- input Io (measured)
type 2 : according to Io

- IDMT or definite time
- input Io (measured) or
sum of the 3 phases
possibility to mix these 2
characteristics
the tripping direction can
be set (line or busbar)
27
67N/67NC function
Series 40
Type 1 :
the protection function calculates
the projection of the residual
current Io on the characteristic line
which is fixed by the characteristic
angle o in relation to the residual
voltage and compares this value to
Iso set point.
the projection method is suitable
for resistive, isolated or
compensated neutral systems.
the function is inhibited if the
residual voltage is below Vso set
point.
28
67N/67NC function
Series 40
With compensated neutral systems :

the detection of recurrent faults
is possible by using a memory
controlled by a time delay or by
the residual voltage.
the parameter setting of the
sector is used to reduce the
protection tripping zone to ensure
its stability on fault-free feeders.
in case of Petersen coil with no
additional resistance, the
protection function uses the
transient current at the biginning
of the fault to ensure tripping
(lack of active zero sequence
current)
29
67N/67NC function
Series 40
Type 2 :
the protection function operates
like an earth fault protection
function with an added direction
criterion.
this characteristic allows a better
coordination with 50N/51N
protection functions.
this function is suitable for
closed ring distribution networks
or for incomings in parallel with
directly earthed neutral.

Series 40
Recloser is a function which recloses the circuit breaker after a tripping due to
a fugitive or semi-permanent single phase or phase-to-phase fault.
setting 1 to 4 cycles
possibility to choose the protection functions which activate the different
cycles.
time delays :
inhibition : starts when a voluntary close or trip command is given
(detection by the change of the CB position input states)
isolation : 1 per cycle. Waiting time before reclosing.
disengagement : starts when the CB is closed by the recloser
if a fault occurs during this time delay, the next reclosing
cycle is activated or a permanent trip order is given if it was
the last cycle.
If there is no fault during this time delay the recloser
reinitializes.

Different types of faults:

fast cycle (300ms) to allow the arc de-ionization.
Semi-permanent : time delayed tripping (0.5s) to avoid to trip
because of the transient currents due to the
re-energization of the load and to ensure a correct
discrimination regarding downstream protection
devices.

43
79 Recloser
Series 20
Series 40
A few traps to avoid :

circuit breaker control and position are compulsory
protections inactive with regard to the recloser (external tripping
inputs included) lead to final tripping
S40 : if logic inputs of MES114 are set with standard
assignment, I24 is the end of loading mechanism
contact (=1 for end of loading). If nothing is connected
to this input, recloser closing order is then inhibited
active protections must be set with no latching, if not:
final tripping (S40 and S41 batch 1)

46 negative sequence current / unbalance Series 20
Motor protection function against overheating due to an unbalance supply or to

a current loss or reversing.

In certain motor specifications, cold and hot

overload protection there is a risk of bad motor
protection when it s cold or a risk of tripping
during start when it s hot
By setting Eso the cold curve of Sepam

is adjusted under the motor cold curve

53
49 Thermal overload
Series 40
The cooling time constant T2 may be learnt according to the temperatures

measured in the equipment by temperature sensors connected to the first
MET148-2 module.
T2 is calculated every time that the equipment runs for a sufficient time
(E>70%) followed by a shutdown and temperature stabilization.
Motors and generators: RTDs 1, 2, 3 stator , 8 ambient temp.
Transformers: RTDs 1, 3, 5 primary windings , 8 ambient temp.
Once the calculation has been made, the calculated value may be used to
replace the T2 parameter automatically or manually.

48-51LR excessive starting time

locked rotor
Starting is detected when current goes over

10% of Ib.
Is is set lower than the value of starting
current and ST longer than normal starting
time.

starting time
Locked rotor
during start
If the current exceeds Is without going under

and over 10% of Ib this is a case of locked
rotor. LT must be set with a time delay shorter
than the locked rotor time given by the motor
manufacturer
To protect the motor in case of locked rotor

during starting its possible to use an
external zero speed switch relay. If the
motor speed is zero the CB trips with LTS
time delay which is shorter than ST.
56

locked rotor
Series 20
Motor re-acceleration
When the motor re-accelerates (after loss of mains, change over for
example) it consumes a current close to the starting current whithout
passing through a value less than 10% of Ib.
In that case the starting is not detected by sepam and there is a possibily
to trip on locked rotor time delay.
Its possible to reinitialize the excessive starting time protection by using
logic input I22
57
66 starts per hour
Series 20
This function picks up when the number
of starts reaches the following limits :
-Nt- maximum number of starts allowed per
period of time P (from 1 to 6 hours)
-Nh-maximum allowed number of
consecutive hot starts
-Nc-maximum allowed number of
consecutive cold starts
motor hot state : 50% heat rise (70% Ib)
T=time delay between stop and start(from 0 to 90mn)

(in documentation : time between starts)
Measurement:
- waiting time
-number of starts allowed
in case of re-acceleration its possible to

increment the number of starts by using
logic input I22 (as 48-51LR function)
58
66 starts per hour
Series 40
Use of circuit breaker closed data :
detection of starts for synchronous
motors
When a synchronous motor starts
without load, often the current
decreases lower than 10% of Ib
during a certain time. In that case
sepam counts a second start.
To avoid that problem it s possible to
take into account the closed position
of the circuit breaker.

Va
V0

In case of solid fault, the voltage Va becomes zero, there is a displacement of the
neutral point and the voltages of the sound phases Vb and Vc are equal to phaseto-phase voltages.
The residual voltage is the same everywhere in the network and is equal to 3 times
the phase-to-neutral voltage.
Disadvantage : equipment must be designed for these overvoltages.

In case of solid fault, at fault, the voltage Va becomes zero, there is a very
short voltage displacement, the sound phases dont change and the
residual voltage is equal to a phase-to-neutral voltage.
At source, there is a voltage Va (and then a drop in residual voltage) which
depends on the values of the link impedances between fault and source for
the faulted phase.

Positive sequence undervoltage 27D

Phase rotation direction check 47
Series 20
Series 40
Motor protection
27D : the positive sequence voltage is the exact image of the motor torque.
Consequences of a positive sequence voltage drop :
during energizing, increase in starting torque and maximum torque, then
increase in starting current (overheating, loss) and even rotor stalling.
In normal operation, increase in consumed current to maintain the power.
47 : detection of phase rotation direction (wrong connection)
protection of the load
usual settings : 75 to 80% of Un
71
Negative sequence overvoltage 47
Series 40
Negative sequence voltage is due to phase inversion, unbalanced power

supply or single or 2-phase fault.
Generally, this protection function is used to distinguish a single phase
fault or a 2-phase fault from a 3-phase fault in association with
overcurrent protections. (to reach a better discrimination)
72
Remanent undervoltage 27R
Series 20
Series 40
After a loss of power supply, motors sustain voltage on busbar.

The fast re-energizing can cause transient electrical and mechanical
phenomena.
This protection function is used to give closing authorization to power
supply changeover.
Usual setting : 20 to 25% of Un
73
Overfrequency 81H
Underfrequency 81L
Series 20
Series 40
Causes of variation in frequency :

overload of the network
wrong operation of a regulator
disconnection of generators
disconnection of large motors
Consequences :
speed variation of machines
wrong operation of synchronous receivers (recorder, clock)
increase of iron loss in magnetic circuits
74
Underfrequency 81L
Series 40
Possibility to set a minimum set point for the voltage :

from 20 to 50%of Unp
Possibility to set a restraint on frequency variation (dF/dt) :
from 1 to 15 Hz/s
Use :
to avoid tripping of sound feeders by load shedding during a strong
short-circuit near a sub-station.
to avoid tripping of all the feeders when the busbar is resupplied by
remanent motor voltage after a change-over.

ROCOF protection df/dt 81R

Rate Of Change Of Frequency
Series 20
Advantages of 81R
compared to 81L
Faster
fast tripping with low
frequency variations
More selective
precise setting of tripping time
protection used for fast
disconnection of a source
transmitting power into a
network when a fault occurs or
to monitor load shedding

Series 20
Example: load shedding

50 Hz
Speed of frequency variation: 0.4 Hz/s
49.5 Hz
Underfrequency (81L) settings: 49.5 Hz 0.1 s

the protection trips in 1.25 s + 0.1 s (time delay) = 1.35 s
df/dt (81R) settings: 0.15 Hz/s 0.5 s
the protection trips in 0.5 s
77

Series 20
Example: disconnection
50 Hz
Speed of frequency variation: 5 Hz/s
49.5 Hz
Underfrequency (81L) settings: 49.5 Hz 0.1 s
the protection trips in 0.1 s + 0.1 s (time delay) = 0.2 s
df/dt (81R) settings: 0.15 Hz/s 0.5 s
the protection trips in 0.5 s

Its better to use a 3-wire connection in

order to obtain a good accuracy. In that
case, variation in wires resistance due to
temperature is not taken into account.
The 3 wire is then used to measure the
resistance of the link.
79
Temperature monitoring
Series 20
Series 40
When the protection is activated, it detects whether the RTD is shorted or

disconnected :
RTD shorting is detected if the measured temperature is less than
-35C, displayed : ****
RTD disconnection is detected if the measured temperature is greater
than +205C, displayed : -****
a message RTD fault 1 for the 1st MET148 module or
RTD fault 2 for the 2nd module is displayed. The protection
outputs are set to zero.
Caution : contrary to Sepam 2000, RTD inputs that are not used
mustn t be short-circuited.
