IRD represents a family of integrateable microprocessor-based terminal units for line/machine

protection. The IRD digital design is based on a powerful microprocessor and organized into
models to provide protection, control and metering functions.
IRD terminal are applicable in medium voltage lines, power transformers, generators, and
feeders in general, where overcurrent protection (for phase to phase or phase to ground
faults) is required.
This instruction manual covers the IRD-A and IRD-J, and particular characteristics are
specified where are relevant.
1.1 Functions
1.1.1 Non-directional Overcurrent Protection 3-Phase and Ground
Includes four non-directional overcurrent measuring units (three for Phase Overcurrent
protection and one for Ground). At IRD-A’s each unit is comprised of a time element and an
instantaneous element, with additional temporization adjustable.
At IRD-J’s each unit is comprised of a time element and two instantaneous elements, with
additional temporization adjustable.
Time elements can be selected with the following types of characteristics: Definite Time,
Inverse, Very Inverse, Extremely Inverse and User Programmable.
Time and Instantaneous Overcurrent Elements for Phase and Ground can be enabled or
disabled using settings. Three setting groups are provided for selecting alternative pre-
established time and instantaneous overcurrent pickup values and time characteristics (one is
active and two are in reserve).
Phase and ground, timed and instantaneous overcurrent pickup and tripping functions can all be
individually targeted.
1.1.2 Reclosing
Reclosing can be separately coordinated with external protection as well as with the protection
contained in the terminal unit. Reclosing sequences for phase faults and ground faults can be
set independently.
Reclosing is selectable up to a maximum of four attempts with independent settings for recloser
timers (dead or open breaker wait times) and reset times. The reclosing sequence is controlled
by the breaker position and by the reclose initiate signal, which permits reclosing based on the
protective elements which operated to trip the breaker.
The trip elements and reclose attempts enabled during a fault clearing and reclosing sequence
are selectable.
Manual closing can be initiated from the terminal unit using its reclosing output contacts. The
Close Command in this instance is supervised and controlled in the same way as any
permissible automatic reclosing command following a trip from the protection elements.

BIRD1102A
1.1.3 Breaker Failure Protection

The terminal unit incorporates Breaker Failure Protection elements which detect the
continuation of phase or ground overcurrent and send trip commands to initiate backup tripping
of other breakers.
1.1.4 Open Phase Protection

This element detects open phase conditions by measuring the negative-sequence to positive-
sequence current ratio. Detection of the open phase enables tripping should the setting
threshold be exceeded.
1.1.5 Residual Current Protection

The purpose of the Residual Current Detection unit is to generate a trip as soon as it detects the
circulation of zero sequence current (that does not reach the fault level) in a pre-set time
interval. The circulation of this current indicates that there is an unbalance of currents in the
installation.
1.2 Additional Functions

• Control
Breaker trip and close operations can be performed through the terminal unit keypad (if fitted)
after entering the user-defined passwords.
• Trip and Close Circuit Monitoring
Both models, IRD-A and IRD-J, incorporate elements to monitor the breaker’s trip and close
circuits. Both circuits can be monitored in either of the breaker’s two possible positions (tripped
and closed). These supervision elements produce Trip Circuit Failure and Close Circuit
Failure outputs.
• Operation Outputs Monitoring
Associated to Trip and Close Circuit Monitoring functions, the operation output functions can be
found.
• Breaker Monitoring
Fault interruption kA2 values are summed and accumulated in the terminal unit each time the
breaker trips. The accumulated kA2 information is compared with an alarm set point intended for
predicting breaker maintenance.
• Excessive Number of Trips
This function ensures that the breaker will not be subjected to an undesirable number of
operations during a fixed period of time.
• LED Targets
Terminal unit front panel indication consists of five LEDs. Four of the LEDs are user definable.
The fifth LED is always assigned to indicate the terminal unit is Ready (powered up, self-test
OK).
1-3
BIRD1102A
• Status Contact Inputs

The terminal unit has eight status contact inputs, all of them configurable.
• Auxiliary Contact Outputs
There are eight auxiliary output contacts, seven of which are configurable.
• Trip and Close Outputs
IRD-A and IRD-J terminals have two contact outputs (trip and close) made of two normally open
(NO) contacts, configurable to normally closed (NC) with internal jumpers.
• Oscillographic Recorder (optional)
The oscillography function is composed of two sub-functions: Capture and View.
• Information Available through Local Alphanumeric Display
Display of:
Operations:
- Last trip and recloser status (according to model).
- Started Units.
- Activated Units.
- Activated Inputs / Outputs.
Meterings:
- Phase and Ground Currents.
- Maximum Current.

• Self-Test Program
A continuously running diagnostic self-test program verifies the correct operation of the terminal
unit and alerts the user to potential problems.

4.1 General
• 8IRD Models
8IRD protection terminal units are supplied with one printed circuit board that provides the
following functions:
- Power supply - Analog inputs

- CPU module - Digital Inputs and Outputs
On 8IRD models a second printed circuit board can be added.

• 3IRD Models
3IRD protection terminal units from ¼ 19” Rack consist of:
- A printed circuit board containing analog input transformers.

- A printed circuit board that contains the CPU.
- A printed circuit board that contains the functions of Power Supply and Digital Inputs
and Outputs.
Additionally, one or two printed circuit boards can be added to provide more contact inputs and
outputs when the 3IRD enclosure is half of a 19” rack in width.
Depending on the loaded configuration, the available physical inputs and outputs can be fully
used or not.
The physical aspects of the 8IRD equipment are shown in Figure 4.1 and 4.2. Figure 4.2 shown
the physical aspect of an 8IRD without the keypad and alphanumeric display.

View.
The keypad and the alphanumeric display, the local communications port and LEDs are located
at the front of the equipment. On 3IRDs expansion bus cable connections are located here too.
Connectors of each printed circuit board and the remote communication port are located at the
rear of the equipment. Connector position will depend on the model.

BIRD1102A
4.2 Dimensions
Protection terminal units have the following case dimensions according to the model specified:
- 3IRD cases are ½ or ¼ 19” Rack and 6 units high.

- 8IRD cases are 19" Rack and 2 units high.
The equipment is intended to be installed either semi-flush mounted in panels or in 19” racks,
where the smaller cases can be mounted side by side to occupy a full 19” rack width. The 3IRD
comes equipped with a transparent cover, which can be sealed for security purposes. The
enclosure color of both units is graphite.
4.3 Connection Elements

4.3.1 Terminal Blocks
The number of terminal connectors will depend on the number of digital inputs/outputs and their
position will be different according to model.
• 3IRD Models
Printed circuit boards are arranged vertically. Terminal connectors/connector blocks are
grouped as follows:
- One column for current/voltage analog inputs split into a terminal connectors blocks of
10 terminals.
- One column for contact inputs/outputs split into two terminal connectors blocks of 32
terminals each (64 terminals total).
- One column for additional digital inputs/outputs split into two terminals connectors
blocks of 32 terminals each (64 terminals total). (Available in ½ rack case widths only).
For ¼ rack models the connector disposition is shown at Figure 4.5. The disposition for the ½
rack models is shown at Figure 4.6.
• 8IRD Models
Printed circuit boards are arranged horizontally (see Figure 4.7). Terminal connectors/connector
blocks are grouped in rows:
- One row split with 2 connectors blocks of 24 terminals each (48 terminals total) for
digital inputs/outputs and 1 connectors block of 10 terminals for measures of
current/voltage analog inputs.
- One row split, for additional current/voltage digital outputs, with 2 connectors blocks of
24 terminals each (48 terminals total).
The analog current input terminals (10 connectors terminal block) admit wires of a cross section
up to 4 mm2 #11 AWG. The rest of the circuits admit wires of up to 2.5 mm2 #13AWG cross-
section. Pointed terminal are recommended for the connection to the terminal connectors.

4.3.2 Plug-in connectors (Non Self-shorting)

The current circuits continuously support In = 20A.
4.3.3 Removing of Printed Circuit Boards (Non Self-shorting)

The IED's printed circuit board can be taken out. WARNING: the current connector is not
self-shorting. Consequently, the CT secondaries must be short-circuited externally
before board removal.
The printed circuit board is attached to the case with self-tapping screws. These screws must
be removed before the board is withdrawn. This operation always requires the protection to be
Not in Service.
4.3.4 Internal Wiring

The equipment uses traditional printed circuit board connections and internal buses to minimize
internal wiring.

6.1 Overcurrent Elements

IRD-A/J IED’s provide four Directional Overcurrent Protection elements: Three-Phase and
Ground.
• IRD-A Model
Each of these elements consists of an Instantaneous and a Time Overcurrent measuring
element. The Instantaneous measuring element is also equipped with an adjustable timer which
can be enabled or disabled. Instantaneous and Time Overcurrent element settings are made
for: Phase and Ground Time, Phase and Ground Instantaneous. Figure 6.4 shows the block
diagram of one of these units for checking its basic operation.
• IRD-J Model
Each of these elements consists of an Instantaneous and two Time Overcurrent measuring
elements. The Instantaneous measuring element is also equipped with an adjustable timer
which can be enabled or disabled. Instantaneous and Time Overcurrent element settings are
made for: Phase and Ground Time, Phase 1 and Ground 1 Instantaneous and Phase 2 and
Ground 2 Instantaneous. Figure 6.5 shows the block diagram of one of these units.
6.1.1 Time Elements

The circuit continuously processes the RMS value of current analog input I based on averaging
a full cycle of samples. Pickup takes place when the measured value exceeds 1.05 times the
pickup setting and reset occurs at the pickup setting.
The Time Element integrates a measured value above pickup by incrementing a counter in the
integrator module using an amount proportional to the input current RMS value. When the
counter reaches the operate threshold, the Time Overcurrent Element initiates a trip.
When the measured value drops below the pickup setting, the incrementing value is removed,
causing a rapid reset of the integrator module to its initial condition with the counter at zero. Any
new measured value above pickup must then start the integration interval from zero.
Three inverse time curves (Inverse, Very Inverse and Extremely Inverse), one Definite Time
curve and one User Programmable time curve can be selected. The User Programmable
curve is loaded into the terminal unit front RS232 port through the ZiverCom® communications
program.
Time-current characteristic curves have two independent settings: Curve Family, and Time Dial.

6.1.2 Instantaneous Elements

The Instantaneous elements respond using two different current measuring criteria, one for
RMS values and the other for peak-to-peak values. For RMS current values, operation takes
place whenever the measured value exceeds 1.05 times the pickup setting. For peak-to-peak
current values, operation occurs whenever the difference between current samples taken 180º
apart exceeds 2.1 times the peak value of the pickup setting.
Filtering out the DC offset component in combination with the application of these two
instantaneous measurement methods results in low transient overreach without adversely
affecting tripping speed.
The combined output of these measuring elements is equipped with an adjustable timer which
enables delay of the instantaneous trip.
The actuation of the Instantaneous 2 (Phase and Ground) elements on IRD-J model, inhibit the
actuation of the Recloser.

BIRD1102A
• IRD-J Model
Figure 6.5: Overcurrent Unit Block Diagram (IRD-J Model).
6.1.4 Torque Control (Pickup Blocking Enable)

Both the Time and the Instantaneous Overcurrent Elements have inputs referred to as Torque
Control. When the input is energized for the Time Overcurrent function, the operation of the
Time Overcurrent Element is blocked by resetting the Integrator module to its initial condition
with the counter at zero.
To enable Time Overcurrent tripping, this input must remain de-energized during the entire
timing process from pickup to trip. If the input is energized for the Instantaneous Overcurrent
Element, the instantaneous function is blocked via a logic gate after the level detector outputs
that will hold the timer reset.
For each one of the Torque Control inputs, there is an Enable setting within each protection
element menu in the display. To use these Logic Input Signals, Status Contact Inputs must be
programmed for this application.

BIRD1102A
6.1.5 Trip Blocking and Time Delay Disable

Trip Blocking inputs can be programmed into Time and Instantaneous Overcurrent elements,
which disable element trip if input is activated before trip is generated. If input is activated after
tripping, trip is reset. Trip blocking inputs must be programmed before this blocking logic can be
used.
Another programmable input exists that can turn a given Time Overcurrent element into
instantaneous. Said input is called Timer Disable and is available for all time-delayed elements.
6.2 Breaker Failure

The Breaker Failure function is designed to detect the failure of a circuit breakers response to
trip commands from protection elements. It also generates a trip signal to open adjacent
breakers capable of isolating the fault. The operation of this function is shown in the block
diagram of Figure 6-6.
The Breaker Failure Initiate signal

(I_FI) is activated through a Trip
Command generated by the terminal
unit Internal Protection elements
(DISP) or an External Protection Trip
input (APE). Once the I_FI signal is
activated and current is still detected
by the terminal unit (P_INT signal),
the Breaker Failure signal (P_FI)
starts the counter for the Breaker
Failure Time Delay (T_FI). If T_FI
times out before either I_FI resets,
indicating that the conditions which
initiated Breaker Failure are no longer
present, or P_INT resets, indicating
that there is no current detected by
the terminal unit, the Breaker Failure
Output (FI) is activated.
Figure 6.6: Breaker Failure Element Block Diagram.
The reset of either the I_FI or P_INT signal causes the T_FI timer to reset and stop the Breaker
Failure process.
The P_INT signal, which indicates the presence of current, is active whenever any of the units
pickup levels are exceeded. These fast reset current level detectors are intended to stop the
timer as soon as the breaker is open and current has disappeared to insure that the FI signal is
not triggered inadvertently.
In order to activate the breaker failure element from an external protection trip input, one of the
terminal unit Status Contact Inputs must be configured as an External Protection Trip Input
(APE). If an input is not assigned as an External Protection Trip Input, the APE signal will
default to a logic “0”.
Additionally, one or more of the Auxiliary Contact Outputs must be configured as a Breaker
Failure Output (FI) to produce a contact output for initiating backup tripping.

BIRD1102A
6.3 Open Phase Element

• Without Minimum Load in the Line Setting
The Open Phase element is designed to detect an open phase in the monitored three-phase
circuit by measuring the ratio of the negative to positive sequence current. Figure 6-7 shows the
block diagram of this function.
Figure 6.7: Open Phase Element Block Diagram (without Minimum Load in the Line Setting).
Open Phase Pickup is initiated when this ratio exceeds the user adjustable setting. Once the
Open Phase element has picked up, output T_FASE_A is initiated. If the T_FASE_A signal is
present for a period of time equal to or greater than the T_FASE_A Time Delay setting, a Open
Phase Trip Output occurs.
The operation of this function is controlled by the element enable setting, the position of the
breaker and the positive sequence current level. If the breaker is open or the positive sequence
current level is less than 100 mA, the element is disabled. This function is also disabled when
any of the Phase or Ground, Time or Instantaneous Overcurrent Elements are picked up.
If this function is disabled, positive and negative sequence current measurement is still provided
for metering display purposes.
6-9
BIRD1102A
• With Minimum Load in the Line Setting

Some models have a special setting for Minimum Load in the Line, which is the level of positive
sequence current needed for enabling unit operation. The logic of this unit is shown on the
following figure:
Figure 6.8: Open Phase Element Block Diagram (with Minimum Load in the Line Setting)
6.4 Residual Current Element

The Residual Ground Overcurrent Element is designed to detect situations of sustained residual
or unbalance currents by the existence of zero sequence currents which are below expected
ground fault values.
Figure 6.9: Residual Current Unit Detection Block Diagram.
The current measured by the Residual Current Unit Detection uses the same Current Analog
Input as the Ground Overcurrent Elements. Once this element has picked up, output
A_RESIDUAL is activated. If the A_RESIDUAL signal is present for a period of time equal to or
greater than the Time Delay setting, a Trip Output occurs (S_RESIDUAL). The Residual
Current Unit Detection can be disabled with the element Enable setting but is automatically
disabled when the Ground Time Overcurrent Element picks up.

6.5 General Settings

• Equipment in Service
When the equipment is in service (YES), all the integrated functions of the equipment function
normally (always in relation to the settings chosen for these functions).
When the equipment is out of service (NO), its function will be reduced exclusively to metering
operations. The measured values will appear in the display and can be seen through local and
remote communications.
• Transformer Ratio
The transformer ratio settings (phase and/or ground, depending on model) only affect to the
analog values displayed on the HMI.
A transformer ratio setting of 1 will display the secondary values of the CTs. A setting equivalent
to the CT transformation ratio will display the primary values of the system.
• Open Breaker Status
The function of the Open Breaker Status Input controls the state of the breaker and this input
can be defined as contact normally open (with breaker open), which corresponds to the setting
“0”, or as contact normally (with breaker closed), which corresponds to the setting “1”.
The state of the breaker is used by the Recloser to define the state of Block due to Open
Breaker and the beginning of the reclosing cycle. Moreover, it is linked to the Breaker operation,
which occur from the keyboard and via communications. Lastly, the open phase unit will not
pick up if the breaker is open.
• Event Masking
It is possible to mask unneeded events or those events without importance for the study of
protection behavior. Event masking can be done only through ZiverCom® communications
software.
6-11
BIRD1102A
6.6 Recloser
The Recloser function in the IRD IEDs is designed to initiate up to four reclose attempts with
independent settings of the Recloser and security times.
Independent Recloser Timer settings are available for each dead time interval for both phase
and ground faults. The types of controlled Recloser signals are:
- Recloser starts for phase-to-ground faults tripped by the ground time unit.
- Recloser starts for phase-to-ground faults tripped by the ground instantaneous unit.
- Recloser starts for phase-to-phase faults tripped by the instantaneous units (Phase
Time).
- Recloser starts for phase-to-phase faults tripped by the instantaneous units (Phase
Instantaneous).
- Recloser starts for open phase unit trip.
- Recloser starts for residual current unit trip.
- Recloser starts for external protection unit trip.
Figures 6-10 and 6-11 show flow diagrams describing the operation of the Recloser. Reclose
Initiate (IR) signal shown in these diagrams is the logic sum of the following signals:
IR-F (Recloser starts for phase-to-phase faults)

IR-N (Recloser starts for phase-to-ground faults)
Therefore IR = IR-F + IR-N
IR is activated when either IR-P or IR-N is initiated. IR is reset when both IR-P and IR-N are
reset.
6-12
BIRD1102A
6.6.1 Reclose Sequence

Up to four reclose attempts can be programmed in the reclose sequence. A sequence of
operations takes place during each of these close attempts that is controlled by the Recloser
settings, external inputs, and inputs from the protection elements.
• Reclose Initiate
When the Recloser function is in the Recloser Reset state, reclosing can be initiated by internal
protection elements or an External Protection Trip Input (APE). When the Reclose Initiate
(IR) signal is activated, the Recloser switches from the Reset state to the Sequence Check
Time state. The Sequence Check Time timer begins timing at this point. If this timing is
completed before the fault is cleared (IR de-activated) and the breaker opens (IA), the Recloser
switches to Recloser Lockout Due To Breaker Failure. Manually closing the breaker will reset
the Recloser provided the breaker remains closed for the Recloser Reset Time after Manual
Close set by the user. If the fault has been successfully cleared, the reclose sequence
continues with the activation of the Reclose Sequence in Progress (CC) signal.
• Reclose Supervision by Reference Voltage
If the Recloser Reclose Supervision by Reference Voltage setting is YES, the next step in
the Reclose logic process is a Reference Voltage Timer for detecting rated voltage at the
Reference Voltage input. If voltage is detected during the user predetermined time interval, the
Recloser switches to the Reclose Timer (Dead Time) state prior to the first reclose attempt. If
rated voltage at the Reference Voltage input is not detected during the user predetermined
time interval, the Recloser switches to Recloser Lockout Due To Lack of Reference Voltage.
If the Recloser Reference Voltage setting is NO, the Reference Voltage Timer logic is
bypassed and the Recloser Timer (Dead Time) state is achieved immediately.
• Recloser Timer (Dead Time)
The Recloser Time (Dead Time) is the time the breaker is allowed to remain open before a
reclose is attempted. This time delay starts when the Recloser Timer (Dead Time) status is
achieved. The Recloser Timer (Dead Time) time delay setting can be different for each reclose
attempt. When this timer has timed out, the Reclose Inhibit (INR) input status is verified. If an
INR input signal is not present, the Reclose Command is activated and the Closing Time
status is achieved.
If an INR signal is present, the Supervision by Reclose Inhibit setting status is checked. If
Supervision by Reclose Inhibit is disabled, the Reclose Command is activated and the
Closing Time status is achieved. If Supervision by Reclose Inhibit is enabled, the Reclose
Inhibit Timer starts. If the Reclose Inhibit (INR) input is removed before the timing is
completed, the Reclose Command is activated and the Closing Time status is achieved. If the
Reclose Inhibit Timer times out and the Reclose Inhibit (INR) input is present, the Recloser
status changes to Recloser Lockout Due To Unsatisfied Reclosing Conditions.

BIRD1102A
• Closing Time
When the Recloser Closing Time state is achieved, the Reclose Command (OR) output is
activated to send a Close Command to the breaker and an adjustable Breaker Close Failure
Timer is started. If the breaker closes before the Breaker Close Failure Time is completed, the
Recloser Reset Time state is achieved. If the time is completed and the breaker remains open,
the Recloser state switches to Recloser Lockout Due To Breaker Close Failure. In either
case the Reclose Command (OR) output is subsequently de-activated.
• Reset Time
When the Recloser Reset Time state is achieved, an adjustable Reset Time timer is started.
The Reset Time setting corresponds to the closing attempt the Recloser is currently executing
and the type of prior fault. If the Reset Time is completed without a trip being initiated, the
Recloser switches to the Recloser Reset state and the reclose attempt is completed
successfully.
If a trip occurs and Reclose Initiate (IR) is activated before the Reset Time is completed, the
next step in the reclose sequence is determined by the Number of Reclose Attempts setting.
If a trip (IR active) occurs after the last reclose attempt permitted by this setting, the Recloser
switches to Recloser Lockout Due To Permanent Fault, and the reclose sequence ends. If
the Recloser has not reached the last permitted reclose attempt, the trip (IR active) which
occurs before the Reset Time is completed initiates a new reclose attempt and the Recloser
switches to the Sequence Check Time state.
6.6.2 Recloser Lockout

The previous sections in this chapter have described how the Recloser Lockout state is
achieved where the Recloser cannot initiate a breaker closing attempt in response to fault
conditions and corresponding trip operations.
Another condition will produce Recloser Lockout. Recloser Lockout is also achieved when
the breaker is opened without a fault associated with the breaker operation. Under this
circumstance, the Recloser switches to Recloser Lockout Due To Open Breaker Status and
reclosing is disabled.
The Recloser will remain in the Recloser Lockout state until a closed breaker is detected or a
Manual Close Command is initiated through the terminal unit. The Recloser will then reset only
if the breaker remains closed for the Reset Time after Manual Close set by the user.
6-16
BIRD1102A
6.6.3 Manual Close

There are two Manual Close operations that affect the status of the Recloser:
• External Manual Close
External manual closing is identified when the Recloser detects, by way of the Open Breaker
(IA) Status Contact Input, that the breaker has closed and that a closing command has not been
issued by the terminal unit through the Recloser.
When this condition is detected, the Recloser leaves the Recloser Lockout state and switches
to the Reset Time after Manual Close state. When this state is achieved the timer for the
Reset Time after Manual Close starts. If timing is completed without a trip initiation, the
Recloser switches to the Recloser Reset state. If there is a trip before timing is completed, the
Recloser switches to the Recloser Lockout Due To Switch-On-To-Fault state.
• Recloser Manual Close
If the Recloser Manual Close Enable setting is YES in the Logic Settings, then reclosing is
initiated when the Recloser receives a Manual Close Command signal from a Status Contact
Input. The subsequent closing sequence is similar to a final programmed reclose attempt except
there is no Sequence Check Time. Also, the following Reclose Sequence settings supersede
those associated with a final programmed reclose attempt:
- Manual Close Supervision By Reference Voltage (equivalent to Supervision of the

Reference Voltage Reclosing setting).
- Time Delay on Reference Voltage.
- Time Delay on Inhibit Input Deactivation.
- Time Delay on Manual Close (equivalent to Reclosing Time).
- Reset Time after Manual Close.
Near the end of the Recloser Manual Close sequence, at breaker closure, the Reset Time
after Manual Close timer is started. Recloser Lockout results if a mask enabled trip output
occurs during this period of time. If no trip occurs, the Recloser returns to the Recloser Reset
state.
6-17
BIRD1102A
6.6.4 Manual and External Blocking

There are two types of block signals, Manual and External. Priority is given to the block
commands received first. To remove the block the corresponding opposite command should be
issued.
• Manual Blocking
The Recloser can be manually blocked with the Recloser Block command via the operator
interface keyboard on the terminal unit. If the Recloser is in a Reclose Sequence when the
Block Reclosing command is received, further operations are suspended. No reclose attempts
are initiated after a breaker trip.
A Recloser Unblock command must be entered from the operator interface to exit the Blocked
status. If the breaker is open when this command is received, the Recloser changes to the
Recloser Lockout state. If the breaker is closed when the Unblock command is received, the
Reset Time after Manual Close timer is started.
• External Blocking
The Recloser External Lockout feature operates the same as Block Reclosing, except that
commands are executed through Status Contact Inputs instead of the operator interface.
The Recloser External Lockout state can be controlled by the status of one single status
contact input or by two separate contact inputs, depending on the model.
Block Reclosing commands override Recloser External Lockout commands. If the Recloser
receives a Recloser Block command while in the Recloser External Lockout state, the
Recloser changes to the Recloser Blocked state which can only be reset by a Recloser
Unblock command.
6.6.5 Definite Trip

A Definitive Trip signal will be generated in the Recloser if, after the reclosing attempt
sequence the fault persists. Then, the trip will occur.
It is possible too to configure an auxiliary output (DD + DISP*BLQ), also as a definitive trip; so
that when a trip occurs the Recloser will get internally blocked.
This Definitive Trip signal will remain active as long as the unit performing that trip does not
reset. It usually happens when after a trip no reclosing attempt takes place.
6.6.6 Recloser Not in Service

The Recloser is placed in the Not in Service state whenever the Recloser in Service Enable
setting is NO.
6-18
BIRD1102A
6.6.7 Reclose Counter

There are two counters accessible from the operator interface display, which indicate the
number of reclose attempts completed. One counter records the number of reclose attempts
after the Recloser at rest trip, and the second counts the number of reclose attempts of the rest
of the cycle trips.
For example, where the number of reclose attempts is set to four, and a fault has been
successfully cleared after the fourth trip, the first counter is incremented one count and the
second counter incremented three counts. The counters are reset from the operator interface.
6.6.8 Recloser and Trip Control Masks

The Reclose Sequence Trip Mask controls which protective elements can operate based on
Recloser status, and the Reclose Sequence Reclose Mask controls which protective elements
can initiate reclosing after operating.
• Trip Enable
Tripping can be controlled by Recloser status for the following elements:
IRD-A Model IRD-J Model

Phase Instantaneous Phase 1 Instantaneous
Phase Time Phase Time
Ground Instantaneous Ground 1 Instantaneous
Ground Time Ground Time
Open Phase Phase 2 Instantaneous
Residual Current Ground 2 Instantaneous
Open Phase
Residual Current
Enabling or disabling of these units for trip generation is subjected to the following status of the
Recloser:
Recloser at Rest
Recloser Counting Security Time Following Closure #1, 2, 3 Or 4
Recloser Counting Security Time Following External Manual Close
Recloser Counting Security Time Following Manual Closure Through Block Reclosing
The action of the trip masks can only take place if the corresponding unit has been activated,
within its own protection settings, given that if the unit has been deactivated, its pickup process
does not initiate.
Trip mask, which corresponds to the NO setting, makes the physical output of the trip contact,
or of an output configured as masked, but it realizes the whole process of the unit from start to
the decision of generating a trip.
6-19
BIRD1102A
• Reclose Enable
Enabling or disabling of reclosing is possible in these faults:
- Phase to Ground Faults tripped by the Time Elements (Ground Time)

- Phase to Phase Faults tripped by the Time Elements (Phases Time)
- Phase to Ground Faults tripped by the Instantaneous Elements (Ground Instantaneous)
- Phase to Phase Faults tripped by the Instantaneous Elements (Phase Instantaneous)
- Open Phase element tripped
- Residual Current Detection element tripped
- External Protection actuation
Operatives instantaneous elements on IRD-J are phase 1 and ground 1 element. The
actuation of the Instantaneous 2 (Phase and Ground) elements, lockout the actuation of
the Recloser.
The masks are defined for the following Recloser status:
- Recloser after tripping following rest status.

- Recloser after tripping while at rest #1, 2, 3 or 4.
If the Recloser is Out of Service or Blocked, the masks are not operative and all trips are by
default in active status.
Warning: Caution should be exercised when disabling protective trip elements that are
expected to respond to faults, as each of the above settings are independent. Masking of
all the units makes it impossible for the protection to trip. No masking is YES in the
setting. Therefore, you have to make sure that at least one measurement unit is not
masked and is in an enable status.
6-20
BIRD1102A
6.7 Logic
The logic settings include the following functions: Trip Seal-In, Time Delay for Breaker
Opening and Closing Failure, Closing through the Recloser and Coordination Time.
6.7.1 Trip Seal-In

The Trip Output Seal-In function is enabled by setting the Seal-In Enable to YES. Once a
protective trip and subsequent breaker operation command have been generated, the
command is maintained until the breaker has opened as indicated by the 52b auxiliary contact
which monitors breaker position.
If the Seal-In Enable is set to NO, the trip command resets when the protection trip elements
reset. If the breaker fails to open, and the fault has been cleared by an upstream breaker, the
Trip Output contact will be destroyed attempting to interrupt the breaker trip coil current.
6.7.2 Breaker Open and Close Failure Time

For manual operations as for those generated by the protection or Reclose units, the non
reception of the breaker change of status, after the operation order has been emitted, within the
time of Operation Failure (adjustable independently for the opening and the closure), induces
the activation of the Opening Order Failure or Closing Order Failure signals. If the Closing
Order Failure signal is generated before breaker closure during a reclose cycle, it will cause
the Recloser to block.
The equipment will maintain the closing or opening order for the time indicated in this setting if
the operation is not executed before that time has elapsed.
6.7.3 Manual Closing through Recloser

As it has already been mentioned in paragraph 6.6.3 about the Recloser, there is a possibility to
close the breaker through the Recloser Logic, so that it is this logic that decides the closure.
For this to occur, it is necessary to set the Closure setting through the Recloser on YES (box
ticked).
6-21
BIRD1102A
6.8 Trip and Close Coil Circuit Supervision

This function will initiate an alarm if either the trip or close coil circuits are open circuited or there
is a loss of DC control voltage. Supervision is achieved in both the open and closed positions of
the circuit breaker. The supervision function generates two outputs, Trip Coil Circuit
Supervision Failure (FCD) and Close Coil Circuit Supervision Failure (FCC). These two
outputs can be assigned to any of the programmable Auxiliary Contact Outputs.
The Trip and Close Coil Circuit Supervision functions can be independently disabled. The block
diagram depicting this feature (in the open breaker condition) is shown in Figure 6-12.
Figure 6.12: Trip/Close Coil Circuit Supervision Block Diagram.
6-22
BIRD1102A
6.8.1 Trip Coil Circuit

In Figure 6-12 (Breaker Open), input IN-5 is energized through the internal resistor R3. Input IN-
6 is not energized since the voltage at terminal B17 (8IRD) / 75 (3IRD) is less than pickup
because the resistance of R1 is larger than that of the trip coil. In this situation Trip Coil Circuit
Supervision with 52 Closed (SSP-1) is active and Trip Coil Circuit Supervision with 52
Open (SBAIA) is inactive, causing Trip Coil Circuit Supervision Failure (FCD) to be inactive.
If the trip coil opens, the input IN-6 is energized and the SBAIA signal is activated, causing
deactivation of the output of the exclusive OR gate and 5 seconds later the activation of the Trip
Coil Circuit Supervision Failure (FCD) signal.
When the circuit breaker is closed, the status of the 52/a and 52/b contacts will change and
consequently (assuming the trip coil is not open circuited) inputs IN-6 and IN-5 will be inverted
as well as the SSP-1 and SBAIA signals. However, the FCD output will remain deactivated
since both inputs at the exclusive OR gate have different logic values.
The purpose of the 5 second time delay is to compensate for the time gap between the closing
of the 52/a and opening of the 52/b contacts. In general, SSP-1 and SBAIA signals will not
change their states simultaneously and a transient logic “0” will appear at the output of the
exclusive OR. When this disagreement lasts less than 5 seconds this “0” will not modify the
state of FCD.
If the trip coil circuit is opened while the breaker is closed, input IN-5 is energized and SSP-1 is
activated initiating the deactivation of the output of the exclusive OR gate and 5 seconds later,
activation of the Trip Coil Circuit Supervision Failure (FCD) signal.
If a trip occurs while the breaker is closed and the breaker opens reversing the status of the
52/a and 52/b contacts, the FCD signal will not be activated regardless of the time duration of
the trip command. If the breaker did not execute the command, the FCD signal is activated in 5
seconds.
If the DC control voltage disappears, the inputs that are energized reverse their state.
Consequently, the inputs of both exclusive OR gates become inactive, initiating activation of
both Trip and Close Coil Circuit Supervision Failure Outputs (FCD and FCC).
When the supervision function detects an open circuit in the trip circuit and therefore the inability
to initiate a trip, Manual Close breaker operations processed through the terminal unit will not be
permitted.
6.8.2 Close Coil Circuit

The explanation given for the trip coil circuit also applies to the close coil circuit, with the close
coil, the relevant operation circuit, and changing opening orders for closing orders.
It is also necessary to take into account that for the Close Coil Circuit the activation time is
about 20 sec, instead of the 5 sec for the Trip Coil Circuit.
6-23
BIRD1102A
6.8.3 Trip/Close Coil Circuit Supervision Input Programming

The characteristics of the Status Contact Inputs (IN-6, IN-8, IN-5, IN-7) used for Trip and Close
Coil Circuit Supervision functions are different from standard Status Contact Inputs. These
characteristics are determined by the four jumpers located on the protection board and called
JP-2, JP-1, JP-4 and JP-3 for 3 IRD models and J2, J5, J1 and J6 for 8IRD models. These are
associated with the IN-6, IN-8, IN-5 and IN-7 inputs respectively. If the terminal unit is provided
with an additional printed circuit board for the protection subsystem, the jumpers are placed on
the printed circuit board that contains the power supply. To use the inputs for the supervision
functions connect the jumper links in the SUP position (see Figures 5.1 and 5.2).
The Status Contact Inputs associated with the Trip and Close Coil Circuit Supervision
functions are made using the programmable inputs software menu. The programmable inputs
software menu enables the assignment of IN-6, IN-8, IN-5 and IN-7 to SBAIA, SBCIC, SSP-1
and SSP-3 signals respectively. The association made in Figure 6-12 is:
IN-6→SBAIA IN-8→SBCIC IN-5→SSP-1 IN-7→SSP-3

SBAIA (Trip Coil Circuit SBCIC (Close Coil SSP-1 (Trip Coil Circuit SSP-3 (Close Coil
Supervision with 52 Circuit Supervision with Supervision Power Circuit Supervision
Open) 52 Open) Output 1) Power Output 3)
The Trip and Close Coil Circuit Supervision functions operate separately. If only one coil is
monitored, the other Status Contact Inputs can be used for other functions if the printed circuit
board jumper links are modified.
6.8.4 Trip/Close Output Supervision

The Trip and Close Coil Circuit Supervision functions described are also used to monitor the
Auxiliary Contact Outputs used for the trip and close signals:
Trip Coil Circuit Supervision → Trip Output Supervision

Close Coil Circuit Supervision → Close Output Supervision
Signal FSP-1 indicates

that the terminal unit trip
output contact failed to
operate properly. This is
determined by monitoring
the logic “trip” command
generated within the
microprocessor and the
status change of input
IN-5 (SSP-1). A 50
msec. time delay is
provided to allow for
pickup of the tripping
contacts.
Figure 6.13:Trip/Close Output Supervision Block Diagram.
The close output is monitored in a similar manner. Signal FSP-3 indicates an improper close
operation.
6-24
BIRD1102A
6.9 Breaker Monitoring

IRD terminal units record the interrupting current for each trip of the associated breaker and
accumulate it as amperes squared (I2). This number is proportional to the accumulated power
actually interrupted by the breaker.
When a trip is initiated, the largest of the three phase primary currents is recorded and then
stored as I2. The current measurement period is between trip initiation and breaker opening.
When the breaker is opened manually, either through the terminal unit or by external means,
the value accumulated is equivalent to the square of the time Overcurrent pickup setting.
Once the value established for the Alarm Level of I2 is reached, the function activates the Σ I2
Alarm Level signal that can be used to activate a programmable Auxiliary Contact Output. When
activated, this output is captured by the sequence of events recorder.
This function has two settings:
- Σ I 2 Alarm Level.
- Σ I 2 Cumulative Present Value.
The Cumulative Present Value is updated each time a breaker opening operation takes place.
It represents a base to which successive interruption values are added. This setting can be
modified by the user to set an initial value into a newly installed terminal unit to match the
history of an existing breaker. The value may also be reset to zero after major breaker
maintenance has been completed.
6.9.1 Excessive Number of Trips

The Excessive Number of Trips function is intended to interrupt an uncontrolled sequence of
openings and closings that could damage the breaker. When a certain number of trips have
occurred, adjustable between 1 and 40 in a definite time period (30 minutes), an output signal is
generated that can be connected to operate one of the physical Auxiliary Contact Outputs.
This output will disable any further reclose initiation by placing the unit in Recloser Lockout
Due To Open Breaker Status. This condition will reset only after a Manual Close Command
or a loss of auxiliary power.
6-25
BIRD1102A
6.10 Change Settings Group

Protection, Logic and Recloser Settings are stored in three groups (Group 1, Group 2 and
Group 3) which can be activated or deactivated from the keypad or communications port, or by
using external Status Contact Inputs.
The Setting Group Control function allows the user to modify the active Setting Group by means
of Status Contact Inputs. This feature enables quick modification of the protection settings when
circumstances require a change. Use of this function requires that the protection setting groups
be pre-programmed.
Change of setting group using the HMI will be explained in Chapter 7, Keypad and
Alphanumeric Display. Using local communications this change is carried out with the setting
Activate table (Settings Menu).
Change of setting group using the communications port or digital input need of a specific
enabling by an option in the Configuration menu (Operations – Remote Setting submenu) of
HMI. Both options are simultaneously incompatible.
The value of E_DIG should be set to “1” (YES) to enable group setting changes to be made
from the status contact inputs. If E_DIG is set to “0”, the terminal unit will remain in the last
setting group selected, independent of the activity of the Status Contact Inputs. When Setting
Group Control by status contact is enabled, no setting changes can be made from the keypad of
the local RS232 communications port. If the Change Settings option on the Main Menu is
selected from the keypad, the display indicates Access Denied.

• Organization of Event Record

The Event Record keeps a list of the last 100 events generated, where new events replace the
oldest events. The saved information in each of the records includes:
- Phase and Ground current and voltage measured at the moment the event was
generated.
- Event date and time.
- Event description.
The organization of the record is such that simultaneous events generated by the same function
will not occupy separate records, and will use only one position of the event memory.
Simultaneous events are those that occur separately within a time interval of 1ms, which is the
resolution time of the recorder.
It is necessary to remember that the possibility exists to mask those events that are not
necessary. The events can be masked by communications, within General Settings.
Important: It is convenient to mask those events which could be generated in excess,

given that the record could be filled (100 events) with these and erase other previous
events that are more important.
• Consulting Records
From the HMI of the unit, the information for the event record can be accessed following the
sequence Information - Records - Event Records (without needing the password). Chapter 7
offers the related information to consult the event record using the HMI.
The communications program ZiverCom®, has an access system for the event record. The
information appears separately for each of the events in the table. If the IED provide
oscillographic register the Event Records consulting only can be effectuated via
communications.

BIRD1102A
6.12 Fault Reports

The terminal incorporates Fault Reports where the most relevant fault information is stored.
Access to this information is available through the communication ports. The information stored
in each fault report is listed below:
• Via Communications
Fault Initiation Time Tag. Corresponds with the time when the first element involved in the
fault picked up. Also included:
- Pre-fault currents. The 3-phase and ground current values, two cycles before the fault
started.
- Pickup Units (according to model) for Full Fault Duration.
Trip Order Tag corresponds the date and time of the trip order. Also included:
- The 3-phase and ground Current values, 2’5 cycles after unit pickup.
- Tripped Units (according to model).
Fault End Time Tag corresponds at the moment (date and time) when the last element
involved in the fault resets. Also included:
- Open Current by the Breaker: it’s the maximum registered phase current between the
moment of the trip command and the fault end time (by breaker opening or by opening
order failure).
Each Fault Report specified the active group at the trip moment.
• By HMI
All of the above information is stored in memory and available through both communications
ports; however, only the following data is accessible for each fault report from the terminal unit
display:
- Fault Initiation Time Tag. Corresponds with the time when the first element involved in
the fault picked up.
- Trip Order Time Tag.
- Fault End Time Tag. Corresponds to the time when the last element involved in the
fault resets.
- Generating Element of Trip and Elements Picked Up for full fault duration.
Chapter 7 offers the related information to consult the fault report using the HMI. If the IED
provide Oscillographic Register, the Fault Report can’t be effectuated by HMI.

6.13 Metering History Log

This function records periodic values of the current. The terminal samples all three phase
currents every second and then calculates an average value for each phase over the interval
defined as the Averaging Calculation Time Interval. This time interval is adjustable from 1 to 15
minutes. At the end of the interval the phase with the highest value is retained.
At the end of the recording period, called the Data Record Interval, which is adjustable between
1 minute and 24 hours, the maximum value retained from each Averaging Calculation Time
Interval is entered in the Current History Record.
TM:

Interval; the
figure shows
the value of
TM to be
equal to one
minute.
TR: Data
Recording
Interval; the
figure shows
TR to have
a value of
15 minutes.
Figure 6.14: Metering History Log Diagram.
In each TM window, there are two VM values that correspond to the maximum and minimum
averages, considering the three phases. In each TR interval, the maximum and minimum values
of all the computed VM values are taken. The outline of current in Figure 6.14 would give the
following record of values: VR1-Vr1-F1, VR2-Vr2-F2, VR3-Vr3-F3, VR4-Vr4-F4 and VR5-Vr5-
F5.
Note: if during the sample interval, phase or ground units pick up, the recorded value is the average of the
measures taken during the time in which the units have not been picked up. On the contrary, if the units remain
picked up during all the interval, the recorded value is: 0A.
The available memory for the History Record is the typical RAM, with a capacity corresponding
to 168 values (equivalent to 7 days in intervals of 1 hour). With the goal of adapting the memory
use to the application of every user, the Days of the Week and Hours Trip can be enabled
within the defined days (the same interval schedule for all days) in addition to those that do not
register a value.
Access to the information about the Current History Record is available through the following
sequence: Information - Records - Current History. This is explained in Chapter 7,
Alphanumeric Keyboard and Display. It the IED has Oscillographic Register, this information
only will be available through communications.
6-33
BIRD1102A
6.14 Oscillographic Register (Optional)

The oscillography is composed of two different functions: Capture and View. The first refers to
the capture and storage of protection data in the terminal unit. Capture is a part of the relay
software. View refers to the collection and graphical display of the stored data. This is
performed by ZiverCom® communication program run by a PC connected to the terminal unit.
Depending on the model there is a possibility of storing the oscillographic records in RAM
memory (non volatile) with an additional battery so that the information can be kept up to 1
month with the unit's auxiliary supply turned off. In this type of device there is a procedure that
allows to delete at any time the stored oscillographic records.
• Capture function
An analog record is stored each time a sample is taken. Status Contact Input signals are only
stored by the Event Record function.
• Stored Data
The following data is stored with a resolution time equal to the sampling rate:
- Analog values of the samples selected for recording.

- Starting time of the Oscillographic Record.
• Number of Channels
Depending on the model, up to nine analogic channels can be used, with the ability to activate
or de-activate the channels as required with the relevant setting.
Some devices in addition to analogue channels, have the possibility to retrieve the digital
channels (there are as many digital channels as are configurable logic outputs).
Once an Oscillographic Record has been stored in the relay, its retrieval can be done with a
maximum of 72 digital channels. There is a possibility of retrieving the same Oscillographic
Record as many times as one wants, each time setting different digital channels. In this case,
the relay communication program ZiverCom® sends a message to the user indicating that this
Oscillographic Record has already been retrieved so that the user is aware that in his list of
Oscillographic Records there will be various ones with the same time tag corresponding to the
beginning of the record.

BIRD1102A
• Recording Mode
The following Recording Modes are selectable: Fixed Time YES (Fixed Time Mode) and Fixed
Time NO (Variable Time Mode). In the first mode, Fixed Time YES, recording begins when the
Start function is activated. Recording stops when the pre-determined Record Length set by the
user is reached. In the second Mode, Fixed Time NO, recording begins when the Start
Function is activated. Recording stops when the Start Function is de-activated.
• Start Function
The Start Function consists of a programmable mask which can be applied to permit recording
to start after selected internal logic output signals or the External Oscillographic Start Logic
Input Signal. The External Oscillographic Start signal can be assigned to any of the physical
Status Contact Inputs.
This Start Function Control Mask is connected to each protection element within the relay. Only
connections that are enabled by the mask settings will activate the oscillography Start Function.
The activation occurs when any of the selected protection elements pick up, and de-activation
occurs when all selected elements are reset.
• Start Time (Pre-Fault Time)
Pre-Fault is the storage time before the activation of the Start Function.
• Oscillographic Record Length
It’s defined as the duration time of the store window at the Fixed Time Mode.
• Number of Records
The Number of Records stored in memory varies and depends on the number of channels
recorded and on the length of the fault records.
Once the recording memory is full, the Overwrite setting determines whether or not the next
event that occurs is stored over the oldest stored record (s). If the Overwrite setting has been
set to YES and as the new records vary in length, old records will get canceled depending on
the space required by the new record.
6-35
BIRD1102A
• Record Storage Modes

Start Mode: Recorded data is stored whenever the Start Function is activated. For Fixed Time
Mode [Fixed Time (YES)] recorded data is stored for a time determined by the Record Length
Setting. For Variable Time Mode [Fixed Time (NO)] recorded data is stored while the Start
Function is activated.
Trip Mode 1: Recorded data is stored in memory only if a trip occurs. For Fixed Time Mode
[Fixed Time (YES)] recorded data is stored in memory only if a trip occurs within the time set for
the Record Length. If a trip occurs after this time has expired, no record is stored. For Variable
Time Mode [Fixed Time (NO)] recorded data whenever the Start Function is active in addition to
the pre-fault data.
Trip Mode 2: For Fixed Time Mode [Fixed Time (YES)] recorded data is stored in memory only
if a trip occurs within the time set for the Record Length. If no trip occurs within the time set for
the Record Length, only 4 cycles of recorded data will be stored after the Start Function is
activated.
For Variable Time Mode [Fixed Time (NO)] if no trip occurs while the Start Function remains
active, only 4 cycles of recorded data will be stored after the Start Function is activated. If a trip
occurs while the Start Function is active, recorded data will be stored during the whole time the
Start Function remains active in addition to the pre-fault data.
Note: For the elements in which reset time can be long, it is recommended to set Fixed Time on YES.
It is reminded that information recorded during the time set as Pre-Fault Time is always stored.
• Overwrite
If the Overwrite setting has been set to NO, no more records will be stored once the
oscillography memory is full. In that situation, set Overwrite on YES so that new records can
get stored.
If the Overwrite setting has been set to YES, once the memory is full, the next record will
replace the oldest record that is erased.

6.15 Inputs, Outputs and LED Targets

IRD-A/J terminal units are provided with programmable inputs, outputs and LED‘s enabling user
configuration of flexible logic designs. The following paragraphs contain a description of the
programming structure to configure protection inputs, outputs and signaling. Factory default
settings may be modified using the ZiverCom® software program.
6.15.1 Inputs
The terminal unit metering elements, and logic functions use the Logic Input Signals listed in
Table 6-2 below. Any of these Logic Input Signals can be assigned to one of the eight Status
Contact Inputs of the terminal unit. The closure of a contact will thereby activate those Logic
Input Signals assigned to it. Several different Logic Input Signals can be assigned to one Status
Contact Input, but a given Logic Input Signal can only be assigned to one Status Contact Input.

6.15.2 Auxiliary Outputs and Trip Contact Outputs

• Auxiliary Outputs
The IRD-A/J models have 8 physical outputs, seven configurable, and 8 virtual outputs, seven
configurable. If there is an enlargement trip coil circuit, the virtual signal will be physical signals.
The terminal unit protection, reclosing and monitoring functions generate a series of Logic
Output Signals during terminal unit operation. Each of these signals has either a “True” or
“False” value and this status (or its negation by using the “not” input(s) to the “OR” and “AND”
logic gates) can be used as an input to either of the combinational logic gates shown in Figure
6-15. The desired final “AND” or “OR” output from the logic cell can then be connected to any
one of the seven programmable Auxiliary Contact Outputs (AUX-1 through AUX-7) available in
the terminal unit.
Each block has 8 possible input signals. One of them is an OR gate (one activated signal
activates the output) and the other is an AND gate (all signals are needed to activate the
output). Between these two blocks both OR and AND operations can be executed. To the result
of this operation, can be applied the option to produce a pulse signal or not, in the following
manner.
• Without Pulses: setting the pulse timing at “0”, the auxiliary contact output is active while
the signal that has activated it lasts.
• With Pulses: once the auxiliary contact output has been activated, it maintains itself the
set time independently from the fact that the signal which generated it becomes not
longer active or stay active during a longer period.

99 E1T1 Physical Input 1 (circuit board 1)
106 E8T1 Physical Input 8 (circuit board 1) Active outputs depend on the
107 E1T2 Physical Input 1 (circuit board 2) corresponding input.
The outputs are configured at the factory, but can be modified by the user using ZiverCom®
program through the local communications port.
• Trip and Close Outputs

The protection subsystem has two physical operate outputs, with two contacts, both normally
open. One of this outputs it’s assigned to the logic output called Open. This output is active
when the IED trip and when there is a open breaker manual operate and it’s active, in all cases,
by 100 ms minimum.
The second physical output it’s assigned to the Close logic output. This output is active when
the Recloser does a reclose command and when the breaker close manually.
• Breaker Operation
Manual trip and close operations can be performed through the terminal units using the same
Trip and Close Output contacts described above. These operations can be enabled using the
Operation Enable setting (Configuration settings). Manual operation is designed to require
confirmation before trip or close commands are completed.
The terminal unit is designed to confirm that the breaker has changed state. A Breaker Open
and a Breaker Close Failure Time can be programmed for trip and close operations. Open
Command Failure or Close Command Failure alarms are generated if the breaker response
is too slow.

6.15.3 LED Targets

IRD terminal units are provided with 5 optical indicators (LEDs) located on the front panel, 4 of
them are configurable and the fifth corresponds to IED “In Service”. The configurable LEDs can
be 12 with an extension board (in case of ½ rack 3IRD models).
Each of the configurable LEDs is associated with a combinational logic function whose block
diagram is represented below in Figure 6.16. The function is similar to the auxiliary outputs,
keeping in mind that, one of the two blocks has eight inputs and realizes an OR gate, while the
other has one input and can realize an OR or AND gate.
Figure 6.16: LED Target Output Logic Cell Block Diagram.
Each indicator can be defined as latched or unlatched. In the case where the LED is latched, it
appears illuminated until reset. By means of the keypad, (see Chapter 7 Alphanumeric Keypad
and Display) the order to reset the LEDs can be executed using the key F2.
The latching function resides in the volatile memory section of the microprocessor. A power
supply loss to the unit will cause any latched LED to reset.
The LEDs can be programmed to any of the available logic outputs indicated in table 6-3. The
programming of the LEDs has been done at the factory, but can be modified by ZiverCom®
through a local communications port.

6.16 Communications
6.16.1 Communications Settings
The communications adjustments are described in detail in Chapter 5 (Settings) and are related
to Terminal Address, Baud Rate, Stop Bits and Parity.
6.16.2 Communications Types

The IRD’s has two types of communications ports: one RS232C in the front that is fixed, and
another port in back which has connections for Glass Fiber Optic cable, 1mm Plastic Fiber Optic
cable, RS232C and RS485. The technical details about communications can be found in
Chapter 2 (Technical Characteristics).
6.16.3 Communication with the Unit

Communications through these ports can be done with the communications program,
ZiverCom®, which poles the terminal in protection mode. The ZiverCom® program allows
dialogue with the IRD family of terminals as well as other equipment, either locally (through a
PC connected to the front port) or remotely (via back port). ZiverCom® covers all the
necessities for programming, adjustments, records, files, etc. is protected against unauthorized
TM
users by access codes. ZiverCom® runs in WINDOWS and utilizes easy to use menus and
buttons to access the different menus.
The configuration of the remote communication ports can only be accessed through the HMI. It
is important that the adjustment for the local port is fixed at 4.800 bauds, 1 stop bit, and
adjustable parity, as indicated in Chapter 5.
In the model IRD exist two controllers; one is for the communications port so that several ports
can be established at one time.

7.1 Alphanumeric Display and Keypad

The liquid crystal display has 80 characters (4
rows with 20 characters per row) and displays the
alarms, adjustments, measurements, states, etc.
There are 4 auxiliary function keys below the
display. Figure 7.1 represents the arrangement of
the graphic display and the auxiliary function keys.
Figure 7.1: Alphanumeric Display.
• Default Display
The default display shows the IED model, date and time. It also shows, on the first row left, the
connection mode (if the communication is established) at the following mode:
[P1] Local connection (communication by frontal port).

[P2] Remote connection (communication by rear port).
• Keypad Associated with the Display
The keypad consists of 16 keys arranged in a 4 x 4 matrix.
Figure 7.2 shows the layout of the keypad.
In addition to the keys corresponding to the numbers (keys 0

to 9), there are selection keys (Ð and Ï), the confirmation
key (ENT), the exit key (ESC).and the contrast key ( ).
Keeping in mind that in the cases of the 8IRD models that do
not have a keypad, the HMI is reduced to only one key, [R],
designated to reset the four protection LEDs.
Figure 7.2: Keypad.
The access to the functions can be done by two different modes: using a single key (F2) or
using the keypad.

7.2 Keys, Functions and Operation Modes

The available keypad keys and alphanumeric display keys and their functions are described on
the following pages.
• Keypad
Confirmation Key
The ENT key is used to confirm an action: after a selection has been made, after
editing an adjustment or to move forward the list of records. After finishing an
operation (selection, change settings, information, etc.) press ENT again to return
to the previous screen.
Escape Key
The key ESC is used to exit a screen if the user does not wish to make a
modification to the setting or if you merely looked at a screen for information. In
either case pressing this system key returns the user to the previous screen.
Display Selection Keys

The selection keys advance or go backwards, to one of the existing options within
a menu or submenu. When there are more than four options within a menu, in the
lower right hand corner of the display appears an arrow (↓) indicating the other
options. These options can be reached by using the ↓ key, which allows the
display of the other options. Appearing then in the upper right hand corner of the
display, is an arrow (↑) that indicates the existence of the first options.
The key ↓ is also used to erase numbers within a setting when making
modifications. This function is only needed when changing a setting.
Contrast Key
Pressing this key adjusts the contrast for the display. The selection keys (↓↑)
modify the contrast value: a larger value = less contrast.
Pressing this key from any menu or submenu also returns the system directly to
the default screen.

• Function Keys
Pressing F1 confirms settings changes (when the equipment asks for confirmation
of the changes) or activates the default table of settings.
The F2 key is used to refer to information about the current measurements,

voltages and powers, the status of the Recloser can be changed, the last trip
indication reset, LEDs reset and Recloser counters. The entire sequence of
actions using Function Key F2 is explained in the following section.
The F3 key is used to display on the screen information about the event record,
and the octets that contain the function codes that the corresponding event has
generated.
The F4 key is used to cancel the changed settings (when the equipment asks for
confirmation of the changes) and to cancel the activation of the default table of
settings. F4 can, also, be used to reset the terminal.
CAUTION: A password and confirmation is required before proceeding with

the reset function, because all settings could be lost, making the activation
of the protection dangerous.
In the screens corresponding to the fault information, F4 is used to access the

information generated by the trip and the units that tripped to clear the fault.
• Options Access
The numeric keys (from 0 to 9) allow direct access to terminal’s settings, information,
measurements, etc. This direct access consists of pushing successively the identification
numbers that are displayed on the screen before each setting, or within a corresponding setting.

7.3.1 Last Trip Indication and Recloser Status

If a trip has occurred, the screen displays the associated elements. This information will
displays as follows:
T means TRIP and the following elements

indicates which elements initiated the last trip. If a
single protection element operated, only the first
line is used. If the protection elements were
involved, both lines are used.
Instantaneous Overcurrent Trip
IRD-A Model: IOC_XXXX
XXXX is replaced by the Phase or Ground elements that have generated the trip. For example,
a Two-Phase-to-Ground Fault (A to B to Ground) produces IOC_ABG.
IRD-J Model: I1_ XXXX / I2_ XXXX
I1 refers to Instantaneous 1 element; I2 refers to Instantaneous 2 element. XXXX is replaced by
the phase or ground elements that have generated the trip.
Time Overcurrent Trip: TOC_XXXX
XXXX is replaced by the Phase or Ground elements that have generated the trip. For example,
a trip due to an A Phase-to-Ground Fault produces TOC_AG.
Open Phase Trip: TEM_F
Residual Current Trip: TEM_R

8.1 General
Improper handling of electrical equipment is extremely dangerous; therefore, only skilled and
qualified personnel familiar with appropriate safety procedures and precautions should work
with this equipment. Damage to equipment and injury to personnel can result when proper
safety precautions are not followed. The following general safety precautions are provided as a
reminder:
• High magnitude voltages are present in auxiliary supply and metering circuits even after
equipment has been disconnected.
• Equipment should be solidly grounded before handling or operating.
• Under no circumstances should the operating limits of the equipment be exceeded
(auxiliary voltage, current, etc.).
• The auxiliary supply voltage (AC or DC) should be disconnected from the equipment
before extracting or inserting any module, otherwise damage may result.
The number, the type and the specific characteristics of the acceptance tests are model
dependent and are detailed in the following table.

8.1.1 Accuracy
The accuracy of the measuring instruments and test source signals (auxiliary power supply
voltage, AC currents and AC voltages) is fundamental in electrical testing. Therefore, the
information specified in the Technical Data section (2.1) of this manual can only be reasonably
verified with test equipment under normal reference conditions and with the tolerances indicated
in the UNE 21-136 and IEC 255 standards in addition to using precision instruments.
It is extremely important that there be little or no distortion (<2%) in the test source signals as
harmonics can affect internal measuring of the equipment. For example, distortions will affect
this IED, made up of non-linear elements, differently from an AC ammeter, because the
measurement is made differently in both cases.
It must be emphasized that the accuracy of the test will depend on the instruments used for
measuring as well as the source signals used. Therefore, tests performed with secondary
equipment should focus on operation verification and not on measuring accuracy.
8-2
BIRD1102A
8.2 Preliminary Inspection

Examine the following aspects to conduct the preliminary inspection:
• The relay is found in perfect physical condition, all of the parts are securely attached
and no assembly fasteners are missing.
• The model numbers and specifications agree with the equipment order.
8.3 Isolation Test

During isolation tests, if the integrity of the external cable harness is to be checked, remove the
connectors from the equipment. This will avoid possible damage to the connectors if the test is
not performed properly or if a short exists in the harness. Insulation tests have already been
performed at the factory.
• Common Mode
Short-circuit all of the terminals of the unit except those that relate to the power source: 79 (80),
81 (82), 83 (84) at 3IRD’s and C1, C2 and C3 8IRD’s. Also the ground terminal of the casing
should be disconnected. Then apply 2,000 Vac, during 1 min., between the interconnected
terminals and metal case.
• Between Groups
The isolation groups are formed for the current and voltage inputs, digital inputs, auxiliary
outputs, trip contacts, close contacts and power supply. Depending on the model, the groups
are formed as indicated in Table 8-1.
Table 8-1: Isolation Groups

8.4 Power Supply Test

Connect the power supply as indicated in the following table.
Table 8-2: Power Supply Test

Model VDC PROT CON1P CON2P
3IRD 79(+)-81(-) 41-37 41-39
8IRD C3(+)-C2(-) C6-C4 C6-C5
Test that when the equipment is found without power, the contacts designated by CON2P in the
table above are closed and the contacts designated by CON1P are open. Apply nominal power
test to see that the state of the contacts for CON1P and CON2P change and that the LED In
Service is on.
8.5 Metering Tests

For this test, prevent interrupting the current injection from the breaker to prevent tripping the
equipment. The metering performed by the equipment should be within the following margins:
Table 8-3: Current Metering Test

Applied Current Measured Value
X X ± 5%
Note: Interval for pickup and tripping within lower current ranges can be extended to X ±20 mA.
8.6 Phase and Ground Current Test

It’s recommended to proceed unit by unit, disabling those units that are not under test in that
moment. For the IRD-J, following tests are applied for instantaneous 1 and instantaneous 2
elements.
• Pickup and Reset
Set the desired pickup values for unit under test, and check its activation verifying the activation
of one digital output configured for this purpose. It is also possible to confirm its activation
checking the pickup flags on menu Information - Status - Units. It can also be checked that
tripping flag on selected menu is activated if unit trips.

Unit Setting Pickup Reset
Maximum Minimum Maximum Minimum
X 1.10 x X 1xX 1.05 x X 0.95 x X
8-4
BIRD1102A
• Operating Times
For this test use the trip contacts C7-C8 and C9-C10 (8IRD model) or 21-23 and 25-27 (3IRD
model).
Figure 8.1: Connection Diagram for the Time Metering Test.
Fixed or Instantaneous Time

Apply a current 20% larger than the pickup setting. The response time should correspond with
±5% or 25ms (whichever is better) of the selected time setting value. Keep in mind that the
setting at 0ms will have a response time of approximately 30ms.
Inverse Time
For each time/current characteristic, tripping time is given by the selected time dial setting and
the applied current (multiple of pickup current setting; see figures 6.1; 6.2 and 6.3). Tolerance is
±5% of the current value.
8-5
BIRD1102A
8.7 Open Phase Element Test

Put out of order all the Phase and Ground elements, verify that the Breaker is OFF and apply a
two currents system as follow:
Ia = 1/0º and Ib = 1/60º (the angles are inductive).
Set the unit to 0.2 I2/I1 and check that has not pick up. Increase the B phase current and check
that the unit pick up (pick up flag to “1”) with a current value, on the B phase, between 1.35 Aac
and 1.49 Aac. Apply a 1 Aac current to A phase and check that a trip occurred between 10.5 s
and 9.5 s, for a 10 s time setting. Verify that the tripped contact close.
8.8 Residual Current Element Test

Check that the pickup element (the pickup flag at "1") for a determined setting (X) when applied,
for the neutral input, between (X × 1.10 - X × 1) for low ranges, the pickup interval can extend
up to ± 20 mA. Apply a current of 2 X and check that it produces a trip in the amount of time
between (T × 1.05 - T × 0.95.) or T ± 25ms, T being the element time setting.
8.9 Breaker Failure Element Test

To test it, assign the logic outputs signal, the Breaker Failure Output (BF) to one of the Auxiliary
Contact Outputs. Disable all elements except for Phase and Ground Instantaneous Overcurrent
and Breaker Failure.
Set the Phase and Ground Instantaneous Overcurrent Pickup to 0.5A and set their Time Delay
to zero. Set Breaker Failure Time Delay to the desired value of current reposition and actuation
time. Produce a trip by applying 1A ac phase to ground to the Phase A and Ground Current
Analog Inputs, and maintain the current after the Phase and Ground elements trip. The Breaker
Failure element should operate between ± (0.025 s. or 5%) of the setting value. The operation
of the Breaker Failure element should activate the Auxiliary Contact Output.
Gradually reduce the current until the Breaker Failure element reaches a stable reset. Verify
that this occurs between ± 5% of the setting value.
8-6
BIRD1102A
8.10 Recloser Test

In order to test the Recloser, the following points are reminded:
- After manual closing, you must wait for the duration of the security time. If you do not
wait for that time before generating the trip, the Recloser will lockout.
- For the reclose sequence to start, the protection has to detect that the breaker is open,
and that no current flows through the phases before the starting time has concluded
(setting in the group of Recloser – Time Sequence Control).
- If the equipment is giving a fault in the breaker opening circuit, it will not carry out the
reclose, and will lockout.
- For the Recloser to carry out the complete sequence until its permanent fault status, the
trips have to be generated.
- It has to be taken into account if the rated voltage options and inhibition inputs, are
being used. Same remark for the units inhibitors and the trip and reclose masks.
Figure 8.2: Recloser Test Setup.
Figure 8.2 shows how to carry out the Recloser test. If the current generator did not cut the
injection before the starting time, the test can be carried out by opening the current circuit (by
opening the breaker itself o by simulating it), or by generating an instantaneous trip, using a
simple pulse. This way of action could be sufficient to cause the Instantaneous Element to trip,
and at the same time, to stop it from seeing the current circulating before starting time.
8-7
BIRD1102A
8.11 Digital Inputs, Auxiliary Outputs and LEDs Test

Connect the equipment to a suitable power supply (rated Vdc) through terminal connectors
according to model. In Service LED will illuminate.
• Digital Inputs
Apply the rated voltage between the input terminals, taking always into account the polarity of
the contacts.
Place yourself in the inputs screen of the Information menu (see Chapter 7, Alphanumeric
Keypad and Display) and verify that the inputs are activated (“1”). Switch the voltage off and
verify that the inputs get deactivated (“0”).
Trip and Close Circuits Monitoring Inputs
Once configured to the effect of the corresponding digital inputs, check that, without being
energized, these appear activated on the Information - Status – Digital Inputs screen or on
the ZiverCom® status screen.
The two circuit monitoring inputs, whether opening or closing, should not be at “1” or at “0”. If
this mistake were to happen, both inputs should be in different states.
• Auxiliary Outputs
To test the Auxiliary Outputs, you will have make them trip depending on how they have been
configured. If they do not have any configuration, the outputs can be configured as activation of
the physical inputs. That way at the same time as the inputs are being tested, correct tripping of
the output contacts from AUX1 to AUX7 is verified.
• LEDs
To test the LEDs, press the down arrow key F2 from the screen at rest until the LED targets
reset screen appears. Maintain the key pressed down until all the LEDs have been switched on.
Release the key and check that all the LEDs switch off.
8.12 Communications Test

To carry out the communication test, it is necessary to supply the equipment with its rated
voltage value and the In Service Led should then be switched on. Test will be performed
through local communications port, allocated on front panel. This port has the fixed settings that
follow:
Baud rate 4800 Bauds

Stop Bits 1
Parity 1 (even parity)
Connect to the terminal unit through the local communications port using a DB9 (9-pin) serial
connection wire. Synchronize time using the ZIVercom© software program. Disconnect the
communications wire and disconnect the terminal unit power supply and wait for two minutes.
Afterwards, connect the power supply and connect to the terminal unit through the remote
communications port. Activate the “cyclical” mode in the ZIVercom© software program and
verify that time actualizes properly.

A.2 Description of Operation

A.2.1 General Settings
• Event Masks
If the communications protocol defined for protection is PROCOME 3.0, the activation /
deactivation events of the directional elements will be masked by default.
If the directional elements are not in a stable situation they should not be unmasked. In the
specific case of the neutral directional, it should not be unmasked unless it is to analyze some
very specific situation.
A.2.2 Logic
• Pickup Report
The Fault Report is constructed as follows: it commences when a pickup occurs and ends when
the units are reset. The fault report file only makes an annotation if a trip occurs in the course of
the fault.
The Pickup Report setting allows selecting the option to make an annotation in the file without
a trip occurring. When the setting takes the value YES, the corresponding report is registered in
the fault report file without the need of a trip occurring.
A.2.3 Event Record

B.3 Description of Operation

B.3.1 DNP 3.0 Protocol
The models with the option DNP 3.0 communication protocol present the following configuration
settings:
• DNP Configuration Settings
MTU Address
Destination address of the Master device to which the unsolicited responses are to be sent.
Addresses 0xFFF0 to 0xFFFF are reserved as Broadcast Addresses. It is useful only when
Unsolicited Reporting is enabled.
RTU Address
Remote Terminal Unit Address. Addresses 0xFFF0 to 0xFFFF are reserved as Broadcast
Addresses.
Unsol Enable
Enables (YES) or disables (NO) sending spontaneous messages (Unsolicited); it is used in
combination with the MTU Number parameter. For the IRD relay to begin sending spontaneous
messages the master must also enable them with the Function Code FC = 20..
Time out N7
It specifies the time lapse (in milliseconds) from the time the IRD sends a message requesting
the master to confirm the Application layer (Level 7), until this confirmation is considered lost.
The IRV requests confirmation of the Application Layer when it sends spontaneous (Unsolicited)
messages or in response to requests for Class 1 or Class 2 Data. When this time expires, the
message is retransmitted the number of times specified in the N. Retries parameter.
Unsolicited Delay Reporting)
Delay between an event being generated and the subsequent transmission of the unsolicited
message, in order to group several events in one message and to save bandwidth.
N7 Retries
Number of retries of the Application Layer (N7). The default value is 0 (zero), indicating that no
retransmission will be attempted.
Pre-Transmission
Time setting which generates the number of warning characters.
Echo Control
The activation or deactivation of the transmission echo
Note: warning time and echo control settings are used to have various equipments connected to a concentrator
type CCY and working in multi-master mode.

BIRD1102A
• Metering Changes
16 analog metering bands (from 0 to 15) can be set. The setting represents the percentage over
the maximum value of the measure, that will be taken as reference to test if there is an
analogical change to record. In other word, a change will be recorded if the difference in the
analogical measures is greater than the set percentage.
If it is adjusted to 100%, analogical changes in this measure will not be recorded, which is then
understood as being in a deactivated state.

Notes:
A: The unit's level of implementation does not support this group and object variation or, for static objects, it
does not have objects with this group and variation. OBJECT UNKNOWN response (IIN2 bit 1 active).
B: No range of points is specified, and the unit does not have objects of this type. Null response (no IIN bit
active, simply no response is made to any object of the type specified).
C: The unit supports write operations on “time and date” objects. The “Time Synchronization-Required Internal
Indication” bit (IIN1-4) will be set to zero in the response.
D: The unit can be configured for sending or not sending unsolicited responses. There is a configuration option
accessible through the man-machine interface or front-panel user interface. Once the unsolicited option is
enabled, the master can enable or disable unsolicited messages (for classes 1 and 2) by means of requests (FC
20 and 21).
If unsolicited response mode is enabled, then after restarting the unit, it will transmit an initial Null unsolicited
response, requesting confirmation of the application layer. While awaiting the confirmation of the application
layer, the unit will respond to all request functions, including READ requests.
E: The “Restart Internal Indication” bit (IIN1-7) can be explicitly set to zero by the master.
F: The remote station, after receiving a Cold or Warm Start request, will respond by sending a “Time Delay Fine
object” message (which specifies an interval of time until the remote station will be ready for more
communications), reinitiating the process and setting bit DNP IIN1-7 (Device Restart).
G: The unit supports “Delay Measurement” requests (FC = 23). It responds with the “Time Delay Fine object”
(52-2). This object sets the number of milliseconds to transpire between the remote station's reception of the
first bit of the first byte of the request and the

BIRD1102A
• Specific Characteristics of the Unit

There is a "Time window" (Delay of Unsolicited Request setting) between the generation of an
event and the subsequent transmission of the unsolicited message. This is done to group
various events in a message and save bandwidth.
Internal Indication IIN1-6 (Device trouble): It activates to indicate a change in the current
DNP configuration of the remote station. It deactivates in the next response. It is used to let the
master station know that the DNP settings have changed in the remote station. Note that some
erroneous configurations could render it impossible to communicate this condition to a master
station.
This "Device Profile Document" also declares the DNP 3.0 settings available in the unit. If the
user changes any of these settings, the “Device Trouble Internal Indication” bit will activate in
the next response sent.
Event Files: the unit can store up to 50 “Binary Input Changes” and 50 “Analog Input Changes.”
If the unit's limits are reached, the “Event Buffers Overflow Internal Indication” bit will be enabled
in the next response sent. It will be disabled when the master reads the changes, making room
for new ones.
The measurements (16-Bit Analog Input) sent by communications depend on each control
model, and their scale readings are:
Type Of Measure Scale Reading Value Sent

Currents 6 AAC 32767 counts
Voltages 132 (50Hz) or 144 (60HZ) VAC 32767 counts
Powers ± 2376 (50Hz) or 2592 (60HZ W / Var / Va ± 32767 counts
Power factor ±1 ± 32767 counts
Frequency 40 – 70 Hz (With metering card: 0 – 72 Hz) 0 - 32767 counts
The scaling of the magnitude distance is:
- 20 % --- 100 % scaling to 0 --- 32767 (16 bits)
