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withdrawn unnecessarily.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If the cards are withdrawn for testing, ensure proper positioning while replacing.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.
Storage temperature: -25ºC to +55ºC.

INTERNAL SYSTEM LEVEL ARCHITECTURE
The internal system level architecture of relay including card to card architecture in brief is shown below.
1.DSP Controller
The 32bit MCU (Digital Signal Controller) machine that combines the control advantages of a high-
performance 32-bit microcontroller with the high computation speed of a fully implemented Digital Signal
Processor (DSP).
The MCU controller continuously monitors the currents. 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 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.
3. Power Supply Module

This module gives the necessary regulated voltages like +5V, -5V, and +24V to various cards in the
module. The normal operating voltage range is 45 VDC to 170 VDC. The +24V is used for driving the output
relays in the I/O card and O/P relay card. The +5V and -5V is supplied to the processor, I/O card and
Display PCB for normal relay operations. The isolated +5V is dedicated to the communication ports of the
relay.

DESCRIPTION OF PROTECTION FUNCTIONS

1. Instantaneous Over Current Protection
In instantaneous over current protection, relay operates without intentional time delay. Its operating time is with in
20ms for 5 times of fault current.
2. IDMT Over Current Protection
Inverse time over-current Relay is one in which the time of actuation of Relay decreases as the fault current
increases. The more the fault current the lesser will be the time of operation of the Relay.
For Standard inverse characteristics, as per IEC trip time is as follows
t = (TMS*K) / ((PSM)α -1)
Where, t = Operating time in second

TMS = Time multiplier setting
PSM=Fault Current/Relay Setting Current
The values of coefficients K and α for the different curves are as seen in table below
Relay Operating Characteristics K α

Inverse/3 Sec delay 0.14 0.02
Very Inverse 13.5 1
Extremely Inverse 80 2
Long Time Inverse 120 1
Other than IEC curves the following characteristics also available in the module
1. Restricted Inverse curve
t = TMS/ (0.339- (0.238/PSM))

Where,
TMS= Time Multiplier Setting (TMS)
t = Operating time in second
PSM=Fault Current/Relay Current Setting
2. 1.3 Second Delay Curve
t = 1.3*TMS/log[PSM]
Where,
TMS= Time Multiplier Setting (TMS)
t = Operating time in second
PSM=Fault Current/Plug Setting
3. Definite Time Over Current Protection

This element gives protection during over load condition. This helps to utilize the maximum capacity of
transformer.
RELAYS DIVISION
4. Earth Fault Protection/ REF

Relay consists of separate input for monitoring earth fault current. During normal load and through fault condition,
current read by relay is zero, but when there is an unbalance in phases the relay will trip instantly. Its operating time
is with in 30ms for 5 times of fault current.
5. Trip Circuit Supervision

Relay consists of two numbers of trip circuit supervisions (Post close and pre close). The relay continuously
monitors the tripping coil DC (110V –ve) supply through the NC or NO contacts of the Circuit breaker in both
open & closed condition. If any discontinuity is observed, the relay generates alarm signal.

OVERVIEW
IEC 60870-5-103 is a standard for power system control and associated communications. It defines a
companion standard that enables interoperability between protection equipment and devices of a
control system in a substation. The device complying with this standard can send the information
using two methods for data transfer - either using the explicitly specified application service data
units (ASDU) or using generic services for transmission of all the possible information.
The IEC 60870-5 protocol is based on the three-layer reference model ‘Enhanced Performance
Architecture’ (EPA), as specified in clause 4 of IEC 60870-5-3. The physical layer copper-wire
based system that provides binary symmetric and memoryless transmission.
The link layer consists of a number of link transmission procedures, using explicit Link Protocol
Control Information (LPCI), that are capable of carrying Application Service Data Units (ASDUs)
as link user data. The link layer uses a selection of frame formats to provide the required integrity,
efficiency, and convenience of transmission.
The application layer contains a number of application functions that involve the transmission of
Application Service Data Units (ASDUs) between source and destination.
The application layer of this companion standard does not use explicit Application Protocol
Control Information (APCI). This is implicit in the contents of the ASDU Data Unit Identifier and in
the type of link service used.
PHYSICAL LAYER
Connection is possible with IEC 60870-5-103 via rear RS485 port of relay as seen in figure 1 below.
