Fact: A 15 amp circuit breaker was designed to protect equipment – not people!
The relay is developed with zero percentage of risk factor by its own design. The current
carrying paths and circuits are isolated from the metal case and structure. Suitable clearance
depending on the type of insulation required for different classes are provided.
The relay confirms to Product safety requirement standard IEC 60255-27.
It deals with the handling of relay in proper way. An individual to be considered as ‘qualified’
with regard to certain equipment in the workplace, but ‘unqualified’ as to other equipment. “An
employee, who is undergoing on the job training and who, in the course of such training, has
demonstrated the ability to perform duties safely at his or her level of training and who is under
the direct supervision of a qualified person also considered to be a qualified person for the
performance of those duties.”
The following requirements must be met, in the order given, before circuits or equipments are
re-energized, even temporarily.
People handling the equipment should be aware about the relay safety handlet.
Ensure that the product is in the off condition before working on the conducting or terminal
side.
A qualified person must conduct tests and visual inspections, as necessary, to verify that
tools electrical jumpers, shorts, grounds and other such devices have been removed, so
that the circuits and equipments can be safely re-energized.
Employees exposed to the hazards associated with re-energizing the circuit or equipment
must be warned to stay clear of the circuits and equipment.
Each lock and tag must be removed by the employee who applied it or someone else under
that employee’s direct supervision.

HANDLING OF RELAY
Protective relays generally of robust construction require careful treatment prior to installation
on site. Care must be taken when unpacking and installing the relays so that none of the parts
are damaged. Relays must be handled by skilled personnel. The following should be taken into
account while handling the relay:
The relay use components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. The relay
comprises of various semi-conductor devices which can damage if touched by means of
direct contact. Handle the cards in static free environment since electrostatic discharge can
affect performance of the relay or cause damage to the cards.
The electronic circuits are well protected by the metal case and the internal module should
not be withdrawn unnecessarily.
The relay is normally shipped in separately packed condition. After unpacking, see if there
is any mechanical damage to the cabinet, the nameplate, terminal blocks etc. Damage of
any such sort identified shall be intimated to works.
Avoid plugging in/ pulling out the cards when the power is ON.
Do not apply CT inputs when auxiliary supply is switched OFF.
If the cards are withdrawn for testing, ensure proper positioning while replacing.
Keep the relays in well-packed condition in a dust-free dry environment without direct
exposure to sunlight.
The relay is shipped from factory after detailed testing by our Quality Control Department.
However, according to the customer requirement the relay settings/ functions can be verified
before commissioning at respective sites with proper testing kits.
STORAGE
If relays are not to be installed immediately upon receipt they should be stored in a place free
from dust and moisture in their original boxes. At most care should be taken while storage.

1. DSP Controller
The dsPIC DSC (Digital Signal Controller) is a 16-bit modified Harvard RISC (Reduced
Instruction Set Computer) machine that combines the control advantages of a high-performance
16-bit microcontroller with the high computation speed of a fully implemented Digital Signal
Processor (DSP).
The DSP controller continuously monitors the currents and voltages. Based on this the controller
performs different calculations and whenever an abnormal condition occurs it distinguishes the
type of fault and issues trip command to the circuit breaker.
2. Data Acquisition
The Current signals are scaled and isolated using Current Transformer (CT). These isolated
analog signals are filtered to minimize the effects of electromagnetic interference and noise in
the high frequency range.
The analog signals are then fed to the Analog to Digital Converter which has a 16 bit resolution.
The DSP controller will take the 32 samples per cycles of each Current for the computational
purpose. If any fault occurs the parameters will be stored in to the non-volatile memory with
date and time stampings and this can be downloaded for further analysis in the disturbance
recorder.
4. Communication Module
The relay is having 2 communications port, USB and RS 485. The relay is using IEC 60870-5-
103 communication protocol for communication through RS485 and USB (Proprietary).
1. The software is capable of analyzing the peak, RMS & average values of current, Harmonic
analysis of current waveforms and determination of fault clearing time.
2. Waveform pointed by user displays the current & sample value of the particular point.
RS 485 port is provided for SCADA connectivity. Using RS485 port online fault data of critical
parameters, disturbance record (Waveform), event record (Trip data), Automatic Supervision
and Control (healthiness of Relay), Alarm and Event Handling, Data Acquisition, Calculating and
Reporting, Parameter Setting, Resetting Indicating LEDs, Trip Circuit supervision, Relay Fail
Indication etc can be downloaded. The communication complies with IEC 60870-5-103 protocol.
6. Disturbance Recorder
The relay has the facility to record 50 cycles (45 pre-fault and 5 post faults) of fault waveforms.
Latest 200 waveforms of Current can be stored in the relay. This data is retrievable through
USB & RS485 communication ports using UI software and SCADA respectively.

SETTING GUIDELINES
The basic principle of operation involves the comparison of currents at the terminal of the unit
to be protected. The relay measures the HV current (I1) and LV current (I2) of the Transformer
through the bushing CTs and calculates the Differential current ΔI (I1- I2) and the bias current
((I1+ I2)/2). The relay is having dual slope characteristics with bias setting. The relay provide

SETTING GUIDELINES
The biasing and operating current setting of the numerical type differential protection relay
should be calculated as follows:
(a) The percentage biased setting should be so chosen that the relay remains inoperative on
differential currents resulting from (1) tap changing of traction transformer, (2) mismatch in
CT ratios and (3) difference in CT saturation levels under through fault conditions. Percentage
mismatches resulting from factors (1) and (2) may be calculated from actual data and an
allowance of 7.5 to 15% may be made for factor (3).
(b) The operating current setting may be taken as 40%. If mal operations of the relay are
observed on through faults and magnetizing inrush (switching in of power transformer), a
higher setting may be considered.
This factor is used to neutralize the effect of transformer bushing CTs ratio corresponding to
transformer primary and secondary rated current, as the output current (CT secondary) shall be
same to avoid the mal function during normal operating condition. The ICT multiplication factor
individually for HV & LV shall be calculated by formula given below:
Current read by relay = HV current at lowest tap in amp * ICT multiplication factor
HV bushing CT ratio
Spill over Current in amp = Current read by relay – 5
To allow the relay and CT errors, the % differential current further increased by a factor of 1.25.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Under normal working conditions, the ‘PROTECTION HEALTHY LED’ provided in the front panel
of the relay glows green. The same LED turns amber to recognize any fault inside the relay
itself.
Following are certain guidelines for the relay to identify the nature of fault and necessary
checking procedures to be adopted at site so that relay can be rectified suitably.
OVERVIEW
The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is designed for use with the data transmission between IED’s like
protection equipment and control systems. The protocol defines application service data units which
specify the message layout and contents, and describing the situations in which messages are sent.
The companion standard IEC 60870-5-103 is derived from the IEC 60870-5 protocol standard
definition and specifies a functional profile for basic tele control tasks. The IEC 60870-5 protocol
stack is based on the reduced reference model called “Enhanced Performance Architecture” (EPA).
This architecture includes only three layers of the ISO OSI model: the physical layer, link layer and
application layer. Either a fiber optic system or copper wire based transmission system is used in
this companion standard between the protection equipment and the control system.
The copper wire based transmission shall comply with the EIA RS-485 standard. Due to the
characteristics of the EIA RS-485 standard a maximum number of 32 units of load can be connected
to one physical line.
1.4 INITIALIZATION
When the IED is connected to the communication system or if the communication parameters have
been changed, a reset command is required to initialize the entire communications. A reset to the
communication function is affected by means of a reset command from the control system. This is
generally transmitted by the control system when:
ALIND has implemented the IEC 60870-5 Tele-control Companion Standard 103 in the ANTD 201
for communication with a controlling system. The IEC 60870-5 Tele-control Companion Standard
TMW Test harness test set can be used as a communication protocol for exchanging information
between Control Centre(s) (controlling station) and their substations (controlled station(s)). The
information exchanged can be for status messages and commands.
The physical layer defines the hardware-dependent specifications of the IEC 60870-5-103
communication interface.
The application layer defines the information elements for structuring application data and the
communication service functions.
Mode 1 (Least significant octet first), as defined in clause 4.10 of IEC 60870-5-4, is used exclusively
in this companion standard.

In digital protection equipment, analogue currents and voltages are sampled with given
sampling rates, to be processed by the protection functions. Additionally, these samples may be
stored in order to be a basis for a disturbance recorder function.
In the protection equipment, disturbance recording includes:
• Analogue values (disturbance values), digitally coded as currents IL1, IL2, IL3, IN and
voltages VL1, VL2, VL3, VEN;
• Binary values (indications), recorded as tags, for example start/pick-up and trip indications.
• The transfer functionality is based on the Disturbance recorder function. The analog and
binary signals recorded will be reported to the master by polling. The two hundred disturbances
(customized) that are recorded are available for transfer to the master.
• The data function blocks include the function type and the information number for each
channel. The analog channels, that are reported, are those connected to the disturbance
function blocks. The two hundred disturbance are belongs to the private range because of
customization and transfers the multiples of 20 latest list of disturbance records.
• In Disturbance recordings the following elements are used in the ASDUs (Application Service
Data Units) defined in the standard. Analog signals, 4-channels (MAX): the channel number for
each channel has to be specified. Channels used in the public range are 1 to 8 i.e.

ASDU, Tags are the digital signals, the IED (Protection Equipment) contains a maximum of 32
digital Tags, and the information element includes Function type, Information number, and
Fault number along with the tag position.
Information sent in the disturbance upload is specified by the standard; however, some of the
information handlings are customized in-order to meet customer requirements. This section
describes all data that is not exactly as specified in the standard.
Generic disturbance order command allows the selection of fault, function type of specific relays
and most importantly it consists of Type of order command (TOO).The TOO command has
specific task like it can poll different ASDU’s with a positive or negative acknowledgement.
TOO specifies the type of order, for example selection, request, and abort of transmission of
disturbance data, channels, tags, and list of recorded disturbances.

1.4 INITIALIZATION
When the IED is connected to the communication system or if the communication parameters have
been changed, a reset command is required to initialize the entire communications. A reset to the
communication function is affected by means of a reset command from the control system. This is
generally transmitted by the control system when:
The Instruction/Command that is given to change the state of the IED through Master via ASDU 20,
after executing one command, the relay sends an acknowledgement message, which contains the
result of command execution. If a state change is the consequence of the command, it must be sent in
an ASDU 1 with COT 1, 9. If the relay receives another command message from the master station
before sending the Acknowledgement message, it will be discarded. Commands which are not
processed by the relay are rejected with a negative acknowledgement message.
ALIND has implemented the IEC 60870-5 Tele-control Companion Standard 103 in the ANTD 401
for communication with a controlling system. The IEC 60870-5 Tele-control Companion Standard
TMW Test harness test set can be used as a communication protocol for exchanging information

In digital protection equipment, analogue currents and voltages are sampled with given
sampling rates, to be processed by the protection functions. Additionally, these samples may be
stored in order to be a basis for a disturbance recorder function.
In the protection equipment, disturbance recording includes:
• Analogue values (disturbance values), digitally coded as currents IL1, IL2, IL3, IN and
voltages VL1, VL2, VL3, VEN;
• Binary values (indications), recorded as tags, for example start/pick-up and trip indications.
• The transfer functionality is based on the Disturbance recorder function. The analog and
binary signals recorded will be reported to the master by polling. The two hundred disturbances
(customized) that are recorded are available for transfer to the master.
• The data function blocks include the function type and the information number for each
channel. The analog channels, that are reported, are those connected to the disturbance
function blocks. The two hundred disturbance are belongs to the private range because of
customization and transfers the multiples of 20 latest list of disturbance records.
• In Disturbance recordings the following elements are used in the ASDUs (Application Service
Data Units) defined in the standard. Analog signals, 4-channels (MAX): the channel number for
each channel has to be specified. Channels used in the public range are 1 to 8 i.e.
CHANNEL(ACC)

FUN 1 Ir
FUN 2 Iy
FUN 3 Ib
FUN 4 Ie / I
FUN 5 V1
FUN 6 V2
FUN 7 V3
FUN 8 Vn/V4
#Some Relays channels were customized in-order to meet compatibility with Master
application software
• After analog channel transmission the Tags (digital channels) are transmitted through another
ASDU, Tags are the digital signals, the IED (Protection Equipment) contains a maximum of 32
digital Tags, and the information element includes Function type, Information number, and
Fault number along with the tag position.
Information sent in the disturbance upload is specified by the standard; however, some of the
information handlings are customized in-order to meet customer requirements. This section
describes all data that is not exactly as specified in the standard.
Generic disturbance order command allows the selection of fault, function type of specific relays
and most importantly it consists of Type of order command (TOO).The TOO command has
specific task like it can poll different ASDU’s with a positive or negative acknowledgement.
TOO specifies the type of order, for example selection, request, and abort of transmission of
disturbance data, channels, tags, and list of recorded disturbances. The following ranges of TOO
are used with the different ASDUs:
