Introduction
1.1 Overall Operation
1.1Overall Operation
The digital SIPROTEC 7SD80 overcurrent protection is equipped with a powerful microprocessor. It allows all
tasks to be processed digitally, from the acquisition of measured quantities to sending commands to circuit
breakers. Figure 1-1 shows the basic structure of the 7SD80 device.
Analog Inputs
The measuring inputs (MI) convert the currents and voltages coming from the instrument transformers and
adapt them to the level appropriate for the internal processing of the device. The device provides 4 current
transformers and - depending on the model - additionally 3 voltage transformers. Three current inputs serve for
the input of the phase currents, another current input (I

(current transformer starpoint) or for a separate ground current transformer (for sensitive ground fault detec-

SIPROTEC, 7SD80, Manual
There is one voltage input available for each phase-to-ground voltage. The differential protection does not need
measuring voltages due to its functional principle. Directional overcurrent protection, however, requires the
phase-to-ground voltage V
displaying voltages and power values and also measuring the line voltage for automatic reclosing. The analog
quantities are forwarded to the input amplifier group (IA).
The input amplifier group IA provides high-resistance termination for the analog input quantities. It consists of
filters that are optimized for measured value processing with regard to bandwidth and processing speed.
The analog-to-digital (AD) element consists of an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter and memory components
for data transmission to the microcomputer system.
Microcomputer System
Apart from processing the measured values, the microcomputer system µC also executes the actual protection
and control functions. They especially consist of:
• Filtering and preparation of the measured quantities
• Continuous monitoring of the measured quantities
• Monitoring of the pickup conditions for the individual protection functions
• Interrogation of limit values and time sequences
• Control of signals for the logic functions
• Decision on trip and close commands
• Recording of messages, fault data and fault values for analysis
• Administration of the operating system and its functions, e.g. data storage, realtime clock, communication,
interfaces, etc.
• Formation of the local differential protection values (phasor analysis and charge current computation) and
creation of the transmission protocol
• Decoding the received transmission protocol, synchronization of differential protection values and totaling
the differential currents and charge currents
• Monitoring the communication with the device of the remote en d

The information is provided via output amplifier OA.
Binary Inputs and Outputs
Binary inputs and outputs to and from the computer system are relayed via the input/output modules. The computer system obtains information from the system (e.g. remote resetting) or from other devices (e.g. blocking
commands). Outputs are, in particular, commands to the switchgear units and annunciations for remote signaling of important events and statuses.

Introduction
1.1 Overall Operation
Front Elements
Information such as messages related to events, states, measured values and the functional status of the
device are visualized by light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a display screen (LCD) on the front panel.
Integrated control and numeric keys in conjunction with the LCD enable communication with the remote device.
These elements enable the user to retrieve all device information such as configuration and setting parameters,
operational indications and fault indications or measured values and to edit setting parameters.
In addition, control of circuit breakers and other equipment is possible from the front panel of the device.
Interfaces
Communication with a PC can be implemented via the USB DIGSI interface using the DIGSI software allowing
the user to conveniently handle all device functions.
Port A can be used as protection interface to communicate with another 7SD80 device via an optical fiber
cable.
If you are using a copper link to create a connection to the other 7SD80 device, use the voltage terminals D1
and D2 as protection interface.
The protection data interfaces are used to transfer the data of the measured quantities from each end of the
protected zone to the opposite end. Further information such as closing of the local circuit breaker or other externally injected trip commands can be transmitted to the opposite end via the protection interface.
In addition to the device communication via DIGSI, port B can also be used to transmit all device data to a
central evaluator or a control center. This interface may be provided with various protocols and physical transmission schemes to suit the particular application.
Power Supply
The functional units described are supplied by a power supply (PS) with the adequate power in the different
voltage levels. Transient voltage dips may occur if the auxiliary voltage supply system becomes short-circuited.
Usually, they are bridged by a capacitor storage (see also the Section 4, Technical Data).
A buffer battery is located behind the lower front cover.

1.2Application Scope
The digital Line Differential Protection SIPROTEC 4 7SD80 is a selective short-circuit protection for overhead
lines and cables with single- and multi-ended infeeds in radial, ring or any type of meshed systems of any transmission level. The measured data are compared separately for each phase.
A major advantage of the differential protection principle is the instantaneous 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 requires a 7SD80 device as well as a set of current transformers at either
end of the protected zone. Voltage transformers are not required for the differential protection functions in the
7SD80; they are, however, available to record and display measured values (voltages, power, power factor) or
when using a directional overcurrent protection element.
The devices located at the ends of the protected zone exchange measuring information via protection interfaces using communication links (usually optical fiber or copper cables).
Since fault-free data transmission is the prerequisite for the proper operation of the protection, it is continuously
monitored internally.
Introduction
1.2 Application Scope
Protection Functions
The device's basic function is to detect short-circuits or ground faults in the protected zone – even weak-current
or high-resistance short-circuits. Even complex multiphase faults are detected correctly, as the measured
values are evaluated separately for each phase. The protection is restraint against inrush currents of power
transformers. When switching a line onto a fault, it is possible to send an instantaneous trip signal. The 7SD80
line differential protection includes the differential protection functions of phase comparison protection and
ground fault differential protection. Both differential protection functions operate independently of each other.
In the event of a communication failure, the devices can automatically switch to emergency operation using an
integrated overcurrent protection until communication is restored. The overcurrent protection comprises two
definite time-overcurrent protection elements and one inverse time-overcurrent protection element. Both elements operate directional or non-directional. Additionally, the device features a third definite time-overcurrent
protection element that always operates non-directionally.
For inverse time overcurrent protection, several characteristic curves of different standards are available.
Alternatively, the time overcurrent protection can be used as a backup time overcurrent protection, i.e. it oper-
ates independent of and parallel to the differential protection at either end.
The communication link can be used for transmitting further information. Besides measured values, it is possi-
ble to transmit binary information.
All protection functions in the 7SD80 always trip 3-pole. They can work together with an integrated automatic
reclose function (optional). The automatic reclose functions enables 3-pole automatic reclosing with two
reclose attempts.
The thermal overload protection protects cables and power transformers from inadmissible heating due to overload.
Additionally, a two-element overvoltage and undervoltage protection and a four-element frequency protection
can be used. A circuit-breaker failure protection monitors the response of the circuit breaker following a trip
command.

Introduction
1.2 Application Scope
Control Functions
The device provides a control function which can be accomplished for activating and deactivating switchgear
via operator buttons, port B, binary inputs and - using a PC and the DIGSI software - via the front interface.
The switch positions are fed back to the device via auxiliary contacts of the circuit breakers and binary inputs.
The current switch positions can be read out at the device and used for plausibility monitoring and interlockings.
The number of the devices to be switched is limited by the binary inputs and outputs available in the device or
the binary inputs and outputs allocated for the switch position feedbacks. Depending on the equipment, one
binary input (single point indication) or two binary inputs (double point indication) can be used. The release to
switch can be restricted by appropriate settings for the switching authority (remote or local), and by the operating mode (interlocked/non-interlocked, with or without password validation). Interlocking conditions for
switching (e.g. switchgear interlocking) can be defined with the help of integrated user-configurable logic functions.
Messages and Measured Values; Recording of Event and Fault Data
The operational indications provide information about conditions in the power system and the device. Measurement quantities and values that are calculated can be displayed locally and communicated via the serial interfaces.
Device messages can be assigned to a number of LEDs on the front cover (allocatable), can be externally processed via output contacts (allocatable), linked with user-definable logic functions and/or issued via serial interfaces.
During a fault (system fault) important events and changes in conditions are saved in fault protocols (Event Log
or Trip Log). Instantaneous fault values are also saved in the device and may be analyzed subsequently.
Communication
The following interfaces are available for communication with external operating, control and memory systems.
The USB DIGSI interface on the front cover serves for local communication with a PC. With the SIPROTEC 4
operating software DIGSI, all operation and evaluation tasks can be executed using this operator interface, for
instance specifying and editing configuration parameters and settings, configuring user-specific logic functions,
retrieving operational messages and measured values, inquiring device conditions and measured values,
issuing control commands.
Port A is located on the bottom side of the device. This protection data interface connects the device to its
partner device at the remote end of the protected object.
Alternatively, you can implement the communication link using the voltage terminals D-1 and D-2.
Port B serves for central communication between the device and a control center. It can be operated via data
lines or optical fiber cables. For the data transfer, standardized protocols according IEC 60870-5-103 are available. The integration of the devices into the SINAUT LSA and SICAM automation systems can also be implemented with this profile.
Alternatively, there are additional connection options available in connection with PROFIBUS DP and the
DNP3.0 and MODBUS protocols. If an EN100 module is available, it is also possible to use the IEC61850 protocol.
You can also use port B to connect a time synchronization device such as DCF77 or IRIG-B.

A system consists of overhead lines and underground cables. Since automatic reclosing is only needed for the
overhead lines, the automatic reclosing function is disabled for the relays protecting the underground cables.
The available protection functions and additional functions can be configured as Enabled or Disabled. For
some functions, there is a choice between several alternatives possible, as described below.
Functions configured as Disabled are not processed in the 7SD80. There are no messages issued and the
corresponding settings (functions, limit values) are not queried during configuration.
Note
Available functions and default settings depend on the ordered variant of the relay (see A.1 for details).

Setting the Scope of Functions
Your protection device is configured using the DIGSI software. Connect your personal computer either to the
USB port on the device front or to port B on the bottom side of the device depending on the device version
(ordering code). The operation via DIGSI is explained in the SIPROTEC 4 System Description.
The Device Configuration dialog box allows you to adjust your device to the prevailing system conditions.
Password no. 7 is required (for parameter set) to change configuration parameters in the device. Without the
password you can only read the settings but not edit and transmit them to the device.
Special Settings
Most settings are self-explaining. The special cases are described in the following.
If you want to use the setting group change function, set address 103 Grp Chge OPTION to Enabled. In this
case, you can select up to four different groups of function parameters between which you can switch quickly
and conveniently during operation. Only one setting group can be used when selecting the option Disabled.
The differential protection function 87 DIFF.PROTEC. (address 112) as a main function of the device should
always be Enabled. This also applies to the supplementary functions of the differential protection such as
breaker intertrip.
Functions
2.1 General
The external trip initiation (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 an inverse-time overcurrent protection can
be configured that either operates according to an IEC characteristic (50(N) 51(N) IEC) or to an ANSI characteristic (50(N) 51(N)ANSI). This selection is independent of whether the time overcurrent protection is intended to operate as emergency protection (only in case of protection communication failure) or as independent backup protection. Device versions equipped with directional overcurrent protection (MLFB position 14 =
R or S) additionally provide a directional definite time overcurrent protection element and a directional inverse
time overcurrent protection element. The characteristic curves of the two inverse time overcurrent protection
elements are identical. The different characteristic curves are shown in the Technical Data (Section 4.6). You
can also disable the time overcurrent protection (Disabled).
Set to Disabled, the entire time overcurrent protection can be disabled.
For overload protection you can define in address 142 49 whether the function is to be Enabled or Disabled.
In address 139 you can set the breaker failure protection to Enabled or Disabled. The setting option
enabled w/ 3I0> subjects the ground current and the negative sequence current to a plausibility check.
If the device features an automatic reclosing function, address
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), reclosing is only permissible if it is ensured that reclosing will only be performed in the
event of a fault on the overhead line. If no automatic reclosing function is desired for the feeder at which 7SD80
operates, or if an external device is used for reclosure, set address 133 79 Auto Recl. to Disabled. Or
you can enter the number of desired reclosing attempts there. Y ou can select 1 AR-cycle or 2 AR-cycles.

Functions
2.1 General
The AR control mode at address 134 allows a maximum of four options. On the one hand, it can be determined whether the automatic reclosure cycles are carried out according to the fault type detected by the pickup
of the starting protective function(s) or according to the type of trip command. On the other hand, the automatic reclosing function can be operated with or without action time.
The setting Trip ... (with trip command ..., default setting) allows you to specify different dead times for each
automatic reclose cycle.
The setting Pickup ... (with pickup ...) allows you to enter different dead times for the automatic reclose
cycles for 1
-phase, 2-phase and 3-phase short circuits. The pickup status of the protection functions at the
instant the trip command disappears is decisive here. This operating mode enables making the dead times dependent on the type of fault also for three-pole reclosure cycles. Tripping is always three-pole.
The setting ... w/ Tact (with ... action time) provides an action time for each automatic reclose cycle. The
action time is started by a general pickup of all protection functions. If there is no trip command yet when the
action time has expired, the corresponding automatic reclosure cycle cannot be executed. Section 2.11 provides detailed information on this topic. For time graded protection this setting is recommended. If the protection function which is to operate with automatic reclosure does not have a general pickup signal for starting the
action times, select ... w/o Tact (without action time).
Address 13727/59 allows activating the voltage protection function with a variety of undervoltage and overvoltage protection elements.
For the trip circuit supervision enter the number of trip circuits to be monitored at address 140 74 Trip Ct Supv: 1 trip circuit, 2 trip circuits or 3 trip circuits, unless you omit it (Disabled).
If the device is connected to voltage transformers, specify this condition in address 144 V-TRANSFORMER. The
voltage-based functions, for instance the directional overcurrent protection elements, the ground fault differential protection in resonant-grounded/isolated systems or determination of the voltage-based measured values,
can only be activated if voltage transformers are connected.
The flexible protection functions can be configured via parameter FLEXIBLE FUNC.. You can create up to 20
flexible functions by setting a checkm ark in front of the desired function. If the checkmark of a function is removed, all settings and configurations made previously will be lost. After re-selecting the function, all settings
and configurations are in default setting. The flexible function can be configured in DIGSI at „ Settings“, „Additional Functions“ and „Settings“. The routing is done, as usual, under „Settings“ and „Masking I/O“. If you want
to use the flexible protection function, the device must be connected to voltage transformers.

2.1.2Device, General Settings
The device requires some general information. This may be, for example, the type of annunciation to be issued
in the event of an occurrence of a power system fault.
2.1.2.1Description
Command-dependent Messages "No Trip – No Flag"
The indication of messages masked to local LEDs and the generation of additional messages can be made
dependent on whether the device has issued a trip signal. This information is then not output if during a system
disturbance one or more protection functions have picked up but no tripping by the 7SD80 resulted because
the fault was cleared by a different device (e.g. on another line). These messages are then limited to faults in
the line to be protected.
The following figure illustrates the creation of the reset command for stored messages. By the moment of the
device dropout, the presetting of the parameter610 FltDisp.LED/LCD decides, whether the new fault will be
stored or reset.
Functions

Fault Display
A new pickup by a protection element generally turns off any previously lit LEDs so that only the latest fault is
displayed at any one time. It can be selected whether the stored LED displays and the spontaneous fault indications on the display appear upon the new pickup, or only after a new trip signal is issued. In order to select
the desired displaying mode, select the submenu Device in the SETTINGS menu. Under address 610 FltDisp.LED/LCD the two alternatives Target on PU and Target on TRIP ("No trip – no flag") can be
selected.
Use parameter 615 Spont. FltDisp. to specify whether or not a spontaneous fault message should appear
automatically on the display (YES) or not (NO).
Selection of Default Display
The start page of the default display appearing after startup of the device can be selected in the device data
via parameter 640 Start image DD. The pages available for each device version are listed in the Appendix
A.5.
Protection Interface Test Mode
To check the communication quality of the two 7SD80 devices during commissioning, set parameter 650 PDI
Test Mode to ON. The availability of the communication link via the protection interface is displayed as a sta-
tistical value (see Section 2.17.2).

2.1.3General Power System Data (Power System Data 1)
The device requires certain data regarding the network and substation so that it can adapt its functions to this
data depending on the application. The data required include for instance rated data of the substation and the
measuring transformers, polarity and connection of the measured quantities, if necessary features of the circuit
breakers, and others. Furthermore, there are several function parameters associated with several functions
rather than one specific protection, control or monitoring function. The Power System Data 1 can generally only
be changed from a PC running DIGSI and are discussed in this section.
2.1.3.1Setting Notes
Polarity of Current Transformers
In address 201CT Starpoint the polarity of the current transformers must be entered, in other words, the
location of the CT starpoint (Figure 2-2). The setting defines the measuring direction of the device (current in
line direction is defined as positive at both line ends). The reversal of this parameter also reverses the polarity
of the ground current input I
.

Functions
2.1 General
Figure 2-2Polarity of current transformers
Nominal Values of Transformers
In addresses 203 Vnom PRIMARY and 204 Vnom SECONDARY the device obtains information on the primary
and secondary rated voltage (phase-to-phase voltage) of the voltage transformers.
The voltage connection is required for all functions that work on the basis of power or voltage values, e.g.
ground fault differential protection in resonant-grounded/isolated systems, directional overcurrent protection,
voltage protection, frequency protection, and to display and record the voltages.
Please make sure that the rated secondary transformer current matches the rated current of the device.
Correct entry of the primary data is a prerequisite for the correct computation of operational measured values
with primary magnitude. If the settings of the device are performed with primary values using DIGSI, these
primary data are an indispensable requirement for the correct function of the device.

Example
Phase current transformers 500 A/5 A
Core balance CT 300 A / 5AI4/IphCT = 300/500 = 0.6
• Connecting the I4 input to the starpoint current of a transformer; this is used for the ground fault differential
protection:
Address 220 is then set to: I4 transformer = and address 221I4/Iph CT depends on the transformation ratio of the starpoint transformer to the transformer set of the protected line.
• If the input I4 is not required, set:
Address 220I4 transformer = Not connected,
Address 221I4/Iph CT is then irrelevant.
In this case, the neutral current is calculated by summing the phase currents.
Rated Frequency
The rated frequency of the system is set at address 230 Rated Frequency. The factory setting of the model
variant must only be changed if the device is to be used for a purpose other than intended when ordering. You
can set 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
:
System Starpoint
The manner in which the system neutral point is grounded must be considered for the correct processing of
ground faults and double ground faults. Accordingly, set address 207 SystemStarpoint = Grounded, Peterson-C.Gnd. or Isolated. For low-resistance or high-resistance („impedance grounded“) systems,
set Grounded.
Depending on the setting of this parameter, the ground fault differential protection uses either the measured
ground current (Grounded) or the values calculated from the power values (Peterson-C.Gnd. or
Isolated).

Command Duration
In address 240 the minimum trip command duration TMin TRIP CMD is set. It applies to all protection and
control functions that can initiate a trip command. It also determines the duration of the trip pulse when a circuitbreaker trip test is initiated via the device. This parameter can only be set in DIGSI at Display Additional Set-tings.
In address 241 the maximum close command duration TMax CLOSE CMD is set. This applies to all close commands issued by the device. It also determines the length of the close command pulse when a circuit-breaker
test cycle is issued via the device. It must be long enough to ensure that the circuit breaker has securely closed.
An excessive duration causes no problem since the cl osing command is interrupted in the event that another
trip is initiated by a protection function. This parameter can only be set in DIGSI at Display Additional Set-
tings.
Circuit-Breaker Test
7SD80 allows a circuit-breaker test during operation using a trip-and-close command entered on the front panel
or from DIGSI. The duration of the trip command is set as explained above. Address 242 T-CBtest-dead
determines the duration from the end of the trip command until the start of the close command for this test. It
should not be less than 0.1 s.

(voltages in accordance with connection) are sampled at intervals of 1.0 ms (for 50 Hz) and stored in a revolving
buffer (20 samples per cycle). In the event of a fault, the data is stored for a set period of time, but not for more
than 5 seconds. Up to 8 fault events can be recorded in this buffer. The fault record memory is automatically
updated with every new fault so that there is no acknowledgment for previously recorded faults required. In addition to protection pickup, the recording of the fault event data can also be started via a binary input or via the
serial interface.
2.1.4.1Description
The data of a fault event can be read out via the device interface and evaluated with the help of the SIGRA 4
graphic analysis software. SIGRA 4 graphically represents the data recorded during the fault event and also
calculates additional information from the measured values. Currents and voltages can be presented either as
primary or as secondary values. Signals are additionally recorded as binary tracks (marks) e.g. "pickup", "trip".
Functions
2.1 General
If port B of the device has been configured correspondingly, the fault record data can be imported by a central
controller via this interface and evaluated. Currents and voltages are prepared for a graphic representation.
Signals are additionally recorded as binary tracks (marks) e.g. "pickup", "trip".
The retrieval of the fault data by the central controller takes place automatically either after each protection
pickup or after a tipping.
Note
The signals used for the binary tracks can be allocated in DIGSI.
2.1.4.2Setting Notes
Specifications
The actual storage time encompasses the pre-fault time PRE. TRIG. TIME (address 411) ahead of the reference instant, the normal recording time and the post-fault time POST REC. TIME (address 412) after the

2.1.6General Protection Data (Power System Data 2)
The general protection data (P.System Data 2) include settings associated with all functions rather than a

they can be changed over with the setting groups and set on the operator panel of the device.
2.1.6.1Setting Notes
Rated Values of Protected Lines
With address 1103 FullScaleVolt. you inform the device of the primary nominal voltage (phase-to-phase)
of the equipment to be protected (if voltages are applied). This setting influences the displays of the operational
measured values in %.
The primary nominal current (address 1104 FullScaleCurr.) is that of the protected object. For cables the
thermal continuous current-loading capacity can be selected. For overhead lines the rated current is usually
not defined. set the rated current of the current transformers (as set in address 205 CT PRIMARY, Section
2.1.3.1). If the current transformers have different nominal currents at the ends of the protected object, set the
highest nominal current value for all ends.
This setting will not only have an impact on the indication of the operational measured values in per cent, but
must also be exactly the same for each end of the protected object, since it is the basis for the current
comparison at the ends.
General Line Data
The directional values (power, power factor, work and based on work: minimum, maximum, average and
threshold values), calculated in the operational measured values, are usually defined positive in direction to the
protected object. This requires that the connection polarity for the entire device is configured accordingly in the
P.System Data 1 (compare also „Polarity of the Current Transformers“, address 201). But it is also possible
to define the „forward“ direction for the protection functions and the positive direction for the power etc. differently, e.g. so that the active power flow (from the line to the busbar) is indicated in the positive sense. To do
so, set address 1107 P,Q sign to reversed. If the setting is not reversed (default), the positive direction
for the power etc. corresponds to the „forward“ direction for the protection functions.

Circuit-Breaker Status
Information regarding the circuit-breaker position is required by various protection and supplementary functions
to ensure their optimal functionality. The device has a circuit-breaker status recognition which processes the
status of the circuit-breaker auxiliary contacts and contains also a detection based on the measured currents
and voltages (see also Section 2.16).
In address 1130 the residual current PoleOpenCurrent is set, which will definitely not be exceeded when
the circuit-breaker pole is open. If parasitic currents (e.g. through induction) can be excluded when the circuit
breaker is open, this setting may be very sensitive. Othe rwise this setting must be increased. Usually the presetting is sufficient. This parameter can only be set in DIGSI at Display Additional Settings.
The seal-in time SI Time all Cl. (address 1132) de termines the period of time during which the active
protection functions are enabled following each energization of the line. This time is started when the internal
switching detection function recognizes closing of the circuit breaker or if the circuit-breaker auxiliary contacts
or a binary device input signal that the circuit breaker was closed. The time must therefore be longer than the
command time of these protection functions plus a safety margin. This parameter can only be set in DIGSI at

In address 1134Line Closure the criteria for the internal recognition of line energization are determined.
Only with ManCI means that only the manual close signal via binary input or the integrated control is evaluated as closure. I OR V or ManCl means that additionally the measured currents or voltages are used to
determine closure of the circuit breaker, whereas 52a OR I or M/C implies that either the currents or the
states of the circuit-breaker auxiliary contacts are used to determine closure of the circuit breaker. If the voltage
transformers are not arranged on the line side, the setting 52a OR I or M/C must be used. In the case of I or Man.Close only the currents or the manual close signals are used to recognize closing of the circuit breaker.
Functions
2.1 General
Before each closing detection, the circuit breaker must be recognized as being open for the settable time 1133 T DELAY SOTF.
Address 1135Reset Trip CMD determines under which conditions a trip command is reset. If
CurrentOpenPole is set, the trip command is reset as soon as the current disappears. It is important that the
value set in address 1130 PoleOpenCurrent(see above) is undershot. If Current AND 52a is set, the
circuit-breaker auxiliary contact must send a message that the circuit breaker is open. It is a prerequisite for
this setting that the position of the auxiliary contacts is allocated via a binary input.
For special applications, in which the device trip command does not always lead to a complete cutoff of the
current, the setting Pickup Reset can be chosen. In this case, the trip command is reset as soon as the
pickup of the tripping protection function drops off and - just as with the other setting options- the minimum trip
command duration (address 240) has elapsed. The setting Pickup Reset makes sense, for instance, during
the test of the protection equipment, when the system-side load current cannot be cut off and the test current
is injected in parallel to the load current.
While the time SI Time all Cl. (address 1132, see above) is activated following each recognition of line
energization, SI Time Man.Cl (address 1150) defines the time following manual
closure during which
special influence on the protection functions is activated. This parameter can only be set in DIG S I at Display Additional Settings.

2.1.8Protection Interface
2.1.8.1Description
General
For a layout of lines with two ends, you need one protection interface for each device. Depending on the ordering code, the device features a protection interface via optical fiber (Prot FO) and/or a protection interface via
copper connection (Prot Cu). To connect Prot Cu, use the voltage terminals D1 and D2.
The input of the protection interface Prot Cu has an insulated design. The integrated overvoltage protection
reduces the insulation strength. Use an external isolating transformer to increase the insulation strength. The
ordering data can be found in Section A.1 under Accessories.
If the device has 2 protection interfaces, the data are preferably exchanged with the device at the other end of
the protected object via the FO protection interface. If the optical fiber link fails, the device automatically switches to the Cu protection interface. When the optical fiber link is restored, the FO protection interface automatically resumes communication.
If you want to have the communication link monitored, you have to define the minimum reception level, the
maximum permissible fault rate and monitoring times for each device during parameterization. The device's
role within the communication line, i.e. whether it operates as master or slave, is defined in the differential protection topology. For further information, please refer to 2.2.1.

2.2.2Phase Comparison Protection
2.2.2.1Description
General
The phase comparison protection evaluates the phase currents at both ends of the protected object. The two
7SD80 devices at the ends of the protected object communicate over their protection interfaces. The phasespecific comparison and the resulting decision to trip the circuit breaker is made separately for each end.
The digitalized currents are first filtered to suppress DC components and higher harmonics.
Functions
2.2 Phase Comparison Protection and Ground Differential Protection
Figure 2-4Phase comparison protection, determination of the input variables
These filtered values are available to a sensitive dynamic element and a static element. By comparing the polarity of the currents at the two ends of the protected object, they recognize whether the fault is external or internal. An internal fault applies if the polarity of the fault currents is identical on both sides; an internal fault or
a load step occurs with different polarities.
If the comparison shows without any doubt that a fault is present, the trip command is sent. It is maintained
over a set minimum command duration.
The phase comparison protection may trip only at one end in case of single-end infeed. The non-feeding end
can also be switched off by means of a transfer trip signal.
Element Idyn
The dynamic filter algorithm generates the value idyn(t). It represents the current change of the filtered value
(fundamental component) over two cycles. If the current change exceeds the set threshold 87L Idyn>, the
phase comparison protection is started.
The polarity of the current change is transmitted to the device at the remote end of the protected object.
The dynamic element operates very sensitively in case of internal faults. In case of external faults, the method
is very stable even during different primary rated currents or different saturation of the current transformers at
the two ends.
Element Istat
The static element Istat operates directly with the filtered fundamental value. If the amplitude of the fundamental component exceeds the set threshold 87L Isteady>, the phase comparison protection is started.
The polarity of the current is transmitted to the device at the remote end of the protected object.
The static element is insensitive towards low fault currents.

Pickup Logic
The dynamic and the static element pick up independently of each other selectively for each phase.
To prevent tripping during an energization, a separate dynamic switch-on threshold 87L Idyn close> is
used.
The pickup is maintained over 2 measuring cycles. After the 2 measuring cycles have expired, the dynamic
sign comparison is blocked.
If the pickup is successful, an internal pickup signal is transmitted to the other device.
The element Idyn is blocked if the frequency deviates by more than 10 % from the rated frequency.
The function is blocke d if t he comm unic ation b etwe en th e two devices at the ends of the protected object fails
for more than two measuring cycles.
This function can also be blocked via binary input „>87L block“.

Time Delays
The trip time delay for 87L Isteady> is set in address 1206 87L Trip Delay.
With the inrush current detection activated, the time delay 87L Trip Delay must be at least 20 ms for the
blocking by the inrush current detection to be effective. In resonant-grounded or isolated systems, transients
must have subsided before tripping takes place. The delay should be at least 3 cycles (60 ms at 50 Hz and
54 Ms at 60 Hz). For large systems, the time delay must be increased accordingly (see Figure 2-16).
At address 1208 87L: T EFdetect you set the time after which an evolving fault is detected. The parameter
is disabled in resonant-grounded or isolated power systems. In the specified time, the 1-phase trip command
of the dynamic element 87L: T EFdetect is not forwarded to the tripping logic.
Address 120787L Man. Close allows you to set the behavior of the phase comparison protection for manual
closing for 87L Isteady>. In this case, tripping can be DELAYED or UNDELAYED (see Figure 2-16).
At parameter 1214 87L:Inrush blk. you can enable or disable the blocking function for the phase comparison in case of inrush. If the parameter is enabled, tripping of the element 87L Idyn> is generally delayed by
one cycle. Inrush blocking can thus become effective.

2.2 Phase Comparison Protection and Ground Differential Protection
2.2.3Ground Current Differential Protection in Grounded Systems
The ground current differential protection of the 7SD80 operates as a stabilized (restrained) differential protection in grounded systems. The two 7SD80 devices exchange the phasors of the ground currents and the associated restraining quantities over their protection interfaces. The restraining currents and the current phasors
are summed up in each device and compared to a pickup characteristic. In the event of an internal short-circuit,
the associated circuit breaker is tripped.
2.2.3.1Description
Basic Principle / Influencing Variables
In healthy operation, both ends of a line carry the same current. This current flows into one side of the considered zone and leaves it again on the other side. A difference in current is a clear indication of a fault within this
line section.
If the actual current transformation ratios are the same, the secondary windings of the current transformers CT1
and CT2 at the line ends can be connected to form a closed electric circuit with a secondary current I; a measuring element M which is connected to the electrical balance point remains at zero current in healthy operation.
Functions
When a fault occurs in the zone limited by the transformers, a current i
currents I
+ I2 flowing in from both sides is fed t o the measuring element. As a result, the simple circuit ensures
1
+ i2 which is proportional to the fault
1
reliable tripping of the protection if the fault current flowing into the protected zone during a fault is high enough
for the measuring element M to respond.
Figure 2-10Basic principle of the differential protection for a line with two ends
This principle only applies to the primary system as long as quadrature-axis components of current are negligible. Quadrature-axis components of current can be caused by line capacitances or excitation currents of
transformers and parallel reactors.
The secondary currents which are applied to the devices via the current transformers, are subject to measuring
errors caused by the response characteristic of the current transformers and the input circuits of the devices.
Transmission errors such as signal jitters can also cause deviations of the measured quantities. As a result of
all these influences, the total sum of all currents processed in the devices in healthy operation is not exactly
zero. The ground current differential protection is stabilized against these influences.
Additional measuring errors which may arise in the device itself by hardware tolerances, calculation tolerances,
deviations in time or due to the „quality“ of the measured quantities such as harmonics and deviations in frequency, are also estimated by the device and increase the local self-restraining quantity automatically. Here,
the permissible variations in the protection data transmission and processing periods are also considered.
For transient inrush currents the devices have a separate inrush current restraint feature.

Functions
2.2 Phase Comparison Protection and Ground Differential Protection
Evaluation of Measured Values
The ground current differential protection in grounded systems evaluates the sum of the ground current phasors.
Each device calculates a ground current at each end of the protected object (fundamental component of the
ground current) and transmits it to the partner device. The received and the locally measured ground current
phasor is added to the ground differential current. The ground differential current value equals the fault current
that the differential protection system „sees“. In the ideal case, it equals the short-circuit current. In healthy operation, the differential current value is low and for lines about similar to the capacitive charging current.
The restraining quantity counteracts the ground differential current. It is the total of the maximum measured
errors at the ends of the protected object and is calculated from the current measured quantities and power
system parameters that were set. Therefore, the highest possible error value of the current transformers within
the nominal range and/or the short-circuit current range is multiplied with the current flowing through each end
of the protected object. The total value, including the measured internal errors, is then transmitted to the other
end. This is the reason why the restraint current is a replica of the greatest possible measurement error of the
entire differential protection system.
The pickup characteristic of the differential protection is derived from the restraining characteristic I

(45°
curve) which is cut off below the setting value 87N L: I-DIFF>. It complies with the equation
I
= 87N L: I-DIFF> + Σ (current transformer errors and other measuring errors).

If the calculated differential current exceeds the pickup threshold and the greatest possible measurement error,
the fault must be internal (grayed area in the illustration).

Figure 2-11Pickup characteristic of the ground differential protection
If it is desired that an internal fault should initiate a TRIP command and additionally a local current of a specific
quantity should exist, the value of this current can be set at address 1225 87N L: I>RELEAS. The default
setting for this parameter is zero so that this additional criterion does not become effective.
The differential current and the restraint current 3I0diff and 3I0restr are included in the fault record.

The operating mode of the ground differential protection depends on the neutral point treatment in the protected
zone. In grounded systems, address 207 SystemStarpoint must be set to Grounded.
The ground differential protection can be switched ON or OFF at address 1221 87N L: Protect.. This requires the ground differential protection to be set to Enabled at address 112 87 DIFF.PROTEC.. The setting Alarm only is only relevant for ground fault detection in resonant-grounded or isolated systems.
If a device is switched off or if the ground differential protection is disabled or blocked in a device, calculation
of measured values becomes impossible. The entire ground differential protection system of both ends is
blocked in this case.
Pickup Value Ground Current Differen t ial Pro tecti on
The current sensitivity is set at address 1222 87N L: I-DIFF>. It is determined by the entire current flowing
into a protected zone in case of a fault. This is the total fault current regardless of how it is distributed between
the ends of the protected obj ect.
This pickup value must be set to a value that is higher than the total steady-state quadrature-axis component
of current of the protected object. For cables and long overhead lines, the charging current has to be considered in particular. It is calculated from the operational capacitance (see Section 2.2.2.2).
Time Delays
Considering the variations of voltage and frequency, the value set should be at least 2,5 to 3 times higher than
the calculated charging current. Moreover, the pickup value should not be smaller than 15 % of the primary
rated current of the largest transformer in the protection configuration.
If setting is performed from a personal computer using DIGSI, the parameters can be set either as primary or
as secondary quantities. If secondary quantities are set, all currents must be converted to the secondary side
of the current transformers.
In special application cases, it may be advantageous to delay the tripping of the differential protection using an
additional timer, e.g. in case of reverse interlocking. The time delay 87N L: T-DELAY (address 1224) is only
started upon detection of an internal fault. This parameter can only be set in DIGSI at Display Additional Set-tings.
With the inrush current restraint activated, the time delay 87N L: T-DELAY must be at least 20 ms for the
blocking by the inrush current restraint to be effective.
If it is desired that a TRIP command is generated in the event of an internal fault only if simultaneously the
current of the local line end has exceeded a specific quantity, then this current threshold can be set for enabling
the differential protection TRIP at address 1225 87N L: I>RELEAS. This parameter can only be set in DIGSI
at Display Additional Settings.

2.2.4Ground Fault Differential Protection in Resonant-grounded/Isolated Systems
The ground fault differential protection can be applied in power systems whose starpoint is not grounded or
grounded through an arc suppression coil (Petersen coil). It is based on the power values. Th is requires the
phase voltages or the 3V0 voltage (Appendix A.3, Figure A-11) to be connected to the devices at both ends of
the protected object.
2.2.4.1Description
General
Single-phase ground faults are not detected by the short-circuit protection since no short circui t current flow s.
The power system operation is not immediately affected by a ground fault (the voltage triangle is maintained,
Figure 2-13). Therefore, fast tripping is usually not required or desired. The ground fault is to be detected, indicated and the affected piece of equipment is to be localized, if possible, eliminating the ground fault by initiating appropriate switching operations.
The 7SD80 enables the precise localization of the piece of equipment (line) affected by the ground fault.
In resonant-grounded systems, a core balance current transformer must be used to detect the ground current.

2.2 Phase Comparison Protection and Ground Differential Protection
Sensitive Ground Fault Direction Determinati on
The direction of the ground fault can be determined from the direction of the ground fault current in relation to
the displacement voltage. The only restriction is that the active or reactive current components must be available with sufficient magnitude at the point of measurement.
In networks with isolated starpoint, the ground fault current flows as capacitive current from the healthy lines
via the measuring point to the point of ground fault. For the determination of the direction the capacitive reactive
power is most relevant.
In networks with arc suppression coils, the Petersen coil superimposes a corresponding inductive current on
the capacitive ground fault current when a ground fault occurs, so that the capacitive current at the point of fault
is compensated. Depending on the measuring point in the system the resultant measured current may be inductive or capacitive. Therefore, the reactive current is not suited for direction determination of the ground current. In this case, only the ohmic (active) residual current which results from the losses of the Petersen coil can
be used for direction determination. This residual ground fault residual current is only about some per cent of
the capacitive ground fault current.
The active and reactive component of the power is decisive for the ground fault protection pickup.
A fault in forward direction must be detected at both ends of the protected object for the ground fault differential
protection to pick up.
In case of a single feeder, the residual current per watt at the opposite end of the infeed can be so weak that it
is impossible to determine the direction at that end. In this case, the amplitudes of the active currents of the two
ends are additionally compared to initiate pickup and localize the ground fault.
Pickup Logic
The amplitude of the active current (resonant-grounded system) and the reactive current (for isolated starpoint)
are included in the fault record. The local wattmetric ground current or reactive current is recorded as Iee1, the
wattmetric ground current or the reactive current of the opposite end as Iee2.
The following figure shows the pickup logic of the ground fault differential protection resonant-grounded or isolated systems.

You will find the logic diagram for the differential protection trip in Section 2.2.5.
2.2.4.2Setting Notes
General
The operating mode of the ground differential protection depends on the neutral point treatment in the protected
zone. In resonant-grounded or isolated system, you have to set Peterson-C.Gnd. or Isolated at address
207SystemStarpoint.
The ground differential protection can be switched ON or OFF at address 1221 87N L: Protect.. If set to
Alarm only, an indication will be output when a fault is detected. Tripping is not initiated. This requires the
ground differential protection to be set to Enabled at address 112 87 DIFF.PROTEC..
If a device is switched off at any end of the protected object or if the protection interface communication is interrupted, a calculation of measured values becomes impossible. The function then operates locally and only
issues directional indications and pickup indications but no pickup and tripping indications of the ground fault
differential protection.
Pickup Values
The pickup threshold of the displacement voltage is set in address 1226 87N L: 3V0>.
At address 1229 87N L: IN(s)> you can enter the minimum current for direction determination. The pickup
current is to be set as high as possible to avoid false pickup of the device provoked by unbalanced currents in
the system and by current transformers. Dependent on the grounding of the network starpoint, the magnitude
of the capacitive ground fault current (for isolated networks) or the wattmetric residual current (for compensated
networks) is decisive.
In isolated systems, a ground fault in a cable will allow the total capacitive ground fault currents of the entire
electrically connected system, with the exception of the faulted cable itself, to flow through the measuring point
as the latter flows directly to the fault location (i.e. not back via the measuring point). Enter about half of this
ground fault current as pickup value.
In resonant-grounded systems directional determination is made more difficult since a much larger reactive
current (capacitive or inductive) is superimposed on the critical wattmetric (active) current. Therefore, depending on the system configuration and the position of the arc-compensating coil, the total ground current supplied
to the device may vary considerably in its values with regard to magnitude and phase angle. The device, however, must evaluate only the active component of the ground fault current, the ground fault residual current,
that is I
all the instrument transformers . Furthermore, the device must not be set to operate too sensitive. When applying this function in resonant-grounded systems, a reliable direction determination can only be achieved when
toroidal current transformers are connected. Here the following rule of thumb applies: set the value to half the
expected measured current, whereby only the residual wattmetric current is used. Residual wattmetric current
predominantly derives from losses of the Petersen coil.

E
66
For phase determination 87N L:Vph-g min (address 1227) is the criterion that applies to the ground-faulted
phase if simultaneously the other two phase voltages 87N L:Vph-g max (address 1228) have been exceeded. Accordingly, the setting 87N L:Vph-g min must be set smaller than the minimum phase-to-ground
voltage that occurs during operation. This setting, too, is uncritical. 40 V (default setting) should always be correct. 87N L:Vph-g max must be greater than the maximum phase-to-ground voltage occurring during operation, but less than the minimum phase-to-phase voltage occurring during operation. For V
= 100 V , the value
N
must therefore be 75 V (default setting). The definite detection of the phase affected by the ground fault is a
further prerequisite for alarming a ground fault. When connecting the voltage V0 (Appendix A.3, Figure A-11),
the check of the phase voltages does not take place.

2.2 Phase Comparison Protection and Ground Differential Protection
Time Delays
The ground fault is detected and reported only when the displacement voltage has applied for at least the time
87N L:TD-F.det. (address 1230). This stabilizing time also takes effect when ground fault conditions
change (e.g. change of direction).
The tripping can be delayed via the time delay 87N L:TripDelay (address1231).
With the inrush current restraint activated, the time delay 87N L:TripDelay must be at least 20 ms for the
blocking by the inrush current restraint to be effective.
2.2.5Differential Protection Pickup Logic and Tripping Logic
2.2.5.1Description
Pickup Logic
Once the differential protection function has reliably registered a fault within its tripping zone, the signal
“87(N)L Gen.Flt.“ (general pickup of the differential protection) is generated. For the differential protection
function itself, this pickup signal is of no concern since the tripping conditions are available at the same time.
This signal, however, is required to initiate the internal or external supplementary functions, e.g. fault recording,
automatic reclosing.

2.2.7.1Differential Protection Test
General
If differential protection test mode (test mode in the following) is activated, the differential protection is blocked
in the entire system. Depending on the configuration, the overcurrent protection acts as emergency function.
In the local device all currents from the other devices are set to zero. The local device only evaluates the locally
measured currents, interprets them as differential current but does not send them to the other devices. This
enables measuring the thresholds of the differential protection. Moreover, the test mode prevents in the local
device that tripping of the differential protection generates a transfer trip signal.
The test mode can be activated/deactivated as follows:
• Operation panel: Menu Control/Taggings/Set: „Test mode“
• Via binary inputs (no. 3197 „>Test 87 ON“, no. 3198 „>Test 87 OFF“) if this was routed
• In DIGSI with Control / Taggings: „Diff: Test mode“
The test mode status of the other device of the line protection system is indicated on the local device by the
indication „Test 87 remote“ (No. 3192).
Mode of Operation

of the chosen way. When deactivating the test mode via the binary inputs, a time delay of 500 ms becomes
effective.
The following figures show possible variants for controlling the binary inputs. If a switch is used for the control

Depending on the way used for controlling the commissioning mode, either the indication „Comm 87 ON/OFF“

2.3Breaker Intertrip and Remote Tripping
The 7SD80 device allows transmitting a trip command created by the local differential protection to the other
end of the protected object (intertripping). Likewise, any desired command of another internal protection function or of an external protection, monitoring or control equipment can be transmitted for remote tripping.
2.3.1Description
Transmit Circuit
The transmission signal can originate from two different sources (Figure 2-24). If the parameter 85 DT: SEND
is set to YES, each tripping command of the differential protection is routed immediately to the transmission
function „ITrp.sen. A“ to "...C“ (intertrip) and transmitted via the protection data interfaces and c ommunication
links.
The send function can be triggered via binary input „>85 DT 3pol“ (remote tripping). The transmission signal
can be delayed with 85 DT: TD-BI and prol onged with 85 DT:T-PROL BI.

On the receiving end the signal can lead to a trip. Alternatively, it can also cause an alarm only. In this way it
is possible to determine for each end of the protected object whether the received signal is to trip at this particular end or not.
If the received signal is to cause the trip, it will be forwarded to the tripping logic of the device.

Additional Options
Since the signals for remote tripping can be set to just generate an indication, any other desired signals can be
transmitted as well. After the binary input(s) have been activated, the signals which are set to cause an alarm
at the receiving end are tr ansmitted. These alarm s can in turn execute any desired actions at the receiving end.
2.3.2Setting Notes
General
The intertrip function for tripping caused by the differential protection can be activated (YES) or deactivated (NO)
at address 1301 85 DT: SEND.
To ensure that the faulted line is cleared, the intertrip function must be activated. In some applications, e.g. a
single feed, it may be desirable to switch off the feeding end only. In such exceptional cases, the intertrip function is not needed.
Intertrip / Remote Tripping
The activated intertrip function starts automatically when the differential protection trips at only one end.
If the relevant binary inputs are allocated and activated by an external source, the intertrip signal is transmitted
as well. In this case, the signal to be transmitted can be delayed with address 1303 85 DT: TD-BI. This delay
stabilizes the originating signal against dynamic interferences which may possibly occur on the control cabling.
Address 130485 DT:T-PROL BI is used to extend a signal after it has been effectively injected from an ex-
ternal source.
76
The reaction of a device when receiving an intertrip/remote tripping signal is set in address 1302 85 DT: RECEIVE. If it is desired to cause tripping, set the value Trip. If the received signal, however, is supposed to
cause an alarm only, Alarm only must be set if this indication is to be further processed externally.

SIPROTEC, 7SD80, Manual
2.3 Breaker Intertrip and Remote Tripping
The setting times depend on the individual case of application. A delay is necessary if the external control signal
originates from a disturbed source and a restraint seems appropriate. Of course, the control signal has to be
longer than the delay for the signal to be effective. If the signal is processed externally at the receiving end, a
prolongation time might become necessary for the transmitting end so that the reaction desired at the receiving
end can be executed reliably.
Release Thresholds
Before the release for tripping is given, the phase and ground currents must exceed settable thresholds. You
can set these thresholds at the following addresses:
• 130585 DT Iph rel. for the minimum phase current
• 130685 DT 3I0 rel. for the minimum ground current 3I0

2.4 Backup Overcurrent
2.4Backup Overcurrent
The 7SD80 features an overcurrent protection function which can be used as either backup or emergency overcurrent protection. All elements are independent of each other and can be combined as desired.
The overcurrent protection has two overcurrent elements with definite trip time and one overcurrent protection
element with inverse time delay for the phase currents and for the ground current. These elements operate directionally or non-directionally.
One additional definite-time overcurrent protection element always operates non-directionally. It features an
additional release input and can act as emergency element if the other elements are used for backup purposes.
The elements are independent of each other and can be combined in any way. Blocking by external criteria via
binary inputs is possible.
2.4.1Operating Modes
Emergency Overcurrent Protection
The differential protection as a whole can only operate correctly if both devices receive the data of the respective other device properly. The emergency overcurrent protection in contrast requires only the local currents.
Acting as emergency overcurrent protection, it automatically replaces the differential protection as short-circuit
protection if data communication of the differential protection is faulty (emergency operation). The differential
protection is blocked in this case.
Backup Time Overcurrent Protection
If the overcurrent protection is set as backup time overcurrent protection, it will work independently of the other
protection and monitoring functions, i.e. also independently of the differential protection. The backup overcurrent protection can also act as the only short-circuit protection if no suitable channels for the communication
between the protection devices are available yet during the initial commissioning. It can be used as busbar protection via reverse interlocking in combination with other protec tion devices or as backup protection function
for protection device failure at continuing lines.
2.4.2Non-directional Overcurrent Protection
Measured Quantities
The phase currents are fed to the device via the input transformers of the measuring input. The ground current
3I
is calculated from the phase currents.

Definite Time High-set Element 50-1
Each phase current is compared with the setting value 50-B2 PICKUP after numerical filtering; the ground
current is compared with 50N-B2 PICKUP. A trip command is issued after pickup of an element and expiration
of the associated time delays 50-B2 DELAY or 50N-B2 DELAY. The dropout value is about 7 % below the

The binary input „>5X-B InstTRIP“ and the evaluation of the indication „switch“ (onto fault) are common to
all elements. They may, however, separately affect the phase and/or ground current elements.
Parameter 50-B1 DELAY (address 2618) determines whether a non-delayed trip of this element via binary
input „>5X-B InstTRIP“ is possible (YES) or impossible (NO). This parameter is also used for fast tripping
before reclosing
If parameter 50-B2 Inrush (address2625) is set to YES, the element is blocked.

For the directional Iph> elements, the used measuring voltage is determined by the fault type.
The current phase-to-ground voltage is used
• for 1-phase or 3-phase faults,
• if the phase-to-ground voltage is > 4 V,
• not within the first 50 ms after short-circuit inception as the present voltage is disturbed by transients during
this time.
The saved phase-to-ground voltage is used
• for 1-phase or 3-phase faults,
• up to max. 2 sec. after saving the phasors
• if there was not pickup before short-circuit occurrence.
The unfaulted phase-to-phase voltage is used
• for 1-phase faults
• for unfaulted phase-to-ground voltages
• if the voltage value is > 70% of the rated voltage.

Definite Time Overcurrent Element 67-1
The directional overcurrent elements basically work in the same way as the non-directional elements. Pickup,
however, depends on the result of the direction determination. The direction determination is accomplished
using the measured quantities and the corresponding directional characteristics.
67-B2 PICKUP is used as setting values for the phase current; 67N-B2 PICKUP is used for the ground current. A trip command is issued after pickup of an element and expiration of the associated time delays 67-B2 DELAY or 67N-B2 DELAY. The dropout value is approximately 7% below the pickup value, but at least 1.8%
of the nominal current, below the pickup value.
Figure 2-30 shows the logic diagram of the 67-1 elements. They can be blocked via the binary input . Additionally, the ground current element can be blocked separately via the binary input „>BLOCK 67N-TOC“.
The binary input „>5X-B InstTRIP“ and the evaluation of the indication „switch“ (onto fault) can act separately on the directional phase and/or ground element.
Parameter 67(N)-B2 Pil/BI (address 2628) determines whether a non-delayed trip of this element via

General
The setting notes described in the following apply to non-directional and directional overcurrent protection.
Operating Modes
You set the operating mode of the overcurrent protection elements specifically for each element. The setting
applies collectively to the corresponding phase and ground element.
• If set to ON, the time overcurrent protection operates independently of the other protection functions as
backup overcurrent protection.
• If set to Only Emer. prot, the overcurrent protection operates as emergency function.
•Set to OFF, the element is disabled.

Inrush Blocking
Y ou can specify for each element of the overcurrent protection whether the element will be blocked when inrush
is detected. The setting applies collectively to the corresponding phase and ground element.
The elements can be combined. The pickup values are determined by the type of protected object.
The pickup values are set specifically for each element:
The setting of the current pickup value is basically determined by the maximum operational current. Pickup due
to overload must be excluded as the device operates as short-circuit protection in this mode with correspondingly short command times and not as overload protection. A pickup value setting of about 10% is recommended for line protection, and a setting of about 20% of the expected peak load is recommended for transformers
and motors.
The ground current elements detect the smallest anticipated ground fault current.
For very long lines with small source impedance or on applications with large reactances (e.g. transformers,
series reactors), the 50-2 elements can also be used for current grading. In this case, they must be set such
that they do not pickup reliably on a short circuit at the line end.
For the inverse time elements a safety margin between pickup value and setting value has already been implemented. Pick up only occurs at a current which is approximately 10% above the set value. Please bear this
in mind when specifying the setting values of the inverse time elements.
If an element is not required, set the pickup value to ∞.

Time Delays
Functions
2.4 Backup Overcurrent
The time delays are set specifically for each element:
They are determined by the time grading chart created for the power system. If used as emergency overcurrent
protection, shorter tripping times are advisable as this function is only activated in the case of the loss of the
local measuring voltage.
The times for the ground current elements can be set shorter, according to a separate time grading chart for
ground currents.
You can set additional time delays for definite-time elements with IEC characteristic.
Binary input „>5X-B InstTRIP“ allows you to bypass the time delays. The binary input applies to all elements collectively.
You can specify for each element whether instantaneous tripping takes effect. The setting applies collectively
to the corresponding phase and ground element.
• If set to YES, the element trips instantaneously when the binary input is activated.
• When set to NO, the set time delays take effect.

2.5 Inrush Restraint
2.5Inrush Restraint
2.5.1Description
If the protected zone of the device reaches beyond a transformer, a high inrush current must be anticipated
when switching on the transformer. This current flows into the protected zone, but does not leave it again.
The inrush current can amount to a multiple of the rated current and is characterized by a considerable 2nd
harmonic content (double rated frequency) which is practically absent during a short circuit. If the second harmonic content in the differential current exceeds a selectable threshold, tripping is blocked.
The inrush restraint has an upper limit: It no longer takes effect when a (configurable) current value is surpassed since, in this case, it can only be an internal high-current fault.
Figure 2-32 shows a simplified logic diagram. The condition for the inrush current detection is examined in each
device in which this function has been activated. The blocking condition is transmitted to the other device so
that it is effective at both ends of the protected object.
Figure 2-32Logic diagram of the inrush restraint for one phase
Since the inrush restraint operates individually for each phase, the protection is fully operative when the transformer is switched onto a single-phase fault, in which case it is possible for an inrush current to flow through
one of the undisturbed phases. It is, however, also possible to set the protection in such a way that when the
permissible harmonic content in the current of only one single phase is exceeded, not only the phase with the
inrush current but also the remaining phases of the differential stage are blocked. This cross-block function can
be limited to a selectable duration. Figure 2-33 shows the logic diagram.
The cross-block function also affects both devices since it not only extends the inrush current detection to all
three phases but also sends it to the other device via the communication link.

Functions
2.5 Inrush Restraint
The inrush current detection is required for the following applications:
• For the differential protection if an inductance is located in the protected zone.
• For the time overcurrent protection if a transformer is located in the protected zone or if the protected line
ends on a transformer.
Inrush current detection can be turned ON or OFF at address 2301INRUSH REST..
It is based on the evaluation of the second harmonic which exists in the inrush current. Ex-works a ratio of 15 %
of the 2nd HARMONICI
is set under address 2302, which can normally be taken over. However, the com-
2fN/IfN
ponent required for restraint can be parameterized. In order to be able to achieve a higher degree of restraint
in case of exceptionally unfavorable inrush conditions, you may also set a smaller value.
However, if the local measured current exceeds a value set in address 2305 MAX INRUSH PEAK, there will
be no inrush restraint. The peak value is decisive. The set value should be higher than the maximum inrush
current peak value that can be expected. For transformers set the value above √2·I

. If a line ends
on a transformer, a smaller value may be selected, considering the damping of the current by the line impedance.
The crossblock function can be activated (YES or deactivated (NO) in address 2303 CROSS BLOCK. The time
after exceeding of the current threshold for which this crossblock is to be activated is set under address 2310 CROSSB 2HM. With the setting ∞ the crossblock function is always active until the second harmonic content in
all phases has dropped below the set value.
