1. RECEPTION, HANDLING, INSTALLATION
1.1. Unpacking
Relays must only be handled by qualified personnel and special care must be taken to protectall of their parts from any damage while they are being unpacked and installed. The use ofgood illumination is recommended to facilitate the equipment visual inspection. The facility mustbe clean and dry and relays should not be stored in places that are exposed to dust or humidity.Special care must be taken if construction work is taking place.
1.2. Reception of relays
It is necessary to inspect the equipment at the time it is delivered to ensure that the relays havenot been damaged during transport.
If any defect is found, the transport company and FANOX should be informed immediately.
If the relays are not for immediate use, they should be returned to their original packaging.
1.3. Handling electronic equipment
Relays contain an electronic component that is sensitive to electrostatic discharges.
Just by moving, a person can build up an electrostatic potential of several thousand volts.Discharging this energy into electronic components can cause serious damage to electroniccircuits. It is possible that this damage may not be detected straight away, but the electroniccircuit reliability and life will be reduced. This electronic component in the equipment is wellprotected by the metal housing, which should not be removed as the equipment cannot beadjusted internally.
If it is necessary to disassemble the electronic component, this must be carried out with careand contact with electronic components, printed circuits and connections must be avoided toprevent an electrostatic discharge that could damage one of the components. If the electroniccomponents are stored outside the metal housing, they must be placed in an antistaticconductive bag.
If it is necessary to open a module, care must be taken to preserve the equipment reliability and
the duration of the life cycle as designed by the manufacturer by taking the following actions:
Touch the housing to ensure that you have the same potential
Avoid touching the electronic components and handle the module by its edges.
Remember that everyone who handles the module must have the same potential.
Use a conductive bag to transport the module.
For more information about how to handle electronic circuits, consult official documents such asthe IEC 147-OF.

1.4. Installation, commissioning and service
The personnel in charge of installing, commissioning and maintaining this equipment must bequalified and must be aware of the procedures for handling it. The product documentationshould be read before installing, commissioning or carrying out maintenance work on theequipment.
Personnel should take specific protection measures to avoid the risk of electronic dischargewhen access is unlocked on the rear part of the equipment.
In order to guarantee safety, the crimp terminal and a suitable tool must be used to meetisolation requirements on the terminal strip. Crimped terminations must be used for the voltageand current connections.
It is necessary to connect the equipment to earth through the corresponding terminal, using theshortest possible cable. As well as guaranteeing safety for the personnel, this connectionallows high frequency noise to be evacuated directly to earth.
The following checks must be performed before the equipment is supplied:
The rated voltage and polarity. The power rating of the CT circuit and the integrity of the connections.
The integrity of the earth connection.
The equipment must be used within the stipulated electrical and environmental limits.
Note referred to current transformer circuits: Do not open a live CT secondary circuit. The highvoltage produced as a result could damage the isolation and threaten lives.
1.5. Storage
If the relays are not going to be installed immediately, they must be stored in a dust- andhumidity free environment after the visual inspection has been performed.
1.6. Recycling
Before recycling the equipment, the capacitors should be discharged through the externalterminals. All electrical power sources should be removed before performing this operation toavoid the risk of electrical discharge.
This product must be disposed of in a safe way. It should not be incinerated or brought into
contact with water sources like rivers, lakes, etc

3. DESCRIPTION
3.1. Introduction
Worldwide, the energy sector is currently undergoing a profound change as a result of highlevels of energy demand; more distribution lines and advanced supervision systems arerequired. Given the need for creating intelligent infrastructure, FANOX has developed the SIAfamily of products to carry out this function.
The family of SIA relays is designed to protect the secondary transformation and distributioncentres of electricity grids. Protection features include protection against instantaneous andinverse time overcurrent (for the phases and the neutral), and it also has external trip support(temperature, pressure, etc.) depending on the characteristics of each model.
The protection functions can be enabled selectively by using both the front panel and thecommunications links to the SIcom program, allowing for precise coordination with otherequipment.
One of the most significant features of the SIA-C is that it eliminates the need for maintenance,as it uses the operating current to power itself. Additional benefits include that all of the modelshave been designed to be supplied from an external battery. This is aimed at facilitating eventmanagement and the commissioning of centres, as well as allowing it to operate properly underadverse conditions.

The SIA-C equipment is a protection relay designed for secondary distribution. One of its maincharacteristics is the ability to power itself by using the cell current. Standard 5A or 1A
secondary current transformers are used for this, which allow self power with lower levels ofcurrent.
The equipment is operative with 0.2 times the secondaryrated single-phase current and with 0.1 times thesecondary rated three-phase current; in other words, theequipment powers itself with 1 A of single-phase currentand with 0.5 A of three-phase current with the SIAC5*models, and the equipment powers itself with 200 mA ofsingle-phase current and with 0.100A of three-phasecurrent with the SIAC1* models. It is important toconsider that, despite of the device starts up with thosevalues and trip output is activated in those values, toactivate the other optional outputs (phase trip and
neutral trip) it is needed a minimum of 0.330 times thesecondary rated single-phase current and a minimum of0.200 times the secondary rated three-phase current.

The equipment is maintenance free when this type of power supply is used, as it does notrequire auxiliary power components (batteries). As a result, it is especially useful in any centreswere auxiliary power is not available or cannot be guaranteed. As well as using the current topower itself, it can also be powered from a 12V battery and an auxiliary power source (optional,
can be selected for each model).It has phase and neutral overcurrent protection functions. As an option, which can be selected
for each model, it can be fitted with a direct trip input, normally connected to a bimetallic contactwhich is activated by excess heat and is fitted to the power transformer. This serves as abackup to the overcurrent functions.
The SIA-C equipment comes in a metal box with galvanic isolation on all of its measurement,trip or power supply inputs and outputs (with the exception of ports for communications and thebattery power supply, as these are sporadic connections). This allows the equipment to havethe best possible level of electromagnetic compatibility, both in terms of emission of, andimmunity from, radiated and conducted interference. These levels are the same as thoseestablished for primary substations.
The equipment has an LCD with two lines and twenty columns and a membrane keyboard with
six buttons. These allow the equipment status, the current measurements in the primarywinding and the events or incidents associated with the equipment to be seen, and adjustmentsto be made to the protection criteria. Depending on the model, these events can be saved in anon-volatile memory to keep them when there is no power.
There are three bistable magnetic indicators (or only one magnetic bistable depending onmodel) on the front of the SIA-C equipment. These indicate the causes of trips, and continue togive a signal even if the relay loses power. It is also fitted with three LED indicators, which blinkto show the type of power that is being used at any time.
As regards signalling, there are four possibilities to choose from when the model is selected:
Without inputs or outputs
Signalling (2 outputs)
Trip bus (2 inputs and 2 outputs) Signalling (3 outputs: 2 outputs + 1 Watchdog output)
The equipment has storage for up to 500 events, allowing any registered incidents to beanalysed. RTC (Real Time Clock) is available for all SIA-C models.
Current measurements are performed using RMS values, with an accuracy of 2% on a band of20% over the nominal current and 4% over the rest of the range.
The equipment has two communication ports: a front port (RS232) and an optional rear port(RS485). The RS232 port allows a PC to be connected, which can be used to monitor theequipment using the SICom communications program (supplied by FANOX). A 12V battery canalso be used to power the equipment through this front port by using the adapter (KITCOM).The rear port RS485 allows the equipment to be integrated as part of a system (SCADA). The
Modbus RTU protocol is used in both ports. Setting-up a session allows four levels of access tobe set up with passwords that can be configured by the user.
The protective functions provided, easy-to-use interface, low amount of maintenance andsimple integration make the SIA-C a precise and practical solution for protecting both industrialand public electrical grids and transformation and distribution centres. It even provides theseprotective functions in situations where auxiliary power sources are not available or not reliable.The protection offered by the SIA-C against earth faults is sensitive enough to be used inelectric systems where the earth fault current is low. It can be set to 0.1 times the rated neutralcurrent and, depending on the model, the rated neutral current can go as low as 0.1 A.
Due to the installation cubicle space of SIA-C equipments, some different mechanics havebeen developed for the same equipments. Mechanics A, D,E and F were developed with cubicsize and mechanics type B and C have been currently designed. In these last mechanics the
flatness takes precedence, being the depth of the equipment from the front to the border of theterminals 101,25 mm. Mechanics type B and C are exactly the same in terms of external

4. PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
4.1. General settings
Aditionally, it is necessary to define some previous parameters that will provide the SIACrelay information about what and how it is going to protect.
Function Description Minimum Maximum Step Unit Default
General
Equipment identifier - - - -enter
your text
CT phase ratio 1 2000 1 - 1
CTneutral ratio 1 2000 1 - 1
Frequency - - 60/50 Hz 50
Language 0 3 1 - ENGLISH
4.2. 50P Function . Phase instantaneous overcurrent
This protection function can be set by using three parameters:
Function Description Minimum Maximum Step Unit Default
50P_1
(*) 50P_2
Phase instantaneous overcurrent
Permission - - Yes/No - No
Tap 0,10 30,00 0,01 I nominal 5,00
Operating time 0,02 300,0 0,01 S 0,02
The operating time is independent from the operating current flowing through the equipment, so
if the phase current exceeds its predetermined value for an equal or greater amount of timethan this preset value, the protection function activates (trips) and does not reset itself until thevalue of the phase drops below the point of current pick-up.
The function activates at 100% of the preset input, and deactivates at 95%. The reset isinstantaneous.
The accuracy of the operating time is equal to the preset time plus a maximum of 30 ms.
(*) NOTE: In SIACXXXXXXXXXXA there are two levels of 50P function (50P_1, 50P_2)

43/135
www.fanox.com 43/135
4.3. 51P Function. Phase inverse time overcurrent
This protection function can be set by using five parameters:
Function Description Minimum Maximum Step Unit Default
51P Phase inverse time overcurrent
Permission - - Yes/No - No
Curve - - (1*) - Extremely Inverse
Dial 0,05 1,25 0,01 - 1,25
Tap 0,10 7,00 0,01 I nominal 1,00
Operating time 0,02 300,0 0,01 s 0,02
(1*) Inverse, Very inverse, Extremely inverse, Defined time
If the option "Defined time" is selected for the curve setting, the unit behaves like aninstantaneous overcurrent unit. In this case, the unit operating time is set by the parameter"Operating time".
If a curve (inverse, very inverse or extremely inverse) is selected for the curve setting, theoperating time depends on the curve, dial and tap settings.
If the unit operates with defined time, the function is activated at 100% of the set tap value, andit deactivates at 95%.
If the unit operates with a curve, the function is activated at 110% of the set pick-up value, andit deactivates at 100%.
The reset is instantaneous in both cases.
The activation time is accurate to 5% or 30ms, whichever is greater, of the theoreticalactivation time.
The curves used are IEC 60255-151, which are described in the "Curves" section.
4.4. 50N/50G Function. Neutral instantaneous overcurrent.
This protection function can be set by using three parameters:
Function Description Minimum Maximum Step Unit Default
50N_1/50G_1
(*)50N_2/50G_2
Neutral instantaneous overcurrent
Permission - - Yes/No - No
Tap 0,10 30,00 0,01 Inominal 1,00
Operating time 0,02 300,0 0,01 s 0,02
The operating time is completely independent from the operating current that flows through theequipment, so if the neutral current exceeds its predetermined value for an equal or greateramount of time than this preset value, the protection function activates (trips) and does not
reset itself until the value of the neutral drops below the point of current pick-up.

44/135
www.fanox.com 44/135
The function activates at 100% of the preset input, and deactivates at 95%. The reset isinstantaneous.
The accuracy of the operation time is equal to the preset time plus a maximum of 30 ms.
(*) NOTE: In SIACXXXXXXXXXXA there are two levels of 50N/50G function (50N_1/50G_1,50N_2/50G_2)
4.5. 51N/51G Function. Neutral inverse time overcurrent.
This protection function can be set by using the following parameters:
Function Description Minimum Maximum Step Unit Default
51N/51G Neutral inverse time overcurrent
Permission - - Yes/No - No
Curve - - (1*) - Extremely Inverse
Dial 0,05 1,25 0,01 - 1,25
Tap 0,10 7,00 0,01 I nominal 0,50
Operating time 0,02 300,0 0,01 s 0,02
(1*) Inverse, Very inverse, Extremely inverse, Defined time
If the option "Defined time" is selected for the curve setting, the unit behaves like aninstantaneous overcurrent unit. In this case, the unit operating time is adjusted by using the
parameter "Operating time".If a curve (inverse, very inverse or extremely inverse) is selected for the curve setting, theoperating time depends on the curve, dial and pick-up settings.
If the unit operates as defined time, the function is activated at 100% of the set pick-up value,and it deactivates at 95%.
If the unit operates with a curve, the function is activated at 110% of the set pick-up value, andit deactivates at 100%. The reset is instantaneous in both cases.
The activation time is accurate to 5% or 30ms, whichever is higher, of the theoreticalactivation time.
The curves used are IEC60255-151, which are described in the "Curves" section.
4.6. External trip
The equipment has a direct trip input, normally connected to a bimetallic contact fitted to thepower transformer. This serves as a backup to the overcurrent functions.
The input is operative from 0,2 times the single phase secondary nominal current. It allows theconnection of a bimetallic free potential contact. When this contact closes, it activates the input.
This input is especially protected against magnetic noise.

4.7. Trip Bus
Optionally, (selectable by model), SIA-C equipment is provide with two outputs and two inputswhich can be used for implementing a trip bus.
It consists on implementing a trip bus using SIA-C relays. As you can see on the picture, thereare two relays with feeder functionality and one relay with supply functionality.
Relays with feeder functionality active the output 1 when detect the startup of function 50P or
51P and active the output 2 when detect the startup of function 50N/50G or 51N/51G.
Relays with supply functionality, block the trip of functions 50P and 51P when detect theactivation of input 1 and block the trip of functions 50N/50G and 51N/51G when detect theactivation of input 2.
The physical connection which is needed to perform is next: outputs 1 of feeder equipmentsmust be connected to the input 1 of the supply equipment and outputs 2 of feeder equipmentsmust be connected to the input 2 of the supply equipment.
Each one of the functions involved in trip bus (50P, 51P, 50N/50G and 51N/51G) has anassociated permission. If the associated permission is not enabled on feeder equipment, thestarting up of the function do not active the corresponding output. If the associated permissionis not enabled in the supply equipment, the activation of corresponding input will not block thetrip of the function.
Neutral and phase block signalling times are used for feeder application. When these times areadjusted to zero, the feeder signalling outputs activate and deactivate themselves following thestartup state of the corresponding functions.
When the phase block signalling time is adjusted to a value different from zero, once activatedthe startup of function 50P or 51P, output 1 keeps itself activated during this time. When theneutral block signalling time is adjusted to a value different from zero, once activated thestartup of function 50N/50G or 51N/51G, the output 2 keeps itself activated during this time.
The objective is not keeping blocked the supply relay indefinitely when the feeder relay fails insolving a fault. In this case, the typical setting value for this time is the trip time adjusted in thefeeder plus the opening failure time.
Phase and neutral block times are used for supply application. When these times are adjustedto zero, functions trip block and unblock are produced with the activation and deactivation of

corresponding inputs. When the phase block time is adjusted to a value different from zero,once activated the input 1, the block of functions 50P and 51P keeps itself activated during thistime. When the neutral block time is adjusted to a value different from zero, once activated theinput 2, the block of functions 50N/50G and 51N/51G keeps itself activated.
The objective is not keeping blocked the associated functions indefinitely when the input ofsupply equipment keeps itself activated. In this case, the typical setting value for these times isthe feeder trip time plus two times the opening failure time of the feeder.

4.10. Application examples
It is important to know that if both overcurrent protection functions (50 and 51), phase or neutral, areenable, definite time function (function 50) must be more restrictive. So, if overcurrent fault valuesare low, inverse time overcurrent function (function 51) must work, and if overcurrent fault reaches acertain value, definite time overcurrent function will always work. This is because, when overcurrentfault reach high values (I>>), it is necessary to be sure that trip is going to be instantaneous to getthat the element we are protecting, does not be damaged.
It is shown somo examples below:

5. MONITORING AND CONTROL
5.1. Measurements
Measurements of the three-phase currents and the neutral current are given in RMS. Asampling of 16 samples/cycle is performed.
The accuracy of the measurement is 2% on a band of 20% over the nominal current and4% over the rest of the measurement range.
Below are shown the phase and neutral ranges of the SIA-C models:
Model Phase range Neutral range I rated phase I rated neutral
SIAC5* 1-150 A * 5 A *
SIAC1* 0,2-30 A * 1 A *
SIAC*5 * 1-150 A * 5 A
SIAC*1 * 0,2-30 A * 1 A
A transformer with a suitable current must be used to ensure correct operation. It must have thefollowing electrical characteristics: 5 VA 5P10 or 5VA 10P10, 1 A or 5 A secondary.
Frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz rated. 3 Hz
Thermal resistance 3 times rated current continously.20 imes rated current for 10 s.70 times rated current for 1s.
5.2. Status and Events
The status is given by real-time information generated by the equipment. Some statuses havean event associate with them, which is a register of a change made to the status. There arestatuses that have an activation event associated with them, and other statuses have twoassociated events: activation and reset. These events are registered in a circular memory
(buffer) with a capacity for up to 500 events. The memory timestamp is accurate to 1millisecond.
On the models list can be found the following options related to events:
Without non-volatile RAM memory
With FRAM non-volatile memory
With FRAM non-volatile memory and RTC
With the option "Without Memory", the equipment has events, but these events are lost in thecase of power failure.
With the option "With non-volatile FRAM memory" and RTC (real time clock), both the eventsand the time are conserved even if the equipment is not powered.
The events can be browsed from the HMI or by using communications. Reading the eventsdoes not mean that they get deleted; they remain stored on the equipment. To delete the

events using the HMI, you have to go to the events menu and press and hold the "RESET" keyuntil the number of events reads 1, and this event is registered as "Events deleted". To deletethe events using communications, use the corresponding "delete events" command.
Events have the following structure:

A brief description of the general statuses is given below:
Trip: The equipment has tripped.
External trip: A trip has been caused by the activation of the external trip input.
Trip Circuit Error: The self-diagnosis algorithms have detected a problem with the tripoutput voltage.
Measurement error: The self-diagnosis algorithms have detected a problem in themeasurement block.
Protection error: The self-diagnosis algorithms have detected a problem in theprotection block.
Setting change: This activates when the settings are changed.
Date-time set: This activates when the date-time are synchronised.
Communication in local: this is the sum of the "MMI activity" and "Local communication"bits from the "Local communication" status group
Eeprom by default: the equipment is set to default settings and does not execute thetrip.
Eeprom Error: The self-diagnosis algorithms have detected a problem in the eeprommemory, which contains the settings.
Eeprom change: this activates when the settings or configuration (user passwords) arechanged.
Events error: Selfdiagnostic algorithms have detected an error on a stored event. Thisbit is reset by deleting the events (from the HMI or by using communications).
MMI activity: this state is active if any key has been pressed in the last 15 minutes.
Local communication: this status becomes active if communications are detected in thefront RS232 port.
5.3. Fault reports
A fault report is a record of specific events in the period of time when a fault occurs. Eventrecording can be filled with general events, which provide no information of a fault (settingschange, local pulsing, etc.) whereby it could be filled with general information, losing any faultinformation. Therefore, having a specific events record for the fault period is of significant helpto resolve an incident.
This record has a 20 fault capacity, and each fault can store 32 events. At any moment, theinformation of the twenty most recent fault reports is available. Each new fault report generatedis stored on the oldest, is lost, therefore, the information of this one. The fault report is timelimited by means of a fault start and a fault end, and these must be clearly established.
When a pick-up occurs a new fault report is generated. When all start ups disappear it isunderstood that the fault has disappeared.

65/135
www.fanox.com 65/135
Twenty fault reports are generated and they are registered in no-volatile FRAM memory. Fromthe HMI, by pressing key , you will gain access to fault reports. The information displayed isas follows:
Date-time at which the fault started.
List of all events occurred in the equipment during the fault
5.4. Self-diagnosis
Diagnostic algorithms are run while the equipment is being started up and continuously whenthe relay is operating. This diagnostic is a preventative process to guarantee that the equipmentis in good operational condition.
As general considerations we can establish:
Communications among the different processors are confirmed by corresponding
integrity checks. In case of having continued anomalies, the equipment would reset.
Information data which is considered setting parameters is confirmed by thecorresponding checks. In this way, all the setting tables are doubled and the relay isable to work with one broken table but not two.
There is a mechanism of WatchDog, among the different main CPUs. The loss ofactivity for any of them would mean the equipment reset, remaining as an event in thememory.
The following status bits are associated with this process:
Trip circuit error Problem in the trip circuit
Measurement error Problem in the measurement block
Protection error Problem in the protection block
Eeprom error Problem in the eeprom memory, default settings
Events error Problem in the events record
On the other hand, Settings by default indicates that the relay is working with the settingsprogrammed in factory, being all the protection functions disabled.
5.5. Date-time synchronisation
All models of relay SIA-C are provided with a real time clock (RTC), which can be synchronizedby HMI or by communications. RTC keeps the data updated during at least 72 hours withoutpower supply. Charge time for the capacitor is 10 minutes.
This clock can be synchronized by two ways:
By HMI: in this case, it is allowed to register the date and the time by using the keys on thefront panel. The relay will save a new event indicating the synchronization.
Protocol. The behaviour is similar to HMI, the relay synchronizes date and time and saves anew synchronization event.

5.6. Digital Outputs
Optionally (to be selected for each model), the SIA-C equipment has up to three signallingoutputs:
Phase trip output activates when a phase trip or an external trip occurs Neutral trip outputs activates when a neutral trip occurs
Watchdog output activates when the SIAC is not READY
These outputs need a minimum of 0.330xIn single-phase amperes or 0.200xIn three-phaseamperes to be activated.

5.9. Test program
The SIA-C equipment has a test menu that can be used to check the operation of the signalling
components (LEDs and magnetic indicators), along with the trip output and the signallingoutputs. This check is operative regardless of the type of power that is used. This means thatthe trip circuit and the signalling outputs can be tested with just a simple battery or a 12Vbattery in a facility without electricity supply.

5.10. Power supply
The SIA-C equipment is designed to be self-powered using the cell current. It can also bepowered by a 12V battery and, optionally (which can be selected for each model) by anauxiliary power source.
5.10.1. Self Power: CT-5A or CT-1 A, 0,2 x In rated in single phase
The SIA-C powers itself from the operating current through current transformers that areconnected to the line. Standard 5 A or 1 A secondary current transformers are used for thispurpose. Self power is achieved with very low levels of current: a minimum of 0.2 times therated single phase current, and this value is reduced to one half of the three-phase current. Inother words, the SIA-C equipment rated at 5 A current powers itself with 1 A of single phasecurrent and with 500 mA of three phase current, and the SIA-C rated at 1 A of current powersitself with 200 mA of single phase current and with 100mA of three phase current. It is importantto consider that, despite of the device starts up with those values and trip output is activated inthose values, to activate the other optional outputs (phase trip and neutral trip) it is needed aminimum of 0.330 times the secondary rated single-phase current and a minimum of 0.200times the secondary rated three-phase current. These CTs do not need a large number of VAs,because SIA-C self-regulates the charge of its self-power over the CT. Therefore, for lowcurrent levels, SIA-C is a charge which is continuously reduced when the current increases,avoiding the CT saturation.
The equipment is maintenance free when this type of power supply is used, as it does notrequire auxiliary power components (batteries). As a result, it is especially useful in any centreswhere auxiliary power is not available or cannot be guaranteed, and the facilities requireprotection with low levels of current.
There is a self-power transformer per each phase (3 self-power transformers), separatingcurrent circuits completely. As a first idea, it could be possible using only two power supply
transformers but this possibility entails a disadvantage in case of single-phase faults; becausethe transformer associated to the circuit which is not in fault at this moment, would cause a riseof the level of self-power.
5.10.2. Battery power: 12V, with a KITCOM adaptor
The external 12 V battery is connected to the equipment through an adapter that is plugged intothe front communications port (KITCOM). It is useful for cases like commissioning operations,discharges and repairs to the transformation centre, as these are situations when there is noauxiliary voltage or current in the line and they normally cause more events, grounding,forgotten tools, bad terminations, etc.
Battery power guarantees the full operation of the equipment, including the trip. The possibilityof using external battery power, together with the possibility of activating the trip contact fromthe test menu, allows the trip circuit to be tested before the transformation centre is poweredup.
Using battery power does not block the RS232 communications port, as it can be usedsimultaneously.
When the equipment is being powered from a 12 V battery, it is capable of functioning for 4hours.

5.10.3. 230 Vac or 110 Vac, 50/60 Hz auxiliary power
The 230 Vac or 110 Vac auxiliary powers are taken from the transformation centre secondary
voltage. If this option is required, this needs to be selected in the list of models.
It is normal for transformation substations to have auxiliary voltage. This voltage is notguaranteed, because a short-circuit may cause this auxiliary voltage loss. However, thecomplete auxiliary voltage loss is produced in primary faults between phases, which are veryunlikely and g
