User-Programmable LED ConfigurationThe 4 user-programmable LEDs are assigned to any functions using OUTPUT CONFIG > OUTPUT MATRIXmenu.The 4 user-programmable LEDs are mapped to Phase IL1/A, IL2/B, IL3/C, IE/E by default. This default configura-tion shall be printed on one side of the paper label provided with the decal. If you decide to change the config-uration for the programmable LEDs, then you must write the name of the function (to which the program-mable LED is mapped) on the rear side of the paper label provided with the decal.If the LEDs are mapped to any protection or phase function, then they will be turned ON when the functiontrips. For example if an LED is mapped to the 51-1 function, then the LED will be turned ON when the relaytrips due to 51-1 fault.If the LEDs are mapped to a miscellaneous function, then the LEDs turn ON as and when the event occurs. Forexample if the LED is mapped to BI 1 operated, then the LED is turned ON when BI 1 input is present.

Binary Inputs Overview

The binary inputs (BI) are optocouplers operated from a suitably rated AC/DC power supply.The device variant with AC/DC power supply has binary inputs with an operating threshold of AC/DC 88 V.Devices with DC auxiliary power supply have binary inputs with a threshold of DC 19 V.The status of BI can be viewed via LCD or Reydisp Evolution software or SCADA.The 7SR45 Argus Relays are available with 2 or 4 binary inputs. You can assign any binary input to any of theavailable functions such as inhibits, binary outputs, reset flags, and general alarms under INPUT CONFIG >INPUT MATRIX. The binary input can also be mapped to operate the pulse output in the presence of auxiliarypower supply/CT input.Pickup (PU) and Dropoff (DO) time delays are associated with each binary input. Where no pickup delay hasbeen applied, the input may pick up due to induced AC voltage on the wiring connections (for example, crosssite wiring). The default pickup time of 20 ms provides AC immunity.Each input can be configured independently. Each input can be logically inverted to facilitate integration ofthe relay within the user scheme. When inverted, the relay indicates that the BI is triggered when no binaryinput voltage is applied. Inversion occurs before the PU and DO time delay.Binary inputs can be configured for instantaneous operation from DC 19 V power supply by setting the pickuptimer to 0 ms and the dropout timer to 25 ms.Each binary input can be assigned to any binary output and it allows the relay to provide panel indications andalarms.

Binary Outputs Overview

The 7SR45 Argus Relay provides 2 or 4 binary outputs which can be configured to send commands to theswitchgear units and annunciations for remote signaling of the important events and status.The binary output can be assigned to any available functions under OUTPUT CONFIG > OUTPUT MATRIXmenu.

Binary Output Configuration In the default operating mode, binary outputs are self reset and remain energized until the triggering condi-tion exists. If required, the binary outputs can be programmed to operate as hand reset.

ii NOTEThe binary output 1 and binary output 2 only can be configured as hand reset. The binary output 3 andbinary output 4 are always of self reset type. The minimum operating time is 20 ms.

For 7SR450[1/3]-xGA10-1AA0In the default operating mode, binary outputs are self reset. If required, the outputs can be programmed tooperate as hand reset. However, the hand reset functionality is applicable for protection trip signals, IRFsignal, and BI signals only.All the supervisory signals such as low battery, general pick up, and protection healthy are always of self resettype.By default, the binary output 1 is mapped to IRF function and programmed as hand reset. In the self resetcondition, the binary output resets if the input current drops below the sensitivity levels.

ii NOTEIn the absence of auxiliary voltage, the binary output 3 and binary output 4 will not be functional andremain in the non-operated condition.

Pulse Output The pulse output is used to interface directly with the low energy circuit-breaker trip coil. The pulse outputprovides 24 V, 0.1 Ws pulses of 50 ms on and 500 ms off.The pulse output operates when any configured protection function trips. The trip energy for the trip coil isstored in a capacitor built into the protection device. The capacitors are charged with the auxiliary powersupply/phase current. The pulses are repeated until the fault current falls below the set value. The pulseoutput does not require any mapping with protection functions.In the presence of auxiliary power supply/phase current, the pulse output operates when it is mapped to abinary input. When the assigned binary input is triggered, the pulse output operates, local flag operates, andTrip LED flashes. The pulse output operates until the auxiliary power supply/phase current is available.

ii NOTEThe time between 2 pulses depends on the impedance of the trip coil and magnitude of the current (if therelay is powered via phase currents).When there is no load connected at the output of pulse output (no trip coil is connected), the pulse onduration varies from 50 ms to 70 ms.The pulse output cannot be triggered via rear/font communication protocols, Siemens recommends usingbinary inputs for triggering the pulse output for remote trip applications.

The remote flag output provides 24 V,0.01 Ws pulses of 50 ms on and 500 ms off.The remote flag output operates when any protection function trips. The energy is stored in a capacitor builtinto the protection relays. The capacitor is charged with an auxiliary voltage or phase current. The pulses arerepeated until the fault current falls below the set value. The remote flag output does not require anymapping with protection functions.

Data StorageThe relay stores 2 types of data: Fault records, event records.Data records are stored in the non-volatile memory. The Data Storage menu contains the settings for clearingevents and faults.

Fault Records (Trip Log) The fault records are generated when the protection function detects a fault condition and the trip alertmessage appears on the LCD. Up to 10 fault records can be stored and displayed on the fascia LCD.The fault record provides a summary of the following relay status:

• Settings group

• Element that issued the trip

• Any phase/earth picked up

• Fault magnitude

• LED indications

• General alarm

• Date and timeThe trip alert message is displayed until you acknowledge the fault.The fault and event records provide the full sequence of events that results to a trip for analysis.The fault records are stored in a rolling buffer with the oldest faults overwritten. The fault storage can becleared with the DATA STORAGE > Clear Faults setting in HMI

Event Records (Event Log) The event recorder feature allows the time tagging of any status change (Event) in the relay. When an eventoccurs, the actual event condition is logged as a record with a date and time stamp to a resolution of 1 ms.The relay can store a maximum of 100 event records. When the operational log is full, any new record over-writes the old records.Stored events can be cleared by using the DATA STORAGE > Clear Events setting in HMI or from ReydispEvolution.The following events are logged:

• Status change of binary outputs

• Status change of binary inputs

• Change of settings

• Device startup and shut down

• Protection element operation

• Critical or low battery

• General alarm

• Internal Relay Failure (IRF)The Thermal level of the device can be cleared using the DATA STORAGE > Reset Thermal Level settingin HMI or from Reydisp Evolution.

These settings can be used to select the number of elements required.Parameter State DescriptionDisabled The element is inactive.Enabled The element is active.

Gn 51-n SettingDefault setting: 1.00 ⋅ Irated

This setting defines the operating current threshold of the element. The applied phase current must exceedthis setting by a factor of 1.10x for pickup of the element. The operation timing then depends on the selectedcharacteristic for the element setting. Once the current is below 1.00x the setting value, the element pickupresets and the reset characteristic is applied. This factor is always applied for 51 elements including when thecharacteristic is selected as DTL. Set this setting to suit your individual application. Gn 51-n CharDefault setting: IEC-NI = IEC normal inverseThis setting defines the characteristic of the inverse curve. Standard ANSI and IEC curves are provided asstandard. The characteristic can also be set as DTL. This increases the number of DTL elements that are avail-

able if more are required. A 51 element can provide a DTL operate and DTL reset characteristic if that isrequired.Set the characteristic to suit your application. Gn 51-n Time Mult (if Gn 51-n Char is set as IEC/ANSI)Default Setting: 1.00This setting defines the time multiplier that is applied to the selected current curve. For IEC curves, this value istraditionally in the range of 0.01 to 10 and for ANSI curves, a value of 0.01 to 10 is typically applied. Gn 51-n Delay (if Gn 51-n Char is set as DTL)Default setting: 5.00 sThis should be set to suit the individual application. If any other characteristic curve is selected, this setting isnot used. Gn 51-n MinOperateDefault setting: 0.00 sWith this parameter, a minimum operate delay time can be selected. The operate delay time of theinverse‑time characteristic curve never falls below the minimum operate delay time.

The reset parameter is used to define whether the element pickup resets to 0 instantaneously when thecurrent falls below the setting or a reset curve characteristic or fixed DTL is applied. This operation is signifi-cant during intermittent faults where an induction disc device would be partially rotated when the faultcurrent is reapplied.Parameter Value DescriptionIEC/ANSI Decay This selection applies a resetting curve to the element pickup to provide

emulation of an induction disc device. The standard IEC curve is applied ifthe operating Char is an IEC Characteristic and the ANSI reset curve isapplied for an ANSI operating Char. Select this setting if the device is coor-dinated with electromechanical devices or other devices which perform adisc emulation reset.

00 s Use this setting for instantaneous reset of the element. When the currentfalls below the setting, the pickup resets completely instantaneously andsubsequent increase in current above the setting restarts the operationdelay from 0.

01 s – 60 s The percentage operated state is retained when the current falls below thesetting for a period of the set delay. A subsequent increase in current toabove the setting within the set delay allows operation to resume from thepartially operated state instead of 0.

Gn 51-n Inrush ActionDefault Setting: OffHigh levels of inrush currents into reactive components, for example transformers; when they are switched incan result in operation of overcurrent elements. The inrush current can be detected by the 81HBL2 element.This parameter can be configured to inhibit the overcurrent element automatically.Parameter Value DescriptionOff The overcurrent element is not affected by operation of the 81HBL2

element.Inhibit The overcurrent element is inhibited by operation of the 81HBL2 element

and automatically released when the 81HBL2 element resets.

Settings ExampleThe 51-n characteristic element provides a number of time/current operate characteristics. The element can bedefined as either an Inverse Definite Minimum Time Lag (IDMTL) or Definite Time Lag (DTL) characteristic. Ifan IDMTL characteristic is required, then IEC and ANSI/IEEE curves are supported. IDMTL characteristics aredefined as inverse because their tripping times are inversely proportional to the fault current being measured.This makes them particularly suitable to grading studies where it is important that only the relay/relays closestto the fault operate. Differentiation can be achieved with minimized operating times. For more details, refer to5.3 Time-Delayed Overcurrent (51/51G/51N) .

Default setting: 0.5 ⋅ Irated

This setting defines the operating current threshold of the element. The applied phase current must exceedthis setting by a factor of 1.10x for pickup of the element. The operation timing will then be dependent on theselected characteristic for the element setting. The element pickup will reset when the current is below 1.00xthe setting and the reset characteristic will be applied. This factor is always applied for 51G elements includingwhen the Char is selected as DTL. This setting should be set to suit the individual application. Gn 51G-n CharDefault setting: IEC-NIThis setting defines the characteristic of the inverse curve. Standard ANSI and IEC curves are provided asstandard. The characteristic can also be set as DTL. This increases the number of DTL elements that are avail-able if more are required. 51G elements have a configurable reset characteristic that can be set as DTL. A 51Gelement can provide a DTL operate and DTL reset characteristic if that is required.The characteristic should be set to suit the individual application. Gn 51G-n Time Mult (if Char is set as IEC or ANSI)Default Setting: 1.00This setting defines the time multiplier that is applied to the selected current curve. For IEC curves, this value istraditionally in the range of 0.01 to 10. For ANSI curves, a value of 0.01 to 10 is typically applied. Gn 51G-n Delay (if Char is set as DTL)Default setting: 5.00 sThis is the time delay setting for the element when the Char element is selected as DTL. This should be set tosuit the individual application. This setting is not used if any other characteristic curve is selected.The characteristic should be set to suit the individual application. Gn 51G-n MinOperateDefault setting: 0.00 sWith this parameter a minimum operate delay time can be selected. The operate delay time of inversetimecharacteristic curve never falls below the minimum operate delay time.

Gn 51G-n Follower DTLDefault setting: 0.00 sThis setting allows an additional time to be added to that achieved by the selected characteristic curve. It isapplied as a DTL time after the operate state from the curve is achieved. With this setting, the whole curve isshifted linearly on the time axis by this additional definite time.This is traditionally used with recloser systems only and otherwise is recommended to be left at the defaultsetting of 0s.Gn 51G-n ResetDefault setting: 0.00 sThe reset parameter is used to define whether the element pickup resets to 0 instantaneously when thecurrent falls below the setting or a reset curve characteristic or fixed DTL is applied. This operation is signifi-cant during intermittent faults where an induction disc device would be partially rotated when the faultcurrent is re-applied.Parameter Value DescriptionIEC/ANSI Decay This selection applies a resetting curve to the element pickup to provide

emulation of an induction disc device. The standard IEC curve is applied ifthe operating Char is an IEC Characteristic and the ANSI reset curve isapplied for an ANSI operating Char. Select this setting if the device is coor-dinated with electromechanical devices or other devices which perform adisc emulation reset.

00 s Use this setting for instantaneous reset of the element. When the currentfalls below the setting, the pickup resets completely instantaneously andsubsequent increase in current above the setting will restart the operationdelay from 0.

01 s – 60 s The percentage operated state is retained when the current falls below thesetting for a period of the set delay. Subsequent increase in current toabove the setting within the set delay allows operation to resume from thepartially operated state instead of 0.

51G-n Inrush ActionDefault Setting: OffHigh levels of inrush currents into reactive components such as transformers when they are switched canresult in operation of overcurrent elements. The Inrush current can be detected by a high percentage ofsecond harmonic current content by the 81HBL2 element. This parameter can be configured to inhibit theearth fault element automatically by configuration of this setting.Parameter Value DescriptionOff The earth fault element is not affected by operation of the 81HBL2 element.Inhibit The earth fault element is inhibited by operation of the 81HBL2 element

and automatically released when the 81HBL2 element resets.

Settings ExampleThe 51G-n characteristic element provides a number of time/current operate characteristics. The element canbe defined as either an Inverse Definite Minimum Time Lag (IDMTL) or Definite Time Lag (DTL) characteristic.If an IDMTL characteristic is required, then IEC and ANSI/IEEE curves are supported. IDMTL characteristics aredefined as inverse because their tripping times are inversely proportional to the fault current being measured.This makes them particularly suitable to grading studies where it is important that only the relay(s) closest tothe fault operate. Differentiation can be achieved with minimised operating times. For more details, refer to5.3 Time-Delayed Overcurrent (51/51G/51N) .

Switch onto Fault Protection (50LC/SOTF) Overview of the Function (50LC/SOTF)

The Instantaneous tripping at Switch onto Fault (SOTF) function serves for immediate tripping when switchingonto a fault.

• Detects phase faults in the electrical power system immediately after energization

• Provides additional overcurrent protection at the time of circuit‑breaker closing operation

• Reports that a fault was present during a close operation

• Can be used to prevent repeatedly closing a circuit breaker onto a faluty system

• Can ensure that faults are cleared from the circuit breaker being closed rather than from a remote loca-tion

The SOTF function monitors the phase current for a maximum duration of 25 AC cycles from the CT interruptand trips when any fault is detected as per the user settings. After the 25 AC cycles, the SOTF function isinhibited automatically.

Structure of the Function (50LC/SOTF)The switch onto fault protection element has group‑dependent settings. These settings can be different ineach settings group – group numbers (Gn) 1 and 2.The 50LC/SOTF function monitors the primary system phase currents using the phase CT inputs for exampleCT1/2/3.The 50LC/SOTF element provides additional 3‑phase overcurrent protection that can be set to suit fault detec-tion during energization of a circuit. Typically, this element is set faster than the time‑graded overcurrent andearth fault protection to clear faults when the circuit breaker is closed onto a faulted system.One element is available for this function.

Blocking of the StageThe 50LC/SOTF function can be disabled if it is not required.Each element has an inhibit input that can be operated by a binary input or by an inrush current detected bythe 81HBL2 element.

Thermal Overload Protection (49) Overview of the Function (49)

The thermal overload potection is used to:

• Monitor the real-time thermal levels (θ) of the electrical equipment

• Provide protection from thermal overload by tripping the electrical equipment

ii NOTEThe thermal overload protection function (49) is not available for 7SR450[1/3]-xGA10-1AA0 MLFB variants.

Structure of the Function (49)One thermal element is provided in the 7SR45 Argus Relay.The temperature of the protected equipment is not measured directly. The function measures the thermallevel of the equipment based on hot curve & cold curve characteristics (as described in IEC 60255-149) and bycalculating the maximum RMS values of phase currents. If the RMS current rises above the 49 Overloadsetting for a defined time, then an output signal to trip is given.As per IEC 60255-149, the operating time is a function of the thermal heating time constant 49 TauH andprevious current levels.

Cold Operating CharacteristicsThe cold operating characteristic comes into effect when the relay has no prefault current and the previousthermal level is 0. Thus, IP = 0 and the time to trip is given as:

[fo_cold_operatetime_devicemanual, 1, en_US]

Hot Operating CharacteristicsThe hot operating characteristic comes into effect when the relay has a steady-state prefault current. Thiscurrent increases the previous thermal level above 0. The time to trip is given as:

Overview 7SR45 self powered/dual powered relay is a numerical overcurrent and earth-fault protection relay primarilyintended for secondary distribution in electrical networks.The 7SR45 Argus relay is designed to operate with/without an auxiliary supply. The relay is powered primarilyfrom the auxiliary voltage even though all other power sources are available.In the absence of auxiliary voltage, the relay is powered by CT input.The relay offers definite-time and inverse-time overcurrent and ground fault protection functions in accord-ance to IEC and ANSI standards.The 7SR45 relay is targeted for the following applications:

• Protection relay for Ring Main Units (RMU)

• Backup protection relay for the medium-voltage applications

• Protection applications in remote locations where auxiliary supply is not available

• Control and relay panels refurbishment of old electromechanical protection relays

Current-Transformer Requirements and Sample Calculations

Current-Transformer Requirements

The 7SR45 Argus relay uses the current inputs to energize the relay.Higher ohmic burdens in the current transformer (CT) secondary circuit results in greater saturation of thecore and introduces larger errors in the secondary current waveform. For a given secondary current, it requiresmore voltage from the CT for a higher burden.The total burden on the CT is the vector sum of

• CT winding resistance

• Connecting lead resistance

• Impedance of any auxiliary CTs

• Impedance of the connected relays and metersAfter the ohmic burden is determined, the next step is to predict the CT performance. This is done by deter-mining the required CT excitation voltage or secondary limit voltage. The calculated total ohmic burden ismutiplied by the accuracy limit factor (ALF) and rated secondary current to measure this value.The following expression shows the secondary limiting excitation voltage (EALF):EALF = ALF ⋅ Isr ⋅ (Rct + Rbn)WhereALF – Accuracy limiting factorIsr – Rated secondary current of CT (A)Rct – CT winding resistance (Ω)Rbn – Rated burden of CT (Ω)If the secondary limiting excitation voltage (EALF) calculated exceeds the knee-point voltage of the connectedCT, the CT gets saturated.To select a proper CT, consider the ALF at a given burden. Check the ALF for the entire range of currents therelay is expected to operate.For proper operation of the CT, fulfill the following condition:

[fo_accuracy-limiting-factor_V1, 1, --_--]

So,

[fo_accuracy-limiting-factor_V2, 1, --_--]

WhereIs – Actual secondary current of CT (A)Rb – Actual secondary burden of CT (Ω) (includes burden of the relay (Rrel) and resistance (Rl) of the cablebetween CT and relay.The burden of the 7SR45 relay depends on the input current. The impedance of the relay is inversely propor-tional to the input current. Based on the field conditions, Siemens recommends selecting the primary CT turnsratio that is at least 10 % ⋅ Irated to reduce the dependency of the internal battery.The following graphs show the impedance of the relay for different currents when the relay is poweredthrough a 1-phase current input.

Recommended CTsConsidering the CTs are connected to the 7SR45 Argus Relay only and the distance between CTs and the7SR45 Argus relay (typically 3 m) is short, use the following CTs:

• 2.5 VA, 5P10 or 5P20 for Irated = 1 A

• 2.5 VA, 5P20 for Irated = 5 A

ii NOTEFor safe operation of the 7SR45 Argus Relay, the maximum power delivered to the relay is 1000 VA for 1 s.Moreover, Siemens does not recommend overloading the relay above 1000 VA for multiple times.

Time-Delayed Overcurrent (51/51G/51N) The 51-n characteristic element provides a number of time/current operate characteristics. The element can bedefined as either an Inverse Definite Minimum Time Lag (IDMTL) or Definite Time Lag (DTL) characteristic. Ifan IDMTL characteristic is required, then IEC, ANSI/IEEE, and a number of manufacturer-specific curves aresupported.The IDMTL characteristics are defined as Inverse because the tripping times are inversely proportional to thefault current being measured. This is suitable for grading studies and important in operating the relay which isclose to the fault. Discrimination can be achieved with minimized operating time.To optimize the grading capability of the relay extra time multiplier, Follower DTL or Minimum operate timesettings can be applied.

To increase sensitivity, dedicated ground fault elements are used. There must be a little or no current flowingto earth in a healthy system, so that relays can give far lower pickup levels than relays which detect excesscurrent (> load current) in each phase conductor. Such dedicated earth-fault relays are important where thefault path to ground is a high-impedance (such as in highly arid areas). Such dedicated ground fault relays areimportant where the system uses high values of earthing resistor/reactance and the fault current detected inthe phase conductors is limited.

Reset Delay

The increasing use of plastic insulated cables both conventionally buried and aerial bundled conductors haveraised the number of flashing intermittent faults on distribution systems. At the fault location, the plasticmelts and temporarily reseals the faulty cable for a short time after which the insulation fails again. The samephenomenon occurs in compound-filled joint boxes or on clashing overhead line conductors. If the reset timeof the relay is longer than the time between successive faults, the repeating occurrence of the fault can causeelectromechanical disc relays to ratchet up and eventually trip the faulty circuit.To mimic an electromechanical relay, the relay can be user-programmed for an IEC/ANSI DECAYING character-istic when an ANSI operate characteristic is applied. Alternatively, a DTL reset (0 s to 60 s) can be used withother operating characteristics.For protection of cable feeders, Siemens recommends using 60 s DTL reset.On overhead line networks, particularly where circuit breaker with automatic reclosing functions are incorpo-rated in the protected system, instantaneous resetting is desirable to ensure that, on multiple-shot reclosingschemes, correct grading between the source relays and the relays associated with the circuit breaker withautomatic reclosing functions are maintained.

Instantaneous Overcurrent (50/50G/50N) Each instantaneous element has an independent setting for pickup current and a follower definite time lag(DTL) which can be used to provide time grading margins, sequence coordination grading, or scheme logic.The instantaneous description relates to the pickup of the element rather than its operation.

[dw_general-form_of_DTL-operate, 1, en_US]

Figure 5-6 General Form of DTL Operate Characteristic

Instantaneous elements can be used in current graded schemes where there is a significant differencebetween the fault-current levels at different relay points. The instantaneous element is set to pick up at acurrent level above the maximum fault current level at the next downstream relay location, and below its ownminimum fault current level. The protection is set to operate instantaneously and is often termed HighsetOvercurrent. A typical application is the protection of transformer HV connections – the impedance of thetransformer ensuring that the LV side has a much lower level of fault current.The 50-n elements have a low transient overreach that is their accuracy is not appreciably affected by theinitial DC offset transient associated with fault inception.

Thermal Overload (49)Continuous overload current can cause the electrical equipment (cables/transformers) to heat above the ratedtemperature or thermal equilibrium. This would result in damage to the protected equipment. In order toovercome this issue, the electrical equipment must be protected from Thermal Overload.The thermal overload function monitors thermal levels (θ) of the electrical equipment thus tripping them incase of thermal overload. The function prevents re-energizing of electrical equipment until the equipment iscooled.The element uses maximum RMS value of phase currents to estimate the real-time thermal level (θ) of cablesor transformers. The thermal level is based on both past and present current levels, thermal level θ = 100 % formaximum thermal withstand of equipment or the trip threshold.

Inrush Response The 7SR45 Argus Relay is designed with immunity against inrush currents (15 % of 2nd harmonic) up to 3 timesthe peak current with fundamental component (50 Hz/60 Hz) inside the currents less than 95 % of Iset.During charging of transformer in the distribution system, the inrush current is generated and the relay doesnot respond to the inrush current up to 3 times the peak value as its not a fault condition.For example, in the waveform shown in the following figure, the inrush currents have been simulated for 3times the peak values of the phase overcurrent setting (51-1: Iset – 0.9 A) and the relay response for the inrushcurrent is monitored. The 2nd harmonic content of the simulated inrush currents is 15 % and the relay funda-mental current component is less than 0.85 A (< 95 % Iset).

Inrush Detector (81HBL2) The inrush detector (81HBL2) element detects the presence of high levels of 2nd harmonic current, which indi-cates a transformer inrush current during switch-on. The inrush current raises above the operate level of theovercurrent elements for a short duration. It is important that the relay does not issue an incorrect tripcommand for this transient network condition.If a magnetic inrush condition is detected, then operation of the overcurrent elements can be blocked.The calculation of the magnetizing inrush current level is complex, however a ratio of 20 % of the 2nd

harmonic to the fundamental current meets most applications without compromising the integrity of theovercurrent protection.When the inrush detector (81HBL2) is active, if the fundamental current crosses the 81HBL2 ReleaseBlock setting, then the relay issues the trip command and provides the fault and event records based on theprotection function Is setting and the current magnitudes.

ii NOTEWhen the 50LC Inrush Action is enabled, the 81HBL2 Release Block setting must be greater thanthe 50LC Setting.

Before Testing

Safety

ii NOTEThe commissioning and maintenance of the relay should only be carried out by skilled personnel trained inprotective relay maintenance and capable of observing all of the safety precautions and regulations appro-priate to this type of relay and also the associated primary plant.

The following saftey procedures should be followed

• The integrity of any protective conductor connection shall be checked before carrying out any otheractions.

• The relay ratings, operating instructions, and installation instructions must be checked before thecommissioning or maintenance.

• Ensure that all of the test equipment and leads have been correctly maintained and are in good condi-tion.

• Siemens recommends connecting all power supplies of the test equipment via a residual current relay(RCD) which must be located as close to the supply source as possible.

• The selection of test instrument and test leads must be appropriate to the application.

• The selection of an inappropriate range on a multi-range instrument could lead to a dangerous flashover.Therefore, fused instrument leads must be used when measurements of power sources are involved.

• The failure or blowing of an instrument fuse or the operation of an instrument cut-out could cause thesecondary winding of the current transformer (CT) to become open circuit. Therefore,fused test leadsshould not be used where the measurement of a CT secondary current is involved

• Open circuit secondary windings on energized current transformers are a hazard that can produce highvoltages that are dangerous to personnel and damaging to equipment. Thus, test procedures must bedevised as to eliminate this risk.

Sequence of Tests

ii NOTEWhen testing other relays at the same time, coordinate with such testing to avoid danger to personnel andequipment.

• When cabling and wiring are complete, carry out a comprehensive check of all terminations for requiredtorque and compliance with the approved diagrams.

• This is followed by the insulation resistance tests, which if satisfactory allows the wiring to be energizedby either the appropriate supply or test supplies.

• When primary injection tests are completed satisfactorily, all remaining systems can be functionallytested before the primary circuit is energized.

• Some circuits can require further tests before being energized.

• Protection relay testing requires access to the protection-system wiring diagrams, relay configurationinformation, and protection settings.

• The subsequent sequence of tests is based on the arrangement of the relay menu structure.

• A test log is based on the actual tests completed and must be recorded for each relay tested.

Reyrolle, 7SR45, Device Manual 105C53000-G7040-C101-2, Edition 09.2020

Test Equipment

The following test equipment is required:

• Secondary injection equipment with integral time interval meter

• Primary injection equipment

• A power source with rated voltage within the working range of the auxiliary-supply rating of the relay.

• A power source with rated voltage within the working range of the binary input rating of the relay.

• Other equipment as appropriate to the protection being commissioned. For more information, refer tothe product-specific documentation.

The secondary injection equipment must be appropriate to the protection functions to be tested. Additionalequipment for general tests and for testing the communications channel is:

• Laptop computer with appropriate interface equipment.

• Printer to operate from the laptop computer (optional).

Use of Laptop Computer to Facilitate Testing

The functions of Reydisp Evolution can be used during the commissioning tests to assist with test proceduresor to provide documentation for recording the test and test parameters. One method is to clear the eventrecords before each test is started, after the test upload from the relay, the settings, events file generated as aresult of application of the test. These files can be saved to retain a comprehensive record of that test.You can prepare the relay settings on the laptop computer (offline) or on the relay before the test. Thesesettings should be saved for reference and compared with the settings at the end of testing. This enableschecking of errors that are not introduced during testing and any temporary changes to settings to suit thetest process are returned to the required service state.A copy of the relay settings as a Rich Text Format (.rtf) file suitable for printing or for record purposes can beproduced from Reydisp Evolution as follows:

• From the File menu, select Save As.

• Change the File type to Export Default/ Actual Setting (.RTF) and enter a suitable file name.When testing is completed, the event records must be cleared and the settings file checked to ensure that therequired in-service settings are being applied.

Applying SettingsThe relay settings for the particular application must be applied before any secondary testing occurs. If relaysettings are not available, then the relay with default settings can be used for precommissioning tests.Note that the tripping and alarm contacts for any function must be programmed correctly before any schemetests are carried out.The relay features multiple settings groups. Only one of the settings groups is active at a time. In the applica-tions where more than one settings group is to be used, it can be necessary to test the relay in more than oneconfiguration.When using the settings groups, it is not important for the relay to operate in the settings apart from thecurrent display mode. The relay operates in the Active Settings Group and the visible edit/view settings groupcan be altered. This allows the settings in one group to be altered from the relay fascia while the protectioncontinues to operate on a different unaffected group. The Active Settings Group and the Edit Settings Groupare selected in the Menu.If the relay is allowed to trip during testing, the instruments display is interrupted and replaced by the TripAlert screen which displays the fault-data information.After applying a settings change to the relay, which may involve a change to the indication and outputcontacts, press the TEST/RESET key to ensure that any existing indication and output is correctly cleared.
