Non-volatile memory The relay can be configured to store various data in a non-volatile memory, which retains its data also in case of loss of auxiliary voltage (provided that the battery has been inserted and is charged).
Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 REF 610 1MRS755310 Technical Reference Manual WARNING FAULT CODE: A040280 Fig. 5.1.1.7.-3 Warning with numeric code For fault codes, refer to Section 5.1.18. Self-supervision (IRF) system. 5.1.1.8. Time synchronization Time synchronization of the relay’s real-time clock can be realized in two different ways: via serial communication using a communication protocol or via a digital input.
1MRS755310 Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 REF 610 Technical Reference Manual The pulse length of the digital input signal does not affect time synchronization. If time synchronization messages are received from a communication protocol as well, they have to be synchronized within ±0.5 minutes at minute-pulse or ±0.5 seconds at second-pulse synchronization.

Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 REF 610 1MRS755310 Technical Reference Manual When one or several phase currents exceed the set start value of the low-set stage, I>, the stage will generate a start signal after a ~ 55 ms’ start time. When the set operate time at definite-time characteristic or the calculated operate time at IDMT characteristic elapses, the stage will generate a trip signal.

Local light detection requires the optional arc light detection hardware. The arc protection can be realized as a stand-alone function in a single REF 610 or as a station-wide arc protection including several REF 610 protection relays. If realized as a station-wide arc protection, different tripping schemes can be selected for the operation of the circuit breakers of the incoming and outgoing feeders.
At a permanent fault, auto-reclosing is followed by definite tripping. A permanent fault must be located and cleared before the fault location can be re-energized. The auto-reclose (AR) function of REF 610 can be used with any circuit breaker suitable for auto-reclosing. The AR function provides three programmable auto- reclose shots and can thus be set to perform one to three successive auto-reclosures of desired type and duration, one high-speed and one delayed, for instance.
Page 36
Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 REF 610 1MRS755310 Technical Reference Manual The AR function monitors the position and status of the circuit breaker. Information on the circuit-breaker position is always required whereas circuit-breaker status is optional. For safety reasons, shot initiation is not possible when the circuit breaker is open.
Page 37
1MRS755310 Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 REF 610 Technical Reference Manual If the network fault has still not been cleared, i.e. all selected auto-reclose shots have been unsuccessful, and the protection trips the circuit breaker before expiration of the set reclaim time, the AR function will generate a definite trip alarm. The circuit breaker will now remain open and the AR function will be locked out.

1MRS755310 Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 REF 610 Technical Reference Manual Application examples 6.1. Auto-reclose function 6.1.1. Fast tripping and initiation of shot 1 using two protection stages In several applications, such as fuse-saving applications involving down-stream fuses, tripping and initiation of shot 1 should be fast (instantaneous or short-time delayed) and of shot 2 and 3, and definite tripping time delayed.
An alternative way to achieve fast tripping and shot initiation (typical for certain countries, such as Finland), is to use start signals from protection stages for shot initiation. The AR function of REF 610 can be initiated by the start signals from stages I> and I >.
1MRS755310 Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 REF 610 Technical Reference Manual At the factory default delay of 300 s for AR I> start Delay and AR > start Delay, the start signals will, in practise, not be used for shot initiation. However, if stages I> or I >...
An arc protection with one REF 610 only (see Fig. 6.2.1.-1) is realized by installing two arc lens sensors, connected to the relay protecting the incoming feeder, to detect an arc on the busbar.
6.2.2. Arc protection with several REF 610 relays When using several REF 610 relays (see Fig. 6.2.2.-1), a REF 610 protecting an outgoing feeder will trip the circuit breaker of the outgoing feeder when detecting an arc at the cable terminations. If the REF 610 protecting the outgoing feeder detects an arc on the busbar (via the other lens sensor), however, it will generate a signal to the REF 610 protecting the incoming feeder.
6.2.3. Arc protection with several REF 610 relays and one REA 101 When realizing an arc protection with both REF 610 relays and an REA 101 (see Fig. 6.2.3.-1), the cable terminations of outgoing feeders are protected by REF 610 relays using one lens sensor for each relay.
