VAMP 11V
Voltage and Frequency Protection Relays
VAMP 11 series is one of the latest additions to the Vamp range, which
has always been strongly linked to flexible and easy-to-use protection
relays. VAMP 11 series inherits and will eventually take over the well known
MiCOM Px11 series. With attention to simplicity and cost effectiveness, the
new VAMP 11 series becomes the reference for the most efficient devices
for standard protection applications.
Ease of use
User-friendliness has always been a feature of VAMP products, and the VAMP 11V is no
exception. A great deal of effort and experience has gone into the design of operational
aspects of the product.

Synchronisation
VAMP 11V incorporates an internal clock with 1ms accuracy for the time-
tagging of alarms, events, faults and disturbance records. To maintain
accuracy of time-tags, it is necessary to periodically synchronise the internal
clock, by one of three ways:
> Substation control system via rear communication port (RS 485)
> External clock triggering a dedicated digital input
> Setting software (USB port)
The internal clock will retain a backup power supply for up to 3 days in the
event of an auxiliary voltage disconnection.
VAMP 11V voltage and frequency protection relay is supported by the free-
of-charge setting software MiCOM S1 Studio (version 5.1.0 or higher).
MiCOM S1 Studio is a user friendly tool that allows parameter setting
and configuration of the Vamp 11V relay. Thanks to this tool, all relay
parameters, configurations and recorded data can be exchanged between
PC and the relay.
The disturbance records available in Vamp 11V (Model A) are stored in
COMTRADE format in non-volatile FRAM memory. An integrated part of the
software tool, WaveWin offers full analysis of recorded files.

Application
VAMP 11V relays provide fast and accurate protection for various applications requiring
voltage or voltage and frequency protection. With a focus on tailoring to user's needs, Vamp
11V is offered in 3 hardware model variants.

Model L
Non-communicating, basic under or over voltage protection with derived voltage displacement, fault recording and two
setting groups. With only 3 relay output contacts, this model provides the most economical solution for basic voltage
protection. A perfect choice for retrofit of older technology devices in medium or low voltage substations.
Model N
Communicating device with basic under or over voltage protection with dedicated earth-fault analog voltage input, negative
sequence over voltage protection, event and fault recording, blocking logic and two setting groups. It comprises 2 binary
inputs, 6 relay outputs, a front USB and rear RS485 communication port with switchable IEC 60870-5-103 or Modbus
protocol. Circuit breaker control is effected via front panel keys or remote communication port. This model is cost-optimised
for essential protection functions that require serial communication. Perfectly suited to industrial or commercial sites and
a good choice for MV/MV or MV/LV substation auxiliary under or over voltage protection or as primary protection for LV
substations.
Model A
Communicating device with advanced under or over voltage and under or over frequency protection. It additionally provides
positive sequence under voltage protection, event, fault and disturbance recording, CB supervision and VT supervision.
It comprises 6 binary inputs, 7 relay outputs, a front USB and rear RS485 communication port. Circuit breaker control
is effected via front panel keys, remote communication port or via binary inputs. This model is a complete voltage and
frequency protection device housed in uniquely small case. The large number of inputs and outputs allows users to create
more advanced schemes for medium and low voltage applications. This model provides the most cost-effective solution for
load shedding or restoration and a good choice for retrofit of over or under frequency electromechanical protection relays.

Protection VAMP 11V
• All models can be ordered with one of two voltage input ranges:
57V to 130V
220V to 480V
Using higher voltage input ranges allows users to install Vamp 11V directly to the line, without the use of
voltage transformers, further optimising costs.
• Integrated with three independent phase over voltage and phase under voltage thresholds, VAMP
11V provides efficient voltage protection for all typical applications like motor protection or generator protection. The
configurable detection logic (AND, OR) allows the indication of voltage absence when under voltage protection is used.
• Models N and A include negative sequence over voltage, designed to detect unbalanced conditions.
This destines these relays to protect motors when imbalance would lead to overheating and fault conditions.
• Model A incorporates 6 frequency thresholds, programmable as under or over frequency which can be
used for automated load shedding or load restoration.

Measurements
The VAMP 11 series offers a complete set of
measurement functions to replace the conventional
metering functions of switchgear and controlgear
installations.
The measurement functions cover phase and residual voltages, system
frequency and harmonics from phase voltages. Condition monitoring
continuously monitors trip circuits, breaker wear and voltage transformers.
All measurements are available locally or remotely. Depending on the
configuration of the VTs connected and chosen model, VAMP 11V provides
full measurements and displays them as true RMS values on the screen:
Event records
200 event records can be stored in the VAMP 11V. Events include input or
output state changes, alarms and contact operations. When the memory is
full, the oldest events are overwritten, allowing storage capacity for the most
recent events.
The downloading of events records can be done via front USB port (MiCOM
S1 Studio) or the rear RS485 port (SCADA system).
Fault records
The last 20 faults and 5 alarms records are stored in memory. Each fault
includes: record number, fault time, active setting group, faulted phase,
protection operation, and magnitude of inputs.
Fault indication helps the user to clearly identify the fault. Moreover,
availability of fault data on the relay HMI or communication ports allows
fine-tuning of relay settings and protection operation.
Disturbance records
Up to 5 disturbance files can be stored in the relay (model A). While the
total length of records is limited to 4 sec, each record length can be easily
set independently. The user may set 1 record with 4 sec duration or 5
records with a total 4 sec duration. The pre-fault and post-fault duration
is adjustable for each file. The records are stored in COMTRADE format.
The disturbance recording function is triggered by any of the programmed
thresholds or by an external input or through the communications.
All digital and analog information is stored in non-volatile memory and can
be transferred using the front or rear communication ports, for later use by
an external data analyser.
