Introduction
1.1
Overall function
Measuring
principle
The main function of the 7SS60 protection system is a busbar protection that operates
with the differential current measuring principle. The algorithm of the 7SS60 relies on
Kirchhoffs current law, which states that in fault-free condition the vectorial sum I
flowing into a closed busbar section must be zero. This summated current will be referred to in this chapter as differential current Id.
Restraint
Some slight deviations from this law may be caused by current transformer errors, inaccuracies in the matching of the transformation ratios and measuring inaccuracies.
Further errors, which may be due, for instance, to transformer saturation in case of
high-current external short-circuits, are counteracted by a load-dependent supplementary restraint. From the load condition the restraint current IR is derived. This restraint current is formed as the summated magnitudes of all currents in the peripheral
module 7TM700.
Detection of
measured values
The differential and the restraint current are fed into the 7SS601 measuring system.
In systems with multiple busbars or sectionalized busbars, each selective section uses
one 7SS601 measuring system (variant with summation current transformer) or three
measuring systems (phase-selective measurement). The correct allocation of the
feeder currents to the appropriate 7SS601 measuring system is ensured by the peripheral module 7TR710 (preferential treatment/isolator replica).
Pick-up
characteristic
The characteristic can be set in the parameters for Id> (pick-up value) and for the
k factor, which considers the linear and non-linear current transformer errors. The setting for the pick-up value must be chosen according to the smallest fault current to be
expected. Differential currents above the set characteristic lead to tripping. The
threshold for the differential current supervision is set in the parameter ID thr.

Characteristic of the 7SS601 measuring system
If a measuring system 7SS601 recognizes a tripping condition, the circuit breakers of

the involved feeders must be tripped. This requires an isolator replica which is generated on the module 7TR710 (isolator replica/preferential treatment) from the position
of the isolators. Basing on this isolator replica a TRIP command of a measuring system is distributed to the circuit breakers.

Introduction
Functional
components
The 7SS60 digital busbar protection has two separate functional parts. One part is the
7SS601 measuring system. The measuring system detects and processes the measured values. It evaluates the restraint current IR and the differential current Id and
makes a tripping decision where required. The other part of the system, which will be
referred to as peripheral system, has the task of summating the feeder currents and
feeding the current sum into the measured value detection system. The current summation takes into account the switchgear status of the station.
If selective protection is desired for each phase, each phase is allocated its own measuring system. Otherwise, the three phase currents are combined in a summation current transformer, and the result processed. In that case only one measuring system is
required.
If a busbar is divided into two sections by a sectionalizing isolator or a bus coupler,
each section must have its own measuring system. Accordingly, six measuring systems are required for the phase-selective protection.
7SS601
measuring system
The 7SS601 measuring system can detect one alternating current Id and one pulsating direct current IR. The measuring inputs are galvanically isolated from the electronic
equipment by a current transformer or an optocoupler.
3 binary inputs are provided for the detection of external binary signals.
The system has 2 command relays with supervision. Command relay 1 consists of 2
relays connected in parallel. This relay cannot be marshalled; the function %3 7ULS
()1R ) is permanently allocated to it. Command relay 2 is available for having
command functions marshalled to it. All command relays have a NO contact.
It has also 3 signal relays with changeover contacts, one of which is used for output
of the device blocked annunciation. The relay functionality (NC or NO) can be selected
by a jumper setting. The module is equipped with a serial RS485 interface. The converter for the auxiliary power supply is integrated in the module.
Peripheral system
Depending on the type and size of the systems that are to be protected by the 7SS60
busbar protection, different types and numbers of peripheral modules are needed. The
peripheral modules are installed in a 7XP204 housing; the number of housings required is determined by the number of modules used. Each 7XP204 housing can hold
up to 4 peripheral modules.
The following modules are available for the different functions:
Restraint/command output module 7TM700
Preferential treatment/isolator replica module 7TR710
Command output module 7TS720
Restraint/command
output module
7TM700
This module comprises 5 units for the formation of restraint currents. It has also 5 independent TRIP command relays with 2 NO contacts each for multiplication of TRIP
commands generated by the 7SS601 measuring system.
The secondary current from the main current transformer of a feeder is normalized to
100 mA by a matching or summation current transformer and fed into the Id summation path of the associated measuring system. The summation current Id is thus equivalent to the vectorial addition of all feeder currents. Beside Id, the measuring system
requires a restraint value, which is formed by adding up the magnitudes of all currents.
The restraint units are used to form the current magnitudes. They rectify the feeder
currents and add them up in the IR summation path.

Introduction
Isolator replica
module/preferential
treatment module
This module can be used to implement 2 different functions which will be presented in
the following.
Isolator replica
The isolator replica function detects the status of 2 isolators.

It allows e.g. to recognize the status of both isolators in a double busbar system. The
isolator status determines the allocation of the feeder currents to the appropriate measuring system. It also ensures the stability and greatest possible selectivity of the protection system during dynamic processes such as switching operations.
Preferential
treatment
If, during a changeover of a feeder in a double busbar system, both isolators of a feeder are closed for a short time, no selective protection of the two busbars is possible.
The same is true for busbar sections that are connected by closing a sectionalizing
isolator. Whereas each of the two sections has so far been protected by its own measuring system, the protection function is assumed by only one measuring system after
connecting the two sections. This is referred to as preferential treatment.
As several relays or modules may be involved in the switching action, there may be
an undefined allocation of the differential and restraint currents to the measuring systems during a few milliseconds caused by different relay switching times.
The blocking pulse required for system stability is generated automatically on the
module within the corresponding time.
Also an auxiliary relay is included with two changeover contacts.
Command output
module 7TS720
This module comprises 8 independent command relays with 2 NO contacts each for
multiplication of the TRIP command generated by the 7SS601 measuring system.
It is necessary to multiply the TRIP command if the two NO contacts of the 7TR710
modules are not sufficient for command output to the circuit breakers. The measuring
system initiates the TRIP command first through a NO contact. In the simplest case,
an auxiliary voltage is fed directly from this contact onto the 7TS720 module, where it
causes one or more relay coils to pick up.
Transformers
Figure 1-2
1-4
The differential current input Id of the 7SS60 is designed for 1 x In = 100 mA. Therefore, a transformer must be provided between the 7SS60 and the main current transformer. In phase-selective protection systems, matching transformers are used; otherwise there will be summation current transformers.

Introduction
Wiring
The 7SS60 busbar protection system is suited for a large variety of power systems,
from single busbar configurations without sectionalizing isolators to double busbars
with sectionalizing isolators and transversal couplers. The summation currents Id and
IR are distributed among the measuring systems by relay modules that provide for
connection of nearly all relay contacts to connecting points. This provides for a high
degree of flexibility of the modules. One configuration task is to design the wiring between the modules, the modules and the 7SS601 measuring systems, and to the primary equipment, in accordance with the desired function.
Mounting
The 7SS60 busbar protection system is made up of individual components which are
then mounted station-specifically in cubicles or mounting panels.

Introduction
1.2
Application scope
The 7SS60 busbar protection is an easily settable numerical differential current protection for busbars.
It is suitable for all voltage levels and can be adapted to a large variety of busbar configurations. The components available are designed in particular for:
11/2 - circuit breaker systems
single busbars (with/without sectionalizing isolators)
double busbars with sectionalizing isolators, longitudinal couplers and transversal
couplers
These types of systems are shown in the following figures.
Single-phase measurement can be achieved by using external summation current
transformers. The use of matching transformers allows phase-selective measurement.
For extra security, an additional measuring system (check zone) can be implemented.
The busbar protection system is designed to be the successor of the 7SS1 static busbar protection. Where it replaces this system, the existing matching transformers and
summation current transformers can be used with the new system as well.

Housing

All protection functions including dc/dc converter are accommodated on a printed circuit board of double Europe format. This p.c.b. forms, complemented by a guide plate,
a multi-pin terminal module (p.c.b. side) and a front unit, the plug-in module which is
mounted in a 7XP20 housing. The inner part of the housing is free from enamel and
thus functions as a large contact plane and shield with solid electrical conductivity and
mates with the earthing plates of the module. Connection to earth is made before the
plugs make contact. An earthing area marked with an earth symbol has been provided
at the housing rear. At this area an earthing strip must be connected with two earthing
screws in order to ensure solid low-impedance earthing.

Identification
of peripheral
modules
The peripheral modules are identified by a labelling strip on the housing front on which
the currently fitted modules are stated. This information should contain the designation
of the peripheral modules in accordance with their mounting position, and their voltage
ranges. Each peripheral module has a sticker with basic information that is placed on
the top of the housing after mounting into the peripheral housing.
Allocation of plugon connectors to

pin connectors
To ensure the correct allocation of the plug-on connectors to the pins of the different
peripheral modules, the plug-on connectors must be marked with the self-adhesive labels provided. The marking system for this is shown in Figure 2-2.
Example:
The self-adhesive label with the pin names "11, 12, ..., 20" and the labels with the letters "A B C D X1 X2" is to be stuck onto the top plug-on connector at the left-hand side
of the mounting slot A. Make a cross in the field that corresponds to the pin connector.
In the following example, see Figure 2-3, fields "A" and "X1" have a cross.
If several peripheral devices are used, the housings must be identified in accordance
with the configuration documentation of the system.

Unpacking and repacking of devices and modules

The devices and modules are packed in the factory such that the requirements of
IEC 60255-21 are fulfilled.
Unpacking and repacking must be performed with the usual care, without force and
only with the aid of suitable tools. The devices and modules must be visually checked
to ensure that they have not been mechanically damaged.
Please observe the instruction leaflet and any other documentation that may be part
of the delivery.
The shipping packaging can be reused in the same manner for further shipment. If other packaging is used, shock requirements under IEC 60255-21-1 Class 2 and
IEC 60255-21-2 Class 1 must be met.
The devices and modules should be in the final operating area for a minimum of two
hours before the power source is first applied. This time allows the device to attain
temperature equilibrium, and prevents dampness and condensation.

Check of the rated data
Ordering code
First of all, check the complete ordering code (MLFB) of the units and modules to ensure that the versions delivered comply with the required rated data and functions, and
that the necessary and desired accessories are complete. The complete ordering
code of the devices and modules can be found on their rating stickers.
The 7SS601 measuring system has its rating sticker on the front of the housing.
The peripheral modules come with a rating sticker that is placed the housing in which
the peripheral module is installed during assembly of the system.
The ordering code and the meaning of its digits are shown in Table A-1. The most important point is the matching of the rated device data to the station ratings. This information is found on the rating sticker. The measuring system is delivered with the binary inputs set in such a way that a dc voltage of the same level as the auxiliary supply
voltage is required for their activation. The jumper settings are listed in Appendix A.4.
The delivery status of the peripheral modules is shown in Appendix A.5.
3.2.2
Electrical check
The operating conditions must accord with VDE 0100 and VDE 0105 Part 1.
The unit should be in the final operating area for a minimum of two hours before the
power source is first applied. This time allows the device to attain temperature equilibrium, and prevents dampness and condensation.
Warning!
Some of the following checks are carried out in presence of hazardous voltages. They
must only be performed by qualified personnel which is thoroughly familiar with all
safety regulations and precautionary measures and pays due attention to them.
For a first electrical check of the system, it is sufficient to ensure a reliable earthing

Storage
If units or modules are to be stored, the following storage conditions should be observed:
SIPROTEC devices and modules should be stored in dry and clean rooms. For storage of devices, peripheral modules or related spare modules the applicable temperature range is between 25 C and +55 C (refer also to section 9.1 under Technical
Data).
It is recommended to limit the temperature range for storage to values between +10 C
and +35 C in order to avoid early ageing of the electrolytic capacitors in the power
supplies.
The relative humidity must not cause condensation or ice.
Furthermore it is recommended to connect the devices and modules to auxiliary voltage for about 1 or 2 days every two years, so that the electrolytic capacitors in the
power supplies are formatted. The same procedure should be followed before installing these devices. In case of extreme climatic conditions (tropical), this pre-heats the
device and avoids condensation.
The units and modules should be in the final operating area for a minimum of two
hours before the power source is first applied. This time allows the device to attain
temperature equilibrium, and prevents dampness and condensation.

7SS60 Manual
E50417-G1176-C132-A2
Configuration
For the above example you need the following:

Two 7SS601 measuring systems:
These are needed for the detection and evaluation of the differential and restraint
currents.
One 7TM70 restraint/command output module:
3 of the 5 restraint units are used for the formation of restraint currents. Also 3 of
the 5 independent TRIP command relays are used with 2 NO contacts each for multiplication of TRIP commands generated by the 7SS601 measuring system.
One 7TR71 preferential treatment/isolator replica module:
One of the two existing preferential treatment modules is used.
When the longitudinal sectionalizers is closed, no selective protection of the two
busbars is possible. Therefore, one of the two measuring systems is preferred in
this condition (in the above example the left one). The detection of such a condition
and the necessary switchover is performed by this module 7TR71.
One 7XP204 housing:
Accommodates the 7TM70 module and the 7TR71 module.
3 summation current transformers 4AM5120-3DA00-0AN2 or -4DA00-0AN2.
Note:
For the configuration of the entire system an extra manual is available.

4.2.1
Entering a password
For most operational functions, the input of a password is necessary. The password
is a predefined key sequence which must be entered before any inputs can be made.
This applies for all entries via operator keypad or user interface which concern the
functions of the 7SS601 measuring system, such as:
system design parameters for operating language, interface and device configuration,
marshalling of command relays, alarms, binary inputs, LED indications,
setting of operational parameters (thresholds, functions),
starting of test procedures.
In order to indicate authorized operation and to prevent unintended alterations, the
password must be entered before any alteration can be performed.
When a menu item is selected which requires password input, press one of the keys
+ or to inform the system of the intended alteration. The display then shows the
prompt &: which indicates that the password is required. The password itself consists of the key sequence + .
The entered characters do not appear in the display; instead only a symbol # appears. After confirmation of the correct input with E the display responds with
&: 2.B. Press the key E again.
If the password is not correct, the display shows &: :521*. Pressing the keys + or
allows another attempt at password entry.
By pressing the enter key E one more time the menu item is displayed again, this time
with an underscore to indicate that alterations can now be made. Use the keys + or
in order to change the presented text or numerical values. A flashing cursor indicates
that the system operates now in alteration mode, starting with the first alteration and
ending after confirmation of the altered item with the enter key E. The alteration mode
is equally ended when the setting menu is left or after an internal waiting time.

Marshalling of binary inputs, binary outputs and LED indicators
4.2.3.1
Introduction
Block 60
When the device is delivered from the factory, the LED indicators on the front cover,
the binary inputs and the output relays have already information assigned to them.
The assignment of most items of information can, however, be rearranged to adapt
them to the on-site conditions.
The marshalling procedure assigns certain items of information which the system generates or requires to certain physical interfaces (e.g. input and output units), or to logical interfaces.
The user decides which information will be linked with which interface of the system.
In addition, certain properties can be allocated to information and to interfaces.
7SS60 Manual
E50417-G1176-C132-A2
4-5
Configuration
Note:
Annunciation of previous events can be lost during marshalling. Therefore, the operational and the fault annunciation buffer should be read out before alterations are
made later on.
Before you begin with the marshalling procedure, you should have a concept that
matches the required input and output information to the number of physically available inputs and outputs of the device.
Marshalling of the inputs, outputs and LEDs is performed by means of the integrated
user interface or via the serial link. The operation of the user interface is described in
detail in section 3.3.1. Marshalling begins at the address block .
The input of the password is required for marshalling (refer to section 4.2.1). Without
password entry, parameters can be read out but not changed. A flashing cursor indicates that the system operates now in alteration mode, starting with the first alteration
after entering the password and ending with the end of the marshalling procedure.
Example for
binary outputs
A fault is registered by the differential current supervision function. This event is generated in the device as a logical annunciation signal and should be available at certain
terminals of the unit as a NO contact. Since specific unit terminals are hard-wired to a
specific (physical) signal relay, e.g. to the signal relay 2, the processor must be advised that the logical signal ,GV IOW should be transmitted to the signal relay 2.
Thus, when marshalling is performed two statements of the operator are important:
which (logical) annunciation should trigger which (physical) signal relay? Up to 20
logical annunciations can trigger one (physical) signal relay.
Example for
binary inputs
A similar situation applies to binary inputs. In this case external information (e.g.
!%3 EOR) is connected to the unit via a (physical) input module and should initiate
a (logical) function, namely blocking. The corresponding question to the operator is
then: which signal from a (physical) input relay should initiate which reaction in the
device?
Logical annunciation functions can be used in multiple manner. For instance, one annunciation function can trigger several signal relays, several command relays, additionally be indicated by LEDs, and be controlled by a binary input unit.
The marshalling procedure is set up such that for each (physical) input or output unit
(binary input, signal relay, LED or command relay) the operator will be asked which
(logical functions should be allocated.
The offered logical functions are tabulated in the following sections.
With the device operative, the marshalling blocks are reached from the initial display
as follows:

If one tries to leave an item or operation level by pressing one of the arrow keys without having confirmed the allocation with the enter key E, the display will show the
question 6$9( 1(: 6(77,1* ". Confirm with the YES key Y/J that the new settings shall become valid now. The next text is displayed now. If you press the NO key
N instead, all alterations which have been changed since the E key was last pressed
are lost, and the old text is displayed. Thus, erroneous alterations can be made ineffective. Press the arrow key again in order to change really the operating item or level.
When the marshalling procedure is terminated by pressing the enter key E, the allocations are permanently secured in EEPROMs and protected against power outage.
4.2.3.2
Block 61
Marshalling of the binary inputs

The unit contains 3 binary inputs which are designated BI 1 to BI 3. They can be marshalled in address block . The block is reached from the initial display in level 1 as
follows: press the key
(forwards), move to the 2nd operation level by key
(next
level); press the key
repeatedly until block appears in the display. Key
leads
to operation level 3 with address block 0$56+ %,1,13.
The selection procedure is carried out as described in section 4.2.3.1.
A choice can be made for each individual input function as to whether the desired function should become operative in the normally open mode or in the normally closed
mode, which means:
( ) normally open mode:
The input acts as an NO contact, i.e. the control voltage at the input terminals activates the function;
(&) normally closed mode:
The input acts as an NC contact, i.e. control voltage at the input terminals turns off
the function, control voltage absent activates the function.
When scrolling through the display with + or , each input function is displayed without
any index (which indicates the normally open mode) and with the index & (normally
closed mode). The selected function must then be confirmed with the enter key E.
Table 4-2 shows a complete list of all binary input functions with their associated function number (FNo.).
Note:
Conventional binary inputs are level-triggered whereas the binary input of the 7SS601

has been detected, the TRIP command output is blocked for a fixed time. This ensures
that the blocking duration is constant, regardless of the duration of the signal that stimulated the input. The Blocking pulse function is marshallable. Only the binary input
to which the Blocking pulse is marshalled is edge-triggered; all other binary inputs
are level-triggered.

The 7SS601 measuring system is equipped with a serial RS485 interface. To adapt it
to a PC interface, an RS485/RS232 converter is required. Communication via this
interface requires some data arrangements such as identification of the device, transmission format and transmission rate.
These data are entered to the device in address block . password input is necessary (refer to section 4.2.1). The data must be matched to the connected devices.

Device address
The identification number of the device within the substation can be set in parameter
'(9,&( (). The number can be chosen at liberty, but must be used only once
within the plant system. Setting values between 1 and 254 are possible.
If several modules are series-connected, each 7SS601 device must be assigned a
different address in the protection and the PC before operation with the DIGSI PC is
started.
Feeder address
The feeder address is understood to be the unique number of the feeder within the
substation. It is set in parameter )(('(5 (). Setting values between 1 and 254
are possible.
Substation address
In case more than one substation is addressed, an identification number for each substation can be assigned in parameter 68%67$ (). Setting values between 1
and 254 are possible.
Data format
In the parameter 3&6( () the data format of the serial interface can be
matched to the application. The recommended data format for the Siemens protection
data processing program is ',*6, 9. The other setting option is $6&,,, e.g. for terminal programs.
Transmission gaps
The setting of the GAPS in the parameter *$36 () is relevant only when the
device is intended to communicate via a modem. The setting is the maximum time period which is tolerated by the device when gaps occur during transmission of a telegram. Gaps may occur, when modems are used, by compression of data, error correction, and differences of the baud rate. Setting values between 0.0 s and 5.0 s are
possible. With good transmission quality between the modems, 1.0 s is recommended. The value should be increased when transmission quality is not so good. It must
be noted that GAPS must be smaller than the setting of reaction time protection relay
in the protection software DIGSI V3. Recommended value:
Reaction time protection relay
GAPS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------2
Higher values for reaction time protection relay reduce the transmission speed in
case of transmission errors. If the interface is connected directly to a personal computer, GAPS may be set to 0.0 s.

Measurement method
Basic principle
The measurement method by which the 7SS60 numerical busbar protection detects a
short-circuit in the protected zone relies on Kirchhoffs current law. This law states that
the vectorial sum of all currents flowing into a closed area must be zero.
Figure 5-1
Busbar with n feeders
Assuming that the currents J1, J2, J3 to Jn flow in the feeders connected to the busbar,
the following equation applies in the fault-free condition (the currents flowing towards
the busbar are defined as positive, and the currents flowing away from the busbar as
negative):
J1 + J2 + J3 ... + Jn = 0
If this equation is not fulfilled, there must be some other - impermissible - path through
which a current flows. This means that there is a fault in the busbar region.
This law is superior, as the basis for busbar protection, to any other known way of
measurement. Its simplicity is unequalled: a single quantity, the sum of currents,
characterizes, and can be used to detect, faulty conditions. This sum of all currents
can be formed at any time, even over a whole cycle, and if formed as such, using
instantaneous current values, full use of above law can be made.
The above considerations apply strictly to the primary-side conditions in a high-voltage
switching station. Protection systems, however, cannot carry out direct measurements
of currents in high-voltage systems. Protection equipment measurement systems,
performing the current comparisons, are connected through current transformers. The
secondary windings provide the currents scaled down according to the transformation
ratio while retaining the same phase relation. Furthermore, the current transformers,
due to the isolation of their secondary circuits from the high-voltage system and by
appropriate earthing measures, can keep dangerous high voltages away from the
protection system.
The characteristics of the current transformers are an important factor for the correct
operation of the protection. Their physical locations mark the limits of the protection
zone covered by the protection system.
Since the current transformers proportionally transform the primary currents flowing in
the system, a single-phase busbar protection that monitors the summated feeder
currents would have the basic circuit shown in Figure 5-2.
5-2
7SS60 Manual
E50417-G1176-C132-A2
Functions
Figure 5-2
Differential protection of a busbar with n feeders, 1-phase, without restraining

devices
For simplicitys sake, it is assumed that the current transformers of all feeders have
the same transformation ratio. Although such a busbar protection would certainly
detect any short-circuit inside the protection zone, the transformation errors of the
current transformers, which are unavoidable to some degree, are also liable to cause
spurious tripping as a result of an external short-circuit. In that case, for instance with
a close-up fault on one of the feeder bays, the current flowing into the short-circuit is
shared on the infeed side by several bays. The current transformers in the infeeding
bays carry only a fraction of the total fault current while the current transformer in the
faulted feeder bay carries the full current in its primary winding. If the fault current is
very high, this set of current transformers may therefore be saturated, so tending to
deliver only a fraction of the actual current on the secondary side while the rest of the
current transformers, due to the distribution of currents among several bays, perform
properly. Although the sum of the currents is zero on the primary side, the sum of the
currents in Figure 5-2 is now no longer zero.
In conventional differential protection systems where the sum of the currents is zero
on the primary side, for busbars and similar objects, this difficulty is countered by
employment of the so-called stabilization (restraining) devices.
If the short-circuit does not occur at the voltage peak of the cycle, a dc component is
initially superimposed on the short-circuit current which decays with a time constant
= L / R of the impedance from source to fault. With the growing output ratings of the
generator units, these time constants in the supply system tend to grow longer. A
superimposed dc component speeds up the magnetic saturation in the transformer
cores, thus considerably affecting the transformation task.
Several measures have been introduced into the 7SS601 measuring system of the
7SS60 busbar protection to cope with these problems. It was thus possible to give the
7SS60 busbar protection system a maximum degree of security against spurious
operation for external short-circuits while ensuring, in the event of internal shortcircuits, that a tripping signal is initiated within a very short time.
The measuring circuit of the 7SS60 busbar protection system is characterized by the
following features:

Basic circuit,
supervision
The simple circuit shown in Figure 5-2 is sufficient to derive the sum of all feeder
currents in one phase, provided that the current transformers of all feeders have the
same transformation ratio. In most cases, however, the current transformers of the
feeders in a power system will have different transformation ratios because the
incoming and outgoing lines carry different rated currents and the transformers are
matched to these currents. To provide the uniform transformation ratio required by the
busbar protection, matching CTs are installed upstream of the protection system input;
these transformers are designed to convert the input from the main current
transformers into an identical transformation ratio for all feeders. In the 7SS60 system
the matchting CTs are also responsible for matching to the nominal current of the
measuring inputs. The output current of the matching CTs is 100 mA with a primary
nominal current.
To the single-phase protection circuit shown in Figure 5-2, matching CTs would be
added, as shown in Figure 5-3.
Main CT
Matching CT
7SS60
Figure 5-3
Differential protection of a busbar, with matching CTs
The 7SS601 measuring system includes a busbar protection function B and a

supervision function S, which monitors the connection circuit of the protection. The
supervision is set to pick up at much lower currents than the protection function, which
is designed for short-circuit currents, so that it can respond to such a low current in the
summation path even at normal load currents.
The supervision function detects faults and interruptions in the current transformer
circuits.
If now, in this error condition, a short-circuit occurs outside the protected area, e.g. in
the feeder, the current would not be recognized by the measuring system and
therefore appear as differential current. If no countermeasures were taken, the
protection would initiate a TRIP command. As a result, a busbar would be spuriously
tripped in the critical period following the tripping of the faulted line, when the healthy
station components are of particular importance to maintain the supply of the power
system.
This is prevented by the supervision function, which detects a fault current flowing
even at load current conditions. After a specified time delay, which is necessary for
the system to settle down after a tripped short-circuit, an alarm is raised if the current
persists, and the tripping can be blocked according to the setting. In this way, the
supervision prevents the tripping of the busbar, even if due to an error in the
connection circuit all criteria for the output of a TRIP command would be fulfilled.
In addition, the alarm output by the supervision informs the user of the circuit error.

Restraint
The restraint (stabilization) has the function of reducing the influence on the
measurement of transformation inaccuracies (e.g. for transformer saturation) in the
various feeders to such a degree that spurious behaviour of the protection system is
prevented.
The vectorial sum Id of all feeder currents acts as tripping quantity.
Id = | I1 + I2 + ... + In |
The value sum of the all feeders is counterbalanced by the restraint quantity IR.

Figure 5-4
Differential current measuring circuit with restraint in the 7SS60 busbar protection
system
For an explanation of the circuit shown in Figure 5-4, let us consider first the conditions
at a given point in time. The n feeders of the busbars carry the currents J1, J2 ... Jn.
These are defined as positive as they flow towards the busbar. The secondary
currents I1, I2 ... In from the current transformers, which are proportional to the primary
currents if we assume (for the moment) an ideal transmission behaviour, flow
individually through the primary windings of the measuring transducers MS and
summated through the primary winding of the measuring transducer MD. On the
secondary side, each transducer MS of the restraint module feeds a measuring
rectifier GS. Regardless of the direction of the individual currents in the measuring
transducers, the current direction at the output of the measuring rectifiers is fixed and
the same at the considered and any other point in time.
The input Id thus detects the vectorial sum of the currents, and the input IR the
summated magnitudes of the currents.
Check zone
The safety of operation of the busbar protection system 7SS60 can be further increased by an additional so-called check zone.
This requires an additional measuring system which - regardless of the position of the
isolator - monitors the current sums of all busbar feeders. Possible tripping failures
originating from faulty information sent to the real state of the isolator are thus excluded.
When a busbar fault occurs, a TRIP-command decision is only given if both the measuring system belonging to the faulty busbar section and the check zone measuring
system gives the decision for tripping (2 out of 2 decision).
7SS60 Manual
E50417-G1176-C132-A2

Functions
An even higher degree of safety can be achieved by using separate transformer cores
for the check zone.
To avoid over-restraint, address N IDF in the check zone measuring system has to be a lower level (see Subsection 5.4.2).

5.2
Formation of measuring currents from the transformer currents

The output currents used by the busbar protection for the current comparison are the
secondary currents supplied by the feeder transformers. They are, however, not fed
directly into the measuring circuit but first transformed by means of matching CTs. In
the following the reasons are explained:
For the measuring circuit it is necessary to "reproduce" the corresponding switch
position of the power system. Therefore the rated currents must be changed over.
The secondary currents of the transformers (rated current 1 A or 5 A) are not suited
for this purpose because the changeover contacts therefore needed to be designed
for currents (appearing when a fault occurs) that are much more higher. If the
currents are transformed, the changeover contact is less strained. This means that
the contact need not be designed for very high currents.
Usually the current transformers in the outputs do not have the same transformation
ratio. However, the measuring circuit requires a consistent transformation of the
currents. For the protection differences resulting from the transformation must be
balanced by matching CTs.
The currents of the 3 phases can be summated to a single-phase alternating current
by means of a matching CT. In this way, only one measuring system is necessary
to protect the 3 phases of the power system. As a consequence, the protection each
time picks up differently in its sensitivity, depending on which phase is affected by
the fault. In most cases this level of protection is sufficient.
The 7SS60 busbar protection is designed for a rated input current of 100 mA. With the
current transformer carrying rated current at the primary side, the current for this
feeder that is fed into the protection for comparison will be 100 mA. This applies if 3
phase currents are summated to a single-phase alternating current for a common
measuring circuit and if each phase has its own measuring circuit. The latter is
preferentially used for protection equipment for busbars in systems of very high rated
insulation voltages (380 or 220 kV). However, the consistency of the pickup values for
all types of faults costs much more effort. Another reason for using this method
preferentially is that the safety is twice or three times higher for tripping in case of twophase or three-phase faults.
Depending on whether differential protection is applied on all 3 phases or only as a
single phase, one has to distinguish between 2 types of input circuits. Each method
requires different matching transformers.
There are 2 basic models:
phase-selective protection (3 measuring systems in each busbar section)
protection with summation current transformers (one measuring system in each
busbar section)
If summation current transformers are used, a smaller number of modules is sufficient
to form a protection system. On the other hand, the asymmetric analog summation of
the currents entails different sensitivity of the protection system for different fault types.
You can influence the sensitivity by performing the connection mode which is optimally
matched to the system conditions. Refer also to the following explanations concerning
the normal and increased earth fault sensitivity.
In the version with summation current transformers, increased restraint may be
produced by load currents in the phases not involved in the fault current path. But this
is of less importance since the fault currents exceed normally clearly the tripping
characteristic.

Functions
The following sections deal with circuit examples for the version with summation
current transformers.
The input current transformer (summation current transformer) has several primary
windings and one secondary winding. The primary windings have different numbers
of turns, which allows to connect the three phase currents with a ratio of e.g. 2 : 1 : 3.
Depending on the station operating conditions and the requirements that the
protection must meet, there are two different circuits for connecting the summation
current transformer to the main transformers.
Differential Current

Figure 5-6 shows that the windings with the ratio of turns 2 ("ratio-2 winding") and 1
("ratio-1 winding") are each connected to one of the three phase currents, and the third
winding (the "ratio-3 winding") is connected to the neutral conductor.
This is the most frequently used circuit. It is used in power systems where system
faults involving earth currents are likely to induce relatively small fault currents. One
of their characteristics is that the fault detection thresholds for 2-phase short-circuits
have a ratio of 1 : 2. With any other winding ratio than 1 : 2 between the windings in
the phases, the fault detection thresholds would differ by more than the ratio 1 : 2. This
ratio is thus an optimum. In comparison with the fault-free, symmetrical 3-phase
current, the ratio is 2 / 3 = 1.15.
A second characteristic of this connection circuit is its increased sensitivity to earth
faults, which is due to the connection of the "ratio-3 winding" to the earth current path.
The ratio of turns 2 : 1 : 3 (sequence of the currents L1, L3, N) yields, in the connection
circuit shown in Figure 5-6, the effective number of turns and fault detection thresholds
listed in the following table.

The values stated for 1-phase earth faults apply in the first place for power systems
that have starpoints with solid or low-resistant earthing. They apply also to double
earth faults in isolated-neutral systems and systems with earth fault neutralizing if the
considered busbar is fed from one side only and the second fault is located outside
the protected zone, between the power source and the busbar equipped with a
differential protection.
If the starpoints of the transformers that are fed by the protected busbar have a solid
or low-resistant earthing but all supply transformers have an isolated starpoint, an
earth fault in phase L2 within the protected zone, with the connection circuit shown in
Figure 5-6, would lead to a lower fault characteristic than shown.

Functions
For a better understanding of this, Figure 5-8 shows the distribution of the currents
between the three phase conductors and the earth conductor on the line from the
supply transformer to the earth-faulted busbar and on the line between the busbar and
an earthed transformer. The currents are shown as arrows.
Figure 5-9 shows the electric loading of the summation current transformer.
Depending on the phase that is involved in the earth fault, the electric loading will vary
on the supply side. On the busbar side towards the earthed transformer, the current
distribution is independent of the affected phase.

restraint factor should be selected to ensure reliable tripping of the protection in case
of internal faults.

In a connection circuit as shown in Figure 5-10, the sensitivity to the earth current is
less pronounced than in the circuit shown in Figure 5-6. It should be considered for
power systems with low-resistant or solid earthing of the starpoints where due to the
transformer design sufficiently high short-circuit currents can be expected in case of
1-phase earth faults.

For current summation, matching transformers of the types 4AM5120-3DA00-0AN2

for connection to transformers with a rated secondary current of 1 A (Figure 5-12) and
4AM5120-4DA00-0AN2 for connection to transformers with a rated secondary current
of 5 A (Figure 5-13) are used. These summation current matching transformers have
one secondary winding with a rated current of 100 mA, but seven input windings for
connection to the main current transformers. The numbers of turns in these windings
are such that they allow to compensate by appropriate connection circuits any
transformation ratio differences in the main transformers. In this way, for even
transformation ratios additional auxiliary CTs can be dispensed with, which makes the
input connection for the protection less complex. However, for odd transformation
ratios of the main transformers matching CTs must additionally be used to prevent
from false matching. To ensure the required degree of protection, the summation
current matching transformers are usually accommodated in cubicles (Figure 9-3).
They can also be installed in the proximity of the main current transformers.

Power system and switchgear data Block 01

Note:
5.3.1
The 7SS601 measuring system requires some basic data of the power system and the
switchgear so that it can match its functions to these data and to its application.
These data are found in block 32:(5 6<67'$7 and in the switchgear data.
Rated frequency
The parameter )5(4 () is used to set the rated system frequency.
Minimum TRIP
command duration
The parameter for the minimum TRIP command duration 7753 () ensures
that all connected circuit breakers are reliably tripped as required.
The minimum TRIP command duration can also prevent damage to the TRIP command contacts of the protection system, which could occur if these contacts were
opened before the auxiliary contacts of the circuit breaker(s) have interrupted the flow
of current through the trip coil. With the parameter 775,3 () the minimum
duration of the TRIP command can be extended long enough to ensure that the flow
of current through the trip coil of the circuit breaker is reliably interrupted.
Lockout function
The parameter /2XW () causes the TRIP command to be memorized until
it is manually reset. A TRIP command that is memorized by the lockout function is not
even reset by an auxiliary power outage; it drops off, however, for as long as the
auxiliary voltage failure persists, as it has no supply voltage.

Busbar protection
5.4.1
The busbar protection function generates the TRIP command that is then multiplied
by means of peripheral modules to enable the output to all tripping circuit breakers. It
makes the r.m.s. values of the differential current Id and of the restraint current IR
available for display, stores events in the form of operational annunciations, fault
annunciations or spontaneous annunciations and outputs these via LED indicators or
signal relays. Measured values and annunciations are furthermore made available at
the RS485 interface for operation by PC using the DIGSI communication software.
The 7SS601 measuring system processes the externally formed sums of the
differential current Id and of the restraint current IR. By means of these two measured
values, the protection function recognizes the presence of a fault in its associated
protection zone. Figure 5-17 shows the trip characteristic of the protection. The
characteristic is divided into a horizontal portion and a portion with a steadily rising
slope. Only value pairs of a differential and a restraint current that are both above the
characteristic constitute busbar faults that lead to a TRIP command. The level of the
horizontal portion of the characteristic is determined by the parameter ,G! ().
The slope of the rising portion can be varied by the setting of the parameter . IDF
(). The parameter ,' WKU () constitutes the selectable threshold for the
differential current supervision.
The algorithm of the 7SS601 measuring system is optimized for the fastest possible
tripping in case of a busbar short-circuit. The stability of the protection against external
faults is ensured if the transformer saturation occurs not before 3 ms.

Busbar protection
The parameter %3VWDW () is used to activate (21) or deactivate (2))) the
busbar protection function. It can also be set to block the command and signal relays
while the protection function is active (%/2753).
Pick-up value for

differential current
For fault detection and tripping the protection only uses the normalized currents Id and
IR which exceed the threshold set in ,G! (). The fault detection is reset when
the value drops below the threshold again.
The threshold ,G! () has an influence on the sensitivity of the protection for
small fault currents. Where low supply conditions or the type of the starpoint earthing
create only earth fault currents in the load range, ,G! () would have to be set
below the nominal value to respond to them. It must be borne in mind, though, that
with a high load the failure of one current transformer might then cause a trip of the
busbar. In this case additional criteria must ensure the stability (e.g. additional release
via the displacement voltage by means of a feeder protection device).
Delay of the TRIP

command
A time delay is implemented between the protection algorithm initiating the tripping
and the output of the actual TRIP command. This time step causes the delayed
initialization of the TRIP command (if a tripping time other than zero is specified). The
TRIP command is only executed if during the entire time step the tripping is issued by
the protection algorithm. The time step will be reset prematurely if the protection
algorithm assumes the tripping conditions to be no longer fulfilled. The delay time of
the TRIP command can be specified as the parameter 10 TrpDly (1511). Due to the
system configuration the timer accuracy is 10 ms.
Restraint factor
The restraint factor . IDF () allows to adapt the stability of the protection to
service conditions.
Although a high setting for this factor improves the stability with regard to faults outside
the protected zone, it reduces the sensitivity for the detection of busbar faults.
. IDF () should therefore be chosen as low as possible and as high as
necessary.
If the measuring system is to be used for zone-selective protection, which will be the
case in most applications, it is advisable to use the default setting of
. IDF ().
Where a measuring system is used for protection of the so-called check zone, a lower
value for . IDF is recommended to avoid that the load currents of the nonfaulted busbar sections cause an over-restraint. The recommended settings for .
IDF () can be summarized as follows:

Fault recording Block 74
5.6.1
The 7SS601 protection system has a fault recording function that stores the
instantaneous values of the differential and the restraint current in a buffer. This
function is available in block .
The instantaneous values of the measured quantities are sampled every 0.5 ms (50,
60 and 16.7 Hz).
In the event of a fault, the data are stored during a settable period. The available buffer
has a recording capacity of 7.1 s.
Up to 8 fault events can be stored in this buffer. New fault events are always entered
in the fault record buffer. Older records are overwritten by the new data.
The data can be read out to a personal computer via the serial interface, and
processed using the DIGSI / SIGRA software. The measured values are prepared for
a graphical display. In addition, signals are represented as binary traces, e.g. "%XVEDU
SURWHFWLRQ 7ULS" and "/RFN 2XW VWDWH".
Part of the fault recording memory in the 7SS601 is buffered against voltage failures.
The buffered portion has a capacity of 5 s. It contains always the most recent fault
events.
A fault event starts with tripping by a protection function and ends with the reset of the
last tripping by a protection function. Fault records in the 7SS601 always cover this
span of time (plus the pre-fault and the post-fault time).
5.6.2

The actual storage time starts with the pre-fault time 735( () that precedes
the reference point and ends when the post-fault time 7326 () following the

Detailed knowledge of the functioning of the system is not required. A prerequisite for
control is, however, that the system settings have been made as described in Chapter

The following section describes in detail how this information is called up, and explains
the individual items of information.
6.1.1
Output of annunciations and measured values

Annunciations inform the user during operation of measured data, station data and of
the status of the device itself. After a fault in the power system, they also provide an
overview of important data concerning the fault and the device function, and are used
to verify functional procedures during testing and commissioning.
No password is required for reading out events.
Annunciations generated in the device can reach the user in different ways:
Indication by LEDs on the device front panel
Activation of binary outputs (output relays) through the device terminals
Display on a PC monitor through the serial link, using the DIGSI communication
software
Display on the LC display on the front panel
LEDs
The green LED labelled Service/Betrieb is continuously on during normal operation.

The red LED labelled Blocked/Strung shows that the processor system has detected an internal malfunction. If this LED lights during operation, the device is not operational. Chapter 8 tells you what to do in such a case.
The other LEDs on the front panel indicate the annunciations that have been marshalled to them, refer to Chapter 4.
Those LEDs indicating states will be lit for as long as the status applies.
If the LED indications are memorized (e.g. fault detection by protection system), the
memory can be reset with the N key. This key is also used for a functional check of
the LEDs. When it is pressed, all these LEDs must light up.
LEDs indicating a state are on for as long as the state lasts.
Output relays

Annunciations that have been marshalled to output relays (refer to chapter 4) are
transmitted by means of a signal voltage. They are then available for a station control

Installation and Commissioning
This section is primarily for personnel who are experienced in installing, testing, and
commissioning protective and control systems, and are familiar with applicable safety
rules, safety regulations, and the operation of the power system. Some modifications
of the hardware to the station data may be necessary. For primary tests, the switchgear must be isolated to perform switching operations.

Installation and connection
Warning!
Trouble free and safe use of this SIPROTEC device depends on proper transport,
storage, installation, and application of the device according to the warnings in this instruction manual.
Of particular importance are the general installation and safety regulations for work in
a high-voltage environment (for example, ANSI, IEC, EN, DIN, or other national and
international regulations.) These regulations must be observed. Failure to observe
these precautions can result in death, personal injury, or severe damage of property.
Prerequisites
7.1.1
The rated data of the device have been checked as described in section 3.2.1, and
their conformity with the station data has been verified. Please note also the prerequisites stated in section 9.4.
Measuring system
Panel flush
mounting or
cubicle mounting
q Slip away the covering caps at the top and bottom of the front panel, making accessible 4 elongated holes.
q Insert the unit into the panel cutout or cubicle mounting frame and fix with four
screws (a dimension drawing is shown in Figure 9-1.
q A solid low-resistant and low-inductive operating earth has to be connected to the
housings rear wall using at least one of the two M4 screws. Earth tapes according
to DIN 72333 Form A are suitable for this.
q Make electrical connections via the screw terminals of the housing. Special atten-
tion has to paid to the designations of the connection modules, the permissible conductor cross-sections and tightening torque (refer also to chapter 2). Use copper
conductors only!
q The shielding of the serial RS485 interface must be earthed.

Auxiliary voltage
Three different ranges of auxiliary voltage can be delivered (refer to chapter 9 and
A.4). If, for exceptional reasons, the rated voltage of the supply input is to be changed
to adapt it to the station conditions, it must be taken into account that the models for
rated auxiliary voltage 60/110/125 Vdc and 220/250 Vdc differ from each other by different plug jumpers. The assignment of the jumpers to the rated voltage levels, and
their location on the p.c.b., is shown in Figure A-5.
The model for 220/250 Vdc is suitable for 115 Vac, too. When the device is delivered,
all the jumpers are correctly located and matched to the specification given on the rating plate, so that normally none of them need to be altered.
Control voltage for

binary inputs
When the device is delivered from the factory, the binary inputs are set to operate with
a dc control voltage in the whole operating range between 17 V and 288 V. If the station control voltage has a higher rating ( 110 Vdc), it may be useful to set a higher
pick-up threshold of the binary inputs to increase the static signal-to-noise ratio. This
helps to avoid spurious pick-up by interference voltages that may be caused e.g. by
earth fault monitoring systems operating in parallel to the device.
7-2
7SS60 Manual
E50417-G1176-C132-A1
To increase the pick-up threshold of a binary input to approx. 74 V, one jumper position per input must be changed. Figure A-5 shows the assignment of the jumpers to
the binary inputs, and their location on the p.c.b.
q Slip away the covering caps at the top and bottom of the front panel, making accessible one screw each in the top and bottom center. Unscrew these two screws.
Warning!
Electrostatic discharges via the component connections, the p.c.b. tracks or the connecting pin must be avoided under all circumstances by previously touching an
earthed metal surface.
q Pull out the module by taking it at the front cover and place it on a surface which is
suited to electrostatically endangered components (EEC).
q Set the jumpers according to Figure A-5.

q Insert the module into the housing.
q Fix the module into the housing by tightening the two fixing screws.
q Re-insert the covers.
7.1.2
Peripheral modules
Panel flush
mounting or
cubicle mounting
q Slip away the covering caps at the top and bottom of the housing front, making accessible 4 elongated holes.
q Insert the unit into the panel cutout or cubicle mounting frame and fix with four
screws (a dimension drawing is shown in Figure 9-2).
q Unscrew the screws next to the fixing screws to remove the front cover.
q A solid low-resistant and low-inductive operating earth has to be connected to the
housings rear wall using at least one of the two M4 screws. Earth tapes according
to DIN 72333 Form A are suitable for this.
The peripheral modules are selected in accordance with the station configuration, refer to section 4.1. It may be necessary to adapt the auxiliary voltage of the modules or
the required contact (NC/NO contact) to the particular station conditions.
Warning!
7SS60 Manual
E50417-G1176-C132-A1
7-3
Auxiliary voltage
Both the 7TM70 restraint/command output module and the 7TS720 command output
module have three input voltage ranges for the auxiliary voltage: 48/60 Vdc, 110/
125 Vdc and 220/250 Vdc (refer to Chapter 9 and Appendix A.5). The voltage range
can be selected by changing the jumper settings on the module. The assignment of
the jumpers to the rated voltage levels, and their location on the p.c.b., is shown in figures A-6 and A-8. Before mounting the peripheral module, check whether the selected
auxiliary voltage matches the substation conditions.
Relay contacts
(NC/NO contacts)
On the 7TR71 preferential treatment/isolator replica module some of the relay contacts can be set either as NC or NO contacts. The relay contacts must be matched to
the configurations. The assignment of the jumpers to the respective functions is shown
in the block diagram A.3. The physical location of the jumpers on the p.c.b. is shown
in Figure A-7.
q Insert the peripheral modules into their slots and secure them with a screw from the
back of the housing. The slots are numbered and color-coded, refer to Figure 2-4.
q The peripheral modules are identified by a labelling strip on which the current configuration is stated. The configuration information should contain the designation of
the peripheral modules in accordance with their mounting position, and their voltage
ranges. Each peripheral module housing has a rating sticker that should be placed
on the top of the housing after installing the peripheral modules.
q Make electrical connections via the screw-type connection modules. Special attention has to paid to the designations of the connection modules, the permissible conductor cross-sections and tightening torques (refer also to chapter 2). Use copper
conductors only!
Note:
As the plug-on connectors and pins of the different peripheral modules are not coded,
the plug-on connectors must be marked to make their allocation to the appropriate pin
connectors on the peripheral modules possible. The marking system for this is shown
in Figure 2-2. The marking should contain the following information:
Number of the peripheral module housing
Slot identification (A, B, C, D) of the module
Top connector (X1) or bottom connector (X2)
Terminals on the connector (1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40)
q Replace the front cover on the housing.

q Re-insert the covers.

Commissioning
Warning!
Hazardous voltages are present in this electrical equipment during operation. Non
observance of the safety rules can result in severe personal injury or property damage.
Only qualified personnel shall work on and around this equipment after becoming thoroughly familiar with all warnings and safety notices of this manual as well as with the
applicable safety regulations.
Particular attention must be drawn to the following:
The earthing screw of the device must be connected solidly to the protective earth
conductor before any other electrical connection is made.
Hazardous voltages can be present on all circuits and components connected to the
supply voltage or to the measuring and test quantities.
Hazardous voltages can be present in the device even after disconnection of the
supply voltage (storage capacitors!).
After switching of the auxiliary voltage, 10 s should be allowed to elapse before
switching the auxiliary voltage on again, in order to ensure defined start-up conditions.
The limit values stated in chapter 9.1 must not be exceeded at all, not even during testing and commissioning.
When performing tests with secondary test equipment, attention must be paid that no
other measuring values are applied and that the trip command lines to the circuit
breakers are interrupted, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
DANGER!
The CT secondary terminals must be short-circuited on the CTs before the current supply conductors to the device are interrupted!
Where a testing switch is provided which short-circuits the CT secondary lines automatically, it is sufficient to set it to Test position, provided that the short-circuiters
have been checked previously.
The commissioning procedure requires to perform switching operations. The tests described assume that they can be performed safely. Therefore, they are not suited for
checks during operation.
Warning!
Primary test may only be carried out by qualified personnel, who are familiar with the
commissioning of protection systems, the operation of the plant and the safety rules
and regulations (switching, earthing, etc.).

7.2.1
Checking the connection circuit

The busbar protection is delivered in individual components. The configuration, wiring
and testing of the system has to be made specifically to match the station conditions.
Note:
The wiring of the relays on the individual peripheral modules depends on the polarity.
Therefore, the wiring must be checked against the block circuit diagrams in Appendix
A.3.
In particular, it is recommended to check by a continuity test the status of the connecting leads to the current transformers, to the input or summation current and matching
transformers (where required, if the modules are installed outside the cubicle or cubicles), and to the station battery, the circuit breakers, the isolator auxiliary contacts and
any connected signalling equipment. The applicable plans for the power system must
be observed.
7.2.1.1
Infeed circuits of the protection

Before switching on the station battery, the correctness of the rated voltages and of
the polarity must be checked.
Trip circuits
q Check the trip circuits for controlling the circuit breakers. Where service conditions
do not allow to trip a circuit breaker, you can proceed e.g. by switching off the
breaker control voltage and checking the trip function as far as the circuit breaker
coil.
Isolator status
feedback signals
Isolator replica
q Check that isolator states are correctly detected. To do so, perform an isolator
switching operation and check the feedback signal in OPEN position. If there is no
checkback signal (because of wire break or auxiliary power outage), the isolator is
assumed to be CLOSED, so that instabilities of the measuring system when a current flows are efficiently counteracted.
q Check the correct allocation of the feeder currents to the measuring system (isolator
replica) using load currents or secondary test equipment.
Current
transformer
circuits
In this context, it must be checked that the busbar protection is normalized, i.e. that
it provides a uniform transformation ratio in all output circuits. Where current transformers have different transformation ratios, the primary rated current is set to a value
between 70 and 100% of the rated maximum primary current of the existing current
transformers by means of suitable matching or summation current matching transformers.
For the check of the connection circuits, the currents that are fed by the CTs onto the
protection are short-circuited at the terminals of the protection. They are proportional
to the respective primary-side currents. The equivalent of the normalized primary rated on the secondary side of the matching or summation current transformers is a current of 100 mA. The correct current ratio must be checked by measurements in each
feeder or coupler bay with a primary current that should be at least 20 % of the normalized rated current.
7-6
7SS60 Manual
E50417-G1176-C132-A1
In models with a summation current transformer input, this measurement does not
check that the summation current transformer winding that lies in the residual current
path is correctly connected. With a symmetrical current and if all devices are correctly
connected, the residual current flowing in the neutral conductor is practically zero, so
that an interruption or polarity reversal in that circuit is not detected.
Feeders which do not carry a sufficient load current should instead be checked with
primary testing equipment.
DANGER!
Manipulations on the measuring current transformers must be performed with the utmost precaution! Short-circuit the current transformers before disconnecting any current supply leads to the device!
4AM5120-3DA00-0AN2
4AM5120-4DA00-0AN2
Figure 7-1
Short-circuiting the current transformers
To allow an electrical check of this circuit as well, an artificial asymmetry of the connections is created. This is achieved by short-circuiting in the tested bay successively
the secondary windings of either the main current transformers or of the matching
transformers in phases L2 and L3, and by disconnecting their outgoing leads, so that
the current L1 flows only through the primary winding of L1 and the winding N in the
zero current path of the summation current transformers.
In this circuit, the rated current on the primary side of the main current transformer corresponds to a current of approx. 300 mA on the secondary side of the summation current transformer. If the N-winding were connected with reversed polarity, the rated primary current would yield only approx. 60 mA instead of approx. 300 mA. The correct
connection of the input windings of the summation current transformers can also be
checked by verifying, either visually or with a continuity test, the external connection
circuit and then injecting a suitable current, e.g. 1 A or 5 A, directly into the series-connected winding of the L1 and the summation current path. This allows to perform the
test without a primary load.

7.2.2
Check of the complete protection system with operating currents
7.2.2.1
Directional check of the input currents

When checking the connection circuits, one prerequisite for a correct comparison of
the currents of all feeders was a uniform (normalized) transformation ratio between the
primary currents from the main current transformers and the secondary currents from
the summation current transformers or matching transformers, which were the basis
for the measurement.
Once this prerequisite is fulfilled, the currents must be fed into the protection circuit in
the same direction, so that in fault-free load operation of the station the differential current paths of the measuring systems do not carry any currents with wrong polarity
which might lead to overfunctioning. Therefore, it must be possible to reverse the polarity of the secondary currents from the summation current and input transformers to
match it to the downstream measurement setup.
The directional check of the feeder currents should be performed with operational load
currents from the station, with the tripping lines of the busbar protection interrupted or
the TRIP command blocked.
Reliable measurements are performed with 20 % of the normalized rated current in
each feeder. This can usually be achieved with load current if the power system is
switched accordingly.
Where this is not possible, it is recommended to feed into the busbar from any feeder
a testing current that is sufficiently high for a reliable measurement. In that case a
three-pole short-circuit is generated successively into each feeder outside the differential protection zone during the test.
The subsequent measuring procedure comprises the measuring system of one busbar only. If the system has several busbar sections with one measuring system allocated to each section, any of these will be selected for starting.
The differential and restraint currents can be output on the display for evaluation. In all
tests, the differential currents may differ from zero only by a few percent (approx. 3 to
5 %).

General
7SS601 measuring
system
The 7SS601 measuring system requires no special maintenance.

As the 7SS601 measuring system is almost completely self-monitored, hardware and
software faults are automatically annunciated. This ensures the high availability of the
system.
With detected hardware faults the system blocks itself; drop-off of the Device ready
NC relay signals the equipment fault. Faults that are detected in external connection
circuits lead only to the output of an annunciation or to a blocking, depending on the
parameter setting.
Recognized software errors cause the processor to reset and restart. If such a fault is
not eliminated by restarting, further restarts are initiated. If the fault is still present after
three restart attempts, the protective system will switch itself out of service and indication this condition by the red LED Blocked/Strung on the front panel; drop-off of the
Device ready NC relay signals the equipment fault.
The reactions to faults can be called up in chronological sequence as operational annunciations for fault diagnosis (refer to Section 6.1).
Peripheral
modules
8-2
The current transformer circuits are permanently monitored by the differential current
supervision, which can be set to high sensitivity. Faults in the current transformer circuit are detected under the condition that the feeder current is at least 10 % of the normalized rated current Ino (rated current of the transformer with the highest transformation ratio).
7SS60 Manual
E50417-G1176-C132-A2
8.2
Routine checks
Routine checks of characteristics or pick-up values are not necessary as they are part
of the continuously supervised firmware programs. The planned maintenance intervals for checking and maintenance of the plant can be used to perform operational
tests of the protection equipment. This maintenance serves mainly for checking the
interfaces of the unit, i.e. the coupling with the plant.
The following procedure is recommended. If the result of one or more of the above
steps suggests that there is a fault, please proceed as described in chapter 8.4.
8.2.1
q Check that the green LED Service/Betrieb on the front panel of the 7SS601 measuring system is on and that the red LED Blocked/Strung is off.
q Check whether the LED indications on the front panel show a plausible current status of the measuring system and the station.
q Press the N key. All LEDs (with the exception of the red LED Blocked/Strung)
light up.
q Read out the measured values (refer to Section 6.1). The differential current must
be low, and the restraint current must be equal to the summated amounts of the currents of all feeders that are connected to the measuring system.
q Read out the operational annunciations (refer to Section 6.1). Check that they do
not contain any entries on faults in the system, in the measured values, or any other
kind of implausible information.
8.2.2
Peripheral modules
Trip circuits
q Check the trip circuits for controlling the circuit breakers. Where service conditions
do not allow to trip a circuit breaker, you can proceed e.g. by switching off the
breaker control voltage and checking the trip function as far as the circuit breaker
coil.
Isolator status

q Check that isolator states are correctly detected. To do so, perform an isolator
switching operation and check the feedback signal in OPEN position. If there is no
checkback signal (because of wire break or auxiliary power outage), the isolator is
assumed to be CLOSED, so that instabilities of the measuring system when a current flows are efficiently counteracted.

Troubleshooting
8.3.1

If the device indicates a defect, the following procedure is recommended:
If none of the LEDs on the front panel of the device is on, then check:
q Has the module been properly pushed in and locked?

q Is the auxiliary voltage available with the correct polarity and of adequate magni-
tude, connected to the correct terminals (block circuit diagrams are given in Appendix A.2 and A.3)?
q Has the mini-fuse in the power supply section blown? If required, replace the minifuse according to the section Replacing the mini-fuse below.
If the red fault indicator LED is on and the green ready LED remains dark, re-initialization could be tried by switching the auxiliary voltage off and on again.
This, however, results in loss of parameter settings in a parameterizing process has
not yet been completed. Additionally, date and time must be set again (refer to chapter
4.2.5).
Replacing the minifuse
q Select a replacement fuse 5 x 20 mm (refer to Section A.4). Ensure that the rated
value, time lag (slow) and code letters are correct.
q Prepare the area of work: provide a conductive surface for the module.
q Slip away the covering caps at the top and bottom of the housing, making accessible one screw each in the top and bottom center. Unscrew these two screws.
Warning!
Hazardous voltages can be present in the device even after disconnection of the supply voltage (storage capacitors!).
q Pull out the module by taking it at the front panel and place it on the conductive surface.
..
Warning!
q Remove the blown fuse from the holder.

q Fit the new fuse into the holder.
q Insert the module in the housing.
q Fix the module in the housing by tightening the two fixing screws.
Switch the device on again. If a power supply failure is still signalled, a fault or shortcircuit is present in the internal power supply. The device should be returned to the
factory (refer to chapter 8.4).

Repair/Return
It is recommended to refrain strictly from repairing units or modules, because they
contain especially selected components, which must be handled according to the regulations for EED (electrostatic endangered devices). In the first place, special techniques are required for working with the printed circuit boards, so that the flow-soldered boards and sensitive components are not damaged.
Therefore, if a defect cannot be eliminated by the operations described in chapter 6,
it is recommended to send the complete device or individual peripheral modules back
to the manufacturer. Use the original transport packaging for return. If alternative
packaging is used, this must provide the degree of protection against mechanical
shock as laid down in IEC 255-21-1 Class 2 and IEC 255-21-2 Class 1.
Note:
Before returning the device, all configuration and setting parameters should be read
out and stored. If the location of jumpers on the p.c.b.s has been changed, the
changed setting should be noted as well.
When a device is returned to you after a successful repair, all jumpers on the p.c.b.
are in the initial state defined by the ordering code (MLFB). The configuration and setting parameters are also reset to the initial delivery state.
In case it is unavoidable to replace single modules, the EED-regulations have to be
followed (handling of electrostatic endangered devices).
Before you extract the peripheral modules from the housing, pull off the plug-on connectors and unscrew the securing screw on the rear.
Warning!
Hazardous voltages can be present in the device even after disconnection of the supply voltage (storage capacitors!).
Caution!
earthed metal surface. This applies equally for the replacement of removable components, such as EPROM or EEPROM chips. For transport and returning of individual
modules, electrostatic protective packing material must be used.
Modules fitted in the unit are not endangered.

Service conditions
The relay is designed for use in industrial environment, for installation in standard relay rooms and
compartments so that with proper installation electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC) is ensured. the following
should also be heeded:
All contactors and relays which operate in the same cubicle or on the same relay panel as the digital
protection equipment should, as a rule, be fitted with suitable spike quenching elements.
All external connection leads in substations from 100 kV upwards should be screened with a screen
capable of carrying power currents and earthed at both sides. No special measures are normally
necessary for substations of lower voltages.
It is not permissible to withdraw or insert individual modules under voltage. In the withdrawn condition.,
some components are electrostatically endangered; during handling the standards for electrostatically
endangered components must be observed. The modules are not endangered when plugged in.
Warning!
The device is not designed for used in residential environment as defined in EN 50081.
