GE SR750/760 Relay Tutorials - Part 7: Linking Phase Overcurrent Protection Element Parameters To Overcurrent RIO Function

In this tutorial, shown linking of the Phase Overcurrent Protection Element parameters created in the previous tutorial into Overcurrent RIO function, defining overcurrent element characteristic, writing formula to use in the overcurrent element characteristic and using this template during the testing of the GE SR750/760 relay.


Welcome to the seventh part of GE SR750/760 Relay Tutorial series. If you haven't seen the previous tutorials, click the link below:

Part 6: Creating Phase Overcurrent Protection Element Blocks and Parameters
GE SR750/760 Relay Tutorials

Open the test document that we used in the previous tutorial (Part 6).

Once the test document is loaded, open the  test object. Make sure that the advanced view mode is selected to enable to link the parameters.

In the RIO block, open the Overcurrent block by double clicking on it then go to Elements tab. By default, there is one active element in the list. Click the button at the characteristic group to change the curve type. If there are multiple element in the list, select the element before clicking the button to change the selected curve.


There are predefined curve characteristics on the left side, select the IEC / BS142 NI curve under Predefined » Inverse folder then click select button below. Click OK button to apply and close the changes.


Now, the curve has changed and automatically added its parameters, the phase time overcurrent parameters created in the previous tutorial will be linked here. Before that, there couples of changes has to be made before linking those parameters.


Change the Time Overcurrent Element2 block. Maybe its different in your computer, it might be Time Overcurrent Element or Time Overcurrent Element3. Right click on it then select Details and set the following details

RIO » Overcurrent » Overcurrent Elements
Time Overcurrent Element2
ID PTOC
Name PTOC

Then enter and link the following formulas
