SYMAP® is a flexible microprocessor-based
digital protection device for use in low, medium, and high-voltage
power systems. Because of its integrated protection functions and
human-machine interface capabilities, it is an efficient and cost-effective
solution for all types of switchbays.With three powerful microprocessors,
SYMAP® offers complete protection functions for generators, motors
(synchronous and asynchronous), transformers, power lines, and distributions.
All protection functions can be activated simultaneously, and there
are no limits to using all of them at the same time.
With
SYMAP®, five main breaker controls can be activated with all the
necessary functions, such as display, control, and blocking, for optimal
breaker management. A small integrated PLC allows individual interlocks
from controlling functions. For flexibility in commissioning and during
use, both digital and analog outputs can be used to connect the SYMAP®
control unit to main switchboard controls. Additionally, a variety
of serial interfaces with different kinds of protocols can be used
for communication between SYMAP® units and the central control
system.

For diagnostics and monitoring, SYMAP® has
three microprocessors that supervise each other, providing a watchdog
system. Important functions are laid out in a double redundancy combination,
operating independently with the second processor. Connected separately,
an optional unit for short circuit protection operates parallel to
the SYMAP® device and will do so even if the entire voltage fails.
SYMAP® is easy to
program and operate. A large graphic LCD with optional LED indicators
conveys important data, such as position of all connected breakers,
parameter settings, and event histories, at a glance. Graphics and
measurements are displayed side-by-side on the LCD, so that the user
does not have to switch between pages.
The entire programming of SYMAP® can be done with the keys on
its front panel, eliminating the use of external programming devices.
The programming is built in and is menu-tree driven, making setting
parameters an intuitive process - similar to inputting data in a modern
handheld telephone. Optionally, parameters can also be programmed
using a laptop computer. Using a laptop offers certain advantages,
such as parameter data stored in the laptop can be easily input into
other SYMAP® units. Either way, ease of programming is guaranteed
and on-site visits by the manufacturer's engineers during commissioning
are not required.
SYMAP® provides four hotkeys under the LCD offering access to
four groups of values:
|
 |
 |
"Meters"
|
|
|
 |
"Alarm" |
|
|
 |
"Process" |
|
|
 |
"Breaker Control."
|
|
|
The user can press the hotkeys to scroll through
pages of information pertaining to these values.
Under the hotkey "Meters," detailed information of electric
measurement values, counters for active and reactive power, and of
working hours is provided. Under the hotkey "Alarms," all
active alarms, event stores, and blockings are displayed. Under "Process,"
all process data, such as synchronization display, motor thermal indication,
and breaker counters, are shown. Under "Breaker Control,"
up to five breakers can be accessed and controlled. When programming
breaker controls, the user has access to various layout configurations
available through a library of graphics maintained within SYMAP®.
Programmed blockings remain active when manual control of the breaker
is used. Each of the highlighted breakers in the LCD can be further
controlled by the keys "O" and "I."
For security, access to SYMAP®'s parameter and breaker control
data is protected by a code system. The code system offers dual access:
by a transponder card or by password input.

All connections to SYMAP® are made
with terminal plugs on the back of the device, allowing the device
to be exchanged easily. The terminal blocks are divided into four
groups.

SYMAP® provides inputs for analog sensors
at the rear of the device. If terminal plugs for the CTs are disconnected,
the circuits will be linked automatically so there is no disconnection
in the CT circuit loops. A total of 17 analog inputs for current and
voltage transformers are used for protection functions. The following
list shows possible connections for current transformers (CT) and
potential transformers (PT):
|
 |
 |
3 x CT for feeder current
|
|
|
 |
3 x CT for differential current
|
|
|
 |
2 x CT for ground current |
|
|
 |
3 x PT for feeder voltage |
|
|
 |
3 x PT for bus bar 1 voltage
|
|
|
 |
3 x PT for bus bar 2 voltage
|
|
|
 |
2 x PT for ground voltage |
By use of combined sensors, SYMAP® can provide:
|
 |
 |
3 x for feeder current
|
|
|
 |
3 x for feeder voltage |

A maximum of 1,000 protection function events can be stored. In case
of overflow, the oldest data will be recorded over.
The data recorder can log 16 analog inputs,
14 digital inputs, and 12 digital outputs. The recorder has the following
settings:
|
 |
 |
Number
of samples (6 - 72)
|
|
|
 |
Recording period
(5 - 60 sec)
|
|
|
 |
Pre-trigger (0
- 100%)
|
|
|
 |
Trigger event
(stop for recorder)
|
The
recording period depends on the number of samples. The recorder can
be set with the pre-trigger in such a way as record event data even
before the event happens. Stopping the recorder can be triggered either
by an event or by a preset time. For easier management and trouble-shooting,
event data can be transferred and analyzed via a laptop computer.
The transfer of data is made by a link through a plug on the front
panel of the SYMAP® device.

a watchdog system. Important functions are laid out in a double redundancy
combination, operating independently with the second processor. Connected
