Ground fault protection, zone selective interlocking protection


(ZSIP), remote monitoring and arc flash mitigation are all in one
relay, the I-Gard Sentri.

SENTRI
The Sentri provides a total solution and coordination with 40 trip
levels from 100 mA up to 1200 A. This versatile relay can be used
in both solidly grounded and resistance grounded systems.
Too often, systems are protected with just one relay on the main
service breaker, which leads to power interruption of the entire
service. Consequently, in an effort to minimize disruptions, the
protection on the main breaker is often set to maximum pickup
and delay settings, or worse, disconnected entirely. This can lead
to substantial equipment damage, due to increased clearing time.
Minimizing damage, downtime and maintaining service, I-Gard
provides the Sentri relay with integral zone selective instantaneous
protection to protect systems, at LV and MV system levels, with
optimized coordination. Maximum protection with minimum service
disruption.

unparalleled protection
In addition to ground fault, the Sentri
relay provides three optical sensor
inputs. Optical inputs monitor for arc
flash upon which the relay trips with
under 1ms. Three separate trip relays
correspond to the three flash sensor
inputs. These three relays are a
combination of solid state technology
which can achieve trip speeds of less
than 1ms as well as dry contact relays
used as a backup.

ZSIP Zone Selective Instantaneous Protection
The Sentri can be used to monitor
leakage current and provide
indication when that current
exceeds a pre-set level.
The relay can also be connected
to an mGARD-SYM remote
indicator (with Modbus
connectivity) for remote indication,
test, reset, and setup.
Where continuity of service is
essential, selective ground fault
protection should be used. A
selective ground fault protection
system is one in which each
disconnecting means is equipped
with a ground fault relay so that
only the one nearest the ground
fault will be tripped. Selective
ground fault protection systems Figure #1: Three level ZSIP
may be either time coordinated
protection (TCP), zone selective
instantaneous protection (ZSIP) or
a combination of both.

Zone Selective Instantaneous


Protection (ZSIP) achieves
the objective of instantaneous
response to ground faults.
Since it is fully coordinated, it
minimizes damage and maximizes
protection. If there is a ground fault
on a circuit protected by a ZSIP
relay and the magnitude of the
fault current exceeds the pick-up
setting, the relay for that zone will
trip instantaneously. Selectivity
between zones is achieved by
a signal generated by the first
ground fault relay upstream of the
fault, which operates immediately.
This signal is sent to all relays
further upstream and restrains
them from tripping instantaneously.
The result is maximum protection
with minimum service disruption.
