Functions :

DIGSI 5 permits all functions to be configured and combined as required.

• Minimum tripping time: 19 ms
• 6 independent measuring loops (6-system distance protection)
• Several distance-protection functions can be selected: Classic, reactance method (RMD), impedance protection for transformers
• Directional backup protection and various additional functions
• Detection of ground faults of any type in compensated or isolated electrical power systems using the following functions: 3I0>, V0>, transient ground fault, cos φ, sin φ, dir. Detection of intermittent ground faults, harmonic detection and admittance measurement
• Ground fault detection using the pulse detection method
• Adaptive power-swing blocking
• Detection of current-transformer saturation for fast tripping with high accuracy
• Fault locator Plus for accurate fault location with inhomogenous line sections and targeted automatic overhead line section reclosing (AREC)
• Arc protection
• Automatic frequency relief for underfrequency load shedding, taking changed infeed conditions due to decentralized power generation into consideration
• Power protection, configurable as active or reactive power protection
• Directional reactive power undervoltage protection (QU protection)
• Detection of current and voltage signals up to the 50th harmonic with high accuracy for selected protection functions (such as thermal overload protection) and operational measured values
• PQ-Basic: voltage unbalance; voltage changes: overvoltage, dip, interruption; TDD, THD and Harmonics
• Ground fault detection using the pulse detection method
• Control, synchrocheck and switchgear interlocking protection
• Graphical logic editor to create powerful automation functions in the device
• Single-line representation in small or large display
• Integrated electrical Ethernet RJ45 for DIGSI 5 and IEC 61850 (reporting and GOOSE)
• 2 optional, pluggable communication modules, usable for different and redundant protocols (IEC 61850-8-1, IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus TCP, DNP3 serial and TCP, PROFINET IO)
• Serial protection data communication via optical fibers, two-wire connections and communication networks (IEEE C37.94, and others), including automatic switchover between ring and chain topology
• Reliable data transmission via PRP and HSR redundancy protocols
• Extensive cybersecurity functionality, such as role-based access control (RBAC), protocolling security-related events, signed firmware or authenticated network access IEEE 802.1X
• Simple, quick and secure access to device data via a standard Web browser to display all information and diagnostic data, as well as vector diagrams, single-line and device display pages
• Phasor measurement unit (PMU) for synchrophasor measured values and IEEE C37.118 protocol
• Time synchronization using IEEE 1588
• Powerful fault recording (buffer for a max. record time of 80 sec. at 8 kHz or 320 sec. at 2 kHz)
• Auxiliary functions for simple tests and commissioning
