1 Introduction
This document lists the protection relays and Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) which are approved by
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) for use on the power distribution system

1.1 All protection relays to be used on the SSEN network are subject to the ENA assessment process
and/or extensively tested internally. This document contains a list of relays which are currently
approved for use on the SSEN distribution network. For relays and equipment where the exact
manufacturer configuration number is not specified an electrical engineer with the suitable
knowledge and experience/or protection engineer must specify a relay appropriate for the
application required. Where the protection design is carried out by a third party, SSEN may be
contacted where clarification is required on a relay/application in order to prevent equipment being
incorrectly specified. If a relay is not listed in this document it will be subject to Technical
Authorisation in accordance with PR-NET-ENG-001 (see section 6).
1.2 This document exists to control the range of protection relays installed on the SSEN network so that
relays for protection solutions are standardised whether installed and designed by SSEN, an
Independent Distribution Network Operator (IDNO), an Independent Connections Provider (ICP) or
where adoption of the third party equipment has occurred.
1.3 This list will be reviewed as cited in this document’s review date to ensure the protection relays are
economical to procure and continued to be ‘fit for purpose’ for use by SSEN, IDNOs and ICPs
designing and installing equipment to be adopted by SSEN.
1.4 The cortecs / product codes listed are important and deviations from the listed cortecs / product
codes are not permitted.
1.5 New IEDs with approved firmware versions should be factory tested for its functionalilty and the
necessary type test certificates along with it’s serial number need to be presented to the SSEN
protection engineer. Occasionally ‘Flashing a relay’ with new firmware on site without factory tests
may be necessary. The instructions to Flash a relay at site should be a recommendation from
manufacturer and necessary supplier approved documentation should be in place to perform the
action. The relays flashed should be recommissioned for all its functionalities and signal checks.
Testing selected protection functions alone after ‘Flashing’ is not acceptable.

The protection functions (‘Protection in use (ANSI)’ column) ascribed to each relay are typical and include all
the functions that may be required of that particular relay at the indicated voltage level. Special care should
be taken to ensure that the protection functions in use are suitable for the network to be protected and this is
the responsibility of the protection engineer designing the scheme. The functionalities listed are for reference
purposes only and not for designing schemes.

4 Approval process
4.1 New relays to be used or trialled on the SSEN power distribution network will be subject to a
Technical Authorisation in accordance with PR-NET-ENG-001 for ‘New or Changed Products’. This
process must be completed prior to the relay being procured, trialled or energised on the network.
4.2 Applications for Technical Approval of an IED has to be proactively made well ahead of trialling it in a
Capital or Rechargeable live Project. It should not be presented as the only available solution
pressurising the approving authority i.e being reactive to find protection solutions.
4.3 Trialling a new solution that is not ENA assessed by connecting in a SSEN location / test site (which
has least customers) operating as parallel without ‘trip-outputs-connected’ is permitted, provided a
Technical approval for the same is in place.
4.4 All IEDs or protection related solutions introduced in SSEN systems as part of the CB framework
agreements, loose relay procurement as a replacement for historic relays or being part of a ‘Design
& Build’ package needs to be technically authorised before reaching the design approval stage and
before procurement.
4.5 Strategic Investments – Regions and Technical services (North and south) should not deal with
suppliers directly receiving quotes for protection relays or Relay panels or any other OT related
products without Procurement, OT standards and Equipment specification team’s awareness.
Involvement with the three key stakeholders in an early stage will ensure speedy approval process
for any protection related solutions.
4.6 Technical Authorisation may only be granted by the Technical Authority, as appointed in PR-NET-
ENG-002. The Technical Authority for Protection Relays and IEDs is the Standards Manager,
Operational Technology. Submissions may be made to [Link]@[Link].
4.7 Relays will be removed from this document and updated: As the hardware is made obsolete / Where
there are known reliability issues / Where SSEN incur high costs for repairs from suppliers / Where a
brand of relay/equipment presents a risk to the network from plant requiring to be switched out to
facilitate repair and replacement.
4.8 Relays will only be added to the list once adequate type testing has taken place internally, even if it
has already been subject to Electricity Networks Association (ENA) assessment. In some cases relays
can be included where suitable internal testing has taken place, results documented, and the relay is
subject to similar IEC or ANSI standards as applied by the ENA but not ENA assessed. All reasonable
efforts will be made to have the relay approved in cases where it is not.
