Overview OVERVIEW Introduction This Quick Reference Guide takes you through the installation and setup of your GE Multilin 750/760 Feeder Mangement Relay and helps you get it up and running as quickly as possible. The following topics are covered: •...
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Drawout case The 750/760 is packaged in the standard GE Multilin SR-series arrangement, which consists of a drawout relay and a companion case. The case provides mechanical protection for the drawout portion and is used to make permanent electrical connections to external equipment.
Mechanical installation Mounting The 750/760 can be mounted alone or adjacent to another SR-series relay on a standard 19-inch rack panel. The dimensions of the panel cutout, for both conditions, are shown below. When planning the location of your panel cutout, ensure provision is made for the front door to swing open without interference to or from adjacent equipment.
Mechanical installation Unit withdrawal and insertion TURN OFF CONTROL POWER BEFORE DRAWING OUT OR RE-INSERTING THE RELAY TO PREVENT MALOPERATION! CAUTION If an attempt is made to install a relay into a non-matching case, the case’s configuration pin will prevent full insertion. Applying a strong force in this instance will result in damage to the relay and case.
Mechanical installation When the stop position is reached, the locking mechanism will release. The relay will now slide out of the case when pulled from its handle. To free the relay, it may sometimes be necessary to adjust the handle position slightly. Figure 6: Sliding the Unit out of the Case To insert the unit into the case: Ensure that the model number on the left side of the relay matches the requirements...
Electrical installation The unit may then be re-inserted by first connecting the network cable to the units' rear RJ45 connector (see step 3 of Unit withdrawal and insertion on page 4). Ensure that the network cable does not get caught inside the case while sliding in the unit.

Electrical installation Figure 8: Typical wiring diagram The phase sequence is user programmable to be either ABC or ACB rotation. The voltage transformer input ratings must match the secondary ratings of the VT. The 750/ 760 relays have four channels for AC voltage inputs, each with an isolating transformer. The nominal secondary voltage must be in the 50 to 240 V range.
Accessing setpoints via the front panel Logic inputs Logic inputs are connected as indicated below. Ensure correct polarity and do not connect any logic input circuits to ground or else relay hardware may be damaged. External contacts can be connected to the relay's fourteen (14) logic inputs. As shown, these contacts can be either dry or wet.
Typical application setup TYPICAL APPLICATION SETUP System setpoints At a minimum, the S2 SYSTEM SETUP setpoints must be entered for the system to function correctly. To safeguard against the installation of a relay whose setpoints have not been entered, the “Relay Not Ready” self-test warning is displayed. In addition, the Self-Test Warning relay will be de-energized.
Typical application setup Logic input setpoints The logic input setpoints include the logic input identification, logic input asserted logic, and logic input functionality. To set logic inputs by means of the EnerVista 750/760 Setup software, select the Setpoints > Logic Inputs menu item. The setpoints are shown as sub- pages of the following tree: Protection setpoints Refer to the Application example on page 33 for details on how to set the 750/760 Feeder...

Working with setpoints and setpoint files The Front Panel settings can now be edited, printed, or changed according to user specifications. Other setpoint and commands windows can be displayed and edited in a similar manner. Actual values windows are also available for display. These windows can be locked, arranged, and resized at will.
Working with setpoints and setpoint files Clicking the arrow at the end of the box displays a numerical keypad interface that allows the user to enter a value within the setpoint range displayed near the top of the keypad: Click Accept to exit from the keypad and keep the new value. Click on Cancel to exit from the keypad and retain the old value.
Working with setpoints and setpoint files Using setpoints files Overview The EnerVista 750/760 Setup software interface supports three ways of handling changes to relay settings: • In off-line mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay settings files for later download to communicating relays.
Page 25
Working with setpoints and setpoint files Adding setpoints files to the environment The EnerVista 750/760 Setup software provides the capability to review and manage a large group of setpoint files. Use the following procedure to add a new or existing file to the list.
Page 26
Working with setpoints and setpoint files Select the file name and path to store the file, or select any displayed file name to update an existing file. All 750/760 setpoint files should have the extension ‘750’ or ‘760’ (for example, ‘feeder1.750’). Click Save and OK to complete the process.
