phase concordance
unit Phase concordance testing for
VPIS- V1 and VPIS- V2 must be
carried out each time a cable is
connected to a functional unit.
It is a way of making sure that all
three cables are each connected
to the corresponding phase of
the substation.
principle Theprincipleofthephase
concordance unit is that it allows
a check of the phase concor-
dance between 2 energised
functional input units on the

choosing the HV fuses
Theratingofthefusestobefitted
in the RM6 protection function
depends on the following factors
(among others):
Hoperating voltage.
Htransformer rating.
Hfuse technology (manufacturer).
HVarious fuse types with striker
with average energy can be fitted :
-asperstandardUTENFC
13.100, UTE NFC 64.210
of the Soléfuse type.
- as per recommendation
IEC 282.1 and dimensions
DIN 43.625 of the Fusarc CF type.
Example: general case for
protection of a 400 kVA – 10 kV
transformer, 63 A Soléfuse fuses or

Fault Indication LEDs
VIP relays have fault indication
LEDs. They flash to indicate a fault,
asshowninthetable below :

tripping by the temporary test mode H H
Detection of a fault by the earth fault protection H H

Ext. Tripping by a volt- free contact connected to the external trip input -H
After a trip, the fault indication
LEDs are powered by the battery
embedded in the VIP or by the
VIP410 auxiliary power supply.
Fault indication by the LEDs can
be stopped:
Hby pressing the Reset key
Hautomatically by the reappea-
rance of a current in the network
higher than the pick- up current
Hautomatically after 24 hours
Hby remote control order via the

Forthefirst3LEDs,fasterflashing
may occur before the protection
trips, to indicate the following
information :
note In custom mode, the protection set
points may not be assigned to the
Mitop trip unit output.
In this case, the fault indication
LED may be active, without being
associated with the circuit breaker
trip.
Depending on the application, this
can indicate the presence of a fault
without tripping the circuit breaker
The fault indication LED picto-

cking a label to the right of the
LEDs.

operation according to the
power supply mode
(VIP400)
The VIP400 is a stand- alone pro-
tection relay powered by its cur-
rent sensors.
When current is present in the
medium- voltage (MV) network,
the protections and the display
work and it is possible to enter set-
tings and view measurements.
The current in the MV network on
which the VIP operates is called
the ’pick- up current’.
When no current is flowing through
the circuit breaker (for example cir-
cuit breaker open), or when the
current in the MV network is too
low, the VIP is off and nothing
appears on its display.
If current appears, the protection
functions are activated and trip the
circuit breaker - or not - accor-
ding to their settings.
The additional time taken by the
VIP to start when current appears
is called the ’pick- up time’.
More information on the value of
the pick- up current and the pick-
up time are available in the VIP

power supply. It is powered both
autonomously by its sensors and
by the auxiliary power supply.
Like for the VIP400, the
self- powered supply allow the
protection functions to work even if
the auxiliary power supply fails.
The auxiliary power supply is used
to power functions that do not
depend on the current being
present in the MV network. These
functions are marked in the
function table (Please consult the
reference NRJED311207EN). The
auxiliary power supply must be
present in order them to work.
integral battery The VIP has an integral battery. It
is used to:
Hactivate the user- machine
interface in order to enter settings
when the VIP is not supplied with
power
Hilluminate the fault indication
LEDs when the VIP is no longer
supplied with power after giving
theopening order to the circuit
breaker
Hpower the internal calendar
When the VIP is not supplied with
power:
Pressing and holding down the
key will activate battery- powered
operation of the user- machine
interface. It is then possible to
access the menus in order to enter
settings.
In this case, the display
turns off automatically after 3
minutes of inactivity on the key-
pad.
HThe protection functions are
activated automatically if the cur-
rent reappears.
The integral battery plays no part
in operating the protection func-
tions. The protection functions
work even when there is no bat-
tery.
NOTE :
Hin battery operation mode, the
VIP processor runs with a reduced
clock frequency to ensure the bat-
tery life is maintained. As a result,
theuser-machineinterfacemay
be slower to react.
Hduring a setting operation with
the VIP powered by its internal
battery alone, the clock display is
not refreshed on screen. However
the internal clock increments nor-
mally.
pocket battery module The pocket battery module is an
accessory that can be connected
to the front panel of VIP relays. It
contains a battery that can be
used to power the VIP in order to:
Henter settings if the integral bat-
tery is missing and if the VIP is not

frequency The network frequency (50 Hz or
60 Hz) is a parameter that must be
known for operation of the VIP40
and VIP45 signal processing algo-
rithms.
They therefore have an automatic
frequency recognition system.
The recognized value
(50Hzor60Hz)is stored and the
VIP works permanently with this
value.
This stored value will be used each
time the VIP starts
For the VIP to recognize the net-
work frequency and store it, it has
to detect a current on phase 1 for
a minimum period of 5 seconds in
the range 50 Hz +/- 2 Hz or 60
Hz +/- 2 Hz.
This detection happens when
the VIP starts.

phase- earth faults.
It has:
- 4 logic inputs and 7 configura-
ble relay outputs
- a communication port

earth current (ANSI
50N- 51N) Earth current maximum protection
enables overcurrents due to
phase- to- earth faults to be
detected. It makes use of the mea-
surement of the earth current’s
fundamental component.
2 independent thresholds (Io>
and Io>>)
Hthe lower threshold (Io>)can
be set to either a definite time (DT)
or an inverse time (IDMT) curve,
with the choice of standardised
curve (IEC, IEEE, RI) and the pos-
sibility of activating an inverse time
duration.
Hthe upper threshold (Io>>) has
only a definite time (DT) setting.
The minimum setting gives instan-
taneous operation (ANSI 50 func-
tion).

thermal overload protection
(ANSI 49RMS) This protection enables cables and
HV/LV transformers to be protec-
ted against overloads based on
the measurement of absorbed cur-
rent.
This protection uses a thermal
model based on current measure-
ments to evaluate temperature
rise. The current used for this pro-
tection is a 3- phase RMS current
that takes into account up to 13th
order harmonics.
This protection has 2 settings:
Hmaximum allowable continuous
current, which corresponds to the
maximum thermal withstand of the
equipment to be protected (this
allowable continuous current cor-
responds to a temperature rise of
100%)
Hheating/cooling time constant of
the equipment.

Flair 22D/23DV can be connected
to a voltage presence indicating
system (VPIS) provided with a vol-
tage output (VPIS- VO). In this
case, for greater reliability, fault
detection is confirmed by voltage
absence without taking into
account the current.
Flair 23DV has to be supplied
from 24Vdc to 48 Vdc for a perma-
nent display operating and for the
outdoor lamp supply.(With a single

voltage detection relay
The VD23 is a voltage presence
and absence detection relay.
It uses the VPIS V2- V0 as sensor,
and operates with a 24 or 48 Vdc
external power supply.
operation
Calibration:
At power up, the VD23 automati-
cally detects voltage presence and
the network frequency, and then
performs self- calibration.
Measuring mode:
3 seconds after calibration, the
VD23 displays, by scrolling, the
percentages of the nominal
voltage detected on each phase
Detection of Voltage presence:
When the voltage percentage
becomes greater than the set thre-
shold for all the configured
phases, then the VD23 lights the
voltage presence indicator and
activates (or releases in inverted
mode) relay R1.
Detection of Voltage absence:
When the voltage percentage
becomes less than the set thre-
shold for all the configured
phases, then the VD23 lights the
voltage absence indicator and
activates (or releases in inverted
mode) relay R2.

maintenance cycle and
operations This device is designed to operate
for 30 years or for 1000 operations
in normal conditions of use as per
standard IEC 62271- 1.
Thefollowingarerecommended:
- anO/Coperationevery6years
for motorised functional units
and/or functional units with
a latching mechanism
(Q and D/B function)
- replacement of batteries is
recommended every 4 years
- inspection every 5 years of the
condition of the mechanisms (pol-
lution, corossion) and the cleanli-
ness of the earthing covers (pollu-
tion).
