The distance protection relay 7SA6 isnon-switched incorporating all the addi-tional functions for protection of overheadlines and cables at all voltage levels from5 to 765 kV.

All methods of neutral point connection(resonant earthing, isolated, solid orlow-resistance earthing) are reliably dealtwith. The unit can issue single or three-poleTRIP commands as well as CLOSE com-mands. Consequently both single-pole,three-pole and multiple auto-reclosure ispossible.

Teleprotection functions as well asearth-fault protection and sensitiveearth-fault detection are included. Powerswings are detected reliably andnon-selective tripping is prevented. The unitoperates reliably and selectively even underthe most difficult network conditions.

Cost-effective power system management

The SIPROTEC 4 units are numerical relayswhich also provide control and monitoringfunctions and therefore support the user inview of a cost-effective power system man-agement. The security and reliability ofpower supply is increased as a result of min-imizing the use of hardware.

The local operation has been designed ac-cording to ergonomic criteria. Large, easy-to-read backlit displays are provided.

The SIPROTEC 4 units have a uniform de-sign and a degree of functionality whichrepresents a benchmark-level of perfor-mance in protection and control. If the re-quirements for protection, control orinterlocking change, it is possible in the ma-jority of cases to implement such changes bymeans of parameterization using DIGSI 4without having to change the hardware.The use of powerful microcontrollers andthe application of digital measured-valueconditioning and processing largely sup-presses the influence of higher-frequencytransients, harmonics and DC components.

Distance protection (ANSI 21, 21N)

The main function of the 7SA6 is a non-switched distance protection. By parallelcalculation and monitoring of all six imped-ance loops, a high degree of sensitivity andselectivity is achieved for all types of fault.The shortest tripping time is less than onecycle. All methods of neutral-point connec-tion (resonant earthing, isolated, solid orlow-resistance earthing) are reliably dealtwith. Single-pole and three-pole tripping ispossible. Overhead lines can be equippedwith or without series capacitor compensa-tion.

Four pickup methodsThe following pickup methods can be em-ployed alternatively:

• Overcurrent pickup I>>

• Voltage-dependent overcurrent pickupV/I

• Voltage-dependent and phase angle-dependent overcurrent pickup V/I/ϕ

• Impedance pickup Z<

Load zoneThe pickup mode with quadrilateral imped-ance pickup (Z<) is fitted with a variableload zone. In order to guarantee a reliablediscrimination between load operation andshort-circuit (especially on long high loadedlines), the relay is equipped with a selectableload encroachment characteristic. Imped-ances within this load encroachment char-acteristic prevent the distance zones fromunwanted tripping.

Absolute phase-selectivityThe 7SA6 distance protection incorporates awell-proven, highly sophisticated phase se-lection algorithm. The pickup of unfaultedphases is reliably eliminated. This phase se-lection algorithm achieves single-pole trip-ping and correct distance measurement in awide application range. Interference to dis-tance measurement caused by parallel linescan be compensated by taking the earth cur-rent of the parallel system into account.

This parallel line compensation can be takeninto account both for distance measure-ment and for fault locating.

Page 5: Distance Protection 7SA6

Six distance zonesFive independent distance zones and oneseparate overreach zone are available. Eachdistance zone has dedicated time stages,partially separate for single-phase andthree-phase faults. Earth faults are detectedby monitoring the earth current 3I0 and thezero-sequence voltage 3V0. The quadrilateraltripping characteristic allows use of separatesettings for the X and the R directions. Differ-ent R settings can be employed for earth andphase faults. This characteristic offers advan-tages in the case of faults with fault resistance.For applications to medium-voltage cableswith low line angles, it may be advantageousto select the distance zones with the optionalcircle characteristic.All the distance protection zones can be set toforward, reverse or non-directional.

Optimum direction detectionUse of voltages, which are not involved withthe short-circuit loop, and of voltage mem-ories for determination of the fault directionensure that the results are always reliable.

Elimination of interference signalsDigital filters render the unit immune to in-terference signals contained in the measuredvalues. In particular, the influence of DCcomponents, capacitive voltage transform-ers and frequency changes is considerablyreduced. A special measuring method is em-ployed in order to assure protection selec-tivity during saturation of the currenttransformers.

Measuring voltage monitoringTripping of the distance protection isblocked automatically in the event of failureof the measuring voltage, thus preventingspurious tripping.The measuring voltage is monitored by theintegrated fuse failure monitor. Distanceprotection is blocked if either the fuse fail-ure monitor or the auxiliary contact of thevoltage transformer protection switch oper-ates and in this case the EMERGENCY defi-nite-time overcurrent protection can beactivated.

Fault locator

The integrated fault locator calculates thefault impedance and the distance-to-fault.The results are displayed in ohms, kilome-ters (miles) and in percent of the line length.Parallel line compensation and load currentcompensation for high-resistance faults isalso available.

Fig. 6/12 Power swing current and voltage wave forms

Power swing detection (ANSI 68, 68T)

Dynamic transient reactions, for instanceshort-circuits, load fluctuations, auto-reclosures or switching operations can causepower swings in the transmission network.During power swings, large currents alongwith small voltages can cause unwantedtripping of distance protection relays. Toavoid uncontrolled tripping of the distanceprotection and to achieve controlled trip-ping in the event of loss of synchronism, the7SA6 relay is equipped with an efficientpower swing detection function. Powerswings can be detected under symmetricalload conditions as well as during single-poleauto-reclosures.

Tele (pilot) protection for distance protection(ANSI 85-21)

A teleprotection function is available for fastclearance of faults up to 100 % of the linelength. The following operating modes maybe selected:

• POTT

• Directional comparison pickup

• Unblocking

• PUTT acceleration with pickup

• PUTT acceleration with Z1B

• Blocking

• Pilot-wire comparison

• Reverse interlocking

• DUTT, direct underreaching zone trans-fer trip (together with Direct TransferTrip function).

The carrier send and receive signals areavailable as binary inputs and outputs andcan be freely assigned to each physical relayinput or output. At least one channel is re-quired for each direction.

Common transmission channels are power-line carrier microwave radio and fiber-optic links. A serial protection data interfacefor direct connection to a digital communi-cation network or fiber-optic link is avail-able.

7SA6 also permits the transfer of phase-selective signals. This feature is particularlyadvantageous as it ensures reliable single-pole tripping, if single-pole faults occur ondifferent lines. The transmission methodsare suitable also for lines with three ends(three-terminal lines). Phase-selective trans-mission is also possible with multi-end ap-plication, if some user-specific linkages areimplemented by way of the integrated CFClogic.

During disturbances in the signaling chan-nel receiver or on the transmission circuit,the teleprotection function can be blockedvia a binary input signal without losing thezone selectivity.

The control of the overreach zone Z1B(zone extension) can be switched over to theauto-reclosure function.

Transient blocking (current reversal guard)is provided for all the release and blockingmethods in order to suppress interferencesignals during tripping of parallel lines.

Page 6: Distance Protection 7SA6

Under certain conditions on the power sys-tem it is necessary to execute remote trip-ping of the circuit-breaker. The 7SA6 relayis equipped with phase-selective in-tertripping signal inputs and outputs.

Weak-infeed protection:echo and/or trip (ANSI 27 WI)

To prevent delayed tripping of permissiveschemes during weak or zero infeed situa-tions, an echo function is provided.If no fault detector is picked up at the weak-infeed end of the line, the signal receivedhere is returned as echo to allow acceleratedtripping at the strong infeed end of the line.It is also possible to initiate phase-selectivetripping at the weak-infeed end. A phase-selective single-pole or three-pole trip isissued if a permissive trip signal (POTT orUnblocking) is received and if the phase-earth voltage drops correspondingly. As anoption, the weak infeed logic can beequipped according to a French specifica-tion.

Overvoltage protection, undervoltageprotection (ANSI 59, 27)

A voltage rise can occur on long lines thatare operating at no-load or that are onlylightly loaded. The 7SA6 contains a numberof overvoltage measuring elements. Eachmeasuring element is of two-stage design.The following measuring elements are avail-able:

• Phase-to-earth overvoltage

• Phase-to-phase overvoltage

• Zero-sequence overvoltageThe zero-sequence voltage can beconnected to the 4th voltage input orbe derived from the phase voltages.

• Positive-sequence overvoltage of the localend or calculated for the remote end ofthe line (compounding)

• Negative-sequence overvoltage

Tripping by the overvoltage measuringelements can be effected either at the localcircuit-breaker or at the remote station bymeans of a transmitted signal.

The 7SA6 is fitted, in addition, with threetwo-stage undervoltage measuring elements:

• Phase-to-earth undervoltage

• Phase-to-phase undervoltage

• Positive-sequence undervoltage

The undervoltage measuring elements canbe blocked by means of a minimum currentcriterion and by means of binary inputs.

Frequency protection (ANSI 81O/U)

Frequency protection can be used foroverfrequency and underfrequency protec-tion. Unwanted frequency changes in thenetwork can be detected and the load can beremoved at a specified frequency setting.Frequency protection can be used over awide frequency range (45 to 55, 55 to65 Hz). There are four elements (selectableas overfrequency or underfrequency) andeach element can be delayed separately.

Directional earth-fault protection forhigh-resistance faults (ANSI 50N, 51N, 67N)

In an earthed network it may happen thatthe distance protection´s sensitivity is notsufficient to detect high-resistance earthfaults. The 7SA6 protection relay thereforeoffers protection functions for faults of thisnature.

The earth-fault protection can be used withthree definite-time stages and one inverse-time stage (IDMT).

Inverse-time characteristics according toIEC 60255-3 and ANSI/IEEE are provided(see “Technical data”). A 4th definite-timestage can be applied instead of the 1st in-verse-time stage.

An additional logarithmic inverse-timecharacteristic is also available.

The direction decision is determined by theearth current and the zero-sequence voltageor by the negative-sequence components V2

and I2. In addition or as an alternative, thedirection can be determined with the earthcurrent of an earthed power transformer andthe zero-sequence voltage. Dual polarizationapplications can therefore be fulfilled. Alter-natively, the direction can be determined byevaluation of zero-sequence power. Eachovercurrent stage can be set in forward or re-verse direction or in both directions(non-directional).

The function is equipped with special digitalfilter algorithms, providing the eliminationof higher harmonics. This feature is particu-larly important for small zero-sequencefault currents which usually have a highcontent of 3rd and 5th harmonic.

Inrush stabilization and instantaneousswitch-onto-fault tripping can be activatedseparately for each stage as well.

Different operating modes can be selected.The earth-fault protection is suitable forthree-phase and, optionally, for single-phase tripping by means of a sophisticatedphase selector. It may be blocked during thedead time of single-pole auto-reclosecycles or during pickup of the distance pro-tection.

Tele (pilot) protection for directionalearth-fault protection (ANSI 85-67N)

The directional earth-fault protection canbe combined with the available signalingmethods:

• Directional comparison

• BLOCKING

• UNBLOCKING

The transient blocking function (current re-versal guard) is also provided in order tosuppress interference signals during trippingof parallel lines.

The pilot functions for distance protectionand for earth-fault protection can use thesame signaling channel or two separate andredundant channels.

Backup overcurrent protection(ANSI 50, 50N, 51, 51N, 67)

The 7SA6 provides a backup overcurrentprotection. Two definite-time stages andone inverse-time stage (IDMTL) are avail-able, separately for phase currents and forthe earth current. The application can be ex-tended to a directional overcurrent protec-tion (ANSI 67) by taking into account thedecision of the available direction detectionelements. Two operating modes areselectable. The function can run in parallelto the distance protection or only duringfailure of the voltage in the VT secondarycircuit (emergency operation).

The secondary voltage failure can be de-tected by the integrated fuse failure monitoror via a binary input from a VT miniaturecircuit-breaker (VT m.c.b. trip).

Inverse-time characteristics according toIEC 60255-3 and ANSI/IEEE are provided(see “Technical data”).

Instantaneous high-speed switch-onto-faultovercurrent protection (ANSI 50HS)

Instantaneous tripping is required when en-ergizing a faulty line. In the event of largefault currents, the high-speed switch-onto-fault overcurrent stage can initiate very fastthree-pole tripping.

With smaller fault currents, instantaneoustripping after switch-onto-fault is also pos-sible with the overreach distance zone Z1Bor with pickup.

The switch-onto-fault initiation can be de-tected via the binary input “manual close”or automatically via measurement.

Earth-fault detection in systems with astar-point that is not effectively earthed

In systems with an isolated or resonantearthed (grounded) star-point, single-phaseearth faults can be detected. The followingfunctions are integrated for this purpose:

• Detection of an earth fault by monitoringof the displacement voltage

• Determination of the faulted phase bymeasurement of the phase-to-earth volt-age

• Determination of the earth-fault directionby highly accurate measurement of the ac-tive and reactive power components inthe residual earth fault current.

• Alarm or trip output can be selected in theevent of an earth-fault in the forward di-rection.

• Operation measurement of the active andreactive component in the residual earthcurrent during an earth-fault.

Earth-fault direction detection can also beeffected on the basis of the transientearth-fault principle by interfacing with theadditional unit 7SN60 (see Fig. 6/14). Pro-cedures for logging, time stamping andevent recording for the network controlsystem are standardized by the 7SA6.

Breaker failure protection (ANSI 50BF)

The 7SA6 relay incorporates a two-stagebreaker failure protection to detect failuresof tripping command execution, for exam-ple, due to a defective circuit-breaker. Thecurrent detection logic is phase-selectiveand can therefore also be used in single-poletripping schemes. If the fault current is notinterrupted after a settable time delay hasexpired, a retrip command or a busbar tripcommand will be generated. The breakerfailure protection can be initiated by all in-tegrated protection functions, as well as byexternal devices via binary input signals.

STUB bus overcurrent protection(ANSI 50(N)-STUB)

The STUB bus overcurrent protection is aseparate definite-time overcurrent stage. Itcan be activated via a binary input signalingthat the open line isolator (disconnector) isopen.

Separate settings are available for phase andearth faults.

Auto-recIosure (ANSI 79)

The 7SA6 relay is equipped with an auto-reclosure function (AR). The function in-cludes several operating modes:

• 3-pole auto-reclosure for all types offaults; different dead times are availabledepending on the type of fault

• 1-pole auto-reclosure for 1-phase faults,no reclosing for multi-phase faults

• 1-pole auto-reclosure for 1-phase faultsand for 2-phase faults without earth, noreclosing for multi-phase faults

• 1-pole auto-reclosure for 1-phase and3-pole auto-reclosure for multi-phasefaults

• 1-pole auto-reclosure for 1-phase faultsand 2-phase faults without earth and3-pole auto-reclosure for multi-phasefaults

• Multiple-shot auto-reclosure

• Interaction with an external device forauto-reclosure via binary inputs andoutputs

• Control of the internal AR function byexternal protection

• Interaction with the internal or anexternal synchro-check

• Monitoring of the circuit-breaker auxil-iary contacts

In addition to the above-mentioned operat-ing modes, several other operating princi-ples can be employed by means of theintegrated programmable logic (CFC).

Page 8: Distance Protection 7SA6

Auto-recIosure (cont’d) (ANSI 79)

Integration of auto-reclosure in the feederprotection allows evaluation of the line-sidevoltages. A number of voltage-dependentsupplementary functions are thus available:

• DLCBy means of dead-line check, reclosure iseffected only when the line is deenergized(prevention of asynchronous breaker clo-sure).

• ADTThe adaptive dead time is employed onlyif auto-reclosure at the remote station wassuccessful (reduction of stress on equip-ment).

• RDTReduced dead time is employed in con-junction with auto-reclosure where noteleprotection method is employed:When faults within the zone extensionbut external to the protected line areswitched off for rapid auto-reclosure(RAR), the RDT function decides on thebasis of measurement of the return volt-age from the remote station which has nottripped whether or not to reduce the deadtime.

Synchronism check (ANSI 25)

Where two network sections are switched inby control command or following a 3-poleauto-reclosure, it must be ensured that bothnetwork sections are mutually synchronous.For this purpose a synchro-check functionis provided. After verification of the net-work synchronism, the function releases theCLOSE command. Alternatively, reclosingcan be enabled for different criteria, e.g.checking that the busbar or line is not carry-ing a voltage (dead line or dead bus).

Fuse failure monitoring and other supervi-sion functions

The 7SA6 relay provides comprehensive su-pervision functions covering both hardwareand software. Furthermore, the measuredvalues are continuously checked for plausi-bility. Therefore the current and voltagetransformers are also included in this super-vision system.

If any measured voltage is not present dueto short-circuit or open circuit in the volt-age transformer secondary circuit, the dis-tance protection would respond with anunwanted trip due to this loss of voltage.

This secondary voltage interruption can bedetected by means of the integrated fusefailure monitor. Immediate blocking of dis-tance protection and switching to thebackup-emergency overcurrent protectionis provided for all types of secondary voltagefailures.

Additional measurement supervisionfunctions are

• Symmetry of voltages and currents

• Broken-conductor supervision

• Summation of currents and voltages

• Phase-sequence supervision.

Directional power protection

The 7SA6 has a function for detecting thepower direction by measuring the phase an-gle of the positive-sequence system's power.Fig. 6/15 shows an application example dis-playing negative active power. An indicationis issued in the case when the measured an-gle ϕ (S1) of the positive-sequence systempower is within the P - Q - level sector.This sector is between angles ϕ A and ϕ B.Via CFC the output signal of the directionalmonitoring can be linked to the "DirectTransfer Trip (DTT)" function and thus, asreverse power protection, initiate tripping ofthe CB.

Fig. 6/16 shows another application display-ing capacitive reactive power. In the case ofovervoltage being detected due to long linesunder no-load conditions it is possible toselect the lines where capacitive reactivepower is measured.

Trip circuit supervision (ANSI 74TC)

One or two binary inputs for each circuit-breaker pole can be used for monitoring thecircuit-breaker trip coils including the con-necting cables. An alarm signal is issuedwhenever the circuit is interrupted.

Lockout (ANSI 86)

Under certain operating conditions it is ad-visable to block CLOSE commands after aTRIP command of the relay has been issued.Only a manual “RESET” command un-blocks the CLOSE command. The 7SA6 isequipped with such an interlocking logic.

Thermal overload protection (ANSI 49)

For thermal protection of cables and trans-formers an overload protection with anearly-warning stage is provided. The ther-mal replica can be generated with the maxi-mum or mean value of the respectiveovertemperatures in the three phases, orwith the overtemperature corresponding tothe maximum phase current.

The tripping time characteristics are expo-nential functions according to IEC 60255-8and they take account of heat loss due to theload current and the accompanying drop intemperature of the cooling medium. Theprevious load is therefore taken into ac-count in the tripping time with overload. Asettable alarm stage can output a current ortemperature-dependent indication beforethe tripping point is reached.

BCD-coded output of fault location

The fault location calculated by the unit canbe output for remote indication in BCDcode. The output of the fault location ismade in percent of the set line length with3 decimal digits.

Analog output 0 to 20 mA

Some measured values can be output as an-alog values (0 to 20 mA). On a plug-inmodule (Fig. 6/21) two analog channels aremade available. Up to two plug-in modulescan be installed in the 7SA6. As an option, 2,4 or no analog channels are available (pleaserefer to the selection and ordering data).The available measured values can be gath-ered from the technical data.

Commissioning and fault event analyzing

Special attention has been paid to commis-sioning. All binary inputs and outputs canbe displayed and activated directly. This cansimplify the wiring check significantly forthe user. The operational and fault eventsand the fault records are clearly arranged.For applications with serial protection datainterface, all currents, voltages and phasesare available via communication link at eachlocal unit, displayed at the front of the unitwith DIGSI 4 or with WEB Monitor1).A common time tagging facilitates the com-parison of events and fault records.

WEB Monitor - Internet technology simplifiesvisualization

In addition to the universal DIGSI 4 operat-ing program, the relay contains a WEBserver that can be accessed via a telecommu-nication link using a browser (e.g. InternetExplorer). The advantage of this solution isto operate the unit with standard softwaretools and at the same time make use of theIntranet/Internet infrastructure. Apart fromnumeric values, graphical displays in partic-ular provide clear information and a highdegree of operating reliability. Of course, itis also possible to call up detailed measuredvalue displays and annunciation buffers. Byemulation of the integrated unit operationon the PC it is also possible to adjust se-lected settings for commissioning purposes.

• Already during the process of communi-cation, information is assigned to thecause thereof (e.g. assignment of the indi-cation “circuit-breaker TRIP” to the cor-responding command).

• The communication system automaticallyhandles the transfer of large data blocks(e.g. fault recordings or parameter datafiles). The user has access to these featureswithout any additional programming ef-fort.

• For the safe execution of a control com-mand the corresponding data telegram isinitially acknowledged by the unit whichwill execute the command. After the re-lease and execution of the command afeedback signal is generated. At every stageof the control command execution partic-ular conditions are checked. If these arenot satisfied, command execution may beterminated in a controlled manner.

The units offer a high degree of flexibility bysupporting different standards for connec-tion to industrial and power automationsystems. By means of the communicationmodules, on which the protocols run, ex-change and retrofit is possible. Therefore,the units will also in future allow for opti-mal adaptation to changing communicationinfrastructure such as the application ofEthernet networks (which will also be usedincreasingly in the power supply sector inthe years to come).

Local PC interface

The serial RS232 PC interface accessiblefrom the front of the unit permits quick ac-cess to all parameters and fault event data.The use of the DIGSI 4 operating programis particularly advantageous during commis-sioning.

Service/modem interface

7SA6 units are always fitted with a rear-sidehardwired service interface, optionally asRS232 or RS485. In addition to thefront-side operator interface, a PC can be con-nected here either directly or via a modem.

Time synchronization interface

The time synchronization interface is a stan-dard feature in all units. The supported for-mats are IRIG-B and DCF77.

Reliable bus architecture

• RS485 busWith this data transmission via copperconductors, electromagnetic fault influ-ences are largely eliminated by the use oftwisted-pair conductors. Upon failure of aunit, the remaining system continues tooperate without any problem.

• Fiber-optic double ring circuitThe fiber-optic double ring circuit is im-mune to electromagnetic interference.Upon failure of a section between twounits, the communication system contin-ues to operate without disturbance. It isusually impossible to communicate witha unit that has failed. Should a unit fail,there is no effect on the communicationwith the rest of the system.

Retrofitting: Modules for every type ofcommunication

Communication modules for retrofittingare available for the entire SIPROTEC 4 unitrange. These ensure that, where differentcommunication protocols (IEC 61850,IEC 60870-5-103, PROFIBUS, DNP, etc.)are required, such demands can be met. Forfiber-optic communication, no externalconverter is required for SIPROTEC 4.

IEC 61850 protocol

The Ethernet-based IEC 61850 protocol isthe worldwide standard for protection andcontrol systems used by power supply cor-porations. Siemens was the first manufac-turer to support this standard. By means ofthis protocol, information can also be ex-changed directly between bay units so as toset up simple masterless systems for bay andsystem interlocking. Access to the units viathe Ethernet bus is also be possible withDIGSI. It is also be possible to retrieveoperating and fault messages and fault re-cordings via a browser. This Web monitorwill also provide a few items of unit-specificinformation in browser windows.

System solutions for protection and stationcontrol

Together with the SICAM power automa-tion system, SIPROTEC 4 can be used withPROFIBUS-FMS. Over the low-cost electri-cal RS485 bus, or interference-free via theoptical double ring, the units exchange in-formation with the control system. Unitsequipped with IEC 60870-5-103 interfacescan be connected to SICAM in parallel viathe RS485 bus or connected in star by fi-ber-optic link. Through this interface, thesystem is open for the connection of units ofother manufacturers (see Fig. 6/25).

Because of the standardized interfaces,SIPROTEC units can also be integrated intosystems of other manufacturers or inSIMATIC. Electrical RS485 or optical inter-faces are available. The optimum physicaldata transfer medium can be chosen thanksto opto-electrical converters. Thus, theRS485 bus allows low-cost wiring in the cu-bicles and an interference-free optical con-nection to the master can be established.

For IEC 61850, an interoperable system so-lution is offered with SICAM PAS. Via the100 Mbits/s Ethernet bus, the units arelinked with PAS electrically or optically tothe station PC. The interface is standard-ized, thus also enabling direct connection ofunits of other manufacturers to the Ethernetbus. With IEC 61850, however, the unitscan also be used in other manufacturers’systems. Units with an IEC 60870-5-103 in-terface are connected with PAS via theEthernet station bus by means of se-rial/Ethernet converters. DIGSI and theWeb monitor can also be used via the samestation bus.

Serial protection data interface

The tele (pilot) protection schemes can beimplemented using digital serial communi-cation. The 7SA6 is capable of remote relaycommunication via direct links or multi-plexed digital communication networks.The serial protection data interface has thefollowing features:

• Fast phase-selective teleprotection signal-ing for distance protection, optionallywith POTT or PUTT schemes

• Signaling for directional earth-fault pro-tection – directional comparison for highresistance faults in solidly earthed systems

• Echo-function

• Two and three-terminal line applicationscan be implemented without additionallogic

• Interclose command transfer with theauto-reclosure “Adaptive dead time”(ADT) mode

• Redundant communication path switchover is possible with the 7SA6 when 2 se-rial protection data interfaces are installed

• 28 remote signals for fast transfer ofbinary signals

• Flexible utilisation of the communicationchannels by means of the programmableCFC logic

• Display of the operational measured val-ues of the opposite terminal(s) withphase-angle information relative to acommon reference vector

• Clock synchronization: the clock in onlyone of the relays must be synchronizedfrom an external so called “Absolute Mas-ter” when using the serial protection datainterface. This relay will then synchronizethe clock of the other (or the two otherrelays in 3 terminal applications) via theprotection data interface.

• 7SA522 and 7SA6 can be combined viathe protection data interface.

The communication possibilities are identi-cal to those for the line differential protec-tion relays 7SD5 and 7SD610. The followingoptions are available:

• FO51), OMA12) module: Optical 820 nm,2 ST connectors, FO cable length up to1.5 km for link to communicationnetworks via communication convertersor for direct FO cable connection

• FO61), OMA22) module: Optical 820 nm,2 ST connectors, FO cable length up to3.5 km, for direct connection viamulti-mode FO cable

• FO171): For direct connectionup to 25 km3), 1300 nm, for mono-modefiber 9/125 μm, LC-Duplex connector

• FO181): For direct connectionup to 60 km3) 1300 nm, for mono-modefiber 9/125 μm, LC-Duplex connector

• FO191): For direct connectionup to 100 km3) 1550 nm, for mono-modefiber 9/125 μm, LC-Duplex connector

The link to a multiplexed communicationnetwork is made by separate communica-tion converters (7XV5662). These have a fi-ber-optic interface with 820 nm and STconnectors to the protection relay. The linkto the communication network is optionallyan electrical X21 or a G703.1 interface.

For operation via copper wire communica-tion (pilot wires), a modern communica-tion converter for copper cables is available.This operates with both the two-wire andthree-wire copper connections which wereused by conventional differential protectionsystems before. The communication con-verter for copper cables is designed for 5 kVinsulation voltage. An additional 20 kV iso-lation transformer can extend the field ofapplications of this technique into rangeswith higher insulation voltage requirements.With SIPROTEC 4 and the communicationconverter for copper cables a digital fol-low-up technique is available for two-wireprotection systems (typical 15 km) and allthree-wire protection systems using existingcopper communication links.

Communication data:

• Supported network interfaces G703.1 with64 kBit/s; X21/RS422 with 64 or 128 or512 kBit/s

• Max. channel delay time 0.1 ms to 30 ms(in steps of 0.1 ms)

• Protocol HDLC

• 32-bit CRC-check according to CCITTand ITU

• Each protection relay possesses a uniquerelay address

• Continuous communication link supervi-sion: Individual faulty data telegrams donot constitute an immediate danger, ifthey occur only sporadically. The statisti-cal availability, per minute and hour, ofthe serial protection data interface can bedisplayed.

Figure 6/26 shows four applications for theserial protection data interface on a two-terminal line.

1) For flush-mounting housing.

2) For surface-mounting housing.

3) For surface-mounting housing the internalfiber-optic module OMA1 will be deliveredtogether with an external repeater.

The topology isre-routed in a chain with less than 100 ms.To reduce communication links and to savemoney for communications, a chain topol-ogy may be generally applied.
