The requirements on MS distribution stations with circuit breakers call for a robust protection relay which is opti- mized accordingly and an integral part of the respective switchboard. The WIC1 is a time over current relay SEG Electronics GmbH has developed specifically for such requirements.
GmbH Technical Manual WIC1 SEG Electronics Product description The WIC1 is a CT-powered protection relay with inverse time and definite time protection characteristics and is specifically designed for switchboards with CBs and small rated output currents. Together the specific CTs and the WIC1 form a joint protective system. A low-energy coil is needed for realizing trip of the CB.
GmbH SEG Electronics Technical Manual WIC1 3. Handling, Installation and Outside Dimensions General information 3.1.1 Upkeep of the relay As a rule protection relays are of robust construction and the WIC1 in particular allows operation under extreme environmental conditions. But despite these facts, the WIC1 should be handled with the necessary care during in- stallation and commissioning.

GmbH Technical Manual WIC1 SEG Electronics 4. Operating instructions General information on the WIC1 All available versions of the WIC1 relay are a high-tech and cost-optimized protection for MV switchboards. Specif- ically in compact switchboards, the WIC1 protection system in combination with a circuit breaker can replace the combination of load-break-switch with HV fuses.
The adjustment can take place by means of PC. For the short-circuit element here a separate password is needed. The factory setting for this password is: seg Figure 4.1: WIC1-1...
GmbH Technical Manual WIC1 SEG Electronics 4.2.2 WIC1-4 When compared to WIC1-1, the WIC1-4 provides an additional operator interface at its front panel. The functionality is the same as for the WIC1-1. Figure 4.2: WIC1-4 Note! For the operating software “WIC-Soft1” a separate description is available.
GmbH SEG Electronics Technical Manual WIC1 4.2.3 WIC1-2 For the relay version WIC1-2 the adjustment of protective functions can be done via DIP switches; there are 4 DIP switches for binary coded setting of one protective parameter. Because there are only 16 steps available for setting the individual protective parameters, scaling is coarser than this is the case with parameter setting via software.
GmbH Technical Manual WIC1 SEG Electronics 4.2.4 WIC1-3 For the relay version WIC1-3 the adjustment of protective functions can be done via HEX switches at the protection relay. Because there are only 16 steps available for setting the individual protective parameters, scaling is coarser than is the case with parameter settings via software.
A worse accuracy can often be accepted for an application without earth current protection so that the WIC1W2AS1 (i.e. without „E“) represents an inexpensive alternative. (For the lowest range 8 – 28 A, however, SEG Electronics GmbH decided for quality reasons to not offer such an alternative.) If a higher accuracy is needed, or in case of a required earth current protection element it is recommended to always use an “E”-type CT (i.e.

For connection to the USB interface of a PC a WIC1-PC3 adapter is needed. Through these adapters the galvanic isolation between protection device and the PC is reached and it supplies the WIC1 with the necessary energy. For communication a proprietary SEG Electronics GmbH protocol is used. SEG Electronics GmbH WIC1PC3 Figure 5.1: WIC1, WIC1PC2 and Notebook...

GmbH Technical Manual WIC1 SEG Electronics Description of the Application 5.10 Foreword As CT-powered protection relay the WIC1 is mainly used in MV switchboards with circuit breakers, protecting dis- tribution transformers in local and industrial networks. Due to its small size the WIC1 is very well suited for the use in compact switchboards.
GmbH SEG Electronics Technical Manual WIC1 5.11 Selection of the CT transformation voltage ratio Selection of the CT suitable for the WIC1 depends on the rated current of the transformer to be protected and is calculated acc. to the following formula:...

GmbH Technical Manual WIC1 SEG Electronics 6. Commissioning and Maintenance 6.1.1 Important note Putting into operation and the relevant tests should only be carried out by skilled personnel. We do not accept any liability for damage caused by improper handling of the protection system, or of the primary side of the equipment.
GmbH SEG Electronics Technical Manual WIC1 Criteria to be taken into account for protection devices fed by CTs With this kind of current supply it has to be taken into account that the CT has to feed more power than this is the case for protection devices with an additional aux.
GmbH Technical Manual WIC1 SEG Electronics Selection of the secondary test system When selecting the secondary test system the following particulars should be taken into account. Secondary test system to be used as power source. Three phases for the earth current test, one phase for the phase current test (see chapter 6.7).
GmbH SEG Electronics Technical Manual WIC1 6.6.2 WIC1 adjustment The protection parameters are to be adjusted according to chapter 4 of this instruction. The set parameters can be registered directly on the sticker affixed on the relay. Functional Test There are two methods to carry out the tests: Primary test and secondary test.
GmbH Technical Manual WIC1 SEG Electronics 6.7.1 Test Currents The transformation ratio of primary currents to secondary currents of the CTs are equally proportionate as the test current via the CD winding to the secondary current. This means, no matter which CT type is in operation, for the secondary test always the same test values are used.
