Network diagnosis functions
Tripping current
 This function gives the RMS values of the phase currents and residual currents at time
of the last trip.

 The measurement is defined as the maximum RMS value measured during a 30 ms

interval after the activation of the O1 output.

Machine operating assistance functions
Current phase displacement
 Current phase displacement between the main phase currents (I)
and additional phase currents (I') (1, 2, 3) is calculated for each
phase.

 The angle is measured in the clockwise direction.

 The information is used to check Sepam wiring when 87T protection

functions are implemented.

Metering functions
Power factor (Cos)
 This function gives the phase displacement between the phase
currents and the phase-to-neutral voltages.

 The + and - signs and the IND (inductive) and CAP (capacitive)
indications give the direction of power flow and the type of load.

Phase displacement
 This function gives:
Io
– phase displacement measured between the residual voltage and residual
current in the trigonometric direction
0 Vo
– phase displacement between the V1, V2, V3 voltages and I1, I2, I3
currents respectively, in the trigonometric direction
I
 The measurements are used during Sepam commissioning to check
 V that the voltage and current inputs are wired correctly.

 The angle is positive when the current is leading compared to the

voltage (trigonometric direction).

 the angle is modified by 180° by the setting incomer / feeder.

Machine operating assistance
Differential / through current
 Differential / through current is calculated for the implementation
of the differential protection functions 87T and 87M.
 It is calculated for each phase by:
 
    I  I
I diff  I  I  It 
2
 When a transformer is used (87T), the Idiff / It calculation takes
into account the vector shift and transformation ratio..
 The Idiff / It value is expressed with respect to In, the rated
current of the main channels.

Idiff = Iadjusted + It = max ( Iadjusted ,

I’adjusted I’adjusted )

Metering functions
Physical values measured
 Sepam measures the following physical values:
– phase current (3I)
– residual current (Io)
– phase voltage (3V)
– residual voltage (Vo)
 Each measured signal is processed by Sepam to produce all
the values necessary for the metering, diagnosis and protection
functions.

Metering functions
RMS measurement
 RMS measurement is only used by the phase current metering
function and for the thermal overload protection function (49). The
RMS values take into account harmonics up the the 13th.

 For all other metering and diagnosis functions, the H1 fundamental

50 Hz or 60 Hz component is used.

 Accuracy at Ino: ±1%.

 Accuracy ± 2% from 0.3 to 1.5 Ino
 Accuracy ± 3% from 0.1 to 0.3 Ino

 The measurement range extends to 40 Ino when Io measurement

is used. In the other cases, the range extends to 20 Ino.
