Overfluxing restraint

The MiCOM P63x series differential

protection devices are intended for
the fast and selective short-circuit
protection of transformers, motors,
generators and other installations
with two, three or four windings,
respectively.
The MiCOM P63x series provides
high-speed three-system differential
protection using a triple-slope
characteristic and two high-set
differential elements in combination
with transformer inrush restraint,
overfluxing restraint and throughstabilization. Amplitude and vector
group matching is done just by
entering the nominal values of
transformer windings and
associated CTs.
In addition many supplementary
protective functions are
incorporated in the devices.
Protective functions which are
available several times are freely

assignable to the windings. For ring

bus and breaker-and-a-halfapplications a virtual winding can
be defined for which the current
measuring inputs are based on the
vector sum of currents from two
freely selectable windings.
MiCOM 63x series devices are
completely settable via local control
panel or using MiCOM S1 Settings
& Records program.
Comprehensive measurements and
recording facilities simplify
commissioning, testing and fault
diagnosis.
Using the optional communication
interface, MiCOM P63x series
devices can be integrated through a
choice of protocols with substation
control and telecontrol systems. 2nd
communication interface can be
used for remote access.

Flexibility
All main functions are individually
configurable and can be disabled or
enabled by the user as desired. By
means of a straight-forward
configuration procedure, the user can
adapt the device flexibly to the scope of
protection required in each particular
application. Due to the powerful, freely
configurable logic of the device, special
applications can be accommodated.
Nominal values of all measurement
inputs are settable:
Inom : 1 or 5 A AC
Vnom: 50 130 V AC
fnom : 50 or 60 Hz
Main functions can be individually
configured.
Function settings can be defined in 4
independent setting groups.
Wide range power supply:
48 to 250 V DC and
100 to 230 V AC
Wide range binary inputs:
24 to 250 V DC
All output relays are suitable for both
signals and commands.
The optional PT 100 input is leadcompensated, balanced and
linearized for PT 100 resistance
thermometers per IEC 60751.

Measurement and
recording facilities
In addition to a comprehensive
selfmonitoring, the following global
functions are available:
Comprehensive set of measurands
and logical state signals to simplify
commissioning and testing
Operating data recording (time
tagged signal logging)
Overload data acquisition
Overload recording (time tagged
signal logging)
Fault data acquisition
Fault recording (time-tagged signal
logging together with fault value
recording of all sampled currents and
voltages)

Design
MiCOM P63x series is available with
surface-mounting case for wall
installation or flush-mounting case for
19" cubicle or control panels.

Interfaces
Information exchange is done via the
local control panel, the PC interface and
2 optional communication interfaces.
One of the communication interfaces
conforms to IEC 60870-5-103, IEC
60870-5-101, DNP 3.0 and Modbus
and is intended for integration of
MiCOM P63x with substation control
systems. The 2nd communication
interface conforms to IEC 60870-5-103
and is intended for remote access.

Local control
Via 11 keys and an alphanumerical
LCD (4x20 characters)
State and fault signals via 17 LED
indicators (12 freely configurable)

PC interface
Front port providing local
communications with MiCOM S1
Settings & Records program.
