The PCS-9691E overcurrent management relay provides various overcurrent protection solutions
for the feeders, the shunt capacitor banks, the reactors or the motors etc. The following sections
detail the individual protection functions in this device.
3.1 Fault Detectors
The fault detector operates if any of the following conditions is satisfied.
1. Any one of the three phase currents is in excess of the setting of the stage 1 overcurrent
protection on condition that the stage 1 overcurrent protection is enabled (I > [I_OC1]).
4. The zero sequence current is in excess of the setting of the stage 1 zero sequence
overcurrent protection on condition that the stage 1 zero sequence overcurrent protection is
enabled (I0 > [I_ROC1]).
7. The thermal accumulation value is equal to 100% on condition that the thermal overload
protection is enabled (Accu = 100%).
8. The negative sequence current is in excess of the setting of the negative sequence
overcurrent protection on condition that the negative sequence overcurrent protection is
enabled (I2 > [I_NegOC]).
9. The ratio of negative to positive phase sequence current (I2/I1) is in excess of the ratio setting
of the broken conductor protection on condition that the broken conductor protection is
enabled (I2/I1 > [Ratio_I2/I1]).
10. Any one of phase currents is in excess of the current setting of the breaker failure protection
on condition that the breaker failure protection is enabled (I > [I_OC_BFI]).
11. The maximum phase-to-phase voltage is in excess of the voltage setting of the overvoltage
protection on condition that the overvoltage protection is enabled (Uppmax > [V_OV]).

3 Operation Theory
12. The maximum phase-to-phase voltage is in less of the voltage setting of the undervoltage
protection on condition that the undervoltage protection is enabled (Uppmax < [V_UV]).
Each fault detector element will reset to normal operation status at once when the relevant input
current is less than its setting multiplied by 0.95.
The following figure shows the logic of fault detector of the PCS-9691E.
Figure 3.1-1 Logic diagram of the fault detector
3.2 Overcurrent Protection
The overcurrent protection in this relay provides three-stage phase overcurrent protection with
independent definite time delay characteristics. Each stage can be enabled/disabled by the
scheme logic settings independently.
The stage 1 and stage 2 overcurrent protections have the same protective functional logic. When
the stage 3 overcurrent protection is used as regular definite time overcurrent protection, it has the
same protective functional logic with other stages of overcurrent protection; when it is used as
inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) overcurrent protection, it has a different protective functional
logic with other stages of overcurrent protection.
When the setting [Opt_InvOC] is set as “0”, the stage 3 overcurrent protection is used as regular
definite time overcurrent protection; and when the setting [Opt_InvOC] is set as “1” to “10”, the
stage 3 overcurrent protection is used as IDMT overcurrent protection.
The inverse time delayed characteristics comply with the formulas in following table.

protection, it is the setting [TD_InvOC], and its range is “0.05 ~ 15.00”.

overcurrent protection [I_OC3].

3.3 Zero Sequence Overcurrent Protection
This relay provides three-stage zero sequence overcurrent protection with independent definite
time delay characteristics. Each stage can be enabled/disabled by the scheme logic settings
independently and can be controlled by the zero sequence directional element respectively.
One input current transformer is dedicated to the earth fault protection, and this input CT is
designed specially to operate at low current magnitudes. The zero sequence current also can be
calculated on the basis of the three phase currents. The setting [Opt_Calc_3I0] is used to select
the source of the zero sequence current.
The stage 1 and stage 2 zero sequence overcurrent protections have the same protective
functional logic. When the stage 3 zero sequence overcurrent protection is used as regular definite
time zero sequence overcurrent protection, it has the same protective functional logic with other
stage zero sequence overcurrent protections; when it is used as zero sequence IDMT overcurrent
protection, it has a different protective functional logic with other stages of zero sequence
overcurrent protection.
When the setting [Opt_InvROC] is set as “0”, the stage 3 zero sequence overcurrent protection is
used as regular definite time zero sequence overcurrent protection; and when the setting
[Opt_InvROC] is set as “1” to “10”, the stage 3 zero sequence overcurrent protection is used as
zero sequence IDMT overcurrent protection.
The inverse time delayed characteristics comply with the formulas in Section 3.2, see Section 3.2
for more details about these formulas.
If the setting [En_ROC3] is set as “0”, when the zero sequence current is greater than the setting
[I_ROC3] and this situation is keeping for the appointed time [t_ROC3], the stage 3 zero sequence

Where:
[En_Dir_ROC1] is the logic setting of the directional element for the ROC1 protection;
[Opt_Dir_ROC] is the setting which is used to select the relay characteristic angle.
3.4 Thermal Overload Protection
The relay incorporates a current based thermal replica, using load current to model heating and
cooling of the protected plant.
The heat generated within an item of plant, such as a cable or a transformer, is the resistive loss
(Ι2R x t). Thus, heating is directly proportional to current squared. The thermal time characteristic
used in the relay is therefore based on current squared, integrated over time. The relay
automatically uses the largest phase current for input to the thermal model.
The mathematical formula applicable in this relay is the following:
⎛ R 2 −η ⎞
Ttrip = TD × ⎜⎜τ × ln 2 ⎟
⎝ R − 1 ⎟⎠
Where:
Ttrip = Time to trip (in seconds);
TD = time setting, it is the time coefficient setting [TD_OvLd];
τ = Thermal time constant of the equipment to be protected (in seconds);

R = Thermal overload equal to Ieq/(k×Is);
Ieq = Equivalent current corresponding to the RMS value of the largest phase current;
Is = Full load current rating, it is the current setting [I_OvLd];
k = Factor associated to the thermal state formula;
η = Initial thermal state. If the initial thermal state = 50%, then η = 0.5.
The curves of the thermal overload time characteristic are shown in Figure 3.4-1.

protected equipment in a phase reverse situation.

[EBI_NegOC] is the enabling binary input of the negative sequence overcurrent protection.
3.6 Broken Conductor Protection
The relay incorporates an element which measures the ratio of negative to positive phase
sequence current (Ι2/Ι1). This will be affected to a lesser extent than the measurement of negative
sequence current alone, since the ratio is approximately constant with variations in load current.
Hence, a more sensitive setting may be achieved.
The logic diagram is as shown below. The ratio of I2/I1 is calculated and is compared with the
threshold and if the threshold is exceeded then the delay timer is initiated.

[En_BCP] is the logic setting of the broken conductor protection;
[EBI_BCP] is the enabling binary input of the broken conductor protection;
“I1” and “I2” are the positive sequence current and negative sequence current respectively.
3.7 Breaker Failure Protection
The relay provides one stage breaker failure protection with definite time delay characteristics.
The circuit breaker failure protection is specially for re-tripping the circuit breaker, when the relay
has transmitted the tripping command to the circuit breaker, but it also can detect the fault on the
busbar or the circuit breaker is still closed after an appointed time-delay.
An external binary input is special for triggering the breaker failure protection.

[En_Trip_Ctrl_BFP] is the logic setting of the breaker failure protection with the control of the
relay operation;
“Flg_Relay_Tripped” means that the relay already has transmitted the tripping command to
the circuit breaker through the tripping output.
3.8 Undervoltage and Overvoltage Protection
This relay provides undervoltage protection. When three phase-to-phase voltages all less than the
voltage setting and the predefined time delay has elapsed, the undervoltage protection will operate.
The undervoltage element is blocked by the position state of the circuit breaker. The VT circuit
failure can be identified automatically by this relay and the undervoltage element will be blocked at
once under such a condition.
This relay also provides overvoltage protection. When anyone of the three phase-to-phase
voltages is greater than voltage setting and the predefined time delay has elapsed, the
overvoltage protection will operate. The overvoltage element can be blocked by the position state
of the circuit breaker.
The functional logic diagram for the undervoltage and overvoltage protection is shown as bellow.

[EBI_OV] is the enabling binary input of the overvoltage protection;
“Flg_VTFailure” denotes that the voltage transformer circuit is failed, see Section 4.2.7.
3.9 Three Phase Auto-reclosing
This relay will initiate auto-recloser for fault clearances by the phase overcurrent, earth fault
protections. An auto-reclose cycle can be internally initiated by operation of a protection element
or externally by a separate protection device, provided the circuit breaker is closed until the instant
of protection operation. At the end of the relevant dead time, a CB close signal is given, provided
system conditions are suitable. The system conditions to be met for closing are that the system
voltages are in synchronism or dead line/live bus or live line/dead bus conditions exist, indicated
by the internal check synchronizing element. The CB close signal is cut-off when the circuit
breaker closes.
When the CB is closed, the reclaim timer starts. If the circuit breaker does not trip again, the
auto-reclose function resets at the end of the reclaim time. If the protection operates during the
reclaim time the relay either advances to the next shot in the programmed auto-reclose cycle, or, if
all programmed reclose attempts have been made, goes to lockout.

3.9.1 Auto-recloser Reclaim Conditions

When the auto-reclosing element is enabled, if all the following conditions are satisfied in normal
operation case, the auto-reclosing element will be in service automatically after 15 seconds.

3 Operation Theory
1. The auxiliary normal close contact of the circuit breaker (BI_52b) status is “0”; it means that
the circuit breaker is closed.
2. Any operation element is not in startup status; i.e. the fault detector doesn’t pick up.
3. The auto-recloser external blocking binary input [EBI_Lockout] is “0”; i.e. there isn’t an
external blocking signal.
4. The circuit breaker spring uncharged signal binary input [BI_Uncharged] is “0”; i.e. the circuit
breaker is ready for reclosing.
If the auto-reclosing element is in service, the state of the virtual binary input [VBI_Ready_AR] (in
submenu “OPR STATE”) will be “1”.
3.9.2 Auto-recloser Startup Condition

The startup condition of the auto-reclosing element is that one of the protective elements of this
relay is tripped.
The auto-reclosing startup logic diagram is shown in Figure 3.9-1. To prevent the auto-reclosing
startup element from unwanted operation, this relay takes the current measurands into account.
Only when the circuit has tripped absolutely, the auto-reclosing will be put into service.
3.9.3 Blocking Logic

After the auto-reclosing element being put into service successfully, if anyone of the following
cases occurs at anytime in normal operation case, the relay will block the auto-reclosing element
automatically at once.
1. Open the circuit breaker by manual tripping.
2. Open the circuit breaker by remote tripping.
3. The auto-recloser external blocking binary input [EBI_Lockout] is “1”; i.e. there is an external
blocking signal.
4. The circuit breaker spring uncharged signal binary input [BI_Uncharged] is “1”; i.e. the circuit
breaker is not ready for reclosing.
5. The thermal overload protection has operated successfully.
6. The negative sequence overcurrent protection has operated successfully.
7. The broken conductor protection has operated successfully.
8. The breaker failure protection has operated successfully.
9. The undervoltage protection has operated successfully.
10. The overvoltage protection has operated successfully.
11. The last auto-reclosing command has issued successfully.
If the auto-reclosing element isn’t in service, the state of the virtual binary input [VBI_Ready_AR]
(in submenu “OPR STATE”) will be “0”.

3 Operation Theory

4 Supervision, Metering and Control
4.1 Overview
Though the protection system is in non-operating state under normal conditions, it is waiting for a
power system fault to occur at any time and must operate for the fault without fail. When the
equipment is in energizing process before the LED “HEALTHY” is on, the equipment needs to be
checked to ensure there are no errors. Therefore, the automatic supervision function, which
checks the health of the protection system when startup and during normal operation, plays an
important role.
The numerical relay based on the microprocessor operations is suitable for implementing this
automatic supervision function of the protection system.
In case a fatal fault is detected during automatic supervision, the equipment will be blocked out. It
means that relay is out of service. Therefore you must re-energize the relay or even replace a
module to make relay back into service.
The relay also provides some auxiliary functions, such as disturbance data record, on-line data
metering, remote control function etc. All these make the relay meet the demands of the modern
industry requirements.
4.2 Relay Self-supervision
4.2.1 Relay Hardware Supervision

The RAM, ROM, DC/DC and A/D elements on the CPU module are monitored to ensure whether
they are damaged or have some errors. If any one of them is detected damaged or having error,
the equipment will be blocked and issues a relevant alarm signal. The LED indicator “HEALTHY”
will be extinguished.
4.2.2 Setting Supervision

The settings are checked to ensure them to be correct and not to be modified. If the settings are
checked to have any error in them, the alarm signal [Alm_Setting] will be issued and this
equipment will be blocked at the same time. The LED indicator “HEALTHY” will be extinguished.
4.2.3 Control Circuit Supervision

This device can detect the trip circuit and the close circuit respectively. If the trip circuit failure
occurs, this device will issue the alarm signal [Alm_TCS] ([Opt_CBType] = “0”) or [Alm_TCS1]
([Opt_CBType] = “1”) 0.5s later; and if the close circuit failure occurs, this device will issue the
alarm signal [Alm_CCS] ([Opt_CBType] = “0”) or [Alm_TCS2] ([Opt_CBType] = “1”) 0.5s later. The
LED indicator “ALARM” will be lit at the same time when this device issues anyone of the control
circuit failure signals.

4.2.4 Tripped Position Contact Supervision

If the relay detects that the tripped auxiliary contact position of the circuit breaker is on, i.e., the
value of [BI_52b] is “1” in the submenu “BI STATE”, meanwhile any phase current is greater than
0.06In, and this condition lasts longer than 10 seconds, the alarm signal [Alm_52b] will be issued
and the LED indicator “ALARM” will be lit.
4.2.5 Uncharged Binary Input Supervision

When circuit breaker spring mechanism is uncharged it will issue an uncharged signal. If the relay
detects the uncharged binary input is on, the relay will issue the alarm signal [Alm_Uncharged]
when the preset time has elapsed and the LED indicator “ALARM” will be lit. It means that the
circuit breaker is not ready for operation.
4.2.6 CT Failure Supervision

The main purpose of the current transformer (CT) circuit failure supervision function is to detect
faults in the secondary circuits of CT and avoid influence on the operation of corresponding
protection functions. This CT failure supervision function will be processed all the time, whether
general fault detection picks up or not.
The criteria of CTS element are:
(1) 3I0 > 0.04×In + 0.25×Imax (“I0” is self-calculated)
(2) Imax > 0.04×In
In normal operation program of this relay, if the above two conditions are met, the alarm signal
[Alm_CTS] will be issued and the LED indicator “ALARM” will be lit.
In case the CT circuit is in failure, relevant protection elements will not be blocked.
4.2.7 VT Failure Supervision

The voltage transformer supervision (VTS) feature is used to detect failure of the AC voltage
inputs to the relay.
The VTS logic in the relay is designed to detect the voltage failure and automatically adjust the
configuration of protective elements whose stability would otherwise be compromised. A time
delay alarm output is also available.
The logic diagram of the VTS element is shown as below:
Figure 4.2-1 Logical diagram of the VTS element

Where:
“Un” is the rated secondary voltage;
“In” is the rated secondary current;
“U1” is the positive sequence voltage;
“U2” is the negative sequence voltage;
“Imax” is the maximum phase current;
“Umax” is the maximum voltage;
[En_VTSBlkUV] is the logic setting of the VTS blocking undervoltage protection.
In normal operation program of this relay, if anyone of the above two conditions is met, the alarm
signal [Alm_VTS] will be issued 10s later, and the LED indicator “ALARM” will be lit.
In case the VT circuit is failed, the relevant protection element will be blocked, if the corresponding
setting is enabled (set as “1”).
4.3 Metering
The relay produces a variety of both directly and calculated power system quantities. These
measurement values are updated on a per second basis.
The measurands include Ia, Ib, Ic, I0, Ua, Ub, Uc, U0, Uab, Ubc, Uca, f, P, Q, and COSΦ etc.
These measurands are gotten by real-time calculation and real-time summation locally. This
calculation is independent with network.
All these measurands also can transmit to the SAS or RTU through communication. More
information about the communication and protocols, see Chapter 8 “Communication”.
4.4 Remote Control
The relay can receive the remote control commands to trip or close the circuit breaker.
Before executing a telecontrol command, it is necessary to put the telecontrol handle at the
“Remote” position and make the value of [BI_CtrlMode] as “1” in the submenu “BI STATE”.
The remote control commands include remote tripping command, remote closing command. More
information about the communication and protocols, see Chapter 8 “Communication”.

5 Hardware Description
5.1 Overview
The modular design of this device allows the relay to be easily upgraded or repaired by a qualified
service person. The faceplate is hinged to allow easy access to the configurable modules, and
back-plugging structure design makes it easy to repair or replace any modules.
There are several types of hardware modules in this device; each module takes a different part in
this device. This device mainly consists of PWR module, CPU module, AI module, EXT module
and HMI module. Following figure shows the hardware block diagram of this device.
Figure 5.1-1 Hardware block diagram
The following two figures show the front panel and the rear panel of this device.

5.2 AI Module
The AI module is an analog input unit. It contains four current transformers. It can transform these
high AC input values to relevant low AC output value, which are suited to the analog inputs of the
CPU module. The transformers are used both to step-down the currents to levels appropriate to
the relay’s electronic circuitry and to provide effective isolation between the relay and the power
system. A low pass filter circuit is connected to each transformer secondary circuit for reducing the
noise of each analog AC input signal.
NOTE: The rated value of the input current transformer is optional: 1A or 5A. The rated
value of the CT must be definitely declared in the technical scheme and the contract.
NOTE: Because the rated value of the input current transformer is optional, it is
necessary to check that whether the rated values of the current transformer inputs are
accordant to the demand of the practical engineering before putting the device into
operation.
A 24-pin connector is fixed on the front of the AI module. The terminal definition of the connector is
described as below.

DANGER: Never allow the current transformer (CT) secondary circuit connected to this
relay to be opened while the primary system is live. Opening the CT circuit will produce a
dangerously high voltage. If this safety precaution is disregarded, personal death, severe
personal injury or considerable equipment damage will occur.
5.3 CPU Module
The CPU module is the kernel part of this equipment, and contains a powerful microchip processor
and some necessary electronic elements. This powerful processor performs all of the functions for
the relay: the protection functions, the communication management functions. There are several
A/D conversion circuits on this module, which are used to convert the AC analog signals to
corresponding DC signals for fulfilling the demand of the electrical level standard. A high-accuracy
clock chip is contained in this module, it provide accurate current time for the PCS-9691E.
It also contains 8 programmable binary inputs and 2 RS-485 standardized communication ports.
The functional details of the CPU module are listed as below:
z Protection calculations
The CPU module can calculate protective elements (such as overcurrent element, zero
sequence overcurrent etc.) based on the analog inputs and binary inputs, and then decides
that whether the device need to trip or reclose.
z Communication management
The CPU module can effectively manage the communication procedure, and reliably send out

some useful information through its communication ports. Two RS-485 serial interfaces for
SAS or RTU are contained in this module. If an event is occurred (such as SOE, protective
tripping event etc.), this module will send out the relevant event information through these
interfaces to SAS or RTU.
z Auxiliary calculations
Basing on the analog inputs, the CPU module also can calculate out the measurement values.
All these values can be sent to a SAS or a RTU through the communication interfaces.
A 22-pin connector is fixed on the front of the CPU module. The terminal definition of the connector
is described as below.

implications are listed in following table.
Abbreviation Implication
TBJ Tripping seal-in relay
HBJ Closing seal-in relay
TJ Tripping relay
HJ Closing relay
z Closing Circuit
Closing signal is one of the following signals: remote closing signal, protection closing signal,
closing binary input [BI_CtrlCls] signal or front panel “CLOSE” button closing signal.
When the closing signal binary input contact is closed, the closing relay “HJ” is energized; and
then the closing seal-in relay “HBJ” is energized. The closing seal-in relay “HBJ” pickup
current is adaptive to the closing current in the range of 0.5A~4.0A.
Even if closing signal disappears, the normal open contact of the relay “HBJ” will keep closing
to maintain closing circuits working until the circuit breaker is closed successfully and the
auxiliary contact of circuit breaker (52b) is open.
z Trip Circuit
Tripping signal is one of the following signals: remote tripping signal, protection tripping signal,
tripping binary input [BI_CtrlTrp] signal or front panel “TRIP” button tripping signal.
When the tripping signal binary input contact is closed, the tripping relay “TJ” is energized;
and then the tripping seal-in relay “TBJ” is energized. The tripping seal-in relay “TBJ” pickup
current is adaptive to the closing current in the range of 0.5A~4.0A.
Even if tripping signal disappears, the normal open contact of the relay “TBJ” will keep closing
to maintain tripping circuits working until the circuit breaker is tripped successfully and the
auxiliary contact of circuit breaker (52a) is open.
z Closing Coil Supervision
(1) The circuit breaker is closed. If the closing coil is healthy, this device can detect the “0”
state of the “CCS1” and the “1” state of the “CCS2”; otherwise the relay can detect the “0”
state of the “CCS1” and the “0” state of the “CCS2”.
(2) The circuit breaker is opened. If the closing coil is healthy, this device can detect the “1”
state of the “CCS1” and the “0” state of the “CCS2”; otherwise the relay can detect the “0”
state of the “CCS1” and the “0” state of the “CCS2”.
z Tripping Coil Supervision
(1) The circuit breaker is closed. If the tripping coil is healthy, this device can detect the “1”
state of the “TCS1” and the “0” state of the “TCS2”; otherwise the relay can detect the “0”
state of the “TCS1” and the “0” state of the “TCS2”.
(2) The circuit breaker is opened. If the tripping coil is healthy, this device can detect the “0”

state of the “TCS1” and the “1” state of the “TCS2”; otherwise the relay can detect the “0”
state of the “TCS1” and the “0” state of the “TCS2”.
NOTE: The pulse width of the closing relay “HJ” and the tripping relay “TJ” is 1000ms. If
this device detects the circuit breaker is operated successfully according to the command
of this device in the pulse width range, the closing relay “HJ” or the tripping relay “TJ” will
be restored immediately.

The menu structure contains two levels of access. The level of access is enabled determines what
users can do by entry of password. The levels of access are summarized in the following table:
Access level Operations enabled

Level 0 Read all the menus and delete the history reports.
Read all the menus and delete the history reports, modify the settings,
Level 1 modify the clock, and close or open the circuit breaker through the
front panel.
The Level 0 password is 3-digit number, and its default value is “111”. It can be set through the
setting [Password] in submenu “EQUIP SETUP”. If it is set as “000”, the operation with Level 0

password does not need the password, and the Level 0 password input interface is hidden.
The Level 1 password is 3-digit number too, and it can be calculated according to the following
formula based on the current clock of this device.
Level 1 Password = (The ones place of the current hour number + 5)2
For example, the current clock of this device is “17:43:25”, so the current Level 1 password is 144
((7+5)2 = 144).
The password will be valid for one minute if the last inputted password is correct; and the
password will be invalid if there has no keypad operation in one minute.
The password input interface is shown as below.

7 Settings
settings according to actual conditions.
2. The setting [Cfg_EBIx] (x: 1~4) is used to configure the corresponding enabling binary input
[EBI_x] (x: 1~4). If the enabling binary input of a protective element is define in more than one
setting [Cfg_EBIx] (x: 1~4), if any corresponding binary input [EBI_x] (x: 1~4) (if defined) is not
energized, the relevant protective element is blocked.
3. If the setting [Opt_TctrlMode] is set as “0”, when the binary input [BI_CtrlMode] is “1”, the
binary input [BI_CtrlCls] and [BI_CtrlTrp] are invalid, when the binary input [BI_CtrlMode] is
“0”, the binary input [BI_CtrlCls] and [BI_CtrlTrp] are valid. If the setting [Opt_TctrlMode] is set
as “1”, the situation is opposite to the former description.
4. If the setting [En_Blk_HMICtrl] is set as “1”, the button on the front panel for tripping or closing
the circuit breaker is invalid.
5. If the setting [Opt_V_Input] is set as “0”, the phase voltages are input to this device; and if it is
set as “1”, the phase-to-phase voltages are input to this device.
6. The setting [Opt_CBType] is used for deciding the type of a circuit breaker which are
controlled by this devcie. If the setting [Opt_CBType] is set as “0”, the circuit breaker is a
circuit breaker with an independent closing coil and an independent tripping coil; and if it is set
as “1”, the circuit breaker is a circuit with two independent tripping coils.
7. The binary input “BI_1” to “BI_10” can be defined according the demand of the practical
engineering. If a binary input need to be reversed, the corresponding bit in the setting
[Cfg_RevBI] need to be set as “1”.
8. According the demand of the practical engineering, any LED indicator and any programmable
binary output can be defined as a special signal indicator. The signal “TrpLog” means the
tripping instantaneous signal; the signal “TrpLog_Hold” means the tripping holding signal; and
the signal “TrpLog_I_Hold” means the tripping signal with load current detection.

8.1 General
This section outlines the remote data communication interfaces of this device. This device
supports several protocols: IEC60870-5-103, Modbus, DNP3.0 or “RCS-PC”. Setting the relevant
communication parameter can select the expected protocol (see Section 7.2).
The two rear EIA RS-485 standardized interfaces are isolated, and are suitable for permanent
connection whichever protocol is selected. The advantage of this type of connection is that up to
32 devices can be “daisy chained” together using a simple twisted pair electrical connection.
It should be noted that the descriptions contained within this section do not aim to fully detail the
protocols themselves. Refer the relevant documentations for the detailed protocol information.
This section serves to describe the specific implementation of the protocols in this device.
8.2 RS-485 Interface
This device provides two RS-485 standardized communication ports in the CPU module. So this
device can communicate with a SCADA system through these RS-485 standardized ports.
The EIA RS-485 two-wire connection provides a half-duplex fully isolated serial connection to the
product. The connection is polarized and whilst the product’s connection diagrams indicate the
polarization of the connection terminals it should be borne in mind that there is no agreed
definition of which terminal is which. If the master is unable to communicate with the product, and
the communication parameters match, then it is possible that the two-wire connection is reversed.
The EIA RS-485 bus must have 120Ω (Ohm) ½ Watt terminating resistors fitted at either end
across the signal wires (see Figure 8.2-1). Some devices may be able to provide the bus
terminating resistors by different connection or configuration arrangements, in which case
separate external components will not be required. However, this product does not provide such a
facility, so if it is located at the bus terminus then an external termination resistor will be required.
Figure 8.2-1 EIA RS-485 bus connection arrangements

8 Communication
The EIA RS-485 standard requires that each device is directly connected to the physical cable that
is the communications bus. Stubs and tees are expressly forbidden, such as star topologies. Loop
bus topologies are not part of the EIA RS-485 standard and are forbidden by it also.
Two-core screened cable is recommended. The specification of the cable will be dependent on the
application, although a multi-strand 0.5mm2 per core is normally adequate. Total cable length must
not exceed 500m. The screen must be continuous and connected to ground at one end, normally
at the master connection point; it is important to avoid circulating currents, especially when the
cable runs between buildings, for both safety and noise reasons.
This product does not provide a signal ground connection. If a signal ground connection is present
in the bus cable then it must be ignored, although it must have continuity for the benefit of other
devices connected to the bus. At no stage must the signal ground be connected to the cables
screen or to the product’s chassis. This is for both safety and noise reasons.
The communication baud rate is 1200bps to 19200bps; see Section 7.2 for more information.
8.3 IEC60870-5-103 Protocol
The IEC60870-5-103 interface over serial port is a master/slave interface with the relay as the
slave device. It is properly developed by NR Electric Co., Ltd.
The relay conforms to compatibility level 2; compatibility level 3 is not supported.
The following IEC60870-5-103 facilities are supported by this interface:
z Initialization (reset)
z Time synchronization
z General interrogation
z Event record extraction
z Cyclic measurements
z General commands
z Disturbance records
8.3.1 Initialization
Whenever this device has been powered up, or if the communication parameters have been
changed, a reset command is required to initialize the communications. The relay will respond to
either of the two reset commands (Reset CU or Reset FCB), the difference is that the Reset CU
will clear any unsent messages in the relay’s transmit buffer.
The relay will respond to the reset command with an identification message ASDU 5, the COT
(Cause Of Transmission) of this response will be either Reset CU or Reset FCB depending on the
nature of the reset command.
In addition to the above identification message, if the relay has been powered up it will also

8 Communication
produce a power up event.
8.3.2 Time Synchronization

The relay time and date can be set using the time synchronization feature of the IEC60870-5-103
protocol. The relay will correct for the transmission delay as specified in IEC60870-5-103. If the
time synchronization message is sent as a send/confirm message then the relay will respond with
a confirmation. Whether the time-synchronization message is sent as a send confirmation or a
broadcast (send/no reply) message, a time synchronization Class 1 event will be generated.
8.3.3 Spontaneous Events

Events are categorized using the following information:
z Type identification (TYP)
z Function type (FUN)
z Information number (INF)
The following table contains a complete listing of all events produced by the relay. For the details
about this events, see relevant sections in Chapter 6 “Human Interface Operation Introduction”.

8.3.4 General Interrogation

The GI can be used to read the status of the relay, the function numbers, and information numbers
that will be returned during the GI cycle. The GI cycle strictly abides by the rules defined in the
IEC60870-5-103.
The relay will respond to this GI command with an ASDU 44 message, the cause of transmission
(COT) of this response is 9.
Referring the IEC60870-5-103 standard can get the enough details about general interrogation.
8.3.5 Cyclic Measurements

The relay will produce measured values using ASDU 50 on a cyclical basis, this can be read from
the relay using a Class 2 poll (note ADSU 3 and ASDU 9 are not used).
The cause of transmission is 2. The rate at which the relay produces new measured values is fixed
(about one second). It should be noted that the measurands transmitted by the relay are sent as a
proportion of corresponding times the rated value of the analog value.

9 Installation
9.1 General
The equipment must be shipped, stored and installed with the greatest care.
Choose the place of installation such that the communication interface and the controls on the
front of the device are easily accessible.
Air must circulate freely around the equipment. Observe all the requirements regarding place of
installation and ambient conditions given in this instruction manual.
Take care that the external wiring is properly brought into the equipment and terminated correctly
and pay special attention to grounding. Strictly observe the corresponding guidelines contained in
this section.
9.2 Safety Instructions
Modules and units may only be replaced by correspondingly trained personnel. Always observe
the basic precautions to avoid damage due to electrostatic discharge when handling the
equipment.
In certain cases, the settings have to be configured according to the demands of the engineering
configuration after replacement. It is therefore assumed that the personnel who replace modules
and units are familiar with the use of the operator program on the service PC.
DANGER: Only insert or withdraw the PWR module while the power supply is switched
off. To this end, disconnect the power supply cable that connects with the PWR module.
WARNING: Only insert or withdraw the other boards while the power supply is switched
off.
WARNING: The modules of this relay may only be inserted in the slots designated in

9.7 Electrical Installation and Wiring
9.7.1 Grounding Guidelines

Switching operations in HV installations generate transient over voltages on control signal cables.
There is also a background of electromagnetic RF fields in electrical installations that can induce
spurious currents in the devices themselves or the leads connected to them.
All these influences can influence the operation of electronic apparatus.
On the other hand, electronic apparatus can transmit interference that can disrupt the operation of
other apparatus.
In order to minimize these influences as far as possible, certain standards have to be observed
with respect to grounding, wiring and screening.
NOTE: All these precautions can only be effective if the station ground is of good quality.
9.7.2 Cubicle Grounding

The cubicle must be designed and fitted out such that the impedance for RF interference of the

9 Installation
ground path from the electronic device to the cubicle ground terminal is as low as possible.
Metal accessories such as side plates, blanking plates etc., must be effectively connected
surface-to-surface to the grounded frame to ensure a low-impedance path to ground for RF
interference. The contact surfaces must not only conduct well, they must also be non-corroding.
NOTE: If the above conditions are not fulfilled, there is a possibility of the cubicle or parts
of it forming a resonant circuit at certain frequencies that would amplify the transmission
of interference by the devices installed and also reduce their immunity to induced
interference.
Movable parts of the cubicle such as doors (front and back) or hinged equipment frames must be
effectively grounded to the frame by three braided copper strips (see Figure 9.7-1).
The metal parts of the cubicle housing and the ground rail are interconnected electrically
conducting and corrosion proof. The contact surfaces shall be as large as possible.
NOTE: For metallic connections please observe the voltage difference of both materials
according to the electrochemical code.
The cubicle ground rail must be effectively connected to the station ground rail by a grounding strip
(braided copper).
Figure 9.7-1 Cubicle grounding system
9.7.3 Ground Connection on the Device

There is a ground terminal on the rear panel (see Figure 9.7-2), and the ground braided copper
strip can be connected with it. Take care that the grounding strip is always as short as possible.
The main thing is that the device is only grounded at one point. Grounding loops from unit to unit
are not allowed.
There are some ground terminals on some connectors of the PCS-9691E, and the sign is “GND”.
All the ground terminals are connected in the cabinet of this relay. So, the ground terminal on the

9 Installation
rear panel (see Figure 9.7-2) is the only ground terminal of this device.
Figure 9.7-2 Ground terminal of the PCS-9691E
9.7.4 Grounding Strips and their Installation

High frequency currents are produced by interference in the ground connections and because of
skin effect at these frequencies, only the surface region of the grounding strips is of consequence.
The grounding strips must therefore be of (preferably tinned) braided copper and not round copper
conductors, as the cross-section of round copper would have to be too large.
Data of braided copper strip: threaded M4, 4.0mm2.
Proper terminations must be fitted to both ends (press/pinch fit and tinned) with a hole for bolting
them firmly to the items to be connected.
The surfaces to which the grounding strips are bolted must be electrically conducting and
non-corroding.
The following figure shows the ground strip and termination.
Figure 9.7-3 Ground strip and termination
9.7.5 Guidelines for Wiring

There are several types of cables that are used in the connection of PCS-9691E: braided copper
cable, serial communication cable.
Recommendation of each cable:
z Grounding: braided copper cable, threaded M4, 4.0mm2
z Serial communication: 4-core shielded braided cable
z Power supply, Binary Output: brained copper cable, 1.5mm2

9.7.6 Wiring for Electrical Cables

A female connector is used for connecting the wires with it, and then a female connector plugs into
a corresponding male connector that is in the front of one board. For further details about the pin
defines of these connectors, see Chapter 5 “Hardware Description”.
The following figure shows the glancing demo about the wiring for the electrical cables.
Figure 9.7-4 Glancing demo about the wiring for electrical cables
WARNING: Never allow the current transformer (CT) secondary circuit connected to this
equipment to be opened while the primary system is live. Opening the CT circuit will
produce a dangerously high voltage.
9.8 Typical Wiring of the Relay
Relevant information and sections about the modules and the connectors of this device are
described in Chapter 5. Referring the relevant sections can help to wire correctly and effectively.
z The power supply can be DC or AC power supply input. In Figure 9.8-1, if the DC power
supply is applied, the “A~” is the positive input (PS+), and the “N~” is the negative input (PS-).
z The closing circuit must be in series with an auxiliary normal close contact of the CB, and the
tripping circuit must be in series with an auxiliary normal open contact of the CB; these
methods can avoid the closing coil (CC) and tripping coil (TC) to be damaged.
z The “BI_1” to “BI_10” are the programmable binary inputs of this device, and each binary
input can be defined respectively. See Section 7.3 for more information about the binary input
definition. The default definition of these programmable binary inputs in the manufacture
factory is applied in Figure 9.8-1. The binary input rated voltage must be definitely declared in
the technical scheme and the contract.
z The “BO1” to “BO4” are the programmable binary outputs of this device, and each binary
output can be defined respectively. See Section 7.3 for more information about the binary
output definition.

10 Commissioning
10 Commissioning
10.1 General
This relay is fully numerical in their design, implementing all protection and non-protection
functions in software. The relay employ a high degree of self-checking and in the unlikely event of
a failure, will give an alarm. As a result of this, the commissioning test does not need to be as
extensive as with non-numeric electronic or electro-mechanical relays.
To commission numerical relays, it is only necessary to verify that the hardware is functioning
correctly and the application-specific software settings have been applied to the relay.
Blank commissioning test and setting records are provided at the end of this manual for
completion as required.
Before carrying out any work on the equipment, the user should be familiar with the contents of the
safety and technical data sections and the ratings on the equipment’s rating label.
10.2 Safety Instructions
WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present in this electrical equipment during operation.
Non-observance of the safety rules can result in severe personal injury or property
damage.
WARNING: Only qualified personnel shall work on and around this equipment after
becoming thoroughly familiar with all warnings and safety notices of this manual as well
as with the applicable safety regulations.
Particular attention must be drawn to the following:
z The earthing screw of the device must be connected solidly to the protective earth conductor
before any other electrical connection is made.
z Hazardous voltages can be present on all circuits and components connected to the supply
voltage or to the measuring and test quantities.
z Hazardous voltages can be present in the device even after disconnection of the supply
voltage (storage capacitors!).
z The limit values stated in the technical data (Chapter 2) must not be exceeded at all, not even
during testing and commissioning.
z When testing the device with secondary test equipment, make sure that no other
measurement quantities are connected. Take also into consideration that the trip circuits and
maybe also close commands to the circuit breakers and other primary switches are

10 Commissioning
disconnected from the device unless expressly stated.
DANGER: Current transformer secondary circuits must have been short-circuited before
the current leads to the device are disconnected.
WARNING: Primary test may only be carried out by qualified personnel, who are familiar
with the commissioning of protection system, the operation of the plant and safety rules
and regulations (switching, earthing, etc.).
10.3 Commission Tools
Minimum equipment required:
z Multifunctional dynamic current and voltage injection test set with interval timer.
z Multimeter with suitable AC current range and AC/DC voltage ranges of 0 ~ 500V and 0 ~
250V respectively.
z Continuity tester (if not included in the multimeter).
z Phase angle meter.
z Phase rotation meter.
NOTE: Modern test set may contain many of the above features in one unit.
Optional equipment:
z An electronic or brushless insulation tester with a DC output not exceeding 500V (for
insulation resistance test when required).
z A portable PC, with appropriate software (this enables the rear communications port to be
tested, if this is to be used, and will also save considerable time during commissioning).
z EIA RS-485 to EIA RS-232 converter (if communication port and relevant protocol need to be
tested).
10.4 Setting Familiarization
When commissioning a PCS-9691E relay for the first time, sufficient time should be allowed to
become familiar with the method by which the settings are applied. The Chapter 6 contains a
detailed description of the menu structure of this relay.
With the front cover in place all keys are accessible. All menu cells can be read. LED indicators
and alarms can be reset. Protection or configuration settings can be changed, or fault and event
records cleared. However, menu cells will require the appropriate password to be entered before
changes can be made.

10 Commissioning
Alternatively, if a portable PC is available together with suitable setting software “RCS-PC”, the
menu can be viewed a page at a time to display a full column of data and text. This PC software
also allows settings to be entered more easily, saved to a file on disk for future reference or printed
to produce a setting record. Refer to the “RCS-PC” software user manual for details. If the
software is being used for the first time, allow sufficient time to become familiar with its operation.
10.5 Product Checks
These product checks cover all aspects of the relay which should be checked to ensure that it has
not been physically damaged prior to commissioning, is functioning correctly and all input quantity
measurements are within the stated tolerances.
If the application-specific settings have been applied to the relay prior to commissioning, it is
advisable to make a copy of the settings so as to allow them restoration later. This could be done
by extracting the settings from the relay itself via printer or manually creating a setting record.
10.5.1 With the Relay De-energized

steel sheet.
z Switch, keypad, isolator binary inputs and push button
Check whether all the switches, equipment keypad, isolator binary inputs and push buttons
work normally and smoothly.
10.5.1.2 Insulation Test (if required)
Insulation resistance tests are only necessary during commissioning if it is required for them to be
done and they have not been performed during installation.
Isolate all wiring from the earth and test the isolation with an electronic or brushless insulation
tester at a DC voltage not exceeding 500V, The circuits need to be tested should include:
z Current transformer circuits

10 Commissioning
z Power supply
z Optic-isolated control inputs
z Output contacts
z Communication ports
The insulation resistance should be greater than 100MΩ at 500V.

To unplug all the terminals sockets of this relay, and do the Insulation resistance test for each
circuit above with an electronic or brushless insulation tester.
On completion of the insulation resistance tests, ensure all external wiring is correctly reconnected
to the protection
10.5.1.3 External Wiring
Check that the external wiring is correct to the relevant relay diagram and scheme diagram.
Ensure as far as practical that phasing/phase rotation appears to be as expected.
Check the wiring against the schematic diagram for the installation to ensure compliance with the
customer’s normal practice.
10.5.1.4 Auxiliary Supply
The relay can be operated with the power supply voltage 30Vac, 110Vdc, 220Vdc, 110Vac or
220Vac auxiliary supply depending on the relay’s nominal supply rating. The incoming voltage
must be within the operating range specified in Chapter 2, before energizing the relay, measure
the auxiliary supply to ensure it within the operating range.
10.5.2 With the Relay Energized

The following groups of checks verify that the relay hardware and software is functioning correctly
and should be carried out with the auxiliary supply applied to the relay.
The current and voltage transformer connections must remain isolated from the relay for these
checks. The trip circuit should also remain isolated to prevent accidental operation of the
associated circuit breaker.
10.5.2.1 Check Program Version
Connect the relay to power supply correctly and turn the relay on. Check program version and
forming time displayed in command menu to ensure that are corresponding to what ordered.
The liquid crystal display (LCD) is designed to operate in a wide range of substation ambient
temperatures. For this purpose, this relay has an automatic “LCD contrast” adjusting feature,
which is capable to adjust LCD contrast automatically according to the ambient temperature.
10.5.2.2 Check Date and Time
If the time and date is not being maintained by substation automation system, the date and time

10 Commissioning
should be set manually.
Set the date and time to the correct local time and date using menu item “CLOCK”.
In the event of the auxiliary supply failing, with a battery fitted on CPU board, the time and date will
be maintained. Therefore when the auxiliary supply is restored the time and date will be correct
and not need to set again.
To test this, remove the auxiliary supply from the relay for approximately 30s. After being
re-energized, the time and date should be correct.
10.5.2.3 Check the LEDs
z “HEALTHY” LED
In normal operation situation, the “HEALTHY” LED is on. If a fatal error which is described in
Section 6.3.3 occurs in this device, the “HEALTHY” LED will be off.
z “ALARM” LED
In normal operation situation, the “ALARM” LED is off. If an error which is described in
Section 6.3.3 occurs in this device, the “ALARM” LED will be on. So simulate the abnormality
in Section 6.3.3 to check the “ALARM” LED.
z “TRIP” LED
The “TRIP” LED can be tested by initiating a manual circuit breaker trip from the relay.
However the “TRIP” LED will operate during the protective function checks (performed later).
Therefore no further testing of the “TRIP” LED is required at this stage.
z “CB STATE” LED
The “CB STATE” LED is used to denote the circuit breaker position state. When the CB is
closed, the “CB STATE” LED is on; otherwise, the “CB STATE” LED is off.
z Other LEDs
The “LED1” to “LED4” can be defined as various signal output indicators, so define all the
LEDs as the same function, and then simulate the relevant signal to check this LEDs.
10.5.2.4 Testing the AC Current Inputs
This test verified that the accuracy of current measurement is within the acceptable tolerances.
Apply current equal to the current transformer secondary winding rating to each current
transformer input of the corresponding rating in turn, see the following table or external connection
diagram for appropriate terminal numbers, checking its magnitude using a multimeter/test set
readout. The corresponding reading can then be checked in the relays menu.
The current measurement accuracy of the relay is ±2.0% or 0.01In, whichever is greater. However

The objectives of the on-load checks are:
z Confirm the external wiring to the current inputs is correct.
z Measure the magnitude of on-load current (if applicable).

10 Commissioning
z Check the polarity of each current transformer.
However, these checks can only be carried out if there are no restrictions preventing the
tenderization of the plant being protected.
Remove all test leads, temporary shorting leads, etc. and replace any external wiring that has
been removed to allow testing.
If it has been necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the protection in order to
perform any of the foregoing tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in
accordance with the relevant external connection or scheme diagram. Confirm the current
transformer wiring.
10.5.5 Final Checks

After the above tests are completed, remove all test or temporary shorting leads, etc. If it has been
necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the protection in order to perform the
wiring verification tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in accordance with
the relevant external connection or scheme diagram.
Ensure that the protection has been restored to service.
If the protection is in a new installation or the circuit breaker has just been maintained, the circuit
breaker maintenance and current counters should be zero. If a test block is installed, remove the
test plug and replace the cover so that the protection is put into service.
Ensure that all event records, fault records, disturbance records and alarms have been cleared
and LED’s has been reset before leaving the protection.

11 Maintenance
11 Maintenance
11.1 Maintenance Schedule
It is recommended that products supplied by NR receive periodic monitoring after installation. In

view of the critical nature of protective relays and their infrequent operation, it is desirable to
confirm that they are operating correctly at regular intervals.
This relays are self-supervised and so require less maintenance than earlier designs of relay. Most
problems will result in an alarm so that remedial action can be taken. However, some periodic
tests should be done to ensure that the relay is functioning correctly and the external wiring is
intact.
11.2 Regular Testing
The relay is almost completely self-supervised. The circuits which can not be supervised are
binary input, output circuits and human machine interfaces. Therefore regular testing can be
minimized to checking the unsupervised circuits.
11.3 Failure Tracing and Repair
Failures will be detected by automatic supervision or regular testing.
When a failure is detected by supervision, a remote alarm is issued and the failure is indicated on
the front panel with LED indicators and LCD display. It is also recorded in the alarm record.
Failures detected by supervision are traced by checking the “ALM REPORT” screen on the LCD.
See Section 6.3.3 “Display under Abnormal Condition” for the details of the alarm events.
When a failure is detected during regular testing, confirm the following:
z Test circuit connections are correct
z Modules are securely inserted in position
z Correct power supply voltage is applied
z Correct AC inputs are applied
z Test procedures comply with those stated in the manual
11.4 Replace Failed Modules
If the failure is identified to be in the relay module and the user has spare modules, the user can
recover the protection by replacing the failed modules.

11 Maintenance
Repair at the site should be limited to module replacement. Maintenance at the component level is
not recommended.
Check that the replacement module has an identical module name (AI, PWR, CPU and EXT) and
hardware type-form as the removed module. Furthermore, the CPU module replaced should have
the same software version. And the AI and PWR module replaced should have the same ratings.
WARNING: Units and modules may only be replaced while the supply is switched off and
only by appropriately trained and qualified personnel. Strictly observe the basic
precautions to guard against electrostatic discharge.
WARNING: When handling a module, take anti-static measures such as wearing an
earthed wrist band and placing modules on an earthed conductive mat. Otherwise, many
of the electronic components could suffer damage. After replacing the CPU module,
check the settings.
DANGER: After replacing modules, be sure to check that the same configuration is set
as before the replacement. If this is not the case, there is a danger of the unintended
operation of switchgear taking place or of protections not functioning correctly. Persons
may also be put in danger.

12 Decommissioning and Disposal
12.1 Decommissioning
12.1.1 Switching off

To switch off the PCS-9691E, switch off the external miniature circuit breaker of the power supply.
12.1.2 Disconnecting cables

Disconnect the cables in accordance with the rules and recommendations made by relational
department.
DANGER: Before disconnecting the power supply cables that connected with the PWR
module of the PCS-9691E, make sure that the external miniature circuit breaker of the
power supply is switched off.
DANGER: Before disconnecting the cables that are used to connect analog input module
with the primary current transformers, make sure that the circuit breaker for the primary
current transformers is switched off.
12.1.3 Dismantling
The PCS-9691E rack may now be removed from the system cubicle, after which the cubicles may
also be removed.
DANGER: When the station is in operation, make sure that there is an adequate safety
distance to live parts, especially as dismantling is often performed by unskilled personnel.
12.2 Disposal
In every country there are companies specialized in the proper disposal of electronic waste.
NOTE: Strictly observe all local and national regulations when disposing of the device.
