The EnerVista™ suite provides all the tools to monitor the status of your protected asset, maintain the relay, and integrate information measured by the 750 into DCS or SCADA monitoring systems. Convenient COMTRADE and Sequence of Events viewers are an integral part of the 750 Setup software included with every 750 relay, to carry out postmortem event analysis to ensure proper protection system operation. Learn More

Instantly created overview screns will show the operating condition of your feeder and the status of your 750/760. Additional monitoring screens are available for analyzing all metering quantities, along with the power, demand and energy values that may be measured by the relay.

Key Features

  • Metering - current,voltage, sequence components, power, energy, voltage
  • Breaker operation & trip failure
  • Event recording - 128 time tagged events
  • Total breaker arcing current
  • Ambient temperature /analog transducer input
  • Analog transducer input
  • Oscillography & Data Logger - 10 records up to 32 power cycles
  • Simulation mode and playback capability.

Monitoring and Metering

The 750/760 features advanced monitoring and metering functions which include:

Fault Locator

The relay uses captured data to calculate the type, distance to and the impedance of the fault. Records of the last 10 faults are stored.

Breaker Conditions

The relay calculates the per-phase wear on the breaker contacts to establish a threshold. When the breaker maintenance threshold is exceeded the relay can trigger an alarm. An alarm is also generated if the relay detects that the supervisory trickle current is not present. A failure to respond to an open or close signal in a programmed time can be used to generate an alarm.


VT Failure

The VT failure feature monitors each phase of input voltage, generating an alarm and sending the programmed output signals when a failure is detected.


Analog Inputs

Any external quantity may be monitored via an auxiliary current input. Two analog input level monitoring elements and two rate-of-change elements are available. When the measured quantity exceeds the pickup level, the relay can trigger an alarm or signal an output.


Event Recording

The relay captures and stores the last 512 events, recording the time, date, cause, and system parameters. Events may be recorded selectively by category, so that only events of interest are recorded.


Oscillography

A block of configurable volatile memory can be used for recording samples of the AC input voltages and current, and the status of logic inputs and output relays. This memory can be configured between the ranges of two to 16 blocks with 16 to 256 power frequency cycles of data respectively. The amount of pre-event data recorded is set by the user. Trace memory recording can be triggered by operation of selected features or logic inputs.


Trip Counter

The number of breaker trip operations is recorded, and can be displayed for statistical purposes (useful for units without operation counters).

The 750/760 saves up to 256 power frequency cycles of waveform data

Key Features

Advanced Communications

The 750/760 is equipped with three standard serial communications ports, one RS232 located in the front panel, and two RS485/RS422 in the rear of the relay. A rear Ethernet port is also available as an optional feature. The front panel port allows easy local computer access. The rear ports provide remote communications or connection to a DCS, SCADA, or PLC. The baud rate of all the serial ports is variable from 300 to 19,200 bps. The optional Ethernet port can be used to connect the 750/760 to 10 Mbps Ethernet networks. The 750/760 supports ModBus® RTU, DNP3.0 Level 2, and ModBus® RTU TCP/IP protocols.

The three serial ports support ModBus® RTU protocol, while any one of the two rear ports but not both can be configured to support DNP 3.0 Level 2. The optional Ethernet port supports ModBus® RTU via TCP/IP protocol. The communication system of the 750/760 is designed to allow simultaneous communication via all ports.

Using Ethernet as the physical media to integrate the 750/760 to Local or Wide Area Networks, replaces a multipoint wired network (e.g., serial Modbus®), and eliminates expensive leased or dial-up connections, reducing monthly operating costs.

User Interface

Various user interfaces facilitate operation of the 750.

Display

A 40 character display allows access to setpoints, actual values, and diagnostic messages generated by a trip or alarm condition. The 750 can display 30 user-selected messages during keypad inactivity.

Indicators

Twenty LEDs indicate relay status, system status, and trip and alarm conditions.

IRIG-B Input

This feature provides time synchronization via standard GPS clock inputs.
