Figure 27: High-speed power outputs HSO1, HSO2 and HSO3
The reset time of the high-speed output contacts is longer than that of the
conventional output contacts.
High-speed power contacts are part of the card BIO0007 with eight binary inputs
and three HSOs. They are optional alternatives to conventional BIO cards of the
protection relay.

Signal output contacts

Signal output contacts are single-pole, single (normally open/form A or change-
over/form C) signal output contacts (SO1, SO2,...) or parallel connected dual
contacts.
The signal output contacts are used for energizing, for example, external low burden
trip relays, auxiliary relays, annunciators and LEDs.
A single signal contact is rated for a continuous current of 5 A. It has a make and
carry for 0.5 seconds at 15 A.
When two contacts are connected in parallel, the relay is of a different design. It has
the make and carry rating of 30 A for 0.5 seconds. This can be applied for energizing
breaker close coil and tripping coil. Due to the limited breaking capacity, a breaker
auxiliary contact can be required to break the circuit.
3.12.2.1 Internal fault signal output IRF
The internal fault signal output (change-over/form C) IRF is a single contact
included in the power supply module of the protection relay.
