Sepam 100 is a group of modules that may
be used:
I individually to perform a function,
I in combination with Sepam 1000
or Sepam 2000.
Each module has been designed to perform
a complete function. It includes all the
elements required, such as:
I sensor interface,
I tripping output relays,
I annunciation, settings,
I connections.
application
Sepam 100 LA is used as the main
protection system in substations which do
not have an auxiliary power supply source.
Combined with a Sepam 1000 or
Sepam 2000, it provides back-up protection
for the substation incomers.
This protection goes into effect when the
main protection chain fails due to:
I power supply fault,
I wiring fault,
I trip unit fault,
I shutdown of Sepam 1000 or
Sepam 2000.
advantages
I protection against low-value phase and
earth faults,
I self-powering: Sepam 100 LA is powered
by the current sensors,
I may be put in disabled status (inactive
output) via an external inhibition contact,
I tripping by a low power-consuming
MITOP trip unit
(1)
.
I high level of immunity to electromagnetic
disturbances.

description
The front face of Sepam 100 LA contains
the instruments needed for the phase and
earth protection settings.
Each set of microswitches, marked K1, K2,
K3 and K4 and associated potentiometer
P1, P2, P3, P4 should be positioned
according to the desired setting.

Wiring of turns on the interposing ring CT
(e.g. 3 turns).
Sepam 100 LA provides 2 sorts of
protection:
I phase overcurrent (ANSI 50/51):
protection of equipment against phase-to-
phase faults (2- or 3-phase),
I earth fault (ANSI 50N/51N):
protection of equipment against earth faults
in directly earthed or impedance earthed
networks.
This sort of protection is appropriate for
current transformers:
I 1 A secondary (CT 1 A),
I 5 A secondary (CT 5 A).
Setting includes:

If all the microswitches are set to 0,

Only one microswitch in the group should be
set to 1.

I positioning microswitch K2 (phase protection),
K4 (earth protection) (1),
I fine tuning using the potentiometer:

The duration of the time delay includes
MITOP trip unit tripping time.
current sensors
The current transformers should be sized
so as not to saturate at the setting, taking
into consideration Sepam 100 LA's input
impedances:
I phase input: 0.02 ,
I earth input: 0.08 ,
(i.e. 0.1 for phase + earth protection).
In practice, a 2.5 VA, 10P15, 5A secondary
type transformer is appropriate.
The current transformer windings should be
coiled round a separate magnetic coil and
must not supply power to any circuits other
than the Sepam 100 LA's circuit.

I make the required number of turns on the

indicated in the chart (page 4) (the number
of possible turns may be limited by the
cross section of the wire: max. 2.5 mm

for 12 turns). Make a note of the following
on the front face:
v type of current sensor, 1 or 5A
(e.g. CT 1 A)
v number of turns made (e.g. 3).
I set microswitch K1 on the front face to
the desired set point (fine tuning
potentiometer P1 turned fully to the
minimum setting on the left). Only 1
microswitch among the 6 available should
be set to 1 (for miminum time delay setting,
microswitch K2 should be set to 1 and the
corresponding potentiometer P2 turned fully
to the left).
I inject the set point current and turn the
potentiometer until the MITOP trips, after
having shorted the earth matching transfor-
mer for the duration of testing.
Set the time delay to the desired value
using microswitch K2 and the related
potentiometer P2.

I set microswitch K3 on front face
(fine tuning potentiometer P3 turned fully to
the minimum setting on the left).
Only 1 microswitch among the 4 available
should be set to 1 (for miminum time delay

and the corresponding potentiometer P4
turned fully to the left).
