3. Product Description and Operations


WARNING

Before setting, operating, or maintaining this equipment, carefully read and understand the contents of this
guide. Improper installation, handling, or maintenance can result in death, severe personal injury, and/or
equipment damage.


WARNING

This equipment is not intended to protect human life. Follow all locally approved procedures and safety
practices when installing or operating this equipment. Failure to comply may result in death, severe
personal injury, and/or equipment damage.

3.1 General

Type 7.1 is designed for operation with three G&W Solid Dielectric insulated Vacuum Interrupter single phase
mechanisms or one - three phase mechanism.

The control is microprocessor based, and will trip open the Vacuum Interrupter mechanism(s) after a time delay
corresponding to the monitored current. The device monitors the current in the three phases and phase
imbalance. If any of currents exceeds the pre-selected limit for a given period of time, that phase, or all three
phases will be tripped depending on the control settings.


CAUTION

These controls are designed to work exclusively with G&W Vacuum Interrupter mechanisms. Use of these
controls for any other purpose may cause damage to the control or other equipment.

Each control is a stand-alone unit and does not require any maintenance. The unit is powered by the internal
current transformers (CTs) that measure the phase current(s). The control does not require any external power
supply or battery for normal over current detection and operation.

Type 7.1 controls are mounted inside of the Solid Dielectric mechanism cover eliminating the need for a
separate enclosure and cabling.

3.2 Powering the Control

There are two ways to power the controls primary current flowing through the current transformers or through
an external power input, which must be factory ordered.

3.2.1 Powering from Primary Current

The current levels needed to power the control are shown in the table below.



Page 5 GWI 523-375 Rev. 1


CT Ratio Primary Current Available
on Any 1 Phase
Primary Current Available
On 3 Phases
500:1

15 Amps 10 Amps per Phase
1000:1

25 Amps 15 Amps per Phase




3.2.2 External Power Input (optional)

When there is insufficient primary current on the CTs (see table 2), an external power supply can be used
to power the control. This is required when utilizing the external trip input. The external power input accepts
a DC voltage between 12 and 24VDC. The maximum current draw on this input is 1.5A when a trip is
occurring.

Type 7.1 controls must be factory ordered with this option. Access to the external power connections is
through a hardwired cable that is sealed to the switch housing to maintain submersibility.

3.3 External Trip Input (optional)

The controls can be wired to trip the Vacuum Interrupter mechanism using external trip input. The external trip
input is a dry contact and requires that the external power input be active. When a closed contact is
momentarily applied, the control sends a trip signal to all phases of the Vacuum Interrupter Mechanism. This
could be done from a source such as a relay or RTU.

Type 7.1 controls must be factory ordered with this option. Access to the external trip connections is through a
hardwired cable that is sealed to the switch housing to maintain submersibility.


3.4 RS485 Communication

The Type 7.1 control is capable of communicating through a serial line - RS485 when provided with external
power. This option must be factory ordered.

The software driver uses the MODBUS RTU protocol. This protocol is provided with sum control, timeout and
frame checking.

The following actions can be performed when the control is not performing a timing trip and if powered.
-reading of load current on all three phases
-reading cause of trip and fault current
-reading of present parameters
-setting new parameters

The default factory settings for communications are: interface RS485, address 1.

Refer to Appendix A for protocol information.

Table 1: Amount of Primary Current Necessary to power the control


Page 6 GWI 523-375 Rev. 1



4. VI Control Settings Software (VICSS) Setup
4.1 General

Type 7.1 controls are programmed using the VI control Settings Software (VICSS). The software comes with a
programming kit that includes a communication cable and a CD with software and drivers for the cable. The VI
Control Settings Software communicates via a USB cable using MODBUS protocol.

The software is available free of charge by contacting G&W technical support. A proprietary cable (ordered
separately) is needed to utilize the software to communicate with the controls.

4.2 Installing the Software

The VICSS application can be installed on a desktop or laptop PC (this software will not work on the Apple
Operating system). The minimum requirements are:
One USB port

6.2 Time/Current Characteristic Curves (TCC)

There are 30 built-in curves available for selection. The built-in curves include fuse and relay curves. The
relay curves have multiple time dials which are displayed when the relay curve is selected in the software.
Each TCC curve is stored in non-volatile memory as a series of 489 data points in a tabular format. A TCC
curve is a table that provides different time delays for different current values.

The G&W TCCs form two groups, emulation curves and standard relay curves. All curves are generated
from emulations of actual curves. None of the emulations is meant to represent one specific manufacturer;
instead, data was used from multiple manufacturers. All emulations meet ANSI standards. Different TCC
curves can be selected for Phase and Ground Settings. Figure 6.2 shows where to set the Phase and
Ground TCC curves.


Note: For Time Current Curves, reference G&W website at www.gwelec.com.

6.3 Phase Minimum Trip

General:





The VI controls operate off of a Phase Minimum Trip setting. All Phase trip time calculations
are made using this value as a point of reference. If the current, on A, B, or C phases, is above
the phase minimum trip threshold, then timing begins by comparing the primary current to the
values stored in the TCC table. A trip command is sent when the time exceeds the TCC time
associated with the measured primary current level.

Settings:




The range for the Phase Minimum Trip setting is 15 300 Amps for 500:1 CTs and 30 600
Amps for 1000:1 CTs. The user may select between 12 settings. Controls with 500:1 CTs can
choose from 15A, 20A, 25A, 35A, 45A, 60A, 75A, 100A, 125A, 175A, 225A and 300A. Controls
with 1000:1 CTs can choose from 30A, 40A, 50A, 70A, 90A, 120A, 150A, 200A, 250A, 350A,
450A, and 600A.

Example:

































Figure 6.3

Figure 6.3 depicts how the trip timing is determined based on the measured input current.
Variations in the primary current during the timing phase will also affect the final trip time. If
during the timing phase the primary current falls below 85% of the Phase Minimum Trip setting
the timing is reset to zero. If the primary current is between 85% and 100% of the Phase
Minimum Trip setting, a reverse timing algorithm is employed until the timing is reset to zero.

The accuracy of the timing is dependent on the slope of the TCC. The steeper the slope the
greater the error band due to the accuracy of the current measurement. If the primary current is
greater than 250 Amps, the typical current measurement accuracy is +/-2%. If the primary
current is less than 250 Amps, the typical current measurement accuracy is +/-5 Amps.

The TCC table has a dynamic range for currents ranging from the Phase Minimum Trip to 20
times the Phase Minimum Trip. The control will still issue a trip command if the current level

exceeds 20 times the Phase Minimum Trip value. In these scenarios, the control uses the
fastest trip time on the selected TCC curve. For example, a Phase Minimum Trip of 15 Amps
has a TCC maximum current of 300 Amps and a Phase Minimum Trip of 100 Amps has a TCC
maximum current of 2000 Amps.

The control can measure up to 6000 Amps for 500:1 CTs and 12,000 Amps for 1000:1 CTs.
These are the maximum currents that will be recorded under Sequence of Events.

6.4 Phase Instantaneous Trip Multiplier

General:





The Phase Instantaneous Trip Multiplier aids in customizing the protection capabilities of the
control by providing a separate trip time for higher fault currents. When any phase exceeds the
current value defined by the Phase Minimum Trip times the Phase Instant Multiplier, the control
will initiate a trip command to all three phases within half a cycle, 8.3 msec at 60 Hz (10 msec
at 50 Hz).

Settings:


The user may select between 9 settings. The settings available are OFF, x1, x3, x5, x7, x9,
x11, x13, x15. Selecting OFF disables this feature.

Example:





































E Speed Slow selected for Phase TCC, 60 Hz system, Phase Minimum Trip set to 25 Amps,
Phase Instantaneous Trip Multiplier set to x3 Amps and all other settings inactive:



Figure 6.5

If the primary current on A phase is 60 Amps, the control will trip as defined by the TCC and
Phase Minimum Trip setting in 2.085 seconds. If the current is 80 Amps, which is above the
Phase Instantaneous Trip setting of 75 Amps (25 x 3), the control will initiate a trip command in
8.3 msec instead of the typical Phase TCC time of 1.117 seconds

6.5 Phase Time Delay

General:






This feature may be helpful when coordinating the VI Control with other protection devices.
When the measured current level exceeds the Phase Minimum Trip value, the control will add
the selected Phase Time Delay to the phase TCC time. After both the phase TCC time and
Phase Time Delay have elapsed, the control will initiate a trip command to one phase or three
phases based on the trip mode selection.
Settings:


The user may select between 12 settings. The settings available are 0.000s, 0.030s, 0.060s,
0.100s, 0.150s, 0.200s, 0.250s, 0.300s, 0.350s, 0.400s, 0.450s, and 0.500s. Selecting 0.000s
disables this feature.

Example:






































E Speed Slow selected for Phase TCC, 60 Hz system, Phase Minimum Trip value set for 25
Amps, Phase Time Delay set for 0.30 seconds, and all other settings inactive:



Figure 6.7

If the primary current on A phase is 60 Amps, the control will time for the phase TCC time of
2.085 seconds and then for the Phase Time Delay of 0.30 seconds. It will initiate a trip
command in 2.385 (2.085 + 0.30) seconds.

6.6 Phase Minimum Response Time

General:



The Phase Minimum Response Time feature allows the user to ensure that the Vacuum
Interrupter will not trip open before a specific time. This feature will work in conjunction will all
other features of the control except the Ground Fault (Phase Imbalance Feature).

Settings:



The user may select between 10 settings. The settings available are OFF, 0.050s, 0.100s,
0.145s, 0.205s, 0.260s, 0.335s, 0.405s, 0.495s and 0.580s. Selecting OFF disables this
feature.

Example:









































E Speed Slow selected for phase TCC, 60 Hz system, Phase Minimum Trip value set to 25
Amps, Phase Minimum Response Time set to 0.58 seconds, and all other settings inactive:



Figure 6.9

If the primary current on A phase is 60 Amps, the normal phase trip time would be 2.085
seconds as defined by the Phase TCC. Because this is above the Phase Minimum Response
Time of 0.58 seconds, the VI Control uses the phase TCC time. If the primary current is 120
Amps, the Phase TCC time would be 0.465 seconds. Because the Phase Minimum Response
Time is set for 0.58 seconds, the control will wait and not initiate a trip command until 0.58
seconds.

6.7 Phase Inrush Restraint

General:










The Phase Inrush Restraint function consists of two settable parameters, the Phase Inrush Trip
Multiplier and the Phase Inrush Active Timer. This function is helpful for preventing nuisance
trips due to cold load pickup. At the initial start-up of the control, Phase Minimum Trip value is
temporarily changed to the Phase Minimum Trip times the Phase Inrush Trip Multiplier. This
value is active for the duration of the Phase Inrush Active Timer. The Phase Inrush Restraint
Function is disabled after the Phase Inrush Active Timer expires, or any phase exceeds the
Phase Inrush Trip Multiplier times the Phase Minimum Trip.

Once disabled, the Phase Inrush Restraint Function will not be reactivated unless the average
three phase primary current drops below 7.5 Amps (500:1 CTs) or 15 Amps (1000:1 CTs).

Settings:





The user may select between 12 settings for Phase Inrush Multiplier and 12 settings for Phase
Inrush Active Timer. The settings available for the multiplier are x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8,
x9, x11, x13, x15 and the settings available for the active timer are 0.00s, 1.75s, 3.25s, 5.25s,
and 7.00s. Selecting 1 for the Phase Inrush multiplier or entering 0.00s for the Phase Inrush
Active timer will disable this feature.

Example:







































E Speed Slow selected for phase TCC, Phase Minimum Trip value set to 25 Amps, Phase
Inrush multiplier set to 3, Phase Inrush Active Timer set to 5.25 seconds, and all other settings
inactive:


Figure 6.11

If the primary current on A phase is 60 Amps, the TCC time would be 2.085 seconds without
inrush functionality. Because inrush function is activated, the Phase Minimum Trip is
temporarily changed to 75Amps (25 x 3) for 5.25 seconds. If the primary current remains at 60
Amps after 5.25 seconds, the control will begin timing per the TCC and then initiate a trip
command. The total time will be 7.335 (5.25 + 2.085) seconds.

6.8 Ground Fault Minimum Trip

General:














The Ground Fault Minimum Trip feature can be used to protect against excessive phase
imbalances that may result in damage to equipment. This feature is only available when 3
phase Trip Mode is selected.

The control performs an analog sum of the three individual phase currents. The analog sum
takes the current amplitude as well as the phase angle into account. If the sum is not zero,
there is a phase imbalance present. The Ground Fault feature is set as a percentage of the
minimum trip. If the phase imbalance is more than the selection Ground Fault Minimum Trip
setting, the VI Control will begin to time using the TCC chosen for ground fault settings. A
separate TCC must be selected for Ground Fault settings. This TCC can be different from the
Phase TCC. Refer to section 6.2 on how to choose a different Ground Fault TCC.

The control can measure up to 3000 Amps for 500:1 CTs and 6000 Amps for 1000:1 CTs. This
represents the maximum current that will be recorded for phase imbalance under Sequence of
Events.

Settings:

The user may select between 10 settings. The settings available are OFF, 10%, 15%, 20%,
25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, and 50%. Selecting OFF disables this feature.

Example:







































E Speed Slow selected for both phase and ground TCC, Phase Minimum Trip value set for 100
Amps, Ground Minimum Trip for 10%, and all other settings inactive:


Figure 6.13

If the phase imbalance is 30 Amps, the VI control will initiate a trip command after a Ground
TCC trip time of 1.283 seconds.
