Device Functionality 2.3 Binary Outputs Binary Outputs Overview The 7SR45 Argus Relay provides 2 or 4 binary outputs which can be configured to send commands to the switchgear units and annunciations for remote signaling of the important events and status.

Page 30
If a binary output is assigned to IRF, do not use the same binary output for any other functions. NOTE The Reclose Inhibit parameter is only available in dual powered variants. Siemens recommends configuring this parameter with permanent auxiliary power.
When there is no load connected at the output of pulse output (no trip coil is connected), the pulse on duration varies from 50 ms to 70 ms. The pulse output cannot be triggered via rear/font communication protocols, Siemens recommends using binary inputs for triggering the pulse output for remote trip applications.
Device Functionality 2.5 Remote Flag Output Remote Flag Output The remote flag output is used to indicate the trip via an external flag. The remote flag output provides 24 V, 0.01 Ws pulses of 50 ms on and 500 ms off. The remote flag output operates when any protection function trips.
Device Functionality 2.6 Reset LED, Trip Flag Indication, and Binary Outputs Reset LED, Trip Flag Indication, and Binary Outputs Depending upon the binary output configurations set to operate the protection functions, the configured binary outputs, local and remote trip flag indications, trip and respective phase or earth LEDs operate and latch after the TRIP command is issued by the protection functions.

The Data Storage menu contains the settings for clearing events and faults. Fault Records (Trip Log) The fault records are generated when the protection function detects a fault condition and the trip alert message appears on the LCD.
Device Functionality 2.8 Real Time Clock Real Time Clock The time and date can be set either via the relay fascia using appropriate commands in the SYSTEM CONFIG menu or using the Reydisp software. When the relay is de-energized, the CR1632, 3 V 140 mAh Li/MnO coin cell batteries maintains the time and date.

Applications 5.1 Overview Overview 7SR45 self powered/dual powered relay is a numerical overcurrent and earth-fault protection relay primarily intended for secondary distribution in electrical networks. The 7SR45 Argus relay is designed to operate with/without an auxiliary supply. The relay is powered primarily from the auxiliary voltage even though all other power sources are available.
The burden of the 7SR45 relay depends on the input current. The impedance of the relay is inversely propor- tional to the input current. Based on the field conditions, Siemens recommends selecting the primary CT turns ratio that is at least 10 % ⋅ I to reduce the dependency of the internal battery.
Page 92
Applications 5.2 Current-Transformer Requirements and Sample Calculations NOTE When all the 3 phases are available, the burden on each CT reduces. [dw_burden-of-relay-for-diff-currents_1A, 1, en_US] Figure 5-2 Burden of the Relay for Different Currents Reyrolle, 7SR45, Device Manual C53000-G7040-C101-2, Edition 09.2020...

Page 94
For safe operation of the 7SR45 Argus Relay, the maximum power delivered to the relay is 1000 VA for 1 s. Moreover, Siemens does not recommend overloading the relay above 1000 VA for multiple times. For more information, refer to Thermal Withstand in Electrical Tests under Technical Data chapter in the Hard- ware Manual.
Applications 5.3 Time-Delayed Overcurrent (51/51G/51N) Time-Delayed Overcurrent (51/51G/51N) The 51-n characteristic element provides a number of time/current operate characteristics. The element can be defined as either an Inverse Definite Minimum Time Lag (IDMTL) or Definite Time Lag (DTL) characteristic. If an IDMTL characteristic is required, then IEC, ANSI/IEEE, and a number of manufacturer-specific curves are supported.

ANSI operate characteristic is applied. Alternatively, a DTL reset (0 s to 60 s) can be used with other operating characteristics. For protection of cable feeders, Siemens recommends using 60 s DTL reset. On overhead line networks, particularly where circuit breaker with automatic reclosing functions are incorpo-...
Applications 5.5 Instantaneous Overcurrent (50/50G/50N) Instantaneous Overcurrent (50/50G/50N) Each instantaneous element has an independent setting for pickup current and a follower definite time lag (DTL) which can be used to provide time grading margins, sequence coordination grading, or scheme logic. The instantaneous description relates to the pickup of the element rather than its operation.
Applications 5.6 Thermal Overload (49) Thermal Overload (49) Continuous overload current can cause the electrical equipment (cables/transformers) to heat above the rated temperature or thermal equilibrium. This would result in damage to the protected equipment. In order to overcome this issue, the electrical equipment must be protected from Thermal Overload. The thermal overload function monitors thermal levels (θ) of the electrical equipment thus tripping them in case of thermal overload.

Applications 5.7 Inrush Response Inrush Response The 7SR45 Argus Relay is designed with immunity against inrush currents (15 % of 2 harmonic) up to 3 times the peak current with fundamental component (50 Hz/60 Hz) inside the currents less than 95 % of I During charging of transformer in the distribution system, the inrush current is generated and the relay does not respond to the inrush current up to 3 times the peak value as its not a fault condition.
Applications 5.8 Inrush Detector (81HBL2) Inrush Detector (81HBL2) The inrush detector (81HBL2) element detects the presence of high levels of 2 harmonic current, which indi- cates a transformer inrush current during switch-on. The inrush current raises above the operate level of the overcurrent elements for a short duration.
