2. Safety information
Dangerous voltages can occur on the connectors, even though the

auxiliary voltage has been disconnected.
Non-observance can result in death, personal injury or substantial

property damage.
Only a competent electrician is allowed to carry out the electrical

installation.
National and local electrical safety regulations must always be

followed.
The frame of the device has to be carefully grounded.
When the plug-in unit has been detached from the case, do not touch
the inside of the case. The relay case internals may contain high
voltage potential and touching these may cause personal injury.
The device contains components which are sensitive to electrostatic

discharge. Unnecessary touching of electronic components must
therefore be avoided.
Breaking the sealing tape on the upper handle of the device will result
in loss of guarantee and proper operation will no longer be insured.

4.1.6. HMI passwords
The HMI passwords are used to protect user-changeable values on technical level
from being changed by an unauthorized person. There are two different HMI
passwords; an HMI setting password for changing all user-changeable values and an
HMI communication password for changing communication settings only. The
password function remains inactive until the default password is replaced. The
default HMI password is 999. You can also change the HMI passwords via SPA
parameters V162 and V163, but you can only read the password via the HMI.
As soon as you have replaced the default HMI password, the new password is
required for altering parameter values. Once you have given the valid password, the
display remains in the setting mode until returned to the idle mode.
The following rules and exceptions apply, if the HMI passwords are in use:
* Navigating and reading parameter values do not require a password.
* All user-changeable values can be changed with the HMI setting password.
* User-changeable values under CONFIGURATION\COMMUNICATION can be
changed either with the HMI communication password or the HMI setting
password.
* Changing of the SPA password requires the HMI setting password.
* Changing of the HMI language does not require a password.
* Setting of time and date does not require a password.
* Performing trip lockout reset does not require a password.

4.2.1.2. How to monitor measured values
You can monitor all measured values via MEASUREMENTS in the HMI menu. In
addition, the measured current values on phases Ia, Ib and Ic and the measured value
of In can also be monitored by activating the monitoring state.
To access the measured values on phases Ia, Ib and Ic and the measured value of In,
I(unbal) and TH LEVEL via the HMI menu:
2. The cursor is at the first menu item, MEASUREMENTS. Press to see the
measured value on phase Ia.
3. Use and to monitor the measured values on phases Ia, Ib and Ic and the
measured value of In, I(unbal) and TH LEVEL. The phase currents are shown as
multiples of the rated current In. In is shown as a percentage of the rated current,
In, while I(unbal) is shown as a percentage of the highest phase current and TH
LEVEL is shown as a percentage of the thermal trip level. Press once more to
see the corresponding primary current value for L1, L2, L3 and I0 current value
for Ia, Ib, Ic and In. If the conversion factors are set to zero, dashes "- - -" are
displayed instead.

4.3. Protection relay targets
The operation of the relay can be monitored by means of three different HMI
targets:
* Three target LEDs with fixed functionality:
* Ready
* Pickup/Alarm
* Trip
* Eight programmable target LEDs
* Text message on the display
The protection functions are not affected by fault targets.
4.3.1. Target LEDs
When a protection element picks up or generates an alarm, the yellow target LED is
lit.
When a protection element trips, the yellow target LED remains lit and the red target
LED is lit.
When a picked up protection element is blocked, the yellow target LED starts to
flash. The yellow target LED is also lit to indicate an alarm from a protection
element.
4.3.1.1. Green target LED
A040264
Fig. 4.3.1.1.-1 Green target LED
Two different functions are embedded in the green target LED: power on and
internal relay fault (IRF).
* Target off:
The auxiliary voltage is not connected.
* Lit target:
The relay is in operation. However, a less severe fault (warning) may have
occurred. Refer to Section 4.3.2.3. Self-supervision.
* Flashing target:
An internal relay fault requiring repair by an authorized service supplier has
occurred. Refer to Section 4.3.2.3. Self-supervision.
39
4.3.1.2. Yellow target LED
A040266
Fig. 4.3.1.2.-1 Yellow target LED

* Target off:
No protection element has picked up and there are no thermal alarms.
* Lit target:
A protection element has picked up or generated an alarm. The pickup and alarm
target can be selected to be either latching or non-latching with the SGF
switches. A non-latching target is automatically cleared when the fault has
disappeared and the protection element has been reset, whereas a latching target
remains lit until manually cleared.
* Flashing target:
Pickup protection elements have been blocked by an external digital input signal.
The blocking target is non-latching, that is, it disappears with the digital input
signal.
The yellow target LED continues flashing for as long as a protection element
remains blocked. The blocking target disappears with the digital input signal or
when the protection element is no longer picked up.
If a protection element is blocked when other protection elements are picked up, the
target continues flashing. This is because a blocking target has a higher priority than
a pickup target.
4.3.1.3. Red target LED
A040265
Fig. 4.3.1.3.-1 Red target LED

* Target off:
No protection element has tripped.
* Lit target:
A protection element has tripped. The trip target is latching, that is, it remains lit
until manually cleared.
* Flashing target:
CB Fail element has tripped. The target is latching, that is, it remains flashing
until manually cleared.
40
4.3.1.4. Programmable target LEDs
In addition to the three fixed LEDs, the relay contains eight LEDs which you can
program to target the status of different type of relay signals. The programmable
LEDs can target the following information:
* Trip signals from protection elements
* Alarm signals from protection elements
* Circuit-breaker position
* Status of the auto-reclose function
* Trip lockout
* Light detected by the arc protection
* Status of the digital input signals
Route the signals to the LEDs via switchgroups SGL1...SGL8; to LED1 with the
switches of switchgroup SGL1, to LED2 with those of SGL2, and so forth.
For detailed information on the signals, refer to the Technical Reference Manual.
The LEDs are non-latching by default but you can also set them to operate as
latching via switchgroup SGF5.
For instructions on setting the switchgroups, refer to Section 4.2.2.2. How to change
settings.
4.3.2. Target messages
The messages give an overview of protection operations and internal relay faults.
4.3.2.1. Operation target messages
When a protection element picks up, the text PICKUP appears on the display along
with the name of the function. Additionally, in case of a latching pick up target, the
name of the energizing input(s) which caused the fault are displayed (except for the
thermal protection and phase discontinuity protection). The yellow target LED is lit.
PICKUP
50P-1 la
A070074

When a protection element trips, the text TRIP appears on the display along with
the name of the function. Additionally, the name of the energizing input(s) which
caused the fault are displayed (except for the thermal protection and phase
discontinuity protection). The red target is lit.
TRIP
50P-1 la/lb
A070075

In case of an alarm from the thermal overload protection, the text ALARM appears on
the display along with the function symbol and the yellow target LED is lit.
ALARM
49
A040274
Fig. 4.3.2.1.-3 Alarm target
If the auto-reclose function has generated the definite trip alarm signal, the text
DEF. TRIP ALARM will appear on the display to indicate that the CB has been left
in the open position and that no more auto-reclosures are being generated.
If a pickup or trip target for the element that initiated an ongoing auto-reclose shot is
cleared, the text Shot Due appears on the display to indicate that a shot is ongoing
and that the CB will be closed after expiration of the dead time.
In case the CB reclosing failed or it is disabled, this is indicated on the display with
the text RECLOSING FAILED.
If the auto-reclose function has generated the lockout signal, the text LOCKOUT will
appear on the display to indicate that the whole auto-reclose function is temporarily
disabled.
DEF. TRIP ALARM

Latching and non-latching targets
A latching operation target message remains on the display until manually cleared or
until replaced by a message of higher priority. However, if the fault is stable and has
not disappeared, the operation target message and the LED(s) are not cleared. An
operation target generated by a non-latching pickup is automatically cleared when
the element is reset.
Priority of operation target messages
The messages on the display have a certain priority order. If different types of targets
are activated simultaneously, the message with the highest priority appears on the
display.
The priority order of the messages:

1. CBFAIL/Trip from Arc protection
2. CB Reclosing Failed
3. Trip/Definite Trip Alarm
4. Pickup/Alarm/Shot Due/AR Lockout
When several protection elements generate pickups, the last pickup/alarm target
message is displayed. When several protection elements trip, the first trip target
message is displayed until the time, as specified by the NEW TRIP IND. setting
value, has expired. After this, a new trip target message can replace the old one. A
hidden trip target message can be brought forward by pressing .
4.3.2.2. Disturbance recorder target
When the display is in the idle mode, an asterisk “*” indicating that the disturbance
recorder has been triggered and is ready to be unloaded, is shown in the lower right-
hand corner of the display. Disturbance recorder status target can also be routed to
the programmable LEDs.
4.3.2.3. Self-supervision
There are two types of fault targets; internal relay fault (IRF) targets and warnings.
Internal relay faults prevent relay operation. Warnings are less severe faults and
continued relay operation with full or reduced functionality is allowed.
Internal relay fault (IRF)
At permanent internal relay faults, the relay is no longer protecting and has to be
sent for repair at an authorized service supplier. When the self-supervision system
detects a permanent internal relay fault, the green target LED starts to flash. The text
INTERNAL FAULT and a fault code appear on the display.
State the fault code when sending the relay for service.
43
As long as the green target LED (ready) is flashing, the fault target cannot be
cleared. In case an internal fault disappears, the green target LED stops flashing and
the relay is returned to the normal service state, but the fault target message remains
on the display until manually cleared.

Warning
In case of a less severe fault (warning), the relay continues to operate except for
those protection functions possibly affected by the fault. At this type of fault, the
green target LED remains lit as during normal operation, but the text WARNING
with a fault code or a text message indicating the fault type replaces the name of the
feeder on the display in the idle mode. Some of these faults can be corrected by a
relay operator at site. After the fault has disappeared or been corrected, the message
is automatically cleared.

4.4. Detachable plug-in unit
4.4.1. Identifying the product
You can find the order number on a label under the lower handle of the relay.
When checking the order number of the relay plug-in unit, be careful
not to lift the handle more than 25º (approx. 40 mm). Lifting the handle
any further detaches the plug-in unit from the case.

α = 25º
y = 40 mm
4.4.2. Detaching and installing the plug-in unit
Before detaching the plug-in unit from the case, the auxiliary voltage
must be disconnected.
To detach the plug-in unit:

1. Lift the lower handle until the spring-loaded locks on both sides of the handle are
released and the unit is pushed about 6 mm out of the case. This separates the
connectors.
2. Pull the unit out of the case.
The relay features an automatic short-circuit mechanism in the current transformer

(CT) connector. Therefore, detaching the plug-in unit will not open the secondary
circuit of the CT which otherwise could cause dangerously high voltages.
Signal connectors are left open when the plug-in unit is detached.
47
A040166
Fig. 4.4.2.-1 Detaching a plug-in unit from the case
Before fitting a relay plug-in unit into a relay case, check that the unit
and the case have the same order number.
The order number of the case is printed on the bottom plate inside the case.
However, if a substitute plug-in unit has to be used instead of the original unit,
ensure that at least the first 10 characters in the order numbers of the case and the
plug-in unit are identical, as in the following example:
Order number of the relay case REF610C55HCHP XX

Order number of the plug-in unit REF610C55HCNR XX
However, it is highly recommended that all characters in the order number of the
substitute plug-in unit, except for those indicating a spare part, should match the
ones of the case. Otherwise, it may result in loss of significant functionality in the
application.
The relay features a built-in mechanical coding system which allows that a plug-in
unit with voltage or current measuring inputs only can be plugged into a
corresponding case. This helps to prevent dangerous situations from arising in case a
non-suitable plug-in unit is fitted into a relay case.
Forcing a non-suitable plug-in unit into a case breaks the relay and may
cause dangerous situations.
When installing a plug-in unit into a case:

1. Check that the handle is down in its initial position.
2. Push the unit into the case until the locks click; see Fig. 4.4.2.-2.

4.4.3. Inserting and changing the battery
The battery may only be inserted and changed by trained service

personnel.
To insert or change the battery, first detach the plug-in unit; refer to Section 4.4.2.
Detaching and installing the plug-in unit.
The battery compartment is accessible from underneath the plug-in unit as shown in
Fig. 4.4.3.-1.
1. Gently remove the battery with, for example, a flat-ended screwdriver. Be careful
not to drop the battery inside the plug-in unit.
2. Insert a new battery under the battery holder and ensure that you install the
battery with the correct polarity to avoid damage to the equipment.
3. Dispose the removed battery according to local environmental regulations on the
disposal of lithium batteries.
The battery is not being charged during normal operation.
When the relay is taken out of service, the battery should be removed to avoid
discharge. Typical battery discharge time is 14 days.

5. Commissioning and maintenance
The relay should be subject to regular tests and maintenance in

accordance with national regulations and instructions.
Prior to commissioning, the functionality of the application-specific relay

configuration and settings have to be tested.
During relay commissioning, the operation of short-circuit and ground-fault

protection is to be tested by using secondary injection testing to secure personal
safety. Additionally, correct operation of input and output signals to and from the
relay should be verified.
The relay is a numerical protection relay with functionality implemented in the relay
software configuration. Software functionality does not change over time and the
relay performs extensive self-supervision during operation. Therefore, it is not
necessary to perform extensive relay testing during periodic maintenance.
When the protection relay is operating under the specified conditions (refer to the
Technical Reference Manual), the manufacturer recommends preventive
maintenance to be performed every five years. This periodically performed
preventive maintenance is to be carried out to secure correct and safe operation of
the relay. When performing preventive maintenance, the correct functionality of the
relay is to be verified as well as the wiring circuitry to and from the relay.
If the environmental conditions at the relay operating site differ from

those specified, for instance temperature and humidity, or if the
atmosphere around the relay contains chemically active gases or dust,
the relay ought to be visually inspected.
At the visual inspection, the following should be observed:

* Signs of mechanical damage on the relay, contacts and relay case.
* Rust spots or signs of corrosion on the terminals or case.
Do not open the secondary circuit of a current transformer during any

phase of the testing when the primary circuit is live. The high voltage
generated by an open CT secondary circuit may be lethal and damage
instruments and insulation.
5.1. Commissioning instructions
Relay commissioning is carried out to confirm correct operation of the relay when it
is taken into use.
51
Polarity checking of phase current transformers (CTs) should be

performed to confirm that the wiring circuitry between the CTs and the
relay is correct, which is a prerequisite for the protection functions in
the relay to operate correctly. The circuit breaker tripping circuit,
interlocking and signaling wiring should also be tested.
When commissioning the relay, secondary injection testing is performed to secure

personal safety in case of short circuits or ground faults in the system. If wanted,
secondary injection testing can also be used for more elaborate testing of the relay’s
functionality.
Relay commissioning contains:

1. Verifying that the correct application-specific settings have been entered into the
relay. This is done by reading the relay settings either via the HMI or serial
communication and comparing these to the calculated application-specific
settings. If read via serial communication, the settings can be stored as a
commissioning setting record file.
2. Verifying the current measurements – refer to Section 5.3. Measurements
verification
3. Testing of signal routing to output contacts – refer to Section 5.4. Function test
4. Testing of digital input signals availability – refer to Section 5.5. Digital input
test
5. Testing of the optional arc detection - refer to Section
6. Testing of short-circuit protection – refer to Section 5.7.1. Testing of the short-
circuit protection
7. Testing of ground-fault protection – refer to Section 5.7.2. Testing of the ground-
fault protection
5.2. Maintenance instructions
Relay preventive maintenance includes verification of the relay operation and

changing the possibly worn parts. The verification is carried out to ensure that the
relay hardware operates correctly, that is, as it did when first commissioned.
When performing periodic preventive maintenance, the whole circuit breaker

tripping circuit should also be tested, if possible. This can easily be done with the
plug-in unit removed from the relay case, as the terminals for output contacts in the
relay case are left open in such a situation.
When the plug-in unit is removed from the case, internals of the case
must not be touched. Relay case internals may have high voltage
potential and touching these may cause personal injury.
52
5.2.1. Relay verification
The relay maintenance verification contains:

1. Verifying measurements – can be performed according to the instructions in
Section 5.3. Measurements verification.
2. Verifying output contacts operation – can be performed according to the
instructions in Section 5.4. Function test.
The circuit breaker tripping circuit should be disconnected from the

relay during this verification, in order to avoid unwanted operation in
the system. Interlocking signals should also be disconnected from the
relay during the verification in order to avoid dangerous situations
from occurring in the system.
3. Verifying digital inputs operation – can be performed according to the

instructions in Section 5.5. Digital input test.
4. If there is a reason to believe that the optical fiber or the lens sensor for the arc
protection may have been damaged, for example due to heavy arcing inside the
switch gear cubicle, correct operation of the arc detection can be verified
according to the instructions in section Arc detection test.
5.2.2. Preventive parts replacement
When being used for real-time clock and recorded data functions, the battery should
be changed every five years. Refer to Section 4.4.3. Inserting and changing the
battery.
5.3. Measurements verification
As most of the protection functions in the protection relay are based on the phase
currents and ground-fault current measured by the relay, it is important to verify that
the relay is measuring proper values.
This measurements verification can be performed by examining the current readings

on the display while injecting a pure sinusoidal current into the current input. If the
reading on the display corresponds to the calculated value, taking the relay accuracy
and display resolution into account, the relay is measuring proper values.
Rated current for the energizing input that is being verified is shown on the relay
label under the lower handle of the relay.
When verifying phase currents measured by the relay, the value to be shown on the
display is calculated as follows:
 Injected current  (1)

Value on LCD ( CT ) =   × CT
 energizing input rated cu rrent 
53
When verifying the ground-fault current measured by the relay, the value to be
shown on the display is calculated as follows:
 Injected current  (3)

Value on LCD ( CT% ) =   × 100%
 energizing input rated c u rrent 
5.4. Function test
This section describes how the signal routing from protection functions to, and
operation of, the output contacts in the relay can be tested.
The internal signals are routed to the output contacts according to the SGR switch
groups.
The test mode is accessible via FUNCTION TEST/DI under CONFIGURATION in

the HMI menu. In the test mode, all internal signals from the different protection
elements can be activated one by one, the self-supervision included.
2. Use or to select CONFIGURATION in the main menu and press . The
cursor is at the first menu item, FUNCTION TEST/DI. Press again to enter
the test menu.
3. The cursor is at the first parameter, FUNC.TEST. Press to enter the test mode
and give the password if required.
4. Select the wanted signal with or and press to activate the signal. The
signal remains active for as long as you press .
5. Repeat the previous step to test other signals.
6. To exit the test mode, press .
7. Press again to return the display to the idle mode.
The table below shows the activation order and the corresponding flashing digit
when a signal is being tested.

It is also possible to test the output contacts via serial communication

by using the O parameters.
5.5. Digital input test
This section describes how the availability of signals connected to the digital inputs
can be tested.
To monitor the status of the digital inputs, navigate in the HMI menu as follows:
2. Use or to select CONFIGURATION in the main menu and press . The
cursor is at the first menu item, FUNCTION TEST/DI. Press again to enter
the test menu.
3. Use or to select DI STATUS and press to see the status of DI1.
4. Use and to monitor the state of the other four digital inputs.
It is also possible to read the state of the digital inputs via serial
communication.
5.6. Arc detection test
This section describes how the connections for the optional external arc detection
lens sensor and connection fiber can be tested.
It is recommended that a camera flash with at least guide number 36 and adjustable
shutter speed set to at least 1/60 second is used for this test. An alternative light
source for the test is a suitable flashlight.
55
1. Select the programmable LED to indicate detection of light from the arc
detection by setting switch 21 to 1 in the SGL for the chosen LED. It is also
possible to route the detected light signal to an output relay, that should be set to
be latched.
2. Configure the chosen programmable LED to be latched by setting the
corresponding switch in SGF5 to 1
3. Position the camera flash at a minimum of 3 meters distance from the lens sensor
and flash the light. Alternatively position the flashlight against the lens sensor
and light it.
4. The selected programmable LED should become lit if the arc detection is
operating properly. If an output relay is used, then the output contacts should be
activated.
Ensure that the switch in SGF3 for light signal output L> is set, and
that the light signal output L> is configured to be activated
immediately upon detection of light, with a switch in SGF4.
5.7. Testing protection functions
The short-circuit and ground-fault protection functions in the relay can be tested
with the setting values used during normal operation. If other settings are used
during testing, make sure that the original settings are re-entered after the test is
completed.
The test is performed as a secondary test, by injecting current to the current

energizing inputs. To enable secondary testing without accidentally blocking other
relays or tripping circuit breakers in the system, the relay has to be disconnected.
For the limited current carrying capacity of the wiring, terminals and
measuring transformers of the relay, refer to the Technical Reference
Manual.
5.7.1. Testing of the short-circuit protection
If proper 3-phase secondary testing equipment is not available for current

generation, the phase unbalance protection function has to be out of operation
during the test.
56
When calculating the current to be injected into the phase current energizing inputs,
the calculation should be done on the basis of the following:
* The rated current, 1 A or 5 A, of the relay energizing input to be tested
This gives the current to be injected during the test as follows:
* Injected current (A) = 2.5 x50P-1 x Rated current of the energizing input
To perform the test, inject the current in all three phase current energizing inputs.
The output contacts, to which the trip signal is routed from the short-circuit
protection function, should be activated on the expiration of the set operate time of
element 50P-1.
5.7.2. Testing of the ground-fault protection
When calculating the current to be injected into the ground-fault current energizing
input, the calculation should be done on the basis of the following:
* The rated current, 0.2 A, 1 A or 5 A, of the relay energizing input to be tested
This gives the current to be injected during the test as follows:

* Injected current (A) = 2.5 x 51N x Rated current of energizing input
To perform the test, inject the current in the ground-fault current energizing input.
The output contacts, to which the trip signal has been routed from the ground-fault
protection element, should be activated on the expiration of the set operate time of
element 51N.
57
58
6. Spare parts
6.1. Plug-in unit
The relay’s construction allows a spare part in form of a plug-in unit. The outage
time can therefore be reduced to a minimum in case the relay should fail.
In case of malfunction, please consult your relay supplier.
The spare plug-in unit to be used for a certain relay is suitable if at least the first 10
characters in the order number are identical with those in the order number of the
case.
To obtain identical functionality to those of the original product, all

characters in the order number, except for those indicating a spare part,
should match the ones in the order number of the case.
The relay features a built-in mechanical coding system which allows that a plug-in
unit with voltage or current measuring inputs only can be plugged into a
corresponding case. This helps to prevent dangerous situations from arising in case a
non-suitable plug-in unit is fitted into a relay case.
Forcing a non-suitable plug-in unit into a case breaks the relay and may
cause dangerous situations.
The plug-in unit is calibrated as a whole to achieve the best possible operation
accuracy and individual pieces of it should not be removed.
If the faulty plug-in unit is subject to guarantee and the fault is caused under
circumstances covered by the warranty conditions, it should be returned for repair.
Ordering of spare parts is done by using the same ordering system as for ordering a
new relay.
6.2. Battery
The battery for real-time clock and non-volatile memory can be purchased in stores
specialized in electronic components.
Recommended battery manufacturers and types are:

* Panasonic of type BR20321)
* Rayovac of type BR20321)
1)
Batteries of the recommended lithium BR-types cannot be recharged.
59
60
7. Repair
If the relay fails in operation or if the operating values differ remarkably from the
specified values, the relay is to be given a proper service.
All major measures involving overhaul of electronics are to be taken

by the manufacturer.
Contact the manufacturer or the nearest representative for further information on

checking, service and re-calibration of the relay.
When contacting ABB for ordering repair services, give a description

of the fault and state the fault code, if applicable.
