Siemens delivers high-performance with dual powered protection relay
Reyrolle 7SR46 protection relay
Due to their often remote location, secondary
substations do not always have a battery to provide power to electronic
equipment such as protection relays. With this in mind,
the 7SR46 has been designed to operate using power from current transformers
(CTs) when the line is live. Addressing scenarios whereby the line is switched
off and there is already a fault on the line, or the earth connection has been
mistakenly left connected, the 7SR46 has been specifically designed to power up
quickly to provide protection in such circumstances.
Providing additional flexibility and security, the 7SR46 is dual
powered to allow a connection to an auxiliary battery supply. With power
available from the current transformers and an auxiliary power supply, this
feature provides redundancy in case the battery fails.
The 7SR46 device has a compact (H104 mm x W185 mm x D79 mm), moulded
enclosure. The front of the device includes an easy-to-use display and push
buttons that can be used to programme the relay and view fault records and
instrumentation. Four LEDs provide information on the relay’s status and a
mechanical trip flag is also available. The front of the device features a USB
communication port for connecting to a PC and can
power the relay when no other power source is available. The USB port also
allows plug and play connection to Reydisp to programme
the device and download fault and event information. The integrated battery
allows users to program the device and to download event and fault records
without a connected power supply. The rear of the device features user-friendly
detachable terminals for RS485 communication interface (Modbus RTU and IEC
60870-103), auxiliary power supply, binary inputs, binary outputs, external
trip initiation input, external flag output and a pulse output. The CTs (of
type 5P80) are connected with a secure ring crimp. A
clear connection diagram is also located on the rear of the relay to aid the
user.
Adhering to stringent product testing standards, the 7SR46 is perfectly
suited for use in distribution transformer stations where there is not a
circuit breaker trip supply. The device features a pulse output that can
activate a low power trip coil to trip the circuit breaker. Available at a
highly competitive price point, the 7SR46 provides comprehensive and reliable
protection for medium voltage applications.
