E1-Line is a dedicated transmission overhead line and cable protection, control and automation IED. The relay provides complex protection, control and monitoring functions. It is member of the DTVA product type in the EuroProt+ product family. The EuroProt+ family complex protection - in respect of hardware and software - is a modular device. Because of the modular architecture, the modules are assembled and configured according to the user’s requirements; from that point on, the software determines the functions.
The DTVA product type is configured to protect, control and supervise the elements of the transmission network, where systems are typically solidly grounded throughout the world. In these networks single phase-to-ground faults result high current, similar to line-to-line faults; therefore, both types of fault need fast protection functions.
The relay can be used for single- or three-phase tripping and it supports double breaker terminals such as breaker and a half or ring bus topology.
The main protection functions of the DTVA type include high-speed distance protection with five independent protection zones and line differential protection. The relays support the general teleprotection schemes (POTT, PUTT etc.).
Additionally the DTVA product type includes a variety of versatile protection functions: directional and non-directional overcurrent protection, voltage-based protection and frequency-based protection.
The HV automatic reclosing function provides multi-shot autoreclosing with a synchro-check feature. The dead times can be set individually for each reclosing and separately for single-phase faults and multi-phase faults.
Because of the implemented control, measuring and monitoring function, the IED can also be used as a bay control unit.
The EuroCAP configuration tool, which is available free of charge, offers a user-friendly and flexible application for protection, control and measurement functions to ensure that the IED-EP+ devices are fully customisable .

The E1-Line device is a dedicated transmission overhead line and cable distance protection and control IED; the relay offers complex protection, control and monitoring functions.
The E1-Line relay includes a variety of versatile protection functions such as directionality extension of the configured phase and residual overcurrent functions as well as directional over- or underpower functions.
Furthermore, the relay offers binary signal transmission or a teleprotection scheme with the remote-end IED via several types of communication channels.
The distance protection function can generate three-phase or single-phase trip commands, depending on the fault types and the requirements. The range of functions is supplemented with the automatic reclosing function, synchrocheck, power swing detection and switch-onto-fault logic. Based on the voltage measurement, the frequency is also evaluated to realize frequency-based protection functions.
The IED includes a wide range of control and supervisory functions, which provide full control and user-defined interlocking schemes for the primary switchgear at the substation.
The relay can be used as a back-up protection unit or as a decentralized busbar protection sub-unit.
scope of application
- The main application is transmission overhead line and underground cable protection (including series-compensated lines)
- Five independent distance protection zones with polygon-shaped or MHO characteristics
- Load encroachment characteristics
- The complex earth-fault compensation factor is applied for the correct impedance measurement of single-phase-to-earth faults
- Non-directional impedance protection function or high-speed OC protection function for switch-onto-fault conditions
- Power swing detection function can block the distance protection function in case of stable swings, or it can generate a trip command if the system operates out of step
- Analogue input processing is applied to the zero sequence current of the parallel line
- 1-/3-phase tripping and support for double breaker terminals such as breaker and a half or ring bus topologies
- Binary signal transmission
- Numerous transfer tripping schemes available (PUTT, POTT, DUTT, Directional Compensation or Blocking, etc.)
- Current reversal and weak end infeed logic
- Autoreclosing up to four shots of reclosing; dead times can be set individually for each reclosing sequence and separately for single-phase faults and for multi-phase faults
- Full-scheme faulty phase identification by minimum impedance detection
- VT supervision and dead line detection
- Current unbalance detection of CT
- Switchgear automation and control with synchro-check/synchro-switch capability
- Programmable interlocking schemes
- Back-up protection for transformers, lines, generators, motors, busbars
- Optional decentralized busbar protection sub-unit application
The main protection function in this application is the distance protection function. It can generate three-phase or single-phase trip commands, depending on the fault types and the requirements. The list of functions is supplemented with the automatic reclosing function with synchro check/synchro switch feature, power swing detection and switch-onto-fault logic.
The E1-line configuration measures three phase currents, the zero sequence current component of the parallel line and, three phase voltages and the busbar voltage. These measurements allow, in addition to the current- and voltage-based functions, directionality extension of the configured phase and residual overcurrent functions and also directional overpower or underpower functions.
Based on the voltage measurement, the frequency is also evaluated to facilitate frequency-based protection functions.
