SIA-C Dual & Self-Powered Protection Relays
SIA-C Relays are Dual & Self powered overcurrent and earth fault Protection Relays, that obtein the energy to power itself tanks to STANDARD CURRENT TRANSFORMES on the lines. Besides, due to the low consumption of this relay, the required burden of the CTs is very low (2.5 VAs for 1 A nominal current or 5 VAs for 1 A nominal current.
SIA-C is provided with a really low pick-up level (0.1xIn) and its complete electronic allows to record up to 1024 events and 20 fault reports which are saved with the date and time at the moment of the recording thanks to the internal real time clock (RTC).
On the other hand, the SIA-C can be also Dual-powered Relay (working with auxiliary voltage) and offers up to 3 configurable LEDs and up to 3 magnetic indicators to signal the trip.
Regarding the communication and depending on model, rear communication (RS485 – Modbus RTU) can be selected.
Considering these advantages, SIA-C can be used in multiple applications, and different mechanics have been developed to cover all clients’ requirement.
Main Applications: Transformation substations. RMUs and SF6 insulated Switchgears.
The SIA-C is a overcurrent protection relay with self powered and dual powered (Self + Auxiliary) models.
- The relay is self powered using the operating current through three /5 (5VA) or /1 (2.5VA) standard current transformers fitted on the lines. These transformers are also used to obtain current measurements. Optionally, SIAC relay can be used with auxiliary power supply (24 Vdc, 230 Vac, 48 Vdc or 100-230 Vdc/ac).
The equipment can be occasionally supplied by an external battery portable kit (KITCOM). - Internal Commissioning battery as optional. (Lithium battery: 20 years lifetime).
- 50_1, 50/51, 50N/G_1, 50/51N/G, 74TCS, PGC, 50_2, 50N/G_2, CLP, 49, 46, 46BC, 50BF, 74CT, 79, 52, SHB, 49 and 68 protection functions.
- Specific test menu is provided.
- Remote communications RS485 Modbus RTU or IEC 60870-5-103
- High electromagnetic compatibility.
- The installation and subsequent maintenance of batteries is eliminated. The operating costs of the centre are reduced.
- In self powered modes, the start-up of the relay from 0.1 times of the nominal current in three phases ensures capacity to trip at low energy levels.
- The line opening mechanism is activated either by means of a striker PRT, operated by the energy supplied by the relay itself, or by a coil using the TCM trip adapter in case it is necessary.
- There are bistable magnetic indicators which indicate the trip cause, maintaining their position even though the relay loses the supply (flags).
- Different sizes of SIA-C relay available by model list to fulfil all the needs of our customers and make the installation easier.
- SIA-C is fitted with the demand of current (Load Data Profiling) with the following characteristics:
- Number of records: 168
- Recording mode circular
- Sampling rate (interval): configurable through communications: 1 – 60 min
- Non-volatile RAM memory in order to store up to 1.024 events and 20 fault report, maintaining date & time, thanks to its internal RTC (Real time clock) even without power supply.

Communication Software for SIA & SIL protection relays
The SICom PC software has been designed and programmed to gain access to all of Fanox relays information, to modify the settings and configuration, check states and measurements and to analyse and save events and fault reports using a graphic-friendly user interface.
SICom software works with the Windows® Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 operating system.
- General data reading: Complete model, Version, Serial number, etc.
- States reading
- Measurements reading
- Reading and changing settings
- Reading and changing configuration
- Reading and deleting events
- Reading and deleting fault reports
- Reading and deleting demand current (load data profiling)
- Reading and saving oscillographic records in Comtrade format
- Changing the user passwords
- Saving and Loading settings files
- Saving and Loading configuration files
- Saving events and fault reports
- Saving demand current (load data profiling)
- Date-time synchronization
- Configuring the communication parameters
- Reading and changing counters
- Commands for opening and closing the circuit breaker and block/unblock the recloser
- Configuration of the inputs
- Configuration of the outputs
- Configuration of the causes that start a Fault Report
The update of the software does not require any user´s action, this is, if the computer is connected to 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.
