2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1INTRODUCTION
The T60 Transformer Protection System is a microprocessor-based relay for protection of small, medium, and large three-
phase power transformers. The relay can be configured with a maximum of six three-phase current inputs and six ground
current inputs, and can satisfy applications with transformer windings connected between two breakers, such as in a ring
bus or in breaker-and-a-half configurations. The T60 performs magnitude and phase shift compensation internally, eliminat-
ing requirements for external CT connections and auxiliary CTs.
The percent differential element is the main protection device in the T60. Instantaneous differential protection, volts-per-
hertz, restricted ground fault, and many current, voltage, and frequency-based protection elements are also incorporated.
The T60 includes sixteen fully programmable universal comparators, or FlexElements™, that provide additional flexibility
by allowing the user to customize their own protection functions that respond to any signals measured or calculated by the
relay.
The metering functions of the T60 include true RMS and phasors for currents and voltages, current harmonics and THD,
symmetrical components, frequency, power, power factor, and energy.
Diagnostic features include an event recorder capable of storing 1024 time-tagged events, oscillography capable of storing
up to 64 records with programmable trigger, content and sampling rate, and data logger acquisition of up to 16 channels,
with programmable content and sampling rate. The internal clock used for time-tagging can be synchronized with an IRIG-
B signal, using the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) over the Ethernet port, or using the Precision Time Protocol
(PTP). This precise time stamping allows the sequence of events to be determined throughout the system. Events can also
be programmed (via FlexLogic™ equations) to trigger oscillography data capture which may be set to record the measured
parameters before and after the event for viewing on a personal computer (PC). These tools significantly reduce trouble-
shooting time and simplify report generation in the event of a system fault.
Several options are available for communication. A faceplate RS232 port can be used to connect to a computer for the pro-
gramming of settings and the monitoring of actual values. The RS232 port has a fixed baud rate of 19.2 kbps. The rear
RS485 port allows independent access by operating and engineering staff. It can be connected to system computers with
baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. All serial ports use the Modbus RTU protocol. The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is supported on
the RS485 interface. IEC 60870-5-103, DNP, and Modbus cannot be enabled simultaneously on this interface. Also only
one of the DNP, IEC 60870-5-103, and IEC 60870-5-104 protocols can be enabled at any time on the relay. When the IEC
60870-5-103 protocol is chosen, the RS485 port has a fixed even parity and the baud rate can be either 9.6 kbps or 19.2
kbps. The 100Base-FX or 100Base-T Ethernet interface provides fast, reliable communications in noisy environments. The
Ethernet port supports IEC 61850, IEC 61850-90-5, Modbus/TCP, and TFTP protocols, PTP (according to IEEE Std. 1588-
2008 or IEC 61588), and allows access to the relay via any standard web browser (T60 web pages). The IEC 60870-5-104
protocol is supported on the Ethernet port. The Ethernet port also supports the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) of IEC
62439-3 (clause 4, 2012) when purchased as an option.
Settings and actual values can be accessed from the front panel or EnerVista software.
The T60 IEDs use flash memory technology that allows field upgrading as new features are added.
