The control module SPTO 6D3 also incorpo-
rates a flexible auto-reclose unit capable of five
successive auto-reclose shots. Each auto-reclose
shot can be started by three different signals
(AR1, AR2 or AR3) from the protection relay
modules of the feeder terminal.
The three start initiating signals are either start-
ing or tripping signals of the protection relay
modules. For the configuration of the signals see
chapter "Signal diagram".
When the starting signals of the relay modules
are used to start auto-reclosing, the start of the
auto-reclosures can be delayed to avoid unnec-
essary auto-reclose functions. The dead time
can be determined separately for each shot. The
reclaim time, too, is adjustable.
For double-breaker arrangements (duplex) the
auto-reclose programme includes a so called du-
plex logic, which always opens both circuit break-
ers but gives the closing command only to that
circuit breaker which was the last one to be closed.
Auto-reclosing
The control module SPTO 6D3 is used to read
the status information of circuit-breakers and
disconnectors.The module indicates the status
locally by means of LED indicators and transfers
the information to station level equipment via
the SPA bus. The status of seven objects can be
indicated.
The control module is also used to control up to
six objects, e.g. circuit breakers or disconnec-
tors, either locally or through opening or closing
commands received over the SPA bus.
In addition to status information the control
module can read other binary data, indicate it
locally and transfer the information to station
level equipment. A maximum of seven external
binary signals can be wired to the feeder termi-
nals.
Control functions
General
The control module uses input channels 1…7
to read status information from circuit breakers
and disconnectors. Each of these channels con-
sists of two binary inputs, one for reading open
status and the other for reading closed status of
an object. This means that the status informa-
tion must be wired to the feeder terminal as
four-pole information.
The front panel of SPTO 6D3 has a 4x4 matrix
of status indication LEDs. At a time seven of
these LEDs can be used for status indication.
The circuit breaker / disconnector configura-
tion indicated by these LEDs is freely selectable
by the user.
At the most six of the objects whose status is read
via input channels 1…7 can be controlled. The
outputs OPEN1…6 and CLOSE1…6 operate
as the control outputs of the feeder terminal.
Input channels 1...7
Further, the control module can be used to read
seven external and three internal binary signals.
The external signals, channels 8…14, can be
single contact data wired from the bay and the
internal signals, channels 15…17, are starting
and tripping signals of the protection relay
modules. See Fig. 8 "Signal diagram" on page 18
in this manual.
The input signal type for channels 8…17 can be
selected to be active at high state, i.e. when a
control voltage is applied to the input, or at low
state, i.e. when no control signal is applied to the
input. The indications of the activations of the
external input channels 8...13 can individually
be programmed to be memory controlled, which
means that the LED corresponding to an input
channel, which has been activated for more than
10 ms, remains lit until separately reset. Red
light of a LED indicates that the concerned
input channel is activated.
The active status of the separate input channels
8...13 can be programmed to remain memo-
rized. Then the LED of the concerned input
channel does not go out until the channels is
reset by pressing push-buttons STEP and SE-
LECT simultaneously or by giving parameter
S5 the value of 0 or 1 via the remote control
system.
The input channels 8…17 can be used to control
the OPEN1…6, CLOSE1…6 and SIGNAL 5
or 6 outputs. When an input channel is activated
the OPEN or CLOSE output configured to the
channel delivers a control pulse. The SIGNAL
outputs are active as long as the input channels are
active.
Input channel 17 of the control module SPTO
6D3 is not used in feeder terminals SPAC 536 C
and SPAC 636 C.
