3Application The residual overvoltage relay SPAU 110 C
isdesigned to be used for earth fault protection inisolated
neutral, resistance earthed or reactanceearthed systems. In
resonant earthed systemsrelay starting can be used to control the
switch-ing device of the neutral resistor. The protection
relay can also be used for the earth fault protec-tion of
generators and motors and for the unbal-ance protection of
capacitor banks. The protec-tion relay forms an integrated
protection scheme,including two-stage earth fault protection
andflexible trip and signal functions.
Description offunction
The residual overvoltage relay SPAU 110 C is asecondary relay
which is to be connected to thevoltage transformers of the
protected object.When a fault occurs, the residual overvoltagerelay
can be used for tripping a circuit breaker orfor signalling an
earth-fault only, as required bythe protection application.
When the energizing voltage exceeds the set startvalue of the
low-set voltage stage U0>, the re-sidual overvoltage relay
starts. After the set oper-ate time t> the low-set stage
operates, if the faultstill persists. The high-set voltage stage
operatesin the same way. When the measured voltage
exceeds the set start value U0>>, the high-set
stagestarts, and after the set time t>> the high-set
stageoperates, if the fault still persists.
Start information from the residual overvoltagerelay is obtained
as a contact function, whichfurther can be used for controlling
other coop-erating protection relays, e.g. neutral currentmeasuring
earth fault relays.
The relay contains one optically isolated logicinput to be
controlled by an external controlvoltage. In the residual
overvoltage relay thecontrol input is used as a blocking input.

1. Either voltage stage has its own start/opera-tion indicator
(U0> and U0>>), located in theright bottom corner of the
front panel of therelay module. Yellow light indicates that
theconcerned stage has started and red light thatthe stage has
operated (tripped).
With the SG2 switchgroup the start and tripindicators can be
given a latching feature,which means that the LEDs remain lit,
al-though the signal that caused operation fallsbelow the set
value. The indicators are resetwith the RESET push-button. An
unresetindicator does not affect the operation of therelay.
2. The yellow LED (U0) above the display is litwhen the measured
residual voltage is shownon the display.
3. The red IRF indicator of the self-supervisionsystem indicates
that a permanent fault hasbeen detected. The fault code appearing
onthe display once a fault has been detectedshould be recorded and
notified when serviceis ordered.
4. The green Uaux LED on the front panel is litwhen the power
supply module operates prop-erly.
5. The LED indicator below each one of thesetting knobs is lit
to indicate that the settingvalue displayed refers to the concerned
set-ting knob.
6. The LED of the SG1 switchgroup is lit, whenthe checksum of
the switchgroup is displayed.
The operation indicators, the SG2 selectorswitchgroup and the
LEDs of the setting knobsare described more detailed in manual for
theresidual overvoltage relay module SPCU 1C6.
Combined powersupply and I/Omodule
The power supply and I/O module (U2) islocated behind the system
front panel of theprotection relay and can be withdrawn
afterremoval of the system front panel. The powersupply and I/O
module incorporates the powersource, the output relays, the control
circuits ofthe output relays and the electronic circuitry ofthe
external control input.
The power supply module is transformer con-nected, that is, the
primary side and the second-ary circuits are galvanically isolated.
The pri-mary side is protected by a slow 1 A fuse F1,placed on the
PC board of the module. Whenthe power source operates properly, the
greenUaux LED on the front panel is lit.
The power supply and I/O module is availablein two versions with
different input voltageranges:
- module SPTU 240 S1Uaux = 80...265 V ac/dc
- module SPTU 48 S1Uaux = 18...80 V dc
The permitted input voltage range of the powersupply and I/O
module inserted in the relay ondelivery is marked on the system
panel panel ofthe relay.

Fig. 4. The residual overvoltage relay SPAU 110 C used for the

An earth fault somewhere in a galvanically con-nected power
system causes residual voltage. Forthis reason the residual
overvoltage relay SPAU110 C is well adapted to be used as a
generalearth fault alarm relay that monitors a definedpart of the
power system.
The residual overvoltage relay SPAU 110 Cmeasures the residual
voltage from the opendelta winding of the voltage transformers.
Thisprocedure provides a relatively good accuracyof measurement.
The ferroresonances of thevoltage transformers are suppressed by a
resistorR incorporated in the open delta connection.

The low-set stage of the residual overvoltagerelay indicates
imminent earth faults. The re-sidual voltage in a sound isolated
neutral net-work is normally very small, even less than 1%of the
maximum residual voltage value. Thusthe low-set residual voltage
stage can be given alow setting value.
The low-set stage can be used for enabling theneutral current
measuring non-directional earthfault relays of the feeders. When an
earth faultoccurs on a feeder both the neutral current earthfault
relay of the feeder and the low-set stage ofthe busbar system
residual voltage relay have tostart to enable tripping of the
feeder circuitbreaker. The enabling system prevents unneces-sary
operation of the neutral current earth faultrelay at short
circuits, when a motor is started orunder normal service
conditions. If a directionalearth fault relay is used on the
feeder, no enablesignal is required.
The high-set stage is due to protect the busbarsystem and to
serve as unselective back-up pro-tection for the feeder erth fault
protection. Thesetting of the back-up protection stage of
theresidual voltage relay must not be lower thanthat of the earth
fault relays of the feeders. Alsopossible changes in the service
preconditionsshould be considered.
The high-set stage also serves as earth faultprotection for the
infeeder, if the trip signal isrouted to the HV side circuit
breaker of thepower transformer as well as to the LV sidecircuit
breaker. The trip signal for the HV sidecircuit breaker can be
taken, for instance, fromthe contacts 80-81 and be routed to the
circuitbreaker via an intermediate relay.

Instead of using an open delta connection theresidual voltage
can be measured over a voltagetransformer connected to the neutral,
providedthe neutral is available. In the case of a blockconnected
generator the galvanically connectednetwork is limited by the
transformer, so a re-sidual overvoltage relay alone will form a
satisfac-tory earth fault protection. In the connectionabove the
residual voltage relay operates on earthfaults occurring in the
stator winding of thegenerator or in the deltawinding of the
trans-former. The low-set stage can be used for earthfault
signalling. Due to the risk of a double earth
fault in the system, the high-set stage of theresidual
overvoltage protection should be trip-ping. The signal tripping the
generator excitationis taken, for instance, from the contacts
77-78.
A resistor connected in parallel with the voltagetransformer
prevents HV side earth faults fromreflecting via the capacitances
over the blocktransformers to the LV side, where they couldcause
relay operations.

The unbalance protection of a star-connectedcapacitor bank can
also be implemented byusing the open delta connection for
measuringthe unbalance voltage. The capacitor bank iscomposed of
small units which are protected byinternal fuses. Burning of one or
more fusescauses unbalance, and to detect this unbalancethe
residual overvoltage relay SPAU 110 C isused. The function of the
low-set stage of the
relay is signalling and that of the high-set stagetripping. The
relay setting is determined by themanufacturer of the capacitor
bank, because thesetting depends on the number of capacitorunits
connected in parallel and in series andtheir rated values.

Recorded data andfault analysis
The registers of the residual voltage relay mod-ule SPCU 1C6
provide a general view of theearth fault situations of the
substation and of thebehaviour of the network during normal
service.
Register 1 records the maximum measured re-sidual voltage as a
multiple of the rated voltageof the relay energizing input. If the
relay trips,the voltage at the moment of tripping is memo-rized. A
new trip erases the old value and updatesthe register. The
procedure is the same if avoltage measured exceeds the old value
recorded.
The data of register 1 show how close the settingvalues are to
actual values during normal opera-tion, by comparing the residual
voltage indi-cated by the relay with the setting value.
By using the information of register 1 it is alsopossible to
determine the smallest fault resist-ance at which an earth fault
extinguishes by itselfor by auto-reclosures. By giving the
low-setresidual voltage stage a signalling function andby selecting
an operate time that is equal to thefinal trip delay of the feeder
earth fault relay,register 1 allows the smallest fault
resistance,that caused operation, to be determined, whenthe total
earth fault current of the galvanicallyconnected network is
known.
The relay should be reset after start, to preventthe updating
level of the register from getting tohigh. Should the relay be
linked to an event
reporting unit, the residual voltage value onstarting of the
relay can be read and the registerscan be reset, when the start
signals reset. Thusthe residual voltage value measured on
startingof the relay is always known.
The number of times the different stages havestarted, registers
2 and 3, gives a picture of theoccurrence and distribution of the
earth faults inrespect of the fault resistances of the earth
faults.Frequent starts may indicate imminent earthfaults, e.g.
insulation faults or orther faults, thateasily may develop to a
total earth fault.
Registers 4 and 5 show the duration of the lateststart situation
of the stages, expressed in per centof the set operate time. Any
new start restarts thecounter from zero. If the stage trips, the
registerwill show 100 [%].
Registers 4 and 5 contain information on theduration of an earth
fault , or, if final trip hasbeen performed, the safety margin of
the grad-ing times of selective protection. Generally, theresidual
voltage does not disappear immediatelyafter opening of the circuit
breaker of the faultyfeeder, so the start situation of the
residualvoltage relay may continue for a short time afterthe
circuit breaker has opened.
Registers 1...5 are reset either by pressing theSTEP and RESET
push-buttons simultaneouslyor with a command, V102, over the SPA
bus.

Testing Testing should always be performed in accord-ance with
national regulations.
The protection relay incorporates an IRF func-tion that
continuously monitors the internalstate of the relay and produces
an alarm signal ondetection of a fault. According to the
manufac-turers recommendations the relay should besubmitted to
primary testing at five years inter-vals. These tests include the
entire protectionchain from the measurement transformers tothe
circuit breakers.
The secondary testing described in this manualis based on the
relays setting values duringnormal operation. If necessary, the
secondarytesting can be extended, for instance, by testingthe
protection stages with several different set-ting values.
As switch positions and setting values have to bealtered during
the test procedure the correctpositions of switches and correct
values of therelay during normal operation have to be re-corded,
for instance, on the reference card ac-companying the relay.
To enable secondary testing the relay has to bedisconnected from
the pilot circuits, either atthe disconnectable terminal blocks or
by usingthe test adapter fitted on the relay. It is extremely
important that the relay is disconnected fromthe residual
voltade transformers. A possible tripsignal wired from the residual
voltage relay tothe main circuit breaker should also be consid-ered
when the relay is tested.
When auxiliary voltage is connected to theprotection relay, the
relay performs a self-testingprogram, which excludes only the
matchingtransformers and the contacts of the outputrelays. The
operational condition of the relay istested by means of an ordinary
relay test set. Thetest includes the matching transformers,
theoutput relays and the accuracy of the operatevalues.
Equipment required for testing:
- adjustable voltage transformer 0...260 V, 1 A- isolating
transformer 220/220 V- voltmeter- clock or timer for time
measurement- DC voltage source for auxiliary voltage
supply- switches and lamps- supply and pilot wires-
multimeter
Note the rated voltage prior to connecting thepilot wires to the
relay terminals, see "Specifica-tion of input and output
terminals".

When used under the conditions specified inthe section
"Technical data", the relay is practi-cally maintenance-free. The
relay modules in-clude no parts or components sensitive to
ab-normal physical or electrical wear under normaloperating
conditions.
If the environmental conditions on site differfrom those
specified, as to temperature andhumidity, or if the atmosphere
around the relaycontains chemically active gases or dust, therelay
should be visually inspected during therelay secondary testing. The
visual inspectionshould focus on:
- Signs of mechanical damage to relay case andterminals
- Dust inside the relay cover or case; removecarefully by
blowing compressed air
- Signs of corrosion on terminals, case or insidethe relay
If the relay fails in operation or if the operationvalues
considerably differ from those mentionedin the relay
specifications, the relay should begiven a proper overhaul. Minor
measures can betaken by personnel from the customers instru-ment
work-shop, but major measures involvingthe overhaul of the
electronics are to be taken bythe manufacturer. Please contact the
manufac-turer or his nearest representative for furtherinformation
about checking, overhaul and cali-bration of the relay.
Note!The protection relays contain electronic circuitswhich are
liable to serious damage due to elec-trostatic discharge. Before
removing a module,ensure that you are at the same
electrostaticpotential as the equipment by touching the case.
Note!Static protective relays are measuring instru-ments and
should be handled with care andprotected against damp and
mechanical stress,especially during transport.

3Description ofoperation
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
U0>>.
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 arerouted 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
ismaintained 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.

Operationindicators
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
modemeans 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 relaymodule 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.

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

1 Maximum residual voltage measured by the module, as a
percentage of the ratedvoltage Un of the used energizing input. If
the module operates, the voltage value atthe moment of operation is
stored in the memory. Any new operation erases the oldvalue and
updates the register with the new value. The same thing happens if
themeasured voltage exceeds a previously recorded maximum
value.
2 Number of starts of the low-set overvoltage stage U0>, n
(U0>) = 0...255.
3 Number of starts of the high-set overvoltage stage U0>>,
n (U0>>) = 0...255.
4 Duration of the latest start situation of stage U0> as a
percentage of the set operatetime t>. Any new start resets the
counter, which then starts counting from zero.When the stage has
operated, the counter reading is 100.
5 Duration of the latest start situation of stage U0>> as
a percentage of the set operatetime t>>. Any new start resets
the counter, which then starts recounting from zero.When the stage
has operated, the counter reading is 100.
0 Display of blocking signals and other external control
signals. The rightmost digitindicates the state of the blocking
inputs of the relay module. The following statesmay be indicated:0
= no blockings1 = operation of the U0> stage blocked2 =
operation of the U0>> stage blocked3 = operation of both
stages blocked
In this register the second digit from he right is constantly
zero. The leftmost digitindicates the state of the remote reset
control input, if applicable. The followingstates may be
indicated:0 = remote reset control input not energized1 = remote

Serialcommunicationparameters
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.
-
15
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:

Push-buttons The front panel of the relay module containstwo
push-buttons. The STEP button is used forstepping forward in the
display and the RESETbutton for resetting the red indicators.
Addi-tionally, the push-buttons are used for certain
settings, e.g. for setting the address of the relaymodule and
the data transfer rate for the serialcommunication when the modules
are used inrelay packages provided with this quality. (Seesection
Display).
Programmingswitches SG1
Part of the settings and the selections of theoperating
characteristics for the relay modulesin various applications are
made with the pro-gramming switches SG1 on the front panel.
Theindicator of the switchgroup glows when the
checksum of the switchgroup is shown on thedisplay. The checksum
can be used for checkingthat the switches are properly set. Fig. 2
gives anexample of calculating the checksum.
Fig. 2. Example of calculating the checksum of programming
switchgroup SG1.
When the checksum calculated according to theexample is equal to
the checksum indicated onthe display of the relay module, the
switches areproperly set.
The function of the programming switches ofthe individual
measuring relay modules is speci-fied in the description of the
module concerned.

3Setting knobs Most of the operating values and operatingtimes
are set by means of the setting knobs onthe front panel of the
relay module. Each settingknob has its own (LED) indicator which
glowswhen the concerned setting value is shown onthe display.
If a setting knob is turned while the display isshowing another
measured or set value, thevalue being set automatically appears on
thedisplay. Simultaneously, the indicator for theconcerned setting
starts glowing.
In addition to the settings made with the settingknobs, most
modules allow so called remotesetting. This means that the settings
made bymeans of the setting knobs of the module andthe checksum of
the programming switchgroupmay be altered through an instruction
over theserial communication bus. Remote setting ispossible if the
password in the register A isknown, and the remote settings are not
acti-vated, i.e. parameter V150=0. The circumstancethat the remote
settings are activated is shownwith a flashing light of the
indicator of thesetting knob, the value of which currently isbeing
displayed.
Display The measured and set values as well as the datarecorded
are shown on the display of the meas-uring relay module. The
display consists of fourdigits. The three digits (green) to the
rightindicate the measured, set or stored value andthe digit at the
extreme left (red) the number ofthe register. The measured or set
value displayedis indicated by a yellow LED indicator. Thenumber of
the register glows only when a storedvalue is displayed.
When the auxiliary voltage is connected to ameasuring relay
module, the module initiallytests the display by stepping through
the digits1...9 for about 15 seconds. When the test isfinished the
display turns dark. The testing canbe interrupted by pressing the
STEP button.The protective functions of the module areoperative
throughout the testing.
Display main menu All the data required during normal
operatingconditions are accessible from the main menuwhich presents
the measured values in real-time,the normal setting knob settings
as well as themost important memorized data.
The data to be shown in the main menu areselected to the display
in a certain sequence bymeans of the STEP button. When pressing
theSTEP button for about one second, the displaymoves forward in
the display sequence. Whenpressing it for about 0.5 seconds, the
displaymoves backwards in the display sequence.
From a dark display only forward movement ispossible. When
keeping the STEP button de-pressed, the display is continuously
moving inforward direction stopping for a while at thedark
point.
Unless the display is switched off by stepping tothe dark point,
it remains activated for about 5minutes from the last pressing of
the STEPbutton and then goes out.
-
4Display submenu Less important values and values not very
oftenset are displayed in the submenus. The numberof submenus
varies with different relay moduletypes. The submenus are presented
in the de-scription of the concerned module.
A submenu is entered from the main menu bypressing the RESET
button for about one sec-ond. When the button thereafter is
released, thered digit (STEP) of the display starts
flashing,indicating that one is in a submenu. Going fromone submenu
to another or back to the mainmenu follows the same principle as
when mov-ing from the main menu display to another; the
display moves forward when pressing the STEPbutton for one
second and backward whenpressing it for 0.5 seconds. The return to
themain menu has taken place when the red STEPdisplay turns
dark.
When entering a submenu from a measured orset value indicated by
a LED indicator, theindicator remains glowing and the address
win-dow (STEP) of the display starts flashing. Aflashing address
window when no LED indica-tor is lit indicates that the submenu of
a registerhas been entered.
Fig. 3. Example of the main and submenus for the settings of the
overcurrent relay module SPCJ3C3. The settings made with the
setting knobs are in the main menu and they are displayed
bypressing the STEP button. In addition to the setting knob
settings the main menu contains themeasured current values as well
as the registers 15, as well as 0 and A. The remote
settingpercentage and remote setting value are located in the
submenus for the settings and are activatedon the display by
pressing the RESET button.
Setting mode The registers of the main menu and the submenusalso
contain parameters to be set. The settingsare made in the so called
setting mode, which isaccessible from the main menu or a submenu
bypressing the RESET button, until the digit atthe extreme right
starts flashing (about 10 s).The flashing digit is set by means of
the STEPbutton. The flashing is moved on from digit todigit by
pressing the RESET button.
A set value is stored in the memory by pressingthe push-buttons
STEP and RESET simultane-ously. In practice the RESET button must
be
pressed slightly in excess of the STEP button.Return from the
setting mode to the main menuor submenu is possible by pressing
(for about 10s) the RESET button until the green digits onthe
display stop flashing. If the module is left inthe setting mode, it
will return automatically tothe start condition after about 5
minutes.
The values to be set in the setting mode are forinstance the
address code of the relay moduleand the data transfer rate for the
serial commu-nication. Further the percentage values for theremote
settings can be changed.
-
5Example 1: Function in the setting mode. Manual setting ofthe
address code of a relay module and the datatransfer rate for the
serial communication. Theinitial value for the address code is

e)Set the middle address digit by means of theSTEP button.
f)Press the RESET button to make the left mostgreen digit
flash.
g)Set the digit by means of the STEP button.
h)Store the set address number in the memory ofthe relay module
by pressing the RESET andSTEP button simultaneously. At the
momentthe information enters the memory, the threegreen dashes
flash in the display, i.e. A.
i)Leave the setting mode by pressing the RESETbutton for about
10 s, until the display stopsflashing.
j)Then enter submenu 1 of register A by pressingthe RESET button
for approx. one second. Theregister address A is then replaced by a
flashing1. This submenu is used for setting the datatransfer rate
of the serial communication.
k)The data transfer rate for the serial communica-tion is set
and stored in the same way as theaddress, see sections b...i,
except that the con-tinuously glowing register address has been
re-placed by a flashing 1.
l)After storing the data transfer rate for the
serialcommunication you may return to the mainmenu of register A by
pressing the STEP buttonfor about 0.5 second.
-
6Stored information The parameter values measured at the
momentwhen a fault occurs are recorded in the registers,in some
modules also the setting values. Therecorded data, except for some
setting param-eters, are set to zero by pressing the push-buttons
STEP and RESET simul-taneously.The data in normal registers are
erased if theauxiliary voltage supply to the relay is
disrupted,only the set values and the number ofautoreclosings are
maintained in the registers ata voltage failure.
The number of the registers varies with differentmodule types.
The function of the registers areillustrated in the descriptions of
the separaterelay modules. Additionally, the system panelcontains a
simplified list of the data recorded bythe various relay modules of
the relay assembly.
All C-type relay modules are provided with twogeneral registers:
register 0 and register A.
Register 0 contains, in coded form, the informa-tion about e.g.
external blocking signals andstatus information for the circuit
breaker. Thecodes are explained in the descriptions of therelay
modules.
Register A contains the address code of the relaymodule as
required by the serial communicationsystem. Example 1 on page 4
shows how theaddress code is altered. Submenu 1 of register
Acontains the data transfer rate value expressed inkilobaud for the
serial communication.
Submenu 2 of register A contains a bus trafficmonitor for the
SPACOM system. If the protec-tive relay, which contains the relay
module, islinked to a system including the control datacommunicator
and the data communicationsystem is operating, the counter reading
of themonitor will be zero. Otherwise the digits 1...255are
continuously rolling in the monitor.
Submenu 3 contains the password required forchanging the remote
settings. The address code,the data transfer rate for the serial
communica-tion and the password can be set manually or viathe
serial communication bus. For manual set-ting see example 1.
The start value for the address code and thepassword is 001 and
that for the data transferrate 9.6 kilobaud.
-
7Trip-test mode Register 0 also allows access to the so
calledTrip-test function, which allows the outputsignals of the
relay module to be activated one byone. If the auxiliary relay
module of the protec-tion assembly is in place, the auxiliary
relays willbe included in the testing.
When pressing the RESET button for about 10seconds, the three
green digits to the right startflashing to indicate that the relay
module is intest position. The indicators of the setting
knobsindicate by flashing which output signal can beactivated. The
required output function is se-lected by pressing the RESET button
for about1 second, until the following LED indicatorstarts
flashing.
The indicators of the setting knobs refer to thefollowing output
signals:Setting knob 1 SS1 Starting of stage 1Setting knob 2 TS1
Tripping of stage 1Setting knob 3 SS2 Starting of stage 2Setting
knob 4 TS2 Tripping of stage 2No indication IRF
Self-supervision
The selected starting or tripping is activated bysimultaneous
pressing of the push-buttons STEPand RESET. The signal remains
activated aslong as the two push-buttons are being pressed.
The self-supervision output is activated by press-ing the STEP
button once when no setting knobindicator is flashing. The IRF
output is acti-vated in about 5 seconds after pressing of theSTEP
button, and resets after that. Simultane-ously, the display returns
to the main menu andperforms the initial testing indicated by
rollingdigits 0...9 in the display several times.
The signals are selected in the order illustrated infig. 4.

8Example 2: Trip-test function. Forced activation of the
out-puts is made as follows:
a)Step forward on the display to register 0.
b)Press the RESET button for about 10 secondsuntil the three
green digits to the right and theLED indicator of the uppermost
setting knobstart flashing.
c)Press the push-buttons RESET and STEP si-multaneously. Then
the starting of stage 1 (e.g.the I>-stage of the overcurrent
module SPCJ3C3) is activated and, simultaneously, the indi-cator of
the stage starts glowing yellow.
d)Press the RESET button for about 1 seconduntil the indicator
of the second setting knobstarts flashing.
e)Press the push-buttons RESET and STEP si-multaneously to
activate tripping of stage 1 (e.g.the I>-stage of the
overcurrent module SPCJ3C3). The indicator of the concerned
stagestarts glowing red.
f)Starting and tripping of the second stage isactivated in the
same way as stage 1. The indica-tor of the third or fourth setting
starts flashing toindicate that the concerned stage has been
acti-vated.
g)To activate the self-supervision output step to-wards the test
position, where no indicator isflashing. Press the STEP button
once. In about5 seconds the red IRF indicator starts glowingand the
IRF output is activated. Shortly thereaf-ter the indicator goes out
and the output auto-matically resets. At the same time the
moduleleaves the test position.
h)It is possible to leave the trip test mode at anystep of the
sequence scheme by pressing theRESET button for about 10 seconds
until thethree digits to the right stop flashing.
-
9Operationindicators
A measuring relay module is provided with twoseparate operating
stages, each of which with itsown yellow/red operation indicator on
the lowerpart of the front plate of the relay module.
The operation indicator starts glowing yellowwhen the operating
stage starts and red when adelayed tripping operates. The functions
of thestart and operation indicators are described indetail in the
different protection relay modulemanuals.
Fault codes In addition to the protective functions the
relaymodule is provided with a self-supervision sys-tem which
continuously supervises the functionof the microprocessor, its
program executionand the electronics.
When the self-supervision system has detected apermanent fault
in the relay module, the redIRF indicator on the panel starts
glowing soonafter the fault was discovered. At the same timethe
module puts forward a signal to the self-supervision contact of the
relay assembly.
In most fault situations a fault code, indicatingthe nature of
the fault, appears on the display ofthe module. The fault code,
which consists of ared digit (1) and a three digit green code
number,cannot be removed from the display by reset-ting. When a
fault occurs, the fault code shouldbe recorded and stated when
service is ordered.
