Characteristics Three-phase overcurrent unit with definite time characteristic Phase unbalance indicator with definite time characteristic Neutral residual overcurrent unit Alternative analog or digital outputs if SPA bus not available Digital display of measured and set values and sets of data recorded at the moment when a fault occurs All measured values are displayed in amperes All settings may be entered via the push-buttons on the front panel or via a personal computer Continuous self-supervision of hardware and software. At a permanent internal fault all stages and outputs are blocked. This fault signal can be read via Weidmuller connection X1-6. Application The fault indicator SPEF 3A2 C is used in disconnector terminal units (DTU) with KOHU 24A1 or KOKU 072G3 current sensors to indicate short-circuit faults, earth faults and broken lines in a medium voltage distribution network. With the fault indicator it is possible to get information about measured and set values via a disconnector terminal unit to a SPIDER or MicroSCADA. This information can be used e.g. to locate faults in a medium voltage distribution network. If no serial communication (SPA bus) is available, it is possible to use output relays and analog outputs. The analog outputs are continuously monitoring the condition of the network and the output relays are signalling fault indications.

Description of functions Overcurrent unit The overcurrent unit of the fault indicator SPEF 3A2 C is designed for single-phase, two-phase or three-phase operation. The stage starts if the current on one of the phases exceeds the setting value of the stage concerned. When starting the concerned stage indicates starting on the digital display on the front panel. If the overcurrent situation lasts long enough to exceed the set operate time, the stage that started provides an alarm signal. At the same time the alarm indicator is lit with yellow light. The yellow indicator remains on although the stage resets. The alarm indicator is reset with the reset button. The alarm signal is always routed to overcurrent contact X1-8. The start current setting range I> of the unit is 30 300 A. The operating time t> is set in seconds within the setting range, 0.06 300 s. The operation of overcurrent stage is provided with a latching facility (SGF1/4) keeping the alarm output energized, although the signal which caused the operation disappears. The output relays may be reset by pressing the PRO- GRAM push-button, by pressing the RESET and PROGRAM push-buttons simultaneously, by remote control over the external input or over the SPA bus using the command V101 or the command V102. The minimum pulse length for the signal delivered by the I> stage can be set to 80 ms or 1 s (switch SGF1/1). Note! The latching function for I> stage (SGF1/4) will overrun this function. Earth fault unit The non-directional earth fault indicator is based on the sum of phase currents. The earth fault stage starts if the energizing current I 0 exceeds the set starting level of the stage concerned. When starting the concerned stage indicates starting on the display on the front panel. If the above mentioned criterions are fulfilled long enough to exceed the set operate time, the stage that started provides an alarm signal. At the same time the yellow alarm indicator is lit with yellow light. The yellow indicator remains on although the stage resets. The alarm indicator is reset with the reset button. The alarm signal is always routed to the earth fault contact X1-9. The setting range I 0 > of the earth fault unit is 2 20 A or (indicated by "- - -"). The operate time t 0 > is set in seconds within the setting range 0.1 300 s. The operation of earth fault stage is provided with a latching facility (SGF1/5) keeping the alarm output energized, although the signal which caused the operation disappears. The output relays may be reset by pressing the PRO- GRAM push-button, by pressing the RESET and PROGRAM push-buttons simultaneously, by remote control over the external input or over the SPA bus using the command V101 or the V102. The operation of earth fault unit may be set out of operation by means of switch SGF1/7. When the earth fault unit is out of operation the display indicates "- - -", which means that the operation value is infinite. The minimum pulse length for the signal delivered by the I 0 > stage can be set to 80 ms or 1 s with switch SGF1/2. Note! The latching function for I 0 > stage (SGF1/5) will overrun this function. 9
Phase unbalance unit The phase unbalance unit constitutes a definite time current unbalance unit. The unbalance of the power system is detected by monitoring the highest and the lowest phase current values, i.e. the unbalance = 100% x (I Lmax -I Lmin )/I Lmax. At full unbalance the display shows 100% which equals a negative phase sequence current I 2 = 57.8%. If the unbalance exceeds the set operating level I, the unit starts and a timer is started. If the unbalance situation lasts long enough to exceed the set operate time, the phase unbalance stage provides an alarm signal. At the same time the yellow alarm indicator is lit. The yellow indicator remains on although the stage resets. The alarm indicator is reset with the reset button. The alarm signal is always routed to unbalance contact X1-10. The setting range of the starting current is 10 60% or (indicated as "- - -"). The basic operate time is set within the range 1 300 s. The operation of the phase unbalance stage I is provided with a latching facility (SGF1/6) keeping the alarm output energized, although the signal, which caused the operation disappears. The output relays may be reset by pressing the PROGRAM push-button, pressing the RESET and PROGRAM push-buttons simultaneously, by remote control over the external input or over the SPA bus using the command V101 or the V102. The operation of unbalance unit may be set out of operation by means of switch SGF1/8. When the unbalance unit is set of operation the display indicates "- - -", which means that the operation value is infinite. The minimum pulse length for the signal delivered by the I stage can be set to 80 ms or 1 s with switch SGF1/3. The latching function for the I> stage (SGF1/6) will overrun this function. Note! To secure a proper operation of the phase unbalance unit in a two-phase application, the two phase currents should be summed up in the third phase current transformer, i.e. a virtual third phase is established. Note! To prevent the fault indicator unit from unwanted alarm signals, the earth fault and unbalance units will be blocked by the overcurrent unit. Additionally, the unbalance will be blocked in a single earth fault situation. Resetting possibilities The start and operation indicators on the front panel of the module, the latched output relays and registers 1-8 can be reset locally or by remote control as presented in the following table: Resetting of start Resetting of latched Resetting indicators and operation output relay of values recorded RESET X PROGRAM & display off X X STEP & RESET X X X parameter V101 X X parameter V102 X X X BS & SGB/1=1 X BS & SGB/2=1 X X BS & SGB/3=1 X X X Analog outputs for phase current, residual current or phase unbalance The fault indicator is provided with three analog outputs to be connected to any external device. When this facility is used, the max. phase current, residual current or phase unbalance can at any instant be read out by a meter or a programmable logic controller. The outputs are 0 5 Vdc signals. The scaling for phase current and residual current outputs are dependent on the setting of range selectors. These range selectors can be changed via submenus on the front panel or serial parameters S10 (I>) and S11 (I 0 >). The selected range values for I> are 10 A, 20 A, 50 A, 100 A, 200 A and 500 A and for I 0 > 5 A,10 A, 20 A, 50 A and 100 A. E.g: If the range selector parameter for phase current is set to 500 then the scaling of the primary current 0 500 A is 0 5 V over the phase current output X1-14. Thus a phase current of 100 A will give 1 V over output X1-14. 10

Front panel of the fault indicator SPEF 3A2 C Operation indicators Each stage has its own operation indicator shown as a red figure to the left on the digital display. Further, all stages have a common indicator named "ALARM"; a yellow LED indicates that the module has delivered an alarm signal. The red operation indicator on the display remains illuminated when the stage resets, thus indicating which stage has operated. If the start of a stage does not last long enough to cause an alarm, the start indication on the display is normally self-reset when the stage is reset. If needed, the start indicators can be given a latching function by means of switches SGF2/ 1 3. The following table explains the start and alarm indicators on the display. Indication nr Explanation 1 I> start The overcurrent stage I> has started 2 I> alarm The overcurrent stage I> has given an alarm 3 I 0 > start The earth fault stage I 0 > has started 4 I 0 > alarm The earth fault stage I 0 > has given an alarm 5 I> start Stage I> has started 6 I> alarm Stage I> has given an alarm The red self-supervision alarm indicator IRF indicates that the self-supervision system has detected a permanent fault. The indicator is lit about 1 minute after the fault has been detected. At the same time the plug-in module delivers a signal to the self-supervision system output connection X1-6. Additionally, in most cases, a fault code showing the nature of the fault appears on the display of the module. The fault code, which consists of a red figure one and a green code number, cannot be erased from the display of the module by resetting. When a fault occurs, the fault code should be recorded and stated when service, is ordered. 11

Recorded data When the fault indicator provides an alarm signal, the current values at the moment of the alarm, the duration of the start of the different units and other parameters are stored in a five-place memory stack. A new event moves the old values up one place and adds the new value to the first place of the stack which contains registers 1 8. Five events are memorized - if a sixth alarm occurs, the oldest set of values will be lost. A master reset (pressing the push-buttons RESET and PROGRAM simultaneously) of the relay erases all the contents of the register blocks. The left-most red digit displays the register address and the other three digits the recorded information. Note! A symbol "//" in the text indicates that the following item is found in a submenu.

Event codes When the fault indicator module SPEF 3A2 C is linked to a control data communicator over the SPA bus, the module will provide timestamped events e.g. to a printer. The events are printed out in the format: time, user-specified text and event code. The events are generated on start, alarm, resetting and output relay operation. Every function has its own code designation from E1 E18. Masking parameters can be used to inhibit events from being generated by one or several functions. An event buffer is capable of memorizing up to eight events. If more than eight events occur before the content of the buffer has been sent to the communicator an overflow event "E51" is generated. This event has to be reset by writing a command "0" to parameter C over the SPA bus. More information about the serial communication over the SPA bus can be found in the document "SPA- BUS COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL", 34 SPACOM 2 EN1.

Data to be transferred over the bus In addition to the event data transfer the SPA bus allows reading of all input data (I-data), setting values (S-data), information recorded in the memory (V-data), and some other data of the module. Further, part of the data can be altered by commands given over the SPA bus. All the data are available in channel 0. Parameters can be changed only by opening a password. The password is a value within the range 1 999. The password is opened by writing a value to the communication parameter V160 and closed by writing the value to parameter V161. The password is also closed when the auxiliary power supply is switched off. The password can be changed via the SPA bus or with the push-buttons on the unit. When using the SPA bus, the password must be opened. The new password is written to parameter V161. When using the push-buttons, the password is changed in subregister 3 of register A, where the old password is replaced by a new one. If a wrong password is entered 7 times, the password turns to zero, in which case it is no longer possible to open it via the bus. Then the password can be given a new value only by using the push-buttons.

If a fault occurs e.g. in the data transfer, the contents of the event register read by the L command may be re-read by using the B command. When required, the B-command can be repeated. Generally, the control data communicator reads the event data and forwards them to the output device continuously. Under normal conditions the event register of the module is empty. In the same way the data communicator resets abnormal status data, so this data is normally zero. The setting values S1 S11 are the setting values used by the fault indicator functions. All the settings can be read or written. A condition for writing is that a remote set password has been opened. When settings are changed, manually or remotely, the relay unit checks that the variable values are within the ranges specified in the technical data of the module. If not, the unit, will not store the value, but keeps the previous setting. 23
Fault codes A short time after the internal self-supervision system has detected a permanent relay fault the red IRF indicator is lit and a signal is delivered to the output connection X1-6. Further, in most fault situations, an auto-diagnostic fault code is shown on the display. This fault code consists of a red figure 1 and a green code number that indicates the fault type. The code number should be recorded and stated when service or repair is ordered. Below some fault codes that might appear with the unit SPEF 3A2 C: Fault code Type of error in module 30 Faulty programme memory (ROM) 50 Faulty work memory (RAM) 51 Parameter memory (EEPROM) block 1 faulty 52 Parameter memory (EEPROM) block 2 faulty 53 Parameter memory (EEPROM) block 1 and block 2 faulty 54 Parameter memory (EEPROM) block 1 and block 2 faulty with different checksums 56 Parameter memory (EEPROM) key faulty. Format by writing a "2" to variable V167 195 Too low value in reference channel with multiplier 1 131 Too low value in reference channel with multiplier 5 67 Too low value in reference channel with multiplier 25 203 Too high value in reference channel with multiplier 1 139 Too high value in reference channel with multiplier 5 75 Too high value in reference channel with multiplier 25 252 The I 0 hardware filter is faulty Maintenance and repair When the relay is operating under the conditions specified in the section "Technical data", it is practically maintenance-free. The relay modules include no parts or components subject to abnormal physical or electrical wear under normal operating conditions. If the environmental conditions at the fault indicator operating site differ from those specified, as to temperature, humidity, or if the atmosphere around the indicator contains chemically active gases or dust, the indicator ought to be visually inspected in association with the indicator secondary test. The visual inspection should focus on the following things: - Signs of mechanical damage to the fault indicator module, contacts and case - Signs of corrosion on terminals, in or outside the case If the relay fails in operation or if the operating values differ from those specified the relay should be given a proper overhaul. Major measures involving the electronics are to be taken by the manufacturer. Please contact the manufacturer or his nearest representative for further information about checking, overhaul and recalibration of the relay. Note! Static relays are measuring instruments and should be handled with care and protected against moisture and mechanical stress, especially during transport. Spare parts See chapter serial communication connections on page 5. 24
Dimensions and instructions for mounting The case is made of painted zinc coated steel sheet. The case text on the front is silk screen printed. The degree of protection is IP 20.
