Current and voltage sensors or detectors, to be used for fault passage indication purposes - Part 1: General principles and requirements
IEC 62689-1:2016 defines the minimum requirements (therefore performances) and consequent classification and tests (with the exception of functional and communication ones) for fault passage indicators (FPIs) and distribution substation units (DSUs) (including their current and/or voltage sensors), which are, respectively, a device or a device/combination of devices and/or functions able to detect faults and provide indications about their localization.
Capteurs ou détecteurs de courant et de tension, à utiliser pour indiquer le passage d'un courant de défaut - Partie 1: Exigences et principes généraux
L'IEC 62689-1:2016 définit les exigences (et donc les performances) minimales, ainsi que les classifications des essais qui en découlent (à l'exception des essais fonctionnels et de communications) pour les indicateurs de passage de courant de défaut (FPI) et les unités de poste de distribution (DSU) (y compris pour leurs capteurs de courant et/ou de tension) qui sont respectivement matérialisés par un dispositif ou un dispositif/une combinaison de dispositifs et/ou de fonctions pouvant détecter des défauts et les localiser.

INTRODUCTION
0.1 General
The IEC 62689 series is a product family standard for current and voltage sensors or
detectors, to be used for fault passage indication purposes by suitable devices or functions,
indicated as fault passage indicator (FPI) or distribution substation unit (DSU), depending on
their performances.
Different names are used to indicate FPIs depending on the region of the world and on their
functionalities concerning capability to detect different kinds of faults, for instance:
• fault detector;
• smart sensor;
• faulted circuit indicator (FCI);
• short circuit indicator (SCI);
• earth fault indicator (EFI);
• test point mounted FCI.
• combination of the above.
Simpler versions, using only local information/signals and/or local communication, are called
FPI, while very evolved versions are called DSU. The latter are explicitly designed for smart
grids and based on IEC 60870-5 and IEC 61850 communication protocols. Compared to
instrument transformers, digital communication technology is subject to on-going changes
which are expected to continue in the future.
Profound experience with deep integration between electronics and instrument transformers
has yet to be gathered on a broader basis, as this type of equipment is not yet widespread in
the industry.
DSUs, besides FPI basic functions, may also optionally integrate additional auxiliary functions
such as:
• voltage presence/absence detection for medium voltage (MV) network automation, with
and without distributed energy resources presence (not for fault confirmation, which can
be a basic FPI function depending on the adopted fault detection method, neither for
safety-related aspects, which are covered by IEC 61243-5);
• measuring of voltage, current, and active and reactive power, etc., for various
applications, such as MV network automation, monitoring of power flows, etc.;
• smart grid management (such as voltage control and unwanted island operation) by
means of a proper interface with local distributed generators (DER);
• local output of collected information by means of suitable interfaces;
• remote transmission of collected information;
• others.
A general FPI scheme is outlined in Figure 1.
A DSU may have a much more complex scheme.

0.2 Position of this standard in relation to the IEC 61850 series
IEC 61850 is the series of International Standards intended to be used for communication and
systems to support power utility automation.
The IEC 62689 series will also introduce a dedicated namespace to support integration of
FPIs/DSUs into power utility automation.
In addition, it defines proper data models and different profiles of communication interfaces to
support the different use cases of these FPIs/DSUs.
Some of these use cases rely on the concept of extended substation, which is intended as the
communication among intelligent electronic devices (IED) through IEC 61850 located both
along MV feeders and in the main substation, for the most sophisticated FPI versions (for
smart grid applications, for instance, usually DSUs). Such a profile may not be limited to
FPI/DSU devices, but may embrace features needed to support extensions of these
substations along the MV feeders connected to the main substation themselves.
CURRENT AND VOLTAGE SENSORS OR DETECTORS,
TO BE USED FOR FAULT PASSAGE INDICATION PURPOSES –
Part 1: General principles and requirements
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62689 defines the minimum requirements (therefore performances) and
consequent classification and tests (with the exception of functional and communication ones)
for fault passage indicators (FPIs) and distribution substation units (DSUs) (including their
current and/or voltage sensors), which are, respectively, a device or a device/combination of
devices and/or functions able to detect faults and provide indications about their localization.
By localization of the fault is meant the fault position with respect to the FPI/DSU installation
point on the network (upstream or downstream from the FPI/DSU’s location) or the direction of
the fault current flowing through the FPI/DSU itself. The fault localization may be obtained
• directly from the FPI/DSU, or
• from a central system using information from more FPIs or DSUs,
considering the features and the operating conditions of the electric system where the
FPIs/DSUs are installed.
In this part of IEC 62689, the FPI/DSU classification is specified in detail, in accordance with
the first “core” classification defined in IEC 62689-2, which is explicitly focused on the
description of electric phenomena and electric system response during faults, considering the
most widely diffused distribution system architecture and fault typologies.
Thus, IEC 62689-2 is mainly focused on helping users in the correct choice of FPIs/DSUs,
whereas IEC 62689-1, IEC 62689-3 and IEC 62689-4 are mainly focused on FPI/DSU
requirements, communication and testing procedures, respectively.
