Combined overcurrent & earth-fault relay type SPAJ 140 C

Design and principle
The combined overcurrent and earth-fault relay is a secondary relay to be connected to the current transformers of the protected object. The three-phase overcurrent unit and the earth-fault unit continuously measure the phase currents and the neutral current of the protected object. On detection of a fault the relay starts, trips the circuit breaker, initiates auto-reclosing, provides alarm, records fault data etc. in accordance with the application and the configured relay functions. When the phase current exceeds the set start current of the low-set stage I>, the overcurrent unit starts delivering a start signal after a preset ~60 ms start time. When the set operate time at definite time operation or the calculated operate time at inverse time operation elapses, the overcurrent unit operates. In the same way the high-set stage I>> of the overcurrent unit starts delivering a start signal after a preset ~40 ms start time, when the set start current is exceeded. When the set operate time elapses, the overcurrent unit operates. When the earth-fault current exceeds the set start current of the low-set stage Io>, the earth-fault unit starts delivering a start signal after a preset ~60 ms start time. When the set operate time at definite time operation or the calculated operate time at inverse time operation elapses, the earth-fault unit operates. In the same way the high-set stage Io>> of the earth-fault unit starts delivering a start signal after a preset ~40 ms start time, when the set start current is exceeded. When the set operate time elapses, the earth-fault unit operates. The low-set stage of the overcurrent unit and the low-set stage of the earth-fault unit may be given definite time or inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) chara- cteristic. When the IDMT characteristic is chosen, six time/current curves are available. Four of the curves comply with the BS 142 and IEC 255 and are named Normal inverse, Very inverse, Extremely inverse and Long-time inverse. The two additional inverse time curves called the RI-curve and the RXIDG-curve are also provided. By appropriate configuration of the output relay matrix, the start signals of the overcurrent and earth-fault units are obtained as contact functions. The start signals can be used for blocking co-operating protection relays, for signalling and initiating auto-reclosing. The relay includes one external binary input, which is controlled by an external control voltage. The func-tion of the control input is determined by selector switches in the protection relay module. The control input can be used for blocking the operation of one or more protection stages, for resetting a latched output relay in the manual reset mode or for enforcing a new set of relay setting parameters by remote control.

Features
Phase and neutral overcurrent protection relay for distribution feeders Three-phase, high-set and low-set phase over- current protection Sensitive non-directional high-set and low-set earth-fault protection Integrated circuit-breaker failure protection Four standardized inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) time-current curves as per IEC and BS Definite time operation Two special-type inverse-time characteristics called RI and RXIDG Numerical design for stable time-current curves, high accuracy and reliable operation Fault records, event records and diagnostic data can be read remotely via the serial port and locally High immunity to electrical interference and robust aluminum case to class IP54 Improved system reliability supported by a built-in self-supervision system with auto diagnosis Serial communication capability for extensive exchange of data between the protection relay and the substation control level Powerful optional PC tool for reading, setting and recording relay data and parameters

Application
The combined phase and neutral overcurrent relays of the SPAJ 140 series are used for the selective shortcircuit and time overcurrent protection of radial feeders in distribution networks. The relays are also used for feeder earth-fault protection in isolated neutral networks and networks with resistively earthed neutral. Both the overcurrent unit and the earth-fault unit feature two stages: a high-set stage and a low-set stage. Further, the SPAJ 140 series relays include an integrated circuit breaker failure protection function. The relays include a local man-machine interface for setting relay parameters and for interrogating measured and recorded parameters. The relays also include a serial port which connects to the fibre-optic SPA bus and substation control systems. Further, a personal computer with a suitable software can be connected to the serial port, facilitating reading, setting and recording of relay data. The combined overcurrent and earth-fault relays of the SPAJ 140 series are members of the SPACOM product family, which is compatible with PYRAMIDTM, the coordinated protection and control concept of ABB.
