2003 ? some cheap (at least for small plants), CFC, compact construction

Position vs 7 SS52

Disadvantage

High-end: 40-60 % (country dependent) worldwide high market acceptance, comparable with 7SS5; many additional functions; integrated distance/transformer diff protection (REB500sys), additional tripping criterion "current direction" (Spec argument!) Many specs ares influenced by ABB, no integrated slower tripping times; closed system with a high voltage protection, no integrated distance manufacturer relationship (configuration, protection commissioning, expansion "only by ABB"); isolator aux contacts require adjustment Undervoltage as additional tripping criterion by separate voltage relay (by zone); Redundant power supply as the one and only redundant component is senseless as it has similar reliability. Check zone should be integrated because of faulty There is not a single bus fault known that would isolator image risk; have demanded for an additional direction criterion in 7SS52. Why are several parameter sets required reasons, example?

few references; bus sectionalizer requires BU

few references; no IEC 61850 interface

Argumentation, comment

missing acceptance is inexplicable (only because of few references?) Areva tries to increase their market share by price dumping!

centralized, medium amount of I/O, "low level" operation and uncomfortable configuration, no renowned references, no IEC interface, needs adjusted isolator aux contacts; no integrated isolator replica pricewise attractive, if function sufficient and no references/experiences are required "ext. Fault detection logic" uses dI/dT criterion! Isolator logic "Not open= closed" same as SIEMENS!

pricewise attractive, if functionality is sufficient and no references/ experiences are required

ABB arguments: no check zone required "because of stability against CT interruption", not as Siemens, "against faulty isolator replica"! Related to high impedance schemes! "Setting below Imaxload possible, as CT interruption is detected and protection is blocked in time"

Checkzone is available (to satisfy specifications!) difficult, too little information about price, Could become a quite strong rival for 7SS52 and references etc. REB500 because of functionality and/or price! Takes advantage of universal IED 670 platform! Note: 1A/5A not adjustable! 4 ranges for binary inputs!?

difficult, too little information about price, references etc. Actually a n-leg differential protection for 1BB/1.5 CB plants Quantity structure very similar to the SEL487B basic equipment

only 4 zones, (incl. CZ); incommodious configuration (CFC like;) centralized; no IEC60870-5-103; very complicated CT calculation and setting instruction for characteristic difficult, too little information about price, references etc. Actually a n-leg differential protection based on the B30 Current direction criterion is no advantage but necessity! Direction criterion is for stability at saturation and external fault. 7SS doesnt need additional criteria as the fast 1-of-1-algo is faster than saturation.
