FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

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 proper 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, only using 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.

its technology. However, at least 1 one of C or D functions shall be present.

0.2 Position of this standard in relation to the IEC 61850 series
The IEC 61850 series is 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 (and
therefore DSUs) (for smart grid applications, for instance). 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 2: System aspects



1 Scope
This part of IEC 62689 describes electric phenomena and electric system behaviour during
faults, according to the most widely diffused distribution system architecture and to fault
typologies, to define the functional requirements for fault passage indicators (FPI) and
distribution substation units (DSU) (including their current and/or voltage sensors), which are,
respectively, a device or a device/combination of devices and/or of 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 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.
This part of IEC 62689 is therefore aimed at helping users in the appropriate choice of
FPIs/DSUs (or of a system based on FPI/DSU information) properly operating in their
networks, considering adopted solutions and operation rules (defined by tradition and/or
depending on possible constraints concerning continuity
