Functional block diagram of the DTIVA/Fr relay
General presentation
The DTIVA/Fr relay is an intelligent electronic device (IED) for protection and control dedicated to distribution lines and generating sets; it belongs to the DTIVA product family within the PROTECTA product range.
DTIVA products are configured to protect, control and supervise the components of public and industrial electrical distribution networks, including radial, ring and meshed distribution networks. Thanks to their modular architecture, the modules are assembled and configured according to the user’s needs; the software then determines the functions (SFB).
The main fields of application are impedance-earthed or isolated radial networks. In these cases, the use of Petersen coils or earthing resistors results in relatively low currents in the event of single-phase earth faults. Most protection functions rely on current measurement alone, but the integration of distributed generation or the presence of loops in the network topology calls for additional voltage measurements as well as directional protection functions. Distance and line differential protection functions are also available to protect compensated or isolated networks.
The EuroCAP configuration tool, available free of charge, provides a user-friendly and flexible application for protection, control and measurement functions, ensuring that the devices are fully customisable.

Applications
The DTIVA/Fr relay is designed to meet the requirements of a complex bay unit for overhead lines and cables on compensated networks or networks earthed through a resistor or an impedance.
Its range of functions covers all current- and voltage-based applications: directional overcurrent and earth fault protection, power calculation, as well as overvoltage and undervoltage protection. Frequency protection functions are also included.
All the functions required to control and monitor switchgear are integrated in the DTIVA/Fr relay. The auto-reclosing function is supported by a synchrocheck.
The relay can also be used for circuit breaker failure protection.
Field of application
- Overhead lines and underground cables (back-up protection on HV networks): overcurrent protection
- Directional earth fault detection in isolated, resistance-earthed or Petersen coil-earthed networks, based on directional residual overcurrent protection
- Directional overpower and underpower protection with user-defined power values and tripping angles (combined solution for active or reactive power)
- Switchgear automation and control with optional synchrocheck
- User-defined interlocking schemes
- Current transformer supervision through unbalance protection
- Back-up protection unit for transformers, lines, generators, motors and busbars at all voltage levels
- Optional application of a decentralised busbar protection subsystem
- Sensitive directional detection of permanent earth faults
- Sensitive directional detection of transient earth faults (self-extinguishing or restriking)
- Inrush current detection and blocking
- Reverse power protection
- Distribution load-shedding schemes
- Protection against islanded operation of wind farms and photovoltaic applications
Protection and control functions
The DTIVA/Fr relay measures the three phase currents, the residual current as well as the three phase voltages and the busbar voltage. In addition to current- and voltage-based functions, these measurements allow the directional extension of the configured phase and residual overcurrent functions, but also the directional overpower and underpower functions. It is intended for the protection of overhead line or cable networks. The range of functions is completed by the auto-reclosing function and the synchrocheck. Frequency is evaluated from the voltage measurement in order to implement frequency-based protection functions.
