1 Description

This document provides an overview of the changes to relay models contained in the associated
library file RelayLibrary-2017. Entries are sorted per manufacturer.

1.1 New Relay Models

• ABB RED 615
• ABB REF 630
• ABB RMX 913
• Alstom PSEL 3000
• Alstom PXLC 3000
• Enertec PD3A
• Enertec RXAP
• Siemens 7SA8
• Siemens 7SD50
• Siemens 7SD74
• Siemens 7SJ72
• Siemens R3Z24
• Siemens RN25a
• Siemens RN25b
• Siemens RN27b
• Siemens R2As72k
• Siemens R3As72k
• Toshiba GRZ100

1.2 ABB
• RAZOA:
– An external relay (i.e. ABB RAKZB) can now be used as starting logic.
– The connection scheme layout has been cleaned.
– The voltage real and imaginary part signals have been added to the starting block
input signal set.
– Some setting range errors have been fixed.
– The "T1" timer has been removed and the "T4" timer has been added and associated
to the starting.
• REF 615:
– The ABB REF 615 technical reference document has been improved adding the
names of the relay block parameters.

DIgSILENT PowerFactory 2017, Protection Device Release Notes 1

1 Description

– The "Measure Seq" element was not present in the list of the measurement blocks
and has been added.
– The minimum response time has been implemented using the "User defined min.
time" setting (“udeftmin” parameter) in the Toc definitions.

1.3 Alstom
• PXLP:
– A mismatch in the connection of the output signals of the "Starting" block has been
fixed making the relay stable for reverse faults.

1.4 Areva
• P44X:
– An error in the connection of the phase overcurrent starting elements (Z1 Sensit
Iph>1..Z1 Sensit Iph>14,Z1 Sensit Iph>P) input signals has been fixed.
• P341:
– The "SEF I selector" block has added: it allows the user, using the "Use_Core_CT_I"
dip switch, to select which current between the residual current and the core CT
current, must be used by the SEF overcurrent and directional elements.
• P43X:
– In the output logic equation, an error affecting the operation of the "T7" and "T8" timers
has been fixed.

1.5 Generic Relays

• F21:
– In the F21 Distance Mho, F21 Distance Polygonal, and the F21 Distance Polyg-
onal RX relay models, the output logic has been modified to set only one of the
yout2_P1...yout2_P6 flags when a two phase-phase fault is applied.

1.6 Schweitzer
• SEL 311A:
– In the 5A relay model, a mismatch between the relay and the type object affecting the
"Logic" and the "LogZG" block has been fixed.

1.7 Siemens
• 7SA6:
– The Distance zone time delays parameters addresses have been fixed in the technical
reference.
– Added PUTT with Z1B, POTT with Z1B and Pilot Wire Comparison.

1 Description

• 7SA8:

– Siemens 7SA8 directional angles are now 120 (+30 in the II quadrant) and -22 in the
IV quadrant.
• 7UT6xxx:
– The phase differential uses the new "Scalar summ" restrain type.
– The "REF Irestrain" block has been added to calculate the REF restrain current.
• 7SJ64:
– In the "DIR EF" and in the "Dir OC" block type dialog, the "MTA"("imtadir" setting)
setting has been set as "Leading".

• 7SA511:
– In order to allow to display the "T5" timer when the "Timer" button is pushed in the
"Starting" element, the "yout" signal of the "Dir-Z" block has been connected to the
"Output Logic" block "ZT4" input signal removing the direct connection of the "ZT4" to
the "Output Logic" block.

• 7SD511:
– The 5A rated current setting value has been added in the measurement blocks.
• 7UM62x:

– A misoperation of the Siemens 7UM62x relay model out of step detection has been
fixed with the following modifications:
* The start signal to the "OOS release logic" has been added.
* The "Out of Step Characteristic 1" and the "Out of Step Characteristic 2" block
send out the "yOOS" signal instead of the "yout" signal.
* The "OOS Characteristic 1" and the "OOS Characteristic 2" block pickup and
reset time has been set equal to 0.005 s to increase the system speed and make
it more similar to the relay.
* The "OOS Characteristic 1" and the "OOS Characteristic 2" reset ratio has been
set equal to 95
* The "Out of Step Characteristic 1" and the "Out of Step Characteristic 2" get the
impedances signals from the "Polarizing" block.

1.8 Sprecher
• SPRECON-E DD:
– The relay model technical reference has been improved.
