2.6.1 Audit trail

The IED offers a large set of event-logging functions. Normal process-related
events can be viewed by the normal user with Event Viewer in PCM600. Critical
system and IED security-related events are logged to a separate nonvolatile audit
trail for the administrator.
Audit trail is a chronological record of system activities that allows the

reconstruction and examination of the sequence of events and changes in an event.
Past user and process events can be examined and analyzed in a consistent method
with the help of Event List and Event Viewer in PCM600. The IED stores 2048
system events to the nonvolatile audit trail. Additionally, 1024 process events are
stored in a nonvolatile event list. Both the audit trail and event list work according
to the FIFO principle.
User audit trail is defined according to the selected set of requirements from IEEE
1686. The logging is based on predefined usernames or user categories. The user
audit trail events are supported in IEC 61850-8-1, PCM600, LHMI and WHMI.

Audit overflow Too many audit events in the time period
PCM600 Event Viewer can be used to view the audit trail events together with
normal events. Since only the administrator has the right to read audit trail,
authorization must be properly configured in PCM600. The audit trail cannot be
reset but PCM600 Event Viewer can filter data. Some of the audit trail events are
interesting also as normal process events.
To expose the audit trail events also as normal process events,

define the level parameter via Configuration/Authorization/
Authority logging.

2.7 Communication
The IED supports a range of communication protocols including IEC 61850, IEC
60870-5-103 and Modbus®. Operational information and controls are available
through these protocols. However, some communication functionality, for
example, horizontal communication between the IEDs, is only enabled by the IEC
61850 communication protocol.
The IEC 61850 communication implementation supports all monitoring and

control functions. Additionally, parameter settings, disturbance recordings and
fault records can be accessed using the IEC 61850 protocol. Disturbance recordings
are available to any Ethernet-based application in the standard COMTRADE file
format. 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.
Furthermore, 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 IEC 61850
standard. The IED can simultaneously report events to five different clients on the
station bus.
The IED can support five simultaneous clients. If PCM600 reserves one client
connection, only four client connections are left, for example, for IEC 61850 and
Modbus.
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 fibre-
optic LC connector (100Base-FX).
For the correct operation of redundant loop topology, it is essential that the external
switches in the network support the RSTP protocol and that it is enabled in the
switches. Otherwise, connecting the loop topology can cause problems to the
network. The IED itself does not support link-down detection or RSTP. The ring
recovery process is based on the aging of the MAC addresses, and the link-up/link-
down events can cause temporary breaks in communication. For a better
performance of the self-healing loop, it is recommended that the external switch
furthest from the IED loop is assigned as the root switch (bridge priority = 0) and
the bridge priority increases towards the IED loop. The end links of the IED loop
can be attached to the same external switch or to two adjacent external switches. A
self-healing Ethernet ring requires a communication module with at least two
Ethernet interfaces for all IEDs.

Figure 6: Self-healing Ethernet ring solution
The Ethernet ring solution supports the connection of up to 30

IEDs. If more than 30 IEDs are to be connected, it is recommended
that the network is split into several rings with no more than 30
IEDs per ring. Each IED has a 50-μs store-and-forward delay, and
to fullfill the performance requirements for fast horizontal
communication, the ring size is limited to 30 IEDs.
2.7.1 Ethernet redundancy

IEC 61850 specifies a network redundancy scheme that improves the system
availability for substation communication. It is based on two complementary
protocols defined in the IEC 62439-3 standard: parallel redundancy protocol PRP
and high-availability seamless redundancy HSR protocol. Both the protocols rely
on the duplication of all transmitted information via two Ethernet ports for one
logical network connection. Therefore, both are able to overcome the failure of a
link or switch with a zero-switchover time, thus fulfilling the stringent real-time
requirements for the substation automation horizontal communication and time
synchronization.
PRP specifies that each device is connected in parallel to two local area networks.
HSR applies the PRP principle to rings and to the rings of rings to achieve cost-
effective redundancy. Thus, each device incorporates a switch element that
forwards frames from port to port. The HSR/PRP option is available for REF615,
REM615, RET615 and REU615.
22 RET615
Application Manual
RET615 overview
PRP
Each PRP node, called a doubly attached node with PRP (DANP), is attached to
two independent LANs operated in parallel. These parallel networks in PRP are
called LAN A and LAN B. The networks are completely separated to ensure failure
independence, and they can have different topologies. Both networks operate in
parallel, thus providing zero-time recovery and continuous checking of redundancy
to avoid communication failures. Non-PRP nodes, called singly attached nodes
(SANs), are either attached to one network only (and can therefore communicate
only with DANPs and SANs attached to the same network), or are attached through
a redundancy box, a device that behaves like a DANP.

Figure 7: PRP solution
In case a laptop or a PC workstation is connected as a non-PRP node to one of the

PRP networks, LAN A or LAN B, it is recommended to use a redundancy box
device or an Ethernet switch with similar functionality between the PRP network
and SAN to remove additional PRP information from the Ethernet frames. In some
cases, default PC workstation adapters are not able to handle the maximum-length
Ethernet frames with the PRP trailer.
There are different alternative ways to connect a laptop or a workstation as SAN to

a PRP network.
• Via an external redundancy box (RedBox) or a switch capable of connecting to

PRP and normal networks
• By connecting the node directly to LAN A or LAN B as SAN
• By connecting the node to the IED interlink port
RET615 23
Application Manual
RET615 overview
HSR
HSR applies the PRP principle of parallel operation to a single ring, treating the
two directions as two virtual LANs. For each frame sent, a node, DANH, sends two
frames, one over each port. Both frames circulate in opposite directions over the
ring and each node forwards the frames it receives, from one port to the other.
When the originating node receives a frame sent to itself, it discards that to avoid
loops; therefore, no ring protocol is needed. Individually attached nodes, SANs,
such as laptops and printers, must be attached through a “redundancy box” that acts
as a ring element. For example, a 615 series IED with HSR support can be used as
a redundancy box.

3.1 Standard configurations
RET615 is available in eight alternative standard configurations. The standard

signal configuration can be altered by means of the graphical signal matrix or the
graphical application functionality of the Protection and Control IED Manager
PCM600. Further, the application configuration functionality of PCM600 supports
the creation of multi-layer logic functions utilizing various logical elements
including timers and flip-flops. By combining protection functions with logic
function blocks the IED configuration can be adapted to user specific application
requirements.

3.1.1 Addition of control functions for primary devices and the

use of binary inputs and outputs
If extra control functions intended for controllable primary devices are added to the
configuration, additional binary inputs and/or outputs are needed to complement
the standard configuration.
If the number of inputs and/or outputs in a standard configuration is not sufficient,

it is possible either to modify the chosen IED standard configuration in order to
release some binary inputs or binary outputs which have originally been configured
for other purposes, or to integrate an external input/output module, for example
RIO600, to the IED.
The external I/O module’s binary inputs and outputs of can be used for the less time-
critical binary signals of the application. The integration enables releasing some
initially reserved binary inputs and outputs of the IED’s standard configuration.
The suitability of the IED’s binary outputs which have been selected for primary
device control should be carefully verified, for example make and carry and
breaking capacity. If the requirements for the primary device control circuit are not
met, using external auxiliary relays should be considered.
3.1.2 LED functionality

The IED has dynamic programmable LEDs. The presentation of the LEDs in this

3.3 Presentation of standard configurations
Functional diagrams
The functional diagrams describe the IED's functionality from the protection,
measuring, condition monitoring, disturbance 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 of directional protection functions is towards the outgoing feeder.
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.
38 RET615
Application Manual
Protection function blocks are part of the functional diagram. They are identified
based on their IEC 61850 name but the IEC based symbol and the ANSI function
number are also included. Some function blocks, such as PHHPTOC, are used
several times in the configuration. To separate the blocks from each other, the IEC
61850 name, IEC symbol and ANSI function number are appended with a running
number, that is an instance number, from one upwards. If the block has no suffix
after the IEC or ANSI symbol, the function block has been used, that is,
instantiated, only once. The IED’s internal functionality and the external
connections are separated with a dashed line presenting the IED’s physical casing.
Signal Matrix and Application Configuration

With Signal Matrix and Application Configuration in PCM600, it is possible to
modify the standard configuration according to the actual needs. The IED is
delivered from the factory with default connections described in the functional
diagrams for binary inputs, binary outputs, function-to-function connections and
alarm LEDs. The Signal Matrix is used for GOOSE signal input engineering and
for making cross-references between the physical I/O signals and the function
blocks. The Signal Matrix tool cannot be used for adding or removing function
blocks, for example, GOOSE receive function blocks. The Application
Configuration tool is used for these kind of operations. If a function block is
removed with Application Configuration, the function related data disappears from
the menus as well as from the 61850 data model, with the exception of some basic
function blocks, which are mandatory and thus cannot be removed from the IED
configuration by removing them from the Application Configuration.
3.4 Standard configuration A
3.4.1 Applications
The standard configuration includes three-phase transformer differential protection
for two-winding transformers, numerical restricted earth-fault protection for the high-
voltage (HV) side. The standard configuration is mainly intended for protection of
the power transformer between current transformers.
The IED with a 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 enables this configuration to be further
adapted to different primary circuit layouts and the related functionality needs by
modifying the internal functionality using PCM600.

3.4.3 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
PCM600 according to the application requirements, if necessary.
The analog channels have fixed connections towards the different function blocks
inside the IED’s standard configuration. Exceptions from this rule are the 12
analog channels available for the disturbance recorder function. These channels are
freely selectable and a part of the disturbance recorder’s parameter settings.
The analog channels are assigned to different functions. The common signal
marked with 3I represents the three phase currents of the high-voltage side of the
transformer and 3IB represents the three phase currents of the low-voltage side of

Figure 19: Stabilized and instantaneous differential protection for 2W–

transformers
The stabilized and instantaneous differential protection for 2W–transformers

(TR2PTDF1) provides protection of power transformer unit including, for
example, winding short-circuit and interturn faults. The IED compares the phase
currents on both sides of the object to be protected. If the differential current of the
phase currents in one of the phases exceed the setting of the stabilized operation
characteristic or the instantaneous protection stage of the function, the function
provides an operate signal.
For transformers having an on-line tap changer, the tap position information is
recommended to be used in differential protection, as the ratio difference of tap
changer movements can be corrected in TR2PTDF.

RET615 45
Application Manual
Three stages for both high-voltage and low-voltage sides as a total of six
overcurrent stages are offered for overcurrent and short-circuit protection. The high-
voltage side high stage (PHHPTOC1) can be blocked by energizing the binary
input 1 (X110:1-2) or by starting the high stage of the low-voltage side
(PHHPTOC2). Also the low-voltage side instantaneous stage is blocked by
activating the binary input (X110_BI1).
A selective backup overcurrent protection can be achieved by using blockings

between high-voltage side and low-voltage side overcurrent stages. This kind of
blocking scheme enables coordinated overlapping of overcurrent protection zones.
The operate of the overcurrent protection functions is connected to the output SO1
(X110:14-15-16). This output is used for giving a specific alarm of the overcurrent
protection operation.

Figure 21: Non-directional earth-fault protection
Two stages are offered for non-directional earth-fault protection. The earth-fault
protection measures the neutral current of the high-voltage side.
All operate signals are connected to the Master Trip as well as to the alarm LEDs.
LED 5 is used for non-directional earth-fault protection operate indication.

Figure 22: Restricted low-impedance earth-fault protection
46 RET615
Application Manual
The configuration includes restricted low-impedance earth-fault protection function

for high-voltage side of two-winding power transformers (LREFPNDF1). The
numerical differential current stage operates exclusively on earth faults occurring
in the protected area, that is, in the area between the phase and neutral current
transformers. An earth 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 earth.

Figure 23: Negative-sequence overcurrent protection
NSPTOC is designed for negative-phase sequence protection whenever the

operating characteristic is appropriate. It is applied for the protection of
transformers against thermal stress and damage.
NSPTOC1 measures negative-sequence current from the high-voltage side and

NSPTOC2 from the low-voltage side.

Figure 25: Circuit-breaker failure protection
The circuit-breaker failure protection (CCBRBRF1) is initiated via the start input
by a number of different protection stages in the IED. CCBRBRF1 offers different
operating modes associated with the circuit-breaker position and the measured
phase and residual currents.
CCBRBRF1 has two operating outputs: TRRET and TRBU. The TRRET operate
output is used for retripping both the high-voltage and low-voltage side circuit
breakers through Master Trip 1 and 2. The TRBU operate output signal is
connected to the output PO2 (X100: 8-9). LED 6 is used for backup (TRBU)
operate indication.

Two separate trip circuit supervision functions are included, TCSSCBR1 for PO3
(X100:15-19) and TCSSCBR2 for PO4 (X100:20-24). Both functions are blocked
by the Master Trip (TRPPTRC1 and TRPPTRC2) and the circuit breaker open

The operate signals from the protections are connected to the two trip output
contacts PO3 (X100:15-19) and PO4 (X100:20-24) via the corresponding Master
Trips TRPPTRC1 and TRPPTRC2. Open control commands to the circuit breaker
from local or remote CBXCBR1-exe_op are connected directly to the output PO3
(X100:15-19).
TRPPTRC1 and 2 provide 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 push button.
The external trip indication is connected also to the alarm LED 11.

Figure 30: Disconnector position indication
There are two types of disconnector and earthing switch blocks available.
DCSXSWI1...3 and ESSXSWI1...2 are status only type, and DCXSWI1...2 and
ESXSWI1 are controllable type. By default, the status only blocks are connected in
standard configuration logic. If controllable operation is preferred, the controllable
type of disconnector and earthing switch blocks can be used instead of the status
only type. The connection and configuration of the control blocks can be done
using PCM600.
The binary inputs 5 and 6 of the additional card X110 are used for busbar
disconnector (DCSXSWI1) or circuit-breaker truck position indication.

Busbar disconnector closed x
Busbar disconnector open x

The circuit breaker closing is enabled when the ENA_CLOSE input is activated.
The input can be activated by the configuration logic, which is a combination of
the disconnector position status and the statuses of the master trip logics and gas
pressure alarm and circuit-breaker spring charging. The OKPOS output from the
DCSXSWI block defines if the disconnector or the breaker truck is definitely either
RET615 53
Application Manual
open (in test position) or close (in service position). This, together with non-active
trip signal and non-active gas pressure alarm, activates the close-enable signal to
the circuit-breaker control function block. The open operation is always enabled.
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.
If the ENA_CLOSE and BLK_CLOSE signals are completely

removed from the breaker control function block CBXCBR with
PCM600, the function assumes that the breaker close commands
are allowed continuously.
The circuit breaker condition monitoring function (SSCBR) supervises the circuit
breaker status based on the binary input information connected and measured
current levels. The function introduces various supervision methods. The
corresponding supervision alarm signals are routed to LED 9.

The analog channels are assigned to different functions. The common signals
marked with 3I and 3U represent the three phase currents and voltages of the high-
voltage side of the transformer respectively, and 3IB represents the three phase
currents of the low-voltage side of the transformer. The signal marked with Io
represents the measured neutral current measured between the start point of the
transformer and grounding on the high voltage side. The signal marked with Uo
represents the measured residual voltage via open-delta connected voltage
transformers on the high voltage side.

Requirements for measurement transformers
Section 4 Requirements for measurement

transformers
4.1 Current transformers
4.1.1 Current transformer requirements for non-directional

overcurrent protection
For reliable and correct operation of the overcurrent 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 short circuit 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.
4.1.1.1 Current transformer accuracy class and accuracy limit factor
The rated accuracy limit factor (Fn) is the ratio of the rated accuracy limit primary
current to the rated primary current. For example, a protective current transformer
of type 5P10 has the accuracy class 5P and the accuracy limit factor 10. For
protective current transformers, the accuracy class is designed by the highest
permissible percentage composite error at the rated accuracy limit primary current
prescribed for the accuracy class concerned, followed by the letter "P" (meaning
protection).
Table 73: Limits of errors according to IEC 60044-1 for protective current transformers
Accuracy class Current error at Phase displacement at rated primary Composite error at
rated primary current rated accuracy limit
current (%) minutes centiradians primary current (%)
5P ±1 ±60 ±1.8 5
10P ±3 - - 10
The accuracy classes 5P and 10P are both suitable for non-directional overcurrent
protection. The 5P class provides a better accuracy. This should be noted also if
there are accuracy requirements for the metering functions (current metering,
power metering, and so on) of the IED.
RET615 205
Application Manual
The CT accuracy primary limit current describes the highest fault current
magnitude at which the CT fulfils the specified accuracy. Beyond this level, the
secondary current of the CT is distorted and it might have severe effects on the
performance of the protection IED.
In practise, the actual accuracy limit factor (Fa) differs from the rated accuracy
limit factor (Fn) and is proportional to the ratio of the rated CT burden and the
actual CT burden.
The actual accuracy limit factor is calculated using the formula:
Sin + Sn
Fa ≈ Fn ×
Sin + S
A071141 V1 EN
Fn the accuracy limit factor with the nominal external burden Sn
Sin the internal secondary burden of the CT
S the actual external burden
4.1.1.2 Non-directional overcurrent protection
The current transformer selection

Non-directional overcurrent protection does not set high requirements on the
accuracy class or on the actual accuracy limit factor (Fa) of the CTs. It is, however,
recommended to select a CT with Fa of at least 20.
The nominal primary current I1n should be chosen in such a way that the thermal
and dynamic strength of the current measuring input of the IED is not exceeded.
This is always fulfilled when
I1n > Ikmax / 100,
Ikmax is the highest fault current.
The saturation of the CT protects the measuring circuit and the current input of the
IED. For that reason, in practice, even a few times smaller nominal primary current
can be used than given by the formula.
Recommended start current settings

If Ikmin is the lowest primary current at which the highest set overcurrent stage is to
operate, the start current should be set using the formula:
Current start value < 0.7 x (Ikmin / I1n)
I1n is the nominal primary current of the CT.
206 RET615
Application Manual
The factor 0.7 takes into account the protection IED inaccuracy, current
transformer errors, and imperfections of the short circuit calculations.
The adequate performance of the CT should be checked when the setting of the
high set stage overcurrent protection is defined. The operate time delay caused by
the CT saturation is typically small enough when the overcurrent setting is
noticeably lower than Fa.
When defining the setting values for the low set stages, the saturation of the CT
does not need to be taken into account and the start current setting is simply
according to the formula.
Delay in operation caused by saturation of current transformers

The saturation of CT may cause a delayed IED operation. To ensure the time
selectivity, the delay must be taken into account when setting the operate times of
successive IEDs.
With definite time mode of operation, the saturation of CT may cause a delay that
is as long as the time the constant of the DC component of the fault current, when
the current is only slightly higher than the starting current. This depends on the
accuracy limit factor of the CT, on the remanence flux of the core of the CT, and
on the operate time setting.
With inverse time mode of operation, the delay should always be considered as
being as long as the time constant of the DC component.
With inverse time mode of operation and when the high-set stages are not used, the
AC component of the fault current should not saturate the CT less than 20 times the
starting current. Otherwise, the inverse operation time can be further prolonged.
Therefore, the accuracy limit factor Fa should be chosen using the formula:
Fa > 20*Current start value / I1n
The Current start value is the primary pickup current setting of the IED.
4.1.1.3 Example for non-directional overcurrent protection
The following figure describes a typical medium voltage feeder. The protection is
implemented as three-stage definite time non-directional overcurrent protection.
RET615 207
Application Manual
A071142 V1 EN
Figure 163: Example of three-stage overcurrent protection
The maximum three-phase fault current is 41.7 kA and the minimum three-phase
short circuit current is 22.8 kA. The actual accuracy limit factor of the CT is
calculated to be 59.
The start current setting for low-set stage (3I>) is selected to be about twice the
nominal current of the cable. The operate time is selected so that it is selective with
the next IED (not visible in the figure above). The settings for the high-set stage
and instantaneous stage are defined also so that grading is ensured with the
downstream protection. In addition, the start current settings have to be defined so
that the IED operates with the minimum fault current and it does not operate with
the maximum load current. The settings for all three stages are as in the figure above.
For the application point of view, the suitable setting for instantaneous stage (I>>>)
in this example is 3 500 A (5.83 x I2n). For the CT characteristics point of view, the
criteria given by the current transformer selection formula is fulfilled and also the
IED setting is considerably below the Fa. In this application, the CT rated burden
could have been selected much lower than 10 VA for economical reasons.

5.1.5 Optional light sensor inputs

If the IED is provided with the optional communication module with light sensor
inputs, the pre-manufactured lens-sensor fibres are connected to inputs X13, X14
and X15, see the terminal diagrams.For further information, see arc protection.
The IED is provided with connection sockets X13, X14 and X15
only if the optional communication module with light sensor inputs
has been installed. If the arc protection option is selected when
ordering an IED, the light sensor inputs are included in the
communication module.

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).
