rent sensing and three-phase voltage sensing. The Form 6
control can compute power, energy, power factor, and power
flow direction from the current and voltage sensing.
The Form 6 control can be programmed and interrogated
from the front panel. The front panel also displays metering
and alarm information.
In addition to front panel programming, control param-
eters can be programmed via personal computer using the
ProView interface software. Temporary connection to the
control is made through the operator front panel RS-232 port.
The back panel RS-232, as well as the optional fiber-optic,
ethernet, and RS-485 ports are available for SCADA or inter-
connections to other devices. The interface program includes
functions used to create, modify, and graphically display
time-current curves (TCCs) and provide diagnostic informa-
tion. The Form 6 control analysis tools include fault locating,
event recording, data profiler, recloser replay, application
one-line diagram, and oscillography functions. Customization
tools include TCC Editor II, a time-current curve modification
program, and the Idea Workbench, a complete software cus-
tomization program that enables you to design your distribu-
tion system to your specific application. Verification of settings
and customized logic are easily obtained with the Virtual Test
Set feature.

control with the settings associated with the phase, ground,
and negative sequence overcurrent elements that are com-
mon to both TCC1 and TCC2.
Note: The Form 6 recloser control is a three-phase device; all three
phases trip on the settings programmed.

Minimum Trip
Minimum Trip is the threshold setting for overcurrent protec-
tion. Once the threshold is exceeded, the control begins tim-
ing on the programmable time-current curve.

Caution: Equipment damage. Verify the maximum

short time recloser limit for the recloser type prior to
changing minimum trip values. Refer to Reference Data
R280-91-34. Failure to do so can cause damage to the
recloser under load conditions. T310.0

Caution: Equipment misoperation. Check minimum

trip values prior to changing an alternate profile. Failure
to do so may cause misoperation of the recloser under
load conditions. T280.1

The Minimum Trip values and ranges are:

Phase and Negative Sequence (3I2)
Units: Primary Amps (3I2 for Negative Sequence)
Range: 20 to 3200 A (2000:1 CTRatio)
IMPORTANT: Always verify the minimum trip values are

Overcurrent Alarm and Alarm Time Delay
Overcurrent alarms are active when the user-programmed
alarm threshold and time delay settings have been reached.
Overcurrent alarms automatically reset (without any intentional
time delay) when the condition is below the setting point.
If the user wants an Overcurrent Alarm to be recorded in
the Event Recorder or perform any additional functions, the
alarm must be configured via the Hardware Workbench or the
Communications Workbench.
The alarm will only be recorded as an event-type if the user
configures it as a user-defined SOE event.
Note: Refer to Workbench Outputs Toolbox in the Idea

Precedence over Cold Load Pickup (CLPU)

If CLPU is enabled (not blocked) and Hot Line Tag is SET
then CLPU effectively becomes disabled (blocked).
For instance, if CLPU is enabled and the user initiates a
Close command, after the Close occurs, CLPU will be
active for thespecified activation time period.
If during this specified activation time period, Hot
Line Tag is SET, then CLPU will immediately be dis-
abled.
Later, if still during this specified activation time
period, Hot Line Tag is RESET, then CLPU will imme-
diately be enabled and active for the remainder of the
specified activation time period.
Phase Tripping
Note: The status (blocked or not blocked) of phase,
ground, and negative sequence tripping directly super- Hot Line Tag phase tripping will occur (after the user-
vises (disables or enables) Hot Line Tag phase, ground, defined delay) if the maximum phase current (maximum of
and negative sequence tripping. all three phases) is above phase minimum trip and phase
tripping is not blocked and Hot Line Tag is SET and the
recloser is closed.
Ground Tripping
Hot Line Tag ground tripping will occur (after the user-
defined delay) if the calculated 3I0 current is above ground
minimum trip and ground tripping is not blocked (normal
ground trip) and Hot Line Tag is SET and the recloser is
closed.
Negative Sequence Tripping
Hot Line Tag negative sequence tripping will occur (after
the user-defined delay) if the calculated 3I2 current is above
negative sequence minimum trip and negative sequence
tripping is not blocked and Hot Line Tag is SET and the
recloser is closed.

Precedence Over Fast Trip Block Functionality

Note: Typical user curve selections have TCC1 curves
tripping faster than TCC2 curves. When Hot Line Tag is SET it overrides the Fast Trip
Block functionality allowing phase, ground, and negative
sequence tripping to occur on the user-defined TCC1P,
TCC1G, and TCC1Q curves.
Directional Supervision
The activation of Hot Line Tag does not affect the phase,
ground, or negative sequence TCC1 overcurrent protection
elements, regardless of their directionality setting and the
directionality of a given fault. The TCC1 directional over-
current protection elements continue to operate the same
whether or not Hot Line Tag is active.
The activation of Hot Line Tag does enable dedicated non-
directional overcurrent elements which operate in parallel
with any active TCC1 overcurrent protection elements. If
the dedicated Hot Line Tag non-directional overcurrent
elements operate before the active TCC1 overcurrent pro-
tection elements, then the operation of the active TCC1
overcurrent protection elements will not be observed, even
though they were timing towards a trip. In this situation,
sole operation on a Hot Line Tag overcurrent element,
only a Control Lockout entry will be recorded in the SOE
record. For an operation on a TCC1 overcurrent protection
element, while Hot Line Tag is active, or a near simultane-
ous operation both the Hot Line Tag overcurrent element
and TCC1 overcurrent protection element, the SOE record
will show a Control Lockout, Overcurrent Trip, and Fault
Data entry.

High Current Lockout

High Current Lockout (HCL) defines which operations will
lockout the recloser (allow no reclosing) when the specified
current threshold is exceeded and a trip occurs.
The HCL setting dialog box defines the phase, ground, and
negative sequence pickup settings and the operations that
will act on a specific setting.
Note: If HCL operates, subsequent reclosing occurs in that
sequence.

Using the High Current Trip and High Current Lockout Features
In certain situations the high current trip and high current
lockout features can be used to reduce transformer through-
faults. These features can also be utilized together to provide
overall feeder coordination tailored to provide overcurrent
protection characteristics suited for individual sections of a
feeder.
The Example Feeder shown below can explain the benefits
of using the high current trip and high current lockout fea-
tures.

This feeder can be divided into three sections (zones), each of

which has different overcurrent protection requirements.

4-37
Form 6 Microprocessor-Based Recloser Control Programming Guide

The protection requirements for recloser RE1 are different for

each zone.
Zone 3: Conventional settings for recloser RE1 are required
here. One or more fast TCC curve operations to
clear temporary faults followed by delayed TCC
curve operations to allow downline recloser or
fuse clearing of permanent faults. Also, sequence
coordination is required on recloser RE1 for the
proper coordination with RE2.
Zone 2: Modified settings for recloser RE1 can be used
here. Since there are no time sensitive protec-
tive devices in this zone, faults that occur here
do not require RE1 to have any intentional time
delay in its operation. However, with the section-
alizer being used for permanent fault protection
for faults on the tap four operations of RE1 are
required. Thus, in this zone recloser RE1 could be
set for four high current trip operations, minimiz-
ing any coordination problem with the source side
protective fuse and reducing total through-fault
current time exposure on the substation trans-
former.
Zone 1: Again, modified settings for recloser RE1 can be
used here. For the high magnitude close in faults,
a four operation sequence subjects the substa-
tion transformer to an undesirable number of
high through-fault currents. Temporary faults are
normally less likely, since this part of the feeder
has fewer trees (thus less wildlife), with more fre-
quent inspections and maintenance. Thus reclos-
ing operations are not as critical, although one
reclosing operation could be selected in the event
that temporary fault protection was deemed nec-
essary. In this zone recloser RE1 could be set for
high current lockout after one or two high current
trip operations.

The actual settings for the high current trip and high current
lockout will be dependent on the maximum available fault cur-
rent at various locations along the feeder.
High Current Trip
The downline fuse (the fuse just upline of recloser RE2) is at
a location where the available fault current is 3800 amps,
the high current trip on the RE1 recloser control must be set
higher than this level. 4.75 (3800 A 800 A) is the minimum
setting for the high current trip, 5.0 is selected. For fault cur-
rents above 4000 amps (5.0 x 800 A) recloser RE1 will oper-
ate instantaneously with four operations to lockout. The fuse
should operate properly since it is outside the high current trip
zone.
High Current Lockout
The downline sectionalizer (S1) is at a location where the
available fault current is 4500 amps, the high current lockout
on the RE1 recloser control must be set higher than this level.
4800 amps is selected to allow a margin and keep faults of
4500 amps or lower from activating the high current lockout.
For fault currents above 4800 amps, recloser RE1 will oper-
ate instantaneously and lockout immediately after one or two
operations. The sectionalizer should operate properly since it
is outside the high current lockout zone.

The CLPU Multiplier defines a Time Multiplier to modify the

position of the original TCC in time-current space and the
ability to enable the multiplier. With the CLPU Time Multiplier
enabled, the trip time of a given TCC at the measured current
is shifted in time by the specific multiplier.
For example, if a curve has an operation time of 40 mil-
liseconds and a multiplier of 2, the modified operation time
would be 80 milliseconds.
40 ms x 2 = 80 ms
Similarly, if the same curve has an operation time of 5 sec-

The CLPU Adder settings define a Time Adder to modify the

trip time of a given TCC at a measured current is shifted in
time by the specified additional time. In contrast to the CLPU
time multiplier, the CLPU time adder adds a constant time to
the curve, regardless of the unmodified curve.
For example, if a curve has an operate time of 40 ms and a
1 second time adder, the modified operate time is 1.040 sec-
onds.
0.040 seconds + 1 second = 1.040 seconds
Similarly, if the same curve has a multiplier of 2 for an oper-
ate time of 5 seconds, the one second time adder would
produce a modified time of 6 seconds.
5 seconds (2.5 seconds x 2) + 1 second = 6 seconds.

CLPU Reset Coefficient

The Reset Coefficient settings define the rate at which the

control resets if a non-instantaneous reset is specified. The
reset coefficient is the equivalent of the mechanical reset of
induction disk controls. The reset time is determined by the
following equation:
Reset Time = (TM*RCC)/(M2-1) where TM equals the
TCC Time Multiplier setting from the TCC Modifiers,
RCC is the reset coefficient setting, and M is the ratio
of the applied current to the minimum trip setting of the
TCC type.
Note: When Disk Reset is used, the reclose interval must be long
enough to allow the disk to fully reset to avoid faster than
expected tripping times encountered on successive shots.

are involved.
Checking both "Enable 1P UV Trips" and "with 3P Inhibit" or
checking only "with 3P Inhibit" and properly utilizing the "1P
UV Trips Enable" Workbench output will allow tripping based
on the phase settings. Tripping will occur regardless if any
one phase or any combination of two phases are involved.
Tripping will not occur if all three phases are involved.
Note: Checking only "with 3P Inhibit" will have no effect on tripping
unless single-phase undervoltage trips is enabled.
Checking "Enable 3P UV Trips" will allow tripping based on
the three-phase settings. Tripping will only occur if all three

timer dictates the restoration schedule for the feeder in rela-
tion to other feeders on the system.

S280-70-21
FOR LIFE

Following an underfrequency loadshedding event, the Form6

control continues to monitor system frequency. As long as
the frequency remains above the Restoration Frequency
setting, the restoration logic runs the schedule timer. If the
measured frequency drops below the Restoration Frequency
setting, the schedule timer will pause, but not reset. The
accumulated schedule time to this point is retained and when
system frequency once again rises above the restoration fre-
quency, the schedule timer resumes its count from the point
it left off.
All feeders on the system pause their own schedule timers
when the restoration of load elsewhere on the system results
in a momentary frequency decline, until system frequency is
restored to greater than the Restoration Frequency setting.
However, if while the schedule timer is running, the system
frequency again drops to below the Stage 1 Underfrequency
Pickup setting for the Stage 1 Time Delay setting or the
Stage 2 Underfrequency Pickup setting for the Stage 2 Time
Delay setting, the corresponding underfrequency loadshed-
ding stage has again operated system-wide. In this case,
the schedule timer resets, so that the orderly restoration of
all open feeders can once again commence as the system
recovers.
When the schedule timer times out, the feeder is scheduled
to be restored. However, prior to actual restoration, the fre-
quency must also remain above the Restoration Frequency
setting continuously for the Transient Time setting. The
requirement for this final interval of continuous in-band fre-
quency is to ensure that the system has achieved relative sta-
bility before additional load is restored. This postpones resto-
ration as long as momentary instabilities prevent the transient
timer from timing out. Such momentary instabilities can be
due to other, closely scheduled restorations occurring else-
where on the system, or due to other unpredicted generation
or switching events causing a momentary drop in frequency.
If the Form 6 control is not able to successfully restore
the feeder within the Schedule Timer setting following an
Underfrequency Loadshed event, further restoration attempts
are abandoned at the conclusion of the Restoration Abort
Timer. This ensures that feeders are not automatically
restored during situations that prevent system recovery within
the Schedule Time setting.
Note: Even if the transient timer times out, restoration will be inhib-
ited if Overfrequency tripping is enabled and the frequency is
above the Stage 1 or Stage 2 Overfrequency Pickup settings.
If a fault trip occurs, the Form 6 control will not participate in
automated loadshed restoration, even though frequency con-
ditions and schedules may otherwise dictate restoration.

quency restoration scheduling functionality.

Sync Check
The Form 6 recloser control contains capabilities to sync
check based on source and line-side PTs. The PTs are
assumed to be accurate and phase and magnitude supply
the control with a true sinusoidal signal. Sync Check is a fre-
quency measuring anticipatory close feature, with accommo-
dation for static angles.
Review sync check parameters for the application.
The sync check system is a permissive system used to
qualify any close signal to the mechanism, when the system
is enabled via the sync check settings. The sync check has
the ability to close for any combination of dead/live bus/line
condition and to perform anticipatory closing for a live bus/
live line condition by calculating the slip and leading the close
based on the mechanism closing delay.
The system slip is measured by comparing the sync PT (Vs)
(line) to the selected phase of the three phase BUS PTs. The
slip is then converted to an angular velocity, measured in
degrees/second. The mechanism operating delay setting is
utilized to calculate the lead angle or the angle prior to top
dead center (TDC) at which the close will be permitted.

After making changes, always click OK before clicking CHANGE SETTING GROUP. Otherwise, the change will not be registered.

Form 6 Microprocessor-Based Recloser Control Programming Guide

In addition to the anticipatory close calculation, the sync

check system performs verification on the line and bus volt-
age magnitudes and frequencies to determine that they are
within pre-determined ranges, and that the angular difference
between the two systems is also within a predetermined
range.
For a Hot Line/Hot Bus close, where there is no slip between
the systems, the sync check system allows for permissive
closing after the two systems are within frequency and volt-
age limits, and the angular difference between the systems
has been within the allowable limits for a settable time.

Close Conditions
Close Conditions settings define the voltage conditions allow-
able on the source (bus) and load (line) side of the recloser for
a close to occur.
For example, by enabling DEAD LINE/HOT BUS CLOSING,
the recloser allows a close when the source side of the
mechanism is live and the load side is dead. If HOT LINE/
HOT BUS is enabled (and Sync Check) is enabled, the pro-
grammed synchronizing parameters are activated.

Sync Check Parameters

Incipient Cable Splice Fault

The incipient cable splice fault (ICSF) detector algorithm rec-
ognizes the unique waveform characteristics that occur in the
days preceding a pending cable splice failure due to water
ingress. By monitoring how often this waveform footprint
occurs over time, the user can obtain a highly reliable indica-
tor of impending cable splice faults.
Before a cable splice fails, water seeps into the splice causing
a line-to-ground fault. The result is a waveform that is best
described as a 1/4 cycle self-extinguishing fault.
The second characteristic of incipient cable splice faults is
that they occur with increasing frequency over time. The Form
6 control ICSF algorithm provides the ability to sense the total
number of occurrences as well as the number of occurrences
that occur during a programmable time period.
Note: Current limiting fuse operations can occasionally gener-
ate a waveform that will be counted by the ICSF detector.
However, these events are very limited in number compared
to the number of counts that will occur prior to an actual
cable splice failure.

Presets
Counter Presets are the operation counter and trip counter
settings preset on a per-phase basis. Counters include:
Ground and A, B, C Phase Targets
Sensitive Earth Fault (SEF) Target
Recloser Interrupting % Duty Cycle Used
Upon setting the counters or duty cycle information, clicking
on the Preset button will immediately download the values to
the control (provided the PC is connected to the control).
These items are not part of the setting file and are not updat-
ed when a setting file is sent to the control from the PC. This
allows the user to make setting changes independent of the
counters.

Clicking OK will only save changes

until ProView goes online with the
control. At that time, any changes will
be overridden by the active scheme.

Clicking on the Preset button immediately

presets all of the counters to the values.
Therefore, you must enter the intended
values in all of the fields before clicking on
the Preset button.
Since ProView executes the preset
operation by modifying the values directly
on the control hardware, the Preset button
is only active if you have a communications
connection established with the control.

Trip and Target Counters

Trip and Target Counters are preset to zero for a new recloser.
Note: If retrofitting an existing recloser, preset the control counters
to match the recloser counters.

Recloser Interrupting Duty Cycle

Each phase of the recloser incurs wear based on the current
interrupted and the number of times the interruption occurs.
The measurement of this wear is I1.5. The Counter Presets are
set to zero when used with a new recloser.
Note: If retrofitting an existing recloser, preset the control counters

Virtual Test Setup

The Virtual Test Set (VTS) enables the user to test Settings
and Idea Workbench programming. The VTS permits the user
to create a fault event and literally "play it" through the logic
contained within the Form 6 recloser control scheme file. The
VTS generates virtual data as it would normally be produced
by the control hardwares analog-to-digital converter circuitry.
During this playback, it is possible to view the behavior of
the control from the Application Diagram view, any of the
Oscillography views, or in the Idea Workbench.
The VTS also permits the testing of multi-shot reclosing by
allowing faults to remain permanent for a given number of
reclose operations. Conversely, the VTS can be set to clear
a fault without control intervention, to simulate a remote fault
clearing event. The VTS also contains a full set of frequency
tools to test load-shedding algorithms.
There are two ways to configure the Virtual Test Set.
Define actual current voltage and current magnitudes
during pre-fault, fault, and post fault conditions.
Define a system model and initiate a fault. With this
method, the VTS computes the appropriate voltage
and current signals to generate.
Note: Changing VTS settings is not permitted while viewing an
event record opened from a file.

The settings are divided into three voltage and currents sec-
tions: pre-fault, fault, and post-fault periods.
Note: There are no currents to define for the post-fault period as it
is assumed the breaker has cleared the fault. The time dura-
tion of the pre-fault period is defined in the Fault Dynamics
Settings dialog box.
The Fault Dynamics dialog box controls the timing of when

Oscillography
The Display Oscillography feature enables oscillography
events to be played back through the control scheme, even
with altered settings. This feature allows the user to determine
how the Form 6 recloser control would have behaved for the
same fault under different settings.
Save future fault incidences with past fault performance
analysis.
View accurate graphical events to compare actual con-
trol performance against expected results.
Users can view event records using pre-defined oscillographic
views or those from the Sequence of Events recorder. Both
actual event records and those created with the Virtual Test
Set (VTS) can be downloaded and viewed.
Note: A maximum of twelve 8-cycle events can be captured.

Generating Oscillographic Events

Oscillographic events are automatically generated under the
following conditions:
When any fault current is detected.
When the control sends a trip command to the recloser.
When the recloser goes to lockout.
When optional signals are driven high from the Idea
Workbench.
Manually Triggering an Oscillography Event
Events can also be manually triggered from ProView as fol-
lows:
1. Establish communication with the control. Refer to
Connecting to the Form 6 Control section in this
manual.
2. Select OSCILLOGRAPHIC EVENTS from the MANAGE
menu.
The Event Manager window will be displayed.
3. Click on TRIGGER to initiate a recording.
After the event is triggered on the control, transfer it to the PC
for viewing.
Note: You can also click on VIEW NEWEST EVENT ON DEVICE to
quickly transfer and view the event you just triggered.

Click on the Copy to Clipboard button to copy the Time/Length

Data Profiler
The Data Profiler is used for acquiring metering data for a
specific period of time. The Data Profiler is not automatic; it
must be manually configured. The Data Profiler is capable of
retaining metering data for each phase. The number of data
samples that can be retained is dependent upon the number
of metering forms used and the sample rate interval.
By selecting the fewest and most appropriate metering forms
at a high sample rate, a large amount of metering data can
be acquired to determine the cause of many line and power
quality issues.
1. Select Data Profiler dialog box from the Display menu.

2. Click the Configure button to display the Data Profiler

Configuration dialog box.
The metering options are listed on the left of the
screen. Use the scroll bar to view all of the options.
The Selected metering options listed on the right are

this field to be enabled.
3. Select metering options. Click the desired metering
option in the Available list (see Data Profiler Selectable
Options table), then click ADD >> or double-click the
metering option in the Available list.
Note: To remove a metering option from the selected list,
click on the metering option, then click << Remove.
4. Set the date the recordings are to start.
A Trend Time will be given in days and hours when the
Continuous feature is enabled. If 0 Hrs. is displayed,
the start/stop times are set before the current date.
Trend Time is the total amount of time the Data Profiler
can record. This time will vary and is dependent on
the sample rate and the number of metering options
selected.
Note: It is recommended to enable the Continuous feature
and check the Trend Time available.
A. Click the Continuous box if the recordings are

Important User Information

The Form 6 control offers the user the ability to apply it in a
variety of applications, to program its operation over a wide
range of parameters, and to customize its operating logic.
Those responsible for the application for the Form 6 con-
trol must satisfy themselves that the programmed operating
parameters and the installed software scheme have been
tested to verify that they meet all performance and safety
requirements, including any applicable regulations, codes,
and standards.
Since there are many variables and user-selected operat-
ing characteristics associated with any particular installation,
the user should take the necessary steps to assure that the
design, configuration, installation, and use of operating soft-
ware (schemes) are maintained in a secure and controlled
manner by properly trained personnel.

Contacts Inputs and Outputs

The Idea Workbench screen includes a representation of the
three terminal blocks on the rear panel of the Form 6 recloser
control. Clicking on any of the terminal block representations
opens up a view of that terminal block.
Contacts designated "ci" are contact inputs.
Contacts designated "co" are contact outputs.
Contact outputs can only be used once in the Idea
Workbench. This prevents any potential misoperation of the
control that would result if an output contact were driven by
custom logic in two or more User Workbenches.
The background color of the labels on the contact inputs and
outputs reflect their current status. Refer to the Color Key for
contacts status.
Note: One contact output is designated as SS1, which is a high-
speed solid state contact that operates in less than 2 ms.
This is pre-assigned to be used to lockout the control.
The user can change the name designation of the contact
inputs and outputs. A short name can be assigned to the
contacts for use in the Idea Workbench view and a longer
name can be assigned for use in displaying the name of the
contact on the Form 6 control front panel MMI. Refer to
Workbench Contact Inputs and Outputs section in this
manual for additional information.
ProView Idea Workbench capabilities allow the user to cus-
tom configure the outputs of the Form 6 control for commu-
nications preferences, local targeting, and other user-defined
local or remote control.
Contact outputs are provided as Form A (normally open),
Form B (normally closed), or Form C (both normally open /
normally closed) contacts. Refer to the color key for contact
output types.

Basic and Advanced Tools Characteristics

Once a tool is placed in the scheme, it will appear either as a
graphic image or as a box with text. The appearance of the
input and output terminals for the blocks vary between these
types.
For the logic gates, the input and output terminals can be locat-
ed by passing the mouse over the gate until the pointer changes
from an arrow to a square. Or, for example, a box like :! or :# will
appear.
The :! indicates an input terminal.
The :# indicates the output terminal.
For the latches and timers, small black squares on the block
indicate the terminals. The squares on the left are inputs, and
those on the right are outputs. The terminals can be located by
passing the mouse over the gate until a box like :! or :# appears.
Workbench Icon Description
Name: Sr is a Set Priority latch
NV Sr is a Non-Volatile Set Priority Latch
Function: The single output terminal goes to a Logical 1 whenever the upper-most input
terminal (terminal 0) goes to a Logical 1. This Logical 1 output state will be maintained
until the input terminal 1 is set high.Input terminal 0 (upper): Sets the latch output to 1.
Input terminal 1 (lower): Resets the latch output to 0.
If input terminals 0 and 1 are both at a Logical 1, the latch output is SET to a 1. This is
SET priority.
NV blocks have a limited number of write functions. Use them with discretion and not in
frequently executed logic.
Name: sR is a Reset Priority Latch
NV sR is a Non-Volatile Reset Priority Latch
Function: The function is the same as the Set Priority Latch except that when input ter-
minals 0 and 1 are both at a Logical 1, the latch output is RESET to a 0. This is RESET
priority.
NV blocks have a limited number of write functions. Use them with discretion and not in
frequently executed logic.
Name: Edge Detector
Function: Creates a Logical one pulse whenever its input transitions from a Logical 0 to a
Logical 1. The pulse disappears after 1/16 cycle.

Name: Magnitude Comparator

Function: Compares the value of the two inputs.
Input terminal 0 + (upper): One of the input quantities should be connected here.
Input terminal 1 - (lower): The other input quantity should be connected here.
Output: The output goes to a Logical 1 if Input terminal 0 + is greater than Input terminal
1 - (+>-). The output goes to a logical 0 if Input Terminal 0 + is less than or equal to
the Input Terminal 1 - (+-).
Name: Pickup Timer
Function: Timer starts timing when input transitions from a Logical 0 to a Logical 1. The
timer resets whenever the input drops back to a Logical 0 state.
Input terminal 0 (upper): When driven by a Logical 1, the timer starts running. When the
input changes to a Logical 0, the timer immediately resets to 0.
Input terminal 1 (lower): The value of the desired timer duration should be connected
here. Do this by dragging a "float setting" from the Advanced Tools Toolbox into the
User Workbench and connecting its output to this terminal. Output terminal 0: Goes to a
Logical 1 when the timer reaches its setting.

Form 6 Microprocessor-Based Recloser Control Programming Guide

Workbench Icon Description

Name: Dropout Timer
Function: Output goes to a Logical 1 as soon as Input 0 goes to a Logical 1. The timer
starts timing when Input terminal 0 transitions from a Logical 1 to a Logical 0. The output
drops to a Logical 0 only after the timer expires.
Input terminal 0 (upper): When driven by a Logical 1, the timer is armed. When the input
changes to a Logical 0, the timer begins to count down to 0.
Input terminal 1 (lower): The value of the desired timer duration should be connected
here. Do this by dragging a "float setting" from the Advanced Tools Toobox into the User
Workbench and connecting its output to this terminal.
Output terminal 0: Goes to a Logical 1 when Input 0 goes to a Logical 1. After Input 0 goes
to a Logical 0 the output stays at a Logical 1 until the timer reaches 0.

Name: Two Input Multiplexor (This function cant be used to drive timer durations.)
Function: Passes one of two inputs to its output depending upon the state of the third input.
Input terminal 0 (upper): First input signal.
Input terminal 1 (middle): Second input signal.
Input terminal 2 (lower): Selector input. If a Logical 0, the first input is passed to the output.
If a Logical 1, the second input is passed to the output.
Name: Equality Operator
Function: Determines if the two inputs are equal. Both inputs must be of the same data
type (integer to integer, float to float, etc). Otherwise, it will cause an error message when
ProView prepares to download the logic to the control.
Input terminal 0 (upper): Value of first input quantity.
Input terminal 1 (lower): Value of second input quantity.
Output terminal 0: Goes to a Logical 1 when the values of the two inputs are equal.
Otherwise, a Logical 0 is output.
Name: Global Input
Function: To input the value of a global system variable to the Idea Workbench. This is for
the advanced user who is developing specific schemes that require low-level operating signals.
Usage:
1. To use the Global input, first drag one into the scheme.
2. Use the mouse to point to the Global input block and right-click.
3. Select Block Configuration from the resulting pop-up menu.
The Block Configuration dialog box will appear. The text "Global Input" will be in the Name field.
4. Replace this text with information as directed from the factory. As an example:
"ExecSetup1": This is a binary output that changes to a Logical "1" at the exact
moment the control boot-up procedure has ended and the algorithms start running.
This signal indicates that the control has started functioning as a control following
start-up or a setting group change. An exclamation point in the value means that the
signal is not configured correctly. The output is case sensitive.

Function: All of these blocks provide the ability to introduce settings into the User
Workbenches. The name of each block describes the data type created for that setting.
Output (0): The value of the setting.
This produces a binary setting that can be set to a 0 or 1 only. This is used to drive logic
gates, etc.
This is a floating point setting. This is used to drive inputs such as timers, comparators, etc.
This is a complex, floating point setting. This is typically used to provide settings that are
involved in phasor math operations.
This is a 16-bit integer setting. The range goes from -32,768 to +32,768.
This is a 32-bit integer setting. It is used when an integer setting is required where the setting
range goes beyond +32,768.

Name: Feedback
Function: This block is used to feed the output of a block to a part of the scheme that is
evaluated before the block the signal is taken from. This effectively passes the value of the
evaluated variable from the previous computation iteration and uses it in the current itera-
tion. Feedback is data type specific.
The usage is as follows:

LOGIC

Name: Delay One Iteration

Function: This block is used to feed the output of a block to a part of the scheme that is evalu-
ated after the block the signal is taken from. This effectively passes the value of the evaluated
variable from the previous computation iteration and uses it in the current iteration.
The usage is as follows:

LOGIC s(n-1) LOGIC

Name: Non-Volatile Floating Point Latch

Function: This module latches the value of the floating point signal driving its upper termi-
nal, input(0), while the BYTE Logic signal connected to the lower terminal Input (1) remains
asserted. The module output always shows the last value presented to Input (0) from the most
recent time that the capture input Input (1) was in the asserted (i.e. Logical 1) state. This latch-
ing function is non-volatile, retaining the most recently latched value through power cycling of
the control.

Name: Non-Volatile Short Integer Latch

Function: This module latches the value of the short integer signal driving its upper termi-
nal, input(0), while the BYTE Logic signal connected to the lower terminal, input(1) remains
asserted. The module output always shows the last value presented to Input(0) from the most
recent time that the capture input, Input(1) was in the asserted (i.e. Logical 1) state. The rest
of the blocks' behavior is the same as for the non-volatile float latch.

Name: Array Lookup

Function: This module allows you to extract a single value from a one-dimensional array vari-
able. This is used primarily with the Global Input block where the Global signal being accessed
is an array.
Input (0): This is the top input port. Connect to this a short integer which indicates which indi-
vidual data point from the array is to be extracted. Note that the first value of the array is index
0, not 1. So an array with 10 values is accessed by using index numbers 9 through 0.
Input (1): This is the bottom input port and the port to which the array variable is connected.
This can be of any data type.

Torque Control
The operation of these output signals is intended to be
analogous to the like-named input contacts on electrome-
chanical relays. When the torque control signal is asserted,
operating torque is then passed to the rotating "disk" (TCC
timing begins). But when the signal is unasserted, the disk is
allowed to rotate back to its initial position, acting only under
the force of the spring (TCC reset occurs).
These signals act differently than simple supervision of the
trip output. In the typical application, this output signal could
be driven by directional elements. The TCC timing is not even
allowed to start unless the measured fault direction is correct.
Since directional determination can be subject to transient
effects, placing such a restriction on TCC timing increases
tripping security, helping to avoid misoperation until the direc-
tional measurement is no longer subject to transient error.

Manage Multiple Communications Workbenches and Setting Files

It is possible to maintain multiple Communications
Workbenches that can be loaded into ProView at any time.
This feature provides the ability to reuse Communication
Workbench constructions to build up a library of standard
constructions. Additionally, multiple setting files for all of the
settings in a given workbench can also be maintained.

Read, Write, and View Communications Workbench Settings

All settings created in the Communications Workbench are
kept separate from the Form 6 control settings. These set
tings can be saved to and loaded back from an ASCII text file
of the form WBC_Form6_Settings_*.txt.

message will be displayed, i.e. if Message 1 and Message
14 are both driven to a logical 1 at the exact same time only
Message 1 will display. But, if one message is triggered
after another, they will appear in the order they are triggered,
regardless of the message number, i.e. if Message 14 is trig-

display until Message 1 is triggered and then Message 1 will

Workbench Analog Outputs to MMI

The function of these signals is to route up to eight custom
analog values to the Form 6 control front panel MMI. These
analog values can be any quantity and accessed or created in
the Idea Workbench including metering data, counter, timers.
The eight variables in this section all appear as an exclama-
tion point (" ! ") until they are dragged off of the User Analog
Outputs to MMI toolbox and into a User Workbench. At that
time they are named in the form of "WB(Analog#0X)". The
#0X is replaced by the actual number of the analog value
when ProView is communicating with the Form 6 control.
Only floating point signals can be connected to these out-
puts.
The analog values are accessed from the front panel by fol-
lowing the Workbench>Workbench Analogs menu path. Refer
to Workbench Menu section in Front Panel Operation
section of this manual.
Note: While it is possible to change the name of the custom analog
measurements as they appear on the Form 6 recloser control

Workbench Mode Control Configuration

The Workbench Mode Control Configuration dialog box allows
the user to modify Form 6 recloser control modes of operation
from within the Idea Workbench. The user can choose from
the following configurations:
Momentary: A momentary contact acts as a toggle
input to the control. For momentary contacts, if a state
is set by the momentary contact input, it can be reset
by DNP, a front panel control button, or a settings
change. Conversely, if a state change is set by DNP, a
settings change, or front panel control, it can be reset
by an appropriately configured contact input.
Control functions that act simply to toggle the current
state are "without precedence", which indicates that if
a state was set by the contact input, it can be subse-
quently reset by the other sources of state modification
(DNP, pushbutton, or settings).
Latched with Precedence: For a latched contact input
with precedence, if the state of the contact input is
maintained, the state will be maintained, and cannot be
changed by the local front panel pushbutton. A setting
change or Communications control point assertion can-
not override a contact input with precedence. However,
if the positive state is not maintained at the contact
input, any of the other settings methods can act to
modify the state.
Latched without Precedence: For a latched contact
without precedence, the state is set when the contact
is asserted, and reset when the contact input is de-
asserted. The contact input can be asserted, and a
subsequent DNP, front panel pushbutton, or setting can
reset the state, while the contact input remains asserted.

The user must refer to this screen to determine if

the output is configured for Momentary, Latched
with Precedence, or Latched without Precedence.
The appearance of the output in the Workbench
does not display the mode control configuration.

For any of the mode controls to effect the state of a mode,

the following must be accomplished:
1. The control protection mode must be selected from the
Workbench Outputs Control Protection Modes toolbox
(high or low priority).
2. It must be placed within the Idea Workbench.
3. It must be driven by a signal.
If you do not place any mode control blocks within the Idea
Workbench, only downloading new settings from ProView,
completing front panel MMI operations, or controlling via com-
munications can modify the mode.
Note: The Hot Line Tag switch on the Form 6 control front panel,
when in the ON position, overrides any mode control operat-
ing within the Idea or Communications Workbenches.
Note: The high priority mode controls take priority over low priority
mode controls.
If a high-priority mode is being driven to the active state from
within the Idea Workbench, and the high priority control for
the subject mode is set to Latch w/ Precedence in the Mode
Control Configuration dialog box, the mode will remain in
the Enabled state regardless of transitions on the low priority
mode control or operation of the Ground Trip Block or Non-
reclosing front panel buttons.
Note: The mode can be modified by a communication master if
supervisory control is enabled.
If a Latch w/Precedence high priority control is driven to the
inactive state from within Idea Workbench, or is not used in
the Idea Workbench at all, the mode can be changed by any
of the following means and according to the following condi-
tions:
A remote master communicating through the com-
munications protocol installed in the Communications
Workbench can set the mode to either Enabled or
Disabled.
A rising edge at the input of a low priority control for the
mode placed within the Idea Workbench will toggle the
state of the mode.
A rising edge of the high priority mode control will tog-
gle the state of the mode, if that mode control is config-
ured for Momentary operation.
A rising edge of the high priority mode control will set
the mode to the enabled state, if that mode control is
configured for Latch w/o Precedence operation.
A falling edge of the high priority mode control will set
the mode to the disabled state, if that mode control is
configured for Latch w/o Precedence operation.
If the mode is one of Ground Trip Block or Non-
reclosing, operation of the associated front panel but-
tons will toggle the state of the mode.
If a user downloads ProView settings to the control,
the settings in the downloaded scheme will take effect
when the download is complete.

Form 6 Loop Scheme (LS) Control

The Form 6-LS Control improves distribution system continuity
through load-transfer and loop-sectionalizing schemes. The Form
Note: The formation contained in this section applies to 6 can change the protection scheme upon an LS action. Each
the Form 6-LS control only. protection profile can be configured differently, so programming an
LS scheme can be easily accomplished for sectionalizing or tie
applications. The Form 6-LS Control senses the loss of source-
and/or load-side voltage with customer supplied potential trans-
formers or internal voltage sensors. The control will perform its pro-
grammed LS functions after a programmable time delay when loss
of voltage occurs. The control can be in either the sectionalizing or
the tie mode of operation.
The sectionalizing mode senses voltage on the source-side
of a normally closed recloser and is activated upon loss of
source-side voltage. The ability to change the profile in this
application enhances the loop schemes capabilities.
The tie mode senses voltage on both sides of a normally
open recloser and is activated upon loss of voltage on
either side.

Load Transfer / Manual Return-to-Preferred Service

A simple load-transfer scheme using two electronic reclos-
ers with LS sectionalizing controls is diagrammed below. The
normally closed R1 senses the source side voltage. When S1
voltage is lost (for example, when a fault occurs at Fault 1),
the LS application begins timing.
R1 will open before R2 closes to restore service from the
alternate Source 2. To return to preferred source S1, the
controls can be operated manually or through SCADA. In the
event of fault at Fault 2, R1 sequences to lockout. Upon loss
of load side voltage, R2 closes and would normally sequence
to lockout. However, this can be reduced to one trip operation
to lockout by using a momentary non-reclose After LS Action
option to prevent reclosing if a fault operation occurs within
a preset time of closing. The momentary on time of the LS
action options is programmable from 1 to 1000 seconds.

Typical Loop Scheme, 3 Reclosers

Below is a diagram of a typical three recloser loop sectional-
izing scheme. Feeder Reclosers R1 and R2 are located at the
approximate midpoint of the load on two feeders. The ends
of the feeders are joined by a normally open recloser (TIE),
R3. Feeder Reclosers R1 and R2 are programmed to perform
the sectionalizing LS function. R3 is programmed with the LS
TIE functionality. As an example, R1 and R2 are set for a 560
A phase minimum trip and are after LS Action programmed
to change profiles, which provides the appropriate minimum
trip (280 A in this example), or, depending on system require-
ments, can be set to lockout.
Recloser R3 is set for a 400 A minimum trip. Upon loss of
source side voltage for 25 seconds (programmable value), the
profile of R1 is changed and the LS is now programmed for
one trip operation to lockout and its minimum trip setting is
reduced to 280 A. Recloser R3 closes 30 seconds (program-
mable value) after the loss of voltage. In the event of a fault
at Fault 1, R1 would operate one trip operation to lockout.
Again, under normal conditions (S1 energized), a fault at Fault
2 would cause R1 to sequence to lockout. After 30 seconds,
R3 would close in on the fault and lock out on its one opera-
tion. In all cases, the fault is isolated to the smallest section.

Loop-Sectionalizing Scheme with Five Reclosers

A loop-sectionalizing scheme involving five reclosers confines a
permanent fault to smaller portions of the distribution circuit while
maintaining service to the remaining unfaulted sections. In this
scheme, each distribution circuit is divided into three sections of
equal load with normally closed reclosers R1, R3 and R2, R4.
The two circuits are connected at the tie point with a normally
open recloser, R5. The Form 6-LS controls for Feeder Reclosers
R1 and R2 are programmed with LS sectionalizing capabilities,
which will lock out the reclosers upon loss of source voltage after
a programmable time delay. The Form 6-LS controls for Midpoint
Reclosers R3 and R4 are also programmed with sectionalizing
capabilities which, upon loss of source voltage and after a pro-
grammable time delay (longer than R1 and R2), change the profile
to provide a different minimum trip value and number of opera-
tions to lockout. The R5 recloser control is programmed as a
LS tie recloser, which will close the recloser upon loss of voltage
on either side after a programmed time delay longer than that of
Midpoint Reclosers R3 or R4.
As an example (see the diagram below), upon loss of S1 voltage,
reclosers R1, R3, and R5 sense the voltage loss and start timing.
Feeder Recloser R1 times out first and opens. Next, the active
profile of R3 is changed and its minimum trip value becomes
280 A to coordinate with the tie recloser. The non-reclose feature
is also momentarily enabled (an After LS Action option). Finally,
the tie recloser closes. The major portion of the loop, up to R1,
is now fed from S2. After restoration of S1, the return to normal
system operation is accomplished manually or through SCADA
commands.
If a permanent fault occurs a Fault 1, R1 operates to lockout
normally. R3 and R5 sense the loss of voltage and start timing.
Midpoint Recloser R3 times out and changes its active profile to
provide a new minimum trip of 280 A and its operating sequence
is momentarily modified by the LS Action, non-reclosing.

Next, Tie Recloser R5 times out, closes in the fault, and R3 will
lock out. The fault is isolated between R1 and R3. Service is
maintained to the remaining major portion of the loop. If a perma-
nent fault occurs at Fault 2, R3 operates to lockout normally, R5
senses the loss of voltage after its programmed time delay, R5
closes into the fault and operates to lockout. The fault is isolated
between R3 and R5. Service is maintained to the remaining major

Switch/Sectionalizer Mode
General Overview
With introduction of ProView 5.0, the Form 6 is capable of
being operated in switch mode, or sectionalizer mode. These
modes can be applied for both Form 6 and Form 6 Triple
Single. The definition of both modes is defined below:
Switch Mode
All overcurrent protection is disabled in the control, and the
recloser will behave as a switch only. When the Switch Mode
Workbench Structure is loaded into the scheme, Alternate
Profile #2 enables Switch Mode. The remaining profiles avail-
able for use are Normal, Alternate Profile #1, and Alternate
Profile #3 only.
Sectionalizer Mode
All overcurrent protection is disabled in the control, and
the recloser will behave as a sectionalizer only. When the
Sectionalizer Workbench Structure is loaded into the scheme,
Alternate Profile #3 enables Sectionalizer Mode. The remain-
ing profiles available for use are Normal, Alternate Profile #1,
and Alternate Profile #2 only.
Note: There is an existing Switch/Sectionalizer Mode Workbench
Structure available which allows the Form 6 to have the
Switch Mode and Sectionalizer Mode loaded onto the con-
trol. Alternate Profile #2 is for Switch Mode, and Alternate
Profile #3 is for Sectionalizer Mode only. The remaining pro-
files available for use are Normal, and Alternate Profile #1
only.

How To Install, and Configure Switch Mode, Sectionalizer Mode, or Switch/

Modifications for Communication Workbench

This section will show how to modify the Binary Inputs
according to the loaded workbench structure under Binary
Input Mapping within the Communications Workbench. This
will allow these intermediate signals to be mapped to respec-
tive DNP3 points to be polled by SCADA communications.
Before any DNP3 points can be mapped, the list of User
Intermediate Signals needs to be displayed. In order to do
this, first go to the Communications Workbench by peforming
the following steps:
1. Click the Communications Idea Workbench.
2. Click the Idea Workbench lighbulb graphic.

3. The Workbench User Intermediate Signals are located

in: Workbench Inputs | User Intermediate Signals. The
series of screenshots to the left are for Switch Mode
(non-Triple Single Form 6).
Note: Due to the limitations of loading the Workbench structure, the
communication Workbench User Intermediate Signals must
be mapped to Binary Inputs manually.
The next few sections will describe in detail what to do for
connecting the User Intermediate Signals for the Switch
Mode, Sectionalizer Mode, or Switch/Sectionalizer Mode for
non-Triple Single schemes.

3. On the User Intermediate Signal window on left hand

side, left-click and drag the "WB(#06)" into the "Binary
Inputs 0 19" window into any available white space.

The inputs and outputs of ProView blocks are represented as

small black dots on the right edge (inputs) or left edge (out-
puts) of the block.
Every output must be driven by an input.
Recall that to connect inputs to outputs, do the following:
A. Place the mouse pointer above an input dot until a
small text appears. This indicates you are ready to
make a connection.
B. Left-click and drag the connection (forming a virtual
wire) to the output terminal of the desired ProView
block.
Note: You will know you are properly on top of a ProView
output terminal when the text box appears.
C. Release the mouse button.
The connection will now be represented on the screen by a
virtual wire between the input and output blocks.

Accessing/Changing Settings for Switch, Sectionalizer, or Switch/

Sectionalizer (Non-Triple Single or Triple Single)
Depending on the specific Workbench structure loaded,
the switch mode settings, sectionalizer mode settings, or
switch/sectionalizer mode settings are accessible from the
main Menu click Settings| Switch (Sectionalizer, or Switch/
Sectionalizer).
In order to configure the settings for switch mode or sec-
tionalizer mode, the Edit Group will need to be changed to
Alternate 2 or Alternate 3 depending if the loaded Workbench
structure is meant for Switch Mode or Sectionalizer Mode for
non-Triple Single or Triple Single controls.
In the combined Switch/Sectionalizer mode implementation,
both modes are combined in one scheme file. However, the
number of available profiles left available is two (Normal and
Alternate 1), instead of 3 whether control is configured to
have either Switch Mode or Sectionalizer mode for non-Triple
Single or Triple Single.
