Features:
• Mechanical:
• small footprint
• withdrawable option
• Protection:
• Multiple protection groups with the added flexibility
of switching through a wide selection of current and
voltage protection and control features.
• Fast setup (Quick Setup) menu for power-system
setup and a simple current and voltage protection
configuration.
• Monitoring:
• Large four-line LCD display, LEDs, and an easy-to-
navigate keypad.
Equipped with serial (RS485), USB, and Ethernet ports, and a wide selection of protocols such as
Modbus, DNP3.0, 61870-5-103, or IEC 61850 GOOSE, the SR345 relay is the best-in-class for MCCs,
SCADA and inter-relay communications. The SR345 relay provides excellent transparency with respect
to power system conditions and events, through its four-line 20- character display, as well as the
EnerVista SR3 PC program. Conveniently located LEDs provide indication of relay operation, alarm,
and pickup, as well as breaker, and relay status.

To Establish communication
using “Quick Connect”
Once the SR345 configuration software is running select Quick Connect. Within the quick connect
window set the interface to USB and then select the assigned USB port under USB Device and then
select connect. If the computer can successfully communicate to the relay the message “Device
Quick Connect added to the site Quick Connect”.

Breaker monitoring
Breaker monitoring (Trip and Close coil monitoring) is performed by a built-in voltage monitor on Form
A output relays: #1 Trip, and #2 Close. The voltage monitor is connected across each of the two Form
A contacts, and the relay effectively detects healthy current through the circuit. In order to do this, an
external jumper must be connected between terminals A2 and A3 for Trip coil monitoring, or/and B4,
and B5 for Close coil monitoring.
As long as the current through the Voltage Monitor is above the threshold of the trickle currents (see
Technical Specification for Form A output relays), the circuit integrity for the Trip (Close) coil is
effectively normal. If the Trip (Close) coil circuit gets disconnected, or if in general a high resistance is
detected in the circuitry, a Trip (Close) alarm will be set and the “ALARM” and “MAINTENANCE” LEDs
will be on.
This diagram show the two different connections of the breaker trip (close) coil to the relay’s trip
output #1 terminals (output #2 Close coil monitoring) for both no voltage monitoring and voltage
monitoring of the trip (close) circuit integrity.
NOTE:
To monitor the trip coil circuit integrity, use the relay terminals A2 and B3 to connect the Trip coil, and
provide a jumper between terminals A2 (optional voltage) and A3.
NOTE:
To monitor the close coil circuit integrity, use the relay terminals B4 and A4 to connect the Close coil,
and provide a jumper between terminals B4 (optional voltage) and B5..
