Ordering Information
1.1 GENERAL
The first part of the publication contains general description & operating instructions of
AEGIS Series Transformer Protection Relay. It also includes instructions for
parameterization and configuration of the Relay.
1.1.1 Philosophy
The following figure shows the architecture for a numerical protection relay:
The device samples 3 phase quantities (current and voltage) which are at power system
level. The levels of these signals are reduced by transducers, i.e voltage and current
transformers. Current transformer converts a primary current into a secondary current through
a magnetic medium. Voltage transformer steps down the system voltage to a safer value for
further processing.
Transformers provide electric & static isolation between analog input variables and
internal electronic circuits, and adjust the signal to a suitable level for processing. The outputs
of transducers are applied to Signal Conditioner or analog input subsystem.
Signal Conditioner brings real world signals into the digitizer. This block includes
various amplifiers to increase the gain, and thus strengthen the signals. It also converts
currents to equivalent voltages. Filtering is done to avoid aliasing effect and suppress HF
interferences.
The outputs of Signal Conditioner containing the phase information are applied to the a
16-bit SAR analog to digital converter. After sampling and quantization by ADC, analog
electrical signals are represented by discrete values of samples taken at specified instants of
time. The output from ADC is fed to the 32-bit Digital Signal Processor. Also, the status of
CB is given to the ADC via digital input subsystem. Digital Inputs allows the DSP to detect
logic states.
The device is fully designed using numerical technology. This means that all the signal
filtering, protection and control functions are implemented through digital signal processing.
The DSP processes the signals in form of discrete numbers by a incorporating a relaying
algorithm using numerical methods. A relaying algorithm which processes the acquired
information is a part of the software. The algorithm uses signal processing technique to
estimate the real and imaginary components of fundamental voltage and frequency phasors.
The computed quantities are compared with pre-specified thresholds to decide whether
the system is experiencing a fault or not. If there is a fault, the device issues an alarm signal
or sends a trip command to the circuit breakers to isolate the faulted zone of power system.
The trip output is transmitted to the power system through digital output subsystem. Digital
Outputs allow the processor to output the logic states.
It is important to know the occurrence of an event, fault, and its type, and the time at
which it occurs. This job is accurately done by Real Time Clock by giving time stamps at
regular intervals. Non-volatile memories are used to store the fault records, various
parameters and settings which determine functioning of the device. A graphical LCD display
is provided to view the relay features, system voltages, current phase angle values and
various settings. Keypad is given for configuring the relay input parameters.
The IED needs to communicate with the outside world. So, a requirement of an
Ethernet port is mandatory in these types of devices, which is required for MODBUS on
TCP/IP, IEC61850, and IEC60870-103 on TCP/IP types of protocol. But, DSP does not have
any Ethernet (MAC) port, also it is dedicated for signal and application processing purposes
and hence, it does not possess the power for Ethernet communication. An ARM processor is
therefore incorporated in the design, which has a 32-bit RISC core and operates at, upto 456
MHz. It is capable of processing 32-bit, 16-bit, or 8-bit data.

power distribution applications. The relay features following protection functions:

It is assumed that everyone who will be associated with the equipment will be familiar
with the contents of that Safety Section, or this Safety Guide.
Proper and safe operation of the equipment depends on appropriate shipping and
handling, proper storage, installation and commissioning, and on careful operation,
maintenance and Servicing. For this reason only qualified personnel may work on or operate
the equipment.
are familiar with the installation, commissioning, and operation of the equipment and of
the system to which it is being connected;
are able to safely perform switching operations in accordance with accepted safety
engineering practices and are authorised to energize and de-energize equipment and to
isolate, ground, and label it;
are trained in the care and use of safety apparatus in accordance with safety Engineering
practices;
are trained in emergency procedures (first aid).
The operating manual for the equipment gives instructions for its installation,
commissioning, and operation. However, the manual cannot cover all conceivable
circumstances or include detailed information on all topics. In the event of questions or
specific problems, do not take any action without proper authorization.
Equipment connection
Any disassembly of the equipment may expose the parts at hazardous voltage, also
electronic parts may be damaged if suitable electrostatic voltage discharge (ESD)
precautions are not taken.
If there is unlocked access to the rear of the equipment, care should be taken by all
personnel to avoid electric shock or energy hazards.
Voltage and current connections should be made using insulated crimp terminations to
ensure that terminal block insulation requirements are maintained for safety.
To ensure that wires are correctly terminated the correct crimp terminal and tool for the
wire size should be used.
The equipment must be connected in accordance with the appropriate connection diagram.
Equipment use
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Removal of the equipment front panel/cover may expose hazardous live parts which must
not be touched until the electrical power is removed.
The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and environmental limits.
Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high voltage produced may be
lethal to personnel and could damage insulation. Generally, for safety, the secondary of the
line CT must be shorted before opening any connections to it.
For most equipment with ring-terminal connections, the threaded terminal block for current
transformer termination has automatic CT shorting on removal of the module. Therefore
external shorting of the CTs may not be required; the equipment documentation should be
checked to see if this applies.
For equipment with pin-terminal connections, the threaded terminal block for current
transformer termination does NOT have automatic CT shorting on removal of the module.
Insulation testing may leave capacitors charged up to a hazardous voltage. At the end of
each part of the test, the voltage should be gradually reduced to zero, to discharge
capacitors, before the test leads are disconnected.
Modules and PCB cards must not be inserted into or withdrawn from the equipment whilst
it is energised, since this may result in damage.
Cleaning
The equipment may be cleaned using a lint free cloth dampened with clean water, when no
connections are energised.
Decommissioning:
The supply input (auxiliary) for the equipment may include capacitors across the supply or
to earth. To avoid electric shock or energy hazards, after completely isolating the supplies
to the equipment (both poles of any dc supply), the capacitors should be safely discharged
via the external terminals prior to decommissioning.
Disposal:
Receipt of relays
Electrostatic discharge
The relays use components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. The
electronic circuits are well protected by the metal case and the internal module should not
be withdrawn unnecessarily. When handling the module outside its case, care should be
taken to avoid contact with components and electrical connections. If removed from the
case for storage, the module should be placed in an electrically conducting antistatic bag.
There are no setting adjustments within the module and it is advised that it is not
unnecessarily disassembled. Although the printed circuit boards are plugged together, the
connectors are a Manufacturing aid and not intended for frequent dismantling; in fact
considerable effort may be required to separate them. Touching the printed circuit board
should be avoided, since complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS) are used,
which can be damaged by static electricity discharged from the body.
The electronic circuits are completely safe from electrostatic discharge when housed in
the case. Do not expose them to risk of damage by withdrawing modules unnecessarily.
Each module incorporates the highest practicable protection for its semiconductor
devices. However, if it becomes necessary to withdraw a module, the following precautions
should be taken to preserve the high reliability and long life for which the equipment has
been designed and manufactured.
Before removing a module, ensure that you are at the same electrostatic potential as the
equipment by touching the case.
Handle the module by its front plate, frame or edges of the printed circuit board. Avoid
touching the electronic components, printed circuit track or connectors.
Do not pass the module to another person without first ensuring you are both at the same
electrostatic potential. Shaking hands achieves equipotential.
Place the module on an antistatic surface, or on a conducting surface which is at the same
potential as yourself.
Store or transport the module in a conductive bag.
If you are making measurements on the internal electronic circuitry of equipment in service,
it is preferable that you are earthed to the case with a conductive wrist strap. Wrist straps
should have a resistance to ground between 500kΩ – 10MΩ.
If a wrist strap is not available you should maintain regular contact with the case to prevent a
build-up of static. Instrumentation which may be used for making measurements should be
earthed to the case whenever possible.
1.1.3.5 Storage
If relays are not to be installed immediately upon receipt they should be stored in a
place free from dust and moisture in their original cartons. Where de-humidifier bags have
been included in the packing they should be retained. The action of the de-humidifier crystals
will be impaired if the bag has been exposed to ambient conditions and may be restored by
gently heating the bag for about an hour, prior to replacing it in the carton. Dust which
collects on a carton may, on subsequent unpacking, find its way into the relay; in damp
conditions the carton and packing may become impregnated with moisture and the
dehumidifier will lose its efficiency.

All the LEDs, Output Relays can be configured as Self reset or Hand Reset by using the
menus in the BI/BO window.
If any protection function is operated and LEDs/Output Relays are Hand Reset, then
acknowledgement or Resetting is done by pressing the Esc( ) key in the keypad.
If any protection function is operated and LEDs/Output Relays are Self Reset, then
acknowledgement or Resetting is done automatically when the fault is cleared.

This port is used for communication with standard SCADA master/client softwares.
In total, eight current inputs are provided on the analog input modules. Terminals are
available for both 1A and 5A inputs. CT ratios are input by the user in the CONF menu.
Current is sampled at 1600Hz for 50Hz systems and 1920Hz for 60Hz systems (32 samples
per cycle). Depending on the frequency, the data will always be sampled according to 32
samples / cycle.
A single voltage inputs is provided on the analog input modules. VT ratio is input by
the user in the CONF menu. Voltage is sampled at 1600Hz for 50Hz systems and 1920Hz for
60Hz systems (32 samples per cycle). Depending on the frequency, the data will always be
sampled according to 32 samples / cycle.
The binary inputs are opto-couplers operated from a suitably rated dc supply. The
Aegis relays can be configured with 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 binary inputs (BI) as per the ordering
information. The user can assign any binary input to any of the available functions from the
BIBO menu. Pick-up and drop-off time delays are associated with each binary input. These
settings can be done from the DI Debounce settings in Configuration menu. Each BI may be
mapped to any of the front fascia LEDs and / or to any Binary output contact and can also be
used with the internal user programmable logic. This allows the relay to provide panel
indications and alarms.
The Aegis relays can be configured with 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 binary outputs (BO) as per the
ordering information. All outputs are fully user configurable and can be programmed to
operate from any or all of the available functions. Out of the available BOs (eg. 8 BOs in this
case), six binary outputs are normally open (NO) contacts (BO 3 – BO 8) & two binary
outputs are change-over (CO) contacts (BO 1 & BO 2). BOs 1 – 4 & BOs 7 - 8 are signaling
contacts, whereas BOs 5 – 6 are heavy-duty contacts. In the default mode of operation, binary
outputs are self reset. If required, outputs can be programmed to operate as „hand reset‟. The
binary outputs can also be used to operate the trip coils of the circuit breaker directly.
The relays have 16 virtual input/outputs & these are internal logic states. The number of
these virtual I/Os can be extended upto 64 through the user programmable Logic in the
ConAegis Relay Communication Software. The Virtual I/O is assigned in the same way as
Binary Inputs and Binary Outputs. Virtual I/Os can be mapped from the BIBO menu, and can
be used to enable / disable a protection function or to change a setting group.
The relays have 2 general inputs & these are internal logic states. The general input is
assigned in the same way as Binary Inputs, but the logic for operation of these inputs is to be
designed in the user programmable Logic in the ConAegis Relay Communication Software.
General inputs can be mapped from the BIBO menu, and can be used to enable / disable a
protection function or to change a setting group.
The device stores some data in the non-volatile memory. This includes the 500 events
are visible on the display or from the ConAegis software. The Disturbance Record can be
stored in the memory for upto 3 days, and all the setting parameters remain saved
approximately upto 5 years at power off.

DI Debounce Pick up: Sets the minimum time for which the assigned DI should be
triggered so as to be considered as active. The DI Debounce Time helps to eliminate
debounces and short disturbances on a binary input. Consider a following example shown
in figure which shows two possible scenarios. The DI pick up time is set as 20ms. In the
first case, the input signal picks up but drops off immediately before the 20ms. Hence, the
output signal stays low and DI remains to be logic „0‟. In the second case, the input signal
picks up & stays high for more than 20ms, i.e. the DI Debounce Pick up time. Hence the
output signal goes high and DI status becomes logic „1‟, or we can say that DI pick up has
occurred.

The biased differential protection 87BD is used to detect transformer faults within the
zone defined by comparing the current on the primary and secondary side of transformer.
Therefore current transformers are located on primary and secondary side of power
transformer. The differential protection is based on difference of the winding currents
between HV and LV side. In transformer applications the current calculation depends on
transformer connection group.

Magnetic flux in the transformer core is directly proportional to the voltage and
inversely proportional to the frequency. Higher the V/f ratio, the greater is the magnetizing
current that might to heating and insulation failure. The over fluxing protection function

Any unbalance fault condition produces negative phase sequence current of some
magnitude which could not be previously identified by the traditional phase overcurrent as
well as the residual overcurrent protection techniques. This can be now achieved by the
Negative phase sequence overcurrent protection element. A negative phase sequence element
can operate for both phase and earth faults. This kind of protection gives greater sensitivity
compared overcurrent and earth fault protection elements.

Drop in current beneath the defined level this indicates a low load or CB open
condition. It may also be possible that no current is flowing. The undercurrent function can
be used as a fault current check i.e. that no fault current continues to flow, or as a check that a
CB has opened. This can be used in addition to or in place of CB auxiliary switch indications.
The following figure shows navigation of various settings & LED & BO configurations

Overvoltage conditions are generally related to loss of load conditions, where the
supply voltage is increased in magnitude. Abnormally high voltages often occur in low
loaded, long distance transmission lines, in islanded systems when generator voltage
regulation fails, or after full load rejection of a generator from the system.
The following figure shows navigation of various settings & LED & BO configurations
for IDMT & INST stages of Over Voltage Protection.

Under voltage conditions may occur on a power system for a variety of reasons and is
mostly related to increased loads, where the supply voltage decreases in magnitude. This
situation would normally be rectified by voltage regulating equipment. However, if the
regulating equipment proves to be unsuccessful in restoring healthy system voltage, tripping
by means of an under voltage element is required.
The following figure shows navigation of various settings & LED & BO configurations
for IDMT & INST stages of Under Voltage Protection.

Due to occurrence of earth fault on the primary system, the balance of three-phase
power system gets disturbed producing a residual voltage. This circumstance causes a rise in
the neutral voltage with respect to earth. Therefore, this protection is also commonly referred
to as 'Neutral Voltage Displacement'. Voltage Setting applied to the protection elements is
dependent on the magnitude of the residual voltage that is expected to occur during the fault
conditions.
The following figure shows navigation of various settings & LED & BO configurations
for IDMT & INST stages of NDR Protection.

The operation of circuit breaker is vital to isolate the fault or at least limit the damage to
the power system. After protection function generates a trip command, it is expected that the
circuit breaker opens and/or the fault current drops below the pre-defined normal level. But if
the fault does not disappear within a given time after the initial trip command, circuit breaker
failure protection can be used to trip any upstream circuit breaker (CB). CBF protection
monitors the circuit breaker and establishes whether it has opened within a reasonable time. If
the fault current has not been interrupted following a set time delay from circuit breaker trip
initiation, the CBF protection will operate, whereby the upstream circuit breakers are tripped
to ensure that the fault is isolated.
The following figure shows navigation of various settings & LED & BO configurations
for both stages of breaker failure protection.

The relay has multiple Binary inputs & Binary outputs. This configuration allows
programming or assigning any relay output for any fault Pick-up and trip condition. The
binary outputs can also be configured on to operate on activation of binary inputs. Also,
protection on binary inputs (BI), virtual inputs (VI), or general inputs (GI) can be enabled.
Figure shows navigation of some of the screens from the BI-O menu, & settings in
each of the settings have been explained below.
If a user wishes to configure an external BI to operate any BO, for eg., on occurrence of
a alarm, trip or settings of a protection function, the function can be used. When the user
selects Yes in EXT BI-BO setting, the display shows a matrix which allows the user to
configure any BI to any BO. Selecting the crosspoint and changing the value from OFF to
ON ensures this assignment.
LEDs can be assigned to indicate the status of external BIs (active / inactive). When the
user selects Yes in EXT BI-LED setting, the display shows a matrix which allows the user to
configure any BI to any of the LEDs 5 - 16. Selecting the crosspoint and changing the value
from OFF to ON ensures this assignment.
All the LEDs and BOs can be configured as Self Reset or Hand Reset. These are
usually Self Reset by default, i.e. the dedicated LEDs and BOs operate at the end of the DT.
In case of Hand Reset, the LEDs and BOs do not reset after the condition is passed, unless the
ESC key is pressed on the relay. When the user selects Yes in SELF / HAND RESET
setting, the display shows the status of LEDs and BOs, whether they are configured to
operate on self reset or hand reset. Hand Reset and Self Reset are denoted as HR and SR
respectively. Selecting the particular LED / BO and changing the value from SR to HR, or
vice versa ensures this assignment.
This setting is used to enable / disable the operation of any protection function based on
an active BI. When the user selects Yes in PROT ON BI setting, the display shows a matrix
which allows the user to configure any protection function to any of the available BIs.
Selecting the crosspoint and changing the value from ENABLE to DISABLE or vice versa
ensures this assignment. If NONE is selected, the protection function can be only enabled
from the respective protection function settings.
This setting enables the user to assign a BI to a particular Setting Group. This means
that the various protection settings defined in a Setting Group can be enabled, simply on the
activation of the assigned BI. Any of the available BIs can be assigned to any setting group.
When the user selects Yes in SET. GRP ON BI setting, the display shows the status of BIs.
Selecting the particular BI and changing the value from Group 1 to Group 4 ensures this
assignment. If NONE is selected, the setting group selected in the Configuration menu will
be active.
Similar to Protection on BI setting, this setting is used to enable / disable the operation
of any protection function based on an active VI. When the user selects Yes in PROT ON VI
setting, the display shows a matrix which allows the user to configure any protection function
to any of the VIs. Selecting the crosspoint and changing the value from ENABLE to
DISABLE or vice versa ensures this assignment. If NONE is selected, the protection
function can be only enabled from the respective protection function settings.
Similar to the Setting Group on BI setting, this setting enables the user to assign a VIs
to a particular Setting Group. This means that the various protection settings defined in a
Setting Group can be enabled, simply on the activation of the assigned VI. Any of the VIs
can be assigned to any setting group. When the user selects Yes in SET. GRP ON VI setting,
the display shows the status of VIs. Selecting the particular VI and changing the value from
Group 1 to Group 4 ensures this assignment. If NONE is selected, the setting group selected
in the Configuration menu will be active.
Similar to Protection on BI setting, this setting is used to enable / disable the operation
of any protection function based on an active GI. When the user selects Yes in PROT ON GI
setting, the display shows a matrix which allows the user to configure any protection function
to any of the GIs. Selecting the crosspoint and changing the value from ENABLE to
DISABLE or vice versa ensures this assignment. If NONE is selected, the protection
function can be only enabled from the respective protection function settings. Here, the user
must note that the logic for operation of these inputs is to be designed in the user
programmable Logic in the ConAegis Relay Communication Software.
Similar to the Setting Group on BI setting, this setting enables the user to assign a GIs to a
particular Setting Group. This means that the various protection settings defined in a Setting
Group can be enabled, simply on the activation of the assigned GI. Any of the GIs can be
assigned to any setting group. When the user selects Yes in SET. GRP ON GI setting, the
display shows the status of GIs. Selecting the particular GI and changing the value from
Group 1 to Group 4 ensures this assignment. If NONE is selected, the setting group selected
in the Configuration menu will be active. Here, the user must note that the logic for
operation of these inputs is to be designed in the user programmable Logic in the ConAegis
Relay Communication Software.
The relay can be configured for various communication protocol settings as like
MODBUS, IEC 103, IEC 61850. The following figure shows navigation of various settings
in the Communication Menu, & each of the setting for the respective protocol has been
described below.
application service data units (ASDU) or using generic services for transmission of all the
possible information. The standard supports some specific protection functions and provides
the vendor a facility to incorporate its own protective functions on private data ranges.
IEC 61850 is a standard for the design of electrical substation automation. IEC 61850
is a part of the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) Technical Committee 57
(TC57) reference architecture for electric power systems. The abstract data models defined in
IEC 61850 can be mapped to a number of protocols. The current mappings in the standard
are to MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification) & GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented
Substation Event). These protocols can run over TCP/IP networks or substation LANs using
high speed switched Ethernet.
The IED has an internal real-time clock (RTC) for time stamping events, recorded data
and disturbance recordings. The device is provided with a 48-hour capacitor back-up that
enables the real-time clock to keep time in case of an auxiliary power failure. The device can
use one of two SNTP servers, the primary SNTP server or the secondary SNTP server. The
primary server is the default SNTP server in use, whereas the secondary server is used if the
primary server cannot be reached. This scenario can be explained using a flowchart:

The device connects to the Primary SNTP Server first. The time is requested from the
SNTP server every 1 minute. In case of unavailability of Primary SNTP server, 2 attempts are
made to obtain synchronization with this server. If Primary SNTP server responds within this
time, the device is synced with this server. If Primary SNTP server does not respond on the
2nd attempt, the IED switches to the Secondary SNTP server on third SNTP request.
If both the SNTP servers are offline, event time stamps have the time invalid status.

Aegis Transformer Protection Relay stores the latest 10 faults occurred in the system.
On occurrence of a fault, the display instantly jumps to the Fault Record (FL-R) menu if the
setting Trip Alert is enabled in Configuration menu. These records consist of, for example,
the trip count, fault type, fault location, and fault measurements. The time stamp is also
accurately given in the fault record. The fault records can also be viewed from the ConAegis
Relay Communication Software.
The relay records latest 10 faults and stores them in non volatile memory. This enables
the user to obtain the sequence of faults that occurred in the relay. When the allocated
memory is used up, the oldest fault record is automatically overwritten by the new one.
This menu also gives a setting CLEAR FAULT REC to clear the fault records. If the
user says Yes to this setting, all the fault records will be cleared. Also, the user must note
here that all the event records will also get cleared. The following figure shows navigation of
for the Fault Record menu.

Aegis Transformer Protection Relay stores the latest 15 disturbance records occurred in
the system. The device is provided with a disturbance recorder featuring up to 9 analog and
200 binary signal channels. The analog channels can be set to record the trend of the currents
and voltage measured. The analog channels can be set to trigger the recording function when
the measured value falls below or exceeds the set values. The binary signal channels can be
set to start a recording on the rising or the falling edge of the binary signal or both.
By default, the binary channels are set to record external or internal device signals, like
the alarm & trip signals of the various protection stages stages, or external blocking or control
signals. Also, these signals generated over a binary input can be set to trigger the recording.
The recorder can be triggered by any start or trip signal from any protection stage or by
a binary input. The triggering signal is selected in the output matrix. The recording can also
be triggered manually. All the recordings are time stamped. The disturbance records can be
downloaded from the ConAegis Relay Communication Software & can be viewed in standard
Comtrade player such as Transwin.
The recorded information is stored in a non-volatile memory in FIFO manner and can
be uploaded for subsequent fault analysis. Disturbance records continue to be recorded until
the allocated memory is exhausted. When the allocated memory is used up, the oldest fault
record is automatically overwritten by the new one.
Also, this menu gives a pre-fault recording time which sets the trigger point as a
percentage of the duration. For example, the default settings show that the trigger point is set
to be 20%, which gives 0.2s pre-fault and 0.8s post-fault recording times for a DR time of 1s.
The DR file is saved in standard COMTRADE format and can be viewed in ConAegis Relay
Communication Software.
A provision has been given to clear the disturbance records from DR CLEAR setting.
If the user says Yes to this setting, the DR gets cleared. Here, it means that the memory gets
cleared, but the DR COMTRADE file remains intact. This file can be regenerated & retrieved
from the CGL IED 61850 Tool.
The following figure shows navigation of for the Disturbance Record menu, & each
setting has been explained below.
Trip Triggering: Selects the trip signals of the protection functions to trigger the DR.
Pickup Triggering: Selects the pickup signals of the protection functions to trigger the
DR.

Aegis Transformer Protection Relay stores the latest 500 events occurred in the system.
The events records display the event number, the frame type, which is distinctive for
occurrence of an event (ASDU 1) and occurrence of a fault (ASDU 2), information related to
faults, the fault number, and the date & time at which fault has occurred. The events are
stored in the non-volatile memory. This enables the user to obtain the sequence of events that
occurred in the relay. When the allocated memory is used up, the oldest event is
automatically overwritten by the new one. The event records can be viewed from the front
end or remotely using the ConAegis Relay Communication Software.

Section Overview
This section includes all the protection functions provided by Aegis Series
Transformer Protection Relay. A brief description of the functionality, operating principle,
relay & IEC 61850 settings, signals, setting guidelines and application for each of the
protection function has been given. The section contains following chapters:
Differential Protection
Voltage Protection
Supervision Functions
Figure shows functional block diagram of a basic protection function along with a brief
description of each block.
Actuating Quantities
An actuating quantity may be current or voltage from the respective transformers of any
of the windings, HV or LV. These quantities at power system level are stepped down into
analog signals and are converted into equivalent digital signals, which make them suitable
for further processing.
Blocking Signals
The function contains a blocking functionality. It is possible to block function outputs and
the function itself, if desired.
Comparator
An actuating quantity is always compared with a threshold value, which can be set by the
user in the given permissible range, depending on the protection function. On
comparison, one the following three situations may occur:
i. If the injected quantity is less than the set threshold for overvalues, or greater than the
threshold for undervalues, normal operation of the device continues without any
alarming or tripping.
ii. If the injected quantity is greater than the set threshold for overvalues or less than the
threshold for undervalues, that stage picks up and the device issues an Alarm Signal.
This signal is further passed onto the Timer block. Timer calculates the time to trip,
based on the selected IDMT / DT curve. If the fault continues to persist till this time,
the device issues a Trip Signal. An event is registered at this time and stored in the
memory.
iii. When comparing an injected value against pickup value, some amount of hysteresis is
to be considered to avoid oscillations near equilibrium condition, i.e. if the injected
quantity is fluctuating near the set threshold, it may lead to ambiguous situation. To
achieve precise decision making in this case, a pickup and dropout level is defined
above and below the set threshold, the values for which, may be user programmable
or hard-coded. In case of IDMT operation, as soon as the Alarm Signal is issued, an
added feature of RST DT is activated. This is a Reset DT Timer, & its value
corresponds to the minimum time for which the injected quantity needs to be lower
than defined % of the threshold (typically 90 - 95 %) before the corresponding phase
time delay is reset.
Timer
The timer block calculates the delay after which a Trip Signal is to be issued to the
breaker. It can be configured by a choosing type of the curve and Time Multiplier Setting
(TMS) to so as to select the required trip time.
Reset DT Timer
This timer comes into picture when the injected quantity rides in the defined hysteresis.
This condition may generate a series of fault current pulses, until the fault becomes
permanent. If Reset DT Timer is set to non – zero value (eg. 2 sec), the resetting of the
protection element timers will be delayed for this period. When the reset time is
instantaneous, the device will repeatedly reset and will not be able to trip until the fault
becomes permanent. By using the Reset DT Timer, the device will integrate the fault
current pulses, and reduce the fault clearance time.
The biased differential protection 87BD is used to detect transformer faults within the
zone defined by comparing the current on the primary and secondary side of transformer.
Therefore current transformers are located on primary and secondary side of power
transformer. The differential protection is based on difference of the winding currents
between HV and LV side. In transformer applications the current calculation depends on
transformer connection group.
The differential protection function compares the phase currents on both sides of the
transformer. Whenever the differential current of the phase currents in one of the phases
exceed the predefined threshold of a particular stage, that stage picks up and an Alarm
Signal is issued. If the fault situation persists for longer than the estimated trip time
configured in the relay, a Trip Signal is issued.

2.1.1.2 Functionality
The settings for Bias Differential protection can be found in BD Settings menu in the
device. Aegis Transformer Protection Relay provides two adjustable bias differential stages
for low set (slope characteristics) as well as INST operation. Both, BD & BDHS stage always
operates with a definite time (DT) operation characteristic. By setting the definite delay value
to its minimum, an instantaneous operation is obtained, also known as High Set Bias
Differential Protection. The function contains a blocking functionality. It is possible to block
function outputs and the function itself, if desired. The various settings for each stage can
also be configured through the ConAegis Relay Communication Software.

Figure shows the functional block diagram for both the stages of bias differential &
each block has been described below:
This function can be enabled by configuring the 87BD PROT setting to ENABLE. A
threshold can be defined using 87BD PICK UP, ranging from 10% - 200% of the rated
current. The fundamental frequency current is measured with the line CT inputs. These
line currents are both multiplied and vector corrected before being applied to the current
differential elements. The difference current is calculated in the ICT block.
If difference current is 5% above the set threshold, this stage picks up, and an Alarm
Signal is issued by the device. This current is known as pickup current. This signal is also
made available directly to the user for use in Logic in the ConAegis Relay
Communication Software. The operation of the biased differential elements can be
inhibited from a binary or virtual input (BI/ VI).The protection function may be disabled
on activation of a BI or VI. Also, the protection may be blocked if 2nd, 4th, or 5th harmonic
is detected. This can be done by configuring 87BD If2>ACT, 87BD If4>ACT, 87BD
If5>ACT setting.
The inrush current contains a large amount of second harmonics. The transformer
magnetizing inrush currents occur when energizing the transformer after a period of de-
energization. To the bias differential protection, the inrush current represents a
differential current, which would cause the differential protection to operate almost
always when the transformer is connected to the network. The blocking of bias
differential protection at a magnetizing inrush current is based on the ratio of the
amplitudes of the second harmonic digitally filtered from the differential current and the
fundamental frequency. Blocking on the fifth harmonic ensures that the protection does
not operate on apparent differential current caused by a harmless transformer
overexcitation. The blocking of bias differential protection in the situations of
overexcitation is based on the ratio of the fifth harmonic and the fundamental component
of the differential current.
When comparing an injected value against pickup value, some amount of hysteresis is to
be considered to avoid oscillations/ fluctuations near equilibrium condition. To achieve
precise decision making in this case, a pick up and a dropout current is defined above and
below the set threshold in the Configuration Menu, which is typically 95% to 105%.
At the same instant at which Trip Signal is issued, a fault record is also time stamped
and its details can be viewed in the FL-R menu, wherein the timings & causes of the
tripping can be found out. Alarming and tripping is indicated by the dedicated LEDs on
the front panel of the device. The user can assign any of the LEDs 5-16 to indicate pickup
or trip in any of the phases from Config LED setting. Also, the BIs for pickup and trip in
any of the phases can be mapped to the BOs from Config S/W BI setting.
This function can be enabled by configuring the 87HS PROT setting to ENABLE. A
threshold can be defined using 87HS SET, ranging from 1A to 30A. The fundamental
frequency current is measured with the line CT inputs. These line currents are both multiplied
and vector corrected before being applied to the current differential elements. The difference
current is calculated in the ICT block.
The operation of the high set stage is not biased. If fundamental frequency component of
the differential current is 5% above the set threshold, this stage picks up, and an Alarm
Signal is issued by the device. This current is known as pickup current. This signal is also
made available directly to the user for use in Logic in the ConAegis Relay
Communication Software. The operation of the high set biased differential elements can
be inhibited from a binary or virtual input (BI/ VI).The protection function may be
disabled on activation of a BI or VI. Also, the protection may be blocked if 2 nd, 4th, or 5th
harmonic is detected. This can be done by configuring 87HS If2> ACT, 87HS If4>
ACT, 87HS If5> ACT setting.
When comparing an injected value against pickup value, some amount of hysteresis is to
be considered to avoid oscillations/ fluctuations near equilibrium condition. To achieve
precise decision making in this case, a pick up and a dropout current is defined above and
below the set threshold in the Configuration Menu, which is typically 95% to 105%.
At the same instant at which Trip Signal is issued, a fault record is also time stamped
and its details can be viewed in the FL-R menu, wherein the timings & causes of the
tripping can be found out. Alarming and tripping is indicated by the dedicated LEDs on
the front panel of the device. The user can assign any of the LEDs 5-16 to indicate pickup
or trip in any of the phases from Config LED setting. Also, the BIs for pickup and trip in
any of the phases can be mapped to the BOs from Config S/W BI setting.
The operating characteristics of the biased differential protection (87BD) are as shown
in the figure. The 87BD elements provide differential protection for phase and earth fault.
Slope 1 and slope 2 characteristic for protection sensitivity are dictated by the need to ensure
protection stability during load or through fault conditions.
Similarly, the following figure shows the operating characteristics for bias differential high
set stage:
The following table gives functioning and ranges for each of the settings of both the
stages in BD Settings menu for Bias Differential Protection.
The following table gives description of various pickup & trip signals for both the
stages of Bias Differential Protection. LEDs can be assigned to indicate these signals and BIs
for pickup and trip in any of the phases can be mapped to the BOs.
Setting Guidelines
Differential Calculations:
Differential current under normal condition is zero, i.e. Id =0, and incoming (Īw1), outgoing
(Īw2) current of power transformer are equal in magnitude i.e. no fault inside the protected zone,
protected zone is defined by CT‟s mounted on Primary side and secondary side of Power transformer.
But In practice differential current deviates from zero under No fault condition of power transformer
due to the current magnitude change introduced by the transformer HV/LV turns ratio, current
ratio may also be variable due to the presence of an On-Load-Tap-Changer, transformer
connections which may introduce a phase change between the currents flowing into each
winding of the transformer and Magnetizing inrush current which flows in only one winding
of the transformer when energized.
During the normal operation or external fault condition biased differential protection
will not operate. If load current increase, higher biased differential current required for
tripping and if internal fault occurs, the currents on both sides of the protected object are
flowing into it. Therefore less amount of biased differential current is required for tripping,
which increase the sensitivity of biased differential protection operation, during the internal
faults of Power transformer.

block has been described below:
If injected earth current is 5% above the set threshold, this stage picks up, and an Alarm
Signal is issued by the device. This current is known as pickup current. This signal is also
made available directly to the user for use in Logic in the ConAegis Relay
Communication Software. The Blocking Signal can be controlled by a binary input
(BI), a virtual input (VI), or an internal signal of the IED program.
Further, according to the DT curve, the device operates after predefined time in 64 DT
setting, when current exceeds its pickup value. Here, the operational time is constant,
irrespective of the magnitude of the current. When the timer has reached the value of DT
delay in the DT mode or the maximum value defined by the inverse time curve, Trip
Signal is issued by the device.
When comparing an injected value against pickup value, some amount of hysteresis is to
be considered to avoid oscillations/ fluctuations near equilibrium condition. To achieve
precise decision making in this case, a pick up and a dropout current is defined above and
below the set threshold in the Configuration Menu, which is typically 95% to 105%.
At the same instant at which Trip Signal is issued, a fault record is also time stamped
and its details can be viewed in the FL-R menu, wherein the timings & causes of the
tripping can be found out. Alarming and tripping is indicated by the dedicated LEDs on
the front panel of the device. The user can assign any of the LEDs 5-16 to indicate pickup

Setting Guidelines
Stability Requirement:
All CTs must have the same ratio. The use of class PX/PS CTs is recommended and
ensures steady state CT errors are minimised. A class PX/PS CT has a defined secondary
excitation characteristic and secondary winding resistance, this is sufficient to allow an
assessment of its transient performance. Transient CT errors are caused by CT saturation e.g.
due to high currents flowing at times of through faults. Where CT saturation conditions are
different in each CT this will cause differential current to flow in the CT secondary circuit
wiring. The highest level of differential current will flow when one set of CTs is fully
saturated, providing zero output and all other CTs transform normally. When fully saturated
the CT secondary provides no current and it behaves as a resistance in the secondary circuit.
Differential current in the secondary circuit will flow either through this „resistance‟ or
through the relay. A „stabilising‟ resistance is added in series with the relay input to ensure
that the operate voltage at the current setting is greater than the maximum voltage which can
appear across the element/stabilising resistor during the maximum assigned through fault
current. It is assumed that any earthing resistor can become short-circuit.
The maximum voltage that can appear across the relay circuit can be determined by a
simple calculation which makes the following assumptions:
One current transformer is fully saturated making its excitation current negligible. The
remaining current transformers maintain their ratio.
The resistance of the secondary winding of the saturated CT together with the leads
connecting it to the relay circuit terminals constitutes the only burden in parallel with the
relay.
The minimum required relay operates voltage setting (Vs) is given by:
Vs ≥ If (RCT+RL) x T
To ensure high speed relay operation, the relay circuit operating voltage should be selected in
accordance with the stability requirement as given in above equation. Also, the operate
voltage should not exceed 0.5 x CT knee point voltage (Vk).
VS ≤ Vk /2
Vk = 2Vs
The exciting current to be drawn by the current transformer at the relay stability voltage Vs
will be
Ie < ( Is - Ir ) / n
REF menu of the Aegis relay can be configured with required differential current
setting. Typically it would be set to give primary operating current of either 30% of minimum
earth fault level for resistance earthed system or 10 to 60% of rated current for solidly earthed
system.
Required primary operating current, typically 10-25% of protected winding rated current or
as specified by the user.
The minimum required relay operates voltage setting (Vs) is given by:
Vs ≥ If (RCT+RL)
CT Details:
Voltage Knee point (Vk): 120V
Magnetising Current (Imag): 30mA
CT secondary resistance (RCT) 2.5 Ohms
CT lead loop resistance (RL) 0.15 Ohms max.
Vs ≥ 13.46 x ( 2.5+0.15)
Vs = 35.67V
Required relay setting (Is) can be calculated from primary operating current =(3Imag + Is) / T

Say Provisional relay circuit setting voltage = 120V (from 102.96V ≤ Vs ≤ 150V), at
120V Imag= 7mA, and Imag of earth CT = 9mA
Is =0.1-((3 x 0.007) + 0.009) = 0.07A.
2.1.2.6 Applications
High-impedance principle is stable for all types of faults outside the zone of protection.
The stabilization is obtained by a stabilizing resistor in the differential circuit. This method
requires that all the CTs used have a similar magnetizing characteristic, same ratio and
relatively high knee point voltage. CTs on each sides are connected in parallel along with a
relay-measuring branch as shown in figure.
The impedance-based restricted earth-fault protection is used for the restricted earth-
fault protection of power transformers. Restricted earth fault protection can be applied to
either or both windings of the transformer.
The zone of REF protection is defined by the position of the CTs and/or the transformer
winding. REF protection provides a low operate current (fault setting) for in zone earth faults
and stability during external faults. The restricted earth-fault protection relay is connected
across each directly or to low-ohmic earthed transformer winding. If the same CTs are
connected to relay for current other protection, separate cores are to be used.
REF is more sensitive than overall biased differential protection (87BD) to earth faults it
can protect against faults for a greater portion of the transformer windings or where the
impedance in the earth fault path is relatively high. For a solidly earthed star winding, the
REF function is roughly twice as sensitive in detecting a winding earth fault, than biased
differential protection.

Figure shows the functional block diagram for overcurrent protection – IDMT Stage, &
each block has been described below:
If injected current is 5% above the set threshold, this stage picks up, and an Alarm Signal
is issued by the device. This current is known as pickup current. This signal is also made
available directly to the user for use in Logic in the ConAegis Relay Communication
Software. The Blocking Signal can be controlled by a binary input (BI), a virtual input
(VI), or an internal signal of the IED program. The protection function may be disabled
on activation of a BI or VI. Also, the protection may be blocked if 2nd harmonic is
detected. This can be done by configuring 51 If2>ACT setting.
When comparing an injected value against pickup value, some amount of hysteresis is to
be considered to avoid oscillations/ fluctuations near equilibrium condition. To achieve
precise decision making in this case, a pick up current and a dropout current is defined
above and below the set threshold in the Configuration Menu, which is typically 95% to
105%. In case of DT operation, as soon as the Alarm Signal is issued, an added feature
of Reset DT Timer comes into picture, and its value corresponds to the minimum time
during which the current value needs to be lower than 95% of the phase threshold to
dropout, or higher than 105% of the phase threshold to pickup, before the corresponding
phase time delay is reset. This delay can be set in the 51 RST DT setting.
At the same instant at which Trip Signal is issued, a fault record is also time stamped
and its details can be viewed in the FL-R menu, wherein the timings & causes of the
tripping can be found out. Alarming and tripping is indicated by the dedicated LEDs on
the front panel of the device. The user can assign any of the LEDs 5-16 to indicate pickup
or trip in any of the phases from Config LED setting. Also, the BIs for pickup and trip in
any of the phases can be mapped to the BOs from Config S/W BI setting.
The High Set Stage of Aegis Transformer Protection Relay has DT Characteristic of
variable time operation with respect to the fault current. Figure shows the functional block

Further, according to the DT curve, the device operates after predefined time in 50 DT
setting, when current exceeds its pickup value. Here, the operational time is constant,
irrespective of the magnitude of the current. When the timer has reached the value of DT
delay in the DT mode or the maximum value defined by the inverse time curve, Trip

operation respectively.
Setting Guidelines
For calculation of pick up current and time setting co-ordination, standard principles
should be applied. The following setting calculation example describes how the settings can
be configured in the relay.
Before configuring the current setting, ensure that the entered CT ratio is correct. Aegis
relay allows the pickup current setting in the percentage of In, where In is either CT
secondary or primary, depending on what we consider during the calculation. Assume that
the parameters mentioned below are feeding power to power transformer.
Hence, the required setting in terms of secondary will be 0.95A, i.e. 95%, and in terms of
primary 190A, i.e. (190/200) *100 = 95%
Inverse Definite Minimum Time (IDMT) and definite time characteristics need to be
selected with TMS value or DT operate time, depending on the network co-ordination with
upstream and downstream relay.
2.2.1.7 Applications
Non directional overcurrent protection is used to clear three phase overload and short-
circuit faults of power system with Inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) characteristic and
definite time (DT) for fast and selective operation. User can select this characteristic with
minimum pick up current level. To operate the overcurrent protection, the current should be
above the pick-up level. If current exceeds the pick-up level, relay will operate and generate
the tripping signal with LED indication and output contact configuration.

This function can be enabled by configuring the 51N PROT setting to ENABLE. A
threshold can be defined using 51N SET, ranging from 5% to 250% of the rated current.
The earth current IN is calculated as a sum of three phase current & is sensed and
compared with the threshold value by the comparator, wherein, there are two possible
cases:
If injected earth current is 5% above the set threshold, this stage picks up, and an Alarm
Signal is issued by the device. This current is known as pickup current. This signal is also

Further, according to the type of time - current characteristics chosen in 51N CURVE
setting (IDMT / DT), the timer block calculates the delay according to the respective
equations. When IDMT curves are selected, the operation time characteristics are defined
by the type of the curve, 51N CURVE, and the Time Multiplier Setting, 51N TMS. If DT
curve is chosen, relay operates after definite time configured in 51N DT setting, when
current exceeds its pickup value. Here, the operational time is constant, irrespective of the
magnitude of the current. When the timer has reached the value of DT delay in the DT
mode or the maximum value defined by the inverse time curve, Trip Signal is issued by
the device.

Setting Guidelines
In derived earth fault protection, earth fault current value is calculated internally based on
phase current input of all phases. For pick up settings, standard principle should be applied.
The recommended earth fault setting is10-20% of In.
2.2.2.7 Applications
Earth fault protection is used to protect distribution system and sub transmission system
against fault involving ground. Earth faults pose a potential safety risk to personnel and an
earth fault, if undetected, can cause serious damage to costly equipment. The function of
earth fault protection is to detect the earth fault and give the tripping signal to breaker, when
the fault occurs. Earth fault occurs when energized conductor comes in contact with ground
and return path of fault current is through the grounding system. Typically, earth faults are
single line to ground fault or double line to ground fault. If clearance between phases to earth
is below the required clearance or loss of insulation between live conductor and ground, earth
fault protection operates. It also applies to solidly earthed networks and earth fault protection
of different equipment connected to power system.
Earth faults are nothing but overcurrent faults, where fault current flows to earth. This
is the most commonly occurring fault, and is hence covered by all the protection devices.
Earth fault protection is used to detect earth faults in low impedance earthed networks.

This function can be enabled by configuring the 51G PROT setting to ENABLE. A
threshold can be defined using 51G SET, ranging from 5% to 250% of the rated current.
The earth current Ig measured from the dedicated analog input is sensed and compared
with the threshold value by the comparator, wherein, there are two possible cases:
If injected earth current is 5% above the set threshold, this stage picks up, and an Alarm
Signal is issued by the device. This current is known as pickup current. This signal is also
made available directly to the user for use in Logic in the ConAegis Relay
Communication Software. The Blocking Signal can be controlled by a binary input
(BI), a virtual input (VI), or an internal signal of the IED program. The protection
function may be disabled on activation of a BI or VI. Also, the protection may be blocked
if 2nd harmonic is detected. This can be done by configuring 51G If2>ACT setting.
Further, according to the type of time - current characteristics chosen in 51G CURVE
setting (IDMT / DT), the timer block calculates the delay according to the respective
equations. When IDMT curves are selected, the operation time characteristics are defined
by the type of the curve, 51G CURVE, and the Time Multiplier Setting, 51G TMS. If
DT curve is chosen, relay operates after definite time configured in 51G DT setting, when
current exceeds its pickup value. Here, the operational time is constant, irrespective of the
magnitude of the current. When the timer has reached the value of DT delay in the DT
mode or the maximum value defined by the inverse time curve, Trip Signal is issued by
the device.
When comparing an injected value against pickup value, some amount of hysteresis is to
be considered to avoid oscillations/ fluctuations near equilibrium condition. To achieve
precise decision making in this case, a pick up current and a dropout current is defined
above and below the set threshold in the Configuration Menu, which is typically 95% to
105%. In case of DT operation, as soon as the Alarm Signal is issued, an added feature
of Reset DT Timer comes into picture, and its value corresponds to the minimum time
during which the current value needs to be lower than 95% of the phase threshold to
dropout, or higher than 105% of the phase threshold to pickup, before the corresponding
phase time delay is reset. This delay can be set in the 51G RST DT setting.
At the same instant at which Trip Signal is issued, a fault record is also time stamped
and its details can be viewed in the FL-R menu, wherein the timings & causes of the
tripping can be found out. Alarming and tripping is indicated by the dedicated LEDs on

This function can be enabled by configuring the 50G PROT setting to ENABLE. A

The earth current Ig measured from the dedicated analog input is sensed and compared

Signal is issued by the device. This current is known as pickup current. This signal is also
made available directly to the user for use in Logic in the ConAegis Relay
Communication Software. The Blocking Signal can be controlled by a binary input
(BI), a virtual input (VI), or an internal signal of the IED program. The protection
function may be disabled on activation of a BI or VI. Also, the protection may be blocked
if 2nd harmonic is detected. This can be done by configuring 50G If2>ACT setting.
Further, according to the DT curve, the device operates after predefined time in 50G DT
setting, when current exceeds its pickup value. Here, the operational time is constant,
irrespective of the magnitude of the current. When the timer has reached the value of DT
delay in the DT mode or the maximum value defined by the inverse time curve, Trip
Signal is issued by the device.
When comparing an injected value against pickup value, some amount of hysteresis is to
be considered to avoid oscillations/ fluctuations near equilibrium condition. To achieve
precise decision making in this case, a pick up and a dropout current is defined above and
below the set threshold in the Configuration Menu, which is typically 95% to 105%.
At the same instant at which Trip Signal is issued, a fault record is also time stamped
and its details can be viewed in the FL-R menu, wherein the timings & causes of the
tripping can be found out. Alarming and tripping is indicated by the dedicated LEDs on
the front panel of the device. The user can assign any of the LEDs 5-16 to indicate pickup
or trip in any of the phases from Config LED setting. Also, the BIs for pickup and trip in
any of the phases can be mapped to the BOs from Config S/W BI setting.
The measured earth-fault protection supports both DT and IDMT characteristics. The
device provides 11 IDMT characteristics curves, complying with ANSI, IEC & IAC
standards. The following table gives the standard IDMT characteristics for measured earth-

Setting Guidelines
For the Earth-fault relay setting calculations, standard principle should be applied in
calculating the necessary current and time setting. A recommended earth fault setting is 20%
of In.
Consider a 2.5 MVA, 11kV / 3.3kV transformer and CTR 500/5. The full load
secondary current of 2.5MVA transformer will be:
The earth fault relay should not pick up for unbalance current 20% of 437A =87.47 A.
Hence, choose a pick up value 100A. Now, the relay will pick up at 100 × 5 / 500 = 1A.
Time setting should be set as per coordination with other relays.
2.2.3.7 Applications
Earth fault protection is used to protect distribution system and sub transmission system
against fault involving ground. Earth faults pose a potential safety risk to personnel and an
earth fault, if undetected, can cause serious damage to costly equipment. The function of
earth fault protection is to detect the earth fault and give the tripping signal to breaker, when
the fault occurs. Earth fault occurs when energized conductor comes in contact with ground
and return path of fault current is through the grounding system. Typically, earth faults are
single line to ground fault or double line to ground fault. If clearance between phases to earth
is below the required clearance or loss of insulation between live conductor and ground, earth
fault protection operates. It also applies to solidly earthed networks and earth fault protection
of different equipment connected to power system.
Any unbalance fault condition produces negative phase sequence current of some
magnitude which could not be previously identified by the traditional phase overcurrent as
well as the residual overcurrent protection techniques. This can be now achieved by the
Negative phase sequence overcurrent protection element. A negative phase sequence element
can operate for both phase and earth faults. This kind of protection gives greater sensitivity
compared overcurrent and earth fault protection elements.
The protection measures the fundamental frequency component of the negative phase
sequence current I2. Whenever this value exceeds the predefined threshold of a particular
stage, that stage picks up and an Alarm Signal is issued. If the fault situation persists for
longer than the estimated trip time configured in the relay, a Trip Signal is issued.

definite delay value to its minimum, an instantaneous operation is obtained, also known as

case of DT operation, as soon as the Alarm Signal is issued, an added feature of Reset
DT Timer comes into picture, and its value corresponds to the minimum time during
which the current value needs to be lower than 95% of the phase threshold to dropout, or
higher than 105% of the phase threshold to pickup, before the corresponding phase time
delay is reset. This delay can be set in the 46 RST DT setting.
At the same instant at which Trip Signal is issued, a fault record is also time stamped
and its details can be viewed in the FL-R menu, wherein the timings & causes of the

This function can be enabled by configuring the 46HV PROT setting to ENABLE. A
threshold can be defined using 46HV SET, ranging from 5% to 400% of the rated
current. The negative phase sequence current I2 is sensed and compared with the
threshold value by the comparator, wherein, there are two possible cases:

Setting Guidelines
The negative phase sequence overcurrent protection does not respond to balanced load
or three-phase faults. The pickup value for negative sequence overcurrent protection is the
maximum expected negative sequence current value during normal condition of the system.
IDMT characteristic or definite time (DT) can be selected as per time network co-ordination.
2.2.4.7 Applications
Negative sequence overcurrent protection does not respond to balanced condition of the
system, and thus can be set to operate faster and more sensitive than the phase overcurrent
protection for phase to phase faults on distribution system. Phase overcurrent elements must
be set above the load current and therefore are less sensitive to phase to phase fault.
Negative-sequence currents can arise whenever any system unbalance is present.

Setting Guidelines
Thermal overload setting is expressed as a multiple of the relay nominal current and it
is the value of current above which 100% of thermal capacity will be reached after a period
of time. This setting should be set to 110% of the secondary current flowing when the
transformer is at its full rating and on its minimum voltage tap position.
2.2.5.7 Applications
Transformer overheating can be caused due to failures of the cooling system, external
faults that are not clear promptly, overload and abnormal system conditions. These abnormal
conditions include low frequency, high voltage, non-sinusoidal load current, or phase-voltage
unbalance. Overheating shortens the life of the transformer insulation in proportion to the
duration and magnitude of the high temperature. Overheating can generate gases that could
result in electrical failure. Thermal protection is provided to supplement the Winding
Temperature device. This function provides a general overload thermal protection i.e. not a
winding hot spot protection.
Drop in current beneath the defined level this indicates a low load or CB open
condition. It may also be possible that no current is flowing. The undercurrent function can
be used as a fault current check i.e. that no fault current continues to flow, or as a check that a
CB has opened. This can be used in addition to or in place of CB auxiliary switch indications.
The device measures the fundamental frequency components of the phase currents and
is sensitive for the lowest of the three phase currents. Whenever smallest of the phase
currents drops below predefined threshold of a particular stage, that stage picks up and an
Alarm Signal is issued. If the fault situation persists for longer than the estimated trip time
configured in the relay, a Trip Signal is issued.

Similarly, the settings & status of pickup & trip signals for both the stages of LV

Setting Guidelines
For undercurrent protection, minimum under current Set value to be selected with
definite time. This value is to be selected by considering minimum load of the system. Igrd
setting is the minimum current value during the under current condition. If the under current
goes below the Igrd value, function will not operate.
2.2.6.6 Applications
Under current protection function operates when the current decreases below the pre-
determined value. It is based on the phase current measurement. Under current condition
indicates low load or CB open condition. It can also be used to indicate that no current is
flowing.
Overvoltage conditions are generally related to loss of load conditions, where the
supply voltage is increased in magnitude. Abnormally high voltages often occur in low
loaded, long distance transmission lines, in islanded systems when generator voltage
regulation fails, or after full load rejection of a generator from the system.

Setting Guidelines
Two over voltage protection stages are provided in Aegis relay. First stage can be used
with IDMT characteristics, and stage two used for instant tripping in definite time (DT). For
first stage pick up setting, set value should be set just above the maximum expected voltage.
Recommended pick up setting for first stage with prolonged time using IDMT curves is in the
range of 110% to 115% of nominal system voltage. To enable over voltage protection it is
necessary to select the VT type as PH-VT.
2.3.1.7 Applications
Over voltage occurs in the network because of transient surges on the network or due to
power frequency over voltage. To protect the power transformer from the transient over
voltage, surge arresters are used, and for protection against power frequency over voltage,
protection relays are used. Over voltage protection is used to protect the network elements
like power transformers, generator, motor, insulator etc. from high voltage. Power frequency
over voltage occurs in the network due to switching of circuit breaker, sudden variation of
load or sudden loss of load, defective operation of automatic voltage regulator. Over voltage
of sufficient magnitude causes insulation breakdown of equipment and protective devices.
This condition could cause overheating of power system elements, reduction of product
lifetime and destruction of equipment. For over voltage protection delta connected VT input
is required to relay.
Under voltage conditions may occur on a power system for a variety of reasons and is
mostly related to increased loads, where the supply voltage decreases in magnitude. This
situation would normally be rectified by voltage regulating equipment. However, if the
regulating equipment proves to be unsuccessful in restoring healthy system voltage, tripping
by means of an under voltage element is required.
The device measures line to line voltages, and whenever the smallest of them drops
below predefined threshold of a particular stage, that stage picks up and an Alarm Signal is
issued. If the fault situation persists for longer than the estimated trip time configured in the
relay, a Trip Signal is issued.

Figure shows the functional block diagram for under voltage protection – IDMT Stage,
& each block has been described below:
If injected voltage is 5% below the set threshold, this stage picks up, and an Alarm
Signal is issued by the device. This current is known as pickup voltage. This signal is also
made available directly to the user for use in Logic in the ConAegis Relay
Communication Software. The Blocking Signal can be controlled by a binary input
(BI), a virtual input (VI), or an internal signal of the IED program. The protection
function may be disabled on activation of a BI or VI.
When comparing an injected value against pickup value, some amount of hysteresis is to
be considered to avoid oscillations/ fluctuations near equilibrium condition. To achieve
precise decision making in this case, a pick up and a dropout current is defined above and
below the set threshold in the Configuration Menu, which is typically 95% to 105%.
In some situations, the user may not want the under voltage protection to operate. When
the circuit breaker is opened, or the protected feeder is de-energised, an under voltage
condition would be definitely detected, but we would not want to start protection. Hence,
a 27 UV Grd setting is given. Below this voltage, the protection function will be blocked
and won‟t operate.
At the same instant at which Trip Signal is issued, a fault record is also time stamped
and its details can be viewed in the FL-R menu, wherein the timings & causes of the

The High Set Stage of Aegis Transformer Protection Relay has DT Characteristic of
variable time operation. Figure shows the functional block diagram for over voltage

This function can be enabled by configuring the 27HS PROT setting to ENABLE. A
threshold can be defined using 27HS SET, ranging from 25% to 50% of the rated
voltage. The voltage is sensed and compared with the threshold value by the comparator,
wherein, there are two possible cases:
If injected voltage is 5% below the set threshold, this stage picks up, and an Alarm

Further, according to the DT curve, the device operates after predefined time in 3U<<

voltage. When the timer has reached the value of DT delay in the DT mode or the
maximum value defined by the inverse time curve, Trip Signal is issued by the device.

Setting Guidelines
Under voltage protection set value should be configured below the minimum expected
system voltage. This minimum expected system voltage should be at normal system
operating condition. In healthy system, the minimum expected voltage may be in order of
10% of nominal value. During the loss of voltage condition, the outgoing circuit is required
to isolate from the system. We can set the minimum voltage required to operate this
protection in the system during fault condition. Here, no volt protection can be used, for
which UV Grd set value is to be selected. IDMT or DT time characteristic can be selected as
per time coordination.
2.3.2.7 Applications
Under voltage protection is used to detect the under voltage condition of power system
and to isolate the costly equipment like Power transformer, generator, motor and power lines
from the power system. Under voltages could cause overheating of this equipment and thus
shorten their life and expectancy. Under voltage protection applied to generator, motor,
transformer and power lines.
Due to occurrence of earth fault on the primary system, the balance of three-phase
power system gets disturbed producing a residual voltage. This circumstance causes a rise in
the neutral voltage with respect to earth. Therefore, this protection is also commonly referred
to as 'Neutral Voltage Displacement'. Voltage Setting applied to the protection elements is
dependent on the magnitude of the residual voltage that is expected to occur during the fault
conditions.

Further, according to the type of IDMT characteristics chosen in Uo> CURVE setting
(IDMT / DT), the timer block calculates the delay according to the respective equations.
When IDMT curves are selected, the operation time characteristics are defined by the
type of the curve, Uo> CURVE, and the Time Multiplier Setting, Uo> TMS. If DT curve
is chosen, relay operates after definite time configured in Uo> DT setting, when voltage

case of DT operation, as soon as the Alarm Signal is issued, an added feature of Reset
DT Timer comes into picture, and its value corresponds to the minimum time during
which the current value needs to be lower than 95% of the phase threshold to dropout, or
higher than 105% of the phase threshold to pickup, before the corresponding phase time

Setting Guidelines
Neutral voltage picks up setting depending on the expected residual voltage during the
earth fault condition and earthing system. It must also ensure that the relay is set above any
standing level of residual voltage that is present on the system to avoid unnecessary tripping.
In configuration, the selected VT type must be NDR VT. If not selected, the user can‟t use
this protection. We can select IDMT characteristic with TMS values for time selectivity.
2.3.3.7 Applications
Neutral displacement (residual overvoltage) relay is used to protect the network from
earth fault using neutral displacement which occurs in the neutral voltage, when earth fault
take place. Residual voltage could be measured at secondary terminal connected in broken
delta connection of voltage transformer. Therefore neutral displacement protection relay can
be used for earth fault detection. Residual voltage also can be measured from single phase
voltage transformer connected to transformer star point and earth.
Neutral voltage increase in case of any fault connected to earth, highest neutral voltage
equal to phase-earth voltage is achieved for single phase earth fault. The value of neutral
voltage is depending on fault type and fault resistance. Increased neutral voltage will affect
on the whole system and does not providing any guidance in finding the faulty component.
Therefore this function is used as back up protection.
The system frequency may increase when there is a sudden loss of load due to tripping
of an outgoing feeder from the plant to a load centre. It is therefore essential to provide
protection for such over frequency conditions.
Whenever the frequency exceeds a predefined threshold of a particular stage, that stage
picks up and an Alarm Signal is issued. If the fault situation persists for longer than the
estimated trip time configured in the relay, a Trip Signal is issued.

Further, according to the DT curve, the device operates after predefined time in 81 DT
setting, when frequency exceeds its pickup value. Here, the operational time is constant,
irrespective of the magnitude of the frequency. When the timer has reached the value of
DT delay in the DT mode or the maximum value defined by the DT, Trip Signal is

Also, a under voltage guard 81 GRD SET setting is provided. Below this voltage, the

Setting Guidelines
Excess generation of the power or sudden loss of the load condition means generation
exceed the existing load will be subjected to over frequency condition. The generator speeds
will increase causing a proportional frequency rise. This may be unacceptable to industrial
loads, for example, where the running speeds of synchronous motors will be affected. Four
stages of over frequency protection have been provided in the relay with minimum guard
voltage setting to operate the over frequency protection.
2.3.4.5 Applications
Due to sudden loss of load, the generator speeds will increase causing a proportional
frequency rise. This may be unacceptable to industrial load, for example, where the running
speeds of synchronous motors will be affected. Over frequency could happen, for instance,
when there is a sudden loss of load due to tripping of an outgoing feeder from the plant to a
load centre. Under such over speed conditions, the governor should respond quickly to obtain
a balance between the mechanical input and electrical output, thereby restoring normal
frequency. Over frequency protection is required as a backup to cater for slow response of
frequency control equipment.
A drop in system frequency implies that the net load is in excess of the available
generation. Such a condition arises, when an interconnected system splits, and the load left
connected to one of the subsystems is in excess of the capacity of the generators in that
particular subsystem. Industrial plants that are dependent on utilities to supply part of their
loads will experience under frequency conditions when the incoming lines are lost. Sustained
under frequency has implications on the stability of the system, whereby any subsequent
disturbance may damage equipment and even lead to blackouts. It is therefore essential to
provide protection for under frequency conditions.
Whenever the frequency drops below predefined threshold of a particular stage, that
stage picks up and an Alarm Signal is issued. If the fault situation persists for longer than the
estimated trip time configured in the relay, a Trip Signal is issued.

also be configured through the ConAegis Relay Communication Software.

or trip in any of the phases from Config LED setting. Also, the BIs for pickup and trip in
any of the phases can be mapped to the BOs from Config S/W BI setting.
The following table gives functioning and ranges for each of the settings in UFRQ

The above settings and their ranges are similar for the other stages. All of these settings
can be configured from ConAegis Relay Communication Software (Refer Section ). The
following table gives description of various pickup & trip signals for both the stages of Under
Frequency Protection. LEDs can be assigned to indicate these signals and BIs for pickup and
trip in any of the phases can be mapped to the BOs.
Setting Guidelines
Two stages of under frequency protection have been provided in the relay with definite
time setting. Under frequency set value is to be selected by considering the plant load, or loss
of main supply. Load shedding scheme can be used to reduce the effect of under frequency
protection. Plant load is to be divided into the priority based group. If the frequency of the
system reduces from the nominal system frequency load group of the system are
disconnected as per the load priority basis. Load shedding depends on the power generation,
if load is too small compared to prevailing generation deficiency, the improvement in the
frequency may be nonexistent, this should be considered during the load group forming.
Typically, a 10% under frequency condition should be continuously sustainable. The
frequency pick up setting and definite time for each stage should be selected with minimum
guard voltage set value to operate the under frequency protection during the under frequency
condition of the system.
2.3.5.5 Applications
During normal system operation the frequency will continuously vary over a relatively
small range due to the changing generation/load balance. Generation and utilization need to
be well balanced in any industrial, distribution or transmission network. As load increases,
the generation needs to be stepped up to maintain frequency of the supply because there are
many frequency-sensitive electrical apparatus that can be damaged when network frequency
departs from the allowed band for safe operation. At times, when sudden overloads occur, the
frequency drops at a rate decided by the system inertia constant, magnitude of overload,
system damping constant and various other parameters. Unless corrective measures are taken
at the appropriate time, frequency decay can go beyond the point of no return and cause
widespread network collapse. This can result in “Blackouts”. To put the network back in
healthy condition, a considerable amount of time and effort is required to resynchronize and
re-energize. Protective relays that can detect a low frequency condition are generally used in
such cases to disconnect unimportant loads to save the network, by re-establishing the
“generation-load equation”. However, with such devices, the action is initiated only after the
event and while some salvaging of the situation can be achieved, this form of corrective
action may not be effective enough and cannot cope with sudden load increases, causing
large frequency decays in very short times. In such cases a device that can anticipate the
severity of frequency decay and act to disconnect loads before the frequency actually reaches
dangerously low levels, can become very effective in containing damage.
In the situation where the system frequency is falling rapidly it is common practice to
disconnect non-essential loads until the generation-load balance can be restored. Usually,
automatic load shedding, based on under frequency is implemented. Under frequency relays
are usually installed on the transformer incomers of distribution or industrial substations as
this provides a convenient position from which to monitor the busbar frequency. Loads are
disconnected (shed) from the busbar in stages until the frequency stabilizes and returns to an
acceptable level.
Magnetic flux in the transformer core is directly proportional to the voltage and
inversely proportional to the frequency. Higher the V/f ratio, the greater is the magnetizing
current that might to heating and insulation failure. The over fluxing protection function
detects high flux level in the iron core of transformers as caused by a voltage increase or a
frequency decrease, or both.
The device measures the fundamental frequency components of voltage & calculates
voltage to frequency ratio. Whenever this value exceeds the predefined threshold of a
particular stage, that stage picks up and an Alarm Signal is issued. If the fault situation
persists for longer than the estimated trip time configured in the relay, a Trip Signal is
issued.

Setting Guidelines
In over fluxing protection, the user needs to set the V/Hz ratio. The pick up for the over
fluxing elements depends on the nominal core flux density levels. Generator transformers are
generally run at higher flux densities than transmission and Distribution transformers, so they
require a pick up setting and shorter tripping times which reflect this. Transmission
transformers can also be at risk from over fluxing conditions and withstand levels should be
consulted when deciding on the required settings. Over excitation of a transformer can occur
whenever the ratio of per unit voltage to per unit frequency (V/Hz) at the secondary terminals
of a transformer exceeds its set value or rating, function operates with time characteristic
selection. The element is set in terms of the actual ratio of voltage to frequency; the over
fluxing threshold setting, V/Hz>x Trip Set.
2.3.6.7 Applications
Over fluxing protection is used to protect power transformer form excessive flux,
excessive flux can cause transformer core saturation and some of the flux will radiate as
leakage flux through the transformer tank. This leakage flux causes eddy currents and the I2R
losses from these currents heat the transformer tank and can cause overheating. Over fluxing
or over excitation occurs if the ratio of voltage to frequency exceed certain limit. Low
frequency or high voltage causing rise in the voltage to frequency ratio will produce high flux
densities in the magnetic core of the transformer.
For momentary system disturbances can cause transient over fluxing that is not
dangerous, time delayed tripping is required. The normal protection is an IDMT or definite
time characteristic, initiated if a defined V/f threshold is exceeded. Often separate alarm and
trip elements are provided. The alarm function would be definite time-delayed and the trip
function would be an IDMT characteristic. Over fluxing protection is provided in the aegis
relay with two stages, both stages can be set DT or IDMT curve setting.
The operation of circuit breaker is vital to isolate the fault or at least limit the damage to
the power system. After protection function generates a trip command, it is expected that the
circuit breaker opens and/or the fault current drops below the pre-defined normal level. But if
the fault does not disappear within a given time after the initial trip command, circuit breaker
failure protection can be used to trip any upstream circuit breaker (CB). CBF protection
monitors the circuit breaker and establishes whether it has opened within a reasonable time. If
the fault current has not been interrupted following a set time delay from circuit breaker trip
initiation, the CBF protection will operate, whereby the upstream circuit breakers are tripped
to ensure that the fault is isolated.

The settings for circuit breaker failure protection can be found in BREAKER
FAILURE submenu of the SUPR Settings menu in the device. Aegis Transformer
Protection Relay provides two stages circuit breaker failure protection stage for either or both
the windings, which always operates with a definite time (DT) operation characteristic. The
circuit breaker failure function can be activated by trip commands from the overcurrent or
earth-fault functions. The operating values of the current measuring elements can be set
within a predefined setting range. The various settings for each stage can also be configured
through the ConAegis Relay Communication Software.
Figure shows the functional block diagram for circuit breaker failure protection, & each
block has been described below:
The dedicated comparators again compare the three phase quantities / earth current with
the set thresholds 50BF OC & 50BF EF respectively, in presence of the fault current.
The breaker failure can be detected either by persistent fault current in winding HV or
LV, or on activation of a BI or as a combination of both current & BI, as selected in 50
BF Mode setting. If breaker failure is to be detected on presence of fault current, this
setting monitors the fault in the selected winding mode. If breaker failure is to be detected
on activation of BI, the user must assign a BI for this purpose in the TRIP BI setting in
the CONF Menu. However, the user must note that if a BI is not assigned in the TRIP BI
setting and the user chooses to detect breaker failure on BI, this may lead to an
undesirable / erroneous end result as the intended operation will not be performed.
The breaker failure protection function must be enabled by configuring the 50BF PROT
setting to ENABLE. If the CB is closed and, any of the measured current exceeds the set
threshold, this stage picks up. Further, according to the DT curve, the device operates
after predefined time in 50BF DT setting. When the timer has reached the value of
maximum value defined by the DT, Trip Signal is issued by the device.
The user can assign any of the LEDs 5-16 to indicate these trip signals from Config LED

BI setting.
The following table gives functioning and ranges for each of the settings for circuit
breaker failure protection found in BREAKER FAIL submenu of the SUPR Settings menu
in the device. These settings are same for both the stages.
The following table gives description of pickup & trip signals for Broken Conductor
Detection Protection. LEDs can be assigned to indicate these signals and BIs for trip signals
can be mapped to the available BOs.
Setting Guidelines
Breaker failure protection can be enable or disable from the breaker fail menu, with
minimum fault current level to check after breaker trip command issued by the relay with
definite time setting of function operation. Breaker fail detection mode can be selected from
the 50BF menu of the relay. If detection mode is binary input then trip BI to be configured in
the confirmation Menu.
2.4.1.5 Applications
Breaker failure protection is used in the design of fault clearance system. Where a
circuit breaker fails to operate to clear fault current the power system will remain in a
hazardous state until the fault is cleared by remote or back-up protections. To minimize any
delay, circuit breaker Failure protection provides a signal to back-trip the next „upstream‟
circuit breaker. The detection of breaker failure is made by measuring the current or by
detecting trip BI status after issuing trip command from the relay.
The trip circuit supervision function is designed to supervise the control circuit of the
circuit breaker. The invalidity of a control circuit is detected by using a dedicated output
contact that contains the supervision functionality. Whenever a trip circuit failure, i.e.
unhealthy condition occurs, the device operates the assigned contacts after the predefined
time.
2.4.2.1 Identification
2.4.2.2 Functionality
The settings for trip circuit supervision function can be found in TCS submenu of the
SUPR Settings menu in the device, & the function always operates with a definite time (DT)
characteristic. The trip circuit supervision function is activated by the dedicated BI. The
various settings for each stage can also be configured through the ConAegis Relay
Communication Software.
Figure shows the functional block diagram for trip circuit supervision function, & each
block has been described below:
This function can be enabled by configuring the TCS PROT setting to ENABLE. A
binary input is to be selected in TCS BI setting in the Configuration menu. The BI is
connected to the trip circuit such that it is energized when the trip circuit wiring is intact.
This condition is termed as “trip circuit healthy” condition.
If the BI becomes de-energized due to a break in the trip circuit wiring or loss of supply,
a binary output (BO) is activated. This condition is termed as “trip circuit unhealthy”
condition. The TCS DT setting prevents this failure being incorrectly indicated during
circuit breaker operation. This delay should be greater than the operating time of the
circuit breaker.
The following table gives functioning and ranges for each of the settings for circuit trip
circuit supervision function found in TCS submenu of the SUPR Settings menu in the
device. These settings are same for both the stages.
Setting Guidelines
For trip circuit supervision BI to be programmed in the configuration menu 'TCS BI’ of
the relay, assigned BI will work for TCS. During the breaker operation assigned BI will holds
pick up condition for defined time in the relay, recommended time setting is 0.5Sec. LED
and two BO can be configured for trip circuit supervision.
2.4.2.5 Applications
Trip circuit supervision is used for continuous monitoring of tripping circuit of circuit
breaker. Trip circuit supervision function is used for both Open and Close condition of circuit
breaker. In protection system trip circuit of breaker is important because, if trip circuit of
breaker is opened somewhere and fault occurs in the network. Fault will not be disconnected
from system because of interruption of trip circuit breaker it has to clear from upstream
breaker. Trip circuit supervision function is particularly important when there is only one
tripping coil.
Trip circuit supervision is designed for continuous supervision of circuit breaker trip
circuit and to give an alarm for loss of auxiliary supply, faults on the trip coil or trip circuit.
Schematic wiring diagram for trip circuit supervision is shown in figure.
The close circuit supervision function is used to monitor different parameters of the
circuit breaker. The invalidity of a control circuit is detected by using a dedicated output
contact that contains the supervision functionality. Whenever a close circuit failure, i.e.
unhealthy condition occurs, the device operates the assigned contacts after the predefined
time.

Section Overview
This section describes the operation of IEC 61850 Communication Protocol for Feeder
Protection Relay. The section contains working description of CGL 61850 IED Configuration
Tool and the Logical Nodes assigned for various operations performed by the relay.
Read and follow the instructions in the Getting Started chapter. This chapter includes
instructions on installing the software. After you install the software, and to see how quick
and easy it is to use this software, CG recommends you to read the entire section. This
document applies to the use of CGL 61850 IED Configuration Tool only with the CG Aegis
Series Protection Relays.
IEC 61850 is an important international standard for the design of electrical substation
automation. IEC 61850 is a part of the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC)
Technical Committee 57 (TC57) reference architecture for electric power systems. The
model-driven approach of the TC57 standards, including IEC61850, is an innovative
approach that requires a new way of thinking about substation automation that will result in
very significant improvements in both costs and performance of electric power systems. The
abstract data models defined in IEC 61850 can be mapped to a number of protocols. Current
mappings in the standard are to MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification), GOOSE,
SMV (Sampled Measured Values), and soon to Web Services. These protocols can run over
TCP/IP networks or substation LANs using high speed switched Ethernet.
The IEC 61850 Standard defines the various aspects of the substation communication
network in 10 major sections as shown in Table 1 below.

4 CONAEGIS RELAY
COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE &
LOGIC
Section Overview
This section describes the operation of Crompton Greaves Ltd™ ConAEGIS v2.0
Relay Communication Software which also includes the Logic Software for Feeder
Protection Relay. This section describes only the Windows version of the Communication
Software. Read and follow the instructions in the Getting Started chapter. This chapter
includes instructions on installing the software. After you install the software, and to see how
quick and easy it is to use this software, CG recommends you to read all of this section. This
document applies to the use of ConAEGIS v2.0 Relay Communication Software only with
the CG Aegis Series Protection Relays.
ConAEGIS is a relay communication software for AEGIS series protection relays. This
software provides a user-friendly graphical interface for making various configurations. The
user does not need to know anything about the model or hardware of the relay being used;
ConAEGIS reads all information directly from the device. Provisions have been made to
download and analyze the disturbance records encountered by the relays. The disturbance
records are saved by using a standard COMTRADE file format. Also, a state-of-the-art
facility of developing a user-defined programmable logic has been provided. ConAEGIS can
save the relay settings as a separate file. This file can be read from the relay and can be
transferred between similar kinds of relays. The file can also be saved to the PC, and can be
loaded back to ConAEGIS software and to the relay.
To get started with the ConAegis Relay Communication Software, simply extract the
.rar file from the CD. After the extraction is completed, you should have the following
executable file in your folder, ConAegis_v2.0.exe.
To launch ConAEGIS software, simply double click on this icon. If the user wishes to
copy / move this executable file to any other location, or to the desktop, please note that the
Support folder extracted along with this .exe file must also be copied / moved to the
respective location.
Connecting the software in Offline Mode: In this mode, the user can configure all the
settings in the relay by selecting the required relay model. All the settings can be then
saved in a file which can be later downloaded in the relay. The procedure to save and
download the file has been described in further sections. To configure the settings in
Offline Mode, click on Offline Mode in the Connection Options setting. Choose the
required relay model from the available options and click on Select. The screen shows
serial number and all the information about the selected device.
Connecting the relay serially: Click on the Serial mode in the Connection Options
setting, and simply plug-in the USB cable to the front panel of the relay and other end to
the serial port of the computer. Select the appropriate Communication Port & Baud
Rate, & Hit Connect. The software will connect to the port which is assigned to the
relay.
If user faces any difficulty in selecting the Communication Port, one can give a tick on the
Auto Synchronize option, which scans the ports automatically, chooses the correct one, and
connects the device to that port.
Once the connection is established, the screen shows the status, that the relay has been
connected, along with the port to which is connected, the Baud rate and the parity. Also, the
screen shows serial number and all the information about the selected device. If any incorrect
setting is done, for eg., communication port or baud rate, the screen shows a error message.
Connecting the relay through Ethernet: Click on the Ethernet mode in the
Connection Options setting, and simply plug-in the Ethernet cable at rear port of the
relay and other end to the Ethernet port of the computer. Enter the IP address assigned to
the relay, and hit Connect.
The tool bar on the main window of the software shows the following functions. Some
of the tools are required only when Logic is to be developed. The function of each menu has
been given below:
Open: This tool allows the user to select the previously saved setting file from the
desired location, which is to be downloaded in the relay.
Save: This tool allows the user to save the settings file to the desired location of the
PC, which can later be downloaded in a different relay.
A tree structure can be seen in the left pane of your screen. This tree shows all the
menus & submenus available in a device, i.e. Connection, Settings, Logic, Graphs,
Measurements, & Reports, in a hierarchical manner. Furthermore, each of the submenus in
the device show a number of settings similar to that in the device, which have been described
in the further sections of the document.
Go to the settings wherein the editable values are to be changed. Consider the settings for
Bias Differential function as shown in the figure.
After you change this setting value from Disable to Enable, & 0.20 to 0.45 in this case,
click on Write tab in the top-left corner of the settings window.
As you click on the icon, an Acknowledgement Window will appear on your screen,
indicating that your settings have been successfully saved.
The above steps are to be performed everytime the user wants to change any of the
settings.
If the user changes any setting from the front panel of the relay, and wants to see the
update in the software, click on the Refresh tab to view the updated values in the
software.
The further chapters explain each of the tools and settings along with the real-time
screenshots so as to simplify the user interface of the software.

4.3 LOGIC
This section guides the user on developing a customized programmable logic, which can
be later downloaded in the relay. This menu can be viewed by clicking on Logic in the tree
structure at the left of your screen. The developed logic can be implemented in the relay only
when the user makes the LOGIC: Enable in Configuration Settings of the relay.
4.3.1 Overview
The motive behind the development of user-programmable logic is to permit the user to
configure any particular protection function as per their need to suit a typical application.
This logic can be developed using programmable logic gates or combinational & sequential
circuits. Logic gates can be programmed to perform a wide assortment of different logic
functions and can accept number of inputs. Input to the gates may be combination of the
status of BI inputs, output of the protection elements, e.g. protection alarms and trip signals,
and the mapping of BI- BO status. Output to the logic gates may be the LEDs and / or the
output contacts. The following sections guide the user on developing new logic as per one‟s
requirement.
When the user clicks on Logic Tab, ConAEGIS reads the existing relay logic and loads
the Logic software.
Figure shows the main window of Logic software, which is divided into following parts.
Toolbar: Provides various file handling and management tools along with their shortcuts
used for interfacing with the relay.
Logic Blocks: Includes all the programmable logic gates, timers, flip-flops, comparators
and the outputs i.e. the LEDs, BOs and VOs.
Workspace Properties: Shows information about the relay which is being configured,
including the type, model number, serial number, and the protection functions it provides.
It gives information about the logic blocks used in the design. Also, it gives the
percentage of the available memory used.
Status Window: Displays the operation being performed in the software currently and
keeps updating itself continuously.
Comments: The user can describe the developed logic or make some comments
regarding current logic under development in this window.
Outline Window: Shows the design as a whole. Useful when zooming and panning.
This chapter gives guidelines in stepwise manner to create, configure, and download the
logic to the relay.
Figure shows a snapshot of the toolbar. To create a new file, Click New in the File menu.
The Workspace Window appears on the screen. The user can also import a previously
compiled logic file by clicking on Import, and further changes can be done to the same
file.
The Logic software detects the connected relay, its type, and model number, and displays
the same in Workspace Properties.
If user selects some other relay model, it is not possible to create a transferable file and
the following warning is displayed on the screen. Also, the Status Window comes up
with the required relay model to be selected.
Logic software provides all the basic gates (AND, OR, NOT), universal gates (NAND,
NOR), and exclusive gates (EX-OR, EX-NOR) with a capability of accepting any number of
inputs. The maximum number of gates that can be added to a design is 64. Along with the
gates, combinational & sequential circuits like timers, comparators & flip-flops with
numerous configurations can also added to the design. The user may select and place any of
the available gates / circuit from the Logic Blocks window.
To place a gate, select the required gate from the window, and the click on Workspace
Window.
Number of inputs to a gate can be selected and added from Gate Properties. This
window shows the name and type of the gate, the number of inputs added, and description
if the user wants to mention it.
The inputs to any gate may be pickup or trip signals of protection functions, software
inputs, binary inputs (BIs), virtual inputs (VIs), common inputs, general inputs, or even
commands like Trip / Close / Reset LED Status. To configure the inputs, select the gate to
which inputs are to be added, mark a tick on the required inputs, and the inputs blocks
will get connected to the gate.
o VI D: Virtual Input Data: This field represents the actual data value of the virtual
input.
o VI Q: Virtual Input Quality: This field represents the quality of the data. If the
intended data is received, the VI quality is termed as Good. If the intended data is not
received due to any mal-operation (communication failure, supply issues or data
corruption due to internal relay failure), the VI quality is termed as Bad.
A single input AND gate can also be configured which can be used as a buffer.
Figure shows a NOT gate placed below the AND gate. To Connect these two gates, place
the mouse cursor near the AND gate output to observe a highlighted green box.
Click in the highlighted box and drag the connector link until you observe another
highlighted green box near the input of NOT gate. Release when the box is highlighted.
The connection is made.
Output from any gate may be LED indicators, binary outputs (BOs), or virtual outputs
(VOs). To configure the outputs, click on Outputs in Logic Gates window and select
LED / BO / VO. The number of LEDs and BOs are available as per the type and
configuration of the relay.
Details about the LED can be seen in Output Properties. The Status Window shows the
current status.
After the logic has been developed, the user can compile it to verify the correctness of the
logic. Click Compile in the Build Menu.
If the logic is error free, the message Compilation Successful appears in Status
Window.
In case of errors in the logic, a Warning symbol flashes in the Workspace Window. A
message Compilation Failed appears in Status Window, with the cause of the error.
If the logic is error free, click Compile and Transfer in the Build menu to transfer the
logic file to the relay.
The logic is recompiled, and the Status Window gives the confirmation that the logic file
has been transferred to the relay.
To minimize data burden, the transferable file only stores the information about logic
diagram (input – outputs, logic gates, connectors), and does not contain any data about
the comments and the placement of the design. So, it is advisable to save the logic file.
To save the developed logic to the system, click Save in the toolbar.
The logic file is saved with a .logic extension at the user defined path.
The functions Import and Export in the File menu of the Toolbar operate similar to the
Open and Save functions respectively.
When the user develops logic and clicks on Export, a Ready to Transfer file with .tlogic
extension is generated. As mentioned above, the file gets directly compiled and can be
transferred to the relay.
Clicking on Import opens the existing Ready to Transfer file with .tlogic extension.
Changes can be made in this file and then be transferred to the relay. Select the file to be
imported and click Open.
In case of larger designs it may not be easy to get a detailed view of all the logic blocks.
To serve this purpose, zooming and panning tools have been provided.
Zoom in and Zoom out setting is available in Toolbar, and panning can be done by
pressing Ctrl + Shift and drag.
The Outline Window shows the full view of the developed logic.
To erase the existing logic in the relay, clear the Workspace Window, and Compile and
Transfer this empty logic to the relay. The relay logic will be erased.

The universal NOR gates are used to form combinational expressions with Boolean
variables. The NOR gate is nothing but an inverted OR gate. The output of NOR gate will be
true / logical „1‟ only when all the inputs to the gate are false / logic „0‟.
The NOR gate can have any number of inputs, which can be configured from the Gate
Properties window as shown above. This window shows the number of inputs connected to
the gate & gives the available options which can be given to the gate as inputs. The window
also shows the percentage of memory consumed by the NOR gate, which is 3.10%.
4.3.3.2 Timers
The Timer Block is used to perform operations of a certain logic which can be
connected as an input or output to it. Logic software provides 4 types of timers which can be
configured to work on positive or negative edge as explained below:
The pulse timer function has a settable pulse time. Once the input is activated, the
output is set for a specific time duration using the Time setting, ranging from 0 to 2000
seconds in the Timer Properties window. This window also gives the available options
which can be given to the timer as an input, & percentage of memory consumed by the timer,
which is 1.50%. The pulse timer can be a positive edge triggered timer or a negative edge
triggered timer.
The following figure shows timing diagram for both, positive and negative edge
triggered pulse timers, where the behavior of the timer (OUT) for positive / rising edge (IN-
R) & negative / falling edge (IN-F) can be observed. A brief description of 4 possible
scenarios is given below:
Case-I: If the input signal picks up at time t0, the pulse timer output OUT will be triggered at
the same rising / falling edge. Once this input is activated, the output is set for a specific
duration t0 + dt using the Time setting (eg. 5s). Even if the input goes low before the set DT
(eg. 2s), the pulse timer output will drop out only after completion of time t0 + dt, which is
5s.
Case-II: If the input signal picks up at time t1, the pulse timer output OUT will be triggered
at the same rising / falling edge. Once this input is activated, the output is set for a specific
duration t1 + dt using the Time setting (eg. 5s). But even if this input is retriggered before
the set DT (eg. at 2s), the pulse timer output will drop out only after completion of time t1 +
dt, which is 5s. This means that it will only consider the first rising / falling edge & will not
follow any retriggering of the input.
Case-III: If the input signal picks up at time t2, the pulse timer output OUT will be triggered
at the same rising / falling edge. Once this input is activated, the output is set for a specific
duration t2+ dt using the Time setting (eg. 5s). If this input continues to remain active even
after completion of the set DT (eg. till 7s), the pulse timer output will follow the input signal
till the time it remains high & drops out when the input signal drops out, i.e. after 7s.
Case-IV: If the input signal picks up at time t3, the pulse timer output OUT will be triggered
at the same rising / falling edge. Once this input is activated, the output is set for a specific
duration t3 + dt using the Time setting (eg. 5s). If this input is retriggered and continues to
remain active even after completion of the set DT (eg. till 7s), the pulse timer output will
follow the input signal, irrespective of the retriggering till the time it remains high & will
drop out when the input signal drops out, i.e. after 7s.
The fixed pulse timer function has a settable pulse time. Once the input is activated, the
output is set for fixed time duration, irrespective of validity of the input signal. This time can
be decided using the Time setting, ranging from 0 to 2000 seconds in the Timer Properties
window. The window also gives the available options which can be given to the timer as an
input, & percentage of memory consumed by the timer, which is 1.50%. The fixed pulse
timer can be a positive edge triggered timer or a negative edge triggered timer.
The following figure shows timing diagram for both, positive and negative edge
triggered fixed pulse timers, where the behavior of the timer (OUT) for positive / rising edge
(IN-R) & negative / falling edge (IN-F) can be observed. A brief description of 3 possible
scenarios is given below:
Case-I: If the input signal picks up at time t0, the fixed pulse timer output OUT will be
triggered at the same rising / falling edge. Once this input is activated, the output is set for a
fixed duration t0 + dt using the Time setting (eg. 5s). Even if the input goes low before the
set DT (eg. 2s), the fixed pulse timer output will drop out only after completion of time t0 +
dt, which is 5s.
Case-II: If the input signal picks up at time t1, the fixed pulse timer output OUT will be
triggered at the same rising / falling edge. Once this input is activated, the output is set for a
fixed duration t1 + dt using the Time setting (eg. 5s). But even if this input is retriggered
before the set DT (eg. at 2s), the fixed pulse timer output will drop out only after completion
of time t1 + dt, which is 5s. This means that it will only consider the first rising / falling edge
& will not follow any retriggering of the input.
Case-III: If the input signal picks up at time t2, the fixed pulse timer output OUT will be
triggered at the same rising / falling edge. Once this input is activated, the output is set for a
fixed duration t2+ dt using the Time setting (eg. 5s). If this input continues to remain active
even after completion of the set DT (eg. till 7s), the fixed pulse timer output will drop out
after completion of time t2 + dt, which is 5s.
The pulse retrigger timer function has a settable pulse time. Once the input is activated,
the output is set for specific time duration. A unique feature of this timer is that it calculates
the DT from the instance retriggered input signal. The output signal remains high for a
specific time duration using the Time setting, ranging from 0 to 2000 seconds in the Timer
Properties window. This window also gives the available options which can be given to the
timer as an input, & percentage of memory consumed by the timer, which is 1.50%. The
pulse retrigger timer can be a positive edge triggered timer or a negative edge triggered timer.
The following figure shows timing diagram for both, positive and negative edge
triggered pulse retrigger timers, where the behavior of the timer (OUT) for positive / rising
edge (IN-R) & negative / falling edge (IN-F) can be observed. A brief description of 4
possible scenarios is given below:
Case-I: If the input signal picks up at time t0, the pulse timer output OUT will be triggered at
the same rising / falling edge. Once this input is activated, the output is set for a specific
duration t0 + dt using the Time setting (eg. 5s). Even if the input goes low before the set DT
(eg. 2s), the pulse retrigger timer output will drop out only after completion of time t0 + dt,
which is 5s.
Case-II: If the input signal picks up at time t1, the pulse timer output OUT will be triggered
at the same rising / falling edge. Once this input is activated, the output is set for a specific
duration t1 + dt using the Time setting (eg. 5s). If this input is retriggered before the set DT
(eg. at 2s), the pulse retrigger timer will calculate the DT from the instance when the input
has retriggered, i.e. 2s, & the output will drop out only after completion of time 2s + dt,
which is 7s.
Case-III: If the input signal picks up at time t2, the pulse timer output OUT will be triggered
at the same rising / falling edge. Once this input is activated, the output is set for a specific
duration t2+ dt using the Time setting (eg. 5s). If this input continues to remain active even
after completion of the set DT (eg. till 7s), the pulse timer output will follow the input signal
till the time it remains high & drops out when the input signal drops out, i.e. after 7s.
Case-IV: If the input signal picks up at time t3, the pulse timer output OUT will be triggered
at the same rising / falling edge. Once this input is activated, the output is set for a specific
duration t3 + dt using the Time setting (eg. 5s). If this input is retriggered (at t4), and
continues to remain active even after completion of the set DT t4 +dt (eg. till 7s), the pulse
timer output will follow the input signal, irrespective of the retriggering till the time it
remains high & will drop out when the input signal drops out, i.e. after 7s.
The delay-on timer function has a settable pulse time. Once the input is activated, the
output is set after a delay of specific duration using the Time setting, ranging from 0 to 2000
seconds in the Timer Properties window. This window also gives the available options
which can be given to the timer as an input, & percentage of memory consumed by the timer,
which is 1.50%. The pulse timer can be a positive edge triggered timer or a negative edge
triggered timer.
The following figure shows timing diagram for both, positive and negative edge
triggered delay-on timers, where the behavior of the timer (OUT) for positive / rising edge
(IN-R) & negative / falling edge (IN-F) can be observed. A brief description of 3 possible
scenarios is given below:
Case-I: If the input signal picks up at time t0, the delay-on timer output OUT will be
triggered after a delay of specific duration t0 + dt defined in the Time setting (eg. after 4s).
Once the output is set, it follows the input, i.e. it stays high as long as input is high & drops
out as the input drops out at t1 (eg. after 5s).
Case-II: The delay-on timer output does not respond to any glitch in the input signal. During
the duration t2 to t3, the timer output signal will remain low.
Case-III: If the input signal picks up at time t4, the delay-on timer output OUT will be
triggered after a delay of specific duration t0 + dt defined in the Time setting (eg. after 4s).
Once the output is set, it follows the input, i.e. it stays high as long as input is high & drops
out as the input drops out at t (eg. after 8s).
This block is a simple SR flip-flop with a memory that can be set or that can reset an
output from the S or R inputs, respectively. The status of output Q is stored in the nonvolatile
memory. The percentage of memory consumed by the SR Flip-flop is shown in the Properties
Window, which is 1.65%. Figure shows logic block and truth table of SR flip-flop.

Figure 226 - SR Flip-flop: Logic Block & Truth Table
The inputs to the flip-flop may be pickup or trip signals of protection functions,
software inputs, binary inputs (BIs), virtual inputs (VIs), common inputs or general inputs.
On selection of a input signal, a Select Input window pops up. Here the user has to select
whether to configure the input signal as a Set(S) input or Reset(R) input.
4.3.3.4 Comparators
Comparator is a combinational logic block that takes two quantities as input &
determines whether one number is greater than, less than or equal to the other. Logic software
provides 4 types of comparator, wherein, two measured quantities can be compared with each
other, or a measured quantity can be compared with a predefined value. The percentage of
memory consumed by the comparator is shown in the Properties Window, which is 1.65%.
The types of comparators are:
Less than (<) Comparator: This comparator takes two quantities and determines the
smallest of them.
Greater than (>) Comparator: This comparator takes two quantities and determines the
largest of them.
Less than or Equal to (≤) Comparator: This comparator takes two quantities and
determines if the first quantity is less than or equal to the second quantity.
Greater than or Equal to (≥) Comparator: This comparator takes two quantities and
determines if the first quantity is greater than or equal to the second quantity.
When two measured quantities are to be compared using any comparator, select the
setting Input v/s Input from Comparator Properties. On selection of input quantity, a
Select Input window pops up. Here the user has to select whether to configure the input
quantity as input A or input B. In this case, inputs to the comparator may be current, voltage,
energy or power quantities which can be compared with each other. Output of any
comparator may be LED indicators, binary outputs (BOs), or virtual outputs (VOs). The
following example shows comparison of Current IL1 with Current IL2. When IL1< IL2, LED
5 will glow.
When a measured quantity is to be compared with a Set Value using any comparator,
select the setting Value v/s Input from Comparator Properties. On selection of input
quantity, a Select Input window pops up. Here the user has to select whether to configure the
input quantity as input A or input B. In this case, one input to the comparator may be current,
voltage, energy or power quantities which will be compared with other input Value, which
can be set as per user‟s requirement. Output of any comparator may be LED indicators,
binary outputs (BOs), or virtual outputs (VOs). The following example shows comparison of
Current IL1 with Value, which is defined to be 1A in this case. When IL1 > 1A, LED 5 will
glow.
The inputs to any logic block maybe pickup & trip signals of various protection
functions, BIs, VIs or GIs. Along with these inputs, some generic inputs have been provided
which can also be assigned as input to the gates. The set of generic inputs contain 8 special
purpose inputs and 8 completely user configurable inputs. Figure 16 shows a combination of
all.
CSWI Close: The Close BO in the device operates when this is given from SCADA and
in further configured in Logic.
CSWI Trip: The Trip BO in the device operates when this is given from SCADA and in
further configured in Logic.
Along with these inputs, 8 fully user configurable generic inputs are also available. In
the above figure, all of the generic inputs have been shown, outputs to which, may be a LED
or BO as per the type of input.
The Outputs section in the Logic Gates menu also provides with five commands
which operate similarly as the relay.
This command operates similar to the Self / Hand Reset feature in the relay, and can be
assigned to any of the BOs. The BO can be reset from the Logic software on triggering of
any of the inputs (Protection pickups, BIs, VIs). The status of all the outputs operating on
Hand Reset will be reset when the assigned input will be triggered. The figure shows that the
relay will be reset when BI 1 is triggered.
This command operates similar to the Self / Hand Reset feature in the relay, and can be
assigned to any of the LEDs. In case of a protection function, if an LED operates on Hand
Reset in the relay, it can be also reset from the Logic software on triggering of any of the
inputs (Protection pickups, BIs, VIs). The status of all the output operating on Hand Reset
will be reset when the assigned input will be triggered. The figure shows that the LED will be
reset when BI 1 is triggered.
4.3.5.3 Trip
This command operates similar to the Trip key on the front end of the relay. When the
Trip key is pressed on the relay, its assigned BO operates. The same can be done from the
Logic software on triggering of any of the inputs (Protection pickups, BIs, VIs). The assigned
BO for the trip function operates when the assigned input will be triggered. The figure shows
that relay will be trip when BI 1 will be triggered.
4.3.5.4 Close
This command operates similar to the Close key on the front end of the relay. When the
Close key is pressed on the relay, its assigned BO operates. The same can be done from the
Logic software on triggering of any of the inputs (Protection pickups, BIs, VIs). The assigned
BO for the Close function operates when the assigned input will be triggered. The figure
shows that relay contacts will close when BI 1 will be triggered.
4.3.5.5 DR Trigger
This command operates similar to the DR Trip Trigger and DR Pickup Trigger
function in the relay. When the DR triggering is kept ON for a trip or pickup instance of a
protection function, Disturbance Records are obtained on occurrence of these events. The
same can be done from the Logic software on triggering of any of the inputs (Protection
pickups, BIs, VIs). The DR is obtained for when the assigned input is triggered. The figure
shows that Disturbance Records will be obtained when VI D 31 & VI D 37 will be triggered.
4.3.5.6 Protection on GI
Similar to Protection on BI setting, this setting is used to enable / disable the operation
of any protection function based on an active GI. The user has to select Yes in PROT ON GI
setting in the device, and develop logic for the same in Logic software. In the given example
in figure 171, BIs have been used as triggering inputs for activation of GI. Consider GI 1 is
assigned to enable over current protection in the device. So, if BI 4 or BI 5 is triggered,
overcurrent protection will be enabled based on GI1.
Similar to the Setting Group on BI setting, this setting enables the user to assign a GIs
to a particular Setting Group. This means that the various protection settings defined in a
Setting Group can be enabled, simply on the activation of the assigned GI. Any of the GIs
can be assigned to any setting group. The user has to select Yes in SET. GRP ON GI setting
in the device, and develop logic for the same in Logic software. In the given example in
figure 172, BIs have been used as triggering inputs for activation of GI. Consider GI 1 is
assigned to activate Setting Group 1 in the device. So, if BI 4 or BI 5 is triggered, Setting
Group 1 will be the active group in the device based on GI1.

4.7 REPORTS
This chapter helps the user to know about tracking the fault records and event records,
which can be further useful for fault analysis. These records can be viewed by clicking on
Reports in the tree structure at the left of your screen.
Aegis Feeder Protection Relay stores the latest 10 faults occurred in the system. From
the figure, it can be seen that the fault record displays the trip count, type of the fault
occurred, various measured quantities in all the phases at the time of fault, & the date and
time at which fault has occurred. Click on Fault Records to observe the latest 10 faults.
The fault record can be cleared by clicking on Clear Record. The user must note that
clearing the fault record will also clear the event records.
Aegis Transformer Protection Relay stores the latest 500 events occurred in the system.
These events include occurrence of a fault, or change in the relay settings. The user may
download the event records ranging from 1 to 500. Click on Event Record to observe the
latest 500 events. The user may select the number of event records he wishes to download,
out of the events registered until that instant (eg. 4 in this case), and then click Download
Events.
The events records display the event number, the frame type, which is distinctive for
occurrence of an event (ASDU 1) and occurrence of a fault (ASDU 2), information related to
faults, the fault number, and the time at which fault has occurred.
