tions, and the instant when the relay operates
Dropout ratio
The ratio of a reset value to an operate value in well-specified con-
ditions. The dropout ratio may be lower or greater than 1 according
as an over or under element is considered
Reset time
Duration of the time interval between the instant when the charac-
teristic quantity in operate condition is changed, under specified
conditions, and the instant when the relay operates.
The stated reset time is related to a step variation of characteristic
quantity in operate condition to the reset condition.
Overshoot time
The critical impulse time for a relay which is in its reset condition,
is the longest duration a specified change in the input energizing
quantity(ies) (characteristic quantity), which will cause the relay
to change to operate condition, can be applied without the relay
switches. The overshoot time is the difference from the operate time
and the critical impulse time.
The declared values for the overshoot time are applicable with the
lower setting value of the operation time.

Preface
The relay type NA30 can be used in radial networks as feeder or power transformer protection:
• On long feeders in ungrounded or Petersen coil and/or high resistance grounded systems.
• On the BT side of parallel connect transformers that are protected with differential element with
any grounded systems.
• As ground fault protection of parallel connected generators or generator-transformer unit on the
same Busbar.
Following input circuits are available:
• Three phase current and one residual current inputs with nominal currents independently select-
able at 1 A or 5 A using dip-switch.
• One residual voltage input with nominal voltage programmable in the range 50...130 V (UER=100V).
• Five binary inputs.
• One block input (logic selectivity).
In addition to the main protection element, the breaker failure (BF), CT monitoring (74CT)) and Trip
Circuit Supervision (TCS) are also provided.
Setting, programming and reading operations must be effected by means of Personal Computer with
ThyVisor software or by means of remote communication interface (RS485 bus,Ethernet network and
USB); all operations must be performed through MMI.
According to the hardware configurations, the NA30 protection relay can be shipped in various case
styles depending on the required mounting options:
• Flush.
• Projecting mounting.
• Rack.
• With separate operator panel.
Other options are:
• Auxiliary power supply operating range.
• Communication protocols.

Main features
• Metallic case.
• Backlight LCD 4x16 Display.
• Eight LEDs that may be joined with matrix criteria to many and various functions.
• RESET key to clear LED indications and latched output relays.
• Five free settable binary inputs.
• Independently settable for start, trip, self-test and control six output relay (K1...K6) Each output
relay may be set with normally energized or normally de-energized operating mode and manual or
automatic reset (latched/no-latched).
• Rear Ethernet communication port, with MODBUS TCP/IP® protocol, with RJ45 (copper wires) or
FX (optical fiber) connection.
• Rear RS485 port, with ModBus protocol.
• USB front serial port (local communication for ThyVisor).
• Real time clock with super capacitor.
The most significant constructive features are:
• Galvanically insulated input and output circuits (communication and binary circuits included).
• Optimum filtering of input signals through combined use of analog and digital filters.
• Traditional electromechanical-type final output contacts with continuous monitoring of control coil
continuity.
• Auxiliary supply comprising a switching-type voltage stabilizing circuit having a very wide working
range and a very small power dissipation
• Nominal frequency: 50 or 60 Hz.
The most significant operating features are:
• Programming of operating modes and parameters by means of the front keys and alphanumeric
display, with a programming procedure based on carrying out guided selections and on explicit and
immediate signalling of the operations being performed, so that such procedure can be carried out
without coding tables or mnemonic informations.
• The feature modification operations do not interrupt the normal functions of the relay.
• Impossibility of programming unacceptable parameter values, thanks to the automatic limitation of
top and bottom scale values for the relative setting ranges.
• Currents are sampled 24 times per period and measured in the effective value (RMS) of the funda-
mental component using the DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) algorithm and digital filters.
• The fault recorder (SFR) runs continuously capturing in circular mode the last twenty events upon
trigger of binary input/output and/or element pickup (start-trip).
• The event recorder (SER) runs continuously capturing in circular mode the last three hundred
events upon trigger of binary input/output.

Note 1 The nominal current settings doesn’t concern the protection elements; they must agree with hardware setting (dip-switch 1 A or 5 A) .
Note 2 The basic current IB represents the nominal current of the line or transformer, referred to the nominal current of the CT’s for thermal image
protection. If the secondary rated current of the line CT’s equals the rated current of the NA30 relay, as usually happens, the IB value is the ratio
between the rated current of the protected element and the primary rated current of the CT’s
Note 3 The 26 element is available when the MPT module is connect on Thybus and enabled
Note 4 Dq is the thermal image (p.u. of the basic over temperature corresponding to the basic current IB).
Assuming that the secondary rated current of the line CT’s equals the rated current of the NA30 relay, as usually happens, the IB value is the
ratio between the rated current of the protected element and the primary rated current of the CT’s

Printed boards hold the circuit components arranged according to a modular allocation of the main
functions.
Power supply board
All the components necessary for conversion and stabilization functions are present.
Two versions are envisaged suited to the input ranges 24...48 V and 115...230 V.
The circuit provides stabilized voltages of +10 V and -10 V, required for the analogue measurement,
+24 V for relays and +5 V for supplying the digital circuits.
The circuit board additionally comprises:
INPUT CIRCUITS:
• Five binary input circuits,
• One block input circuit (BLIN1).
The logical input circuits and the block circuits include photo-couplers which provide for galvanic
separation.
OUTPUT CIRCUITS:
• One block output circuit (BLOUT 1),
• Six output relays (k1...K6).
CPU board
This circuit board contains all the circuits necessary for performing the analogue and digital pro-
cessing of the signals.
Analog processing
The following are envisaged:
• Anti aliasing filter circuits,
• Amplifier circuits for conditioning the input signals,
• Reference voltage adjustment circuits for the measurement A/D converter.
The Pro-n relays use a DSP processor operating at 40 MHz; it performs all the processing on the
analogue signals and furthermore coordinates management of the TX-RX signals to the CPU.
The input currents are sampled at a frequency of 24 samples per period by means of a dual conver-
sion system which allows the attainment of information pertaining to polarity and amplitude with high
resolution. The measurement criterion allows precise measurement of even those signals having a
unidirectional component, such as transient currents with overlapping exponential, which typically
appear during faults.
The circuit board also houses the output relays with the corresponding command and control cir-
cuits, communication circuits, buttons, LCD display, LEDs and the key switch.
CPU
A 32 bit CPU is provided.
The following are envisaged:
• Real Time Clock circuits with oscillator and super capacitor,
• USB communication port,
• RS485 communication port,
• Thybus communication circuits for external modules and MMI board,
• Network communication circuits (optional Ethernet).
Memories:
• SRam: high speed static memory, used for data and cache,
• Flash memory: used for fw storage and upgrade,
• EEprom memory: used for calibration data storage,
• Dual port Ram for data transfer between CPU and DSP.
Input board
• Three CTs committed for phase currents acquisition,
• One CT committed for residual current acquisition.
The input circuits are suitable for 1 A or 5 A external CTs.[1]
• Three VTs committed for phase voltages acquisition,
• One VT committed for residual voltage acquisition.
MMI (keyboard, LED and display)
The MMI module (Man Machine Interface) includes:
• An eight keys 8 keyboard,
• a backlight LCD display,
• Eight signalling LEDs,
The removable plug allows separation of the MMI module for free access to the CPU board when
DIP-switch setting is required.
Note 1 The phase and residual nominal currents must be adjusted by means dip-switch.

SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
The program which handles operation of the Pro-N relays is made up of three fundamental elements
shown in the following block diagram.
Base software
Single modules are application independent with modular and scalable structure.
The system can be assimilated to the PC BIOS (Basic Input-Output System); three main function are
provided:
• Start-up test execution;
• RAM loading of the operating system;
• Provide a suitable interface to access the relay hardware.
Real-time operating system
An embedded operative system is employed suitable for real-time applications (RTOS).
A multithread preemptive structure is able to menage several task with multiple priority levels .
The kernel represents the nucleus of the system: it includes the processing functions closest to the
electronic circuits.
In addition, the kernel manages a service communication protocol known as Basic Protocol (BP).
Task

Example are:
• Keyboard management
• RTC (Real Time Clock) updating
• RAM/EEPROM updating
• Diagnostic
• Input acquisition

DSP Firmware
By means of Discrete Fourier Transform calculation, based on 24 samples/period, information is de-
duced in relation to the amplitude and phase of all the current measurements; these are constantly
updated and at the disposal of all the protection and control application algorithms.
Drivers
Inside the driver library, all the specialized module for protection and control function are provided.
They are the link from kernel and application layer. Examples are:
• Data base management
• PC messages management
• TCP/IP messages management
• Basic Protocol management
• Counter management
• Event and fault management
• Measuring management
• Oscillography management
Application Software
The software acts the specialization of the base system; all protective and control elements are
inside it.
The main modules ate:
• Diagnostic function for application layer,
• Input management (binary inputs),
• Protective functions,
• Event recording,
• Output management (LEDs and relays)
Each element (Kernel, Drivers and Application) may, in turn, be split into modules:
Base protocol (kernel)
The module known as the Basic Protocol (BP) manages the service communication between the
kernel and the other modules through the communication buses with the following services:
• Data and information exchange,
• Calibration,
• Upgrade fw DSP,
• Upgrade application sw
Communication (drivers)
The ModBus TCP/IP protocol, with ethernet interface, the ModBus RTU, IEC 60870-5-103 and DNP3
protocol over RS485 interface and the ModBus RTU USB for ThyVisor are provided.
MMI (drivers)
The drivers deal with the menu management (MMi and/or communication messages).
Data Base
The data base is split into three main sections:
• RAM for volatile data,
• REE and PAR for non volatile data.
Self test (Application)
The main hw and sw function are permanently verified in background; no additional delay are intro-
duced.
In particular the following function are tested:
• Reference voltages;
• Output relays;
• Sw flow with execution time monitoring;
• REE and PAR data congruence.
Development tools (Builder)
For the development of the project, a CASE instrument has been developed, responsible for the opti-
mized production of software code for the management of collaboration, the database and the MMI
data and the Xml files used for communication. The automatic code generation criteria ensures the
quality of the result in terms of the reusability, verifiability and maintainability of the software life
cycle.

Binary inputs
Two binary inputs are available.
The dry inputs must be powered with an external voltage, (usually the auxiliary power supply).
The connections are shown in the schematic diagrams.
The following settings can be used to configure each input:
• Logic Active-ON (activated when powered), or Active-OFF (activated when power is turned off).
• ON Timer (OFF-to-ON time delay) and OFF Timer (ON-to-OFF time delay).
• Binary input allocation.
Adjustable debounce timer allows any transient to decay avoiding false activation of the input; the
positive transition is acquired if the input is permanently high for a time interval longer than the tON
setting delay; similarly for the negative transitions, the negative transition is acquired if the input is
permanently high for a time interval longer than the tOFF setting delay.
In the above shown diagram, INTERNAL STATE represents the logical state of the binary input used
in the following processing.
Each binary input may be matched to one of the following default functions.

Reset LEDs
If the element tripped have gone back to rest condition, the latched LEDs and/or relays may be
reset.
Set profile
Inside Pro-N devices, two independent setting profiles (A and B) are available. Whereas different
settings are required, they are made in the setting profiles and stored in the non volatile memory of
relay. Applicable setting profile is activated usually via a binary input; when the programmed input is
activated, the profile B becomes operative as a replacement for the default profile A.[1]
Fault trigger
When the programmed input is activated, a trigger is issued for fault record SFR). Data storing takes
place with the same procedure resulting from a trip of any protective elements
Note 1 To enable the profile switching the “Input-selected” parameter must be set inside the “Profile selection” submenu.
If multiple setting groups are not required, Group A is the default selection

Block2 IPh/IE
A change in status of a binary input effects a block[1] common for the following phase and ground
protective elements:
• I>, I>> and I>>> (50/51),
• DthAL1, DthAL2 and Dth (49),
• IPD>, IPD>>, IPD>>> and IPD>>>> (67),
and ground fault:
• IE>, IE>> and IE>>> (50N/51N),
• IED>, IED>>, IED>>> and IE>>>> (67N),
The application of the IN1 and IN2 binary inputs for the acquisition of Block2 (selective block) com-
ing from external protection relays is shown in the following figure (one phase overcurrent and one
phase and residual overcurrent protection).
Block2 IPh
A change in status of a binary input effects a block[2] for the following phase protective elements:
• I>, I>> and I>>> (50/51), DthAL1, DthAL2 and Dth> (49), IPD>, IPD >>, IPD >>> and IPD >>>> (67)
Block2 IE
A change in status of a binary input effects a block[1] for the following earth protective elements:
• IE>, IE>> and IE>>> (50N/51N), IED>, IED>>, IED>>> and IED>>>> (67N).
Block1
A change in status of a binary input effects a block for a length of time equal to the activation of the
input[3]; the element pickup that wish be blocked must be enabled (the Block1 parameter must be
set to ON in the concerning menu).[4]
The application of the IN1 binary input for the acquisition of the Block1 (logic block) coming from
external signal is shown in the following figure; in the example the block signal is ORed with Block2
(selective block) to block the generic (xxx) element.
Note 1 The exhaustive treatment of the Block 2 function is described in the “Logic selectivity” paragraph.
Note 2 The exhaustive treatment of the Block 2 function is described in the “Logic selectivity” paragraph.
The application of the inputs for the acquisition of Block2 (selective block) for Phase (Block2 Iph) and earth protective functions (Block2 IE) is
similar to that illustrated in the scheme concerning the Block2 IphIIE
Note 3 Unlike the Block2 (selective block), that houses a safety logic founded on programmable timers, the Block1 (logic block) keeps block of the
protection for the whole time when the input is active.
Note 4 The activation of one binary input produces indiscriminately a block of all protective elements programmed for being blocked from Block1

The external acquisition of 74TV allows to block or to change the operating mode of protective el-
ements where the residual voltage is employed; the information is available for residual voltage
protective elements (59N and 67N protections) that may operate inadvertently when an event cause
a loss of one or more voltages.

Output relays
Six output relays are available (K1...K6):[1]
• K1 and K2 have two changeover contacts (SPDT, type C).
• K3, K4 and K5 have one make contact (SPST-NO, type A).[2]
• K6 has one break contact (SPST-NC, type B).[3]
Each output relay may be programmed with following operating mode:
• Operation MODE (No latched, Pulse, Latched).
• Logic (Energized/De-energized).
To each output relay a programmable timer is matched (Minimum pulse width parameter).
All parameters are available inside the Set\Relays menu.
Any change to the settings can be affected at any time, also with the relay on duty, separately for
each relay.
Notes:
• When de-energized operating mode is set, the relay remains in rest condition if no trip command
is in progress.
• When energized operating mode is set, the relay remains in operating condition if no trip command
is in progress and the auxiliary supply is powered on.
• When no-latched operating mode is set (Operation MODE No latched), the output relay reset
at the end of the trip condition. To each output relay a programmable timer is matched (minimum
pulse width operation).
• When latched operating mode is set (Operation MODE Latched), the output relay doesn’t reset
at the end of the trip condition; it stays ON until a reset command is issued (RESET key, ThyVisor or
communication command).
• When pulse operating mode is set (Operation MODE Pulse), the output relay reset after a tTR
programmable delay regardless of the trip condition.
• It is advisable to make sure that the output contact technical data are suitable for load (Nominal
current, breaking capacity, make current, switching voltage,...).
Matching every output relay to any protective element is freely programmable inside the Setpoints
submenus according a tripping matrix structure.[4][5]
Note 1 Schematic diagram are shown inside APPENDIX B1.
Note 2 K3 and K4 have a common terminal (A10)
Note 3 K5 and K6 have a common terminal (A13)
Note 4 Matching of the output relay to the protective and control functions can be defined so that any collision from other function is avoided.
All output relay are unassigned in the default setting.
Note 5 Self test relay: it is advisable to plan the following settings:
- Energized operating mode,
- No-latched ,
in order that it stays ON for normal conditions and the other way round it goes OFF if any fault is detected and/or the auxiliary supply turns OFF.

LED indicators
Eight LEDs are available.
• One green LED “ON”: if turned on it means that the device is properly working, if flashing the inter-
nal self-test function has detected an anomaly.
• One yellow LED “START” tagged for START of one or more protective elements.[1]
• One red LED “TRIP” tagged for TRIP of one or more protective elements.[1]
• Five red LEDs “1...5” for highlight the activation of one or more user defined function.
Each output relay may be programmed with following operating mode:
• No-latched: the LED reset at the end of the trip condition.
• Latched: the LED doesn’t reset at the end of the trip condition; it stays ON until a manual reset
command is issued (RESET key, ThyVisor or communication command).
Any change to the settings can be affected at any time, also with the relay on duty, separately for
each LED.
Free allocation of each LED may be set according to the matrix structure shown in the following
page.[2]
Note 1 The START and the TRIP LED are user assignable to any function; other than starting and tripping information can be assigned to them too, just
the same for L1...L5

Communication interfaces
Several communication ports are provided:
• USB port on the front side for local communication (ThyVisor).
• RS485 port on the rear side for bus communication.
• Ethernet port on the rear side for bus communication.
USB
To connect the local port you need to use a cable USB Type B - Type A; the Thytronic cable code
L10042 can be supplied.
The serial port is the simplest access for setting by means the ThyVisor software.
RS485
Several protocol are implemented[1]:
• ModBus RTU. Modbus is a serial communications protocol. It is a de facto standard communica-
tions protocol in industry, and is now the most commonly available means of connecting industrial
electronic devices also inside electric utilities and substation.
• IEC 60870-5. The IEC 60870-5 suite of protocol is used for communications from master station to
substation, as well within the substation; the IEC 60870-5-103 (Protection equipment) is available
together the Modbus protocol on some version of Pro-n devices (code NAxx#xxxxC x).
Ethernet
It is provided (optionally) a communication board useful for Ethernet communication with ModBus
TCP/IP protocol.[2]
Modbus/TCP basically embeds a Modbus frame into a TCP frame in a simple manner. This is a con-
nection-oriented transaction which means every query expects a response.
This query/response technique fits well with the master/slave nature of ModBus, adding to the de-
terministic advantage that Switched Ethernet offers industrial users.
In the same way as the RS485 base Modbus, every device is identified by a personal address and the
communication goes in “client-server” mode with answering request from the recipient.
The protective relay can be directly connect to the Ethernet network (no gateway, protocol converter
are needed).
Two port can be implemented:
• 100BASE-TX with RJ45 connector (copper).
• 100BASE-FX with FX connector (optical fiber)[2]
For both modules no hw preset are required.
Two LEDs are on board (RJ45):
• LINK - (green): The LED lights up if the connection is active.
• TX - (yellow): The LED lights up when data transmission is active.
Note 1 The RS485 port is not implemented on the Pro-N devices endowed with Ethernet FX port

Rated values
Inside the Base menu the following parameters can be set:
• Relay reference name.
• Relay nominal currents (phase and residual), to which the regulation are related.
• Primary nominal values, employed for measures relative to primary values.
• Measurements reading mode.
Information for settings:
• Relay reference name.
Alphanumeric mnemonic string (max 16 characters) useful for identification of protected plant.
• Relay nominal frequency fn
This nominal value must be set same as the frequency of the grid.
Example: grid frequency fn = 50 Hz
Relay nominal frequency fn = 50 Hz
• Relay phase nominal current In
This nominal value must be set by means dip-switch to 1 A or 5 A, same as the secondary CTs
nominal current.
Dip-switches are located on board of the CPU module; the exhaustive treatment of Dip setup is
described in the “6.5 SETTING NOMINAL CURRENTS In AND IEn” paragraph.
• Relay residual nominal current IEn
This nominal value must be set by means dip-switch to 1 A or 5 A, same as the secondary CT nomi-
nal current.
Dip-switch is located on board of the CPU module; the exhaustive treatment of Dip setup is de-
scribed in the “6.5 SETTING NOMINAL CURRENTS In AND IEn” paragraph.
• Phase CT primary current Inp
This parameter affects the measure of the phase currents when the primary measurement read-
ing mode is selected. It must be programmed to the same value of the phase CT primary nominal
current.
Example
The phase CT primary current Inp must be set as: Inp = 500 A
• Residual CT primary current IEnp
This parameter affects the measure of the residual current when the primary measurement reading
mode is selected. It must be programmed to the same value of the residual CT(s) primary nominal
current.
Example 1
The residual CT primary current IEnp must be set as: IEnp = 100 A

• Relay residual nominal voltage UEn
The residual nominal voltage UEn may be estimated by means of the following general formula (ef-
fective for insulated neutral or impedance-ground connected grids):
If open delta VT with primary nominal voltage balances to the grid voltage divided by √3, the follow-
ing streamlined calculus may be used:
UEn = 3 · VT open delta secondary nominal voltage [V] for insulated or impedance-ground neutral
grids.
Example A1
The relay residual nominal voltage UEn must be estimated by means of the following general for-
mula:
UEn = √3 · Ung /KVT = √3 · 6900 / (√3 · 100) = 69 V
Example A2
The relay residual nominal voltage UEn must be indifferently estimated by means of the following
general formula:
UEn = √3 · Ung /KVT = √3 · 6000 / (√3 · 60) = 100 V
or by means the following streamlined formula:
UEn = 3 · Uns = 3 · 100 / 3 = 100 V
The Unp setting must be adjusted to: Unp = Ung = 6.9 kV
• Measurement reading mode
Measures may be displayed according the following operating modes:
- With RELATIVE setting all measures are related to the nominal value,
- With PRIMARY setting all measures are related to the primary value.

Thermal protection with RTD thermometric probes - 26
Preface
The measure of temperature is acquired by means of Pt100 (RTD Resistive Temperature sensing
Devices) probed, connected to the MPT module.[1]
A direct thermal protection element with eight PT100 thermometric probes (RTD Resistive Thermal
Device) provides protection against premature ageing or breakdown of the insulating materials
through overheating.
Thermal protection using thermometric probes offers greater reliability than Thermal overload-based
indirect protection, since it is not influenced by inaccuracies in the time constant for the thermal
model of the machinery and by variations in the surrounding temperature.
For each thermometric probe an alarm (ThALx, where x=1...8 points one of the eight probes) and one
trip adjustable threshold is provided (Th>x), with adjustable operating time (tThALx and tTh>x>);if the
measured temperature overcomes the threshold, the relative alarm and/or trip is issued when the
timer expires.
The adjustments are operable in °C.
The probes should be placed in strategic points around the machinery susceptible to the greatest
overheating, such as for example:
- near the generator stator windings, near the step-up transformer windings and/or in the oil, with the
aim of detecting overheating produced by the overload currents,
- near the generator bearings, with the aim of detecting localised overheating due to worn or non-
lubricated bearings.
The Pt100 probes detect the temperature in the range -50 °C...+250 °C (at 0 °C its resistance is 100
ohm); an alarm indicates any interruption or short-circuiting of the probe or related connections to
the MPT module; the information is available inside the Read \ PT100 menu:
• Ptx probe ON to point a measure inside the range
• Ptx probe LOW to point a measure lower the range (short circuit of probe and/or wires)
• Ptx probe HIGH ao point a measure higher the range (breaking of probe and/or wires).
Self reset is performed when faults are cleared.
The measure of each probe is updated at 2 s time intervals.
Note 1 The 26 menu is available when the MPT module is enabled

Thermal image - 49
Preface
It is a overload protection with memory capability and three setpoints, used to protect lines and
transformers against thermal overload.
The phase currents are used into an algorithm reproducing a thermal replica according the IEC
60255-8 standard taking into account the Joule losses and the cooling effect due to the load reduc-
tion; in this way the previous history and the overload are taken into account.
The thermal protection can be adapted to the different features of motors by setting the thermal
heating t+ and cooling t- constants ( the t+ constant refers to motor running condition, while the
t- constant, always higher than t+, refers to stop condition).
The trip element has an adjustable threshold; with 1.2 DθB setting (ie 1.2 times the overtemperature
corresponding to the nominal operation condition) the corresponding tripping current IB is 1.1 since
the temperature rise is proportional to the square of the current.
The 49 element is provided with two further thresholds DθAL1 and DθAL2, lower than the previous one.
These thresholds, both adjustable, provide an alarm signal to draw attention in the event of anoma-
lous heating, without disconnect the protected device. One of the above thresholds can be used to
prevent refeeding of the system when heating approaches the trip conditions since the additional
heating brought on by the inrush currents would cause the protection to operate.
Operation and settings
The thermal current used for thermal image calculation is:
Ith = max (IL1, IL2, IL3)
If the second harmonic restraint is enabled, the thermal current used for thermal image calculation
becomes:
Ith = ILMAX/KINR = max (IL1, IL2, IL3) / KINR
where KINR is an adjustable parameter (1.0...3.0), useful to reduce the thermal current during the
transformer energization (inrush).
According to a single-body thermal model, the thermal image is based on the differential equation:
dDθ/dt+Dθ/T=(Ith/IB)2/T
where Dθ is the system thermal state as a percentage of base thermal capacity DθB corresponding
to the base current IB[1] and T is the thermal time constant (the same for heating and cooling).
When the thermal image Dθ overcomes the threshold a trip is issued.
The operating characteristic (IEC 60255-8) is:
t=T*ln{[(Ith/IB)2-Dθp/DθB)]/[(Ith/IB)2-1.2]}=T*ln{[(Ith/IB)2-(Ip/IB)2]/[(Ith/IB)2-1.2]=
T*ln{[(Ith/IB)2-p2]/[(Ith/IB)2-1.2]} [1]
where:
• t: operating time,
• ln: natural logarithm,
• Dθp and Ip are the thermal image and the corresponding equivalent thermal current before the
overload occurs.
• p=Ip/IB=√(Dθp/DθB: prior load.
Following data applies:
• Range where the equation is valid: 1.1IB ≤ Ith ≤ 10IB
• If 10IB ≤ Ith ≤ 20IB, the operating time is fixed to a value corresponding to the 10IB
• The upper limit is 20IB.
Note 1 Assuming that the secondary rated current of the line CT’s equals the rated current of the NA20 relay, as usually happens, the IB value is the
ratio between the rated current of the protected component (line, transformer,...) and the primary rated current of the CT’s.

General operation time characteristic for the thermal image elements - 49
NA30 - Manual - 04 - 2022
If the CLP function (Cold Load Pick-up) is enabled for blocking 49, the thermal image is blocked for an
adjustable time interval, starting from the circuit breaker closure.[1] The operating mode parameter
may be select by setting ON-Element blocking the DThCLP Mode parameter inside the Set\Pro-
file A(or B)\Thermal image-49\ Common configuration menu.
If the CLP function (Cold Load Pick-up) is enabled for threshold change, the equivalent ther-
mal current may be decreased by means a KINR factor for an adjustable time interval, starting
from the circuit breaker closure.[2] The operating mode parameter may be select by setting ON-
Change setting the DThCLP Mode parameter inside the Set\Profile A(or B)\Thermal image-49\
Common configuration menu.
For the Dth> threshold, a block from the second harmonic restraint may be set by set-
ting ON the DTh>2ndh-REST parameter inside the Set\Profile A(or B)\Thermal image-49\
Common configuration menu.
All elements can be enabled or disabled by setting ON or OFF the DThetaAL1 Enable, DTheta-
AL2 Enable and/or DTheta> Enable parameters inside the Set\Profile A(or B)\Thermal image-49\
DthAL1 Element (DthAL2 Element, Dth> Element) menus.
The trip element (Dth>) may be inhibited when a start of at least one of the overcurrent element
(50/51) is active, if the Dth>disby50-51 parameter is set ON inside the Set\Profile A(or B)\Thermal
image-49\ Dth> Element menu.
The DθIN parameter sets a minimum level of previous thermal image Dθp when the protection relay
is powered or when a remote (binary input) or local (keyboard or ThyVisor) command is issued.
The DthIN parameter may be adjusted inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Thermal image-49\
Common configuration menu.
To active the DθIN preset value remotely, a binary input must be programmed as Init DTheta func-
tion inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary input IN1, Binary input IN2 menu.
The trip element can produce the Breaker Failure output if the Dth> BF parameters is set to ON.
The parameter is available inside the Set\Profile A(or B)\Thermal image-49 \ Dth> Element menu.[3]
The IB setting is adjustable inside the Set\Profile A(or B)\Base current IB menu.
Note 1 The CLP function (Cold Load Pick-up) with blocking of the 49 element has priority compared with the second harmonic restraint function, so, if
the equivalent thermal current is enabled, the latter is not reduced when a second harmonic restraint is active.
Note 2 The CLP function (Cold Load Pick-up) with threshold change of the 49 element has priority compared with the second harmonic restraint func-
tion, so, if the equivalent thermal current is enabled, the latter is not reduced when a second harmonic restraint is active.
Note 3 The common settings concerning the Breaker failure protection are adjustable inside the Breaker Failure - BF menu.

General logic diagram of the thermal image elements - 49
NA30 - Manual - 04 - 2022
For every threshold the following block criteria are available:
Logical block (Block1)
If the DthAL1BLK1, DthAL2BLK1 and/or Dth>BLK1 enabling parameters are set to ON and a bi-
nary input is designed for logical block (Block1), the concerning element is blocked off whenever the
given input is active.[1] The enabling parameters are available inside the Set\Profile A(or B)\Thermal
image-49\ DthAL1 Element (DthAL2 Element, Dth> Element) menus, while the Block1 function must
be assigned to the selected binary input inside the Set\Inputs\Binary input IN1(2) menus.
Selective block (Block2)
All along the protective elements the selective block may be set.
The logic selectivity function may be performed by means any combination of the following I/O:
• One committed pilot wire input (BLIN1).
• One or more binary inputs designed for input selective block.
• One committed pilot wire output (BLOUT1).
• One or more output relays designed for output selective block.
Only when the committed pilot wire are used the continuity check of the pilot wire link is active.
Use of committed pilot wire input BLIN1:
• The protection is blocked off according the selectivity block criteria when the input BLIN1 is active.
The information about phase or phase+earth block may be select programming the ModeBLIN1
parameter inside the Set\Profile A(or B)\Selective block-BLOCK2 \ Selective block IN menus.
Use of binary inputs:
• If the DthAL1BLK2IN, DthAL2BLK2IN and/or Dth>BLK2IN parameter are are set to ON and
a binary input is designed for selective block (Block2), the protection is blocked off by phase ele-
ments (Block2 Iph) or by any protection element (Block2 Iph/IE) according the selectivity block
criteria.[2] The enable DthAL1BLK2IN, DthAL2BLK2IN and/or Dth>BLK2IN parameters
are available inside the Set\Profile A(or B)\Thermal image-49\ DthAL1 Element, DthAL2 Element,
Dth> Element menus, while the Block2 Iph and Block2 Iph/IE functions must be assigned to the
selected binary inputs inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary input IN1(2) menus (IN1 or IN2 matching).
Use of committed pilot wire output BLOUT1:
• The information about phase or phase+earth block may be select programming the ModeBLOUT1
parameter inside Set\Profile A(or B)\Selective block-BLOCK2\ Selective block OUT menus.
Use of output relay (K1...K6):
• If the DthAL1BLK2OUT, DthAL2BLK2OUT and/o Dth>BLK2OUT enable parameters are set
to ON and a output relay is designed for selective block (Block2), the protection issues a block
output by phase elements (BLK2OUT-Iph) or by any protection element (BLK2OUT-Iph/IE), when-
ever the given element (DthAL1, DthAL2 e/o Dth>) becomes active. The enable DthAL1BLK2OUT,
DthAL2BLK2OUT and/or Dth>BLK2OUT parameters are available inside the Set\Profile A(or
B)\Thermal image-49\ DthAL1 Element (DthAL2 Element, Dth> Element) menus, while the BLK-
2OUT-Iph-K, BLK2OUT-Iph/IE-K and/or BLK2OUT-IE-K output relays must be set inside the
Set\Profile A(or B)\Selective block-BLOCK2 \ Selective block OUT menus.
Internal selective block (Block4)
As well as to send or transmit a selective block toward other protective relays, each protective
element may be enabled for receive or transmit a selective block from/to other internal protective
elements.[3]
The internal selective block of one or more element concerning the thermal image function may
be enabled/disabled by means the DthAL1BLK4, DthAL2BLK4, and/or Dth>BLK4 parameters
(virtual input and output common to all protective thresholds); the following operating modes are
available:
• IN - the element is enabled to receive the selective block from an internal input.
• OUT - the element is enabled to send the selective block to an internal output.
• OFF - the element is disabled to send/receive the internal selective block.
Transmission and reception for the same element is not allowed, so any stall situation due to wrong
setting is avoided.
The internal selective block can work together with an external selective block from other protective
relays (Block2).
Note 1 The exhaustive treatment of the logical block (Block 1) function may be found in the “Logic Block” paragraph inside CONTROL AND MONITOR-
ING section
Note 2 The exhaustive treatment of the selective block (Block 2) function may be found in the “Selective Block” paragraph inside CONTROL AND
MONITORING section
Nota 3 The exhaustive treatment of the internal selective block (Block 4) function may be found in the “Internal selective block” paragraph inside
CONTROL AND MONITORING section.

Phase overcurrent - 50/51
Preface
Three operation thresholds, independently adjustable (I>, I>>, I>>>) with adjustable delay
(t>, t>>, t>>>).
The first one may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the IEC and ANSI/IEEE
standard, as well as with rectifier, I2t or EM curve.
The second threshold may be programmable with independent or dependent time according to the
I2t curve and the third threshold with independent time.
For each threshold a reset time can be set (t>RES, t>>RES, t>>>RES) useful to reduce the clearing time
for intermittent faults.
The first threshold trip may be inhibited by start of the second and/or third threshold (I>>, I>>>).
Similarly the second threshold trip may be inhibited by start of the third threshold (I>>>).
Operation and settings
Each phase fundamental frequency current is compared with the setting value. Currents above the
associated pickup value are detected and a start is issued. After expiry of the associated operate
time a trip command is issued; if instead the current drops below the threshold, the element is re-
stored.
The first threshold (I>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curves:
• Standard Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT): t = 0.14 · t>inv / [(I/I>inv)0.02 - 1]
• Very Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT):
t = 13.5 · t>inv / [(I/I>inv) - 1]
• Extremely Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT): t = 80 · t>inv / [(I/I>inv)2 - 1]
• Moderately Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type MI):
t = t>inv · {0.01 / [(I/I>inv)0.02 - 1] + 0.023}
• Very Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type VI):
t = t>inv · {3.922 / [(I/I>inv)2 - 1] + 0.098}
• Extremely Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type EI):
t = t>inv · {5.64 / [(I/I>inv)2 - 1] + 0.024}
• Rectifier (RI):
t = 2351 · t>inv / [(I/I>inv)5.6 - 1]
• I-squared-t (I 2t = K):
t = 16 · t>inv / (I/I>inv)2
• Electromechanical (EM):
t = t>inv · {0.28 / [-0236 · (I/I>inv)-1 + 0.339]}

The second threshold (I>>) may be programmable with definite or inverse time according to the I2t
curve:
t = 16 · t>inv / (I/I>inv)2
The third threshold (I>>>) with definite time.
For all inverse time characteristics, following data applies:
• Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 1.1 I>inv
• Minimum operate time:
0.1 s
• Range where the equation is valid:[1] 1.1 ≤ I/I>inv ≤ 20
• If I>inv pickup ≥ 2.5 In, the upper limit is 50 In
For all definite time elements the upper limit for measuring is 50 In.
All overcurrent elements can be enabled or disabled by setting ON or OFF the I> Enable, I>>
Enable and/or I>>> Enable parameters inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Phase overcurrent-50/51
\ I> Element (I>> Element, I>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus.
The first overcurrent element can be programmed with definite or inverse time characteristic by
setting the I>Curve parameter (DEFINITE, IEC/BS A, IEC/BS B, IEC/BS C, ANSI/IEE MI,
ANSI/IEE VI, ANSI/IEE EI, RECTIFIER, I2t, EM) available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \

\Profile A(or B) \ Phase overcurrent-50/51 \ I>> Element \ Setpoints menu.
The trip of I> element may be inhibited by the start of the second and/or third element (I>>, I>>>) by set-
ting ON the Disable I> by start I>>, Disable I>> by start I>>> (I>disbyI>>, I>disbyI>>>) parameters
available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Phase overcurrent-50/51 \ I>> Element (I>>> Element) \ Setpoints
menus.
Similarly the trip of the I>> element may be inhibited by start of the third element (I>>>) by setting
ON the Disable I>> by start I>>> (I>>disbyI>>>) parameter available inside the Set \ Profile A(or
B) \ Phase overcurrent-50/51 \ I>>> Element \ Setpoints menu.
All the named parameters can be set separately for Profile A and Profile B (Set \ Profile A(or B)\
Phase overcurrent-50/51 \ I> Element (I>> Element, I>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus).
An adjustable reset time delay is provided for every threshold (t>RES, t>>RES, t>>>RES).
Each overcurrent element can produce the Breaker Failure output if the I> BF, I>> BF and/or
I>>> BF parameters are set to ON. The parameters are available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B)
\Phase overcurrent-50/51 \ I> Element (I>> Element, I>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus.[1]
For all overcurrent elements, a block from the second harmonic restraint may be set by setting ON

NA30 - Manual - 04 - 2022
For every of the three thresholds the following block criteria are available:
Logical block (Block1)
If the I>BLK1, I>>BLK1 and/or I>>>BLK1 enabling parameters are set to ON and a binary in-
put is designed for logical block (Block1), the concerning element is blocked off whenever the given
input is active.[1] The enabling parameters are available inside the Set\Profile A(or B)\Phase over-
current-50/51\ I> Element (I>> Element, I>>> Element) \Setpoints menus, while the Block1 function
must be assigned to the selected binary input inside the Set\Inputs\Binary input IN1(2) menus.
Selective block (Block2)
All along the protective elements the selective block may be set.
The logic selectivity function may be performed by means any combination of the following I/O:
• One committed pilot wire input (BLIN1).
• One or more binary inputs designed for input selective block.
• One committed pilot wire output (BLOUT1).
• One or more output relays designed for output selective block.
Only when the committed pilot wire are used the continuity check of the pilot wire link is active.
Use of committed pilot wire input BLIN1:
• The protection is blocked off according the selectivity block criteria when the input BLIN1 is active.
The information about phase or phase+earth block may be select programming the ModeBLIN1
parameter inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Selective block-BLOCK2 \ Selective block IN menus.
Use of binary inputs:
• If the I>BLK2IN, I>>BLK2IN and/or I>>>BLK2IN parameters are set to ON and a binary
input is designed for selective block (Block2), the protection is blocked off by phase elements
(Block2 Iph) or by any protection element (Block2 Iph/IE) according the selectivity block criteria.[2]
The enable I>BLK2IN, I>>BLK2IN and/or I>>>BLK2IN parameters are available inside the
Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Phase overcurrent-50/51 \ I> Element (I>> Element, I>>> Element) \ Setpoints
menus, while the Block2 Iph and Block2 Iph/IE functions must be assigned to the selected
binary inputs inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary input IN1(x) menus (IN1 or IN2 matching).
Use of committed pilot wire output BLOUT1:
• The information about phase or phase+earth block may be select programming the ModeBLOUT1
parameter (OFF - ON IPh - ON IPh/IE - ON IE) inside Set \Profile A(or B) \ Selective block-
BLOCK2 \ Selective block OUT menus.
Use of output relay (K1...K6):
• If the I>BLK2OUT, I>>BLK2OUT and/or I>>>BLK2OUT enable parameters are set to ON
and a output relay is designed for selective block (Block2), the protection issues a block output
by phase elements (BLK2OUT-Iph) or by any protection element (BLK2OUT-Iph/IE), whenever
the given element (Start I>, Start I>> e/o Start I>>>) becomes active. The enable I>BLK2OUT,
I>>BLK2OUT and/or I>>>BLK2OUT parameters (ON or OFF) are available inside the Set
\ Profile A(or B) \ Phase overcurrent-50/51 \ I> Element (I>> Element, I>>> Element) \ Setpoints
menus, while the BLK2OUT-Iph-K, BLK2OUT-Iph/IE-K and/or BLK2OUT-IE-K output relays
and LEDs (BLK2OUT-Iph-L, BLK2OUT-Iph/IE-L e/o BLK2OUT-IE-L) must be select inside the
Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Selective block-BLOCK2 \ Selective block OUT menu.
Internal selective block (Block4)
As well as to send or transmit a selective block toward other protective relays, each protective
element may be enabled for receive or transmit a selective block from/to other internal protective
elements.[3]
The internal selective block of one or more element concerning the phase overcurrent function may
be enabled/disabled by means the I>BLK4, I>>BLK4, and/or I>>>BLK4 parameters (virtual
input and output common to all protective thresholds); the following operating modes are available:
• IN - the element is enabled to receive the selective block from an internal input.
• OUT - the element is enabled to send the selective block to an internal output.
• OFF - the element is disabled to send/receive the internal selective block.
Transmission and reception for the same element is not allowed, so any stall situation due to wrong
setting is avoided.
The internal selective block can work together with an external selective block from other protective
relays (Block2).
Note 1 The exhaustive treatment of the logical block (Block 1) function may be found in the “Logic Block” paragraph inside CONTROL AND MONITOR-
ING section
Note 2 The exhaustive treatment of the selective block (Block 2) function may be found in the “Selective Block” paragraph inside CONTROL AND
MONITORING section
Nota 3 The exhaustive treatment of the internal selective block (Block 4) function may be found in the “Internal selective block” paragraph inside
CONTROL AND MONITORING section.

Residual overcurrent - 50N/51N
Preface
Three operation thresholds, independently adjustable (IE>, IE>>, IE>>>) with adjustable delay (tE>,
tE>>, tE>>>).
The first one (IE>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the IEC and ANSI/IEEE
standard, as well as with EM curve.
The second and third thresholds (IE>>, IE>>>) with independent time.
For each threshold a reset time can be set (tE>RES, tE>>RES, tE>>>RES) useful to reduce the clearing
time for intermittent faults.
The first threshold trip may be inhibited by start of the second and/or third threshold (IE>>, IE>>>).
Similarly the second threshold trip may be inhibited by start of the third threshold (IE>>>).
Operation and settings
The residual fundamental frequency current is compared with the setting value. Current above the
associated pickup value is detected and a start is issued. After expiry of the associated operate time
a trip command is issued; if instead the current drops below the threshold, the element is restored.
The first threshold (IE>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curves:
• Standard Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT): t = 0.14 · tE>inv / [(IE/IE>inv)0.02 - 1]
• Very Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT):
t = 13.5 · tE>inv / [(IE/IE>inv) - 1]
• Extremely Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT): t = 80 · tE>inv / [(IE/IE>inv)2 - 1]
• Moderately Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type MI):
t = tE>inv · {0.01 / [(IE/IE>inv)0.02 - 1] +
0.023}
• Very Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type VI):
t = tE>inv · {3.922 / [(IE/IE>inv)2 - 1] + 0.098}
• Extremely Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type EI):
t = tE>inv · {5.64 / [(IE/IE>inv)2 - 1] + 0.024}
• Electromechanical (EM):
t = tE>inv · {0.28 / [-0236 · (IE/IE>inv)-1 + 0.339]}
Where:
t:
operate time
IE >:
pickup value
tE >inv:
operate time setting
For all inverse time characteristics, following data applies:
• Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 1.1 IE>
• Minimum operate time:
0.1 s
• Range where the equation is valid:[1] 1.1 ≤ IE/IE>inv ≤ 20
• If IE>inv pickup ≥ 2.5 IEn, the upper limit is 10 IEn
For all definite time elements the upper limit for measuring is 10 IEn.
All residual overcurrent elements can be enabled or disabled by setting ON or OFF the IE> En-
able, IE>> Enable and/or IE>>> Enable parameters inside the Set \ Profile A(or B)\ Residual
overcurrent-50N/51N \ IE> Element (IE>> Element, IE>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus.
The first overcurrent element can be programmed with definite or inverse time characteristic by
setting the IE>Curve parameter (DEFINITE, IEC/BS A, IEC/BS B, IEC/BS C, ANSI/IEE MI,
ANSI/IEE VI, ANSI/IEE EI, EM) available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Residual overcurrent-
50N/51N \ IE> Element \ Setpoints menu.
Note 1 When the input value is more than 20 times the set point , the operate time is limited to the value corresponding to 20 times the set point

parameters
available
inside
the
Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Residual overcurrent-50N/51N \ IE>> Element (IE>>> Element) \ Setpoints
menus.
Similarly the trip of the IE>> element may be inhibited by start of the third element (IE>>>) by setting
ON the Disable IE>> by start IE>>> (IE>>disbyIE>>>) parameter available inside the Set \ Profile
A(or B) \ Residual overcurrent-50N/51N \ IE>>> Element \Setpoints menu.
All the named parameters can be set separately for Profile A and Profile B (Set \ Profile A(or B) \
Residual overcurrent-50N/51N \ IE> Element (IE>> Element, IE>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus).
An adjustable reset time delay is provided for every threshold tE>RES, tE>>RES, tE>>>RES).
Each residual overcurrent element can produce the Breaker Failure output if the IE> BF, IE>> BF
and/or IE>>> BF parameters are set to ON. The parameters are available inside the Se \ Profile
A(or B) \ Residual overcurrent-50N/51N \ IE> Element (IE>> Element, IE>>> Element) \ Setpoints
menus.[1]
For all overcurrent elements, a block from the second harmonic restraint may be set by setting ON
the IE>2ndh-REST, IE>>2ndh-REST, IE>>>2ndh-REST parameters inside the Set \ Profile
A(or B) \ Residual overcurrent-50N/51N \ IE> Element (IE>> Element, IE>>> Element) \ Setpoints
menus.
If the CLP function (Cold Load Pick-up) is enabled for element blocking, the selected threshold may
be blocked for an adjustable time interval, starting from the circuit breaker closure.
This operating mode may be select by setting ON-Element blocking the IECLP> Mode, IECLP>>
Mode, IECLP>>> Mode parameters.
If the CLP function (Cold Load Pick-up) is enabled for threshold change, the selected threshold may
be changed for an adjustable time interval, starting from the circuit breaker closure.
This operating mode (ON-Change setting = IECLP> Mode, IECLP>> Mode, IECLP>>>
Mode) and the concerning operating time within the CLP (tECLP>, tECLP>>, tECLP>>>) may be
adjusted inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Residual overcurrent-50N/51N \ IE> Element (IE>> Element,
IE>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus, whereas the operating thresholds within the CLP ( IECLP>def,
IECLP>inv,....) may be adjusted inside the Set \ Profile A(or B)\ Residual overcurrent-50N/51N \
IE> Element (IE>> Element, IE>>> Element) \ Definite time (Inverse time) menus.
For every of the four thresholds the following block criteria are available:
Logical block (Block1)
If the IE>BLK1, IE>>BLK1 and/or IE>>>BLK1 enabling parameters are set to ON and a bi-
nary input is designed for logical block (Block1), the concerning element is blocked off whenever
the given input is active.[2] The enabling parameters are available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B)\
Residual overcurrent-50N/51N \ IE> Element (IE>> Element, IE>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus, while
the Block1 function must be assigned to the selected binary input inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary
input IN1(x) menus.
Selective block (Block2)
All along the protective elements the selective block may be set.
The logic selectivity function may be performed by means any combination of the following I/O:
• One committed pilot wire input (BLIN1).
• One or more binary inputs designed for input selective block.
• One committed pilot wire output (BLOUT1).
• One or more output relays designed for output selective block.
Note 1 The common settings concerning the Breaker failure protection are adjustable inside the Breaker Failure - BF menu.
Note 2 The exhaustive treatment of the logical block (Block 1) function may be found in the “Logic Block” paragraph inside CONTROL AND MONITOR-

Only when the committed pilot wire are used the continuity check of the pilot wire link is active.
Use of committed pilot wire input BLIN1:
• The protection is blocked off according the selectivity block criteria when the input BLIN1 is active.
The information about phase or phase+earth block may be select programming the ModeBLIN1
parameter inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Selective block-BLOCK2 \ Selective block IN menus.
Use of binary inputs:
• If the IE>BLK2IN, IE>>BLK2IN and/or IE>>>BLK2IN parameters are set to ON and a
binary input is designed for selective block (Block2), the protection is blocked off by phase ele-
ments (Block2 Iph) or by any protection element (Block2 Iph/IE) according the selectivity block
criteria.[1] The enable IE>BLK2IN, IE>>BLK2IN and/or IE>>>BLK2IN parameters are avail-
able inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Residual overcurrent-50N/51N \ IE> Element (IE>> Element,
IE>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus, while the Block2 Iph and Block2 Iph/IE functions must be
assigned to the selected binary inputs inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary input IN1(x) menus (IN1 or
IN2 matching).
Use of committed pilot wire output BLOUT1:
• The information about phase or phase+earth block may be select programming the ModeBLOUT1
parameter (OFF - ON IPh - ON IPh/IE - ON IE) inside Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Selective block-
BLOCK2 \ Selective block OUT menus.
Use of output relay (K1...K6):
• If the IE>BLK2OUT, IE>>BLK2OUT and/or IE>>>BLK2OUT enable parameters are set to
ON and a output relay is designed for selective block (Block2), the protection issues a block output
by phase elements (BLK2OUT-Iph) or by any protection element (BLK2OUT-Iph/IE), whenever the
given element (Start IED>, Start IED>>, Start IED>>> and/or Start IED>>>>) becomes active. The
enable IED>BLK2OUT, IED>>BLK2OUT, IED>>>BLK2OUT and/or IED>>>>BLK2OUT
parameters (ON or OFF) are available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Residual overcurrent-
50N/51N \ IE> Element (IE>> Element, IE>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus, while the BLK2OUT-
Iph-K, BLK2OUT-Iph/IE-K and/or BLK2OUT-IE-K output relays and LEDs (BLK2OUT-Iph-L,
BLK2OUT-Iph/IE-L e/o BLK2OUT-IE-L) must be select inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Selec-
tive block-BLOCK2 \ Selective block OUT menu.
Internal selective block (Block4)
As well as to send or transmit a selective block toward other protective relays, each protective
element may be enabled for receive or transmit a selective block from/to other internal protective
elements.[2]
The internal selective block of one or more element concerning the residual overcurrent function
may be enabled/disabled by means the IE>BLK4, IE>>BLK4 and/or IE>>>BLK4 parameters
(virtual input and output common to all protective thresholds); the following operating modes are
available:
• IN - the element is enabled to receive the selective block from an internal input.
• OUT - the element is enabled to send the selective block to an internal output.
• OFF - the element is disabled to send/receive the internal selective block.
Transmission and reception for the same element is not allowed, so any stall situation due to wrong
setting is avoided.
The internal selective block can work together with an external selective block from other protective
relays (Block2).
Note 1 The exhaustive treatment of the selective block (Block 2) function may be found in the “Selective Block” paragraph inside CONTROL AND
MONITORING section
Nota 2 The exhaustive treatment of the internal selective block (Block 4) function may be found in the “Internal selective block” paragraph inside
CONTROL AND MONITORING section.

Residual overvoltage - 59N
Preface
Two operation thresholds, independently adjustable (UE>, UE>>) with adjustable delay (tUE>, tUE>>).
The first one (UE>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time, while the second threshold
operates with definite time characteristic.
Each threshold may be separately enabled or disabled.
The first threshold trip (UE>) may be inhibited by start of the second threshold (UE>>).
Operation and settings
The residual voltage (UE) is compared with the setting values (UE>, UE>>); a start is issued when the
residual voltage overcomes the adjustable threshold (START); after expiry of the associated operate
time (tUE>, tUE>>) a trip command is issued; if instead the voltage drops below the threshold, the
element is restored.
The first threshold (UE>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curve:
t=0.5 tUE> / [(UE/UE>inv) - 1] or
Where:
UE:
measured residual voltage
t:
operate time
UE>inv:
threshold setting
tUE>inv:
operate time setting
For the inverse time characteristic, following data applies:
• The operate time setting is referred to an input voltage equal to 1.5 of the pickup value.
• Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 1.1 UE>inv
• Minimum operate time:
0.1 s
• Range where the equation is valid: 1.1 ≤ UE/UE>inv ≤ 4
• If UE>inv pickup ≥ 0.5 UEn, the upper limit is 2 UEn.
The first residual overvoltage element can be programmed with definite or inverse time character-
istic by setting the UE> Curve parameter (DEFINITE, INVERSE) available inside the Set \ Profile
A(or B) \ Residual overvoltage-59N \ UE> Element \ Setpoints menu.
Each element can be enabled or disabled by setting ON or OFF the UE> Enable parameter inside
the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Residual overvoltage-59N \ UE> Element \ Setpoints menu and/or the State
parameter inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Residual overvoltage-59N \ UE>> Element \ Definite time.
For both elements, a block of the UE> and UE>> threshold may be select when the 74VT function is
active (external). The blocking enabling parameters 74VText59N is available inside the Set \ Pro-
file A(or B) \ Residual overvoltage-59N \ Common configuration menu.[1]
The first threshold trip (UE>) may be inhibited by start of the second threshold (UE>>) by setting ON
the UE> Disabling by UE>> start (UE>disbyUE>>) parameter available inside the Set \ Profile A(or
B) \ Residual overvoltage-59N \ UE>> Element \ Setpoints menu.
Note 1 The operating time must be adjusted to a greater value than the 74VT activation time (internal or binary input)

General operation time characteristic for the residual overvoltage elements - 59N
NA30 - Manual - 04 - 2022
An adjustable reset time delay is provided for every threshold tUE>RES, tUE>>RES, tUE>>>RES).
Both residual overvoltage elements (UE>, UE>>) can produce the Breaker Failure output if the
UE>BF and UE>>BF parameters are set to ON.
The parameters are available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Residual overvoltage - 59N \
UE> Element (UE>> Element) \ Setpoints menus.[1]
For every of the two thresholds the following block criteria are available:
Logical block (Block1)
If the UE>BLK1 and/or UE>>BLK1 enabling parameters are set to ON and a binary input is de-
signed for logical block (Block1), the protection is blocked off whenever the given input is active.
The trip timer is held in reset condition, so the operate time counting starts when the input block
goes down.[2] The enabling parameters are available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Residual over-
voltage - 59N \ UE> Element (UE>> Element) \ Setpoints menus, while the Block1 function must be
assigned to the selected binary input inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary input IN1(x) menus (IN1 or INx
matching).
Note 1 The common settings concerning the Breaker failure protection are adjustable inside the Breaker Failure - BF menu.
Note 2 The exhaustive treatment of the logical block (Block 1) function may be found in the “Logic Block” paragraph inside CONTROL AND MONITOR-
ING section.

Preface
Four operation thresholds, independently adjustable (IED>, IED>>, IED>>> ,IED>>>>) with adjustable delay
(tED>, tED>>, tED>>>, tED>>>>).
Each element can be enabled or disabled.
The first two may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the IEC and ANSI/IEEE
standard, as well as with rectifier, EM curve.
The third and fourth thresholds with independent time.
Moreover several predefined blocking criteria are implemented (threshold trip may be inhibited by
start of the other thresholds, logic selectivity with internal and/or external elements, etc.).
Operation and settings
The first and second threshold (IED>, IED>>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time ac-
cording the following characteristic curves:
• Standard Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT): t = 0.14 · tED>inv / [(IED/IED>inv)0.02 - 1]
• Very Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT):
t = 13.5 · tED>inv / [(IPD/IED>inv) - 1]
• Extremely Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT): t = 80 · tPD>inv / [(IED/IED>inv)2 - 1]
• Moderately Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type MI):
t = tED>inv · {0.01 / [(IED/IED>inv)0.02 - 1] + 0.023}
• Very Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type VI):
t = tED>inv · {3.922 / [(IED/IED>inv)2 - 1] + 0.098}
• Extremely Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type EI):
t = tED>inv · {5.64 / [(IED/IED>inv)2 - 1] + 0.024}
• Electromechanical (EM):
t = tED>inv · {0.28 / [-0236 · (IED/IED>inv)-1 + 0.339]}
Where:
t:
operate time
IED>inv:
first and second threshold setting (IED>inv, IED>>inv)
tED>inv:
first and second threshold operate time setting (tPD>inv, tPD>>inv)
Third and fourth threshold (IED>>>def, IED>>>>def) with definite time.
For all inverse time characteristics, following data applies:
• Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 1.1 IED> or IED>>
• Minimum operate time:
0.1 s
• Range where the equation is valid:[1] 1.1 ≤ IED/IED>inv (or IED>>inv) ≤ 20
• If IED>inv (or IED>>inv) pickup ≥ 0.5 IEn, the upper limit is 10 IEn
For all definite time elements the upper limit for measuring is 50 In.
Two different criteria may be selected:
• Residual current threshold overcoming (module)
• Projection residual current threshold overcoming (projection)
The operating mode may be selected by setting the Mode67N parameter, located inside the Set \
Profile A(or B) \ Directional earth fault overcurrent-67N \ Common configuration menu.
The settable operating mode is I (module) or I*cos (projection).
Note 1 When the input value is more than 20 times the set point , the operate time is limited to the value corresponding to 20 times the set point

General operation time characteristic for the ground directional overcurrent elements - 67N

For both the operating modes, the measured UE voltage is employed as polarizing reference for
displacement measure of the residual current.
The displacement of the residual current phasor IE and the residual voltage phasor (UE), positive for
lagging current compared with voltage (ΦE=(∠IE - ∠UE).
For each of the four thresholds (IED>, IED>>, IED>>>, IED>>>>) , the characteristic angle (ϑE>, ϑE>>,
ϑE>>>, ϑE>>>>) may be adjusted (setting range 0…359° common for the three phases).
The the characteristic angle setting (positive when clockwise compared the polarizing voltage)
specifies the angular displacement of the characteristic axis standing for the trip bisector of the
tripping zone.
For isolated neutral systems with a 90° characteristic angle setting, faults towards the LINE are
detected, while with a 270° characteristic angle setting, faults towards the BUS are detected.
All the named parameters can be set separately for the four thresholds and for definite or inverse
time settings menu
For each of the four thresholds (IED>, IED>>, IED>>>, IED>>>>), the half operating sector may be ad-
justed (setting range 0…180° simmetrically regarding the characteristic axis).
All the named parameters can be set separately for the four thresholds and for definite or inverse
time settings menu.
For all the four thresholds (IED>, IED>>, IED>>>, IED>>>>), the operating mode when the 74VT function is
active may be defined:
• OFF: no action are issued by 74VT.
• Block: all the four thresholds are blocked when the 74VT function is active.
• Not directional: all the four thresholds are switched from directional to not directional criteria
when the 74VT function is active.
The 74VT information may be issued from an external signal acquired by means a binary input.
If a binary input is designed for 74VText, for all the four thresholds, the operating mode when the 74VT
function is active may be defined:

• OFF: no action are issued by 74VT.
• Block: all the four thresholds are blocked when the 74VT external signal is active.
• Not directional: all the four thresholds are switched from directional to not directional criteria
when the 74VT external signal is active.
Malfunctioning of the directional overcurrent elements can be avoided when VTs secondary fault
will arise (fuse or MCB tripping) by switching the overcurrent directional to non directional overcur-
rent protection
The 74VText67N parameter may be set as OFF, Block, Not directional inside the Set \ Profile
A(or B) \ Directional earth fault overcurrent-67N \ Common configuration menu, while the 74VText
function must be assigned to the selected binary inputs inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary input IN1(...x)
menus (IN1 or ...INx matching).
For all the four thresholds (common for all thresholds) an insensibility zone may be enabled in the
voltage-current plane.
If enabled, the insensibility zone is user adjustable by means the M multiplier (common for all thresh-
olds); the rectangle defined by the current and voltage thresholds and the same multiplied by M
becomes a No trip zone.
Such insensibility zone may be useful to avoid unwanted trip in the presence of some fixed residual
current and/or voltage (e.g. CT and or VT errors in the residual measurements).
The Insens-Zone (OFF, ON) and M parameters may be adjusted inside the Set \ Profile A(or B)\Di-
rectional earth fault overcurrent-67N \ Common configuration menu.
Module
If the module principle and the operation mode is not switched to “not directional” (by the 74VT
function), the start of any 67N threshold becomes active when the following A) and B) conditions
are contemporaneously active:
A) in the “Insens-Zone=OFF” operating mode:
- The residual current (IE) fundamental component overcomes the threshold (IED>, IED>>, IED>>>, IED>>>>)
AND
- The residual voltage (UE or UEC) fundamental component overcomes the threshold (UED>, UED>>,
UED>>>, UED>>>>),
while in the “Insens-Zone=ON” operating mode:
- The residual current (IE) fundamental component overcomes the threshold (IED>, IED>>, IED>>>, IED>>>>)
AND

angle (βE>, βE>>, βE>>>, βE>>>>) and half operating sector (ΘE>, ΘE>>, ΘE>>>, ΘE>>>>), that is the
-βE ≤ (ΘE-ΦE) ≤ +βE condition is fulfilled.[2]
If the operation mode is switched to “not directional” (by the 74VT function), the start of any 67N
threshold becomes active when the following is complied:
- The residual current (IE) fundamental component overcomes the threshold (IED>, IED>>, IED>>>,
IED>>>>)
For both the operating mode (module or projection), when the start signal goes ON a concerning
counter starts; after expiry of the associated operate time (tED>, tED>>, tED>>>, tED>>>>) a trip command
is issued, if instead the above conditions don’t remain valid, the element it is restored.
All the parameters are located inside the menus concerning the four elements, separately for defi-
nite and inverse time characteristics.
Example: the operate time concerning the first threshold with definite time characteristic (IED>def)
is available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Directional earth fault overcurrent-67N \ IED> Element
\ Definite time menu.
Note 1 For each threshold the projection of the residual current phasor on the characteristic axis is: IEcos(ΘE>-ΦE), IEcos(ΘE>>-ΦE), IEcos(ΘE>>>-ΦE),
IEcos(ΘE>>>>-ΦE) when “direct” residual voltage is selected (UE), or
IEcos(ΘE>-ΦEC), IEcos(ΘE>>-ΦEC), IEcos(ΘE>>>-ΦEC), IEcos(ΘE>>>>-ΦEC) when “calculated” residual voltage is selected (UEC).
The ΘE , βE and ΦEC symbols are not used inside the ThyVisor and MMI menus.
Note 2 For each threshold the projection of the residual current phasor on the characteristic axis is: IEcos(ΘE>-ΦE), IEcos(ΘE>>-ΦE), IEcos(ΘE>>>-ΦE),
IEcos(ΘE>>>>-ΦE) when “direct” residual voltage is selected (UE), or
IEcos(ΘE>-ΦEC), IEcos(ΘE>>-ΦEC), IEcos(ΘE>>>-ΦEC), IEcos(ΘE>>>>-ΦEC) when “calculated” residual voltage is selected (UEC).
The ΘE , βE and ΦEC symbols are not used inside the ThyVisor and MMI menus.

All directional earth fault overcurrent elements can be enabled or disabled by setting ON or OFF the
IED> Enable, IED>> Enable, , IED>>> Enable e/o IED>>>> Enable parameters inside
the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Directional earth fault overcurrent-67N \ IED> Element (IED>> Element,
IED>>> Element, IED>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus.
The first and second overcurrent element can be programmed with definite or inverse time charac-
teristic by setting theIED>Curve and/or IED>>Curve (DEFINITE, IEC/BS A, IEC/BS B, IEC/
BS C, ANSI/IEE MI, ANSI/IEE VI, ANSI/IEE EI, EM) available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \
Directional earth fault overcurrent-67N \ IED> Element (IED>> Element) \ Setpoints menus.
The trip of IED> element may be inhibited by the start of the second, third and/or fourth element (IED>>,
IED>>>, IED>>>>) by setting ON the Disable IED> by start IED>>, Disable IED> by start IED>>>, Dis-
able IED> by start IED>>>> (IED>disbyIED>>, IED>disbyIED>>>, IED>disbyIED>>>>)
parameters available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Directional earth fault overcurrent-67N
\ IED>> Element (IED>>> Element, IED>>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus.
Similarly the trip of the:
• IED>> element may be inhibited by start of the third and/or fourth element (IED>>> and/or IED>>>>)
by setting ON the Disable IED>> by start IED>>>, start IED>>>> (IED>>disbyIED>>>,
IED>>disbyIED>>>>) parameter available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Directional earth
fault overcurrent-67N \ IED>>> Element (IED>>>> Element) \S etpoints menus.
• IED>>> element may be inhibited by start of the fourth element (IED>>>>) by setting ON the Dis-
able IED>>> by start IED>>>> (IED>>>disbyIED>>>>) parameter available inside the Set \

All the named parameters can be set separately for Profile A and Profile B.
An adjustable reset time delay is provided for every threshold (tED>RES, tED>>RES, tED>>>RES, tED>>>RES).
Each directional earth fault element can produce the Breaker Failure output if the IED> BF, IED>>
BF, IED>>> BF and/or IED>>>> BF parameters are set to ON. The parameters are available
inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Directional earth fault overcurrent-67N \ IED> Element (IED>> Ele-
ment, IED>>> Element, IED>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus.[1]
If the CLP function (Cold Load Pick-up) is enabled for element blocking, the selected threshold may
be blocked for an adjustable time interval, starting from the circuit breaker closure.
This operating mode may be select by setting ON-Element blocking the IEDCLP> Mode, IED-
CLP>> Mode, IEDCLP>>> Mode, IEDCLP>>>> Mode parameters.
If the CLP function (Cold Load Pick-up) is enabled for threshold change, the selected threshold may
be changed for an adjustable time interval, starting from the circuit breaker closure.
This operating mode (ON-Change setting = IEDCLP> Mode, IEDCLP>> Mode, IED-
CLP>>> Mode, IEDCLP>>>> Mode) and the concerning operating time within the CLP (tED-
CLP>, tEDCLP>>, tEDCLP>>>, tEDCLP>>>>) may be adjusted inside the Set \ Profile
A(or B) \ Directional earth fault overcurrent-67N \ IED> Element (IED>> Element, IED>>> Element,
IED>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus, whereas the operating thresholds within the CLP ( IEDCLP>def,
IEDCLP>inv,....) may be adjusted inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Directional earth fault overcur-
rent-67N \ IED> Element (IED>> Element, IED>>> Element, IED>>> Element) \ Definite time (Inverse
time) menus.
For every of the four thresholds the following block criteria are available:
Logical block (Block1)
If the IED>BLK1, IED>>BLK1, IED>>>BLK1 and/or IED>>>>BLK1 enabling parameters
are set to ON and a binary input is designed for logical block (Block1), the concerning element
is blocked off whenever the given input is active.[2] The enabling parameters are available inside
the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Directional earth fault overcurrent-67N \ IED> Element (IED>> Element,
IED>>> Element, IED>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus, while the Block1 function must be assigned
to the selected binary input inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary input IN1(x) menus.
Note 1 The common settings concerning the Breaker failure protection are adjustable inside the Breaker Failure - BF menu.

Selective block (Block2)
All along the protective elements the selective block may be set.
The logic selectivity function may be performed by means any combination of the following I/O:
• One committed pilot wire input (BLIN1).
• One or more binary inputs designed for input selective block.
• One committed pilot wire output (BLOUT1).
• One or more output relays designed for output selective block.
Only when the committed pilot wire are used the continuity check of the pilot wire link is active.
Use of committed pilot wire input BLIN1:
• The protection is blocked off according the selectivity block criteria when the input BLIN1 is active.
The information about phase or phase+earth block may be select programming the ModeBLIN1
parameter inside the Set\Profile A(or B)\Selective block-BLOCK2\ Selective block IN menus.
Use of binary inputs:
• If the IED>BLK2IN, IED>>BLK2IN, IED>>>BLK2IN and/or IED>>>>BLK2IN parameters
are set to ON and a binary input is designed for selective block (Block2), the protection is blocked
off by phase elements (Block2 Iph) or by any protection element (Block2 Iph/IE) according the se-
lectivity block criteria.[1] The enable IED>BLK2IN, IED>>BLK2IN, IED>>>BLK2IN and/or
IED>>>>BLK2IN parameters are available inside the Set\Profile A(or B)\Directional earth fault
overcurrent-67N \ IED> Element (IED>> Element, IED>>> Element, IED>>>> Element) \Setpoints
menus, while the Block2 Iph and Block2 Iph/IE functions must be assigned to the selected
binary inputs inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary input IN1(2) menus (IN1 or IN2 matching).
Use of committed pilot wire output BLOUT1:
• The information about phase or phase+earth block may be select programming the ModeBLOUT1
parameter (OFF - ON IPh - ON IPh/IE - ON IE) inside Set\Profile A(or B)\Selective block-
BLOCK2\ Selective block OUT menus.
Use of output relay (K1...K6):
• If the IED>BLK2OUT, IED>>BLK2OUT, IED>>>BLK2OUT and/or IED>>>>BLK2OUT
enable parameters are set to ON and a output relay is designed for selective block (Block2), the
protection issues a block output by phase elements (BLK2OUT-Iph) or by any protection element
(BLK2OUT-Iph/IE), whenever the given element (Start IED>, Start IED>>, Start IED>>> and/or Start
IED>>>>) becomes active. The enable IED>BLK2OUT, IED>>BLK2OUT, IED>>>BLK2OUT
and/or IED>>>>BLK2OUT parameters (ON or OFF) are available inside the Set\Profile
A(or B)\Directional earth fault overcurrent-67 \ IED> Element (IED>> Element, IED>>> Element,
IED>>>> Element) \Setpoints menus, while the BLK2OUT-Iph-K, BLK2OUT-Iph/IE-K and/or
BLK2OUT-IE-K output relays and LEDs (BLK2OUT-Iph-L, BLK2OUT-Iph/IE-L e/o BLK2OUT-
IE-L) must be select inside the Set\Profile A(or B)\Selective block-BLOCK2\ Selective block OUT
menu.
Internal selective block (Block4)
As well as to send or transmit a selective block toward other protective relays, each protective
element may be enabled for receive or transmit a selective block from/to other internal protective
elements.[2]
The internal selective block of one or more element concerning the directional earth fault overcur-
rent function may be enabled/disabled by means the IED>BLK4, IED>>BLK4, IED>>>BLK4
and/or IED>>>>BLK4 parameters (virtual input and output common to all protective thresholds);
the following operating modes are available:
• IN - the element is enabled to receive the selective block from an internal input.
• OUT - the element is enabled to send the selective block to an internal output.
• OFF - the element is disabled to send/receive the internal selective block.
Transmission and reception for the same element is not allowed, so any stall situation due to wrong
setting is avoided.
The internal selective block can work together with an external selective block from other protective
relays (Block2).
Note 1 The exhaustive treatment of the selective block (Block 2) function may be found in the “Selective Block” paragraph inside CONTROL AND
MONITORING section
Nota 2 The exhaustive treatment of the internal selective block (Block 4) function may be found in the “Internal selective block” paragraph inside
CONTROL AND MONITORING section.
