Introduction
This manual is to be used in conjunction with the
Siemens 7UT51 v3 Protective Relay Instruction
Manual. Prior to working with this relay, it is
recommended that the instruction manual be read
and understood. The relay has many powerful
features that should be understood before any
settings are applied, tests performed, or installation
made.
This handbook describes manual acceptance
testing, installation, commissioning, and
maintenance of a Siemens 7UT513 V3 Protective
Definition of Terms
Adaptation Factor See Matching Factors
CT Current Transformer
CTR Current Transformer Turns Ratio
Relay in a transformer differential scheme. The

procedures take into account that the protection
settings may vary, but assumes that the relays
contact inputs, contact outputs, and LEDs are
configured with their default values (unless stated
otherwise). It is recommended that the actual
settings be applied to the relay prior to installation
testing. Actual test values for a specific application
must be calculated from the applications data. See
the Siemens 7UT51 Instruction Manual for default
settings of each function.
Matching Factors Based on the transformer setting

information entered into Address Block 1100, the
relay will match the currents to be process by the
relay. The relay matches these currents
mathematically for any chosen vector group (see
Vector Group Chart in the Siemens 7UT51
Instruction Manual) using the equation:
[I*] = k x [K] x [I]
Cross-Block Harmonic blocking across phases
where:
Discrete Input Binary Input
[I] = matrix of measured currents IA, IB, IC

[I*] = matrix of matched currents IA*, IB*, IC*
k = current matching scalar factor (see note below):
Enabled/Disabled (on relay LCD) or

Nonexistent/Existent (in WinDIGSI and the
Siemens 7UT51 Instruction Manual)The available protective and additional functions can
be programmed Enabled/Existent or Disabled/
Nonexistent. Functions which are configured
Disabled will not be processed. There will be no
annunciations and the associated setting parameter
will not be requested during setting.
Password
A password is required to change any settings,
or to run any test routines.
A password is not required to view annunciation
logs, measured values, or settings.
The password is six zeroes: 000000.
In or IN Nominal rated current of the monitored
winding or side of the transformer.
INsecWx Rated secondary current of winding x.
IObjsec Rated secondary current of the virtual object.
IxLy Winding x, Phase y.
Marshalling A special-use term that refers to the
programming assignment of a set of logical functions
to various physical I/O devices.
kCT1 = current processed by 7UT51

current through the relay terminals
[K] = current matching coefficient matrix (See Vector

Group Chart in the Siemens 7UT51 Instruction
Manual.)
Note: The k matching factors are calculated by the
relay from the entered rated data and can be
read out in the operational annunciation in
Address Block 5100.
Megger A high-range ohmmeter having a built-in,
hand-driven generator as a direct voltage source,
used for measuring insulation resistance values and
other high resistances. Also used for continuity,
ground, and short circuit testing in general electrical
power work.
NV-RAM Non-volatile random access memory.
Parameterizing Setting up/programming the
parameters of the relay.
RGF Restricted ground fault protection.

connection of a Y connected transformer.
SWITCH-OFF The switch-off of a function means
that the protective function has been established as
Enabled; however, the function is turned Off.
requisition with a PC through the relays

communication port. At the computer, the data can
be easily read on the screen, changed, saved to
disk, or printed.
WinDIGRA A full-function digital oscillographic
analysis (Windows-based) software that will allow
the user to view captured waveforms.
VA Rated Apparent Power

Vn/VN Rated phase to phase voltage or if the
transformer is a LTC,
Vn = (2 X Vmax X Vmin) / (Vmax + Vmin)
Vector Group Integer n that represents the phase

shift from the first winding to the second winding of a
power transformer, n x 30. See the Siemens
7UT51 Instruction Manual for list of vector groups.
Winding In this document it will refer to the side of

the transformer or tertiary. Winding 1 is defined as
the reference winding. The reference winding is
normally that of the higher voltage; however, if a CT
is installed in the ground lead of a grounded wye
connected transformer, that winding must be used
as the reference winding in order to ensure
increased ground fault sensitivity by correction of
the zero sequence current.

Control of a Protection Function
The protective function must first be set as Enabled.
Once made Enabled, the protective function can be turned Off
or On via the relay front panel, remote interface, PC, or discrete
input.
If the protective function is Enabled and On, the trip function
can be blocked; however the relay will still function normally and
record events accordingly.

Suggested Test Equipment
The following equipment is suggested to perform the
acceptance and commissioning tests for the
transformer differential scheme. Further detail on the
equipment specifications required for acceptance
testing is given in the Acceptance Testing section of
this document.
One push-button (or other mechanical) switch to

apply voltage to contact inputs during testing of
related functions.
One control power source DC and AC.
One phase angle meter.
One megger up to 500V.
Two accurate variable single-phase current

sources, one of which can output 300Hz current.
One sensor for detecting closure of output

contacts, for example an ohmmeter, a bulb with a
power supply, or buzzer with a power supply.
One timer that is started by the test set output and
stopped by the relay output contact.
One high impedance low range volt/ohm meter.
Two ammeters.
Load box.
One 1:2 isolation power transformer may be
required for testing of the control circuitry.
Telephone set for talking circuits with remote
terminations may be required for testing of the
control circuitry.

7UT51 v3
Siemens 7UT51 Relay Pre-Energization
Checklist
Hazardous voltage or current.
Fit a DC ammeter in series with the auxiliary

power circuit using a range of 1.5 to 3 amperes.
Close the DC supply circuit breaker; check

polarity and magnitude of voltage at the
terminals of the unit or at the connector module.
Steady-state current consumption should be

insignificant. Any initial transient current is due
to charging of the storage capacitors.
Slide the switch on the front panel to the On

position. On completion of the startup/ warmup
period, the green LED on the front comes on in
0.5 seconds and the red LED goes off after 5
seconds.
Can cause death, serious personal

injury, or property damage.
Only qualified personnel should test or
commission a really. Read and
understand this manual, the Siemens
7UT51 v3 Protective Relay Instruction
Manual, and the manuals for any test
equipment before proceeding.
Before performing work on current
transformer wiring, always short circuit the
secondary of all the current transformers.
Open the DC power supply circuit breaker.
To avoid damage to the relay, ensure that

output contacts do not break currents
greater than their ratings.
Remove DC ammeter; reconnect the auxiliary

voltage leads.

any control power or test value applied to
the relay does not exceed the
corresponding inputs limit.
Check the direction of phase rotation at the relay

terminals (clockwise).
Ensure that trip circuits are disconnected from

the relay trip contacts and are left opencircuited. Also, disconnect from external
breaker failure devices any of the relay outputs
that are being tested.
Ensure that the current circuits are disconnected

from the relay current inputs and are shortcircuited.
Ensure that contact inputs to be tested are

disconnected from all circuits.
Before energizing the relay, it must be installed

for at least two hours to ensure temperature
equalization and to avoid condensation.
Switch off the DC supply and the potential

transformer circuit.
Verify that the miniature slide switch on the front

panel is in the Off position.

Setting and Programming the Siemens 7UT51 Relay
Have the Relay Setting Sheets (included in the
Siemens 7UT51 Relay Instruction Manual)
completely filled out with the required settings.
If the meaning of the required parameter is not clear,
it is usually best to leave it at the factory setting.
Front Panel
(See Relay Front Panel View in the Siemens 7UT51
Instruction Manual.)
If the parameter address is known, then direct
addressing is possible on the front panel of relay.
This is achieved by depressing the Direct Access
key, followed by the four-digit address, and then
pressing the Enter key.
If the parameter address is not known, paging by
means of the arrow keys on the front panel of the
relay is possible.
To change the content of a memory address, the
address must be selected and the relay must be
placed in Password mode.
PC
The programming of the relay with a PC and
WinDIGSI software is straight forward since it is
Windows based; however, consult the Siemens
WinDIGSI Users Manual for detailed instructions if
necessary.

Accessing Data
The Siemens 7UT51 relay is microprocessor
controlled, it can monitor, record, and store input
and output data. This data is available through the
LEDs and LCD display on the relay and can also be
accessed via a PC with WinDIGSI software or a
SCADA system. Using the WinDIGSI software, the
currents can be monitored, event logs can be read,
tested performed, and the oscillograms can be
viewed for fault analysis.
Relay Front Display

Address Block 7100 contains addresses that specify
the appearance and content of the LCD display on
the front panel of the relay and the type of event that
will update the LCD display and LED states.
Address 7105 and 7106 control lines 1 and 2 of the
LCD during normal operation. Address 7107 and
7108 control line 1 and 2 of the LCD after a network
disturbance.
Matching or Adaptation Factors
Address 7110 determines the type of event that will

update the LCD information and LED states.
To check that the matching factors for the rated

currents of the protected object are correct:
Measured Current Tests

Address Block 4100
From the front panel of the relay, these factors

are available in Address 5100 and updated each
time the parameterizing process has been
terminated.
The relay measurement of all currents and phase

angles can be read through test Address Block
4100:
Using the WinDIGSI software, these values are

found in the Operational Annunciations listed as
Adaptation Factors (Figure 7).
Use the calculated factor in the following equation:

k CT Wx = Current processed by 7UT51
Current through the relay terminals
KsCTWx are the factors for inputs from the CT in

the ground of a star-point connection (common point
of a wye transformer).
4101 Line Currents

4121 Line Phase Angle Relations
4141 Star Point Phase Angles
4161 Differential and Stabilizing Currents
The test can be initiated directly from the relay panel

or via WinDIGSI. To initiate this test with WinDIGSI
go to the Test menu, choose Commissioning Test,
and then choose any of the four measurements
listed above. See Figure 8 for WinDIGSI screen
example.
After start, the relay first checks whether the
measurement can be carried out. If a protection
function has picked up before, the measurement is
rejected. When the measured quantities are too
small, a corresponding message **** is given.
Note: If an invalid or Current Too Small message
is given on one side or phase, further
currents can still be read.
Figure 7: Matching/Adaptation Factor
PRCM-1108A-0199
It is important to that the current, differential and

stabilizing values are referred to the rated current of
the transformer winding. See Figure 8 for DIGRA a
screen example.
17
7UT51 v3
Line Phase Angle Relations
(Figure 8)
The phase angle relations are displayed in Address
4121 after the test has been performed. Symbols
W1, W2, W3*, WA*, WB* for the winding of the
transformer on the relay LCD (such as I1, I2, I3 in
WinDIGSI). Symbols Ia, Ib, and Ic for the phase on
the relay LCD (PhA, PhB, and PhC in WinDIGSI).
The phase angle differences are displayed in 30
increments; small deviations up to 10 are
tolerated. When the measured angle is outside of
this tolerance range, the display shows inval. The
angle differences are defined for clockwise phase
rotation. The angle differences of the three currents
of side 1, 2, and 3 should be as follows:
W1Ib W1Ia = 240, W2Ib W2Ia = 240, W3Ib

W3Ia = 240
W1Ic W1Ia = 120, W2Ic W2Ia = 120, W3Ic
W3Ia = 120
The polarities of the through flowing currents are

defined to be equal, as when currents of equal
phase flow through the protected object, the angle
difference is 0, provided the connections are correct.
But the theoretical angle value depends on the
transformer and the vector connection group. The
measured angles must be equal for all three phases.
If not, individual phases will be interchanged.
Zero Sequence Test

(Figure 8)
Address 4141 checks the angle measurement of the
star-point to the line currents. Numerical values are
to be expected only for those current inputs which
are included in the test current path, for the
remaining currents, **** is displayed.
Note: If an additional current input is not assigned
to any side of the protected object
(Addresses 7806 and 7807), the associated
measured values will not appear.
Differential and Stabilizing Current Check
(Figure 8)
Address 4161 checks the differential and stabilizing
currents. Go to Address 4161 and read the
calculated values by scrolling through the display.
If checking line current or through-faults, the
differential value should be negligible against the
magnitude of the line currents. The stabilizing
(restraint) value should be approximately twice the
line or test current value. Important to note that the
differential and stabilizing values are referred to as
the rated current of the transformer winding.
If considerable differential currents occur, recheck
the following parameters:
The polarity of the current connections and the

parameterized polarity are taken into consideration
when the angles are displayed. Therefore, if all
three angles differ by 180 from the theoretical
value, the polarity of one complete CT set is wrong.
This can be corrected by checking and changing the
corresponding plant parameters:
Address 1105 for the primary winding of the

transformer
Address 1125 for the secondary winding of a

transformer
The connection group values of power transformers

are defined from the higher voltage side to the lower
voltage side. When measuring from the lower
voltage side: 360 minus the stated angle is valid.
18
Check Addresses 1102 to 1104, matching of

Transformer Winding 1
Check Addresses 1121 to 1124, matching of
transformer winding.
Restricted Ground-Fault Current Test

If the relay is equipped with the restricted ground
fault protection and this is to be used, a further zero
sequence current test must be carried out.
Address 4181 will test and display the
measurements for the restricted earth fault
protection.
Leaving Test Operation
Address Block 4800
When the relay is in test mode, the differential
protection and the restricted ground fault protection
are not effective, even when they are switched On.
If no activities are carried out within 60 minutes, the
relay automatically terminates the test operation. All
protection functions that are switched On are then
operational again. It is recommended that the Test

mode be definitely finished once the tests have been
completed.

Waveform Data
The relay can simultaneously capture data for all
current inputs and up to four user-defined functions
that report the status of discrete-signal inputs. The
data must be downloaded to a PC for analysis and
storage.
The data storage parameters can be programmed in
Address Block 7400. Data storage can also be
initiated via a discrete input or by the operator via the
front panel of the relay or a PC. The configuration
parameters required for this function to operate are
as follows:
Address 7402 initiates the waveform capture

with pickup or trip.
Address 7410 determines the maximum length

of time for the waveform capture.
Address 7411 sets the pre-trigger time.
Address 7412 sets amount of captured

waveform after trigger.
Address 7431 Storage time for triggering via

discrete (binary) input.
Address 7432 Storage time for triggering via the

keyboard.
To access the waveform data using WinDIGSI and

DIGRA, choose the following menu items:

Acceptance Testing
7UT51 Electrical Testing
The purpose of this section is to provide a procedure
for acceptance testing and installation testing a
7UT51. The procedure is for manual testing,
although the document could be used as a
foundation for automated test plans. Simple
adaptations allow the procedure to also be used for
testing after an in-service setting change. The
procedure can be easily adapted for evaluation and
familiarization with a 7UT51.
For this document, acceptance testing is testing a
user performs to become satisfied that a 7UT51 is
functioning properly. Installation testing is done by a
user to verify that the 7UT51 will perform correctly
within a specific application. For many users,
acceptance testing and installation testing are the
same.
It is important to note that routine testing is covered
in another section.
The degree of testing needed for acceptance testing
and installation testing is dependent upon the users
philosophies. There is sufficient detail to guide the
user in adapting the procedure to the users
satisfaction.
operational-checking of the transformer protection to

simply checking the CT connections, 7UT51 input
connections, and wiring of the output contacts.
For a 7UT51 with multiple sets of protection settings
being used, fully test one set, and only the changes
in the remaining sets.
Testing for In-Service Setting Changes
Perform only the tests in the procedure that are
applicable to the change.
Evaluation Testing
While the procedure is specifically written for
acceptance and installation testing, the procedure
can easily be adapted to allow the user to perform
exhaustive evaluation tests. In the process, the user
will become very familiar with the 7UT51.
Perform all of the electrical tests, ignoring any
instructions to skip a particular test. Repeat each
test, trying different values for the setting being
checked. Test different programming of the inputs
and outputs.
Automated Testing
The procedure provides the groundwork for
automated test plans of a 7UT51. The user can
create the plans with the test equipment of choice.
Acceptance Testing
Acceptance Test Equipment
A 7UT51 has many protective elements and control

features that can be used in a variety of ways.
Testing all of the elements and control features, in
the many different ways they can be used, is not
recommended. Such testing would be very timeconsuming. Instead, the procedure should be used
with typical settings and control, or settings and
control that are likely to be used. Then only the
applicable tests need to be performed. Using the
default settings and control is a good alternative.
The procedure requires the following test equipment:

Power source matching the rating of the 7UT51
Two variable current sources with the following
capabilities:
Accuracy of +/- 2% or better over the entire
output range
One source that can provide 20 amps (if
7UT51 rated for 5 amps)
One source that can provide 120 Hz, 180
Hz, 240 Hz, and 300 Hz current
Both sources can be individually or
simultaneously turned On and Off.
A timer that can be started when either a current
source is turned On or Off, and stopped by
either the opening or closing of a dry contact.
The accuracy should be +/- 2% or better. A
timer built-in to a test-set with one (or both) of
the current sources is preferred.
An ohmmeter, or other sensor for detecting a
transition of a dry contact
Installation Testing
Perform only the tests required to check the settings
and control to be used in the specific field
application. Complete testing of the discrete inputs,
signal contacts, and trip contacts is recommended
using this procedure. This will reduce field
22
PRCM-1108A-0199
7UT51 v3
An On/Off switch to apply DC voltage to discrete

inputs of the 7UT51.
Calculator with the capability of performing sine,
cosine, and natural log functions.
The following is not required, but highly

recommended:
A timer with +/- 2% accuracy or better, that can
be started by the opening or closing of a dry
contact, and stopped by the opening or closing
of a dry contact.
Computer with WinDIGSI software and cable.
Important Notes about the Procedure
1. Do not exceed the current limitations of the

7UT51.
The current limitations (rms) of the CT inputs
associated with the transformer winding and
neutral CTs are:

The rated current is on the nameplate.

Be especially mindful of the current limitations
when testing the high-set differential element, the
upper slope of the differential characteristic, the
required restraint current to activate the throughfault-CT-saturation restraint, the high-set element
of the overcurrent backup protection, and the
thermal overload elements.
The current limitations for the CT input
associated with the highly sensitive tank leakage
protection, terminals [1D1-1D2] are:
Continuous Current Rating:

I 15 Amps
10 Second Current Rating:
15 Amps < I 100 Amps
PRCM-1108A-0199
2. Calculate the rated currents of transformer

windings and the virtual object.
The rated currents are needed throughout the
procedure. The rated currents should be
calculated and recorded before the procedure is
started. With INsecWx being the rated current of
Winding x (x = 1, 2, or 3) and IObjsec being the
rated current of the virtual object, both in CT
secondary terms:
INsecWx =
(Winding Rating in kVA)
(1.732)x (Winding kV-)x(Winding CTR)
The values to use for this equation are found in

Address Block 1100. Be aware that CT ratios
are not entered in this Address Block if the
CTs have a secondary rating of 5 amps. Instead,
the primary current ratings of the CTs, for the set
ratios, are entered in Addresses 1104, 1124, and
1144. For CTs with a rating of 5 amps, these
addresses must be divided by 5 amps to obtain
the ratios to use in the above equation.
IObjsec =
Address1401 x (CT Sec. Rating in amps)
Address 1402
The CT secondary rating is either 5 amps or 1

amp.
3. Test equipment accuracy.

Unless otherwise stated, +/- 2% accuracy is
assumed for the test equipment. This accuracy is
included in the values given in the Expected
Results part of the procedure.
4. Check titles for settings and events.

Event titles and setting options for the addresses
mentioned in the procedure are as they appear in
the WinDIGSI software, Version 3.22. The titles
can vary between the software and the front
panel of the 7UT51.
5. Verify actual programming of trip relays and

signal relays.
The Expected Results part of most tests in the
procedure has the operation of the trip relays,
signal relays, LEDs, and LCD that should occur for
the test, based on the default settings of these
outputs and targets. For each test, the user
should always verify the operation of the relays
and targets based on the settings for the particular
7UT51 being tested.
23
7UT51 v3
Verification of the programming of trip relays and
signals relays is especially important during
installation testing. The user may have to add
tests to the procedure to verify each output relay is
operating as intended.
The relay and target default settings of interest in
this procedure are given below. They apply for a
7UT513. The programming also applies to a
7UT512 except this protective system has trip
relays 1 and 2, signal relays 1-4, and LEDs 1-6.

6. Be aware of control of protective elements by

discrete inputs.
The operational status of most of the protective
elements can be controlled by discrete inputs.
Before testing any element, determine if any such
control is intended, and apply (or remove) the
necessary input to allow testing. Tests are
included to verify the control with the input in the
opposite state as that needed for testing.

3 (if applicable).
26
For each phase of each winding, the pickup current

at contact closure should be within +/- 5% of 87Itrip(Wx).
The expected operations of the trip contacts, signal

contacts, LEDs, and LCD depend on the
programming of the 7UT51. The user should check
for correct operations of these outputs.
For the default settings, all trip contacts should
close, signal relays 1 and 2 should operate, and
LEDs 1 and 2 should light when 87 trips. At dropout,
the contacts should reset but the LEDs should
remain lit because they are set to latch. When the
current is turned off, the LCD should display 87Diff
GenFlt and 87DiffGenTrip.
Remaining Tests of the Differential Protection
The remaining tests for the differential protection
only need to be done with current injected in one
phase of one winding, unless otherwise stated.
Test 2. Time Delay of 87 Tripping: Address 1625
If Address 1625 = 0.00 seconds, skip to the next
test.
Two options for testing Address 1625 are presented.
With one exception, Option 1 is recommended
because more accurate results are produced.
Option 1 does require a standalone timer that is
started on a contact closure, and stopped on a
closure of a second contact. If Address 1625 is
infinite (+) seconds, Option 2 should be performed.

Notes about Testing the Differential High-Set
Element: Address 1604
Tests pertaining to the high-set element (87HS) are
likely to require high currents.
Note: Do not to exceed the current limitations of the
7UT51 previously mentioned in this
procedure.
The pickup current of 87HS depends on the winding
into which current is injected.
Test 4. Pickup of 87HS: Address 1604

This test is only to be done if 87HS-Itrip(Wx) is 20
amps or less (4 amps or less if the 7UT51 is rated
for 1 amp.)

3. If 87HS-Itrip(Wx) is 20 amps or less (4 amps or
less for a 7UT51 with a 1 amp rating), perform
tests 4, 5, and 6. Otherwise, perform only tests
5 and 6.
If the 87HS pickup current is less than 20 amps, a
precise pickup level is determined in Test 4. If the
pickup current is greater than 20 amps, the test for a
precise pickup is foregone, and a test current of 1.2
X 87HS-Itrip(Wx) is used for verification of pickup in
tests 5 and 6.
Tests for 87HS may cause other elements to
operate, such as those of the Overcurrent Backup
Protection or the Thermal Overload Protection. If
this occurs, the other elements can be temporarily
turned Off (Address 2101 for Overcurrent Protection
and Address 2401 or Address 2501 for Thermal
Overload Protection). If elements are turned Off,
they should remain Off until the tests for the
differential protection are completed. Some later 87
tests could also operate these other elements.
Note: Be sure to turn back on any affected
elements, after the 87/87HS tests are
completed.
PRCM-1108A-0199
Connect the 7UT51 as shown in Figure 14. Inject

current into one phase of the winding with the lowest
87HS-Itrip(Wx).
Recommended Option:
Set Address 1625 = +* (infinite) seconds. This
setting will permit verification that 87HS tripping
operates contacts that are programmed for both 87
and 87HS tripping. Otherwise, 87 tripping will occur
before 87HS tripping in the test below.

2. Turn On the current and slowly increase the
current until 87HS trips, as indicated by the
LEDs or contacts.
3. Turn Off the current and reset targets.
4. Set Address 1625 for the desired setting if a
change was made.
Note: Regardless of the setting of Address 1625,
the contact of Trip Relay 1 will not reset in
the above test until 87 drops out. The
dropout of 87 is tested above; therefore, not
repeated here.

Expected Results:
Pickup Current
The pickup current at contact closure should be
within +/- 5% of the calculated 87HS-Itrip(Wx).
Contacts, LEDs, and LCD
For the default settings with Address 1625 = infinite
seconds, all trip contacts should close, signal relays
1 and 2 should operate, and LEDs 1 and 3 should
light when 87HS trips. When the current is turned
Off, the contacts should open, the LCD should
display 87Diff GenFlt and 87DiffGenTrip, and the
LEDs remain latched. With Address 1625 equal to
another setting, the same target and contact
operations should occur, except LED 2 should also
light and latch.
Test 5. Time Delay of 87HS Trip: Address 1626

test.
This test requires 87HS to be solidly picked up for a
time greater than Address 1626. To simplify the
procedure and alleviate concerns about thermal
damage to the 7UT51, a setting change of Address
1604 (87HS pickup) may be required.
Two options for testing the Address 1626 are
presented. With one exception, Option 1 is
recommended because more accurate results are
produced. Option 1 does require a standalone timer
that is started on a contact closure, and stopped on
a closure of a second contact. If Address 1626 is
infinite (+*) seconds, Option 2 should be performed.

PRCM-1108A-0199
Since the current transactor and current processing

of each phase of each winding are verified in Test 1,
only one fault needs to be simulated for the throughfault and slope tests.
The current distribution sensed by a 7UT51, for an
external fault, depends on the fault type and
location, the connections of the transformer
windings, and the CT connections.
Three cases are detailed below to provide examples
of possible methods for simulating through-faults, in
testing the security of a 7UT51. Each case involves
two-winding, delta-grounded wye transformers.
Users with other applications can consider the cases
and the comments at the end of this notes section,
and adapt the procedure accordingly.
Case 1: delta-grounded wye transformers with the
delta winding being the reference winding (Winding
1).
wye winding being Winding 1. Zero sequence
current processing (Address 1106) set for I0
elimination.
wye winding being Winding 1. Zero sequence
current processing (Address 1106) set for I0
correction.
Note: The assumptions for the three cases are that
all CTs are wye-connected; all common
points of the CTs are towards the transformer
(Addresses 1105 and 1125); all CTs are
subtractive with the secondary polarities
connected to the polarities of the 7UT51
current inputs; zero sequence current
processing is without for the delta-side of the
transformer; and the rotation is ABC.
37
7UT51 v3
For all three cases, the fault simulated is an
external, phase-ground fault on the wye-side of the
transformer. This is the simplest fault to simulate
using two test-current sources.
Consider the common, ANSI connected, delta
grounded wye transformer shown in Figure 20. Let
currents be defined as flowing into the transformer
(both sides). For an a-phase-ground fault resulting
in a current of 1.0 per unit through the transformer
winding to the fault, IA = -IC. Also, IA = 0.58 per unit
or (1/1.732) per unit for Ia = -1.0 per unit. If the fault
is on b-phase, with Ib = -1.0 per unit, then IB = -IA =
(1/1.732) per unit. If the fault is on c-phase, with Ic =
-1.0 per unit, then IC = -IB = (1/1.732) per unit.
These current relationships that result for phaseground faults on the wye side are used in the tests
below.
1.0 p.u.
0.58 p.u.
Since all of the current inputs are checked in Test 1,

only one simulation of one phase-ground fault needs
to be done to check the security of the 7UT51 for
through-faults, and test the slopes of the 87
characteristic. There is sufficient information below
for the user to simulate a fault on any of the phases.
A source of positive and negative sequence currents
on the delta side is assumed in Figure 20, as is a
radial or open system on the wye side. For testing
the 7UT51, these assumptions are not important. A
recommendation in this procedure is that when the
user runs the through-fault and slope tests below,
the user should model the simplest fault, that can be
simulated with two test currents, with the transformer
connected to a power system in the simplest way. If
the simulation is unrealistic for the application, this is
not important. The differential characteristic will be
adequately checked.

Figure 20: Dy1 Transformer, a-Phase-Ground Fault

If the delta winding in Figure 20 is considered the
reference winding, this transformer is called a Dy1
transformer. The D is capitalized to indicate the
delta winding is the reference. The 1 means the
positive sequence, a-phase-voltage-neutral (V1an)
LAGS the positive sequence A-phase-voltageneutral (V1AN) by (1 X 30). By connecting the
power system phases to different wye side windings
(maintaining ABC rotation), or by reversing the
polarity of the three wye side windings and
connecting the power system phases in various
combinations, different phase shifts are obtained.
The possibilities are Dyz, where z is an integer
multiplied by 30 to indicate the angle by which V1an
lags V1An, and z = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, or 11. The 7UT51
instruction manual has excellent diagrams of the
Dyz transformers showing the transformer winding
connections and power system phase connections.
The user must know the transformer winding being

considered by the 7UT51 as the reference winding.
This can be determined by viewing the settings in
Address Block 1100.
Note: Addresses 1102-1108 apply to the reference
winding (Winding 1).
Addresses 1121-1128 apply to Winding 2.
Addresses 1141-1148 apply to Winding 3.
If Winding 1 is a grounded wye winding, the user
must know the processing done, by the 7UT51, on
the zero sequence currents of the winding. The
processing determines the required test connections
below. See Address 1106.
Case 1: Delta-Grounded Wye Transformers,
Delta is Reference Winding (Dyz)
7UT51 Connections
Figure 21 shows the connections for a Dy1
transformer, with an a-phase-ground fault simulated.
The connections for all Dyz transformers and all
phase-ground faults are below.
For all Dyz transformers, any phase-ground fault on

the wye side with 1.0 per unit
current results in (1/1.732) per unit current in one
phase of the delta side, and (1/1.732) per unit of
current in another phase of the delta side. The
phases involved depend on z, and the faulted
phase.

The 7UT51 determines restraint and differential

currents as such (two-winding):
IAREST = IA** + Ia**
IBREST = IB** + Ib**
ICREST = IC** + Ic**
IADIFF = IA** + Ia** (phasor sum)
IBDIFF = IB** + Ib** (phasor sum)
ICDIFF = IC** + Ic** (phasor sum)
The I** currents are not actual currents. They are
quantities mathematically derived by the 7UT51
using the actual currents into the 7UT51. The
derivations differ depending on the selection of
PRCM-1108A-0199

Winding 1, the connection of the transformer
Winding 2, and the processing of the zero-sequence
currents.
Knowledge of the equations for the I** is not
essential for the tests below; however, the equations
do allow the user to understand better the operation
of the 7UT51. The equations also allow the
procedure to be adapted easier if the user is testing
the 7UT51 for applications other than the three
cases mentioned above. Consult the instruction
book or Siemens to obtain the equations.
For Dyz transformers, the equations for I** are given
immediately below and in Table 8. The table also
provides the metering values to expect when

If the currents in Figure 20 are increased by a factor

of 1.732, then I** (non-zero currents) becomes
1.0 per unit. The resulting IAREST and ICREST become
2 per unit. If the currents in Figure 20 are increased
by a factor of (M X 1.732), where M is a constant
chosen by the user, then IAREST and ICREST become
(2 X M) per unit. Thus, with test currents set as
such:
I1 = (M X 1.732) X (0.577 X INsecW1) =
[M X INsecW1 ] at 0
I2 = [M X 1.732 X INsecW2 ]at 0
The restraint currents become 2 X M. By adjusting

M, the user can easily control the restraint current.
This allows for simple testing of the 87 slopes.
The same analysis can be done for any Dyz
transformer. Table 7 indicates the phase currents
involved. Table 8 shows the non-zero, restraint
currents. For the test-set connections of Table 7,
the same conclusion regarding test currents I1 and

V1an leads V1An by 30 which is the same as
lagging by 330, or (11 X 30). For the A-phaseground fault in Figure 23, IA = -1.0 per unit, IB = IC =
0, Ia = -Ic = 0.58 per unit, and Ib = 0. Thus:
IA** = (2/3)IA = -(2/3) per unit
IB** = -(1/3)IA = (1/3) per unit
IC** = -(1/3)IA = (1/3) per unit
If the currents in Figure 23 are increased by a factor

of (3/2), or 1.5, then IA** and Ia** become 1.0
per unit. The resulting IAREST becomes 2 per unit. If
the currents in Figure 23 are increased by a factor of
(M X 1.5), where M is a constant chosen by the user,
then IAREST becomes (2 X M) per unit. Thus, with
test currents set as such:
I1 = [M X 1.5 X INsecW1] at 0
I2 = [(M X 1.5) X (0.577 X INsecW2 )] =
[M X 0.866 X INsecW2] at 0
The restraint current associated with the faulted

phase becomes 2 X M. By adjusting M, the user
can easily control this restraint current. This allows
for simple testing of the 87 slopes.
The same analysis can be done for any Ydz

transformer. Table 9 indicates the phase currents
involved. Table 10 shows the restraint currents. For
the test-set connections of Table 9, the same
conclusion regarding test currents I1 and I2 results.
Ia** = (2)(0.577)(Ia) = (2/3) per unit

Ib** = (-0.577)(Ia) = -(1/3) per unit
Ic** = (-0.577)(Ia) = -(1/3) per unit
Case 3: Delta-Grounded Wye Transformers, Wye

is Reference Winding (Ydz), Zero
Sequence Current Correction (Address
1106 = I0 correction).
IAREST =-(2/3) per unit+ (2/3) per unit =

(4/3) unit
Consider first Case 2, even if the case does not

apply. Cases 2 and 3 are similar.
IBREST = ICREST =
(1/3) per unit + -(1/3) per unit =
(2/3) per unit = (1/2)IAREST
IADIFF = -(2/3) per unit + (2/3) per unit) =
0 per unit
IBDIFF = ICDIFF =
(1/3) per unit + (-1)(1/3)per unit =

same as those for Case 2. See Table 10 for Case 2.
Consider again the Yd11 transformer in Figure 23
(Case 2). For the A-phase-ground fault, IA = -IN = 1.0 per unit, IB = IC = 0, Ia = -Ic = 0.58 per unit, and
Ib = 0. Thus:
IA** = (2/3)IA = -(2/3) per unit

IB** = -(1/3)IA = (1/3) per unit
IC** = -(1/3)IA = (1/3) per unit
Ia** = (2)(0.577)(Ia) = (2/3) per unit

Ib** = (-0.577)(Ia) = -(1/3) per unit
Ic** = (-0.577)(Ia) = -(1/3) per unit
These are the same results as Case 2. This is to be

expected because zero sequence current
elimination and correction perform the same function
for external faults, namely filter the zero sequence
currents before the I** are combined. For internal
faults, the results are quite different between the
elimination method and the correction method.

The conclusion concerning test currents for case 2
also results for Case 3.
I1 = [M X 1.5 X INsecW1] at 0
I2 = [(M X 1.5) X (0.577 X INsecW2 )] =
[M X 0.866 X INsecW2] at 0
The restraint current associated with the faulted

phase becomes 2 X M. By adjusting M, the user
can easily control this restraint current. This allows
for simple testing of the 87 slopes.
Three-Winding Transformers
A 7UT513 protecting three winding transformers can
be adequately tested by considering two windings at
a time, and testing them like a two-winding
transformer. Test the reference winding and
Winding 2. Then test the reference winding and
Winding 3. These two tests will verify the 87
algorithm and the constants being used to form IDIFF
and IREST. Testing Winding 2 and Winding 3 is not
necessary.
Transformers Other Than Dyz and Ydz with the
above Assumptions
If the transformer being protected has different
winding connections or CT connections, determine
the current flows to the 7UT51 for the simplest fault,
with the transformer connected to a power system in
the simplest way. If the equations for I** are
available, they can be used in an analysis, similar to
those above, to predict the test currents needed to
obtain a desired restraint current. If the equations
are not available, the metering from the WinDIGSI
software can be used to obtain the desired restraint
current. Remember always to increase the currents
on different sides of the transformer by the same
factor.

A and Ph C should be about 300%, allow them
to vary between (293% and 307%) before
changing the test currents.
The previous test is used to simulate a through-fault.

The magnitudes of the test currents are fixed to
maintain a constant IREST. The phase angle of one
of the currents is then varied to provide IDIFF. Once
the minimum angle at which 87 trips is found, the
slope is calculated.
The points of intersection of the 87 minimum pickup
(Address 1603) and Slope 1, and Slope 1 and Slope
2, must be known for the tests. Slope 1 goes
through the origin. Slope 2 intersects IREST at
Address 1607.
The intersection of Address 1603 and Slope 1is the
value of IREST at which Slope 1 begins to control 87
tripping. The intersection is found using this
equation:
Address 1603-Slope 1 Intersection =

The intersection of Slope 1 and Slope 2 is the value
of IREST at which Slope 2 begins to control 87 tripping

Calculate [A + B ] where the 1/2 power means

the square root of the sum.
Assumed in the equation is Address 1608 > Address

1606. The settings ranges of Slope 1, Slope 2, and
the base point of Slope 2 (Address 1607) are such
that the lines may never intersect, or the lines may
be the same. The user should sketch the lines for
Slope 1 and Slope 2 if Address 1608 Address
1606, or if Address 1607 = 0.0. For any combination
of settings, at any given IREST, 87 tripping is based
on the least sensitive of: Address 1603 (minimum
pickup), Slope 1, or Slope 2.

Slope 2.
The slope tests (especially Slope 2) and the

currents.

In Test 14, M = 1.5 to give IREST = (2 X M) = 3.0 per

between the two intersection points discussed
above. If this is true, this test can be done now. If
3.0 per unit does not fall within the intersection
points, then M must first be adjusted accordingly.

7. For Case 1, set Source 2 current for [(0.5 X

cases 2 and 3, set Source 2 current for [(0.5 X
Address 1618) X 0.866 X INsecW2] at 0.
8. Set the timer to start on the application of the
current with the lower magnitude, and stop on
the closure of the contact from Trip Relay 1.
9. Turn On only the current with the lower
magnitude.
10. Turn Off the current and record the tripping time
of 87 plus contact.
11. Repeat steps 9 and 10 to obtain a pickup
timespread of 87 plus contact.
Even with the minimum Address 1618, this test is

likely to require high currents that exceed the
continuous current rating of the 7UT51.
Therefore, this test is optional.
If this test is performed, the current must be turned
On and quickly turned Off in about one second.
Do not leave high currents applied, permanent
damage could occur.
To test Address 1618, a change of the setting may
be necessary to keep the test current within the
limitations of the 7UT51.
Note: Use the 7UT51 connections from Test 14,
except replace the contact monitor with a
timer that starts on the application or removal
of test current, and stops on the closure of
the contact from Trip Relay 1.
1. Substitute the value [0.5 X Address 1618] for M
in steps 4 and 5 of Test 14.
2. Determine the higher magnitude of the two test
currents.
3. If the calculated current in Step 2 is greater than

12. Temporarily disconnect the timer.

13. If either currents of Source 1 or Source 2 exceed
20 amps (4 amps for a 7UT51 rated for 1 amp),
the application of the currents in the next step
must be very brief (about 1 second).
15. Turn Off both currents.
16. Note the state of LED 4, and reset if necessary.
If LED 4 is lit, the pickup for the through-faultrestraint area was met or exceeded.
17. Based on the state of LED 4 from Step 16,
adjust the currents up or down while they are
Off, and repeat steps 14-16 until the pickup
point is found for Address 1618. Both currents
must be adjusted by the same factor. This is
critical. Try factors such as 102%, 101%, 99%,
98%.
18. Record the currents at pickup from Step 17.
19. Set both Source 1 current and Source 2 current
for 110% to 120% of the values in Step 18.
20. Re-connect the timer.
21. Set the timer to start when the current with the
higher magnitude is turned Off, and stop when
the contact from Trip Relay 1 closes.
22. The current source providing more than 20
amps (4 amps) should be on only briefly (about
1 second) in the next step.
24. Turn Off the higher magnitude current only.
25. Turn Off the lower current.
26. Be sure LED 4 is lit. If not, repeat steps 19-25
with slightly higher currents.
27. Record the value from the timer.
28. Record the LEDs and LCD, and reset them.

29. Set Addresses 1618 and 1625 to the original
values.
30. Program LED 4 for the original settings.
Expected Results:
The result of Step 17 is the tested value for Address
1618. To calculate the tested value:
Case 1:
Source 1 Current + Source 2 Current
INsecW1
1.732 X INsecW2
(in. per unit)
Case 2 or 3:
Source 1 Current + Source2 Current
1.5 X INsecW1
0.866 X INsecW2
(in. per unit)

Steps 23-27 are a simulation of a close-in external
fault followed by an internal fault which maps onto
the IDIFF = IREST line in Figure 25. Since the internal
fault maps to this line, Address 1617 (discussed
below) is bypassed. Extra delay of 87 tripping is
added because the through-fault restraint picked up
before the fault. This extra delay of about 2 cycles
should be present in step 27. Subtract the tripping
times of 87 in Step 11 from the time in Step 27. The
result should equal 33.3 ms +/- 17 ms. The tripping
timespread of 87 and contact in Step 11 must be
considered, though the spread should be tight
because of the substantial fault current.
Contact and target operation for Step 11 should be
the same as for any 87 tripping: all trip contacts
should close, Signal Relays 1 and 2 should operate,
and LEDs 1 and 2 should light. The LCD should
display 87 Diff GenFlt and 87DiffGenTrip.
For Step 16, no contacts should operate, but the
LCD should display 87Diff GenFlt. LED 4 should
latch on when the through-fault restraint is pickedup.
The steps leading to Step 27 must be done quickly;
therefore, contact operation should not be checked.
At Step 27, the LEDs and LCD should be consistent
with Step 11, except LED 4 should be lit in addition.

Through-Fault Restraint Area Slope and

Maximum Duration of Through-Fault CTSaturation Restraint: Address 1617
Testing the slope associated with the through-fault
restraint area (Figure 25) is not recommended.
Such a test would likely result in the current
limitations of the 7UT51 being exceeded because of
the time that would be needed to find the slope line
of the area, by varying current phase angle, while
high currents would be applied.
Manual testing of the maximum duration of throughfault restraint is very complicated; therefore, a test
for Address 1617 is not included. The feature can
be tested with automated-test equipment. A
description of one possible automated-test is given
in the next paragraph for users wishing to test
Address 1617.
Program an LED, with memory, for events 5651,
5652, and 5653. The LED will indicate pickup of the
through-fault restraint. Program a trip relay for 5691,
87 tripping. Connect the 7UT51 as in test 17. Set
up a fault which maps above either Slope 1 or Slope
2, but not within [85% to 100%] of the IDIFF = IREST
line or above 87HS pickup. The fault currents
should be within the continuous current rating of the
7UT51. Set a timer to start on the application of the
fault, and stop on the closure of the trip contact.
Apply the fault, and record the tripping time of 87.
Repeat the fault a couple of times to obtain a range
of tripping times of 87 for the specific fault. Then,
set-up a two-stage fault event. For Stage 1,
simulate a through-fault that maps into the throughfault restraint area. Set the currents for about 120%
of the minimum values needed to enter the throughfault restraint area (120% of the results from Test
17). This ensures the through-fault restraint will pick
up. The duration of Stage 1 should be 2 cycles or
more. The only concern for the Stage 1 duration is
the current limits of the 7UT51. Stage 2 is the
aforementioned fault. Set the timer to start at the
beginning of stage 2, and stop when the trip contact
closes. The duration of Stage 2 should be Address
1617 plus 10 cycles. Apply the event. Be sure the
LED lights. Record the tripping time of 87.
Address 1617 is the setting of a timer that is armed
when the through-fault restraint picks up. The timer
begins to expire when the differential operating point
leaves the through-fault restraint area. Tripping of
87 is inhibited until the timer expires.
The tripping time of 87, determined before the twostage event, must be subtracted from the tripping
time recorded during the event, to obtain the tested
50

value for Address 1617. The accuracy of Address
1617 is +/- 1.02 cycles (timer accuracy included).
The pickup timespread of 87 must be considered.

is controlled by a discrete input(s), the tests above
can be used, with the input in the opposite state, to
verify the control is functioning. Also, if multiple sets
of protection settings are used, and Address 1601 is
Off or Block Tripping in any of these sets, the tests
above can be used to verify proper operation of the
differential protection.
Most of the events in a 7UT51 pertaining to the
differential protection are associated with 87 and
87HS. The check of the control of 87 and 87HS can
be done with one test, in which enough current is
injected to pickup both 87 and 87HS. Steps 1-8 of
Test 6, with 87 tripping enabled (Address 1625 not
equal to infinity) and the timer eliminated (times are
not important in checking the basic control of the
inputs), would be sufficient. Alternatively, the user
could use other tests above, or new tests, to check
the control.
A smaller number of the events pertaining to the
differential protection involve harmonic restraint and
the through-fault restraint area. Variations of the
above tests, or new tests, can be run to check the
control.
Expected Results:
Address 1601 = Off and an input causing the
coming of Event 5603 >87 Block Differential
Protection - before the differential protection has
operated should have similar effects. Either
should effectively render the differential protection
non-existent. Events associated with the differential
protection should be prevented from driving contacts
or LEDs. The LCD should not indicate any
differential operation.
With the exception of the six events associated with
harmonic and through-fault restraint, the differential
events should not be affected by Event 5603 if the
latter occurs after the former is activated. For
example, if events associated with 87 are driving trip
contacts, signal contacts, and LEDs, and then Event
5603 is applied, the contacts and LEDs should
PRCM-1108A-0199
remain operated. Event 5603 should, in a sense, be

ignored.
The events associated with harmonic restraint are
events 5641-5643. Events 5651-5653 apply to
through-fault restraint. They are described below.
Event 5631 (also covered below) is usually active
when any of the restraint events are occurring. If
Event 5603 occurs after the restraint events and
Event 5631 is activated, the latter should be blocked
when the former occurs. Tripping should not then
result because the restraint should prevent tripping
before Event 5603, and Event 5603 should prevent
tripping thereafter.
If Event 5631 is active during 87 or 87HS tripping,
and then Event 5603 occurs, Event 5631 should
remain active. The event should only go away if the
differential protection is restrained before Event
5603 occurs.
If Event 5603 is applied first, and then a fault or
transformer inrush is simulated, the differential
features should be blocked as mentioned. However,
if Event 5603 is removed while the fault or inrush is
still present, the differential protection should then
operate as normal. In other words, all of the events
associated with the differential protection should be
free to operate trip relays, signal relays, and LEDs.
If tripping results before Event 5603 occurs, or if
Event 5603 is released and then tripping occurs, the
LCD should display 87Diff GenFlt and
87DiffGenTrip.
Address 1601 = Block Tripping and Event 5605 >87
Blk Differential Prot Trip Signal if applied
before a differential operation should have similar
effects. Either should prevent events 5671-5674,
5691, and 5692 (described below) from operating
trip relays. Also, Event 0511 General Trip of the
Relay should not occur from the differential
protection. However, events 5621, 5622, and 5631
(described below) should be capable of operating
trip contacts. All of the events below should be free
to operate signal relays or LEDs.

If any of the above events are active before Event

5605 occurs, they should continue to operate trip
contacts, signal contacts, and LEDs, after Event
5605. Event 5605 should essentially be ignored.
If (1) Event 5605 is first activated, (2) a fault or
restraint condition is applied, and then (3) Event
5605 is de-activated while Stage 2 is still applied,
events 5671-5674, 5691, and 5692 should remain
blocked from operating trip contacts. The events
should continue to operate signal relays and LEDs.
All other events above should be unaffected by
Event 5605.
The LCD should display 87Diff GenFlt when Event
5605 is applied before the fault. The same display
should result if Event 5605 is applied before the
fault, and is then de-activated while the fault is still
present. The LCD should be unchanged if Event
5605 occurs after the fault.

Notes about Testing 49-1 and 49-2

Testing of 49-1 and 49-2 may cause operations of
87, 87HS, 50/51, and 50HS. If this occurs,
Addresses 1601 and 2101 can be set to OFF to
disable the differential elements and backup
overcurrent elements. After testing 49-1 and 49-2,
these addresses must be reset to the desired
values.
Address 2406 is important for testing 49-1. If
Address 2406 = Average \T, this procedure requires
that a single current source be connected to inject
current in all three phases associated with the
winding or object. If Address 2406 = [Theta MAX]
or [\T @ Imax], then current injection into any one
phase is sufficient.
The same comments for Address 2406 apply to
Address 2506, which is associated with 49-2.
The same 7UT51 connections can be used for all of
the 49 tests. Figure 26 shows the connections for
the following example. Element 49-1 is protecting
Winding 1 using either the maximum calculated
temperature for each phase current (Address 2406 =
Theta MAX) or the calculated temperature based on
the highest phase current (Address 2406 = \T @
Imax). Element 49-2 is protecting Winding 2 using
the average of the calculated temperatures of the
phases.

3. Turn Off the current, note the LCD display, and

reset the targets.
Note: Address 2403 and 2503 are in minutes.
49-2 Current Warning:
The time for a 49 warning based on temperature rise

is calculated as such (no preload):
Follow steps 1-3 using Address 2505 in Step 1.

Expected Results:
The 49-1 current warning should occur within +/3% of [Address 2405 X INsecWx] or [Address 2405 X
IObjsec]. This applies for 49-2 also, using Address
2505.
The 49 warning should dropout at a current between
[95% and 99%] of the actual current at pickup.
For the default settings and the changes made,
LED 4 should light and the contact of Signal Relay 1
should close when the 49 current warning occurs.
At dropout, the LED should go out and the contact

For any group of 49 settings, the trip time decreases
as the test current increases. The maximum test
PRCM-1108A-0199
7UT51 v3
current for the tests below is 20 amps (4 amps for a
7UT51 rated for 1 amp). Using this current,
calculate 49 Ttrip now. Also estimate 49 Twarn.
5. Apply the current.
Testing the 49 elements with the desired, in-service

settings is strongly recommended. However, if
those settings would result in unpractical warning
and trip times, decrease Address 2403 or 2503. The
recommended minimum 49 warning time if setting
changes are made is about two minutes, giving a
trip time of [two-three] minutes. If the desired
settings result in warning times faster than two
minutes, do not change the settings.
7. Turn off the current after the alarm but before

the trip. If the trip occurs, there is no problem.
Turning Off the current before the trip saves
time in reading the LCD.
6. Observe the LEDs and the Signal Relay 1

contact during the tests.

9. Record the LEDs and LCD, and reset.
10. Follow Step 1 if any other testing is done.
49-2 Temperature Warning
The 7UT51 continually calculates the temperature

rise of the winding or object. Therefore, prior testing
or loading of the 7UT51 will make the test results
below unpredictable unless the temperature rise is
forced to zero. Changing Address 2401 (2501) to
Off, waiting at least one minute, and then resetting
Address 2401 (2501) to the desired setting
accomplish this.
Note: These steps must be done before, and
between, all tests for 49 warning times and
49 trip times.

Follow steps 1-10 for 49-1, except use Address

2501 in steps 1 and 4, Address 2502 in Step 2, and
49-2 Twarn in Step 2.
Expected Results
The warning alarm should occur within the larger of
+/- 12% or +/- 2 seconds of the calculated 49 Twarn.
With the default settings and the changes made,
LED 4 should light and the contact of Signal Relay 1
should close several seconds after the application of
current (the actual time is not important). When the
temperature warning occurs, LED 3 and Signal
Relay 2 should operate. If 49 does not trip, no other
target or contact operations should occur. The LCD
should show 49 O/L1 PU or 49 O/L2 PU . LED
3 and Signal Relay 2 should not reset immediately
after the current is Off. The 7UT51 will calculate the
temperature as still being above the alarm point,
until a cool-down period occurs.
49-1 Temperature Warning:

1. Set Address 2401 = Off. Wait at least one
minute with this setting. Set up the test during
the wait.
2. Any Source 1 current magnitude between {[1.2
X Address 2402 X INsecWx] or [1.2 X Address
2402 X IObjsec]} and 20 amps (4 amps) can be
used. The alarm time decreases as the current
increases. The following is recommended. If
49-1Twarn < 2 minutes for a current of 20 amps (4
amps), lower the current to get a warning time of
about 2 minutes. Otherwise, use a current
magnitude of 20 amps (4 amps).

is recommended. If 49-1 Ttrip < two minutes for

Expected Results
The trip time should occur within the larger of +/12% or +/- 2 seconds of the calculated 49-1 Ttrip
or 49-2 Ttrip.
After several seconds of the current application (the
actual time is not important), LED 4 should light and
the contact of Signal Relay 1 should close. The
warning should occur at about the same time as in
test 20 if the same test current is used. LED 3 and
Signal Relay 2 should operate. At tripping, with the
default settings and the changes made, all of the trip
contacts should close, contacts of Signal Relays 1,
2, 6 and 7 should be toggled, and LEDs 1, 2, 3, 4,
and 9 (49-1) or 10 (49-2) should be lit. When the
current is turned Off, the contact of Signal Relay 1
should open and LED 4 should go out. After some
time perhaps minutes the trip contacts should
open, Signal Relay 6 should reset, and LED 2
should go out (the 7UT51 is still calculating
temperature with the current off). Later, LED 3
should go out and Signal Relays 2 and 7 should
reset. The other LEDs have memory. The LCD
should display 49 O/L1 PU and 49 O/L1 TRIP, or
49 O/L2 PU and 49 O/L2 TRIP, after LED 2 goes
out (49 trip resets).

practical. This will save time in reading the LCD.
9. Record the LEDs. Wait for the LCD and record.
Reset.
10. Follow Step 1 if any other testing is done.
49-2 Tripping
Follow steps 1-10 for 49-1 tripping except use
Address 2501 in steps 1 and 4, Address 2502 in
Step 2, and 49-2 Ttrip in Step 2.
If the operational status of a 49 element is controlled

by a discrete input(s), Test 21 can be done twice,
with the input state changed between the two tests,
to verify the control is functioning. Also, if multiple
sets of protection settings are used, and in any of
those sets Address 2401 or Address 2501 has a
setting other than one that has already been tested,
Test 21 can done to verify proper operation of the 49
elements.
For this Test 22, ignore the conditional statements at
the beginning of test 21 concerning Addresses 2401
and 2501. Test 21 is the most comprehensive test
in this section; therefore, the test is the best one to
perform to check status control.
Expected Results:
coming of Event 1553 >49-BLOCK thermal O/L
Protection 1 should have similar effects. Either
should effectively render 49-1 non-existent.
56
PRCM-1108A-0199
7UT51 v3
If Event 1553 is initially blocking 49-1, and then the
input state is changed while current is still present
above [Address 2402 X INsecWx (or IObjsec)], 49-1
should begin to time-out at the instant of the input
transition. The element should trip if the current is
present long enough, but the trip time may not be
within the specifications given for Test 21. The trip
time from input transition may be longer than the
specification.
If Event 1553 occurs while 49-1 is timing out, but not
tripped, the element should be immediately blocked
at the event occurrence. Any LEDs or signal relays
that operate before the event should immediately
reset when the event occurs. The coming of Event
1553 after a 49-1 trip should do nothing initially. The
7UT51 should remain in a trip state until 49-1
tripping drops out. Then the event should cause the
immediate going of Event 1566 (thermal warning
LED 3). Without Event 1553, Event 1566 would stay
active for a long time until the calculated
temperature fell below 99% of the thermal alarm
pickup value.
coming of Event 1603 >49-BLOCK thermal O/L
protection 2 should have similar effects. Either
should effectively render 49-2 non-existent. The
action described in the two paragraphs immediately
above should apply for Event 1603 and 49-2.
Address 2401 = Block Tripping and an input
causing the coming of Event 1555 >49-BLOCK trip
of thermal O/L prot 1, before a 49-1 trip, should
have similar effects. Either should prevent Event
1571 from operating trip relays. All of the 49-1
events (including Event 1571) should be uninhibited
in operating LEDs and Signal Relays. The LCD
should show 49 O/L1 PU after the going of Event
1571 (LED 2).
If Event 1555 blocks 49-1 tripping, and then the
input changes to cause the going of Event 1555
while the calculated temperature is still above the
trip threshold (LED 2 is lit), the trip relays should
remain blocked. The LCD should display 49 O/L1
PU after LED 2 goes out.
Applying Event 1555 while 49-1 is timing out, but not
tripped, should have the same effect as applying the
event before 49-1 begins to time out.
The LCD should read 49 O/L1 PU and 49 O/L1

TRIP.
Address 2501 = Block Tripping and an input causing
the coming of Event 1605 >49-BLOCK trip of
thermal O/L prot.2, before a 49-2 trip, should have
similar effects. Either should prevent Event 1621
from operating trip relays. All of the 49-2 events
(including Event 1621) should be uninhibited in
operating LEDs and signal relays. The LCD should
show 49 O/L2 PU after the going of Event 1621
(LED 2). The action described in the three
paragraphs immediately above should apply for
events 1605 and 49-2.
Address 2401 = Alarm Only and an input causing
the coming of Event 1554 >49-Event only from
thermal O/L prot. 1, before a 49-1 trip, should have
from operating trip relays, signal relays, or LEDs. All
other events associated with 49-1 should be free to
operate LEDs and signal relays.
If Event 1554 prevents Event 1571 from operating,
and then the input for Event 1554 is changed while
the calculated temperature is above the trip
threshold (as indicated by Event 1567 49-Therm
O/L prot.1: Pickup), Event 1571 should still remain
blocked from operating trip contacts, signal contacts,
and LEDs.
Applying Event 1554 while 49-1 is timing out, but not
tripped, should have the same effect as applying the
event before 49-1 begins to time out.
Applying Event 1554 after 49-1 has tripped should
do nothing. The 7UT51 should remain in a tripped
state.
Address 2501 = Alarm Only and an input causing
the coming of Event 1604 >49-Event only from
thermal O/L prot. 2, before a 49-2 trip, should have
from operating trip relays, signal relays, or LEDs. All
other events associated with 49-2 should be free to
operate LEDs and signal relays. The action
described in the three paragraphs immediately
above should apply for Event 1604 and 49-2. (Event
1617 49-Therm O/L prot.2: Pickup indicates the
temperature is above the trip threshold.)
Applying Event 1555 after 49-1 has tripped should

do nothing. The 7UT51 should remain in a trip state.

Test 23. External Trips, Function Test

and Trip-Time Delay: Addresses 3002 (Trip 1)
and 3102 (Trip 2)
Perform this test for External Trip Function 1 only if

Address 3001 = On and an input is programmed for
Event 4526 >External Trip 1.
Address 3101 = On and an input is programmed for
Event 4546 >External Trip 2.
Connect the 7UT51 as shown in Figure 27. Start
with the sensor monitoring the contact of Trip
Relay 1. The timer is turned on later in the test.
External Trip Function 1:
1. Program Discrete Input 1 for Event 4526
>External Trip 1 act.HI. The event can be set
for act.LO as well. Event 4537 External Trip 1:
General TRIP.
2. If Address 3002 is not 0.00 seconds, program
Trip Relay 2 for Event 4536 External Trip 1:
General Fault Detect. Otherwise, disregard
this step.
3. Monitor a contact of Trip Relay 1 with an
ohmmeter or sensor.
4. Apply (or remove) DC voltage to Input 1 to
activate Event 4526.
5. Note the response of the trip contacts, signal
contacts, and LEDs.
External Trip Function 2:

Follow steps 1-14 for External Trip Function 1,
except use:
Event 4546 >External trip 2 act.HI in steps 1
and 5.
Event 4557 External trip 2: General TRIP in
Step 2.
Event 4556 External trip 2: General Fault
Detect in Step 3.
Address 3102 in steps 3 and 9.
Expected Results:
The optional programming is assumed below.
The result of Step 5 should be the operation of Trip
Relay 1 (and 2 if programmed), signal relays 1-3,
and LEDs 1-4. LED 1 should light because of the
default setting, Event 0511 General trip of the
relay. Depending on Address 3002 (3102), the
delay between the input and tripping may be
noticeable. When the input is changed in Step 7,
the contacts and LEDs should reset, except for
LED 1, which has memory. The LCD should read
Ext1 Gen.Flt and Ext1 Gen.TRIP or Ext2 Gen.Flt
and Ext2 Gen.Trip.
The value from the timer in Step 12 is the direct,
tested value of Address 3002 or Address 3102. The
tested value should be within the larger of +/- 3% or
+/- 13 ms of Address 3002 or Address 3102. The
timer should not stop if the address being tested has
a value of infinite seconds (+*).
6. Remove (or apply) the DC from Input 1.

7. Note the response of the trip contacts, signal
contacts, LEDs, and LCD.
8. If Address 3002 = 0.00 seconds, reset the
targets, and end the test. Otherwise, continue.
9. Turn on the timer. Set the timer to start on the
closure of the contact of Trip Relay 2, and stop
on the closure of the contact of Trip Relay 1.
10. Apply (or remove) DC voltage to Input 1.
12. Remove (or apply) DC voltage from Input 1.
13. Reset LEDs and LCD.
PRCM-1108A-0199
The effects of Address 3002 and Address 3102 can

be seen using the Network Disturbances option in
the WinDIGSI software. Obtain dialog with the
7UT51. Click on Annunciation, then
Annunciations Edit. Select Network
Disturbances, and Display. Display an event
associated with the testing. Subtract the time for
Event 4536 (4556) from the time for Event 4537
(4557) to get the delay caused by Address 3002
(3102).
The same contacts and LEDs that operate in step 5
should operate in Step 11. The LCD in Step 13
should be the same as well. The only exception is if
Address 3002 or Address 3102 equals infinite
seconds. In this case, Trip Relay 1, Signal Relay 1,
and LEDs 1 and 2 should not operate. The LCD
should read Ext1 Gen.Flt or Ext2 Gen.Flt.

Test 24. Status Control of External Trips:

Discrete Inputs, Address 3001 (Trip 1)
and Address 3101 (Trip 2)
If the operational status of either External Trip

function can be controlled by a discrete input, Test
23 can be done twice, with the input state changed
between tests, to verify the control is functioning.
Also, if multiple sets of protection settings are used,
and Address 3001 or Address 3101 is Off or Block
Tripping in any of these sets, Test 23 can be done
with these settings to verify proper operation of the
External Trip functions. (Disregard the conditional
statements given at the beginning of Test 23.)
Expected Results:
coming of Event 4523 >BLOCK External Trip 1
should have similar effects. Either should effectively
make External Trip Function 1 non-existent. Event
4526 (which provides the status of the input
programmed to the event) should be free to operate
LEDs or signal relays, but the LCD should not show
any indication of External Trip Function 1
operations (default settings).
If Event 4523 is blocking External Trip Function 1,
and then the event is released while the External
Trip is still applied, all events associated with
External Trip Function 1 should be free to operate
trip relays, signal relays, and LEDs. The LCD
should show Ext1 GenFlt and Ext1 Gen.TRIP.

causing the coming of Event 4525 >BLOCK trip
signal of External Trip 1, applied before an
External Trip Function 1 trip occurs, should have
similar effects. Either should block Event 4537 from
operating trip relays. Event 4536 should be free to
operate trip relays, and all events of External Trip
Function 1 (including Event 4537) should be
uninhibited in operating signal relays and LEDs.
The LCD should read Ext1 Gen.Flt after the input
for External Trip Function 1 is removed.
If Event 4525 is blocking Event 4537, and then
Event 4525 is removed while the input for External
Trip Function 1 is still applied, Event 4537 should
remain blocked from operating trip contacts. The
LCD should show Ext1 Gen.Flt.
Applying Event 4525 after External Trip Function 1
has tripped should do nothing. The event should be
ignored.
causing the coming of Event 4545 >BLOCK trip
signal of External Trip 2, applied before an
External Trip Function 2 trip occurs, should have
similar effects. Either should block Event 4557 from
operating trip relays. Event 4556 should be free to
operate trip relays, and all events of External Trip
Function 2 (including Event 4557) should be
uninhibited in operating signal relays and LEDs.
The LCD should read Ext2 Gen.Flt after the input
for External Trip Function 2 is removed. The two
paragraphs immediately above should also apply to
Event 4545 and External Trip Function 2.
Applying Event 4523 after External Trip Function 1

has tripped should do nothing. The event should be
essentially ignored. The 7UT51 should remain in a
tripped state.
coming of Event 4543 >BLOCK External Trip 2
should have similar effects. Either should effectively
make External Trip Function 2 non-existent. Event
4546 (which provides the status of the input
programmed to the event) should be free to operate
LEDs or signal relays, but the LCD should not show
any indication of External Trip Function 2
operations. The two paragraphs immediately above
should also apply to Event 4543 and External Trip
Function 2.

2. Program Discrete Input 1 for Event 4526
>External trip 1 act.HI. The event can be set
for act.LO if desired.
3. Program Trip Relay 1 for Event 4537 External
trip 1: General TRIP.
4. Program Trip Relay 2 for Event 4536 External
trip 1: General fault detect.
5. Set Address 3002 either much greater than, or
much less than, Address 3003. The reason for
this step is trip delay times may be measured in
this test along with the targeted trip dropout
times. This depends on the timer being used.
With the addresses set very differently,
measurements of the dropout time should not be
confused with those of the trip time, should
several trials be run.
6. Set the timer to start when the contact of Trip
Relay 2 opens, and stop when the contact of
Trip Relay 1 opens.
7. Apply (or remove) DC voltage to Input 1 until
Trip Relay 1 operates.
Follow steps 1-11 for External Trip Function 1,

except use:
Event 4546 >External trip 2 act.HI in Step 1.
Event 4556 External Trip 2: General Fault Detect

in Step 3.
Expected Results
The value from the timer in step 9 is the direct,
tested value for Address 3003 or Address 3103.
The tested value should be within the larger of +/3% or +/- 13 ms of Address 3003 or Address 3103.
Operations of the contacts and targets should be
consistent with test 23.
Reset 7UT51 for Desired Settings
Program Trip Relay 1 and 2, Signal Relays 1, 2, and
3, LEDs 2, 3, and 4, and Discrete Input 1 for the
desired settings. Reset any other addresses
changed during testing to the original settings.
Test 26. Verification of Other Discrete Input

Functions
If any of the discrete input events 0003 though 0393,
excluding Event 0356, is being used, the function
should be verified at this time. Apply (or remove)
DC voltage to the input(s) and observe the results.
The other discrete input functions of interest have
been, or will be, checked elsewhere in the
procedure.
8. Reset the timer if necessary, disregarding any

reading.
9. Remove (or apply) the DC from Input 1.
11. Set Address 3002 for the original setting.
12. Reset targets.

Time Overcurrent Backup Protection
50/51 and 50HS
Overcurrent protection is existent and operational
when settings other than Disabled and Off are
selected for Addresses 7821 and 2101, respectively.
Notes about Testing Overcurrent Protection
The overcurrent backup protection consists of two
elements: 50/51 and 50HS. The 50/51 element can
be either a 50 or a 51. Both 50 and 50HS can have
no intentional delay, a definite time trip delay, or an
infinite delay (trip defeated). The 51 can have
various inverse time characteristics with selectable
time dials, or an infinite delay.

The characteristic (either 50 or 51) of 50/51 is

selected in Address 2111. The pickup current and
time delay for each characteristic are selected with
different addresses. While the pickup and delay
settings for the inactive characteristic appear in
WINDIGSI, they should be ignored. Only the
settings for the active characteristic are used by the
7UT51. For example, if 51 is selected, pickup and
time delay settings for 50 to appear. These settings
should be ignored.
The setting for Address 7821 determines the
winding or object that 50/51 and 50HS monitor.
Note: The addresses associated with the pickup
currents of 50/51 and 50HS are multiples of
the rated current of the winding or monitored
object: INsecWx or IObjsec.
Without setting modifications, 87 operations are
likely to occur during testing of 50/51 and 50HS,
unless the overcurrent elements are protecting a
virtual object. Operations of a 49 element could
occur as well. To prevent unwanted operations of
87 or 49, change addresses 1601, 2401 (49-1) and
2501 (49-2) to Off while testing the overcurrent
elements. Reset the addresses to the original
settings after the testing is complete.

Connect the current source to one phase of the
winding being monitored by 50/51, as indicated in
Figure 28.
The LEDs and contacts may not be programmed to
operate for only the pickup of 50/51. This is true for
the default programming. There are several
programming options to obtain indication of just the
pickup of 50/51. To minimize reprogramming, the
recommendation is to set one LED for Event 2422
nm only (nm is needed to test dropout), and test by
visual indication of the LED. The procedure is
written for this recommendation. If contact operation
is desired, a signal contact can be programmed for
Event 2422. A trip contact can be programmed for
Event 2411, but 50/51 must have a lower pickup
current than 50HS.
1. Program LED 4 for only Event nm 2422 BU
50/51 Phase O/C fault det.
2. Slowly increase the current from 0 A until LED 4
lights. Record the pickup current.
3. Slowly reduce the current until the LED 4 light
extinguishes. Record the current at dropout.
Also note LCD indications. Turn Off the current.
4. Re-program LED 4 for the desired setting.
PRCM-1108A-0199
7UT51 v3
Expected Results:
The pickup current at LED 4 illumination should be
within +/- 10% of:
[Address 2112] X [INsecWx or IObjsec] if Address
2111 is Definite Time
[Address 2114] X [INsecWx or IObjsec] if Address
2111 is an inverse option.
The dropout current when LED 4 turns off should be
greater than or equal to 93% of the tested pickup
current.
For the default settings and recommended change,
only LED 4 should light if 51 is being tested. The
LCD should show Back Gen. Flt when 51 drops out.
Depending on the time delay for 50, LEDs and
contacts programmed for 50 tripping may transition
during the test. If a trip occurs, the second line of
the LCD should indicate BU Gen.Trip.

A current greater than or equal to twice the
pickup current is highly recommended. (The
current must be greater than 110% of the pickup
current.) Be careful to set the current so that
only 51 trips. If 50HS will operate, the pickup
current (Address 2103) can temporarily be set
higher, or the 50HS time delay (Address 2104)
can be temporarily set to +* (infinite).

Test 31. Status Control of 50/51:

Discrete Inputs Or Address 2101
If the operational status of 50/51 is controlled by a
discrete input(s), tests 28 or 29 can be repeated with
the input in the opposite state, to verify the control is
functioning. Also, if multiple sets of protection
settings are used, and Address 2101 is Off or Block
Tripping in any of these sets,tests 28 or 29 can be
repeated with these settings to verify proper
operation of 50/51.
If 50 is operational but Test 29 was not performed,
use Test 29 to check Address 2101 settings of Off
or Block Tripping. If 50 is controlled by an input,
perform Test 29 twice once with the control
applied, and once without the control.
Expected Results:

no effect. The 7UT51 should remain tripped with all
LEDs and contacts reflecting 50/51 tripping. If the

and provide LEDs and outputs in the normal fashion.
the coming of Event 2304 >Block trip signal of
backup O/C, applied before a 50/51 trip, should
have similar effects. Either should prevent trip
contacts from operating for all 50/51 events except

should be free to operate signal relays or LEDs.

Event 2413 BU O/C : Fault detection PhB (if

If 50/51 is first tripped, and then Event 2307 is

activated, no change should occur. The 7UT51
should remain in a trip state with contacts and
targets reflecting the 50/51 trip. Event 2307 should
be essentially ignored. If Event 2307 is preventing
the timeout of 50/51, and then the event is
deactivated, 50/51 should trip. Trip contacts, signal
contacts, and LEDs programmed for Event 2442,
2451, or a general trip of the 7UT51 should operate.
The LCD (default settings) should show Back Gen.

pickup current is greater than 20 amps (4 amps),
the test for a precise pickup is foregone. A test
current of 1.2 X 50HS pickup is used for verification
of a modified 50HS pickup, in tests 34 and 35.
If 50/51 has a lower pickup current than 50HS, then
the 50/51 pickup must be raised well above the
50HS pickup for Test 34 (timing test of 50HS). This
setting change simplifies the other 50HS tests as
well. Therefore, at this point, raise the 50/51 pickup
well above the 50HS pickup. A 50/51 pickup above
20 amps should be selected.

Pickup of 50HS can be determined by monitoring
any LED or contact programmed for Event 2451

general procedure given below, LED 4 is
programmed to operate only for Event 2421 nm (nm

This test requires 50HS to be solidly picked up for a
time greater than Address 2104. To simplify the
procedure and alleviate concerns about thermal
damage to the 7UT51, a setting change of Address
2103 (50HS pickup) may be required.
Option 1 does require a stand-alone timer that is
2104 = +* (infinite) seconds, Option 2 should be

current injected into one phase of the winding being
monitored by 50HS.

Expected Results:
When Event 0356 is active and current exceeds the
pickup of 50HS, the element should trip without
delay, other than inherent delay. Once tripped,
50HS should reset only after the current decreases
below the element dropout level. A change in state
of the discrete input causing Event 0356 should not
PRCM-1108A-0199
drop out 50HS if current above the element pickup is

present. This tripping and resetting action should be
true even if 50HS time delay is infinite seconds.
The inherent delay of 50HS is about 35 ms at 1.2
times pickup.
For Option 1, the timer may read from 0 ms to about
3 ms because of the difference in operating times of
the trip contacts, and the accuracy of the timer.
For Option 2, the state of the discrete input should
not effect 50HS tripping times when Address 2113 =
0.00 seconds.
LED, LCD, and contact operations should be the
same as in Test 34, unless the tripping delay of
50HS is infinite seconds.

contact is recommended because 64T is then
verified from input to important outputs. The time
delay of 64T tripping Address 2725 must be
accommodated as the current is ramped up to test
pickup. Likewise, the dropout delay Address 2727
must be considered as the current is decreased to
check dropout. If either of these delays is

Notes about Testing 87N

The ground CT associated with 87N must be
determined before testing can start. Refer to
Address 7819 to ascertain the winding or object
being protected by 87N. Match this address to
either Address 7806 (CT A) or Address 7807 (CT B).
The currents in the tests below must be loaded into
the 7UT513 terminals that correspond to the
applicable CT for 87N.
The pickup of 87N is specified as a multiple of the
rated current of the protected winding or object. Do
not use INsecWx and IObjsec for the rated current.
Instead, use INRGFWx or IOBJRGF , which apply to
restricted ground fault protection only.
INRGFWx =
[87N Phase CT Primary Rating] X INsecWx
87N Ground CT Primary Rating
87N Phase CT Primary Rating is:

Address 1104 for Winding 1
87N Ground CT Primary Rating is:
IOBJRGF = Address 1402 X IObjsec
Address 1401
Testing 87N may cause operations of 87, 49-1, or

49-2. If this occurs, Addresses 1601 (87), 2401 (491), and 2501 (49-2) can be set to Off to disable the
elements. After testing 87N, these addresses must
be reset to the desired values.
Programming for Trip Relay 1 All 87N Tests
Program Trip Relay 1 to include Event 5821

test. Use the contact monitor. The timer is needed
in the next test.
A trip contact is monitored in the steps below while
87N pickup and dropout are tested. Monitoring a trip
contact is recommended because 87N is then
verified from input to important outputs. The time
delay of 87N tripping Address1925 must be
accommodated as the current is ramped up to test
pickup. Likewise, the dropout delay Address 1927
must be considered as the current is decreased to
check dropout. If either of these delays is
excessive, the test can be easily adapted. Pickup
and dropout of 87N could be tested with visual
inspection of an LED programmed for Event nm
5816 Restricted gnd fault: Pickup. Addresses
1925 and 1927 would not effect the LED. The LED
would have to be reprogrammed to the original
setting after the test was completed.

Use Figure 40 to connect the 7UT51. For clarity, the
figure is drawn as if 87N is protecting Winding 2, and
CT A is associated with 87N. Adapt the connections
as necessary. The important points in Figure 40 are
the polarity of I1 connects to the polarity of the
7UT513 current input for the 87N Ground CT
(terminal 2D1 in the figure). The non-polarity
terminal of the 87N Ground CT current input
connects to the polarity of the 7UT513 current input
for 87N Phase CT (Terminal 2D2 to 2B1 in the
figure). Finally, the non-polarity terminal of the 87N
Phase CT current input (Terminal 2B2 in the figure)
connects to the non-polarity terminal of the source 1
current. These connections simulate an internal
fault. The Source 2 current (120 Hz) connects to a
different phase of the winding associated with 87N
because of 7UT513 current limitations.
1. Set Address 1911 = 10%.
2. Set the 60 Hz Source 1 current for about [0.4 X
INRGFWx X Address 1912] or [0.4 X IOBJRGF X
Address 1912]. (Since the current is injected in
the ground input and the phase input both in a
81
7UT51 v3
positive direction the test current is doubled in
forming the differential current.)
3. Be sure current Source 2 is connected to a
different phase than current Source 1.
4. Set the Source 2 current frequency for 120 Hz.
5. Set the Source 2 current magnitude equal to 18
amps.
87N trips. For [90 -90], 87N restrains

because the cosine term is negative or zero. For an
internal fault, both 3I0* and 3I0** flow into the
transformer; therefore, is 0 or nearly so. The
torque is a maximum positive. For an external fault,
3I0** is in a reverse direction, and is in the
neighborhood of 180. The torque is a maximum
negative (or restraint).

7. Verify that 87N does not trip.
8. Slowly increase the 60 Hz Source 1 current until
87N trips.
9. Turn Off both currents and reset the LEDs and
LCD.
10. Reset Address 1911 to the original value.
Expected Results:
Option 1:
The 60 Hz Source 1 current at which 87N trips in
Step 7 should be within +/- 5% of [INRGFWx X
Address 1912] or [IOBJRGF X Address 1912].
For testing purposes (and most purposes because

of phase-angle symmetry), the region of [0
180] is of interest.
The 7UT513 employs a different algorithm that
extends the trip area beyond 90 when Address
1904 > 90. When Address 1904 = 90, 87N has the
same operating characteristic as the classical 87N.
The 7UT513 recognizes a fault condition internal
or external when the restraint current or differential
current exceed certain thresholds.
IRESTRGF = Ia + Ib + Ic + 3I0*
(Ia, Ib, and Ic are the phase currents for 87N)

same as in Test 42 when 87N trips.
IDIFFRGF = 3I0* + 3I0** (vector sum)
Option 2:
Once a fault is detected, further analysis is done to

determine if a trip should be issued.
The 60 Hz Source 1 current at which 87N trips in

step 8 should be within +/- 5% of [0.5 X INRGFWx X
Address 1912] or [0.5 X IOBJRGF X Address 1912].
The 87N algorithm calculates a stabilization

current,

same as in Test 42 when 87N trips.
Notes about Testing the Extended Tripping Area
of 87N - Critical Angle for Restraint
In classical, overcurrent, restricted ground fault
protection schemes, 87N trips if the torque in the
equation below is positive. The 87N restrains when
the torque is negative.
Torque = 3I0* X 3I0** X cos
In this equation, 3I0* is the current from the

transformer ground CT, 3I0** is three times the zero
sequence current from the transformer phase CTs
(the vector sum of the three phase currents), and
is the angle between the two currents. By
convention, the reference for the currents is a
direction towards (or into) the transformer.
The cosine term defines the trip and restraint areas.
For [-90 < < 90], the cosine term is positive, and
82
ISTAB = 3I0* 3I0** 3I0* + 3I0**
If ISTAB is negative or zero, a trip is issued if

inequality (1) is satisfied:
3I0* [Address 1903 X INRGFWx] or
[Address 1903 X IOBJRGF] (1)
The stabilizing current is negative or zero when 3I0*

= 0 amp, 3I0** = 0 amp, or [0 90]. The last
condition is a clear indication of an internal fault, and
a trip is issued if the minimum pickup of 87N
(Address 1903) is exceeded by 3I0*. The condition
of 3I0** = 0 amp is simulated in Test 42. The
condition of = 0 is checked in Test 47. Notice
87N of the 7UT513 responds like the classical 87N
when [0 90].
If ISTAB is positive, another inequality is used in the
trip decision. If inequality (2) is satisfied, a trip is
given:
PRCM-1108A-0199
7UT51 v3
3I0* [k X ISTAB] [Address 1903 X INRGFWx] or
[Address 1903 X IOBJRGF] (2)
Where k is a stabilization factor corresponding to

Address 1904. The factor is discussed later.
The stabilizing current is positive when [90 <
180]. Angles close to 180 when 3I0* 3I0**
clearly indicate an external fault. However, angles
near 90 could result from an internal fault with CT
saturation distorting the current angle. This is
especially true if 3I0* is significantly greater than
3I0**. The effect of the operating quantity {3I0*
[k X ISTAB]} is to extend the trip area beyond 90.
The amount of the extension depends on k (which
depends on Address 1904) and the ratio [3I0* /
3I0**]. The extended trip area increases as the ratio
increases.
For more information, please refer to A New

Approach for Transformer Ground Differential
Protection, by Dr. Tevfik Sezi, Siemens Power
Transmission and Distribution, Raleigh, North
Carolina. For Test 48, the ratio [3I0* / 3I0**] = 1 is of
interest. The value of k depends on Address 1904.
With 3I0* = 3I0**:
ISTAB = 2 X 3I0* X {sin ( /2) cos (/2)}
Inequality (2) becomes

3I0* X {1 [2 X k X (sin /2 cos /2)]} [Address
1903 X INRGFWx or IOBJRGF]
If 3I0* = 2 X [Address 1903 X INRGFWx or IOBJRGF], the
inequality can be expressed:
sin (/2)cos (/2) (0.25 / k) (3)
If 3I0* = 3 X [Address 1903 X INRGFWx or IOBJRGF], the
inequality can be expressed:
sin (/2)cos (/2) (0.333 / k) (4)
Tables 11 and 12 give the maximum , accurate to

within +/- 0.1, at which inequalities (3) and (4) are
satisfied, for different settings of Address 1904. The
values of k are those used by the 7UT513 for the
Address1904 selected.

In Test 48, two current sources are set up to

simulate an external fault. The current source for
3I0** is set 180 out of phase with the current source
for 3I0* to simulate the external fault. To allow
inequality (3) to be used, 3I0* = 3I0** = [2 X
Address 1903 X INRGFWx] or [2 X Address 1903 X
IOBJRGF]. If preferred, the multiple of 3 can be used
instead, or in addition, to allow inequality (4) to be
used. After the security of 87N for an external fault
is checked, the magnitudes of 3I0* and 3I0** are
held constant as the angle of 3I0** is decreased until
a trip occurs. The angular difference between 3I0*
and 3I0** is compared to the expected values in
Table 11 or Table 12. This step checks the
extended trip area of the 7UT513 (Address 1904).

7. Press Yes.
25. Depending on the value of m in Step 1 and

Address 1904, refer to Tables 11 and 12 to
determine the expected maximum .
26. Slowly decrease the angle of Current-Source 2
(from 180 towards 0) until 87N trips. (The
angle of Current-Source 1 can be increased
instead, but changing Source 2 is easier
because is then the angle of Current-Source
2.)
8. The display should read 4181 Test RGF IPhA =

The tested value of maximum in Step 27 should
be within +/- 1.5 of the Maximum for 87N Trip,
corresponding to Address 1904 used in the test, in
the applicable Tables 11 and 12 above.
With the default settings, there should be no
operations of contacts or LEDs when the external
fault is simulated. As the angle is decreased, Event
5817 Restricted gnd fault:Gen fault detection
should operate well before 87N trips. This results
from the differential current exceeding the threshold
for fault detection. Event 5817 will only be
noticeable if the event is programmed to contacts or
LEDs. (The event is not included in the default
settings.) When 87N trips at maximum , contact,
LED, and LCD operations should be consistent with
Test 42.

Setting Verification after Electrical Testing
Although instructions are given throughout the
procedure to reset addresses or programming back
to the original, desired values after the tests, a
complete down-loading of all of the intended 7UT51
settings is recommended when the electrical tests
have finished. This will prevent unintended settings
when the 7UT51 is placed in-service. Alternatively,
a thorough check of the settings should be made
after the electrical tests have been completed and
before the 7UT51 is placed in-service.

Control Wire, CT, and Relay Installation

Primary Equipment Check

Prior to starting any of the control installation work,
all primary equipment should be installed, all
mounting of boxes, cabinets, etc. and all conduits in
place. All external control cable should be pulled.
Check nameplate of the transformer, terminal block
markings, phasing, etc., to ensure that the drawings
are in agreement.
Electrical Drawings Wire Check
Each piece of primary equipment should be wire
checked and compared against the electrical
drawings.
With the Siemens numerical differential relay, all CT

secondary circuits can be connected in wye;
however, the Siemens relay can be applied in
existing protection schemes having delta and wye
connected CTs. Ratio matching and phase shift to
the various power transformer and CT ratios and of
the phase displacement, according to the vector
group of the protected transformer displacement, are
compensated for numerically (see Matching Factor
in the Definition of Terms section).
The input currents are converted in relation to the
power transformer rated current. This is achieved by
entering the rated transformer data, such as rated
power, rated voltage, and rated primary current of
the CTs, into the protection unit.
Interposing Transformers
When the power rating of the windings differ strongly
from each other (more than the factor four),
interposing transformers are recommended. If an
interposing transformer set is used for one winding,
the transformation ratio of the interposing
transformer must be considered when entering the
setting for this winding. This is done by dividing the
actual primary CT rated current by the winding ratio
of the interposing transformer. The result is entered
in Address 1104 or using WinDIGSI, in the Setting
menu, Transformer Data section.
Once the vector group has been entered, the
protection unit is capable of performing the current
comparison according to fixed formulas.
Relay Installation
Review and check the elementary wiring, functional,

and one line diagrams. Verify that currents for all
power paths (both load and short circuit) and tripping
for each source are included.
CT Installation
As in any control installation, the wiring and control
diagrams and all applicable instruction manuals
must be thoroughly reviewed and understood before
any work begins. This is especially true for the
installation of a CT in a differential transformer
protection scheme. Power transformers may have
both a current magnitude and phase shift associated
with the operation.
Refer to the 7UT51 v3 Protective Relay Instruction

Manual for installation instructions. See Figures 42
and 43 for connection examples of the relay
installation with the following configurations:
Two Winding, Delta-Wye Transformer
Three Winding, Delta-Wye-Delta Transformer
Check ratio selection. Generally, the high side of the

CT is selected to match the full load rating of the
winding.

Commissioning Tests
Operational Checks
Operational checks are performed after wire
checking is complete.

If trip test switches are installed in the circuit, these

initial checks are performed with the trip test
switches in the Open position. If no trip test
switches are installed, disable/block the relay trip
output.

1. Energize the main DC power supply to the relay.

2. Check for proper DC polarity and magnitude for

each control circuit.

3. Reset all alarms and annunciators.

4. Verify that all relay and lockouts are reset.
5. Check that the matching k factor is correct.
Physical Inspection
Inspect all cables, junction boxes, circuit breakers,
etc., for proper wiring, shorting type terminal blocks
at proper locations, tight connections (screw heads
must be tight against wire). Check that shorting
screws are removed from CT blocks that will be in
service. Inspect boxes, switches, and relays for any
material such as wires, screws, lugs, or tags that
could short or ground the circuit. Visually wire-check
all current circuits.
Check auxiliary switches for connections, wipe, and
adjustment per manufacturer's instructions,
particularly the operating relation with respect to
main blade make and break.
After the acceptance tests have been completed and
the relay is installed with the permanent settings
applied and tested, the commissioning tests and
checks can be performed.
Installation Test Procedures
For test procedures, refer to the Acceptance Testing
section and perform only the tests required to check
the settings and control to be used in the specific
field application. Prior to installation, complete
testing of the discrete inputs, signal contacts, and
trip contacts is recommended. This will reduce the
operational checking of the transformer protection to
simply checking the CT connections, 7UT51 input
connections, and wiring of the output contacts.
PRCM-1108A-0199
Operate each relay contact to verify correct target,

lockout relay (86), and alarm. Reset after each trip.
Operate the differential function by passing current
through the circuit from each set of CTs. Check and
verify the other protective function targets.
Once the relay operations are verified, the major
equipment such as circuit breakers and air break
switches can be checked for proper operation. With
the 86 relay in the Trip position, close each test
blade separately. When the test blade is closed, its
corresponding piece of equipment will trip.
Once tripped, check and verify all interlocks for
correct operation.
After verifying all tripping from the lockout (86)
through the test blades, all external tripping of the 86
relay is performed.
An overall operational test should be performed to
give a final system check. No part of the control
scheme should be assumed correct. Test every
input, output and function to verify that it operates
independently and also in conjunction with the total
scheme.
Once all checks are complete, check for zero (0)
voltage across the relay trip test switches with a DC
voltmeter.

7UT51 v3
Energizing the Transformer
Measured Test Currents
When all control and current circuits have been

checked, verified, the transformer is ready to be
energized.
Read the relay measurement of currents and phase

angles through test Address 4101.
Prior to energizing the transformer, all relay

protection is placed in service. All secondary test
sets and equipment must be removed. All CTs
connected.
In-Service Readings
In-service readings are taken to ensure system
reliability and security after the transformer is
energized and loaded.
Read and record magnitude and phase angle

readings in all leads and windings.
Check balance with meter. Trace any
abnormalities.
Verify all measurable quantities (inputs) through
the relay.

Check the steady state rms operating values to
verify that the relay is functioning properly. This
information is accessed directly in Address Blocks
5700 and 5900 and compared with actual known
values. See the Accessing Data section. Compare
the known current values with the displayed test
currents.
Figure 44: WinDIGSI Metering Data Screen
90
Compare the known current values with the

displayed test currents. If deviations occur that
cannot be explained by tolerances, recheck
connections and test arrangement and repeat.
If the values are not correct, wrong polarity or phase
interchange at Side 1 is usually the cause:
Check connections. Repeat test by renewed
measurement request
See the Accessing Data section for more detailed
instructions.
Waveform Capture during Test Fault Record
Address 4900
Recording a test fault record is especially important
for use on transformers where large inrush currents
can be produced by transient saturation of the
transformer iron. Since a large inrush current may
have the same effect as a single ended infeed fault,
energizing the power transformer several times
checks the effectiveness of the inrush stabilization.
Since the pick up signal of the relay is not stabilized,
the inrush current will start fault recording
automatically, provided that Address 7402 Wave
Trig is set to Trig with Pickup. Otherwise a fault
record is only stored if the relay has tripped. A fault
record can always be triggered via a discrete input
provided this is allocated.
The effectiveness of the inrush stabilization can be
determined from the recording of the differential
currents and the harmonic contents. If necessary,
the inrush current stabilization effect can be
increased in Address 1611, when trip occurs, or
when the recorded data show that the second
harmonic content does not safely exceed the set
stabilizing threshold set in Address 1611. A further
method to increase inrush stability is to set the cross
block function (Address 1612) effective or to
increase the duration of the cross block function.
PRCM-1108A-0199
7UT51 v3
Note:
Be sure that trip circuits are disconnected

from the relay trip contacts and are left
open-circuited. Do not connect any of the
relay outputs to any external breaker failure
devices.
If test switches are available, place all
related switches in the Test position.
Read and record magnitude and phase angle

readings in all leads and windings.
Perform a manual Waveform capture through
Address Block 4900 and verify the primary and
secondary waveforms using WinDIGSI and DIGRA.
Check balance with meter. Trace any abnormalities.
Verify all measurable quantities (inputs) through the
relay. Read the relay measurement of currents and
phase angles through Test Address 4101.
Figure 45: Waveform Capture of Normal

Line Current
Perform a manual start of the waveform capture
record (for analysis of the steady state rms current
or test current) in Address Block 4900.
The data can then be downloaded to a PC for
analysis, and verification that the relay is processing
all inputs as required by the application.
See the Data Available section for instructions and
examples.

When assessing the currents, note that the
differential and stabilizing values are referred to the
rated current of the transformer winding.
The value of differential value should be negligible
against the magnitude of the line currents. The
stabilizing (restraint) value should be approximately
twice the line current value.
Take relay out of Test mode through Address 4800.
Output Connections
Installation of 7UT51 Relay in Existing Circuit

The installation of the Siemens 7UT51 relay in an
energized circuit can be perform without disturbing
the existing system.
The following must be completed before the relay
can be fully functional in the circuit:
1. Settings applied
2. Acceptance/Installation tested (out of circuit)
Once all of the necessary and applicable testing has
been performed on the relay, the relay can be
prepared for installation and testing.
PRCM-1108A-0199
With test switches in the test position, proceed with

making all trip and signal output connections.
Since the relay is installed in an energized circuit,
operational checks of each output cannot be
performed; however, all outputs from the relay are
checked prior to installation and all control circuitry is
checked upon installation or subsequent outages.
Note: A complete functional check for all trip and
signal outputs should be performed during the
next available outage.

Routine Testing of System
Input Integrity
The inputs can be periodically checked by
performing the following:

transformer wiring, always short-circuit the
Block tripping.
Place test switches in Test position.
Apply a DC voltage to each input (one at a time),

preferably at a point that tests the largest section
of control wiring, check that the relay functions
appropriately through LEDs, outputs, or other
alarms and event messages.

This test will trip controlled

devices.
Relay Integrity
Routine checks of the relay characteristics or pickup
values are not necessary, as they form part of the
continuously supervised firmware programs.
The relay is self-monitored and problems within the
relay are automatically annunciated. If a problem
within the relay is detected, the relay will block itself
and the red LED Blocked light will be lit and LCD
will read Equipment Fault.
Output Integrity
During an outage, one method available to check
the outputs is to program one input for external trip
and program all outputs (signal and trip) for external
trips up to ten (10) at a time. Then trip the
perspective devices. This test would check the
outputs and operational wiring out to the controlled
device.
Validate Metering
During periodic checks, the steady state rms

operating values can be read out at any time to
verify that the relay is functioning properly. This
information can be accessed directly in Address
Blocks 5700 and 5900 and compared with actual
known values.
Testing the metering of the relay is the quickest

method of determining if the relay in no longer
functioning or that it is incorrectly connected. If the
relay cannot correctly determine what is being
applied to its inputs, it can no longer protect.
It is not necessary to perform testing during an

outage since most of the relays functions can be
checked by putting test switches in the Test position
and blocking all outputs from the relay; however,
most operational wire checking and functional
testing of the controlled devices will require an
outage.
Perform inservice (or test current) relay

measurements of all currents and phase angles
through Test Address 4101.
Measured Test Currents

When assessing the currents, note that the
differential and stabilizing values are referred to the
rated current of the transformer winding.
PRCM-1108A-0199
93
7UT51 v3
During normal operation or through-fault testing, the
value of differential current should be negligible
against the magnitude of the line currents. The
stabilizing (restraint) value should be approximately
twice the test or line current value.
that moment, the measured values of the quiescent

state are displayed. While pressing Reset.
If testing is performed during an outage or the test
switches are in the test position, all terminal screws,
even those not in use, should be tightened.
When the relay is in test mode, the differential

protection and the restricted ground fault protection
are not effective, even when they are switched On.
Take the relay out of test mode after the tests have
been completed.
Close housing cover.
Waveform
If test switches are in the Test position, place in the

Operating position.
Note: If the routine checks are performed during

Energized conditions or with test switches in
the Test position, initiate manual starting of
the record in Address Block 4900 to read line
or test current.
Note: If the routine checks are performed during an
outage or with test switches in the Test
position, a switching test or fault test can be
performed. See the Commissioning section of
this manual.
Download the captured waveform to a PC for
analysis, and verification that the relay is processing
all inputs as required by the application.
Once the waveform has been captured, view it using
WinDIGSI and DIGRA software.
Note: Housing cover must be on relay for proper

operation.
After all readings are taken and found to be correct,

the relays can be are placed in service.
Check that all protection is in service and that all
indicating lights, targets, and equipment are reset

Information to a SCADA System during Test
Operation Address Block 8300
When the relay is connected to a central storage
device or localized substation automation system
and VDEW/ZVEI is used, the information transmitted
to the central computing system can be identified as
Test Operation for all annunciations, messages,
and measured values occur while the relay is tested.
Thus, these messages can be distinguished from
those that occur during real operation.
Putting the Relay into Operation

All setting values should be checked again, in case
they were altered during the tests. Particularly
check that all desired protection functions have been
programmed in the Address Block 7800 and that all
desired protection functions have been switched On.
In order to accomplish this switch over, Address

Block 8300 is available, provided the VDEW/ZVEI
protocol has been chosen during configuration of the
serial system interface; Address 7221 and/or 7222
VDEW Compatible or VDEW Extended.
Stored indications on the front plate should be reset

by pressing the Target Reset on the front so that
from then on, only real faults are indicated. From
Note: Switch Address 8301 back to Sys. Test Off

after completion of testing.

Addresses 7107 and 7108 can be set to Display
Information on the latest fault event. Once the
message is acknowledged with the Reset key or via
remote reset, the selected display for Addresses
7105 and 7106 will appear.
The LEDs will be lit depending on how they were
marshalled in Address block 6300 (assuming the
corresponding function is Enabled and On).
Remote warnings will also be initiated if utilized.
Fault Analysis Data
The sources available to analyze a fault event are as
follows.
Address 5100 - the Event Log which contains the
50 most recent event messages, both operational
and fault messages, with older messages
overwritten by newer messages.
Address 5200 The Last Fault information (see
Note)
nd
Address 5300 The 2

(see Note)
to Last Fault information

Figure 46: Example of Fault Data
rd
Address 5400 The 3 to Last Fault information

(see Note)
Note: Each fault log contains up to 80 fault related
event messages beginning with the pickup of
any active protection function and ending with
the dropout of that function. If necessary to
make room, the oldest fault log and/or oldest
event messages within a log may be
overwritten.
Each event message has three parts:
1. The date and time of the event
2. A description of the event
3. An indication of whether the condition that
triggered the event is starting or ending.
PRCM-1108A-0199
PC
The PC can communicate directly with the relay by
entering the Dialog menu and choosing the Dialog
mode with the protection device Direct. Data may
also be accessed via a modem or SCADA system.
Consult the WinDIGSI Instruction Manual or the
WinDIGSI Users Manual for detailed instructions.
The recorded waveform fault data can be viewed
and analyzed by exporting (download) to a PC.
Data for up to three faults is stored in the relay;
however, the PC memory can store many. This data
can give valuable information on the simultaneously
captured data for all current inputs and up to four
user-defined functions that report the status of
discrete-signal inputs.
95
7UT51 v3
The fault data is accessed by entering the Fault
menu. From the Fault menu:
Resetting/Clearing Buffers and Targets

To reset the Event or Fault logs:
1. Choose Fault Record.

2. A list of the fault instance recorded within the
actual device or the device file will appear
3. Select the fault instance.
4. Choose Options.
5. Choose the type of graph desired: primary
values, secondary values, or normalized values
6. Click DIGRA.
7. From this point on there are several options for
viewing the data and printing the data. Consult
the WinDIGSI Instruction Manual or the
WinDIGSI Users Manual for detailed
instructions.
Saving/Archiving Fault Data
Using the WinDIGSI software, all faults present in
the relay can be completely transmitted to the
computer. Each fault is saved in a separate file.
Select the option PD->File in the Fault menu. You
will be asked to confirm your intention. You can
store as many event messages as necessary.
