Purpose and use
4YVTSWIERHYWI
7IGXMSRJIIHIVTVSXIGXMSRMRXLIVIGXMJMIVWYFWXEXMSR
The individual supply sections in a DC contact line system are fed through so-called section feed-
ers. Here is also located the DC high speed circuit breaker which, together with the protection
equipment, protects system parts such as
• the feeder cable
• contact line network
• and unprotected vehicle components
• from overload
To ensure cost optimisation during operation, system loads are set as high as possible. However,
it is also expected that the protective devices switch off reliably and quickly when a fault occurs.
6IUYMVIQIRXWSRXLIWIGXMSRJIIHIVTVSXIGXMSR
• Detection and tripping of short-circuits and overloads in the supply section.
• Limiting in magnitude and duration due to fast reaction times and fast tripping of the current.
• Fast tripping to minimise the mechanical and thermal stresses on the system parts.
• Correct grading of protective devices within the overall substation concept.
In order to satisfy as many of these requirements as possible, there is a range of protective func-
tions for selection and use.
4VSXIGXMZIJYRGXMSR
The protective functions can be ordered into the three following functional groups:
Short-circuit protection consisting of:
• Overcurrent protection
• Rate of rise-of-current tripping
Overload protection consisting of

• Definite-time overcurrent-time protection
• Thermal overload protection
Other system protection

• Supply cable monitoring
• Voltage monitoring

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
Purpose and use
7-86%7(494VSHYGX0MRI
The SITRAS® DPU96 Digital Protective Unit and Controller has been developed on the basis of
microprocessors. The system protects DC switchgear and contact line equipment against overload
and detects short circuits during the rise of current before the maximum short-circuit currents are
reached.

Explanations
The signals conform to the following voltages:
“0“ ⇒ 0V “1“ ⇒ 24V
A suppresser circuit is required for inductive loads. When driving the output, a connection is made
to the +24V internally (-X2:16-18).
Outputs:
A1 (-X2:29): With automation operation: Group alarm parameterisable
Without automation option: Common signal for all protective
functions
A2 (-X2:30): Signal of di/dt trip (delayed trip)
A3 (-X2:31): Signal of Imax or ∆I trip (delayed trip)
A4 (-X2:32): Signal output for the temperature trip.
This output remains driven until the calculated temperature has reduced by the amount set in
[119] Hysteresis, cable temperature.
A5 (-X2:33): Signal output freely parameterisable (in the basic state the command
bit of the Profibus information is output), adjustable under Parameter
[727].
A6 (-X2:34): The system signal remains at 0V until one of the following system
signals is present:
• Optical fibre failure
• C error
• Supply failure
• Shunt failure
• Readback output
• These messages are described in detail in Chapter 12 List of signals.
A7 (-X2:35): Intertripping signal on the corresponding circuit breaker in the

neighbouring substation.
A8 (-X2:36): Sustained short circuit signal, section feeder blocked
A9 (-X2:37): Signal output freely parameterisable (in the basic state the command
bit of the Profibus information is output), adjustable under Parameter
[728].
A10 (-X2:3): Trip output with very fast response.
A11 (-X2:4): Drive output for operations counter.
A12 (-X2:5): Drive output for enable contactor (backing up critical output signals)
A13 (-X2:6): Signal output for indicator On / Test
A14 (-X2:7): Drive output for switch-on (pulse), varies depending the selected
breaker mechanism [711]
A15 (-X2:8): Signal output for indictor Off
A16 (-X2:9): Drive output of test contactor for the section test.

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
Inputs:
E1 (-X2:19): Acknowledge action signal (e.g. via a process signal CB ON).
E2 (-X2:20): Input for selector switch, local / remote operation (i.e. 24V = remote
operation).
E3 (-X2:21): Switch-on command, CB ON local (operation through positive signal
edge).
E4 (-X2:22): Switch-off command CB OFF local (operation through positive signal
edge).
E5 (-X2:23): Switch-on command CB On direct (operation through positive signal
edge).
without activation of automatic test and reclosure.
E6 (-X2:24): Switch-off command CB OFF remote (operation through positive
signal edge).
E7 (-X2:25): Switch-on command, CB ON remote (operation through positive si-
gnal edge).
E8 (-X2:26): Input for operating position signal negated (i.e. 24V = not in operating
position).
E9 (-X2:40): Input for disconnected position signal negated (i.e. 24V = not in dis-
connected position).
E10 (-X2:41): Input for frame fault signal 64 DC in substation (i.e. 24V = frame
fault).
E11 (-X2:42): Input for m.c.b. operation.
E12 (-X2:43): Intertripping function switch-off command from corresponding circuit
breaker in neighbouring substation with evaluation of the pulse
length.
E13 (-X2:44): Checkback input CB open.
E14 (-X2:45): Checkback input CB closed.
E15 (-X2:46): Checkback input test contactor closed.
E16 (-X2:47): Signal input freely parameterisable (in the basic state the input signal
is entered as the signalling bit in the Profibus information), adjustable
under parameter [722].

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
E21 (-X2:52): Selection between Parameter blocks 1 and 2 via this input with signal
edge.

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
The signal outputs remain driven until the signal is acknowledged.

The signal status of these inputs and outputs can be viewed with the Parameters [160-164].
The outputs of the capacitor trip (-X1:4; -X1:5) must always be connected to the trip coil.
This ensures that the protective unit can monitor the supply of the stored energy to the trip coil
and the capacitor charging process.

5.1.4.1 Installation of SITRAS DPU96 BA DC Buffer Amplifier (Basic Version)

The DC buffer amplifier must be installed in the vicinity of the shunt (min. 10cm up to 80cm). The
housing should be mounted using clip mounts on a top-hat rail (EN 50022-35).
The measurement sensor input line must be twisted with at least one twist per cm of line length
and kept as short as possible (max. 20 cm to 30 cm). With a longer distance between the shunt
and buffer amplifier (more than 30 cm) a twisted and screened line must be used.
The input line must be connected, avoiding the formation of loops where possible, and laid sepa-
rate from other lines.
The output lines to the measurement devices must be laid separately from the other lines.
The digital protective unit must be connected to the buffer amplifier through an optical fibre cable.
The buffer amplifier is normally supplied with voltage from the central unit.

5.1.6.1 Installation of SITRAS DPU96 VD Voltage Divider Module

The voltage divider module is mounted on a top-hat rail (EN 50022-35).
The voltage divider module must be arranged to the left of the DC buffer amplifier on the top-hat
rail to keep the lead between the two devices as short as possible.
In order to obtain an adequate signal-to-noise ratio, it is sufficient to keep the connecting lead be-
tween the voltage divider module and the DC buffer amplifier as short as possible.
For operation with the digital protective unit Terminals 2 and 3 must be connected.
A maximum of one nominal voltage according to the standard EN 50163, 11/95 may occur be-
tween the measuring points and the traction earth.

The cable monitor module must be installed in the vicinity of the feeder cable (min. 10cm up to
80cm max.). The housing should be mounted using clip mounts on a top-hat rail (EN 50022-35).
The measurement sensor input line must be kept as short as possible. The input line must be
connected avoiding the formation of loops where possible, and laid separate from other lines.
The output lines to the buffer amplifier form a current interface link. With longer distances be-
tween the cable monitor module and the buffer amplifier a twisted line must be used. The meas-
urements are passed to the buffer amplifier via this line. The buffer amplifier integrates the meas-
urements from the cable monitor module in the optical fibre telegram to the protective unit.
The cable monitor module obtains its supply from the output voltage of the feeder cable. The ca-
ble monitor module starts measurement operation about two seconds after a voltage is applied to
the output. The SITRAS DPU96 BA (Extended Version) should be used as the associated buffer
amplifier.

WARNING
The switchgear carries a dangerous electrical voltage. Non-observance of the direc-
tions contained in these operating instructions can result in death, severe personal in-
jury or considerable damage to the equipment.
Safe operation of the switchgear requires that it has been commissioned by qualified
personnel observing the warning remarks in these operating instructions.
In particular, not only the applicable installation and safety instructions for work on
heavy current systems (e.g. DIN, VDE, IEC, EN) but also the regulations regarding to
the proper use of tools and personal safety equipment (safety goggles, etc.) should be
observed.
All work on the switchgear and its installation must be carried out in conformance with
national regulations and local regulations. This includes making sure that the unit is
properly earthed so that no freely accessible part of the unit can be at network or any
other dangerous voltage.
Work on the unit when in operation may only be carried out by suitably qualified per-
sonnel.
Use only measuring equipment that you know is functionally and operationally safe.
These instructions do not contain a complete list of measures required for the safe op-
eration of the switchgear. Further measures may be necessary for special applications
or operating conditions. Should special problems arise which are not dealt with ade-
quately for the purposes of the purchaser, please contact your local Siemens company.
'EPMFVEXMSREJXIVMRMXMEPW[MXGLSR
The unit can be reset before calibration with Parameter [150] Initialize. This sets all parameters to
their default values.
NOTE
Execution of the function with YES deletes all user settings.
[150] Initialize: If this parameter is confirmed, then all parameters except the pass-
word and access level are set to their default values. The measure-
ment, event and alarm memories are deleted. A list of default values
can be found in Chap. 11.

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
IMPORTANT
After booting, the parameters are set to values which make the unit sensitive in re-
sponse with, under some circumstances, rapid tripping, i.e. normal operating condi-
tions may lead to tripping.
During commissioning of the unit, the protective unit must be matched to the shunt and the tap-
ping of the voltage divider module.
NOTE
The information for the correct setting may be taken from the relevant circuit docu-
mentation.
For this, the following parameters are set:

[20] Shunt: Conversion of the output current measured value for internal calcula-
tion.
Example: Shunt: 3000A /60mV
Setting: [20] =3000A/60mV = 50A/mV
[21] Voltage divider: Conversion of the output voltage measured value for internal calcula-
tion.
Example: Rated voltage Urated = 750V
=> Tapping on voltage divider module 1000V
Setting: [21] = Voltage divider tapping/10V = 100
[715] Test shunt: Conversion of the test current measured value for internal calculation
(only needed for option Test current measurements with residual re-
sistance determination).
Setting: [715] =60A/60mV = 1A/mV
[152] Offset comp. : Here offset voltages are compensated which originate from the buf-
fer amplifier. The offset compensation must be carried out with no
voltage or current on the output, i.e. the offset compensation can
only be carried out with the circuit breaker switched off (checkback
signal CB OFF).

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
NOTE
The parameter reactions must be set depending on the operating conditions of the
section feeder panels.

5.2.2.1 Cable measurement function test

The Parameter [312] Cable 1: Measurement gives you quick information of whether the system is
working correctly. If the system has been connected correctly, the left number of the parameter
should increase after each successful measurement. However, if only the right number increases,
there is still a problem present. Twisted cable for the serial link between the cable monitor module
and the buffer is detected and signalled by the system.
5.2.2.2 Function test for screen monitoring with termination resistance

The screen monitoring variant with termination resistance offers the possibility of testing the
measurement circuit at any time (see page 47, Fig. 11). Parameter [320] Screen mon. is be set at
off for this. Now the termination resistance is no longer calculated during the computation of the
insulation resistance, so that a resistance value from the parallel circuit of the termination resis-
tance and the insulation resistance is produced. With new cables this almost corresponds to the
termination resistance. When a resistance value becomes established after a few measurements,
this indicates that the resistance is connected and the measurement circuit is operating correctly.
If the measured value does not become established, then there is a suspicion that the termination
resistance is not connected correctly.
To carry out a trip test, Parameter [308] Cable 1: R(S-W)min must now be set to a value higher
than the termination resistance. If the measurement falls below this set value, tripping follows.
7[MXGLMRKSRERHSJJHYVMRKSTIVEXMSR
After switch-on the device carries out a self-test.
The date and time are retained after switching off and continue after switching on.
After each switch-on the operating clock must be reset to the date and time, unless you are using
the time synchronisation options via the Profibus.
On switch-off the unit saves all the parameters in the EEPROM and the data is retained.
This means that the correct sequence of events is saved in the event memory.

The complete system information is saved in parameters and secured against data loss in
EEPROMs.
4EVEQIXIVHMWTPE]
The parameters are used to change device settings or view values. There are two different types
of parameters.
• Observing parameters (BP) indicate operating states or actual values. Observing parameters
cannot be changed and saved by the operator. A parameter number, name and exactly one
variable are assigned to each observing parameter.

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
• Setting parameters (EP) have values which can be changed. For each parameter there is an
internal parameter number, a multi-lingual name and exactly one value. If you confirm the pa-
rameter, the parameter is immediately saved.
There are three access levels with which the access to the parameters is set.
• Observe (BEO): Access to the most important observing parameters and necessary setting
parameters (e.g. access level).
• Standard (STA): Additional access to the setting and observing parameters which are needed
for the general protection settings and maintenance.
• Expert (EXP): Access to all parameters. This access level is only intended for appropriately
qualified personnel.
The unit is parameterised using the following:

• Membrane keypad on the central unit
• SITRAS DPU96 SW: PC Application Software

Fig. 17: Window parameters
The subparameters can be set via the individual fields:

• Parameter name: Each parameter has a parameter name. If this field is selected, you can page
between the parameters with the or keys. The parameter names cannot be changed.
• Parameter value: Value of the parameter. When this field is selected, you can adjust the pa-
rameter value. The set value is accepted by pressing the Acknowledge key . Then the pa-
rameter name field is automatically selected. This indicates to the operator that the saving has
terminated successfully. Observing parameters are continually updated.
• Parameter block: You can save two different protection settings (Protection parameters [88] to
[138]) for operation. You can switch over between the first and second settings in the parame-
ter block field. With parameters which only occur once the symbol G for global appears here.
The field cannot then be edited.
• Parameter type: This field indicates whether a setting parameter (EP) or an observing parame-
ter (BP) is involved. The field is only used for information and cannot be changed. If the field
shows the label (RO, read only), then a setting parameter is involved which cannot be
changed at this access level. This function enables parameters to be checked without having
to change to the necessary access level.
• Parameter number: You can also select the parameters based on an unambiguous parameter
number. The parameter numbers are arranged in areas.
(A complete list of parameters is given in Chap. 11).
• Default setting: A default setting is assigned internally to each parameter when the digital pro-
tective unit is first switched on. By selecting and confirming this field the default setting is

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
copied into the field for the parameter value and this field activated. You must acknowledge
this with the Acknowledge key to save the setting.
4EVEQIXIVEGGIWW
Access to the parameters can be obtained via the central unit, the PC user software or via the
PROFIBUS communication interface for selected control parameters. Access rights are controlled
via the operator’s Access rights. (See Chap. 6.1.2.2 from page 54).
Of the parameter blocks only the variable value can be changed, assuming that the parameter is a
setting parameter, the operator is at the correct access level and the device has writing rights.
The parameter description saved in the central unit is binding for all connected devices, i.e. it is
always called from the central unit.
Quick search of parameters
In order to be able to quickly find a known parameter, there is the possibility of changing the pa-
rameter number at the lower right of the display. By accepting this parameter number the unit
immediately displays the required parameter in the associated subgroup.

6.1.2.4 Parameter blocks

Important protection parameters which relate to the section conditions occur twice: Parameter
block 1 and Parameter block 2. These can be switched over. The active parameter block is used by
the digital protective unit for the protection monitoring.
All other parameters only occur once.

You can change back to a different window at any time via the system bar. If however no opera-
tion occurs for 10 seconds, then the Action window is displayed again.
The various events have different display priorities and are displayed accordingly.
• General warning: Warnings are displayed until the cause of the warning has been rectified.
With a number of warnings, the last warning is always displayed.
• Trip or system message: With a trip or system message the Action window always displays
this until it is acknowledged. If a number of unacknowledged trips or system messages exist,
the latest system message is always displayed. The Action window is only removed when no
unacknowledged trips or system messages are present.
• Action windows with warnings are overwritten. A new warning is displayed for five seconds
with an unacknowledged trip or system message.
You can acknowledge a system message or trip via the field QUIT (not present for warnings). The
value which caused the message is always displayed with the relevant units without post-decimal
places.

The operating state of the unit can be read in the display.
You can obtain this information about the parameter [151] Operating status via other sources (e.g.
the PC user program or the communications).
The protective unit can assume the following operating states:
• Operation of the normal operating state for the protective unit.
• Event
— System message with corresponding message in the display
— Trip with corresponding message in the display
— Warning with corresponding message in the display.
— Switching actions with corresponding entry in the event memory.

The entries in the event memory are subdivided into three types of events:
Trips: Tripping of the DC breaker due to activation of the definite-time over-
current time protection (UMZ), Umin monitoring, Umax monitoring, Imax
monitoring, ∆I monitoring, di/dt monitoring, cable insulation monito-
ring or the cable temperature monitoring.
System messages: Events from central unit control routines.
Switching actions: Changes to the system state due to the operating sequence. Events
in section testing and automation signals (e.g. CB ON).
The event memory is a ring buffer with 1000 records. The last 1000 events can always be ac-
cessed. The event memory is buffered so that contents are not lost during a voltage failure.
The following data are saved for each event:
• Event code
• Event value
• Event date
• Event time
You can evaluate the event memory record on the unit via the windows of the main group 3.

The alarm memory is separate from the event memory because warning events can occur very
frequently (warning thresholds set very low). The warning events would soon fill the event mem-

The alarm memory has a capacity of 256 warning records. It is organised in a ring buffer like the
event memory and its contents are retained when the supply voltage fails.
The following data is saved for each warning:
• Warning code

Fig. 23: Principle of the measurement memory
The current trace can be analysed after a warning or trip. To do this, the current trace is also re-
corded. The contents of the memory are also retained even after a voltage failure using a buffer.
The Parameter [71] Memory event defines whether the recording is stopped after a warning or a
trip.
Every 100µs the protective unit acquires a measurement. Each measurement memory saves 8190
measurements. This gives a recording time of 819ms.
The following parameters are located in the main group 4. System data in the selectable subgroup
(4.1 Basic data).
[71] Memory event : Determines whether a warning or a trip stops the recording of the
measurement memory. The measurement memory is only triggered
for warnings or trips that are triggered by the protective functions for
the current. Saving also occurs when the trigger has been inhibited.
[72] Memory mode: With this parameter you can set how the measurement memory is
treated after recording.

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
With the Normal memory mode a saved measurement trace can be

written again even if it has not yet been evaluated. The memory al-
ways contains the recording of the last trip. So that the current trace
can be analysed for the trip or warning, the measurement memory
must not be written with the present values. The present current tra-
ce is written to a second measurement memory. If a trip or warning
occurs again, then the second memory is blocked and the first me-
mory overwritten.
If the memory mode is set to Hold, then once a recording of a mea-
surement trace has been saved, it is protected against being
overwritten.
With Stop memory mode the recording of the present measurement
memory is stopped. The momentary current trace can be read out for
analysis. A trip in this memory mode results in the stopping of the
measurement memory and the second memory is then overwritten.
In the Oscilloscope memory mode the current trace for the present
measurement memory is output continuously. Since it is not possible
to transfer all measurements via the PC interface in the Oscilloscope
mode, an appropriate sampling rate must be set.
[73] Sampling rate: With this parameter you set how many measurements are recorded
in the oscilloscope mode. This makes a zoom function possible.
th
Example: With a setting “10000” each 10,000 100µs measurement
is saved (i.e. every second). This gives the possibility of recording
long-term current traces.
[74] Memory end: With a warning or trip (depending on [71] Memory event), recording
is continued up to the end of memory, so that the memory prehistory
and post-history are contained. The parameter Memory end determi-
nes the length of the post-history. The total time amounts to 819ms
(does not apply to the Oscilloscope memory mode).

[20] Shunt: Replication of the output current measurement for internal calculation

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc

Setting: [20] =3000A/60mV = 50A/mV
[21] Voltage divider: Replication of the output voltage measurement for internal calculati-
on.
Example: Rated voltage UN = 750V
Tapping on voltage divider module 1000V
Setting: [21] = Voltage divider tapping/10V = 100
[22] Analog. output: With this parameter you can select which device-internal value is to be
output on the analogue output Uout (±10V).
The replication scale of the parameterisable signals is as follows when the gain factor [P33] is set
at 1:
Signal designation Input values on the buffer amplifier As formed on analogue output.
Standardised current values Input UEI -60 mV 1.25 V
Ionstan; Iactstan; Irmsstan; Ithavstan 1mV 20.833 mV on analogue output.
Standardised voltage values Input UEU -10 V 1.25 V

Uonstan; Uactstan 1V 250 mV on analogue output.
(depends on voltage divider tapping)
Absolute current values 2 A 0.30517 mV
Ionabs; ∆Iactabs; ... 100 A 15.259 mV on analogue output.
Cable temperature 1º C 30.5175 mV on analogue output.
Absolute current values 2 A /ms 0.30517 mV

di/dtFilterabs;... 1oo A / ms 15.259 mV on analogue output.
Internal counter for acquisition 100 µs 0,30517 mV
1 s 3.0517 V on analogue output.
(sawtooth trace)
Internal operating system counter 10 ms 0.30517 mV
(sawtooth trace) on analogue output.
The output looks like this:
Uout = {Factor for analogue output [P23]} * replication value

Replication value = Current from shunt, voltage on output etc., values from table
Example 1: Ionstan is taken from a shunt 3000A/60mV. Then 60 mV input signal is

output as 1.25 V on the analogue output Uout. If now 3000A is to be
replicated as 10 V at Uout, the analogue output factor [P23] must be
set.
[P23] = 10V / 1.25 V = 8.
Example 2: Uonstan is taken from a circuit in the 1000V voltage divider module. The
buffer amplifier measures 10V = ±1000V. The 10 V of input signal are
output as 1.25 V on the analogue output Uout. If now 2000V is to be
replicated as 10 V at Uout, the analogue output factor [P23) must be
set.
[P23] = (1000V/2000V*10V )/ 1.25 V = 4.

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
[23] Gain analog out : Integer gain of selected value before output to the analogue output.
[72] Memory mode: With this parameter you can set how the measurement memory is
treated after recording.
With the Normal memory mode a saved measurement trace can be
written again even if it has not yet been evaluated. The memory al-
ways contains the recording of the last trip. So that the current trace
can be analysed for the trip or warning, the measurement memory
must not be written with the present values. The present current tra-
ce is written to a second measurement memory. If a trip or warning
occurs again, then the second memory is blocked and the first me-
mory overwritten.
If the memory mode is set to Hold, then once a recording of a mea-
surement trace has been saved, it is protected against being
overwritten.
With the Stop memory mode the recording of the present measure-
ment memory is stopped. The momentary current trace can be read
out for analysis. A trip in this memory mode results in the stopping of
the measurement memory and the second memory is then overwrit-
ten.
In the Oscilloscope memory mode the current trace for the present
measurement memory is output continuously. Since it is not possible
to transfer all measurements via the PC interface in the Oscilloscope
mode, an appropriate sampling rate must be set.
[73] Sampling rate: With this parameter you set how many measurements are recorded
in the oscilloscope mode. This makes a zoom function possible.
th
Example: With a setting “10000” each 10,000 100µs measurement
is saved (i.e. every second). This gives the possibility of recording
long-term current traces.
[74] Memory end: With a warning or trip (depending on [71] Memory event), recording
is continued up to the end of memory, so that the memory prehistory
and post-history are contained. The parameter Memory end determi-
nes the length of the post-history. The total time amounts to 819ms
(does not apply to the Oscilloscope memory mode).
[109] Temp. unit: Selects whether the temperature parameter is displayed in °C or °F.
This setting is made in the subgroup 4.1 Basic data. The parameter
entries are automatically converted from °C to °F and vice versa.
[145] Change password: A new password, which must be confirmed when changing the
access level using the parameter [P144], can be entered with this pa-
rameter.
NOTE
Please take special note of the changed password. A change of access level is only
possible with the password.

[80] Action trip: You can define whether the trip output is to be driven as reaction to
an infringement of the trip criterion.
This parameter is intended for commissioning and tests.
WARNING
The complete protective function of the unit can be switched off with this parameter!
After termination of all commissioning and set-up work, it must be ensured that this
parameter is set to trip again.
[81] Action sys.mess.: You can define whether the trip output is to be driven as reaction to a
system message. A prerequisite is that the reaction has not been
switched off with Parameter [80] Action trip.

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
NOTE
With the Message setting the operator must ensure that messages which occur are
analysed as quickly as possible (trouble-shooting).
300µs after the detection of the cause of the trip, the 24 V DC output and the 250 V DC thyristor
output are driven. The reaction of the 24 V DC trip output (CB OFF; Abbr.: A10; Terminal: X2:3) to
a trip can be influenced by the following parameters:
[83] Trip contact: You can switch the 24 V DC trip output between normally closed and
normally open contacts.
[83] NC contact: The 24 V DC trip output is active on the closed circuit principle. When
a trip occurs, an internal link is established to the device ground (Ima-
ximum 400mA).
[83] NO contact: The 24 V DC trip output is active in the open circuit principle. When a
trip occurs, an internal link is established to 24 V DC (Imaximum
400mA).
With the automatic system enabled the effect of the output is defined via the selection of the
feeder type [711].
The reaction of the 250 V DC capacitor trip output (CB OFF; Abbr. P5; Terminal: X1:4) to a trip can
be influenced by the following parameters:
[84] Trip 250 V DC: You can switch the 250 V DC capacitor trip output on/off with this
parameter.
WARNING
This parameter may only be set to ON when the output is connected, otherwise
SITRAS DPU 96 will send the fault message "Not ready"
The unit is used on the section feeder with current being able to flow in both directions. For the
protective function the magnitude of the current is always relevant. With the Parameter Current
direction you can link the trip to a defined current direction:
[85] Current direction: This is used to restrict the short-circuit trip to one current direction.
Here the following possibilities are permitted:
bipolar: Trip in both current directions
positive: Trip only for positive currents
negative: Trip only for negative currents
The protective functions Imax and Iumz can normally be set separa-
tely for both measurement directions and are not affected by this pa-
rameter.
An unwanted reaction of the monitoring to switching processes in the system (e.g. due to
switching in another feeder) can be prevented by the following two parameters:

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
[86] Respons block 1: Switches the voltage-dependent response block ON or OFF. If the
feeder is switched onto a line that is already live, the current is redi-
stributed. Very high current slopes can be reached.
With ON you activate a dead time of 200ms, which runs from swit-
ching onto a section which is already live. Then the protective func-
tion is automatically activated.
[87] Respons block 2: Switches the voltage-dependent response block ON or OFF. On clo-
sing onto a network with high switch-on currents, the protective de-
vice may also trip. With ON you activate a dead time of 200ms which
runs from switching onto a section. Thereafter, the protective func-
tion is automatically activated.

It gives the settings Blocks 1 and 2 for a fixed arrangement or the

5. Protective functions
Under the main group the individual protection functions of the unit can be parameterised in sub-
groups.
'YVVIRXQSRMXSVMRKKIRIVEP
During operation various situations can arise which cause the tripping of the DC breaker by the
central unit.
The trip functions can be differentiated as:
• Absolute value Imax
• Current step change ∆I
• Rate of rise di/dt and
• UMZ

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
• Minimum voltage Umin

• Maximum voltage Umax
• Cable temperature
• Cable insulation
• Cable screen
For each of the tripping cases current step change ∆I, current slope di/dt and temperature moni-
toring there are tripping and warning thresholds. For the other trips there is only a trip threshold.
• Warning threshold: If the value found for the current step change ∆I, the current slope di/dt or
the cable temperature exceeds the corresponding warning threshold, then a message is
shown on the display and the warning output is activated. The warning output remains active
for at least 2 seconds. After the value falls below the warning threshold, the output is reset
automatically.
Trip threshold: If the value found exceeds the relevant threshold, then a message is shown in the
display and the Trip output also becomes active. Using a parameter, you can set whether the trip
output is activated as a reaction to the exceeding of the trip criterion. The signal outputs remain
active until the trip is acknowledged.
With a “close short circuit” (trip of the monitoring current step change ∆I) the output delayed trip
also becomes active. With a “remote short circuit” (trip of the monitoring current slope) the output
undelayed trip becomes active. When the trip threshold for the cable temperature is exceeded,
the output thermal trip is controlled.
A2 (-X2:30): Signal di/dt trip, IUMZ, IUMZ rev (delayed trip)
A3 (-X2:31): Signal Imax, Imax rev, ∆I trip (undelayed trip)
A4 (-X2:32): Signal output for temperature trip. This output remains driven until
the calculated temperature has reduced by the amount set in the hy-
steresis for cable temperature [119].
The trip functions are subdivided into subgroups.
5.1 I max
The momentary current is monitored for a maximum current Imax. If this limit is exceeded for the
time period "Imax delay", a trip is initiated.
In the normal case the time period Imax is set to 0ms.
This value should only be changed if you want to provide multi-level protection with the primary
trip of the breaker.

The limit Imax and the permitted duration for exceeding the limit can be set with the following pa-
rameters:

88 I max delay ms EP EXP Delay period for trip.
90 I trip A EP STA- Trip threshold for maximum current.
91 I trip rev A EP STA Trip threshold for maximum current in reverse direction.
[88] I max delay: In ms, adjustable in a resolution of 0.1ms. This value should be zero if
it is to include no delay in the Imax trip.
[90] I trip : 500 A to 20000 A, adjustable in a resolution of 1 A. The value speci-
fies the Imax trip threshold.
[91] I trip rev: 500 A to 20000 A, adjustable in a resolution of 1 A. The value speci-
fies the Imax trip threshold in the reverse direction. This is of use du-
ring recovery or through coupling.
5.2 ∆I
A current step change is regarded as a change of current with a slope which is higher than can
occur in normal operation. A short circuit is detected before the peak current is reached. This
means that the system is loaded less when tripping the direct current. On account of the fast rise
of current during short circuits in the vicinity of the feeder point, the current trace is sampled and
assessed.

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
With ∆I monitoring the current difference ∆I between a new measurement and the internally
saved base value is formed. The base value for finding the current step change is saved in a regis-
ter. If the current slope is less than a minimum di/dt ([96] ∆I di/dt), then the present current value
becomes the new base value.
If the difference between the present measurement and the base value exceeds the set warning
threshold, a warning is activated. On exceeding the trip threshold, a trip is produced and the DC
breaker opens.
Unwanted trips due to ∆I monitoring of the current peaks can be prevented with the parameter ∆I
delay.
There are the following parameters for the undelayed short-circuit monitoring, cf. Fig. 31 on page
84.
e cess
level
92 ∆I trip A EP STA ∆I trip threshold
94 ∆I alarm % EP STA % ∆I alarm threshold
95 ∆I delay ms EP STA Delay period until earliest trip initiation
96 ∆I di/dt A/ms EP STA Current slope which must be exceeded so that a ∆I current step change is
detected.
97 ∆I:di/dt durat. ms EP STA Time period in which the current value must remain below the current
slope ∆I di/dt so that a new ∆I current step change is detected.
[92] ∆I trip: Trip threshold from 100 A to 10,000 A, adjustable in a resolution of

1 A. If the traction current exceeds this value after the expiry of the
delay period ∆I delay, then a trip is initiated.
[94] ∆I alarm Alarm threshold of 10% to 110% of the trip threshold ∆I trip, adju-
stable in a resolution of 1%. If the traction current exceeds this value
after the delay period ∆I delay, an alarm is triggered.
The alarm function can be switched off by setting the alarm threshold
to 110%.
[95] ∆I delay Delay period from 0 to 20ms, adjustable in a resolution of 0.1ms. A ∆I
trip is only initiated when the traction current still exceeds the trip
threshold after expiry of the delay period. A setting of 0ms switches
the delay off.
[96] ∆I di/dt: Current slope from 0A/ms to 400A/ms, adjustable in a resolution of
1A/ms. If the di/dt current slope exceeds this value, the ∆I detection
is started. The present current value becomes the base value for the
∆I monitoring. The trip is initiated when the trip threshold ∆I trip with
respect to the base value is exceeded and the delay period ∆I delay
has expired. If the di/dt current slope drops below this value for a cer-
tain period (∆I di/dt duration), then the present current value is taken
as the new base value.
[97] ∆I di/dt durat Time from 0 ms to 4 ms, adjustable in a resolution of 0.1ms. If, du-
ring a running ∆I detection, the current slope falls below the current

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc

detection is stopped. The present current value is taken as the base
value for the ∆I monitoring.

rents.

Sharp rise in current which exceeds the permissible (preset) current step change ∆I. The preset ∆I
di/dt duration is not exceeded due to the interruption in the rise.
(4) No trip, ∆I di/dt duration is exceeded.
The preset ∆I di/dt duration is exceeded due to the interruption in the rise of current, i.e. a new
current slope detection is started. This means that although the ∆I trip is exceeded, no trip is acti-
vated, because the “& logic condition” for the trip is not satisfied.
With a “close short circuit” (trip of monitoring current step change ∆I) the output undelayed trip
(A3) is also active.
5.3 di/dt
The most remote short circuit must be detected and tripped. The parameter settings for the di/dt
monitoring must be made accordingly.

[100] di/dt trip: 2A/ms to 200A/ms, adjustable in a resolution of 1A/ms. If the current
slope exceeds this value for longer than the set period [102] di/dt du-
ration, a trip is initiated.
[101] di/dt alarm: Alarm threshold of 10% to 110% of maximum current slope di/dt in a
resolution of 1%. If the current slope exceeds this value for longer
than the set time [102] di/dt duration, then an alarm is displayed. The
alarm function can be set to be inactive by setting the alarm thres-
hold to 110%.
[102] di/dt duration: 6 to 200ms, adjustable in a resolution of 1ms. The momentary value
for the current slope di/dt must continuously exceed the trip thres-
hold or the alarm threshold during this period for an alarm or a trip to
be produced.

Explanation of Fig. 32:

(Case 1) Trip, di/dt trip and di/dt duration are exceeded.
(Case 2) No trip, di/dt duration is not reached.
By increasing the di/dt duration no trip is activated. The unit detects remote short circuits
by monitoring the current slope di/dt via the time di/dt duration. If the current slope con-
tinuously exceeds the threshold value for a certain time, an alarm or trip occurs.
With a “remote” short circuit (triggering of the monitoring current slope) the output delayed trip
(A2) also becomes active.

5.4 UMZ/Umin/Umax:
Three different types of protection can be parameterised in the subgroup UMZ/Umin/Umax.
UMZ trip
With definite-time overcurrent-time protection (UMZ) longer sustained currents which do not con-
form to any regular operating situation are taken into consideration. Here the current in the feeder
direction is monitored as well as in the reverse, recovery direction (indicated with rev).

5.5 Cable temp.

The operating temperature of the contact line or of the feeder cable can be monitored. The maxi-
mum permissible operating temperature can be exceeded during overloads without the short cir-
cuit monitoring detecting a fault.

the temperature protection trip.

For the temperature trip the temperature is calculated from the current values, physical parame-
ters and the ambient temperature based on a thermal model. Here the contact line or the cable is
regarded as an ideal thermal conductor. In the calculation only the thermal conduction is consid-
ered. This results in the following thermal model:

temperature.
Since no measurement is available for the ambient temperature, you
must enter the maximum occurring ambient temperature. If no over-
load occurs for this temperature, then tripping will also not occur for
lower temperatures.

driven (CB OFF) and the drive is removed from the signal output
when the temperature has fallen to a value lower than the trip tem-
perature [115] minus the Hysteresis cable temperature [119].
When the trip threshold for the cable temperature is exceeded the output thermal trip (A4) is set.

WARNING
In the test mode the central unit cannot drive the digital outputs as required by the
program function, but instead only according to the currently specified details. This
means that trips may be prevented, causing damage. Also, damage may be caused by
the setting of individual outputs without due consideration of the connected equip-
ment. Once testing is finished, the test mode must be switched off. The central unit
automatically switches the test mode off 10 min after the last operation.
[171] Action mode: Switches off the action mode on the unit.
This means that operating statuses can be observed better for test
purposes without the action windows superimposing on the informa-
tion.

6.1.6.1.5 Evaluation of event/ alarm memory

Using the statistics functions of the central unit you can determine how often certain events have
occurred. The time at which the corresponding parameter was set is always taken as the evalua-
tion time.
[60] Filter time event: The setting EMPTY signifies that no time marker is set and causes
the complete event memory to be searched. With SET you define
the current time as the marker and all new events after this time can
be evaluated. The marker is deleted again with DELETE.
[61] Filter type event: This parameter specifies the type of event which is used for the
evaluation result trip/event e.g. trip di/dt).
[62] Event memory: This parameter contains the number of events of the selected type in
the event memory since the evaluation time.
[65] Filter time warn: The EMPTY setting causes the complete alarm memory to be sear-
ched. With SET you define the current time as the marker and all
new warnings after this time can be evaluated. The marker is deleted
again with DELETE.
[66] Filter type warn: This parameter specifies the type of event which is used for the
evaluation result Warning (e.g. Warning di/dt).
[67] Alarm memory : This parameter contains the number of warnings of the selected type
in the alarm memory since the evaluation time.

6.2.1 Introduction
Today serial field buses are usually employed as communication systems for the interchange of
information with the SITRAS DPU96, both with the automation systems and with the connected
decentralised field devices. All the relevant information such as input and output data, parameters
and diagnostic data can be transferred over just two wires.
PROFIBUS is an international, open field bus standard which has been standardised in the field
bus standard EN 50 170.
The PROFIBUS standard EN 50 170 describes the versatile performance features of PROFIBUS
and you are referred to it if any uncertainty arises.
6.2.2 PROFIBUS: Brief technical description
6.2.2.1 Fundamental characteristics

PROFIBUS defines the technical and functional features of a serial field bus system with which
distributed digital automation equipment from the field level through to the cell level can be linked
together in a network. PROFIBUS differentiates between master and slave devices.
Master devices control the data traffic on the bus. A master may send messages without external
requests if it possesses the bus access right (token). Masters are also designated in the
PROFIBUS protocol as active stations.
Slave devices are peripheral devices. Typical slave devices are input and output devices, valves,
drives, measuring transducers and in this case the SITRAS®DPU 96 Digital Protective Unit. They
receive no bus access right, i.e. they can only acknowledge received messages or transfer mes-
sages to a master on request. Slaves are also designated as passive stations. They only need a
small part of the bus protocol, enabling an inexpensive implementation.
PROFIBUS provides trouble-free communication of devices from different manufacturers using
special interface adaptation. PROFIBUS is also suitable for fast, time-critical data transfers, as well
as extensive and complex communication tasks, see Fig. 1. PROFIBUS consists of a family of
three compatible variants.
Due to the high speed and the low connection costs PROFIBUS-DP was selected for the SITRAS®
DPU96 unit.
PROFIBUS-DP
This PROFIBUS variant which has been optimised for speed and low connection costs, has been
specially tailored for communications between automation systems and decentralised peripheral
devices at the field level. PROFIBUS-DP is suitable as a substitute for conventional, parallel signal
transmission with 24V or 0-20mA.
6.2.2.2 Device master data GSD

PROFIBUS devices have different performance features. They differ in relation to the functions
which are available (e.g. number of I/O signals, diagnostic messages) or the possible bus parame-

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
ters such as baud rate and time monitoring. These parameters are individual to each device type
and manufacturer. They are normally documented in the device operating manual. In order to pro-
vide simple Plug & Play configuration for PROFIBUS, the characteristic device features are defined
in the form of an electronic device data sheet (device master data file, i.e. GSD file.). The stan-
dardised GSD data extends open communications to the operating level. With configuration tools
based on GSD files, the integration of devices from various manufacturers into one bus system is
simple and user-friendly.
The device master data describes the features of a device type clearly and comprehensively in a
precisely defined format. The GSD is individually produced by the device manufacturer for each
device type and made available to the user in the form of a device master data sheet. Due to the
defined file format the configuration system can simply read in the device master data from any
PROFIBUS-DP device, automatically including it in the configuration of the bus system. The project
design engineer no longer needs to search through device manuals. The configuration system can
automatically carry out checks for entry errors even during the configuration phase and test the
consistency of the entered data in relation to the overall system.
The device master data file is subdivided into three sections:
• General definitions
This section supplies details about the manufacturer and device names, hardware and soft-
ware versions as well as the baud rates that are supported, the possible time spans for moni-
toring times and the signal assignment on the bus connector.
• Definitions relating to the DP master
In this section all parameters are recorded which are relevant only to DP master devices, e.g.:
the maximum number of DP slaves that can be connected or the upload and download possi-
bilities. This section is not present with slave devices.
• Definitions relating to DP slaves
Here, all details specific to slaves are given, e.g. the number and type of I/O channels, defini-
tion of diagnostic texts and details about the consistency of the I/O data.
The parameters are separated in the individual sections by code words. There is a difference be-
tween mandatory parameters (e.g. Vendor_name) and optional parameters (e.g.
Sync_mode_supported). The definition of parameter groups facilitates the selection of options. In
addition there is the possibility of integrating bit-map files with the device symbols. The GSD for-
mat is designed to be very flexible. It contains both listings, such as for example details of which
baud rates the device supports as well as ways of describing the modules made available by a
modular device. Plain text can also be allocated to the diagnostic messages.
GSD library in the WWW
The GSD files of all PROFIBUS-DP devices are made available via the servers at the PROFIBUS
User Organisation. The address is:
http://www.profibus.com/
Ident number
Each DP slave and each DP master of Class 1 must have an ident number. This is required so that
a master can identify the types of connected devices without any significant protocol overhead.
The master compares the ident number of the connected DP devices with the ident numbers in
the configuration data specified in the configuration tool. The user data transfer is then only started
when the correct device types are connected to the bus with the correct station addresses. This
provides high security against configuration errors.

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
The ident number of the SITRAS® DPU96 is 8051HEX.

The option enables the synchronisation of the time and date in the protective units.
An appropriate transfer profile must be selected to be able to use this option. By setting the corre-
sponding time synchronisation bit (D5.15), the time is accepted into the unit from the message
due to the positive edge. The accuracy of the synchronisation is +/- 200ms.

The task of the section switchgear is to distribute the direct current from the rectifier to the sec-
tion segments. In this respect the highest possible availability must be ensured in the feeder ar-
eas, also during operational faults.
Solution concept:
Employment of special switchgear with high-speed circuit breakers which can selectively switch
off the feeder segments during faults. The short contact opening and arcing times ensure effec-
tive limiting of the short circuit current.
Accommodation of the high-speed breaker in a compact truck without disconnectors, which in the
case of a fault can be withdrawn in the shortest possible time and replaced with a substitute
truck.
To protect the section output and to monitor and control the truck system, a separate SITRAS
DPU96, which is integrated into the low voltage compartment of the section output, is used for
each section panel.
An additional increase in availability is achieved by this panel control function with an integrated
automatic test and reclosure system which automatically recloses the section breaker after tem-
porary short circuits.
The automation and control of the section breaker occurs in a fixed specified form. These func-

The high-speed breaker panel is controlled from the SITRAS DPU96 with the section panel control
function with integrated automatic test and reclosing system. All opening and closing commands
required for operation are output from the SITRAS DPU96, both in local operation as well as with
control via telecontrol.
The opening and closing of the high-speed DC breaker as required for operation can take place via:
• Illuminated pushbutton in the cabinet door,
• binary signals from the telecontrol via digital inputs or serial signals from the telecontrol or a
centralised operating console (Operator Panel) via PROFIBUS (EN 50170 Part 2).
In the basic version of the SITRAS 8MF94 example system the following operating equipment is
fitted to the door of the low voltage compartment:

Fig. 44: SITRAS 8MF94 low voltage compartment
In the switched-off state and with the control voltage present the illuminated pushbutton OFF is lit
permanently. When switched on during operation, a section test is first carried out automatically
and also the illuminated pushbutton ON flashes. If the section has no short circuits, the high-speed
DC breaker closes, the pushbutton ON changes to being continuously lit and the pushbutton OFF
goes out.
With a (sustained) short circuit on the section segment the high-speed DC breaker is blocked
against reclosure, the flashing illuminated pushbutton ON goes out and the signal lamp Group
alarm is continuously lit.
An overcurrent trip (Imax, ∆I, di/dt) of a DC breaker that has been operationally closed results in an
automatic section test and reclosure.
A trip of the cable temperature monitoring of a DC breaker that has been operationally closed re-
sults in the an automatic section test and reclosure if the calculated actual cable temperature falls
below the trip temperature minus the hysteresis temperature.
The button Direct ON is intended exclusively for closing the high-speed DC breaker without prior
section testing by the SITRAS DPU96. The protective equipment is set to function irrespective of
this.
NOTE
In contrast to operational closure, the automatic operation of the section test equip-
ment is not activated with Direct ON. An overcurrent trip of a DC breaker closed with
Direct ON does not result in an automatic section test and reclosure.
The operational possibilities are limited by the position of the local/remote selection switch:
This selection is also possible by command from a local operating panel via the PROFIBUS if the
unit is fitted with this option.
Closure of the CB
The CB is closed by a
• remote or LOCAL – CB ON – command (activation of the automatic test and reclosure sys-
tem)
• CB DIRECT ON - command

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
Opening of the CB
The CB and also the automatic test and reclosure system is switched off by:
• Remote or LOCAL – CB OFF – command or
• Operation of the truck locking shaft or
• Blocking by the frame fault protection
• Fault in the automation
• Optional inputs
Tripping of the CB
If the CB is switched off by a unit protective function trip (Imax, ∆I, di/dt,....) or via the overcurrent
trip (primary protection), then the automatic reclosing system is active if the CB was closed opera-
tionally.
Selection remote
Closure of the high-speed DC breaker:
• Remote command CB ON
• Local Direct CB ON
Opening the high-speed DC breaker:

• Remote command CB OFF
• Local command CB OFF
Selection local
Closure of the high-speed DC breaker:
• Local command CB ON
• Local Direct CB ON
Opening the high-speed DC breaker:

• Local command CB OFF
Operation in disconnected / test position

In the disconnected / test position all the previously mentioned switching operations can be car-
ried out without risk.
Operation in the removed position
In the removed position the high-speed DC breaker can only be closed if the information regarding
the CB operating position and a defined CB position are available in the switchgear (Note: Simula-
tion).

Practice has shown that rail electrification systems are more subject to frequently occurring pulse
type overloads and temporary short circuits than to infrequently occurring sustained short circuits.
In order to restrict the time for the failure of the affected feeder segment, protection and control
equipment is employed which, after a CB ON command or immediately after an overcurrent trip,

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
tests the affected segment for short circuits and recloses the appropriate section breaker if no
short circuit is present.
This protection and control equipment operates to a program consisting of tests, test pauses and
closures of the CB with successful testing or closure blocking of the CB after a number of unsuc-
cessful test attempts. In the latter case the message “Sustained short circuit” [A8] occurs.
The determination of the section state “no short circuits” occurs using a test resistance and test
contactor. The voltage drop arising across the residual resistance is measured. If it exceeds an
adjustable limit, then the contact line has no short circuit. With the option Test current measure-
ment / residual resistance determination the test current is also measured and calculated with the
residual voltage across the residual resistance.
The test sequence program is shown graphically and described in Fig. 45 on page 136.

Each section panel is controlled by a separate SITRAS DPU96. This gives the overall system a high
reliability.
An additional increase in the system availability is achieved by the following measures:
• SITRAS DPU96 overload and temperature protected output signals.
• Fault diagnosis of especially critical output signals.
• System monitoring

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
Fault diagnosis of especially critical output signals

The control signals for CB ON and test contactor ON are output to the process via a DO which can
be checked diagnostically. Through the diagnostic function integrated into the operating system
the program detects if a short circuit is present in the output circuit of the board (conducting, failed
output circuit). With diagnosed short circuit the output signals “CB ON”. “Test contactor ON” and
the activation of the series connected enable signal are blocked by the program.
An assumed output fault on the DO is therefore detected and overcome with the process re-
maining safe. (Fig. 48, page 140)
This detected fault is signalled and displayed.
Due to the signal on detection of the fault, the availability of the system can be substantially in-
creased.

The power transfer between the substation and the section feeder for metro and rapid transit
railways with DC drives often occurs using screened power cable. A closed screen is in this case
located between the actual wire and the outer insulation as with a coaxial cable. Fig. 63 shows the
composition of this type of cable in cross-section.
Wire
Inner insulation
Screen
Outer insulation
Fig. 63: Feeder cable cross-section
In order to ensure the operational reliability of the cable and to be able to replace the cable
promptly with ageing, the inner insulation resistance (wire ⇔ screen) and the outer insulation re-
sistance (screen ⇔ earth) are separately measured and evaluated. In addition a short circuit as
occurs between the wire and the screen when damage is caused, e.g. due to an excavator, should
be measured, where possible, separately and quickly to switch off the voltage in the cable. Fig. 64
shows the electrical equivalent circuit for the cable.

Fig. 64: Equivalent circuit of feeder cable
In parallel to the two insulation resistances there are cable capacitances (about 1µF/km) between
the wire and screen and between the screen and earth. For protection against electric shock the
voltage between the screen and earth must not exceed the VDE limits when in operation.
Apart from the insulation resistances, monitoring of the screen is often required, i.e. a checkback
message of whether the screen at the end of the cable is still connected to the beginning of the
cable. Damage to the screen can have serious consequences as no measurement of the insulation
resistance can be carried out for this cable section.

With the SITRAS® DPU96 CI the main feature is that the series resistance is replaced by a regu-

In order to enable an absolute measurement of the resistance values with any ratios and values of
the insulation resistances Rws and Rse, the voltage is switched between two values, e.g. 20V and
60V. This produces different currents between the cable and the monitoring unit. Both insulation
resistances Rws and Rse can be calculated as absolute values from the current values, the corre-
sponding voltage values as well as the wire and wire-to-earth voltages.

Using current sources, which can be switched in as required, an additional current Itest is fed into
the cable at the end of the screen at the end of a normal measurement cycle (measurement of the
current I diff at two different screen / wire-to-earth voltages Uset). The measured values for the
current Idiff should therefore change. If there are no changes, then this is a clear indication that
there is no connection between the two ends of the screen.

The signals and function blocks occurring within this structure have the following meanings:
• Rs: Series resistance connected to the wire for supplying the circuit and for feeding the insu-
lation resistance between the screen and the earth.
• Rtest: Resistance through which an additional current is coupled to the end of the screen. It is
used in conjunction with the switch for screen monitoring.
• 30V source with DC/DC converter: Supplies the complete circuit with power.
• Voltage regulator with screen ⇔ earth voltage source: Produces an injected voltage between
screen and earth. Apart from the control signal for the voltage source, the voltage regulator
also supplies the signals of whether the set voltage value Uset has already been reached and
whether an overvoltage is present due to a wire ⇔ screen short circuit.
• Protection: Protective circuit to protect the voltage source against overvoltages when a wire
⇔ screen short circuit occurs with a screen / earth voltage of up to 3kV.
• Microcontroller: Controls the measurement procedure (measurement of Idiff at two different
Uset voltages), screen monitoring, evaluation of the status signals from the voltage regulator
and monitoring of the measurement circuit. The information (currents and status messages)
are transferred as messages to the buffer amplifier and then via an optical fibre cable to the
higher level controller / protective unit which calculates the individual resistances from the raw
data and initiates further actions (e.g. isolation of the section) according to the status.
When voltage is present on the cable monitoring module and the cable monitoring is switched on,
this monitoring function operates. The average over a timer period of about 20 seconds is formed
from a number of consecutive measurements.

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
When the module fails, the fault is detected and signalled.

The short circuit between the wire and screen is detected and evaluated without any delay.

In order to be able to assess circuit breaker wear, the magnitude of the opening currents are
added and saved. The calculation of the breaking currents is triggered by the following events.
• Protective trip:
With a trip the highest current value in the tripping curve is found and added to the summed
current.
• Switch-off:
When the circuit breaker is switched off, the maximum value during the last 200ms is found
and added to the total.
The displayable limit of the summing parameter cannot be reached according to the maximum
opening currents specified by the manufacturer.
Example:
If about 4000-5000 openings at rated current are taken as the summed loading, then with a rated
current of 2.5 kA a summed current of 10,000-13,000MA is obtained.
After replacement of the breaker contacts, the summed current [13] can be reset to acquire the

First carry out the following tests.
9RMXXIWXERHQSRMXSVMRKJYRGXMSRW
7IPJXIWX
After switching on, the unit automatically starts the self-test. Here, the following tests are carried
out:
• EPROM checksum: The program stored in EPROM is secured by a checksum. This enables
the detection of data errors in the memory. If an error is detected, a system message is re-
leased and the unit attempts to go into operation despite the error.
• RAM test : Test of the RAM memory.
The measurement memory is buffered for at least one hour. With the RAM test a check is
made of whether valid measurement information is present in the memory. If no valid infor-
mation is present, the measurement memory is released for writing. If valid information is
found, the content of the measurement memory is retained (e.g. for failure and restoration of
the supply voltage within the buffer period).
With a RAM error a system message is released and the unit attempts to go into operation
despite the error.

DPU96_BA_A3_E.doc
Maintenance
• EEPROM test: The content of the EEPROM in which the parameter settings are saved is also
secured with a checksum. The data is saved in two identical blocks in the EEPROM. If one
block contains an error, parameters are taken from the block which is still intact. If an errone-
ous checksum is found, a system message is issued. If both blocks are invalid, the default
values are loaded.
• Optical fibre cable: The data transfer from the buffer amplifier to the central unit via the optical
fibre cable is continually monitored. If the link fails, a system message is released. Since the
optical fibre cable is also monitored during operation, the self-test is not cancelled even with a
fault.
• Breaker tripping: When the unit with capacitor tripping is switched on, the capacitors are
charged. They contain the energy for the high-speed tripping of the breaker. If the capacitors
are charged after 6 seconds, the self-test is successful. If this does not happen, then a sys-
tem message is released. Since the capacitor voltage is monitored also during operation, the
self-test is not cancelled even with a fault.
The reaction to a system message during the self-test depends on the value of Parameter [81]
Action system message. Whether the trigger output is activated or not depends on the setting of
this parameter.
3TIVEXMSR
Diagnostic tests during operation:
• Optical fibre cable: Data transfer from the buffer amplifier via the optical fibre cable is continu-
ously monitored. If the link fails, a system message is released.
• Shunt connection: The buffer amplifier continually checks the connection to the shunt. The
buffer amplifier signals the information to the central unit. If a fault is found, then a system
message is released in the central unit.
• Breaker tripping: The capacitor voltage is continually monitored during operation. If the voltage
falls below the minimum of 220V DC, a system message is released.
• PC link : If an existing link to the PC fails, a warning is displayed.
• Communications link (Extended Level 2): A warning is produced when the communications
link fails.
-RXIVREP[EXGLHSK
The program cycle time is continually monitored. If it is found that the time has been exceeded
(e.g. due to an internal fault or voltage dip), then the microprocessor is reset. The processor de-
termines whether the program start was caused by the unit being switched on or by the internal
watchdog.
The intervention of the internal watchdog is indicated by a system message. Operation is not in-
terrupted.

collapses. As a reaction to this, the system saves the most important system information in the
buffered memory area. The memory is protected against uncontrolled writing when the operating
voltage collapses.
