Application The overvoltage, under voltage and residualvoltage relay SPAU 320 C is intended to be usedfor the supervision of the residual voltage as wellas for the overvoltage and under voltage of the

busbar system. The relay forms an integratedprotection consisting of three measuring relaymodules. The residual voltage of the busbar sys-tem is measured by the dual-stage overvoltagerelay module SPCU 1C6. The overvoltage and

undervoltage of the busbar system is supervisedby two voltage relay modules SPCU 1C1, eachof which is provided with an overvoltage andan undervoltage stage. By means of an optional

bus connection module the relay can be con-nected to the fibre-optic SPA bus for serial datacommunication with substation level equip-ment.

Description of

operation

When the residual voltage of the busbar systemexceeds the setting value of the lower stage ofthe residual voltage module SPCU 1C6, theovervoltage stage starts and simultaneously startsthe corresponding timing circuit. When the settime has elapsed, the module delivers a trippingsignal. The higher stage of the residual voltagemodule operates in the same way. When thesetting value of the stage has been exceeded itstarts, simultaneously starting its timing circuitand performs tripping when the set time haselapsed.

When the voltage measured by the voltage re-lay module SPCU 1C1 exceeds the setting valueof the overvoltage stage, the overvoltage stagestarts and performs a tripping when the set timedelay has elapsed. When the voltage measuredby the module falls below the setting value ofthe undervoltage stage, the timing circuit of theundervoltage stage starts. When the set timedelay has expired tripping is performed by the

stage.

Since the protective relay comprises two identi-cal voltage relay modules SPCU 1C1, theovervoltage and undervoltage protection of thebusbar system can be implemented as a dual-stage protection.

To prevent unnecessary operations during anauto-reclose cycle, starting and tripping of theundervoltage stage of the overvoltage and under-voltage modules SPCU 1C1 can be blocked byturning switch SGl/5 on the front panel intothe position 1. This measure prevents any op-eration of the U < stage, if the measured voltagefalls below the value of 0.2 x Un (see fig. 1) .

Tripping of the undervoltage stage alone maybe blocked by linking an external blocking sig-nal to the relay.

NOTE!To enable the blocking function, switch 5 ofswitchgroup SGB on the PC board of the volt-

age relay module SPCU 1C1 has to be in posi-tion 1.

The voltage measured by the over- and under-current modules is connected to terminals 13-14 when the rated voltage of the secondary cir-cuits is 100 V. If the rated voltage is 110 V, thevoltage to be measured is connected to termi-nals 13-15.

The voltage measured by the residual voltagemodule is connected to terminals 28-29 or 28-30, depending on the rated voltage of the sec-ondary circuits, 100 V or 110 V.

Tripping of the under voltage stage of the un-der voltage and overvoltage modules can beblocked by connecting an external blocking sig-nal, BS1, to terminals 10-11.

The auxiliary supply voltage is connected to ter-minals 61-62. At d.c. auxiliary supply voltagethe positive lead is connected to terminal 61.The level of the voltage to be applied on theterminals is determined by the power supply

module used in the protection scheme. For fur-ther details see the description of the power sup-ply module. The auxiliary voltage is marked onthe front panel.

The tripping signals from the measuring mod-ules are provided by output relay A. The signalsto be linked to output relay A are selected bymeans of the switches SGR/1, 2, 3 and 4 at thefront edge of the output relay module. Switch 1is used for selecting the trippings of the over-voltage stage of the voltage modules SPCU 1C1

and switch 2 for selecting the trippings of theundervoltage stage. The tripping signals fromthe operating stages of the residual voltage mod-ule are programmed with switches 3 and 4.

Tripping of the high-set stage of the residualvoltage module causes an alarm signal throughoutput relay B. Further, the tripping signals fromthe overvoltage modules are linked to this out-

put relay via switch SGR/5, and the trippingsignals from the undervoltage stage via switchSGR/6.

Output relay provides an alarm signal at trip-ping of the overvoltage stage of both voltagemodules SPCU 1C1. Further, the starting sig-nals of these operating stages can be pro-grammed to output relay C by means of switchSGR/7.

In the same way output relay D provides an alarmsignal at tripping of the undervoltage stage of bothovervoltage and undervoltage modules. Startingof the under voltage stages provides an alarm sig-nal through switch SGR/8.

Tripping of the lower operating stage of the re-sidual voltage module provides an alarm signalthrough output relay E.

Output relay F, terminals 70-71-72, operates as

the output relay of the self-supervision systemof the entire relay assembly. The relay operateson the closed circuit principle so that in normalservice conditions the contact gap 70-72 isclosed. If a fault is descovered by the self-super-vision system, or if there is a failure in the aux-iliary supply, the output relay drops off provid-ing an alarm signal by closing the NC) contact71-72.

The feeder protection is interfaced with the datatransmission bus through a 9-pole, so called D-

type connector located in the centre of the rearpanel of the protective relay. By using a match-ing module, SPA ZC1, the protective relay canbe linked to a fibre-optic bus. The terminals ofthe fibre-optic cables are connected to the coun-ter terminals Rx and Tx on the matching mod-ule. The fibre-optic cables are linked from oneprotection to another as well as to the controldata communicator, e.g. SACO 100M.

3. The front panels of both relay modules areprovided with a numerical display for indi-cation of measured and set values, two push-buttons marked STEP and RESET, a pro-gramming switchgroup SG1 for selection ofrelay functions and four setting knobs for op-eration values. The STEP push-button canbe used for scanning through the measuredand set values of the module and for presen-tation of the values concerned on the displayof the module. The RESET push-button isused for resetting locally the red operationindicators for tripping. An unreset operationindicator does not affect the operation of therelay module and thus, the module is constan-tely operative.

4. The front panels of the relay modules are pro-vided with a red LED used as a self-supervi-sion alarm indicator IRF which indicates thatthe self-supervision system has detected a per-manent fault in the protection relay. Further,

the relay modules are provided with separateLED indicators on the front panel for indi-cation of the measured residual and phase-to-phase voltages.

5. The cover of the protection relay case is madeof transparent, UV-stabilized polycarbonatepolymer and provided with three push-but-tons for scanning of the relay parameters bymeans of the separate displays of the mod-ules and the STEP push-buttons inside thecover. To enable resetting of the modules by

means of the RESET push-buttons, the coverof the relay case must be opened using thelocking screws for the case.

Detailed operation instructions are given in themanuals describing the individual relay mod-ules and in the document "General characteris-tics of C-type relay modules".

2. The relay modules are provided with twooperating stages and each stage has its ownyellow/red LED operation indicator. The op-eration indicator goes on with a yellow lightwhen the operation stage starts and with ared light, if the stage delivers a tripping sig-nal as well. The LED indicators can be givenself-reset or manual reset mode of operation.Normally, when the stage resets, the red op-eration indicator remains lit after being

switched on to indicate by which stage thetripping was initiated.

Power supply

module

The power supply module is located behind thesystem front panel of the relay together withthe output relay module. The supply module isa separate relay module and can be withdrawnafter removal of the system front panel. Thepower supply module produces the voltages re-quired by the relay modules from the auxiliarysupply voltage.

There are two types of power supply modules,differing only in input voltage:

SPGU 240 A1:Nominal voltage Un = 110/120/230/240 V ac

Un = 110/125/220 V dcOperative range U = 80...265 V ac/dc

SPGU 48 B2:Nominal voltage Un = 24/48/60 V dcOperative range U = 18...80 V dc

The power supply type is marked on the systemfront panel.

The power supply module is a transformer con-nected, i.e. galvanically separated primary andsecondary circuits, flyback type rectifier. Theprimary circuit is protected by a fuse F1, 1A(slow) in SPGU 240 A1 and 4A (fast) in SPGU48 B2, which are located on the printed circuitboard of the module.

When the power supply is on, a green LED in-dicator Uauxis lit on the system panel. The su-pervision of the supply voltages for the electron-ics is located on the regulating modules. Theself-supervision alarm is given, if any of the sec-ondary voltages differ more than 25% from thenominal value. Also, if the power supply mod-ule is missing, or if there is no auxiliary supplyto the voltage regulator at all, an alarm is given.

Output relay

module

The output relay module SPTR 6B3 is locatedbehind the system front panel of the relay to-gether with the power supply module. The out-put relay module forms its own withdrawablerelay module after removal of the system front

plate. The module contains all output relays,A...F, the control circuits of the relays as well asthe electronic circuitry of the external controlinputs.

The input and output signals of the output re-lay module are related to the fixed positions ofthe relay modules which cannot be changed inthe relay housing. The output signals from eachrelay module and PC-board location are wiredindividually to the output relay module. It must

be pointed out that the relay modules have tobe plugged into the relay case as illustrated inthe figure on the front page in order to securethat the connection diagram drawn for the re-lay assembly also would correspond to the physi-cal function of the protective device.

The voltage module U1 (SPCU 1C6) measuresthe residual voltage of the open-delta windingof the voltage transformers of the busbar sys-tem. An earth-fault occuring in a section of agalvanically connected network, produces a re-sidual voltage, the level of which is higher, thesmaller the resistance of the earth-fault point.

The lower stage of the residual voltage moduleU1 can be given either a signalling or a trippingfunction. When the stage has a tripping func-tion, as illustrated in fig. 7, the value of the start-ing voltage is set above the setting of the earth-fault relays of the feeders. Then the module actsas a back-up protection for the feeders and tripsthe circuit-breaker of the incoming cubicle, if,for some reason, the earth-fault protection ofthe feeder would not operate.

The higher stage of the module U1 has a trip-ping function. This stage is used mainly for the

earth-fault protection of the busbar system andthe back-up protection for the outgoing feedersat earth-faults with very low resistances. Thehigher voltage stage also operates as the earth-fault protection of the incoming cubicle, if thetripping signal is linked to the circuit-breakerof the overvoltage side of the supply transformer,see fig. 7. The same operating time is selectedfor both stages of the residual voltage module.The tripping signals from the two stages are re-ceived over output relay A, by means of switchesSGR/3 and 4. In addition, the tripping signalof the higher stage is also received over outputrelay B. The alarm signal for earth-fault is pro-vided by output relay E.

The voltage relay modules U2 and U3 (SPCU1C1) measure the main voltage, thus operatingas overvoltage and undervoltage protections.The operating principle of the protection is il-lustrated in fig. 8.

The operation of the overvoltage protection maybe based on the principle that when the voltagetends to be too high, an alarm signal is providedby the overvoltage stage of module U2, andwhen the voltage level continues to grow, thestage performs tripping. The overvoltage stageof module U3 operates as an instantaneous high-set stage.

The overvoltage withstand capability of theequipment to be connected to the network isreciprocally proportional to the magnitude ofthe overvoltage. This makes the inverse timecharacteristic well adapted for the overvoltagestage of module U2. At an inverse time modeof operation the protection provides an alarmsignal when the voltage level reaches the setvalue. If the voltage exceeds the setting value by6%, the relay performs tripping after a timedelay depending on the overvoltage. The oper-ating characteristic A allows a relatively lowalarm limit to be selected, and yet, the operat-

ing time will be long enough for the voltageregulator to operate also at large voltage fluc-tuations. The operation of the instantaneoushigh-set stage is based on a definite time char-acteristic.

The operation of the undervoltage protectionmay be based on the principle that the under-voltage stage of module U2 initially provides

an alarm signal, and if the under voltage situa-tion persists, it performs tripping. The under-voltage stage of module U3 operates as an in-stantaneous high-set stage.

The undervoltage stage starts in a short circuitsituation as well. The best way of obtaining se-lectivity is to select a definite time characteris-tic for both the undervoltage protection and theshort circuit protection. Another alternative isto use the inverse time characteristic for bothundervoltage protection and short circuit pro-tection.

Groundless operation of the undervoltage pro-tection due to auto-reclosures is prevented bymeans of switch SG1 /5. When turning SG1 /5into the position 1, the undervoltage stage isprevented from operating, if the voltage falls toless than 20% of Un.

The tripping signals from the overvoltage pro-

tection are received over the output relays A andB, switches SGR/1 and 5, whereas the trippingsignals from the undervoltage protection is re-ceived over output relay C, switch SGR/7. Out-put relay C also provides an alarm signal atovervoltage. The alarm signal for undervoltageis received over output relay D, switch SGR/8,as is the alarm signal for tripping.

Example 2.Supervision ofsubstation busbarsystem voltages

Another example of how to arrange the super-vision of the busbar system voltages is illustratedin fig. 9, where the supervision is based on theuse of the residual voltage module SPCU 1C6and only one overvoltage/undervoltage moduleSPCU 1C1 .

The lower stage of the residual voltage moduleU1 has been used as a signalling earth-fault pro-tection, and thus the stage has been given a moresensitive setting than the earth-fault relays ofthe feeders. In this way also high resistance earth-faults are indicated. The alarm signal is receivedover output relay E.

The higher voltage stage of the residual voltagemodule has a tripping function. The higher stageoperates as the back-up protection for the earth-fault protections of the outgoing feeders and asthe earth-fault protection of the busbar system.

The tripping signals from the overvoltage andundervoltage protection and from the higherstage of the residual voltage module is linkedonly to the circuit-breaker of the undervoltageside of the supply transformer, via output relayA (switches SGR/1, 2 and 4). A common alarmsignal for tripping is received from output relayB, switches SGR/5 and 6. This system is espe-cially well adapted to be used with reportingsystems with serial communication facilities.Then a detailed information about the functioncausing the tripping, including time markings,is provided by the substation level reporting sys-tem.

Information about starting of the overvoltageor undervoltage stage is received over the out-put relays C and D, switches SGR/7 and 8. Byusing short starting times, the output relays canbe used for supervising the voltage regulatorequipment. Output relay C prevents the tap-changer from stepping down and output relay

D prevents it from stepping up.

The residual voltage module U1 measures theresidual voltage in the open-delta winding ofthe voltage transformers. The lower stage of theresidual voltage module may be used for releas-ing the neutral current relays of the feeders.When an earth-fault occurs in a feeder, boththe neutral current relay of the feeder and thelower stage of the residual voltage relay of thebusbar system must start to enable tripping ofthe circuit-breaker. In this manner groundlessoperations of the neutral current relay areavoided in short-circuit situations, at motorstart-ups or in normal service conditions.

The higher stage of the residual voltage moduleU1 is used for the earth-fault protection of thebusbar system and for the back-up protectionof the feeder protections. In order to make theprotection operate selectively, the setting valuesare selected above the setting values of the feederrelays.

The overvoltage stage of the U2 module oper-ates as the overvoltage protection for motors,transformers and similar equipment connectedto the busbar system. The operation of the stagecan be given an inverse time characteristic, inwhich case the use of curve B allows a relativelyhigh starting value to be set, without causingtoo long a tripping time at high overvoltages.

The undervoltage stage of module U2 opens thecircuit-breakers of the motors connected to thebusbar system, and so the motors are preventedfrom starting simultaneously when the voltagereturns. To avoid motor trippings at short volt-age interruptions, the operating time of theundervoltage stage is to be longer than the deadtime of an auto-reclose sequence.

To prevent unnecessary tripping of the under-voltage protection at tripping of a miniaturecircuit-breaker, a blocking voltage is applied onthe relay, over the auxiliary contact of the mini-ature circuit-breaker. Then switch 5 of switch-group SGB on the PC board of the overvoltageand under voltage module must be in the posi-tion 1.

Output relay A operates as the tripping relay ofthe circuit-breaker of the incoming cubicle. Therelay is controlled by the higher stage of the re-sidual voltage relay by means of switch SGR/4

and by the overvoltage protection by means ofswitch SGR/1. Output relay B provides an alarmsignal when tripping has been caused by earth-fault, and output C provides an alarm signal attripping due to overvoltage and starting of theovervoltage stage, switch SGR/7. Output relayD is used for disconnecting motors in an under-voltage situation and output relay E for releas-ing the earth-fault relays of the feeders.

Analysis of

disturbances

The data stored in the registers of the measur-

ing modules provides useful information aboutthe behaviour of the network both in a normalservice situation and at disturbances.

The registers 2 and 4 of the overvoltage/under-voltage module SPCU 1 C1 show the normalfluctuation range of the busbar voltage. Regis-ters 5 and 6 show the frequency of the occur-rence of a large voltage fluctuation, that is howoften the voltage relay module has started.

The information stored in the registers 1 and 3,and 7 and 8 contributes to the analysis of thesituation at a disturbance. Information aboutthe voltage level occurring in a fault situationand how close to tripping the voltage relay wasis recorded in the registers.

A general view of the situation when an earth-fault occurs in a substation is provided by theregisters of the residual voltage module SPCU

1C6. Registers 2 and 3 show the number of

startings of the different stages and, further, thedistribution of the earth-faults with regard tothe fault resistances.

The smallest fault resistance, at which the earth-fault is extinguished by itself or due to auto-reclose functions may be determined on the basisof the information in register 1. By using thelower stage of the residual voltage module for asignalling function and by setting the operat-ing time at the same value as the delay for thefinal tripping of the feeder earth-fault relay thefault resistance of the fault that caused trippingcan be determined by means of register 1, asthe total earth-fault current of the galvanicallyconnected network is known.

Data on the duration of the earth-fault or the safetymargin for the time gradings of the selective pro-tections is received from registers 4 and 5.

When the overvoltage, undervoltage and re-sidual voltage relay SPAU 320 C is operatingunder the conditions specified in "Technicaldata", the relay requires practically no mainte-nance. The voltage relay includes no parts orcomponents that are sensitive to physical or elec-trical wear under normal operating conditions.

Should the temperature and humidity at theoperating site differ from the values specified,or the atmosphere contain chemically activegases or dust, the relay should be visually in-spected in association with the secondary test-ing of the relay. This visual inspection shouldfocus on:

- Signs of mechanical damage to relay case andterminals

- Collection of dust inside the relay case; removewith compressed air

- Signs of corrosion on terminals, case or insidethe relay

Maintenance

and repair

If the relay malfunctions or the operating val-ues differ from those specified, the relay shouldbe overhauled. Minor measures can be taken bythe customer but any major repair involving theelectronics has to be carried out by the manu-facturer. Please contact the manufacturer or hisnearest representative for further informationabout checking, overhaul and recalibration ofthe relay.

The protection relay contains circuits sensitiveto electrostatic discharge. If you have to with-draw a relay module, ensure that you are at thesame potential as the module, for instance, bytouching the case.

Note!Protective relays are measuring instruments andshould be handled with care and protectedagainst moisture and mechanical stress, espe-cially during transport.

Description of

operation

The residual overvoltage relay module typeSPCU 1C6 is used in a variety of different pro-tection relay units where it constitutes a non-directional general earth-fault protection mod-ule which measures the residual voltage of theelectrical power system.

The residual overvoltage module contains twoovervoltage stages,that is a low-set stage U0> anda high-set stage U

0>>.

The low-set or high-set voltage stage starts ifthe measured voltage exceeds the set start valueof the stage concerned. When starting, the con-cerned stage delivers a starting signal SS1 or SS2and simultaneously the operation indicator ofthe stage is lit with yellow colour. If the over-voltage situation lasts long enough to exceed theset operation delay, the stage that started alsooperates generating a trip signal, TS1 alt. TS2.The operation indicator of the stage that oper-ated turns red. The start and operation indica-

tors are provided with memory control, whichmeans that they can be given the self-reset orthe latching mode of operation. The latchingindicators are reset with the RESET push-but-ton on the front panel or by means of the com-mand V101 or V102 via the serial port.

The tripping of the low-set overvoltage stageU0> can be blocked by routing a blocking sig-nal BTS1 to the low-set stage. Similarly, the trip-ping of the high-set stage U0>> is blocked by ablocking signal BTS2. The blocking signals are

routed by means of switchgroup SGB on thePC board of the relay module.

The setting range of the operation time t> ofthe low-set overvoltage stage U0> is selected withswitches SG1/1 and SG1/2. Three setting rangesare available.

Switches SG1/7 and SG1/8 are used for select-ing the setting range for the operation time t>>of the high-set stage U0>>. Three setting rangesare available.

The setting range of the start value of the low-set stage U0> is selected with switch SG1/5. Twosetting ranges are available, that is 2...20% x Unand 10...100% x Un.

The setting range of the start value of the high-set stage U0>> is selected with switch SG1/6. Twosetting ranges are available, that is 2...16% x Unor 10...80% x Un.

The operation of the two operating stages isprovided with a so called latching facility, whichmeans that the operation output is kept alerted,although the signal which caused the operationdisappears. The latching function is selectedwith switch SG1/4. The latched output and theoutput relay can be reset in three different ways;(i) by pressing push buttons STEP and RESETsimultaneously, (ii) via the serial inter-face us-ing the command V101 or (iii) via the serialinterface using the command V102. When al-ternative (ii) is used all recorded information is

maintained but if the alternatives (i) or (iii) isused the recorded information is erased.

The residual voltage signal input is providedwith an effective filter by means of whichhamonics of the measured residual voltage issuppressed, see Fig. 1.

Operation

indicators

Both voltage stages have their own yellow/redLED indicators. Yellow light indicates startingof the concerned overvoltage stage and red lightindicates that the overvoltage stage has operated.

The four LED indicators can, independently ofone another, be given a non-latching or a latch-ing mode of operation. The latching mode

means that the indicator remains lit after beingswitched on, although the overvoltage stage,which controls the indicator, resets. If, for in-stance, the yellow start indicator is given thelatching mode and the red indicator the non-latching mode, the yellow indicator is lit, whenthe stage starts, which then turns red if and whenthe stage operates. When the overvoltage stageresets only the yellow indicator remains lit. Theindicators, which have been given the latchingmode, are reset locally by pushing the RESETpush-button or by remote control over the SPAbus using the command V102.

An unreset operation indicator does not affectthe protective functions of the relay module.

The self-supervision alarm indicator IRF indi-cates that the self-supervision system has de-tected a permanent internal relay fault. The in-dicator is lit with red light shortly after the faulthas been detected. At the same time the relay

module puts forward a control signal to the self-supervision system output relay of the protec-tion relay unit.

Additionally, in most fault cases, a fault codeshowing the nature of the fault appears on thedisplay of the module. The fault code, consist-ing of a red number one (1) and a green three-digit code number, indicates what type of in-ternal fault that has been detected. When a faultmessage appears, the fault code should be noteddown for later use when relay overhaul or re-pair is to be carried out.

Settings The setting values are shown by the threerightmost digits of the display. A LED indica-

tor below the setting knob shows, when lit,which setting value is presented on the display.

U0>/Un Start voltage value of the U0> stage, expressed as a percentage of the rated voltageof the energizing input used. The setting range is 2...20% x Un when SG1/5 = 0,and 10...100% x Un when SG1/5 = 1.

t> [s] Operate time of the U0> stage, expressed in seconds. The setting range is deter-mined by the position of switches SG1/1 and SG1/2. Selectable operate time set-

ting ranges 0.05...1.00 s, 0.5...10.0 s and 5...100 s.

U0>>/Un Start voltage value of the U0>> stage, expressed as a percentage of the rated voltageof the energizing input used. The setting range is 10...80% x Un when SG1/6 = 0,and 2...16% x Un when SG1/6 = 1. The setting, infinite, (displayed as - - -) setsthe high-set stage U0>> out of operation.

t>> [s] Operate time of the U0>> stage, expressed in seconds. The required setting range,0.05...1.00 s, 0.5...10.0 s or 5.00...100 s, is selected with switches SG1/7 andSG1/8.

Further, the checksum of the selector switch-group SG1 is shown on the display when theLED indicator below the switchgroup is lit. Bymeans of the displayed checksum and thechecksum manually calculated the proper op-

eration of the switchgroup SG1 can be verified.An example of how the checksum is calculatedis shown in the manual "General characteristicsof C type relay modules".

Selector switches Additional functions required by individualapplications are selected by means of the func-tion selector switches of switchgroup SG1 lo-cated on the front panel. The numbering of the

switches, 1...8, as well as the switch positions 0and 1 are marked on the relay module frontpanel.

Switchgroup SG2 is a so called software switch-group, which is located in the third submenuof switchgroup SG1. The mode of operation,i.e. self-reset or manually reset, of the LED in-

dicators U0> and U0>> is determined by theswitches of switchgroup SG2. The mode of op-

eration can be separately set for each indicator.The mode of operation is set by means of thechecksum, which can be calculated from thefollowing table. Normally the start indications

are self-reset and the operation indicationsmanually reset.

parameters

Event codes

The substation level control data communica-tor is able to read, over the SPA serial bus, theevent messages of the relay module, e.g. startand trip messages, from the residual overvoltagerelay module SPCU 1C6. The events can beprinted out in the format: time (ss.sss) and eventcode. The event codes of the relay module areE1...E8 , E50 and E51. Additional event codesrelating to the data communication are gener-ated by the data communication equipment.

The event codes E1...E8 and the events repre-sented by these can be included in or excludedfrom the event reporting by writing, via the SPAbus, an event mask (V155) to the relay module.The event mask is a binary number coded to adecimal number. The event codes E1...E8 arerepresented by the numbers 1, 2, 4...128. The

event mask is formed by multiplying the abovenumbers either with 0, event not included or 1,event included in reporting and by adding theproducts, see instructions for checksum calcu-lation.

The event mask may take a value within therange 0...255. The default value of the residualovervoltage relay module SPCU 1C6 is 85,which means that any start or operation eventis included in the reporting, but no resettings.The event codes E50...E54 and the events rep-resented by these cannot be excluded from thereporting.

Data to betransferred overthe serial bus

In addition to the event code data transfer, theinput data (I data), output data (O data), set-ting values (S), memorized data (V data) andsome other data can be read from the relay

module over the serial communication bus.Further, part of the data can be changed overthe SPA bus by separate commands. All datainformation is available in channel 0.

The data transfer codes L, B, C and T have beenreserved for the event data transfer between therelay module and the control data communi-cator.

The event register can be read by the L com-mand only once. Should a fault occur, for ex-ample, in the data transfer, it is possible, by us-ing the B command, to re-read the contents ofthe event register once already read by means ofthe L command. When required, the B com-mand can be repeated.

The setting values S1...S5 are the alerted setvalues currently used by the protection relaymodule. These values are set either by remotecontrol or by means of the setting knobs. Thevalues S11...S15 are set with the setting knobsand the selector switches. Variables S21...S25are set as percentage values via remote control.

The settings S21...S25 allow reading or writ-ing. A condition for writing is that the pass-word V160, for remote setting has been opened.The variables S31...S35 contain the remote set-ting values.

When the values of the variables S21...S24 areto be changed, the variables can be given a per-centage factor within the range 0...999. It ispossible to alter a setting value beyond the set-ting ranges specified in the technical data of therelay module. However, the validity of the set-ting values are guaranteed only within the set-ting ranges specified in the technical data.

Activation of the self-supervision function(V165) prevents the relay module from operat-ing as long as the self-supervision output is ac-tivated and the IRF indicator is lit.


39/68

Fault codes Once the self-supervision system has detected apermanent relay fault, the IRF LED on the frontpanel of the module is lit, and at the same timethe normally operated signal relay of the self-supervision system drops off.

In most fault situations an auto-diagnostic faultcode is shown on the relay display. The faultcode cannot be reset. The fault code consists of

a red digit one (1) and a green code numberthat indicates the fault type. The fault codeshould be recorded and stated when service isordered.

The fault codes of the residual overvoltage relaymodule SPCU 1C6 are explained in the follow-ing table:

The combined overvoltage and undervoltagerelay module SPCU 1C1 contains an over-voltage stage and an undervoltage stage. Theovervoltage stage and the undervoltage stage canbe given either definite time or inverse timecharacteristic.

If the voltage measured by the module exceedsthe set start value of the U> stage, the moduledelivers a start signal SS1 after the set start timehas expired. The start time of the U> stage isselected by means of switches SG1/1 and SG1/2,and four alternative values are available. Afterthe preset operate time t>, or at inverse timecharacteristic, after a time depending on thelevel of the overvoltage, the overvoltage stageoperates delivering a trip signal TS1.

The operation characteristic of the U> stage, i.e.definite time or inverse time characteristic, isselected with switch SG1/3. At definite timecharacteristic the setting range of the operate

time is selected with switches SG1/4. At inversetime characteristic two different sets of voltage/time curves, called A and B, can be selected withswitch SG1/4.

If the voltage measured by the module fallsbelow the set start value of the U< stage, themodule delivers a start signal SS2 after the setoperate time has expired. The start time of theU< stage is selected by means of switch SG1/8,and two alternative values are available. Afterthe preset operate time t

Recorded

information

The leftmost red digit displays the register ad-dress and the other three digits the recordedinformation.

Register/ Recorded informationSTEP

1 The highest voltage value measured during the start sequence as a multiple of therated voltage of the relay energizing input. Any overvoltage stage start erases the oldvalue and starts a new recording sequence. The recording sequence is stopped onoperation of the overvoltage stage and the highest value during the start sequence is

found in the register.

2 The highest voltage value measured as a multiple of the rated voltage of the relayenergizing input. The register value is updated as soon as the measured value exceedsthe value alredy in the register. Register 2 is erased with a command via the serial portor by pushing the STEP and RESET push-buttons simultaneously. The registeredvalue is also erased on loss of auxiliary supply.

3 The lowest voltage value measured during the start sequence as a multiple of the ratedvoltage of the relay energizing input. Any undervoltage stage start erases the old valueand starts a new recording sequence. The recording sequence is stopped on operationof the undervoltage stage and the lowest value during the start sequence is found inthe register.

4 The lowest voltage value measured as a multiple of the rated voltage of the relayenergizing input. The register value is updated as soon as the measured value fallsbelow the value already in the register. Register 4 is erased with a command via theserial port or by pushing the STEP and RESET push-buttons simultaneously. Theregistered value is also erased on loss of auxiliary supply.

5 Number of starts of the overvoltage stage, n (U>) = 0...255.

6 Number of starts of the undervoltage stage, n (U, or, at IDMT mode of operation, of the calculated operatetime. A new start resets the counter which starts recounting from zero. If the stagehas tripped, the counter reading is 100.
