operationFault Indication LEDs
VIP relays have fault indicationLEDs. They flash to indicate a fault,as shown in the table below :
Pictogram Fault VIP400 VIP410
Detection of a fault by the phase overcurrent protection or in the event oftripping by the temporary test mode
H H
Detection of a fault by the earth fault protection H H
Detection of a fault by the thermal overload protection H H
Ext. Tripping by a volt- free contact connected to the external trip input - H
After a trip, the fault indicationLEDs are powered by the batteryembedded in the VIP or by theVIP410 auxiliary power supply.
Fault indication by the LEDs canbe stopped:H by pressing the Reset keyH automatically by the reappea-rance of a current in the networkhigher than the pick- up currentH automatically after 24 hoursH by remote control order via thecommunication (VIP410)
For the first 3 LEDs, faster flashingmay occur before the protectiontrips, to indicate the followinginformation :
note In custom mode, the protection setpoints may not be assigned to theMitop trip unit output.In this case, the fault indicationLED may be active, without beingassociated with the circuit breakertrip.
Depending on the application, thiscan indicate the presence of a faultwithout tripping the circuit breakerThe fault indication LED picto-grams can be customized by sti-cking a label to the right of theLEDs.

operation according to thepower supply mode(VIP400)
The VIP400 is a stand- alone pro-tection relay powered by its cur-rent sensors.When current is present in themedium- voltage (MV) network,the protections and the displaywork and it is possible to enter set-tings and view measurements.The current in the MV network onwhich the VIP operates is calledthe ’pick- up current’.When no current is flowing throughthe circuit breaker (for example cir-cuit breaker open), or when thecurrent in the MV network is toolow, the VIP is off and nothingappears on its display.If current appears, the protectionfunctions are activated and trip thecircuit breaker - or not - accor-ding to their settings.
The additional time taken by theVIP to start when current appearsis called the ’pick- up time’.More information on the value ofthe pick- up current and the pick-up time are available in the VIPFunction CharacteristicsPlease consult the referenceNRJED311207EN.

operation according to thepower supply mode(VIP410)
The VIP410 is a relay with a dualpower supply. It is powered bothautonomously by its sensors andby the auxiliary power supply.Like for the VIP400, theself- powered supply allow theprotection functions to work even ifthe auxiliary power supply fails.
The auxiliary power supply is usedto power functions that do notdepend on the current beingpresent in the MV network. Thesefunctions are marked in thefunction table (Please consult thereference NRJED311207EN). Theauxiliary power supply must bepresent in order them to work.
integral battery The VIP has an integral battery. Itis used to:H activate the user- machineinterface in order to enter settingswhen the VIP is not supplied withpowerH illuminate the fault indicationLEDs when the VIP is no longersupplied with power after givingtheopening order to the circuitbreakerH power the internal calendarWhen the VIP is not supplied withpower:Pressing and holding down thekey will activate battery- poweredoperation of the user- machineinterface. It is then possible toaccess the menus in order to entersettings.In this case, the displayturns off automatically after 3minutes of inactivity on the key-pad.
H The protection functions areactivated automatically if the cur-rent reappears.The integral battery plays no partin operating the protection func-tions. The protection functionswork even when there is no bat-tery.
NOTE :H in battery operation mode, theVIP processor runs with a reducedclock frequency to ensure the bat-tery life is maintained. As a result,the user- machine interface maybe slower to react.
H during a setting operation withthe VIP powered by its internalbattery alone, the clock display isnot refreshed on screen. Howeverthe internal clock increments nor-mally.
pocket battery module The pocket battery module is anaccessory that can be connectedto the front panel of VIP relays. Itcontains a battery that can beused to power the VIP in order to:H enter settings if the integral bat-tery is missing and if the VIP is notpowered by the current sensorsH test the VIP, please consult thereference NRJED311207EN.
H display the cause of the last tripby the VIP’ please consult the refe-rence NRJED311207EN.H more information on connectingthe pocket battery module to theVIP is available in the Connectionto the VIP ’ please consult the refe-rence NRJED311207EN.

frequency The network frequency (50 Hz or60 Hz) is a parameter that must beknown for operation of the VIP40and VIP45 signal processing algo-rithms.They therefore have an automaticfrequency recognition system.The recognized value(50 Hz or 60 Hz) is stored and theVIP works permanently with thisvalue.This stored value will be used eachtime the VIP startsFor the VIP to recognize the net-work frequency and store it, it hasto detect a current on phase 1 fora minimum period of 5 seconds inthe range 50 Hz +/- 2 Hz or 60Hz +/- 2 Hz.This detection happens whenthe VIP starts.

earth current (ANSI50N- 51N)
Earth current maximum protectionenables overcurrents due tophase- to- earth faults to bedetected. It makes use of the mea-surement of the earth current’sfundamental component.
2 independent thresholds (Io>and Io>>)H the lower threshold (Io>) canbe set to either a definite time (DT)or an inverse time (IDMT) curve,with the choice of standardisedcurve (IEC, IEEE, RI) and the pos-sibility of activating an inverse timeduration.H the upper threshold (Io>>) hasonly a definite time (DT) setting.The minimum setting gives instan-taneous operation (ANSI 50 func-tion).
Depending on the level of sensiti-vity required, there are 2 types ofSepam:
Sensitivity Sensor
Standard 3 CT CRa 200/1 or CRb 1250/1
Very sensitive CSH200 core balance CT
phase current maximumprotection (ANSI 50- 51)
Phase current maximum protectionenables overcurrents due tophase- to- phase faults to bedetected. It makes use of the mea-surement of the fundamental com-ponent of the currents from the 3phase CTs.
2 independent thresholds (I>and I>>)H the lower threshold (I>) can beset to either a definite time (DT) oran inverse time (IDMT) curve, withthe choice of standardised curve(IEC, IEEE, RI) and the possibilityof activating an inverse time dura-tion.H the upper threshold (I>>) hasonly a definite time (DT) setting.The minimum setting gives instan-taneous operation (ANSI 50 func-tion).
thermal overload protection(ANSI 49RMS)
This protection enables cables andHV/LV transformers to be protec-ted against overloads based onthe measurement of absorbed cur-rent.This protection uses a thermalmodel based on current measure-ments to evaluate temperaturerise. The current used for this pro-tection is a 3- phase RMS currentthat takes into account up to 13thorder harmonics.
This protection has 2 settings:H maximum allowable continuouscurrent, which corresponds to themaximum thermal withstand of theequipment to be protected (thisallowable continuous current cor-responds to a temperature rise of100%)H heating/cooling time constant ofthe equipment.
07897073EN01 revision : 11 33
low sensitivity of phase andearth current maximumprotection settings (ColdLoad Pick- Up)
The cold load pickup functionavoids nuisance tripping when theequipment is powered- up, espe-cially after a long break in opera-tion. It allows the protection thres-holds to be temporarily increased.
High currents at cold load pic-kup may be due to:H simultaneous powering- up ofall the loads in an installation.H power transformer magnetisingcurrents.H motor starting currents.
Protection concerned Operating means
Phase current maximum protection After circuit breaker closing, the tripping thresholds (I> or I>>) areincreased or blocked for the set duration.
Earth current maximum protection After circuit breaker closing, the tripping thresholds (Io> or Io>>) areincreased or blocked for the set duration.OrThe protection is restrained by the detection of sensor saturation (measu-rement of 2nd order harmonic level).
logic discrimination(ANSI 68)
This function achieves:H tripping discrimination in theevent of a short- circuit betweenphases, or from phase to earth, forall network typesH reduced tripping time of the cir-cuit breaker that is closest to thesource.
All Sepam series 10B and 10Aare able to emit an await logicorder should a fault be detectedby the phase and earth currentmaximum protection functions.Only the Sepam series 10A isable to receive an await logicorder that blocks its trippingsignal. A safety mechanism ensu-res the protection operates in theevent of a fault with the blockingsignal wiring.
external tripping The Sepam series 10A enables,via a logic input, a tripping orderfrom an external protection meansto be taken into account.
earth current measurement This measurement enables thevalue of the fundamental compo-nent of the earth current to be dis-played.
phase current measure-ments
These measurements enable theRMS value of the phase currents tobe displayed; it takes into accountup to 13th order harmonics.
This function displays the 3 phasecurrents.
