1.1Overall Operation
The digital Multi-Function Protection SIPROTEC® 7UM61 is equipped with a high performance microprocessor. All tasks such as the acquisition of the measured values
and issuing of commands to circuit breakers and other switching equipment, are processed digitally. Figure 1-1 shows the basic structure of the device.
Analog Inputs The measuring inputs (MI) are galvanically isolated, transform the currents and volt-
ages from the primary transformers and adapt them to the internal processing level of
the device. The device has 4 current and 4 voltage inputs. Three inputs are used on
each side of the protected object for measuring of the phase currents.

secondary currents in the mA range. 3 voltage inputs acquire the phase-to-earth voltages (connection to phase-to-phase voltages and voltage transformers in V connec-

tion is possible as well). The 4th voltage input is for displacement voltage measurement for stator earth fault protection.
The IA input amplifier group allows high impedance connection for analog input values
and contains filters optimized for measured value processing bandwidth and speed.
The AD analog digital converter group contains high resolution Σ∆ digital converters
(22 bits) and memory components for data transfer to the microcomputer.
Microcomputer
System
Adaptation of Sampling Frequency
The implemented software is processed in the microcomputer system (µC). Essential
functions are:
• Filtering and conditioning of the measured signals,
• Continuous monitoring of the measured quantities
• Monitoring of the pickup conditions for the individual protective functions
• Querying of limit values and time sequences,
• Control of signals for logical functions,
• Decision for trip commands
• Signalling of protection behaviour via LEDs, LCD, relays or serial interfaces
• Storage of indications, fault data and fault values for fault analysis,
• Management of the operating system and its associated functions such as data recording, real-time clock, communication, interfaces, etc.
The frequency of the measured quantities is continuously measured and used for adjusting of the actual sampling frequency. This ensures that the protection and measurement functions produce correct results over a wide frequency range. This ensures
measuring accuracy in the frequency range from 11 Hz to 69 Hz.
The sampling frequency adaptation can, however, operate only when at least one a.c.
measured quantity is present at one of the analog inputs, with an amplitude of at least
5 % of rated value (“operational condition 1”).
If no suitable measured values are present, or if the frequency is below 11 Hz or above
70 Hz, the device operates in mode “operational condition 0”.

1.2Application Scope
www . ElectricalPartManuals . com
The SIPROTEC® 7UM61 device is a digital multi-function machine protection unit from
the 7UM6 Numerical Protection series. It provides all functions necessary for protection of generators and motors. As the scope of functions of the 7UM61 can be customized, it is suited for small, medium-sized and large generators.
The device fulfills the protection requirements for the two typical basic connections:
• Busbar connection
• Unit connection
1.2 Application Scope
Figure 1-2Typical Connections
The scalable software allows a wide range of applications. Corresponding function
packages can be selected for each particular application. For instance, alone with the
7UM61 device, it is possible to provide comprehensive and reliable protection of generators from small to medium capacity (approx. 0.5 - 5 MW).
Additionally, the device forms the basis for the protection of medium to large size generators (backup protection). In combination with the 7UM62 device (a further device
of the 7UM6 series), all protection requirements encountered in practice for the smallest to the largest machines can be met. This makes possible a consistent concept for
reserve protection capacity.

In addition the command functions can be matched to the system conditions. Also individual functions can be enabled or disabled during configuration. Functions not
needed can be thus be deactivated.
The available protection and supplementary functions can be configured as Enabled

Functions configured as disabled are not processed by the 7UM61. There are no indications, and corresponding settings (functions, limit values) are not displayed during

2.2 Functional Scope
2.2.1Functional Description
Configuration of the Functional Scope
Configuration settings can be entered using a PC and the software program DIGSI
and transferred via the front serial port or the rear service interface. Operation is described in the SIPROTEC
For changing configuration parameters in the device, password no.7 is required (for
parameter set). Without the password, the settings may be read, but may not be modified and transferred to the device.
Functional scope and as the case may be possible alternatives are adapted to the
power system conditions in the Function Scope dialog box.
Note
Available functions and default settings depend on the ordered device variant (see Appendix for details). Also, not all combinations of protective functions are possible
because of certain restrictions imposed by the hardware (see Section 2.2.2).

Parameter 104FAULT VALUE is used to specify whether the oscillographic fault recording should record Instant. values or RMS values. If RMS values is stored,
the available recording time increases by the factor 16.
For the high-current stage I>> of the overcurrent protection, address 113O/C PROT. I>> determines whether Non-Directional or directional is to be operative. By
selecting Disabled, this overcurrent stage can be excluded altogether. With inverse
time overcurrent protection 114O/C PROT. Ip, depending on the ordered variant,
various characteristics are available for selection, in accordance with IEC or ANSI
standard. Selecting 'disabled' deconfigures inverse time overcurrent protection.
For earth fault protection, Address 150 S/E/F PROT. presents the options non-
dir. U0, non-dir. U0&I0 and directional, unless the whole function is
Disabled. The first option evaluates only the displacement voltage (to be used with
unit connection). The second option evaluates in addition to the displacement voltage,
the magnitude of the earth fault current (or the difference between the starpoint current
and the total current of a toroidal CT in busbar systems with low-ohmic switchable starpoint resistors). The third option considers as a further criterion the direction of the
earth fault current if with machines in busbar connection the magnitudes of displacement voltage and earth fault current alone are not sufficient to distinguish between
system earth faults and machine earth faults.
For trip circuit monitoring, address 182Trip Cir. Sup. is used to specify whether
two binary inputs (2 Binary Inputs) or only one (1 Binary Input) should be
utilized.
The device requires certain network and power system data so that it can be adapted
to its intended functions in accordance with application. These include, for instance,
rated power system and transformer data, measured quantity polarities and connection, breaker properties etc. There are also certain parameters common to all functions, i.e. not associated with a specific protection, control or monitoring function.

A correction of the angle faults of the current and voltage transformers is particularly
important with regard to reverse power protection, as in this case a very low active
power is computed from a very high apparent power (for small cos ϕ).
At address 204 CT ANGLE W0 a constant correction angle can be entered for the CT.
The angle fault difference ∆ϕ between the current and voltage transformers is partic-
ularly important in this context. As a correction, the sum of the mean angle errors of
the current transformers and voltage transformers is set. The corrective value can be
determined during machine commissioning (see Section Mounting and Commissioning).

Where different settings are required for operational reasons, e.g. in pumped storage
power stations with a machine operating alternately as a generator and a motor, these
settings are made in the setting groups and stored in the device. Depending on the

2.6Definite-Time Overcurrent Protection (I>, ANSI 50/51) with
Undervoltage Seal-In
The overcurrent protection is used as backup protection for the short-circuit protection
of the protected object. It also provides backup protection for downstream network
faults which may be not promptly disconnected thus endangering the protected object.
Initially, the currents are numerically filtered so that only the fundamental frequency
currents are used for the measurement. This makes the measurement insensitive to
transient conditions at the inception of a short-circuit and to asymmetrical short-circuit
currents (d.c. component).
In generators where the excitation voltage is taken from the machine terminals, the
short-circuit current subsides quickly in the event of adjacent faults (i.e. in the generator or unit transformer region) due to the absence of excitation voltage. Within a few
seconds it sinks below the pick-up value of the overcurrent time protection. To avoid
pickup dropout, the I> stage monitors the positive-sequence component of the voltages and uses it as an additional criterion for detecting a short-circuit. The undervoltage
influencing can be disabled off and made ineffective via binary input.
2.6.1Functional Description
I> StageEach phase current is compared individually with the I> common setting value and
signaled separately on overshoot. A trip signal is transmitted to the matrix as soon as
the corresponding T I> time delay has expired. On delivery the dropout value is set
to ± 95 % below the pickup value. For special applications, it is also possible to set a
higher value.
Undervoltage SealIn
The I> stage has a (disconnectable) undervoltage stage. This stage maintains the
pickup signal for a selectable seal-in time if the value falls below a selectable threshold
of the positive-sequence component of the voltages after an overcurrent pickup - even
if the value falls again below the overcurrent value. In this way, the expire of the trip
time delay and the tripping of the related breakers is also ensured in these cases. If
the voltage recovers before the seal-in time has expired or if the undervoltage seal-in
is blocked via a binary input, e.g. when the voltage transformer mcb trips or if the
machine is tripped, protection drops out immediately.
The seal-in logic operates separate for each phase. The first pickup of a phase overcurrent starts the timer T-SEAL-IN.
The following figure shows the logic diagram of the overcurrent time protection I> with
undervoltage protection.

GeneralOvercurrent protection is only effective and available if address 112 O/C PROT. I>
is set to Enabled during configuration. If the function is not needed it is set to
Disabled.
Overcurrent Stage
I>
Address 1201O/C I> is used to switch the definite time-overcurrent stage I> ON and
OFF, or to block only the trip command (Block relay). For setting the I> overcurrent
stage it is the maximum anticipated load current which is most relevant. Pickup due to
overload should never occur since the protection may trip if short command times are
set. For this reason, a setting between 20 % and 30 % over the expected peak load is
recommended for generators, and a setting of about 40 % for transformers and
motors.
The trip time delay (parameter 1203 T I>) must be coordinated with the time grading
of the network in order to ensure that the protective equipment closest to the corresponding fault location trips first (selectivity).
The selected time is only an additional time delay and does not include the operating
time (measuring time, dropout time). The delay can be set to ∞. After pickup the
element will then not trip. Pickup, however, will be signaled. If the I> stage is not required at all, address 1201 O/C I> is set to OFF. This prevents tripping and the generation of a pickup message.

2.7Definite-Time Overcurrent Protection (I>>, ANSI 50, 51, 67) with
Direction Detection
The overcurrent protection is used as backup protection for the short-circuit protection
of the protected object. It also provides backup protection for downstream network
faults which may be not promp tly disconnected thus endangering t he protected object.
In order to ensure that pick-up always occurs even with internal faults, the protection
- for generators - is usually connected to the current transformer set in the neutral
leads of the machine. If this is not the case for an individual power system, the I>>
stage can be combined with a short-circuit direction acquisition and switch off a generator short circuit by undelayed tripping without comprising selectivity.
Initially the currents are numerically filtered so that only the fundamental frequency
currents are used for the measurement. This makes the measurement insensitive to
transient conditions at the inception of a short-circuit and to asymmetrical short-circuit
currents (d.c. component).
2.7.1Function Description
I>> StageEach phase current is compared individually with the I>> common pick-up value and
signaled on overshoot. A trip signal is transmitted to the matrix as soon as the corre-
sponding T I>> time delays have expired. The dropout value is ± 95 % below the
pick-up value.
Direction Detection The I>> stage is equipped with a (disconnectable) direction element permitting a trip-
ping only for faults in backward (i.e. machine) direction.
For this reason, this stage can be used particularly in applications where no current
transformers exist in the generator starpoint and undelayed tripping is nevertheless required on generator faults.
Figure 2-5Selectivity via Short-Circuit Direction Detection
The direction is detected phase-selectively by means of a cross-polarized voltage.
The phase-to-phase voltage normally perpendicular to the fault current vector is used
as unfaulted voltage (Figure 2-6). This is considered during the calculation of the di-
rection vector in the clockwise rotating phase sequence by a +90° rotation, and in the
anti-clockwise rotating phase by a -90° rotation. For phase-to-phase faults, the posi-
tion of the directional limit lines may change in relation to the collapse of the fault voltage.

If the phase-to-phase voltage used for the direction decision is below the minimum
value of approx. 7 V, the voltage is taken from a voltage memory. This voltage also
allows unambiguous direction determination if the short-circuit voltage has collapsed
(short circuit close to generator terminals). After the expiration of the storage time
period (2 cycles), the detected direction is saved, as long as no sufficient measuring
voltage is available. If a short circuit already exists at generator startup (or for motors
or transformers on connection), so that no voltage is present in the memory and no
direction can be determined, a trip is issued.
The direction detection can be disabled via binary input.

A value of T I>> = 0.1 s is recommended as tripping time delay, in order to enable
preferred tripping of the differential protection.
If at Address 113 O/C PROT. I>> was configured as directional, the Addresses
1304Phase Direction and 1305LINE ANGLE are accessible. The inclination of
the direction straight line representing the separating line between the tripping and the
blocking zone can be adapted to the network conditions by way of the LINE ANGLE
parameter. To do this, the line angle of the network is set. The direction straight line is
perpendicular to the set direction angle. Together with the parameter 1304 Phase Direction = Forward or Reverse, this parameter covers the entire impedance
level. This is the reverse direction, provided that the protective relay has been con-
nected correctly according to one of the diagrams in the Appendix. A small zone is
located between the forward and the reverse zone. Due to phase displacement angles
of the transformers, a proper direction decision is not possible. There is no tripping in
the configured preferential direction in this zone.

The overcurrent time protection replicates the short-circuit protection for small or lowvoltage machines. For larger machines it is used as back-up protection for the
machine short-circuit protection (differential protection and/or impedance protection).
It provides back-up protection for network faults which may be not promptly disconnected thus endangering the machine.
In generators where the excitation voltage is taken from the machine terminals, the

seconds it sinks below the pick-up value of the overcurrent time protection. In order to
avoid a dropout of the pickup, the positive-sequence component is monitored additionally. This component can influence the overcurrent detection in accordance with two
different methods. Undervoltage influencing can be disabled.
The protective function operates, depending on the ordering variant, with an inverse
current-tripping characteristic according to the IEC or ANSI standards. The characteristics and associated formulas are given in the Technical Data. During configuration of
the inverse time curves, the independent stages I>> and I> are enabled (see Section
2.6).

renewed pickup will the delay timer to start anew.
The inverse overcurrent time protection is provided with a undervoltage detection that
can be disabled. This function can influence overcurrent detection in two different
ways:
• Voltage controlled: If the value falls below a settable voltage threshold, an over-
current stage with a lower pick-up value is enabled.
• voltage restraint: The pickup threshold of the overcurrent stage depends on the
voltage level. A lower voltage reduces the current pickup value (see the following
figure). A linear, directly proportional dependency is used in the zone between
U/U
= 1.00 and 0.25. Consequently, the following applies:
The Ip reference value is decreased proportional to voltage decrease. Consequently
for constant current I, the I/Ip ratio is increased and the trip time is reduced. Compared
with the standard characteristics represented in Section 4 the tripping characteristic
shifts to the left side in relation to decreasing voltage.
The changeover to the lower pick-up value or the reduction of the pickup threshold are
performed on a per phase basis. Allocations of voltages to the current-carrying phases
represented in the following table apply. As the protection used in the generator range
is incorporated in the network grading plan, conversion of the voltages by the unit
transformer must also be considered. Therefore in principle a distinction must be
made between a unit connection and a busbar connection which must be communicated to the device by the parameter 272SCHEME. As phase-to-phase voltages are
referred to in any case, faulty measurements during earth faults are avoided.

GeneralInverse overcurrent time protection is only effective and available if address 114 O/C
PROT. Ip was set to with IEC or with ANSI. If the function is not needed it is set
to Disabled.
Ip Overcurrent
Stage
The address 1401 O/C Ip serves to switch the function ON or OFF or to block only
the trip command (Block relay). It must be noted that, for the inverse overcurrent
time protection, a safety factor of about 1.1 has been included between the pick-up
value and the setting value. This means that a pickup will only occur if a current of
about 1.1 times of the setting value is present. The dropout occurs as soon as the
value falls below 95% of the pickup value.
The current value is set at address 1402 Ip. The setting is mainly determined by the
maximum operating current. Pickup due to overload should never occur, since the
device in this operating mode operates as fault protection with correspondingly short
tripping times and not as overload protection.
The corresponding time multiplier for configuration of IEC characteristics (address
114O/C PROT. Ip = with IEC) is accessible under address 1403T Ip.
The corresponding time multiplier for configuration of ANSI characteristics (address
114 O/C PROT. Ip= with ANSI) is accessible under address 1404 TIME DIAL:
TD.
The time multipliers must be coordinated with the network grading plan.
The time multipliers can also be set to ∞. After pickup the element will then not trip.
Pickup, however, will be signaled. If the Ip stage is not required, on configuration of
the protection function (Section 2.2) address 114 O/C PROT. Ip is set to Disabled
or this function switched under 1401 O/C Ip = OFF.
The address 1408 serves to predefine the U< pick-up value for the undervoltage trip
of the Ip pickup value for voltage-controlled inverse overcurrent time protection/AMZ
(parameter 1407VOLT. INFLUENCE = Volt. controll.). The parameter is set
to a value just below the lowest phase-to-phase voltage admissible during operation,
e.g. from 75 to 80 V. In this context, the same rules apply as for the undervoltage sealin of the definite overcurrent time protection (see also subsection 2.6.2).

The thermal overload protection prevents thermal overloading of the stator windings

and the heat loss to the environment are taken into account.
The solution of this equation is in steady-state operation an exponential function

also possible, however, to set the overload protection to Alarm Only . In this case
only an indication is issued when the final temperature is reached.
The overtemperature is calculated from the largest of the three phase currents. Since
the calculation is based on rms values of currents, harmonics which contribute to a
temperature rise of the stator winding are also considered.

The temperature to be considered can be input in one of the following ways:

• Via temperature detection unit (Thermobox, RTD 1)
The ambient or coolant temperature can also be detected by an external temperature
sensor, digitized and fed to the 7UM61 via the Profibus-DP Interface / Modbus .

by entering a blocking (“>BLK ThOverload”); in that case the overload protection
is blocked completely, including the current alarm stage.
When machines must be started for emergency reasons, operating temperatures
above the maximum permissible overtemperatures can be allowed by blocking the
tripping signal via a binary input (“>Emer.Start O/L”). Since the thermal profile
may have exceeded the tripping temperature after startup and dropout of the binary
input has taken place, the protection function features a programmable run-on time interval (T EMERGENCY) which is started when the binary input drops out and continues
suppressing a trip signal. Tripping will be suppressed until this time interval elapses.
This binary input affects only the tripping signal. It has no effect on the fault condition

2.9.2Setting Notes
GeneralOverload protection is only effective and accessible if address 116 Therm.Overload
is set to Enabled during configuration. If the function is not required Disabled is set.
Transformers and generators are prone to damage by extended overloads. These
overloads cannot and should not be detected by short-circuit protection. Time overcurrent protection should be set high so that it only detects faults, since short-circuit protection only permits short time delays. Short time delays, however, do not allow measures for unburdening the overloaded equipment nor do they permit advantage to be
taken of its (limited) overload capacity.
The 7UM61 protective relay features an overload protective function with thermal tripping characteristic adaptable to the overload capability of the equipment being protected.
At address 1601 Ther. OVER LOAD the thermal overload protection ON or OFF can
be set, the trip command blocked (Block relay) or the protection function set
toAlarm Only. In the latter case no fault record is created should an overload occur.
If overload protection is switched ON, tripping is also possible.
K FactorThe overload protection is set with quantities per unit. The nominal current I
of the object to be protected (generator, motor, transformer) is typically used as base
current. The thermally admissible continuous current I

The thermally admissible continuous current for the equipment being protected is generally obtainable from manufacturers specifications. If no specifications are available,
a value of 1.1 times the nominal current rating is assumed.

nominal current (= device current). The following applies for the conversion:

Time Constant τ Overload protection tracks overtemperature progression, employing a thermal differ-
ential equation whose steady state solution is an exponential function. The TIME
CONSTANTτ (address 1603) is used in the calculation to determine the threshold of
excessive temperature and thus, the tripping temperature.
If the overload characteristic of the generator to be protected is pre-determined, the
user must select the protection trip characteristic so that it largely corresponds the
overload characteristic, at least for small overloads.
This is also the case if the admissible power-up time corresponding to a certain overload value is indicated.
Alarm StagesBy setting the thermal alarm level Θ ALARM (address 1604), a alarm message can be
issued before the tripping temperature is reached, thus avoiding tripping by promptly
reducing load. This alarm level simultaneously represents the dropout level for the tripping signal. The tripping signal is interrupted only when this threshold value is again
undershot.

Note: With the typical value of K-FACTOR = 1.1, on application of nominal machine

overtemperature (100 %).

the following figure, this limit value determines the transition to the horizontal part of

values. The limit value must ensure that even for the highest possible short-circuit current, the trip times of the overload protection exceed the trip times of the short-circuit
protection devices (differential protection, impedance protection, time overcurrent protection). As a rule, a limitation to a secondary current corresponding to roughly three
times the nominal machine current will be sufficient.

Unbalanced load protection detects unbalanced loads of three-phase induction machines. Unbalanced loads create a counter-rotating field which acts on the rotor at
double frequency. Eddy currents are induced at the rotor surface leading to local overheating in rotor end zones and slot wedges. Another effect of unbalanced loads is
overheating of the damper winding. In addition, this protection function may be used
to detect interruptions, short circuits and polarity problems with current transformers.
It is also useful in detecting 1-pole and 2-pole faults with magnitudes lower than the
load currents.

The maximum permissible, continual negative phase-sequence current is important
for the thermal model. For machines of up to 100 MVA with non-salient pole rotors, this

and with salient-pole rotors at least 12 %. For larger machines and in cases of doubt,
please refer to the instructions of the machine manufacturer.
It is important to note that the manufacturer's data relate to the primary values of the

Cooldown Time The parameter 1705 T COOL DOWN establishes the time required by the protection
object to cool down under admissible unbalanced load I2> to the initial value. If the
machine manufacturer does not provide this information, the setting value can be calculated by assuming an equal value for cool-down time and heatup time of the object
to be protected. The formula below shows the relation between the K asymmetry
factor and the cool-down time:
Example:
The following cool-down time results for a K = 20 s and an admissible continual unbalanced load I
Asymmetrical faults also cause high negative phase-sequence currents. A definitetime negative phase-sequence current stage characteristic 1706 I2>> can thus
detect asymmetrical power system short circuits. A setting between 60 % and 65 %
ensures trip always occurs in accordance with the thermal characteristic in case of a
other hand, a two-pole short circuit can be assumed for an unbalanced load of more
between 60 % and 65 %. The delay time T I2>> (address 1707) must be coordinated
with the system grading of phase-to-phase short circuits.
Contrary to time-overcurrent protection, the I2>> stage is able to detect fault currents
at nominal current. The following conditions apply:
A phase-to-ground fault with current I corresponds to a negative sequence current:

The underexcitation protection protects a synchronous machine from asynchronous
operation in the event of faulty excitation or regulation and from local overheating of
the rotor. Furthermore, it avoids endangering network stability by underexcitation of
large synchronous machines.
2.11.1 Function Description
Underexcitation Determination
Characteristic
Curves
In order to detect underexcitation, the unit processes all three terminal phase currents
and all three terminal voltages to form the stator circuit criterion.
For the stator circuit criterion the admittance is calculated from the positive sequence
currents and voltages. The admittance measurement always produces the physically
appropriate stability limit, independently of voltage deviations from rated voltage.
Even in such circumstances the protection characteristic can be thus optimally
matched to the stability characteristic of the machine. By virtue of the positive sequence system evaluation, protection operates reliably even during asymmetrical
current or voltage conditions.
The following figure shows the loading diagram of the synchronous machine in the admittance plane (P/U

The underexcitation protection in the 7UM61 makes available three independent,
freely combinable characteristics. As illustrated in the following figure, it is possible for
example to model static machine stability by means of two partial characteristics with
the same time delays (T CHAR. 1 = T CHAR 2). The partial characteristics are distinguished by the corresponding distance from the zero point (1/xd CHAR. 1) and (1/xd
CHAR. 2) as well as the corresponding inclination angle α
If the resulting characteristic (1/xd CHAR.1)/α

A further characteristic (1/xd CHAR.3 /α
characteristic of the synchronous machine. Since stable operation is impossible if this
characteristic is exceeded, immediate tripping is then required (time stage T CHAR 3).
With a faulty voltage regulator or excitation voltage failure, it is possible to switch off
with a short delay (time stage T SHRT Uex<, e.g. 1.5 s). For this purpose, excitation
voltage failure must be communicated to the device via a binary input.
The admittance calculation requires a minimum measurement voltage. During a
severe collapse (short-circuit) or failure of stator voltages, the protection is blocked by
an integrated AC voltage monitor whose pickup threshold 3014 Umin is set on delivery to 25 V. The parameter value is based on phase-to-phase voltages.
The following figure shows the logic diagram for underexcitation protection.

The trip characteristics of the underexcitation protection in the admittance value
diagram are composed of straight segments which are respectively defined by their
admittance 1/xd (=coordinate distance) and their inclination angle α. The straight segments (1/xd CHAR.1)/α
form the static underexcitation limit (see the following figure). (1/xd CHAR.1) corresponds to the reciprocal value of the related synchronous direct reactance.
If the voltage regulator of the synchronous machine has underexcitation limiting, the
static characteristics are set in such a way that the underexcitation limiting of the
voltage regulator will intervene before characteristic 1 is reached (see figure 2-24).

Reverse power protection is used to protect a turbo-generator unit on failure of energy
to the prime mover when the synchronous generator runs as a motor and drives the
turbine taking motoring energy from the network. This condition leads to overheating
of the turbine blades and must be interrupted within a short time by tripping the
network circuit-breaker. For the generator there is the additional risk that with a malfunctioning residual steam pass (defective stop valves) after the switching off of the
circuit breaker the turbine generator unit is accelerated to overspeed. For this reason,
the system isolation should only be performed after the detection of active power input
into the machine.

The reverse power protection of the 7UM61 precisely calculates the active power from
the symmetrical components of the fundamental waves of voltages and currents by
averaging the values of the last 16 cycles. The evaluation of only the positive phasesequence systems makes the reverse power determination independent of current
and voltage asymmetries and corresponds to actual loading of the drive end. The calculated active power value corresponds to the overall active power. By taking the error
angles of the instrument transformers into account, the active power component is
exactly calculated even with very high apparent powers and low power factor (cos ϕ).
The correction is performed by a W0 constant correction angle determined during
commissioning of the protection device in the system. The correction angle is set
under Power System Data 1 (see Section 2.3).

number of pulses, the pickup signals adds up and become longer than the time delay.
swings caused by system faults, the trip command is delayed by a selectable time T-SV-OPEN . In case of a closed emergency tripping valve, a short delay is, however,
sufficient. By means of entering the emergency tripping valve position via a binary
input, the short time delay T-SV-CLOSED becomes effective under an emergency tripping condition. The time T-SV-OPEN is still effective as back-up stage.
It is also possible to block tripping via an external signal.

In case of a reverse power, the turbine set must be disconnected from the system as
the turbine operation is not permissible without a certain minimum steam throughput
(cooling effect) or, in case of a gas turbine set, the motor load would be too heavy for
the network.
Pickup ValuesThe level of the active power input is determined by the friction losses to be overcome
and is in the following ranges, depending on the individual system:
• Steam turbines: P
• Gas turbines: P
• Diesel drives: P
For the primary test, the reverse power should be measured with the relay. The user
should select a setting of 0.5 times the value of the measured motoring energy. This
value can be found under the percentage operational measured values. The feature
of correcting angle faults of the current and voltage transformers should be used especially in case of very large machines with a particularly low motoring energy (see

Pickup Seal-In TimeThe 3105T-HOLD pickup seal-in time serves to extend pulsed pickups to the param-

Delay TimesIf reverse power without emergency tripping is used, a corresponding time delay must
be implemented to bridge any short reverse power states after synchronization or
power swings subsequent to system faults (e.g. 3-pole short circuit). Usually, a delay
time 3103T-SV-OPEN = approx. 10 s is set.
Under emergency tripping conditions, the reverse power protection performs a shorttime delayed trip subsequent to the emergency tripping via an oil-pressure switch or a
position switch at the emergency trip valve. Before tripping, it must be ensured that the
reverse power is only caused by the missing drive power at the turbine side. A time
delay is necessary to bridge the active power swing in case of sudden valve closing,
until a steady state active power value is achieved. A 3104 T-SV-CLOSED time delay
of about 1 to 3 s is sufficient for this purpose, whereas a time delay of about 0.5 s is
recommended for gas turbine sets. The set times are additional time delays not including the operating times (measuring time, drop-out time) of the protective function.

2.13Forward Active Power Supervision (ANSI 32F)
The machine protection 7UM61 includes an active power supervision which monitors
whether the active power undershoots one set value or overshoots a separate second
set value. Each of these functions can initiate different control functions.
When, for example, with generators operating in parallel, the active power output of
one machine becomes so small that other generators could take over this power, then
it is often appropriate to shut down the lightly loaded machine. The criterion in this
case is that the "forwards" power supplied into the network falls below a certain value.
In many applications it can be desirable to issue a control signal if the active power
output rises above a certain value.
When a fault in a utility network is not cleared within a critical time, the utility network
and should be split or for example, an industrial network decoupled from it. As criteria
for decoupling, in addition to power flow direction, are undervoltage, overcurrent and
frequency. As a result, the 7UM61 can also be used for network decoupling.
2.13.1 Function Description
Active Power Measuring
Depending on the application either slow high-precision measurement (averaging 16
cycles) or high-speed measurement (without averaging) may be selected. High-speed
measurement is particularly suitable for network de-coupling.
The device calculates the active power from the positive sequence systems of the
generator currents and voltages. The computed value is compared with the set values.
Each of the forward active power stages can be blocked individually via binary inputs.
In addition the entire active power monitoring can be blocked per binary input.

2.14Impedance Protection (ANSI 21)
Machine impedance protection is used as a selective time graded protection to
provide shortest possible tripping times for short-circuits in the synchronous machine,
on the terminal leads as well as in the unit transformer. It thus also provides backup
protection functions to the main protection of a power plant or protection equipment
connected in series like generator, transformer differential and system protection devices.
2.14.1 Functional Description
Pickup
GeneralFault detection is required to detect a faulty condition in the power system and to ini-
tiate all the necessary procedures for selective clarification of the fault:
• Start the time delays for the final stage t3,
• Determination of the faulty measuring loop
• Enabling of impedance calculation,
• Enabling of tripping command,
• Indication/output of the faulty conductor(s).
Pickup is implemented as overcurrent pickup and can be optionally supplemented by
an undervoltage seal-in circuit. After numeric filtering, the currents are monitored for
over-shooting of a set value. A signal is output for each phase where the set threshold
has been exceeded. These pickup signals are considered for choosing the measured
values. The pickup is reset when 95% of the pick-up threshold is undershot, unless
maintained by the undervoltage seal-in feature.
Undervoltage Seal-In
Feature
Determination of the Short–Circuit Impedance
With excitation systems powered from the network, excitation voltage can drop during
a local short circuit, resulting in decreasing short-circuit current which, in spite of the
remaining fault, can undershoot the pickup value. In such cases pick-up is maintained
for a settable time period by means of the undervoltage controlled seal-in circuit using
the positive sequence voltage U1. Pickup drops off when this holding time has expired
or when the restored voltage reaches 105% of the set undervoltage seal-in value.
The seal-in logic operates separate for each phase. The first pickup starts the timer T-SEAL-IN.
Figure 2-27 shows the logic diagram of the pickup stage of the impedance protection.
For calculating impedance only the currents and voltages of the faulty (shorted) phase
loop are decisive. Accordingly the protection, controlled by the pickup, evaluates these
measurement values (see also Table 2-5).

This loop selection type ensures that the fault impedance of system faults is measured

Figure 2-27Logic Diagram of the Pickup Stage of the Impedance Protection
Tripping Characteristic
The tripping characteristic of the impedance protection is a polygon (see also Figure
2-28). It is a symmetrical characteristic, even though a fault in reverse direction (negative R and/or X values) is impossible provided the usual connection to the current
transformers at the star-point side of the generator is used. The polygon is fully identified by one parameter (impedance Z).
As long as the pickup criterion is met, impedance calculation is done continuously
using the current and voltage vectors derived from the loop selection measured
values. If the calculated impedance is within the trip characteristic, the protection
issues a trip command which may be delayed according to the relevant delay time.
Since the impedance protection is multi-stage, the protected zones can be chosen
such that the first stage (ZONE Z1, T-Z1) covers faults in the generator and the lower
voltage side of the unit transformer, whereas the second stage (ZONE Z2, ZONE2 T2)

covers the network. It should be noted that high voltage side 1-pole faults cause impedance measurement errors due to the star-delta connection of the unit transformer
on the lower voltage side. An unwanted operation of the stage can be excluded since
the fault impedances of power system faults are modeled too high.
Faults outside this range are switched off by the T END final time stage.
Depending on the switching status of the system, it may be useful to extend the ZONE Z1, T-Z1 undelayed tripping zone. If, for example, the high-voltage side circuit
breaker is open, the pickup can only be caused by a fault in the power unit. If consideration of the circuit breaker auxiliary contact is possible, a so-called overreach zone
ZONE Z1B can be made effective (see also Section 2.14.2, Grading of the Machine
Impedance Protection figure).
Figure 2-28Tripping Characteristics of the Impedance Protection
Tripping Logic
The T END time delay is started subsequent to the protection pickup, establishing the
the fault loop. The loop impedance components are compared with the limit values of
the zones previously set. The tripping is executed if the impedance is within its zone
during the the course of the corresponding time stage.
For the first Z1 zone and also for the Z1B overreach zone, the time delay will in most
cases be zero or at least very short. i.e. tripping occurs as soon as it is established that
the fault is within this zone.
The Z1B overreach stage can be enabled from outside, via a binary input.
For the Z2 zone which may extend into the network, a time delay is selected overreaching the first stage of the power system protection.

A drop-out can only be caused by a drop-out of the overcurrent pickup and not by
exiting the tripping polygon.
The following figure shows the logic diagram for the impedance protection.

2.14.2 Setting Notes
GeneralMachine impedance protection is only effective and available if enabled during config-
uration (Section 2.2, address 133, IMPEDANCE PROT. = Enabled. If the function is
not required Disabled is set. Address 3301 IMPEDANCE PROT. serves to switch
the function ON or OFF or to block only the trip command (Block relay).

PickupThe maximum load current during operation is the most important criterion for setting
overcurrent pickup. A pickup by an overload must be excluded! For this reason, the
3302IMP I> pickup value must be set above the maximum (over) load current to be
expected. Recommended setting: 1.2 to 1.5 times the nominal machine current. The
pickup logic corresponds to the logic of the definite time-overcurrent protection.
If the excitation is derived from the generator terminals with the short circuit current
possibly falling below the pickup value (address 3302) due to the collapsing voltage,
the undervoltage seal-in feature of the pickup is used, i.e. address 3303 U< SEAL-IN is switched to ON.
The undervoltage seal-in setting U< (address 3304) is set to a value just below the
lowest phase-to-phase voltage occurring during operation, e.g. to U< = 75 % to 80 %
of the nominal voltage. The seal-in time (address 3305 T-SEAL-IN) must exceed the
maximum fault clearance time in a back-up case (recommended setting: Address
3312T END + 1 s).
Impedance Stages The protection has the following characteristics which may be set independently:
1. Zone (fast tripping zone Z1 ) with parameters
ZONE Z1 Reactance = reach,
T-Z1 = 0 or short delay, if required.
Overreach zone Z1B, externally controlled via binary input, with parameters
ZONE Z1B Reactance = reach,
T-Z1B T1B = 0 or short delay, if required.
2. Zone (zone Z2) with parameters
ZONE Z2 Reactance = reach,
ZONE2 T2 The user must select a value for T2 above the grading
time of the network protection.
Non-directional final stage with parameter
T ENDThe user must select T END so that the 2nd or 3rd
stage of the series-connected power system distance
protection is overreached.
As the user may assume that impedance protection measurement extends into the
unit transformer, parametrization selection must sufficiently consider the transformer
control range.
Therefore ZONE Z1 is normally set to a reach of approx. 70 % of the protected zone
(i.e. about 70 % of the transformer reactance), with no or only a small delay (i.e. T-Z1
= 0.00 s to 0.50 s). Protection then switches off faults on this distance after its operating time or with a slight time delay (high speed tripping). A time delay of 0.1 s is preferred.
For ZONE Z2 the reach could be set to about 100 % of the transformer reactance, or
in addition to a network impedance. The corresponding ZONE2 T2 time stage is to be
set so that it overreaches the power system protective equipment of the following
lines. The T END time is the last back-up time.

The derived primary impedances must be converted for the secondary side of the
current and voltage transformers. In general:
The nominal current of the protection device (= secondary nominal current of the
current transformer) is automatically considered by the device. You have already communicated the transformation ratios of the current and voltage transformers to the
device by entering the nominal transformer values (see section 2.3).

The Z1B overreach zone (address 3308 ZONE Z1B) is an externally controlled stage.
It does not influence the Z1 zone normal stage. Consequently there is no changeover,
but the overreach zone is enabled or disabled depending on the position of the highvoltage side circuit breaker.
The Z1B zone is usually enabled by an opened high-voltage circuit breaker. In this
case every impedance protection pickup can only be due to a fault in the protection
zone of the block, since the power system is disconnected from the block. Consequently the fast tripping zone can be extended to between 100 % and 120 % of the
protection zone without any loss of selectivity.
The Z1B zone is activated via a binary input controlled by the circuit breaker auxiliary
contact (see Figure 2-30). The overreach zone is allocated an individual 3309 T-Z1B

value overreaches the second or third stage of the series-connected network distance
