Description

Description

1
The SIPROTEC 7SC80 feeder protection can be used for
protection and automation of medium-voltage distribution
feeders with grounded, low-resistance grounded, isolated,
or compensated neutral.
The SIPROTEC 7SC80 features “flexible protection functions”.
20 additional protection functions can be created by the
user. For example, a rate of change of frequency function or 2
a reverse power function can be created. The relay provides
circuit-breaker control. Additional primary switching devices
(grounding switches, transfer switches and isolating
switches) can also be controlled from the relay. Automation
or PLC logic functionality is also implemented in the device.
The integrated programmable logic (CFC) allows the user to 3

Construction and hardware

Housing with many advantages

1
The SIPROTEC 7SC80 has a complete other form factor than
all other SIPROTEC Compact devices. All interfaces are at the
left and right hand side of the relay. A small print onto the
enclosure next to the clamps describes each port in detail.
All clamps are pluggable and therefore a pre-wiring and

2
easy replacement in case of maintenance is possible. A short
circuit is integrated in the pluggable CT clamp to avoid any
risk of unclosed secondary CT circuits. The first eight binary
inputs and the second four binary inputs have a common

secondary values of the CTs 1 A or 5 A can be set via DIGSI.

3 Operation panel/HMI
The relay features both a clip-on and a web-based operation
panel/HMI (web monitor) with 32 LEDs and 9 programmable Fig. 9/4  Process termial Fig. 9/5 Current terminal
keys that can be used to configure shortcuts for menu
operations or other applications (see Fig. 9/6).
4 The web monitor can be started just by entering the device
IP address in an internet browser. All device monitoring and
control functions are thus available in real-time through a
communication link. The access rights can be restricted. If

5
security requirements are more stringent, this function can
also be disabled completely.
The second web monitor view provides a graphic display
which represents control displays and also enables control
operations. Additionally, the web monitor gives access to

(Sensitive) directional ground-fault detection
(ANSI 59N/64, 67Ns, 67N)
For isolated-neutral and compensated networks, the direc-
tion of power flow in the zero sequence is calculated from
the zero-sequence current I0 and zero-sequence voltage V0.
For networks with an isolated neutral, the reactive current
component is evaluated; for compensated networks, the
active current component or residual resistive current is
evaluated.
For special network conditions, e.g. high-resistance
grounded networks with ohmic-capacitive ground-fault
current or lowresistance grounded networks with ohmic-
inductive current, the tripping characteristics can be rotated
approximately ± 45 degrees (see Fig.9/10).
Two modes of ground-fault direction detection can be
implemented: tripping or “signalling only mode”.
It has the following functions:
• TRIP via the displacement voltage VE
• Three instantaneous elements and four stantaneous
elements
• Each element can be set to forward, reverse or non-
directional
• The function can also be operated in the insensitive mode
as an additional short-circuit protection.

(Negative-sequence protection)

Breaker failure protection (ANSI 50BF)
If a faulted portion of the electrical circuit is not disconnected 4
when a trip command is issued to a circuit-breaker, another
trip command can be initiated using the breaker failure pro-
tection which trips the circuit-breaker of an upstream feeder.
5
Breaker failure is detected if, after a trip command is issued
the current keeps on flowing into the faulted circuit. It is also
possible to make use of the circuit-breaker position contacts
for indication as opposed to the current flowing through the
circuit-breaker.
High-impedance restricted ground-fault protection (ANSI
87N)
6
The high-impedance measurement principle is a simple
and sensitive method to detect ground faults, especially on
transformers. It can also be used on motors, generators and
reactors when they are operated on a grounded network. 7
When applying the high-impedance measurement principle,
all current transformers in the protected area are connected
in parallel and operated through one common resistor of
relatively high R. The voltage is measured across this resistor
(see Fig. 9/11).

If the relays are used in conjunction with electromechanical
relays, in networks with intermittent faults, the long dropout
times of the electromechanical relay (several hundred mil-
liseconds) can lead to problems in terms of time coordination/
grading. Proper time coordination/grading is only possible if
the dropout or reset time is approximately the same. This is
why the parameter for dropout or reset times can be defined
for certain functions such as overcurrent protection, ground
short-circuit and phase-balance current protection.
Undercurrent monitoring (ANSI 37)
A sudden drop in current, which can occur due to a reduced
load, is detected with this function. This may be due to shaft
that breaks, no-load operation of pumps or fan failure.
Overvoltage protection (ANSI 59)
The two-element overvoltage protection (possible per
phase)detects unwanted network and machine overvoltage
conditions. The function can operate either with phase-
to-phase, phase-to-ground, positive phase-sequence or
negative phase-sequence voltage.
Undervoltage protection (ANSI 27)
The two-element undervoltage protection provides protec-
tion against dangerous voltage drops (especially for electric
machines). Applications include the isolation of generators
or motors from the network to avoid undesired operating
conditions and a possible loss of stability. Proper operating
conditions of electrical machines are best evaluated with
the positive-sequence quantities. The protection function is
active over a wide frequency range (45 to 55, 55 to 65 Hz).
Even when falling below this frequency range the function
continues to work, however, with decreased accuracy. The
function can operate either with phase-to-phase, phase-
to-ground or positive phase-sequence voltage, and can be
monitored with a current criterion. Three-phase and single-
deviations. Unwanted frequency changes in the network
can be detected and the load can be removed at a specified
1
frequency setting. Frequency protection can be used over
a wide frequency range (40 to 60 (for 50 Hz), 50 to 70 (for
60 Hz)). There are four elements (individually set as over-
frequency, underfrequency or OFF) and each element can
be delayed separately. Blocking of the frequency protection
2
can be performed by activating a binary input or by using an
undervoltage element.
Fault locator (ANSI FL)
The integrated fault locator calculates the fault impedance
and the distance to fault. The results are displayed in Ω,
kilometers (miles) and in percent of the line length.
3
Customized functions (ANSI 32, 51V, 55 etc.)
Additional functions, which are not time critical, can be im-
plemented using the CFC measured values. Typical functions
4
include reverse power, voltage controlled overcurrent, phase
angle detection, and zero-sequence voltage detection.
Sectionalizer
This function can automatically isolate fault current sections
of a distribution circuit once an upstream breaker or recloser
has interrupted the fault current. The sectionalizer function
5
has no capacity to break fault current itself, so it is usually
needed as an alignment with recloser. When the recloser
opens for the last time, which has been preset to the
sectionalizer, the sectionalizer opens and isolates the faulty
section of line.
6
Further functions
Measured values
7
The Load profile function records historical measured
values. With this function, you can obtain a load profile with

8
phase connections are possible. desired data such as the measured values, demand values,
minimum/maximum values, and energy values of the cur-
1-pole operation rent, voltage, power, and frequency. The following functions
are available for measured value processing:
1-pole operation is optionally possible; switching objects
can be opened and closed for each phase. Furthermore,
1-pole tripping on a fault and automatic reclosing is possible
for each phase.
9
Frequency protection (ANSI 81O/U)
Frequency protection can be used for overfrequency and
underfrequency protection. Electric machines and parts
of the system are protected from unwanted frequency

evolved which reflect the different operator philosophies.
• Various phase angles
To do justice to these, the relay offers several methods:
• Power Watts, Vars, VA/P, Q, S (P, Q: total and phase selec-

Metered values
For internal metering, the unit can calculate an energy me-
6 tered value from the measured current and voltage values. If
an external meter with a metering pulse output is available,
the 7SC80 can obtain and process metering pulses through
an indication input. The metered values can be displayed
and passed on to a control center as an accumulated value

active and reactive energy.

Circuit-breaker wear monitoring/

Methods for determining circuit-breaker contact wear or
the remaining service life of a circuit-breaker (CB) allow CB
maintenance intervals to be aligned to their actual degree of
wear. The benefit lies in reduced maintenance costs.

Commissioning
Commissioning could not be easier and is supported by
DIGSI 4. The status of the binary inputs can be read individu-
ally and the state of the binary outputs can be set individu-
ally. The operation of switching elements (circuit-breakers,
disconnect devices) can be checked using the switching
functions of the relay. The analog measured values are
represented as wide-ranging operational measured values.
