1.1Overall Operation
The SIPROTEC 4 7SD610 line protection is equipped with a powerful microprocessor
system. This provides fully numerical processing of all functions in the device, from th e
acquisition of the measured values up to the output of commands to the circuit breakers, as well as the exchange of measured data with the other ends of the protected
area. Figure 1-1 shows the basic structure of the device.
Analog InputsThe measuring inputs (MI) convert the currents and voltages coming from the instru-
ment transformers and adapt them to the level appropriate for the in ternal processing
of the device. The device has 4 current and 4 volt age inputs . Three current inp uts are
provided for measurement of the phase currents, a further measuring input (I

A voltage measuring input is provided for each phase-earth voltage. In principle, the
differential protection does not require any measured voltage, however, for the directed overcurrent time protection the connection of the phase earth voltages U
is definitely required. Additionally voltages that allow to measure voltages and

Binary Inputs and
Outputs
Apart from processing the measured values, the microcomputer system µC also executes the actual protection and control functions. They especially consist of:
• Filtering and conditioning of the measured signals
• Continuous monitoring of the measured quantities
• Monitoring of the pickup conditions for the individual protective functions
• Formation of the local differential protection values (phasor analysis and charge
current computation) and creation of the transmissi on protocol
• Decoding of the received transmission protocol, synchronisation of the differential
protection values and summing up of the differential currents and charge currents
• Monitoring the communication with the device of the remote end
• Querying of limit values and time sequences
• Control of signals for logical functions
• Reaching trip and close command decisions
• Stocking message s, fault data and fault values for fault analysis purposes
• Administration of the operating system and its functions, e .g. data storage, realtime
clock, communication, interfaces, etc.
The information is provided via output amplifier OA.
Binary inputs and outputs from and to th e computer system are routed via the I/O
modules (inputs and outputs). The “µC” issues information to external equipment via
the output contacts. Outputs are mainly commands that are issued to the switching
devices and messages for remote signalling of events and states.
Front ElementsLEDs and an LC display provide information on the function of the device and indicate
events, states and measured values.
Integrated control and numeric keys in conjunction with the LCD facilitate local inter-
action with the local device. All information of the device can be accessed using the
integrated control and numeric keys. This information includes protective and control
settings, operating and fault indications, and measured value s; setting parameters can
be changed (see also Chapter 2 and SIPROTEC 4 System Description).
Devices with control functions also allow station control on the front panel.

1.2Application Scope
www . ElectricalPartManuals . com
The numerical Differential Prot ection SIPROTEC 4 7SD610 is a selective short-circuit
protection for overhead lines and cables with single- and multi-en ded infeeds in radial,
ring or any type of meshed systems of any transmission level. Conditioning of the
system starpoint is irrelevant, as measuring data are compared separately for each
phase.
High sensitivity and the inrush current restraint allow for the application of the 7SD610,
even if a power transformer is located within the protected zone (ordering option)
whose starpoint(s) might also be isolated, earthed or provided with a Petersen coil.
A major advantage of the differential protection principle is the inst an tan eous tripping
in the event of a short-circuit at any point within the entire protected zone. The current
transformers limit the protected zone at the ends towards the remaining system. This
rigid delimitation is the reason why the differential protection scheme shows such an
ideal selectivity.
The differential protection system requ ires a 7SD610 device as well as a set of current
transformers at either end of the pro tected zone. Voltage transformers are not required. However , they are available for indicating and processing of me asured values
(voltages, power, power factor), or when using a directional overcurrent protection
stage (ordering variant).
1.2 Application Scope
Protection
Functions
The devices located at the ends of the protected zone exchange measuring information via protection data interfaces using dedicated communication links (usually fibreoptic cables) or a communication network. Using 7SD610 a protected obje ct with two
ends can be protected: cable, overhead line or both , even with uni t-conn ected powe r
transformer (option). For each end a 7SD610 is used.
Since fault-free data transmission is the prerequisite for the proper operation of the
protection, it is continuously monitored internally.
Recognition of short circuits in the protection zone — even of weak-current or highresistive shorting — is the basic function of the device. Even complex multiphase
faults are precisely detected, as the measured values are evalua ted phase segregated. The protection system is restrained against inrush currents of power transformers.
Subsequent to energizing the line onto a fault which may be located along the entire
line length, it is possible to achieve a non-delayed trip signal.
In the event of a communication failure, the devices can automatica lly be switched to
emergency operation using an integrated time overcurrent protection until communication is restored again. This overcurrent protection has three current-independent
stages and one current-dependen t stage. Furthermore, the device has a directional
current-independent stage and a di rectional current-independent stage which ena bles
an increased selectivity of the emergency function. For inverse time overcurrent protection stages, several curves of diff erent standards are provided.
Alternatively, the time overcurrent protection can be used as a backup time overcurrent protection, i.e. it operates independent of and para llel to the differential protection
at either end.
The communication connection can be used for transmitting further information.
Besides measured values, binary commands or other information can be transmitted
as well (ordering variant).
Depending on the order variant, the short-circuit protection functions may also trip
single-pole, and may operate in co-operation with an integrated automatic reclosure
(optionally). The automatic reclose function may be used on overhead lin es for single-

Apart from the short-circuit protection functions mentioned, a thermal overload protection has been integrated which protects in particular cables and power transformers
from undue heating through overload. Furthe rmore, multi-step over and undervolta ge
as well as frequency protection and restricted earth fault protection can be used (ordering variant). An optional circuit breaker failure protection provides rapid backup
fault clearance instruction to the adjacent circuit breakers in case the local breaker
fails to respond.
Control FunctionsThe device is equipped with control functions which operate, close and open, switch-
gear via the integrated operator panel, the system interface, binary inputs, and using
a personal computer with DIGSI software. Using auxiliary contacts of the switch and
binary inputs of the device, switching states feedbacks are issued. The current status
(or position) of the primary equipment can be read out at the device, and used for interlocking or plausibility monitoring. The number of the devices to be switched is
limited by the binary inputs and output s available in the device or the binary inputs and
outputs allocated for the switch position feedbacks. Depending on the resource one
(single point indication) or two binary inputs ( double point indication) can be used. The
capability of switching primary equipment can be restricted by appropriate settings for
the switching authority (remote or local), and by the oper ating m ode (i nterlocked/noninterlocked, with or without password request). Interlocking conditions for switching
(e.g. switchgear interlocking) can be established using the integrated user-defined
logic.
Indications and
Measured Values;
Fault Recording
Communication Serial interfaces are available for the communication with operating, control and
The operational indications provide information about cond itions in the power system

Indications can be assigned to a number of LEDs on the front p anel (allocatable) , can
be externally processed via output contacts (allocatable), linked with user-definable
logic functions and/or issued via serial interfaces (see Communication below).
During a fault (power system fault) important events and changes in conditions are
saved in fault logs (Event Log or Trip Log). Instantaneous fault values are also saved
in the device and may be analyzed subsequently.
As a special feature the values are synchronized between the line terminals via the
communication link.

A 9-pin DSUB socket on the front panel is used for local communication with a person-
al computer. By means of the SIPROTEC 4 operating software DIGSI all operational
and evaluation tasks can be executed via this operator
and modifying configuration parameters and settings, configuring user-specific logic
functions, retrieving operational messages, fault re cords and measured values, inquiring device conditions and measured values, issuing control commands.
To establish an extensive communication with other digital operating, control and
memory components the device may be p rovided with further interfaces depending on
the order variant.

2.1General
A few seconds after the device is switched on, the default display appears on the LCD.
In the 7SD610 the measured values are displayed.
Configuration settings can be entered by using a PC and the DIGSI operating software
and transferred via the operator interface on the front panel of the device or via the
service interface. The procedure is described in detail in the SIPROTEC 4 System Description. Entry of password no. 7 (parameter set) is required to modif y config ur at ion
settings. Without the password, the settings may be read, but may not be modifi ed and
transmitted to the device.
The function parameters, i.e. function options, threshold values, etc., can be changed
via the front panel of the device, or via the operator or service interfa ce from a personal
computer using DIGSI. The level 5 password (individual parameters) is required.
This general section describes which device settings reflect the interaction between
your substation, its measuring points (current and voltage transformers), the analog
device connections and the various protective functions of the device.
In a first step (Subsection 2.1.1), you have to specify which protection functions you
want to use, because not all of the functions integrated in the device are necessary,
useful or even possible for your relevant case of app lica tio n.
After entering some System Data (frequency) , you inform the device (Section 2.1.2) of
the properties of the main protected object. This com prises e.g. nominal system dat a,
nominal data of instrument transformers, polarity and connectio n type of measured
values
The above information is sufficient to describe the protected object to the device's
main protection function, i.e. the differential protection. Fo r the other protection functions (e.g. overcurrent time protection) you select what measured values will be processed and in which way.
You will be informed how to set the circuit breaker data, and find out about setting
groups and how to use them.
Last but not least, you can set general data which are not dep endent on any protection
functions.
2.1.1Functional Scope
2.1.1.1Configuration of the Scope of Functions
The 7SD610 device contains a series of protective and additional fun ctions. The hard-
ware and firmware is designed for this scope of functions. In addition, the command
functions can be matched to the system conditions. In addition, individual functions
may be enabled or disabled during configuration, or inter action between functions may
be adjusted.
Example
7SD610 - devices can be used on overhead lines ev en with tra n s fo rm ers in the pro-
tected area. Overload protection should only be applied on transformers. If the device
is used for overhead lines this function has to be set "Disabled" and if used for transformers this function has to be set "Enabled".

2.1.1.2Setting Notes

2.1 General
The available protection and supplement ary functions can be configured as Enabled
or Disabled. For some functions, a choice may be presented between several
options which are explained below.
Functions configured as Disabled are not processed by the 7SD610. There are no
indications, and corresponding settin gs (functions, limit values) are not displayed
during setting.
Note
The functions and default settings available depend o n the order variant of the de vice.
Configuring the
functional scope
Special Ca sesIf use of the setting group changeover function is desired, address 103 Grp Chge
The scope of functions with the available options is set in the Functional Scope dialog
box to match plant requirements.
Most settings are self-explaining. The special cases
OPTION should be set to Enabled. In this case, up to four different groups of settings
may be changed quickly and easily during device operation (see also Section 2.1.3).
With the setting Disabled only one parameter group is available.
Address 110Trip mode is only valid for devices that can trip single-pole or threepole. Set 1-/3pole to enable also single-pole tripping, i.e. if you want to utilise singlepole or single-pole/three-pole automatic reclosure. This requires that an internal automatic reclosure function exists or that an external reclosing device is used. Furthermore, the circuit breaker must be capable of single-pole tripping.
Note
If you have changed address 110, save your changes first via OK and reopen the
dialog box since the other setting options depend on the selection in address 110.
The differential protection function DIFF.PROTECTION (address 112) as a main function of the device should always be Enabled. This also implies the supplementary
functions of the differential protection such as breaker intertrip.
are described below.
The Direct Local Trip (address 122 DTT Direct Trip) is a command that is initiated
from an external device for tripping the local circuit breaker.
At address 126 Back-Up O/C you can set the characteristic group which the time
overcurrent protection uses for operation. In addition to the definite-time overcurrent
protection (definite time) an inverse-time overcurrent protec tion can be configured that
either operates according to an IEC characteristic (TOC IEC) or to an ANSI characteristic (TOC ANSI). This selection is independent of whether the time overcurrent protection is intended to operate as emergency protection (onl y in case of protection communication failure) or as independent backup protection. Wit device variants with
directional time overcurrent protection (MLFB position 14 = R or S) you have an add itional directional definite-time overcurrent stage and a directional current dependent
inverse-time stage available to you. The characteristic curves for both inverse-time

overcurrent stages are identical. The characteristics are shown in the Technical Data
(Section 4.6). You can also disable the time overcurrent protection (Disabled).
If the device features an automatic reclosing function, a ddress 133 and 134 are of importance. Automatic reclosure is only permitted for overhead lines. It must not be used
in any other case. If the protected object consists of a combination of overhead lines
and other equipment (e.g. overhead line in unit with a transformer or overhead line/cable), reclosure is only permissible if it can be ensured that it can only take place in the
event of a fault on the overhead line. If no automatic reclosing function is desired for
the feeder at which 7SD610 operates, or if an external device is used for reclosure,
set address 133 Auto Reclose to Disabled.
In the address mentioned the number of desired reclosure cycles is set. Y o u can select
1 AR-cycle to 8 AR-cycles. Yo u can also set ASP (adaptive dead times); in this
case the behaviour of the automatic reclosure function is determined by the cycles of
the remote end. However , at one end of the lin e the nu mber of cycles m ust be configured. This end must provide an infeed. The other end can then o perate with adaptive
dead time. See Subsection 2.10 for detailed information.
The AR control mode at address 134 allows a total of four options. On the one
hand, it can be determined whether the auto reclose cycles are carried out accord ing
to the fault type detected by the pickup of the starting protective function(s) (only for
three-pole tripping) or according to the type of trip command. On the o ther hand, the
automatic reclosure function can be operated with or without action time.
The setting Trip with T-action / Trip without T-action ... (default
setting = With trip command ... ) is to be preferred if single-pole
pole auto reclose cycles are provided for and possible. In this case, different dead
times (for every AR cycle) are possible after single-pole tripping and after three-pole
tripping. The protective function that issues the trip command determines the type of
trip: Single-pole or three-pole. The dead time is controlled dependent on this.
The setting Pickup with T-action / Pickup without T-action ...
(Pickup with T-action ...) is only possible and visible if only three-pole tripping is desired. This is the case when either the order ing number o f the device model indica tes
that it is only suited for three-pole tripping, or when only three-pole tripping is configured (address 110 Trip mode = 3pole only, see above). In this case you can set
different dead times for the auto reclose cycles following 1
cisive here is the pickup situation of the protection functions at the instant the trip
command disappears. This mode also enable s to make the dead ti mes dependent on
the type of fault in the case of three-pole reclosure cycles. The tripping is always threepole.
The setting Trip with T-action provides an action time for each reclose cycle.
The action time is started by a general pickup of all protective functions. If no trip
command is present before the action time expires, the corresponding reclose cycle
is not carried out. Section 2.10 provides detailed information on this top ic. This setting
is recommended for time-graded protection. If the protection function which is to
operate with automatic reclosure does not have a general pickup signal for st arting the
action times, select ... Trip without T-action.

-, 2- and 3-phase faults. De-
Address 137U/O VOLTAGE allows to activate the voltage protection function with a
variety of undervoltage and overvoltage protection stages. In particular, the overvoltage protection with the positive sequence syste m of the measuring volt ages provides
the option to calculate the voltage at the other, remote line end via integrated compounding. This is particularly useful for long transmission lines where no-load or lowload conditions prevail and an overvoltage at the other line end (Ferranti effect) is to
cause tripping of the local circuit breaker . In this case se t address 137 U/O VOLTAGE
