SIL-A – OC&EF Line Protection Relays

Feeder Protection for Primary and Secondary Distribution

Fanox SIL-A Relay has been designed for overcurrent and earth fault protection. It takes a step forward in terms of line protection providing advanced communications and more protection functions such as auto-recloser.

Moreover, the ability of being able to choose between standard /1 A or /5 A CTs easily by software, combined with more sensitive measurements, provides the flexibility and reliability you need for a complete line protection.

Features

SIL-A Models B / C

The SIL-A is an overcurrent and earth fault protection relay for primary and secondary distribution with auxiliary power supply 24-220 Vdc/ 48-230 Vac. The current measurement is obtained either by standard current transformers / 1 or /5, or by special Low Power Current Transformers (LPCT).

  • Metalic box with high electromagnetic compatibility level (EMC) and wide range of operating temperature.
  • Direct signalling/control both of the circuit breaker (52 function), both of the recloser (79 function).
  • Zone selection interlocking (ZSI) function is available through configuarble inputs and outputs thanks to the programmable logic.
  • To allow the communication, relays have a communication port on the front of the equipment and remote communication with different options (ports and protocols) on the back:
    • RS485 PORT: IEC60870-5-103, Modbus RTU or DNP3.0 Serial, selectable by model/settings.
    • RJ45 PORT: IEC 61850, Modbus TCP/IP, DNP3.0 TCP/IP or IEC 60870-5-104, selectable by model/settings).
  • The SIL-A has configurable and dedicated inputs and inputs, depending on adaptation:
    • Adaptation “B”: 6 configurable Digital Inputs and 4 configurable Digital Outputs.
    • Adaptation “C”: 4 configurable Digital Inputs, 2 dedicated Digital Inputs and 4 Digital Outputs.
  • SIL-A is fitted with the demand of current (Load Data Profiling) with the following characterístics:
    • Number of records: 168
    • Recording mode circular
    • Sampling rate (Interval): configurable through communications (1-60 min)

SIL-A Models A / D

The SIL-A is a feeder relay with overcurrent and earth fault protections for primary and secondary distribution with auxiliary power supply 24-230 Vac/dc. The current measurement is obtained by standard current transformers /1 or /5.

  • Metallic box with high electromagnetic compatibility level (EMC) and wide range of operating temperature.
  • Direct signalling/control of the circuit breaker (52 function) and the recloser (79 function).
  • Zone selection interlocking – ZSI (68 function) is available throug configurable inputs and outputs thanks to the programmable logic (PGC).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 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:
    • 1 RS485 Port: IEC60870-5-103, Modbus RTU or DNP3.0 Serial (selectable by general settings).
    • 1RS485 Port: IEC60870-5-103, Modbus RTU or DNP3.0 Serial (selectable by general settings) + 1 RJ45 Port: Modbus TCP/IP or IEC60870-5-104 (selectable by general settings).
    • 1 RS485 Port: IEC60870-5-103, Modbus RTU or DNP3.0 Serial (selectable by general settings) 1 RJ45 Port: IEC61850
  • The SIL-A has 6 configurable inputs and 6 configurable outputs.
  • SIL-A 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).
  • SIL-A is provided with non-volatile RAM memory in order to store up to 3.072 events and disturbance fault recording (DFR – 25 fault reports and 25 oscillographic records in COMTRADE format), maintaining date & time thanks to its internal RTC (real Time Clock).
  • The oscillography is downloaded by communications port. The SICom communications program allows the oscillograghy record to be downloaded and saved in COMTRADE format (IEEE C37.111-1991).

Software

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.
