for longer
than the time delay, this parameter causes a trip. The delay
can also be set to infinity so that the function never times out.
Each of the two waveform capture buffers (1610 and 1611)
can be independently programmed to freeze snapshots on
pickup or trip.
The function is able to actuate any binary output contact on
pickup, and any trip or binary output contact on trip.
5.5 High-Set Instantaneous Neutral or
Ground Overcurrent (50HSN)
The High-Set Instantaneous Neutral or Ground Overcurrent
function causes an undelayed trip when any individual measured phase current exceeds the preprogrammed threshold
(pickup value). The relay will trip at 100% of the set pickup
point.
5.4 Instantaneous Neutral or Ground
Overcurrent (50N)
The Instantaneous Neutral or Ground Overcurrent function
has an adjustable delay whose input is the current measured
by the neutral CT. It begins timing when the neutral or ground
current exceeds the pickup value. The ISGS relay will pickup
at 100% of set pickup point and drop out at 95% of the
pickup point.

to clear the timer when the current drops below the pickup
threshold. Selecting Disk Emulation causes the relay to simulate the integrating disk characteristics of electromechanical

5.8 Blocking Capability for Breaker or
Interrupter Saving
High-set instantaneous phase overcurrent (50HS) and highset instantaneous neutral or ground overcurrent (50HSN)
functions have the capability to block 50, 51, 50N, and 51N
selectively to prevent opening an interrupting device should
the fault current exceed the rating of the device.
This function is used to keep an electrically-operated load
break switch, recloser, or aging circuit breaker from attempting to interrupt current beyond its capability or rating. It must
be used in conjunction with a slight delay (25 ms) in 50 so
that 50HS can pickup or trip before 50 times out and trips.
Should these parameters be set, a fault large enough to
cause 50HS to pickup or trip before 50 has timed out will
prevent 50 and/or 51, 50N, and 51N from tripping.
50HS/N can also be matrixed to an output contact to block
differential tripping of a transformer differential relay when a
fault is between the interrupter and the high side (bushings)
of the transformer.

5.17 Breaker Failure (50BF)
The Breaker Failure function responds to a fault condition
where any phase current being measured by the CTs does
not drop below a programmable level. Whenever another
protective function activates the contact identified by the
breaker parameter, (usually Trip 1), this function will wait until
the set amount of time has expired. Then it checks the phase
currents. If they are not equal to or less than the set pickup
value, the function executes its defined actions.

2805 Checkcurrent, breaker opened,
current or breaker opened
The 50BF Breaker Failure function can be enabled and disabled (2801). When enabled, the protective function begins
monitoring the current flow in the circuit following a trip command by the relay. Simultaneously, the protective function
starts a timer. If the current flow does not drop below the
pickup value specified (2802) and before the set time delay
(2804) has elapsed, a breaker failure is assumed. At this
point, another trip command can be issued to a different
breaker (via a different output ocntact if available).
The condition of a breaker failure trip depend on the method
chosen, the value of the current after the time has run out,
and the position of the a and b switches.
The range of the pickup value (2802) is based on the secondary phase CT rating and is in secondary amperes.
The time delay (2804) represents the time between pickup
and trip. The delay can be adjusted from 8 to 254 line cycles
of delay. The function operates if it remains in pickup for
longer than the time delay.
Breaker failure protection monitors the current flow only following a trip by the contact identified at address 1004 (see
Section 4.2). This is the contact matrixed to the overcurrent
protection.
Exceptions to the normal operating conditions include the
presence of push-to-test switches across either the
a-switch, b-switch, or both. A push-to-test switch across the
b-switch will produce a false indication of a breaker mechanism error when the breaker is actually closed. A push-to
test switch across the a-switch (and hence across the trip
solenoid) will produce a false indication of a breaker mechanism error when the breaker is actually closed.
The Breaker Mechanism function (8305), when enabled,
senses an error in the mechanism that controls the position
of one or both switches (breaker mechanism error), causes
an action to be taken, and an event to be logged if the
switches are ever both closed for more than 100 ms. No
other time delay is implemented. When this function detects
an error, it is considered to be in pickup until the condition is
no longer present.
The ISGS relay considers the b-switch to be more reliable. If
it senses the switches both open at the same time, the
breaker is considered to have a trip coil continuity error or to
be withdrawn. The 52a switch closed and the 52b switch
open are interpreted as a closed breaker. If the relay senses
the 52a switch open and the 52b switch closed, the
breaker is considered to be open. Refer also to Table 5.3.
5.18 Demand Setpoints
The ISGS relay is capable of activating outputs and sending
events when predefined demand calculations exceed the set
thresholds. These setpoints can be enabled or disabled and
are capable of activating any output. Measurement and setpoint parameters in address block 3100 set the alarm reporting threshold for the ISGS relay.
The Demand Parameters function selects the time periods
for demand calculations performed by the relay and allows
the user to enable overcurrent demand and kilowatt demand
protection.
5
Breaker position is sensed through dedicated binary inputs
that monitor the 52a and 52b switches on the breaker mechanism (breaker mounted). The 52a and 52b switches have a
total of four possible position combinations which can be
decoded as illustrated in Table 5.3. The 52a and 52b
switches referred to are those which traditionally provide indication of circuit breaker position (52b) and trip coil continuity
(52a). All error reporting can be enabled and disabled, and
the actions to be taken are configurable. Refer to
Section 6.6.

Demand intervals (periods) are set to 15, 30, or 60 minutes
(3101). Demand calculations are updated at the end of every
demand period.
Demand period calculations can begin on the hour or at any

Demand calculations are made every subperiod (3103,
3104, or 3105). The number of subperiods depends on the
length of the demand interval and is based on 10, the minimum number of monitoring intervals in a subperiod. For
example, a 15 minute interval can have one or three subperiods, a 30 minute interval can have 1, 2, 3, or 6 subperiods.
The length of a subperiod is your demand period divided by
the number of subperiods.
The Average Current Demand function can be enabled or
disabled (3106) in this Demand Setpoints function. When
enabled, the Overcurrent Demand function causes an alarm
if the average current demand value exceeds the setpoint.
The pickup value for the Average Current Demand function
(3107) ranges from 0 to 9999 A.
The Kilowatt Demand function (3108) can be enabled or disabled. When enabled, the Kilowatt Demand function causes
an alarm if the kilowatt demand value exceeds the setpoint.
The pickup value for the Kilowatt Demand function (3109)
ranges from 0 to 999,999 kW.
5.19 Power Setpoints
The ISGS relay is capable of activating outputs and sending
events when predefined power measurements exceed the
set thresholds. These setpoints can be enabled or disabled
and are capable of activating any output. Measurement and
setpoint parameters in address block 3200 set the alarm
reporting threshold for the ISGS relay.
The kVAR and the kVA functions (3201 and 3203) can be
enabled or disabled. If enabled, the functions cause an alarm
if the kVAR or the kVA value exceeds the setpoint for the preset time delay.
The kVAR and the kVA function pickup value (3202 and
3204) ranges from 0 to 999,999 kVAR or kVA.
The time delay for kVAR and kVA can be adjusted from 0 to
3600 seconds in steps of 1 second.
The leading or lagging power factor function can be enabled
or disabled (3207 and 3211). If one of the functions is
enabled, it causes an alarm if the power factor value leads or
lags the setpoint.
The threshold for both leading and lagging power factors
(3208 and 3212) ranges from 0.2 to 1.0 in steps of 0.1.
The sign for the leading or lagging power factor (3209 and
3213) can be set to lead or lag.
The time delay for both leading and lagging power factors
can be adjusted from 0 to 3600 seconds in steps of 1 second.
The leading setpoint will react if the measured power factor
leads the setpoint for the set delay time. The lagging setpoint
will react if the measured power factor lags the setpoint for
the set delay time.
The Power Setpoints function allows the setting of all power
setpoints.

6.1 Matrixing Events to Outputs
One of the powerful functions of the ISGS relay is its ability to
send control outputs based on inputs from the real world.
This process of assigning various outputs to various inputs is
called matrixing. Utilities in Europe call this marshalling. Since
most customers in America are not familiar with this term and
because the word configuring is used in too many other contexts, we use the more specific word matrixing. The inputs
that can be used to control outputs can be binary (on/off)
inputs and communication events. The binary inputs determine if a certain type of protection is being violated and can
close a trip contact or binary output based on the intelligence
of the relay. The outputs can be trip contacts or binary outputs. Figure 6.1 shows in general form how the outputs can
be controlled by various inputs. The outputs can also be
controlled by a command from an external communication
device on the network; this input is called a Communication
Event. The ISGS relay offers four binary inputs (BI 1, BI 2,
BI 3, and BI 4), two binary outputs (BO 1, BO 2), and three
trip contacts (Trip 1, Trip 2, and Trip 3). Matrixing is used for
blocking and event-driven functions as well as for binary
input and setpoint functions.
A physical input is a hardware connection to the relay such
as binary input 1 (BI 1). A logical input is an input to a function internal to the relay such as the blocking input for undervoltage (protective function, 27) (see Section 5.12). The
logical input can only be activated if it is matrixed to the
physical input. Connecting the physical input BI 1 to the logical input for function number 27 allows BI 1 to block PF27
when active. Up to 10 logical inputs can be matrixed to each
output contact.

A physical output is a trip contact or binary output (BO). A
logical output is the output of a function internal to the relay
such us Pickup, which is active when function 27 is in
pickup. Connecting a logical output to a physical output
allows function 27 to trip (actuate a contact). Up to 20 logical
outputs can be matrixed to each output contact.
Note: Matrixing includes defining which protective
functions actuate an output contact, and
which output contact they actuate. Matching
the output connections of the relay with the
wiring connections of the protective circuit,
including the connections to the circuit
breaker, is extremely important. If the matrixing of the ISGS relay is changed, doublecheck the wiring of the protective circuit, and
always test that the operation of a protective
function results in the circuit breaker tripping.
Without matrixing, an event will cause an entry in the Event
Log, but nothing will happen with the outputs and no control
activity will occur. With matrixing, an event can cause the
relay to trip a breaker (for example) as well as causing an
entry in the Event Log.

6.2 Binary Inputs
Binary inputs are optically-isolated voltage level sensors with
a fixed threshold. The input is considered activated if voltage
above the threshold is applied and de-activated if no voltage
or voltage below the threshold is applied.
The status of the binary inputs is monitored whether they are
configured or not. As a result, the relay logs events when any
binary input changes state (from active to de-active or vice
versa).
Actions matrixed to binary inputs have the choice of being
performed when the binary input is activated (Hi) or deactivated (Lo). For example, BI1 >blk 50 Hi means that 50 is
blocked when BI1 is activated. And BI1 >blk 50 Lo means
that 50 is blocked when BI1 is de-activated.
The ISGS relay displays the options at each matrix position in

6.5 Comm Events
Protective functions are internally generated events that can
trip a relay. For the protection to function properly, the processor interprets these events (inputs) and makes a decision.
Communication (Comm) events are externally generated
messages that can trip a relay without any interpretation.
This remote communication allows Comm events to control
outputs (contacts), such as opening a breaker; or switch
parameter sets if matrixed to a binary input. Comm events
are sent from a PC or other devices on the RS-232 or
RS-485 networks.
Comm events can be blocked (disabled) with binary inputs to
prevent remote parameterization during service periods or as
a general safety measure. Refer to the list of binary inputs in
Section 6.2.
6.6 Breaker Monitoring
To increase the security of the protective system, it is helpful
to monitor several parameters directly from the switchgear.
The ISGS relay can monitor the components such as the 52a
and the 52b switches, the traditional circuit breaker position
lamps, and the tripping voltage supply.
The 52a and 52b switches have a total of four possible position combinations which can be decoded as illustrated in
Tab l e 6 .1. The 52a and 52b switches referred to are those
which traditionally provide indication of circuit breaker position (52b) and trip coil continuity (52a). All error reporting can
be enabled and disabled, and the actions to be taken are
configurable.
Table 6.1 52a and 52b Switches Decoding

The ISGS relay monitors:

trip coil continuity
trip source impedance.
Breaker position is sensed through dedicated binary inputs
that monitor the 52a and 52b switches on the breaker mechanism (breaker mounted). Trip coil continuity is monitored by
continually sensing a current that flows through the trip coil.
Trip source impedance is checked using a switchable electronic load across the trip voltage supply.

Exceptions to the normal operating conditions include the
presence of push-to-test switches across either the
a-switch, b-switch, or both. A push-to-test switch across the
b-switch will produce a false indication of a breaker mechanism error when the breaker is actually closed. A push-to
test switch across the a-switch (and hence across the trip
solenoid) will produce a false indication of a breaker mechanism error when the breaker is actually closed.

The Trip Source Impedance parameter (8301) can be
enabled or disabled. When enabled, the circuit periodically
monitors the trip supply voltage (auxiliary voltage, station battery) and will perform an action (for example, close a binary
output) should the voltage drop below ANSI minimum values. Monitoring the trip source (auxiliary power) to detect
bad connections and weak batteries is done by periodically
drawing a small current from the trip supply and monitoring
the subsequent sag in the voltage. Using averaging techniques, the trip source impedance can be estimated. Based
on this estimate, an error message is given if the source voltage drops below ANSI minimum values during a trip event.
When the function is enabled, it can cause the actuation of
any of the output contacts. This circuit can function only in
true DC trip systems. It should be disabled and the inputs left
disconnected when the device is used in AC trip systems.
The Trip Source Fail parameter of the Trip Source Impedance
function (8302), when set to yes, allows the relay fail contact
to be asserted when the monitoring function detects an error.
When set to no, the relay fail contact is not affected.
The Trip Coil Continuity function (8303), when enabled,
senses a trip coil continuity error, causes an action to be
taken, and logs the event if the 52a and 52b switches are
ever both open at the same time for more than 100 ms. No
other time delay is implemented. When the function detects
the error, the function is considered to be in pickup until the
condition is no longer present.
The Trip Coil Fail parameter of the Trip Coil Continuity function (8304), when set to yes, allows the relay fail contact to
be asserted when the monitoring function detects an error.
When set to no, the relay fail contact is not affected.
6.7 Logs and Breaker Monitor Reset
With the Reset function, the user can independently reset
logs and breaker monitoring functions. Performing the reset
operation for an individual category will reset all values within
that category to zero, but new values are tracked immediately. The Resets address block also includes functions to
set the number of breaker operations and the sum of interrupted current on each phase.

Because the 52b switch does not need to interrupt the current through the trip coil, it provides a reliable indication of
breaker position: when it is open, the breaker is considered
closed. The practice (in DC trip systems) of placing a red status indicator lamp in series with the trip coil allows a convenient method for monitoring the continuity of the trip coil.
When the circuit breaker is closed, the 52a switch is closed
and the voltage across them and the trip coil is small
because most of the voltage drop occurs across the indicating lamp circuit. If the trip coil is open or the a-switch is
defective, an error condition exists and an alarm can be generated. An exception is a breaker withdrawn for servicing.
The Breaker Mechanism function (8305), when enabled,
senses an error in the mechanism that controls the position
of one or both switches (breaker mechanism error), causes
an action to be taken, and an event to be logged if the
switches are ever both closed for more than 100 ms. No
other time delay is implemented. When this function detects
an error, it is considered to be in pickup until the condition is
no longer present.
The ISGS relay considers the b-switch to be more reliable. If
it senses the switches both open at the same time, the
breaker is considered to have a trip coil continuity error or to
be withdrawn. The 52a switch closed and the 52b switch
open are interpreted as a closed breaker. If the relay senses
the 52a switch open and the 52b switch closed, the
breaker is considered to be open. Refer also to Table 6.1.
Resetting the minimum and maximum logs with the Min/Max
Values reset function (8202) discards all current values, but
new minimum and maximum values are tracked immediately.
The Energy reset function (8203) resets all demand values.
The Breaker Operations reset function (8204) resets the
breaker operations counter.
The sum of interrupted current reset function resets the sum
of interrupted current for each phase (8205).
The Breaker Operations (Counter) reset function (8211) sets
the number of breaker operations, for example, when moving the breaker to a cubicle protected by an ISGS relay
where the previous breaker had a different operations count.
The Sum of Interrupted Current for phases A, B, and C reset
functions (8212, 8213, 8214) can be set from 0 to 99999 kA.

6.8 Breaker Operations Count
Breaker Operations refers to the number of times the device
has opened the breaker. The Breaker Operation function
allows the setting of the breaker monitoring parameters.
The Sum of Interrupted Current is the total sum of the cur-
rents that were interrupted by these breaker openings. The
setpoint is triggered when any phase exceeds the set limit.

6.10 Self-Monitoring (Value Supervision)
Value supervision refers to the relays ability to monitor its
own input and measurement functions for problems. The
complete chain, from input transformers up to and including
the A/D converter internal to the ISGS, is monitored by a
plausibility check on the measured values. These checks
consist of voltage balance checks, current balance checks,
and current summation checks.
Voltage or current balance checks can be performed to
detect open or short circuits in the external transformers and
their connections. Current summation checks are performed
on the instantaneous samples of the A/D converter.
A useful application of the current and voltage balance and
monitoring functions is the detection of blown VT fuses. A
blown fuse condition can be said to exist when the following
conditions are present:
Voltage is present but unbalanced,
AND
current is present but NOT unbalanced.
AND I20.167 I
where V1 = positive sequence voltage
Therefore, a voltage balance alarm in the absence of a current unbalance alarm is a good indication that a fuse is
blown. If a current unbalance alarm were also active, it would
indicate the presence of negative sequence current and
therefore a fault rather than a blown VT fuse.

Failure of this check will cause an event Voltage BalanceError. This event can activate an output contact.
The voltage balance pickup value (3402) can be set from 40
to 120 V in steps of 1 V. If one of the three phase voltages is
above the preset threshold, the function checks for balance.
The voltage balance factor indicates the amount of unbalance tolerated before the function generates an alarm
(3404). It ranges from 0.58 to 0.95 and can be set in steps of
0.01.
Current Summation
The Current Summation function can be enabled or disabled
(3411). When enabled, it monitors the instantaneous samples of the A/D converter using the currents flowing into all
four relay CTs regardless of whether there are four primary
CTs connected or not. The calculation is therefore valid for
systems with both residual connections or explicit neutral/
ground/zero sequence CTs.
Figure 6.5 Current Sum Threshold
Failure of this check will cause an event Current SummationError. This event can activate an output contact.
The pickup value (3412) for the current summation check
depends on the secondary phase CT rating and the value is
in secondary amperes. The value for 5 A CTs ranges from
0.5 A to 5.0 A; and the value for 1 A CTs ranges from 0.1 to
1.0 A. Both values can be set in steps of 0.1 A. If one of the
three phase currents is above the preset threshold, the monitoring function is activated.
The current summation factor indicates allowable compensation for differences between primary CTs (3414). It ranges
from 0.1 to 0.95 and can be set in steps of 0.01. This factor
is important under high fault currents or when CTs are operated closely to their rated current.
Current Balance
The Current Balance function can be enabled or disabled
(3421). When enabled, the function monitors the phase currents to see if they are approximately balanced (of equal
magnitude). Balance is defined as the ratio of minimum to
maximum current, where the maximum current is the largest
and the minimum current the smallest of the three phase currents.
Current balance monitoring is done when the maximum current is larger than the current balance pickup value. The current is considered balanced and will not cause an alarm if the
current min/max ratio is larger than the current balance factor. The current is unbalanced and will cause an alarm if the
min/max ratio is smaller than the current balance factor.

6.11 Parameter Sets
The ISGS relay can be programmed to operate with either of
two parameter setsset A or set B. Separate parameter
sets are programmed to satisfy separate user defined conditions, such as seasonal considerations or special operating
periods. For example, set A may be used for protective settings used in the summertime, whereas set B might comprise the settings appropriate to winter, when lower ambient
temperatures could allow higher loading than in the summer.
Alternatively, set A might be configured for normal production
periods, with set B reserved for construction or periodic
shutdown periods. The choice of two separate parameter
sets prevents the need to reconfigure the relay when conditions change and different parameter settings are desired.
Figure 6.2 shows the use of these parameter sets. The values in set A or B may be chosen as the active set, and are
thus put in the relays memory for easy access. The default
set includes all the factory default values and these values
are stored in long-term memory.

The pickup value (3422) for the current balance check
depends on the secondary phase CT rating and the value is
in secondary amperes. For 5 A CTs, the value ranges from
0.5 to 5.0 A; and the value for 1 A CTs ranges from 0.1 to
1.0 A. Both values can be set in steps of 0.1 A. If one of the
three phase currents is above the preset threshold, the monitoring function is activated.
The current balance factor indicates the amount of unbalance tolerated before the function generates an alarm
(3424). This factor is provided to compensate for differences
between primary CTs. It ranges from 0.1 to 0.95 and can be
set in steps of 0.01.

and, therefore, apply to both sets. Examples are protective
function enable settings and matrixed output contacts such
as waveform buffers and blocking. All parameter set functions require a password.
6.11.1 Active Set
The active parameter set refers to the parameter set that is
currently used by the ISGS relayset A or set B. The Active
Set parameter (7101) indicates which set is currently active
on the LCD using the letter A or B.
Refer to Section 6.11.3 on how to make a parameter set the
active set.
6.11.2 Default Set
The default set refers to factory default parameter settings.
These are stored in read-only memory (ROM) and cannot be
overwritten. The default set cannot become an active set in
itself, it has to be copied to either set A or set B (7104 and
7105).
6.11.3 Switching Sets
A parameter set can be made active by selecting the desired
set in the Activation parameter (7103). Switching between
sets requires 4.5 seconds.
Note: Switching the parameter sets could cause a
trip if the pickups are set lower than in the
previous set. View the settings before activating the new set.
Switching between parameter sets for viewing and configuring parameter settings is possible regardless of address or
address level currently displayed by the LCD, or whether the
parameter can be configured to an alternate setting.
2.Press Enter. The parameter set has switched to the
alternate set. The LCD displays the same address and
function as before the switch, but the address prefix has
changed to the letter representing the displayed parameter set. The alternate parameter may or may not contain a value depending on whether the alternate
parameter had been configured before.
B1502 Pickup 50
If the parameter was not configurable to an alternate set
(had no prefix), the display will not have changed.
Note: Switching the parameter sets for viewing
and configuration does not make the alternate set active.
For detailed descriptions on how to display, configure, save,
and switch parameters, and when to use a password, refer
to the standard operating procedures in Section 3.5.
Exceptions to the switching of sets are binary inputs, binary
outputs, and the trip contacts in the 6000 address blocks.
For these parameter settings, the relay retains these values
regardless of the parameter set. For example, if the output
contact is set while set A is active, switching to set B will not
change the output contact setting.
6.11.4 Copying Sets
Parameter settings for set A can be copied to set B and vice
versa (7106 and 7107). Factory default settings can also be
copied to either set A or set B (7104 and 7105), but no
parameter set can override the default settings.

The ISGS relay can connect at 2400, 4800, 9600, and
19,200 baud at both ports (7201 and 7202). Higher baud
rates will improve response and update rate, but slower PCs
may lose characters due to the high rate. Both ports can be
operated at different baud rates and simultaneously.
The Parameter Change function can be enabled or disabled.
When enabled, this function allows the remote change of the
parameter sets (A or B).
The Comm Events function can be enabled or disabled
(7204). When enabled, this function allows remote activation
of the breaker and binary outputs. The function can be disabled to prevent remote access during service periods or as
a general security measure. For more information on Comm
Events, refer to Section 6.5.
The Local Address parameter (7207) can be changed by
entering a value from 1 to 254 to assign the local SEAbus
address. Make sure that the new address does not represent
a duplicate address of another device connected to the
communications loop.
6.13 Passwords
The Configure Passwords function allows the change or display of the three passwords. This function requires your old
password before you can access the individual parameters.
All passwords can consist of one to five digits.

7303 CW-Level 31 to 5 digits
A lower level password does not allow you to scroll to a
higher level password parameter. But the higher level password always lets you move to the lower level(s). For example,
entering the level 2 password allows you to view and change
the passwords for level 2 and level 1, but the same password
does not provide access to view or change the level 3 password.
6.14 Date and Time Setting
The Date and Time Setting function sets the date and time of
the ISGS relay to match it with other connected devices and
to provide an accurate setting for event and trip information.

Address DataRange
8101 Current Date01/01/1970 00:00:00

The Current Date parameter (8101) displays the present date
and time on the clock in the ISGS relay. The date and time is
used to stamp the event and trip logs.
The date can be changed with the Set Date parameter
(8102). To enter the date, separate the month, day, and year
with a decimal point. Each field must contain two digits with
the exception of the year field which must contain four digits
(mm.dd.yyyy).
The time can be changed with the Set Time parameter
(8103). To enter the time, separate hours, minutes, and seconds with a decimal point. Each field must contain two digits
(hh.mm.ss).
Note: The clock in an ISGS relay is not a real-time
clock. It has no battery backup and will drift
over time.
If the relay is connected to an ACCESS system, the supervisory software used for this system, for example, WinPM,
reads all relays and synchronizes their clocks. If the relay is
not connected to an ACCESS system, date and time should
be set periodically, at least once a day, for accurate event
and trip information. Date and time must always be reset
after a loss of control power.
When reading events, the time can be off as much as 10 ms
because events (inputs) are not interrupt driven; they are
polled about every 10 ms. Binary inputs are also slower than
protective functions; events can be reported later even if they
occurred earlier.

Only the level 3 password (7303) can set all passwords. Use
this level if you intend to change all passwords. Level 1 and
level 2 passwords (7301 and 7302) can be displayed and
changed by entering the respective level password.

7Data Acquisition
The ISGS relay provides several forms of data acquisition
and display to give the user the most comprehensive picture
of the power system. This data includes:
event log for monitoring functions and status changes
trip logs, including date and time of trip
minimum/maximum logs for storing metering data
individual metering data
waveform captures
7.1 Event Log
The event log is a chronological record of the last 127 significant events that occur during operation of the relay and is
stored in nonvolatile memory. These events include operational events, such as enabling or disabling protective elements; and fault events, such as pickup and trip. Each entry
in the log provides a description of the event and its time (to
nearest millisecond) and date of occurrence.
Data Acquisition
Figure 7.2 Sample Trip Log Data Display (from Wisdom)
The event log cannot be viewed through the ISGS relay operator panel. It can only be viewed after being retrieved through
one of the relay communication ports using either Wisdom or
WinPM software.
Figure 7.1 Sample Event Log (viewed with Wisdom)
Events that require special attention appear in the event log
in red when displayed on a PC. The entire event log can be
saved to a file (for later viewing or printing) using Wisdom
software. For information on Wisdom software, refer to
Chapter 8.
Whenever the ISGS relay resets, such as when changing
parameter sets or output control actions, the event log is
considered invalid and all events are re-read by communications.
7.2 Trip Logs
The Trip Logs function stores times and measured data
present at the time of pickup and trip for the last eight trip
events. The information for each trip is stored in its own log.
These eight logs are located at address blocks 5100 through
5800. The most recent trip event is stored under address
5100 and the oldest of the eight trip events is stored in
address 5800. Pressing the Trip Log key takes you directly
to the trip log address block. The first trip to be sensed is the
trip to be logged

For each log the following applies:
The ISGS relay keeps a lifetime count of protective func-
tion trips. The trip number (address 001) is the count at
the time of the trip. The trip number cannot be reset
unless the relay is returned to the factory.
The pickup time (002) consists of the date and time of
the event to the nearest millisecond.
The pickup parameter (003) refers to the protective
function that caused the trip. Only protective function
trips are stored in the log (no breaker monitoring, setpoints, or communications trips are logged).
The phase parameter (004) stores the current or voltage
phase(s) that violated protective function settings.
I1, I2, I3, and IN parameters (005 to 008) give the cur-
rents at pickup for phases A, B, C, and the ground current.
V1, V2, and V3 (009 to 011) indicate the voltage at
pickup for phases A, B, and C. If VTs are connected lineto-line (refer to address 1202, Section 4.5, the line-to-
line voltage is displayed for phases A-B, B-C, and C-A.
Trip (012) displays the function that caused the trip.
Phase (013) indicates the phase that caused the trip.
I1, I2, I3, and IN (014 to 017) give the secondary cur-
rents at trip for phases A, B, C, and the ground current.
V1, V2, and V3 (018 to 020) indicate the voltage at
pickup for phases A, B, and C. If VTs are connected lineto-line (refer to address 1202, Section 4.5, the line-to-
line voltage is displayed for phases A-B, B-C, and C-A.
Total time in pickup (021) is the total time that the relay
read the voltage above the pickup value, not the time
the breaker is told to open or actually opens. The timer
is only reset when no function is in pickup.
Events that require special attention appear in the event log
in red when displayed on a PC. For information on Wisdom
software, refer to Chapter 8.
7.3 Min/Max Logs
7.3.1Current Minimum/Maximum Log
The Current Minimum/Maximum Log function allows the display of minimum and maximum values measured by the

7.6 Waveform Capture
The Waveform Capture function sets the pre-trigger time of
the two waveform buffers. You can configure the ISGS relay
to capture waveforms on a variety of events. For example,
waveforms can be captured for protective functions on
pickup or trip, or for communication events.

Address ParameterRange
8401 Wfm1Pretrp100-900 ms, default is 800 ms,
8402 Wfm2Pretrp100-900 ms, default is 800 ms,
Each buffer stores one full second of data for each wave.
This second always includes the event that caused the trip.
The pre-trip parameter of each buffer (8401 and 8402) lets
you specify where in the buffer the event appears. By setting
a time in milliseconds, you indicate how much data of this
one second wave data you want included in the buffer prior
to the trip.
For example, if buffer 1 is configured to be captured on trip
(see also Chapter 5 and its protective functions with wave-
form capture), and the activity that led up to the trip is of
great interest, buffer 1 can be configured to contain 900 ms
of pre-trigger data. These first 900 ms of pre-trigger data
represent the signal before the actual trip. The remaining
100 ms show the signal after the trip.

(1 ms steps)
A waveform stored in a buffer will be lost after a loss of control power. Exporting an important waveform immediately to
a file will prevent unexpected data loss.

8ISGS Wisdom Software
8.1 Overview
The ISGS relay is an extremely advanced protective relay for
medium voltage switchgear applications. In order to reduce
the complexity of configuring the relay, reading the metered
values, and retrieving stored data, Siemens developed ISGS
Wisdom software. Wisdom software is a Windows-based
tool that monitors and controls an ISGS relay. Wisdom software provides a flexible, easy to use interface allowing the
performance of a wide variety of tasks such as
remote configuration via network, local port, or modem
offline configuration in DEMO mode
configuration file storage
custom curve creation
display and retrieval of captured waveforms
event log retrieval
real-time data and status display
8.2 Setup
Using Wisdom software requires Microsoft® Windows®. To
make full use of the Waveform Capture display, a color monitor is highly recommended. Setting up Wisdom software
requires two basic operations:
1.Installing the program on a PC
Wisdom software is provided on a floppy diskette. The
setup program on this diskette will install Wisdom software on your hard drive and will create a Windows program group icon.
2.Connecting the relay to the PC
For local connection of the PC, install an RS-232 interface cable between the serial communications port on
the PC and the front port on the relay.
For remote connection of the PC, use an RS-232 to
RS-485 converter for direct connection and null-modem

Equation A.3 Definite Inverse Equation
In Equation A.3, the time dial term 6.33D + 0.37 is neces-
sary to convert the time dial range defined by Westinghouse
and the range that Siemens is using.
Equation (1) is valid for values of I/Ip greater than 1.5 and
equation (2) is valid for values of I/Ip between 1.0 and 1.5
(note that the equation is undefined at I/Ip = 1.0).

A.5 Custom Protective Curve
The custom curve consists of up to 60 current-time pairs
corresponding to points on the time-current characteristic
curve. Current refers to multiple-of-pickup value (I/Ip) on the
horizontal axis, and time refers to time-to-trip values on the
vertical axis. Each point consists of two values (I/Ip and t),
loaded in order from lowest to highest value of I/Ip via the
SEAbus or local ports. Siemens Wisdom software is required
in order to load a custom curve. Time-to-trip has a range of
0.00 to 655.35 seconds in steps of 0.01 seconds. I/Ip has a
range of 1.1 to 20.00 in steps of 0.01. The first point in the
data set must be I/Ip=1.1, the last point must be I/Ip=20.
Points in between these two limits can be for any values of I/
Ip and t as long as the slope (
described by the points is between 0 (horizontal) and -
∆t/(∆I/Ip)) of the curve
∞ (ver-
tical). For input current in excess of 20 x Ip, the relay will
enter a definite time mode and the curve will be considered
to be flat (constant time) at the time value associated with I/
Ip=20. Once loaded, a custom curve is not adjustable, that is
there is no time dial adjustment.
A.6 Over/Undervoltage Curves
The ISGS provides a moderately inverse overvoltage and a
moderately inverse undervoltage protection defined by the
equation in Equation A.5 and Equation A.6. Their characteristics are provided in Figure A.11 and Figure A.12.

ISGS Settings Worksheet forDate:Set A
This ISGS settings worksheet allows easy recording of the
desired ISGS parameter settings when configuring the
device manually with the keypad controls.
Functions and parameters are listed in numerical sequence
of their address blocks and addresses just as they appear on
the LCD. Where applicable, value ranges and resolution are
provided for easy reference. Only configurable functions and
parameters are listed. For a complete list refer to the ISGS
relay menu in Appendix C.
Before configuring the device, copy this form and enter the
desired configuration data. Include the device identification
number (device version number and its catalog number on
front panel label; or line 1 and line 2 of Power On display) and
the date of configuration. Then simply circle the desired set-

tings and enter numerical values in the blank spaces provided. Boldfaced settings indicate factory defaults. For
indicating matrix settings, draw a line from the matrix position
number to the desired setting and circle the setting.
Take special care in copying lines 1 and 2 of the relays
Power On display (refer to Section 4.1). The information displayed in these two lines provides Siemens with detailed
information about the device in the event you encounter a
problem and have to contact Siemens customer service.
After entering all data on this configuration form, take it to the
device and enter the information into the relay. This form
allows for the recording of both parameter sets. After completing this form, file it for future reference.
