The device family SIPROTEC 7RW80 devices is introduced in this section. An overview of the devices is
presented in their application, characteristics, and scope of functions.
1.1 Overall Operation 16
1.2 Application Scope 18
1.3 Characteristics 20
Analog Inputs
The measuring inputs MI transform the voltages derived from the instrument transformers and match them to
the internal signal levels for processing in the device. Three voltage inputs are available in the MI section.
[hw-struktur-7rw80-100519, 1, en_US]
Figure 1-1 Hardware structure of the numerical Voltage and Frequency Protection Device 7RW80
Voltage inputs can either be used to measure the three phase-to-ground voltages, or two phase-to-phase
voltages and the displacement voltage (e–n voltage) or for any other voltage. It is also possible to connect two
phase-to-phase voltages in open-delta connection.
The analog input quantities are passed on to the input amplifiers (IA). The input amplifier IA element provides
a high-resistance termination for the 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) transformer group consists of a an analog-to-digital converter and memory compo-
nents for the transmission of data to the microcomputer.
Microcomputer System
Apart from processing the measured values, the microcomputer system (μC) also executes the actual protec-
tion and control functions. They especially include:
• Management of the operating system and the associated functions such as data recording, real-time
clock, communication, interfaces, etc.
Front Panel
Information such as messages related to events, states, measured values and the functional status of the
device are visualized by light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a display screen (LCD) on the front panel.
Integrated control and numeric keys in conjunction with the LCD enable interaction with the remote device.
These elements can be used to access the device for information such as configuration and setting parame-
ters. Similarly, setting parameters can be accessed and changed if needed.
In addition, control of circuit breakers and other equipment is possible from the front panel of the device.
Interfaces
Communication with a PC can be implemented via the USB DIGSI interface using the DIGSI software, allowing
all device functions to be easily executed.
Communication with a PC is also possible via port A (Ethernet interface) and port B (System/Service interface)
using DIGSI.
In addition to the device communication via DIGSI, port B can also be used to transmit all device data to a
central evaluator or a control center. This interface may be provided with various protocols and physical trans-
mission schemes to suit the particular application.
Power Supply
A power supply unit (Vaux or PS) delivers power to the functional units using the different voltage levels.
Voltage dips may occur if the voltage supply system (substation battery) becomes short-circuited. Usually,
they are bridged by a capacitor (see also Technical Data).
A buffer battery is located under the flap at the lower end of the front cover.
Protection Functions
Multilevel voltage and frequency protection is the basic function of the device.
Further protection functions included are load restoration, synchrocheck, overexcitation protection, vector
jump and flexible protective functions.
Control Functions
The device provides a control function which can be accomplished for activating and deactivating the switch-
gear via operator buttons, port B, binary inputs and - using a PC and the DIGSI software - via the front inter-
face.
The status of the primary equipment can be transmitted to the device via auxiliary contacts connected to
binary inputs. The present status (or position) of the primary equipment can be displayed on the device, and
used for interlocking or alarm condition monitoring. The number of operating equipments to be switched is
limited by the binary inputs and outputs available in the device or the binary inputs and outputs allocated for
the switch position indications. Depending on the primary equipment being controlled, 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 pass-
word request).
Processing of interlocking conditions for switching (e.g. switchgear interlocking) can be established with the
aid of integrated, user-configurable logic functions.
Communication
The following interfaces are available for communication with external operating, control and memory
systems.
The USB DIGSI interface on the front cover serves for local communication with a PC. By means of the
SIPROTEC 4 operating software DIGSI, all operational and evaluation tasks can be executed via this operator
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 meas-
ured values, issuing control commands.
Depending on the ordered variant, additional interfaces are located at the bottom of the device. They serve for
establishing extensive communication with other digital operating, control and memory components:
Port A serves for DIGSI communication directly on the device or via network.
Port B serves for central communication between the device and a control center. It can be operated via data
lines or fiber optic cables. For the data transfer, there are standard protocols in accordance with IEC 60870-5-
103 available. The integration of the devices into the SINAUT LSA and SICAM automation systems can also be
implemented with this profile.
Alternatively, additional connection options are available with PROFIBUS DP and the DNP3.0 and MODBUS
protocols. If an EN100 module is available, you can use the protocol IEC 61850.

2.1 General
The settings associated with the various device functions can be modified using the operating or service inter-
face in DIGSI in conjunction with a personal computer. Some parameters can also be changed using the
controls on the front panel of the device. The procedure is described in detail in the SIPROTEC System Descrip-
tion /1/ SIPROTEC 4 System Description.
The 7RW80 relay contains protection functions as well as auxiliary functions. The hardware and firmware is
designed for this scope of functions. Additionally, the control functions can be matched to the system require-
ments. Individual functions can be enabled or disabled during the configuration procedure. The interaction of
functions may also be modified.
NOTE
i Available functions and default settings are depending on the order variant of the relay (see A Ordering
Information and Accessories).
Special Features
Most settings are self-explanatory. The special cases are described in the following.
If you want to use the setting group change function, set address 103 Grp Chge OPTION to Enabled. In
this case, you can select up to four different groups of function parameters between which you can switch
quickly and conveniently during operation. Only one setting group can be used when selecting the option
Disabled.
The synchronization function is activated in address 161 25 Function 1 by the setting SYNCHROCHECK or it
is set to Disabled.
Under address 182 74 Trip Ct Supv it can be selected whether the trip-circuit supervision works with two
(2 Binary Inputs) or only one binary input (1 Binary Input), or whether the function is configured
Disabled.
In address 617 ServiProt (CM) you can specify for which purpose port B is used. T103 means that the
device is connected to a control and protection facility via serial port, DIGSI means that you are using the port
to connect DIGSI or you are not using port B (Disabled).
The flexible protection functions can be configured via parameter FLEXIBLE FUNC.. You can create up to 20
flexible functions by setting a checkmark in front of the desired function. If the checkmark of a function is
removed, all settings and configurations made previously will be lost. After re-selecting the function, all
settings and configurations are in default setting. Setting of the flexible function is done in DIGSI under
“Parameters”, “Additional Functions” and “Settings”. The configuration is done, as usual, under “Parameters”
and “Configuration”.
2.1.1.3 Settings
The device requires some general information. This may be, for example, the type of annunciation to be
issued in the event of an occurrence of a power system fault.
[dw_ruecksetzbefehl-fuer-n-speicher-led-lcd-meld, 1, en_US]
Figure 2-1 Creation of the reset command for the latched LED and LCD messages
Fault Messages
A new pickup of a protection function generally turns off any previously set light displays so that only the
latest fault is displayed at any one time. It can be selected whether the stored LED displays and the sponta-
neous messages on the display appear after the new pickup or only after a new trip signal is issued. In order to
select the desired mode of display, select the Device submenu in the SETTINGS menu. Under address 610
FltDisp.LED/LCD the two options Target on PU and Target on TRIP ("No trip – no flag") can be
selected.
For devices with graphic display, use parameter 611 Spont. FltDisp. to specify whether a spontaneous
fault message should appear automatically on the display (YES) or not (NO). For devices with text display such
indications will appear after a system fault in any case.
2.1.2.3 Settings
General
Some P.System Data 1 can be entered directly at the device. See Section 2.14 Notes on Device Operation
for more information regarding this topic.
In DIGSI double-click Settings to open the corresponding dialog box. In doing so, a dialog box with tabs will
open under P.System Data 1 where individual parameters can be configured. The following descriptions
are therefore structured according to these tabs.
Measured values, which due to the chosen voltage connection cannot be calculated, will be displayed as dots.
The Appendix provides some connection examples for all connection types atC Connection Examples.
[uebersetzung-spannungswandler-020313-kn, 1, en_US]
the factor Vph/VN (secondary voltage, address 206 Vph / Vdelta) must be set to 3/ √3 = √3 = 1.73 which
must be used if the VN voltage is connected. For other transformation ratios, i.e. the formation of the
displacement voltage via an interconnected transformer set, the factor must be corrected accordingly.
Please take into consideration that also the calculated secondary V0-voltage is divided by the value set in
address 206. Thus, even if the V0-voltage is not connected, address 206 has an impact on the secondary
operational measured value VN.
If Vab, Vbc, VGnd is selected as voltage connection type, parameter Vph / Vdelta is used to calculate
the phase-to-ground voltages and is therefore important for the protection function. With voltage connection
type Van, Vbn, Vcn, this parameter is used only to calculate the operational measured value of the secon-
dary voltage VN.
With single-phase voltage transformers, a direct comparison of the measured quantities with the threshold
values is carried out and the parameterization of the characteristic quantity switchover is ignored.
NOTE
i If parameter 213 VT Connect. 3ph is set to Vph-g, VSyn, the voltage measured by voltage trans-
former 1 is always used for voltage protection. Then parameters 614 and 615 are not available.
NOTE
i If parameter 213 VT Connect. 3ph is set to Vab, Vbc, VSyn or Vab, Vbc or Vab, Vbc, Vx, the
setting option Vph-n for parameter 614 and 615 is not available.

The Multifunctional Protection with Control 7RW80 is equipped with a fault record memory. The instanta-
neous values of the measured values
vA, vB, vC, vA2, vB3, vC1, vN, vX, vph-n, vSYN
(voltages depending on connection) are sampled at intervals of 1.0 ms (at 50 Hz) and stored in a revolving
buffer (20 samples per cycle). In the event of a fault, the data are recorded for a set period of time, but not for
more than 5 seconds. A maximum of 8 faults can be recorded in this buffer. The fault record memory is auto-
matically updated with every new fault, so no acknowledgment for previously recorded faults is required. In
addition to protection pickup, the recording of the fault data can also be started via a binary input or via the
serial interface.
The data of a fault event can be read out via the device interface and evaluated with the help of the SIGRA 4
graphic analysis software. SIGRA 4 graphically represents the data recorded during the fault event and also
calculates additional information from the measured values. Currents and voltages can be presented either as
primary or as secondary values. Signals are additionally recorded as binary tracks (marks), e.g. "pickup", "trip".
If port B of the device has been configured correspondingly, the fault record data can be imported by a central
controller via this interface and evaluated. Currents and voltages are prepared for a graphic representation.
Signals are additionally recorded as binary tracks (marks), e.g. "pickup", "trip".
The retrieval of the fault data by the central controller takes place automatically either after each protection
pickup or after a tipping.
Depending on the selected type of connection of the voltage transformers (address 213 VT Connect. 3ph),
the following measured values are recorded in the fault record:

Configuration
Fault recording (waveform capture) will only take place if address 104 OSC. FAULT REC. is set to Enabled.
Other settings pertaining to fault recording (waveform capture) are found in the Osc. Fault Rec.
submenu of the SETTINGS menu. Waveform capture makes a distinction between the trigger instant for an
oscillographic record and the criterion to save the record (address 401 WAVEFORMTRIGGER). Normally, the
trigger is the pickup of a protection element, i.e. the time 0 is defined as the instant the first protection func-
tion picks up. The criterion for saving may be both the device pickup (Save w. Pickup) or the device trip
(Save w. TRIP). A trip command issued by the device can also be used as trigger instant (Start w.
TRIP), in this case it is also the saving criterion.
A fault event starts with the pickup by any protection function and ends when the last pickup of a protection
function has dropped out. Usually this is also the extent of a fault recording (address 402 WAVEFORM DATA =
Fault event). If automatic reclosing is performed by external equipments, the entire system fault — with
several reclosing attempts if necessary — can be recorded until the fault has been cleared for good (address
402 WAVEFORM DATA = Pow.Sys.Flt.). This facilitates the representation of the entire system fault history,
but also consumes storage capacity during the automatic reclosing dead time(s).
The actual storage time begins at the pre-fault time PRE. TRIG. TIME (address 404) ahead of the reference
instant, and ends at the post-fault time POST REC. TIME (address 405) after the storage criterion has reset.
The maximum storage duration of each fault record (MAX. LENGTH) is entered at address 403. Recording per
fault must not exceed 5 seconds. In maximum 8 records can be saved altogether with a maximum total time
of 20 s 18 s .
An oscillographic record can be triggered by a status change of a binary input, or from a PC via the operator
interface. Storage is then triggered dynamically. The length of the fault recording is set in address 406 BinIn
CAPT.TIME (but not longer than MAX. LENGTH, address 403). Pre-fault and post-fault times will add to this.
If the binary input time is set to ∞, the length of the record equals the time that the binary input is activated
(static), but not longer than the MAX. LENGTH (address 403).
2.1.4.3 Settings
Up to four different setting groups can be created for establishing the device's function settings.
General
If setting group change option is not required, Group A is the default selection. Then, the rest of this section is
not applicable.
If the changeover option is desired, group changeover must be set to Grp Chge OPTION = Enabled
(address 103) when the function extent is configured. For the setting of the function parameters, each of the
required setting groups A to D (a maximum of 4) must be configured in sequence. The SIPROTEC 4 System
Description gives further information on how to copy setting groups or reset them to their status at delivery
and also how to change from one setting group to another.
Section 3.1 Mounting and Connections of this manual tells you how to change between several setting groups
externally via binary inputs.
2.1.5.3 Settings
Applications
When the primary reference voltage and the primary reference current of the protected object are set, the
device is able to calculate and output the operational measured value percentage.
2.1.6.3 Settings
2.1.7 EN100-Module
Interface Selection
No special settings are required for operating the Ethernet system interface module (IEC 1850, Ethernet
EN100-Modul). If the ordered version of the device is equipped with such a module, it is automatically allo-
cated to the interface available for it, namely Port B.
Applications
• Abnormally high voltages often occur e.g. in low loaded, long distance transmission lines, in islanded
systems when generator voltage regulation fails, or after full load rejection of a generator from the
system.
• The undervoltage protection function detects voltage collapses on transmission lines and electrical
machines and prevents inadmissible operating states and a possible loss of stability.
Connection/Measured Values
The voltages supplied to the device may correspond to the three phase-to-ground voltages VA-N, VB-N, VC-N or
the two phase-to-phase voltages (VA-B, VB-C) and the displacement voltage (ground voltage VN) or - in the case
of a single-phase connection - any phase-to-ground voltage. The connection type has been specified during
the configuration in parameter 213 VT Connect. 3ph (see Section 2.1.3.2 Setting Notes).
The following table indicates which voltages can be evaluated by the function. The settings for this are made
in the P.System Data 1 (see Section 2.1.3.2 Setting Notes). Furthermore, it is indicated to which value the
threshold must be set. All voltages are fundamental frequency values.
The positive and negative sequence voltages stated in the table are calculated from the phase-to-ground
voltages.
Function
The overvoltage protection includes three elements (59-1 PICKUP, 59-2 PICKUP, 59 Vp>). In case of a
high overvoltage, the switchoff is performed with a short-time delay, whereas in case of lower overvoltages,
the switchoff is performed with a longer time delay. When an adjustable setting is exceeded, the 59 element
picks up, and after an adjustable time delay elapses, initiates a trip signal. The time delay is not dependent on
the magnitude of the overvoltage.
Additionally the element 59 Vp> allows the definition of a user defined tripping curve with 20 value pairs
(voltage/ time). Parameterization is done via DIGSI.
For both over-voltage elements 59-1 PICKUP, 59-2 PICKUP the dropout ratio (= Vdropout/Vpickup) can be
parameterized.
A parameter is set to specify, whether the measured values of all phases or only phases with the highest value
for monitoring are being used.
The following figure shows the logic diagram of the overvoltage protection function.
[7rw80-ueberspgs-schutz-20100716, 1, en_US]
Funktion
Undervoltage protection consists of three elements (27-1 PICKUP, 27-2 PICKUP, 27 Vp<). Therefore, trip-
ping can be time-graded depending on how severe voltage collapses are. Voltage thresholds and time delays
can be set individually for both elements 27-1 PICKUP and 27-2 PICKUP.
Additionally the element27 Vp< allows the definition of a user defined tripping curve with 20 value pairs
(voltage/ time). Parameterization is done via DIGSI.
For both under-voltage elements 27-1 PICKUP and 27-2 PICKUP the dropout ratio (= Vdropout/Vpickup) can be
parameterized.
A parameter is set to specify, whether the measured values of all phases or only phases with the lowest value
for monitoring are being used.
The undervoltage protection works in an additional frequency range. This ensures that the protective function
is preserved even when it is applied e.g. as motor protection in context with decelerating motors. However,
the r.m.s. value of the positive-sequence voltage component is considered too small when severe frequency
deviations exist. This function therefore exhibits an overfunction.
Figure 2-3 shows a typical voltage profile during a fault for source side connection of the voltage trans-
formers. After the voltage has decreased below the pickup setting, tripping is initiated after time delay 27-1
DELAY. As long as the voltage remains below the drop out setting, reclosing is blocked. Only after the fault
has been cleared, i.e. when the voltage increases above the drop out level, the element drops out and allows
reclosing of the circuit breaker.

The following Figure shows the logic diagram of the undervoltage protection function.
[7rw80-unterspgs-schutz-20100525, 1, en_US]
General
Voltage protection is only in effect and accessible if address 150 27/59 is set to Enabled during configura-
tion of protective functions. If the function is not required Disabled is set.
The voltage to be evaluated is selected in Power System Data 1 (see Chapter 2.2 Voltage Protection 27, 59,
Table 2-2).
Overvoltage protection can be turned ON or OFF or set to Alarm Only at address 5001 FCT 59.
Undervoltage protection can be turned ON or OFF or set to Alarm Only at address 5101 FCT 27.
With the protection function ON tripping, fault record and fault recording will occur when limit values were
exceeded and after time delays expired.
When setting Alarm Only no trip command is given, no fault is recorded and no spontaneous fault annunci-
ation is shown on the display.
For over-voltage and under-voltage protection user-defined curves with 20 value pairs (voltage/time) may be
configured. Usage of a curve has to be activated at address 5035 Pickup - Time for the element 59 Vp>
and at address 5133 Pickup - Time for the element 27 Vp<.
The time delays of the overvoltage elements are entered at addresses 5004 59-1 DELAY and 5007 59-2
DELAY, and should be selected in such manner that they make allowance for brief voltage peaks that are
generated during switching operations and also enable clearance of stationary overvoltages in due time.
NOTE
i If a setting is selected such that the dropout threshold (= pickup threshold · dropout ratio) results in a
greater value than 130 V/225 V, it will be limited automatically. No error message occurs.

Applications
• Decrease in system frequency occurs when the system experiences an increase in the real power
demand, or when a malfunction occurs with a generator governor or automatic generation control (AGC)
system. The frequency protection function is also used for generators which (for a certain time) operate
to an island network. This is due to the fact that the reverse power protection cannot operate in case of a
drive power failure. The generator can be disconnected from the power system by means of the
frequency decrease protection.
• Increase in system frequency occurs e.g. when large blocks of load (island network) are removed from
the system, or again when a malfunction occurs with a generator governor. This entails risk of self-excita-
tion for generators feeding long lines under no-load conditions.
Detection of Frequency
The frequency is detected preferably from the positive sequence voltage. If this voltage is too low, the phase-
to-phase voltage VA-B at the device is used. If the amplitude of this voltage is too small, one of the other phase-
to-phase voltages is used instead.
Through the use of filters and repeated measurements, the frequency evaluation is free from harmonic influ-
ences and very accurate.
Overfrequency/Underfrequency
Frequency protection consists of four frequency elements. To make protection flexible for different power
system conditions, theses elements can be used alternatively for frequency decrease or increase separately,
and can be independently set to perform different control functions.
Operating Range
The frequency can be determined as long as in a three-phase voltage transformer connection the positive-
sequence system of the voltages, or alternatively, in a single-phase voltage transformer connection, the
respective voltage is present and of sufficient magnitude. If the measured voltage drops below a settable
value Vmin, the frequency protection is blocked because no precise frequency values can be calculated from
the signal.
[dw_7sj6x_frequenzschutz, 1, en_US]
General
Frequency protection is only in effect and accessible if address 154 81 O/U is set to Enabled during configu-
ration of protective functions. If the function is not required Disabled is set. The function can be turned ON
or OFF under address 5401 FCT 81 O/U.
By setting the parameters 5421 to 5424, the function of each of the elements 81-1 PICKUP to 81-4
PICKUP is set individually as overfrequency or underfrequency protection or set to OFF, if the element is not
required.
Minimum Voltage
Address 5402 Vmin is used to set the minimum voltage. Frequency protection is blocked as soon as the
minimum voltage is undershot.
The threshold value has to be set as phase-to-phase quantity if the connection is three-phase. With a single-
phase phase-to-ground connection the threshold is set as phase voltage.
Pickup Values
The setting as overfrequency or underfrequency element does not depend on the parameter threshold values
of the respective element. An element can also function, for example, as an overfrequency element if its
threshold value is set below the nominal frequency and vice versa.
If frequency protection is used for load shedding purposes, the setting values depend on the actual power
system conditions. Normally, a time coordinated load shedding is required that takes into account the impor-
tance of the consumers or consumer groups.
Further application examples exist in the field of power stations. Here too, the frequency values to be set
mainly depend on the specifications of the power system / power station operator. The underfrequency
protection safeguards the power station's own demand by disconnecting it from the power system on time.
The turbo governor regulates the machine set to the nominal speed. Consequently, the station's own
demands can be continuously supplied at nominal frequency.
Under the assumption that the apparent power is reduced by the same degree, turbine-driven generators can,
as a rule, be continuously operated down to 95% of the nominal frequency. However, for inductive
consumers, the frequency reduction not only means an increased current input, but also endangers stable
operation. For this reason, only a short-term frequency reduction down to about 48 Hz (for fN = 50 Hz) or 58
Hz (for fN = 60 Hz) is permissible.
A frequency increase can, for example, occur due to a load shedding or malfunction of the speed regulation
(e.g. in an island network). In this way, the frequency increase protection can, for example, be used as over-
speed protection.
Dropout Thresholds
The dropout threshold is defined via the adjustable dropout-difference address 5415 DO differential. It
can thus be adjusted to the network conditions. The dropout difference is the absolute-value difference
between pickup threshold and dropout threshold. The default value of 0.02 Hz can usually remain. Should,
however, frequent minor frequency fluctuations be expected, this value should be increased.
Time Delays
The delay times 81-1 DELAY to 81-4 DELAY (addresses 5405, 5408, 5411 and 5414) allow the frequency
elements to be time coordinated, e.g. for load shedding equipment. The set times are additional delay times
not including the operating times (measuring time, dropout time) of the protection function.

General
The load restoration function has 4 independently adjustable load restoration elements. Elements of the load
restoration are switched on or off separately by parameters. Every element can be assigned up to 4 underfre-
quency elements, which start the load restoration when tripped.
The process can be canceled via the binary input >LR Block.
The binary input >LR Break breaks the load restoration process.
The binary input >LR Reset resets external blocking or a blocked monitoring.
Started elements are processed in descending order. The highest number element connects first. You may find
an example in the instructions manual.
The Load Restoration can be applied across several 7RW80 devices. The Load Restoration across several
devices can be coordinated using the CFC. The procedure is described in the instructions manual.
The following figure gives an overview of the load restoration's functionality.
[7rw80-uebersicht-20100525, 1, en_US]
Procedure
The start of a load restoration element is triggered by the tripping of the associated underfrequency element.
Processing will terminate, if the restoration signal for the circuit breaker is issued or the function has been
blocked. If the underfrequency trips again during the output of the restoration signal, the load restoration
element will restart.
The following figure shows the interaction of underfrequency protection and load restoration.
[7rw80-start-20100525, 1, en_US]
You can adjust the trip- and dropout time for every load restoration element. Furthermore, you can adjust the
pickup- and dropout time as a difference to the starting frequency, which together form the threshold of the
load restoration. The frequency must reach this threshold value of the set trip time, before the restoration
signal for the circuit breaker is issued. If the frequency drops below the the set pickup threshold value during
the set dropout time, the time for the pickup will be halted. If the frequency drops to a value below the
dropout threshold value, pickup and dropout time will be reset. This takes into account that the frequency is
not restored monotonously, but rather is subject to intermittent fluctuations.
The following figure shows the interaction of thresholds and timers.
[7rw80-prozess-20100525, 1, en_US]
[7rw80-block-monitor-20100508, 1, en_US]
After the monitoring time of the restoration cycle has elapsed, the success of the load restoration will be eval-
uated.
Success basically depends on the following criteria:
• The load restoration is not blocked, e.g. by another protective function, binary input, undervoltage,
monitoring
• The monitoring time of restoration cycles of every started load restoration elements has elapsed
[7rw80-monitor-log-bsp-20100525, 1, en_US]
General
The load restoration is active, if Load Restore = Enabled has been set at address 155 during configuration.
If the function is not required Disabled is set.
The various elements of the load restoration are configured ON or OFF at addresses 5520, 5540, 5560 and
5580.
[7rw80-beispiel-20100525, 1, en_US]
In the above example the frequency initially drops below the pickup threshold of the underfrequency element
81-1. The element 81-1 trips.
Because of the configured settings (see Table 2-3) load restoration element LR1 is started with the tripping of
81-1. LR1 is at this point the only running/started element and is therefore processed immediately.
Afterwards the network frequency drops below the pickup threshold of the underfrequency element 81-2.
Element 81-2 trips as well and initiates load restoration elements LR2 and LR3.
LR3 has at that point the highest number of all load restoration elements and is processed immediately. The
processing of element LR1 is interrupted.
When the pickup frequency of 49.5 Hz is reached, load restoration element LR3 picks up. Once the frequency
remains above the threshold during the pickup time of LR3, LR3 issues the CB Close command.
The pickup of the next restoration element LR2 will be processed immediately after the LR3 restoration CB
Close signal.
During the pickup time of LR2 the network frequency drops briefly below the pickup threshold, but not below
the dropout threshold of LR2. This stops the pickup of load restoration element LR2, but does not reset this
procedure in the dropout delay time. When the frequency reaches the pickup threshold of LR2 (49.5 Hz)
again, the pickup time of LR2 will be continued.
When pickup time has expired, the element LR2 initiates the load restoration.
Subsequently the pickup of load restoration LR1 is processed. When the pickup frequency of LR1 (49.75 Hz) is
reached, LR1 picks up. LR1 initiates the restoration when pickup time has expired.
When the monitoring time has expired (address 5501 LR t Monitor), the message 17335 LR
Successful is displayed (not shown in the figure).
Monitoring
At address 5501 LR t Monitor you may configure the monitoring time of the load restoration cycles.
At address 5502 LR Max. Cycles you may configure the maximum number of restoration cycles of the load
restoration.

NOTE
2.4.3 Settings
2.5.1.1 General
The device monitoring extends from the measuring inputs to the binary outputs. Monitoring checks the hard-
ware for malfunctions and abnormal conditions.
Hardware and software monitoring described in the following are enabled continuously. Settings (including
the possibility to activate and deactivate the monitoring function) refer to the monitoring of external trans-
former circuits.
Buffer Battery
The buffer battery, which ensures operation of the internal clock and storage of counters and messages if the
auxiliary voltage fails, is periodically checked for charge status. If it is less than an allowed minimum voltage,
then the Fail Battery message is issued.
Memory Components
All working memories (RAMs) are checked during startup. If a malfunction occurs then, the starting sequence
is interrupted and an LED blinks. During operation the memories are checked with the help of their checksum.
For the program memory, the cross sum is formed cyclically and compared to the stored program cross sum.
For the settings memory, the cross sum is formed cyclically and compared to the cross sum that is freshly
generated each time a setting process takes place.
If a fault occurs the processor system is restarted.
Scanning
Scanning and the synchronization between the internal buffer components are constantly monitored. If any
deviations cannot be removed by renewed synchronization, then the processor system is restarted.
AD Transformer Monitoring
The digitized sampled values are being monitored in respect of their plausibility. If the result is not plausible,
message 181 Error A/D-conv. is issued. The protection is blocked, thus preventing unwanted operation.
Furthermore, a fault record is generated for recording of the internal fault.
Watchdog
For continuous monitoring of the program sequences, a time monitor is provided in the hardware (hardware
watchdog) that expires upon failure of the processor or an internal program, and causes a complete restart of
the processor system.
An additional software watchdog ensures that malfunctions during the processing of programs are discov-
ered. This also initiates a restart of the processor system.
If such a malfunction is not cleared by the restart, an additional restart attempt is begun. After three unsuc-
cessful restarts within a 30 second window of time, the device automatically removes itself from service and
the red “Error” LED lights up. The readiness relay drops out and indicates „device malfunction“ with its normally
closed contact.
Offset Monitoring
This monitoring function checks all ring buffer data channels for corrupt offset replication of the analog/digital
transformers and the analog input paths using offset filters. Possible offset errors are detected using DC filters,
and the associated sampled values are corrected up to a specific limit. If this limit is exceeded, an indication is
generated (191 Error Offset) and integrated into the warning group indication (160). As increased offset
values impair the measurements, we recommend sending the device to the OEM plant for corrective action
should this indication persist.
The Offset monitoring can be blocked via the binary input signal >Blk.offset s. (No. 17565).
Voltage Symmetry
During normal system operation, balance among the voltages is expected. Since the phase-to-phase voltages
are insensitive to ground faults, the phase-to-phase voltages are used for balance monitoring. If the device is
connected to the phase-to-ground voltages, then the phase-to-phase voltages are calculated accordingly,
whereas, if the device is connected to phase-to-phase voltages and the displacement voltage V0, then the third
phase-to-phase voltage is calculated accordingly. From the phase-to-phase voltages, the device generates the
rectified average values and checks the balance of their absolute values. The smallest phase voltage is
compared with the largest phase voltage.
Asymmetry is recognized if
| Vmin | / | Vmax | < BAL. FACTOR V as long as | Vmax | > BALANCE V-LIMIT. Where Vmax is the highest of the
three voltages and Vmin the smallest. The symmetry factor BAL. FACTOR V (address 8103) represents the
allowable asymmetry of the conductor voltages while the limit value BALANCE V-LIMIT (address 8102) is
the lower limit of the operating range of this monitoring (see Figure 2-70). Both parameters can be set. The
dropout ratio is about 97%.
This fault is signalled after settable delay time with Fail V balance.
[dw_spannungssymmetrieueberwachung, 1, en_US]
Requirements
The measurement of all three phase-to-ground voltages is a requirement for the functionality. If only two
phaseto- phase voltages were measured, it would not be possible to evaluate two of the required criteria.
Task
The “Broken Wire” monitoring function monitors the voltage transformer circuits of the secondary system with
regard to failure. One distinguishes between single-phase and two-phase failures.
[7rw80-broken-wire-20100716, 1, en_US]
2.5.1.7 Settings
Devices 7RW80 are equipped with an integrated trip circuit supervision. Depending on the number of available
binary inputs (not connected to a common potential), supervision with one or two binary inputs can be
selected. If the allocation of the required binary inputs does not match the selected supervision type, then a
message to this effect is generated (74TC ProgFail).
Applications
• When using two binary inputs, malfunctions in the trip circuit can be detected under all circuit breaker
conditions.
• When only one binary input is used, malfunctions in the circuit breaker itself cannot be detected.
Prerequisites
A requirement for the use of trip circuit supervision is that the control voltage for the circuit breaker is at least
twice the voltage drop across the binary input (Vct > 2 · VBImin).
Since at least 19 V are needed for the binary input, the supervision can only be used with a system control
voltage of over 38 V.
[dw_prinzip-ausloesekreisueberwachung-2-binein, 1, en_US]
Figure 2-15 Principle of the trip circuit supervision with two binary inputs
Supervision with two binary inputs not only detects interruptions in the trip circuit and loss of control voltage,
it also supervises the response of the circuit breaker using the position of the circuit breaker auxiliary contacts.
Depending on the conditions of the trip contact and the circuit breaker, the binary inputs are activated (logical
condition "H" in Table 2-4), or not activated (logical condition "L").
In healthy trip circuits the condition that both binary inputs are not actuated (”L") is only possible during a
short transition period (trip contact is closed but the circuit breaker has not yet opened). A continuous state of
this condition is only possible when the trip circuit has been interrupted, a short-circuit exists in the trip circuit,
a loss of battery voltage occurs, or malfunctions occur with the circuit breaker mechanism. Therefore, it is
used as supervision criterion.
Table 2-4 Condition table for binary inputs, depending on RTC and CB position
The conditions of the two binary inputs are checked periodically. A check takes place about every 600 ms. If
three consecutive conditional checks detect an abnormality (after 1.8 s), an annunciation is reported (see
Figure 2-16). The repeated measurements determine the delay of the alarm message and avoid that an alarm
is output during short transition periods. After the malfunction in the trip circuit is cleared, the fault annuncia-
tion is reset automatically after the same time period.

Figure 2-16 Logic diagram of the trip circuit supervision with two binary inputs
[dw_prinzip-ausloesekreisueberwachung-1-binein, 1, en_US]
During normal operation, the binary input is activated (logical condition "H") when the trip contact is open and
the trip circuit is intact, because the monitoring circuit is closed by either the 52a circuit breaker auxiliary
contact (if the circuit breaker is closed) or through the bypass resistor R by the 52b circuit breaker auxiliary
contact. Only as long as the trip contact is closed, the binary input is short circuited and thereby deactivated
(logical condition "L").
If the binary input is continuously deactivated during operation, this leads to the conclusion that there is an
interruption in the trip circuit or loss of control voltage.
As the trip circuit supervision does not operate during system faults, the closed trip contact does not lead to a
fault message. If, however, tripping contacts from other devices operate in parallel with the trip circuit, then
the fault message must be delayed (see also Figure 2-18). The delay time can be set via parameter 8202
Alarm Delay. A message is only released after expiry of this time. After clearance of the fault in the trip
circuit, the fault message is automatically reset.
[dw_7sj6x_ausloesekreis_1_binaerein, 1, en_US]
Figure 2-18 Logic diagram of trip circuit supervision with one binary input
The following figure shows the logic diagram for the message that can be generated by the trip circuit
monitor, depending on the control settings and binary inputs.
[dw_7sj6x_ausloesekreis_meldelogik, 1, en_US]
General
The function is only effective and accessible if address 182 (Section 2.1.1.2 Setting Notes) was set to either 2
Binary Inputs or 1 Binary Input during configuration, the appropriate number of binary inputs has
been configured accordingly for this purpose and the function FCT 74TC is ON at address 8201. If the alloca-
tion of the required binary inputs does not match the selected supervision type, a message to this effect is
generated (74TC ProgFail). If the trip circuit monitor is not to be used at all, then Disabled is set at
address 182.
In order to ensure that the longest possible duration of a trip command can be reliably bridged, and an indica-
tion is generated in case of an actual fault in the trip circuit, the indication regarding a trip circuit interruption
is delayed. The time delay is set under address 8202 Alarm Delay.
2.5.2.3 Settings
Malfunction Responses
Depending on the type of malfunction discovered, an annunciation is sent, a restart of the processor system is
initiated, or the device is taken out of service. After three unsuccessful restart attempts, the device is taken out
of service. The operational readiness NC contact operates to indicate the device is malfunctioning. Also, the
red LED ”ERROR" lights up on the front cover, if the internal auxiliary voltage is present, and the green ”RUN"
LED goes out. If the internal auxiliary voltage fails, all LEDs are dark. Table 2-5 provides a summary of the
monitoring functions and the malfunction responses of the relay.
Group Alarms
Certain messages of the monitoring functions are already combined to group alarms. A listing of the group
alarms and their composition is given in the Appendix E.4 Group Indications. In this case, it must be noted that
message 160 Alarm Sum Event is only issued when the measured value monitoring functions (8101
MEASURE. SUPERV) are activated.
General
The function is a combination of a standard protection logic and a characteristic (measured quantity or derived
quantity) that is adjustable via parameters. The characteristics listed in table 2-20 and the derived protection
functions are available.
The maximum 20 configurable protection functions operate independently of each other. The following
description concerns one function; it can be applied accordingly to all other flexible functions. The logic
diagram Figure 2-20 illustrates the description.
Functional Logic
The function can be switched OFF and ON or, it can be set to Alarm Only. In this status, a pickup condition
will neither initiate fault recording nor start the trip time delay. Tripping is thus not possible.
Changing the Power System Data 1 after flexible functions have been configured may cause these functions to
be set incorrectly. Message (FNo.235.2128 $00 inval.set) reports this condition. The function is inactive
in this case and function's setting has to be modified.
Blocking Functions
The function can be blocked via binary input (FNo. 235.2110 >BLOCK $00) or via local operating terminal
(“Control”->“Tagging”->“Set”). Blocking will reset the function's entire measurement logic as well as all running
times and indications. Blocking via the local operating terminal may be useful if the function is in a status of
permanent pickup which does not allow the function to be reset.
In context with voltage-based characteristics, the function can be blocked if one of the measuring voltages
fails. Recognition of this status is via auxiliary contacts of the voltage transformer CB (FNo. 6509
>FAIL:FEEDER VT and FNo. 6510 >FAIL: BUS VT). This blocking mechanism can be enabled or disabled
in the according parameters. The associated parameter BLK.by Vol.Loss is only available if the character-
istic is based on a voltage measurement.
When using the flexible function for power protection or power monitoring, it will be blocked if currents fall
below 0.03 · ΙNom.
Characteristic Curve
The function's characteristic curve is always “definite time”; this means that the time delay is not affected by
the measured quantity.
Function Logic
The following figure shows the logic diagram of a three-phase function. If the function operates on one phase
or without phase reference, phase selectivity and phase-specific indications are not relevant.
[7rw80-flex-fkt-210100716, 1, en_US]
The parameters can be set to monitor either exceeding or dropping below of the threshold. The configurable
pickup time delay will be started once the threshold (>-element) has been exceeded. When the time delay has
elapsed and the threshold is still violated, the pickup of the phase (e.g. no. 235.2122 $00 pickup A)and of
the function (no. 235.2121 $00 picked up) is reported. If the pickup delay is set to zero, the pickup will
occur simultaneously with the detection of the threshold violation. If the function is enabled, the pickup will
start the trip time delay and the fault log. This is not the case if set to "Alarm only". If the threshold violation
persists after the trip time delay has elapsed, the trip will be initiated upon its expiration (no. 235.2126 $00
TRIP). The timeout is reported via (no. 235.2125 $00 Time Out). Expiry of the trip time delay can be
blocked via binary input (no. 235.2113 >$00 BLK.TDly). The time delay will not be started as long as the
binary input is active; a trip can thus be initiated. The time delay is started after the binary input has dropped
out and the pickup is still present. It is also possible to bypass the expiration of the time delay by activating
binary input (no. 235.2111 >$00 instant.). The trip will be launched immediately when the pickup is
present and the binary input has been activated. The trip command can be blocked via binary inputs (no.
235.2115 >$00 BL.TripA) and (no. 235.2114 >$00 BLK.TRIP). The phase-selective blocking of the trip
command is required for interaction with the inrush restraint (see “Interaction with other functions”). The
function's dropout ratio can be set. If the threshold (>-element) is undershot after the pickup, the dropout
time delay will be started. The pickup is maintained during that time, a started trip delay time continues to
count down. If the trip time delay has elapsed while the dropout time delay is still during, the trip command
will only be given if the current threshold is exceeded. The element will only drop out when the dropout time
delay has elapsed. If the time is set to zero, the dropout will be initiated immediately once the threshold is
undershot.
The setting of the functional scope determines the number of flexible protection functions to be used (see
Section 2.1.1 Functional Scope). If a flexible function in the functional scope is disabled (by removing the
checkmark), this will result in losing all settings and configurations of this function or its settings will be reset
to their default settings.
General
In the DIGSI setting dialog “General”, parameter FLEXIBLE FUNC. can be set to OFF, ON or Alarm Only. If
the function is enabled in operational mode Alarm Only, no faults are recorded, no “Effective”indication is
generated, no trip command issued and neither will the circuit-breaker protection be affected. Therefore, this
operational mode is preferred when a flexible function is not required to operate as a protection function.
Furthermore, the OPERRAT. MODE can be configured:
3-phase – functions evaluate the three-phase measuring system, i.e. all three phases are processed simultane-
ously.
1-phase functions evaluate only the individual measured value. This can be an individual phase value (e.g VB)
or Vx or a ground variable (VN).
Setting no reference determines the evaluation of measured variables irrespective of a single or threep-
hase connection of voltage. Table 2-6 provides an overview regarding which variables can be used in which
mode of operation.
Measured Quantity
In the setting dialog “Measured Variable” the measured variables to be evaluated by the flexible protection
functions can be selected, which may be a calculated or a directly measured variable. The setting options that
can be selected here are dependant on the mode of measured-value processing as predefined in parameter
OPERRAT. MODE (see the following table).
Measurement Process
The following table lists configurable measurement procedures depending on parameterized measured quan-
tities.
Table 2-8 Parameter in the Setting Dialog "Measurement Procedure", Mode of Operation 3-phase
NOTE
i With regard to the phase-selective pickup messages, a special behavior is observed in the three-phase
voltage protection with phase-to-phase variables, because the phase-selective pickup message "Flx01
Pickup Lx" is allocated to the respective measured-value channel "Lx".
Single-phase faults:
If, for example, voltage VA drops to such degree that voltages VAB and VA exceed their threshold values, the
device indicates pickups “Flx01 Pickup A” and “Flx01 Pickup C”, because the undershooting was detected in
the first and third measured-value channel.
Two-phase faults:
If, for example, voltage VAB drops to such degree that its threshold value is reached, the device then indi-
cates pickup "Flx01 Pickup A", because the undershooting was detected in the first measured-value
channel.
Table 2-9 Parameter in the Setting Dialog "Measurement Procedure", Mode of Operation 1-phase
Settings
The pickup thresholds, delay times and dropout ratios of the flexible protection function are set in the
“Settings” dialog box in DIGSI.
The pickup threshold of the function is configured via parameter P.U. THRESHOLD. The TRIP-command delay
time is set via parameter T TRIP DELAY. Both setting values must be selected according to the required
application.
The pickup can be delayed via parameter T PICKUP DELAY. This parameter is usually set to zero (default
setting) in protection applications, because a protection function should pick up as quickly as possible. A
setting deviating from zero may be appropriate if a trip log is not desired to be started upon each short-term
exceeding of the pickup threshold, for example, when a function is not used as a protection, but as a moni-
toring function.
The dropout of pickup can be delayed via parameter T DROPOUT DELAY. This setting is also set to zero by
default (standard setting) A setting deviating from zero may be required if the device is utilized together with
electro-magnetic devices with considerably longer dropout ratios than the digital protection device. When
utilizing the dropout time delay, it is recommended to set it to a shorter time than the OFF-command delay
time in order to avoid both times to “race”.
Parameter BLK.by Vol.Loss determines whether a function, with measured variable based on a voltage
measurement (measured variables voltage), should be blocked in case of a measured voltage failure/loss of
potential (set to YES) or not (set to NO).
The dropout ratio for the function can be set via the parameter DROPOUT RATIO. The standard dropout ratio
of protection functions is 0.95 (default setting). If the dropout ratio is decreased, it would be sensible to test
the pickup of the function regarding possible “chatter”.
The dropout difference of the frequency elements is set under parameter DO differential. Usually, the
default setting of 0.02 Hz can be retained. A higher dropout difference should be set in weak systems with
larger, short-term frequency fluctuations to avoid chattering of the message.
The frequency change measured value (df/dt) works with a fixed dropout difference of 0.1 Hz/s.
The same applies to the voltage change (dU/dt) measurand. The permanent dropout difference here is 3 V/s.
• Check configurations on contacts and in operation and fault buffer, or set them according to the require-
ments.

2.7 Synchrocheck
When connecting two sections of a power system, the synchrocheck function verifies that the switching does
not endanger the stability of the power system
Applications
• Typical applications are, for example, the synchronization of a feeder and a busbar or the synchronization
of two busbars via tie-breaker.
2.7.1 Allgemeines
Synchronous power systems exhibit small differences regarding frequency and voltage values. Before connec-
tion it is to be checked whether the conditions are synchronous or not. If the conditions are synchronous, the
system is energized; if they are asynchronous, it is not. The circuit breaker operating time is not taken into
consideration. The synchrocheck function is activated via address 161 SYNCHROCHECK.
For comparing the two voltages of the sections of the power system to be synchronized, the synchrocheck
function uses the reference voltage V1 and an additional voltage to be connected V2.
If a transformer is connected between the two voltage transformers as shown in the following example, its
vector group can be adapted in the 7RW80 relay so that there is no external adjustment required.
[synchro-fkt-einspeis-061115, 1, en_US]
[synchro-fkt-querkuppl-061115, 1, en_US]
The synchrocheck function of the 7RW80 usually coordinates with the control function. Nevertheless, it is also
possible to employ an external automatic reclosing system. In such a case, the signal exchange between the
devices is to be accomplished via binary inputs and outputs.
The release command for closing under satisfied synchronism conditions can be deactivated via parameter
6113 25 Synchron. For special applications, the deactivated closing release can, however, be activated via a
binary input (>25 synchr.) (see “De-energized Switching”).
SYNC Error
The synchronization is not started if a voltage transformer failure (m.c.b. tripping) is communicated to the
device via the binary input 6509 >FAIL:FEEDER VT or 6510 >FAIL: BUS VT. The message 25 Sync.
Error is output. In this case, the synchronization can be controlled directly via a binary input.
In case of a protection pickup, the complete synchronization process is reset instantaneously.
Release
The synchrocheck function only operates if it receives a measurement request. This request may be issued by
the internal control function, the automatic reclosing function or externally via a binary input, e.g. from an
external automatic reclosing system.
Before a release for closing is granted, the following conditions are checked:
• Is the reference voltage V1 above the setting value Vmin but below the maximum voltage Vmax?
• Is the voltage V2 to be synchronized above the setting value Vmin, but below the maximum voltage
Vmax?
• Are the two frequencies f1 and f2 within the permissible operating range fNom ± 3 Hz?
If there is a condition which is not plausible, the message 25 Sync. Error is output and the measurement
is not started. the conditions are plausible, the measurement is started (message25-1 meas.) and the
configured release conditions are checked.
Each condition which is met is indicated explicitly (messages 25 Vdiff ok, 25 fdiff ok, 25 αdiff ok).
Conditions which are not met are also indicated explicitly, e.g. when the voltage difference (messages 25
V2>V1, 25 V2<V1), frequency difference (messages „25 f2>f1“, „25 f2<f1“) or angle difference (messages 25
α2>α1, 25 α2<α1) is outside the limit values. The precondition for these messages is that both voltages are
within the operating range of the synchrocheck function (see “Operating Range”).
If the conditions are met, the synchrocheck function issues a release signal for closing the relay (25 CloseR-
elease). This release signal is only available for the configured duration of the CLOSE command and is
processed by the device's function control as CLOSE command to the circuit breaker (see also margin heading
“Interaction with Control”). However, the message 25 Synchron is applied as long as the synchronous condi-
tions are met.
The measurement of the the synchronism conditions can be confined to the a maximum monitoring time T-
SYN. DURATION. If the conditions are not met within T-SYN. DURATION, the release is cancelled (message
25 MonTimeExc). A new synchronization can only be performed if a new measurement request is received.
Operating Range
The operating range of the synchrocheck function is defined by the configured voltage limits Vmin and Vmax
as well as the fixed frequency band fNom ± 3 Hz
If the measurement is started and one of or both voltages are outside the operating range or one of the
voltages leaves the operating range, this is indicated by corresponding messages (25 f1>>, 25 f1<<, 25
V1>>, 25 V1<<).
Measured Values
The measured values of the synchrocheck function are displayed in separate windows for primary, secondary
and percentaged measured values. The measured values are displayed and updated only while the synchro-
check function is requested.
The following is displayed:
• Value of the reference voltage V1
• Value of the voltage to be synchronized V2
Connecting two components of a power system is also possible if at least one of the components is de-ener-
gized and if the measured voltage is greater than the threshold 6106 V>. With a multi-phase connection on
the side V1, all connected voltages must have a higher value than the threshold V> so that the side V1 is
considered as being energized. With a single-phase connection, of course, only the one voltage has to exceed
the threshold value.
Besides the release under synchronous conditions, the following additional release conditions can be selected
for the check:
SYNC V1>V2< = Release on the condition that component V1 is energized and component V2 is de-
energized.
SYNC V1<V2> = Release on the condition that component V1 is de-energized and component V2 is
energized.
SYNC V1<V2< = Release on the condition that component V1 and component V2 are de-energized.
Each of these conditions can be enabled or disabled individually via parameters or binary inputs; combinations
are thus also possible (e.g. release if SYNC V1>V2< or SYNC V1<V2> are fulfilled).
For that reason synchronization with the use of the additional parameter 6113 25 Synchron (configured to
NO) can also be used for the connection of a ground electrode. In such a case, connection is only permissible
when there is no voltage on the load side.
The threshold below which a power system component is considered as being de-energized is defined by
parameter V<. If the measured voltage exceeds the threshold V>, a power system component is considered as
being energized. With a multi-phase connection on the side V1, all connected voltages must have a higher
value than the threshold V> so that the side V1 is considered as being energized. With a single-phase connec-
tion, of course, only the one voltage has to exceed the threshold value.
Before granting a release for connecting the energized component V1 and the de-energized component V2,
the following conditions are checked:
• Is the reference voltage V1 above the setting value Vmin and V> but below the maximum voltage Vmax?
• Is the voltage to be synchronized V2 below the setting value V<?
Parameter 6110 Direct CO can be set to grant a release without performing any checks. In this case,
connection is allowed immediately when initiating the synchrocheck function. It is obviously not reasonable to
combine Direct CO with other release conditions.
If the synchrocheck function fails, a direct command may be issued or not, depending on the type of failure
(also see “Plausibility Check” and “SYNC Error”).
Via the binary input >25direct CO, this release can also be granted externally.
Blocking the entire synchrocheck function is possible via the binary input >BLK 25-1. The message signaling
this condition is output via 25-1 BLOCK. With the blocking, the measurement is terminated and the entire
function is reset. A new measurement can only be performed with a new measurement request.
Via the binary input >BLK 25 CLOSE it is possible to block only the release signal for closing (25 CloseRe-
lease). When the blocking is active, measurement continues. The blocking is indicated by the message 25
CLOSE BLK. When the blocking is reset and the release conditions are still fulfilled, the release signal for
closing is issued.
With Control
Basically, the synchrocheck function interacts with the device control. The switchgear component to be
synchronized is selected via a parameter. If a CLOSE command is issued, the control takes into account that
the switchgear component requires synchronization. The control sends a measurement request (25 Measu.
req.) to the synchrocheck function which is then started. Having completed the check, the synchrocheck
function issues the release message (25 CloseRelease) to which the control responds by terminating the
switching operation either positively or negatively.
[dw_zusam-wirk-steuer-synchro-fkt, 1, en_US]
[dw_zusam-wirk-synchro-fkt-mit-ext-anst, 1, en_US]
General
The synchronization function can only operate if 25 Function 1 with SYNCHROCHECK was enabled at
address 161 during configuration of the functional scope (see Section 2.1.1.2 Setting Notes). If this function is
not required, then Disabled is set.
While setting the Power System Data 1 (see Section Voltage Connection (Power System), Page 29) the device
was already provided with data relevant for the measured values and the operating principle of the synchroni-
zation function. This concerns the following parameters:
202 Vnom PRIMARY primary nominal voltage of the voltage transformers V1 (phase-to-phase) in kV;
203 Vnom SECONDARY secondary nominal voltage of the voltage transformers V1 phase-to-phase) in V;
213 VT Connect. 3ph specifies how the voltage transformers are connected.
When using the synchronization function the setting Vab, Vbc, VSyn is used if two phase-to-phase
voltages are open delta-connected to the device. You can use any phase-to-phase voltage as the reference
voltage VSYN
Use the setting Vph-g, VSyn if only phase-to-ground voltages are available. One of these voltages is
connected to the first voltage transformer; the reference voltage VSYN is connected to the third voltage trans-
former. V1 at the first voltage transformer and V2 at the third voltage transformer must belong to the same
voltage type (VAN or VBN or VCN).
Connection examples are given under side heading “Voltage Connections” and in the Appendix C Connection
Examples).
If you have set Vab, Vbc, VSyn or Vph-g, VSyn, the zero sequence voltage can not be determined.
Table 2-1 in Section Voltage Connection (Power System), Page 29 provides information about the conse-
quences of the different voltage connection types.
The operating range of the synchronization function (fNom ± 3 Hz) refers to the nominal frequency of the
power system, address 214 Rated Frequency.
The corresponding messages of the SYNC function group are pre-allocated for IEC 60870–5–103 (VDEW).
Selecting the SYNC function group in DIGSI opens a dialog box with tabs in which the individual parameters
for synchronization can be set.
General Settings
The general thresholds for the synchronizing function are set at addresses 6101 to 6112.
Address 6101 Synchronizing allows you to switch the entire SYNC function group ON or OFF. If switched
off, the synchrocheck does not verify the synchronization conditions and release is not granted.
Parameter 6102 SyncCB is used to select the switchgear component to which the synchronization settings are
applied. Select the option none to use the function as external synchronizing feature. It will then be triggered
via binary input messages.
Addresses 6103 Vmin and 6104 Vmax set the upper and lower limits for the operating voltage range for V1 or
V2 and thus determine the operating range for the synchronization function. Values outside this range will be
signaled.
Address 6105 V< indicates the voltage threshold below which the feeder or the busbar can safely be consid-
ered switched off (for checking a de-energized feeder or busbar).
Address 6106 V> indicates the voltage threshold above which the feeder or busbar can safely be considered
energized (for checking an energized feeder or busbar). It must be set below the anticipated operational
undervoltage.
The setting for the mentioned voltage values is made in secondary volts. When using DIGSI for configuration,
these values can also be entered as primary values. Depending on the connection of the voltages these are
phase-to-earth voltages or phase-to-phase voltages.
Addresses 6107 to 6110 are set to specify the release conditions for the voltage check: Where
6107 SYNC V1<V2> = component V1 must be de-energized, component V2 must be energized (connection
when reference is de-energized, dead line);
6108 SYNC V1>V2< = component V1 must be energized, component V2 must be de-energized (connection
when feeder is de-energized, dead bus);
6109 SYNC V1<V2< = component V1 and component V2 must both be de-energized (connection when refer-
ence and feeder are de-energized, dead bus / dead line);
6110 Direct CO = connection released without checks.
The possible release conditions are independent of each other and can be combined. It is not recommended to
combine Direct CO with other release conditions.
Parameter TSUP VOLTAGE (address 6111) can be set to configure a monitoring time which requires above
stated release conditions to be present for at least de-energized switching before connection is allowed. The
preset value of 0.1 s accounts for transient responses and can be applied without modification.
Release via synchrocheck can be limited to a configurable synchronous monitoring time SYN. DURATION
(address 6112). The configured conditions must be fulfilled within this time period. Otherwise release is not
granted and the synchronizing function is terminated. If this time is set to ∞, the conditions will be checked
until they are fulfilled.
For special applications (e.g. connecting a ground switch) parameter 6113 25 Synchron allows enabling/
disabling the connection release when the conditions for synchronism are satisfied.
The transformer vector group is defined from the high side to the low side. In the example, the reference
voltage transformers (V1) are the ones of the transformer high side, i.e. the setting angle is 5 x 30° (according
to vector group), that is 150°:
Address 6122 ANGLE ADJUSTM. = 150°.
The reference voltage transformers supply 100 V secondary for primary operation at nominal value while the
feeder transformer supplies 110 V secondary. Therefore, this difference must be balanced:
Address 6121 Balancing V1/V2 = 100 V/110 V = 0.91.
[ss-spg-ueber-trafo-gemess-061115, 1, en_US]
Voltage Connections
The 7RW80 provides two voltage inputs for connecting the voltage V1 and one voltage input for connecting
the voltage V2 (see the following examples).
If two phase-to-phase voltages are open delta-connected to side V1 as reference voltage, a phase-to-phase
voltage must be connected and configured for the additional voltage V2 to be synchronized.
To correctly compare the phase-to-phase reference voltage V1 with the additional voltage V2, the device needs
to know the connection type of voltage V2. That is the task of parameter CONNECTIONof V2 (parameter
6123).
For the device to perform the internal conversion to primary values, the primary rated transformer voltage of
the measured quantity V2 must be entered via parameter 6125 VT Vn2, primary, primary if a transformer
is located between the system parts to be synchronized.
[sync-mehrphasig-anschl-061116, 1, en_US]
If only phase-to-ground voltages are available, the reference voltage V1 is connected to the first voltage trans-
former and the additional voltage V2 to the third voltage transformer.
[sync-1phasig-anschl-le-061116, 1, en_US]
Voltage Difference
The parameters 6150 dV SYNCHK V2>V1 and 6151 dV SYNCHK V2<V1 can be set to adjust the permissible
voltage differences asymmetrically. The availability of two parameters enables an asymmetrical release to be
set.
Frequency Difference
The parameters 6152 df SYNCHK f2>f1 and 6153 df SYNCHK f2<f1 determine the permissible
frequency differences. The availability of two parameters enables an asymmetrical release to be set.
Operating Range
The parameters 6154 dα SYNCHK α2>α1 and 6155 dα SYNCHK α2<α1 delimit the operating range for
switching under synchronous system conditions. The availability of two parameters enables an asymmetrical
release range to be set.

Measurement Method
The overexcitation protection feature servers to measure the voltage V/frequency f, ratio f, which is propor-
tional to the B induction and puts it in relation to the BN nominal induction. In this context, both voltage and
frequency are related to nominal values of the object to be protected (generator, transformer).
[uebereregungsschutz-020827-ho, 1, en_US]
[uebereregungsschutz2-020827-ho, 1, en_US]
The calculation is based on the maximum of the three phase-to-phase voltages. The frequency range moni-
tored extends from 25 Hz to 70 Hz.
Characteristics
Overexcitation protection includes two time graded characteristics and one thermal characteristic for approxi-
mate modeling of the heating of the protection object due to overexcitation. As soon as a first pickup
threshold (warning element 4302 24-1 PICKUP) has been exceeded, a 4303 24-1 DELAY time element is
started. On its expiry a warning message is transmitted. At the same time a counter switching is activated
when the pickup threshold is exceeded. This weighted counter is incremented in accordance with the current
V/f value resulting in the trip time for the parametrized characteristic. A trip signal is transmitted as soon as the
trip counter state has been reached.
The trip signal is retracted as soon as the value falls below the pickup threshold and the counter is decre-
mented in accordance with a parametrizable cool-down time.
The thermal characteristic is specified by 8 value pairs for overexcitation V/f (related to nominal values) and
trip time t. In most cases, the specified characteristic for standard transformers provides sufficient protection.
If this characteristic does not correspond to the actual thermal behavior of the object to be protected, any
desired characteristic can be implemented by entering customer-specific trip times for the specified V/f overex-
citation values. Intermediate values are determined by a linear interpolation within the device.
[ausloesebereich-des-uebereregungsschutz-020827-ho, 1, en_US]
The characteristic resulting from the device default settings is shown in the Technical Data Section Overexcita-
tion Protection. Figure 2-28 illustrates the behaviour of the protection on the assumption that within the
framework of configuration the setting for the pickup threshold (parameter 4302 24-1 PICKUP) was chosen
higher or lower than the first setting value of the thermal characteristic.
The following figure shows the logic diagram for overexcitation protection. The counter can be reset to zero
by means of a blocking input or a reset input.
[logikdiagramm-des-uebereregungsschutzes-020827-ho, 1, en_US]
General
Overecxitation Protection is only in effect and accessible if address 143 24 V/f is set to Enabled during
configuration of protective functions. If the function is not required Disabled is set. Under address 4301 FCT
24 V/f the function can be turned ON or OFF.
Overexcitation protection measures the voltage/frequency quotient which is proportional to the induction B.
The protection must intervene when the limit value for the protected object (e.g. unit transformer) is
exceeded. The transformer is for example endangered if the power station block is switched off at full-load
operation and the voltage regulator does not respond fast enough or not at all to avoid related voltage
increase.
Similarly a decrease in frequency (speed), e.g. in island systems, can lead to an inadmissible increase in induc-
tion.
In this way the V/f protection monitors the correct functioning both of the voltage regulator and of the speed
regulation, in all operating states.
Independent Elements
The limit-value setting at address 4302 24-1 PICKUP is based on the induction limit value relation to the
nominal induction (B/BN) as specified by the manufacturer of the object to be protected.
A pickup message is transmitted as soon as the induction limit value V/f at address 4302 is exceeded. A
warning message is transmitted after expiry of the corresponding 4303 24-1 DELAY time delay.
The 4304 24-2 PICKUP, 4305 24-2 DELAY trip element characteristic serves to rapidly switch off particu-
larly strong overexcitations.
The time set for this purpose is an additional time delay which does not include the operating time (measuring
time, drop-out time).
Thermal Characteristic
A thermal characteristic is superimposed on the trip element characteristic. For this purpose, the temperature
rise created by the overexcitation is approximately modeled. Not only the already mentioned pickup signal is
generated on transgression of the V/f induction limit set at address 4302, but in addition a counter is activated
additionally which causes the tripping after a length of time corresponding to the set characteristic.
[thermische-ausloesekennlinie-020827-ho, 1, en_US]
The characteristic of a Siemens standard transformer was selected as a default setting for the parameters
4306 to 4313. If the protection object manufacturer did not provide any information, the preset standard
characteristic should be used. Otherwise, any trip characteristic can be specified entering parameters point-
bypoint over a maximum of 7 straight lengths. To do this, the trip times t of the overexcitation values V/f =
1.05; 1.10; 1.15; 1.20; 1.25; 1.30; 1.35 and 1.40 are read out from predefined characteristic and entered at
the addresses 4306 24-t(V/f=1.05) to 4313 24-t(V/f=1.40) 24-t(V/f=1.40). The protection device
interpolates linearly between the points.
Limitation
The heating model of the object to be protected is limited to a 150 % overshoot of the trip temperature.
Cooling time
Tripping by the thermal image drops out by the time of the pickup threshold dropout. However, the counter
content is counted down to zero with the cooldown time parametrized at address 4314 24 T COOL DOWN. In
this context this parameter is defined as the time required by the thermal image to cool down from 100 % to
0 %.

Figure 2-31 Change of the Frequency after Disconnection of a Load (Fault recording with the SIPROTEC 4
device – the figure shows the deviation from the nominal frequency)
Measuring principle
For a three phase voltage connection, the vector of the positive sequence system voltage is calculated . For a
single-phase connection, the connected single-phase voltage is evaluated. The phase angle change of the
voltage vector is determined over a delta interval of 2 cycles. The presence of a phase angle jump indicates an
abrupt change of current flow. The basic principle is shown in Figure 2-32. The diagram on the left shows the
steady state, and the diagram on the right the vector change following a load shedding. The vector jump is
clearly visible.
[spannungszeiger-nach-entlastung-020904-ho, 1, en_US]
The function features a number of additional measures to avoid spurious tripping, such as:
• Correction of steady-state deviations from rated frequency
• Frequency operating range limited to fNom ± 3 Hz
Logic
The logic is shown in Figure 2-33. The phase angle comparison determines the angle difference, and
compares it with the set value. If this value is exceeded, the vector jump is stored in a RS flip-flop. Trippings
can be delayed by the associated time delay.
The stored pickup can be reset via a binary input, or automatically by a timer (address 4604 T RESET).
The vector jump function becomes ineffective on exiting the admissible frequency band. The same applies for
the voltage. In such a case the limiting parameters are V MIN and V MAX.
If the frequency or voltage range is not maintained, the logic generates a logical 1, and the reset input is
continuously active. The result of the vector jump measurement is suppressed. If, for instance, the voltage is
connected, and the frequency range is correct, the logical 1 changes to 0. The timer T BLOCK with reset delay
keeps the reset input active for a certain time, thus preventing a pickup caused by the vector jump function.
If a short-circuit causes the voltage to drop abruptly to a low value, the reset input is immediately activated to
block the function. The vector jump function is thus prevented from causing a trip.
[logikdiagramm-der-vektorsprungerfassung-020827-ho, 1, en_US]
General
The vector jump protection is only effective and available if address 146 VECTOR JUMP is set to Enabled
during configuration.
Under address 4601 VECTOR JUMP the function can be turned ON or OFF.
Pickup Values
The value to be set for the vector jump (address 4602 DELTA PHI) depends on the feed and load conditions.
Abrupt active power changes cause a jump of the voltage vector. The value to be set must be established in
accordance with the particular power system. This can be done on the basis of the simplified equivalent circuit
of the diagram “Voltage Vector Following Load Shedding” in the Functional Description section, or using
network calculation software.
If a setting is too sensitive, the protection function is likely to perform a network decoupling every time loads
are connected or disconnected. Therefore the default setting is 10°.
The admissible voltage operating range can be set at addresses 4605 for V MIN and 4606 for V MAX. The
setting values for V MIN and V MAX always refer to phase-phase voltages. With a single-phase connection
they refer to the phase-to-ground voltage of the selected connection. Setting range limits are to some extent a
matter of the utility's policy. The value for V MIN should be below the admissible level of short voltage dips
for which network decoupling is desired. The default setting is 80 % of the nominal voltage. For V MAX the
maximum admissible voltage must be selected. This will be in most cases 130 % of the nominal voltage.
Time Delays
The time delay T DELTA PHI (address 4603) should be left at zero, unless you wish to transmit the trip indi-
cation with a delay to a logic (CFC), or to leave enough time for an external blocking to take effect.
After expiry of the timer T RESET (address 4604), the protection function is automatically reset. The reset
time depends on the decoupling policy. It must have expired before the circuit breaker is reclosed. Where the
automatic reset function is not used, the timer is set to ∞. The reset signal must come in this case from the
binary input (circuit breaker auxiliary contact).
The timer T BLOCK with reset delay (address 4607) helps to avoid overfunctioning when voltages are
connected or disconnected. Normally the default setting need not be changed. Any change can be performed
with the DIGSI communication software (advanced parameters). It must be kept in mind that T BLOCK should
not be set less than the measuring window for vector jump measurement (150 ms).

Addresses which have an appended “A” can only be changed with DIGSI, under “Additional Settings”.

Applications
• Phase rotation ensures that all protective and monitoring functions operate correctly even with anti-
clockwise rotation, without the need for two phases to be reversed.
General
Various functions of the 7RW80 only operate correctly if the phase rotation of the voltages is known. Among
these functions are undervoltage protection (based only on positive sequence voltages) and measured value
monitors.
If an "acb" phase rotation is normal, the appropriate setting is made during configuration of the Power System
Data.
If the phase rotation can change during operation (e.g. the direction of a motor must be routinely changed),
then a changeover signal at the routed binary input for this purpose is sufficient to inform the protective relay
of the phase rotation reversal.
Logic
Phase rotation is permanently established at address 209 PHASE SEQ. (Power System Data). Via the exclu-
sive- OR gate the binary input >Reverse Rot. inverts the sense of the phase rotation applied with setting.
[dw_meldelogikdrehfeldumschaltung, 1, en_US]
• Initialization of Oscillographic Records: The storage and maintenance of oscillographic values can also be
made dependent on the general device pickup.
Exception: Apart from the settings ON or OFF, some protection functions can also be set to Alarm Only. With
setting Alarm Only no trip command is given, no trip log is created, fault recording is not initiated and no
spontaneous fault annunciations are shown on the display.
External functions may be controlled via an output contact. Examples are:
• Automatic reclosing devices,
• Starting of additional devices, or similar.
General Tripping
The trip signals for all protective functions are connected by OR and generate the message 511 Relay TRIP.
This message can be configured to an LED or binary output, just as the individual tripping messages can.
[dw_7sj6x-abst-ausloesekommando, 1, en_US]
After the occurrence of a system fault, data regarding the response of the protective relay and the measured
values are saved for future analysis. For this reason the device is designed to perform message processing.
Applications
Prerequisites
The SIPROTEC 4 System Description provides a detailed description of the configuration procedure
(see /1/ SIPROTEC 4 System Description).
Events and conditions can be read out on the display at the front cover of the relay. Using the front PC inter-
face or the port B at the botton, a personal computer can be connected, to which the information can be sent.
The relay is equipped with several event buffers, for operational messages, circuit breaker statistics, etc.,
which are protected against loss of the auxiliary voltage by a buffer battery. These messages can be displayed
on the LCD at any time by selection via the keypad or transferred to a personal computer via the serial service
or PC interface. Readout of messages during operation is described in detail in the SIPROTEC 4 System Descrip-
tion.
Classification of Messages
The messages are categorized as follows:
• Operational messages (event log); messages generated while the device is operating: Information
regarding the status of device functions, measured data, power system data, control command logs etc.
• Fault indications; these are indications of the last 25 network faults that were processed by the device.
• Messages of "statistics"; they include a counter for the trip commands initiated by the device and possibly
reclose commands.
A complete list of all message and output functions that can be generated by the device with the maximum
functional scope can be found in the appendix. All functions are associated with an information number
(FNo). There is also an indication of where each message can be sent to. If functions are not present in a not
fully equipped version of the device, or are configured to Disabled, then the associated indications cannot
appear.
[dw_display-spontanmeldungen, 1, en_US]
Retrievable Messages
The messages for the last eight network faults can be retrieved and read out. The definition of a network fault
is such that the time period from fault detection up to final clearing of the disturbance is considered to be one
network fault. Within a network fault, several fault messages can occur (from the first pickup of a protective
function to the last dropout of a protective function). Each fault event represents a network fault.
In total 600 indications can be recorded. Oldest data are erased for newest data when the buffer is full.
General Interrogation
The general interrogation which can be retrieved via DIGSI enables the current status of the SIPROTEC 4 device
to be read out. All messages requiring general interrogation are displayed with their present value.
Spontaneous Messages
The spontaneous messages displayed using DIGSI reflect the present status of incoming information. Each
new incoming message appears immediately, i.e. the user does not have to wait for an update or initiate one.
2.12.2 Statistics
The number of trips initiated by the 7RW80 and the operating hours under load are counted. An additional
counter enables the tripping of the count of the hours, in which the circuit breaker is positioned in condition
“open”.
The counter and memory levels are secured against loss of auxiliary voltage.
During the first start of the protection device the statistical values are pre-defined to zero.
Number of Trips
In order to count the number of trips of 7RW80, the 7RW80 relay has to be informed of the position of the
circuit breaker auxiliary contacts via binary inputs. Hereby, it is necessary that the internal pulse counter #of
TRIPs= is allocated in the matrix to a binary input that is controlled by the circuit breaker OPEN position. The
pulse count value "Number of TRIPs CB" can be found in the "Statistics" group if the option "Measured and
Metered Values Only" was enabled in the configuration matrix.
Operating Hours
Moreover, the operating hours are summed (device operating time).
Reading/Setting/Resetting Counters
The SIPROTEC 4 System Description provides a description of how to read out the statistical counters via the
device front panel or DIGSI. Setting or resetting of these statistical counters takes place under the menu item
MESSAGES —> STATISTICS by overwriting the counter values displayed.
2.12.3 Measurement
A series of measured values and the values derived from them are constantly available for call up on site, or
for data transfer.
Applications
Prerequisites
Except for secondary values, the device is able to indicate the primary values and percentages of the measured
values.
A precondition correct display of the primary and percentage values is the complete and correct entry of the
nominal values for the instrument transformers and the protected equipment as well as current and voltage
transformer ratios in the ground paths when configuring the device. The following table shows the formulas
which are the basis for the conversion of secondary values to primary values and percentages.
Measured values which cannot be calculated due to the selected voltage connection are shown as dots.

Depending on the type of device ordered and the device connections, some of the operational measured
values listed below may not be available.
The phase–to–ground voltages are either measured directly, if the voltage inputs are connected phase–to–
ground, or they are calculated from the phase–to–phase voltages VA–B and VB–C and the displacement voltage
VN.
The displacement voltage VN is either measured directly or calculated from the phase-to-ground voltages:
[verlagerungsspannunguen-020315-wlk, 1, en_US]
Minimum and maximum values are calculated by the 7RW80. Time and date of the last update of the values
can also be read out.
2.12.4.3 Settings
SIPROTEC devices facilitate the setting of limit values for some measured and metered values. If any of these
limit values is reached, exceeded or fallen below during operation, the device issues an alarm which is indi-
cated in the form of an operational message. This can be allocated to LEDs and/or binary outputs, transferred
via the interfaces and linked in DIGSI CFC. The limit values can be configured via DIGSI CFC and allocated via
the DIGSI device matrix.
Applications
• This monitoring program works with multiple measurement repetitions and a lower priority than the
protection functions. Therefore, it may not pick up if measured values are changed spontaneously in the
event of a fault, before a pickup or tripping of the protection function occurs. This monitoring program is
therefore absolutely unsuitable for blocking protection functions.
2.12.7.2 Settings
In test mode or during commissioning, the device information transmitted to a central or storage device can
be influenced. There are tools available for testing the system interface (port B) and the binary inputs and
outputs of the device.
Applications
• Test Mode
• Commissioning
Prerequisites
In order to be able to use the commissioning aids described in the following, the device must be connected to
a control center via port B.
prevents the message from being incorrectly interpreted as resulting from an actual fault. Moreover, a trans-
mission block can be set during the test so that no messages are transferred to the control center.
This can be implemented via binary inputs, using the interface on the device front and a PC.
The SIPROTEC 4 System Description states in detail how to activate and deactivate test mode and blocked data
transmission.
• Remote control via network control center or substation controller (e.g. SICAM)
Switchgear can also be controlled via the device's operator panel, DIGSI or a connection to the substation
control equipment.
Applications
Prerequisites
The number of switchgear devices to be controlled is limited by the
– existing binary inputs
– existing binary outputs.
substation. Furthermore, certain settings for the serial interface need to be made in the device (see SIPROTEC
4 System Description).
2.13.1.2 Informationsübersicht
In conjunction with the power system control several command types can be distinguished for the device:
• Set-point commands with configurable time settings, e.g. to control Petersen coils
• Tagging commands (for "setting") of the information value of internal objects, for example switching
authority (remote/local), settings group switching, data transmission block and deleting/presetting
metered values.
• Acknowledgment and resetting commands for setting and resetting internal buffers or data states.
• Information status command to set/reset the additional information "information status" of a process
object, such as:
– Input blocking
– Output blocking
Safety mechanisms in the command sequence ensure that a command can only be released after a thorough
check of preset criteria has been successfully concluded. Standard Interlocking checks are provided for each
individual control command. Additionally, user-defined interlocking conditions can be programmed separately
for each command. The actual execution of the command is also monitored afterwards. The overall command
task procedure is described in brief in the following list:
Check Sequence
Please observe the following:
• Command Entry, e.g. using the keypad on the local user interface of the device
– Check Password → Access Rights
– Check Switching Mode (interlocking activated/deactivated) → Selection of Deactivated interlocking
Recognition.
• System interlocking relies on the system data base in the substation or central control system.
• Bay interlocking relies on the object data base (feedbacks) of the bay unit.
• Cross-bay interlocking via GOOSE messages directly between bay units and protection relays (with
IEC61850: The inter-relay communication with GOOSE is performed via the EN100 module)
The extent of the interlocking checks is determined by the configuration of the relay. To obtain more informa-
tion about GOOSE, please refer to the SIPROTEC 4 System Description.
Switching objects that require system interlocking in a central control system are assigned to a specific param-
eter inside the bay unit (via configuration matrix).
For all commands, operation with interlocking (normal mode) or without interlocking (Interlocking OFF) can
be selected:
• For local commands, by activation of "Normal/Test"-key switch,
• For automatic commands, via command processing. by CFC and deactivated interlocking recognition,
• For local / remote commands, using an additional interlocking disable command, via Profibus.
The "plus" appearing in the message is a confirmation of the command execution. The command execution
was as expected, in other words positive. The minus sign means a negative confirmation, the command was
rejected. Possible command feedbacks and their causes are dealt with in the SIPROTEC 4 System Description.
The following figure shows operational indications relating to command execution and operation response
information for successful switching of the circuit breaker.
The check of interlocking can be programmed separately for all switching devices and tags that were set with
a tagging command. Other internal commands such as manual entry or abort are not checked, i.e. carried out
independent of the interlocking.
[dw_display_LS-betriebsmeldung, 1, en_US]
Figure 2-37 Example of an operational annunciation for switching circuit breaker 52 (Q0)
• Device Status Check (set = actual): The switching command is rejected, and an error indication is
displayed if the circuit breaker is already in the set position. (If this check is enabled, then it works
whether interlocking, e.g. zone controlled, is activated or deactivated.) This condition is checked in both
interlocked and non-interlocked status modes.
• System Interlocking: To check the power system interlocking, a local command is transmitted to the
central unit with Switching Authority = LOCAL. A switching device that is subject to system interlocking
cannot be switched by DIGSI.
• Zone Controlled / Bay Interlocking: Logic links in the device which were created via CFC are interrogated
and considered during interlocked switching.
• Blocking by Protection: Switch-ON commands are rejected with interlocked switches, as soon as one of
the protection functions of the unit has opened a fault case. The OPEN-command, by contrast, can
always be executed.
• Double Operation Block: Parallel switching operations are interlocked against one another; while one
command is processed, a second cannot be carried out.
• Switching Authority LOCAL: A control command from the user interface of the device (command with
command source LOCAL) is only allowed if the Key Switch (by configuration) is set to LOCAL.
• Switching Authority DIGSI: Switching commands that are issued locally or remotely via DIGSI (command
with command source DIGSI) are only allowed if remote control is admissible for the device (by configu-
ration). If a DIGSI-PC communicates with the device, it deposits here its virtual device number (VD). Only
commands with this VD (when Switching Authority = REMOTE) will be accepted by the device. Remote
switching commands will be rejected.
• Switching authority REMOTE: A remote switch command (command with source REMOTE) is only
allowed if remote control is enabled at the device (by configuration).
Switching Authority
The interlocking condition "Switching Authority" serves for determining the switching authority. It enables the
user to select the authorized command source. For devices with operator panel, the following switching
authority ranges are defined in the following priority sequence:
• LOCAL
• DIGSI
• REMOTE
The "Switching authority" object serves for interlocking or enabling LOCAL control but not REMOTE or DIGSI
commands. With a 7RW80, the switching authority can be changed between "REMOTE" and "LOCAL" on the
operator panel after having entered the password or by means of CFC also via binary inputs and a function
key.
The "Switching authority DIGSI" is used for interlocking and allows commands to be initiated using DIGSI.
Commands are allowed for both a remote and a local DIGSI connection. When a (local or remote) DIGSI PC
logs on to the device, it enters its Virtual Device Number (VD). The device only accepts commands having that
VD (with switching authority = OFF or REMOTE). When the DIGSI PC logs off, the VD is cancelled.
Commands are checked for their source SC and the device settings, and compared to the information set in
the objects "Switching authority" and "Switching authority DIGSI".

Commands that are initiated internally (command processing in the CFC) are not subject to switching

Switching Mode
The switching mode determines whether selected interlocking conditions will be activated or deactivated at
the time of the switching operation.
The following switching modes (local) are defined:
• Local commands (SC = LOCAL)
– interlocked (normal), or
– non-interlocked switching.
With a 7RW80, the switching mode can be changed between "locked" and "unlocked" on the operator panel
after having entered the password or by means of CFC also via binary inputs and a function key.
The following switching modes (remote) are defined:
• Remote or DIGSI commands (SC = LOCAL, REMOTE, or DIGSI)
– interlocked, or
– non-interlocked switching. Here, deactivation of interlocking is accomplished via a separate
command.
– For commands from CFC (SC = AUTO SICAM), please observe the notes in the CFC manual (compo-
nent: BOOL to command).
• directly, using a single point or double point indication or internal indication (marking), or
System Interlocking
Substation Controller (System interlocking) involves switchgear conditions of other bays evaluated by a central
control system.
Blocking by Protection
The pickup of protective elements blocks switching operations. Protective elements are configured, separately
for each switching component, to block specific switching commands sent in CLOSE and TRIP direction.
When enabled, "Block CLOSE commands" blocks CLOSE commands, whereas "Block TRIP commands" blocks
TRIP signals. Switching operations in progress will immediately be aborted by the pickup of a protective
element.
Bypassing Interlockings
Bypassing configured interlockings at the time of the switching action happens device-internal via interlocking
recognition in the command job or globally via so-called switching modes.
• SC=LOCAL
– The user can switch between the modes “interlocked“ or “non-interlocked“ (bypassed) in the oper-
ator panel after entering the password or using CFC via binary input and function key.
During the processing of the commands, independent of the further message routing and processing,
command and process feedback information are sent to the message processing center. These messages
contain information on the cause. With the corresponding allocation (configuration) these messages are
entered in the event list, thus serving as a report.

! WARNING
Warning of improper transport, storage, installation or assembly of the device.
Failure to observe these precautions can result in death, personal injury, or serious material damage.
² Trouble-free and safe use of this device depends on proper transport, storage, installation, and
assembly of the device according to the warnings in this device manual.
² Of particular importance are the general installation and safety regulations for work in a high-voltage
environment (for example, ANSI, IEC, EN, DIN, or other national and international regulations). These
regulations must be observed.
Prerequisites
For installation and connections the following conditions must be met:
The rated device data have been checked as recommended in the SIPROTEC 4 System Description. It has been
verified that these data comply with the power system data.
General Diagrams
Block diagrams for the terminal assignment of the 7RW80 are shown in Appendix B Terminal Assignments.
Connection examples for the current and voltage transformer circuits are provided in Appendix C Connection
Examples.
• Two binary inputs must be dedicated to the purpose of changing setting groups when four groups are to
be switched. One binary input must be set for >Set Group Bit0, the other input for >Set Group
Bit1. If either of these input functions is not assigned, then it is considered as not controlled.
• For the control of 2 setting groups one binary input is sufficient, namely >Set Group Bit0, since the
non-assigned binary input >Set Group Bit1 is then regarded as not connected.
• The control signals must be permanently active so that the selected setting group is and remains active.
The following table shows the allocation of the binary inputs to the setting groups A to D and a simplified
connection diagram for the two binary inputs is illustrated in the following figure. The figure illustrates an
example in which both Set Group Bits 0 and 1 are configured to be controlled (actuated) when the associated
binary input is energized (high).
Where:
no = not energized or not connected
yes = energized

This results in an upper limit for the resistance dimension, Rmax and a lower limit Rmin, from which the optimal
value of the arithmetic mean R should be selected:
[formel-mittelwert-r-260602-kn, 1, en_US]
In order that the minimum voltage for controlling the binary input is ensured, Rmax is derived as:
[formel-rmax-260602-kn, 1, en_US]
So the circuit breaker trip coil does not remain energized in the above case, Rmin is derived as:
[formel-rmin-260602-kn, 1, en_US]
If the calculation has the result max < Rmin, the calculation has to be repeated with the next smaller threshold
VBI min. This threshold is determined via the parameters 220 Threshold BI 1 to 226 Threshold BI 7. The
settings Thresh. BI 176V, Thresh. BI 88V, Thresh. BI 19V are possible.

3.1.2.1 Disassembly
NOTE
i Before carrying out the following steps, make sure that the device is not operative.
NOTE
i Apart from the communication modules and the fuse, there are no further components that can be config-
ured or operated by the user inside the device. Any service activities exceeding the installation or exchange
of communication modules must only be carried out by Siemens personnel
For preparing the workplace, a pad suitable for electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) is required.
Additionally, the following tools are required:
• a screwdriver with a 5 mm to 6 mm (0.20 – 0.24 in) wide blade,
• a Philips screwdriver size 1,
In order to disassemble the device, first remove it from the substation installation. To do so, perform the steps
stated in Sections Panel Flush Mounting, Panel Surface Mounting or Cubicle Mounting in reverse order.
NOTE
NOTE
! CAUTION
Mind electrostatic discharges
Failure to observe these precautions can result in personal injury or material damage.
² Any electrostatic discharges while working at the electronics block are to be avoided. We recommend
ESD protective equipment (grounding strap, conductive grounded shoes, ESD-suitable clothing, etc.).
Alternatively, an electrostatic charge is to be discharged by touching grounded metal parts.
NOTE
i In order to minimize the expenditure for reconnecting the device, remove the completely wired terminal
blocks from the device. Use a screwdriver (DIN 4 x 0.8) to carefully bend the left and right spring clips
outwards. Then carefully pull out the terminal block. When reinstalling the device, carefully insert the
terminal block into the spring clips. Both spring clips must engage clearly audible. (Sections Panel Flush
Mounting, Panel Surface Mounting or Cubicle Mounting).
In order to install or exchange communication modules or to replace the fuse, proceed as follows:
Remove the two covers at the top and bottom. Thus, 1 housing screw each at the top and bottom becomes
accessible. First, only unscrew the bottom housing screw so far that its tip no longer looks out of the thread of
the mounting bracket (the housing screws are captive, they remain in the front cover even when unscrewed).
Unscrew all screws that fasten any existing communication modules in the module cover on the bottom side
of the device. Also unscrew the 4 countersunk screws that fasten the module cover on the bottom side of the
device. Carefully pull the entire module cover out of the device.
Only now completely unscrew the two housing screws at the top and bottom in the cover and carefully
remove the complete electronics block from the housing (Figure 3-3).
NOTE
i If you have not removed the terminal blocks from the rear panel, much more force is required for removing
and reinstalling the electronics block, which might lead to the damaging of the device. Therefore, we abso-
lutely recommend to remove the terminal blocks before removing the electronics block.
[einschub-7sj80-20071107, 1, --_--]
[7sx80-fuse-basic-io-080408, 1, en_US]
Remove the defective fuse. Insert the new fuse with the following technical data into the fuse holder:
5 mm x 20 mm (0.20 * 0.79 in) safety fuse
T characteristic
2.0 A nominal current
250 V nominal voltage
Switching capability 1500 VA/ DC 300 V
Only UL-approved fuses may be used.
This data applies to all device types (24 V/48 V and 60 V – 250 V).
Make sure that the defective fuse has not left any obvious damage on the device. If the fuse trips again after
reconnection of the device, refrain from any further repairs and send the device to Siemens for repair.
The device can now be reassembled again (see Section Reassembly).
Disposal of Old Equipment and Batteries (Applicable only for European Union and Countries with a Recycling
System)
The disposal of our products and possible recycling of their components after decommissioning has to be
carried out by an accredited recycling company, or the products/components must be taken to applicable
collection points. Such disposal activities must comply with all local laws, guidelines and environmental speci-
fications of the country in which the disposal is done. For the European Union the sustainable disposal of elec-
tronic scrap is defined in the respective regulation for "waste electrical and electronic equipment" (WEEE).
The crossed-out wheelie bin on the products, packaging and/or accompanying documents means
that used electrical and electronic products and batteries must not be mixed with normal house-
hold waste.
According to national legislation, penalties may be charged for incorrect disposal of such
waste.
By disposing of these products correctly you will help to save valuable resources and prevent any potential
negative effects on human health and the environment.
NOTE
i Our products and batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. For disposing batteries it is neces-
sary to observe the local national/international directives.
Disposal of Mobile Storage Devices (e.g. USB Sticks and Memory Cards)
When disposing of/transferring mobile storage devices, using the format or delete functions only changes the
file management information and does not completely delete the data from your mobile storage device. When
disposing of or transferring a mobile storage device, Siemens strongly recommends physically destroying it or
completely deleting data from the mobile storage device by using a commercially available computer data
erasing software.

Fixing Elements
The fixing elements for the voltage transformer connection are part of the voltage terminal (housing side).
They have a stress-crack- and corrosion-resistant alloy. The head shape of the terminal screw allows for using a
flat screwdriver (4.0 mm x 0.8 mm / 0.16 in x 0.031 in) or a crosstip screwdriver (PZ1). PZ1 is recommended.
With terminal points lying one below the other you may connect single conductors and jumpers (Order No.
C53207-A406-D194-1) together. Please make sure that neighboring jumpers are built in/connected alter-
nately.
Mechanical Requirements
The fixing elements and the connected components are designed for the following mechanical requirements:
Permissible tightening torque at the terminal screw 1.0 Nm (8.85 lb.in)
General
The 7RW80 relay is supplied with preconfigured interfaces according to the ordering version. You do not have
to make any adaptations to the hardware (e.g. plugging in jumpers) yourself, except for the installation or
replacement of communication modules.
The use of the interface modules RS232, RS485 and optical can be defined via the parameter 617 ServiProt
(CM). This parameter is only visible if the 11th digit of the ordering number was selected to be 1 for RS232, 2
for RS485 or 3 for optical.
[com-modul-mit-stuetz-20100716, 1, --_--]
[en100-lc_schraeg-20071107, 1, --_--]
Now, a SIPROTEC 4 communication module can be installed (see Section Installation or Replacement of a
SIPROTEC 4 Communication Module). Otherwise, the device can be reassembled again (see Section Reas-
sembly).
NOTE
i The installation can only be performed alone or after the installation of the Ethernet module.
The SIPROTEC 4 communication module is inserted via the large window in the plastic supporting plate. The
direction of insertion is not arbitrary. The module is held at its mounting bracket. The opposite end of the
module is inserted with the same orientation in the window opening, under the supporting plate and any
existing extension I/O. The module bracket is turned towards the Ethernet module locking latch at the
supporting plate. Thus, even the longest connection elements of the communication module can be moved in
this space between the lower supporting plate reinforcement and the locking latch in the direction of the
transformer module. The mounting bracket of the module is now drawn up to the stop in the direction of the
lower supporting plate reinforcement. Thus, the 60-pin plug connector on the module and the basic I/O board
are aligned on top of each other. The alignment has to be checked via the opening at the bottom of the rack.
Attach the module's mounting rail from the back side of the basic I/O using 2 M 2.5 screws.
[com-modul-20071107, 1, --_--]
3.1.2.4 Reassembly
The reassembly of the device is performed in the following steps:
Carefully insert the complete electronics block into the housing. Please observe the following:
The connections of the communication modules point at the bottom of the housing.
Insert the electronics block into the housing, until the supporting part rests against the front edge of the
housing. Press the left housing wall slightly out and insert the electronics block carefully further into the
housing. When the front edge of the housing and the inside of the front plate touch, center the front plate by
carful lateral movements. This makes sure that the front plate encloses/surrounds the housing. The electronics
block can only be inserted centered up to the end stop.
[einschub-mit-stuetz-20100716, 1, --_--]
Fix the front cover to the housing with the two medium screws at the top and bottom of the front cover. The
two covers can be inserted again either now or after the reinstallation of the device. Now install the device in
accordance with the Sections Panel Flush Mounting, Panel Surface Mounting or Cubicle Mounting.
NOTE
i Insert the voltage terminal blocks again and lock them in place!

USB Interface
The USB interface can be used to establish a connection between the protection device and your PC. For the
communication, the Microsoft Windows USB driver is used which is installed together with DIGSI (as of version
V4.82). The interface is installed as a virtual serial COM port. We recommend the use of standard USB cables
with a maximum length of 5 m/16 ft.

Connections at port A
If the interface is used for communication with the device, the data connection is to be checked.
Connections at port B
When a serial interface of the device is connected to a control center, the data connection must be checked. A
visual check of the assignment of the transmit and receive channels is important. With RS232 and fiber optic
interfaces, each connection is dedicated to one transmission direction. For that reason the data output of one
device must be connected to the data input of the other device and vice versa.

The cable shield is to be grounded at both ends. For extremely EMC-prone environments, the GND may be
connected via a separate individually shielded wire pair to improve immunity to interference.
Fiber-optic Cables
! WARNING
Laser Radiation! Class 1
Signals transmitted via optical fibers are unaffected by interference. The fibers guarantee electrical isolation
between the connections. Transmit and receive connections are represented by symbols.
The standard setting of the character idle state for the optical fiber interface is “Light off”. If the character idle
state is to be changed, use the operating program DIGSI as described in the SIPROTEC 4 System Description.
! WARNING
Warning of dangerous voltages
Non-observance of the following measures can result in death, personal injury or substantial prop-
erty damage.
² Therefore, only qualified people who are familiar with and adhere to the safety procedures and
precautionary measures should perform the inspection steps.
! CAUTION
Take care when operating the device without a battery on a battery charger.
Non-observance of the following measures can lead to unusually high voltages and consequently,
the destruction of the device.
² Do not operate the device on a battery charger without a connected battery. (For limit values see also
Technical Data, Section 4.1 General Device Data).
Before the device is energized for the first time, it should be in the final operating environment for at least 2
hours to equalize the temperature, to minimize humidity and to avoid condensation. Connections are checked
with the device at its final location. The plant must first be switched off and grounded.
Proceed as follows for checking the system connections:
• Circuit breakers for the auxiliary power supply and the measuring voltage must be opened.
• Check the continuity of all voltage transformer connections against the system and connection diagrams:
– Are the voltage transformers grounded properly?
– Are the polarities of the voltage transformer connections the same and correct?
– Is the phase assignment of the voltage transformers correct?
– Is the polarity for the voltage input V3 correct (if used e.g. for broken delta winding or busbar
voltage)?
• If test switches are used for the secondary testing of the device, their functions must also be checked.
• Connect an ammeter in the supply circuit of the power supply. A range of about 2.5 A to 5 A for the
meter is appropriate.
• Switch on m.c.b. for auxiliary voltage (supply protection), check the voltage level and, if applicable, the
polarity of the voltage at the device terminals or at the connection modules.
• The current input should correspond to the power input in neutral position of the device. The measured
steady state current should be insignificant. Transient movement of the ammeter merely indicates the
charging current of capacitors
• Verify that the voltage phase rotation at the device terminals is correct.
• Open the protective switches for the voltage transformers and the power supply.
• Check the trip and close circuits to the power system circuit breakers.
• Verify that the control wiring to and from other devices is correct.
3.3 Commissioning
! WARNING
Warning of dangerous voltages when operating an electrical device
Non-observance of the following measures can result in death, personal injury or substantial prop-
erty damage.
² Only qualified people shall work on and around this device. They must be thoroughly familiar with all
warnings and safety notices in this instruction manual as well as with the applicable safety steps,
safety regulations, and precautionary measures.
² Before making any connections, the device must be grounded at the protective conductor terminal.
² Hazardous voltages can exist in all switchgear components connected to the power supply and to
measurement and test circuits.
² Hazardous voltages can be present in the device even after the power supply voltage has been
removed (capacitors can still be charged).
² After switching off the auxiliary voltage, wait a minimum of 10 seconds before reconnecting this
voltage so that steady conditions can be established.
² The limit values given in Technical Data (Chapter 4) must not be exceeded, neither during testing nor
during commissioning.
When testing the device with secondary test equipment, make sure that no other measurement quantities are
connected and that the trip and close circuits to the circuit breakers and other primary switches are discon-
nected from the device.
! DANGER
Hazardous voltages during interruptions in secondary circuits of current transformers
Non-observance of the following measure will result in death, severe personal injury or substantial
property damage.
² Short-circuit the current transformer secondary circuits before current connections to the device are
opened.
Switching operations have to be carried out during commissioning. A prerequisite for the prescribed tests is
that these switching operations can be executed without danger. They are accordingly not intended for opera-
tional checks.
! WARNING
Warning of dangers evolving from improper primary tests
Non-observance of the following measures can result in death, personal injury or substantial prop-
erty damage.
² Primary tests are only allowed to be carried out by qualified personnel, who are familiar with the
commissioning of protection systems, the operation of the plant and the safety rules and regulations
(switching, grounding, etc.).
Prefacing Remarks
If the device features a system interface and this is used to communicate with the control center, the DIGSI
device operation can be used to test if messages are transmitted correctly. This test option should however
definitely not be used while the device is in “real” operation.
! DANGER
Danger evolving from operating the equipment (e.g. circuit breakers, disconnectors) by means of the
test function
Non-observance of the following measure will result in death, severe personal injury or substantial
property damage.
² Equipment used to allow switching such as circuit breakers or disconnectors is to be checked only
during commissioning. Do not under any circumstances check them by means of the test function
during “real” operation by transmitting or receiving messages via the system interface.
NOTE
i After termination of the system interface test the device will reboot. Thereby, all annunciation buffers are
erased. If required, these buffers should be extracted with DIGSI prior to the test.
The interface test is carried out using DIGSI in the Online operating mode:
• Open the Online directory by double-clicking; the operating functions for the device appear.
• Click on Test; the function selection appears in the right half of the screen.
• Double-click Generate Indications in the list view. The Generate Indications dialog box opens (see
following figure).
[sc_schnittstelle-testen, 1, en_US]
Figure 3-17 System interface test with the dialog box: Creating messages - example
• Click on Send in the function to be tested and check whether the transmitted information reaches the
central station and shows the desired reaction. Data which are normally linked via binary inputs (first
character “>”) are likewise indicated to the central power system with this procedure. The function of the
binary inputs itself is tested separately.
In the case of a first-time installation or replacement of a communication module, the ordering number
(MLFB) does not need to be changed. The ordering number can be retained. Thus, all previously created
parameter sets remain valid for the device.

Terminal Test
The system interface (EN 100) is preassigned with the default value zero and the module is thus set to DHCP
mode. The IP address can be set in the DIGSI Manager (Object properties... / Communication parameters /
System interface [Ethernet]).
The Ethernet interface is preassigned with the following IP address and can be changed on the device at any
time (DIGSI device processing / Parameters / Interfaces / Ethernet service):
IP address: 192.168.100.10
Network mask: 255.255.255.0
Prefacing Remarks
The binary inputs, outputs, and LEDs of a SIPROTEC 4 device can be individually and precisely controlled in
DIGSI. This feature is used to verify control wiring from the device to plant equipment (operational checks)
during commissioning. This test option should however definitely not be used while the device is in “real”
operation.
! DANGER
Danger evolving from operating the equipment (e.g. circuit breakers, disconnectors) by means of the
test function
Non-observance of the following measure will result in death, severe personal injury or substantial
property damage.
² Equipment used to allow switching such as circuit breakers or disconnectors is to be checked only
during commissioning. Do not under any circumstances check them by means of the test function
during real operation by transmitting or receiving messages via the system interface.
NOTE
i After finishing the hardware tests, the device will reboot. Thereby, all annunciation buffers are erased. If
required, these buffers should be read out with DIGSI and saved prior to the test.
The hardware test can be carried out using DIGSI in the Online operating mode:
• Open the Online directory by double-clicking; the operating functions for the device appear.
• Click on Test; the function selection appears in the right half of the screen.
• Double-click in the list view on Hardware Test. The dialog box of the same name opens (see the
following figure).
In the column Status the present (physical) state of the hardware component is displayed. Indication is made
by symbols. The physical actual states of the binary inputs and outputs are indicated by an open or closed
switch symbol, the LEDs by a dark or illuminated LED symbol.
The opposite state of each element is displayed in the column Scheduled. The display is made in plain text.
The right-most column indicates the commands or messages that are configured (masked) to the hardware
components.
[ein-ausgabe-testen-110402-wlk, 1, en_US]
• Each output relay must be tested via the corresponding Scheduled-cell in the dialog box.
• Finish the testing (see margin title below “Exiting the Test Mode”), so that during further testings no
unwanted switchings are initiated.
• Finish the testing (see margin heading below “Exiting the Test Mode”).
If ,however, the effect of a binary input must be checked without carrying out any switching in the plant, it is
possible to trigger individual binary inputs with the hardware test function. As soon as the first state change of
any binary input is triggered and the password No. 6 has been entered, all binary inputs are separated from
the plant and can only be activated via the hardware test function.
• for all hardware components with cyclical updating (cycle time is 20 seconds) if the Automatic Update
(20sec) field is marked.
CFC Logic
The device has a vast capability for allowing functions to be defined by the user, especially with the CFC logic.
Any special function or logic added to the device must be checked.
Of course, general test procedures cannot be given. Configuration of these functions and the target conditions
must be actually known beforehand and tested. Possible interlocking conditions of switching devices (circuit
breakers, disconnectors, ground switch) are of particular importance. They must be observed and tested.
The connections of the voltage transformers are tested using primary quantities. The line is energized and will
remain in this state during the measurements.
If measurement circuits are connected correctly, all Measured Value Monitoring of the device will stay inac-
tive. If an element detects a problem, the causes which provoked it may be viewed in the Event Log. If voltage
sum errors are found, check the matching factors.
Messages from the symmetry monitoring could occur because there actually are asymmetrical conditions in
the network. If these asymmetrical conditions are normal service conditions, the corresponding monitoring
functions should be made less sensitive.
Voltage Values
The voltages can be seen in the display field at the front of the device or the operator interface via a PC. They
can be compared to the quantities measured by an independent source, as primary and secondary quantities.
If the measured values are implausible, the connection must be checked and corrected after the line has been
isolated. The measurements must then be repeated.
Phase Rotation
The phase rotation must correspond to the configured phase rotation, in general a clockwise phase rotation. If
the system has an anti-clockwise phase rotation, this must have been considered when the power system data
was set (address 209 PHASE SEQ.). If the phase rotation is incorrect, the alarm Fail Ph. Seq. (FNo 171)
is generated. The measured value phase allocation must be checked
Depending on the application of the voltage measuring input V3 of a 7RW80, a polarity check may be neces-
sary. If no measuring voltage is connected to this input, this section is irrelevant.
If input V3 is used for the measurement of the displacement voltage VN (Power System Data 1 address 213
VT Connect. 3ph = Vab, Vbc, VGnd), the polarity is checked together with the current input ΙN/ΙNs (see
further below).
If the input V3 is used for measuring a voltage for synchrocheck (Power System Data 1, address 213 VT
Connect. 3ph = Vab, Vbc, VSyn or Vph-g, VSyn), the following is to be observed:
• The single-phase voltage V2 to be synchronized must be connected to input V3.
• For the synchrocheck, the program Direct CO is set to YES (address 6110); the other programs
(addresses 6107 to 6109) are set to NO.
• Via a binary input (170.0043 >25 Sync requ.) a measurement request is entered. The synchrocheck
must release closing (message 170.0049 25 CloseRelease). If not, check all relevant parameters
again (synchrocheck configured and enabled correctly, see Sections 2.1.1 Functional Scope and
2.7 Synchrocheck).
• Then the circuit breaker is closed while the line isolator is open (see Figure 3-23). Thus, both voltage
transformers receive the same voltage.
• For the synchrocheck, the program 25 Function 1 is set to SYNCHROCHECK (address 161)
• Via a binary input (170.0043 >25 Sync requ.) a measurement request is entered. The synchrocheck
must release closing (message 170.0049 25 CloseRelease).
• If not, first check whether one of the aforesaid messages 170.2090 25 V2>V1 or 170.2091 25 V2<V1
or 170.2094 25 α2>α1 or 170.2095 25 α2<α1 is available in the spontaneous messages.
The message 25 V2>V1 or 25 V2<V1 indicates that the magnitude adaption is incorrect. Check address
6121 Balancing V1/V2 and recalculate the adaptation factor.
The message 25 α2>α1 or 25 α2<α1 indicates that the phase relation of the busbar voltage does not
match the setting under address CONNECTIONof V2 (see Section 2.7 Synchrocheck). When measuring
via a transformer, address 6122 ANGLE ADJUSTM. must also be checked; this must adapt the vector
group. If these are correct, there is probably a reverse polarity of the voltage transformer terminals for
V1.
• For the synchrocheck, the program SYNC V1>V2< is set to YES (address 6108)
• Via a binary input (170.0043 >25 Sync requ.) a measurement request is entered. There is no close
release. If there is, the VT mcb for the busbar voltage is not allocated. Check whether this is the required
state, alternatively check the binary input >FAIL: BUS VT (6510).
• For the synchrocheck, the program SYNC V1<V2>is set to YES (address 6107) and SYNC V1>V2< is set
to NO (address 6108).
• Via a binary input (170.0043 >25 Sync requ.) a measurement request is entered. The synchrocheck
must release closing (message 170.0049 25 CloseRelease). Otherwise check all voltage connections
and the corresponding parameters again thoroughly as described in Section2.7 Synchrocheck.
• Via a binary input (170.0043 >25 Sync requ.) a measurement request is entered. No close release is
given.

! DANGER
A test cycle successfully started by the automatic reclosure function can lead to the closing of the
circuit breaker !
Non-observance of the following statement will result in death, severe personal injury or substantial
property damage.
² Be fully aware that OPEN-commands sent to the circuit breaker can result in a trip-close-trip event of
the circuit breaker by an external reclosing device.
General
In order to be able to test the stability of the protection during switchon procedures also, switchon trials can
also be carried out at the end. Oscillographic records obtain the maximum information about the behaviour of
the protection.
Requirements
To be able to trip an oscillographic recording, parameter Osc Fault Rec. must be configured to Enabled in
the Functional Scope. Apart from the capability of storing fault recordings via pickup of the protection func-
tion, the 7RW80 also has the capability of initiating a measured value recording via the operator program
DIGSI, the serial interface or binary input. In the latter case, the information >Trig.Wave.Cap. must be allo-
cated to a binary input. Triggering for the oscillographic recording then occurs, for instance, via the binary
input when the protection object is energized.
Those that are externally triggered (that is, without a protective element pickup) are processed by the device
as a normal oscillographic record. For each oscillographic record a fault record is created which is given its
individual number to ensure that assignment can be made properly. However, these recordings are not
displayed in the fault indication buffer, as they are not fault events.
[digsi-fenster-testmessschrieb-starten-260602-kn, 1, en_US]
Oscillographic recording is started immediately. During recording, a report is given in the left part of the status
bar. Bar segments additionally indicate the progress of the procedure.
The SIGRA or the Comtrade Viewer program is required to view and analyse the oscillographic data.
! CAUTION
Inadmissable Tightening Torques
Non–observance of the following measure can result in minor personal injury or property damage.
² The tightening torques must not be exceeded as the threads and terminal chambers may otherwise be
damaged!
The settings should be checked again, if they were changed during the tests. Check if all protection, control
and auxiliary functions to be found with the configuration parameters are set correctly (Section 2.1.1 Func-
tional Scope, Functional Scope) and all desired functions are set to ON. Keep a copy of all setting values on a
PC.
Check the internal clock of the device. If necessary, set or synchronize the clock if it is not automatically
synchronized. For assistance, refer to the SIPROTEC 4 System Description.
The annunciation buffers are deleted under MAIN MENU → Annunciations → Set/Reset, so that future infor-
mation will only apply to actual events and states (see also SIPROTEC 4 System Description). The counters in
the switching statistics should be reset to the values that were existing prior to the testing (see also SIPROTEC
4 System Description).
Reset the counter of the operational measured values (e.g. operation counter, if available) under MAIN MENU
→ Measured Values → Reset (also see SIPROTEC 4 System Description).
Press the ESC key (several times if necessary), to return to the default display. The default display appears in
the display box (e.g. the display of operational measured values).
Clear the LEDs on the front panel of the device by pressing the LED key, so that they show only real events and
states in the future. In this context, also output relays probably memorized are reset. Pressing the LED key also
serves as a test for the LEDs on the front panel because they should all light when the button is pushed. Any
LEDs that are lit after the clearing attempt are displaying actual conditions.
The green “RUN” LED must light up, whereas the red “ERROR” must not light up.
Close the protective switches. If test switches are available, then these must be in the operating position.
The device is now ready for operation.

The protective device is designed for use in an industrial environment and an electrical utility environment.
Proper installation procedures should be followed to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
In addition, the following is recommended:
• All contacts and relays that operate in the same cubicle, cabinet, or relay panel as the numerical protec-
tive device should, as a rule, be equipped with suitable surge suppression components.
• For substations with operating voltages of 100 kV and above, all external cables should be shielded with
a conductive shield grounded at both ends. For substations with lower operating voltages, no special
measures are normally required.
• Do not withdraw or insert individual modules or boards while the protective device is energized. In with-
drawn condition, some components are electrostatically endangered; during handling the ESD stand-
ards (for Electrostatic Sensitive Devices) must be observed. They are not endangered when inserted into
the case.

The GOOSE communication service of IEC 61850 is qualified for switchgear interlocking The runtime of
GOOSE messages with the protection relay picked up depends on the number of connected IEC 61850
clients.
As from version V4.6 of the devices, applications with protective functions have to be checked with regard
to their required runtime. In individual cases, the manufacturer has to be consulted with regard to the
requirements to ensure that the application functions safely.

GOOSE message
GOOSE messages (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event) according to IEC 61850 are data packets which
are transferred event-controlled via the Ethernet communication system. They serve for direct information
exchange among the relays. This mechanism implements cross-communication between bay units.
GPS
Global Positioning System. Satellites with atomic clocks on board orbit the earth twice a day on different paths
in approx. 20,000 km. They transmit signals which also contain the GPS universal time. The GPS receiver
determines its own position from the signals received. From its position it can derive the delay time of a satel-
lite signal and thus correct the transmitted GPS universal time.
Hierarchy level
Within a structure with higher-level and lower-level objects a hierarchy level is a container of equivalent
objects.
HV field description
The HV project description file contains details of fields which exist in a ModPara-project. The actual field infor-
mation of each field is stored in a HV field description file. Within the HV project description file, each field is
allocated such a HV field description file by a reference to the file name.
HV project description
All the data is exported once the configuration and parameterization of PCUs and sub-modules using ModPara
has been completed. This data is split up into several files. One file contains details about the fundamental
project structure. This also includes, for example, information detailing which fields exist in this project. This
file is called a HV project description file.

number of objects which are integrated in a hierarchical structure. Physically, a project consists of a number of
directories and files containing project data.
Protection devices
All devices with a protective function and no control display.
Reorganizing
Frequent addition and deletion of objects results in memory areas that can no longer be used. By reorganizing
projects, you can release these memory areas again. However, a cleanup also reassigns the VD addresses. The
consequence is that all SIPROTEC 4 devices have to be reinitialized.

This object type represents a variant of an object of type SIPROTEC 4 device. The device data of this variant
may well differ from the device data of the original object. However, all variants derived from the original
object have the same VD address as the original object. For this reason they always correspond to the same
real SIPROTEC 4 device as the original object. Objects of type SIPROTEC 4 variant have a variety of uses, such
as documenting different operating states when entering parameter settings of a SIPROTEC 4 device.
