Manual Organization Reading a lengthy instruction manual on a new product is not a task most people
enjoy. To speed things up, this introductory chapter provides guidelines for basic
relay usability. Important wiring considerations and precautions discussed in
Electrical Installation on page 3–6 should be observed for reliable operation.
Detailed information regarding accuracy, output relay contact ratings, and so forth
are detailed in Specifications on page 2–5. The remainder of this manual should be
read and kept for reference to ensure maximum benefit from the 745 Transformer
Management Relay. For further information, please consult your local sales
representative or the factory. Comments about new features or modifications for
your specific requirements are welcome and encouraged.
Setpoints and actual values are indicated as follows in the manual:

Changing Setpoints
Introduction There are several different classes of setpoints, distinguished by the way their
values are displayed and edited. This section describes how to edit the values used
by all setpoint classes.
Hardware and passcode security features are designed to provide protection against
unauthorized setpoint changes. Since we will be programming new setpoints using
the front panel keys, a hardware jumper must be installed across the setpoint
access terminals (C1 and C2) on the back of the relay case. A keyswitch may also be
used across these terminals to enable setpoint access. Attempts to enter a new
setpoint via the front panel without this connection will be unsuccessful.
Using the HELP Key Each numerical setpoint has its own minimum, maximum, and increment value
associated with it. These parameters define what values are acceptable for a
setpoint.
1. Select the S2 SYSTEM SETUP !" VOLTAGE INPUT !" NOMINAL VT SECONDARY VOLT-
AGE setpoint.
2. Press HELP. The following context sensitive flash message will appear for several
seconds. For the case of a numerical setpoint message, the HELP key displays the
minimum, maximum, and step value.
Numerical Setpoints The following two methods of editing and storing a numerical setpoint value are
available.
1. 0to 9and the decimal key:The relay numeric keypad works the same as that
of any electronic calculator. A number is entered one digit at a time. The left-
most digit is entered first and the right-most digit is entered last. Pressing the
ESCAPE key, before the ENTER key, returns the original value to the display.
2. VA L U E &and VA L U E %: The VA L U E &key increments the displayed value, by the
step value, up to the maximum value allowed. While at the maximum, pressing
the VA L U E &key again will allow setpoint selection to continue from the minimum
value. The VA L U E %key decrements the displayed value, by the step value, down
to the minimum value. Again, continuing to press the VA L U E %key while at the
minimum value will continue setpoint selection from the maximum value.
As an example, let’s set the nominal VT secondary voltage setpoint to 69.3 V. Press
the appropriate numeric keys in the sequence ‘6 9 . 3‘. The display message will
change as the digits are being entered.
Editing changes are not registered until the ENTER key is pressed. Press the ENTER key
to store the new value in memory. This flash message momentarily appears to
confirmation the storing process. If 69.28 were entered, the value is automatically
rounded to 69.3, since the step value for this setpoint is 0.1.
Enumeration Setpoints Enumeration setpoints have data values which are part of a set, whose members
are explicitly defined by a name. A set is comprised of two or more members.
NOMINAL VT SECONDARY
VOLTAGE: 120.0 V
Range: 60.0
to 120.0 by 0.1

VOLTAGE: 69.3 V

Enumeration type values are changed using the VA L U E keys. The VA L U E &key displays
the next selection while the VA L U E %key displays the previous selection. As an
example we may need to set the phase sequence to ACB. Press VA L U E &or VA L U E %
until the proper selection is displayed.
Editing changes are not registered until ENTER is pressed, storing the new value in
memory. This flash message momentarily appears to confirm the storing process.
Text Setpoints Text setpoints have data values which are fixed in length, but user defined in
character. They may be comprised of upper case letters, lower case letters,
numerals, and a selection of special characters.
The editing and storing of a text value is accomplished with the use of the decimal,
ENTER, VA L U E , and ESCAPE keys. For example:
1. The name for Output Relay 3 should be more descriptive than the default value.
For this example let us rename output relay as INST DIFF TRIP. Press the decimal
key and an underscore (_) will appear at the first character position.
2. Press VA L U E keys until the character “I” is displayed in the first position, then
press the decimal key to store the character and advance the cursor. Change
the second character to a “N” using the VA L U E keys and save this change by
pressing the decimal key again. Continue editing all the characters in the text
until the string INST DIFF TRIP is entered. Note that a space is selected like a char-
acter. If a character is entered incorrectly, press the decimal key repeatedly
until the cursor returns to the position of the error and re-enter the character as
required. Once complete, press ENTER to remove the solid cursor and save the
result.

Security
Installation Note that the relay is defaulted to the Setpoints Not Programmed state before it
leaves the factory. This safeguards against the installation of a relay whose
setpoints have not been entered. In addition, a relay in the Not Programmed state
blocks signaling of any output relay, and turns off the In Service LED indicator.
Move to the S1 745 SETUP !" INSTALLATION !" 745 SETPOINTS message. To put the
relay in the Programmed state, press the VA L U E &or VA L U E %key once and press
ENTER. Enter Yes for the ARE YOU SURE? message. The In Service LED indicator will
now turn on.
Changing the Passcode To guarantee that the relay settings cannot be tampered with, the user may setup
the passcode security feature.
1. Move to the S1 745 SETUP !PASSCODE !SETPOINT ACCESS message. This message
cannot be edited directly. It simply indicates whether passcode security is
enabled (SETPOINT ACCESS: “Read Only”), or passcode security is disabled (SET-
POINT ACCESS: “Read & Write”). Each relay is shipped from the factory with set-
point access allowed. The passcode is also defaulted to '0', which disables the
passcode security feature entirely.
2. Press the MESSAGE %key once.
3. Press the VA L U E &or VA L U E %key once.
4. Press the ENTER key to begin the procedure of changing the passcode. The dis-
played message will change as shown. The current passcode is '0', so press the
'0' numeric key. The relay will acknowledge the key press by displaying ‘*’.
5. Press the ENTER key.
6. For this example, change the passcode to “123” by pressing the appropriate
numeric keys in the 1 2 3 sequence. The message will change as the digits are
entered, with the end result being as shown.
7. Press the ENTER key to store the new passcode and a confirmation message
appears. As a safety measure, the relay requires you to enter a new passcode
twice. This ensures the passcode has been entered correctly.

8. After pressing the appropriate numeric keys in the sequence ‘1 2 3‘, press ENTER.
This flash message appears momentarily on the display and confirms the new
passcode is stored in memory.
9. After a few seconds, the original display returns.
10. Press the MESSAGE &key. As soon as a non-zero passcode is entered, setpoint
access will automatically become restricted.
Disabling and Enabling
Passcode Security
Suppose at some time in the future you want to alter a setpoint. In order to do this,
you must first disable passcode security, make the setpoint change, and then re-
enable the passcode security.
1. Move to message S1 745 SETUP !PASSCODE !" ALLOW ACCESS TO SETPOINTS. It is
from here that we will disable passcode security. Please note that this message
is hidden, when the passcode security feature is disabled by entering a pass-
code of “0”.
2. Press the VA L U E &or VA L U E %key once to select Yes and press ENTER. The dis-
played message will change as shown.
3. Enter the current passcode and press the ENTER key. This flash message indi-
cates that the keyed in value was accepted and that passcode security is now
disabled.
4. This message will appear after a few seconds. Now that setpoint access is
enabled, the ALLOW ACCESS TO SETPOINTS message has been replaced by the
RESTRICT ACCESS TO SETPOINTS message. The relay’s setpoints can now be altered
and stored. If no front panel keys are pressed for longer than 30 minutes, set-
point access will automatically become restricted again.
5. To disable setpoint access, immediately after setpoint editing, move back to
message S1 745 SETUP !PASSCODE !" RESTRICT ACCESS TO SETPOINTS and enter
“Yes”. Key the current passcode into the shown message.
6. Press the ENTER key and this message will flash on the display. It indicates that
passcode security is now enabled.
7. After a few seconds, the original display returns.

Introduction
Description These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment nor
provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with installation,
operation, or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should
particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s
purpose, the matter should be referred to the General Electric company.
To the extent required the products described herein meet applicable ANSI, IEEE,
and NEMA standards; but no such assurance is given with respect to local codes and
ordinances because they vary greatly.
The 745 Transformer Management Relay™ is a high speed, multi-processor based,
three-phase, two or three winding, transformer management relay intended for the
primary protection and management of small, medium and large power
transformers. The 745 combines Percent Differential, Overcurrent, Frequency, and
Overexcitation protection elements along with monitoring of individual harmonics,
and THD in one economical package.
The relay provides a variety of adaptive relaying features:
• Adaptive Harmonic Restraint which addresses the problem of false tripping
during inrush
• Adaptive Time Overcurrent elements which will adjust their pickup settings
based on the calculated transformer capability when supplying load currents
with high harmonic content
• Multiple Setpoint Groups which allow the user to enter and dynamically select
from up to four groups of relay settings to address the protection requirements
of different power system configurations
• Dynamic CT Ratio Mismatch Correction which monitors the on-load tap position
and automatically corrects for CT ratio mismatch
• FlexLogic™ which allows PLC style equations based on logic inputs and
protection elements to be assigned to any of the 745 outputs.
The 745 also includes a powerful testing and simulation feature. This allows the
protection engineer the ability to test the relay operation based on captured or
computer generated waveform data which can be converted to a digitized format
and downloaded into the 745’s simulation buffer for “playback”. A Waveform
Capture function that records waveform data for fault, inrush, or alarm conditions is
also provided.
The Auto-Configuration function eliminates the need for any special CT connections
by having all CTs connected in wye.
