– In Siprotec 4, the default password is 000000
– Hello friends. How to recover siemens relay 7sJ801 from monitor mode?
– Just turn off DC supply and turn on.
– Just In Monitor Mode, you can see the reset option in the drop-down list, please reset the relay and it will recover to the original. If It happened after the FW update, You have to initialize the device.

– plz tell me about PSB protection operated in brief.
– PSB function avoid a huge load of fault. as a matter of fact metering, DZ/DT.Since a fault is high speed but a load is a low speed or DZ/DT
– Performance monitoring reporting system In the MICOM Transformer relay manual it is mentioned that 41% of winding (Say 20% setting of In if CT secondary is 1 Amp) will be covered under differential protection and the balance 59% will be covered in REF protection for star winding connection transformer. My Query is how much winding will be covered in differential protection if transformer windings are delta connected Dd1.
– Is there any document available to understand how the current flows inside each branch of delta winding during the health conditions, during Phase to Phase fault, and during Phase to Earth faults?
– Please can you help out by briefly explaining, how the problem was resolved?
– if it is Dd Connection then REF can not be applied unless you use a zigzag transformer as a grounding transformer. if so then you will use the same percentage
– Hope License is the problem, please try with a Genuine License Number. but I did put a genuine key when asked during the DIGSI installation
– Hope, License might be utilized before and it might not be multiple user License. Please check with Siemens.


– I’m getting an error while installing DIGSI 4.91 in Windows 8.1 saying the operating system is not supported
– C&S make MRR1 rotor Earth fault relay is not giving any alarm when output is not connected but it’s giving alarm as soon as output wire is connected, What can be the cause
– is it a dry contact?
– Yes
– maybe the internal relay is powered by the control voltage itself. does it happen in other relays also?
– No
What type of relay is this? Try to avoid this type of msgs
– Output relay testing procedure is here in this manual

– Anyone experienced in MPD 600 for PD measurement
– Hi, how pilot advance transformer (PAT) works? How its connections will be? These transformers are used in rural agricultural feeders to ensure 3 phase power during non-peak hours and single-phase supply during peak hours. (single-phase supply for rural houses and three-phase for agricultural motors in farms).

– Please explain the time synch process in Simense relay using SNTP.
– Anti-pump relay
– Anti pumping to protect the closing coil

– Some switches come from the factory but you can also design logic.
– Some power switches.
– please anyone, how to read the ICD file for abb relay?
– Go to parameter settings then click on the file from the menu bar after that select export parameters and select which type of file you want to export
– Siemens 7sj8011, how can we change it?
– Through DIGSI Software
– Use DIGSI. Only by software DIGDI

– What is pre-close and post-close in trip circuit supervision, can anyone explain?
– This is for the trip circuit supervisor relay concept. Pre-close before closing the breaker trip circuit in healthy condition. Post close means after closing the breaker trip circuit healthy condition. This trip circuit supervisor relay check the trip circuit coil must be healthy in pre-close & post-close conditions. If the trip circuit fails protection relay give any trip commend it will not operate. That is why the protection scheme has two number trip circuit schemes. This is called pre-close & post-close.


– Please I looking for ABB RED 615 file setting for comparison.
– How to set Directional overcurrent protection?
– Very nice, also when mechanical protection operates. it will send the trip command directly to lockout without going through the main relay.
– Breaker is not working automatically. we need to press it manually for the operation of the pump.

– Breaker or contactor?
– Contactor
– we need the schematic diagram for the rectification
– Quickly check the float switch by force, if the supply is not reaching up to the contactor coil, then there may be a problem in the loop or float switch itself.

– Download the S1 studio password hash generator
– And set a password
– AAAA
– Please explain the function of the resistor connected series in tripping coil
– It’s the trip circuit supervision circuit. It limits the current through the trip coil below the pickup value.
– A diagram is not clear!
– Can we use single pole ac MCB in DC Circuit in negative polarity where positive polarity is grounded, dc system voltage is -48V. If the answer is yes then why?
– Brother MCB has nothing to do with voltage. In your specific circuit, whatever the voltage is, doesn’t affect MCB.
Any kind of circuit breaker works on Current and it will work fine unless your circuit is designed ok. Even then it wouldn’t be a circuit breaker that would be an issue but the design of the circuit.
– But I am asking about dc and ac MCB difference. Whether the can be used interchangeably
-Yes they can, I have used them But it depends on the insensitivity of your circuit as well.
if an MCB is designed for AC, it will trip sooner if used on DC, in case of fault. In normal conditions, it works fine
– What I think is all breakers are rated to work with all types of voltages in ac and dc.
– Only the short circuit capacity will change according to the voltage
– Some are dedicated to DC, their coil doesn’t get heated as fast as AC.
– Yes those are special breakers

– Anybody knows how to protect the three-phase ground earth fault?
For MV network. For single-phase, there are many ways but for a three-phase, we have a problem.

– I want to config distance relay model VAMP 259 but there is no option to enable fault locator. I can see the related option under the distance menu but nothing is submitted (in KM or Ohm), is there any way to enable fault locator?
– Three-phase to the ground will not detect as earth fault because no zero sequence or no current will flow in the neutral. It is just an over-current.

– A 132 kV SF6 circuit breaker rated for 220 volts aux. Voltage is to be used in a substation where 110 volts DC voltage is available. Please advise which changes are necessary to be made to the Circuit breaker.
– If you want to modify the equipment in the circuit breaker for 110v you need to change more equipment. Better try to connect the two 110v supplies in series
– When the available voltage is 110VDC, Change the following parts
1-closing coil one unit
2-tripping coil two units
3-all the dc contact relay.
Otherwise wise Manage 220VDC Indication Lamp

– I am trying to export Micom 442 set file into xrio format by using Schnider s1 studio, but IML cannot find xrio option in the export menu.

– You can go to setting file on the right side of software, and press right-click by mouse, and go to export setting, Rio
– I did it this way, but xrio option was not available. I think the software version does not have this option. But I am not sure.
– Anyone has a good document to understand ABTS and TOP.
– Anyone has a Method of statement For Transformer stability and Generator stability?

– Can you give me transformer testing IEC standards? If the SF6 in HV CBs becomes very low. What is the standard action in this case? does the CB trip or does it must be locked out? If it is locked out does any breaker failure must be initiated?
– Stage 1 alarm, stage 2 block. Block gas pressure <•5 Mpa. Block is no more operation, open or close.
If fault then if it is line Tele protection will activate if trafo feeder or normal feeder BF will operate.
– In 500 KV if stage 2 appears the breaker immediately trips! Is it correct or need discussion?
– In our scheme at 500 kV level, if stage 2 appears the breaker immediately trips, in my opinion, CB lockout must take place rather than the trip! Am I right?
– I have only experience up to 400 kv Siemens CB, second stage not trip from CB scheme. But PSB functions can make trips. I do not know PSD (Phase Synchronizing Device)

– We are getting Generator Rotor Earth Fault in Relay. How can we ensure that it is a false alarm
– this is dangerous to trip the CB in case of stage 2 appears. it may not be able to quench the arc properly as sf6. pressure is low. so it’s advised to block tripping in case stage 2 operates.
– If sf6 gas content is reduced breaker trip
– Level 1 OTTER TAIL
– Stage 2 trip must be a lockout, which means Breaker will trip and shouldn’t Close until SF6 Gas is refilled to the specified pressure.

– Lockout means one needs to reset the Lockout relay before closing Breaker.
But don’t reset until the gas is refilled to the required pressure. Nominal pressure for 132kV is 5.6 bars absolute.

– Does Micom P741 and P742 need separate software for the PSL edition?
– No, s1 studio can do it.
– but if I want to edit a single-line map of the substation?
– In this case, you must use topology editor for Mmicom
– Do you have any applications for that?
– IEC 60076
– If you want to go with diagnostic testing for transformer please refer to C37.152

– anybody has a serial number for the Micom topology editor or can edit SDL for Micom p741?
– In Micom S1 studio, while uploading PSL files to relay, we get three options, the First is Enhanced logic only, the second Logic only, third Full form. My question is what is the difference between these three options?
– The difference is in the settings updated with the PSL update.

– In the below attachment, the Generator Stator earth fault is detected by connecting Neutral side NGT secondary voltage in series with Phase side open delta voltage which is derived through external IVT. The query is how this works and what will be the output voltage of this combination which is measured by the MICOMP345 relay.
– Someone had omicron test templates cmc356, for overcurrents, differential, etc, and also some good bibliography for generator protection.

– Does anybody have a protection relay testing handbook

– I have a problem with the earth’s fault. We have used Siemens o/c relay which is functioning very well for o/c,e/f, and s/c. For the earth fault whenever it’s happened either one or two phases it’s working, but whenever it’s 3phase. the relay is not working.
– Always trips with 3phase faults?
– For another fault it’s ok but the 3 phase Earth fault is not detected by primary current injections each phase individually functioning.
– What are the magnitudes and angles of the 3 phase currents you injected for the test?
– What SIEMENS OC relay model?
-7SJ601, Version 3
– The earth fault setting for stage one I> 15A. If faults are even 20A no functioning. 3 phase fault is not an earth fault. even if 3 phases to earth will not detect by earth fault protection.
– If you inject three equal magnitudes with 0,120,-120. the earth’s fault will not function even if it is more than the earth’s fault setting. While you are injecting current, check relay measurements and make sure that the neutral current exceeds the setting value (15A). If the current exceeds the setting then you have to check whether the directional function is enabled or not. Also sometimes you need to check the earth fault calculation method if it’s measured or calculated. Finally check the current connection to the relay. Make sure that the current circuit loop is closed
– balance values will not initiate the earth fault function.
– I agree that the balance magnitude will not result in earth fault. Check the neutral current flow
– The 3phase fault is considered a balance three-phase fault so no earth fault will detect, you need active o/c protection. Even if E/F operates with a three-phase fault it will be due to unbalance not a real earth fault.
– Just reduce the setting for testing purposes and inject the current in all three phases monitor the neutral current flow now increase the current value in only one phase until the neutral current value reaches your setting value it will trip according to the curve. Check the setting whether it is nondirectional.
– Hope you are testing the directional earth fault. Check the voltage magnitude which you are injecting into the relay.. it shouldn’t be zero. Most relays require a minimum of 3Volt for sensing the right direction suggest giving 10V in the Y and B phase and 5V in the R phase and injecting the fault current above the setting.
– if the three currents are not shifted between them by 120 degrees, even if they have the same amplitude, it will trip because the vector sum of the three phases becomes different from zero. (Io # 0A)

– I am facing a problem with Siemens 7SJ8041 When Relay Trips on Under Voltage and Voltage comes back to normal and I try to reset the Relay Binary outputs and Leds then the relay does not reset. I have to go into the Test and diagnostic menu and have to reset the whole relay from there. any solution?
– check the drop-out ratio of the relay. normal drop out is 1.2 for under-voltage.

– Secondly in 7s8041 Relay does not trip on Reverse Power
– check additional functions available or not?
-Yes available and setting at 166.5W. It is available in u/v settings. But you need a Laptop and active additional settings

– If anyone this relay manual English electric, CDG31FF8051JL(M), electromagnetic relay kindly reply me
– If a transformer is protected with both REF (64REF) and Differential (87) as we know REF is more sensitive than 87 and operate for the unprotected winding near the neutral side. My question: is any 87 trip means also a REF trip at the same time?
– No, REF only responds for earth faults inside the zone. if the fault is not related to the earth then the only differential will operate in the case of earth faults, both can trip the transformer( the faster will trip first), and if the transformer has high impedance grounding, the earth fault near the star point ( less than 40% of winding) may not initiate 87 ( when you apply slope and operation and restraint) in this case, only REF will operate. Right?
– Yes, this is right. And this is why we use REF together with Diff protection.

– What is the difference between high impedance and low impedance when dealing with Differential and REF protections?
– The high impedance method uses an impedance in series with the operating coil of the relay. The impedance value is chosen to damp the current of the relay under setting current in the case of the worst fault (a fault near cts with one ct saturated). The low impedance method uses a restraint coil to dampen the current of the operating coil in the case of the worst fault. The relay will trip when the operating coil current is maximum than the restraint coil current.
– In which condition the operation of 52PD, pole discordance protection will be blocked?
– the pole discrepancy is an arrangement of controls, typical of the power switch.
– It is already blocked by time. if PD happens it must operate after 2.5 seconds.

– In which cases and configuration I must install and program “inter trip signal protection “in case of transformer protection?

– PD trip function is normally blocked by any pre-scheduled single-pole operation of CB like single pole auto reclosing or manual opening of a single pole of CB.
– in the monopolar switch the discrepancy time must exceed the reclosing time.

– I have a 7sj62 Siemens relay and it’s going to monitor mode then I tried to initialize the Dex file not succeed and activated device reset from the HMI after that it’s gone again monitor mode and relay restarting automatically when power on
– Hopefully by upgrading Firmware Version, it may work fine, kindly contact Siemens and ask for an updated firmware version. you must initialize the device with the digsi.
– Please share experiences and knowledge about “power swing blocking” in distance protection
– Hi guys, I need help setting up an auto recloser on the Sepam series 20 relays. In double bus bar protection, what is the difference between single CT and Double CT methods for bus coupler

How to tackle DC-link over Voltage faults In VFD. Application HVAC chilled pumps. G120

  1. increase the DC overvoltage fault limit to 130%. default is 125%. but this solution may lead to stress VFD which may lead to some future issues.
  2. Update ur firmware to the latest. It will work right away
    – old versions are not prone to motor oscillations which in case u free run a motor may oscillate. in which frequency band u r facing overvoltage?
    – Really I just retrieved data from the customer. But from where I can find it
    – siemens website.
    – No, frequency band
    – run the motor. increase speed slowly. you’ll start hearing sizzling sound in a particular band

– Can anybody tell whats the max current in which we can use MCCB only for load break?
– Cable size 300sq mm
– That’s due to thermal effects. The thermal tripping point would go down after each tripping and if tripping takes place at 370 A after 2 hours, the MCCB might trip at 350 or even below (may) after every one and a half hours or even earlier
– Then what solutions shall we change this MCCB if yes what would be the rating. any other solution instead of MCCB because it’s placed in between transformer secondary side and LT panel.
– Check the tightness of each bolt Properly torque it.
– Phase sequence is ok my site is running fine load is 240 kw. 240 kW? rate amp is 408 amp. This is a connected load but running is 225 kW

– Please I need to communicate with argus 1 relay over current reyrolle by rs 485
– You can not extract. The only vendor that can give you
– You can edit in ziver cid
– Sir I don’t have CID, then how can I edit?
– Arrange to take from the vendor. If you don’t have CID then get it from ziver CID soft. You can Extract the CID via ZiverCid software. It will create the file, And btw you should not be touching ZIV relay if you do not have a basic idea of Ziv software Because there are chances you will make the firmware corrupt For which you have to make it a hard reset, which is also not an easy process, short but risky. So please contact your senior on-site & inform him about the situation. Otherwise once the relay is gone into the dead mode, it won’t be even hard to reset by calendar method
– I have ZiverCID software then how can I extract there is an option?
– I think to go to ziver complus and then setting and then edit. This file will automatically open in ziver CID. If he has CID module installed

– I have a problem with my fault recorder, 7ke85 siemens. The Disgi5 software show fault in port E, the front panel is active run (green), and error (red) Led. I can’t communicate
– This fault locator is not functional As long as the error led is glowing.
– what is the solution?
– This problem has no solution
-Yes in CFC, the ladder is having a signal which is not masked
– Remove that
– I can not inspect the relay, I can not communicate
– Relay is in error mode means the software is having inconsistency between source & destination
– If you have a backup check CFC and send it to the relay. And if you are new to siemens relay, better do as I say, right away
– When I want to communicate with the relay for local or remote but in two situation does not allow any communication the relay
– That’s because of an ERROR in the relay’s file. This relay requires Re-Flashing of firmware

– In RET 670 transformer differential relay. I want to check the diff and bias current I found Please solve my problem related to NR relay.
-When AR has been operated in 400kv line then one end AR successful while other end line became trip while both ends have AR-enabled. then why?
– On other end, it is operating in Pole discrepancy or AR lockout?
-No. Direct trip
-Check all conditions for AR in other ends
– On other end, it is operated in Zone 1 or Zone 2?
– Zone -1
– CB’s health status is ok?
Yes
– It means?
– No PD and AR lockout operated trip command goes to the breaker
– I suppose u assigned any DT to send a signal to the remote end? While AR From the local end
– Check the time setting at both ends Of the AR
– 86 Operated?
– At one end it may be 1sec n other end 350ms
– So by the time at one end AR operated it sent DT signal to other end
– Then you check the logic for 86. 86 should not operate for zone 1 single-phase fault
– Due to which 86 operated. DT received in the remote end?
– Carrier received at other end And carrier send by our end?
– No DT received and send by both end
– Carrier aided tripping sent from your end
– No this is not correct.86 operated for single-phase fault
-Ok. On the remote end, 86 is operated or not?
– Yes. Then check the logic for 86 in the remote end. I think in the remote end 86 is assigned for all faults. Check the time setting at both ends for AR. Both end Fault in Zone 1 then ZCOM Trip will not happen. That is not necessary.

– When programming Nondirectional overcurrent test in Omicron getting Out of range error. How do I correct it?
– CT Secondary 5 Amps
– I guess you write the wrong number to CT primary/secondary ratio at device settings. Check again pls.
– Use CMC 356. I think 256+ will not deliver this much.
– Check the max amps settings in test object details.
– use the 3x25A setting. Parallel three current injectors with other 3. This would provide 25A per phase. your requirement is 12.88A that’s why it’s showing out of range.
– Please check the connection setting and select the proper port number and baud rate by looking into the device manager
-Everything is correct only Check test correction once or use another serial cable. Check earthing of the relay as well as your laptop charger.
– Check the communication port configuration from the communication menu usually this error appears due to wrong port selection and configuration
– Yes, you uploaded the wrong menu text file to the IED. To make it normal you need to send the right default menu text file via parallel port again or updating the same firmware will make the IED to go default settings and menu text. If you are planning for a firmware update make sure that IED is not in service.

– Hi everyone can anyone help me with this issue? I am configuring IEC. Here is my settings relay subnet: 255.255.255.0 laptop IP:10.22.91.100. now if I put relay IPs from 10.22.91.1 to 10.22.91.92, I get the response from it. but 10.22.91.93 to 10.22.91.253 aren’t working. what could be the solution? there is no subnetting, why is it restricting me to 92 devices?
– Relay subnet and switch subnet must be the same. What’s the subnet in the switch?
– does a switch has masking? I don’t think so.
– Every switch has IP & Mask If you know the IP address of the switch
– Type in ur browser, and there u can also check the subnet mask
– Which switch u r using?
– that is something diff, that is just to access the switch conf
– the ports aren’t assigned to any VLANs
– so no need for that
– It is linked with relays communication, the relay fiber would be connected to switch if both are not synced, communication with IEC won’t work
– You can check that as a part of troubleshooting
– it’s working with IPs 1-92. That’s what I’m saying, maybe another switch has a different subnet due to which relay won’t be accessible with laptop IP
– Install device model.

– what is the criteria for Grounding control and power cables, should it be grounded from both ends or one end”
And the reason for grounding is both sides or a single side?
-1 core power cable shield must be grounded only from one side, otherwise transformation current with inducted to the shield. I&C& signal cables as well. In this case, the induction is from the outside. However, for 3core, 3phase cable it could be grounded in both sides
– what about multicore control cable?
– In Siemens design which is used for many power plants, it is mentioned that only one Side must be grounded to prevent circulating current.

– display error name is flashed v1.0,
– For parallel operation, you need to synch both transformers first, then close the breaker. Changing load from one transformer to another, Different tap positions mean different voltage levels (if both transformers are fed from the same source & in case of under-voltage, the load will draw more current, which might result in OC Fault, overheating of cables. The breaker may trip in the second case but in the first case, straight damage if you haven’t installed AVR. Breaker doesn’t care for Voltage, it only trips on high currents, But one transformer connected to load which has a voltage of 10.4KV
– it mainly depends on uk% and loads current. having enough data, you can simulate the Network using DigSILENT. In my experience, you can parallel both transformers without worrying.
– Check impedance voltage percentage Within limit, u can
– Check impedance voltage percentage at nameplate data
-When u have two transformers in parallel then you may have to look at the circulating currents that might flow when tap positions are not matching. Account for that circulation current as it will be an issue
– Sir the same I read in a document due to low impedance in the transformer which has less tap position certain amount of current will circulate within the winding but why?
– difference in impedance of the transformer more than 10% will have a circulating current too. even if taps are the same and the voltages are the same
– 66kv breaker CG make
-There is no need for SC capacity coordination, your new breaker may be oversize but that’s not a problem
– 40kA/3sec means it can withstand up to 40kA which is higher than 31.5kA. if 31.5kA for your substation is ok, then 40kA is ok, too.
– Not a problem higher capacity only.

– What is the IBias calculation equation to feed in the omicron differential characteristics for generator protection
– When we send the configuration to the relay we will face a syntax error at the last step, what is the matter?
– Depends on what relay u are testing.
– In the shot test, you choose the points on the characteristic curve and the software tests only at those points. In the search test, u select the sweep for IBias e.g. 0.2 to 5 with some intervals. This will create vertical lines on the characteristic curve and the test set will then determine the Idiff value on each of those lines. The test set will determine the Idiff value at which the relay operates. Search is like making the test set determine whats the characteristic curve and if the searched point is within the tolerance limit then only the test is considered passed

– I have a p443 distance relay(Micom Schnieder make), I tested this relay in zone 1, but it also trips in zone 2 and zone 3 simultaneously..and although I marshaled output contacts to trip.. it does not send tripping order to test set. anybody solves this issue
– Which test set are u using? Have u checked the current or voltage connections? Normally this happens when u are injecting current or voltage in reverse, which means the relay is looking in reverse. Check whether the reverse zone is enabled or not.
– omicron 356
– U using a distance module? Check your trip contact type, And double-check the PSL file.
– I test this relay manually through the test set, not through the laptop. I am using the time module.
-Ok. First, confirm ur output relays are properly working and connections are ok or not. Force them from the Commissioning menu and check continuity using a multimeter. Check ur wiring. U using a dry connection or wet contact.?
– Maybe the relay SOTF function is on
– Good point. Ensure there is a pre-fault. time set on the test set. Normally it is 1 sec.
– There are 2 issues. One is ur relay tripping on all zones. And second ur binary output feedback not reaching the test set. Solve them one by one.
– Usually, zone 1 is inside zone 2 and zone 3 (if all your zones are forward direction).

– We have one 13.8KV (15KV sys voltage) Switchgear. Due to an increase in the connected load, we want to change the CT in one of its Cubicles. The new CT suggested by the Supplier has the following Specs: *CT 300/5, Burden 15VA, 5P10, BIL 10KV. now my question is the 5P10 & the burden suggested by them is correct for this MV Switchgear? I’ve seen some CT having 5P20. Where we will select 5P10 & 5P20? Also, do we need to replace the metering core, as well as a load, that is increased?
– all CT replacements should have a CT CALCULATION ( sizing) according to circuit parameters. You should ask for this document first
– To say if it matches or not you need to know the maximum short circuit current, and also you need to know your relay and cables burden because 5P10 means this CT will be stable and will not saturate in the range up to 10 times the nominal current and with 15 VA burden. If you calculate your actual burden then 5P10 might be equivalent to 5P20.


– if we have 1K ohm shunt resistors of 180W for high impedance cable diff port. But need to change the resistors to 500 ohms as per settings, so how we can calculate watts for 500 ohms resist I think the definition of the armature is not exact and correct
– I was just skimming over the pdf and noticed that. The armature is where voltage is induced in it

– Do we have any stationary armature in the power plant machine? I haven’t seen
– Alternator I guess?
– In synchronous generators Armature is stationary and the dc voltage is applied to the winding on the rotor to have a rotating magnetic field
– It is easier to have a stationary three-phase output than having a rotating one
– Probably it is a technical dictionary For practical uses But from an academic point of view, things are different And brushless synchronous generators have a rotating armature. The rotating armature is mounted on the rotor to excite the generator’s field circuit
– I don’t say that we don’t have a rotating armature. I’m saying that the armature and the rotor are 2 different subjects
– I think there are only two terms of stator and rotor. depending on various conditions and requirements we use either stator as armature or field or vice versa.
– Maybe in a special type of machine the armature is mounted on the stator And a field circuit is on the rotor.
– And for the other type The reverse may be true
– yes. if there is a time-varying magnetic field and a stationary coil. the voltage will be induced in the stationary coil irrespective of stator or rotor or field or armature terminologies may differ as per circumstances.
– I think it’s not a network fault like a short circuit. It’s about the relay hardware itself As the title suggests Hw error

– How error relay has a hardware problem?
– I can’t open the diagram. It’s a network topology for DMMs and Relays single ring with redundancy characteristics for the 61850 networks, but the question is the connection between HSR &RSTP is correct or not? And can I use PT-G503 or other switches required?
– I think u can’t use different protocols in a single ring. But if u have a separate ring connected separately with the switch, there won’t be an issue. RSTP and HSR can both will work fine about the switch PT503, if it’s an industrial switch, it will work fine.

– Can anyone share the Easergy studio software password?
– AAAA
– Can anybody help me? This switch has been faulty and I don’t know why.
– If you’re having a dual DC source then check the healthiness of both DC supplies. In some cases, If one DC source fails then the switch will give that indication
– you should connect to the switch and read the logs. there may be an alarm for acknowledging for example a link was down, a link was disconnected, etc.

– I doubt if we install fuse and MCB in the same rating, then if overload comes what operates first either fuse blown first or mcb operate first if it is so why? Reason. The same for short circuit condition
– Fuse
– Response time is faster than McBride
-Could you please share with me the response time for MCB and fuse?
– The answer depends on the thermal capability curve of each
– How we can clarify? Any documents for this

– When Three generators are running in parallel, suddenly one generator got trip. What happens to other generators? I know that the speed of other generators will increase but I don’t know why?
– According to the drop curve In other words they all agreed to provide the grid with a 50/60 Hz sinusoidal voltage waveform. You can only see the actual increase in speed when you disconnect the generator from the grid. This question is quite complex, the generators are running on the grid or isolated from the Power system? If are connected you need to know how big is the influence of these generators in the system. In other words, you will need a load flow simulation and a transitory simulation engine to know what will happen with the other machines because synchronous generators have angular stability that depends on the intrinsic constructive characteristics. If the system is isolated is most likely that the tripped machine will accelerate and the other machines will decrease speed, if the variant of power is the inside capability and angle stability the speed regulator and the voltage regulator will set a new operation point to guarantee the operation delivering the same amount of power (sorry for bad English, just woke up)
– Actually, this is on a machine connected to an “infinite power” bus. If we are talking about a big loss of generation the machines will swing around the main frequency raising/decreasing speed, right?
– If the frequency of the other two generators was raised means the speed has to increase right?
– Because for speed=120f/p In synchronous machines speed -> frequency. But again, it’s most likely that the speed of the two remaining generators will decrease. Once you have the same amount of load and have to decrease your generation the electrical current on the remaining generators are higher, this will result in a bigger magnetic flux that will make a force in the opposite direction of the primary machine (turbine), in other words, this should break the generator. But as our colleague said, in a big power system you shouldn’t have speed variations. It will all depend on your system. Is impossible to give a precise answer without the information?
– The speed will decrease most likely depending upon the governor’s response if they running in an isolated system. A change in active power demand or production causes a fluctuation of the speed (frequency).
If a generator trips, the frequency will decline. If the loss of generation is greater than the spinning reserve, the frequency could eventually stabilize at a new value lower than the desired one. However, in practice, under-frequency relaying is used to reestablish the balance between power demand and available production. If the frequency decline is excessive, generating units can be automatically tripped off causing an additional decline of frequency, and possible collapse of the system. Acceleration torque (Ta) = T (mech) – T (elec). For small variations 😛 (mech) ≈ T (mech) P (elec) ≈ T (elec)

– What is the applied test voltage? – 5kV.
– Remove secondary connections either connected 1a or 1n. Apply test voltage case1: primary to 1a
Case 2: primary to 1n. The values more or less should come the same. Sometimes it will show some difference due to testing machine (Megger) measurement and also ambient temperature(T)
– IN the 7SR relay where to find the Characteristic angle?
– Using reydisp evolution.
– take PRI. to earth at 5kv and seco. to earth at 500 v.

– When you read the data from relay through software what error it is showing?
– oh ABB show on the display
– this is an error inside
– Not communicating with software
– must repair
– What is the fault code relay is showing?
– Not showing any fault Or warning code, the Only ready LED is Blinking


– Now communicated with relay, But the Blinking problem is not fixed
– Go to main menu/monitoring/IED status/self-supervision, Check for the faulty hardware module. If it is a diagnostic failure then also it flashes
– Check IRF alarm contact status to find the reason, It is an internal fault maybe.
– Why is current in the R phase so much high on normal voltage
– Load on the R phase might be more as compared to other phases.
– Normal voltage is injected, And the normal current is injected.
– whats the ct ratio?
– 400/1
– check backup relay measurement.
– how many the core in ct?
– But I am injecting to relay directly.
– How secondary set Check ct wiring?
– Star point of relay Input Is correctly wired.
– Star point is only for protection.
– R u injected or the line is the charge?
– Relay is separated from PT CT, I am injecting current from omicron.
– PT as well
– R u injecting balance current?
– 1 A
– Yes
– check ct ratio in the relay.
– CT ratio is OK in the relay when u inject is there any current in IN?
– Yes same as the R phase.
– Check-in this, it was fluctuating
– inject only r phase backside of the relay terminal not on tb
– It’s 934 A is showing when I inject only in R phase
– led is blinking for this relay (REL670).


– Is circuit breaker contact resistance temperature-dependent
-Yes the hotter it has the higher the value. That’s why you would have seen that the current is injected for a very short duration. As not to elevate the temperature
– Does variations in input voltage affect breaker timing?
– Input supply varies from 110V to 170V. The ideal voltage is 110 V

– 132 kV breaker close time =77 ms
– At160V
– PT ki 110 v vary kr rhi h
– No pt
– Direct supply from AC source for testing
– ac supply for the kit, No for breaker control supply
– Usually, the higher volts may not affect the timing but will damage the insulation of the coil
– Is this value is acceptable
– ac supply use in break only for motor. Refer to the manual.
– Input ac supply for the kit is 260V For MV, I have less than 60ms for one while 40 ms for the other type. The source is giving 260 V
– So you have to compare with the values in manual
-Trip time is 46 ms, CO=39ms
– please check these angle diff. is correct or wrong?

– Can you tell me what is the name of this marked portion? And why it is connected there?
– It’s correct, inductive.
– When I charge the 132kv line, then I get the all secondary 3phase voltage at the panel TB from line CVT. But I trip the breaker, now the line remains back charge bcz of opposite end connected. In this case, I get only R, B phase voltage from the same line CVT. Y ph voltage is near to zero(i.e, y=7 v) How it is possible?
– line pt install
– May you phase jumper opened in transmission line?
– please check from the remote end voltage.
– It is also perfectly correct. remote end all three voltage is perfect?
– tell me all three voltage.
24abb , 18:32 -abb pcm600: R=63.8.
Y=63.03
B=63.35
– Now it is charged at both ends. When I cut our end breaker, then I get only 2 ph voltage
– r u seeing in the panel?

– No seeing at pt MB
– cut the break from remote end charge from our end then check
– same problem
– I get all 3 ph voltage
– It is clear
– CVT after breaker or before when charging from both ends then what about the load
– all three loads are balance
– Does the problem solved now? Check the wiring of pt at tb
– Is it loose
– It is perfectly connected
– What about pt secondary phase to phase voltage?
– 110 if it is charged at both ends
– What about all other phases?
– All three-phase to phase voltage is 110 if the line is charged at both ends.
– If I cut my end breaker then I get 2 phase voltage only
– I am not getting Yph voltage

– Does the LA inline side shows leakage current?
– If our side is charged and the other side breaker is off in this case I get all three-phase voltage
– Yes check for leakage current in LA.


– Does DNP communicate over RS 485?
– Yes, if supported by the relay manufacturer.

– Correct, RS485 RS232 RS422etc is just a standard for serial communication
– DNP is a protocol that can be communicated over RS232 or RS485 serial port. DNP can be daisy-chained, just use a terminating resistor
– The motor got tripped on 51n but all three-phase currents are equal, the protection on the calculated value of three-phase currents internally by the relay. the relay was 7sj66. What are the causes?
– IR value of the motor is good

– Anyone can explain the difference between DNP and Rs 485
– RS 485 is port, DNP is protocol, DNP is a protocol
– Used in the process automation system
– Anyone can explain how to collect ABT meter load survey data through RS 485 port?
– Ok thanks, so the DNP3 outstation address will act like node ID?

– How many relays can we drop on an RS485 using DNP3?
– I mean DNP3 slave address ranges up to 65535
– The maximum IEDs that were successfully daisy-chained was 255, however, I won’t use anything close to that.
– Read through the RS485 standard, all is specified, this is not my area is expertise, but I’ve seen them work over 200m, use a 9600bd 2 wire comms, With 2 pair, 0.5 twisted shielded pair, proper earthing of spare wires and shield, I used till1400 meter closed loop
– anyone uses kocos Artes 440 three-phase secondary innection set.

– Please share a detailed explanation of under excitation Protection
– Please tell me about the LBB scheme in 220kV
– Local Breaker protection scheme depends on the type of busbar scheme you applied for.
– What is the type of bus bar scheme used in your 220kV station
– It is a trip matrix for designing protection schemes
– For which type of unit? Is it for generator
– Class A is for Turbine trip class B is for the GCB trip
– Whenever Turbine tripping occurs, GCB trips consequently.
– No correlation with a generator in this case. It is for a transformer. The above transformer is a GT.
-Though it is a GT, protection group A and Group B is for transformer breaker itself. Hv side and LV side (GCB), 86.1 & 86.2
– GT doesn’t have HV side CB. 86 means Master tripping. I’m saying for transformer
– Here in the trip matrix, Group A & B are categorized for master trips only.
– You mean, GT doesn’t have hv side CB
– Sorry LV side doesn’t have CB I meant to say. if it is 11/33kV GT. CB will be at the 33kV side in small power plants.
– It is a transformer
– I want a wrt generator For the 7UM relay.
– Low impedance busbar having main and check zone For busbar trip. how this is working?
– I understood the scheme is a double busbar with a transfer bus scheme.
– The main and check zone concept is different from LBB. We use a zone system in busbar differential. Whereas, LBB operates when the corresponding breaker fails to trip under feeder fault/bay fault condition. LBB will extend to the trip concerned busbar of that breaker(two main and transfer scheme) and other ends of the line (i.e., opposite end station).
– You will be more clear with protection schemes, showing LBB operated page.

– does float dc ammeter show which current In the battery charger?
– From DIGSI 5 can we communicate Siprotec 4 relay?
– No, But you can install them on single pc

– anyone has drawn for this 11 kv panel siemens?
– I am having two MFM in different panels both having the same voltage and current but KWH is different. Is this possible?
– Check CTR in both
-Checked it is correct, Current may be the same now but it might be different in different timings, so results in different KWh ratings.
– Load in two feeders could not need to be the same all the time. Eventually, results in different kwh ratings.
– One is incomer and one is outgoer. Only- one feeder connected in that bus?
– No. Then how both current ratings were same
– it is a plant of 30mw where incomer is trf and connected to og line
– That incomer is getting input from 6 5MW sources
– How much is the difference in values in both meters183 and 258
– Is meter calibration done?
-Check PT also

– Only phase to neutral. Rph only
– In the Y phase also 31V shows Not injecting. If injecting in the R phase, it should not show in the Y and b phase, but it will show in VRY AND VBR.
– Is there a neutral problem?
– Try to ground the other two phases and check
– Check with three-phase injection also

– Single-phase pick up and three-phase pickup will be different for overcurrent Protection in relay Or not?
– In relay 7SJ64
– Idmt time at normal setting and 2 times current injection are coming same is this possible
– At a normal setting, the relay will pick up only.
– Check the output trip logic

– Can anyone clarify me LBB scheme 220kV
– Can earthing of CT 2ndry neutral on both sides (at panel side and field side) can cause this differential current?
– Does anyone has experienced this case?

– That a transformer differential relay tripped even when the breaker is opened? Some differential current flowing when the breaker is opened
– In this case, the current doesn’t flow in the relay coil. it will circulate if both field side and panel side star point earthed
– Check DR
– if transformer trip on diff. relay on through fault what’s the reason?
– Check differential settings and harmonic blocking during energization.
– can we disable the external fault trip in Micom p642 diff?

– after running the generator for 3hrs the turbine guide bearing temperature would rise from 50-62, and if the machine is not shut down it will continue to alarm and trip point.
– Our plant has 6 generators of 96.4mw each, suddenly one of them developed high-temperature issue from the turbine guide bearing. It is a hydropower plant
– Increase the bearing temperature limit up to 85-degree Setpoint
– Won’t that cause bearing burnout as all other generators don’t get up 58 degrees?
– What about the oil temperature in that system?
– If the oil temp is high, too the bearing temp will be high. So you need to inspect cooling systems for turbine oil. The oil temperature also do rise but as usual, it should be lagging and that is what we are getting
– If you are using water in a cooling system, just inspect the water entry. Especially valves which allow cooling water to circulate.
– It’s self-cooling, when the shaft rotates it stir up oil in between the gap between it and the bearing providing lubrication and cooling at the same time
– forbearing to be at low temperature, the oil in its gap must be at a low temperature too. But the oil is cooled by either air or cold water system. So I am advising you to inspect the cold water system or air system. Because this shows that the system that cools oil is not working properly.
– Ok sir, our system is an enclosed type, no water cooling system, and we checked all the breeder points but no issues.
– Ok continue to troubleshoot bro.

– You will get the signals which you require

– Need to apply 1500V DC voltage for testing. Have anyone come through the 1500V DC voltage injector kit?
– In the 220kV scheme with two main and one transfer bus does the logic inputs of TBC and Bus coupler are fed to that bay relay or not Or using Goose it is done can anyone tell me
– If I am understanding correctly, I would say yes you would get those signals wired to your bay relay as inputs then if needed send it via GOOSE to any other relay that needs it for its logic. Only during maintenance, you shift to transfer bus through 89T…so bus bar protection should not Operate for transfer bus For bay units, only bus isolators status (89A&89B) should be given. It should operate for Bus-A and Bus-B fault.

– For directional earth fault relay uses positive sector negative or zero?
– Generally, we negative and zero sequences not positive sequence

– Relay is showing negative power instead of positive, In this case, the current is lagging voltage, How, it is leading As PF is negative

– In capacitive load current leads voltage, In inductive load, current lags voltage, Current Our is an inductive load
– I guess real power is flowing in the reverse direction. You have to reverse the CT staring, change the PQ direction in Siemens bcu

– Which power analyzer is best for Harmonic measurement? I need to measure Harmonics order’s magnitudes and phase angle.
– Fluke 1735
– Fluke 434

Which power companies are using the whole IEC61850 (Sample Value, GOOSE, and MMS) in their substations? or are they just adept GOOSE and MMS only? The CT and PT are still conventional types?

– How to check this relay?
– the setting is 20%

Inject the current above that value and check the trip time. Pick up and all.
– How to test locked rotor in Easergy p3 g32 relay?
– How do know the TMS and type of curve of this overcurrent relay? how to Calculate the time of tripping?
…3-sec normal inverse curve.
– TMS 0.2
– Would you please explain?
– How do you get it?
-100% IDMT settings. 800% instantaneous setting.
– Check there I don’t know what to call them, those toggle switch which side they are selected just sum it, And multiply by the factors mentioned and you will get the setting.
– For the left side instant setting
200 + (2+1) 200 = 800 % For TMS 0.12= 0.2

-The upper two are for different purposes.
– Different tables are mentioned over there Just check the S 1 -8 no. And then see the upper two toggle positions.
– I hope it is clear to you.

– We have two transformers (66/11.5 kV, 50/55 MVA, 600A NGR earthed on the 11.5kV side). There is two incomer-one bus coupler scheme at 11kV bus.
– Due to some constraints, we are not able to get a 66 kV supply from the grid. However, 11kV direct supply is offered by the grid for no-load charging at an 11kV bus from the identical transformer on the grid side.
– Please revert with technical constraints related to the subject.
– Hi everyone, l hope you are well, and safe; could you share ” relay coordination and setting for substation 230/400kv(excel sheet+ explanation) thanks in advanced.

– We are facing one issue in one of the plants that we have laid 3Core 400 Sq.mm 22KV XLPE cable to provide power supply to one of the small production units. The cable length is approximately 2500Mtrs and the state electricity board has implemented KVAH billing now. So the problem is even though there are zero loads at receiving end source end meter shows 40KVAH apparent power and 40KVAR reactive power. Is it because of cable capacitance? If yes what is the solution to avoid the same?

– As KVAH billing is implemented it is directly impacting cost very heavily.

– Can experts give your valuable inputs on this.
– Since it is a cable then it will be generating ” VAR”.. hence it is not possible 40 kVAH & 40 kVAR
– there is a chance of a cable charging current. Once check with the leakage meter in the secondary side of metering MFM, check how much leakage current is showing. And also ensure whether c.t wiring is connected properly or not it means the metering core of c.t is to be connected to meter only and also protection core of c.t is always connected to be relaid. I think the only possibility is to charge current.
– We have checked the wiring and it doesn’t have any issue. Also, we have removed the cable earthing at one end which was connected to both ends earlier. But still, the problem persists.
– Check cable insulation.
– Pls share the SLD with CT location.. and also cable parameters.
– Is it a cable feeder or it is connected through a transformer at your end and of course power provider end power factor to be confirmed.
– I think it is OK, the cable is 2.5km long, 40kVAR is 1 amp at 22kV. Who can explain why it is wrong?
– Hi team, I want to know which electrical software is better to learn to come into the design side?
– If anyone from the design side or if anyone knows better share the knowledge so it will be helpful to someone who doesn’t know.

– Can anybody pls provide R, X/Z values of 132kv & 220kv lines with Panther, Zebra ACSR conductors. Rgds
– To be used for distance relay settings.
– Anyone can suggest pole slipping protection calculation for 4.9 MW TG. There is a total of 3 incomers on the 11 kv switchboard. 2 from grid trafo and 1 from TG. In the normal operating scenarios, all 3 incomers are synchronized and BC is closed. I have doubts regarding the considering impedance of the transformer.

-Even when the differential is less than restraining current Relay operated on minimum operating current.

– Maybe it tripped on cross-phase tripping like detection in one phase trips the other two.
– Because differential always has three-phase tripping.
-Is there any formulae for calculating? I didn’t find any cross-phase calculation in the relay manual
– No sir, the formula is not there, in siemens relay, the function is there. Cross tripping function which we can enable or disable.
– Which relay is this?
– P632
– I don’t think it’s there in this relay.
– But it is the case usually, protection operation in one phase, operates the three-phase protection.
-Does anyone have a catalog or technical manual of power panel/receptacle panels/ lighting panels?
– RET? And REM

– Can anyone explain the purpose of cable sheath tests

– What kind of problem and how do you expect mechanical problems in the feeder when it is running
– Basically, the client wants to prevent an outage of power by this. Is it possible in the HV system?
– Online
– Don’t Think mechanical failure expected
– Nice to meet you too, I am Peter
For RTU needs 4 cards: 1. digital input, 2. digital output, 3. analog input 4. analog output
– Bay control unit for SAS system
– Can we say it is like PLC, But with higher availability, redundancy, robust voltage, and disturbance handling, With different comm protocols and Network redundancy.
– Yes
– does it follow any standards like PLC has IEC61131?
– IEC 601850 – 101 & 104
– This is for communication and data sharing. What about logic programming?
– WHAT IS THE WORK OF THE FOTE PANEL?
– IEC 601850
– What should be done if VCB doesn’t pass contact resistance criteria? VCB should be used or not?
– What should be done if VCB doesn’t pass closing time criteria?
VCB should be used or not?
– Fiber optic terminal equipment. This is for line communication like PLCC
– No. must repair/service before put into the system
– Yes digital power line carrier
– What about hipot test?
– hipot is passed, CB is old.
– If both contact resistance and timing test fail then it is recommended to go for replacement even hipot passed.
– Finally, check if any mechanical problem can be rectified.
– Is this a vacuum contactor or vacuum circuit breaker?
– Also, compare all 3 phases of contact resistance and timing. And all these tests can be compared with the last test results, FAT.
-How old is this?
– What manual says about a lifetime? With this, you can decide whether it is premature failure due to quality or any inbuilt issues, or lack of maintenance
– What is the distance between ZONE 1, ZONE 2, ZONE 3?
– In distance protection or busbar protection?
– Distance protection
-What is the means of this relay?
– Carrier aided trip or communication aided trip, As per RK commission, Z1 is 80 percent of PL, Z2 is 150 percent of PL and Z3 is 120 percent of PL and Longest line.
– On which mode u have set the line DTT, DUTT, PUTT, or POTT
– It means that this relay is tripped based on the signal received from the far end relay.

– “How to configure RCBs and Data sets in ABB RED670 relays by referring to existing CID files?
– If any kind of procedure/guidelines, please share them with me

– You must be able to upload the CID file into the IEC61850 tool and it’ll help you to configure the IED
– Still, I am not clear. Can you elaborate on it?
– Use the PCM600 configuration tool from abb to upload the CID file into IED. Download and install PCM600 from the ABB website
– I have PCM600 V2.8 software
– I have an existing PCMP project file that doesn’t have datasets and RCBs. But I have commissioned the CID file back up. Now I want to create new data set and RCBs in the PCMP Project file with help of commissioned CID file. Pls, note I am doing it for V1.1 relays. So pls check and advise me
– Do we need to go for a higher CT ratio If CT secondary is not suitable for peak fault?
Please share your opinion
– Yes. Greater Knee point voltage CT to be chosen
– you can connect two secondaries of the same CT in a series. You can use a secondary reserve, both secondaries must be equals (ratio, class,….)

– This connection is similar to installing a higher knee point CT
– I have 1s1-1s2 and 2s1-2s2. How to connect both ct sec in series? Moreover these 2 secondary connections 2 different relays. In such a case how it should be connected?
– I am facing a problem that after under-voltage takes place, the breaker is tripped, and after reset and normalization of voltage, I can’t able to ON the breaker. So after turning off /on the breaker control supply then I can able to turn on the breaker.

– How to calculate REF fault current for transformer
-I injected the same current in all phases but it tripped in earth fault
-Why does this happen I checked the wiring it’s fine
– You check the star point of internal CT
– Injected directly at relay backside
– Check the phase angles
– It must be 0, 240 and 120
– Apply three current with the same magnitude and zero phase angle and check N current
– For earth, fault inject individual phase with phase angle 0 degrees. The phase angle is ok
– Which relay is this..?? Line protection..??
– simple over Current and earth fault only
– Can u share a pic of the relay showing phase angles while injecting a 3phase balanced current?
– Relay CT terminal neutral loop wrong
– Got corrected it was a mistake in setting
– How to calculate CT size for motor hp please suggest me
– Sizing of CT should include 120% of FLA and peak fault saturation and sub transient for dynamic half cycle


-Anyone in the group has an idea about microgrid relaying protection?
– Do anyone knows about Schnider ltmr relay custom logic preparation?
-No you can’t connect. Because the Current will flow on a low resistance path only. If you used 0-500 tap for R1. The same core you can’t connect R2.
– You can connect two relays in serious on a single adequate tap and configure accordingly. But don’t connect two relays in parallel, as boopathi said, the current will flow on a low resistance path. If it’s a high impedance differential protection, then don’t share the CT.
– And relay may malfunction due to the current magnitude flow into 2 different relays and the direction of the current subject type of protection.
– Can’t we use the same tap for overcurrent and then in series for high impedance REF? Not on different taps but on different cores
-In the REF phase and Neutral CTs are connected in such a way that current is nullified. So it is not possible to use over current with REF.
– In a High impedance circuit, stabilizing resistor and metrosil will be part of the ct circuit, so it’s not advisable to combine both in the same ct core
– Actually, we have commissioned many projects like this. The only thing we extended inputs to overcurrent element first then conjugated with neutral ct adding metrosil and stabilization resistance and fed to REF element.
– Technically we don’t find any issue. Maybe you have any practical experience, please share for taking care. Phase ct and neutral ct should be paralleled in such a way that the current is nullified during normal conditions. Further, how the OC relay will get the correct measurement with a high impedance circuit? Please check your secondary circuits
– High impedance coil input to relay is dedicated and it is voltage-operated although we give current as an input. However, OC elements core must be different than high Z core.
-Are you using RET 670 relay?
– Technically not correct. It may work but note that REF opération depand on CT magnétisation characteristics. It can malfunction also. REF should not operate for external faults. This is RET 670 relay CT connection for REF and over current used

– I support everyone’s input if the overcurrent element is not in the relay and phase CT star point is not made thru the relay and parallel with neutral ct.
– It all depends on the relay features and how you are making start point phase CTs.
Thanks for all your inputs.
– Hi do anyone have abb ret 543 relay communication software
– What should be the value of coil current taken by a trip coil of the breaker?
– 400 kV GE make Breaker
– Nonmagnetic cable gland is required in single-core DC cables?

– I am facing a problem with the abb rel670 relay. When the line is charged condition with both main and tie breakers in close position. If we open the main breaker, abb rel 670 is sending DT on another end. But we check the DT send logic, it is ok we checked it by taking a shutdown.
– What will be the problem?
– This is the normal logic for DT. DT is for Over Voltage, Manual Open, LBB, and Busbar trip.
– On manual-open main CB, DT will send only if tie CB is already open
– Ok. Tie CB status is given to this relay? But here the problem is when is in charged condition with both main & tie CB in the closed condition when we open the main CB only DT is sending
– Normally REL670 will not mal operate. I think there may be an issue with the logic.
– You check online signal monitoring and find out which outputs are energized during that time

– main incomer breaker of capacitor bank get trips by using relay when the power factor exceeds 0.86. The capacitor banks are newly installed. What May the reason for capacitor banks to draw more current
– Did u check each capacitor’s bank-wise currents?
– Check the load settings of the breaker.
– We are using Tapcon 320 expert in one of our sites, in which we are trying to communicate the Tapcon using the ethernet port. During which link/activity light is not glowing in ethernet port. Tapcon is showing error event 38. No connection to the communication interface card. Communication info is showing as blank; no version available in the Tapcon
