The 7VH80 relay is designed forfast and selective differentialprotection based on the highimpedance circulating currentprinciple. It is used for theprotection of machine statorwindings, busbars andtransformer and reactorwindings against phase to phase
and phase to earth short circuits.
Design
The withdrawable module ishoused in a 7XP2010 metalcase suitable for flush mounting.The plug connector at the rear ofthe case has one screw and onesnap on terminal for eachconnection point. The plugconnector is marked with a co-ordinated system depending onthe mounting location e.g. 4A1denoted row 4, block 1, column
1. The individual connectionsare marked sequentially from leftto right (viewed from the rear).See fig. 3.
Mode of Operation
The 7VH80 relay is a single pole
sensitive current relay. The ACinput impedance of the relay isadjusted by means of a series ofhigh wattage resistors. Therelay setting is a voltage pick-upvalue that is set by means ofconnecting pins that are insertedin the front of the relay module.When the pin is inserted, thecorresponding series resistor isshorted out and when the pin iswithdrawn, the resistor is incircuit. Each pin socket has avoltage value. The relay voltagesetting is determined by addingup the socket value all of thewithdrawn pins (series resistorsin circuit) plus the minimum basevoltage setting. These seriesresistors are termed stabilizingresistors and the setting on therelay determines the steadystate rms voltage required forrelay operation.
The input from the CTs isconnected to terminals 1A1 and1A2. The relay input transformergalvanically isolates the relay
static measurement circuit fromthe main current transformers.
The AC measured current isband pass filtered and rectifiedto a proportional dc voltage.This voltage is monitored by aSchmidt trigger circuit. If the set
dc voltage, equivalent to therelay nominal operating currentof 2OmA is exceeded, then thetrigger operates to energise thecommand output relay as well asthe operation indicator.
The auxiliary dc supply isconnected to terminals 4A1(+ve)and 4A2(-ve). An auxiliary dcsupply monitoring circuitconsisting of a green LED and aN/C relay contact is provided toindicate the status of the dcsupply.
The relatively simple electronicdesign of the 7VH80 provides arobust and reliable relay suitablefor all high impedance circulatingcurrent protection applications.
The employ of a solid statemeasurement circuit ensures arelatively constant and fastoperating time.

Setting advice
With particular reference tohigh impedance busbar
protection, the plant andequipment should haveprotection with the followingfeatures:
adequate sensitivity
fast response time
stability, when external faultsoccur
selectivity to allowdisconnection of only thefaulted section
permanent supervision of thecurrent transformers(optional)
Relay operation shall notoccur on:
saturation of the CTs by thetransient dc componentwhen a serious fault occursoutside the zone
accidental open or shortcircuit of the secondary ofone or more CTs
Two types of configurationare generally provided:
single phase faults; requiringone 7VH80 relay
polyphase faults; requiring agrouping of three (3) 7VH80relays
Current transformersupervision, if called for,protects against the accidentalopening of a CT connection.This occurrence normallycauses a fault current that istoo low to activate the relaycircuits, however the condition
should be signalled before theappearance of an actual fault.The supervision would registerthe low unbalanced current andcontrol a time delayed outputalarm.
Knee-point voltage of currenttransformers
The CTs will not be saturatedby the short-circuit current if theknee-point voltage is greaterthan twice the maximumvoltage likely to be applied
across the terminals of therelay during the fault.
V V V V RMAX K F K
= 2 2 ( )
At the maximum secondarythrough fault current thevaristor should limit the voltageto 1 5OOV rms if possible.
Determination ofmagnetizing current IE
The manufacturer of thecurrent transformer suppliesthe magnetic characteristics
from which the magnetizingcurrent curve versus the
secondary voltage is shown.From this curve, it is easy todetermine the magnetizingcurrent IE for a secondaryvoltage of V.
CT supervision circuit
If the CTs have broken orshorted connections, theprotective relay may detect thiscondition as a busbar fault andtherefore trip all the circuitbreakers in that zone.If several CTs are associatedin the zone, the disconnectionof one of them (correspondingperhaps to a lightly loadedfeeder) will result in a very lowfault current measurement.If this unbalance is lower thanthe 7VH80 setting, thiscondition will not be detected.Therefore a more sensitivemonitoring circuit is required forCT supervision.
This supervision circuitoperates with a time delay to
avoid a false alarm signal incase of a busbar fault. Whenchoosing a setting the followingrule should generally beadopted:The supervision relay must besensitive to an unbalancecorresponding to a busbarcurrent of 25A or to 10% of thecurrent in the least loadedingoing or outgoing feeder. Thehighest current value will beadopted.Further details may be providedon request.

Varistor Selection
Each 7VH80 relay is normallyapplied with an external varistor
which must be connectedacross the relay input terminals.The varistor limits the voltagedeveloped across the CT andrelay terminals under faultconditions.A varistor is a non-linear orvoltage dependent resistor. It isa ceramic semi-conductingresistance material in which the
relationship between resistanceand applied voltage is non-linear,
i.e. an increase in the appliedvoltage will result in a decreasein the resistance and hence anincrease in the current. Thechange in resistance occursinstantaneously.The electrical characteristics canbe expressed as V = KI
Bwhere
K and B are constant for any onevaristor.
If the current transformersecondary voltage is to be
limited to a safe levelduring maximum internal faultconditions then a varistor maybe required. Generally if
VRMAX > 2KVthen a varistor is required

Installation andCommissioning Instructions
Installation
Protective relays, althoughgenerally of robust construction,require careful treatment prior toinstallation. By observing a fewsimple rules the possibility ofpremature failure is eliminatedand a high degree ofperformance can be expected.
The relays are either despatchedindividually or as part of apanel/rack mounted assembly incartons specifically designed toprotect them from damage.Relays should be examinedimmediately they are received toensure that no damage has been
sustained in transit. If damagedue to rough handling isevident, a claim should bemade to the TransportCompany concernedimmediately and the nearestSiemens Office should bepromptly notified. Relays whichare supplied unmounted andnot

intended for immediateinstallation should be returned totheir protective cartons.
Care must be taken when
unpacking and installing therelays so that none of the partsare damaged or their settingsaltered and must at all times behandled by skilled persons only.
Relays which have beenremoved from their cases shouldnot be left in situations wherethey are exposed to dust ordamp. This particularly appliesto installations which are beingcarried out at the same time asconstruction work.
If relays are not installedimmediately upon receipt theyshould be stored in a place freefrom dust and moisture in theiroriginal cartons and wheredehumidifier bags have beenincluded in the packing theyshould be retained.
The action of the dehumidifiercrystals will be impaired if thebag has been exposed to dampambient conditions and may berestored by gently heating the
bag for about an hour, prior toreplacing it in the carton.
Dust which collects on a cartonmay, on subsequent unpacking,find its way into the relay; indamp conditions the carton andpacking may becomeimpregnated with moisture andthe de-humidifying agent willlose its efficiency.The storage temperature range
is -25 and +55C.
The installation should be clean,dry and reasonably free fromdust and excessive vibration.The site should preferably bewell illuminated to facilitateinspection. The relay should bemounted in the cut-out or rackprovided (Fig 3.) and wiredaccording to Figure 2 or therelevant drawing or schematicdiagram.
Commisioning preliminaries
Inspection
Carefully examine the moduleand case to see that no damagehas occurred during transit.Check that the relay serialnumber on the module, caseand cover are identical, and thatthe model number and ratinginformation are correct.
Check that the external wiring iscorrect to the relevant relaydiagram or scheme diagram.
Particular attention should bepaid to the correct wiring and
value of any external resistorsindicated on the wiringdiagram/relay rating information.
Note that shorting switchesshown on the relay diagram arefitted internally across therelevant case terminals andclose when the module iswithdrawn. It is essential thatsuch switches are fitted acrossall CT circuits.
If a test block is provided, theconnections should be checkedto the scheme diagram,particularly that the supplyconnections are to the live sideof the test block.
Earthing
Ensure that the case earthingconnection at the rear terminalblock, is used to connect therelay to a local earth bar.
Insulation
The relay, and its associatedwiring, should be insulationtested between:
all electrically isolated circuits
all circuits and earth
An electronic or brushlessinsulation tester should be used,having a dc voltage notexceeding 1000V. Accessibleterminals of the same circuitshould first be strappedtogether. Deliberate circuitearthing links, removed for the
tests, must subsequently bereplaced.
It is only necessary to check therelay at the setting on which it is
to be used. The relay must notbe used at any setting other thanthat for which the setting hasbeen calculated.
Commissioning TestsTest Equipment
1 Secondary injection testequipment capable ofproviding an AC voltagesupply of up to at least120% of the relay setting.

.
General
If the relay is wired through atest block it is recommendedthat all secondary injection testsshould be carried out using thisblock.
Ensure that the main systemcurrent transformers are shortedbefore isolating the relay fromthe current transformers inpreparation for secondaryinjection tests.
Danger
Do not open circuit thesecondary circuit of a currenttransformer since the highvoltage produced may belethal and could damage
insulation.
Secondary injection testing
Connect the circuit as shown inFigure 6 and ensure that thecurrent transformer primary isopen circuit and that if anyearthing connections are fitted,they do not short out theprimaries of any currenttransformers.
Increase the voltage until the
relay just operates.

Record the current at which therelay operates (A2). It should beapproximately 2OmA at setting.
Note also the voltage at whichthe relay operates which shouldcorrespond to the setting VR ofthe relay with a tolerance of 10%. The total secondarycurrent for operation will begiven on ammeter A1.This testshould be repeated for eachpole of the relay.
Record the value at which therelay picks up and then reducethe voltage until it drops off.From these two values calculate
the drop off/pick up value. Itshould be approximately 0,95.
Primary injection testing
It is essential that primaryinjection testing is carried out toprove the correct polarity ofcurrent transformers.Before commencing any primaryinjection testing it is essential toensure that the circuit is dead,isolated from the remainder ofthe system and that only those
earth connections associatedwith the primary test equipmentare in position.
Primary fault setting
The primary fault setting of anybalanced scheme can bechecked using the circuit shownin Figure 7. The primary currentis injected into each currenttransformer in turn andincreased until the relay
operates. The voltage at whichthe relay operates should bewithin 10% of the relay setting
voltage VR. The primary currentfor operation and relay currentshould be noted.
In the case of machineprotection similar tests must becarried out by injecting first intoeach current transformer in turnto determine the primary faultsetting.
For large machines the machineitself can be used to provide thefault current to check the primaryfault setting as shown in Figure
10. The machine should be runup to speed with no excitation.The excitation should then beincreased until the relays haveall operated. The primarycurrent, relay current and relayvoltage should be noted as eachrelay operates.
Through fault stability
With any form of unbalancedprotection it is necessary tocheck that the current
transformers are correctlyconnected. For this purposewith a restricted earth faultscheme the circuit shown inFigure 6 may be used. Duringthis test the relay is shorted outand the spill current through therelay circuit A2 is measured.The current is increased up to asnear full load as possible andthe spill current noted. The spillcurrent should be very low, onlya few milliamps if the
connections are correct. A highreading (twice the injectedcurrent, referred through the
current transformer ratio)indicates that one of the currenttransformers polarity is reversed.
Injection should be carried outthrough each phase to neutral.
Where primary injection is notpracticable as in the case ofrestricted earth fault protectionon a transformer it may bepossible to check stability bymeans of back energising thetransformer from a low voltagesupply as shown in Figure 9.
(eg. 38OV)In the case of machineprotection similar stability testsmust be carried out by injectinginto one and out of anothercurrent transformer connectedon the same phase.
For large machines, the machineitself can be used to provide thefault current, but the short circuitmust now be fitted as shown inFigure 11. The machine shouldbe run up to normal speed andthe excitation increased until theprimary current is approximatelyfull load, when the spill currentshould be checked.
All other types of balancedprotection should be tested in asimilar manner.
At the conclusion of the testsensure that all connections arecorrectly restored and anyshorting connections removed.
