Construction
Connection techniques and housing with

many advantages
1/2 and 1/1-rack sizes
These are the available housing widths of
the SIPROTEC 4 7SA522 relays, referred to
a 19" module frame system. This means
that previous models can always be re-
placed. The height is a uniform 245 mm
for flush-mounting housings and 266 mm
for surface-mounting housings for all
housing widths. All cables can be con-
nected with or without ring lugs. Plug-in
terminals are available as an option.
LSP2310-afpen.tif
It is thus possible to employ prefabricated
cable harnesses. In the case of surface
mounting on a panel, the connection ter-
minals are located above and below in the
form of screw-type terminals. The com-
munication interfaces are located in a
sloped case at the top and bottom of the 6
housing. Fig. 6/50

Distance protection (ANSI 21, 21N)

The main function of the 7SA522 is a
full-scheme distance protection. By parallel
calculation and monitoring of all six im-
pedance loops, a high degree of sensitivity
and selectivity is achieved for all types of
faults. The shortest tripping time is less
than one cycle. Single-pole and three-pole
tripping is possible. The distance protec-
tion is suitable for cables and overhead
lines with or without series capacitor com-
pensation.
Mho and quadrilateral characteristics
The 7SA522 relay provides quadrilateral as
well as mho zone characteristics. Both Fig. 6/53
characteristics can be used separately for Distance protection:
phase and ground (earth) faults. Resistance quadrilateral characteristic
ground (earth) faults can, for instance, be
covered with the quadrilateral characteris-
6 tic and phase faults with the mho charac-
teristic.
Load zone
In order to guarantee a reliable discrimina-
tion between load operation and short-cir-
cuit - especially on long high loaded lines -
the relay is equipped with a selectable load
encroachment characteristic. Impedances
within this load encroachment characteris-
tic prevent the distance zones from un-
wanted tripping.

Five independent distance zones and one

distance zone has dedicated time stages,
partly separate for single-phase or
multi-phase faults. Ground (earth) faults
are detected by monitoring the neutral
current 3I0 and the zero-sequence voltage
3V0.

Elimination of interference signals

Digital filters render the unit immune to
interference signals contained in the mea-
sured values. In particular, the influence of
DC components, capacitive voltage trans-
formers and frequency changes is consider-
ably reduced. A special measuring method
is employed in order to assure protection
selectivity during saturation of the current
transformers.
Measuring voltage monitoring

Tripping of the distance protection is

Commissioning and fault event analyzing

Special attention has been paid to commis-
sioning. All binary inputs and outputs can
be displayed and activated directly. This
can simplify the wiring check significantly
for the user. The operational and fault
events and the fault records are clearly ar-
ranged. For applications with serial protec-
tion data interface, all currents, voltages
and phases are available via communica-
tion link at each local unit, displayed at the
front of the unit with DIGSI 4 or with
WEB Monitor.
A common time tagging facilitates the

comparison of events and fault records.
WEB Monitor - Internet technology simpli- Fig. 6/60 Web Monitor: Display of the protection direction

In addition to the universal DIGSI 4 oper-
ating program, the relay contains a WEB 6
server that can be accessed via a telecom-
munication link using a browser (e.g.
Internet Explorer). The advantage of this
solution is to operate the unit with stan-
dard software tools and at the same time
make use of the Intranet/Internet infra-
structure. Apart from numeric values,
graphical displays in particular provide
clear information and a high degree of op-
erating reliability. Of course, it is also pos-
sible to call up detailed measured value
displays and annunciation buffers. By em-
ulation of the integrated unit operation on
the PC it is also possible to adjust selected
settings for commissioning purposes.
