Part Number Breakdown (Configuration)

While UR part numbers are extensive, key elements of this string indicate:

  • F60: Base Model (Feeder Management Relay).

  • J03: Advanced Software Package (includes specialized protection and automation features).

  • H/K: Specific Power Supply and CPU options (typically high-voltage DC/AC support).

  • 8L / 6N: Specific I/O card configurations for digital inputs and contact outputs.

  • P6M: Advanced Communication modules (often indicating redundant Ethernet or specialized fiber ports).

  • 5A: Current transformer (CT) secondary rating (5A).

Product Specifications

  • Protection Functions: 50P/51P (Phase Overcurrent), 50G/51G (Ground Overcurrent), 67P/67G (Directional Phase/Ground), 79 (Autoreclose), 25 (Synchrocheck), 46 (Current Unbalance), 81 (Over/Under Frequency).

  • Metering: High-accuracy current, voltage, power (MW, MVAR, MVA), energy, and power factor.

  • Automation: Flexible logic (FlexLogic™) for custom control sequences without external PLCs.

  • Communications: IEC 61850 (Edition 2), DNP 3.0, Modbus RTU/TCP, and PRP/HSR redundancy.

  • Monitoring: Event logging (up to 1024 events), Oscillography (64 samples/cycle), and Data Logger.

  • Dimensions: Full 19-inch rack-mount chassis (4U height).

Application Fields

The F60 is primarily deployed in Substation Automation Systems, Industrial Microgrids, and Renewable Energy Integration. It is designed to protect distribution feeders, manage bus transfers, and provide integrated breaker control. Its ability to perform high-speed GOOSE messaging makes it ideal for coordinated protection schemes where multiple relays must “talk” to each other to isolate faults with minimal downtime.

Product Instructions

  1. Mounting: Install the F60 in a standard 19-inch relay rack. Ensure the rear of the unit has sufficient clearance for the extensive wiring required for the multiple I/O cards.

  2. Wiring: Use shielded twisted-pair cables for communication links and appropriately rated copper wire for CT/PT connections. Given the complexity of this configuration, refer to the specific module map provided with the unit to ensure inputs are landed on the correct cards (e.g., Slot H or Slot M).

  3. Commissioning: Use EnerVista UR Setup software for configuration. Because this unit likely supports IEC 61850, you will need to manage the CID (Configured IED Description) files to integrate it into the substation’s wider communication network.

  4. Security: Ensure that the hardware security jumpers are set correctly and that password protection is enabled for the front panel and remote access to prevent unauthorized setting changes.

FAQ: Common Questions and Answers

Q: Does this relay support redundant power supplies? A: This depends on the specific hardware build (indicated by the power supply character in the part number). Many F60 units allow for a second power supply module to be installed for increased reliability.

Q: Can the F60 handle high-impedance faults? A: Yes, the F60 includes sensitive ground fault detection algorithms specifically designed to detect low-current faults that standard overcurrent elements might miss.

Q: What is the “FlexLogic” used for? A: FlexLogic allows you to program the relay to perform tasks like automatic bus transfer, load shedding, or complex interlocking between breakers without needing a separate PLC.
