Voltage Inputs

Three voltage inputs are provided on the Analogue Input module on the 7SR10 relay.
Voltage is sampled at 1600Hz for both 50Hz and 60Hz system frequencies. Protection and monitoring functions of
the relay use fundamental frequency voltage measurement.
The waveform recorder samples and displays voltage input waveforms at 1600Hz.
The primary VT ratio used for the relay instruments can be set in the CT/VT configuration menu.

2.10 Binary Inputs

The binary inputs are opto-couplers operated from a suitably rated power supply.
Relays are fitted with 3 or 6 or 9 binary inputs (BI) depending on the variant. The user can assign any binary input
to any of the available functions (INPUT CONFIG > INPUT MATRIX).
Pick-up (PU) and Drop-off (DO) time delays are associated with each binary input. Where no pick-up time delay
has been applied the input may pick up due to induced AC voltage on the wiring connections (e.g. cross site
wiring). The default pick-up time of 20 ms provides AC immunity. Each input can be programmed independently.
Each input may be logically inverted to facilitate integration of the relay within the user scheme. When inverted the
relay indicates that the BI is energised when no voltage is applied. Inversion occurs before the PU and DO time
delay.
Each input may be mapped to any front Fascia indication LED and/or to any Binary output contact and can also
be used with the internal user programmable logic. This allows the relay to provide panel indications and alarms.
Each binary input is set by default to be read when the relay is in both the local or remote condition. A setting is
provided to allow the user to select if each individual input shall be read when the relay is in the local or remote
condition in the INPUT CONFIG > BINARY INPUT CONFIG menu.

2.11 Binary Outputs (Output Relays)

Relays are fitted with 3 or 6 binary outputs (BO). All outputs are fully user configurable and can be programmed to
operate from any or all of the available functions.
In the default mode of operation, binary outputs are self reset and remain energised for a user configurable
minimum time of up to 60 s. If required, the outputs can be programmed to operate as 'hand reset' or 'pulsed'. If
the output is programmed to be 'hand reset' and 'pulsed' then the output will be 'hand reset' only.
The binary outputs can be used to operate the trip coils of the circuit breaker directly where the trip coil current
does not exceed the 'make and carry' contact rating. The circuit breaker auxiliary contacts or other in-series
auxiliary device must be used to break the trip coil current.
Any BO can be assigned as a 'Trip Contact' in the OUTPUT CONFIG > TRIP CONFIG menu. Operation of a 'Trip
Contact' will operate any LED or virtual assigned from the 'Trip Triggered feature in the same menu and will
initiate the fault record storage, actuate the 'Trip Alert' screen where enabled and CB Fail protection when
enabled.
