Fig. 1 7SJ50 numerical overcurrenttime/overload protection relay

Application The 7SJ50 is a numerical protection relay which can be used for definitetime or inversetime overcurrent protection or for thermal overload protection. As an overcurrenttime and earthfault protection relay, the 7SJ50 can protect radial feeders as well as small or medium sized machines and transformers. It can be used as backup protection for differential and distance relays in HV and EHV feeder protection schemes. It can also be used as overload protection for motors, transformers and cables. By use of the directional relay 7SP20, the 7SJ50 can also be applied to ring feeders or to parallel lines with a single infeed. Construction All components, including the DC/DC converter are located on a single PCB. The device can be supplied in three case variations. The model for panel surface mounting is supplied with twotier terminals accessible from the front. The variants for panel flush mounting or cubicle mounting have rear connection terminals and are available with or without glass cover.

Implemented functions Overcurrent time protection with selectable characteristics (inverse or definitetime) D Directional overcurrenttime protection with directional relay 7SP20 D Overload protection selectable without or with memory (thermal replica) D Overload protection with startup time monitoring (locked rotor) D Additional high set (instantaneous) o/c elements available with all characteristics D Phasefailure protection D Earthfault protection
D

Settings Settings are performed by dualinline switches on the front panel. Self monitoring All important software components are monitored continuously. Any irregularities in the hardware or the program sequence are detected and alarmed. As a result, the security and availability of the protection relay are significantly improved.

Mode of operation The measuring quantities from the C.T.s are galvanically isolated, transformed and shunted by input transducers and resistor circuits. The current proportional analog measuring voltages are then converted into digital values and further processed by a microcomputer. Based on the measured values and the selected characteristic and settings, it computes the tripping time. Measurement is performed on all phases.

Overcurrenttime protection The function is based on a common phase measurement. A definitetime or an inversetime characteristic can be selected. For the earth currents, the same type of characteristic is used as for the phase currents. For the definite time characteristic, the tripping time t is computed as follows:

By using the overload protection with memory feature, the preload with all variations is taken into account. The tripping time t can be computed using the following equation (total memory according to IEC 2558)

tp = 80 tp = 40 tp = 20 tp = 10 tp = 5 tp = 2,5

Startup time monitoring In the overload protection mode, an additional settable time stage is available for monitoring the motor startup time. It becomes effective if the current exceeds a fixed value of 2.5 times the setting current Ip and the relay issues a tripping command. Instantaneous high set o/c element For shortcircuit protection, an instantaneous high set overcurrent element with a settable time is available to prevent response to inrush current. This element has always a definitetime characteristic. Phasefailure protection A phase unbalance function is available which detects a missing phase current if the current in the other phases is above 0.25 Ip. 10 s after the detection of a phase unbalance, a trip or an alarm is issued. Earthfault protection The implemented earthfault protection function can be applied if the earthfault current exceeds 10 % of the rated transducer current. This is normally valid for earthed systems e. g. in fourwire systems or lowvoltage motors. The earth current element (IE) has a separate timer.
