SIL-S LPIT FEEDER PROTECTION

The SIL-S is a feeder relay with current, voltage, and frequency protection functions for primary and secondary distribution by means of LPIT inputs. Fanox SIL-S Relay is compatible with Low-Power Instrument Transformers (LPIT)

LPIT combines a Low-Power Voltage Transformer (LPVT) and a Low-Power Current Transformer (LPCT or Rogowsky coil)

SIL-S relay is provided with five (5) RJ45 connectors to measure:
➤3-phase current and voltage (3 channels)
➤neutral current (1 channel)
➤ Additional voltage measurement for line-busbar synchronization

Additionally, it provides control of circuit breakers and reclosers and offers the SOTF function to quickly clear faults in the event of a manual circuit breaker closure.

The relay offers local and remote options for communication, including Modbus, DNP3.0, and IEC protocols. It can also synchronize using IRIG-B, depending on the model.

Each oscillographic record contains analog and digital channels, which can be downloaded using the SICom Communications Software in COMTRADE format (IEEE C37.111-1991).

Main Characteristics

  • The SIL-S is a feeder relay with current, voltage, and frequency functions for primary and secondary distribution designed to work with LPIT technology (Low Power Instrument Transformers).
  • Auxiliary power supply of 24- 230 Vdc/ac
  • 5 combined current/voltage channels for current sensors (LPCT and Rogowski) and capacitive and resistive low-power voltage sensors (LEA).
  • Metallic box with a high electromagnetic compatibility level (EMC) and wide range of operating temperature.
  • Protection of decoupling, load shedding, and loss of main (islanding). Loss of Main (islanding) occurs when part of the public utility network loses connection with the rest of the system. If this situation is not detected, the generator could remain connected, causing a safety hazard within the network. Automatic reconnection of the generator to the network may occur, causing damage to the generator and the network. SIL-S protection relay detects this situation thanks to its voltage and frequency functions focused on the Rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) method.
  • Signaling/control of the circuit breaker (52 function) and the recloser (79 function).
  • In case a CB is manually closed, a switch on to an existing fault may occur. This fault condition is critical if the overcurrent protection function does not clear the fault until the adjusted time delay is finished. It is necessary, in those cases, to clear the fault quickly by means of the SOTF function.
  • To allow the communication, relays are provided with a local micro-USB front port and with remote communication with different options (ports and protocols) on the rear side:
    » Rear RS485 Port: Modbus RTU, DNP3.0 Serial or IEC60870-5-103(selectable by general settings).
    » Rear RJ45 Port: Modbus TCP/IP, DNP3.0 TCP/IP, IEC60870-5-104 or IEC61850 (selectable by general settings) + SNTP Protocol+ Web Server.
  • Synchronization through IRIG-B is optional, depending on the model.
  • The SIL-S is provided with (depending on the model):
    » 8 configurable inputs and 7 configurable outputs.
    » 11 configurable inputs and 5 configurable outputs.
  • The SIL-S is fitted with the demand of power (Load Data Profiling) with the following characteristics:
    » Number of records: 2160.
    » Recording mode circular.
    » Sampling rate (interval): configurable through communications (1-60 min).
  • Alarms panel is available.
  • The SIL-S is provided with non-volatile RAM memory in order to store up to 3072 events and disturbance fault recording (DFR), maintaining date & time thanks to its internal RTC (real Time Clock).
    » 5 records in data and COMTRADE format (300 cycles each record): 1 to 8 pre-fault cycles + 292 to 299 post-fault cycles.
    » 25 records in data and COMTRADE format (60 cycles each record): 1 to 8 pre-fault cycles + 52 to 59 post-fault cycles.
    » 50 records in data and COMTRADE format (30 cycles each record): 1 to 8 pre-fault cycles + 22 to 29 post-fault cycles.
    » 100 records in data and COMTRADE format (15 cycles each record): 1 to 8 pre-fault cycles + 7 to 14 post-fault cycles.)
  • Each oscillographic record contains 10 analogue channels and up to 96 configurable digital channels. The oscillography is downloaded by a communications port. The SICom communications program allows the oscillography record to be downloaded and saved in COMTRADE format (IEEE C37.111-1991)

Software

Communication Software for all Fanox Protection Relays MV Range

The SICom PC software has been designed and programmed to gain access to all Fanox relays information, modify the settings and configuration, check states and measurements, and analyze and save events and fault reports using a graphic-friendly user interface.

The software update does not require any user´s action; if the computer is connected to the Internet, SICom updates itself when it is started.
It will allow you to prepare all the settings and relay configurations without having the relay connected to the PC (offline mode), reducing engineering and commissioning time.
SICom program uses Modbus protocol, so only the ports with this protocol can be used to establish the communication.
