contact Siemens via this Internet page: https://www.siemens.com/cert → Report a Security Issue • The Siemens policy on coordinated vulnerability disclosure is available at this page: https://www.siemens.com/cert → Security Vulnerability Handling and Disclosure Process • Information on validated security vulnerabilities that directly involve Siemens products are published in the Siemens Security Advisories: https://www.siemens.com/cert → Siemens Security Advisories Information on software and firmware updates including third-party components are part of the respective release notes. For more information, contact your local Siemens sales or project partner. Security Update Management For software and firmware updates, Siemens offers a systematic patch management service. For more infor- mation, refer to https://www.siemens.com/global/en/products/energy/energy-automation-and-smart-grid/grid- security/operational-security.html. ii NOTE The Travelling Wave Explorer tool uses .NET Framework version 4.7.2. The framework is part of the Microsoft Windows 10 and 11 operating systems. Siemens recommends activating and installing automatic updates for the operating system. This will ensure that any potential vulnerabilities in the .NET Framework are closed promptly. Network Security The device and the Travelling Wave Explorer program do not guarantee secure communication. No user authentication takes place. This means there is a risk that unauthorized users in the network will be able to read data or make unauthorized changes to settings on the devices. Therefore, Siemens recommends setting up a secure communication channel for data transmission. To avoid vulnerabilities, set up a virtual private network (VPN) and use a securely configured firewall. Siemens recom- mends using industrial VPN devices, such as SCALANCE S615. Install the Travelling Wave Explorer program on the computer in the control center and ensure that only authorized users have access to this computer. Note the instructions in the Secure Substation Manual. 1 8 SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 https://www.siemens.com/cert https://www.siemens.com/cert https://www.siemens.com/cert https://www.siemens.com/global/en/products/energy/energy-automation-and-smart-grid/grid-security/operational-security.html https://www.siemens.com/global/en/products/energy/energy-automation-and-smart-grid/grid-security/operational-security.html https://cache.industry.siemens.com/dl/files/171/109759171/att_1128108/v1/SecureSubStation_SecurityManual_enUS.pdf [dw_TWR-network-security, 1, en_US] Figure 1-1 Example of a secure communication channel (1) Computer with installed Travelling Wave Explorer program (2) SCALANCE S615 (3) Device 7SE20 Safety Notes SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual 9 E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 Device Structure 2.1 Scope and Key Features of the Device 11 2.2 Traveling Waves 11 2.3 Recording Traveling Waves 12 2.4 Positioning of the Antenna 14 2.5 LED Assignment and Device Status 16 2.6 Application and Setting Notes 17 2.7 Evaluating a Traveling Wave Record with SIGRA 29 2.8 Monitoring Functions 34 2.9 Dimensions 34 2.10 Device Connections 35 2 10 SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 Scope and Key Features of the Device The device is used to record traveling waves in power systems. The device has the following key features: • 8 channels for recording signals, split into 4 current channels and 4 voltage channels The channels have a fixed assignment to the analog inputs. The signals are recorded with a sampling rate of 10 MHz. The assignment of the channels to the input terminals of the device can be found in the connection diagrams in the Annex A.4 Connection Diagrams. • An SD card for storing the records The device stores the fault records in COMTRADE format in accordance with IEC 60255-24:2013 and IEEE C 37.111:2013. All records are saved on the SD card. The records remain available after an auxiliary- voltage failure. • The integrated GNSS module sets an absolute time stamp at the start of recording. The GNSS module receives signals from GPS and GLONASS satellites. • Parameterization, evaluation of traveling wave records, and fault location are only possible with the help of external tools. – With the Travelling Wave Explorer tool, you can set the parameters of the device, download records, and determine the fault location. – Alternatively, you can use the SIGRA tool to evaluate records and determine the fault location. • Via an Ethernet interface, you can operate the device with the Travelling Wave Explorer tool and download the records. Traveling Waves Traveling waves occur due to abrupt changes in current and voltage in electrical systems. The following causes are possible: • Switching operations • Short circuits • Ground faults • Lightning strikes • Flashovers in live components A traveling wave propagates evenly towards the line ends at very high speed, starting from the point of origin. On overhead lines, the propagation velocity is approximately 293 000 km/s. This corresponds to approximately 98 % of the speed of light. In cables, the propagation velocity reaches approximately 67 % of the speed of light. The following figure shows the propagation of a traveling wave caused by a short circuit: 2.1 2.2 Device Structure 2.1 Scope and Key Features of the Device SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual 11 E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 [dw_principle_propagation_traveling-waves, 2, en_US] Figure 2-1 Propagation of traveling waves on a line Traveling waves are measured in the current signals and voltage signals at both ends of the line. In each case, the arrival of the traveling waves is marked with a precise time stamp. Based on the time stamps at both ends of the line, the following formula can be used to calculate the origin of the traveling wave: [fo_TW_FaultLocation_2side_formula, 1, en_US] where: x Distance from station A to the fault location l Line length Δt Difference tA - tB between the time stamps of both ends of the line v Propagation velocity of the wave With the Travelling Wave Explorer tool, you can evaluate the recorded data and determine the fault location. The Travelling Wave Explorer tool shows the associated traveling wave records for the line. To do this, it compares the time stamps of the records. 2 Records belong together if the time difference Δt meets the following condition: [fo_TW_max_delta_t, 1, --_--] Recording Traveling Waves The device creates traveling wave records. The records can be used for fault location using traveling waves. Traces in a Traveling Wave Record 8 analog channels and 9 binary traces are recorded in a traveling wave record.

TW-Manual Binary Manual triggering via the Travelling Wave Explorer program Recorded Frequency Range The device records the current signals and voltage signals in the frequency range from 10 kHz to 2 MHz. The sampling rate is 10 MHz. A band-pass filter suppresses the fundamental component. The fundamental component is therefore not included in the traveling wave record. Triggering a Traveling Wave Record The following events trigger the recording of a record: • Manual start via the Travelling Wave Explorer program • Trigger event in a current channel If the Trigger level current trigger threshold is exceeded in one of the channels TW-IL1, TW-IL2, or TW-IL3, a traveling wave record is triggered. The Trig. TW-IL1, Trig. TW-IL2, and Trig. TW-IL3 traces show the channels in which the trigger threshold was reached. • Trigger event in a voltage channel If the Trigger level voltage trigger threshold is exceeded in one of the channels TW-UL1E, TW-UL2E, or TW-UL3E, a traveling wave record is triggered. The Trig. TW-UL1E, Trig. TW-UL2E, and Trig. TW-UL3E traces show the channels in which the trigger threshold was reached. Trigger Thresholds Trigger thresholds specify the voltage or current value from which a traveling wave record is triggered. The trigger thresholds can be adjusted separately for the current channels and the voltage channels. Follow the setting notes in 2.6.5 Resolution and Trigger Thresholds. Record Duration The maximum length of a traveling wave record is 50 ms. The length is defined by parameters Pre trigger length and Post trigger length. These parameters define the length of the fault record before and after the trigger event. Follow the setting notes in 2.6.6 Recording Events. Time stamp When the trigger threshold is exceeded for the first time, the time is saved. The time determined in this way is entered in the traveling wave record as a time stamp. If there are records from both ends of the line, the time stamp can be used for fault location. ii NOTE The time stamp is always specified as a UTC time. Device Structure 2.3 Recording Traveling Waves SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual 13 E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 Example: The following figure shows a section of a traveling wave record for a 1-phase short circuit B-G. The trigger threshold was exceeded for all 3 phase currents and phase-ground voltages. The time stamp 21.11.2022, 05:42:10.550 specifies the time when a trigger threshold was exceeded for the first time. This time specifies the start of the edge of the 1st wave. [sc_faultrecording_trigger, 1, --_--] Figure 2-2 Section of a Traveling Wave Record Including Time Stamp The exact time stamp can be seen in the CFG file of the record: 21/11/2022,05:42:10.548366 ← 1st time stamp: Start of the record 21/11/2022,05:42:10.550366 ← 2nd time stamp: Trigger threshold exceeded for the 1st time, start of the edge of the 1st wave The 2nd time stamp is used for double-end fault location. Positioning of the Antenna For the 2-ended fault location, the time on both devices must be synchronized. Since the devices do not communicate directly with each other, time synchronization is only possible via GPS or GLONASS. To ensure precise time synchronization, the position of the devices is determined. To do this, the position and time signals from the GPS and GLONASS satellite systems are received via an integrated GNSS receiver. The device calculates its own position by measuring the runtime of the signal from each satellite. Before using the device, determine the position of the antenna. The determined position is saved in the device for later monitoring of time synchronization. The following conditions must be met for positioning: 2.4 Device Structure 2.4 Positioning of the Antenna 14 SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 • Device 7SE20 is installed. • The antenna for receiving the GNSS signal is installed and connected to the device. To do this, follow the instructions in 4.3 Antenna Assembly. • In the Travelling Wave Explorer, a system with one or more stations and at least one device is created. • The parameters for the connection between the device and the antenna are saved in the device (see 2.6.7 Setting the GNSS Module). For how to set the parameters, see 3.7.3.3 Editing Setting Values. Always start positioning after the following events: • After initial installation of the device and the antenna • When there are structural changes in the vicinity of the antenna For how to start positioning in the Travelling Wave Explorer program, see 3.7.4.1 Initiating Positioning. Application and Setting Notes If you are starting positioning with the Travelling Wave Explorer program, set the following parameters: Parameter: Required GNSS antenna position accuracy Use parameter Required GNSS antenna position accuracy to set the maximum permissible devia- tion of the determined position from the actual antenna position. Set a value from 1 m to 100 m. Siemens recommends that you do not change the accuracy of the time synchronization from the default value of 5 m. Only increase the value if the receiving conditions are poor and the set precision value cannot be achieved. Parameter: Minimum synchronization time for GNSS locking For exact positioning, the GNSS receiver requires many satellite signals. Throughout the runtime, the number of satellite signals received and the positioning accuracy increase. Use parameter Minimum synchroniza- tion time for GNSS locking to set the minimum period for positioning. Set a value from 5 min to 1440 min. Siemens recommends that you do not change the default value of 1440 min (24 h). Reading the Position Accuracy During positioning, the position of the device is determined continuously. In the Travelling Wave Explorer program, read the current accuracy in the Device tab of the Device Settings window. To speed up positioning via the satellite signals received, increase the possible position radius with parameter Required GNSS antenna position accuracy. Completing Positioning If the threshold value of parameter Required GNSS antenna position accuracy has been reached or exceeded and the minimum observation time for parameter Minimum synchronization time for GNSS locking is reached, the process is complete. Ongoing positioning can be interrupted by restarting it with changed threshold vaues. To end the process prematurely, set the following: • Minimum observation time Minimum synchronization time for GNSS locking = 5 minutes • Increased position radius Required GNSS antenna position accuracy Restarting Positioning Positioning can be restarted. For this, the threshold values for parameter Required GNSS antenna position accuracy and parameter Minimum synchronization time for GNSS locking can be changed and set again. The information from the canceled positioning run is saved in the device so that the new positioning can be completed more quickly. Device Structure 2.4 Positioning of the Antenna SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual 15 E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 LED Assignment and Device Status Device 7SE20 has 8 light-emitting diodes on the front, which provide information about the current state of the device. These 8 LEDs are arranged on the left-hand side of the front of the device, as shown in figureFront View, Page 73. LED 1 – Run LED 1 Run lights up as soon as the device is connected to a supply voltage. LED 2 – Error LED 2 Error indicates that the device is in a fault condition. This LED must not be lit up during operation. During system startup, LED 2 Error lights up until initialization of the device is completed. When LED 2 Error goes out, the device is ready for use. In this case, the device can also be operated via the Ethernet Interface. If LED 2 Error does not go out during system startup, this can indicate problems with the SD card or the device. In this case, follow the instructions in 2.8 Monitoring Functions. Check whether an SD card is inserted and whether write protection has been deactivated for the card. If LED 2 Error is flashing, no SD card has been inserted. LED 3 – SD card status LED 3 – SD card status provides information about the fill level of the SD card. • If this LED is not lit up, at least 50 % of the storage capacity of the SD card is still available. • If the LED lights up, 50 % to 80 % of the card is filled with records. • If the LED is flashing, this indicates that more than 80 % of the card is filled with records. LED 4 – SD card read LED 4 – SD card read indicates read access to the SD card, for example when a record is requested via the Ethernet interface. LED 5 – SD card write LED 5 – SD card write indicates write access to the SD card. If the record is being saved on the SD card after triggering, the LED will light up. NOTICE An interruption during write access can make the records saved on the SD card unreadable. ² Do not switch off the device during write access to the SD card. LED 6 – Trigger active LED 6 Trigger active indicates triggering of the traveling wave recorder. In at least one channel of the device, it has been determined that the input signal threshold-value has been exceeded, and a recording has been triggered. LED 6 – Trigger active goes out as soon as all records from the buffer have been saved on the SD card. LED 7 – GNSS locked The precise position of the antenna of the GNSS receiver is determined before using the device. The position data of the device or the antenna is determined over a long period of time and saved in the device. The position data is required for time synchronization. The following statuses are indicated by the LED: 2.5 Device Structure 2.5 LED Assignment and Device Status 16 SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 • LED off: Saved position data is not available. Time synchronization is not possible. • LED flashes: Determination of the positioning has not yet been completed. Time synchronization is possible, even if determination of the position has not yet been completed. • LED on: The position data is available. Time synchronization is possible. If LED 7 GNSS locked goes out again during operation, the quality of the GNSS signal has deteriorated. Check the position of the antenna and the correct connection to the device. LED 8 – Sync – 1 PPS The blinking of LED 8 Sync – 1 PPS at one-second intervals indicates the presence of the PPS pulse. If LED 8 Sync – 1 PPS remains off then the device is no longer synchronized. In this case, check the position of the antenna and the correct connection to the device. ii NOTE For additional information on the possible fault statuses, refer to 2.8 Monitoring Functions. Application and Setting Notes Overview To display the channels correctly in the fault records, the device requires information about the system and the respective channels. This information is made available to the device via the parameters. Set the device parameters using the Travelling Wave Explorer program. A description of these parameters and their effect on the fault records follows. Station and Device Name Use the station name and the device name to assign a traveling wave record to a device. Both names are entered in the record in accordance with the COMTRADE standard IEC 60255-24:2013 and IEEE C 37.111:2013. The names are displayed in SIGRA or another COMTRADE viewer. The start of the file name for a record is also composed of the station name and the device name. The names are followed by the date, the time, and the trigger time in ns. The runtime on the cable between the transformer and the device is not taken into account in the trigger time in the file name. ____.cfg Example: There is a record from the following device with the following time stamp: • Station name: Berlin • Device name: 7SE20 • Date: June 14, 2023 • Time: 08:58:54 • Time stamp in ns: 304900120 The file name of the fault record is as follows: Berlin_7SE20_20230614_085854_304900120.cfg 2.6 2.6.1 2.6.2 Device Structure 2.6 Application and Setting Notes SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual 17 E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 Parameter: Station name • Default setting: Station name = Station Use parameter Station name to specify the name of the station in which the device is installed. A maximum of 15 alphanumeric characters are available for this. When a record is saved, the station name is entered in the CFG file of the record. Parameter: Device name • Default setting: Device name = Device Use parameter Device name to define a name for the device within the station. A maximum of 15 alphanu- meric characters are available for this. When a fault record is saved, the device name is entered in the CFG file of the record in addition to the station name. Transformer Data To detect traveling waves, connect the device directly to the current and voltage transformers in a system. The following parameters can be used to configure the current and voltage channels in the device: Parameter: Rated primary current • Default setting: Rated primary current = 1000 A Use parameter Rated primary current to set the primary current of the 3-phase current transformer. Set a value from 1 A to 100 000 A. Parameter: Rated secondary current • Default setting: Rated secondary current = 1 A Use parameter Rated secondary current to set the secondary current of the 3-phase current trans- former. Set a value of 1 A or 5 A. Parameter: Star point • Default setting Star point = LINE Use parameter Star point to set the direction of the neutral point in the current transformer in accordance with the following figure. The neutral point can face either the direction of the line or the direction of the busbar. The default setting for the parameter is LINE. If you switch the parameter to BUSBAR, the direction of the phase currents and the ground current IN will be changed within the device. 2.6.3 Device Structure 2.6 Application and Setting Notes 18 SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 [dw_polstromwdl_7SE20, 1, en_US] Figure 2-3 Polarity of the current transformer Parameter: Rated primary voltage • Default setting: Rated primary voltage = 400 kV Use parameter Rated primary voltage to set the primary voltage of the 3-phase voltage transformer. Set a value from 0.2 kV to 1200 kV. Parameter: Rated secondary voltage • Default setting: Rated secondary voltage = 100 V Use parameter Rated secondary voltage to set the secondary voltage of the 3-phase voltage trans- former. Set a value from 80 V to 230 V. Connection between the Transformer and the Device For fault location, the time of arrival of the wave at the end of the line is required. This is where the current and voltage transformers are installed. But the time stamps are only assigned in the device. The propagation of the traveling wave in the secondary cabling delays the trigger event. Therefore the trigger signal is recorded by the device with a time delay. The time delay is subtracted from the time of the trigger event to obtain the correct time stamp. To do this, enter the length of the cable and the propagation velocity on this cable. These values are set separatelyfor the current transformer and the voltage transformer. Only one of these two setting values is effective. If a current signal initially initiates a trigger signal then the Velocity factor cable CT setting value becomes effective. If a voltage signal initially initiates a trigger signal then the Velocity factor cable VT setting value becomes effective. This time delay is calculated based on the following formula: [fo_TW_Time Delay Cable, 2, en_US] where: tc Calculated time delay of the trigger signal through the wiring lT Length of the cable between the current or voltage transformer and the device. Depending on the transformer, the parameter is Cable length CT or Cable length VT. 2.6.4 Device Structure 2.6 Application and Setting Notes SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual 19 E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 c Speed of light velocity factor Relative propagation velocity of the wave on the cable in relation to the speed of light c. Current transformer: Parameter Velocity factor cable CT Voltage transformer: Parameter Velocity factor cable VT Parameter: Cable length CT • Default setting Cable length CT = 50 m Use parameter Cable length CT to set the length of the cable between the current transformer and the device. Set a value from 1 m to 500 m, according to the cable used. Parameter: Velocity factor cable CT • Default setting Velocity factor cable CT = 67.0 % Use parameter Velocity factor cable CT to set the relative propagation velocity of the traveling wave in the cable between the current transformer and the device. The value is specified as a percentage in relation to the speed of light. Set a value from 20 % to 100 %. If you do not know the value of the cable, use the default value of 67 %. Parameter: Cable length VT • Default setting Cable length VT = 50 m Use parameter Cable length VT to set the length of the cable between the voltage transformer and the device. Set a value from 1 m to 500 m, according to the cable used. Parameter: Velocity factor cable VT • Default setting Velocity factor cable VT = 67.0 % Use parameter Velocity factor cable VT to set the relative propagation velocity of the traveling wave in the cable between the voltage transformer and the device. The value is specified as a percentage in relation to the speed of light. Set a value from 20 % to 100 %. If you do not know the value of the cable, use the default value of 67 %. Resolution and Trigger Thresholds ii NOTE All of the following setting values relate to the secondary parameters at the respective transformer. Adjust the resolution of the current and voltage channels to the size of the high-frequency signal shares. The recommended setting values can be calculated from the line and transformer data using the following formulas. Larger values do not result in any improvement, as the resolution of the signal in the evaluated frequency range is smaller. ii NOTE The fundamental component of the current and voltage signals is filtered out and is therefore not visible in the record. Therefore, the fundamental component does not have to be taken into account when setting the resolution and the trigger thresholds. 2.6.5 Device Structure 2.6 Application and Setting Notes 20 SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 The trigger thresholds specify the current or voltage level from which recording of a record starts. If the trigger threshold in one of the channels is exceeded, a record is recorded. If the setting values are too small, unnecessary records will be generated even when there is no event in the power system. On the other hand, if the setting values are too high, no record will be generated when there is an event. Siemens recommends the following settings: • For the current channels: 20 % of the maximum recording level • For the voltage channels: 10 % of the maximum recording level Parameter: Full scale current • Default setting Full scale current = 2 A Use parameter Full scale current to set the scale end value for the measurement at the secondary current transformer inputs. This value specifies the maximum current value that can be recorded. Larger values are clipped. Set a value from 0.280 A to 28 A. The setting value can be calculated from the maximum possible voltage pulse on the line: [fo_Max voltage impulse, 1, en_US] This results in the maximum primary current pulse: [fo_TW_Max current impulse, 1, en_US] When calculating the setting value, take parameter Full scale current into account as well as the current ratio and the attenuation factor Fatt. The setting value for parameter Full scale current can be determined as follows: [fo_TW_Full Scale Current, 1, en_US] where: Fatt Attenuation factor of the primary current of the current transformer Vrated, prim Rated Rated primary voltage (Parameter Rated primary voltage) ZW Characteristic impedance of the line Irated, prim Rated primary current (Parameter Rated primary current) Irated, sec Rated secondary current (Parameter Rated secondary current) The current transformer attenuates the high-frequency signal shares in the range from 10 kHz to 2 MHz more than the fundamental component of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The attenuation factor Fatt specifies the transmission ratio for high-frequency signal shares in comparison to the fundamental component share. ii NOTE The attenuation factor is not specified by the transformer manufacturer. If the attenuation factor of the primary current is not known, Siemens recommends using an attenuation factor of 1.0 for the calculation. The characteristic impedance ZW is independent of the length of the line. It is determined by the design, materials, and insulation of the line. For overhead lines, the characteristic impedance ZW is 200 Ω to 400 Ω, for underground cables, it is 10 Ω to 40 Ω. Device Structure 2.6 Application and Setting Notes SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual 21 E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 If the characteristic impedance of the line ZW is not known, it can be calculated approximately using the following formula: [fo_TW_Characteristical impedance, 1, en_US] where: L' Inductance per unit length of the line. Calculate this value using the positive-sequence impedance Z1 of the line. C' Capacitance per unit length of the line. This value is also called the capacitance per unit length of the line CB, is identical to the capacitance of the positive-sequence system C1, and can be found in the technical data of the line. Example: For the following system, calculate the setting value for parameter Full scale current as follows: Size Value Rated primary voltage Vrated, prim 380 kV Rated secondary voltage Vrated, sec 100 V Rated primary current Irated, prim 800 A Rated secondary current Irated, sec 1 A Rated frequency frated 50 Hz Positive-sequence impedance R'1 + j X'1 (0.027 + j0.307) Ω Positive-sequence impedance capacity C'1 11.8 nF/km Attenuation factor Fatt of the current transformer Unknown In the 1st step, the characteristic impedance of the line is calculated. The inductance per unit length is calculated from the positive-sequence impedance of the line: [fo_TW_Example_Induct_L1, 1, en_US] The characteristic impedance is then: [fo_TW_Characteristical impedance Example, 1, en_US] The attenuation factor Fatt is unknown, therefore the calculation is carried out with the value 1.0: [fo_TW_Full Scale Current Example, 1, en_US] Table 2-1 shows the characteristic impedance ZW for some overhead lines, and the possible setting value for parameter Full scale current. The secondary setting value was calculated for a rated primary current of 600 A.

The tip of the edge is no longer included in the signal. According to the formula • No clipping of the current curves • Resolution is used optimally • Edges are clearly identifiable. Too high • No clipping of the current curves • Resolution is not fully used • If the resolution is not adequate, the edges cannot be clearly identified. Parameter: Trigger level current • Default setting Trigger level current = 0.400 A Use parameter Trigger level current to set the trigger threshold for measured values at the current transformer inputs. If the threshold value is exceeded at one of the measurement inputs, a recording starts. The setting value relates to the secondary current of the instrument transformer and is specified in Amperes. The setting range for this parameter is dependent on the setting value of parameter Full scale current. The limits are calculated as follows: • Bottom limit: 1 % of the setting value Full scale current • Top limit: 99 % of the setting value Full scale current Siemens recommends setting the value to 20 % of the maximum current value Full scale current. Example: The setting value for parameter Full scale current was calculated as 1.8 A. This results in the following limiting values for parameter Trigger level current: • Bottom limit: 0.018 A • Top limit: 1.782 A • Recommended setting value: 0.360 A Device Structure 2.6 Application and Setting Notes SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual 23 E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 Parameter: Full scale voltage • Default setting Full scale voltage = 25,000 V Use parameter Full scale voltage to set the scale end value for measurement at the secondary voltage transformer inputs. This value specifies the maximum voltage value that can be recorded. Larger values are clipped. Set a value from 0.235 to 235 000 V. The value can be calculated from the maximum possible voltage pulse on the line: [fo_Max voltage impulse, 1, en_US] The voltage transformer attenuates the high-frequency signal shares in the range from 10 kHz to 2 MHz more than the fundamental component of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The attenuation factor Fatt,V specifies the transmission ratio for high-frequency signal transmission in comparison to the fundamental component share. ii NOTE If the attenuation factor of the primary voltage of the voltage transformer is not known, Siemens recom- mends using an attenuation factor of 1.0 for the calculation. The correct value for parameter Full scale voltage can be determined as follows: [fo_TW_Full Scale Voltage, 1, en_US] where: Fatt,V Attenuation factor of the primary voltage of the voltage transformer Vrated, sec Rated secondary voltage The following table shows possible impacts of the setting value on the measuring results: Setting value for parameter Full scale voltage Possible impacts on the measuring results Too low • Voltage curves that are too large are clipped. • If the voltage curves are clipped, the edges appear very steep.

[sc_faultrecording_full_scale_voltage_too_large, 1, --_--] Figure 2-6 Maximum voltage value set too high: The voltage curve is superimposed with noise. Parameter: Trigger level voltage • Default setting = 2,500 V The default setting is dependent on the setting value of parameter Full Scale Voltage. Use parameter Trigger level voltage to set the trigger threshold for measured values at the voltage transformer inputs. If the threshold value is exceeded at one of the measurement inputs, a recording starts. The setting value relates to the voltage on the secondary circuit of the instrument transformer and is specified in volts. The setting range and the default setting for this parameter are dependent on the setting value of parameter Full scale voltage: • Bottom limit: 1 % of the setting value Full scale voltage • Top limit: 99 % of the setting value Full scale voltage Siemens recommends setting the value to 10 % of the maximum voltage value Full scale voltage. If you have not connected the voltage transformer, set the maximum possible value. Device Structure 2.6 Application and Setting Notes SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual 25 E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 Example: The setting value for parameter Full scale voltage was calculated as 25.0 V. This results in the following limiting values result for parameter Trigger level voltage: • Bottom limit: 0.25 V • Top limit: 24.75 V • Recommended setting value: 2.50 V Recording Events The device continuously saves the current and voltage signals, so data is available even before the start of the record if there is a trigger event. The maximum length of a traveling wave record is 50 ms. Adjust the pre-trigger time and post-trigger time for a trigger event using the following parameters. Parameter: Pre-trigger length • Default setting: Pre-trigger length = 2.00 ms With parameter Pre-trigger length, set the pre-trigger time for recording of an event. Set a value from 0.1 ms to 25.00 ms. Parameter: Post-trigger length • Default setting Post-trigger length = 3.00 ms With parameter Post-trigger length, set the record time after the trigger. Set a value from 0.1 ms to 25.00 ms. To record several reflections of the fault location as well as of the opposite line end, Siemens recommends setting the value according to the following equation: [fo_Post-Trigger Time, 1, --_--] where: l Line length c Speed of light Example: The following image shows a traveling wave record. The Pre-trigger length was set to 2 ms, and the Post-trigger length was set to 3 ms. 2.6.6 Device Structure 2.6 Application and Setting Notes 26 SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 [sc_faultrecording_pre_post_trigger_time, 1, --_--] Figure 2-7 Traveling Waves Record with Pre-trigger Length and Post-trigger Length Setting the GNSS Module For time synchronization, the device has a GNSS module (Global Navigation Satellite System). This can receive signals from GPS and GLONASS satellites. Before using the device, exact positioning of the installed antenna is required. For how to start positioning with the Travelling Wave Explorer program, refer to 3.7.4.1 Initiating Positioning. The antenna is connected to the device with a cable. Due to the cable, the GNSS signals arrive at the device with a delay. This time delay is compensated for during calculation of the time stamp. To do this, enter the length ofthe cable and the propagation velocity on this cable: Parameter: Antenna cable length • Default setting: Antenna cable length = 20 m Use parameter Antenna cable length to specify the length of the antenna cable to the device. Set a value from 1 m to 500 m. The default value corresponds to the supplied antenna cable. Only change the setting value if you are using a different cable. Parameter: Velocity factor for antenna cable • Default setting: Velocity factor for antenna cable = 80.0 % Use parameter Velocity factor for antenna cable to specify the relative propagation velocity of the GNSS signal on the antenna cable in relation to the speed of light. Set a value from 20.0 % to 100.0 %. The 2.6.7 Device Structure 2.6 Application and Setting Notes SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual 27 E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 default value corresponds to the supplied antenna cable. Only change the setting value if you are using a different cable. If you do not know the relative propagation velocity of a signal on your cable, use the default value of 80 %. Configuration of the Ethernet Interface The Ethernet interface is used to operate the device with the Travelling Wave Explorer program: • Setting parameters • Downloading records • Initiating a test record • Updating the device firmware Using the following parameters from the IP Configuration group, you can configure the Ethernet interface: Parameter: IP address • Default setting: IP address = 172.16.60.60 Use parameter IP address to set the Ethernet IP communication interface of the device. Every device must be assigned a unique IP address. The IP address to be set depends on your network configuration. You can set any valid IPv4 address that does not cause conflicts with other IP addresses in the network. IP addresses have the format x.y.y.x. The components of the IP address can take the following values: Component of the IP address Range of values X 1 to 254 Y 0 to 254 ii NOTE In the delivery status, the IP address 172.16.60.60 is saved in the device. The device can initially only be accessed and configured via this address. Parameter: Subnet mask • Default setting: Subnet mask=255.255.255.0 Use parameter Subnet mask to define a subnetwork mask. With the subnetwork mask, the recipient of data packets can distinguish sections of the network ID and the host ID in the IP address. The subnetwork mask is a 32-bit value. Parameter: Default gateway • Default setting: Default gateway=172.16.60.65 Use parameter Default gateway to set the IP address of the gateway. Parameter: MTU frame size • Default setting: MTU frame size=1500 bytes Use parameter MTU frame size to specify the maximum transmission size for packages in the data network. Set a value from 576 bytes to 1500 bytes. Siemens recommends using the default setting. Only set a smaller value if your network requires this. 2.6.8 Device Structure 2.6 Application and Setting Notes 28 SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 Setting Notes for Fault Location Using the Travelling Wave Explorer program, you can perform double-end fault location. To do this, the matching records from both ends of the line and some line data that you enter in the Travelling Wave Explorer program are required. For how to enter the line data, see Editing the Line Properties, Page 47. Line Settings - Length Parameter Specify the line length in km. Values from 1 km to 1000 km are possible. Line Settings - Velocity Parameter Specify the propagation velocity of the wave in km/s. If the propagation velocity is not known, you can calculate the setting value based on the line data, using the following formula: [fo_TW_Propagation_Speed, 1, --_--] where: L' Inductance per unit length of the line. Calculate this value using the positive-sequence impedance Z1 of the line. C' Capacitance per unit length of the line. This value is also called the capacitance per unit length of the line CB, is identical to the capacitance of the positive-sequence system C1, and can be found in the technical data of the line. The following table shows the propagation velocity for some overhead lines.

The SIGRA program must be installed for the following steps. Double-End Fault Location ² Using the Travelling Wave Explorer program, download the records belonging to the fault. You can recognize the associated records by the time stamps on both devices. The time stamps of the associated records differ by just a few microseconds. To find out how to download records, see 3.8.2 Downloading the Traveling Wave Records Individually. ² Copy the associated records from both line ends into a new folder on your computer. ² Start the program SIGRA. 2.6.9 2.7 Device Structure 2.7 Evaluating a Traveling Wave Record with SIGRA SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual 29 E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 ² Open the record for the first side of the line via menu option File / Open. - or - ² Open the first record by double-clicking the CFG file. The record is displayed. For fault location, perform the following steps: ² Switch to the instantaneous values view. To do this, click the Instantaneous values button. ² To select all diagrams in the illustration, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A. ² Right-click in one of the displayed diagrams and select Optimize in the menu. The diagrams are then scaled so that the full current and voltage curves are shown. The first record is displayed in SIGRA. [sc_SIGRA_Record_1, 1, en_US] Figure 2-8 Record of a 1-phase short circuit BG on a 400 kV Line Now load the 2nd record from the other end of the line: ² In SIGRA, select Paste / Fault record in the menu. ² In the file selection dialog, select the 2nd record. You can see both records one on top of the other in SIGRA. The records are automatically synchronized. You can see the time difference between the 2 trigger events. All evaluation options of SIGRA are available to you. For double-end fault location, it is helpful to display the current or voltage curves of both sides of the line in one diagram: ² In SIGRA, right-click in the last diagram of the record. ² Select New. ² Right-click in the newly created diagram and select Assign signals. ² Select the signals that are to be displayed together in the new diagram. For a fault BG, this could be signals K1:IL2 B and K2:IL2 B. Device Structure 2.7 Evaluating a Traveling Wave Record with SIGRA 30 SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 The signals for both ends of the lines are shown in one diagram. Use the 2 cursors to determine the fault location. ² Slide cursor 2 (blue) to the first edge of the signal from the 1st device (node K1). Select either the start or the top of the edge. ² Slide cursor 1 (orange) to the first edge of the signal from the 2nd device (node K2). In SIGRA, the time difference between the two marks is displayed in the top left in the C2-C1 field. [sc_delta_t_2side_flt_loc, 1, en_US] Figure 2-9 Determining the time difference between the edges on both ends of the line ² Determine the fault location with the measured time difference according to the following formula: [fo_TW_FaultLocation_2side_formula, 1, en_US] where: x Distance to the fault location in km l Length of the line in km v Propagation velocity of the traveling wave in km/s Δt Time difference between the edges in s Example:There is a line with the following data: Size Value Length of line l 117 km Voltage level: 400 kV Propagation velocity v 294 486 km/s With SIGRA, a time difference of -0.24796 ms was measured. The distance to the fault location is: [fo_TW_Example_2-Side, 1, --_--] Device Structure 2.7 Evaluating a Traveling Wave Record with SIGRA SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual 31 E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 Single-End Fault Location For single-end fault-location, the time difference between the first edge and the reflection from the fault location is measured. The following figure shows the possible reflections of the traveling wave: [dw_TWFL_Reflections, 1, --_--] Figure 2-10 Reflections of the traveling wave tA1 Time stamp of the 1st edge of the traveling wave tB1 Time stamp of the 1st edge of the traveling wave at the opposite end tA2 Time stamp of the 2nd edge of the traveling wave. 1st reflection from the fault location tA3 Time stamp of the 3rd edge of the traveling wave. 2nd reflection from the fault location tA4 Time stamp of the 4th edge of the traveling wave. 1st reflection from the opposite end The traveling wave propagates from the fault location. At time tA1, the wave reaches measuring point A for the first time. The wave is reflected at the line ends and at the fault location. At time tA2, the 1st reflection reaches measuring point A. The distance between the fault location and measuring point A can be determined from the time difference Δt = tA2-tA1. If you know which edge is a reflection of the fault, then reliable single-end fault location is possible. If the record contains other reflections of the fault location, then the time difference between the edges of the reflections is the same. Reflections can also occur at other places on the line. Possible reflections are: • The busbar at the opposite end • Branch points on the line • Places where the geometry of the line changes • Coupling points between an overhead line and a cable section Therefore, single-end fault location is not always clear. If there are faults near the opposite end of the line, several reflections will be superimposed. Clear fault location is not possible in these cases. To find the correct fault location out of the possible values, compare the values with the result of the fault locator of a protection device. Determine the distance to the fault location as follows: ² Using the Travelling Wave Explorer program, download the record belonging to the fault. ² Start the program SIGRA. ² Open the record via menu item File / Open. - or - Device Structure 2.7 Evaluating a Traveling Wave Record with SIGRA 32 SIPROTEC, Travelling Wave Recorder, Device Manual E50417-X0040-C000-A2, Edition 03.2025 ² Open the record by double-clicking the CFG file. The record is displayed. For fault location, perform the following steps: ² Switch to the instantaneous values view. To do this, click the Instantaneous values button. ² To select all diagrams in the illustration, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A. ² Right-click in one of the displayed diagrams and select Optimize in the menu. The record is displayed in SIGRA. ² Search for a current or voltage signal in which the 1st and 2nd edge of the traveling wave can be seen. Other edges enable you to check the result. ² Zoom in on the record so that the edges are clearly visible. ² Slide the 1st cursor (orange) to the start of the 1st edge. ² Slide the 2nd cursor (blue) to the start of the 2nd edge. In SIGRA the time difference between the two marks is displayed in the top left in the C2-C1 field. [sc_delta_t_1-side, 1, --_--] Figure 2-11 Measuring the time difference between 2 edges for single-end fault location ² Calculate the distance to the fault location using the following formula: [fo_TW_FaultLocation_1side, 1, --_--] Example: In the record, a time difference of 0.06793 ms was measured between the two edges on current signal IC. The distance to the fault location is: [fo_Example_1-Side, 1, --_--] This result can be checked with the 3rd edge. ² Slide the two cursors in SIGRA to the 2nd edge (blue) and the 3rd edge (black). ² Measure the time difference between the two edges as previously described. If the time difference is the same as the first measured time difference, then the fault location is correct. In the example, the 2nd time difference was measured as 0.06923 ms. This value is almost identical to the difference between the first two edges.
