GENERAL INFORMATION
— Preface
Protection and control panels can be installed to the risers of the MV section and HV user line of
primary substations supplied by ENEL Distribuzione S.p.A.
The devices can also be installed to MV nodes and primary substations operated with neutral to
ground or very low neutral resistance in foreign countries in which ENEL has operations.
To supplement the protection functions, the system includes the following functions: breaker failure
(BF), CT monitoring (74CT), VT monitoring (74VT), trip circuit monitoring (74TCS), Synchrocheck relay,
EAC (Equilibratore Automatico di Carico) [ALB frequency (Automatic Load Balancer)] protection,
programmable logic controller (PLC) and automatic reclosing (79).
The system can be calibrated, programmed and its logs and values read with a PC running the Thy-
Setter software, or via Ethernet; all the above operations are also available via the front panel keypad
(MMI).

DESCRIPTION
— Main Characteristics
• Three phase with definite 1A or 5A nominal current selectable via software.
• One residual current input with 1A or 5A nominal current selectable via software.
• Three phase with nominal voltage programmable in the range 50...130 V (UR=100V) and one residual
input with nominal voltage programmable in the range 50...130 V (UER = 100V).
• Backlight LCD graphic display.
• Multicolour indicator LED on the front panel, freely programmable.
• Logical inputs on input board (IN1-1...IN1-6), freely programmable.
• Logical inputs on input board (INC-1...INC-5).
• Output relays (KS1-1...KS1-6) independently programmable, for protection functions, self-test and
control functions, and outputs with solid state relays.
• One rear port for communication with remote communications and control systems via Ethernet,
running the IEC 61850 protocol.
• Two rear ports for communication with remote I/O modules via Ethernet, running the MODBUS
TCP/IP® and IEC61850 protocols.
• One front panel Ethernet port, for local communications, running the MODBUS TCP/IP® protocol.
• Calendar clock with buffer.
• Nominal frequency 50 or 60 Hz, programmable via software.
The major operational characteristics are:
• Measurement of the effective value of the fundamental component of the currents and voltages
using DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform).
• The directional current function employs a special operating criterion based on a voltage memory
algorithm: this enables the relay to operate properly even in case of three-phase dead short when
the line voltage goes almost to zero.
• Logging of recent malfunctions (SFR) and events (SER).
• Logging of oscilloscope readings (DFR) in the COMTRADE format.
• All settings and logged data (faults, events, couinters, oscilloscope) are saved to non-volatile mem-
ory and are thus available even in case of auxiliary voltage failure
• Option to update the firmware.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
— Measurement conventions
Phasor direction of rotation
The conventional direction of rotation assumed for the voltage and current phasors is counterclock-
wise.
Cyclic phase sequence
For a set of three voltage or current phasors rotating counterclockwise, one conventionally assumes
a direct cycle if the three phases follow the sequence L1, L2, L3, and an inverse cycle when the
sequence is L1, L3, L2.
Sign conventional for phase

— Logical inputs
The input module has 6 inputs, with 5 inputs on the Control module.
The no-voltage inputs must be controlled by applying an external voltage (usually the auxiliary power
voltage).
Refer to the insertion diagrams for the hookup scheme.
Each input has the following configurable parameters:
• Logic: DIRECT (active when the input is powered), or INVERSE (active without voltage to the input).
• Trip delay (IN1-1 tON, IN1-2 tON... IN1-6 tON) and drop-out delay (IN1-1 tOFF, IN1-2 tOFF... IN1-6
tON ).
• Mapping functions to the input module inputs (IN1-1...IN1-6).[1]
The Trip and Deactivation timer settings provide for inserting a programmable delay on input signal
transitions; in particular, the positive transition is considered valid only if the input remains stably
active for at least the programmed delay tON; in the same way, for negative transitions, the input must
remain inactive for at least the programmed delay tOFF.
Each logical input on the input board (IN1-1...IN1-6) can be mapped to one of the default functions
listed below. The parameters can be set in the menu Set \ Input board inputs.

— Output relays
The following are available:
• 6 electromechanical relays (KS1-1...KS1-1...6),
• 4 solid state relays
Each final relay is independently programmable with operating mode normally excited or de-excit-
ed (EXCITED/DE-EXCITED LOGIC) and non-memorised, pulse or memorized operating mode
(NON-MEMORISED/PULSE/MEMORIZED OPERATING MODE ).
A programmable timer is available for each final relay, which sets the minimum pulse duration of the
relay itself. The parameters can be set in the menu Set \ Relays.
Programming and configuration area available at any time, even with the relay in service, inde-
pendently for each relay.
Detailed information:
• If a final relay is set to normally de-excited, it remains in standby at input values corresponding to
no trip
• If a final relay is set to normally excited, it remains in operation when powered and at input values
corresponding to no trip
• If the relay is set to automatic reset (Operating mode NON-MEMORIZED), it switches to
standby when the anomalous condition of the input value ceases. A timer can be set for each final
relay to set the minimum hold time when the relay is actuated (Minimum operating time)
• If manual reset is set (Operating mode MEMORIZED), the final relay remains actuated until
the RESET button is pressed or the respective command is sent via software (ThySetter of comms
bus)
• If set to pulse mode (Operating mode PULSE), the final relay switches to standby after a pro-
grammable delay (Minimum operating time) regardless of the condition of the input values
Output relays KS1-1...KS1-6 can be assigned independently in the menu for the individual; protection
functions, as shown in the matrix described below (Tripping Matrix).[1][2]
Each relay on the external DMRIS0 board (DMRIS01-1...DMRIS01-12 and DMRIS02-1...DMRIS02-12)

Preface
The protection has an adjustable, delayable threshold with definite time characteristic.
Measurement criterion
The protection measures the panel's auxiliary power voltage (Uaux):
Operation and settings
The measured voltage is compared with the threshold setpoint; when the measured voltage drops
below a set threshold the threshold itself starts (Start) and the respective timer starts counting.
If the condition persists, when the operating time expires, the threshold trips (Trip), otherwise the
threshold is reset.

— Maximum directional active power - 32P
Measurement criterion
The protection calculates the active power P using the formula:
P=UL1IL1cosfL1+ UL2IL2cosfL2+UL3IL3cosfL3
where UL1, UL2, UL3 are the fundamental components of the three phase voltages measured by the
TVs on the generator side, IL1, IL2, IL3 are the fundamental components of the three phase currents,
cosfL1, cosfL2, cosfL3 are the power factors of the three phases and fL1, fL2, fL3, are the phase shifts
of the phase currents IL1, IL2, IL3 relative to the phase voltages UL1, UL2, UL3 respectively, considered
conventionally positive with the currents delayed relative to the voltages.
If the current IL2 is not available, it is reconstructed vectorially.
For the active power sign conventions, refer to the insertion diagram.
Regulations
The protection is enabled at start and trip according to the trip direction settings, which are pro-
grammed independently for the two thresholds.

The function has two adjustable trip thresholds (P1>, P2>) which can be also be delayed (tP1>, tP2>),
with definite time characteristics.
Operating logic
When the measured active power exceeds the set threshold, the threshold itself starts (Start) and
the timer starts counting. If the condition persists, when the operating time expires, the threshold
trips (Trip), otherwise the threshold is reset.
Each threshold can be enabled or disabled.
An adjustable reset time can be set for each of the two thresholds (tP1>RES, tP2>RES).
Logical block (Block1)
If a logical input is configured with a logical block function and one or more thresholds of function
32P are enabled for that block (P1>BLK1 and/or P2>BLK1), the corresponding threshold is
blocked for the activation duration of the logical input itself. The trip timer is held in reset, so that the
trip time count starts only when the block signal expires.[1]
The enable parameters can be set in Set \ Protections \ Directional active overpower - 32P \
Threshold P1, Threshold P2 > \ Parameters, while the logical block is assigned to the input in the
menu Set \ Input board inputs \ Input IN1-1, (Input IN1-x).
Functional block (Block3)
If the voltmetric measurement chain fails (function 74VT tripped) or amperometric measurement
chain fails (function 74CT tripped), all thresholds of protection 32P are blocked.

— Negative sequence overcurrent - 46
Preface
The protection against unbalanced loads calculates the negative sequence current I2 from the
measured phase currents; the function has two settable thresholds with programmable trip time.
The trip characteristic for the two thresholds can be selected with definite or inverse time per IEC
60255-3/BS142.
A constant reset time can be set for each threshold, to reduce the time for eliminating intermittent
faults (while being no less than the protection start time).
Each protection threshold can be enabled or disabled.
The first threshold can be inhibited by the start of the second threshold.
Measurement criterion
The protection calculates the negative sequence current I2 from the values of the three phase cur-
rent phasors IL1, IL2, IL3 using the formula:
I2=(IL1+e-j120°·IL2+e+j120°·IL3)/3
where e-j120°=-1/2-j√3/2, ej120°=-1/2+j√3/2.
Operation and settings
The negative sequence current I2 is compared with the set thresholds (I2>, I2>>); exceeding a thresh-
old starts it (START) and starts the respective timer count (t2>, t2>>). If the threshold violation per-
sists, when its trip time expires, the threshold trips (TRIP), otherwise the threshold is reset.
The trip characteristic for the two thresholds can be selected with definite or inverse time per the
following characteristic curves (symbology for the first threshold):
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT, inverse time:
t = 0.14 · t2>inv / [(I2/I2>inv)0.02 - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT, very inverse time:
t = 13.5 · t2>inv / [(I2/I2>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type LTI, long time inverse:
t = 120 · t2>inv / [(I2/I2>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT, extremely inverse time:
t = 80 · t2>inv / [(I2/I2>inv)2 - 1]
Where:
t:
operating time
I2>:
trip threshold
t2>inv:
operating time regulation
The following applies to all inverse time characteristics:
• The minimum trip current is 1.1 times the set threshold (asymptotic reference time).
• The characteristics are defined between 1.1 and 20 times the set threshold;[1] if threshold regula-
tion exceeds 2.5 In, the upper limit of the measurement range is 40 In.
• The minimum operating time t is 0.1 s.
• For definite time trip characteristics, the upper limit of the measurement range is 30 In.
Each protection threshold can be enabled or disabled by setting to ON or OFF the parameter I2>
Enable and/or I2>> Enable in the menu Set \ Protections \ Negative sequence overcurrent - 46
\ Threshold I2> (Threshold I2>>) \ Parameters.

Preface
This function has four adjustable thresholds with programmable trip time.
The trip characteristics for thresholds I>, I>> and I>>>> can be selected with definite or inverse time
per IEC 60255-3/BS142
The trip characteristic for threshold I>>> is definite time.
A constant reset time can be set for each threshold, to reduce the time for eliminating intermittent
faults (while being no less than the protection start time).
Each protection threshold can be enabled or disabled.
The first threshold I> can be inhibited when at least one of the three thresholds starts, just as the
second threshold can be inhibited when the third threshold starts and the third when the fourth
starts.
Operation and settings
The overcurrent protection compares the fundamental component of each of the three phase cur-
rents (IL1, IL2, IL3) with the set thresholds; if current IL2 is not available (input C2 dedicated to the
measurement of ISQL or IE) the value of IL2 is forced to zero.
Violating a threshold of at least one of the three phase currents starts (START) the threshold in ques-
tion along with the related timer. If the threshold violation persists, when its trip time expires, the
threshold trips (TRIP), otherwise the threshold is reset.
The trip characteristic for the thresholds I>, I>> e I>>>> can be selected with definite or inverse time
per the following characteristic curves (symbology for the first threshold):
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT, inverse time:
t = 0.14 · t>inv / [(I/I>inv)0.02 - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT, very inverse time:
t = 13.5 · t>inv / [(I/I>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type LTI, long time inverse:
t = 120 · t2>inv / [(I/I>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT, extremely inverse time:
t = 80 · t>inv / [(I/I>inv)2 - 1]
Where:
t:
operating time
I>:
trip threshold
t>inv:
operating time regulation
The trip characteristic for threshold I>>> is definite time.
The following applies to all inverse time characteristics:
• The minimum trip current is 1.1 times the set threshold (asymptotic reference time).
• The characteristics are defined between 1.1 and 20 times the set threshold;[1] if threshold regula-
tion exceeds 2.5 In, the upper limit of the measurement range is 40 In.
• The minimum operating time t is 0.1 s.
• For definite time trip characteristics, the upper limit of the measurement range is 40 In.
Each threshold of the protection can be enabled or disabled by setting to ON or OFF the parameter
I> Enable, I>> Enable and/or I>>> Enable in the menu Set \ Protections \ Overcurrent -
50/51 \ Threshold I> (Threshold I>>, Threshold I>>>, Threshold I>>>>) \ Parameters.

A constant reset time can be set for each of the thresholds (t>RES, t>>RES, t>>>RES, t>>>>RES).
Shrink time
For each of the thresholds programmed with definite time characteristic, you can select contract-
ed time by setting to ON the parameter EnTcI>def, EnTcI>>def, EnTcI>>>def, En-
TcI>>>>def and adjusting the contracted time (tcI>def, tcI>>def, tcI>>>def,
tcI>>>>def) and operating time (tatcI>def, tatcI>>def, tatcI>>>def, tatcI>>>>-

Preface
This function has three adjustable thresholds with programmable trip time.
The trip characteristic for the first threshold can be selected with definite or inverse time per IEC
60255-3/BS142.
The trip characteristic for the second and third thresholds is definite time.
A constant reset time can be set for each threshold, to reduce the time for eliminating intermittent
faults (while being no less than the protection start time).
Each protection threshold can be enabled or disabled.
The first threshold can be inhibited when at least one of the two thresholds starts, just as the second
threshold can be inhibited when the third threshold starts.
Operation and settings
The residual overcurrent protection compares the fundamental component of the residual current
(IE) with the set thresholds (IE>, IE>>, IE>>>); violating a threshold starts (START) the threshold itself
and the corresponding timer (tE>, tE>>, tE>>>). If the threshold violation persists, when its trip time
expires, the threshold trips (TRIP), otherwise the threshold is reset.
The first threshold IE> can be set to definite or inverse time with the following characteristic curves:
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT, inverse time:
t = 0.14 · tE>inv / [(IE/IE>inv)0.02 - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT, very inverse time:
t = 13.5 · tE>inv / [(IE/IE>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type LTI, long time inverse:
t = 120 · tE>inv / [(IE/IE>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT, extremely inverse time:
t = 80 · tE>inv / [(IE/IE>inv)2 - 1]
Where:
t:
operating time

The following applies to all the above inverse time characteristics:
• The minimum trip current is 1.1 times the set threshold (asymptotic reference time).
• The minimum operating time t is 0.1 s.
• The characteristics are defined between 1.1 and 20 times the set threshold;[1] if threshodl regula-
tion exceeds 2.5 In, the upper limit of the measurement range is 10 IEn.
For definite time trip characteristics, the upper limit of the measurement range is 10 IEn.
Each threshold of the protection can be enabled or disabled by setting to ON or OFF the parameter

Preface
This function has one adjustable threshold with programmable trip time.
The trip characteristic can be selected with definite or inverse time per IEC 60255-3/BS142.
A constant reset time can be set to reduce the time for eliminating intermittent faults (while being no
less than the protection start time).
The threshold can be enabled or disabled; the function is automatically enabled if the voltmetric
measurement chain fails (function 74VT tripped).
Operation and settings
The residual overcurrent protection compares the fundamental component of the residual current
(IE) with the set threshold (IEeme>); violating the threshold starts (START) the threshold itself and the
corresponding timer (tEeme>). If the threshold violation persists, when its trip time expires, the thresh-
old trips (TRIP), otherwise the threshold is reset.
The threshold can be set to definite or inverse time with the following characteristic curves:
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT, inverse time:
t = 0.14 · tEeme>inv / [(IE/IEeme>inv)0.02 - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT, very inverse time:
t = 13.5 · tEeme>inv / [(IE/IEeme>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type LTI, long time inverse:
t = 120 · tEeme>inv / [(IE/IEeme>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT, extremely inverse time:
t = 80 · tEeme>inv / [(IE/IEeme>inv)2 - 1]
Where:
t:
operating time
IEeme>:
trip threshold
tEeme>inv:
operating time regulation
The following applies to all inverse time characteristics:
• The minimum trip current is 1.1 times the set threshold (asymptotic reference time).
• The minimum operating time t is 0.1 s.
• The characteristics are defined between 1.1 and 20 times the set threshold;[1] if threshodl regula-
tion exceeds 2.5 In, the upper limit of the measurement range is 10 IEn.
For definite time trip characteristics, the upper limit of the measurement range is 10 IEn.
The threshold can be enabled or disabled by setting to ON or OFF the parameter IEeme> Ena-
ble in the menu Set \ Protections \ Residual emergency overcurrent - 51N(Eme) \ Threshold IEeme>
\ Parameters.
The first threshold can be set to definite or inverse time with parameter IEeme>Curve (INDIP-

A constant reset time can be set for each of the thresholds tEeme>RES.
Shrink time
If the threshold is programmed with definite time characteristic you can set the contracted time by
setting to ON the parameter EnTcIEeme>def and regulating the contracted time (tcIEeme>-
def) and the operating time (tatcIEeme>def).
Once the breaker closes, during the operating time (e.g.: tatcIEeme>def), the value of the trip
time (e.g.: tEeme>def ) is replaced by the contracted time (e.g.: tcIEeme>def ); when the oper-
ating time expires the trip time is reset (e.g.: tEeme>def ).

Preface
Neutral unbalance current protection between the star centres of two capacitor arrays with an ad-
justable threshold with programmable operating time.
The trip characteristic can be selected with definite or inverse time per IEC 60255-3/BS142.
A constant reset time can be set to reduce the time for eliminating intermittent faults (while being no
less than the protection start time).
The threshold can be enabled or disabled.
Operation and settings
The protection compares the fundamental component of the residual current (ISQL) with the set
threshold (ISQL>); violating the threshold starts (START) the threshold itself and the corresponding
timer (tSQL>). If the threshold violation persists, when its trip time expires, the threshold trips (TRIP),
otherwise the threshold is reset.
The first threshold can be set to definite or inverse time with the following characteristic curves:
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT, inverse time:
t = 0.14 · tSQL>inv / [(ISQL/ISQL>inv)0.02 - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT, very inverse time:
t = 13.5 · tSQL>inv / [(ISQL/ISQL>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type LTI, long time inverse:
t = 120 · tSQL>inv / [(ISQL/ISQL>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT, extremely inverse time:
t = 80 · tSQL>inv / [(ISQL/ISQL>inv)2 - 1]
Where:
t:
operating time
IEeme>:
trip threshold
tEeme>inv:
operating time regulation
The following applies to all inverse time characteristics:
• The minimum trip current is 1.1 times the set threshold (asymptotic reference time).
• The minimum operating time t is 0.1 s.
• The characteristics are defined between 1.1 and 20 times the set threshold;[1] if threshodl regulation
exceeds 2.5 In, the upper limit of the measurement range is 10 IEn.
For definite time trip characteristics, the upper limit of the measurement range is 10 IEn.
The threshold can be enabled or disabled by setting to ON or OFF the parameter IEeme> Ena-
ble in the menu Set \ Protections \ Residual emergency overcurrent - 51N(Eme) \ Threshold IEeme>
\ Parameters.
The first threshold can be set to definite or inverse time with parameter IEeme>Curve (INDIP-
ENDENTE, NIT, VIT, EIT, LIT) in the menu Set \ Portections \ Residual emergency overcur-
rent - 51N(Eme) \ Threshold IEeme> \ Parameters.
In the same way, the first threshold can be inhibited by the start of the second threshold with Deacti-
vation INe> by start INe>> (INe>>disbyIE>>) in the menu Set \ Protections \ Residual emergen-
cy overcurrent - 51N(Eme) \ Threshold IEeme> \ Parameters.
A constant reset time can be set for each of the thresholds tEeme>RES.
Shrink time
If the threshold is programmed with definite time characteristic you can set the contracted time by
setting to ON the parameter EnTcIEeme>def and regulating the contracted time (tcIEeme>-
def) and the operating time (tatcIEeme>def).
Once the breaker closes, during the operating time (e.g.: tatcIEeme>def), the value of the trip
time (e.g.: tEeme>def ) is replaced by the contracted time (e.g.: tcIEeme>def ); when the oper-
ating time expires the trip time is reset (e.g.: tEeme>def ).
The related parameters are available in the menu Set \ Protections \ Residual emergency overcur-

Preface
This function has two adjustable thresholds with programmable trip time.
The trip characteristic for the first threshold can be selected with definite or inverse time per IEC
60255-3/BS142.
The trip characteristic for the second threshold is definite time.
Each protection threshold can be enabled or disabled.
The first threshold can be inhibited by the start of the second threshold.
Measurement criterion
The undervoltage protection measures the fundamental component of three voltages, selected from
the three phase voltages UL1, UL2, UL3 or the three phase-to-phase voltages U12, U23, U31, where the
latter are calculated as:
Operation and settings
Each of the three measured voltages is compared with the set thresholds (U>, U>>). The start and trip
logic for each threshold can be set to “OR” or “AND”.
When set to OR, when at least one of the three measured voltages exceeds the set threshold, the
threshold itself starts (Start) and the timer starts counting.
If the condition persists, when the operating time expires (tU>, tU>>), the threshold trips (Trip), other-
wise the threshold is reset.
When set to AND, when all three measured voltages exceed the set threshold, the threshold itself
starts (Start) and the timer starts counting.
If the condition persists, when the operating time expires (tU>, tU>>), the threshold trips (Trip), other-
wise the threshold is reset.
The first threshold can be set to definite or inverse time with the following characteristic curves:
t=0.5 tU>inv / [(U/U>inv) - 1]
where t is the operating time, U is the measured voltage, U>inv and tU>inv are the set threshold and
trip time. The set operating time refers to a voltage of 1.5 times the set threshold. The minimum trip
voltage is 1.1 times the set threshold. The characteristic is defined between 1.1 and 4 times the set
threshold; if the threshold regulation exceed 0.5 Un, the upper limit of the measurement range is 2 Un.
The minimum operating time t is 0.1 s.
The definite or inverse time characteristic is selected with the parameter U> Curve in the menu
Set \ Protections \ Overvoltage - 59 \ Threshold U> \ Parameters.
Each protection threshold can be enabled or disabled by setting to ON or OFF the parameter U>
Enable in the menu Set \ Protections \ Overvoltage - 59 \ Threshold U> \ Parameters and/or State
in the menu Set \ Protections \ Overvoltage - 59 \ Threshold U>> \ Definite time.
The type of three-phase voltage measurement (phase voltage or phase-to-phase voltage), like the
protection logic (AND or OR of the three voltages), is set in the menu Set \ Protections \ Overvoltage
- 59 \ Common configurations, by setting parameter Utype59; the possible settings are Uph-ph
(phase-to-phase) and Uph-n (phase).
When set to Uph-ph (phase-to-phase), the thresholds are expressed in p.u. Un; when set to Uph-n
(phase), the thresholds are expressed in p.u. En.

Preface
This function has two adjustable thresholds with programmable trip time.
Since only the fundamental component of the residual voltage is measured (direct or calculated), the
protection is not sensitive to the components of the third harmonic and its multiples.
The trip characteristic for the first threshold can be selected with definite or inverse time per IEC
60255-3/BS142.
The trip characteristic for the second threshold is definite time.
Each protection threshold can be enabled or disabled.
The first threshold can be inhibited by the start of the second threshold.
Measurement criterion
Two separate measurements of the residual voltage are available:
• Direct.
• Calculated.
In the first case, the protection uses the fundamental component of the residual voltage UE measured
at the residual voltage input, while in the second it uses the fundamental component of the residual
voltage UEC resulting from the vectorial sum of the phasors of the three phase voltages measured at
the voltmetric phase inputs.
Operation and settings
The protection compares the above residual voltage measurement (UE or UEC) with the set thresholds
(UE>, UE>>) and violating either threshold starts (START) the threshold and its counter (tUE>, tUE>>).
If the threshold violation persists, when its set trip time expires, the threshold trips (TRIP), otherwise
the threshold is reset.
The first threshold UE> can be set to definite or inverse time with a trip characteristic of the type:
t=0.5 tUE> / [(UE/UE>inv) - 1] o
t=0.5 tUE> / [(UEC/UE>inv) - 1]
where t is the trip time, UE and UEC are the direct and calculated measurements of the residual volt-
age respectively, and UE> and tUE> are the set threshold and operating time. The set operating time
refers to a voltage of 1.5 times the set threshold. The minimum trip voltage is 1.1 times the set thresh-
old. The characteristic is defined between 1.1 and 4 times the set threshold.
The minimum operating time t is 0.1 s.
The definite or inverse time characteristic is selected with the parameter UE> Curve in the menu
Set \ Protections \ Residual overvoltage - 59N \ Threshold UE> \ Parameters.
Each protection threshold can be enabled or disabled by setting to ON or OFF the parameter UE>
Enable in the menu Set \ Protections \ Residual overvoltage - 59N \ Threshold UE> \ Parameters
and/or State in the menu Set \ Protections \ Residual overvoltage - 59N \ Threshold UE>> \ Definite

The type of residual voltage measurement (direct or calculated) can be set in the menu Set \ Protec-
tions \ Residual overvoltage - 59N \ Common configurations, by setting 3Votype59N; the available
settings are UE (direct) and UEC (calculated).
When set to UE (direct measurement), the thresholds are expressed in p.u. UEn; when set to UEC
(calculated voltage) the thresholds are expressed in p.u. UECn.

Preface
This function has one adjustable threshold with programmable trip time.
Since only the fundamental component of the residual voltage is measured (direct or calculated), the
protection is not sensitive to the components of the third harmonic and its multiples.
The trip characteristic for the threshold can be selected with definite or inverse time per IEC 60255-3/
BS142.
The protection can be enabled or disabled; the function is automatically enabled if the amperometric
measurement chain fails (function 74CT tripped).
Measurement criterion
Two separate measurements of the residual voltage are available:
• Direct.
• Calculated.
In the first case, the protection uses the fundamental component of the residual voltage UE meas-
ured at the residual voltage input, while in the second it uses the fundamental component of the
residual voltage UEC resulting from the vectorial sum of the phasors of the three phase voltages
measured at the voltmetric phase inputs.
Operation and settings
The protection compares the above residual voltage measurement (UE or UEC) with the set thresh-
olds (UEeme>) and violating the threshold starts (START) the threshold and its counter (tUEeme>). If the
threshold violation persists, when its set trip time expires, the threshold trips (TRIP), otherwise the
threshold is reset.
The threshold UEeme> can be set to definite or inverse time with a trip characteristic of the type:
t=0.5 tUEeme> / [(UE/UEeme>inv) - 1] o
t=0.5 tUEeme> / [(UEC/UEeme>inv) - 1]
where t is the trip time, UE and UEC are the direct and calculated measurements of the residual volt-
age respectively, and UEeme> and tUEeme> are the set threshold and operating time. The set operating
time refers to a voltage of 1.5 times the set threshold. The minimum trip voltage is 1.1 times the set
threshold. The characteristic is defined between 1.1 and 4 times the set threshold.
The minimum operating time t is 0.1 s.
The definite or inverse time characteristic is selected with the parameter UEeme> Curve in the
menu Set \ Protections \ Residual overvoltage - 59N(Eme) \ Threshold UEeme> \ Parameters.

Preface
This function has four adjustable thresholds with programmable trip time.
The trip characteristic for the first two thresholds can be selected with definite or inverse time per
IEC 60255-3/BS142.
The trip characteristic for thresholds I>>> and I>>>> is definite time.
A constant reset time can be set for each threshold, to reduce the time for eliminating intermittent
faults (while being no less than the protection start time).
Each protection threshold can be enabled or disabled.
The first threshold can be inhibited when at least one of the three thresholds starts, just as the sec-
ond threshold can be inhibited when the third threshold starts and the third when the fourth starts.
The protection includes a voltage memory which, should all three voltages be lower than 2% Un,
saves the phase shift of the currents relative to the voltages prior to the fault for at least 1 s.
Operation and settings
If the current IL2 is not available, it is reconstructed vectorially.
The trip characteristic for thresholds IPD>, IPD>> can be selected with definite or inverse time per the
following characteristic curves:
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT, inverse time:
t = 0.14 · tPD>inv / [(IPD/IPD>inv)0.02 - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT, very inverse time:
t = 13.5 · tPD>inv / [(IPD/IPD>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type LTI, long time inverse:
t = 120 · tPD>inv / [(IPD/IPD>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT, extremely inverse time:
t = 80 · tPD>inv / [(IPD/IPD>inv)2 - 1]
Where:
t:
operating time
IPD>inv:
trip threshold (IPD>inv, IPD>>inv) for the first and second threshold
tPD>inv:
trip threshold regulation (tPD>inv, tPD>>inv) for the first and second threshold
The trip characteristic for the third and fourth thresholds (IPD>>>def, IPD>>>>def) is definite time.
The following applies to all the above inverse time characteristics:
• The minimum trip current is 1.1 times the set threshold (asymptotic reference time).
• The characteristics are defined between 1.1 and 20 times the set threshold;[1] if threshold regula-
tion exceeds 2.5 In, the upper limit of the measurement range is 30 In.
• The minimum operating time t is 0.1 s.
• For definite time trip characteristics, the upper limit of the measurement range is 30 In.
Two separate detection criteria are available:
• Violation of the phase current threshold (modulus mode)
• Violation of the projection of the phase current along the characteristic axis (projection mode).
For both criteria, the polarising parameter used as a reference for the measurement of the current
phase shift in each of the three phases is the phase-to-phase voltage relative to the two remaining
phases (phase-to-phase voltage delayed by 90° relative to the current when the electrical system
power factor is one).
Note 1 For input values greater than 20 times the threshold, the operating time is limited to the value corresponding to 20 times the threshold

It follows that for both the above criteria, the protection measures:
• For phase L1, the phase shift α1 of current phasor IL1 relative to phasor U23, negative with current
delayed relative to the voltage (α1 = ∠ IL1 - ∠ U23, where ∠ is the argument operator).
• For phase L2, the phase shift α2 of current phasor IL2 relative to phasor U31, negative with current
delayed relative to the voltage (α2 = ∠ IL2 - ∠ U31).
If the current IL2 is not available, it is reconstructed vectorially.
• For phase L3, the phase shift α3 of current phasor IL3 relative to phasor U12, negative with current
delayed relative to the voltage (α3 = ∠ IL3 - ∠ U12).
The operating mode can be selected in the menu Set \ Protections \ Maximum directional current
- 67 \ Common configurations, by setting Mode67; the available values are I (modulus mode) and
I*cos (projection mode). For each of the four thresholds (IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>>, IPD>>>>) the charac-
teristic angle can be regulated (in the range 0…359° common to the three phases) relative to the
polarising parameter (θ>, θ>>, θ>>>, θ>>>>), conventionally assumed to be positive in the clockwise
direction.
The regulation of the characteristic angle identifies the angular position of the characteristic half-ax-
is, which represents the bisector of the angular trip sector with an angular amplitude of 180°.
A regulation of the characteristic angle in the range 0°...90° or 270°...359° corresponds to protection
“towards line”, while regulation in the range 91°...269° corresponds to protection “towards bar”.
The parameters are available in the menu relating to the four thresholds, separately for the definite
and inverse time functions (where available).
Two separate protection trip logics are available:
• One of three - 1/3, in which it is sufficient that one of the three phases violate the set threshold.
• Two of three - 2/3, in which at least two of the three phases must violate the set threshold.
The trip logic can be selected in the menu Set \ Protections \ Maximum directional current - 67 \
Common configurations, by setting Logic67; the available values are 1/3 (at least one current)
and 2/3 (at least two currents).
When modulus mode detection and one of three - 1/3 trip logic are selected, the start (START) of any
threshold of protection 67 occurs when the following two conditions are both satisfied:
A) In at least one phase, the fundamental component of the current (IL1, IL2, IL3) violates the set
threshold (IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>>, IPD>>>>).
B) The current phasor for the phase in point A) is in the angular sector with semi-am-
plitude 90° and bisector the characteristic half-axis of the threshold in point A)
(ThetaP>, ThetaP>>, ThetaP>>>, ThetaP>>>>), i.e. the condition -90° ≤ (ThetaP-αx) ≤ +90° is satis-
fied, in which x is the index of the phase/s in point A) (x = 1, 2 or 3) and ThetaP is the regulation of
the characteristic angle of the threshold in point A (ThetaP>, ThetaP>>, ThetaP>>>, ThetaP>>>>).
When the threshold starts, so does its timer.
If for the entire operating time of the threshold (tPD>, tPD>>, tPD>>>, tPD>>>>) the conditions in points A)
and B) persist, when the time expires the threshold trips (TRIP), otherwise it resets.
When modulus mode detection and two of three - 2/3 trip logic are selected, the start (START) of any
threshold of protection 67 occurs when the following two conditions are both satisfied:
C) In at least one pair of phases the fundamental component of the current (IL1 e IL2, IL2 e IL3, IL3 e IL1)
violates the threshold (IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>>, IPD>>>>).
D) The current phasors for the pair of phases in point C) are both in the angular sec-
tor with semi-amplitude 90° and bisector the characteristic sector for the thresh-
old in point C) (ThetaP>, ThetaP>>, ThetaP>>>, ThetaP>>>>), i.e. the condition -90°
≤ (ThetaP-αx) ≤ +90° is satisfied, where x is the index of the pair of phases in point 1
(IL1 and IL2, IL2 and IL3, IL3 and IL1) and ThetaP is the regulation of the characteristic angle of the
threshold in point C (ThetaP>, ThetaP>>, ThetaP>>>, ThetaP>>>>).
When the threshold starts, so does its timer.
If for the entire operating time of the threshold (tPD>, tPD>>, tPD>>>, tPD>>>>) the conditions in points C)
and D) persist, when the time expires the threshold trips (TRIP), otherwise it resets.
When projection mode detection and one of three - 1/3, trip logic are selected, the start (START) of
any threshold of protection 67 occurs when one of the following two conditions is satisfied:
• the projection of the current phasor for at least one phase along the characteristic axis ILx-
cos(ThetaP>-αx), ILxcos(ThetaP>>-αx), ILxcos(ThetaP>>>-αx), ILxcos(ThetaP>>-αx) (x=1, 2, 3) is
positive and violates the threshold (IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>>, IPD>>>>).
• in at least one phase, the fundamental component of the current (IL1, IL2, IL3) violates the set thresh-
old (IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>>, IPD>>>>).
When the threshold starts, so does its timer.
If for the entire operating time of the threshold (tPD>, tPD>>, tPD>>>, tPD>>>>) the above condition per-
sists, when the time expires the threshold trips (TRIP), otherwise it resets.
DMC3S - Manual - 08 - 2021
When projection mode detection and two of three - 2/3 trip logic are selected, the start (START) of

ILxcos(θ>-αx), ILxcos(θ>>-αx), ILxcos(θ>>>-αx), ILxcos(θ>-αx) (x=1 and 2, 2 and 3, 3 and 1) is positive

Voltage memory
To increase reliability in all fault conditions, the protection has a voltage memory.
This makes it possible to determine the direction of the current even in case of a fault in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the voltage transformers. In this situation the protection uses a fictitious polarisation
voltage signal which corresponds to the memorised voltage from the cycle preceding the fault.
The memorised voltage is used as a reference for one second after all three phase-to-phase voltag-
es drop to a value of less than 2% Un.

Functional diagram of the frst threshold (IPD>) of the maximum directional current function 67
DMC3S - Manual - 08 - 2021
— Ground directional overcurrent - 67N
Preface
This function has five adjustable thresholds with programmable trip time.
The trip characteristic for the first two thresholds can be selected with definite or inverse time per
IEC 60255-3/BS142.
The trip characteristic for thresholds IED>>b, IED>>> and IEDSb is definite time.
There are also protection functions against intermittent arcs and evolving faults, based on measur-
ing the directional ground current and residual voltage, implementing the logics described below.
A constant reset time can be set for each of the thresholds.
Each protection threshold can be enabled or disabled.
Operation and settings
Two separate detection criteria are available:
• Violation of the residual current threshold (modulus mode)
• Violation of the projection of the residual current along the characteristic axis (projection mode).
The first and second thresholds IED>, IED>>b can be selected with definite or inverse time per the
following characteristic curves:
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT, inverse time:
t = 0.14 · tED>inv / [(IED/IED>inv)0.02 - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT, very inverse time:
t = 13.5 · tED>inv / [(IPD/IED>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type LTI, long time inverse:
t = 120 · tED>inv / [(IED/IED>inv) - 1]
• IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT, extremely inverse time:
t = 80 · tPD>inv / [(IED/IED>inv)2 - 1]
Where:
t:
operating time
IED>inv:
trip threshold (IED>inv, IED>>ainv) for the first and second threshold
tED>inv:
trip threshold regulation (tED>inv, tED>>ainv) for the first and second threshold
The trip characteristic for thresholds IED>>b, IED>>> and IEESb is definite time.
The following applies to all the above inverse time characteristics:
• The minimum trip current is 1.1 times the set threshold (asymptotic reference time).
• The characteristics are defined between 1.1 and 20 times the set threshold;[1] if threshold regula-
tion exceeds 0.5 IEn, the upper limit of the measurement range is 10 IEn.
• The minimum operating time t is 0.1 s.
• For definite time trip characteristics, the upper limit of the measurement range is 10 IEn.
Note 1 For input values greater than 20 times the threshold, the operating time is limited to the value corresponding to 20 times the threshold

Trip characteristic of the thresholds of the ground directional overcurrent protection - 67N
TRIP
DMC3S - Manual - 08 - 2021
The operating mode can be selected in the menu Set \ Protections \ Ground directional overcurrent
- 67N \ Common configurations, by setting Mode67N; the available values are I (modulus mode)
and I*cos (projection mode).
For both operating modes, the polarising parameter used as a reference in measuring the phase shift
of the residual current can be selected from the following two options:
• Direct residual voltage, in which the protection uses the residual voltage UE phasor measured
directly at the residual voltage input.
• Calculated residual voltage, in which the protection uses the residual voltage UEC phasor whose
modulus and argument are calculated as the fundamental component and phase respectively of
the sum of the instantaneous values of the three phase voltages measured at the voltmetric phase
inputs.
It follows that for both of the above detection criteria, the protection measures the phase shift of the
residual current IE phasor relative to the residual current phasor (UE con for “direct residual voltage”
or UEC for “calculated residual voltage”), positive when the current is delayed relative to the voltage
(ΦE=(∠UE - ∠IE, ΦEC=(∠UEC - ∠IE, where ∠ is the argument operator).
The type of residual voltage measurement can be set in the menu Set \ Configuration parameters
A(or B) \ Ground directional overcurrent - 67N \ Common configurations, parameter 3Votype67N;
the available settings are UE (direct) and UEC (calculated).
When set to UE (direct measurement), the thresholds are expressed in p.u. UEn; when set to UEC
(calculated voltage) the thresholds are expressed in p.u. UECn.
For each of the thresholds IED>, IED>>a, IED>>b, IED>>> and IEDSb the characteristic angle can be
regulated relative to the polarising parameter, conventionally positive in the clockwise direction. The
characteristic angle can be regulated in the range 0…359°. The regulation of the characteristic an-
gle identifies the angular position of the characteristic half-axis, which represents the bisector of the
angular trip sector. In an electrical system with isolated neutral, a 90° regulation of the character-
istic angle corresponds to a directionality of the protection “towards line”, while 270° corresponds
to “towards bar”.

For each of the thresholds IED>, IED>>a, IED>>b, IED>>> and IEDSb the angular trip semi-sector can be
regulated relative to the characteristic half-axis in the range 1…180°.
For all four thresholds (common configuration), (“Insens-Zone=ON”) activates and (“Ins-
ens-Zone=OFF”) deactivates a zone of insensitivity in the voltage current characteristic of protec-
tion 67N. When activated, the insensitivity zone remains defined between the set amperometric and
voltmetric thresholds and their values multiplied by M, which can be set in the range 1.5…10.0 for
all four thresholds together. This insensitivity zone can be used to prevent undesirable trip of the
protection due to permanent residual voltages and currents which violate the configured thresholds.
The parameters Insens-Zone (OFF, ON) and M can be set in the menu Set \ Protections \ Ground
directional overcurrent - 67N \ Common configurations.
Form
In modulus operating mode, if the protection is not switched to non-directional, the start (START) of
any threshold of protection 67N occurs when the following conditions A) and B) are both satisfied:
A) With “Insens-Zone=OFF”:
- Value of the residual current (IE) greater than the amperometric threshold (IED>, IED>>, IED>>>, IED>>>>)
AND
- Value of the residual voltage (UE or UEC) greater than the corresponding voltmetric threshold (UED>,

AND
- Value of the residual voltage (UE or UEC) greater than the corresponding voltmetric threshold (UED>,

B) The residual current (IE) phasor is included in the angular sector with half-amplitude correspond-
ing to the regulation of the threshold in point A) with bisector the characteristic semi-axis of the
threshold in point A).

— Logical block - Block1
To block the trip of a given protection function, one can map to the logical block function to the
logical inputs.[1]
The logical inputs are mapped in the menu Set \ Input board inputs \ Input IN1-1 (Input IN1-6); select
Logical block for the parameter Input function IN1-x (x=1...6)
All protection functions for which the logical block is enabled are blocked when the signal is active.
The status of the function's logical block is available in read (ThySetter and comms interfaces); it is
active when the following conditions obtain simultaneously:
• Logical input activated,
• Start of function active (ON),
• Trip of function in standby (OFF).
The logical block is not subject to inhibition criteria after a programmable delay, hence the associat-
ed protection function is block for as long as the input remains active.[2]
Note 1 In this description, the logical block is called both “Logical block” and “Block1” without distinction
Note 2 The block signal holds the timer in reset

— EAC (Equilibratore Automatico di Carico) [ALB frequency (Automatic Load Balancer)] protection
Preface
EAC (Equilibratore Automatico di Carico) [ALB frequency (Automatic Load Balancer)] protection
processes the following values:
• frequency [Hz];
• derivative of the frequency [Hz/s].
The introduction of the derivative of the frequency is motivated by the need to quickly deal with
situations caused by large power deficits.
The protection has the following regulations:
• Block functions
• Filter functions (measurement means and times)
• EAC1 : 81U, 81O, 81R
• EAC2 : 81U, 81O, 81R
The frequency and frequency derivative values are measured for each phase voltage:
• UL1
• UL2
• UL3
Operating logic
The functions EACx (EAC1, EAC2):
• First maximum/minimum threshold (81O/81U) frequency
f>/f<1a [fxa]
• Second maximum/minimum threshold (81O/81U) frequency
f>/f<1b [fxb]
• Maximum frequency derivative threshold (81R)
df>1 [dfx/dt]
can be blocked when one of the following thresholds is violated:
• Minimum voltage

With EACx enabled (no block) LEDs and relays can be associated for local and remote verification.
Increasing reliability
For more precise measurements and improved insensitivity to transients, the following settings can
be made:
• Number of semi-periods for the average of the frequencies
• Number of semi-periods for calculating the first scale df/dt
• Number of semi-periods for calculating the second scale df/dt
• Number of semi-periods for calculating the third scale df/dt
• Number of averages for calculating the first scale df/dt
• Number of averages for calculating the second scale df/dt
• Number of averages for calculating the third scale df/dt

— Second harmonic restraint - 2ndh-REST
Preface
When a power transformer is powered up, the phenomenon of inrush current occurs, teh amount
and duration of which depends on a variety of factors, including:
• Instantaneous value of the power voltage.
• Structural characteristics of the transformer, magnetisation characteristic and dimensions.
• Residual flux.
The maximum value of the inrush current is obtained when the transformer is powered with voltage
applied when the sine wave passes through zero, in the positive or negative direction, with positive
or negative residual flux respectively.
Furthermore, the ratio between the maximum inrush current and the nominal transformer current
diminishes with the size of the transformer itself.
In any case, the inrush current contains a significant second harmonic component.
To prevent the slow intervention of certain protections due to the inrush current, the second har-
monic restraint function can be enabled for each threshold of protections 46, 50/51, 50N/51N, 51N(E),
51N(Eme), 51(SQL), 67 and 67N.
Operating logic
The second harmonic component of each phase current (IL1-2nd, IL2-2nd, IL3-2nd) is compared with an
adjustable threshold I2ndh>.
When one or two of the three second harmonic components violate the threshold, the threshold
itself starts.
To keep the protection functions blocked until they are reset, the second harmonic restraint function
features an adjustable reset time t2ndh>RES.
Protections for which the second harmonic restraint is enabled are blocked for an adjustable maxi-
mum time; the parameter t2ndH-REST can be set in the menu Set \ Protections \ Second harmonic
restraint - 2ndh-REST.

— Breaker monitoring
Preface
A variety of diagnostic, measurement and control functions are provided:
• The relay determines the position of the breaker by monitoring the status of auxiliary contacts 52a
and 52b. This information enables the user to issue the open/close commands in complete safety.
• An approximate threshold for the wear of the breaker's poles can be set; when the sum of the in-
terrupted currents (SI or SI2) or the number of opening commands violates this threshold, an alarm
signal is issued. This function enables the user to schedule maintenance.
• The relay determines the opening time by monitoring the status of auxiliary contacts 52a and 52b; if
it is too high, an alarm signal is issued.
Operating logic
By convention, the status of auxiliary contact 52a corresponds to the position of the breaker (52a
open = breaker open), while that of 52b is opposite to the position of the breaker (52b open = breaker
closed); the two auxiliary contacts must be mapped to two logical inputs.
To do so, the functions 52a and 52b must be configured in the menu Set \ Input board inputs \ Input
IN1-1...(Input IN1-6).
The said logical inputs must be programmed with Direct logic and the activation/deactivation timers
IN1 tON, INx tON, IN1 tOFF and INx tOFF must be zeroed and set to DIRECT operating
logic.
BREAKER CONTROL
Two output relays can be programmed to open and close the breaker; to do so, set the parameters
CBopen-K and CBclose-K in the menu Set \ Breaker monitoring \ Associated relays-LEDs; the
position of the breaker can be displayed by assigning the status to two LEDs (parameters CBopen-L
and CBclosed-L).
All parameters are common to the two calibration configurations.
OPENING COMMAND BREAKER DIAGNOSTICS
The breaker diagnostic function uses a variety of criteria to estimate the wear of the breaker.
1) Opening command count (ModeN.Open ON). When the set threshold is violated (N.Open) an
alarm signal is issued, which can be assigned to a final relay and/or indicator LED.
2) Opening load command count (ModeN.MnvLoad ON). When the set threshold is violated
(N.MnvLoad) an alarm signal is issued, which can be assigned to a final relay and/or indicator
LED.
3) Opening no load command count (ModeN.MnvNoLoad ON). When the set threshold is vio-
lated (N.MnvNoLoad) an alarm signal is issued, which can be assigned to a final relay and/or
indicator LED.
4) Sum of interrupted currents at each pole (ModeSumI ON). When the set threshold is violated
(SumI) an alarm signal is issued, which can be assigned to a final relay and/or indicator LED..
5) I2t sum of interrupted currents at each pole (ModeSumI ON). The protection calculates the sum
of the specific pass-through energy I2t on the basis of the measurement of the phase currents at
the time of the open command, and using the user programmable breaker opening time specifical-
ly provided for calculating I2t (tbreak). When the set threshold is violated (SumI^2t) an alarm
signal is issued, which can be assigned to a final relay and/or indicator LED..
6) Duration of open command (Mode-tOpen ON). The protection measures the time between
the trip command of a protection function, selected in relation to the associated final relay
(Ktrig-break), and acquisition of the breaker open status. When the set time period is exceeded
(tbreak>) an alarm signal is issued, which can be assigned to a final relay and/or indicator LED..

CLOSING COMMAND BREAKER DIAGNOSTICS
The breaker diagnostic function uses a variety of criteria to estimate the wear of the breaker.
1) Closing command count (ModeN.Close ON). When the set threshold is violated (N.Close) an
alarm signal is issued, which can be assigned to a final relay and/or indicator LED.
2) Duration of close command (Mode-tClose ON). The protection measures the time between the
close command, selected in relation to the associated final relay (Ktrig-Close), and acquisition
of the breaker closed status. When the set time period is exceeded (tClose>) an alarm signal is
issued, which can be assigned to a final relay and/or indicator LED..
CYCLIC OPERATION OF THE BREAKER
The DMC panel has a function (which can be enabled/disabled) which cyclically operates the break-
er.
The function is active:
• when the breaker is closed,
• when the line is in service,
• when no protection functions have been actuated,
• when no cyclic reclosing is in progress.
Cyclic operation is characterised by an Open-Close cycle scheduled by days, time periods and fre-
quencies, with programmable duration of the Open state.
The function is automatically delayed by 60 minutes if a protection function is in start status (not
followed by trip). If a function has tripped or a manual command is given (whether local/remote), the
cyclic function is postponed to the next programmed trip day.

— CT Monitoring - 74CT
Preface
The function detects interruptions of the secondary phase CT circuits and/or DMC3S panel input cir-
cuits by measuring the symmetry of the secondary CT currents themselves. The symmetry is meas-
ured in terms of the ratio between the minimum and maximum RMS values of the three fundamental
components of the three phase currents (ILMIN /ILMAX).
The function starts if both the following conditions are satisfied:
• (ILMIN /ILMAX) < S<
• ILMAX > I*
where S< is the trip threshold and I* is the maximum threshold of the three phase currents, both of
which can be set by the user.
When the function starts, so does the count of timer tS<. If the two above conditions persist, when
the operating time expires, the function trips (Trip), otherwise it is reset. The trip characteristic is
definite time.

— VT monitoring - 74VT
Preface
The line VT monitoring function is used to detect faults on the voltmetric inputs from the VT line relay.
Such faults may typically be due to interruptions in the secondary connections of the TVs or faults on
the relay's internal measurement circuitry.
The function is used both to provide an alarm signal and activate emergency function 51N (51N Eme)
and to block functions 25, 32P, 67 and 67(N) which may intervene incorrectly in the absence of the
measured voltages. The function detects VT faults under the following conditions:
• loss of one or two phase voltages;
• loss of the three phase voltages under load;
• absence of the three phase voltages after power up.
• Loss of one or two phase voltages;
This fault in the voltage measurement circuits causes a negative sequence voltage component to
appear, but without the negative sequence current component. The loss of one or two phase volt-
ages is detected when the negative sequence voltage component violates an adjustable threshold
(U2VT>) and the negative sequence current component is below an adjustable threshold (I2VT>).
The negative sequence current component is calculated as follows:
I2 = (I∙L1+e-j120°I∙L2+e+j120°I∙L3)/3,
The negative sequence voltage component is calculated as follows:
U2 = (U∙L1+e-j120°U∙L2+e+j120°U∙L3)/3,
where e-j120° = -1/2 - j√3/2 e e+j120° = -1/2 + j√3/2
• Loss of the three phase voltages under load
Loss of the three phase voltages under load is detected when the fundamental component of all
three phase voltages falls below a configurable threshold (UVT<) and all three phase currents dur-
ing the current grid parameter period (IL1(k), IL2(k), IL3(k)) do not differ from an adjustable threshold
(DIVT<) from the value of the same currents measured over the preceding period (IL1(k-1), IL2(k-1),
IL3(k-1)). By checking whether the currents vary between the current and previous grid periods we
avoid erroneous activation of function 74VT in case of a three-phase dead short close to the TVs,
when the voltages suffer a drastic drop and the currents increase rapidly. Under load, on the other
hand, the currents do not vary, or the variation due to a change in the load, is lower than that expe-
rienced during a short circuit.
• Absence of the three phase voltages after power up
The absence of the three phase voltages after power up is detected when the breaker is closed
and the three phase voltages (UL1, UL2, UL3) are all below the adjustable threshold (UVT<) and the
three phase currents (IL1, IL2, IL3) are all below the adjustable threshold (IVT>) - the latter must be
set to a value greater than the current present when the load is powered up, but lower than the
short circuit current.
If the parameter 74VT-BLK1 is set to ON and a logical input is set to acquire the logical block
(Block1), the function is blocked for the activation time of the logical input in question. The operating
timer is held in reset mode so that the operating time count starts when the block signal expires;[1]the
logical block function can be assigned to the input in the menu Set \ Input board inputs \ Input IN1-1...
(Input IN1-6).
All parameters are available in the menu Set \ VT -74VT monitoring
Functional block (Block3)
When a fault is detected under one of the three preceding conditions, the VT monitoring function
activates the 51N emergency function (51N eme), blocks functions 25, 32P, 67 and 67N) and, after a
configurable delay tVT-AL, issues an alarm.
Notes 1 For a detailed description of the operation of the logical block (Block 1) refer to the paragraph “Logical block” in the chapter MONITORING AND

Functional diagram of the VT monitoring function (74VT)
Activates 74VT when one or more phase voltages is lost and no negative sequence current is available (to discriminate disymmetric short circuits).
Activates 74VT when all three phase voltages are lost with e generator under load.
Activates 74VT when all three phase voltage are absent during line power up (VT not connected), and checks that none of the three currents are greater than
IVT>. To not activate 74VT on closing to a polyphase shirt circuit, IVT> must be set to a value lower than ICC (but greater than the maximum load inrush
current). In any case the breaker must be closed, otherwise 74VT activates with the machine stopped.
Inhibits activation of 74VT on polyphase short circuits, by setting the fip-fop when the current variation of at least one phase is subject to a pulse
variation. The inhibition of 74VT automatically resets when all three phase voltages return above the threshold and the negative sequence voltage
falls below the threshold.
The activation of 74VT is maintained when at least one of conditions A, B and C is satisfed. The function 74VT can be reset manually (so long as the
automatic reset conditions in point D are satisfed) or automatically, if confgured to do so by the user.
Activation of 74VT can be inhibited by a block command applied to a digital input.
Activation of 74VT is always reported. The voltage inverse protections can also be blocked, if so confgured by the user.

— Breaker coils control monitoring
Preface
The breaker open/close circuit can be controlled by the relay to report any faults capable of caus-
ing failure of operation of the breaker due to trip of protections or due to the operator's intentional
commands.
The 74TCS monitoring function detects faults such as circuit interruptions, loss of auxiliary voltage
or interruption/short circuit of the open/close coils.
The supervision is implemented by means of detection of the current circulating in the breaker's
coilss, the operating logic is selected automatically by the protection function itself.
Operating logic
The command circuit monitoring function can be enabled or disabled; to do so set to ON or OFF the
parameter FMCBCOIL Enable in the menu Set \ Breaker coils control monitoring.
When the breaker is closed, diagnostics are run on the opening coils, and vice-versa.
If the position is not congruent, diagnostics are run on both coilss.
A circuit fault is reported when the current IR is below the set threshold during the CH pulse (close
command) or AP pulse (open command). The duration of the CH and AP pulses can be set in the

Since this condition can arise even when the breaker's opening circuit is operating (e.g.: the protec-
tion has commanded opening but the opening time has not yet passed), to prevent incorrect report-
ing, the fault condition is controlled cyclically every 60 s, the first under threshold condition initiates
the START, and if this condition persists for a further 120 s (60+60) the TRIP is actuated; if, on the
other hand, IR returns above the thrshold everything is working properly and the START is aborted.

— Synchrocheck relay (Synchro check) - 25
Preface
The synchro check function checks that the connection between two grids (synchronous or asyn-
chronous) can be made without risking the stability of the power system.
A typical application is the synchronisation of two bars by means of a coupler.
Measurement inputs
The grid voltages measured at the inputs are used:
• V1: the reference measurement: the parameter Voltage measurement for synchro check
in the menu Set \ Base selects the parameter (phase voltage UL1, UL2 UL3)[1].
• V2 voltage measurement (phase-ground) to be synchronised. The input otherwise used to measure
the residual voltage is used (clamps MV5-MV6); the selection uses the parameter Measurement
UE or V2 in the menu Set \ Base.[1]
Output relays
The synchro check function can activate one or more output relays according to the usual matrix
assignment criterion.
You must select Pulse mode (menu Set \ Relay) and program the duration according to the specifi-
cations of the breaker.
The devices uses the measured difference in frequency between the two grids to determine whether
the grids are synchronous or asynchronous.
Synchronous grids
For synchronous grids the final relay is commanded (synchronisation ok) when the following con-
ditions obtain:
• the trip signal (keypad, logical input or communication) is active,
• the block input signal (keypad, logical input or communication) is inactive,
• the breaker is open,
• the control of inputs V1 and V2 (function 74VT) is ok,
• the two measured frequencies are in the permitted operating range (fn ± fRANGE) for an adjustable
time of no less than tSTAB,
• the difference, which defines the synchronous grid condition, between the two measured frequen-
cies is less than an adjustable threshold (df-GRID) for an adjustable time of no less than tSTAB,
• the value of the two voltages is between a minimum threshold (Vmin-SYNC) and a maximum thresh-
old (Vmax-SYNC), both adjustable, for an adjustable time of no less than tSTAB,
• the difference between the voltages V1 and V2 (with V1 > V2) is less than an adjustable threshold
(dV12-SYNC), or the difference between V2 and V1 (with V1 < V2) is less than an adjustable thresh-
old (dV21-SYNC), for an adjustable time no less than tSTAB,
• the phase shift between V1 and V2 (with V2 delayed relative to V1) is less than an adjustable thresh-
old (dp12-SYNC), or that between V1 and V2 (with V1 delayed relative to V2) is less than an adjusta-
ble threshold (dp21-SYNC), for an adjustable time no less than tSTAB,
• the above conditions persist for a time no less than the adjustable parameter (tSYNC).
If any of the above conditions does not obtain, the close command is not issued.

Asynchronous grids
For asynchronous grids (e.g. two separate distribution grids) the final relay is operated (synchro-
nisation ok) once the comparison between the amplitudes and frequencies has been passed. The
close command is issued in advance of the null phase shift condition, when the measured phase
shift is equal to the value calculated from the delays (relay + breaker close time) and frequency
difference between the two grids (slip frequency). In this way, the contacts close in a condition of
perfect synchronisation.
If a power transformed is present between the two voltage measurement inputs, the amplitude dif-
ferences on both sides must be compensated for. This compensation can be done externally (using
adapter transformers) or internally (software).
The software compensation is programmed using the parameter Phase correction V1-V2 in the
menu Set \ Base[1], so as to compensate for the phase shift without the need for external adapter
transformers. If there is no power transformer or external adapter transformers are used, a null
phase shift must be set.
Control Functions
The following parameters are controlled cyclically:
• Instability of the frequency measurement: if the measurement is unstable, a report is issued, and if
the difference between consecutive measurements is greater than the adjustable value of parame-
ter Rof>SYNC , execution of the parallel is suspended. Setting Rof>SYNC = 0 disables stability control.
• Status of the line VT monitoring function; if faults are detected on the secondary VT connections or
due to intervention of function 74VT, execution of the parallel is suspended.
Operating logic
The synchronisation control sequence can be started by a pulse command generated by:
• automatic reclosing, internal to the protection relay,
• a local command on the front keypad with the
(closing) button
• a command over the comms interface.
When synchronisation control is requested, the congruence controls are run (see the preceding par-
agraph). If a non-permitted state is detected, the Fault Sync report is issued and synchronisation
control is not run.
If, on the other hand, the checks are positive, the synchronisation control sequence is initiated (re-
port SYNC - n IN PROGRESS; with n = 0, 1, 2, depending on the operating mode)..
Only the enable conditions for the current operating mode are checked.
If both voltages are incoming (Mode 0), the device checks whether the two grids are synchronous
or asynchronous by comparing the measured frequency difference to the threshold Df-GRID; if the
difference is less than the threshold, the grids are deemed to be synchronous.
The various operating situations are reported by messages:
If the conditions are satisfied, the synchronisation function issues a close enable signal.
The duration of the enable signal can be adjusted by setting the parameter Operating mode to
PULSE and the duration (Minimum pulse duration) to the desired value for the final relay
programmed in function 25; the parameters are available in the menu Set \ Control board 1 outputs.
You can set the synchronisation attempt timeout (timeout-SYNC) in the menu Set \ Configuration
parameters A \ Synchrocheck relay - 25 \ Common configurations; if the conditions are not satisfied
within this time, the sequence is suspended.
Close command advance
For asynchronous grids the final relay must be commanded (synchronisation ok) in advance to
ensure that the breaker closes in conditions of perfect synchronisation.
Depending on the breaker closing time and the frequency difference (slip frequency) and phase shift
of the measured voltages V1 and V2, the device determines the next synchronisation time. The close
commanded is issued in advance of the synchronisation time by the advance time calculated on the
basis of the frequency difference (∆f).
The electrical advance angle required to compensate for the closing delay of the breaker is defined
by:
A = 360 ∙ (tCB-CLOSE + tMEAS) ∙ ∆f
where:
A: electric angle
tCB-CLOSE: breaker closing time in seconds
tMEAS: protection relay measurement time (acquisition + measurement + final relay time) in seconds
∆f: difference between the measured values of the two grid frequencies (slip frequency) in Hz
For example, with the following values:
tCB-CLOSE: breaker closing time in seconds = 80 ms
tMEAS: protection relay measurement time (acquisition + measurement + final relay time) = 40 ms
f1: frequency of V1 signal = 50 Hz
f4: frequency of V signal = 50.2 Hz
∆f: difference between the measured values of the two grid frequencies (slip frequency) = 0.20 Hz
Note 1 This parameter can only be modified at Level 1
DMC3S - Manual - 08 - 2021
To ensure that the breaker closes in perfect synchronisation, the relay must send the close command
when the phase difference is = 8.6 degrees and V2 is delayed relative to V1.

— Breaker failure - BF
Preface
Should a fault cause a protection to open the breaker but, due to a fault, the breaker cannot open, the
BF protection opens another or other breaker/s to shut off the fault current.
The BF protection can be started when the relay's internal protection trips, so long as the latter is
mapped to the BF protection, or when an external protection connected to one of the relay's logical
inputs trips.
Operating logic
The BF timer starts when both the following conditions are satisfied:
1) The relay's internal protection functions have started and tripped (BF protection thresholds tripped)
or, if enabled, an external protection mapped to one of the relay's logical inputs has tripped.
2) The state of the breaker's auxiliary contacts 52a and 52b corresponds to breaker closed or the
value of the fundamental component of at least one phase current IL1, IL2, IL3 is greater than an ad-
justable threshold IBF> or the fundamental component of the residual current IE is greater than an
adjustable threshold IEBF>. If no information about the state of the breaker is available (e.g.: aux-
iliary contacts not accessible or no free logical inputs on the relay), this control must be disabled.
If the two above conditions persist for the duration of the set operating time tBF>, when the time
expires the BF protection trips, otherwise the timer and protection are both reset.
To reset the BF protection as quickly as possible, following the start of the protection itself (condition
1), the relay's internal protections must not only trip but also start (resetting the start of the protection
functions is faster than resetting their trip).
The protection can be enabled or disabled by setting to ON or OFF the parameter BF Enable in
the menu Set \ Protections \ Breaker failure - BF.
Starting BF with a switch: set to ON the parameter CB Input, if two logical inputs are configured
to acquire the state of the breaker's auxiliary contacts 52a and 52b, breaker state control is enabled.
Breaker state control is enabled in the menu Set \ Protections \ Breaker failure - BF, while the
acquisition of the breaker position is mapped to the logical inputs (52a and 52b) in the menu Set
\ Input board inputs \ Input IN1-1...IN1-6. If no information about the state of the breaker is available,
the control must be disabled by setting to OFF the parameter CB Input.
All parameters IBF>, IEBF and tBF can be programmed separately; they are available in the menu Set \
Protections \ Breaker failure - BF.

AUTOMATION FUNCTIONS
— Logical selectivity block - FSL
Preface
Logical selectivity reduces the time to eliminate faults which, in scalar time system would require
programming significantly long operating times for the power sources.
The implementation of the IEC 61850 protocol provides that panels DV7500, DV7203 and RGDM use
their real time communications capacity to send and receive BLIND signals.
These signals temporarily inhibit the open orders issued by the directional protection functions (67,
67N and 32P) and thus enable exclusive selection of the branch of the line affected by the fault.
When a directional protection function threshold is started, the DMC panel:
• Issues a BLIND GOOSE (IEC61850) over its LAN
• Starts the operating timer (Tatt)
• Starts the back-up timer (Tr) (with Tr>Tatt)
The following situations may occur:
A) If the function resets within the operating time Tatt, so that the start signal returns to standby, all
timers are reset,
B) If the function does not reset within the operating time Tatt and not even one BLIND signal is
received from a device in the list of subscribers, when Tatt expires the DMC panel opens the
breaker and remotely reports the tripped status to the RTU/display,
C) If, whether a BLIND signal is received or not, the function does not drop-out within the drop-out
time Tr, the DMC panel opens the breaker and remotely reports the tripped status to the RTU/
display.

CYBER SECURITY
Preface
The cyber security functions implemented by the DMC3S relays mitigate cyber threats, by providing:
• Protected communications between the DMC3S protection relays and the mapped tool via SSH
(Secure SHell)
• Password based user authentication
• Management of authorisations for Role Based Access Control (RBAC)
• Protected log filing (Syslog service)
The following operative areas can be identified:
• Configuration Management
• HW Systems and Networking Equipment
• Initial System Configuration
• Threat and Vulnerability Management
• Access Control
• Authentication and Authorization Management
• Auditing
• Network Communication Security
The described procedures have been selected in consideration of the following standards and
guidelines:
• ISO/IEC 27001:2013
• NERC CIP – North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection
• IEC 62351
IEC 62351 will be applied if expressly requested, to guarantee control of communications protocols
and data flows.
— Configuration management
Configuration management is a set of procedures which control modifications to hardware, firm-
ware, software and documentation to ensure that all devices are protected against unwanted mod-
ification before, during and after system implementation.
— Hardware systems and networking equipment
The devices are industrial and satisfy industrial quality and EMC standards. Only passive systems
without fans are used for heat management. The devices can be assigned IP addresses on the basis
of pertinent network planning rules. On request, HW protection systems can be installed (tamper-
proofing, etc.).
— Initial system configuration
The protection relays are equipped only with the network services required to execute their protec-
tion programs, thus limiting the number of open TCP / UDP ports. All services and operating systems
are updated to the latest version at the time of release. Access even for "known" users is eliminated
and only one local non-administrator user is left active to install and configure the device initially.
— Threat and vulnerability management
The device's operating system is supported by the vendor to ensure conformity with regular security
bulletins and patches.
— Access control
Further to the local non-administrator user, user authentication can be delegated to a centralised
platform by the RADIUS client, to obtain access to the active Windows directory.
— Authentication and authorization management
AAM ius based on the “RBAC” (Rule Based Access Control) model, i.e. the device allows execution
of functions in relation to the user's assigned role.
The following roles are available:
• “Administrator”: Complete control of the device
• “Operator1”: Limited Level 1 read/write access
• “Operator2”: Limited Level 2 read/write access
— Auditing
The device tracks the most important system operations/actions, like accesses and modifications to
the configuration, with a “syslog” service.
DMC3S - Manual - 08 - 2021
— Network communication security
The device does not use unencrypted protocols like telnet, ftp. All communications required to con-
figure the equipment, such as calibrations, CID transmission, etc. are handled by the “SSH” protocol
in encrypted mode.
Protocols for data exchange with SCADA, e.g. IEC61850 / DNP3 / MODBUSTCP, are not encrypted, if
implementation of IEC62351 specifications is not expressly requested.
The NTP, PTP synchronisation protocols are not normally encrypted.
— Cybersecurity application scheme
The configuration of the DMC3S protection relay and monitoring functions pose problems relating
to the security and privacy of the data traffic exchanged between the equipment and the remote
control centre.
The following aspects must be considered:
• Traffic encryption, so that the data may not be intercepted, analysed and modified
freely by third parties
• Implementation of the authentication mechanism to prevent generation of
false third party messages and their acceptance as valid
— Access procedure
The authentication mechanism consists in sending authentication requests from the incoming board
to a remote RADIUS authentication server which handles user validation, and returns positive or
negative feedback to the CPU depending on whether the user's credentials are valid or not, along
with user level information.
RADIUS authentication employs a remote server and uses a secret shared by the board and the serv-
er to validate requests for access. The configurator enables definition of all the parameters required
for this type of authentication.

APPENDIX
— DMC3S - INVERSE TIME CURVES
General formula
The general formula, pursuant to IEC 60255-3/BS142, is:[1]
Where:
• t = operating time (in seconds).
• t>inv = operating time regulation (in seconds).
• I = measured current.
• I>inv = trip threshold regulation.
Constant α
• α = 0.02 for the IEC type A normal inverse curve.
• α = 1 for the IEC type B very inverse curve.
• α = 1 for the IEC type LTI long time inverse curve.
• α = 2 for the IEC type C extremely inverse curve.
Coefficient K
• K = 0.14 for the IEC type A normal inverse curve
• K = 13.5 for the IEC type B very inverse curve.
• K = 120 for the IEC type LTI long time inverse curve.
• K = 80 for the IEC type C extremely inverse curve.
The following applies to all inverse time characteristics:
• The asymptotic reference value (minimum trip current ) is 1.1 time the set threshold.
• The minimum operating time is 0.1 s.
• The characteristics are defined between 1.1 and 20 times the set threshold[2][3]
For all the following thresholds, with exception of the threshold relating to protections 59 and 59 N,[4]
normalised IEC type A, B, B-LI and C curves can be set.

Note 1 The formula uses the symbols relating to the overcurrent function. The full description of the symbols used in the inverse time curves for protec-
tions 50/51 and 50N/51N are given in 4.4 PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
Note 2 When the threshold regulation exceeds 2.5 In for protection 50/51 and 0.5 IEn for protection 50N/51N, the upper limit of the measurement range
is limited to 30 In and 10 IEn respectively
Note 3 when the threshold regulation exceeds 20 times the threshold, the operating time is limited to the value corresponding to 20 times the threshold
Note 4 The trip characteristic is given in the paragraph describing the operation of the system (Chapter 4)
