Overcurrent protection
(50, 51, 67)
The protection provides following features:
Two definite time stages
One inverse time stage
11 kinds of IEC and ANSI inverse time
characteristic curves as well as
optional user defined characteristic
Selectable directional element
characteristic angle to satisfy the
different network conditions and
applications
Each stage can be set individually as
directional/non-directional
Each stage can be set individually for
inrush restraint
Cross blocking function for inrush
detection
Settable maximum inrush current
VT secondary circuit supervision for
directional protection. Once VT failure
happens, the directional stage can be
set to be blocked or to be
non-directional stage
Inrush restraint function
The protection relay may detect large
magnetizing inrush currents during
transformer energizing. In addition to
considerable unbalance fundamental
current, Inrush current comprises large
second harmonic current which does not
appear in short circuit current. Therefore,
the inrush current may affect the protection
functions which operate based on the
fundamental component of the measured
current. Accordingly, inrush restraint logic
is provided to prevent overcurrent
protection from mal- -operation.
Furthermore, by recognition of the inrush
current in one phase, it is possible to set
the protection in a way that not only the
phase with the considerable inrush current,
but also the other phases of the
overcurrent protection are blocked for a
certain time. This is achieved by
cross-blocking feature integrated in the
IED.
The inrush restraint function has a
maximum inrush current setting. Once the
measuring current exceeds the setting, the
overcurrent protection will not be blocked
any longer.
Characteristic of direction
element
The direction detection is performed by
determining the position of current vector
in directional characteristic. In other word,
it is done by comparing phase angle
between the fault current and the reference
voltage, Figure 1 illustrates the direction
detection characteristic for phase A
element.

For three-phase short-circuit fault, without
any healthy phase, memory voltage values
are used to determine direction clearly if
the measured voltage values are not
sufficient. The detected direction is based
on the voltage of previously saved cycles.
Earth fault protection
(50N, 51N, 67N)
The Earth fault protection can be used to
clear phase to earth faults as system
back-up protection.
The protection provides following features:
Two definite time stages
One inverse time stage
11 kinds of the IEC and ANSI inverse
time characteristic curves as well as
optional user defined characteristic
Zero sequence directional element
Negative sequence directional element
is applied as a complement to zero
sequence directional element. It can be

For earth fault protection, users can
choose negative sequence directional
element as the complement of zero
sequence directional element. It can be
used in case of too low zero sequence

Inrush restraint function
The protection relay may detect large
magnetizing inrush currents during
transformer energizing. In addition to
considerable unbalanced fundamental
current, inrush current comprises large
secondary harmonic current which doesnt
appear in short circuit current. Therefore,
the inrush current may affect the protection
functions which operate based on the
fundamental component of the measured
current. Accordingly, inrush restraint logic
is provided to prevent earth fault protection
from maloperation.
Since inrush current cannot be more than a
specified value, the inrush restraint
provides an upper current limit in which
blocking does not occur.

Neutral earth fault
protection (50G, 51G,
67G)
The neutral earth fault protection focus on
phase to earth faults. The measuring
current is the one from dedicated neutral
CT.
The following features are provided:
Two definite time stages
One inverse time stage
11 kinds of the IEC and ANSI inverse
time characteristic curves as well as
optional user defined characteristic
Each stage can be set to be
directional/non-directional

Zero sequence directional element is
applied. Its characteristic is as same as

Neutral current is measured from
dedicated neutral CT
Inrush restraint feature
The neutral earth fault protection may
detect large magnetizing inrush currents
flowing when transformer is energized.
Directional element
Directional determination of neutral earth
fault elements adopts the zero sequence
directional element as same as the one
applied by earth fault protection. The only
difference is the measured current, which
is measured from the neutral point CT
instead of being calculated from three
phase currents.
Sensitive earth fault
protection (50Ns,
51Ns, 67Ns )
The function provides a high sensitive
earth fault protection for cables and high
impedance grounded or isolated systems
where single phase short circuit current is
made by capacitive current. Furthermore,
the function can operate with/without
selective tripping according to fault
direction.
Sensitive earth fault protection integrated
in the IED provides following features:

characteristic curves as well as
optional user defined characteristic

Dedicated sensitive CT
VT secondary circuit supervision for
directional protection function
For compensated-earthed system or high
resistance earthed system with outgoing
cable feeders, the directional protection is
provided during a single phase fault.
In general, for high impedance earthed
system, whenever a feeder has a high
capacitive current - normally one greater
than 10% of the current limited by the
neutral earthing impedance a simple
sensitive earth fault relay is no longer
enough to give sensitive and selective
protection. In this case, the protection
system for the feeder consists of a
directional sensitive earth fault relay whose
threshold can be set to below the
capacitive current.
In order to discriminate forward and
reverse short circuits, the IED provides two
methods for sensitive earth fault direction
detection which should be utilized to cover
all network configurations according to the
type of grounding. The following
characteristic is possible for directional
detection:

A sensitive current transformer is provided
to detect the small earth fault current (weak
zero sequence current) in isolated
networks or in networks with high
impedance earthing where the earth fault
current is extremely small.
Negative-sequence
overcurrent protection
(46)
A negative sequence (or phase unbalance)
protection is essentially provided for the
protection of generators, motors and
feeders against unbalanced loading that
may arise due to phase-to-phase faults. In
addition, it is useful in detecting
asymmetrical short circuits with
magnitudes lower than the maximum load
current, especially in delta side of the
transformers.
The protection provide following features:
Two definite time stages
One inverse time stage
11 kinds of IEC and ANSI inverse time
characteristic curves as well as
optional user defined characteristic
The first definite stage and inverse
stage can be set individually as alarm
or trip stages
Furthermore, this protection function may
be used to detect interruptions, faults, and
polarity problems with CT.
Thermal overload
protection (49)
The insulating material surrounding the
windings ages rapidly if the temperature
exceeds the design limit value. Thus, a
thermal protection function is required to
supplement the existing winding
temperature device. The thermal overload
protection estimates winding temperature
and thus prevents it from thermal
damaging.
The thermal overload protection operates
based on an approximate replica of the
temperature rise in the protected object
caused by overload.
The memorized thermal replica can be
implemented based on thermal models
(Cold or Hot Curve) of IEC60255-8
standard.
The thermal overload in the IED is
provided with one trip stage as well as one
alarm stage. It is possible to set the alarm
stage at a certain percentage of the setting
value applied at the trip stage.
The calculation is performed separately for
each phase, based on fundamental
component and harmonic components.
Overload protection
(50OL)
The IED supervises load flow in real time.
If each phase current is greater than the
dedicated setting for a set delay time, the
protection will issue alarm.
Protection

Overvoltage protection
(59)
The overvoltage protection detects
abnormally network and machine high
voltage conditions. Overvoltage conditions
may occur possibly in the power system
during abnormal conditions such as
no-load, light load, or open line end on long
line. The protection can be used as open
line end detector or as system voltage
supervision normally.
The protection provides following features:
Two definite time stages
Each stage can be set to alarm or trip
Measuring voltage between phase-
-earth voltage and phase-phase
selectable
Settable dropout ratio
Undervoltage
protection (27)
The undervoltage protection provides
protection against dangerous voltage
drops, especially for electric machines.
The protection function provides following
features:
Two definite time stages
Each stage can be set to alarm or trip
Measuring voltage between phase-
-earth voltage and phase-phase
selectable
Current criteria supervision
Circuit breaker aux. contact

VT secondary circuit supervision, the
undervoltage function will be blocked

Settable dropout ratio
Displacement voltage
protection (64)
The displacement voltage protection is
able to monitor the displacement voltage to
detect the earth fault in power system. It is
usually applied in non-solidly earthed
networks where the earth fault current is
limited.
The displacement voltage 3U
0
can be
either directly measured from VT or
calculated based on connected three
phases to earth voltages. In the latter case,
the three voltages transformers input must
be connected in an earth-wye
configuration.
The protection provide following features:
Two definite time stages
Each stage can be set to alarm or trip
3U
0
based on calculated summation of
3 phase voltage or measured injected
residual voltage
Breaker failure
protection (50BF)
The circuit breaker failure protection is
designed to detect failure of the circuit
breaker during a fault clearance. It ensures
fast back-up tripping of surrounding
breakers by tripping relevant bus sections.
The protection can be single- or
three-phase started to allow use with
single phase tripping applications.
Once a circuit breaker operating failure
Protection
15

occurs on a feeder/transformer, the bus
section which the feeder/transformer is
connected with can be selectively isolated
by the protection. In addition a transfer trip
signal is issued to trip the remote end
circuit breaker of the feeder.
The current criteria are in combination with
three phase current, zero and negative
sequence current to achieve a higher
security.
The function can be set to give single- or
three phase re-tripping of the local breaker
to avoid unnecessary tripping of
surrounding breakers in the case of two
available trip coils.
Additionally, during single pole tripping,
stage 1 is able to re-trip three phase with
settable delay time after single phase
re-tripping failure.
Two trip stages (local and surrounding
breaker tripping)

line end in second stage
Internal/ external initiation

Current criteria checking (including
phase current, zero and negative

Dead zone protection
(50DZ)
The IED provides dead zone protection to
protect the area, between circuit breaker
and CT in the case that CB is open.
Therefore, by occurrence of a fault in dead
zone, the short circuit current is measured
by protection relay while CB auxiliary
contacts indicate the CB is open.
Internal/ external initiation
Self-adaptive for bus side CT or line
side CT
When one bus side CT of feeder or
transformer is applied, once a fault occurs
in the dead zone, the IED trips the relevant
busbar zone. Tripping logic is illustrated in

The VT is mostly installed at line side of
transmission lines. Therefore, for the case
that transmission line is taken out of
service and the line disconnector is
opened, the distance protection will not be
able to operate and must be blocked.
The STUB protection protects the zone
between the CTs and the open
disconnector. The STUB protection is
enabled when the open position of the
disconnector is connected to IED binary
input. The function supports one definite

Poles discordance
protection (50PD)
The phase segregated operating circuit
breakers can be in different positions
(close-open) due to electrical or
mechanical failures during the system
normal operation.
The protection operates based on
information from auxiliary contacts of the
circuit breaker with additional criteria.
The protection performs following
functions:
3 phase CB Aux contacts supervision
Current criteria checking (including
phase current, zero and negative
sequence current)
Synchro-check and
energizing check (25)
The synchro-check function checks
voltages of the circuit breaker sides for
synchronism conditions.
The synchronization function ensures the
stability of the network in three phase
reclosing condition. To do this, the two side
voltages of the circuit breaker are
compared in terms of magnitude, phase
angle and frequency differences.
Additionally, closing can be done safely in
conditions that at least one side of the CB
has dead voltage.

If the automatic reclosing is set for
synchronization check or energizing check,
during the automatic reclosing period, the
synchronization condition of the voltages
between both sides of CB cannot be met,
an alarm will be issued after default time
delay.
Auto-reclosing (79)
For restoration of the normal service after a
fault an auto reclosing attempt is mostly
made for overhead lines. Experiences
show that about 85% of faults have
transient nature and will disappear after an
auto reclosing attempt is performed. This
means that the line can be re-energized in
a short period. The reconnection is
accomplished after a dead time via the
automatic reclosing function. If the fault is
permanent or short circuit arc has not been
disappeared, the protection will re-trip the
breaker. Main features of the
Auto-reclosing are as follows:

Current transformer secondary
circuit supervision
Open or short circuited CT cores can
cause unwanted operation of some
protection functions such as earth fault
current and negative sequence current
functions.
Interruption of the CT secondary circuit is
detected based on zero-sequence current.
Once CT failure happens, each stage of
earth fault protection is blocked.
Voltage transformer secondary
circuit supervision
A measured voltage failure resulting from a
broken conductor or a short circuit fault in
the secondary circuit of voltage
transformer may result in unwanted
operation of the protection functions which
work based on voltage criteria. VT failure
supervision function is provided to block
these protection functions and enable the
backup protection functions. The features
of the function are as follows:
Symmetrical/asymmetrical VT failure

3-phase AC voltage MCB monitoring
1-phase AC voltage MCB monitoring
Zero and negative sequence current

during the automatic reclosing period, the
synchronization condition of the voltages
between both sides of CB cannot be met,
an alarm will be issued after default time
delay.
Self-supervision
All modules can perform
self-supervision to its key hardware
components and program, as soon as
energizing. Parts of the modules are
self-supervised in real time. All internal
faults or abnormal conditions will
initiate an alarm. The fatal faults among
them will result in the whole IED
blocked
CPU module and communication
module perform real time
inter-supervision. Therefore
communication interruption between
them is detected and related alarm will
be given
CRC checks for the setting, program
and configuration, etc.

Station communication
Overview
The IED is able to connect to one or
more substation level systems or
equipments simultaneously, through the
communication ports with
communication protocols supported.
(Shown in Figure 10)
Front communication port
There is a serial RS232 port on the front
plate of all the IEDs. Through this port,
the IED can be connected to the
personal computer for setting, testing,
and configuration using the dedicated
Sifang software tool.
RS485 communication ports
Up to 2 isolated electrical RS485
communication ports are provided to
connect with substation automation
system. These two ports can work in
parallel for IEC60870-5-103.
Ethernet communication
ports
Up to 3 electrical or optical Ethernet
communication ports are provided to
connect with substation automation system.
These two out of three ports can work in
parallel for protocol, IEC61850 or
IEC60870-5-103.
Communication protocol
The IED supports station communication
with IEC 61850-8 and IED60870-5-103
protocols.
By means of IEC61850, GOOSE peer- to
peer communication make it possible that
bay IEDs can exchange information to
each other directly. And a simple
master-less system can be set up for bay
and system interlocking and other
interactive function.

Time synchronization port
All IEDs feature a permanently integrated
electrical time synchronization port. It can
be used to feed timing telegrams in IRIG-B
or pulse format into the IEDs via time
synchronization receivers. The IED can
adapt the second or minute pulse in the
pulse mode automatically.
Meanwhile, SNTP network time
synchronization can be applied.
The Figure 11 illustrates the optional time
synchronization modes.

Modules
Analogue Input Module (AIM)
The analogue input module is used to
galvanically separate and transform the
secondary currents and voltages
generated by the measuring transformers.
CPU Module (CPU)
The CPU module handles all protection
functions and logic.
The redundant A/D sampling channels are
equipped. By comparing the data from
redundant sampling channels, any
sampling data errors and the channel
hardware faults can be detected
immediately and the proper alarm and
blocking is initiated in time.
Communication Module (COM)
The communication module performs
communication between the internal
protection system and external equipments
such as HMI, engineering workstation,
substation automation system, RTU, etc.,
to transmit remote metering, remote
signaling, SOE, event reports and record
data.
Up to 3 channels isolated electrical or
optical Ethernet ports and up to 2 channels
RS485 serial communication ports can be
provided in communication module to meet
the communication demands of different
substation automation system and RTU at
the same time.
The time synchronization port is equipped,
which can work in pulse mode or IRIG-B
mode. SNTP mode can be applied through
communication port.
In addition, a series printer port is also
reserved.
Binary Input Module (BIM)
The binary input module is used to connect
the input signals and alarm signals such as
the auxiliary contacts of the circuit breaker
(CB), etc.
Binary Output Module (BOM)
The binary output modules mainly provide
tripping output contacts, initiating output
contacts and signaling output contacts. All
the tripping output relays have contacts
with a high switching capacity and are
blocked by protection startup elements.
Each output relay can be configured to
satisfy the demands of users.
Power Supply Module (PSM)
The power supply module is used to
provide the correct internal voltages and
full isolation between the terminal and the
battery system.
