Function switch-

SGF1/1 Switches SGF1/1...3 are used for selecting the characteristic of the low-set overcurrent
SGF1/2 stage I>, i.e. definite time operation characteristic or inverse definite minimum time
SGF1/3 (IDMT) characteristic. At IDMT characteristic the switches are also used for selecting
the required current/time characteristic for the stage.

0 0 0 Definite time 0.05...300 s

1 0 0 IDMT Extremely inverse

1 0 1 IDMT RI-characteristic
0 1 1 IDMT RXIDG-characteristic
1 1 1 --- (Long-time inverse)

SGF1/4 Circuit breaker failure protection (CBFP).

When SGF1/4 =1 the trip signal TS2 will start a timer which will generates a delayed
operate signal via TS1, if the fault has not been cleared before the operate time has
elapsed.
When switch SGF1/4 = 0 the circuit breaker failure protection is out of operation.

SGF1/5 Automatic doubling of the set start current of the high-set overcurrent stage I>> when
the protected object is energized.

When SGF1/5 = 0, no doubling of the start current setting of stage I>> is obtained.
When SGF1/5 = 1, the start current setting of stage I>> doubles automatically.
The doubling feature makes it possible to give the high-set stage a setting value below
the connection inrush current level.

SGF1/6 Switches SGF1/6...8 are used for selecting the operation characteristic of the low-set
SGF1/7 earth-fault stage I0>, i.e. definite time characteristic or inverse definite minimum time
SGF1/8 (IDMT) characteristic. At inverse definite minimum time characteristic the switches
are also used for selecting the current/time characteristic of the stage.

On delivery from the factory all switches SGF1

are set at zero, i.e. the checksum for SGF1 is 0.

Function switch-
group SGF2 Switch Function

SGF2/1 Switches SGF2/1...4 are used for selecting the operation characteristic of the start
SGF2/2 indicators of the different stages. When the switches are in position 0 the start signals
SGF2/3 are all automatically reset when the fault is cleared. To give the indicator of a stage the
SGF2/4 hand reset mode of operation, the corresponding switch is set in position 1:

SGF2/1 = 1 equals manual reset mode for the start indication of stage I>
SGF2/2 = 1 equals manual reset mode for the start indication of stage I>>
SGF2/3 = 1 equals manual reset mode for the start indication of stage I0>
SGF2/4 = 1 equals manual reset mode for the start indication of stage I0>>

SGF2/5 Operation of the high-set phase overcurrent stage I>>.

When SGF2/5 = 0 the high-set stage I>> is alerted

When SGF2/5 = 1 the high-set stage I>> is out of operation and the display shows
"- - -"

SGF2/6 Operation of the high-set earth-fault stage I0>>.

When SGF2/6 = 0 the high-set stage I0>> is alerted

When SGF2/6 = 1 the high-set stage I0>> is out of operation and the display shows
"- - -"

SGF2/7 Start signal of the high-set stage I>> to the auto-reclose signal output AR1.

When SGF2/7 = 1, the start signal of the I>> stage is routed to output AR1.

Note! Outputs AR1 and SS3 are interconnected and they always carry the same signal.
Therefore, if AR1 is used for starting auto-reclose functions, SS3 cannot be used for
any other purpose.

When SGF2/7 =0, the start signal of the I>> stage is not routed to output AR1 nor
SS3. Thus the signal output SS3 is available for other purposes.

SGF2/8 Start signal of the low-set stage I0> or high-set stage I0>> to auto-reclose signal output
AR3.

When SGF2/8 = 0 the start signal from the I0> stage is routed to output AR3
When SGF2/8 = 1 the start signal from the I0>> stage is routed to output AR3

When the relay is delivered from the factory the

SGF2 switches are set at zero, i.e. the checksum
for SGF2 is 0.

Blocking or control

switchgroup SGB
SGB/1 Switches SGB/1...4 are used for routing an external blocking signal BS to one or more
SGB/2 of the protection stages of the relay module. When the switches all are in position 0
SGB/3 no stage is blocked.
SGB/4
When SGB/1 = 1 the I> stage is blocked by the external control signal BS
When SGB/2 = 1 the I>> stage is blocked by the external control signal BS
When SGB/3 = 1 the I0> stage is blocked by the external control signal BS
When SGB/4 = 1 the I0>> stage is blocked by the external control signal BS

SGB/5 Selection of main settings or second settings with an external control signal BS or via
the serial interface using command V150.

When SGB/5 = 0 the settings can be controlled via the serial port but not via the
external control input BS
When SGB/5 = 1, the settings can be controlled via the external control input. The
main values are enforced when the control input is not energized and the second
settings are enforced when the control input is energized.

Note! When the application includes switching between main and second settings,
it should be noted that switch SGB/5 must have the same position in the main set of
settings and the second set of settings. Otherwise a conflict situation might occur when
the settings are switched by external control or via the serial port.

SGB/6 Latching of the trip signal TS2 of the phase overcurrent unit.

When SGB/6 = 0 the trip signal returns to its initial state (= the output relay drops
off), when the energizing signal causing the operation falls below the set start current.
When SGB/6 = 1 the trip signal is latched (= the output relay remains picked up after
operation), although the energizing signal falls below the start current. The trip signal
is to be manually reset by pushing the push-buttons RESET and PROGRAM
simultaneously. 1)

SGB/7 Latching of the trip signal TS2 of the earth-fault unit.

When SGB/7 = 0 the trip signal returns to its initial state (= the output relay drops
off), when the measuring signal causing the operation falls below the set start current.
When SGB/7 = 1 the trip signal is latched (= the output relay remains picked up after
operation), although the energizing signal falls below the start current. The trip signal
is to be manually reset by pushing the push-buttons RESET and PROGRAM
simultaneously. 1)

SGB/8 Remote resetting of a latched output relay and memorized values.

When the output TS2 has been given the latching mode with switch SGB/6 or SGB/7,
a remote reset can be performed using the external control input BS, when switch
SGB/8 =1.

switchgroups SGR1, SGR1 The switches of switchgroup SGR1 are used to select the start and operate signals
SGR2 and SGR3 to be routed to outputs SS1 and TS2.

SGR2 The switches of switchgroup SGR2 are used for routing the operate signals of the
protection stages to the outputs SS2 and SS3.

SGR3 The switches of switchgroup SGR3 are used to route the start and operate signals to
the start or auxiliary trip output TS1. Note! If the circuit breaker failure protection
has been taken in use with switch SGF1/4, it will also occupy the TS1 output.

1 Phase current IL1 displayed as a multiple of the rated current of the used input of the
overcurrent unit. If the overcurrent unit starts or operates, the current value at the
moment of operation is recorded in a memory stack. Any new operation adds a new
value to the stack and moves the old values one place forward. Five values are
memorized. If a sixth value is recorded, the oldest value is lost.

2 Phase current IL2 measured as a multiple of the rated current of the used input of the
overcurrent unit. If the overcurrent unit starts or operates, the current value at the
moment of operation is recorded in a memory stack. Any new operation adds a new
value to the stack and moves the old values one place forward. Five values are
memorized. If a sixth value is recorded, the oldest value is lost.

3 Phase current IL3 measured as a multiple of the rated current of the used input of the
overcurrent unit. If the overcurrent unit starts or operates, the current value at the
moment of operation is recorded in a memory stack. Any new operation adds a new
value to the stack and moves the old values one place forward. Five values are
memorized. If a sixth value is recorded, the oldest value is lost.

adds a new value to the memory stack and moves the old values forward one place.
