2. General
The WIP1 is a self-powered time overcurrent relay with multi-characteristics and including earth fault protec-
tion. Definite time and inverse time tripping characteristics can be selected.
Due to its wide setting ranges, the tripping characteristic can be selected to protect a wide variety of different
equipment.
The WIP1 does not require any aux. voltage supply, consequently it can also be used for switchboards with-
out auxiliary power supply. It takes its power supply energy from the C.T. circuits and provides the tripping
pulse energy to the circuit breaker.
The WIP1 is a robust protective device that is designed for a long-time operation with minimum maintenance
efforts even under extreme climate conditions. Our experience with WI Line self-powered protective relays
shows that the MTBF („Mean Time Between Failures“) is approx. 200 years (calculated based on data up to
year 2012), and there are WIP1 relays being in service at our customers’ sites for more than 22 years even
under harsh climate conditions.

Figure 4.1: Connection example with relay tripping

It is mandatory that the WIP1 is grounded (earthed) via the terminal marked
by “ ”.
All grounding connections must be low-inductance, i. e. as short as
possible, and national standards – if applicable – must be followed.

Figure 4.2: Connection including earth fault detection via Holmgreen connection

Please note: In this circuit we recommend earthing the current

transformers via the relay connection.
*1: If the current transformers have to be earthed directly, the earthing
connection on WIP1 must be removed. Otherwise the measuring
transformer for earth fault measuring is short-circuited.

4.1.1 Connecting the Serial Interface

The relays are connected to a PC/laptop via an RS232/RS485-interface converter by using the two-wire
method. Each relay is connected to terminals P and N. The last relay in terms of “hardware” must then be
equipped with terminating resistors. This is done by connecting terminals P with J1 and N with J2.

Figure 4.5: Connection of the serial interface

DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J 13
Manual WIP1 Woodward

4.1.2 Current Transformer Inputs

The protection unit WIP1 receives the analog input signals of the phase currents I L1 (1S1 ‑ 1S2),
IL2 (2S1 ‑ 2S2) and IL3 (3S1 ‑ 3S2) for phase current, earth current and negative sequence measuring.
The measured current values are analogously filtered and fed to the analog/digital converter.

4.1.3 Control Inputs

Input remote tripping
The remote tripping input (terminals 20 and 22) enables tripping by an external voltage pulse, e. g. from a
thermal overcurrent tripping device, Buchholz protection or other external trip commands. By bypassing the
measuring circuits, this input (230 V AC max. 5 min) has a direct effect on the trip circuit. The input terminals
are galvanically decoupled from the relay electronics.

Signal inputs
Signal inputs for blocking and protection (terminals 14 and 17) for fast trip (terminals 32 and 33) as well as
external reset (terminals 14 and 15) can be activated by applying an external voltage. (Voltage level: see
“Signal inputs” in Chapter 9.)

Blocking function (terminals 14 and 17):

Single or all trip elements can either be blocked or re-leased.

Fast trip (terminals 32 and 33):

By this function the CB can be tripped instantaneously. There are two different kind of trippings:

 Instantaneous means, a trip is initiated as soon as the minimum current is available (lowest power
supply value adjustable).
 After activation means, the high-speed tripping function only is activated if one of the phase
currents exceeds the set value.

The fast trip input can be applied for e.g. arcing fault detectors.

Reset
After a trip event the alarm relay is reset and the LED extinguishes when voltage is applied (see also
chapter 6.9 “Reset”. For the voltage level: see “Signal inputs” in Chapter 9).

DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J 14
Manual WIP1 Woodward

4.1.4 Operation Outputs

There is the choice of two tripping methods:

 Electric pulse output

A trip command is a sequence of power pulses that the WIP1 gives directly to the tripping coil of the CB
(terminals 1 and 2). These pulses are given every 150 ms and repeated until the CB is switched off. (See
also “Electro pulse output circuit” in Chapter “Technical Data”.)

 Potential free contacts (relay 1/latching) terminals (23, 24, 28 and 24, 25, 26)
For applications where a higher trip output energy is required, a bi-stable relay with two potential free
changeover contacts is provided in the trip circuit. After the relay has tripped, the contacts remain in trip
position until reset by the <RESET> push button.

 Potential free contacts (relay 2) terminals (34, 35, 36)

For applications where a higher trip output energy is required, a relay with one potential free changeover
contact is provided in the trip circuit. This Relay can be assigned to any function (see 6.7 “Tripping
Method/Relay Matrix”).

Example:
When using DC coils it has be observed that the breaking capacity of the output contacts is not unlimited
(see chapter 7).
In case the coil burden is higher than the contact breaking capacity, the following circuit arrangement can be
used:

Figure 4.6: Example

By connecting a trip contact of the WIP1 and an aux. contact of the C.B. in series it is prevented that the
WIP1 contact is arcing so that safe switching off is guaranteed.
 Watchdog (Terminals 29, 30, 31):
For continuous supervision of the program flow a “hardware watchdog” is installed. In case of processor
failure, the watchdog is activated after detection of a specific minimal current. The self-supervision relay
is a working current relay.

DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J 15
Manual WIP1 Woodward

4.1.5 Trip Indication

The WIP1 is provided with an LED for the optical trip indication. Tripping can additionally be indicated via an
external indicator. Flashing of the LED can be suppressed by parameter setting.
Fault values can be shown on the display, and moreover, the fault values are stored within the relay together
with a timestamp.

4.1.6 Serial Interface

By way of hardware the serial interface is a RS-485 interface. The WIP1-3 relay can alternatively be pro-
vided with either Modbus Protocol or Woodward-Pro Open Data Protocol. For protocol data please see the
Profi-Pack file for Modbus or the Woodward-Pro Open Data Protocol.

DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J 16
Manual WIP1 Woodward

5. Working Principle
5.1 Current Transformer Inputs
The alternating currents induced by the main current transformers provide the WIP1's supply energy and
form the measuring value. The measuring currents are galvanically isolated via the input transformers,
decoupled from high-frequency interferences by analog RC-filters and then converted into current
proportional voltages. The noise signals caused by inductive and capacitive coupling are suppressed by an
analog R-C filter circuit. The analog voltage signals are fed to the A/D-converter of the microprocessor and
transformed to digital signals through Sample-and-Hold-circuits. The analog signals are sampled at 50 Hz
(60 Hz) with a sampling frequency of 800 Hz (960 Hz), namely, a sampling rate of 1.25 ms (1.04 ms) for
every measuring quantity. (16 samples per period).

5.2 Digital Circuits

The essential part of the WIP1 is a powerful microcontroller. All of the operations - from the analogue/digital
conversion to the relay trip decision - are carried out by the microcontroller digitally. The relay program is
saved in an EPROM (Electrically-Programmable-Read-Only-Memory). With this program the CPU of the
microcontroller processes the voltages applied at the analogue input circuits and calculates the basic current
harmonics. For this calculation an efficient digital filter, based on the Fourier Transformation (DFT – Discrete
Fourier Transformation) is applied to suppress high frequency harmonics and DC components caused by
fault-induced transients or other system disturbances. The relay setting values for all parameters are saved
in a parameter memory (EEPROM - Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-only Memory) and constantly
compared with the actual current by the microprocessor. If a phase current exceeds the pickup value, an
alarm is given and after the set trip delay has elapsed, the corresponding trip relay is activated. For
continuous supervision of the program flow a “hardware watchdog” is installed. In case of failure, the
watchdog timer resets the microprocessor and gives an alarm signal via the “self-supervision” output relay.
Such a failure is indicated by the following display:

_Internal_Fault__
________________

5.3 Relay Clock for Timestamps

The relay is provided with a buffered clock so that the system time is kept even the power supply is
interrupted. (All protection functions remain fully functional even if the battery is empty or not fitted at all.)

DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J 17
Manual WIP1 Woodward

5.4 Operating Modes

5.4.1 Phase Current ≥ 0.5 A (CT-Powered Mode)
The WIP1 is already fully operational – including all protection functions and a permanent display of
measurement values (see 6.2) – as soon as the CT current is ≥ 0.5 A in at least one phase. (This is also the
smallest possible setting for the tripping threshold.) Dual-power (which is an option only for WIP1-2 and
WIP1-3) reduces this even further, see 5.4.3.

Note that some functionality is already available below 0.5 A (for exact data see 9.2). In particular, the
automatic reset has to be mentioned here from the user’s point of view. (See description in Chapter 6.9
“Reset”.)

5.4.2 Phase Current < approx. 0.35 A (Offline Mode)

Without any power supply (if there is no dual-power and the phase current is not sufficient to enter the CT-
powered mode) the WIP1 can be activated by pressing the <DISPLAY ON> button. (The display is then
powered by the display battery.)

 The WIP1 normally shows the menu for parameter settings. This allows for configuring the relay
“offline”, i. e. without having it connected to the substation.
 However, if the WIP1 had tripped and therefore switched off its power supply via the CTs, then it
shows the Fault Memory menu after pressing the <DISPLAY ON> button.

See Figure 6.1 for an overview of the menu structure.

Note the following for WIP1-1 and WIP1-2/3 without dual-power option:
If the maximum phase current is between approx. 0.35 A and 0.5 A it can
happen that after pressing the <DISPLAY ON> button the WIP1 tries to
enter the CT-Powered Mode although the power supply is not sufficient for
this.
One can recognize this activity by the fact that the display shows nothing
but a “–” character.
In this case entering the offline mode is only possible after the CT current
has been reduced below approx. 0.3 A (e. g. by simply disconnecting
the WIP1).

5.4.3 Dual Power Option for WIP1-2 and WIP1-3

The relay versions WIP1-2 and WIP1-3 offer a dual power option, i. e. the option to connect an additional
external power supply.

The dual power source makes the relay operational independently of the supply via the CTs. Moreover,
there is an extended setting range for the phase overcurrent protection, the lowest possible pickup threshold
is 0.2 A.

The dual-power will make the relay n-1 secure, because the electrical power that the relay requires for
operation is taken either from the dual power source or from the CTs.

DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J 18
Manual WIP1 Woodward

5.5 Indicating and Operating Elements

5.5.1 Front Plate
There are the following indicating and operating elements at the front of the relay:
 Two-line LC display with 16 characters per line
 Push buttons for adjustment and operation
 LED for trip indication

5.5.2 Display
All setting and measuring values as well as fault data are shown in the LC display.

5.5.3 LED
The trip status is indicated by the LED at the front. If the relay has tripped, the LED flashes and can be
switched off by pressing any push button. Refer to chapters 6.7.4 and 6.9.

5.6 Function Push Buttons

The following four function push buttons are arranged at the front of the relay:
<SELECT/RESET> “Select” = Selection of function displayed (short pressing of the
push button) “Reset” = Reset of trip functions (long pressing of the
push button, for 3 s)
<+> and <-> Selection of parameters
<ENTER> Storing parameters
<DISPLAY ON> Switching the relay on. If no key is pressed longer than 1 min. the relay
switches off.

The push buttons <SELECT/RESET>, <+>, <-> and <DISPLAY ON> can be activated without removing the
transparent cover by simply using a pin or screw driver.

5.7 Requirements for the Main C.T.s

The advantage of self-powered overcurrent relays is that they do not need any auxiliary power supply. This
results from the fact that the overcurrent relay and the tripping unit receive their energy from the main C.T.s.
The tripping principle of the WIP1 is that the transformer current is driven through the tripping coil in case
tripping takes place. Care must be taken that the current transformer can transmit enough energy at the set
overcurrent pickup value to activate the tripping coil, but does not generate too much energy at high short
circuit currents which would damage the overcurrent relay.

The tripping coil and current transformer have to be determined as follows.

First of all it must be established how much force is required to cause the C.B. to trip. This force must be
converted to electric energy. It can also be established by measurement. This value is very important.
Many coils are defined by way of their rated data such as rated voltage, rated current, internal resistance
and/or permissible on-period. These data do not permit any conclusions regarding the usability of a coil as
the tripping capacity with rated data is usually much higher than is necessary for safe tripping.

5.7.1 Determining the Maximum Coil Resistance

Figure 5.2: Tripping via current transformer I < 12 x In

Figure 5.3: Tripping via self-supply as from 12 x In

DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J 20
Manual WIP1 Woodward

The two diagrams above show the two different tripping methods. In Figure 5.2 the tripping coil is supplied
directly by the current transformer. In Figure 5.3 tripping is effected via an internal supply transformer. The
result is that with tripping current > 12 x In the coil resistance must not be smaller than
17 Ohm. Once it has been established that the tripping current is smaller than 12 x In, the minimum possible
coil resistance can be derived from Figure 5.4.

Figure 5.4: Minimum coil resistance

5.7.2 Characteristics of the Current Transformers

Figure 5.5: Circuit diagram of the secondary C.T. side and magnetizing curve

During normal operation the load of the current transformer is only the WIP impedance and the impedances
of the connection cables. In case of tripping, the tripping coil also affects the transformer. Under any
circumstances it must be prevented that this load has the effect that the transformer gets into saturation to
such an extent that the current flowing through the coil becomes too low to ensure definite tripping.
The secondary transformer current Isec is proportional to the primary transformer current and is a function of
the transformation ratio. This current is divided into the magnetization current of the transformer and a
current IL which flows through the current paths of the overcurrent protection system.
The flux Ф is proportional to the voltage UL and linked to the magnetization current Iµ via the magnetization
curve. As from the value Фs the transformer moves into saturation. As a result the magnetization current
grows overproportionally and the load current decreases at the same rate. So when the transformers are
dimensioned it must be taken into account that with a known resistance Z L the current IL is still sufficient for
tripping the coil. For this reason, the rated current of the tripping coil must be inserted for I Sp in the
calculation below. As the coil current ISp is a direct current, it must be converted into an effective AC value
by means of eq. 1 or eq. 2 (see below). The result is, at the same time, the lowest switching point for
possible tripping.

DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J 21

For tripping in case of a single-phase fault:

𝐼𝑆𝑝
𝐼𝐿 = eq. 1
0.9

For tripping in case of a 3-phase fault:

𝐼𝑆𝑝
𝐼𝐿 = eq. 2
2

The voltage UL where the flux reaches the value Фs is called Umax in the following. Up to this point the
transformer is still working in its precision class and the current IL is nearly as high as current Isec.

The voltage Umax can be calculated as follows:

Umax = IL x ZLmax eq. 3

The impedance ZLmax results from the WIP impedance, the cable impedances and the resistance of the
tripping coil during tripping of the WIP1.

ZLmax = ZWIP + ZLeit + RSp eq. 4

The impedance of WIP1 for the respective pickup value can be found in Figure 5.6 or Figure 5.7.
The resistance of the tripping coil can be determined by measuring, or calculated from the rated data of the
coil.
If a transformer is loaded with its rated impedance ZN, the max. power of the C.T. can be determined as
follows:
First of all an explanation for the definition of the C.T. data:

Class: 10P20;

Class 10 P 20
Tolerance 10%
Protection transformer (P)
ü (overcurrent factor)

Capacity: SN: 1.5 VA

SN: Rated power with rated ohmic resistance and rated current
𝑆𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 𝑈𝑚𝑎𝑥 ∙ ü ∙ 𝐼𝑁𝑠𝑒𝑐
with ü: overcurrent factor of the current transformer eq. 5

The equation
𝑆𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 𝑍𝑁 ∙ (𝐼𝑁 ∙ ü)2 eq. 6

can be used to calculate the rated impedance of the current transformer as follows:

𝑆
𝑍𝑁 = (ü∙𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑥)2 eq. 7
𝑁

And finally, the rated power of the transformer can be calculated as follows:

𝑆𝑁 = 𝑍𝑁 ∙ 𝐼𝑁2 eq. 8

Caution:
With a setting value ≥ 12 x IN the resistance of the tripping coil must not be smaller than 17 Ω.

5.7.3 Overloading of the WIP1

The maximum power consumption of the WIP1 must not exceed 1000 VA for the maximum tripping time.
The maximum power that a transformer can supply is calculated as follows:

𝑆𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 𝑆𝑛 ∙ ü2 eq. 9

This means the result for Smax must not be higher than 1000 VA.

DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J 23
Manual WIP1 Woodward

5.7.4 Dimensioning Example

For switching off a C.B. a tripping coil with a power of PN = 10 W and a rated current IN = 0.45 A is used.

As the rated current of the coil is a direct current, the setting value for the WIP1 for tripping with a single-
phase fault must be calculated as per eq. 1. This results in a setting value of 0.5 A.

According to diagram 1 the impedance of the WIP1 at 0.45 A is approx. 8 Ω.

The resistance of the coil can be calculated as follows if it cannot be determined by measuring:

𝑃𝑁 10𝑊
𝑅𝑆𝑝 = 2 = (0.45𝐴)2 = 49.4Ω
𝐼𝑆𝑝

For this example the cable impedance is assumed to be 0.5Ω.

According to eq. 4 the maximum impedance is as follows:

Zmax = 57.9Ω.

Now the maximum voltage Umax can be calculated with eq. 3.

𝑈𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 0.5𝐴 ∙ 57.9Ω = 28.95𝑉

If a current transformer class 10P10 is used the resulting overcurrent factor is ü = 10. This permits
calculation of the maximum power of transformer Smax in accordance with eq. 5.

𝑆𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 28.95𝑉 ∙ 10 ∙ 1𝐴 = 289.5𝑉𝐴

The rated impedance of the transformer is calculated in acc. with eq. 7.

289.5𝑉𝐴
𝑍𝑁 = = 2.9Ω
(10 ∙ 1𝐴)2

And finally, eq. 8 can be used to calculate the rated power of the transformer.

𝑆𝑁 = 2.9Ω ∙ (1𝐴)2 = 2.9𝑉𝐴

For this application a transformer with SN = 3 VA of Class 10P10 is used.

Equation 9 must now be used to check whether the WIP1 is possibly overloaded.

Smax = 3VA⋅102 = 300VA < 1000 VA.

This result shows that this current transformer can be used.

Figure 5.8: WIP1 - power consumption

The diagram above shows the limit value of the load to which the WIP1 may be subjected in case of a short
circuit. In the event that the transformer power nevertheless exceeds the limit value, it is possible to connect
resistors in series into the secondary circuit.

6.1 Function of Push Buttons

The push buttons are used for calling parameters, selecting the measuring quantities to be displayed and for
changing and saving of parameters.

The different menus can be selected by pressing push button <+> or <-> and then called up by the
<SELECT/RESET> push button. If this push button is pressed for longer than 3 s, the display is reset.

By push button <ENTER>, the set and displayed values are saved in the internal parameter memory.
Incidental or unauthorized changing of parameters is prevented by an obligatory password (see
chapter 6.1.4).

Push button <DISPLAY ON> is to activate fault indication or for setting modes. Should no push button be
pressed for 60 s, the relay deactivates the display.

By pressing push buttons <SELECT/RESET>, <+> and <-> simultaneously and then activation of the relay
by the <DISPLAY ON> push button, the default settings of the relay are recall from the parameter memory.

6.5.4 Reset Mode for Inverse Time Tripping Characteristics for Phase Overcurrent
Element

>>>Reset-Modus<<
t_=_300s________

To ensure tripping, even with recurring fault pulses (packing faults) shorter than the set trip delay, the reset
mode for inverse time tripping characteristics can be switched over. For adjustment t = 60 s or 300 s, the
tripping time is maintained accordingly and only reset after 60 s or 300 s faultless condition. This function is
off if t is set to 0. With breaking fault current, the trip delay is reset immediately and started again at recur-
ring fault current.

6.5.5 Minimal Time

This function is active with all inverse time tripping characteristics. It ensures that the trip delay is not faster
than the set value.

>>Minimal_time<<
>>tImin_=_0.1_s<

Note:
The minimum time cannot be set lower than the shortest trip delay of a tripping characteristic.
The latter depends on the multiplier of a tripping characteristic.
Example: selected characteristic x^4-time
Factor: 0.8 (see Figure 9.11)
The lowest adjustable minimum time then amounts to 0.16 s. This value is automatically increased if the
multiplier of the characteristic is increased.

By this operating input a fast trip can be initiated if a specific minimum current flows via the measuring C.T.s.
Adjustable are two kinds of fast tripping:

>>>FAST_TRIP<<<<

Here a trip occurs when the C.T. current in at least one phase is sufficient to supply the relay.

>>>Fast_Trip<<<<
After_Pickup____

Here a trip occurs when the current flowing is higher than the set threshold.

6.8.2 Blocking the Protection Functions

The blocking function of the WIP1 can be set acc. to requirement. By applying the aux. voltage to terminals
14 and 17 the functions chosen by the user are blocked.

Block._Function_
I>_No___________

For the “Yes” or “No” entry, push buttons <+> or <-> are to be used. This applies for the overcurrent element,
short circuit element, earth fault overcurrent and high set element.

6.9 Reset
There are four possibilities for resetting the WIP1 as well as the relay 1/latched.

The parameter setting mode under menu item Tripping type/ Relay configuration offers the parameter Reset.
Here once can choose whether the LED and the bistable relay 1 can be reset automatically or manually.

Manual Reset
If the display is on by pressing the <SELECT/RESET> push button for some time (about 3 s). Reset are: the
display, LED and the bistable relay 1.

Note: The manual reset function can be bounded in “battery mode” at temperatures below 0 °C. To avoid this
behavior please press the button “DISPLAY ON” at the same time

Automatic Reset
In case of automatic resetting the bistable relay 1 and the LED are reset if sufficient current is fed by the
current transformers.

WIP1-1:
The LED extinguishes and the bistable relay 1 is reset if sufficient current is available to put the WIP1-1 into
function, i. e. already below the 0.5 A limit for the CT-powered mode. (For operating modes, see 5.4.1.
Exact current values are given in Chapter 9.2 “Setting Ranges and Steps”.)

WIP1-2/WIP1-3:
The LED extinguishes and the bistable relay 1 is reset if the auxiliary power supply is switched on (dual-
powered) and the phase current is higher than 0,05 A (=5%⋅In). Without dual-power, the behavior is the
same as described for the WIP1-1.
Automatic resetting can only take place approx. 3 s (±1 s) after a tripping action. This does take possible
switch failure times into account.

DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J 39
Manual WIP1 Woodward

In addition, with automatic resetting it is not the fault memory that is displayed upon activation of the relay by
the transducer current, but the date and time.

External Reset
Applying voltage resets the signal relay and extinguishes the LED. (Voltage level: see “Signal inputs” in
Chapter 9.)
The Display reads:

>External_Reset<
>>>activated<<<<

The display is maintained as long as the voltage signal is applied.

Note: The voltage signal puts the battery under load. For this reason it should be kept as short as possible.

Software Reset (optional)

Resetting of a displayed message, of the LED and also of the output relay can be realized via RS485
interface. The effect of the Software Reset and the Manual Reset is the same.

If the WIP1 is used in a substation which is accessed rarely by a service

technician, it is recommended to use the following settings:
 Reset = Automatic
 Trip-LED = deactivated (see also 6.7.4)

6.10 Clearing the Fault Memory

Pressing push buttons <-> and <SELECT/RESET> (for approx. 3 s) at the same time results in clearing the
fault memory.

7. Relay Testing and Commissioning

The test instructions following below help to verify the protection relay performance before or during
commissioning of the protection system. To avoid a relay damage and to ensure a correct relay operation,
be sure that the following conditions are fulfilled:
 The rated current of the relay corresponds to the plant data on site.
 The current transformer circuits are connected to the relay correctly.
 All signal circuits and output relay circuits are connected correctly.

7.1 Checking the Set Values

Pressing the <DISPLAY ON> push button activates the display. By repeatedly pressing the push button
<SELECT/RESET>, all relay set values may be checked. Set value modification can be done with the push
button <+><-> and <ENTER>.
For a correct relay operation, be sure that the frequency set value (f=50/60) has been selected according to
your system frequency (50 or 60 Hz).

7.2.2 Example of Test Circuit

For testing WIP1 only current input signals are required. Figure 7.1 shows a simple example of a single
phase test circuit with adjustable current energizing the WIP1 relay under test.

7.2.3 Checking the Tripping Circuits

Parameter <SIGNAL INPUT BLOCKING> is followed by

>>>>>RELAY-<<<<<
>>>>>TEST<<<<<<<

This mode can only be entered in battery operation, i.e. when there is no current flowing.
By pressing push button <SELECT/RESET> the test mode is entered and the password queried.

>>>Relay_Test<<<
_Password:_xxxx_

Pre-condition for entering the relay test mode is that the test current has been applied within 30 s. If the time
has elapsed, the program returns to the standard mode and the display shows:

>>>PROTECTION<<<
>>>>SETTINGS<<<<

After entering the correct password, the trip mode starts upon the following inputs.

>>TEST_CURRENT<<
>>SET_TO_>1Amp<<

When 1 A is reached, test of the relay begins. The protection function is blocked through the test procedure
because exceeding of the set threshold would result in tripping. The display shows:

>>>Relay_Test<<<
>>>is_running<<<

In the following the test procedure is described in de-tail.

Test: Electro pulse output

Test: Alarm relay
Test: Flag indicators

These outputs are controlled for 150 ms and since they are controlled by a common processor signal, they
can only be tested together. The alarm relay remains energized.

TRIP-LED is blinking.

The display shows:

>>>>>>PRESS<<<<<
>SELECT-BUTTON<<

After this push button has been pressed, the alarm relay and self-test relay are de-energized and the LED
should extinguish.

>>Test_current<<
>>>switch-off<<<

The WIP1 indicates disconnection of the test current by the following message:

>>>>>RELAY-<<<<<
>>>>>>TEST<<<<<<

Should the test current be so low that the coil fails to trip, the test will be stopped.

7.2.4 Checking the Input Circuits and Measured Values

Inject a current, which is less than the relay pickup cur-rent set values, in phase 1 (terminals 1S1-1S2), and
check the measured current on the display by pressing the push button <SELECT/RESET>. The current can
be also injected into the other current input circuits (Phase 2: terminals 2S1-2S2, Phase 3: terminals
3S1-3S2. Compare the displayed current value with the reading of the ammeter. The deviation must not
exceed 5% In. By using an RMS-metering instrument, a greater deviation may be observed if the test current
contains harmonics. Because the WIP1 relay measures only the fundamental component of the input
signals, the harmonics will be rejected by the internal DFT-digital filter. Whereas the RMS-metering
instrument measures the RMS-value of the input signals.

7.2.5 Checking the Overcurrent Element

To check the relay operating time, a timer must be connected to the trip output relay contact. The timer
should be started simultaneously with the current injection in the current input circuit and stopped by the trip
relay contact. Set the current to a value corresponding to twice the operating value and inject the current
instantaneously. The operating time measured by the timer should have a deviation of less than 3% of the
set value or ±10 ms (DEFT). Accuracy for inverse time characteristics refer to IEC 255-3.
Repeat the test on the other phases or with the inverse time characteristics in the similar manner.
In case of inverse time characteristics the injected cur-rent should be selected according to the characteristic
curve, e.g. two times IS. The tripping time may be red from the characteristic curve diagram or calculated
with the equations given in chapter “Technical Data”.
Please observe that during the secondary injection test the test current must be very stable, not deviating
more than 1%. Otherwise the test results may be wrong.

7.2.6 Checking the High Set Element of the Relay

The high set element of the WIP1 is checked in the same manner. It is important, however, that the selected
test current is not too high because of trip delay at inverse time characteristics may become shorter than the
high set setting. The reason is that both tripping signals operate the same tripping relay or the same electric
impulse output.

Note: Where test currents >2.5 x IN are used, the thermal withstand
capability of the current paths has to be considered (see Technical Data).

DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J 45
Manual WIP1 Woodward

7.2.7 Checking the External Blocking

The external blocking input inhibits e. g. the function of the high set element of the phase current.

For this purpose the parameter “Blocking Function” in the menu “Signal input blocking” for the high set
element must be set to “Yes”. Then the terminals 14 and 17 are supplied with auxiliary voltage
(e.g. 110 V DC).

The time delay tI> should be set to EXIT for this test. Inject a test current which could cause a high set (I>>)
tripping. Observe that there is no trip and alarm for the high set element.

Remove the auxiliary supply voltage from the blocking input. Inject a test current to trip the relay (message
“TRIP” on the display). Interrupt the test current.

7.2.8 Checking the Input “Fast Trip”

The “Fast trip” function allows the unit to be tripped within the shortest possible time. A prerequisite for
correct tripping is the correct setting of the parameters. In the menu “Signal input – fast trip” the setting
should be “instantaneously”. If a current is now injected which is greater than the lowest adjustable
overcurrent threshold and an auxiliary voltage (110 V DC) is supplied to the terminals 32 and 33, tripping
takes place instantaneously (tl> = 50 ms ±10 ms).

7.2.9 Remote Trip

Checking the input “Remote trip” does not require any test current. The terminals 20 and 22 are provided
with supply voltage (230 V AC ±20%). This leads to tripping within 200 ms.

These terminals may only be supplied with voltage for a maximum of 2 min.

7.2.10 Test of Input „External Reset“

For testing this function, voltage is to be applied to terminals 14 and 15. The relay is activated now by it-self
and in the display appears „External reset activated“.

7.3 Primary Injection Test

Generally, a primary injection test could be carried out in the similar manner as the secondary injection test
described above. Since the cost and potential hazards are very high for such a test, primary injection tests
are usually limited to very important protective relays in the power system.

Because of its powerful combined indicating and measuring functions, the WIP1 relay may be tested in the
manner of a primary injection test without extra expenditure and time consumption.
In actual service, for example, the measured current values on the WIP1 relay display may be compared
phase by phase with the current indications of the ammeter of the switchboard to verify that the relay works
and measures correctly.

7.4 Benefits from Using the Display Battery

The display battery does not affect the protection functions in any way. However, the following benefits are
directly related to the battery:

 Possibility to make settings or read information from the display even without sufficient supply from
the C.T.s
 Some information is stored as buffered (i. e. non-volatile) data in the relay’s internal memory, in
particular:
o System time
o Elapsed energizing time for detecting intermediate faults. (60s/300s).
o Fault information
o Checksums for enhanced self-tests to detect potential hardware faults

When the relay is switched on, the following information can be displayed by means of the CT current or by
pressing the key <Display On>.

Display of time and date begins with induction of the CT current.

ISEG____00.00.00
WIP1____00:00:00

The figure indicating the year might perhaps show undefined values.

In cases the error memory fails and the energizing time has perhaps elapsed, the following text is displayed:

>>Loss_of_Data<<
>>Press_Reset<<<

The information will be indicated until the key <SELECT/RESET> has been pressed for 3 s; thereafter the
following is displayed:

>>Faultmemory<<<
>>>>cleared<<<<<

If during this process the CT current exceeds a value of 0.5 A in one phase, the self-supervising relay
energizes for 1 s.

In rare cases, if data cannot be read due to an internal fault, the following is displayed:

>Internal_Fault<
>>Press_Reset<<<

If during this process the CT current exceeds a value of 0.5A in one phase, the self-supervising relay
energizes for 1s.

Normally this error message can be reset, which means that it was only a one-off incident.

DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J 47

8. Maintenance
Maintenance testing is generally done on site at regular intervals. These intervals vary among users
depending on many factors: e.g. the type of protective relays employed; the importance of the primary
equipment being protected; the user's past experience with the re-lay, etc.

For electromechanical or static relays, maintenance testing will be performed at least once a year according
to the experiences. For digital relays like WIP1, this interval can be substantially longer because of the
following reasons:

 The WIP1 relays are equipped with very wide self-supervision functions, so that many faults in the
relay can be detected and signalized during service. Important: The self-supervision output relay
must be connected to a central alarm panel!
 The combined measuring functions of WIP1 relays enable supervision the relay functions during
service.

A testing interval of two years for maintenance will, therefore, be recommended.

During a maintenance test, the relay functions including the operating values and relay tripping
characteristics as well as the operating times should be tested.

Note that the relay is 100% operative without the battery.

The purpose of the battery is restricted to the following:
 It is possible to do settings and/or having values displayed while
being “offline”, i. e. without the CTs being connected.
 Fault values and system time are kept in a battery-buffered memory.

8.2 Display Battery

The relay is buffered by a battery for feeding the LC display as well as for memorizing fault values and reset
of the trip relay. Failure of the battery has no effect on the protective functions of the relay. The battery has a
service life of several years. The battery has a service life of more than 10 years (depending on usage).

8.2.1 Checking the Battery

The battery test is carried out by pressing the key <DISPLAY ON>. If the display indicates "Protection
parameter", the battery is ok and the following is displayed:

>>>PROTECTION<<<
>>>>SETTINGS<<<<

Note:
Relays which have been out of order for more than one month might show "Battery voltage too low" on the
display when the key <DISPLAY ON> is first pressed. The reasons for this are that, on the one hand, the
capacitors are completely discharged and, on the other hand, the long storage time of the battery.
To test for this case do the following: Wait until the power supply has switched off, then press the
<DISPLAY ON> key again. If "Battery voltage too low" is not indicated again, then the battery is o.k. and the
message had been displayed due to the long storage time.

8.2.2 Changing the Battery

If at pressing the <DISPLAY ON> key the battery test finds that it should be replaced (battery voltage less
than 3 V), the following is displayed:

BATTERY_Voltage_
___too_low______

The battery is housed underneath the front cover of the relay at the lower right corner and is fastened by
plug terminals.

Hazardous Voltage

The battery contacts behind the front cover may cause electric shock. Take
care that the battery change is done in an ESD-compliant manner!
In particular, the following activities are essential:

 Disconnect from all power (supply) sources

 Secure against reconnection
 Verify if the equipment is dead
 Connect to ground and short-circuit all phases
 Cover or safeguard all live adjacent parts

DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J 49
Manual WIP1 Woodward

1. Do not start any maintenance work unless before the entire equipment is dead according to the
WARNING/safety instructions above.

2. Open the Front Cover with a fully isolated screw driver.

Do not use force!

3. Carefully remove the battery by means of a fully isolated screw driver out of the plug terminals. Replace
the battery. Ensure the correct polarity.

Waste Disposal

This protective device contains a battery, and therefore it is labeled with the
following symbol according to the EU Directive 2006/66/EC:

Batteries can be harmful to the environment. Damaged or unusable

batteries must be disposed of in a container that is specially reserved for
this purpose.

In general, appropriate local guidelines and regulations must be followed

9.2 Setting Ranges and Steps

The WIP1 is operative with limited functionality (display of values and automatic reset) at the following
current values:

 single-phase starting approx. 0.35 A

 two-phase starting approx. 0.22 A
 three-phase starting approx. 0.17 A

However, there is full functionality if the current flowing in at least one of the phases is higher than 0.5 A.
(For a detailed description of how the functionality depends on the phase current see Chapter 5.4.)

General information related to tripping times:

If a C.T. current >0.5 A was present before tripping, or if there is an external
aux. power supply (WIP1-2, WIP1-3), then the trip delay decreases (by
approx. 20 ms).
Annotation to WIP1-1: The earth fault current element is only activated if
the current flowing in at least one of the phases is higher than the lowest
adjustable threshold of the phase overcurrent element (0,5 A).

9.4 Relay Case

Relay WIP1 is designed to be fastened onto a DIN-rail acc. to DIN EN 50022.
The front plate of the relay is protected with a sealable transparent cover (IP40).

Figure 9.14: Dimensions WIP1 in mm

Connection terminals
The connection of up to a maximum of 2 x 2.5 mm 2 cross-section conductors is possible. For this the
transparent cover of the unit has to be removed (see chapter 4).

10. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

We will have to store the WIP1 for some time before In principle, there is no problem with this.
first use. Is this possible? However, sustained exposure to dust or humidity
during storage may cause damage and reduce the
lifetime of the relay. Therefore we recommend to
keep the relay in its original package and keep it
stored in a location free of dust and high humidity.
Later, when the relay is being installed, sufficient
time should be allowed before energization for
acclimatization to the ambient temperature.
Moreover, note the possibility of a false battery
warning with the first energization after a long
storage time, see 8.2.1.
We have to change the display battery. What Take care that the battery change is done in an
should be take care of? ESD-compliant manner!
Take care that the relay is disconnected from all
power sources, secure it against reconnection and
verify that the equipment is dead. Connect the relay
to ground and short-circuit all phases.
As batteries can be harmful to the environment, the
old battery must be disposed of in a way that follows
the local regulations. For example for EU member
countries, the EU Directive 2006/66/EC is
applicable.
For details, including a description of how to change
the battery, please consult Chapter 8.2.2 “Changing

by the display battery.) The display directly makes

What is the minimum current that the relay needs to Without dual-power, the relay is fully operational
be operative? (i. e. including a permanent display of measurement
values) at a minimum phase current of 0.5 A, which
is also the smallest possible setting for the tripping
threshold.
For WIP1-2 and WIP1-3, there is a dual power
option offering several benefits, see Chapter 5.4.3
for details.
What is the minimum current that the relay needs for Without dual-power, the minimum current

(0.5 A). With dual-power, the smallest setting for the

section “Accuracy”.

Why do we get no message on the display after a Since tripping means for a CT-powered relay that
trip has occurred? the power supply has dropped away the display is
switched off. However, the tripping continues to be
indicated via blinking of the Trip LED. (This blinking
is fed from the display battery.)
Does this mean that we cannot access the fault After pressing the <DISPLAY ON> button, the

battery). After a trip has occurred, the relay directly
enters the Fault Memory menu, see Figure 6.1.

that are visited only rarely by any service technicians
we recommend indeed to set the relay to “automatic
reset” and/or disable the LED blinking, see
Chapters 6.7.4 and 6.9.
Is there any self-diagnostic built in? Yes, the relay features an internal self-supervision,
see e. g. Chapters 4.1, 5.2.
How can we test the operation of the relay? Please consult Chapter 7 “Relay Testing and
Commissioning”.
