Description

The ABB SPAJ140C is a combined overcurrent and earth-fault protection relay engineered for selective short-circuit and earth-fault protection of radial feeders in solidly earthed, resistance earthed, or impedance earthed medium-voltage power systems. It integrates both phase overcurrent and earth-fault protection functions into a single unit, providing a comprehensive protection solution for distribution networks, transformers, capacitors, and motor feeders.

The relay incorporates two independent protection units: a three-phase overcurrent unit and an earth-fault unit. Each unit features a low-set stage and a high-set stage, allowing flexible coordination with upstream and downstream protection devices. The low-set stages offer both definite time and inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) characteristics, with six selectable curve sets including extremely inverse, very inverse, normal inverse, long-time inverse, RI-type inverse, and RXIDG-type inverse. The high-set stages provide instantaneous or definite time operation for rapid clearing of severe faults.

Features:

  • Combined overcurrent and earth-fault protection
  • Definite time or inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) characteristics
  • Built-in circuit breaker failure protection (CBFP)
  • Two heavy-duty and four light-duty output relays with field-selectable configuration
ABB SPAJ 140 C incorporates a three-phase low-set phase overcurrent unit with definite time or inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) characteristic, a three-phase high-set phase overcurrent unit with instantaneous or definite time function, a low-set non-directional earth-fault unit with definite time or IDMT characteristic, and a high-set non-directional earth-fault unit with instantaneous or definite time function for comprehensive protection coverage.

ABB SPAJ 140 C features six available time/current curves when IDMT characteristic is selected, including four curves complying with BS 142 and IEC 60255 (Normal inverse, Very inverse, Extremely inverse, Long-time inverse) plus two additional curves (RI-curve and RXIDG-curve), with start times of approximately 60 ms for low-set stages and 40 ms for high-set stages.

The SPAJ 140 C ABB Overcurrent and earth-fault relay may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The overcurrent unit's low-set stage operates with start currents from 0.5 to 5.0 times rated current for definite time mode, and 0.5 to 2.5 times rated current for inverse time mode. The high-set stage covers 0.5 to 40.0 times rated current or can be set to infinite (disabled). The earth-fault unit's low-set stage operates from 0.1 to 0.8 times rated current, while the high-set stage covers 0.1 to 10.0 times rated current. All stages feature adjustable operate times from 0.05 to 300 seconds.
A built-in circuit-breaker failure protection (51BF) function monitors the circuit breaker status after a trip command is issued. If the breaker fails to open within the set time, the relay initiates backup tripping to prevent system damage from prolonged fault conditions. This function is critical for maintaining system stability in medium-voltage networks where breaker failure could cascade into widespread outages.
  • Radial Feeder Protection:Single-direction source-to-load distribution feeders
  • Varying Grounding Systems:Solid, resistance or impedance earthed networks
  • Power Transformer Protection:Primary/secondary: phase-phase & phase-earth faults
  • Motor & Generator Protection:Back-up thermal overcurrent & earth-fault
  • System Back-up Protection:Time-delayed clearing for substation primary lines.

Flush Mounting Panel Cutout: The sub-case is designed for flush panel assembly. Ensure the cutout matches standard SPACOM dimensions (typically 138 mm x 138 mm).
Fixing Clamps: Mount the sub-case secure to the panel using the side-mounted screw-clamps provided, ensuring a dust-proof seal.IP Rating: Ensure the front frame maintains its IP54 weatherproofing by tightly seating the transparent protective cover gasket.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Touch an earthed point before pulling out the internal module plug-in unit. Avoid handling the sensitive internal electronics directly.  

Technical notes

The overcurrent unit's low-set stage operates with start currents from 0.5 to 5.0 times rated current for definite time mode, and 0.5 to 2.5 times rated current for inverse time mode. The high-set stage covers 0.5 to 40.0 times rated current or can be set to infinite (disabled). The earth-fault unit's low-set stage operates from 0.1 to 0.8 times rated current, while the high-set stage covers 0.1 to 10.0 times rated current. All stages feature adjustable operate times from 0.05 to 300 seconds.
