The device family SIPROTEC 7SJ62/63/64 devices is introduced in this section. An
overview of the devices is presented in their application, characte ristics, and scope of
functions.
The SIPROTEC 7SJ62/63/64 are numerical, multi-functional, protective and control
devices equipped with a powerful microprocessor. All tasks are processed digitally exclusively , from acquisition of measured values up to commands to the circuit breakers.
Figure 1-1 illustrates the basic structure of the devices 7SJ62/63, Figure 1-2 illustrates
the basic structure of the device 7SJ64.
Analog InputsThe measuring inputs (MI) convert the currents and voltages coming from the instru-
ment transformers and adapt them to the level appropriate for the intern al processing
of the device. The device provides four current inputs. Depending on the model, the
device is also equipped with three or four voltage inputs. Three current inputs serve
for input of the phase currents. Depending on the model, the fourth current input (I
may be used for measuring the ground fault current I
(current transformer starpoint)

1.1 Overall Operation
Volt age inp ut s ca n either be use d to measur e the three ph ase-to-g round volt ages, or
two phase-to-phase voltages and the displacement voltage ( V
voltage). It is also pos-
N
sible to connect two phase-to-phase voltages in open-delta connection.
The four voltage transformers of 7SJ64 can either be ap plied for the input of 3 phase-
to-ground voltages, one displacemen t volt age (V
voltage) or a further voltage for the
N
synchronizing function.
The analog input quantities are passed on to the input amplifiers (IA). The input am-
plifier IA stage provides high-resistance term inations 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) stage consists of a multiplexor, an analog-to-digital (A/D)
converter and of memory components for the transmission of digital signals to the microcomputer system.

Microcomputer
System
Apart from processing the measured values, the microcomp uter system ( μC) also executes the actual protection and control functions. They especially include:
• Filtering and preparation of the measured quantities
• Continuous monitoring of the measured quantities
• Monitoring of the pickup conditions for the individual protective functions
• Interrogation of limit values and sequences in time
• Control of signals for the logic functions
• Output of control commands for switching devices
• Recording of messages, fault data and fault values for analysis
• Management of the operating system and the associated functions such as data recording, real-time clock, communication, interfaces, etc.
• The information is provided via output amplifiers (OA).
Binary Inputs and
Outputs
The computer system obtains external information th ro ug h the bin a ry inp u t/output
modules (inputs and output s). The computer system obtains the information from the
system (e.g remote resetting) or the external equipment (e.g. blocking commands).
Outputs are, in particular, commands to the switchgear units and indications for
remote signalling of important events and statuses.
Front ElementsWith devices with integrated or detached operator panel, information such as messag-
es related to events, states, measured values and the functional status of the device
are provided via light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a display screen (LCD) on the front
panel.
Integrated control and numeric keys in conjunction with the LCD facilitate interaction
with the remote device. Via these elements all information of the device such as configuration and setting parameters, operating and fault messages, and measured
values can be accessed. Setting parameters may be changed in the same way.
In addition, control of circuit breakers and other equipment is possible from the front
panel of the device.
Serial InterfacesA serial PC interface on the front panel is pr ovided for local communications with the
device through a personal computer using the operating program DIGSI.This facilitates a comfortable handling of all device functions.
A separate service interface can be provided for remote communication with the
device via a personal computer using DIGSI. This interface is especially well suited for
dedicated connection of the devices to the PC or for operation via a modem. The
service interface can also be used to connect an RTD box (= resistance temperature
detector) for entering external temperatures (e.g. for overload protection).
23
The additional interface (only 7SJ64) is designed exclusively for connection of a
RTD-Box (= resistance temperature detector) for entering external temperatures.
All data can be transferred to a central control center or monitoring system via the
serial system interface. This interface may be provided with various protocols and
physical transmission schemes to suit the particular application.
A further interface is provided for the time synchronization of the internal clock via
external synchronization sources.
Further communication protocols can be realized via additional interface modules.
Over the operating or service interface you can serve the device (only with 7SJ64)
from a distance or locally with a standard Browser . This can take place during the initial
start-up, examination and also during the operation with the devices. For this the
SIPROTEC 4 standard "Web monitor" is available.

1.1 Overall Operation
Power SupplyThe before-mentioned function elements and their voltage levels are supplied with
power by a power supplying unit (Vaux or PS). Voltage dips may occur if the voltage
supply system (substation battery) becomes short-circu ited. Usually , th ey are bridged
by a capacitor (see also Technical Data).
The numerical, multi-functional SIPROTEC 4 7SJ62/63/64 are versatile devices designed for protection, control and monitoring of busbar feeders. The devices can be
used for line protection in networks that are grounded, low-resistance grounded, ungrounded, or of a compensated neutral point structure. They are suited for networks
that are radial or looped, and for lines with single or multi-terminal feeds. The devices
are equipped with motor protection applicable for asynchronous machines of all sizes.
The devices include the functions that are necessary for protection, monitoring of
circuit breaker positions, and control of the circuit breakers in straight bus applications
or breaker-and-a-half configurations; therefore, the devices can be universally employed. The devices provide excellent backup facilities of differential protective
schemes of lines, transformers, generators, motors, and busbars of all voltage levels.
Protective Functions
Non-directional overcurrent protection (50, 50N, 51, 51N) is the basis of the device.
There are two definite time overcurrent protective elements and one inverse time overcurrent protective element for phase and ground current. For inverse time overcurrent
protective elements, several characteristics of differen t standards are provided. Alternatively, user-defined characteristics can be programmed.
Depending on the version of the device that is or dered, the non-directional overcurrent
protection can be supplemented with directional overcurrent protection (67, 67N),
breaker failure protection (50BF), and sensitive ground fault detection for high-resistance ground faults. The highly sensitive ground fault detection can be directional or
non-directional.
In addition to the fault protection functions already ment ion ed , ot he r pr ot ect i ve fun ctions are available. Some of them depend on the version of the device that is ordered .
These additional functions include frequency protection (81O/U), overvoltage protection (59) and undervoltage protection (27), negative sequence protection (46) and
overload protection (49) with start inhibit for moto rs (66/68) and motor starting p rotection (48), as well as automatic reclosing (79) which allows dif ferent reclosing cycles on
overhead lines. The automatic reclosing system may also be connected externally. To
ensure quick detection of the fault, the device is equipped with a fault locator.
A protection feature can be ordered for the detection of intermittent ground faults
which detects and accumulates transient ground faults.
External detectors account for ambient temperatures or coolant temperatures (by
means of an external RTD-box).
Before reclosing after thre e-pole tripping 7SJ64 can ve rify the validity of the reclosure
by voltage check and/or synchronous check. The synchronization function can also be
controlled externally.
Control FunctionsThe device provides a control function which can be accomplished fo r activa ting an d
deactivating switchgears via the integrated operator panel, the system inter face,
binary inputs, and the serial port using a personal computer with DIGSI.
The status of the primary equipment can be transmitted to the device via auxiliary contacts connected to binary input s. The presen t status (or po sition) of the primar y equipment can be displayed on the device, and used for interlocking or plausibility monitoring. The number of the operating equipment to be switched is limited by the binary
inputs and outputs available in the de vice or the binary inputs and outputs allocated
for the switch position indications. Depending on the primary equipment being con-
25

1.2 Application Scope
trolled, one binary input (single point indication) or two binary inputs (double point indication) may be used for this process.
The capability of switching primary equipment can be restricted by a setting associated with switching authority (Remote or Local), and by the operating mode (interlocked/non-interlocked, with or without password request).
Processing of interlocking conditions for switching (e.g. switchgear interlocking) can
be established with the aid of integrated, user-configurable logic functions.
Messages and Measured Values; Recording of Event
and Fault Data
The operating messages 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 userdefinable logic functions and/or issued via serial interfaces.
During a fault (system fault) important events and changes in condition s are saved in
fault protocols (Event Log or Trip Log). Instantaneous fault values are also saved in
the device and may be analized subsequently.
CommunicationSerial interfaces are available for the communication with operating, control and
memory systems.
A 9-pole DSUB socket at the front panel is used for local communication with a per-
sonal computer. By mea ns of the SIPROTEC operating sof tware DIGSI, all operation
and evaluation tasks can be executed via this user interface, such as specifying and
modifying configuration parameters and settings, configuring user-specific logic functions, retrieving operational messages and measured values, inquiring device conditions and measured values, issuing control commands.
Depending on the individual ordering variant, a dditio nal inter faces a re lo ca ted on the
rear side of the device. They serve to est ablish an extensive communication with other
digital operating, control and memory components:
The service interface ca n be operated via electrical d ata lines or fiber optics and also
allows communication via modem. For this reason, remote operation is possible via
personal computer and the DIGSI operating sof tware, e.g. to operate seve ral devices
via a central PC.
The additional port (only 7SJ64) is designed exclusively for connection of a RTD-Box
(= resistance temperature detector) for enteri ng external tempe ratures. It can also be
operated via data lines or fibre optic cables.
The system interface ensures the central communication between the device and the
substation controller. It can also be operated via data lines or fibre optic cables. For
the data transfer S tandard Protocols a ccording IEC 60870 870-5-103 are available via
the system port. The integration of the devices into the automation systems SINAUT
LSA and SICAM can also take place with this profile.
The EN-100-module allows the devices to be integrated in 100-Mbit-Ethernet communication networks in control and automation systems using protocols according to
IEC61850. Besides control system integra tio n, this interf ac e en a ble s DIG S I-c om m unication and inter-relay communication via GOOSE.
Alternatively , a field bus coupling with PROFIBUS FMS is availa ble for SIPROTEC 4.
The PROFIBUS FMS according to DIN 19245 is an open communication standard
that has particularly wide acceptance in process co ntrol and a utomation engineer ing,
with especially high performance. A profile has been de fined for the PROFIBUS com-
munication that covers all of the information types required for protective and process
control engineering. The integration of the devices into the power automation system
SICAM can also take place with this profile.
Besides the field-bus connection with PROFIBUS FMS, further couplings are possible
with PROFIBUS DP and the protocols DNP3.0 and MODBUS. These protocols do not
support all possibilities which are offered by PROFIBUS FMS.
