Section 2 REF620 overview
2.1 Overview
REF620 is a dedicated feeder IED (intelligent electronic device) designed for the
protection, control, measurement and supervision of utility substations and industrial
power systems. REF620 is a member of ABB's Relion® product family and part of its 620
protection and control product series. The 620 series IEDs are characterized by their
compactness and withdrawable design.
Re-engineered from the ground up, the 620 series has been designed to unleash the full
potential of the IEC 61850 standard for communication and interoperability between
substation automation devices.
The IED provides main protection for overhead lines and cable feeders in distribution
networks. The IED is also used as back-up protection in applications, where an
independent and redundant protection system is required.
Depending on the chosen standard configuration, the IED is adapted for the protection of
overhead line and cable feeders in isolated neutral, resistance grounded, compensated and
solidly grounded networks. Once the standard configuration IED has been given the
application-specific settings, it can directly be put into service.
The 620 series IEDs support a range of communication protocols including IEC 61850
with GOOSE messaging, Modbus® and DNP3.

2.3.4 Programmable pushbuttons and LEDs
Figure 8: Programmable pushbuttons with LEDs

On the left portion of the IED, the LHMI keypad has totally sixteen programmable
pushbuttons with 'Red' LEDs. Two of these pushbuttons, located at the bottom portion,
have the LEDs located on top of the buttons, while the remaining fourteen buttons have
the LEDs embedded on top right corners within the pushbuttons.
The pushbuttons and the lamps are freely programmable and can be configured to not only
select an operation but also get acknowledgement back from the internal logic that the
action has been executed through the LEDs associated with the pushbuttons. The
combination is very useful, typically for quickly selecting or changing setting groups,
selection and operation of equipment, indicating field contact status, indication and
acknowledging of individual alarms etc. Independent of the pushbuttons, the LEDs may
also be independently configured for general indication or important alarms to draw
operator's attention
The bottom two buttons with lamps are typically used for Hotline Tag and emergency
operation of the circuit which is controlled by the IED.

2.6 Communication
The IED supports different communication protocols: IEC 61850, Modbus® and DNP 3.0
Level 2 - all using TCP/IP. DNP3 and Modbus also support serial communication.
Operational information and controls are available through these protocols. However,
some communication functionality, for example, horizontal peer-to-peer communication
between the IEDs and parameters setting, is only enabled by the IEC 61850
communication protocol.
The IEC 61850 communication implementation supports all monitoring and control
functions. Additionally, parameter setting and DFR records can be accessed using the IEC
61850 protocol. Oscillographic files are available to any Ethernet-based application in the
standard COMTRADE format. Further, the IED can send and receive binary signals from
other IEDs (so called horizontal communication) using the IEC61850-8-1 GOOSE profile,
where the highest performance class with a total transmission time of 3 ms is supported.
24 REF620 ANSI
Application Manual
REF620 overview
Also, the IED supports sending and receiving of analog values using GOOSE messaging.
The IED meets the GOOSE performance requirements for tripping applications in
distribution substations, as defined by the 61850 standard. The IED can simultaneously
report events to five different clients on the station bus.
All communication connectors, except for the front port connector, are placed on
integrated optional communication modules. The IED can be connected to Ethernet-based
communication systems via the RJ-45 connector (100BASE-TX) or the fiber-optic LC
connector (100BASE-FX). An optional serial interface is available for RS-232/RS-485
communication.

REF620 configurations
Section 3 REF620 configurations
3.1 REF620 variant list
REF620 is intended for protection and control mainly in MV and sub-transmission feeder
applications. The product has three standard configurations covering a wide range of
primary circuit configurations in such networks based on different system grounding
methods.
Some of the functions included in the IED's standard configurations are optional at the
time of placing the order. The description of standard configurations covers the full
functionality including options, presenting the functionality, flexibility and external
connections of REF620 with a specific configuration as delivered from the factory.
3.2 Presentation of standard configurations
Functional diagrams
The functional diagrams describe the IED's functionality from the protection, measuring,
condition monitoring, recording, control and interlocking perspective. Diagrams show the
default functionality with simple symbol logics forming principle diagrams. The external
connections to primary devices are also shown, stating the default connections to
measuring transformers. The positive measuring direction is towards the outgoing feeder,
away from the bus bar.
The functional diagrams are divided into sections with each section constituting one
functional entity. The external connections are also divided into sections. Only the relevant
connections for a particular functional entity are presented in each section.
Protection function blocks are part of the functional diagram. They are identified based on
their ANSI function number/acronym, but the IEC based symbol and the IEC 61850 names
are also included. Some function blocks are used several times in the configuration. To
separate the blocks from each other, the IEC 61850 name and ANSI function number are
appended with a running number, that is an instance number, from one upwards. The IED's
internal functionality and the external connections are separated with a dashed line
presenting the IED's physical casing.
Signal matrix
With Signal Matrix in PCM600 the user can modify the standard configuration according
to the actual needs. The IED is delivered from the factory with default connections
REF620 ANSI 27
Application Manual
described in the functional diagrams for BI's, BO's, function to function connections and
alarm LEDs. Signal Matrix has a number of different page views, designated as follows:
• Binary input
• Binary output
• Functions
There are six IED variant-specific setting groups. Parameters can be set independently for
each setting group.
The active setting group (1...6) can be changed with a parameter. The active setting group
can also be changed via a binary input if the binary input is enabled for this. To enable the
change of the active setting group via a binary input, connect a free binary input with
PCM600 to the BI_SG_x input of the Protection block.

Application Manual
Each of the configurations can be re-configured to suit individual applications. Typically

optional IO and some of the functions may not be configured at delivery. Only key
functions such as tripping, breaker status inputs etc. are connected through the signal
matrix tool.
Typical connection diagram for the default configuration as delivered from the factory is
available for each alternative configuration. The diagrams show how to connect the
primary apparatus to the IED assuming control functionality is also included in the IED.
The configurations are prepared to cover for the most common applications but not all
possibilities.
The number of protection elements including directional and non-directional Phase and
Ground OC protections, multiple zone Phase distance protections, thermal overload,
undervoltage / overvoltage functions, frequency functions etc., coupled with Auto-reclose
and check synch functionalities allow the user to fulfill any application requirement in
protection and control of MV feeders. The IED is also provided with full control and
interlocking functionality including co-operation with the synchrocheck function to allow
integration of the main or back-up control.
The advanced logic capability, where the user logic is prepared with a graphical tool,
allows special applications including automatic opening, sequencing etc. The graphical
configuration tool ensures simple and fast testing and commissioning.
Various modes of communication including optical connections ensure integration of the
IED with the rest of the power system protection, control and automation.
The wide application flexibility makes this product an excellent choice for both new
installations and the refurbishment of existing installations.
It is strongly suggested that reference to Engineering Manual be made at this stage for
details on PCM600 and organizing a project with various IEDs, uploading settings to IED
etc. It is recommended to familiarize oneself with the grouping of various functions under
PCM600, IED to configure, change settings connected with various functions. A typical
screen shot is given below for ready reference. The next few paragraphs highlight a few
steps to verify some of the important things in connection with analog inputs. The next
sections give some of the settings suggestions and configuration possibilities which the
users may navigate and set them as suggested by themselves.

configurations of IED in project tree:
Once the PCM600 project with the correct IED ordering code is up and running the IED
details may be verified by right clicking on the IED name and selecting 'properties'.
Details of the ordering code, technical key etc. are displayed as follows:

Figure 15: REF620 Typical CT connection diagram, marked with polarity
38 REF620 ANSI
Application Manual
The polarity of CT and the internal connection are arranged in Figure 15 in such a way that
for a fault in the feeder, indicated by an arrow in the picture, a proportional current would
flow into terminal 7 of the IED with the same phase angle. If the actual CT polarity is
found reversed, it is best to correct it at the installation. Polarity of CT inputs is very
important not only for directional protection but also for metering, differential and
restricted earth fault protections. When two breaker applications are involved, adequate
care has to be exercised to ensure that the IED registers a current consistent with the power
flow in the protected system under all circumstances both with respect to phase as well as
ground fault protection measurements.
In case it is not possible to change the connections in field installation, it is possible to
reverse the connections say at terminals 7 and 8 at the relay end provided documentation
is corrected for the whole installation. Alternatively it is possible to correct polarity error
inside the relay using PCM600. Select the IED→IED Configuration→Configuration→
Analog inputs---> Current (3I,CT) as appropriate.
Then select the setting "Reverse Polarity" to "TRUE" as shown in Figure 16 below.
In the same window, one can input the rated primary current rating of the CT. The
secondary rated current is 5A by default but can be changed to 1A if required.
Figure 16: Modifying Reverse Polarity setting of CT input to IED

It may be noted that configurations A and C have an additional input current for ground
fault protection, with alternative ordering options of 5A/1A OR 1A/0.2A.
When ordered with 5A/1A option, IG input may be fed from either residual connection of
the phase CTs or from Core Balance CT (CBCT / Window type CT). When CBCT or
when incoming transformer WYE grounding CT is connected to this input, provision is
made to set the primary and secondary input ratings independent of the phase CTs.
REF620 ANSI 39
Application Manual
Whenever a sensitive ground fault protection is required or when the protected feeder is
provided with a core-balance CT, (which is highly recommended with non-effectively
grounded systems,) the IED can be ordered with more sensitive IG input rated for
1A/0.2A. Instead of the functions 51G, 50G-1, 50G-2 and 50G-3, the IED is equipped
with High Impedance Fault detection system HIZ and highly sensitive ground fault
protection 50-SEF.
When applied on LV side of a power transformer, the IG input can be connected to CT on
the transformer neutral to provide standby ground fault protection or as input for Low
Impedance Restricted Earth Fault protection.
Just as CTs inputs, it is also important to verify the VT input configurations and settings
before going ahead with further setting the IED. In PCM600 tool, on the concerned IED,
select VT inputs and make sure the connection inputs chosen are Delta (alternatively
WYE) and appropriate primary and secondary values are input both for main bus VT
inputs as well as Synchronizing VT input. Figure 18 indicates various possibilities of
connecting the VT input to the relay.
Figure 17: Selecting 'Wye' or 'Delta' setting of VT input to IED

Delta configuration has to be selected when the primary PT is connected in Open Delta (V)
configuration. Different possibilities of connections of VTs are possible as detailed in

Figure 19: VT Inputs to REF620 for synchronizing purposes

If the VT on the bus side is V(Delta), phase-phase connections are configured for the three
phase VT inputs as detailed in the earlier sections. It is expected that the feeder side of the
breaker shall similarly one ph-ph (Phases A and B) connected VT for synchronizing
purposes.
Similarly when WYE connected VT is available (3no Ph-Gnd Connected VT) on the bus
side, it is required to have Ph-Gnd connected VT on the feeder side in Ph A.
From synchronizing perspective, depending on application, three phase VTs are on the
feeder side with a single phase VT on the bus for synchronizing could be configured. Care
shall be exercised while setting Dead Bus/ Dead Line setting with a clear understanding of
which side is bus and line.
Depending on voltage selected for synchronizing voltage input, the phase shift setting
under check synch function shall also be properly set, especially when voltage on one side
of a transformer with a vector shift is used for synchronizing with a voltage on the other
side of the transformer.
3.2.4 Application choice:

3.2.4.1 Configuration A:
This configuration is eminently suitable for most of the applications in MV systems
involving single breaker control, protection and autoreclose fed off a single bus bar
system.
42 REF620 ANSI
Application Manual
Configuration A with ground CT input is specially suitable for switchgear incoming

breaker. The IG current input of the IED is set to measure the incoming WYE transformer
neutral current. The low impedance restricted earth fault protection can be enabled to
detect uncleared ground faults. The 51G function, operated off the IG input can be set to
operate for all uncleared downstream fault as well as internal transformer ground faults on
the MV system.
In the outgoing feeders with single breaker control, Configuration A with SEF/HIZ
protection is eminently suitable for detecting very low ground faults as well detect high
impedance ground faults in the feeders. A Core Balance CT (Window Type CT) is highly
recommended for connection to this input, especially in non-effectively grounded system.
The phase impedance protection (21P) can be enabled for medium to long feeders to
instantaneously clear severe ph-ph short circuits. Additional zones of the distance
protection can be enabled to operate after a delay or enable some of the time graded
protection to grade with downstream protection of the system.
3.2.4.2 Configuration B:
Configuration B is ideally suited for ''Breaker-and-a-half'' (One-and-a-half) systems with
VT inputs brought in from either of the buses as well as the other feeder in the 'diameter'
for synchronizing purposes.
Through an external control, it is possible to change the VT supply to most of the voltage
dependent protection, control and automation from one bus VT supply to the other.
The unit is suitable to control one bus breaker and one tie breaker. The feeder current is
the vectorial sum of currents fed from each of the breaker. The IED has an inbuilt
three-phase current summation function.
Two number REF620, Config B are provided one for each feeder in a breaker-and-a-half
system. Necessary co-ordination between the IEDs has to be engineered to have common
control and reclose of the tie (middle) breaker. This can be done either using physical
wiring of binary IOs or through IEC61850 goose messages. No ground or sensitive ground
current input option is available with this option.
This configuration can also be applied with Ring bus as well as double bus configurations,
see below. Please also refer to configurations B and C description in this manual for more
configuration and application details.
3.2.4.3 Configuration C:
Configuration C is applicable typically for Double bus, double breaker applications. This
configuration is available with either Ground CT or Sensitive EF/HIZ CT input option.
This configuration can be also applied to 'Breaker-and-a-half' with some minor limitation
of switching in of synchronizing VT from the second feeder of the diameter. The
configuration is well suited for ring bus system, with the breaker control, autoreclose for
the breaker applied cyclically across the bus system. The second breaker control becomes
redundant. Other details are similar to configuration B above.

Figure 20: REF620 Config C, applied to Ring Bus system

It is possible to configure REF620, configuration A alternatively for the above application,
externally summing up the currents by paralleling. However the internal breaker fail
protection would sense summated current and hence will not be able to discriminate the
failed breaker and take selective back up tripping.
Either Config B or Config C can also be applied to provide 'Partial' differential protection
of typical industrial systems with two incomers feeding two bus systems with a number of
feeders in each bus and with a buscoupler. With reference to Figure 21 below, the CT from
typically an incomer and CT from the bus coupler are connected to REF620. The currents
get summed internal to the relay. TOC protections fed off this summated current, can be
graded with downstream feeder TOC protections directly, thereby avoiding an additional
stage in grading, accelerating tripping times at the incomer level. One of the incomer
REF620 can control and monitor the bus-coupler breaker, eliminating the need for
installing any IED in the buscoupler.

frequency protection. When ordered with the option of sensitive ground CT input, the IED
is configured with High Impedance fault detection and sensitive earth fault protections.
The IED with this standard configuration is delivered from the factory with default settings
and parameters. The end-user flexibility for incoming, outgoing and internal signal
designation within the IED enable this configuration to be further adapted to different
primary power system layouts and the related functionality needs by modifying the
internal functionality using PCM600.

3.3.5 Functional diagrams

The functional diagrams describe the default input, output, alarm LED and
function-to-function connections. The default connections can be viewed and changed
with PCM 600 according to the application requirements, if necessary.
The analog channels, measurements from CTs and VTs, have fixed connections to the
different function blocks inside the IED's standard configuration.
The signal marked with IA, IB and IC represents the three phase currents. The signal IG
represents the measured ground current, fed from either residually connected CTs or an
external Core Balance CT or neutral CT depending on the application.
The signal marked with VA, VB and VC represents the three phase system voltages on the
bus. These inputs are connected in Delta, which are typically fed from open delta (V
connected) VTs from the system. When WYE connected VT is available in the system,
the VT inputs in the IED are WYE connected and configuration setting is suitably
changed. In addition, the signal VG can be energized by the tertiary winding of the VTs,
connected in broken delta.
The signal marked VSync is measured from the VT on the feeder side of the breaker. This
signal is used for check synchronizing purposes. The input again is configured for Ph-Ph
input from the system by default, but can be suitably configured to take input from Ph-G
voltage input as well. Care shall be taken in setting the synchrocheck function with correct
phase angle correction, especially in applications such as voltages fed to synchrocheck
across a transformer with vector shift.
When power system is provided with Open delta VT (V connected), since

there is no way to measure or estimate the system zero sequence voltage,
directional ground fault protection will have to be polarized by negative
sequence voltage polarization method only.
REF 620 offers six different settings group which the user can set based on individual
needs. Each group can then, be activated/ deactivated by using the programmable button
offered in the front panel of the unit. In addition to this the programmable button can also
be used for enabling/disabling switch mode, hot line tag, sensitive earth fault detection,
etc. Figure 31 shows the default mapping for the available programmable buttons. Figure
32 shows the hot line tag logic.

3.3.6 Functional diagrams for protection

The functional diagrams describe the IED's protection functionality in detail and according
to the factory set default connections.
Eight overcurrent stages (51P, 50P-1, 50P-2, 50P-3, 51LT, 67/51P, 67/50P-1, 67/50P-2)
totally are offered for overcurrent and short-circuit protection. Three of them include
directional functionality. The non directional high stage (50P-1) and directional high stage
REF620 ANSI 63
Application Manual
(67/50P-1) will be blocked by cold load detection logic. The cold load detection logic
starts from closing of the circuit breaker and is active during set time. The cold load
detection logic’s active time can be set in a resolution of minutes or seconds to the
functions TPSGAPC and TPMGAPC.
The operation of 50P-1, 50P-2, 50P-3, 67/50P-1 and 67/50P-2 will be blocked if
Instantaneous Blocking signal is active.
The directional overcurrent and short circuit protection will be blocked by default also if
the fuse failure situation is detected.
The inrush detection block's (INR-1) output BLK2H offers the possibility to either block
the function or multiply the active settings for any of the shown protection function blocks.
All trip signals are connected to the Master Trip and also to the alarm LEDs. Alarm LEDs
1, 2 and 3 are used for phase segregated information of faults. The alarm LED 5 is used to
indicate time delayed trips and the alarm LED 6 instantaneous trips of the current based
protection functions.
The pickup information of all overcurrent functions is collected to the variable
OC_PICKUP_ALARM and connected to the disturbance recorder. This signal can be
mapped to the signal outputs depending on the application needs.
Figure 33: Three phase overcurrent protection
64 REF620 ANSI
Application Manual
Four stages are provided to non-directional neutral overcurrent protection (51N-1, 50N-1,
50N-2, 50N-3). The neutral overcurrent protection uses calculated residual current
component.
Four stages of ground overcurrent protections (51G, 50G-1, 50G-2 and 50G-3) are
operated off standard IG input (rated 5/1A) when ordered. When sensitive ground input
(1/0.2A) is ordered sensitive ground fault protection 50SEF is provided (instead of four
ground overcurrent protections).
The operation of 51N-1, 50N-1, 50N-2 and 50SEF will be blocked if
GROUND_BLOCKING is active. The 50N-1 will also be blocked if the cold load
detection logic is activated. The operation of neutral overcurrent protection functions is
connected to alarm LED 4.
The alarm LED 5 is used to indicate time delayed trips and the alarm LED 6 instantaneous
trips of the current based protection functions.
Figure 34: Non-directional neutral overcurrent protection
SEF and HIZ functions are included if sensitive SEF/HIZ measuring option is
used.
REF620 ANSI 65
Application Manual
The operation of 51G, 50G-1 and 50G-2 will be blocked if GROUND_BLOCKING input
is active. The 50G-1 will also be blocked if the cold load detection logic is activated. The
operation of ground overcurrent protection functions is connected to alarm LED 4.
Figure 35: Non-directional ground overcurrent protection
51G, 50G-1, 50G-2 and 50G-3 are included if ground measuring option is used.
Three stages are offered for directional ground-fault protection (67/51N, 67/50N-1,
67/50N2). By default the stages (67/51N) and (67/50N-1) will be blocked by activating the
GROUND_BLOCKING input. If the cold load situation is detected the (67/50N-1)
function will be blocked. Also if the fuse failure situation is detected all directional
ground-fault protection functions will be blocked. While setting the directional element,
it is necessary to choose either Vo calculated or Negative sequence voltage polarization.
While either one may be selected with WYE connected VT, it is essential to choose
negative sequence voltage polarization with V (Delta) connected VT input from which
zero sequence voltage cannot be derived.

Application Manual
Figure 36: Directional neutral overcurrent protection
Two negative-sequence overcurrent protection (46-1 and 46-2) stages are provided for
phase unbalance protection. These functions are used to protect the feeder against phase
unbalance.
The phase discontinuity protection (46PD) provides protection for interruptions in the
normal three-phase load supply, like in downed conductor situations.
The operation of 46-1, 46-2 and 46PD is not blocked as default by any functionality. The
pickup signals are connected to OC_PICKUP_ALARM variable in logic.
The undercurrent protection function (37-1) is offered for protection against loss of phase
situations. The trip signal is connected to the disturbance recorder by default.

All overcurrent pickup signals are merged together as variable OC_PICKUP_ALARM.

This alarm is by default connected to disturbance recorder channel. It can be mapped also
e.g. for alarming or blocking purposes to the binary output relays.

The directional positive sequence power protection (32P-1) and directional negative
sequence power protection (32N-1) are offered in configuration. The output information
of these functions can be used e.g. releasing or blocking purposes but by default those are
not connected. Directional power protection functions are blocked by default
configuration connection if fuse failure is detected.

Application Manual
Two overvoltage and undervoltage protection stages (27-1, 27-2 and 59-1, 59-2) offer
protection against abnormal phase voltage conditions. The operation of voltage functions
is connected to alarm LED 8. A failure in the voltage measuring circuit is detected by the
fuse failure function and the activation is connected to undervoltage protection functions
to avoid faulty undervoltage tripping.
Negative-sequence overvoltage (47-1 and 47-2) protection functions enable voltage-based
unbalance protection. The operation signals of voltage-sequence functions are connected
to alarm LED 8, which is a combined voltage protection alarm LED.
The residual overvoltage protection (59N-1) provides ground-fault protection by detecting
abnormal level of residual voltage. It can be used, for example, as a nonselective backup
protection for the selective directional ground-fault functionality. The operation signal is

The over excitation protection function (24) is offered as standard. By the default the TRIP
output is connected only to alarm LED 8.
Figure 41: Over excitation protection

The thermal overload protection function (49F-1) detects short and long term overloads
under varying load conditions.
The trip of the thermal overload protection function is connected to the Master Trip 1. The
alarm and trip signals are connected to alarm LED 5.
Figure 42: Thermal overload protection

According to the order code the configuration includes restricted low-impedance
ground-fault protection function (87LOZREF). The function is available with 1/5A
ground CT input with functional application AA.
The numerical differential current stage operates exclusively on ground faults occurring in
the protected area, that is, in the area between the phase and ground current transformers.
A ground fault in this area appears as a differential current between the residual current of
the phase currents and the neutral current of the conductor between the star-point of the
transformer and ground.
Figure 43: Low impedance restricted ground fault protection

The circuit-breaker failure protection (50BF) is initiated via the PICKUP input by a
functions connected to the Master Trip 1 and by opening command of the circuit breaker.
50BF offers different operating modes associated with the circuit-breaker position and the
measured phase and the measured ground (IG) current in this configuration. 
50BF has two operating outputs: TRRET and TRBU. The TRBU output can be used to
give a backup trip to the circuit breaker feeding upstream. In the configuration the TRBU
output signal is connected to the output PO2 (X100: 8-9).
70 REF620 ANSI
Application Manual
Figure 44: Circuit breaker failure protection
Three arc protection (AFD-1, AFD-2 and AFD-3) stages are included as an optional
function. The arc protection offers individual function blocks for three ARC sensors that
can be connected to the IED. Each arc protection function block has two different
operation modes, with or without the phase and residual current check.
Trip signal from AFD-1 is connected to Master Trip 1, available at PO3 (X100: 15-19),
whereas the trip signal from AFD-2 and AFD-3 is connected to Master Trip 2, available at
PO4 (X100: 20-24). The operation of these protection functions is connected to alarm LED
11.
If the IED has been ordered with high speed binary outputs, then trip signal from AFD-2
and AFD-3 are connected directly to high speed output HSO2 (X110:19-20) and HS
P03(X110:23-24) respectively. HSO1(X110:15-16) is also mapped from Master Trip 1 to
derive a high speed trip output from AFD1.

According to the order code the configuration includes high impedance fault protection
function (HIZ). The function is available with functional application AB which is with

sensitive 0.2/1A CT input. The trip of the high impedance protection function is connected
to the disturbance recorder and to the alarm LED 11.
Figure 46: High impedance fault protection

The selectable under frequency or over frequency protection (81-1 and 81-2) prevents
damage to network components under unwanted frequency conditions.
Both functions contain a selectable rate of change of the frequency (gradient) protection
to detect an increase or decrease in the fast power system frequency at an early stage. This
can be used as an early indication of a disturbance in the system. The operation signals are
Two load shedding and restoration stages are offered in the standard configuration. 
The load shedding and restoration function (81LSH-1 and 81LSH-2) is capable of
shedding load based on under frequency and the rate of change of the frequency. The load
that is shed during the frequency disturbance can be restored once the frequency is
stabilized to the normal level. Also manual restore commands can be given via binary
inputs but by the default it is not connected. The operation signal is connected to the alarm
LED 8.
72 REF620 ANSI
Application Manual
Figure 47: Frequency and Load shedding functions

A phase distance protection function (21P) is included as a standard function. It provides
a fast and reliable protection for overhead lines and power cables. It is applied in
distribution and sub-transmission networks where three-phase tripping is allowed for
phase-to-phase / three-phase faults. Typically these networks are operated in ring or
meshed type of configurations. It is also characteristic for these networks that the
switching state is changed frequently due to daily operation and load flow considerations.
The networks also include varying capacities of distributed generation. This makes it
impossible to apply simple overcurrent based schemes. In these kinds of networks, 21P is
used to provide a fast and selective protection for overhead lines and power cables. It can
also be applied for radial feeders to increase the sensitivity of the protection, especially if
the short circuit power of the source is low or it is changing due to network operation.
The protection has five distance phase elements Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4 and Z5 which may be set,
depending on the application. When called in to protect medium to long length feeders,
the distance relay may be set to trip a feeder based on set impedance and time. Typically,
Z1 may be set to protect 80% of the feeder, arranged to trip instantly. Zone 2 is set with a
delay of about 500 mSec is set to trip faults up to 120% of the line. The Zone 3 may be set
to provide backup protection for the protected feeder as well as adjoining components of
the power system. If infeed from the remote end of the feeder is available, one of the zones
Z5 can be set in reverse direction with adequate delay to provide backup protection for bus
bar faults.
REF620 ANSI 73
Application Manual
Very often, it is possible to utilize the instantaneous (Start / Pickup) output of one of the
distance element to torque control one of the Overcurrent elements to grade with a
downstream OC protection, typically on the LV side of a step down transformer at the tail
of a transformer feeder protected by REF620.
From selectivity point of view, it is advantageous that in the protection chain all functions
in different positions trip according to the same measuring principle. Therefore, 21P can
also be applied for the backup protection of main transformers and buses. This way the
selectivity with the distance protection of the outgoing lines is easier to achieve.
21P is suitable as a basic protection function against two and three phase faults in all kinds
of networks, regardless of the treatment of the neutral point.
In the default configuration, the trip outputs of Z1 and Z2 are connected to trip the feeder
through Master Trip logic. The Start / Pickup signals of the same elements are connected
for fault record.
It is necessary to block the distance elements misoperating on loss of fuse. A signal from
Fuse fail function is always wired to block the distance element. Care shall be taken while
setting the distance element so that it does not operate under normal load flow conditions.
Provision is made in the function to discriminate load condition and avoid operation of the
element for such conditions.

A forward direction full load power flow, with 65V VT secondary and 5A
CT secondary would pose an apparent impedance to the relay of 13 Ohms,

Two Master Trip logics (86/94-1 and 86/94-2) are provided as a trip command collector.
86/94-1 collects the trip signals from 46, 46PD, 49F, 50P, 50N, 50G, 51LT, 51P, 51N,
51G, 67P, 67N, 81LSH-1, 87LOZREF, AFD-1 and SEF protection functions and is
connected to trip output contact PO3 (X100:16-19) and also to high speed output HS01
(X110:15-16) for IEDs ordered with high speed binary output cards.
Open control commands to the circuit breaker from the local or remote is also connected
directly to the output PO3 (X100:16-19) from circuit breaker control (52) function block.

Application Manual
86/94-2 collects the trip signals from AFD-2 and AFD-3 protection functions and is
connected to trip output contact PO4 (X100:20-24).
86/94-1 and 86/94-2 provides the lockout/latching function, event generation and the trip
signal duration setting. If the lockout operation mode is selected, one binary input can be
reassigned to the RST_LKOUT input of the Master Trip to enable external reset with a
pushbutton.

3.3.7 Functional diagrams for control functions

The circuit breaker closing is enabled when the ENA_CLOSE input is activated. The input
can be activated by the configuration logic, which is e.g. a combination of the disconnector
or breaker truck and ground switch position status and the status of the Master Trip logics
and gas pressure alarm and circuit-breaker spring charging. With the present
configuration, the activation of ENA_CLOSE input is configured using only Master Trip
logic 86/94-1 and 86/94-2 i.e. the circuit breaker cannot be closed in case Master Trip is
active.
REF620 ANSI 75
Application Manual
The ITL_BYPASS input can be used, for example, to always enable the closing of the
circuit breaker when the circuit breaker truck is in the test position, despite of the
interlocking conditions being active when the circuit breaker truck is closed in service
position.
Figure 51: Circuit breaker control
If the ENA_CLOSE and BLK_CLOSE signals are completely removed from

the breaker control function block 52 with PCM600, the function assumes that
the breaker close commands are allowed continuously.
The autorecloser functionality (79) is configured to be initiated by operate signals from a

number of protection stages through the INIT1...5 inputs. It is possible to create individual
autoreclose sequences for each input.
The autoreclose function can be blocked with the INHIBIT_RECL input. By default, the
operation of selected protection functions is connected to this input. A control command
to the circuit breaker, either local or remote, also blocks the autoreclose function via the
CBXCBR-selected signal. The circuit breaker availability for the autoreclosure sequence
is expressed with the CB_READY input in DARREC1.
The autoreclose locked status is connected to the alarm LED 7. The unsuccessful
autoreclosing UNSUC_RECL is connected to the disturbance recorder.

3.3.8 Functional diagrams for condition monitoring

Two trip circuit monitoring (TCM-1 and TCM-2) stages are provided to supervise the trip
circuit of the circuit breaker connected at PO3 (X100:15-19) and PO4 (X100:20-24).
Figure 53: Trip circuit monitoring

The TCM-1 and TCM-2 functions are blocked by 86/94-1, 86/94-2 and when the
circuit-breaker is not in closed position.
By default it is expected that there is no external resistor in the circuit breaker

tripping/closing coil circuit connected parallel with circuit breaker normally
open/closed auxiliary contact.

A failure in current measuring circuits is detected by current circuit supervision function

(CCM). When a failure is detected, function activates and can be used to block protection
functions which operates using calculated sequence component currents for example 46,
thus avoiding mal-operation.
Figure 54: Current circuit supervision
By default the FAIL output from CCM function is only connected to

disturbance recorder.
The fuse failure supervision SEQRFUF1 detects failures in voltage measurement circuits.
Failures, such as an open miniature circuit breaker, are detected and the alarm is connected
to the few voltage based protection functions to avoid misoperation.

3.3.9 Functional diagrams for measurements

The phase current inputs to the IED are measured by three-phase current measurement (IA,
IB, IC) function block. The current input is connected to the X120 card in the back panel.
Similarly the sequence and residual current are measured by sequence current
measurement (I1, I2, I0) and residual current measurement (IG) function blocks
respectively.
The phase voltage input is connected to the X130 card in the back panel. The voltages are
measured by (VA,VB,VC) function block. Similarly the sequence voltages are measured
by sequence voltage measurement (V1, V2, V0) function block respectively.

option in the menu selection. Based on the settings, function blocks can generate low
alarm/warning, high alarm/warning signals for the measured current values.
The frequency measurement of the power system (f) is available. Also single

swells. This functionality is included according to ordercode selection.
The voltage unbalance power quality function PQVUB monitors voltage unbalance
conditions in power networks. It is used to monitor the commitment of power supply
utility of providing a balanced voltage supply on a continuous basis. The function provides
statistics which can be used to verify compliance of the power quality.
The load profile (LoadProf) function is also included into measurements sheet. The load
profile function offers ability to observe the history of the loading of the corresponding
feeder.

Application Manual

The analog channels, measurements from CTs and VTs have fixed connections to the
In double breaker (and CT) fed feeders such as in breaker-and-a-half system,
double-bus-double-breaker system and ring bus systems, the protected feeder is
electrically tied up with both the breakers and Current Transformers. Traditionally, the
CTs were externally paralleled with appropriate polarities, to get resultant current flowing
through the feeder and was thus used to measure and protect the feeder. This configuration
allows currents from each breaker to be individually fed to the IED. An internal function
(CMSUM1), sums up the currents before being fed to the feeder protection and
measurement functions.

Figure 73: CT Input currents summation Function

One major advantage of this approach is that it is possible to measure and record individual
breaker currents which is very important to get better insight into the system. The IED has
additionally the breaker fail protection functions connected to each of the current input, so
in case of failure of one of the breakers, selective action can be taken to identify and isolate
only the faulted breaker, which is the very purpose of providing multiple breakers feeding
a feeder.
The signal marked with IA, IB and IC represents the three phase current from bus side
breaker (52-1) and the signal IA(2), IB(2), IC(2) represent the current fed from the second

bus-1, to which the feeder is connected through breaker 52-1. The signal marked with
VA(2), VB(2) and VC(2) represents the three phase system voltages on the other bus
(Bus-2), to which the feeder is connected through breaker 52-2 (and further through 52-3
in case of breaker-and-a-half system). These inputs are connected in Delta, which are
typically fed from open delta (V connected) VTs from the system. When WYE connected
VT is available in the system, the VT inputs in the IED are WYE connected and
configuration setting is suitably changed.
REF620 ANSI 101

Application Manual
When power system is provided with Open delta VT (V connected), since there
is no way to measure or estimate the system zero sequence voltage, directional
ground fault protection will have to be polarized by negative sequence voltage
polarization method only.
In 'breaker-and-a-half' systems, additional voltage from the second feeder (in the diameter)
is brought to the IED as Vsync(2). This along with respective signals from the bus or the
concerned feeder can be suitably selected to close appropriate breaker in the diameter.
Synchro check logic gets quite complex in some of the applications. Typically in
breaker-and-a-half system, because of primary system switching flexibilities, it is possible
that a particular synchronizing reference voltage may not be available. Hence it is
necessary to choose a different live point of the system to tap reference voltage for
synchronizing purposes. REF620 allows full flexibility in selecting the appropriate logic,
by providing three sycnhro check function in the IED. The first is connected across Bus-1
and protected feeder voltages. The second one is connected across the protected feeder
and the second feeder voltages. The third one is connected across the two bus voltages.
Should the three phase bus VT voltage fail, say on fuse failure, it is possible to switch the
critical voltage dependent protection, control and metering functions to the second bus VT
(and back to the main bus) through a VT selection function block (VMSWI), within the
IED. The IED is configured to have this selection done manually through a pushbutton in
the front of the IED.

stages {27-1(1), 27-2(1) and 59-1(1), 59-2(1) for bus 1 and 27-1(2), 27-2(2) and 59-1(2),

59-2(2) for bus 2} which offer protection against abnormal phase voltage conditions. The
operation of voltage functions is connected to alarm LED 8. A failure in the voltage
measuring circuit is detected by the fuse failure function and the activation is connected to
undervoltage protection functions to avoid faulty undervoltage tripping.
Similarly, each bus voltage is provided with negative-sequence overvoltage {47-1(1) and
47-2(1) for bus 1 and 47-1(2) and 47-2(2) for bus 2} protection functions enable
voltage-based unbalance protection. The operation signals of voltage-sequence functions
are connected to alarm LED 8, which is a combined voltage protection alarm LED.
Each bus is also with a residual overvoltage protection, {59N-1(1) for bus 1 and 59N-1(2)
for bus 2) which provide ground-fault protection by detecting abnormal level of residual
voltage. They can be used, for example, as a nonselective backup protection for the
selective directional ground-fault functionality. The operation signal is connected to alarm
LED 8.

Trip signal from AFD-1 is connected to Master Trip 1 available at PO3(X100:15-19) and
trip signal from AFD-2 is connected to Master Trip 2 available at PO4 (X100:20-24).
When HSO option is ordered, the Master Trips 1&2 are also arranged to trip HSO1 and
HSO2 respectively at slot X110. AFD3 is also arranged to energize HSO3 at slot X110.
This contact which may be wired to trip the bus and / or the incoming breaker as
appropriate. The operation of these protection functions is connected to alarm LED 11.

The under frequency or over frequency protections (81-1 and 81-2) prevents damage to
network components under unwanted frequency conditions.
Two load shedding and restoration stages are offered in the standard configuration. The
load shedding and restoration function (81LSH-1 and 81LSH-2) is capable of shedding
load based on under frequency and the rate of change of the frequency. The load that is
shed during the frequency disturbance can be restored once the frequency is stabilized to
the normal level. Also manual restore commands can be given via binary inputs but by the
default it is not connected. The operation signal is connected to the alarm LED 8.

Very often, it is possible to utilize the instantaneous (Start/Pickup) output of one of the

through Master Trip logic. The Start/Pickup signals of the same elements are connected
for fault record.
Fuse fail function is always wired to block the distance element. Since the bus voltage
selection could be either from Bus1 or from Bus2, the appropriate bus voltage fuse failure
blocking is directed to the distance element.

Care shall be taken while setting the distance element not to make the distance element so
large as to make it operate for load flow condition. Provision is made in the function to
discriminate load condition and avoid operation of the element for such conditions.
A forward direction full load power flow, with 65V VT secondary and 5A CT
secondary would pose an apparent impedance to the relay of 13 Ohms, along the
resistive direction.
86/94-2 collects the trip signals similar to Master Trip 1 except for AFD-1. Instead it

The fuse failure supervision SEQRFUF1 and SEQRFUF2 detect failures in voltage
measurement circuits in respective buses Bus1 and Bus2 VT inputs. Failures, such as an
open miniature circuit breaker, are detected and the alarm is connected to the few voltage

The circuit breaker condition monitoring functions (52CM-1 and 52CM-2) supervise the
circuit breakers' status based on the binary input information connected and measured
current levels. The function introduces various supervision alarms.

In double breaker (and CT) fed feeders such as in breaker-and-a-half system,
double-bus-double-breaker system and ring bus systems, the protected feeder is
electrically tied up with both the breakers and Current Transformers. Traditionally, the
CTs were externally paralleled with appropriate polarities, to get resultant current flowing
through the feeder and was thus used to measure and protect the feeder. This configuration
allows currents from each breaker to be individually fed to the IED. An internal function
(CMSUM1), sums up the currents before being fed to the feeder protection and
measurement functions.

Requirement of current transformers
Section 4 Requirement of current transformers
4.1 Current transformer requirement for protection
For reliable and correct operation of protection, the CT has to be chosen carefully. The
distortion of the secondary current of a saturated CT may endanger the operation,
selectivity, and co-ordination of protection. However, when the CT is correctly selected, a
fast and reliable protection can be enabled. The selection of a CT depends not only on the
CT specifications but also on the network fault current magnitude, desired protection
objectives, and the actual CT burden. The protection settings of the IED should be defined
in accordance with the CT performance as well as other factors. Appropriate 'C' class CT
should be used based on the total resistances of the CT secondary circuit.
4.1.1 AC saturation:
The TOC curve of the earlier electromechanical relays was achieved by allowing partial
saturation of the internal magnetic circuits. Currents much higher than the higher limits of
the TOC relays, which cause 'partial' saturation of the CTs should not affect the
applications. However, if an application involves severe CT saturation, the relay may not
function. Where the CT ratio is very low, CT secondary currents could exceed 20 times
rated current causing severe saturation. The net outputs of such CTs may become so low
(Figure 152) that operation of most of the protections become impossible.
Figure 152: CT secondary waveform when severe AC saturation occurs
REF620 ANSI 175

Application Manual
To avoid saturation, the CT shall develop adequate voltage such that
VX > If (RCT+RL+RB) Equation 1
where,
If = Fault current on CT secondary (Amps)

RCT = CT Secondary resistance (Ohms)
RL = CT Secondary total lead resistance (Ohms)
and RB = CT secondary connected burden (Ohms)
The lead resistance RL is the total secondary loop lead resistance. In case of single phase
to ground faults, the current from the CT secondary flows through the phase connection
and returns through the neutral wire. Hence twice the 'one-way' lead resistance shall be
considered. In case of multi-phase faults, the phase currents cancel out with negligible
current in the common neutral return lead. Hence the lead resistance for such faults will
be just that of the 'one-way' lead. Special cases arise with delta connected CTs. In all such
cases a very careful evaluation of how the CT under question drives currents through the
leads would be necessary.
4.1.2 Transient saturation:

Transients, especially the decaying DC waveform in the primary current, cause the CT to
go into saturation and produce distorted current waveform. Once the transients vanish the
steady state performance of the CT gets restored.
Figure 153: CT waveform when saturation occurs due to DC transients

It can be shown that the CT shall have enough capacity to develop the following voltage
not to saturate at all for a combination of AC and DC transient.
VX > If (1+X/R) (RCT+RL+RB) Equation 2
where,
If = Fault current on CT secondary (Amps)
X = System Primary Reactance (in Ohms)
RCT = CT Secondary resistance (Ohms)
RL = CT Secondary total lead resistance (Ohms)
and RB =CT secondary connected burden (Ohms)
176 REF620 ANSI

Application Manual
Note that there is an additional factor (1+X/R) on the right side of the equation compared
to the equation applied for AC saturation, Equation (1).
The ANSI specifies CTs for protection performance by a letter (
IEEE Std C57.13- 1993). The classification codes are C, K and T. The classification C is
widely used for protection. They indicate that the winding is uniformly wound around the
core with negligible leakage flux. The C class CT is furnished with excitation
characteristics which can be used to "Calculate" the CT performance. The standard ratings
are C100, C200, C400, C800 corresponding to 100, 200, 400 and 800 volts respectively at
100A CT secondary. This would mean the design burdens are 1, 2, 4 and 8 Ohms
respectively. Other burdens such as 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 with corresponding voltages 10, 20,
50 are also specified but are not often used for HV and EHV applications. ANSI specifies
the power factor of the burden at 0.5.
A steady state current error of 10% is allowed at 100A secondary, which translates into
10A excitation current. It is easy to look up the CT excitation characteristics
corresponding to 10A excitation current and find out the induced voltage inside the CT.
Subtracting the internal drop of RCT through 100A fault current from the voltage should
be above 100, 200, 400 or 800V to classify the CT as either C100, C200, 400 or 800.
The K classification is the same as C rating but the knee-point voltage must be at least 70%
of the secondary terminal voltage rating. The letter T indicates the ratio error must be
determined by 'Test'. There are other classification types H and L, which are older
specifications and are no longer in use.
An ANSI C800 CTs will have a saturation voltage of about,
Vx = 100(R CT +8)
Equation 3
Here 100 represents the recommended maximum CT secondary current of the CT during
fault conditions (= 20 times nominal current of 5A), 8 is the burden expected to be
connected to C800 class CT.
Comparing against the earlier equation (3), to avoid saturation,
100(RCT +8) > If (1+X/R) (RCT+RL +RB) Equation 4
Define Ni = 100/If
Nr = {RCT +8(design burden for C800)} / (RCT+RL +RB )
Substituting in (4) above,
(1+X/R) < Ni Nr Equation 5
REF620 ANSI 177

Application Manual
4.1.3 Remanence flux:

An additional dimension to the above issue is the residual magnetizing field left over in
the CT core on clearance of a fault. When a fault with a heavy DC transient occurs, the
flux density may go to a very high level. Once the fault is cleared, due to magnetic
retention of the excited material, a certain amount of magnetism is retained. This has been
found to be as high as 90% in some of the magnetic material.
In other words, in order to design a CT which will always reproduce the currents
accurately, it may be necessary to increase the CT size by a term (1+X/R)/ (1-ψ) where ψ
represents the per unit of maximum flux remaining in the CT core after removal of the
primary fault current.
For example if the residual flux is 25%, ψ = 0.25. So the resultant CT sizing requirement
goes up by a factor 1/ (1- ψ) = 1/ (1-0.25) =1.33. In other words the requirement goes up
by 33%. In case the CT retains 90% residual flux, it can be seen that the requirement of
the CT size goes up by a factor of 900%.
The continuity or polarity of a current transformer is tested before putting

it into service. DC test current injected into the CT will cause a unidirec-
tional flux build up, sufficient to cause adequate remanence magnetic flux
that may interfere with relay operation. It is very difficult to get rid of the
remanence flux once established. Special de-magnetizing procedure is
adopted to reduce the remaining flux.
Various methods are used to reduce the effects of remanence (Std. IEEE C37.110):
a Using different grades of steel for the core
b Gapped core
c Biased core CTs.
Of the three, the second method is widely practiced.
4.1.4 Practical CT sizing considering CT saturation:

The inequality considered earlier assumes no saturation. Modern high-speed relays
operate quite fast, often taking an internal trip decision quite earlier than the onset of
saturation even after considering remanence.
It is possible to calculate the time to saturate for any CT given the set of saturation voltage,
remanence level, details of connected burden etc. Once the time to saturation is known a
quick check against the time of operation of the protective relay would indicate whether
the application would function properly with respect to the CT characteristics. Special
care is needed when high speed autoreclose is concerned since the remanence magnetism
and the CT secondary transient effects are the maximum when a reclose is attempted with
a permanent fault on the line. Figure 154 provides a graphical representation of time to
178 REF620 ANSI

Application Manual
saturation of a CT. Detailed mathematical terms to calculate 'time-to-saturate' are

available in IEEE C37.110.
Figure 154: Time to saturate as a function of the saturation voltage and secondary
circuit resistance
IEC standards have special classifications for CTs with gaps and specify their performance
and remanence limits (IEC-60044-6).
4.1.5 CT Requirements for various protection applications

Once the CT specifications are known, it is necessary to match against the requirements of
the protections. The following highlight some of the most often used protections and how
CTs are matched for proper performance.
4.1.5.1 Time OC protection

TOC protection demands currents up to about 20 to 30 times the set current. The transient
saturation is not of concern since the protection operating times are much after the CT
comes out of saturation. AC saturation is of concern and CT saturation voltage has to be
checked against the voltage generated during maximum fault conditions at which grading
with other protections are provided.
4.1.5.2 High set

The operating times of High-set Phase or Ground OC elements are of the order of about a
cycle. To ensure high speed of operation, it is essential to check both AC saturation as well
as transient saturation of the CT. Where CT saturation cannot be avoided, it is necessary
that the highset operates before the CT starts saturating on transients.
REF620 ANSI 179

Application Manual
4.1.5.3 Distance protection

The lines usually carry higher primary amperes. The ratios are high resulting typically in
currents much lower than 100A. Saturation during transient is of major concern.
Saturation is accepted after the operation of the Zone-1 operation. Delayed elements of
Zone-2 and Zone-3 can be given necessary logic circuits to ride through the saturation time
of the current transformers before recovery occurs after the DC transients decay or some
minor errors in their operating times are tolerated. In sub-transmission systems and
distribution systems, when distance protection is applied, typically the feeder impedance
would be much higher than the source impedance and have a lower X/R ratio than the step
down sub-station energizing the feeder. The main concern of saturation is thus of close up
forward faults. If the fault is very severe to be of concern of CT saturation, a CT design
with a time to saturate time of 10-20msec works fine in most of the cases.
4.1.5.4 Differential & REF protection

Biased differential protection applications have operating characteristics with pickup
increasing with higher through fault currents. This is defined by a slope of the bias
characteristics. The higher the slope, the larger is the tolerance of the relay to errors and
CT saturation. Some differential protections have multiple slope characteristics. A
minimum time to saturate for the high speed protections such as the above would be about
10mSec, based on which the CT sizing can be verified.

5.2 Outputs
5.2.1 Outputs for tripping and controlling

Output contacts PO1, PO2, PO3 and PO4 are heavy-duty trip contacts capable of
controlling most circuit breakers. On delivery from the factory, the trip signals from all the
protection stages are routed to PO3 and PO4.

The IED can be ordered with BIO cards with High Speed Power Outputs in designated
slots. When Arc protection is ordered with HSO outputs, that protection is configured to
energize one or more of those outputs by default.

5.2.2 Outputs for signaling

Output contacts SO1 and SO2 in slot X100 or SO1, SO2, SO3 and SO4 in slot X110 or (in
slots X115 and X105 optional) can be used for signaling on pickup and tripping of the
IED. On delivery from the factory, a few of the protection stages are routed to signaling
outputs, for onward alarm / external trip multiplications.

5.2.3 IRF
The IRF contact functions as an output contact for the self-supervision system of the
protection IED. Under normal operating conditions, the IED is energized and the contact
is closed (X100/3-5). When a fault is detected by the self-supervision system or the
auxiliary voltage is disconnected, the output contact drops off and the contact closes
(X100/3-4).
