2.1

General IED application
RED650 is used for the protection, control and monitoring of overhead lines and cables in solidly or GUID-2E886C66-C954-40F8-9C0E-0BBF4A0A8A54 v5 impedance earthed networks. It is suitable for the protection of heavily loaded lines and multiterminal lines where the requirement for fast one- and/or three-phase tripping is wanted. Back-up protection and apparatus control for 1 circuit breaker is included.
The phase segregated current differential protection provides an excellent sensitivity for high resistive faults and gives a secure phase selection. The availability of six stabilized current inputs per phase allows use on multi-breaker arrangements in two or three terminal applications. The communication between the IEDs involved in the differential scheme is based on the IEEE C37.94 standard and can be made redundant for improved reliability. Charging current compensation allows high sensitivity, even on long overhead lines and cables.
The full scheme distance protection provides protection of power lines with high sensitivity and low requirements on remote end communication. The 6 zones have fully independent measuring and setting ranges which gives high flexibility for all types of lines. Load encroachment and adaptive reach compensation are included.
The multi-shot autoreclose includes priority features for double-breaker arrangements. It co-operates with the synchrocheck function with high-speed or delayed reclosing.
Breaker failure, high set instantaneous phase and earth overcurrent, four step directional or nondirectional delayed phase and earth overcurrent and two step undervoltage protection are included and configured as back-up protection.
The impedance protection and the directional overcurrent protection can communicate with a remote end in any teleprotection communication scheme. The advanced logic capability, where the user logic is prepared with a graphical tool, allows special applications. Communication for teleprotection schemes can be realized over the differential protection communication link.
The IED can be used in applications with the IEC 61850-9-2LE process bus with up to eight Merging Units (MU). Each MU has eight analogue channels, four current and four voltages. Conventional input transformer module and Merging Unit channels can be mixed freely in your application.
The power swing detection function is used to detect power swings and initiate block of all distance protection zones. The occurrence of earth-fault currents during a power swing inhibits the function to allow fault clearance. A complementary power swing logic provides the possibility for selective tripping of faults on power lines during system oscillations (power swings or pole slips) when the distance protection function should normally be blocked.
Disturbance recording and fault locator are available to allow independent post-fault analysis after primary disturbances.
One pre-configured package has been defined for the following application:
· Single breaker, 2/3 line ends, 1/3 phase tripping (A11)
The package is configured and ready for direct use. Analog and control circuits have been predefined and other signals need to be applied as required for each application. The pre-configured IED can be changed and adapted to suit specific applications with the application configuration tool.
IED supports COMTRADE1999 and COMTRADE2013 formats which can be selected in Parameter Setting Tool (PST) of PCM600 or via LHMI.
Forcing of binary inputs and outputs is a convenient way to test wiring in substations as well as testing configuration logic in the IEDs. Basically it means that all binary inputs and outputs on the IED I/O modules (BOM, BIM and IOM) can be forced to arbitrary values.

Central Account Management is an authentication infrastructure that offers a secure solution for enforcing access control to IEDs and other systems within a substation. This incorporates management of user accounts, roles and certificates and the distribution of such, a procedure completely transparent to the user.
The Flexible Product Naming allows the customer to use an IED-vendor independent IEC 61850 model of the IED. This customer model will be used as the IEC 61850 data model, but all other aspects of the IED will remain unchanged (e.g., names on the local HMI and names in the tools). This offers significant flexibility to adapt the IED to the customers' system and standard solution.

The following tables list all the functions available in the IED. Those functions that are not exposed to the user or do not need to be configured are not described in this manual.

Introduction
The basic delivery includes one binary input module and one binary output module, which is GUID-79B8BC84-4AAB-44E7-86CD-FF63098B009D v3 sufficient for the default configured I/O to trip and close circuit breaker. All IEDs can be reconfigured with the help of the application configuration tool in PCM600. The IED can be adapted to special applications and special logic can be developed, such as logic for automatic opening of disconnectors and closing of ring bays, automatic load transfer from one busbar to the other, and so on.
The basic IED configuration is provided with the signal matrix, single line diagram and the application configuration prepared for the functions included in the product by default. All parameters should be verified by the customer, since these are specific to the system, object or application. Optional functions and optional I/O ordered will not be configured at delivery. It should be noted that the standard only includes one binary input and one binary output module and only the key functions such as tripping are connected to the outputs in the signal matrix tool. The required total I/O must be calculated and specified at ordering.
The configurations are as far as found necessary provided with application comments to explain why the signals have been connected in the special way. On request, ABB is available to support the reconfiguration work, either directly or to do the design checking.

Analog inputs

Section 4 Analog inputs

4.1

Introduction

SEMOD55003-5 v11

Analog input channels must be configured and set properly in order to get correct measurement results and correct protection operations. For power measuring, all directional and differential functions, the directions of the input currents must be defined in order to reflect the way the current transformers are installed/connected in the field ( primary and secondary connections ). Measuring and protection algorithms in the IED use primary system quantities. Setting values are in primary quantities as well and it is important to set the data about the connected current and voltage transformers properly.

An AISVBAS reference PhaseAngleRef can be defined to facilitate service values reading. This analog channel's phase angle will always be fixed to zero degrees and remaining analog channel's phase angle information will be shown in relation to this analog input. During testing and commissioning of the IED, the reference channel can be changed to facilitate testing and service values reading.

The IED has the ability to receive analog values from primary equipment, that are sampled by Merging units (MU) connected to a process bus, via the IEC 61850-9-2 LE protocol.

The availability of VT inputs depends on the ordered transformer input module (TRM) type.

4.2

Setting guidelines

SEMOD55068-1 v1 SEMOD130348-4 v5

The available setting parameters related to analog inputs are depending on the actual hardware (TRM) and the logic configuration made in PCM600.

4.2.1
4.2.1.1

If a second TRM is used, at least one TRM channel must be configured to get the service values. However, the MU physical channel must be configured to get service values from that channel.

Setting of the phase reference channel

SEMOD55055-5 v3

All phase angles are calculated in relation to a defined reference. An appropriate analog input channel is selected and used as phase reference. The parameter PhaseAngleRef defines the analog channel that is used as phase angle reference.

Example

SEMOD55055-11 v6

Usually the L1 phase-to-earth voltage connected to the first VT channel number of the transformer input module (TRM) is selected as the phase reference. The first VT channel number depends on the type of transformer input module.

For a TRM with 6 current and 6 voltage inputs the first VT channel is 7. The setting PhaseAngleRef=7 shall be used if the phase reference voltage is connected to that channel.

Setting of current channels

SEMOD55055-16 v6

The direction of a current to the IED is depending on the connection of the CT. Unless indicated otherwise, the main CTs are supposed to be star connected and can be connected with the earthing point to the object or from the object. This information must be set in the IED. The convention of the directionality is defined as follows: A positive value of current, power, and so on means that the quantity has the direction into the object and a negative value means direction out from the object. For directional functions the direction into the object is defined as Forward and the direction out from the object is defined as Reverse. See Figure 3

A positive value of current, power, and so on (forward) means that the quantity flows towards the object. A negative value of current, power, and so on (reverse) means that the quantity flows away from the object. See Figure 3.

Section 4 Analog inputs

In this example, one IED includes both transformer and line protections and the line protection uses the same CT as the transformer protection does. For both current input channels, the CT direction is set with the transformer as reference object. This means that the direction Forward for the line protection is towards the transformer. To look towards the line, the direction of the directional functions of the line protection must be set to Reverse. The direction Forward/Reverse is related to the reference object that is the transformer in this case.
When a function is set to Reverse and shall protect an object in reverse direction, it shall be noted that some directional functions are not symmetrical regarding the reach in forward and reverse direction. It is in first hand the reach of the directional criteria that can differ. Normally it is not any limitation but it is advisable to have it in mind and check if it is acceptable for the application in question.
If the IED has sufficient number of analog current inputs, an alternative solution is shown in Figure 7. The same currents are fed to two separate groups of inputs and the line and transformer protection functions are configured to the different inputs. The CT direction for the current channels to the line protection is set with the line as reference object and the directional functions of the line protection shall be set to Forward to protect the line.

Figure 8:
For busbar protection, it is possible to set the CTStarPoint parameters in two ways.
The first solution will be to use busbar as a reference object. In that case for all CT inputs marked with 1 in Figure 8, set CTStarPoint = ToObject, and for all CT inputs marked with 2 in Figure 8, set CTStarPoint = FromObject.
The second solution will be to use all connected bays as reference objects. In that case for all CT inputs marked with 1 in Figure 8, set CTStarPoint = FromObject, and for all CT inputs marked with 2 in Figure 8, set CTStarPoint = ToObject.
Regardless which one of the above two options is selected, busbar differential protection will behave correctly.
The main CT ratios must also be set. This is done by setting the two parameters CTsec and CTprim for each current channel. For a 1000/1 A CT, the following settings shall be used:
· CTprim = 1000 (value in A) · CTsec =1 (value in A).

It shall be noted that depending on national standard and utility practices, the rated secondary current of a CT has typically one of the following values:

However, in some cases, the following rated secondary currents are used as well:

The IED fully supports all of these rated secondary values.
It is recommended to:
· use 1A rated CT input into the IED in order to connect CTs with 1A and 2A secondary rating
· use 5A rated CT input into the IED in order to connect CTs with 5A and 10A secondary rating

The current inputs are located in the TRM. It shall be noted that for all these current inputs the following setting values shall be entered for the example shown in Figure 10.

· CTprim=600A · CTsec=5A · CTStarPoint=ToObject

Ratio of the first two parameters is only used inside the IED. The third parameter (CTStarPoint=ToObject) as set in this example causes no change on the measured currents. In other words, currents are already measured towards the protected object.

3)

These three connections are the links between the three current inputs and the three input channels of the

preprocessing function block 4). Depending on the type of functions, which need this current information,

more than one preprocessing block might be connected in parallel to the same three physical CT inputs.

4)

The preprocessing block that has the task to digitally filter the connected analog inputs and calculate:

· fundamental frequency phasors for all three input channels · harmonic content for all three input channels · positive, negative and zero sequence quantities by using the fundamental frequency phasors for the
first three input channels (channel one taken as reference for sequence quantities)

These calculated values are then available for all built-in protection and control functions within the IED, which are connected to this preprocessing function block. For this application most of the preprocessing settings can be left to the default values. If frequency tracking and compensation is required (this feature is typically required only for IEDs installed in power plants), then the setting parameters DFTReference shall be set accordingly. Section SMAI in this manual provides information on adaptive frequency tracking for the signal matrix for analogue inputs (SMAI).

5)

AI3P in the SMAI function block is a grouped signal which contains all the data about the phases L1, L2, L3

and neutral quantity; in particular the data about fundamental frequency phasors, harmonic content and

positive sequence, negative and zero sequence quantities are available.

AI1, AI2, AI3, AI4 are the output signals from the SMAI function block which contain the fundamental

frequency phasors and the harmonic content of the corresponding input channels of the preprocessing

function block.

AIN is the signal which contains the fundamental frequency phasors and the harmonic content of the neutral

quantity. In this example, GRP2N is not connected so this data is calculated by the preprocessing function

block on the basis of the inputs GRPL1, GRPL2 and GRPL3. If GRP2N is connected, the data reflects the

measured value of GRP2N.

Another alternative is to have the star point of the three-phase CT set as shown in Figure 11:

Relationships between setting parameter Base Current, CT rated primary current and minimum pickup of a protection IED
GUID-8EB19363-9178-4F04-A6AC-AF0C2F99C5AB v1
Note that for all line protection applications (e.g. distance protection or line differential protection) the parameter Base Current (i.e. IBase setting in the IED) used by the relevant protection function, shall always be set equal to the largest rated CT primary current among all CTs involved in the protection scheme. The rated CT primary current value is set as parameter CTPrim under the IED TRM settings.
For all other protection applications (e.g. generator, shunt reactor, shunt capacitor and transformer protection) it is typically desirable to set IBase parameter equal to the rated current of the protected object. However this is only recommended to do if the rated current of the protected object is within the range of 40% to 120% of the selected CT rated primary current. If for any reason (e.g. high maximum short circuit current) the rated current of the protected object is less than 40% of the rated CT primary current, it is strongly recommended to set the parameter IBase in the IED to be equal to the largest rated CT primary current among all CTs involved in the protection scheme and installed on the same voltage level. This will effectively make the protection scheme less sensitive; however, such measures are necessary in order to avoid possible problems with loss of the measurement accuracy in the IED.
Regardless of the applied relationship between the IBase parameter and the rated CT primary current, the corresponding minimum pickup of the function on the CT secondary side must always be verified. It is strongly recommended that the minimum pickup of any instantaneous protection function (e.g. differential, restricted earth fault, distance, instantaneous overcurrent, etc.) shall under no circumstances be less than 4% of the used IED CT input rating (i.e. 1A or 5A). This corresponds to 40mA secondary for IED 1A rated inputs and to 200mA secondary for IED 5A rated inputs used by the function. This shall be individually verified for all current inputs involved in the protection scheme.
Note that exceptions from the above 4% rule may be acceptable for very special applications (e.g. when Multipurpose filter SMAIHPAC is involved in the protection scheme).

Setting of voltage channels

SEMOD55055-44 v4

As the IED uses primary system quantities, the main VT ratios must be known to the IED. This is done by setting the two parameters VTsec and VTprim for each voltage channel. The phase-tophase value can be used even if each channel is connected to a phase-to-earth voltage from the VT.

Figure 20 gives an example about the wiring of an open delta VT to the IED for high impedance earthed or unearthed power systems. It shall be noted that this type of VT connection presents a secondary voltage proportional to 3U0 to the IED.

In case of a solid earth fault close to the VT location the primary value of 3Uo will be equal to:

The primary rated voltage of an open Delta VT is always equal to UPh-E. Three series connected VT secondary windings gives a secondary voltage equal to three times the individual VT secondary winding rating. Thus the secondary windings of open delta VTs quite often have a secondary rated voltage equal to one third of the rated phase-to-phase VT secondary voltage (110/3V in this particular example).

Application IP14947-1 v1
Line differential protection can be applied on overhead lines and cables. It is an absolute selectivM1e2022-3 v6 unit protection with a number of advantages. Coordination with other protections is normally simple. All faults on the line, between the line bay CTs, can be cleared instantaneously. The sensitivity can be made high, which is especially important for the ability to detect high resistive earth faults. It is not influenced by possible voltage and/or current inversion, associated with faults in series compensated networks. It is not influenced by fault current reversal at earth faults on parallel lines. As it is phasesegregated, the identification of faulted phases is inherent, and thus the application of single- or twophase trip and auto-reclosing can be made robust and reliable. Note that if an in-line or shunt power transformer is included in the protected circuit, of the type Dy or Yd, then the protection cannot be phase-segregated. Single-phase automatic re-closing will not be possible.
Line differential protection can be applied on multi-terminal lines with maximum three line ends. Depending on the actual network, reliable fault clearance can often be difficult to achieve with conventional distance protection schemes in these types of applications.
It is recommended to use the same firmware version as well as hardware version for a specific line differential scheme.
With 1½ breaker configurations, normally the line protection is fed from two CTs. Avoiding to add the currents from the two CTs externally before entering the IED is important as this will enable possible bias current from both CTs to be considered in the current differential algorithm, and in that way assuring that the correct restrain will be possible, as shown in figure 30.

Line differential protection can also be applied with in-line power transformers in the protected zone. Such an in-line power transformer can be situated in tap, as shown in Figure 31 or in one end of a two-terminal line. Observe that the currents of the in-line power transformer are measured by the IED on the low voltage side. A one three-winding transformer can be included.

Transformer situated in tap

A current differential protection including power transformers must be compensated for transformer turns ratio and phase shift/vector group. In the line differential function this compensation is made in the software algorithm, which eliminates the need for auxiliary interposing current transformers. Necessary parameters, such as transformer rated voltages and phase shift, must be entered via the Parameter Setting tool or the LHMI.

Another concern with differential protection on power transformers is that a differential protection may operate unwanted due to external earth faults in cases where the zero-sequence current can flow only on one side of the power transformer but not on the other side, as in the case of Yd or Dy phase shift/vector groups. This is the situation when the zero-sequence current cannot be transformed from one side to the other side of the transformer. To make the differential protection insensitive to external earth faults in these situations, the zero-sequence current must be eliminated from the terminal currents so that it does not appear as a differential current. This was previously achieved by means of intermediate current transformers. The elimination of zero-sequence current is done numerically and no auxiliary transformers are necessary. Instead it is necessary to eliminate the zero-sequence current by proper setting of the parameter ZerSeqCurSubtr. If the power transformer

is of the type Dyn, where yn-windings currents are measured, then the zero-sequence component will be subtracted when these currents are transformed to the HV-side.

Small power transformers in a tap

M12022-54 v5

If there is a line tap with a comparatively small power transformer (say 1-20MVA) , line differential protection can be applied without the need of current measurement from the tap. It works such that line differential protection function will be time delayed for small differential currents below a set limit, making coordination with downstream short circuit protection in the tap possible. For differential currents above that limit, the operation will be instantaneous in the normal way. Under the condition that the load current in the tap will be negligible, normal line faults, with a fault current higher than the fault current on the LV side of the transformer, will be cleared instantaneously.

For faults on the LV side of the transformer the function will be time delayed, with the delay characteristic selected, thus providing selectivity to the downstream functions, see figure 32. The scheme will solve the problem with back-up protection for faults on the transformer LV side where many expensive solutions have been applied such as intertripping or a local HV breaker. In many such applications the back-up protection has been lacking due to the complexity in cost implications to arrange it. Refer also to the setting example below.

Charging current compensation

M12022-58 v6

There are capacitances between the line phase conductors and between phase conductors and earth. These capacitances give rise to line charging currents which are seen by the differential protection as "false" differential currents, as shown in figure 33.

Figure 33:

Charging currents

The magnitude of the charging current is dependent of the line capacitance and the system voltage. For earth cables and long overhead lines, the magnitude can be such that it affects the possibility to achieve the wanted sensitivity of the differential protection. To overcome this, a charging current compensation is available in line differential protection. When enabled, this algorithm will measure the fundamental frequency differential current under steady state undisturbed conditions and then subtract it, making the resulting differential current zero (or close to zero). Note that all small pre-fault differential currents are subtracted, no matter what their origin. This action is made separately for each phase.

When a disturbance occurs, values of the pre-fault differential currents are not updated, and the updating process is only resumed 100 ms after normal conditions have been restored. Normal conditions are then considered when there are no start signals, neither internal nor external fault is detected, the power system is symmetrical and so on. If an Open CT condition is detected, the compensation of charging currents is stopped immediately and the charging currents are temporarily memorized by the function. When Open CT signal resets, the process of compensation is resumed with the same charging current as before. The consequence of freezing the pre-fault values during fault conditions in this way will actually introduce a small error in the resulting calculated differential current under fault conditions. However, this will not have any practical negative consequences, while the positive effect of maintaining high sensitivity even with high charging currents will be achieved. To demonstrate this, two cases can be studied, one with a low resistive short circuit, and one with a high resistive short circuit.

The charging current is generated because there is a voltage applied over the line capacitance as seen in figure 33. If an external short circuit with negligible fault resistance occurs close to the line, the voltage in the fault location will be approximately zero. Consequently, zero voltage will also be applied over part of the line capacitance, which in turn will decrease the charging current compared to the pre-fault value. As mentioned above, the value of the pre-fault "false" differential current will be frozen when a fault is detected, and, as a consequence, the value of the subtracted charging current will be too high in this case. However, as it is a low resistive fault, the bias current will be comparatively high, while the charging current and any errors in the approximation of this will be comparatively low. Thus, the overestimated charging current will not jeopardize stability as can be seen from figure 34, showing the characteristic of line differential protection. In this figure, the considered fault will appear in the section well in the restrain area.

If a high resistive fault is considered, the voltage in the fault location will not be much reduced. Consequently, the value of the pre-fault "false" differential current will be a good estimation of the actual charging current.

Subtracting the pre-fault charging current from the differential current under fault conditions will make it possible to set Idmin mainly without considering the charging current in order to achieve maximum sensitivity. The stability at external faults will not be affected.

Time synchronization

M12022-66 v3

Time synchronization of sampled current values is a crucial matter in numerical line differential protections. The synchronization is made with the so called echo method, which can be complemented with IRIG-B time synchronization. In applications with symmetrical communication delay, that is, send and receive times are equal, the echo method is sufficient. When used in networks with asymmetrical transmission times, the optional IRIG­B time synchronization is required.

Communication channels for line differential protection

M12022-69 v7

The line differential protection function uses 64 kbit/s communication channels to exchange telegrams between the line differential protection IEDs. These telegrams contain current sample values, time information, trip signals, block signals, alarm signals and 8 binary signals, which can be used for any purpose. Each IED can have a maximum of two communication channels.

On a two terminal line there is a need for one communication channel provided that there is only one CT at each line end (see Figure 35).

Two-terminal line with 1½ breaker

IEC05000438-2-en.vsdx

In Figure 36, both local CTs on the left side are treated as separate ends by the line differential protection function.

Current values from two CTs in double breakers, ring main or 1½ breaker system ends with dual breaker arrangements need to be sent to the remote end. As a 64 kbit/s LDCM only has capacity for one three-phase current (duplex), this implies that two communication channels are needed at both ends, and this is also the normal solution.
To reduce the number of communication channels needed, it is also possible to sum up the two local currents before sending by using a software in the IED. However, this is not recommended as it reduces information about bias currents. Bias current is considered the greatest phase current at any line end, and it is common for all three phases. When sending full information from both local CTs to the remote end, the principle works, but when the two local currents are summed up before sending, information on real phase currents from the two local CTs will not be available at the remote line end.
In 64 kbit mode, the decision on using one communication channel instead of two (as show in Figure 36) must be made case by case. Correct information on bias currents is always available locally while only distorted information is available at the end that receives limited information using only one LDCM.

Configuration of analog signals

M12022-86 v5

Currents from the local end enter the IED as analog values via the Analog input modules. These currents are converted to digital values and then forwarded to the line differential protection function in the local IED. From there, they are transmitted to remote IEDs via a Line differential communication module (LDCM). Currents coming from a remote IED are received as digital values via local IED's LDCM, and they are then forwarded to the protection function in the local IED.

LDLPSCH acts as the interface to and from the protection function.

Configuration of this data flow is made in the SMT tool as shown in Figure 37.

Open CT detection

GUID-DB3841A9-5B55-490E-8A2D-EBF0CB263378 v7

Line differential protection has a built-in, advanced open CT detection feature. This feature can block the unwanted operation created by the Line differential protection function in case of an open CT secondary circuit under a normal load condition. However, there is no guarantee that the Open CT algorithm prevents an unwanted disconnection of the protected circuit. The Open CT can be detected in approximately 14 ± 2 ms, and the differential protection might by that time in some cases have already issued a trip command. Nevertheless, the information on an open CT as the reason for trip is still very important. An alarm signal can also be issued to the substation operational personnel to make remedy action once the open CT condition is detected. The open CT algorithm is active under normal load conditions and a little above, i.e. in the range of load current from app. 10 % to app. 150 % rated load. Under normal conditions load is considered to be well described by the bias current. The Open CT detection algorithm is based on the principle that in the phase with an open CT, the current will suddenly drop to zero, while in the other two phases the currents continue as before. The Open CT at each end is enabled 60 seconds after the currents at that end are higher than 3 % rated current of the protected line circuit. An open CT can only be declared if in the phase where an open CT is suspected, exceeds 10 % of the rated current. The Open CT signal disappears when all currents are again normal, or when all three currents become zero.

· Setting parameter OpenCTEnable enables and disables this feature. · Setting parameter OCTBlockEnenables and disables the blocking of differential function once an
open CT is detected. When OCTBlockEn is set to OFF, only an alarm signal is issued. · Setting parameter tOCTAlarmDelay defines the time delay after which the alarm signal is given. · Setting parameter tOCTResetDelay defines the time delay after which the open CT condition
resets once the defective CT circuits have been repaired. · Once the open CT condition has been detected, all the differential protection functions are
blocked except the unrestrained (instantaneous) differential protection. However, there is no guarantee that an unwanted disconnection of the protected circuit can always be prevented. · For applications where the currents from two CTs are summated and sent over LDCM, the output OPENCT must be connected to CTFAIL on LDLPSCH logic in order for the Open CT detection to operate properly. Observe that summation of currents shall be avoided where possible.

The outputs of the open CT conditions are OPENCT and OPENCTAL.

· OPENCT: Open CT detected · OPENCTAL: Alarm issued after the setting delay

Outputs (positive integer) for information on the local HMI:

· OPENCTIN: Open CT in CT group inputs (1 for input 1 and 2 for input 2) · OPENCTPH: Open CT with phase information (1 for phase L1, 2 for phase L2, 3 for phase L3)

Setting guidelines SEMOD54832-1 v3
Line differential protection receives information about currents from all line terminals and evaluaMt1e25s41-86 v4 this information in three different analysis blocks. The results of these analyses are then forwarded to an output logic, where the conditions for trip or no trip are checked.
The three current analyses are:
· Percentage restrained differential analysis · The 2nd and 5th harmonic analysis (only if there is a power transformer included in the protected
circuit) · Internal/external fault discriminator

Section 6 Differential protection

IBase set in primary Amp Set a common IBase in Global base for the protected line (circuit). Most current settings for the M12541-95 v3 protection function are then related to the IBase. The setting of IBase is normally made so that it corresponds to the maximum rated CT in any of the line terminals. For example, if all CTs used in a protected circuit are 1000A/1A, that is, the primary current rating is 1000 A, then IBase = 1000 A is a good choice.
NoOfUsedCTs NoOfUsedCTs indicates to the function the number of three-phase CT sets included in the proteMc12t5e41-d98 v8 circuit. Note that one IED can process one or two local current terminals of the protected circuit. This is the case, for example, in 1½ breaker configurations in the line bay, where one of the two CT sets will be represented as one separate current terminal. A two-terminal line with 1½ breaker configurations at one line end must consequently have NoOfUsedCTs = 3.

Percentage restrained differential operation

M12541-104 v4

Line differential protection is phase-segregated where the operate current is the vector sum of all measured currents taken separately for each phase. The restrain current, on the other hand, is considered the greatest phase current in any line end and it is common for all three phases. Observe that the protection may no more be phase-segregated when there is an in-line power transformer included in the protected circuit. These are usually of the Dy or Yd type and the three phases are related in a complicated way. For example, a single-phase earth fault on the wye side of the power transformer is seen as a two-phase fault on the delta side of the transformer.

Operation: Line differential protection function is switched on or off with this setting. If the parameter Operation is set to Off this IED is switched over to Slave mode and trip is initiated by the remote end IED.

The characteristic of the restrained differential function is shown in Figure 40. The restrained characteristic is defined by the settings:

Line differential protection is phase-segregated where the operate current is the vector sum of all measured currents taken separately for each phase. The restrain current, on the other hand, is considered as the greatest phase current in any line end and it is common for all three phases.

Section 6 Differential protection

If the charging current compensation is enabled, the setting of IdMin must be: IdMin  1.2 × ICharge, concidering some margin in the setting. If the charging current compensation is disabled, the setting of IdMin must be IdMin  2.5 × ICharge. In many cases, the charging current is quite small, which makes the lower limit of the setting range, that is 20% of IBase the practical limit of sensitivity.
When a power transformer is included in the protected zone, the setting of IdMin shall be the highest of recommendations considering charging current as described above and 0.3 × IBase.
IdMinHigh The IdMinHigh setting is a multiple of IBase and used to temporarily decrease sensitivity in situMa12t5i4o1-n165sv5 when the line is energized.
Energizing a line can cause transient charging currents to appear. These currents are pure differential currents, but as they are rich in harmonics, they can partly be measured by the differential protection, which in this case measures the Fourier-filtered differential current. Desensitizing the differential protection in this situation by using IdMinHigh instead of IdMin is a safety precaution, and a setting of 1.00 × IBase should be suitable in most cases.
If there is a power transformer included in the protected zone, energizing the line means that the transformer is energized at the same time. If the transformer nominal current is more than 50% of IBase, IdMinHigh is recommended to be set at 2.00 × IBase, otherwise it can be kept at 1.00 × IBase.
Switching of a transformer inside the protected zone does not normally occur. If the transformer is equipped with a breaker on the HV side, it would most probably not be included in the protected zone. However, tap transformers are sometimes connected with a disconnector on the HV side, and the normal procedure is then to energize the transformer with the disconnector. In such cases, where the tap (shunt) power transformer's power rating is relatively small in comparison to the normal load of the circuit, connecting the tap power transformer to the voltage source, that is, to the protected line circuit, does usually not result in inrush currents high enough to be detected by the differential protection. This is especially the case if the tap power transformer is connected at a junction somewhere towards the middle of the protected line circuit, because the inrush phenomenon is effectively prevented in such cases. If a start signal is nevertheless issued by the differential protection, then the 2nd harmonic will prevent an unwanted trip. Observe that the harmonic inhibit algorithm is active as long as the bias current is below 125% of the base current IBase. (If there is an in-line power transformer included in the protected line circuit, then the harmonic inhibit algorithm is permanently activated, and can only be overridden if an internal fault has been detected.)
tIdMinHigh This setting defines the time that IdMinHigh will be active after the previously dead protected circuit M12541-177 v4 has been connected to the power source. If a power transformer is included in the protection zone, due to long duration of transformer inrush current the parameter should be set to 60 s. Otherwise a setting of 1 s is sufficient.
IdUnre IdUnre is set as a multiple of IBase. Values of differential currents above the unrestrained limit M12541-180 v5 generate a trip disregarding all other criteria, that is, irrespective of the internal or external fault discriminator and any presence of harmonics. It is intended for fast tripping of internal faults with high fault currents. The recommended setting is 120% of the highest through fault current that can appear on the protected line. Consequently, to set this value properly, the fault current must be calculated in each specific case.
For a short line or a situation with a 1½ breaker bay, the through fault current might be practically the same as the differential current at an internal fault. Extreme unequal CT saturation at external faults could then be a risk of unwanted operation if the unrestrained operation is used. Consequently, if the through fault currents can be of the same order as the maximum differential currents at internal faults, for example, when there is a source of power only on one side (in the branch with the first CT), and only load on the other side (in the branch with the other CT), it is recommended to refrain from using the unrestrained operation, by setting the max value IdUnre = 50 × IBase.

1MRK505393-UEN Rev. K

6.1.3.3

On long lines, the through fault current is often considerably less than the maximum differential current at internal faults, and a suitable setting of the unrestrained level is then easy to calculate.
When a transformer is included in the protected zone, the maximum inrush current must be considered when the unrestrained level is calculated. The inrush current appears from one side of the transformer, while the maximum differential current at internal faults is limited by the source impedances on all sides of the transformer. Observe that if the power transformer is energized via a power line, even a short one, the inrush phenomenon is much less pronounced. The fundamental frequency of the inrush current will not be as high as when the power transformer is connected directly to a source with very low internal impedance.
EndSection1 EndSection1 is set as a multiple of IBase. The default value 1.25 is generally recommended. If the M12541-186 v3 conditions are known more in detail, other values can be chosen in order to increase or decrease the sensitivity.
EndSection2 EndSection2 is set as a multiple of IBase. The default value 3.00 is generally recommended. If the M12541-189 v3 conditions are known more in detail, other values can be chosen in order to increase or decrease the sensitivity.
SlopeSection2 SlopeSection2 is set as a percentage value: [delta operate current/delta restrain current] × 100%. M12541-192 v4 The default value 40.0 is generally recommended. If the conditions are known more in detail, other values can be chosen in order to increase or decrease the sensitivity.
SlopeSection3 SlopeSection3 is set as a percentage value: [delta operate current/delta restrain current] × 100%. M12541-195 v4 The default value 80.0 is generally recommended. If the conditions are known more in detail, other values can be chosen in order to increase or decrease the sensitivity.

The 2nd and 5th harmonic analysis

M12541-198 v5

The 2nd and 5th harmonic block scheme is permanently active only if an in-line power transformer (A or B, alternatively both A and B) is part of the protected circuit. This is a must due to phenomena specific for power transformers, such as inrush and over-excitation. If there is no power transformer included in the protected multi-terminal line circuit, then the 2nd and 5th harmonic block scheme is only active under the following conditions:

· If the bias current is lower than 1.25 times IBase. · Under external fault conditions. · If NegSeqDiffEn = Off (the default is On )

When the harmonic content is above the set level, the restrained differential operation is blocked. However, if a fault has been classified as internal by the negative sequence fault discriminator, any harmonic restraint is overridden.

Transformer inrush currents cause high degrees of the 2nd harmonic in the differential current. The default value of 15% is a reliable value to detect power transformer inrush currents.

CT saturation causes 2nd harmonics of considerable value on the CT secondary side, which contributes to the stabilization of the relay at through fault conditions. It is strongly recommended to maintain a sensitive setting of the I2/I1Ratio also when a power transformer is not included in the protected zone.

A 20...30% over-excitation of a transformer can cause an increase in the excitation current of 10...100 times the normal value. This excitation current is a true differential current if the transformer is inside the protected zone. It has a high degree of the 5th harmonic, and the default setting of 25% will be suitable in most cases to detect the phenomenon. As CT saturation also causes 5th harmonics on the secondary side, it is recommended to maintain this setting at 25% or lower even if no power transformer is included in the protected zone.

Internal/external fault discriminator

M12541-210 v2

NegSeqDiffEn The negative sequence fault discriminator can be set On/Off. It is an important complement to the M12541-213 v4 percentage restrained differential function. As it is directional, it can distinguish between external and internal faults also in difficult conditions, such as CT saturation, and so on. It is strongly recommended that it is always activated (On).
NegSeqROA This is the setting of the relay operate angle of the negative sequence current based internal/exMt12e54r1n-21a8 vl4 fault discriminator. The directional test is made so that the end with the highest negative sequence current is found. Then, the sum of the negative sequence currents at all other circuit ends is calculated. Finally, the relative phase angle between these two negative sequence currents is determined. See figure 41. Ideally the angle is zero degrees for internal faults and 180 degrees for external faults. However, measuring errors caused by, for example, CT saturation as well as different phase angles of the negative sequence impedances, require a safety margin, expressed as the ROA (Relay Operate Angle). The default value 60 degrees is recommended in most cases. The setting NegSeqROA is a compromise between the security and dependability of the differential protection. The value NegSeqROA = 60 degrees emphasizes security against dependability. Tests have proven that 60 degrees is a good choice.

If one or the other of currents is too low, then no measurement is done, and 120 degrees is mapped

6.1.3.5

IminNegSeq IminNegSeq is set as a multiple of IBase. The local, and the sum of all remote negative sequence M12541-223 v4 currents are compared separately if they are above the set threshold value IminNegSeq. If either is below the threshold, no comparison is made. Neither internal nor external fault is declared in this case. The default value 0.04 × IBase can be used if no special considerations, such as extremely week sources, are taken into account. Observe that internally, whenever the bias current is higher than 1.5 times IBase, the actual threshold is equal to the sum of IminNegSeq + 0.1 Ibias. This is in order to prevent wrong decisions of the internal/external fault discriminator under heavy three-phase external fault conditions with severe CT saturation.

Power transformers in the protected zone

TraAOnInpCh This parameter is used to indicate that a power transformer is included in the protection zone atM12541-239 v6 current terminal X.

This is one of the few settings that can be set differently for each separate master IED.

The setting specifies the current input on the differential current function block where the input current must be recalculated, that is, referred to the high voltage side, which is the reference side of the differential protection. The measured current, fed to the input channel determined by the setting TraAOnInpCh, will be recalculated to I ·RatVoltW2TraA/RatVoltW1TraA and shifted counterclockwise by the angle, determined by the product ClockNumTransA × 30 degrees.

In case of a M12541-307 v4 power transformer in the protected zone, where the zero sequence current cannot be transformed through the transformer, that is, in the great majority of cases, the zero sequence current must be eliminated.

ZerSeqCurSubtr must be set On if there is a transformer in the zone. The zero sequence currents are then subtracted from all current terminals.

CrossBlockEn The possibility of cross-blocking can be set On/Off. The meaning of cross-blocking is that the 2 and nd M12541-310 v3 5th harmonic blocking in one phase also blocks the differential function of the other phases. It is recommended to enable the cross-blocking if a power transformer is included in the protection zone, otherwise not.

IMaxAddDelay IMaxAddDelay is set as a multiple of IBase. The current level, under which a possible extra added M12541-313 v4 time delay (of the output trip command), can be applied. The possibility for delayed operation for small differential currents is typically used for lines with a (minor) tapped transformer somewhere in the protected circuit and where no protection terminal of the multi-terminal differential protection is applied at the transformer site. If such a minor tap transformer is equipped with a circuit breaker and its own local protection, then this protection must operate before the line differential protection to achieve selectivity for faults on the low voltage side of the transformer. To ensure selectivity, the current setting must be higher than the greatest fault current for faults at the high voltage side of the transformer.

Notes:

1

IBase (set in GBASVAL) is the reference current of the line differential protection given in

primary Amperes. CT1 in terminal 1 has a ratio of 600/1 and that is why 600 A is chosen for

IBase in this example.

2

Only one physical power transformer is included in the protected circuit. However, to handle the

situation with two CTs on the low-voltage side of the transformer, one more fictitious power

transformer is introduced. Thus, transformer A can be thought of as being installed at CT2, and

transformer B, which is identical to A, can be thought of as being installed at CT3. Currents

measured at CT2 and CT3 are internally separately referred to the high-voltage side of the

transformer by the multi-terminal differential algorithm using the same transformation rule. This

rule is defined by the power transformer transformation ratio and its type (Yd1 in this example). If

an in-line power transformer is included in the protected zone, the protected power lines are

usually on the high-voltage side of the in-line power transformer. The differential algorithm

always transforms the low-voltage side currents to the high-voltage side.

3

Earth faults on the Y-side of the transformer cause a zero sequence current that flows in the Y-

winding of the power transformer. This current does not appear outside the transformer on the d-

side, and is consequently not measured by CT2 and CT3. Thus, if Y-side earth fault is external to

the protected zone, zero sequence current that passes the neutral point of the transformer

appears as a false differential current. This can cause an unwanted trip if zero sequence

currents are not subtracted from all three fundamental frequency differential currents.

4

Energizing the circuit means that the power transformer is energized at the same time. It is

assumed that this is always made from the high-voltage side, and the harmonic restraint detects

the inrush current and prevents a trip. Setting IdMinHigh = 2.00 · IBase is justified in this case

since the transformer is large.

5

The interval when IdMinHigh is active is set to 60 s because a power transformer is included in

the protected zone. As both IEDs process the same currents, both must have the same value set

for IdMinHigh.

6

The unrestrained operate (differential) current limit should greater than the highest through fault

current. This current appears at a three-phase short circuit on the 33 kV side of the transformer

and can be calculated as:

IThrough =

220

= 2.75kA

3 × (7.0 + 15.0 + 24.2)

protected zone.

The numerical value for Zres input in the formula for If138 gives If138 = 403 A

(Equation 27)

To allow the differential protection to act as a backup protection for internal faults and faults on the LV side of the transformer, AddDelay is set to On, and a suitable setting is calculated for Imax AddDelay. Differential currents below the set value for Imax AddDelay are time delayed. Value two times the rated current of the transformer on the HV side is chosen. The setting is calculated as:

Additional security logic for differential protection LDRGFC can help the security of the protection especially when the communication system is in abnormal status or for example when there is unspecified asymmetry in the communication link. It reduces the probability for mal-operation of the protection. LDRGFC is more sensitive than the main protection logic to always release operation for all faults detected by the differential function. LDRGFC consists of four sub functions:

· Phase-to-phase current variation · Zero sequence current criterion · Low voltage criterion · Low current criterion

Phase-to-phase current variation takes the current samples (IL1­IL2, IL2­IL3, etc.) as input and it calculates the variation using the sampling value based algorithm. Phase-to-phase current variation function is major one to fulfil the objectives of the start up element.
Zero sequence criterion takes the zero sequence current as input. It increases security of protection during high impedance fault conditions.
Low voltage criterion takes the phase voltages and phase to phase voltages as inputs. It increases the security of protection when the three phase fault occurred on the weak end side.
Low current criterion takes the phase currents as inputs and it increases the dependability during the switch onto fault case of an unloaded line.
The differential function can be allowed to trip as no load is fed through the line and protection is not working correctly.
Features:
· Startup element is sensitive enough to detect the abnormal status of the protected system · Startup element does not influence the operation speed of main protection · Startup element detects the evolving faults, high impedance faults and three phase fault on
weak side · It is possible to block the each sub function of startup element · Startup signal has a settable pulse time
The Additional security logic for differential protection LDRGFC is connected as a local criterion to release the tripping from line differential protection. LDRGFC is connected with an AND gate to the trip signals from LDLPDIF function. Figure 52 shows a configuration for three phase tripping, but LDRGFC can be configured with individual release to all phases trip. The START signal can also, through one of the available binary signal transfer channels, be sent to remote end and there connected to input REMSTUP. Normally, the local criterion is sufficient.

The distance protection function in the IED is designed to meet basic requirements for application on GUID-2F952D87-6BEB-4425-B823-DF8511B9E742 v3 transmission and sub-transmission lines (solid earthed systems) although it can also be used on distribution levels.
Sub-transmission networks are being extended and often become more and more complex, consisting of a high number of multi-circuit and/or multi terminal lines of very different lengths. These changes in the network will normally impose more stringent demands on the fault clearing equipment in order to maintain an unchanged or increased security level of the power system.

System earthing

Solidly earthed networks In solidly earthed systems, the transformer neutrals are connected directly to earth without any GUID-6B0F02F4-18ED-415E-8D48-0A1648F7CE00 v2 impedance between the transformer neutral and earth.

Solidly earthed network

The earth-fault current is as high or even higher than the short-circuit current. The series impedances determine the magnitude of the fault current. The shunt admittance has very limited influence on the earth-fault current. The shunt admittance may, however, have some marginal influence on the earthfault current in networks with long transmission lines.

The earth-fault current at single phase-to-earth in phase L1 can be calculated as equation 31:

The high zero-sequence current in solidly earthed networks makes it possible to use impedance measuring techniques to detect earth faults. However, distance protection has limited possibilities to detect high resistance faults and should therefore always be complemented with other protection function(s) that can carry out the fault clearance in those cases.
Effectively earthed networks A network is defined as effectively earthed if the earth-fault factor fe is less than 1.4. The earth-fault GUID-39CAF169-315E-4E3E-9EE6-28CBF624B90E v5 factor is defined according to equation 32.

The magnitude of the earth-fault current in effectively earthed networks is high enough for impedance measuring elements to detect earth faults. However, in the same way as for solidly earthed networks, distance protection has limited possibilities to detect high resistance faults and should therefore always be complemented with other protection function(s) that can carry out the fault clearance in this case.

High impedance earthed networks In high impedance networks, the neutral of the system transformers are connected to the earth GUID-02F306F5-1038-42AC-AFAE-3F8423C4C066 v7 through high impedance, mostly a reactance in parallel with a high resistor.

This type of network is often operated radially, but can also be found operating as a meshed network.

What is typical for this type of network is that the magnitude of the earth -fault current is very low compared to the short circuit current. The voltage on the healthy phases will get a magnitude of up to 3 times the phase voltage during the fault. The zero sequence voltage (3U 0) will have the same magnitude in different places in the network due to low voltage drop distribution.

The magnitude of the total fault current can be calculated according to equation35.

Figure 54:

High impedance earthing network

The operation of high impedance earthed networks is different compared to solid earthed networks, where all major faults have to be cleared very fast. In high impedance earthed networks, some system operators do not clear single phase-to-earth faults immediately; they clear the line later when it is more convenient. In case of cross-country faults, many network operators want to selectively clear one of the two earth faults.

In this type of network, there will be very low or no zero-sequence current contributed by the system behind the relay during earthfault. If the earth-faults are identified without the measurement of zerosequence current, the distance protection will automatically disable the use of zero-sequence current in the load compensation algorithm and direction element. For the reason that earth-fault current might be too low for acceptance, a separate high sensitive earth-fault protection is necessary to carry out the fault clearance for single phase-to-earth- fault. For cross-country faults and when using phase preference, it is necessary to make sure that the distance protection is operating in the phase-toearth loops independently, whenever possible. See guidelines for setting INReleasePE.

Fault infeed from remote end

GUID-E28CCC52-497F-4B79-9430-8A2155FED936 v4

All transmission and most all sub-transmission networks are operated meshed. Typical for this type of network is that fault infeed from remote end will happen when fault occurs on the protected line. The fault current infeed will enlarge the fault impedance seen by the distance protection. This effect is very important to keep in mind when both planning the protection system and making the settings.

With reference to figure 55, the equation for the bus voltage UA at A side is:

( ) U A = I A  p  Z L + I A + I B  Rf
EQUATION1273-IEC-650 V2 EN-US

If we divide UA by IA we get Z present to the IED at A side.

ZA = UA = p ·ZL + IA + IB ·Rf

The infeed factor (IA+IB)/IA can be very high, 10-20 depending on the differences in source impedances at local and remote end.

IEC09000247-1-en.vsd
Influence of fault current infeed from remote line end

The effect of fault current infeed from the remote line end is one of the most driving factors to justify complementary protection for distance protection.

When the line is heavily loaded, the distance protection at the exporting end will have a tendency to overreach. To handle this phenomenon, the IED has an adaptive built-in algorithm, which compensates the overreach tendency of zone 1 at the exporting end. No settings are required for this feature.

Under-impedance phase selection with load enchroachment GUID-6785BF05-2775-4422-8077-A663D01C6C07 v8
In some cases the measured load impedance might enter the set zone characteristic without any fault on the protected line. This phenomenon is called load encroachment and it might occur when an external fault is cleared and high emergency load is transferred onto the protected line. The effect of load encroachment is illustrated on the left in figure 56. A load impedance within the characteristic would cause an unwanted trip. The traditional way of avoiding this situation is to set the distance zone resistive reach with a security margin to the minimum load impedance. The drawback with this approach is that the sensitivity of the protection to detect resistive faults is reduced.
The IED has a built-in feature which shapes the under-impedance starting characteristic according to the characteristic shown in figure 56. The load encroachment algorithm will increase the possibility to detect high fault resistances, especially for phase-to-earth faults at the remote line end. For example, for a given setting of the load angle ArgLd, the resistive blinder for the zone measurement can be set according to figure 56 affording higher fault resistance coverage without risk for unwanted operation due to load encroachment. Separate resistive blinder settings are available in forward and reverse direction.
The use of the load encroachment feature is essential for long heavily loaded lines, where there might be a conflict between the necessary emergency load transfer and necessary sensitivity of the distance protection. The function can also preferably be used on heavy loaded, medium long lines. For short lines, the major concern is to get sufficient fault resistance coverage. Load encroachment is not a major problem.
The built-in phase selection is based on current change criteria and has no user defined settings. However, a traditional under-impedance-based phase selector is always working in parallel with it. This under-impedance-based criterion is defined by the two setting parameters XStart and RStart, as shown in Figure 56. These two settings are common for both Ph-Ph and Ph-Gnd measurement loops. In order to ensure proper operation of the distance zones the under-impedance based starting element shall be set in such a way to always cover (i.e. be larger than) all used distance zones for both Ph-Ph and Ph-Gnd loops. Consequently, the following settings are recommended:
Parameter XStart shall be set to a value which is at least 20% bigger than the value obtained by formula (2*X1FwPEZx+X0FwPEZx)/3 applied for the longest reaching zone.

It is recommended that the RStart setting shall not exceed the load impedance, which is typically defined as UBase/sqrt(3)/IBase in primary ohms. It is recommended to reduce the RStart set value to maximum 80% of the above defined load impedance value. However, the RLdRvFactor and RLdFw settings can be utilized to get an additional non-operation sector for emergency load, like for when a parallel line is opened, as shown in Figure 56.

Short line application

GUID-331451C9-EA93-481A-BA2E-D729EDB98828 v4

In short line applications, the major concern is to get sufficient fault resistance coverage. Load encroachment is not such a common problem. The line length that can be recognized as a short line is not a fixed length; it depends on system parameters such as voltage and source impedance, see table 14.

Line category
Very short line Short line

Un 110 kV 1.1-5.5 km
5.5-11 km

Un 500 kV 5-25 km
25-50 km

The IED's ability to set resistive and reactive reach independent for positive and zero sequence fault loops and individual fault resistance settings for phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth fault together with load encroachment algorithm improves the possibility to detect high resistive faults without conflict with the load impedance.
For very short line applications, the underreaching zone 1 can not be used due to the fact that the voltage drop distribution throughout the line will be too low causing risk for overreaching.

Long transmission line application

GUID-0C99A197-06CD-4668-A017-3CA9E5E01ED2 v4

For long transmission lines, the margin to the load impedance, that is, to avoid load encroachment, will normally be a major concern. It is well known that it is difficult to achieve high sensitivity for phase-to-earth fault at remote line end of long lines when the line is heavy loaded.

What can be recognized as long lines with respect to the performance of distance protection can generally be described as in table 15. Long lines have Source impedance ratio (SIR's) less than 0.5.

The IED's ability to set resistive and reactive reach independent for positive and zero sequence fault loops and individual fault resistance settings for phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth fault together with load encroachment algorithm improves the possibility to detect high resistive faults at the same time as the security is improved (risk for unwanted trip due to load encroachment is eliminated), see figure 56.

Parallel line application with mutual coupling

GUID-4720AB55-0E59-4531-AE14-6A6EEC72C924 v1

General Introduction of parallel lines in the network is increasing due to difficulties to get necessary land to GUID-E2FFF4A4-7D81-4440-87CE-3DCEAE2E42BD v3 build new lines.
Parallel lines introduce an error in the measurement due to the mutual coupling between the parallel lines. The lines need not be of the same voltage level in order to experience mutual coupling, and some coupling exists even for lines that are separated by 100 meters or more. The mutual coupling does influence the zero sequence impedance to the fault point but it does not normally cause voltage inversion.
It can be shown from analytical calculations of line impedances that the mutual impedances for positive and negative sequence are very small (< 1-2%) of the self impedance and it is a common practice to neglect them.
From an application point of view there exists three types of network configurations (classes) that must be considered when making the settings for the protection function.
The different network configuration classes are:
1. Parallel line with common positive and zero sequence network 2. Parallel circuits with common positive but isolated zero sequence network 3. Parallel circuits with positive and zero sequence sources isolated.
One example of class 3 networks could be the mutual coupling between a 400 kV line and rail road overhead lines. This type of mutual coupling is not so common although it exists and is not treated any further in this manual.
For each type of network class, there are three different topologies; the parallel line can be in service, out of service, out of service and earthed in both ends.
The reach of the distance protection zone 1 shall be different depending on the operation condition of the parallel line. This can be handled by the use of different setting groups for handling the cases when the parallel line is in operation and out of service and earthed at both ends.

The distance protection within the IED can compensate for the influence of a zero sequence mutual coupling on the measurement at single phase-to-earth faults in the following ways, by using:
· The possibility of different setting values that influence the earth-return compensation for different distance zones within the same group of setting parameters.
· Different groups of setting parameters for different operating conditions of a protected multi circuit line.
Most multi circuit lines have two parallel operating circuits.
Parallel line applications This type of networks is defined as those networks where the parallel transmission lines terminate at GUID-905ACED8-CD00-4651-90F1-96D1885BA856 v1 common nodes at both ends.
The three most common operation modes are:
1. Parallel line in service. 2. Parallel line out of service and earthed. 3. Parallel line out of service and not earthed.
Parallel line in service This type of application is very common and applies to all normal sub-transmission and transmission GUID-22E1A46C-92BD-4EE4-9A2D-9EFE2DB7B4D8 v3 networks.
Let us analyze what happens when a fault occurs on the parallel line see figure 57.

If the current on the parallel line has negative sign compared to the current on the protected line, that is, the current on the parallel line has an opposite direction compared to the current on the protected line, the distance function will overreach. If the currents have the same direction, the distance protection will underreach.
Maximum overreach will occur if the fault current infeed from remote line end is weak.

The zero sequence mutual coupling can reduce the reach of distance protection on the protected circuit when the parallel line is in normal operation. The reduction of the reach is most pronounced with no current infeed in the IED closest to the fault. This reach reduction is normally less than 15%. But when the reach is reduced at one line end, it is proportionally increased at the opposite line end. So this 15% reach reduction does not significantly affect the operation of a permissive underreaching scheme.

Parallel line is out of service and not earthed

When the parallel line is out of service and not earthed, the zero sequence on that line can only flow through the line admittance to the earth. The line admittance is high which limits the zero-sequence current on the parallel line to very low values. In practice, the equivalent zero-sequence impedance circuit for faults at the remote bus bar can be simplified to the circuit shown in figure 61

The line zero sequence mutual impedance does not influence the measurement of the distance protection in a faulty circuit. This means that the reach of the underreaching distance protection zone is reduced if, due to operating conditions, the equivalent zero sequence impedance is set according to the conditions when the parallel system is out of operation and earthed at both ends.

7.1.4.1

Another complication that might occur depending on the topology is that the current from one end can have a reverse direction for fault on the protected line. For example, for faults at T the current from B might go in reverse direction from B to C depending on the system parameters (see the dotted line in figure 63), given that the distance protection in B to T will measure wrong direction.
In three-end application, depending on the source impedance behind the IEDs, the impedances of the protected object and the fault location, it might be necessary to accept zone 2 trip in one end or sequential trip in one end.
Generally for this type of application it is difficult to select settings of zone 1 that both gives overlapping of the zones with enough sensitivity without interference with other zone 1 settings, that is, without selectivity conflicts. Careful fault calculations are necessary to determine suitable settings and selection of proper scheme communication.
Fault resistance The performance of distance protection for single phase-to-earth faults is very important, because GUID-83E3E475-3243-4308-9A91-B8DD9B47C276 v4 normally more than 70% of the faults on transmission lines are single phase-to-earth faults. At these faults, the fault resistance is composed of three parts: arc resistance, resistance of a tower construction, and tower-footing resistance.The resistance is also depending on the presence of earth shield conductor at the top of the tower, connecting tower-footing resistance in parallel. The arc resistance can be calculated according to Warrington's formula:

Rarc

28707 × I1.4

EQUATION1456 V1 EN-US

(Equation 56)

where:

L

represents the length of the arc (in meters). This equation applies for the distance protection zone 1. Consider

approximately three times arc foot spacing for the zone 2 and wind speed of approximately 50 km/h

I

is the actual fault current in A.

In practice, the setting of fault resistance for both phase-to-earth RFPEZx and phase-to-phase RFPPZx should be as high as possible without interfering with the load impedance in order to obtain reliable fault detection.

GUID-BA20D421-4435-44CA-A6E9-743E461F8C59 v2

The settings for Distance measuring zones, quadrilateral characteristic (ZMFPDIS) are done in primary values. The instrument transformer ratio that has been set for the analog input card is used to automatically convert the measured secondary input signals to primary values used in ZMFPDIS .

The following basics must be considered, depending on application, when doing the setting calculations:

· Errors introduced by current and voltage instrument transformers, particularly under transient conditions.
· Inaccuracies in the line zero-sequence impedance data, and their effect on the calculated value of the earth-return compensation factor.
· The effect of infeed between the IED and the fault location, including the influence of different Z0/Z1 ratios of the various sources.
· The phase impedance of non transposed lines is not identical for all fault loops. The difference between the impedances for different phase-to-earth loops can be as large as 5-10% of the total line impedance.
· The effect of a load transfer between the IEDs of the protected fault resistance is considerable, the effect must be recognized.
· Zero-sequence mutual coupling from parallel lines.

Setting of zone 1

GUID-ABD9A3B1-E420-471E-A798-4A56371E715E v1

The different errors mentioned earlier usually require a limitation of the underreaching zone (normally zone 1) to 75 - 90% of the protected line.

In case of parallel lines, consider the influence of the mutual coupling according to section "Parallel line application with mutual coupling" and select the case(s) that are valid in the particular application. By proper setting it is possible to compensate for the cases when the parallel line is in operation, out of service and not earthed and out of service and earthed in both ends. The setting of earth-fault reach should be selected to be <95% also when parallel line is out of service and earthed at both ends (worst case).

GUID-8D7D4C9D-468B-465F-85D9-3D64500474DB v2

The first overreaching zone (normally zone 2) must detect faults on the whole protected line. Considering the different errors that might influence the measurement in the same way as for zone 1, it is necessary to increase the reach of the overreaching zone to at least 120% of the protected line. The zone 2 reach can be even higher if the fault infeed from adjacent lines at remote end is considerable higher than the fault current at the IED location.

The setting shall generally not exceed 80% of the following impedances:

· The impedance corresponding to the protected line, plus the first zone reach of the shortest adjacent line.
· The impedance corresponding to the protected line, plus the impedance of the maximum number of transformers operating in parallel on the bus at the remote end of the protected line.

Larger overreach than the mentioned 80% can often be acceptable due to fault current infeed from other lines. This requires however analysis by means of fault calculations.

If any of the above gives a zone 2 reach less than 120%, the time delay of zone 2 must be increased by approximately 200ms to avoid unwanted operation in cases when the telecommunication for the short adjacent line at remote end is down during faults. The zone 2 must not be reduced below 120% of the protected line section. The whole line must be covered under all conditions.

The requirement that the zone 2 shall not reach more than 80% of the shortest adjacent line at remote end is highlighted in the example below.

The reverse zone is applicable for purposes of scheme communication logic, current reversal logic, weak-end infeed logic, and so on. The same applies to the back-up protection of the bus bar or power transformers. It is necessary to secure, that it always covers the overreaching zone, used at the remote line IED for the telecommunication purposes.

Consider the possible enlarging factor that might exist due to fault infeed from adjacent lines. Equation 58 can be used to calculate the reach in reverse direction when the zone is used for blocking scheme, weak-end infeed, and so on.

7.1.4.7

The fault resistance for phase-to-phase faults is normally quite low compared to the fault resistance for phase-to-earth faults. To minimize the risk for overreaching, limit the setting of the zone1 reach in the resistive direction for phase-to-phase loop measurement based on equation 69.

RFPPZx  6  X1Zx
IECEQUATION2306 V3 EN-US

(Equation 69)

The setting XLd is primarily there to define the border between what is considered a fault and what is just normal operation. See figure 65 In this context, the main examples of normal operation are reactive load from reactive power compensation equipment or the capacitive charging of a long highvoltage power line. XLd needs to be set with some margin towards normal apparent reactance; not more than 90% of the said reactance or just as much as is needed from a zone reach point of view.
As with the settings RLdFw and RLdRv [2], XLd is representing a per-phase load impedance of a symmetrical star-coupled representation. For a symmetrical load or three-phase and phase-to-phase faults, this means per-phase, or positive-sequence, impedance. During a phase-to-earth fault, it means the per-loop impedance, including the earth return impedance.

Zone reach setting lower than minimum load impedance GUID-68C336F4-5285-4167-B3F8-B0963BD85439 v6
Even if the resistive reach of all protection zones is set lower than the lowest expected load impedance and there is no risk for load encroachment, it is still necessary to set RLdFw, RLdRv [3] and ArgLd according to the expected load situation, since these settings are used internally in the function as reference points to improve the performance of the phase selection.
The maximum permissible resistive reach for any zone must be checked to ensure that there is a sufficient setting margin between the boundary and the minimum load impedance. The minimum load impedance (/phase) is calculated with equation 70.

Zloadmin = -U-S---2-
EQUATION571 V1 EN-US

(Equation 70)

Where:

U

the minimum phase-to-phase voltage in kV

S

the maximum apparent power in MVA.

The load impedance [/phase] is a function of the minimum operation voltage and the maximum load current:

(Equation 71)

Minimum voltage Umin and maximum current Imax are related to the same operating conditions. Minimum load impedance occurs normally under emergency conditions.

As a safety margin, it is required to avoid load encroachment under three-phase conditions. To guarantee correct, healthy phase IED operation under combined heavy three-phase load and earth faults, both phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth fault operating characteristics should be considered.

Load impedance limitation with load encroachment

During the initial current change for phase-to-phase and for phase-to-earth faults, operation may be allowed also when the apparent impedance of the load encroachment element is located in the load area. This improves the dependability for fault at the remote end of the line during high load. Although it is not associated to any standard event, there is one potentially hazardous situation that should be considered. Should one phase of a parallel circuit open a single pole, even though there is no fault, and the load current of that phase increase, there is actually no way of distinguish this from a real fault with similar characteristics. Should this accidental event be given precaution, the phaseto-earth reach (RFPEZx) of all instantaneous zones has to be set below the emergency load for the pole-open situation. Again, this is only for the application where there is a risk that one breaker pole would open without a preceding fault. If this never happens, for example when there is no parallel circuit, there is no need to change any phase-to-earth reach according to the pole-open scenario.

GUID-9D65B411-6FE2-433B-AE6C-C6DD716D1181 v10

The ability for a specific loop and zone to issue a start or a trip is inhibited if the magnitude of the input current for this loop falls below the threshold value defined by these settings. The output of a phase-to-earth loop Ln is blocked if ILn < IminOpPE(Zx). In is the RMS value of the fundamental current in phase n.

The output of a phase-to-phase loop LmLn is blocked if ILmLn < IMinOpPP(Zx). ILmLn is the RMS value of the vector difference between phase currents Lm and Ln.

Both current limits IMinOpPEZx and IMinOpPPZx are automatically reduced to 75% of regular set values if the zone is set to operate in reverse direction, that is, OperationDir is set to Reverse.

OpModePPZx and OpModePEZx

These settings, two per zone (x=1-5, BU and RV), with options {Off, Quadrilateral, Mho, Offset}, are used to set the operation and characteristic for phase-to-earth and phase-to-phase faults, respectively.

For example, in one zone it is possible to choose Mho characteristic for the three Ph-Ph measuring loops and Quadrilateral characteristic for the three Ph-E measuring loops.

CVTtype
If possible, the type of capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) used for measurement should be identified. The alternatives are strongly related to the type of ferro-resonance suppression circuit included in the CVT. There are two main choices:

Passive type Any
None (Magnetic)

For CVTs that use a nonlinear component, like a saturable inductor, to limit overvoltages (caused by ferro-resonance). This component is practically idle during normal load and fault conditions, hence the name "passive." CVTs that have a high resistive burden to mitigate ferro-resonance also fall into this category.
This option is primarily related to the so-called active type CVT, which uses a set of reactive components to form a filter circuit that essentially attenuates frequencies other than the nominal to restrain the ferro-resonance. The name "active" refers to this circuit always being involved during transient conditions, regardless of the voltage level. This option should also be used for the types that do not fall under the other two categories, for example, CVTs with power electronic damping devices, or if the type cannot be identified at all.
This option should be selected if the voltage transformer is fully magnetic.

INReleasePE
This setting opens an opportunity to enable phase-to-earth measurement for phase-to-phase-earth faults. It determines the level of residual current (3I0) above which phase-to-earth measurement is activated (and phase-to-phase measurement is blocked). The relations are defined with the equation.

By default, this setting is set excessively high to always enable phase-to-phase measurement for phase-to-phase-earth faults. This default setting value must be maintained unless there are very specific reasons to enable phase-to-earth measurement. Even with the default setting value, phaseto-earth measurement is activated whenever appropriate, like in the case of simultaneous faults: two earth faults at the same time, one each on the two circuits of a double line.

One specific situation where the INReleasePE setting should be altered is for cross-country faults in high impedance earthed networks, in order to make sure that operation is phase-to-earth. This is particularly important when using phase preference logic, since it is only working per phase, not for phase-to-phase measurement. The limit should be set so that it will be exceeded during a crosscountry fault.
OpModeLoadComp
The load compensation is mitigating the effect of load current on the estimated reactance of the fault loop. For heavily loaded lines where the fault resistance can be high, this may be essential for avoiding overreach and partly also underreach.

On the other hand, turning the load compensation off could improve predictability in special situations. Particularly when coordinating with other distance protection functions, which lacks load compensation.

No zone Only zone 1 All zones

No zone will have load compensation Only Zone 1 will have load compensation All zones will have load compensation (default option)

tTauDC

May be used to fine tune the phasor filter characteristic for the exponentially decaying DC component in fault currents, with the aim of improving operate time (in the order of a few milliseconds).
If the additional time is spent to do this, it should preferably be done in connection with extensive testing based on power system simulations, in order to see the overall effect.
If such testing is not feasible, it is best to let the parameter remain at its default value of 999.999 s. This will deliver the operate time and performance presented in the Technical data.

Since the actual time constant may vary depending on where the fault happens, it is best to focus on faults near the reach boundary of one of the zones, where it will have the biggest effect. This would typically be Zone 2, when used in a transfer trip scheme. Always use the maximum value among the considered time constants.

General

Various changes in power system may cause oscillations of rotating units. The most typical reasons for these oscillations are big changes in load or changes in power system configuration caused by different faults and their clearance. As the rotating masses strive to find a stable operate condition, they oscillate with damped oscillations until they reach the final stability.

The extent of the oscillations depends on the extent of the disturbances and on the natural stability of the system.

The oscillation rate depends also on the inertia of the system and on the total system impedance between different generating units. These oscillations cause changes in phase and amplitude of the voltage difference between the oscillating generating units in the power system, which reflects further on in oscillating power flow between two parts of the system - the power swings from one part to another - and vice versa.

Distance IEDs located in interconnected networks see these power swings as the swinging of the measured impedance in relay points. The measured impedance varies with time along a locus in an impedance plane, see figure 68. This locus can enter the operating characteristic of a distance protection and cause, if no preventive measures have been considered, its unwanted operation.

Basic characteristics

M13874-11 v6

Power swing detection function (ZMRPSB) reliably detects power swings with periodic time of swinging as low as 200 ms (which means slip frequency as high as 10% of the rated frequency on the 50 Hz basis). It detects the swings under normal system operation conditions as well as during the dead time of a single-pole automatic reclosing cycle.

ZMRPSB function is able to secure selective operation for internal faults during power swing. The operation of the distance protection function remains stable for external faults during the power swing condition, even with the swing (electrical) centre located on the protected power line.

The operating characteristic of the ZMRPSB function is easily adjustable to the selected impedance operating characteristics of the corresponding controlled distance protection zones as well as to the maximum possible load conditions of the protected power lines. See the corresponding description in "Technical reference manual" for the IEDs.

The outer boundary of oscillation detection characteristic in forward direction RLdOutFw should be set with certain safety margin KL compared to the minimum expected load resistance RLmin. When the exact value of the minimum load resistance is not known, the following approximations may be considered for lines with a rated voltage of 400 kV:

· KL = 0.9 for lines longer than 150 km · KL = 0.85 for lines between 80 and 150 km · KL = 0.8 for lines shorter than 80 km

Multiply the required resistance for the same safety factor KL with the ratio between actual voltage and 400kV when the rated voltage of the line under consideration is higher than 400kV. The outer boundary RLdOutFw obtains in this particular case its value according to equation 85.

It is a general recommendation to set the inner boundary RLdInFw of the oscillation detection characteristic to 80% or less of its outer boundary. Take special care during the settings of timers tP1 and tP2 which is included in the oscillation detection logic. This requires the maximum permitted setting values of factor kLdRFw = 0.8. Equation 86 presents the corresponding maximum possible value of RLdInFw.

RLdInFw = kLdRFw × RLdOutFw = 98.8W

conditions, which dictate motoring and generating types of oscillations, require different values. This decision must be made on basis of possible system contingency studies especially in cases when the direction of transmitted power may change fast in short periods of time. It is recommended to use different setting groups for operating conditions, which are changing only between different periods of year (summer, winter).
System studies should determine the settings for the hold timer tH. The purpose of this timer is to secure continuous output signal from the Power swing detection function (ZMRPSB) during the power swing, even after the transient impedance leaves ZMRPSB operating characteristic and is expected to return within a certain time due to continuous swinging. Consider the minimum possible speed of power swinging in a particular system.
The tR1 inhibit timer delays the influence of the detected residual current on the inhibit criteria for ZMRPSB. It prevents operation of the function for short transients in the residual current measured by the IED.
The tR2 inhibit timer disables the output START signal from ZMRPSB function, if the measured impedance remains within ZMRPSB operating area for a time longer than the set tR2 value. This time delay was usually set to approximately two seconds in older power-swing devices.
The setting of the tEF timer must cover, with sufficient margin, the opening time of a circuit breaker and the dead-time of a single-phase autoreclosing together with the breaker closing time.

Under balanced and stable conditions, a generator operates with a constant rotor (power) angle, delivering an active electrical power to the power system, which is equal to the mechanical input power on the generator axis, minus the small losses in the generator. In the case of a three-phase fault electrically close to the generator, no active power can be delivered. Almost all mechanical power from the turbine is under this condition used to accelerate the moving parts, that is, the rotor and the turbine. If the fault is not cleared quickly, the generator may not remain in synchronism after the fault has been cleared. If the generator loses synchronism (Out-of-step) with the rest of the system, pole slipping occurs. This is characterized by a wild flow of synchronizing power, which reverses in direction twice for every slip cycle.

The out-of-step phenomenon occurs when a phase opposition occurs periodically between different parts of a power system. This is often shown in a simplified way as two equivalent generators connected to each other via an equivalent transmission line and the phase difference between the equivalent generators is 180 electrical degrees.

The centre of electromechanical oscillation

The center of the electromechanical oscillation can be in the generator unit (or generator-transformer unit) or outside, somewhere in the power system. When the center of the electromechanical oscillation occurs within the generator it is essential to trip the generator immediately. If the center of the electromechanical oscillation is outside any of the generators in the power system, the power system should be split into two different parts; so each part may have the ability to restore stable operating conditions. This is sometimes called "islanding". The objective of islanding is to prevent an out-of-step condition from spreading to the healthy parts of the power system. For this purpose, uncontrolled tripping of interconnections or generators must be prevented. It is evident that a reasonable strategy for out-of-step relaying as well as, appropriate choice of other protection relays, their locations and settings require detailed stability studies for each particular power system and/or subsystem. On the other hand, if severe swings occur, from which a fast recovery is improbable, an attempt should be made to isolate the affected area from the rest of the system by opening connections at predetermined points. The electrical system parts swinging to each other can be separated with the lines closest to the center of the power swing allowing the two systems to be stable as separated islands. The main problem involved with systemic islanding of the power system is the difficulty, in some cases, of predicting the optimum splitting points, because they depend on the fault location and the pattern of generation and load at the respective time. It is hardly possible to state general rules for out-of-step relaying, because they shall be defined according to the particular design and needs of each electrical network. The reason for the existence of two zones of operation is selectivity, required for successful islanding. If there are several out-of-step relays in the power system, then selectivity between separate relays is obtained by the relay reach (for example zone 1) rather then by time grading.

The out-of-step condition of a generator can be caused by different reasons. Sudden events in an electrical power system such as large changes in load, fault occurrence or slow fault clearance, can cause power oscillations, that are called power swings. In a non-recoverable situation, the power swings become so severe that the synchronism is lost: this condition is called pole slipping.

Undamped oscillations occur in power systems, where generator groups at different locations are not strongly electrically connected and can oscillate against each other. If the connection between the generators is too weak the magnitude of the oscillations may increase until the angular stability is lost. More often, a three-phase short circuit (unsymmetrical faults are much less dangerous in this respect) may occur in the external power grid, electrically close to the generator. If the fault clearing time is too long, the generator accelerates so much, that the synchronism cannot be maintained even if the power system is restored to the pre-fault configuration, see Figure 72.

A generator out-of-step condition, with successive pole slips, can result in damages to the generator, shaft and turbine.

· Stator windings are under high stress due to electrodynamic forces. · The current levels during an out-of-step condition can be higher than those during a three-phase
fault and, therefore, there is significant torque impact on the generator-turbine shaft. · In asynchronous operation there is induction of currents in parts of the generator normally not
carrying current, thus resulting in increased heating. The consequence can be damages on insulation and iron core of both rotor and stator.

Measurement of the magnitude, direction and rate-of-change of load impedance relative to a generator's terminals provides a convenient and generally reliable means of detecting whether poleslipping is taking place. The out-of-step protection should protect a generator or motor (or two weakly connected power systems) against pole-slipping with severe consequences for the machines and stability of the power system. In particular it should:

1. Remain stable for normal steady state load. 2. Distinguish between stable and unstable rotor swings. 3. Locate electrical centre of a swing. 4. Detect the first and the subsequent pole-slips. 5. Prevent stress on the circuit breaker. 6. Distinguish between generator and motor out-of-step conditions. 7. Provide information for post-disturbance analysis.

Settings ForwardR, ForwardX, ReverseR, and ReverseX.
· A precondition in order to be able to use the Out-of-step protection and construct a suitable lens characteristic is that the power system in which the Out-of-step protection is installed, is modeled as a two-machine equivalent system, or as a single machine ­ infinite bus equivalent power system. Then the impedances from the position of the Out-of-step protection in the direction of the normal load flow can be taken as forward.
· The settings ForwardX, ForwardR, ReverseX and ReverseR must, if possible, take into account, the post-disturbance configuration of the simplified power system. This is not always easy, in particular with islanding. But for the two machine model as in Table 16, the most probable scenario is that only one line is in service after the fault on one power line has been cleared by line protections. The settings ForwardX, ForwardR must therefore take into account the reactance and resistance of only one power line.
· All the reactances and resistances (ForwardX, ForwardR, ReverseX and ReverseR) must be referred to the voltage level where the Out-of-step relay is installed; for the example case shown in Table 16, this is the generator nominal voltage UBase = 13.8 kV. This affects all the forward reactances and resistances in Table 16.
· All reactances and resistances must be finally expressed in percent of ZBase, where ZBase is for the example shown in Table 16 the base impedance of the generator, ZBase = 0.9522 . Observe that the power transformer's base impedance is different, ZBase = 0.6348 . Observe that this latter power transformer ZBase = 0.6348  must be used when the power transformer reactance and resistance are transformed.

Section 7 Impedance protection

· For the synchronous machines as the generator in Table 16, the transient reactance Xd' shall be used. This due to the relatively slow electromechanical oscillations under out-of-step conditions.
· Sometimes the equivalent resistance of the generator is difficult to get. A good estimate is 1 percent of transient reactance Xd'. No great error is done if this resistance is set to zero (0).
· Inclination of the Z-line, connecting points SE and RE, against the real (R) axis can be calculated as arctan ((ReverseX + ForwardX) / (ReverseR + ForwardR)), and is for the case in Table 16 equal to 84.55 degrees, which is a typical value.
Other settings:
· ReachZ1: Determines the reach of the zone 1 in the forward direction. Determines the position of the X-line which delimits zone 1 from zone 2. Set in % of ForwardX. In the case shown in Table 16, where the reactance of the unit step-up power transformer is 11.32 % of the total ForwardX, the setting ReachZ1 should be set to ReachZ1 = 12 %. This means that the generator ­ unit step-up transformer unit would be in the zone 1. In other words, if the centre of oscillation would be found to be within the zone 1, only a very limited number of pole-slips would be allowed, usually only one.
· StartAngle: Angle between the two equivalent rotors induced voltages (that is, the angle between the two internal induced voltages E1 and E2 in an equivalent simplified two-machine system) to get the start signal, in degrees. The width of the lens characteristic is determined by the value of this setting. Whenever the complex impedance Z(R, X) enters the lens, this is a sign of instability. The angle recommended is 110 or 120 degrees, because it is at this rotor angle where problems with dynamic stability usually begin. Power angle 120 degrees is sometimes called "the angle of no return" because if this angle is reached under generator swings, the generator is most likely to lose synchronism. When the complex impedance Z(R, X) enters the lens the start output signal (START) is set to 1 (TRUE).
· TripAngle: The setting TripAngle specifies the value of the rotor angle where the trip command is sent to the circuit breaker in order to minimize the stress to which the breaker is exposed when breaking the currents. The range of this value is from 15° to 90°, with higher values suitable for longer breaker opening times. If a breaker opening is initiated at for example 60°, then the circuit breaker opens its contacts closer to 0°, where the currents are smaller. If the breaker opening time tBreaker is known, then it is possible to calculate more precisely when opening must be initiated in order to open the circuit breaker contacts as close as possible to 0°, where the currents are smallest. If the breaker opening time tBreaker is specified (that is, higher than the default 0.0 s, where 0.0 s means that tBreaker is unknown), then this alternative way to determine the moment when a command to open the breaker is sent, is automatically chosen instead of the more approximate method, based on the TripAngle.
· tReset: Interval of time since the last pole-slip detected, when the Out-of-step protection is reset. If there is no more pole slips detected under the time interval specified by tReset since the previous one, the function is reset. All outputs are set to 0 (FALSE). If no pole slip at all is detected under interval of time specified by tReset since the start signal has been set (for example a stable case with synchronism retained), the function is as well reset, which includes the start output signal (START), which is reset to 0 (FALSE) after tReset interval of time has elapsed. However, the measurements of analogue quantities such as R, X, P, Q, and so on continue without interruptions. Recommended setting of tReset is in the range of 6 to 12 seconds.
· NoOfSlipsZ1: Maximum number of pole slips with centre of electromechanical oscillation within zone 1 required for a trip. Usually, NoOfSlipsZ1= 1.
· NoOfSlipsZ2: Maximum number of pole slips with centre of electromechanical oscillation within zone 2 required for a trip. The reason for the existence of two zones of operation is selectivity, required particularly for successful islanding. If there are several pole slip (out-of-step) relays in the power system, then selectivity between relays is obtained by the relay reach (for example zone 1) rather then by time grading. In a system, as in Table 16, the number of allowed pole slips in zone 2 can be the same as in zone 1. Recommended value: NoOfSlipsZ2 = 2 or 3.
· Operation: With the setting Operation OOSPPAM function can be set On/Off. · OperationZ1: Operation zone 1 On, Off. If OperationZ1 = Off, all pole-slips with centre of the
electromechanical oscillation within zone 1 are ignored. Default setting = On. More likely to be used is the option to extend zone 1 so that zone 1 even covers zone 2. This feature is activated by the input to extend the zone 1 (EXTZ1).

· OperationZ2: Operation zone 2 On, Off. If OperationZ1 = Off, all pole-slips with centre of the electromechanical oscillation within zone 2 are ignored. Default setting = On.
· tBreaker: Circuit breaker opening time. Use the default value tBreaker = 0.000 s if unknown. If the value is known, then a value higher than 0.000 is specified, for example tBreaker = 0.040 s: the out-of-step function gives a trip command approximately 0.040 seconds before the currents reach their minimum value. This in order to decrease the stress imposed to the circuit breaker.
· GlobalBaseSel: This setting identifies the Global Base Values Group where UBase and IBase are defined. In particular: UBase is the voltage at the point where the Out-of-step protection is connected. If the protection is connected to the generator output terminals, then UBase is the nominal (rated) phase to phase voltage of the protected generator. All the resistances and reactances are measured and displayed referred to voltage Ubase. Observe that ReverseX, ForwardX, ReverseR, and ForwardR must be given referred to UBase. IBase is the protected generator nominal (rated) current, if the Out-of-step protection belongs to a generator protection scheme.
· InvertCTCurr: If the currents fed to the Out-of-step protection are measured on the protected generator neutral side then inversion is not necessary (InvertCTCurr = Off), provided that the CT's star point earthing complies with Hitachi Energy recommendations, as it is shown in Table 16. If the currents fed to the Out-of-step protection are measured on the protected generator terminals side, then invertion is necessary (InvertCTCurr = On), provided that the CT's star point earthing complies with Hitachi Energy recommendations, as it is shown in Table 16.

Automatic switch onto fault logic, voltage- and current-based function ZCVPSOF is a complementary function to impedance measuring functions, but may use the information from such functions.

With ZCVPSOF, a fast trip is achieved for a fault on the whole line when the line is being energized. The ZCVPSOF tripping is generally non-directional to secure a trip at fault situations where directional information cannot be established, for example, due to lack of polarizing voltage when a line potential transformer is used.

Section 7 Impedance protection

7.4.4

Automatic activation based on dead-line detection can only be used when the voltage transformer is situated on the line side of a circuit breaker.
When line side voltage transformers are used, the use of the nondirectional distance zones secures switch onto fault tripping for close-in three-phase short circuits. The use of the nondirectional distance zones also gives a fast fault clearance when energizing a bus from the line with a short circuit fault on the bus.
Other protection functions like time-delayed phase and zero-sequence overcurrent function can be connected to ZCVPSOF to increase the dependability in the scheme.
When the voltage transformers are situated on the bus side, the automatic switch onto fault detection based on dead-line detection is not possible. In such cases the deadline detection is bypassed using the breaker closing status and the switch onto fault logic is activated.

Setting guidelines

M13855-4 v10

The parameters for automatic switch onto fault logic, voltage- and current-based function ZCVPSOF are set via the local HMI or Protection and Control Manager PCM600.

The distance protection zone used for instantaneous trip by ZCVPSOF has to be set to cover the entire protected line with a safety margin of minimum 20%.

Common base IED values for primary current (IBase), primary voltage (UBase) and primary power (SBase) are set in the global base values for settings function GBASVAL.

GlobalBaseSel is used to select GBASVAL for reference of base values.

Operation: The operation of ZCVPSOF is by default set to On. The parameter must be set to Off if ZCVPSOF is not to be used.

IPh< is used to set the current level for the detection of a dead line. IPh< is, by default, set to 20% of IBase. It shall be set with a sufficient margin (15­20%) below the minimum expected load current. In many cases, the minimum load current of a line is close to zero and even can be zero. The operating value must exceed the maximum charging current of an overhead line when only one phase is disconnected (mutual coupling in the other phases).

UPh< is used to set the voltage level for the detection of a dead line. UPh< is, by default, set to 70% of UBase. This is a suitable setting in most cases, but it is recommended to check the suitability in the actual application.

AutoInitMode: automatic activating of ZCVPSOF is, by default, set to DLD disabled, which means the dead-line logic detection is disabled. If an automatic activation of the dead-line detection is required, the parameter AutoInitMode has to be set to either Voltage, Current or Current & Voltage.

When AutoInitMode is set to Voltage, the dead-line detection logic checks that the three-phase voltages are lower than the set UPh< level.

When AutoInitMode is set to Current, the dead-line detection logic checks if the three-phase currents are lower than the set IPh< level.

When AutoInitMode is set to Current & Voltage, the dead-line detection logic checks that both threephase currents and three-phase voltages are lower than the set IPh< and UPh< levels.

Otherwise, the logic is activated by an external BC input.

tSOTF: the drop delay of ZCVPSOF is, by default, set to 1.0 seconds, which is suitable for most applications.

Section 7 Impedance protection

1MRK505393-UEN Rev. K

tDLD: The time delay for activating ZCVPSOF by the internal dead-line detection is, by default, set to 0.2 seconds. It is suitable in most applications. The delay shall not be set too short to avoid unwanted activations during transients in the system.
Mode: The operation of ZCVPSOF has three modes for defining the criteria for tripping. The setting of Mode is, by default, UILevel, which means that the tripping criterion is based on the setting of IPh< and UPh<. The choice of UILevel gives a faster and more sensitive operation of the function, which is important for reducing the stress that might occur when energizing onto a fault. However, the voltage recovery can be slow in some systems when energizing the line. Therefore, if the timer tDuration is set too short, ZCVPSOF can interpret this as a fault and release a trip.
When Mode is set to Impedance, the operate criterion is based on the BC input (breaker closing), which can be the start of the overreaching zone from the impedance zone measurement or a tOperate-delayed START_DLYD input. A nondirectional output signal should be used from an overreaching zone. The selection of the Impedance mode gives increased security.
When Mode is set to UILvl&Imp, the condition for tripping is an ORed between UILevel and Impedance.
tDuration: The setting of the timer for the release of UILevel is, by default, 0.02 seconds, which has proven to be suitable in most cases from field experience. If a shorter time delay is to be set, it is necessary to consider the voltage recovery time during line energization.
tOperate: The time delay for the START_DLYD input to activate TRIP when Mode is set to Impedance or UILvl&Imp is, by default, set to 0.03 seconds.

Long transmission lines often transfer great quantities of electric power from generation to consumption areas. The unbalance of the produced and consumed electric power at each end of the transmission line is very large. This means that a fault on the line can easily endanger the stability of a complete system.

The transient stability of a power system depends mostly on three parameters (at constant amount of transmitted electric power):

· The type of the fault. Three-phase faults are the most dangerous, because no power can be transmitted through the fault point during fault conditions.
· The magnitude of the fault current. A high fault current indicates that the decrease of transmitted power is high.
· The total fault clearing time. The phase angles between the EMFs of the generators on both sides of the transmission line increase over the permitted stability limits if the total fault clearing time, which consists of the protection operating time and the breaker opening time, is too long.

The fault current on long transmission lines depends mostly on the fault position and decreases with the distance from the generation point. For this reason the protection must operate very quickly for faults very close to the generation (and relay) point, for which very high fault currents are characteristic.

The instantaneous phase overcurrent protection PHPIOC can operate in 10 ms for faults characterized by very high currents.

Setting guidelines IP14979-1 v1
The parameters for instantaneous phase overcurrent protection PHPIOC are set via the local HMI or M12915-4 v10 PCM600.
This protection function must operate only in a selective way. So check all system and transient conditions that could cause its unwanted operation.
Only detailed network studies can determine the operating conditions under which the highest possible fault current is expected on the line. In most cases, this current appears during three-phase fault conditions. But also examine single-phase-to-earth and two-phase-to-earth conditions.
Also study transients that could cause a high increase of the line current for short times. A typical example is a transmission line with a power transformer at the remote end, which can cause high

OpMode: This parameter can be set to 2 out of 3 or 1 out of 3. The setting controls the minimum number of phase currents that must be larger than the set operate current IP>> for operation. Normally this parameter is set to 1 out of 3and will thus detect all fault types. If the protection is to be used mainly for multi phase faults, 2 out of 3 should be chosen.

With reference to Figure 73, apply a fault in B and then calculate the current through-fault phase current IfB. The calculation should be done using the minimum source impedance values for ZA and the maximum source impedance values for ZB in order to get the maximum through fault current from A to B.

In case of parallel lines, the influence of the induced current from the parallel line to the protected line has to be considered. One example is given in Figure 76, where the two lines are connected to the same busbars. In this case the influence of the induced fault current from the faulty line (line 1) to the healthy line (line 2) is considered together with the two through fault currents IfA and IfB mentioned previously. The maximal influence from the parallel line for the IED in Figure 76 will be with a fault at the C point with the C breaker open.

A fault in C has to be applied, and then the maximum current seen from the IED (IM ) on the healthy line (this applies for single-phase-to-earth and two-phase-to-earth faults) is calculated.

Directional phase overcurrent protection, four steps OC4PTOC is used in several applications in the power system. Some applications are:

· Short circuit protection of feeders in distribution and subtransmission systems. Normally these feeders have a radial structure.
· Back-up short circuit protection of transmission lines. · Back-up short circuit protection of power transformers. · Short circuit protection of different kinds of equipment connected to the power system such as;
shunt capacitor banks, shunt reactors, motors and others. · Back-up short circuit protection of power generators.

In many applications several steps with different current pickup levels and time delays are needed. OC4PTOC can have up to four different, individually settable steps. The following options are possible:

Non-directional / Directional function: In most applications the non-directional functionality is used. This is mostly the case when no fault current can be fed from the protected object itself. In order to achieve both selectivity and fast fault clearance, the directional function can be necessary.

8.2.4

If VT inputs are not available or not connected, the setting parameter DirModex (x = step 1, 2, 3 or 4) shall be left to the default value Non-directional.

Choice of time delay characteristics: There are several types of time delay characteristics available such as definite time delay and different types of inverse time delay characteristics. The selectivity between different overcurrent protections is normally enabled by co-ordination between the function time delays of the different protections. To enable optimal co-ordination between all overcurrent protections, they should have the same time delay characteristic. Therefore, a wide range of standardized inverse time characteristics are available for IEC and ANSI. It is also possible to tailor make the inverse time characteristic.
Normally, it is required that the phase overcurrent protection shall reset as fast as possible when the current level gets lower than the operation level. In some cases some sort of delayed reset is required. Therefore, different kinds of reset characteristics can be used.
For some protection applications, there can be a need to change the current pick-up level for some time. A typical case is when the protection will measure the current to a large motor. At the start up sequence of a motor the start current can be significantly larger than the rated current of the motor. Therefore, there is a possibility to give a setting of a multiplication factor to the current pick-up level. This multiplication factor is activated from a binary input signal to the function.
Power transformers can have a large inrush current, when being energized. This phenomenon is due to saturation of the transformer magnetic core during parts of the period. There is a risk that inrush current will reach levels above the pick-up current of the phase overcurrent protection. The inrush current has a large 2nd harmonic content. This can be used to avoid unwanted operation of the protection function. Therefore, OC4PTOC has a possibility of 2nd harmonic restrain if the level of 2nd harmonic current reaches a value above a set percent of the fundamental current.
The phase overcurrent protection is often used as a protection for two and three phase short circuits. In some cases, it is not wanted to detect single-phase earth faults by the phase overcurrent protection. This fault type is detected and cleared after operation of earth fault protection. Therefore, it is possible to make a choice how many phases, at minimum, that have to have current above the pick-up level, to enable operation. If set 1 of 3 it is sufficient to have high current in one phase only. If set 2 of 3 or 3 of 3 single-phase earth faults are not detected.

Setting guidelines

IP14982-1 v1 M12982-4 v15

When inverse time overcurrent characteristic is selected, the operate time of the stage will be the sum of the inverse time delay and the set definite time delay. Thus, if only the inverse time delay is required, it is important to set the definite time delay for that stage to zero.

The parameters for the directional phase overcurrent protection, four steps OC4PTOC are set via the local HMI or PCM600.

The following settings can be done for OC4PTOC.

Common base IED values for the primary current (IBase), primary voltage (UBase) and primary power (SBase) are set in global base values for settings function GBASVAL.

GlobalBaseSel: Selects the global base value group used by the function to define IBase, UBase and SBase. Note that this function will only use IBase value.

MeasType: Selection of discrete Fourier filtered (DFT) or true RMS filtered (RMS) signals. RMS is used when the harmonic contents are to be considered, for example in applications with shunt capacitors.

Operation: The protection can be set to On or Off.

Directional phase overcurrent protection, four steps can be used in different ways, depending on the application where the protection is used. A general description is given below.

The operating current setting of the inverse time protection, or the lowest current step of the definite time protection, must be defined so that the highest possible load current does not cause protection operation. The protection reset current must also be considered so that a short peak of overcurrent does not cause the operation of a protection even when the overcurrent has ceased. This phenomenon is described in Figure 79.

In most cases, the setting values are updated once every five years or less often. Investigate the maximum load current that the equipment on the line can withstand. Study components, such as line conductors, current transformers, circuit breakers, and disconnectors. The manufacturer of the equipment normally gives the maximum thermal load current of the equipment.

The maximum load current on the line has to be estimated. There is also a demand that all faults within the zone that the protection shall cover must be detected by the phase overcurrent protection. The minimum fault current Iscmin to be detected by the protection must be calculated. Taking this value as a base, the highest pickup current setting can be written according to Equation 106.

The high current function of the overcurrent protection, which only has a short-delay trip time, must be given a current setting so that the protection is selective to other protection functions in the power system. It is desirable to have rapid tripping of faults within a large part of the power system to be protected by the protection (primary protected zone). A fault current calculation gives the largest current of faults, Iscmax, at the most remote part of the primary protected zone. The risk of transient overreach must be considered, due to a possible DC component of the short circuit current. The lowest current setting of the fastest stage can be written according to

considered to be less than 1.05

Iscmax is the largest fault current at a fault at the most remote point of the primary protection zone.

The operate time of the phase overcurrent protection has to be chosen so that the fault time is short enough that the protected equipment will not be destroyed due to thermal overload while, at the

same time, selectivity is assured. For overcurrent protection in a radial fed network, the time setting can be chosen in a graphical way. This is mostly used in the case of inverse time overcurrent protection. Figure 80 shows how the time-versus-current curves are plotted in a diagram. The time setting is chosen to get the shortest fault time with maintained selectivity. Selectivity is assured if the time difference between the curves is larger than a critical time difference.

The operation time can be set individually for each overcurrent protection.

To assure selectivity between different protection functions in the radial network, there has to be a minimum time difference Dt between the time delays of two protections. To determine the shortest possible time difference, the operation time of the protection, the breaker opening time and the protection resetting time must be known. These time delays can vary significantly between different protective equipment. The following time delays can be estimated:

Protection operation time: 15-60 ms

Protection resetting time: 15-60 ms

Breaker opening time:

20-120 ms

Example for time coordination
Assume two substations A and B directly connected to each other via one line, as shown in the Figure 81. Consider a fault located at another line from the station B. The fault current to the overcurrent protection of IED B1 has a magnitude so that the overcurrent protection will start and subsequently trip, and the overcurrent protection of IED A1 must have a delayed operation in order to avoid maloperation. The sequence of events during the fault can be described using a time axis shown in Figure 81.

To ensure that the overcurrent protection at IED A1 is selective to the overcurrent protection at IED B1, the minimum time difference must be larger than the time t3. There are uncertainties in the values of protection operation time, breaker opening time and protection resetting time. Therefore a safety margin has to be included. With normal values the needed time difference can be calculated according to Equation 109.

In many applications, when fault current is limited to a defined value by the object impedance, an instantaneous earth-fault protection can provide fast and selective tripping.

The Instantaneous residual overcurrent EFPIOC, which can operate in 15 ms (50 Hz nominal system frequency) for faults characterized by very high currents, is included in the IED.

Setting guidelines IP14985-1 v1
The parameters for the Instantaneous residual overcurrent protection EFPIOC are set via the local MM1127276262-4-4 v24 HMI or PCM600.
Some guidelines for the choice of setting parameter for EFPIOC is given.
Common base IED values for primary current (IBase), primary voltage (UBase) and primary power M12762-6 v9 (SBase) are set in the global base values for settings function GBASVAL.
GlobalBaseSel: To select GBASVAL function for reference of base values.
The basic requirement is to assure selectivity, that is EFPIOC shall not be allowed to operate for faults at other objects than the protected object (line).
For a normal line in a meshed system single phase-to-earth faults and phase-to-phase-to-earth faults shall be calculated as shown in Figure 82 and Figure 83. The residual currents (3I0) to the protection are calculated. For a fault at the remote line end this fault current is IfB. In this calculation the operational state with high source impedance ZA and low source impedance ZB should be used. For the fault at the home busbar this fault current is IfA. In this calculation the operational state with low source impedance ZA and high source impedance ZB should be used.

Application

M12509-12 v11

The directional residual overcurrent protection, four steps EF4PTOC is used in several applications in the power system. Some applications are:

· Earth-fault protection of feeders in effectively earthed distribution and subtransmission systems. Normally these feeders have radial structure.
· Back-up earth-fault protection of transmission lines. · Sensitive earth-fault protection of transmission lines. EF4PTOC can have better sensitivity to
detect resistive phase-to-earth-faults compared to distance protection. · Back-up earth-fault protection of power transformers. · Earth-fault protection of different kinds of equipment connected to the power system such as
shunt capacitor banks, shunt reactors and others.

In many applications, several steps with different current operating levels and time delays are needed. EF4PTOC can have up to four, individual settable steps. The flexibility of each step of EF4PTOC is great. The following options are possible:

Non-directional/Directional function: In some applications the non-directional functionality is used. This is mostly the case when no fault current can be fed from the protected object itself. In order to achieve both selectivity and fast fault clearance, the directional function can be necessary. This can be the case for earth-fault protection in meshed and effectively earthed transmission systems. The directional residual overcurrent protection is also well suited to operate in teleprotection communication schemes, which enables fast clearance of earth faults on transmission lines. The directional function uses the polarizing quantity as decided by setting. Voltage polarizing is the most commonly used, but alternatively current polarizing where currents in transformer neutrals providing the neutral source (ZN) is used to polarize (IN · ZN) the function. Dual polarizing, where the sum of both voltage and current components is allowed to polarize can also be selected.

Choice of time characteristics: There are several types of time characteristics available such as definite time delay and different types of inverse time characteristics. The selectivity between different overcurrent protections is normally enabled by co-ordination between the operate time of the different protections. To enable optimal co-ordination all overcurrent protections, to be co-ordinated against each other, should have the same time characteristic. Therefore a wide range of standardized inverse time characteristics are available for IEC and ANSI.

It is also possible to tailor make the inverse time characteristic.
Normally it is required that EF4PTOC shall reset as fast as possible when the current level gets lower than the operation level. In some cases some sort of delayed reset is required. Therefore different kinds of reset characteristics can be used.
For some protection applications, there can be a need to change the current operating level for some time. Therefore, there is a possibility to give a setting of a multiplication factor INxMult to the residual current pick-up level. This multiplication factor is activated from a binary input signal ENMULTx to the function.
Power transformers can have a large inrush current, when being energized. This inrush current can produce residual current component. The phenomenon is due to saturation of the transformer magnetic core during parts of the cycle. There is a risk that inrush current will give a residual current that reaches level above the operating current of the residual overcurrent protection. The inrush current has a large second harmonic content. This can be used to avoid unwanted operation of the protection. Therefore, EF4PTOC has a possibility of second harmonic restrain if the level of 2nd harmonic current reaches a value above a set percent of the fundamental current.
Phase selection element also provides fast and reliable faulty phase identification for phase selective tripping and subsequent reclosing during earth fault. Earth fault protection and Phase selection must always be blocked while the single phase dead time is running.

Setting guidelines

IP14988-1 v1 M15282-3 v14

When inverse time over-current characteristic is selected, the operate time of the stage will be the sum of the inverse time delay and the set definite time delay. Thus, if only the inverse time delay is required, it is important to set the definite time delay for that stage to zero.

The parameters for the four step residual over-current protection are set via the local HMI or PCM600. The following settings can be done for the function.

Common base IED values for the primary current (IBase), primary voltage (UBase) and primary power (SBase) are set in global base values for settings function GBASVAL.

GlobalBaseSel: Selects the global base value group used by the function to define IBase, UBase and SBase. Note that this function will only use IBase value.

Normally voltage polarizing from the internally calculated residual sum or an external open delta is used.

Current polarization is useful when the local source is strong and a high sensitivity is required. In such cases the polarizing voltage (3U0) can be below 1% and it is then necessary to use current polarization or dual polarization. Multiply the required set current (primary) with the minimum impedance (ZNpol) and check that the percentage of the phase-to-earth voltage is definitely higher than 1% (minimum 3U0>UPolMin setting) as a verification.

RNPol, XNPol: The zero-sequence source is set in primary ohms as base for the current polarization. The polarizing voltage is then achieved as 3I0 · ZNpol. The ZNpol can be defined as (ZS1-ZS0)/3,

that is the earth return impedance of the source behind the protection. The maximum earth-fault current at the local source can be used to calculate the value of ZN as U/(3 · 3I0) Typically, the minimum ZNPol (3 · zero sequence source) is set. The setting is in primary ohms.

The appropriate signal should be configured to the communication scheme block.

2nd harmonic restrain

M15282-90 v7

If a power transformer is energized there is a risk that the current transformer core will saturate during part of the period, resulting in a transformer inrush current. This will give a declining residual current in the network, as the inrush current is deviating between the phases. There is a risk that the residual over-current function will give an unwanted trip. The inrush current has a relatively large ratio
of 2nd harmonic component. This component can be used to create a restrain signal to prevent this unwanted operation.

At current transformer saturation a false residual current can be measured by the protection. Here the 2nd harmonic restrain can prevent unwanted operation as well.

2ndHarmStab: The rate of 2nd harmonic current content for activation of the 2nd harmonic restrain signal. The setting is given in % of the fundamental frequency residual current.

Parallel transformer inrush current logic

M15282-97 v7

In case of parallel transformers there is a risk of sympathetic inrush current. If one of the transformers is in operation, and the parallel transformer is switched in, the asymmetric inrush current of the switched-in transformer will cause partial saturation of the transformer already in service. This is called transferred saturation. The 2nd harmonic of the inrush currents of the two transformers will be in phase opposition. The summation of the two currents will thus give a small 2nd harmonic current. The residual fundamental current will however be significant. The inrush current of the transformer in service before the parallel transformer energizing, will be a little delayed compared to the first transformer. Therefore, we will have high 2nd harmonic current initially. After a short period this current will however be small and the normal 2nd harmonic blocking will reset.

Assume that step 4 is chosen to be the most sensitive step of the four step residual overcurrent protection function EF4PTOC. The harmonic restrain blocking is enabled for this step. Also the same current setting as this step is chosen for the blocking at parallel transformer energizing.

The settings for the parallel transformer logic are described below.

UseStartValue: Gives which current level should be used for the activation of the blocking signal. This is given as one of the settings of the steps: Step 1/2/3/4. Normally, the step having the lowest operation current level should be set.

Switch onto fault logic

M15282-106 v6

In case of energizing a faulty object there is a risk of having a long fault clearance time, if the fault current is too small to give fast operation of the protection. The switch on to fault function can be activated from auxiliary signals from the circuit breaker, either the close command or the open/close position (change of position).

This logic can be used to issue a fast trip if one breaker pole does not close properly at a manual or automatic closing.

SOTF and under time are similar functions to achieve fast clearance at asymmetrical closing based on requirements from different utilities.

The function is divided into two parts. The SOTF function will give operation from step 2 or 3 during a set time after change in the position of the circuit breaker. The SOTF function has a set time delay. The under time function, which has 2nd harmonic restrain blocking, will give operation from step 4. The 2nd harmonic restrain will prevent unwanted operation in case of transformer inrush current. The under time function has a set time delay.

Below the settings for switch on to fault logics are described.

SOTF: This parameter can be set: Off/SOTF/Under Time/SOTF+Under Time.

ActivationSOTF: This setting will select the signal to activate SOTF function; CB position open/CB position closed/CB close command.

Inverse time characteristic enables fast fault clearance of high current faults at the same time as selectivity to other inverse time phase overcurrent protections can be assured. This is mainly used in radial fed networks but can also be used in meshed networks. In meshed networks, the settings must be based on network fault calculations.

To assure selectivity between different protections, in the radial network, there has to be a minimum time difference Dt between the time delays of two protections. To determine the shortest possible time difference, the operation time of protections, breaker opening time and protection resetting time must be known. These time delays can vary significantly between different protective equipment. The following time delays can be estimated:

Protection operate time: Protection resetting time: Breaker opening time:

15-60 ms 15-60 ms 20-120 ms

The different characteristics are described in the technical reference manual.

IMinx: Minimum operate current for step x in % of IB. Set IMinx below INx> for every step to achieve ANSI reset characteristic according to standard. If IMinx is set above INx> for any step, signal will reset at current equals to zero.
txMin: Minimum operating time for inverse time characteristics. At high currents, the inverse time characteristic might give a very short operation time. By setting this parameter, the operation time of the step can never be shorter than the setting.

Four step residual overcurrent protection can be used in different ways. Below is described one application possibility to be used in meshed and effectively earthed systems.
The protection measures the residual current out on the protected line. The protection function has a directional function where the polarizing voltage (zero-sequence voltage) is the polarizing quantity.

Step 4 This step normally has non-directional function and a relatively long time delay. The task for step 4 is M15282-177 v4 to detect and initiate trip for earth faults with large fault resistance, for example tree faults. Step 4 shall also detect series faults where one or two poles, of a breaker or other switching device, are open while the other poles are closed.
Both high resistance earth faults and series faults give zero-sequence current flow in the network. Such currents give disturbances on telecommunication systems and current to earth. It is important to clear such faults both concerning personal security as well as risk of fire.
The current setting for step 4 is often set down to about 100 A (primary 3I0). In many applications definite time delay in the range 1.2 - 2.0 s is used. In other applications a current dependent inverse time characteristic is used. This enables a higher degree of selectivity also for sensitive earth-fault current protection.

Lines and cables in the power system are designed for a certain maximum load current level. If the current exceeds this level the losses will be higher than expected. As a consequence the temperature of the conductors will increase. If the temperature of the lines and cables reaches too high values the equipment might be damaged:

· The sag of overhead lines can reach unacceptable value. · If the temperature of conductors, for example aluminium conductors, gets too high the material
will be destroyed. · In cables the insulation can be damaged as a consequence of the overtemperature. As a
consequence of this phase to phase or phase to earth faults can occur.

In stressed situations in the power system it can be required to overload lines and cables for a limited time. This should be done while managing the risks safely.

The thermal overload protection provides information that makes a temporary overloading of cables and lines possible. The thermal overload protection estimates the conductor temperature continuously, in Celsius or Fahrenheit depending on whether LCPTTR or LFPTTR is chosen. This estimation is made by using a thermal model of the line/cable based on the current measurement.

If the temperature of the protected object reaches a set warning level AlarmTemp, a signal ALARM can be given to the operator. This enables actions in the power system to be taken before dangerous temperatures are reached. If the temperature continues to increase to the trip value TripTemp, the protection initiates trip of the protected line.

Setting guideline IP14994-1 v1
The parameters for the Thermal overload protection, one time constant, Celsius/Fahrenheit LCPTTR/ M15094-3 v8 LFPTTR are set via the local HMI or PCM600.

IRef: Reference, steady state current, given in % of IBase that will give a steady state (end) temperature rise TRef. It is suggested to set this current to the maximum steady state current allowed for the line/cable under emergency operation (a few hours per year).
TRef: Reference temperature rise (end temperature) corresponding to the steady state current IRef. From cable manuals current values with corresponding conductor temperature are often given. These values are given for conditions such as earth temperature, ambient air temperature, way of laying of cable and earth thermal resistivity. From manuals for overhead conductor temperatures and corresponding current is given.
Tau: The thermal time constant of the protected circuit given in minutes. Please refer to manufacturers manuals for details.
TripTemp: Temperature value for trip of the protected circuit. For cables, a maximum allowed conductor temperature is often stated to be 90°C (194°F). For overhead lines, the critical temperature for aluminium conductor is about 90 - 100°C (194-212°F). For a copper conductor a normal figure is 70°C (158°F).
AlarmTemp: Temperature level for alarm of the protected circuit. ALARM signal can be used as a warning before the circuit is tripped. Therefore the setting shall be lower than the trip level. It shall at the same time be higher than the maximum conductor temperature at normal operation. For cables this level is often given to 65°C (149°F). Similar values are stated for overhead lines. A suitable setting can be about 15°C (59°F) below the trip value.
ReclTemp: Temperature where lockout signal LOCKOUT from the protection is released. When the thermal overload protection trips, a lock-out signal is activated. This signal is intended to block switch in of the protected circuit as long as the conductor temperature is high. The signal is released when the estimated temperature is below the set value. This temperature value should be chosen below the alarm temperature.

Application

M13916-3 v8

In the design of the fault clearance system the N-1 criterion is often used. This means that a fault needs to be cleared even if any component in the fault clearance system is faulty. One necessary component in the fault clearance system is the circuit breaker.

It is from practical and economical reason not feasible to duplicate the circuit breaker for the protected object. Instead a breaker failure protection is used.

Breaker failure protection CCRBRF will issue a backup trip command to adjacent circuit breakers in case of failure to trip of the "normal" circuit breaker for the protected object. The detection of failure to break the current through the breaker is made either by means of current measurement or as detection of closed status using auxiliary contact.

CCRBRF can also give a retrip command. This means that a second trip signal is sent to the protected object circuit breaker. The retrip function can be used to increase the probability of operation of the breaker, or it can be used to avoid backup trip of many breakers in case of mistakes during relay maintenance and testing.

Setting guidelines

M11546-4 v12

The parameters for Breaker failure protection CCRBRF are set via the local HMI or PCM600.

The following settings can be done for the breaker failure protection.

GlobalBaseSel: Selects the global base value group used by the function to define IBase, UBase and SBase. Note that this function will only use IBase value.

Operation: Off/On to enable/disable the complete function.

FunctionMode: It defines the way the detection of failure of the breaker is performed. In the Current mode, the current measurement is used for the detection. In the CB Pos mode, the CB auxiliary contact status is used as an indicator of the failure of the breaker. The mode Current or CB Pos means that both ways of detections can be activated. The CB Pos mode is used in applications where the fault current through the circuit breaker is small. This can be the case for some generator protection application (for example, reverse power protection) or in the case of line ends with weak end infeed.

If TRBU has been given and CBCLDLx still has value one in the CB Pos mode or if the CB position part of the Current or CB Pos mode is active, TRBU and TRRET will internally be reset intentionally after approximately 10 seconds.

This reset is deliberately done in order to make easier power system restoration after operation of the breaker failure protection. Another way of resetting TRBU and TRRET, when the CB position criterion is used, is either to shortly activate BLOCK input or setting CCRBRF to blocked when the IED is in test mode.

StartMode: By this setting it is possible to select how t1 and t2 timers are run and consequently how output commands are given from the function:

· Option 1 - LatchedStart: "By external start signals which is internally latched". When function is once started by external START signal, the timers t1 and t2 will always elapse and then measurement criterion defined by parameter FunctionMode will be always checked in order to verify if the appropriate command shall be given out from the function. Timers cannot be stopped by removing the external START signal. Function can be started again only when all of the following three timers t1, t2 and fixed timer of 150ms in function internal design has expired and the measurement criterion defined by parameter FunctionMode has deactivated, see Figure 96. Note that this option corresponds to the function behavior in previous versions of the 670 Series from version 1.0 up to and including version 2.1.

Section 8 Current protection

1MRK505393-UEN Rev. K

· Option 2 - FollowStart: "Follow the external start signal only". The timers t1 and t2 will run while external START signal is present. If they elapse then measurement criterion defined by parameter FunctionMode will be checked in order to verify if the appropriate command shall be given out from the function. Timers can be always stopped by resetting the external START signal, see Figure 97.
· Option 3- FollowStart&Mode: "Follow external start signal and selected FunctionMode" . The timers t1 and t2 will run while external START signal is present and in the same time the measurement criterion defined by parameter FunctionMode is active. If they elapse then the appropriate command will be given out from the function. Timers can be stopped by resetting the external START signal or if the measurement criterion de-activates, see Figure 98.
When one of the two "follow modes" is used, there is a settable timer tStartTimeout which will block the external START input signal when it times-out. This will automatically also reset the t1 and t2 timers and consequently prevent any backup trip command. At the same time the STALARM output from the function will have logical value one. To reset this signal external START signal shall be removed. This is done in order to prevent unwanted operation of the breaker failure function for cases where a permanent START signal is given by mistake (e.g. due to a fault in the station battery system). Note that any backup trip command will inhibit running of tStartTimeout timer.

retrip is done when the breaker position indicates that breaker is still closed after retrip time has elapsed
Both the methods are used
retrip is always given when t1 elapses without any further checks

BuTripMode: Defines how many current criterias to be fulfilled in order to detect failure of the breaker. For Current operation 2 out of 4 means that at least two currents, of the three-phase currents and the residual current, shall be high to indicate breaker failure. 1 out of 3 means that at least one current of the three-phase currents shall be high to indicate breaker failure. 1 out of 4 means that at least one current of the three phase currents or the residual current shall be high to indicate breaker failure. In most applications 1 out of 3 is sufficient. For CB Pos operation 1 out of 3 is always used.
IP>: Current level for detection of breaker failure, set in % of IBase. This parameter should be set so that faults with small fault current can be detected. The setting can be chosen in accordance with the most sensitive protection function to start the breaker failure protection. Default setting is 10% of IBase. Note that this setting shall not be set lower than 4% of Ir, where Ir is rated current of the IED CT input where the function is connected. In principle Ir is either 1A or 5A depending on the ordered IED.
I>BlkCBPos: If the FunctionMode is set to Current or CB pos breaker failure for high current faults are safely detected by the current measurement function. To increase security for low currents the contact based function will be enabled only if the current at the moment of starting is below this set level. The setting can be given within the range 5 ­ 200% of IBase. It is strongly recommended to set this level above IPh> set level.
IN>: Residual current level for detection of breaker failure set in % of IBase. In high impedance earthed systems the residual current at phase- to-earth faults are normally much smaller than the short circuit currents. In order to detect breaker failure at single phase-to-earth faults in such systems it is necessary to measure the residual current separately. The BuTripMode shall be set 1 out of 4 in such systems The current setting should be chosen in accordance to the setting of the sensitive earth-fault protection. The setting can be given within the range 2 ­ 200 % of IBase.
t1: Time delay of the retrip. The setting can be given within the range 0 ­ 60s in steps of 0.001 s. Typical setting is within range 0 ­ 50ms.

1MRK505393-UEN Rev. K

t2: Time delay of the backup trip. The choice of this setting is made as short as possible at the same time as unwanted operation must be avoided. Typical setting is within range 90 ­ 200ms (also dependent of retrip timer).
Timer t2 is used when function is started in one phase only (i.e. for single-phase to ground fault on an OHL (Over Head Lines) when single-pole auto-reclosing is used).
The minimum time delay for the backup trip can be estimated as:

t2  t1 tCB_open  tBFP_reset  tmargin
IECEQUATION18191 V1 EN-US

(Equation 122)

where: tCB_open tBFP_reset
tmargin

is the maximum opening time for the circuit breaker
is the maximum time for breaker failure protection to detect correct breaker function (the current criteria reset)
is a safety margin

It is often required that the total fault clearance time shall be less than a given critical time. This time is often dependent of the ability of the power system to maintain transient stability in case of a fault close to a power plant.

t2MPh: Time delay of the backup trip at multi-phase start. The critical fault clearance time is often shorter in case of multi-phase faults, compared to single phase-to-earth faults. Therefore there is a possibility to reduce the backup trip delay for multi-phase faults. Typical setting is 90 ­ 150 ms.

Note that for a protected object which are always tripped three-phase (e.g. transformers, generators, reactors, cables, etc.) this timer shall always be set to the same value as t2 timer.

t3: Additional time delay to t2 for a second backup trip TRBU2. In some applications there might be a requirement to have separated backup trip functions, tripping different backup circuit breakers.

Section 8 Current protection

tCBAlarm: Time delay for alarm in case of indication of faulty circuit breaker. There is a binary input CBFLT from the circuit breaker. This signal is activated when internal supervision in the circuit breaker detect that the circuit breaker is unable to clear fault. This could be the case when gas pressure is low in a SF6 circuit breaker, of others. After the set time an alarm is given, so that actions can be done to repair the circuit breaker. Note that the time delay for backup trip t2 is bypassed when the CBFLT is active. Typical setting is 2.0 seconds..

tPulse: Trip pulse duration. This setting must be larger than the opening time of circuit breakers to be tripped from the breaker failure protection. Typical setting is 200 ms.

tStartTimeout: When one of the two "Follow Modes" is used, there is a settable timer tStartTimeout which will block the external START input signal when it times-out. This will automatically also reset the t1 and t2 timers and consequently prevent any backup trip command. At the same time the STALARM output from the function will have logical value one. To reset that condition external START signal shall be removed. This is done in order to prevent unwanted operation of the breaker failure function for cases where a permanent START signal is given by mistake (e.g.due to a fault in the station battery system). Note that any backup trip command will inhibit running of tStartTimeout timer.

In a 1½-breaker switchyard, the line protection and the busbar protection normally overlap when a connected object is in service. When an object is taken out of service it is normally required to keep the diagonal of the 1½-breaker switchyard in operation. This is done by opening the disconnector to

the protected object. This will, however, disable the normal object protection (for example the distance protection) of the energized part between the circuit breakers and the open disconnector.
Stub protection STBPTOC is a simple phase overcurrent protection, fed from the two current transformer groups feeding the object taken out of service. The stub protection is only activated when the disconnector of the object is open. STBPTOCenables fast fault clearance of faults at the section between the CTs and the open disconnector.

Application

M13270-3 v6

There is a risk that a circuit breaker will get discordance between the poles at circuit breaker operation: closing or opening. One pole can be open and the other two closed, or two poles can be open and one closed. Pole discordance of a circuit breaker will cause unsymmetrical currents in the power system. The consequence of this can be:

· Negative sequence currents that will give stress on rotating machines · Zero sequence currents that might give unwanted operation of sensitive earth-fault protections
in the power system.

It is therefore important to detect situations with pole discordance of circuit breakers. When this is detected the breaker should be tripped directly.

Pole discordance protection CCPDSC will detect situation with deviating positions of the poles of the protected circuit breaker. The protection has two different options to make this detection:

· By connecting the auxiliary contacts in the circuit breaker so that logic is created, a signal can be sent to the protection, indicating pole discordance. This logic can also be realized within the protection itself, by using opened and close signals for each circuit breaker pole, connected to the protection.
· Each phase current through the circuit breaker is measured. If the difference between the phase currents is larger than a CurrUnsymLevel this is an indication of pole discordance, and the protection will operate.

Setting guidelines

M13274-3 v9

The parameters for the Pole discordance protection CCPDSC are set via the local HMI or PCM600.

The following settings can be done for the pole discordance protection.

ContSel: Operation of the contact based pole discordance protection. Can be set: Off/PD signal from CB. If PD signal from CB is chosen the logic to detect pole discordance is made in the vicinity to the breaker auxiliary contacts and only one signal is connected to the pole discordance function. If the Pole pos aux cont. alternative is chosen each open close signal is connected to the IED and the logic to detect pole discordance is realized within the function itself.
CurrSel: Operation of the current based pole discordance protection. Can be set: Off/CB oper monitor/Continuous monitor. In the alternative CB oper monitor the function is activated only directly in connection to breaker open or close command (during 200 ms). In the alternative Continuous monitor function is continuously activated.
CurrUnsymLevel: Unsymmetrical magnitude of lowest phase current compared to the highest, set in % of the highest phase current. Natural difference between phase currents in 1 1/2 breaker installations must be considered. For circuit breakers in 1 1/2 breaker configured switch yards there might be natural unbalance currents through the breaker. This is due to the existence of low impedance current paths in the switch yard. This phenomenon must be considered in the setting of the parameter.

Application

M13790-3 v8

Two-step undervoltage protection function (UV2PTUV) is applied to power system elements, such as generators, transformers, motors and power lines in order to detect low voltage conditions. It is used as a supervision and fault detection function for other protection functions as well, to increase the security of a complete protection system. Low voltage conditions are caused by abnormal operation or faults in the power system, such as:

· Malfunctioning of a voltage regulator or wrong settings under manual control (symmetrical voltage decrease)
· Overload (symmetrical voltage decrease) · Short circuits, often as phase-to-earth faults (unsymmetrical voltage decrease)

UV2PTUV is used in combination with overcurrent protections, either as restraint or in logic "and gates" of the trip signals issued by the two functions. It can also be used to:

· Detect no voltage conditions, for example, before the energization of a HV line or for automatic breaker trip in case of a blackout
· Initiate voltage correction measures, like insertion of shunt capacitor banks to compensate for reactive load and thereby increasing the voltage
· Disconnect apparatuses, like electric motors, which will be damaged when subject to service under low voltage conditions.

The function has a high measuring accuracy and a settable hysteresis to allow applications to control reactive load.

In many cases, UV2PTUV is a useful function in circuits for local or remote automation processes in the power system.

Setting guidelines

M13851-3 v9

All the voltage conditions in the system where UV2PTUV performs its functions should be considered. The same also applies to the associated equipment, its voltage and time characteristic.

There is a very wide application area where general undervoltage functions are used. All voltagerelated settings are made as a percentage of the global base value UBase, which normally is set to the primary rated voltage level (phase-to-phase) of the power system or the high voltage equipment under consideration.

The trip time setting for UV2PTUV is normally not critical, since there must be enough time available for the main protection to clear short circuits and earth faults.

Some applications and related setting guidelines for the voltage level are described in the following sections.

Equipment protection, such as for motors and generators

M13851-50 v3

The setting must be below the lowest occurring "normal" voltage and above the lowest acceptable voltage for the equipment.

Disconnected equipment detection

The setting must be below the lowest occurring "normal" voltage and above the highest occurring voltage, caused by inductive or capacitive coupling, when the equipment is disconnected.

Power supply quality

M13851-56 v3

The setting must be below the lowest occurring "normal" voltage and above the lowest acceptable voltage, due to regulation, good practice or other agreements.

Voltage instability mitigation

M13851-59 v3

This setting is very much dependent on the power system characteristics, and thorough studies have to be made to find the suitable levels.

Backup protection for power system faults

M13851-62 v3

The setting must be below the lowest occurring "normal" voltage and above the highest occurring voltage during the fault conditions under consideration.

Settings for two step undervoltage protection
The following settings can be done for Two step undervoltage protection UV2PTUV:

M13851-65 v16

ConnType: Sets whether the measurement shall be phase-to-earth fundamental value, phase-tophase fundamental value, phase-to-earth RMS value or phase-to-phase RMS value.

Operation: Off or On.

UBase (given in GlobalBaseSel): Base voltage phase-to-phase in primary kV. This voltage is used as reference for voltage setting. UV2PTUV will operate if the voltage becomes lower than the set percentage of UBase. This setting is used when ConnType is set to PhPh DFT or PhPh RMS. Therefore, always set UBase as rated primary phase-to-phase voltage of the protected object. For more information, refer to the Technical manual.

The setting parameters described below are identical for the two steps (n = 1 or 2). Therefore, the setting parameters are described only once.

Characteristicn: This parameter gives the type of time delay to be used. The setting can be Definite time, Inverse Curve A, Inverse Curve B, Prog. inv. curve. The selection is dependent on the protection application.

OpModen: This parameter describes how many of the three measured voltages should be below the set level to give operation for step n. The setting can be 1 out of 3, 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 3. In most applications, it is sufficient that one phase voltage is low to give operation. If UV2PTUV shall be insensitive for single phase-to-earth faults, 2 out of 3 can be chosen. In subtransmission and transmission networks the undervoltage function is mainly a system supervision function and 3 out of 3 is selected.

9.2.1

Un<: Set operate undervoltage operation value for step n, given as % of the parameter UBase. The setting is highly dependent on the protection application. It is essential to consider the minimum voltage at non-faulted situations. Normally, this non-faulted voltage is larger than 90% of the nominal voltage.
tn: time delay of step n, given in s. This setting is dependent on the protection application. In many applications the protection function shall not directly trip when there is a short circuit or earth faults in the system. The time delay must be coordinated to the other short circuit protections.
tResetn: Reset time for step n if definite time delay is used, given in s. The default value is 25 ms.
tnMin: Minimum operation time for inverse time characteristic for step n, given in s. When using inverse time characteristic for the undervoltage function during very low voltages can give a short operation time. This might lead to unselective tripping. By setting t1Min longer than the operation time for other protections, such unselective tripping can be avoided.
ResetTypeCrvn: This parameter for inverse time characteristic can be set to Instantaneous, Frozen time, Linearly decreased. The default setting is Instantaneous.
tIResetn: Reset time for step n if inverse time delay is used, given in s. The default value is 25 ms.
kn: Time multiplier for inverse time characteristic. This parameter is used for coordination between different inverse time delayed undervoltage protections.
ACrvn, BCrvn, CCrvn, DCrvn, PCrvn: Parameters to create a programmable under voltage inverse time characteristic. Description of this can be found in the Technical manual.
CrvSatn: Tuning parameter that is used to compensate for the undesired discontinuity created when the denominator in the equation for the customer programmable curve is equal to zero. For more information, see the Technical manual.
IntBlkSeln: This parameter can be set to Off, Block of trip, Block all. In case of a low voltage the undervoltage function can be blocked. This function can be used to prevent function when the protected object is switched off. If the parameter is set Block of trip or Block all unwanted trip is prevented.
IntBlkStValn: Voltage level under which the blocking is activated set in % of UBase. This setting must be lower than the setting Un<. As switch of shall be detected the setting can be very low, that is, about 10%.
tBlkUVn: Time delay to block the undervoltage step n when the voltage level is below IntBlkStValn, given in s. It is important that this delay is shorter than the operate time delay of the undervoltage protection step.

9.2.2 9.2.3

Application

M13799-3 v9

Two step overvoltage protection OV2PTOV is applicable in all situations, where reliable detection of high voltage is necessary. OV2PTOV is used for supervision and detection of abnormal conditions, which, in combination with other protection functions, increase the security of a complete protection system.

High overvoltage conditions are caused by abnormal situations in the power system. OV2PTOV is applied to power system elements, such as generators, transformers, motors and power lines in order to detect high voltage conditions. OV2PTOV is used in combination with low current signals, to identify a transmission line, open in the remote end. In addition to that, OV2PTOV is also used to initiate voltage correction measures, like insertion of shunt reactors, to compensate for low load, and thereby decreasing the voltage. The function has a high measuring accuracy and hysteresis setting to allow applications to control reactive load.

OV2PTOV is used to disconnect apparatuses, like electric motors, which will be damaged when subject to service under high voltage conditions. It deals with high voltage conditions at power system frequency, which can be caused by:

1. Different kinds of faults, where a too high voltage appears in a certain power system, like metallic connection to a higher voltage level (broken conductor falling down to a crossing overhead line, transformer flash over fault from the high voltage winding to the low voltage winding and so on).
2. Malfunctioning of a voltage regulator or wrong settings under manual control (symmetrical voltage decrease).
3. Low load compared to the reactive power generation (symmetrical voltage decrease). 4. Earth-faults in high impedance earthed systems causes, beside the high voltage in the neutral,
high voltages in the two non-faulted phases, (unsymmetrical voltage increase).

OV2PTOV prevents sensitive equipment from running under conditions that could cause their overheating or stress of insulation material, and, thus, shorten their life time expectancy. In many cases, it is a useful function in circuits for local or remote automation processes in the power system.

Setting guidelines
The parameters for Two step overvoltage protection (OV2PTOV) are set via the local HMI or PCM600.

M13852-4 v10

All the voltage conditions in the system where OV2PTOV performs its functions should be considered. The same also applies to the associated equipment, its voltage and time characteristic.

There are wide applications where general overvoltage functions are used. All voltage related settings are made as a percentage of a settable base primary voltage, which is normally set to the nominal voltage level (phase-to-phase) of the power system or the high voltage equipment under consideration.

The time delay for the OV2PTOV can sometimes be critical and related to the size of the overvoltage - a power system or a high voltage component can withstand smaller overvoltages for some time, but in case of large overvoltages the related equipment should be disconnected more rapidly.

Some applications and related setting guidelines for the voltage level are given below:

The hysteresis is for overvoltage functions very important to prevent that a transient voltage over set level is not "sealed-in" due to a high hysteresis. Typical values should be  0.5%.

High impedance earthed systems

M13852-19 v6

In high impedance earthed systems, earth-faults cause a voltage increase in the non-faulty phases. Two step overvoltage protection (OV2PTOV) is used to detect such faults. The setting must be above the highest occurring "normal" voltage and below the lowest occurring voltage during faults. A metallic single-phase earth-fault causes the non-faulted phase voltages to increase a factor of 3.

The following settings can be done for the two step overvoltage protection

M13852-22 v11

ConnType: Sets whether the measurement shall be phase-to-earth fundamental value, phase-tophase fundamental value, phase-to-earth RMS value or phase-to-phase RMS value.

Operation: Off/On.

UBase (given in GlobalBaseSel): Base voltage phase to phase in primary kV. This voltage is used as reference for voltage setting. OV2PTOV measures selectively phase-to-earth voltages, or phase-tophase voltage chosen by the setting ConnType. The function will operate if the voltage gets lower than the set percentage of UBase. When ConnType is set to PhN DFT or PhN RMS then the IED automatically divides set value for UBase by 3. When ConnType is set to PhPh DFT or PhPh RMS then set value for UBase is used. Therefore, always set UBase as rated primary phase-to-phase voltage of the protected object. If phase to neutral (PhN) measurement is selected as setting, the operation of phase-to-earth over voltage is automatically divided by sqrt3. This means operation for phase-to-earth voltage over:

U > (%) ×UBase(kV ) / 3
and operation for phase-to-phase voltage over: U > (%) × UBase(kV)

OpModen: This parameter describes how many of the three measured voltages that should be above the set level to give operation. The setting can be 1 out of 3, 2 out of 3, 3 out of 3. In most applications it is sufficient that one phase voltage is high to give operation. If the function shall be insensitive for single phase-to-earth faults 1 out of 3 can be chosen, because the voltage will normally rise in the non-faulted phases at single phase-to-earth faults. In subtransmission and transmission networks the UV function is mainly a system supervision function and 3 out of 3 is selected.

tnMin: Minimum operation time for inverse time characteristic for step n, given in s. For very high voltages the overvoltage function, using inverse time characteristic, can give very short operation time. This might lead to unselective trip. By setting t1Min longer than the operation time for other protections such unselective tripping can be avoided.

CrvSatn: When the denominator in the expression of the programmable curve is equal to zero the time delay will be infinity. There will be an undesired discontinuity. Therefore a tuning parameter CrvSatn is set to compensate for this phenomenon. In the voltage interval Un> up to Un> · (1.0 + CrvSatn/100) the used voltage will be: Un> · (1.0 + CrvSatn/100).

Application

M13809-3 v8

Two step residual overvoltage protection ROV2PTOV is primarily used in high impedance earthed distribution networks, mainly as a backup for the primary earth-fault protection of the feeders and the transformer. To increase the security for different earth-fault related functions, the residual overvoltage signal can be used as a release signal. The residual voltage can be measured either at the transformer neutral or from a voltage transformer open delta connection. The residual voltage can also be calculated internally, based on the measurement of the three phase-to-earth voltages.

In high impedance earthed systems the residual voltage will increase in case of any fault connected to earth. Depending on the type of fault and fault resistance the residual voltage will reach different values. The highest residual voltage, equal to three times the phase-to-earth voltage, is achieved for a single phase-to-earth fault. The residual voltage increases approximately to the same level in the whole system and does not provide any guidance in finding the faulted component. Therefore, ROV2PTOV is often used as a backup protection or as a release signal for the feeder earth-fault protection.

Setting guidelines

M13853-3 v8

All the voltage conditions in the system where ROV2PTOV performs its functions should be considered. The same also applies to the associated equipment, its voltage withstand capability and time characteristic.

All voltage-related settings are made as a percentage of a settable base voltage, which shall be set to the primary nominal voltage (phase-phase) level of the power system or the high-voltage equipment under consideration.

9.3.4.1
9.3.4.2 9.3.4.3 9.3.4.4

The time delay for ROV2PTOV is seldom critical, since residual voltage is related to earth faults in a high-impedance earthed system, and enough time must normally be given for the primary protection to clear the fault. In some more specific situations, where the residual overvoltage protection is used to protect some specific equipment, the time delay is shorter.
Some applications and related setting guidelines for the residual voltage level are given below.

Equipment protection, such as for motors, generators, reactors and transformers Equipment protection for transformers
M13853-9 v8
High residual voltage indicates earth-fault in the system, perhaps in the component to which two step residual overvoltage protection (ROV2PTOV) is connected. For selectivity reasons to the primary protection for the faulted device, ROV2PTOV must trip the component with some time delay. The setting must be above the highest occurring "normal" residual voltage and below the highest acceptable residual voltage for the equipment.

Equipment protection, capacitors

M13853-12 v4

High voltage will deteriorate the dielectric and the insulation. Two step residual overvoltage protection (ROV2PTOV) has to be connected to a neutral or open delta winding. The setting must be above the highest occurring "normal" residual voltage and below the highest acceptable residual voltage for the capacitor.

Power supply quality

M13853-15 v3

The setting must be above the highest occurring "normal" residual voltage and below the highest acceptable residual voltage, due to regulation, good practice or other agreements.

High impedance earthed systems

M13853-18 v10

In high impedance earthed systems, earth faults cause a neutral voltage in the feeding transformer neutral. Two step residual overvoltage protection ROV2PTOV is used to trip the transformer, as a backup protection for the feeder earth-fault protection, and as a backup for the transformer primary earth-fault protection. The setting must be above the highest occurring "normal" residual voltage, and below the lowest occurring residual voltage during the faults under consideration. A metallic singlephase earth fault causes a transformer neutral to reach a voltage equal to the nominal phase-to-earth voltage.

The voltage transformers measuring the phase-to-earth voltages measure zero voltage in the faulty phase. The two healthy phases will measure full phase-to-phase voltage, as the faulty phase will be connected to earth. The residual overvoltage will be three times the phase-to-earth voltage. See figure 101.

2. The IED is fed from a broken delta connection normal voltage transformer group. In an open delta connection the protection is fed by the voltage 3U0 (single input). Section Analog inputs in the Application manual explains how the analog input needs to be set.

ROV2PTOV will measure the residual voltage corresponding to the nominal phase-to-earth voltage for a high-impedance earthed system. The measurement will be based on the neutral voltage displacement.
The setting parameters described below are identical for the two steps (n = step 1 and 2). Therefore the setting parameters are described only once.
OperationStepn: To enable/disable operation of step n.

(Equation 126)

The setting depends on the required sensitivity of the protection and the type of system earthing. In non-effectively earthed systems, the residual voltage cannot be higher than three times the rated phase-to-earth voltage, which should correspond to 100%.

In effectively earthed systems, this value depends on the ratio Z0/Z1. The required setting to detect high resistive earth faults must be based on network calculations.

tn: time delay of step n, given in s. The setting is highly dependent on the protection application. In many applications, the protection function has the task to prevent damage to the protected object. The speed might be important, for example, in the case of the protection of a transformer that might be overexcited. The time delay must be co-ordinated with other automated actions in the system.

For very high voltages the overvoltage function, using inverse time characteristic, can give very short operation time. This might lead to unselective trip.

BlkDiffAtULow: The setting is to block the function when the voltages in the phases are low.
RFLx: Is the setting of the voltage ratio compensation factor where possible differences between the voltages is compensated for. The differences can be due to different voltage transformer ratios, different voltage levels e.g. the voltage measurement inside the capacitor bank can have a different voltage level but the difference can also e.g. be used by voltage drop in the secondary circuits. The setting is normally done at site by evaluating the differential voltage achieved as a service value for each phase. The factor is defined as U2 · RFLx and shall be equal to the U1 voltage. Each phase has its own ratio factor.
UDTrip: The voltage differential level required for tripping is set with this parameter. For application on capacitor banks the setting will depend of the capacitor bank voltage and the number of elements per phase in series and parallel. Capacitor banks must be tripped before excessive voltage occurs on the healthy capacitor elements. The setting values required are normally given by the capacitor bank supplier. For other applications it has to be decided case by case. For fuse supervision normally only the alarm level is used.
tTrip: The time delay for tripping is set by this parameter. Normally, the delay does not need to be so short in capacitor bank applications as there is no fault requiring urgent tripping.

For fuse supervision normally only this alarm level is used and a suitable voltage level is 3-5% if the ratio correction factor has been properly evaluated during commissioning.
For other applications it has to be decided case by case.

The trip of the circuit breaker at a prolonged loss of voltage at all the three phases is normally used in automatic restoration systems to facilitate the system restoration after a major blackout. Loss of voltage check (LOVPTUV) generates a TRIP signal only if the voltage in all the three phases is low for more than the set time. If the trip to the circuit breaker is not required, LOVPTUV is used for signallization only through an output contact or through the event recording function.

Loss of voltage check (LOVPTUV) is in principle independent of the protection functions. It requires to be set to open the circuit breaker in order to allow a simple system restoration following a main voltage loss of a big part of the network and only when the voltage is lost with breakers still closed.

Application

M13350-3 v4

Underfrequency protection SAPTUF is applicable in all situations, where reliable detection of low fundamental power system frequency is needed. The power system frequency, and the rate of change of frequency, is a measure of the unbalance between the actual generation and the load demand. Low fundamental frequency in a power system indicates that the available generation is too low to fully supply the power demanded by the load connected to the power grid. SAPTUF detects such situations and provides an output signal, suitable for load shedding, generator boosting, HVDCset-point change, gas turbine start up and so on. Sometimes shunt reactors are automatically switched in due to low frequency, in order to reduce the power system voltage and hence also reduce the voltage dependent part of the load.

SAPTUF is very sensitive and accurate and is used to alert operators that frequency has slightly deviated from the set-point, and that manual actions might be enough. The underfrequency signal is also used for overexcitation detection. This is especially important for generator step-up transformers, which might be connected to the generator but disconnected from the grid, during a roll-out sequence. If the generator is still energized, the system will experience overexcitation, due to the low frequency.

Setting guidelines

M13355-3 v8

All the frequency and voltage magnitude conditions in the system where SAPTUF performs its functions should be considered. The same also applies to the associated equipment, its frequency and time characteristic.

There are two specific application areas for SAPTUF:

1. to protect equipment against damage due to low frequency, such as generators, transformers, and motors. Overexcitation is also related to low frequency
2. to protect a power system, or a part of a power system, against breakdown, by shedding load, in generation deficit situations.

The under frequency start value is set in Hz. All voltage magnitude related settings are made as a percentage of a global base voltage parameter. The UBase value should be set as a primary phaseto-phase value.

Some applications and related setting guidelines for the frequency level are given below:

Equipment protection, such as for motors and generators
The setting has to be well below the lowest occurring "normal" frequency and well above the lowest acceptable frequency for the equipment.
Power system protection, by load shedding
The setting has to be below the lowest occurring "normal" frequency and well above the lowest acceptable frequency for power stations, or sensitive loads. The setting level, the number of levels and the distance between two levels (in time and/or in frequency) depends very much on the characteristics of the power system under consideration. The size of the "largest loss of production" compared to "the size of the power system" is a critical parameter. In large systems, the load shedding can be set at a fairly high frequency level, and the time delay is normally not critical. In smaller systems the frequency start level has to be set at a lower value, and the time delay must be rather short.
The voltage related time delay is used for load shedding. The settings of SAPTUF could be the same all over the power system. The load shedding is then performed firstly in areas with low voltage magnitude, which normally are the most problematic areas, where the load shedding also is most efficient.

Overfrequency protection function SAPTOF is applicable in all situations, where reliable detection of high fundamental power system frequency is needed. The power system frequency, and rate of change of frequency, is a measure of the unbalance between the actual generation and the load demand. High fundamental frequency in a power system indicates that the available generation is too large compared to the power demanded by the load connected to the power grid. SAPTOF detects such situations and provides an output signal, suitable for generator shedding, HVDC-set-point change and so on. SAPTOF is very sensitive and accurate and can also be used to alert operators that frequency has slightly deviated from the set-point, and that manual actions might be enough.

Setting guidelines

M14959-3 v7

All the frequency and voltage magnitude conditions in the system where SAPTOF performs its functions must be considered. The same also applies to the associated equipment, its frequency and time characteristic.

There are two application areas for SAPTOF:

1. to protect equipment against damage due to high frequency, such as generators, and motors 2. to protect a power system, or a part of a power system, against breakdown, by shedding
generation, in over production situations.

The overfrequency start value is set in Hz. All voltage magnitude related settings are made as a percentage of a settable global base voltage parameter UBase. The UBase value should be set as a primary phase-to-phase value.
Some applications and related setting guidelines for the frequency level are given below:
Equipment protection, such as for motors and generators
The setting has to be well above the highest occurring "normal" frequency and well below the highest acceptable frequency for the equipment.
Power system protection, by generator shedding
The setting must be above the highest occurring "normal" frequency and below the highest acceptable frequency for power stations, or sensitive loads. The setting level, the number of levels and the distance between two levels (in time and/or in frequency) depend very much on the characteristics of the power system under consideration. The size of the "largest loss of load" compared to "the size of the power system" is a critical parameter. In large systems, the generator shedding can be set at a fairly low frequency level, and the time delay is normally not critical. In smaller systems the frequency START level has to be set at a higher value, and the time delay must be rather short.

Application

M14966-3 v5

Rate-of-change of frequency protection (SAPFRC) is applicable in all situations, where reliable detection of change of the fundamental power system voltage frequency is needed. SAPFRC can be used both for increasing frequency and for decreasing frequency. SAPFRC provides an output signal, suitable for load shedding or generator shedding, generator boosting, HVDC-set-point change, gas turbine start up and so on. Very often SAPFRC is used in combination with a low frequency signal, especially in smaller power systems, where loss of a fairly large generator will require quick remedial actions to secure the power system integrity. In such situations load shedding actions are required at a rather high frequency level, but in combination with a large negative rate-ofchange of frequency the underfrequency protection can be used at a rather high setting.

Setting guidelines

M14971-3 v7

The parameters for Rate-of-change frequency protection SAPFRC are set via the local HMI or or through the Protection and Control Manager (PCM600).

All the frequency and voltage magnitude conditions in the system where SAPFRC performs its functions should be considered. The same also applies to the associated equipment, its frequency and time characteristic.

Section 10 Frequency protection

1MRK505393-UEN Rev. K

There are two application areas for SAPFRC:
1. to protect equipment against damage due to high or too low frequency, such as generators, transformers, and motors
2. to protect a power system, or a part of a power system, against breakdown by shedding load or generation, in situations where load and generation are not in balance.
SAPFRC is normally used together with an overfrequency or underfrequency function, in small power systems, where a single event can cause a large imbalance between load and generation. In such situations load or generation shedding has to take place very quickly, and there might not be enough time to wait until the frequency signal has reached an abnormal value. Actions are therefore taken at a frequency level closer to the primary nominal level, if the rate-of-change frequency is large (with respect to sign).
The start value for SAPFRC is set in Hz/s. All voltage magnitude related settings are made as a percentage of a settable base voltage, which normally is set to the primary nominal voltage level (phase-phase) of the power system or the high voltage equipment under consideration.
SAPFRC is not instantaneous, since the function needs some time to supply a stable value. It is recommended to have a time delay long enough to take care of signal noise. However, the time, rateof-change frequency and frequency steps between different actions might be critical, and sometimes a rather short operation time is required, for example, down to 70 ms.
Smaller industrial systems might experience rate-of-change frequency as large as 5 Hz/s, due to a single event. Even large power systems may form small islands with a large imbalance between load and generation, when severe faults (or combinations of faults) are cleared - up to 3 Hz/s has been experienced when a small island was isolated from a large system. For more "normal" severe disturbances in large power systems, rate-of-change of frequency is much less, most often just a fraction of 1.0 Hz/s.

Open or short circuited current transformer cores can cause unwanted operation of many protection functions such as differential, earth-fault current and negative-sequence current functions. When currents from two independent three-phase sets of CTs, or CT cores, measuring the same primary currents are available, reliable current circuit supervision can be arranged by comparing the currents from the two sets. If an error in any CT circuit is detected, the protection functions concerned can be blocked and an alarm given.

In case of large currents, unequal transient saturation of CT cores with different remanence or different saturation factor may result in differences in the secondary currents from the two CT sets. Unwanted blocking of protection functions during the transient stage must then be avoided.

Current circuit supervision CCSSPVC must be sensitive and have short operate time in order to prevent unwanted tripping from fast-acting, sensitive numerical protections in case of faulty CT secondary circuits.

Open CT circuits creates extremely high voltages in the circuits which is extremely dangerous for the personnel. It can also damage the insulation and cause new problems. The application shall, thus, be done with this in consideration, especially if the protection functions are blocked.

Setting guidelines

GlobalBaseSel: Selects the global base value group used by the function to define IBase, UBase and SBase. Note that this function will only use IBase value.

Current circuit supervision CCSSPVC compares the residual current from a three-phase set of current transformer cores with the neutral point current on a separate input taken from another set of cores on the same current transformer.

IMinOp: It must be set as a minimum to twice the residual current in the supervised CT circuits under normal service conditions and rated primary current.

Ip>Block: It is normally set at 150% to block the function during transient conditions.

The FAIL output is connected to the blocking input of the protection function to be blocked at faulty CT secondary circuits.

Different protection functions within the protection IED, operates on the basis of the measured voltage in the relay point. Examples are:

· impedance protection functions · undervoltage function · energizing check function and voltage check for the weak infeed logic

These functions can operate unintentionally if a fault occurs in the secondary circuits between the voltage instrument transformers and the IED.

It is possible to use different measures to prevent such unwanted operations. Miniature circuit breakers in the voltage measuring circuits should be located as close as possible to the voltage instrument transformers, and shall be equipped with auxiliary contacts that are wired to the IEDs. Separate fuse-failure monitoring IEDs or elements within the protection and monitoring devices are another possibilities. These solutions are combined to get the best possible effect in the fuse failure supervision function (FUFSPVC).

FUFSPVC function built into the IED products can operate on the basis of external binary signals from the miniature circuit breaker or from the line disconnector. The first case influences the operation of all voltage-dependent functions while the second one does not affect the impedance measuring functions.

The negative sequence detection algorithm, based on the negative-sequence measuring quantities is recommended for use in isolated or high-impedance earthed networks: a high value of voltage 3U2 without the presence of the negative-sequence current 3I2 is a condition that is related to a fuse failure event.

The zero sequence detection algorithm, based on the zero sequence measuring quantities is recommended for use in directly or low impedance earthed networks: a high value of voltage 3U0 without the presence of the residual current 3I0 is a condition that is related to a fuse failure event. In cases where the line can have a weak-infeed of zero sequence current this function shall be avoided.

A criterion based on delta current and delta voltage measurements can be added to the fuse failure supervision function in order to detect a three phase fuse failure. This is beneficial for example during three phase transformer switching.

Setting guidelines

IP15000-1 v1

General

M13683-3 v5

The negative and zero sequence voltages and currents always exist due to different non-symmetries in the primary system and differences in the current and voltage instrument transformers. The minimum value for the operation of the current and voltage measuring elements must always be set with a safety margin of 10 to 20%, depending on the system operating conditions.

Pay special attention to the dissymmetry of the measuring quantities when the function is used on long untransposed lines, on multicircuit lines and so on.

The setting GlobalBaseSel is used to select a particular GBASVAL and used its base values.

Setting of common parameters
Set the operation mode selector Operation to On to release the fuse failure function.

M13683-9 v9

The voltage threshold USealIn< is used to identify low voltage condition in the system. Set USealIn< below the minimum operating voltage that might occur during emergency conditions. We propose a setting of approximately 70% of UBase.

The drop off time of 200 ms for dead phase detection makes it recommended to always set SealIn to On since this will secure a fuse failure indication at persistent fuse fail when closing the local breaker when the line is already energized from the other end. When the remote breaker closes the voltage will return except in the phase that has a persistent fuse fail. Since the local breaker is open there is no current and the dead phase indication will persist in the phase with the blown fuse. When the local breaker closes the current will start to flow and the function detects the fuse failure situation. But due to the 200 ms drop off timer the output BLKZ will not be activated until after 200 ms. This means that distance functions are not blocked and due to the "no voltage but current" situation might issue a trip.

The operation mode selector OpMode has been introduced for better adaptation to system requirements. The mode selector enables selecting interactions between the negative sequence and zero sequence algorithm. In normal applications, the OpMode is set to either UNsINs for selecting negative sequence algorithm or UZsIZs for zero sequence based algorithm. If system studies or field experiences shows that there is a risk that the fuse failure function will not be activated due to the system conditions, the dependability of the fuse failure function can be increased if the OpMode is set to UZsIZs OR UNsINs or OptimZsNs. In mode UZsIZs OR UNsINs both negative and zero sequence based algorithms are activated and working in an OR-condition. Also in mode OptimZsNs both negative and zero sequence algorithms are activated and the one that has the highest magnitude of measured negative or zero sequence current will operate. If there is a requirement to increase the security of the fuse failure function OpMode can be selected to UZsIZs AND UNsINs which gives that both negative and zero sequence algorithms are activated and working in an ANDcondition, that is, both algorithms must give condition for block in order to activate the output signals BLKU or BLKZ.

In a weak grid networks, fault detection and operation of other protection functions is reliably done by delta supervision functionality. In this type of network, a delta based release criteria is used to release the trip signal. The measurement of delta differs from country to country between magnitude, vector or sample based detection.

In this function, a voltage based delta supervision is implemented in a phase segregated design. The delta function has the following features:

· Instantaneous sample based delta detection · True RMS value based delta detection · DFT magnitude based delta detection · Vector shift protection

The Delta detection mode is selected on the basis of application requirements. For example, Instantaneous sample based delta supervision is very fast; the delta is detected in less than a cycle typically. Hence, instantaneous sample based delta supervision can be used for functions that are used as protection enablers or fault detectors

All the other supervision modes like RMS/DFT Mag or Angle requires minimum one cycle for delta detection and can be used for time delay functions.

Angle shift mode

Use of distributed generation (DG) units is increasing due to liberalized markets (deregulation) and the global trend to use more renewable sources of energy. They generate power in the range of 10 kW to 10 MW and most of them are interconnected to the distribution network. They can supply

power into the network as well as to the local loads. It is not common to connect generators directly to the distribution networks and thus the distributed generation can cause some challenges for the protection of distribution networks. From the protection point of view, one of the most challenging issue is islanding.
Islanding is defined as a condition in which a distributed generation unit continues to supply power to a certain part of the distribution network when power from the larger utility main grid is no longer available after opening of a circuit-breaker.
Islanding is also referred as Loss of Mains (LOM) or Loss of Grid (LOG). When LOM occurs, neither the voltage nor the frequency is controlled by the utility supply. Also, these distributed generators are not equipped with voltage and frequency control; therefore, the voltage magnitude of an islanded network may not be kept within the desired limits resulting into undefined voltage magnitudes during islanding situations and frequency instability. Further, uncontrolled frequency represents a high risk for drives and other machines.
Islanding can occur as a consequence of :
· a fault in the network · circuit-breaker maloperation · circuit-breaker opening during maintenance
If the distributed generator continues its operation after the utility supply is disconnected, faults do not clear under certain conditions as the arc is charged by the distributed generators. Moreover, the distributed generators are incompatible with the current reclosing practices. During the reclosing sequence dead time, the generators in the network usually tend to drift out of synchronism with the grid and, reconnecting them without synchronizing may damage the generators introducing high currents and voltages in the neighbouring network.
Due to the technical difficulties mentioned above, protection should be provided, which disconnects the distributed generation once it is electrically isolated from the main grid supply. Various techniques are used for detecting Loss of Mains. However, the present feature of voltage supervision focuses on voltage vector shift.
For islanding based on vector shift protection, the logic shown in Figure 105 should be used to trip the breaker. With this logic, reliable tripping can be ensured as angle shift has been detected in all the three phase voltages.

The vector shift detection guarantees fast and reliable detection of mains failure in almost all operational conditions when a distributed generation unit is running in parallel with the mains supply, but in certain cases this may fail.

If the active and reactive power generated by the distributed generation units is nearly balanced (for example, if the power mismatch or unbalance is less than 5...10%) with the active and reactive power consumed by loads, a large enough voltage phase shift may not occur which can be detected by the

vector shift algorithm. This means that the vector shift algorithm has a small non-detection zone (NDZ) which is also dependent on the type of generators, loads, network and start or operate value of the vector shift algorithm.
Other network events like capacitor switching, switching of very large loads in weak network or connection of parallel transformer at HV/MV substation, in which the voltage magnitude is not changed considerably (unlike in faults) can potentially cause maloperation of vector shift algorithm, if very sensitive settings are used.
The vector shift detection also protects synchronous generators from damaging due to islanding or loss-of-mains.

DelSt>: To set the start value for delta detection.

DeltaT: This setting defines the number of execution cycles of old data to be used for delta calculation. That is, if DeltaT setting is set as 6 for a 3 ms function, an 18 ms old value will be used to compare the change against.

tHold: This setting defines the pulse length for the start signal. A typical value of this setting is 100 ms.

Please ensure that the value provided for DelSt> should be dependent on the input signal connected. For example, in case of temperature, the set value can be in the range of -40 to 200 degrees. If the value monitored is current , then it can be in the range of few hundreds to thousand amperes. Similarly, appropriate value needs to be provided depending on the input as there is a possibility of continuous triggering of the output if the set value is much below the normal range of variation in the input.

Synchronizing

SEMOD171992-5 v11

To allow closing of breakers between asynchronous networks, a synchronizing feature is provided. The breaker close command is issued at the optimum time when conditions across the breaker are satisfied in order to avoid stress on the network and its components.

The systems are defined as asynchronous when the frequency difference between bus and line is larger than an adjustable parameter. If the frequency difference is less than this threshold value the system is defined to have a parallel circuit and the synchrocheck function is used.

The synchronizing function measures the difference between the U-Line and the U-Bus. It operates and enables a closing command to the circuit breaker when the calculated closing angle is equal to the measured phase angle and the following conditions are simultaneously fulfilled:

· The voltages U-Line and U-Bus are higher than the set values for UHighBusSynch and UHighLineSynch of the respective base voltages GblBaseSelBus and GblBaseSelLine.
· The difference in the voltage is smaller than the set value of UDiffSynch. · The difference in frequency is less than the set value of FreqDiffMax and larger than the set
value of FreqDiffMin. If the frequency is less than FreqDiffMin the synchrocheck is used and the value of FreqDiffMin must thus be identical to the value FreqDiffM resp FreqDiffA for synchrocheck function. The bus and line frequencies must also be within a range of ±5 Hz from the rated frequency. When the synchronizing option is included also for autoreclose there is no reason to have different frequency setting for the manual and automatic reclosing and the frequency difference values for synchronism check should be kept low. · The frequency rate of change is less than set value for both U-Bus and U-Line. · The difference in the phase angle is smaller than the set value of CloseAngleMax. · The closing angle is decided by the calculation of slip frequency and required pre-closing time.

The synchronizing function compensates for the measured slip frequency as well as the circuit breaker closing delay. The phase angle advance is calculated continuously. The calculation of the operation pulse sent in advance is using the measured SlipFrequency and the set tBreaker time. To prevent incorrect closing pulses, a maximum closing angle between bus and line is set with CloseAngleMax. To minimize the moment stress when synchronizing near a power station, a narrower limit for the CloseAngleMax needs to be used.

When setting the value for tBreaker the following should be considered:

· The closing time of contact on a Binary Out Module (BOM) is appr.4ms and on a Static Output Module (SOM) appr. 1ms.
· The operating time of any auxilliary relays in the closing circuit. · Mechanical closing time of the breaker primary contacts.
The setting CloseAngleMax is only a limitation under which which combination of the SlipFrequency and CB closing time the Synchronizing feature is capable to operate.
Theoretically the following equation is valid for the Synchronizing feature:
SlipFrequency[Hz] *tBreaker[s] < CloseAngleMax[deg] / 360
For example, when CloseAngleMax = 30 deg. and tBreaker = 0.1 s then the Synchronizing feature can handle up to 0.833 Hz as shown below:
SlipFrequency[Hz] < (30 / 360) / 0.1 = 0.833 Hz

The reference voltage can be phase-neutral L1, L2, L3 or phase-phase L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L1 or positive sequence (Require a three phase voltage, that is UL1, UL2 and UL3) . By setting the phases used for SESRSYN, with the settings SelPhaseBus1, SelPhaseBus2, SelPhaseLine2 and SelPhaseLine2, a compensation is made automatically for the voltage amplitude difference and the phase angle difference caused if different setting values are selected for the two sides of the breaker. If needed an additional phase angle adjustment can be done for selected line voltage with the PhaseShift setting.

Some restrictions when using CBConfig selections 1½ bus CB, 1½ bus alt.CB and Tie CB are described in table Restrictions for CBConfig settings in the Technical manual. Such restriction are applicable only when a power transformer is connected in the diameter and VT used for synchrocheck function is located on the other side of the transformer.

Synchrocheck

M12309-6 v10

The main purpose of the synchrocheck function is to provide control over the closing of circuit breakers in power networks in order to prevent closing if conditions for synchronism are not detected. It is also used to prevent the re-connection of two systems, which are divided after islanding and after a three pole reclosing.

Single pole auto-reclosing does not require any synchrocheck since the system is tied together by two phases.

SESRSYN function block includes both the synchrocheck function and the energizing function to allow closing when one side of the breaker is dead. SESRSYN function also includes a built in voltage selection scheme which allows adoption to various busbar arrangements.

Figure 107: Two interconnected power systems
Figure 107 shows two interconnected power systems. The cloud means that the interconnection can be further away, that is, a weak connection through other stations. The need for a check of synchronization increases if the meshed system decreases since the risk of the two networks being out of synchronization at manual or automatic closing is greater.
The synchrocheck function measures the conditions across the circuit breaker and compares them to set limits. Output is generated only when all measured conditions are within their set limits simultaneously. The check consists of:
· Live line and live bus. · Voltage level difference. · Frequency difference (slip). The bus and line frequency must also be within a range of ±5 Hz
from rated frequency. · Phase angle difference.
A time delay is available to ensure that the conditions are fulfilled for a minimum period of time.
In very stable power systems the frequency difference is insignificant or zero for manually initiated closing or closing by automatic restoration. In steady conditions a bigger phase angle difference can be allowed as this is sometimes the case in a long and loaded parallel power line. For this application we accept a synchrocheck with a long operation time and high sensitivity regarding the frequency difference. The phase angle difference setting can be set for steady state conditions.
Another example is the operation of a power network that is disturbed by a fault event: after the fault clearance a highspeed auto-reclosing takes place. This can cause a power swing in the net and the phase angle difference may begin to oscillate. Generally, the frequency difference is the time derivative of the phase angle difference and will, typically oscillate between positive and negative values. When the circuit breaker needs to be closed by auto-reclosing after fault-clearance some frequency difference should be tolerated, to a greater extent than in the steady condition mentioned in the case above. But if a big phase angle difference is allowed at the same time, there is some risk that auto-reclosing will take place when the phase angle difference is big and increasing. In this case it should be safer to close when the phase angle difference is smaller.
To fulfill the above requirements the synchrocheck function is provided with duplicate settings, one for steady (Manual) conditions and one for operation under disturbed conditions (Auto).

Energizing check

M12310-3 v12

The main purpose of the energizing check function is to facilitate the controlled re-connection of disconnected lines and buses to energized buses and lines.

The energizing check function measures the bus and line voltages and compares them to both high and low threshold values. The output is given only when the actual measured conditions match the set conditions. Figure 109 shows two substations, where one (1) is energized and the other (2) is not energized. The line between CB A and CB B is energized (DLLB) from substation 1 via the circuit breaker A and energization of station 2 is done by CB B energization check device for that breaker DBLL.

The energizing operation can operate in the dead line live bus (DLLB) direction, dead bus live line (DBLL) direction, or in both directions over the circuit breaker.

it is also possible to allow closing when both sides of the breaker are dead, Dead Bus Dead Line (DBDL).
The equipment is considered energized (Live) if the voltage is above the set value for UHighBusEnerg or UHighLineEnerg of the base voltages GblBaseSelBus and GblBaseSelLine, which are defined in the Global Base Value groups; in a similar way, the equipment is considered non-energized (Dead) if the voltage is below the set value for ULowBusEnerg or ULowLineEnerg of the respective Global Base Value groups. A disconnected line can have a considerable potential due to factors such as induction from a line running in parallel, or feeding via extinguishing capacitors in the circuit breakers. This voltage can be as high as 50% or more of the base voltage of the line. Normally, for breakers with single breaking elements (<330 kV) the level is well below 30%.
When the energizing direction corresponds to the settings, the situation has to remain constant for a certain period of time before the close signal is permitted. The purpose of the delayed operate time is to ensure that the dead side remains de-energized and that the condition is not due to temporary interference.

Voltage selection

M12321-3 v11

The voltage selection function is used for the connection of appropriate voltages to the synchrocheck, synchronizing and energizing check functions. For example, when the IED is used in a double bus arrangement, the voltage that should be selected depends on the status of the breakers and/or disconnectors. By checking the status of the disconnectors auxiliary contacts, the right voltages for the synchronizing, synchrocheck and energizing check functions can be selected.

Available voltage selection types are for single circuit breaker with double busbars . Single circuit breaker with a single busbar do not need any voltage selection function. Neither does a single circuit breaker with double busbars using external voltage selection need any internal voltage selection.

The voltages from busbars and lines must be physically connected to the voltage inputs in the IED and connected, using the PCM software, to each of the SESRSYN functions available in the IED.

External fuse failure

M12322-3 v13

Either external fuse failure signals or signals from a tripped fuse (or miniature circuit breaker) are connected to HW binary inputs of the IED; these signals are connected to inputs of SESRSYN function in the application configuration tool of PCM600. The internal fuse failure supervision function can also be used if a three phase voltage is present. The signal BLKU, from the internal fuse failure supervision function, is then used and connected to the fuse supervision inputs of the SESRSYN function block. In case of a fuse failure, the SESRSYN energizing function is blocked.

The UB1OK/UB2OK and UB1FF/UB2FF inputs are related to the busbar voltage and the ULN1OK/ ULN2OK and ULN1FF/ULN2FF inputs are related to the line voltage.

External selection of energizing direction The energizing can be selected by use of the available logic function blocks. Below is an exampM1l2e322-10 v10 where the choice of mode is done from a symbol ,created in the Graphical Design Editor (GDE) tool on the local HMI, through selector switch function block, but alternatively there can for example, be a physical selector switch on the front of the panel which is connected to a binary to integer function block (B16I).

If the PSTO input is used, connected to the Local-Remote switch on the local HMI, the choice can also be from the station HMI system, typically Hitachi Energy Microscada through IEC 61850­8­1 communication.

The connection example for selection of the manual energizing mode is shown in figure 110. Selected names are just examples but note that the symbol on the local HMI can only show the active position of the virtual selector.

The input used below in example are typical and can be changed by use of configuration and signal matrix tools.

The SESRSYN and connected SMAI function block instances must have the same cycle time in the application configuration.

Setting guidelines
The setting parameters for the Synchronizing, synchrocheck and energizing check function SESRSYN are set via the local HMI (LHMI) or PCM600.

M12550-3 v16

This setting guidelines describes the settings of the SESRSYN function via the LHMI.

Common base IED value for primary voltage ( UBase ) is set in a Global base value function, GBASVAL, found under Main menu//Configuration/Power system/GlobalBaseValue/ GBASVAL_X/UBase. The SESRSYN function has one setting for the bus reference voltage (GblBaseSelBus) and one setting for the line reference voltage (GblBaseSelLine) which independently of each other can be set to select one of the twelve GBASVAL functions used for reference of base values. This means that the reference voltage of bus and line can be set to different values. The settings for the SESRSYN function are found under Main menu/Settings/IED Settings/Control/Synchronizing(25,SC/VC)/SESRSYN(25,SC/VC):X has been divided into four different setting groups: General, Synchronizing, Synchrocheck and Energizingcheck.

General settings

Operation: The operation mode can be set On or Off. The setting Off disables the whole function.

GblBaseSelBus and GblBaseSelLine
These configuration settings are used for selecting one of twelve GBASVAL functions, which then is used as base value reference voltage, for bus and line respectively.

This configuration setting is used to define type of voltage selection. Type of voltage selection can be selected as:
· no voltage selection, No voltage sel. · single circuit breaker with double bus, Double bus · 1 1/2 circuit breaker arrangement with the breaker connected to busbar 1, 1 1/2 bus CB · 1 1/2 circuit breaker arrangement with the breaker connected to busbar 2, 1 1/2 bus alt. CB · 1 1/2 circuit breaker arrangement with the breaker connected to line 1 and 2, Tie CB
PhaseShift
To compensate the phase shift between the measured bus voltage and line voltage when, for instance, a power transformer is connected between the bus VT and the line VT location.
Note that this set value is used to cause additional angle shift of the measured line voltage phasor. The measured bus voltage phasor is always taken as is (i.e. without any additional shifting).
Synchronizing settings
OperationSynch
The setting Off disables the Synchronizing function. With the setting On, the function is in the service mode and the output signal depends on the input conditions.
UHighBusSynch and UHighLineSynch
The voltage level settings shall be chosen in relation to the bus/line network voltage. The threshold voltages UHighBusSynch and UHighLineSynch have to be set lower than the value where the network is expected to be synchronized. A typical value is 80% of the rated voltage.
UDiffSynch
Setting of the voltage difference between the line voltage and the bus voltage. The difference is set depending on the network configuration and expected voltages in the two networks running asynchronously. A normal setting is 0.10-0.15 p.u.
FreqDiffMin
The setting FreqDiffMin is the minimum frequency difference where the systems are defined to be asynchronous. For frequency differences lower than this value, the systems are considered to be in parallel. A typical value for FreqDiffMin is 10 mHz. Generally, the value should be low if both synchronizing and synchrocheck functions are provided, and it is better to let the synchronizing function close, as it will close at exactly the right instance if the networks run with a frequency difference.
To avoid overlapping of the synchronizing function and the synchrocheck function the setting FreqDiffMin must be set to a higher value than used setting FreqDiffM, respective FreqDiffA used for synchrocheck.
FreqDiffMax

Section 12 Control

1MRK505393-UEN Rev. K
The setting FreqDiffMax is the maximum slip frequency at which synchronizing is accepted. 1/ FreqDiffMax shows the time for the vector to move 360 degrees, one turn on the synchronoscope, and is called Beat time. A typical value for FreqDiffMax is 200-250 mHz, which gives beat times on 4-5 seconds. Higher values should be avoided as the two networks normally are regulated to nominal frequency independent of each other, so the frequency difference shall be small.
FreqRateChange
The maximum allowed rate of change for the frequency.
CloseAngleMax
The setting CloseAngleMax is the maximum closing angle between bus and line at which synchronizing is accepted. To minimize the moment stress when synchronizing near a power station, a narrower limit should be used. A typical value is 15 degrees.
tBreaker
The tBreaker shall be set to match the closing time for the circuit breaker and should also include the possible auxiliary relays in the closing circuit. It is important to check that no slow logic components are used in the configuration of the IED as there then can be big variations in closing time due to those components. Typical setting is 80-150 ms depending on the breaker closing time.
tClosePulse
The setting for the duration of the breaker close pulse.
tMaxSynch
The setting tMaxSynch is set to reset the operation of the synchronizing function if the operation does not take place within this time. The setting must allow for the setting of FreqDiffMin, which will decide how long it will take maximum to reach phase equality. At the setting of 10 mHz, the beat time is 100 seconds and the setting would thus need to be at least tMinSynch plus 100 seconds. If the network frequencies are expected to be outside the limits from the start, a margin needs to be added. A typical setting is 600 seconds.
tMinSynch
The setting tMinSynch is set to limit the minimum time at which the synchronizing closing attempt is given. The synchronizing function will not give a closing command within this time, from when the synchronizing is started, even if a synchronizing condition is fulfilled. A typical setting is 200 ms.
Synchrocheck settings
OperationSC
The OperationSC setting Off disables the synchrocheck function and sets the outputs AUTOSYOK, MANSYOK, TSTAUTSY and TSTMANSY to low. With the setting On, the function is in the service mode and the output signal depends on the input conditions.
UHighBusSC and UHighLineSC
The voltage level settings must be chosen in relation to the bus or line network voltage. The threshold voltages UHighBusSC and UHighLineSC have to be set lower than the value at which the breaker is expected to close with the synchronism check. A typical value can be 80% of the base voltages.
UDiffSC
The setting for voltage difference between line and bus in p.u. This setting in p.u. is defined as (UBus/GblBaseSelBus) - (U-Line/GblBaseSelLine). A normal setting is 0,10-0,15 p.u.

Section 12 Control

FreqDiffM and FreqDiffA
The frequency difference level settings, FreqDiffM and FreqDiffA, shall be chosen depending on the condition in the network. At steady conditions a low frequency difference setting is needed, where the FreqDiffM setting is used. For autoreclosing a bigger frequency difference setting is preferable, where the FreqDiffA setting is used. A typical value for FreqDiffM can be10 mHz, and a typical value for FreqDiffA can be 100-200 mHz.
PhaseDiffM and PhaseDiffA
The phase angle difference level settings, PhaseDiffM and PhaseDiffA, shall also be chosen depending on conditions in the network. The phase angle setting must be chosen to allow closing under maximum load condition. A typical maximum value in heavy-loaded networks can be 45 degrees, whereas in most networks the maximum occurring angle is below 25 degrees. The PhaseDiffM setting is a limitation to PhaseDiffA setting. Fluctuations occurring at high speed autoreclosing limit PhaseDiffA setting.
tSCM and tSCA
The purpose of the timer delay settings, tSCM and tSCA, is to ensure that the synchrocheck conditions remains constant and that the situation is not due to a temporary interference. Should the conditions not persist for the specified time, the delay timer is reset and the procedure is restarted when the conditions are fulfilled again. Circuit breaker closing is thus not permitted until the synchrocheck situation has remained constant throughout the set delay setting time. Manual closing is normally under more stable conditions and a longer operation time delay setting is needed, where the tSCM setting is used. During auto-reclosing, a shorter operation time delay setting is preferable, where the tSCA setting is used. A typical value for tSCM can be 1 second and a typical value for tSCA can be 0.1 seconds.
Energizingcheck settings
AutoEnerg and ManEnerg
Two different settings can be used for automatic and manual closing of the circuit breaker. The settings for each of them are:
· Off, the energizing function is disabled. · DLLB, Dead Line Live Bus, the line voltage is below set value of ULowLineEnerg and the bus
voltage is above set value of UHighBusEnerg. · DBLL, Dead Bus Live Line, the bus voltage is below set value of ULowBusEnerg and the line
voltage is above set value of UHighLineEnerg. · Both, energizing can be done in both directions, DLLB or DBLL.
ManEnergDBDL
If the parameter is set to On, manual closing is also enabled when both line voltage and bus voltage are below ULowLineEnerg and ULowBusEnerg respectively, and ManEnerg is set to DLLB, DBLL or Both.
UHighBusEnerg and UHighLineEnerg
The voltage level settings must be chosen in relation to the bus or line network voltage. The threshold voltages UHighBusEnerg and UHighLineEnerg have to be set lower than the value at which the network is considered to be energized. A typical value can be 80% of the base voltages.
ULowBusEnerg and ULowLineEnerg
The threshold voltages ULowBusEnerg and ULowLineEnerg, have to be set to a value greater than the value where the network is considered not to be energized. A typical value can be 40% of the base voltages.

A disconnected line can have a considerable potential due to, for instance, induction from a line running in parallel, or by being fed via the extinguishing capacitors in the circuit breakers. This voltage can be as high as 30% or more of the base line voltage.
Because the setting ranges of the threshold voltages UHighBusEnerg/UHighLineEnerg and ULowBusEnerg/ULowLineEnerg partly overlap each other, the setting conditions may be such that the setting of the non-energized threshold value is higher than that of the energized threshold value. The parameters must therefore be set carefully to avoid overlapping.
UMaxEnerg
To block the closing when the voltage on the live side is above the set value of UMaxEnerg.
tAutoEnerg and tManEnerg
The purpose of the timer delay settings, tAutoEnerg and tManEnerg, is to ensure that the dead side remains de-energized and that the condition is not due to a temporary interference. Should the conditions not persist for the specified time, the delay timer is reset and the procedure is restarted when the conditions are fulfilled again. Circuit breaker closing is thus not permitted until the energizing condition has remained constant throughout the set delay setting time.

Automatic reclosing is a well-established method for the restoration of service in a power system after a transient line fault. The majority of line faults are flashovers, which are transient by nature. When the power line is switched off by the operation of line protection and line breakers, the arc deionizes and recovers its ability to withstand voltage at a somewhat variable rate. Thus, a certain dead time with a de-energized line is necessary. Line service can then be resumed by automatic reclosing of the line breakers. The dead time selected should be long enough to ensure a high probability of arc de-ionization and successful reclosing.

For individual line breakers, auto reclosing equipment, the required circuit breaker dead time is used to determine the "dead time" setting value. When simultaneous tripping and reclosing at the two line ends occurs, line dead time is approximately equal to the auto recloser "dead time". If the auto reclosing dead time and line "dead time" differ then, the line will be energized until the breakers at both ends have opened.

Single-shot automatic reclosing at a permanent fault

Single-phase tripping and single-phase automatic reclosing is a way of limiting the effect of a singlephase line fault on power system operation. Especially at higher voltage levels, the majority of faults are of single-phase type (around 90%). To maintain system stability in power systems with limited meshing or parallel routing single-phase auto reclosing is of particular value. During the single-phase dead time the system is still capable of transmitting load on the two healthy phases and the system is still synchronized. It requires that each circuit breaker pole can be operated individually, which is usually the case for higher transmission voltages.

A somewhat longer dead time may be required for single-phase reclosing compared to high-speed three-phase reclosing. This is due to the influence on the fault arc from the voltage and the current in the non-faulted phases.

To maximize the availability of the power system it is possible to choose single-phase tripping and automatic reclosing during single-phase faults and three-phase tripping and automatic reclosing during multi-phase faults. Three-phase automatic reclosing can be performed with or without the use of synchrocheck.

During the single-phase dead time there is an equivalent "series"-fault in the system resulting in a flow of zero sequence current. It is therefore necessary to coordinate the residual current protections (earth fault protection) with the single-phase tripping and the auto reclosing function. Attention shall also be paid to "pole discordance" that arises when circuit breakers are provided with single-phase operating devices. These breakers need pole discordance protection. They must also be coordinated with the single-phase auto recloser and blocked during the dead time when a normal discordance occurs. Alternatively, they should use a trip time longer than the set single-phase dead time.

For the individual line breakers and auto reclosing equipment, the auto reclosing dead time expression is used. This is the dead time setting for the auto recloser. During simultaneous tripping and reclosing at the two line ends, auto reclosing dead time is approximately equal to the line dead time. Otherwise these two times may differ as one line end might have a slower trip than the other end which means that the line will not be dead until both ends have opened.

1MRK505393-UEN Rev. K

If the fault is permanent, the line protection will trip again when reclosing is attempted in order to clear the fault.
It is common to use one automatic reclosing function per line circuit breaker (CB). When one CB per line end is used, then there is one auto- recloser per line end. If auto reclosers are included in duplicated line protection, which means two auto reclosers per CB, one should take measures to avoid uncoordinated reclosing commands. In 1 1/2 breaker, double-breaker and ring bus arrangements, two CBs per line end are operated. One auto recloser per CB is recommended. Arranged in such a way, that sequential reclosing of the two CBs can be arranged with a priority circuit available in the auto recloser. In case of a permanent fault and unsuccessful reclosing of the first CB, reclosing of the second CB is cancelled and thus the stress on the power system is limited.
The auto recloser can be selected to perform single-phase and/or three-phase automatic reclosing from several single-shot to multiple-shot reclosing programs. The three-phase auto reclosing dead time can be set to give either High-Speed Automatic Reclosing (HSAR) or Delayed Automatic Reclosing (DAR). These expressions, HSAR and DAR, are mostly used for three-phase auto reclosing as single-phase auto reclosing is always high speed to avoid maintaining the unsymmetrical condition. HSAR usually means a dead time of less than 1 second.
In power transmission systems it is common practice to apply single- and/or three-phase, single-shot auto reclosing. In sub-transmission and distribution systems tripping and auto reclosing are usually three-phase. The mode of automatic reclosing varies however. Single-shot and multi-shot are in use. The first shot can have a short delay, HSAR, or a longer delay, DAR. The second and following reclosing shots have a rather long delay. When multiple shots are used the dead time must harmonize with the breaker duty-cycle capacity.
Automatic reclosing is usually started by the line protection and in particular by instantaneous tripping of such protection. The auto recloser can be inhibited (blocked) when certain protection functions detecting permanent faults, such as shunt reactor, cable or busbar protection are in operation. Backup protection zones indicating faults outside the own line are typically connected to inhibit the auto recloser.
Automatic reclosing should not be attempted when closing a CB and energizing a line onto a fault (SOTF), except when multiple-shots are used where shots 2 etc. will be started at SOTF. Likewise a CB in a multi-breaker busbar arrangement which was not closed when a fault occurred should not be closed by operation of the auto recloser. Auto reclosing is often combined with a release condition from synchrocheck and dead line or dead busbar check. In order to limit the stress on turbo generator sets from auto reclosing onto a permanent fault, one can arrange to combine auto reclosing with a synchrocheck on line terminals close to such power stations and attempt energizing from the side furthest away from the power station and perform the synchrocheck at the local end if the energizing was successful.
Transmission protection systems are usually sub-divided and provided with two redundant protection IEDs. In such systems it is common to provide auto reclosing in only one of the sub-systems as the requirement is for fault clearance and a failure to reclose because of the auto recloser being out of service is not considered a major disturbance. If two auto reclosers are provided on the same breaker, the application must be carefully checked and normally one must be the master and be connected to inhibit the other auto recloser if it has started. This inhibit can, for example, be done from an auto recloser for 3-phase operation in progress signal.
When Single and/or three phase auto reclosing is considered, there are a number of cases where the tripping shall be three phase anyway. For example:
· Evolving fault where the fault during the dead-time spreads to another phase. The other two phases must then be tripped and a three phase dead-time and auto reclose initiated
· Permanent fault · Fault during three-phase dead time · Auto recloser out of service or circuit breaker not ready for an auto reclosing cycle
"Prepare three-phase tripping" is then used to switch the tripping to three-phase. This signal is generated by the auto recloser and connected to the trip function block and also connected outside

the IED through IO when a common auto recloser is provided for two sub-systems. An alternative signal "Prepare 1-phase tripping" is also provided and can be used as an alternative when the autorecloser is shared with another subsystem. This provides a fail safe connection so that even a failure in the IED with the auto recloser will mean that the other sub-system will start a three-phase trip.
A permanent fault will cause the line protection to trip again when it recloses in an attempt to energize the line.
The auto reclosing function allows a number of parameters to be adjusted.
Examples:
· number of auto reclosing shots · auto reclosing program · auto reclosing dead times for each shot

Auto reclosing operation Off and On

M12391-91 v6

Operation of the automatic recloser can be set to Off and On by a setting parameter or by external control. The setting parameter Operation = Off, or On sets the function to Off or On. With the settings Operation = On and ExternalCtrl = On , the control is made by input signal pulses to the inputs On and Off, for example, from a control system or by a control switch.

When the auto recloser is set On, the SETON output is set, and the auto recloser becomes operative if other conditions such as circuit breaker is closed and circuit breaker is ready are also fulfilled, the READY output is activated (high). Then the auto recloser is ready to accept a start.

Start auto reclosing and conditions for start of a reclosing cycle

M12391-94 v5

The usual way to start an auto reclosing cycle, or sequence, is to start it at selective tripping by line protection by applying a signal to the START input. Starting signals can be either, general trip signals or, only the conditions for differential, distance protection zone 1 and distance protection aided trip. In some cases also directional earth fault protection aided trip can be connected to start an auto reclose attempt. If general trip is used to start the auto recloser it is important to block it from other functions that should not start an auto reclosing sequence.

In cases where one wants to differentiate three-phase auto reclosing dead time, for different power system configuration or at tripping by different protection stages, one can also use the STARTHS input (start high-speed reclosing). When initiating STARTHS , the auto reclosing dead time for threephase shot 1, t1 3PhHS is used and the closing is done without checking the synchrocheck condition.

A number of conditions need to be fulfilled for the start to be accepted and a new auto reclosing cycle to be started. They are linked to dedicated inputs. The inputs are:

· CBREADY, circuit breaker ready for a reclosing cycle, for example, charged operating gear. · CBCLOSED to ensure that the circuit breaker was closed when the line fault occurred and start
was applied. · No signal at INHIBIT input that is, no blocking or inhibit signal present. After the start has been
accepted, it is latched in and an internal signal "start" is set. It can be interrupted by certain events, like an "inhibit" signal.

Start auto reclosing from circuit breaker open information

M12391-100 v6

If a user wants to initiate auto reclosing from the circuit breaker open position instead of from protection trip signals, the function offers such a possibility. This starting mode is selected with the setting parameter StartByCBOpen=On. Typically a circuit breaker auxiliary contact of type NO (normally open) is connected to CBCLOSED and START . When the signal changes from circuit

breaker closed to circuit breaker open an auto reclosing start pulse is generated and latched in the function, subject to the usual checks. The auto reclosing sequence continues then as usual. Signals from manual tripping and other functions, which shall prevent auto reclosing, need to be connected to the INHIBIT input.

Blocking of the auto recloser

M12391-103 v4

Auto reclose attempts are expected to take place only for faults on the own line. The auto recloser must be blocked by activating the INHIBIT input for the following conditions:

· Tripping from delayed distance protection zones · Tripping from back-up protection functions · Tripping from breaker failure function · Intertrip received from remote end circuit breaker failure function · Busbar protection tripping

Depending of the starting principle (general trip or only instantaneous trip) adopted above the delayed and back-up zones might not be required. Breaker failure trip local and remote must however always be connected.

Control of the auto reclosing dead time for shot 1

M12391-113 v5

Up to four different time settings can be used for the first shot, and one extension time. There are separate settings for single-, two- and three-phase auto reclosing dead time, t1 1Ph, t1 2Ph, t1 3Ph. If no particular input signal is applied, and an auto reclosing program with single-phase auto reclosing is selected, the auto reclosing dead time t1 1Ph will be used. If one of the TR2P or TR3P inputs is activated in connection with the start, the auto reclosing dead time for two-phase or threephase auto reclosing is used. There is also a separate time setting facility for three-phase high-speed auto reclosing without synchrocheck, t1 3PhHS, available for use when required. It is activated by the STARTHS input.

A time extension delay, tExtended t1, can be added to the dead time delay for the first shot. It is intended to come into use if the communication channel for permissive line protection is lost. In a case like this there can be a significant time difference in fault clearance at the two line ends, where a longer auto reclosing dead time can be useful. This time extension is controlled by the setting Extended t1 = On and the PLCLOST input. If this functionality is used the auto recloser start must also be allowed from distance protection zone 2 time delayed trip. Time extension delay is not possible to add to the three-phase high-speed auto reclosing dead time, t1 3PhHS.

Long trip signal

M12391-117 v4

In normal circumstances the auto recloser is started with a protection trip command which resets quickly due to fault clearing. The user can set a maximum start pulse duration tLongStartInh. This start pulse duration time is controlled by setting LongStartInhib.

When start pulse duration signal is longer than set maximum start pulse duration, the auto reclosing sequence interrupts in the same way as for a signal to the INHIBIT input.

Maximum number of reclosing shots

M12391-120 v7

The maximum number of auto reclosing shots in an auto reclosing cycle is selected by the setting NoOfShots. A maximum of five shots can be done. The type of auto reclosing used at the first auto reclosing shot is set by the setting ARMode. The first alternative is three-phase auto reclosing. The other alternatives include some single-phase or two-phase auto reclosing. Usually there is no twophase tripping arranged, and then there will be no two-phase auto reclosing.

The decision for single- and three-phase trip is also made in the tripping logic (SMPTTRC) function block where the setting 3 phase, 1ph/3Ph (or 1ph/2ph/3Ph) is selected.

M12391-124 v5

Three-phase auto reclosing, one to five shots according to the NoOfShots setting. The prepare threephase trip PREP3P output is always set (high). A trip operation is made as a three-phase trip for all type of faults. The auto reclosing is as a three-phase auto reclosing as in mode 1/2/3ph described below. All signals, blockings, inhibits, timers, requirements and so on, are the same as in the example described below.

ARMode = 1/2/3ph

M12391-127 v8

Single-phase, two-phase or three-phase auto reclosing first shot, followed by 3-phase auto reclosing shots, if selected. Here, the auto recloser is assumed to be "On" and "Ready". The circuit breaker is closed and the operation gear ready (operating energy stored). START input (or STARTHS) is received and sealed-in. The READY output is reset (set to false). ACTIVE output is set.

· If TR2P and TR3P inputs are low (i.e. single-phase trip): The timer for single-phase auto reclosing dead time is started and the 1PT1 output (single-phase reclosing in progress) is activated. It can be used to suppress pole disagreement and earth-fault protection trip during the single-phase dead time interval..
· If TR2P input is high and TR3P input is low (i.e. two-phase trip): The timer for two-phase auto reclosing dead time is started and the 2PT1 output (two-phase reclosing in progress) is activated.
· If TR3P input is high (i.e. three-phase trip): The timer for three-phase auto reclosing dead time, t1 3Ph or t1 3PhHS, is started depending on if START or STARTHS input has been activated and 3PT1 output (three-phase reclosing shot 1 in progress) is set..

While any of the auto reclosing dead time timers are running, the INPROGR output is activated. When the dead time runs out, the respective internal signal is transmitted to the output module for further checks and to issue a breaker closing command.

When a circuit breaker closing command is issued, the prepare three-phase output trip is set. When issuing a circuit breaker closing command the tReclaim timer is started. If no tripping takes place during that time, the auto recloser resets to the "Ready" state and the ACTIVE output resets. If the first reclosing shot fails, a three-phase trip will be initiated and three-phase reclosing can follow, if selected.

The connection example for selection of the auto reclosing mode is shown in Figure 115.

Auto reclosing reclaim timer

M12391-202 v4

The tReclaim timer defines the time it takes from issue of the breaker closing command, until the auto recloser resets. Should a new trip occur during this time, it is treated as a continuation of the first fault. The reclaim timer is started when the circuit breaker closing command is given.

12.2.2.16

Pulsing of the circuit breaker closing command and counter

M12391-205 v4

The circuit breaker closing command, CLOSECB is given as a pulse with a duration set by the tPulse setting. For circuit breakers without an anti-pumping function, close pulse cutting can be used. It is selected by the CutPulse setting. In case of a new start pulse (trip), the breaker closing command pulse is then cut (interrupted). The minimum breaker closing command pulse length is always 50ms. At the issue of the breaker closing command, the appropriate auto recloser operation counter is incremented. There is a counter for each type of auto reclosing command and one for the total number of auto reclosing commands.

12.2.2.17

Transient fault

M12391-208 v4

After the breaker closing command the reclaim timer keeps running for the set tReclaim time. If no start (trip) occurs within this time, the auto recloser will reset. The circuit breaker remains closed and the operating gear recharges. The CBCLOSED and CBREADY input signals will be set.

12.2.2.18

Permanent fault and reclosing unsuccessful signal

M12391-211 v5

If a new start occurs, and the number of auto reclosing shots is set to 1, and a new START or TRSOTF input signal appears, after the circuit breaker closing command, the UNSUCCL output (unsuccessful reclosing) is set high. The timer for the first shot can no longer be started. Depending on the set number of auto reclosing shots further shots may be made or the auto reclosing sequence is ended. After reclaim timer time-out the auto recloser resets, but the circuit breaker remains open. The circuit breaker closed information through the CBCLOSED input is missing. Thus, the auto recloser is not ready for a new auto reclosing cycle. Normally, the UNSUCCL output appears when a new start is received after the last auto reclosing shot has been made and the auto recloser is inhibited. The output signal resets after reclaim time. The "unsuccessful" signal can also be made to depend on the circuit breaker position input. The UnsucClByCBChk setting should then be set to CBCheck, and the tUnsucCl timer should be set too. If the circuit breaker does not respond to the breaker closing command and does not close, but remains open, the UNSUCCL output is set high after the set tUnsucCl time. The UNSUCCL output can for example, be used in multi-breaker arrangement to cancel the auto reclosing for the second circuit breaker, if the first circuit breaker closed onto a persistent fault. It can also be used to generate a lock-out of manual circuit breaker closing until the operator has reset the lock-out, see separate section.

12.2.2.19

Lock-out initiation

binary I/O as required. Many alternative ways of performing the logic exist depending on whether manual circuit breaker closing is interlocked in the IED, whether an external physical lock-out relay exists and whether the reset is hardwired, or carried out by means of communication. There are also different alternatives regarding what shall generate lock-out. Examples of questions are:

· shall back-up time delayed trip give lock-out (normally yes) · shall lock-out be generated when closing onto a fault (mostly) · shall lock-out be generated when the auto recloser is Off at the fault or for example, in single-
phase auto recloser mode and the fault was multi-phase (normally not as no closing attempt has been given) · shall lock-out be generated if the circuit breaker did not have sufficient operating power for an auto reclosing sequence (normally not as no auto closing attempt has been given)

In Figures 116 and 117 the logic shows how a closing lock-out logic can be designed with the lockout relay as an external relay alternatively with the lock-out created internally with the manual closing going through the synchrocheck function. An example of lock-out logic.

Section 12 Control

The auto recloser will first receive a start signal (START) without any three-phase signal (TR3P). The auto recloser will start a single-phase auto reclosing sequence, if programmed to do so. At the evolving fault clearance there will be a new START signal and three-phase trip information, TR3P. The single-phase auto reclosing sequence will then be stopped, and instead the timer, t1 3Ph, for three-phase auto reclosing will be started from zero. The sequence will continue as a three-phase auto reclosing sequence, if it is a selected alternative reclosing mode. The second fault which can be single-phase is tripped three-phase because the trip function (SMPPTRC) in the IED has an evolving fault timer which ensures that the second fault is always tripped three-phase. For other types of relays where the relays do not include this function, the PREP3PH output (or the inverted PERMIT1PH output) is used to prepare the other sub-system for three-phase tripping. This signal will, for evolving fault situations, be activated a short time after the first trip has reset and will thus ensure that new starts (trips) will be three phase.

12.2.2.21

Automatic continuation of the auto reclosing sequence

M12391-223 v5

The auto recloser can be programmed to proceed to the next auto reclosing shots (if multiple shots are selected) even if start signals are not received from protection functions, but the circuit breaker is still not closed. This is done by setting AutoCont = On and tAutoContWait to the required delay for the function to proceed without a new start.

12.2.2.22

Thermal overload protection holding the auto recloser back

M12391-226 v3

If the THOLHOLD input (thermal overload protection holding auto reclosing back) is activated, it will keep the auto recloser on a hold until it is reset. There may thus be a considerable delay between start of the auto recloser and the breaker closing command to the circuit breaker. An external logic limiting the time and sending an inhibit to the INHIBIT input can be used. The input can also be used to set the auto recloser on hold for a longer or shorter period.

BLKOFF

Used to unblock the auto recloser when it has been blocked due to activating BLKON input or by an unsuccessful auto reclosing attempt if the BlockByUnsucCl setting is set to On.

BLKON

Used to block the auto recloser, for example, when certain special service conditions arise. When used, blocking must be reset with BLKOFF.

CBCLOSED and CBREADY

These binary inputs should pick-up information from the circuit breaker. At three operating gears in the circuit breaker (single pole operated circuit breakers) the connection should be "All poles closed" (series connection of the NO contacts) or "At least one pole open" (parallel connection of NC contacts). The CBREADY is a signal meaning that the circuit breaker is ready for an auto reclosing operation, either Close-Open (CO), or Open-Close-Open (OCO). If the available signal is of type

"circuit breaker not charged" or "not ready", an inverter can be inserted in front of the CBREADY input.
INHIBIT
To this input shall be connected signals that interrupt an auto reclosing cycle or prevent a start from being accepted. Such signals can come from protection for a line connected shunt reactor, from transfer trip receive, from back-up protection functions, busbar protection trip or from breaker failure protection. When the circuit breaker open position is set to start the auto recloser, then manual opening must also be connected here. The inhibit is often a combination of signals from external IEDs via the I/O and internal functions. An OR-gate is then used for the combination.
MODEINT
The auto reclosing mode is selected with the ARMode setting. As an alternative to the setting, the mode can be selected by connecting an integer, for example from function block B16I, to the MODEINT input. The six possible modes are described in table 6 with their corresponding MODEINT integer value. When a valid integer is connected to the input MODEINT the selected ARMode setting will be invalid and the MODEINT input value will be used instead. The selected mode is reported as an integer on the MODE output.
ON and OFF
These inputs can be connected to binary inputs or to a communication interface block for external control.
PLCLOST
This is intended for line protection permissive signal channel lost (fail) for example, PLC= Power Line Carrier failure. It can be connected, when it is required to prolong the auto reclosing dead time when communication is not working, that is, one line end might trip with a zone2 delay. If this is used the auto recloser must also be started from zone2 time delayed trip.
RESET
Used to reset the auto recloser to start conditions. Possible hold by thermal overload protection will be reset. Circuit breaker position will be checked and time settings will be restarted with their set times.
RSTCOUNT
There is a counter for each type of auto reclosing and one for the total number of circuit breaker close commands issued. All counters are reset with the RSTCOUNT input or by an IEC 61850 command.
SKIPHS
The high-speed auto reclosing sequence can be skipped and be replaced by normal auto reclosing sequence by activating SKIPHS input before the STARTHS high-speed start input is activated. The replacement is done for the 1st shot.
START
The START input should be connected to the trip function (SMPPTRC) output, which starts the auto recloser for 1/2/3-phase operation. It can also be connected to a binary input for start from an external contact. A logical OR-gate can be used to combine the number of start sources.
If StartByCBOpen is used, the circuit breaker open condition shall also be connected to the START input.

Section 12 Control

STARTHS, Start high-speed auto reclosing
It may be used when one wants to use two different dead times in different protection trip operations. This input starts the dead time t1 3PhHS. High-speed reclosing shot 1 started by this input is without a synchronization check.
SYNC
This input is connected to the internal synchrocheck function when required or to an external device for synchronism. If neither internal nor external synchronism or energizing check is required, it can be connected to a permanently high source, TRUE. The signal is required for three-phase shots 1-5 to proceed (Note! Not the high-speed step).
THOLHOLD
Signal "Thermal overload protection holding back auto reclosing". It can be connected to a thermal overload protection trip signal which resets only when the thermal content has fallen to an acceptable level, for example, 70%. As long as the signal is high, indicating that the line is hot, the auto reclosing is held back. When the signal resets, a reclosing cycle will continue. Observe that this have a considerable delay. Input can also be used for other purposes if for some reason the auto reclosing shot needs to be halted.
TR2P and TR3P
Signals for two-phase and three-phase trip. They are usually connected to the corresponding output of the trip function block. They control the choice of dead time and the auto reclosing cycle according to the selected program. Signal TR2P needs to be connected only if the trip function block has been selected to give 1ph/2ph/3ph trip and an auto reclosing cycle with two phase reclosing is foreseen.
TRSOTF
This is the signal "Trip by Switch Onto Fault". It is usually connected to the "switch onto fault" output of line protection if multi-shot auto reclosing attempts are used. The input will start the shots two to five.
ZONESTEP
The ZONESTEP input is used when coordination between local auto reclosers and down stream auto reclosers is needed. When this input is activated the auto recloser increases its actual shot number by one and enters "reclaim time" status. If a start is received during this reclaim time the auto recloser is proceeding as usual but with the dead time for the increased shot number. Every new increase of the shot number needs a new activation of the ZONESTEP input. This functionality is controlled by the setting ZoneSeqCoord.

Recommendations for output signals Please see Figure 118 and default factory configuration for examples.

Auto recloser settings

GUID-74980A07-CF89-488F-AB17-E5351D0032EE v1

The settings for the auto recloser are set using the local HMI (LHMI) or PCM600.

This setting guideline describes the settings of the auto recloser using the LHMI.

The settings for the auto recloser are found under Main menu /Settings /IED Settings /Control / AutoRecloser(79,5(0->1)) /SMBRREC(79,5(0->)):X and have been divided into four different setting groups: General, CircuitBreaker, DeadTime and MasterSlave.

General settings

Operation: The operation of the auto recloser can be switched On or Off.

ExternalCtrl: This setting makes it possible to switch the auto recloser On or Off using an external switch via IO or communication ports.

ARMode: There are six different possibilities in the selection of auto reclosing programs. The type of auto reclosing used for different kinds of faults depends on the power system configuration and the users practices and preferences. When the circuit breaker only have three-phase operation, then three-phase auto reclosing has to be chosen. This is usually the case in sub-transmission and distribution lines. Three-phase tripping and reclosing for all types of faults is also widely accepted in completely meshed power systems. In transmission systems with few parallel circuits, single-phase reclosing for single-phase faults is an attractive alternative for maintaining service and system stability.

Section 12 Control

AutoContinue: Automatic continuation to the next shot if the circuit breaker is not closed within the set time of tAutoContWait. The normal setting is AutoContinue = Off.
tAutoContWait: This is the length in time the auto recloser waits to see if the circuit breaker is closed when AutoContinue is set to On. Normally, the setting of tAutoContWait can be 2 sec.
StartByCBOpen: The normal setting Off is used when the function is started by protection trip signals. If set On the start of the auto recloser is controlled by an circuit breaker auxiliary contact.
LongStartInhib: Usually the protection trip command, used as an auto reclosing start signal, resets quickly as the fault is cleared. A prolonged trip command may depend on a circuit breaker failing to clear the fault. A protection trip signal present when the circuit breaker is reclosed will result in a new trip. The user can set a maximum start pulse duration time tLongStartInh. This start pulse duration time is controlled by the LongStartInhib setting. When the start pulse duration signal is longer than set maximum start pulse duration, the auto reclosing sequence interrupts in the same way as for a signal to the INHIBIT input.
tLongStartInh: The user can set a maximum start pulse duration time tLongStartInh. At a set time somewhat longer than the auto reclosing dead time, this facility will not influence the auto reclosing. A typical setting of tLongStartInh could be close to the auto reclosing dead time.
tInhibit: To ensure reliable interruption and temporary blocking of the auto recloser a resetting time delay tInhibit is used. The auto recloser will be blocked this time after the deactivation of the INHIBIT input. A typical resetting delay is 5.0 s.
ZoneSeqCoord: The ZONESTEP input is used when coordination between local auto reclosers and down stream auto reclosers is needed. When this input is activated the auto recloser increases its actual shot number by one and enters "reclaim time" status. If a start is received during this reclaim time the auto recloser is proceeding as usual but with the dead time for the increased shot number. Every new increase of the shot number needs a new activation of the ZONESTEP input. The setting NoOfShots limits of course the possibility to increase the shot number. This functionality is controlled by the setting ZoneSeqCoord.
CircuitBreaker settings
CBReadyType: The selection depends on the type of performance available from the circuit breaker operating gear. At setting OCO (circuit breaker ready for an Open ­ Close ­ Open cycle), the condition is checked only at the start of the auto reclosing cycle. The signal will disappear after tripping, but the circuit breaker will still be able to perform the C-O sequence. For the selection CO (circuit breaker ready for a Close ­ Open cycle) the condition is also checked after the set auto reclosing dead time. This selection has a value first of all at multi-shot auto reclosing to ensure that the circuit breaker is ready for a C-O sequence at shot two and further shots. During single-shot auto reclosing, the OCO selection can be used. A breaker shall according to its duty cycle always have storing energy for a CO operation after the first trip. (IEC 56 duty cycle is O ­ 0.3sec ­ CO ­ 3min ­ CO).
FollowCB: The usual setting is Follow CB = Off. The setting On can be used for delayed auto reclosing with long delay, to cover the case when a circuit breaker is being manually closed during the auto reclosing dead time before the auto recloser has issued its breaker close command.
UnsucClByCBChk: The normal setting is NoCBCheck and the auto reclosing unsuccessful event is then decided by a new trip within the reclaim time after the last reclosing shot. If one wants to get the UNSUCCL (Reclosing is unsuccessful) signal in the case the circuit breaker does not respond to the circuit breaker close command, one can set UnsucClByCBCheck = CB Check and set tUnsucCl for instance to 1.0 s.
BlockByUnsucCl: Setting of whether an unsuccessful auto reclosing attempt shall set the auto recloser in blocked status. If used the BLKOFF input must be configured to unblock the function after an unsuccessful auto reclosing attempt. Normal setting is Off.

Section 12 Control

1MRK505393-UEN Rev. K
CutPulse: In circuit breakers without anti-pumping relays, the setting CutPulse = On can be used to avoid repeated closing operation when reclosing onto a fault. A new start will then cut the ongoing pulse.
tPulse: The circuit breaker closing command should be long enough to ensure reliable operation of the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker closing command pulse has a duration set by the tPulse setting. A typical setting may be tPulse = 200 ms. A longer pulse setting may facilitate dynamic indication at testing, for example, in debug mode of the Application Configuration Tool (ACT) in PCM600. In circuit breakers without anti-pumping relays, the setting CutPulse = On can be used to avoid repeated closing operations when reclosing onto a fault. A new start will then cut the ongoing pulse.
tReclaim: The reclaim time sets the time for resetting the function to its original state, after which a line fault and tripping will be treated as an independent new case with a new auto reclosing cycle. One may consider a nominal CB duty cycle of for instance, O ­ 0.3sec ­ CO ­ 3min ­ CO. However the 3 minute (180 s) recovery time is usually not critical as fault levels are mostly lower than rated value and the risk of a new fault within a short time is negligible. A typical time may be tReclaim = 60 or 180 s dependent on the fault level and circuit breaker duty cycle.
tSync: Maximum wait time for fulfilled synchrocheck conditions. The time window should be coordinated with the operate time and other settings of the synchrocheck function. Attention should also be paid to the possibility of a power swing when reclosing after a line fault. Too short a time may prevent a potentially successful auto reclosing.
tCBClosedMin: A typical setting is 5.0 s. If the circuit breaker has not been closed for at least this minimum time, an auto reclosing start will not be accepted.
tSuccessful: If the circuit breaker closing command is given and the circuit breaker is closed within the set time interval tUnsucCl, the SUCCL output is activated after the set time interval tSuccessful.
tUnsucCl: The reclaim timer, tReclaim, is started each time a circuit breaker closing command is given. If no start occurs within this time, the auto recloser will reset. A new start received in "reclaim time" status will reenter the auto recloser to "in progress" status as long as the final shot is not reached. The auto recloser will reset and enter "inactive" status if a new start is given during the final reclaim time. This will also happen if the circuit breaker has not closed within set time interval tUnsucCl at the end of the reclaim time. This latter case is controlled by setting UnsucClByCBChk. The auto reclosing sequence is considered unsuccessful for both above cases and the UNSUCCL output is activated.
DeadTime settings
NoOfShots: In power transmission one shot is mostly used. In most cases one auto reclosing shot is sufficient as the majority of arcing faults will cease after the first auto reclosing shot. In power systems with many other types of faults caused by other phenomena, for example wind, a greater number of auto reclosing attempts (shots) can be motivated.
t1 1Ph, t1 2Ph, t1 3Ph: There are separate settings for the first shot for single-, two- and three-phase auto reclosing dead times.
Single-phase auto reclosing dead time: A typical setting is t1 1Ph = 800ms. Due to the influence of energized phases the arc extinction may not be instantaneous. In long lines with high voltage the use of shunt reactors in the form of a star with a neutral reactor improves the arc extinction.
Three-phase auto reclosing dead time: Different local phenomena, such as moisture, salt, pollution, can influence the required dead time. Some users apply Delayed Auto Reclosing (DAR) with delays of 10s or more.
Extended t1: The time extension below is controlled by the Extended t1 setting.
tExtended t1: A time extension delay, tExtended t1, can be added to the dead time delay for the first shot. It is intended to come into use if the communication channel for permissive line protection is

lost. The communication link in a permissive (not strict) line protection scheme, for instance a power line carrier (PLC) link, may not always be available. If lost, it can result in delayed tripping at one end of a line. There is a possibility to extend the auto reclosing dead time in such a case by use of the PLCLOST input, and the tExtended t1 setting. Typical setting in such a case: Extended t1 = On and tExtended t1 = 0.8 s.
t1 3PhHS: There is also a separate time setting facility for three-phase high-speed auto reclosing, t1 3PhHS. This high-speed auto reclosing is activated by the STARTHS input and is used when auto reclosing is done without the requirement of synchrocheck conditions to be fulfilled. A typical dead time is 400ms.
t2 3Ph, t3 3Ph, t4 3Ph, t5 3Ph: The delay of auto reclosing shot two and possible later shots are usually set at 30s or more. A check that the circuit breaker duty cycle can manage the selected setting must be done. The setting can in some cases be restricted by national regulations. For multiple shots the setting of shots two to five must be longer than the circuit breaker duty cycle time.
MasterSlave settings
Priority: In single circuit breaker applications, one sets Priority = None. At sequential reclosing the auto recloser for the first circuit breaker, e.g. near the busbar, is set as master (High) and the auto recloser for the second circuit breaker is set as slave (Low).
tWaitForMaster: The slave should take the duration of the circuit breaker closing time of the master into consideration before sending the circuit breaker closing command. A setting tWaitForMaster sets a maximum wait time for the WAIT input to reset. If the wait time expires, the auto reclosing cycle of the slave is inhibited. The maximum wait time, tWaitForMaster for the second circuit breaker is set longer than the auto reclosing dead time plus a margin for synchrocheck conditions to be fulfilled for the first circuit breaker. Typical setting is 2sec.
tSlaveDeadTime: When activating the WAIT input, in the auto recloser set as slave, every dead timer is changed to the value of setting tSlaveDeadTime and holds back the auto reclosing operation. When the WAIT input is reset at the time of a successful reclosing of the first circuit breaker, the slave is released to continue the auto reclosing sequence after the set tSlaveDeadTime. The reason for shortening the time, for the normal dead timers with the value of tSlaveDeadTime, is to give the slave permission to react almost immediately when the WAIT input resets. The minimum settable time for tSlaveDeadTime is 0.1sec because both master and slave should not send the circuit breaker closing command at the same time.

Bay control QCBAY

M16595-3 v10

The Bay control (QCBAY) is used to handle the selection of the operator place per bay. The function gives permission to operate from two main types of locations either from Remote (for example, control centre or station HMI) or from Local (local HMI on the IED) or from all (Local and Remote). The Local/Remote switch position can also be set to Off, which means no operator place selected that is, operation is not possible either from local or from remote.

For IEC 61850-8-1 communication, the Bay Control function can be set to discriminate between commands with orCat station and remote (2 and 3). The selection is then done through the IEC 61850-8-1 edition 2 command LocSta.

QCBAY also provides blocking functions that can be distributed to different apparatuses within the bay. There are two different blocking alternatives:

· Blocking of update of positions · Blocking of commands

Switch controller SCSWI

M16596-3 v7

SCSWI may handle and operate on one three-phase device or three one-phase switching devices.

After the selection of an apparatus and before the execution, the switch controller performs the following checks and actions:

· A request initiates to reserve other bays to prevent simultaneous operation. · Actual position inputs for interlocking information are read and evaluated if the operation is
permitted. · The synchrocheck/synchronizing conditions are read and checked, and performs operation upon
positive response. · The blocking conditions are evaluated · The position indications are evaluated according to given command and its requested direction
(open or closed).

The command sequence is supervised regarding the time between:

· Select and execute. · Select and until the reservation is granted. · Execute and the final end position of the apparatus. · Execute and valid close conditions from the synchrocheck.

At error the command sequence is cancelled.

In the case when there are three one-phase switches (SXCBR/SXSWI) connected to the switch controller function, the switch controller will "merge" the position of the three switches to the resulting three-phase position. In case of a pole discordance situation, that is, the positions of the one-phase switches are not equal for a time longer than a settable time; an error signal will be given.

The switch controller represents the content of the SCSWI logical node (according to IEC 61850) with mandatory functionality.

Switches SXCBR

M16602-3 v7

Switches are functions used to close and interrupt an ac power circuit under normal conditions, or to interrupt the circuit under fault, or emergency conditions. The intention with these functions is to represent the lowest level of a power-switching device with or without short circuit breaking capability, for example, circuit breakers, disconnectors, earthing switches etc.

The purpose of these functions is to provide the actual status of positions and to perform the control operations, that is, pass all the commands to the primary apparatus via output boards and to supervise the switching operation and position.

Switches have the following functionalities:

· Local/Remote switch intended for the switchyard · Block/deblock for open/close command respectively · Update block/deblock of position indication · Substitution of position indication · Supervision timer that the primary device starts moving after a command · Supervision of allowed time for intermediate position · Definition of pulse duration for open/close command respectively

The realizations of these functions are done with SXCBR representing a circuit breaker.

Circuit breaker (SXCBR) can be realized either as three one-phase switches or as one three-phase switch.

The content of this function is represented by the IEC 61850 definitions for the logical node Circuit breaker (SXCBR) with mandatory functionality.

Proxy for signals from switching device via GOOSE XLNPROXY GUID-2DA1E47C-5A9A-4C53-8D60-7B1729EF6B90 v2
The purpose of the proxy for signals from switching device via GOOSE (XLNPROXY) is to give the same internal representation of the position status and control response for a switch modeled in a breaker IED as if represented by a SXCBR or SXSWI function.
The command response functionality is dependent on the connection of the execution information, XIN, from the SCSWI function controlling the represented switch. Otherwise, the function only reflects the current status of the switch, such as blocking, selection, position, operating capability and operation counter.
Since different switches are represented differently on IEC 61850, the data that is mandatory to model in IEC 61850 is mandatory inputs and the other useful data for the command and status following is optional. To make it easy to choose which data to use for the XLNPROXY function, their usage is controlled by the connection of each data's signal input and valid input. These connections are usually from the GOOSEXLNRCV function (see Figure 124 and Figure 125). The data to GOOSEXLNRCV is used when using process bus and MU. Signals from MU are sent via GOOSE over the process bus.

used by other functions in the same way as the corresponding outputs of the SXCBR and SXSWI function.

When a command has been issued from the connected SCSWI function, the XLNPROXY function awaits the response on it from the represented switch through the inputs POSVAL and OPOK. While waiting for the switch to start moving, it checks if the switch is blocked for the operation. When the switch has started moving and no blocking condition has been detected, XLNPROXY issues a response to the SCSWI function that the command has started. If OPOK is used, this response is given when XLNPROXY receives the signal. These two LNs are only to be used when having XCBR/ XSWI in a separate IED (IO unit).

If no movement of the switch is registered within the limit tStartMove, the command is considered failed, and the cause of the failure is evaluated. In the evaluation, the function checks if the state of the represented switch is indicating that the command is blocked in any way during the command, and gives the appropriate cause to the SCSWI function. This cause is also shown on the output L_CAUSE as indicated in the following table:

Reservation function (QCRSV and RESIN)

M16609-3 v5

The purpose of the reservation function is primarily to transfer interlocking information between IEDs in a safe way and to prevent double operation in a bay, switchyard part, or complete substation.

For interlocking evaluation in a substation, the position information from switching devices, such as circuit breakers, disconnectors and earthing switches can be required from the same bay or from several other bays. When information is needed from other bays, it is exchanged over the station bus between the distributed IEDs. The problem that arises, even at a high speed of communication, is a

space of time during which the information about the position of the switching devices are uncertain. The interlocking function uses this information for evaluation, which means that also the interlocking conditions are uncertain.
To ensure that the interlocking information is correct at the time of operation, a unique reservation method is available in the IEDs. With this reservation method, the bay that wants the reservation sends a reservation request to other bays and then waits for a reservation granted signal from the other bays. Actual position indications from these bays are then transferred over the station bus for evaluation in the IED. After the evaluation the operation can be executed with high security.
This functionality is realized over the station bus by means of the function blocks QCRSV and RESIN. The application principle is shown in Figure 126.
The function block QCRSV handles the reservation. It sends out either the reservation request to other bays or the acknowledgement if the bay has received a request from another bay.
The other function block RESIN receives the reservation information from other bays. The number of instances is the same as the number of involved bays (up to 60 instances are available). The received signals are either the request for reservation from another bay or the acknowledgment from each bay respectively, which have received a request from this bay. Also the information of valid transmission over the station bus must be received.

Interaction between modules

M16626-3 v12

A typical bay with apparatus control function consists of a combination of logical nodes or functions that are described here:

· The Switch controller (SCSWI) initializes all operations for one apparatus. It is the command interface of the apparatus. It includes the position reporting as well as the control of the position
· The Circuit breaker (SXCBR) is the process interface to the circuit breaker for the apparatus control function.
· The Bay control (QCBAY) fulfils the bay-level functions for the apparatuses, such as operator place selection and blockings for the complete bay.
· The Protection trip logic (SMPPTRC) connects the "trip" outputs of one or more protection functions to a common "trip" to be transmitted to SXCBR.
· The Autorecloser (SMBRREC) consists of the facilities to automatically close a tripped breaker with respect to a number of configurable conditions.

· The logical node Interlocking (SCILO) provides the information to SCSWI whether it is permitted to operate due to the switchyard topology. The interlocking conditions are evaluated with separate logic and connected to SCILO .
· The Synchrocheck, energizing check, and synchronizing (SESRSYN) calculates and compares the voltage phasor difference from both sides of an open breaker with predefined switching conditions (synchrocheck). Also the case that one side is dead (energizing-check) is included.
· The Generic Automatic Process Control function, GAPC, handles generic commands from the operator to the system.
The overview of the interaction between these functions is shown in Figure 129 below.

Setting guidelines

M16669-3 v5

The setting parameters for the apparatus control function are set via the local HMI or PCM600.

Bay control (QCBAY)

M16670-3 v7

If the parameter AllPSTOValid is set to No priority, all originators from local and remote are accepted without any priority.

If the parameter RemoteIncStation is set to Yes, commands from IEC 61850-8-1 clients at both station and remote level are accepted, when the QCBAY function is in Remote. If set to No, the command LocSta controls which operator place is accepted when QCBAY is in Remote. If LocSta is true, only commands from station level are accepted, otherwise only commands from remote level are accepted.

The parameter RemoteIncStation has only effect on the IEC 61850-8-1 communication. Further, when using IEC 61850 edition 1 communication, the parameter should be set to Yes, since the command LocSta is not defined in IEC 61850-8-1 edition 1.

Switch controller (SCSWI)

M16673-3 v7

The parameter CtlModel specifies the type of control model according to IEC 61850. The default for control of circuit breakers, disconnectors and earthing switches the control model is set to SBO Enh (Select-Before-Operate with enhanced security).

When the operation shall be performed in one step, and no monitoring of the result of the command is desired, the model direct control with normal security is used.

At control with enhanced security there is an additional supervision of the status value by the control object, which means that each command sequence is terminated by a termination response.

The parameter PosDependent gives permission to operate depending on the position indication. At Always permitted, it is always permitted to operate independent of the value of the position. At Not perm 00/11 it is not permitted to operate if the position is in bad or intermediate state. At Not perm cPos, it is not permitted to operate if the command is to move to the current position. At Not perm cPos/00/11, it is not permitted to operate if the command is to move to the current position, or the position is in bad or intermediate state.

tSelect is the maximum allowed time between the select and the execute command signal, that is, the time the operator has to perform the command execution after the selection of the object to operate. When the time has expired, the selected output signal is set to false and a cause-code is given.

The time parameter tResResponse is the allowed time from reservation request to the feedback reservation granted from all bays involved in the reservation function. When the time has expired, the control function is reset, and a cause-code is given.
tSynchrocheck is the allowed time for the synchrocheck function to fulfill the close conditions. When the time has expired, the function tries to start the synchronizing function. If tSynchrocheck is set to 0, no synchrocheck is done, before starting the synchronizing function.
The timer tSynchronizing supervises that the signal synchronizing in progress is obtained in SCSWI after start of the synchronizing function. The start signal for the synchronizing is set if the synchrocheck conditions are not fulfilled. When the time has expired, the control function is reset, and a cause-code is given. If no synchronizing function is included, the time is set to 0, which means no start of the synchronizing function is done, and when tSynchrocheck has expired, the control function is reset and a cause-code is given.
tExecutionFB is the maximum time between the execute command signal and the command termination. When the time has expired, the control function is reset and a cause-code is given.
tPoleDiscord is the allowed time to have discrepancy between the poles at control of three onephase breakers. At discrepancy an output signal is activated to be used for trip or alarm, and during a command, the control function is reset, and a cause-code is given.
SuppressMidPos when On suppresses the mid-position during the time tIntermediate of the connected switches.
The parameter InterlockCheck decides if interlock check should be done at both select and operate, Sel & Op phase, or only at operate, Op phase.

Switch (SXCBR)

M16675-3 v8

tStartMove is the supervision time for the apparatus to start moving after a command execution is done from the SCSWI function. When the time has expired, the command supervision is reset, and a cause-code is given.

During the tIntermediate time, the position indication is allowed to be in an intermediate (00) state. When the time has expired, the command supervision is reset, and a cause-code is given. The indication of the mid-position at SCSWI is suppressed during this time period when the position changes from open to close or vice-versa if the parameter SuppressMidPos is set to On in the SCSWI function.

If the parameter AdaptivePulse is set to Adaptive the command output pulse resets when a new correct end position is reached. If the parameter is set to Not adaptive the command output pulse remains active until the timer tOpenPulsetClosePulse has elapsed.

tOpenPulse is the output pulse length for an open command. If AdaptivePulse is set to Adaptive, it is the maximum length of the output pulse for an open command. The default length is set to 200 ms for a circuit breaker (SXCBR).

tClosePulse is the output pulse length for a close command. If AdaptivePulse is set to Adaptive, it is the maximum length of the output pulse for an open command. The default length is set to 200 ms for a circuit breaker (SXCBR).

Application

SEMOD114927-4 v7

The logic rotating switch for function selection and LHMI presentation function (SLGAPC) (or the selector switch function block, as it is also known) is used to get a selector switch functionality similar with the one provided by a hardware multi-position selector switch. Hardware selector switches are used extensively by utilities, in order to have different functions operating on pre-set values. Hardware switches are however sources for maintenance issues, lower system reliability and extended purchase portfolio. The virtual selector switches eliminate all these problems.

SLGAPC function block has two operating inputs (UP and DOWN), one blocking input (BLOCK) and one operator position input (PSTO).

SLGAPC can be activated both from the local HMI and from external sources (switches) via the IED binary inputs. It also allows the operation from remote (like the station computer). SWPOSN is an integer value output, giving the actual output number. Since the number of positions of the switch can be established by settings (see below), one must be careful in coordinating the settings with the configuration (if one sets the number of positions to x in settings ­ for example, there will be only the first x outputs available from the block in the configuration). Also the frequency of the (UP or DOWN) pulses should be lower than the setting tPulse.

From the local HMI, the selector switch can be operated from Single-line diagram (SLD).

Setting guidelines

SEMOD115063-294 v7

The following settings are available for the Logic rotating switch for function selection and LHMI presentation (SLGAPC) function:

Operation: Sets the operation of the function On or Off.

NrPos: Sets the number of positions in the switch (max. 32).

OutType: Steady or Pulsed.

tPulse: In case of a pulsed output, it gives the length of the pulse (in seconds).

tDelay: The delay between the UP or DOWN activation signal positive front and the output activation.

StopAtExtremes: Sets the behavior of the switch at the end positions ­ if set to Disabled, when pressing UP while on first position, the switch will jump to the last position; when pressing DOWN at the last position, the switch will jump to the first position; when set to Enabled, no jump will be allowed.

More specifically, DPGAPC function reports a combined double point position indication output POSITION, by evaluating the value and the timestamp attributes of the inputs OPEN and CLOSE, together with the logical input signal VALID.

When the input signal VALID is active, the values of the OPEN and CLOSE inputs determine the twobit integer value of the output POSITION. The timestamp of the output POSITION will have the latest updated timestamp of the inputs OPEN and CLOSE.

When the input signal VALID is inactive, DPGAPC function forces the position to intermediated state.

When the value of the input signal VALID changes, the timestamp of the output POSITION will be updated as the time when DPGAPC function detects the change.

Refer to Table 27 for the description of the input-output relationship in terms of the value and the quality attributes.

The Single point generic control 8 signals (SPC8GAPC) function block is a collection of 8 single point commands that can be used for direct commands for example reset of LED's or putting IED in "ChangeLock" state from remote. In this way, simple commands can be sent directly to the IED outputs, without confirmation. Confirmation (status) of the result of the commands is supposed to be achieved by other means, such as binary inputs and SPGAPC function blocks.

PSTO is the universal operator place selector for all control functions. Even if PSTO can be configured to allow LOCAL or ALL operator positions, the only functional position usable with the SPC8GAPC function block is REMOTE.

The AUTOBITS function plays the same role as functions GOOSEBINRCV (for IEC 61850) and MULTICMDRCV (for LON). AUTOBITS function block have 32 individual outputs which each can be mapped as a Binary Output point in DNP3. The output is operated by a "Object 12" in DNP3. This object contains parameters for control-code, count, on-time and off-time. To operate an AUTOBITS output point, send a control-code of latch-On, latch-Off, pulse-On, pulse-Off, Trip or Close. The remaining parameters are regarded as appropriate. For example, pulse-On, on-time=100, off-time=300, count=5 would give 5 positive 100 ms pulses, 300 ms apart.

Application

M12445-3 v5

Single command, 16 inputs (SINGLECMD) is a common function and always included in the IED.

The IEDs may be provided with a function to receive commands either from a substation automation system or from the local HMI. That receiving function block has outputs that can be used, for example, to control high voltage apparatuses in switchyards. For local control functions, the local HMI can also be used. Together with the configuration logic circuits, the user can govern pulses or steady output signals for control purposes within the IED or via binary outputs.

Figure 132 shows an application example of how the user can connect SINGLECMD via configuration logic circuit to control a high-voltage apparatus. This type of command control is normally carried out by sending a pulse to the binary outputs of the IED. Figure 132 shows a close operation. An open breaker operation is performed in a similar way but without the synchro-check condition.

This function is only used for SPA and LON communication.

13.1.3

Application IP15020-1 v1
To achieve fast fault clearing for a fault on the part of the line not covered by the instantaneous zone M16866-3 v5 1, the stepped distance protection function can be supported with logic that uses a communication channel.
One communication channel in each direction, which can transmit an on/off signal is required. The performance and security of this function is directly related to the transmission channel speed and security against false or lost signals. Communication speed, or minimum time delay, is always of utmost importance because the purpose for using communication is to improve the tripping speed of the scheme.
To avoid false signals that could cause false tripping, it is necessary to pay attention to the security of the communication channel. At the same time it is important to pay attention to the communication channel dependability to ensure that proper signals are communicated during power system faults, the time during which the protection schemes must perform their tasks flawlessly.

13.1.3.1

The logic supports the following communications schemes:
· blocking schemes (blocking and delta blocking) · permissive schemes (overreaching and underreaching) · unblocking scheme and direct intertrip
A permissive scheme is inherently faster and has better security against false tripping than a blocking scheme. On the other hand, a permissive scheme depend on a received CR signal for a fast trip, so its dependability is lower than that of a blocking scheme.

Blocking schemes

M16866-24 v5

In a blocking scheme a reverse looking zone is used to send a block signal to the remote end to block an overreaching zone.

Since the scheme is sending the blocking signal during conditions where the protected line is healthy, it is common to use the line itself as communication media (PLC). The scheme can be used on all line lengths.

The blocking scheme is very dependable because it will operate for faults anywhere on the protected line if the communication channel is out of service. On the other hand, it is less secure than permissive schemes because it will trip for external faults within the reach of the tripping function if the communication channel is out of service.

Inadequate speed or dependability can cause spurious tripping for external faults. Inadequate security can cause delayed tripping for internal faults.

To secure that the send signal will arrive before the zone used in the communication scheme will trip, the trip is released first after the time delay tCoord has elapsed. The setting of tCoord must be set longer than the maximal transmission time of the channel. A security margin of at least 10 ms should be considered.

The timer tSendMin for prolonging the send signal is proposed to set to zero.

Section 13 Scheme communication

The delta based start is very fast and if the transmission channel is fast then there is no need for delaying the operation of remote distance element. If the fault is in forward direction, the sending is inhibited by a forward directed distance (or directional current or directional earth fault) element.
Since the scheme is sending the blocking signal during conditions where the protected line is healthy, it is common to use the line itself as communication media (PLC). The scheme can be used on all line lengths.
The blocking scheme is very dependable because it will operate for faults anywhere on the protected line if the communication channel is out of service. Conversely, it is less secure than permissive schemes because it will trip for external faults within the reach of the tripping function if the communication channel is out of service.
Inadequate speed or dependability can cause spurious tripping for external faults. Inadequate security can cause delayed tripping for internal faults.
Since the blocking signal is initiated by the delta based detection which is very fast the time delay tCoord can be set to zero seconds, except in cases where the transmission channel is slow.
The timer tSendMin for prolonging the send signal is proposed to set to zero.

13.1.3.3

Permissive schemes

M16866-33 v4

In permissive schemes, the permission to trip is sent from the local end to the remote end(s), when the protection at the local end has detected a fault on the protected object. The received signal(s) is combined with an overreaching zone and gives an instantaneous trip if the received signal is present during the time the chosen zone has detected a fault.

Either end may send a permissive (or command) signal to trip to the other end(s), and the teleprotection equipment needs to be able to receive while transmitting.

A general requirement on permissive schemes is that it shall be fast and secure.

If the sending signal(s) is issued by underreaching or overreaching zone, it is divided into a permissive underreach or permissive overreach scheme.

Permissive underreaching scheme Permissive underreaching scheme is not suitable to use on short line length due to difficulties forM16866-53 v4 distance protection measurement in general to distinguish between internal and external faults in those applications.

261

Section 13 Scheme communication

1MRK505393-UEN Rev. K

The underreaching zones at the local and remote end(s) must overlap in reach to prevent a gap between the protection zones where faults would not be detected. If the underreaching zone do not meet the required sensitivity due to for instance fault infeed from the remote end, a blocking or permissive overreaching scheme should be considered.
The received signal (CR) must be received when the overreaching zone is activated to achieve an instantaneous trip. In some cases, due to the fault current distribution, the overreaching zone can operate only after the fault has been cleared at the terminal nearest to the fault. There is a certain risk that in case of a trip from an independent tripping zone, the zone issuing the send signal (CS) resets before the overreaching zone has started at the remote terminal. To assure a sufficient duration of the received signal (CR), the send signal (CS) can be prolonged by a tSendMin reset timer. The recommended setting of tSendMin is 100 ms.
Since the received communication signal is combined with the output from an overreaching zone, there is less concern about a false signal causing an incorrect trip. Therefore set the timer tCoord to zero.
Failure of the communication channel does not affect the selectivity, but delays tripping at one end(s) for certain fault locations.

Permissive overreaching scheme In a permissive overreaching scheme there is an overreaching zone that issues the send signalM.16A86t6-41 v4 the remote end the received signal together with the start of an overreaching zone will give an instantaneous trip. The scheme can be used for all line lengths.
In permissive overreaching schemes, the communication channel plays an essential roll to obtain fast tripping at both ends. Failure of the communication channel may affect the selectivity and delay the tripping at one end at least, for faults anywhere along the protected circuit.
Teleprotection, operating in permissive overreaching scheme, must consider besides the general requirement of fast and secure operation also consider requirement on the dependability. Inadequate security can cause unwanted tripping for external faults. Inadequate speed or dependability can cause delayed tripping for internal faults or even unwanted operations.
This scheme may use virtually any communication media that is not adversely affected by electrical interference from fault generated noise or by electrical phenomena, such as lightning. Communication media that uses metallic paths are particularly subjected to this type of interference, therefore they must be properly shielded or otherwise designed to provide an adequate communication signal during power system faults.

The send signal (CS) might be issued in parallel both from an overreaching zone and an underreaching, independent tripping zone. The CS signal from the overreaching zone must not be prolonged while the CS signal from zone 1 can be prolonged.
To secure correct operations of current reversal logic in case of parallel lines the send signal CS shall not be prolonged. Set the tSendMin to zero in this case.

13.1.3.4

Unblocking scheme Metallic communication paths adversely affected by fault generated noise may not be suitable forM16866-67 v5 conventional permissive schemes that rely on a signal transmitted during a protected line fault. With power line carrier for example, the communication signal may be attenuated by the fault, especially when the fault is close to the line end, thereby disabling the communication channel.
To overcome the lower dependability in permissive schemes, an unblocking function can be used. Use this function at older, less reliable, power-line carrier (PLC) communication, where the signal has to be sent through the primary fault. The unblocking function uses a guard signal CRG, which must always be present, even when no CR signal is received. The absence of the CRG signal during the security time is used as a CR signal. This also enables a permissive scheme to operate when the line fault blocks the signal transmission. Set the tSecurity to 35 ms.

Intertrip scheme

M16866-71 v4

In some power system applications, there is a need to trip the remote end breaker immediately from local protections. This applies for instance when transformers or reactors are connected to the system without circuit-breakers or for remote tripping following operation of breaker failure protection.

In an intertrip scheme, the send signal is initiated by an underreaching zone or from an external protection (transformer or reactor protection). At the remote end, the received signals initiate a trip without any further protection criteria. To limit the risk for an unwanted trip due to the spurious sending of signals, the timer tCoord should be set to 10-30 ms dependant on the type of communication channel.

The general requirement for teleprotection equipment operating in intertripping applications is that it should be very secure and very dependable, since both inadequate security and dependability may cause unwanted operation. In some applications the equipment shall be able to receive while

To avoid this kind of disturbances, a fault current reversal logic (transient blocking logic) can be used.

The unwanted operations that might occur can be explained by looking into Figure 139 and Figure 140. Initially the protection A2 at A side will detect a fault in forward direction and send a communication signal to the protection B2 at remote end, which is measuring a fault in reverse direction.

M13895-16 v8

Permissive communication schemes can only operate when the protection in the remote IED can detect the fault. The detection requires a sufficient minimum fault current, normally >20% of Ir . The fault current can be too low due to an open breaker or low short-circuit power of the source. To overcome these conditions, weak-end infeed (WEI) echo logic is used. The fault current can also be initially too low due to the fault current distribution. Here, the fault current increases when the breaker opens at the strong terminal, and a sequential tripping is achieved. This requires a detection of the fault by an independent tripping zone 1. To avoid sequential tripping as described, and when zone 1 is not available, weak-end infeed tripping logic is used. The weak end infeed function only works together with permissive overreach communication schemes as the carrier send signal must cover the complete line length.

The WEI function sends back (echoes) the received signal under the condition that no fault has been detected on the weak-end by different fault detection elements (distance protection in forward and reverse direction).

Also, the WEI function can be additionally extended to trip the breaker in the weak side. The trip is achieved when one or more phase voltages are low during an echo function.

In case of single-pole tripping, the phase voltages are used as phase selectors together with the received signal CRLn.

When used with the blocking teleprotection scheme some limitations apply:

· Only the trip part of the function can be used together with the blocking scheme. It is not possible to use the echo function to send the echo signal to the remote line IED. The echo signal would block the operation of the distance protection at the remote line end and in this way prevents the correct operation of a complete protection scheme.
· A separate direct intertrip channel must be arranged from the remote end when a trip or accelerated trip is given there. The intertrip receive signal is connect to input CRL.
· The WEI function shall be set to WEI=Echo&Trip. The WEI function block will then give phase selection and trip the local breaker.

Avoid using WEI function at both line ends. It shall only be activated at the weak-end.

Set tDelayRev timer of the maximum reset time for the communication equipment that gives the carrier receive (CRL) signal plus 30 ms. A minimum setting of 40 ms is recommended, typical 60 ms.
A long tDelayRev setting increases security against unwanted tripping, but delays the fault clearing time in case of a fault from one line that evolves to the other one. The probability of this type of fault is small. Therefore set tDelayRev with a good margin.
Set the pick-up delay tPickUpRev to <80% of the minimum sum of breaker operate time + communication delay time, but with a minimum of 20 ms.

Weak-end infeed logic
Set WEI to Echo, to activate the weak-end infeed function with only echo function.

The tPickUpWEI is the on-time delay to activate the weak-end infeed function. Set tPickUpWEI to 10 ms, a short delay is recommended to avoid that spurious carrier received signals will activate WEI and cause unwanted carrier send (ECHO) signals.

When single phase tripping is required, a detailed study of the voltages during phase-tophase and phase-to-earth faults should be done, at different fault locations.

Application

M13821-3 v4

The local acceleration logic (ZCLCPSCH) is used in applications where a conventional teleprotection scheme is not available (no communication channel), but where the user still requires fast clearance for faults on the whole line.

The logic can be controlled either by the autorecloser (zone extension) or by the loss-of-load current (loss-of-load acceleration).

The loss-of-load acceleration gives selected overreach zone permission to operate instantaneously after checking the loss-of-load condition. It can not operate for three-phase faults.

Setting guidelines

The parameters for the local acceleration logic functions are set via the local HMI or PCM600.

Set ZoneExtension to On when the first trip from selected overreaching zone shall be instantaneous and the definitive trip after autoreclosure a normal time-delayed trip.

Set LossOfLoad to On when the acceleration shall be controlled by loss-of-load in healthy phase(s).

LoadCurr must be set below the current that will flow on the healthy phase when one or two of the other phases are faulty and the breaker has opened at remote end. Calculate the setting according to equation 134.

LoadCurr = 0.5 × ILoad min IBase
EQUATION1320 V1 EN-US

(Equation 134)

where:
ILoadmin is the minimum load current on the line during normal operation conditions.
The timer tLoadOn is used to increase the security of the loss-of-load function for example to avoid unwanted release due to transient inrush current when energizing the line power transformer. The loss-of-load function will be released after the timer tLoadOn has elapsed at the same time as the load current in all three phases are above the setting LoadCurr. In normal acceleration applications there is no need for delaying the release, so set the tLoadOn to zero.
The drop-out timer tLoadOff is used to determine the window for the current release conditions for Loss-of-load. The timer is by default set to 300ms, which is judged to be enough to secure the current release.
The setting of the minimum current detector, MinCurr, should be set higher than the unsymmetrical current that might flow on the non faulty line, when the breaker at remote end has opened. At the same time it should be set below the minimum load current transfer during normal operations that the line can be subjected to. By default, MinCurr is set to 5% of IBase.
The pick-up timer tLowCurr determine the window needed for pick-up of the minimum current value used to release the function. The timer is by default set to 200 ms, which is judged to be enough to avoid unwanted release of the function (avoid unwanted trip).

Application

M13919-3 v6

To achieve fast fault clearance of earth faults on the part of the line not covered by the instantaneous step of the residual overcurrent protection, the directional residual overcurrent protection can be supported with a logic that uses communication channels.

One communication channel is used in each direction, which can transmit an on/off signal if required. The performance and security of this function is directly related to the transmission channel speed and security against false or lost signals.

In the directional scheme, information of the fault current direction must be transmitted to the other line end.

With directional comparison in permissive schemes, a short operate time of the protection including a channel transmission time, can be achieved. This short operate time enables rapid autoreclosing function after the fault clearance.

The communication logic module enables blocking as well as permissive under/overreaching schemes. The logic can also be supported by additional logic for weak-end infeed and current reversal, included in the Current reversal and weak-end infeed logic for residual overcurrent protection (ECRWPSCH) function.

Metallic communication paths adversely affected by fault generated noise may not be suitable for conventional permissive schemes that rely on signal transmitted during a protected line fault. With power line carrier, for example, the communication signal may be attenuated by the fault, especially when the fault is close to the line end, thereby disabling the communication channel.

To overcome the lower dependability in permissive schemes, an unblocking function can be used. Use this function at older, less reliable, power line carrier (PLC) communication, where the signal has to be sent through the primary fault. The unblocking function uses a guard signal CRG, which must always be present, even when no CR signal is received. The absence of the CRG signal during the security time is used as a CR signal. This also enables a permissive scheme to operate when the line fault blocks the signal transmission. Set the tSecurity to 35 ms.

Assume that fault is near the B1 breaker. B1 Relay sees the fault in Zone1 and A1 relay identifies the fault in Zone2.

Note that the fault current is reversed in line L2 after the breaker B1 opening.

It can cause an unselective trip on line L2 if the current reversal logic does not block the permissive overreaching scheme in the IED at B2.

Figure 142: Current distribution for a fault close to B side when breaker at B1 is opened
When the breaker on the parallel line operates, the fault current on the healthy line is reversed. The IED at B2 recognizes the fault in forward direction from reverse direction before breaker operates. As IED at B2 already received permissive signal from A2 and IED at B2 is now detecting the fault as forward fault, it will immediately trip breaker at B2. To ensure that tripping at B2 should not occur, the permissive overreaching function at B2 needs to be blocked by IRVL till the received permissive signal from A2 is reset.

The IED at A2, where the forward direction element was initially activated, must reset before the send signal is initiated from B2. The delayed reset of output signal IRVL also ensures the send signal from IED B2 is held back till the forward direction element is reset in IED A2.

Weak-end infeed logic

M15285-6 v5

Figure 143 shows a typical system condition that can result in a missing operation. Note that there is no fault current from node B. This causes that the IED at B cannot detect the fault and trip the breaker in B. To cope with this situation, a selectable weak-end infeed logic is provided for the permissive overreaching scheme.

Section 13 Scheme communication

The reset time of the directional residual overcurrent protection (EF4PTOC) is typically 25 ms. If other type of residual overcurrent protection is used in the remote line end, its reset time should be used.
The signal propagation time is in the range 3 ­ 10 ms/km for most types of communication media. In communication networks small additional time delays are added in multiplexers and repeaters. Theses delays are less than 1 ms per process. It is often stated that the total propagation time is less than 5 ms.
When a signal picks-up or drops out there is a decision time to be added. This decision time is highly dependent on the interface between communication and protection used. In many cases an external interface (teleprotection equipment) is used. This equipment makes a decision and gives a binary signal to the protection device. In case of analog teleprotection equipment typical decision time is in the range 10 ­ 30 ms. For digital teleprotection equipment this time is in the range 2 ­ 10 ms.
If the teleprotection equipment is integrated in the protection IED the decision time can be slightly reduced.
The principle time sequence of signaling at current reversal is shown.

Weak-end infeed

The weak-end infeed can be set by setting the parameter WEI to Off, Echo or Echo & Trip. Operating zero sequence voltage when parameter WEI is set to Echo & Trip is set with 3U0>.

The zero sequence voltage for a fault at the remote line end and appropriate fault resistance is calculated.

To avoid unwanted trip from the weak-end infeed logic (if spurious signals should occur), set the operate value of the broken delta voltage level detector (3U0) higher than the maximum false network frequency residual voltage that can occur during normal service conditions. The recommended minimum setting is two times the false zero-sequence voltage during normal service conditions.

All trip signals from the different protection functions shall be routed through the trip logic. All start signals and directional information can be routed through the trip logic as well. In its simplest form, the trip logic will only link the TRIP signal to a binary output and make sure that the pulse time is long enough.

Tripping logic SMPPTRC offers three different operating modes:

· Three-phase tripping for all fault types (3ph operating mode) · Single-phase tripping for single-phase faults and three-phase tripping for multi-phase and
evolving faults (1ph/3ph operating mode). · Single-phase tripping for single-phase faults, two-phase tripping for two-phase faults and three-
phase tripping for three-phase faults (1ph/2ph/3ph operating mode).

If the OHL is connected to the substation via more than one breaker, one SMPPTRC function block should be used for each breaker. For example when single-phase tripping and autoreclosing is used on the line, both breakers are normally set up for 1/3-phase tripping and 1/3-phase autoreclosing. Alternatively, the breaker chosen as master can have single-phase tripping, while the slave breaker could have three-phase tripping and autoreclosing. In the case of a permanent fault, only one of the breakers has to be operated when the fault is energized a second time. In the event of a transient fault the slave breaker performs a three-phase reclosing onto the non-faulted line.

The same philosophy can be used for two-phase tripping and autoreclosing.

To prevent closing of a circuit breaker after a trip, the function offers a lockout function.

Three-phase tripping

M14828-7 v12

Connect the inputs from the protection functions to the input TRINALL. The TMGAPC function block is used to combine up to 32 inputs into one output. Connect the output TRIP to the binary outputs on the IO board.

This signal can also be used for other purposes internally in the IED. An example could be the starting of breaker failure protection. The three outputs TRL1, TRL2, and TRL3 will always be activated at every trip and can be utilized on individual trip outputs if single-phase operating devices are available on the circuit breaker even when a three-phase tripping scheme is selected.

Set the function block to Program = 3 phase and set the required length of the trip pulse to for example, tTripMin = 150ms.

The typical connection is shown below in Figure 145.

Single- and/or three-phase tripping

M14828-11 v9

The single-/three-phase tripping operation mode will give single-phase tripping for single-phase faults and three-phase tripping for multi-phase fault. This operating mode is always used together with a single-phase autoreclosing scheme.

The single-phase tripping operation mode can include different options and the use of the different inputs in the function block. Inputs TRINL1, TRINL2, and TRINL3 shall be used for trip signals from functions with built-in phase selection logic such as distance or line differential protection functions.

The inputs 1PTRZ and 1PTREF are used for single-phase tripping from functions which do not have built-in phase selection logic:

· 1PTRZ can be connected to the carrier aided trip signal from the distance protection scheme (it means that another distance protection function has seen or detected the fault)
· 1PTREF can be connected to an earth fault function such as EF4PTOC or a carrier aided trip signal from the earth fault protection scheme

These two inputs are combined with the external phase selection logic. Phase selection signals from the external phase selector must be connected to the inputs PSL1, PSL2, and PSL3 to achieve the

tripping on the respective single-phase trip outputs TRL1, TRL2, and TRL3. The output TRIP is a general trip and is always activated independent of which phase is involved. Depending on which phases are involved the outputs TR1P and TR3P will be activated as well.
When single-phase tripping schemes are used, a single-phase autoreclosing attempt is expected to follow. For cases where the autoreclosing is not in service or will not follow for some reason, the input prepare three-phase trip P3PTR must be activated. This input is normally connected to the output PREP3P on the autorecloser function SMBRREC but can also be connected to other signals, for example, an external logic signal. If two circuit breakers are involved, one SMPPTRC block instance and one SMBRREC instance are used for each circuit breaker. This will ensure correct operation and behavior of each circuit breaker.
The output TR3P must be connected to the input TR3P on the SMBRREC function in order to switch SMBRREC to perform a three-phase reclosing. If this signal is not activated, SMBRREC will use single-phase dead time.
If a second line protection is utilizing the same SMBRREC, the three-phase trip signal must be generated as OR conditions from both line protections.
Other back-up functions are connected to the input TRIN as described above for three-phase tripping. A typical connection for a single-phase tripping scheme is shown in figure 146.

Single-, two- or three-phase tripping

M14828-15 v5

The single-/two-/three-phase tripping mode provides single-phase tripping for single-phase faults, two-phase tripping for two-phase faults and three-phase tripping for three-phase faults. The operating mode is always used together with an autoreclosing scheme with setting ARMode = 1/2/3 ph or ARMode = 1/2 ph.

The functionality is very similar to the single-phase scheme described above. However, in addition to the connections for single phase SMBRREC must also be informed that the trip is two phases by connecting the output TR2P to the input TR2P in the SMBRREC function.

Lock-out

M14828-18 v7

The SMPPTRC function block is provided with possibilities to initiate lockout. The lockout can be set to only activate the circuit breaker lockout output CLLKOUT or to both initiate the circuit breaker lockout output and to maintain the trip signal outputs TRIP, TRL1, TRL2, TRL3, and TR3P (latched).

If external conditions are required to initiate a circuit breaker lockout, it can be achieved by activating input SETLKOUT. The setting AutoLock = Off means that the internal three-phase trip will not activate lockout so only initiation of the input SETLKOUT will result in lockout. This is normally the case for overhead line protection where most faults are transient. Unsuccessful autoreclosing and back-up zone tripping can in such cases be connected to initiate lockout by activating the input SETLKOUT.

If CLLKOUT is set by an external trip signal from another protection function, that is by activating SETLKOUT input, or internally by a three-phase trip, that is with the setting AutoLock = On and the setting TripLockout = On, then also all trip outputs are set latched.

The lockout can manually be reset after checking the primary fault by activating the reset lockout input RSTLKOUT.

The BLKLKOUT input blocks the circuit breaker lockout output CLLKOUT.

Figure 147: Example of the connection of directional start logic

The Start Matrix (SMAGAPC) merges start and directional output signals from different application functions and creates a common directional output signal (STDIR) to be connected to the trip function (SMPPTRC). Protection functions connect their directional data via the STARTCOMB function to SMAGAPC and then to the SMPPTRC, or directly to SMAGAPC and then to the SMPPTRC.
The trip function (SMPPTRC) splits up the directional data as general output data for START, STL1, STL2, STL3, STN, FW and REV.
All start and directional outputs are mapped to the logical node data model of the trip function and provided via the IEC 61850 attributes dirGeneral, dirPhsA, dirPhsB, dirPhsC, and dirNeut.

Blocking of the function block

M14828-21 v5

Total block of the trip function is done by activating the input BLOCK and can be used to disable the outputs of the trip logic in the event of internal failures. Block of lockout output is achieved by activating the input BLKLKOUT.

Setting guidelines
The parameters for the trip function SMPPTRC are set via the local HMI or PCM600.

M12274-3 v11

Operation: Sets the mode of operation. Off switches the tripping off. The normal selection is On.

Program: Sets the required tripping scheme. Normally 3 phase or 1ph/3ph is used.

TripLockout: Sets the scheme for lockout. Off only activates the circuit breaker close lockout output. On activates the circuit breaker close lockout output and latches the TRIP related outputs. The normal selection is Off.

AutoLock: Sets the scheme for lockout. Off only activates lockout through the output CLLKOUT. On additionally allows lockout activation via the trip inputs. The normal selection is Off.

tTripMin: Sets the required minimum duration of the trip pulse. It should be set to ensure that the circuit breaker is opened correctly. The normal setting is 0.150s.

tWaitForPHS: Sets a duration during which external phase selection must operate in order to get a single phase trip, after any of the inputs 1PTRZ or 1PTREF has been activated. If no phase selection has been achieved, a three-phase trip will be issued after this time has elapsed.

tEvolvingFault: Secures two- or three-pole tripping depending on Program selection during evolving faults.

Setting example

GUID-35DDD77E-9CEB-4975-BFD7-6017A34E57B8 v1

Consider a line-to-earth fault in phase L2 of a 400 kV, 2000 MVA, 50 Hz system.

Example designation, serial execution number and cycle time for logic function

The execution of different function blocks within the same cycle is determined by the order of their serial execution numbers. Always remember this when connecting two or more logical function blocks in series.

Always be careful when connecting function blocks with a fast cycle time to function blocks with a slow cycle time. Remember to design the logic circuits carefully and always check the execution sequence for different functions. In other cases, additional time delays must be introduced into the logic schemes to prevent errors, for example, race between functions.

Fixed signal function block FXDSIGN IP15080-1 v2

Application

M15322-3 v16

The Fixed signals function (FXDSIGN) has nine pre-set (fixed) output signals that can be used in the configuration of an IED, either for forcing the unused inputs in other function blocks to a certain level/ value, or for creating certain logic. Boolean, integer, floating point, string types of signals are available.

One FXDSIGN function block is included in all IEDs.
Example for use of GRP_OFF signal in FXDSIGN
The Restricted earth fault function (REFPDIF) can be used both for auto-transformers and normal transformers.
When used for auto-transformers, information from both windings parts, together with the neutral point current, needs to be available to the function. This means that three inputs are needed.

For normal transformers only one winding and the neutral point is available. This means that only two inputs are used. Since all group connections are mandatory to be connected, the third input needs to be connected to something, which is the GRP_OFF signal in FXDSIGN function block.

Boolean 16 to integer conversion function B16I is used to transform a set of 16 binary (logical) signals into an integer. It can be used ­ for example, to connect logical output signals from a function (like distance protection) to integer inputs from another function (like line differential protection). B16I does not have a logical node mapping.

The Boolean 16 to integer conversion function (B16I) will transfer a combination of up to 16 binary inputs INx where 1x16 to an integer. Each INx represents a value according to the table below
from 0 to 32768. This follows the general formula: INx = 2x-1 where 1x16. The sum of all the values on the activated INx will be available on the output OUT as a sum of the values of all the inputs INx that are activated. OUT is an integer. When all INx where 1x16 are activated that is = Boolean 1 it corresponds to that integer 65535 is available on the output OUT. B16I function is designed for receiving up to 16 booleans input locally. If the BLOCK input is activated, it will freeze the output at the last value.

Values of each of the different OUTx from function block B16I for 1x16.

The sum of the value on each INx corresponds to the integer presented on the output OUT on the function block B16I.

Integer to boolean conversion with logical node representation, 16 bit function (ITBGAPC) is used to transform an integer into a set of 16 boolean signals. ITBGAPC function can receive an integer from a station computer ­ for example, over IEC 61850­8­1. This function is very useful when the user wants to generate logical commands (for selector switches or voltage controllers) by inputting an integer number. ITBGAPC function has a logical node mapping in IEC 61850.

The Integer to boolean conversion with logical node representation, 16 bit function (ITBGAPC) will transfer an integer with a value between 0 to 65535 communicated via IEC 61850 and connected to the ITBGAPC function block to a combination of activated outputs OUTx where 1x16.

The values of the different OUTx are according to the Table 31.

The function will set the outputs for the following conditions,

INEQUAL will set when the INPUT is between the ranges of 95 to 105 kA.

INHIGH will set when the INPUT crosses above 105 kA.

INLOW will set when the INPUT crosses below 95 kA.

If the comparison should be done between two current magnitudes then those current signals need to be connected to function inputs, INPUT and REF. Then the settings should be adjusted as below,

EnaAbs = Absolute

Application

SEMOD54488-4 v13

Measurement functions are used for power system measurement, supervision and reporting to the local HMI, monitoring tool within PCM600 or to station level for example, via IEC 61850. The possibility to continuously monitor measured values of active power, reactive power, currents, voltages, frequency, power factor etc. is vital for efficient production, transmission and distribution of electrical energy. It provides to the system operator fast and easy overview of the present status of the power system. Additionally, it can be used during testing and commissioning of protection and control IEDs in order to verify proper operation and connection of instrument transformers (CTs and VTs). During normal service by periodic comparison of the measured value from the IED with other independent meters the proper operation of the IED analog measurement chain can be verified. Finally, it can be used to verify proper direction orientation for distance or directional overcurrent protection function.

The available measured values from an IED are depending on the actual hardware (TRM) and the logic configuration made in PCM600.

All measured values can be supervised with four settable limits that is, low-low limit, low limit, high limit and high-high limit. A zero clamping reduction is also supported, that is, the measured value below a settable limit is forced to zero which reduces the impact of noise in the inputs.
Dead-band supervision can be used to report measured signal value to station level when change in measured value is above set threshold limit or time integral of all changes since the last time value updating exceeds the threshold limit. Measure value can also be based on periodic reporting.
All measurement functions use fundamental frequency phasors (that is, DFT filtering) for internal calculations and for reporting of measured values. However, from the following three measurement functions CMMXU, VMMXU and VNMMXU it is also possible to report the total measured quantity (that is, true RMS filtering). By selecting the RMS mode, the reported value will be in addition to the fundamental magnitude also include harmonics.
Main menu /Measurement /Monitoring /Service values /CVMMXN
The measurement function, CVMMXN, provides the following power system quantities:
· P, Q and S: three phase active, reactive and apparent power · PF: power factor · U: phase-to-phase voltage amplitude · I: phase current amplitude · F: power system frequency

The measuring functions CMMXU, VMMXU and VNMMXU provide physical quantities:
· I: phase currents (amplitude and angle) (CMMXU) · U: voltages (phase-to-earth and phase-to-phase voltage, amplitude and angle) (VMMXU,
VNMMXU)
Fundamental frequency filtered values (DFT) or true RMS values can be selected as a measurement type in CMMXU, VMMXU and VNMMXU functions.
The CVMMXN function calculates three-phase power quantities by using fundamental frequency phasors (DFT values) of the measured current and voltage signals. The measured power quantities are available either, as instantaneously calculated quantities or, averaged values over a period of time (low pass filtered) depending on the selected settings.
It is possible to calibrate the measuring function above to get better then class 0.5 presentation. This is accomplished by angle and amplitude compensation at 5, 30 and 100% of rated current and at 100% of rated voltage.

The power system quantities provided, depends on the actual hardware, (TRM) and the logic configuration made in PCM600.

The measuring functions CMSQI and VMSQI provide sequence component quantities:
· I: sequence currents (positive, zero, negative sequence, amplitude and angle) · U: sequence voltages (positive, zero and negative sequence, amplitude and angle).

Zero clamping

GUID-8DABC3F5-6615-493C-B839-A5C557A2FAE8 v5

Measuring functions CVMMXN, CMMXU, VMMXU and VNMMXU have no interconnections regarding any settings or parameters.

Zero clampings are also handled entirely by ZeroDb separately for each function's every output signal. For example, zero clamping of U12 is handled by UL12ZeroDb in VMMXU, zero clamping of I1 is handled by IL1ZeroDb in CMMXU, and so on.

Example of CVMMXN operation

Relevant settings and their values on the local HMI under Main menu/Settings /IED settings/ Monitoring /Servicevalues(P_Q)/CVMMXN(P_Q) :
· When system voltage falls below UGenZeroDB, values for S, P, Q, PF, ILAG, ILEAD, U and F are forced to zero.
· When system current falls below IGenZeroDB, values for S, P, Q, PF, ILAG, ILEAD, U and F are forced to zero.
· When the value of a single signal falls below its set deadband, the value is forced to zero. For example, if the apparent three-phase power falls below SZeroDb, the value for S is forced to zero.

The circuit breaker maintenance is usually based on regular time intervals or the number of operations performed. This has some disadvantages because there could be a number of abnormal operations or few operations with high-level currents within the predetermined maintenance interval. Hence, condition-based maintenance scheduling is an optimum solution in assessing the condition of circuit breakers.

Circuit breaker contact operation time

Auxiliary contacts provide information about the mechanical operation, opening time and closing time of a breaker. Detecting an excessive operation time is essential to indicate the need for maintenance of the circuit breaker mechanism. The excessive operation time can be due to problems in the driving mechanism or failures of the contacts.

Circuit breaker status

Monitoring the breaker status ensures proper functioning of the features within the protection relay such as breaker control, breaker failure and autoreclosing. The breaker status is monitored using breaker auxiliary contacts. The breaker status is indicated by the binary outputs. These signals indicate whether the circuit breaker is in an open, closed or error state.

Remaining life of circuit breaker

Every time the breaker operates, the circuit breaker life reduces due to wear. The wear in a breaker depends on the interrupted current. For breaker maintenance or replacement at the right time, the remaining life of the breaker must be estimated. The remaining life of a breaker can be estimated using the maintenance curve provided by the circuit breaker manufacturer.

Circuit breaker manufacturers provide the number of make-break operations possible at various interrupted currents. An example is shown in figure 160.

An example for estimating the remaining life of a circuit breaker

Calculation for estimating the remaining life

The graph shows that there are 10000 possible operations at the rated operating current and 900 operations at 10 kA and 50 operations at rated fault current. Therefore, if the interrupted current is 10 kA, one operation is equivalent to 10000/900 = 11 operations at the rated current. It is assumed that prior to tripping, the remaining life of a breaker is 10000 operations. Remaining life calculation for three different interrupted current conditions is explained below.

· Breaker interrupts at and below the rated operating current, that is, 2 kA, the remaining life of the CB is decreased by 1 operation and therefore, 9999 operations remaining at the rated operating current.
· Breaker interrupts between rated operating current and rated fault current, that is, 10 kA, one operation at 10kA is equivalent to 10000/900 = 11 operations at the rated current. The remaining life of the CB would be (10000 ­ 10) = 9989 at the rated operating current after one operation at 10 kA.
· Breaker interrupts at and above rated fault current, that is, 50 kA, one operation at 50 kA is equivalent to 10000/50 = 200 operations at the rated operating current. The remaining life of the CB would become (10000 ­ 200) = 9800 operations at the rated operating current after one operation at 50 kA.
Accumulated contact abrasion
Monitoring the contact erosion and interrupter wear has a direct influence on the required maintenance frequency. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately estimate the erosion of the contacts and condition of interrupters using cumulative summation of Iy. The factor "y" depends on the type of

circuit breaker. The energy values were accumulated using the current value and exponent factor for CB contact opening duration. When the next CB opening operation is started, the energy is accumulated from the previous value.The accumulated contact abrasion value can be reset to initial accumulation contact abrasion value by using the Reset accumulating contact abrasion input, RSACCMABR.
Circuit breaker operation cycles
Routine breaker maintenance like lubricating breaker mechanism is based on the number of operations. A suitable threshold setting helps in preventive maintenance. This can also be used to indicate the requirement for oil sampling for dielectric testing in case of an oil circuit breaker.
Circuit breaker operation monitoring
By monitoring the activity of the number of operations, it is possible to calculate the number of days the breaker has been inactive. Long periods of inactivity degrade the reliability for the protection system.
Circuit breaker spring charge monitoring
For normal circuit breaker operation, the circuit breaker spring should be charged within a specified time. Detecting a long spring charging time indicates the time for circuit breaker maintenance. The last value of the spring charging time can be given as a service value.
Circuit breaker gas pressure indication
For proper arc extinction by the compressed gas in the circuit breaker, the pressure of the gas must be adequate. Binary input available from the pressure sensor is based on the pressure levels inside the arc chamber. When the pressure becomes too low compared to the required value, the circuit breaker operation is blocked.
Coil open indication
Coil open indicates that opening coil is being operated through manual open command and not from the command from protection function.

Setting guidelines

GUID-AB93AD9B-E6F8-4F1A-B353-AA1008C15679 v4

The breaker monitoring function is used to monitor different parameters of the circuit breaker. The breaker requires maintenance when the number of operations has reached a predefined value. For proper functioning of the circuit breaker, it is also essential to monitor the circuit breaker operation, spring charge indication or breaker wear, travel time, coil open indication, number of operation cycles and accumulated energy during arc extinction.

Since there is no current measurement in SAM600-IO, evaluation of the following parameters are not possible in the circuit breaker condition monitoring function (SSCBR):
· Circuit breaker status · Remaining life of the circuit breaker · Contact erosion estimation · Circuit breaker contact travel time
Ensure that OPNPOS, CLSPOS, INVDPOS, RMNLIFEALM, ACCMABRWRN,ACCMABRALM, OPTMOPNALM and OPTMCLSALM signals are not used in SAM600­IO.

When using a Substation Automation system with LON or SPA communication, time-tagged events can be sent at change or cyclically from the IED to the station level. These events are created from any available signal in the IED that is connected to the Event function (EVENT). The EVENT function block is used for LON and SPA communication.

Analog, integer and double indication values are also transferred through the EVENT function.

To get fast, complete and reliable information about disturbances in the primary and/or in the secondary system it is very important to gather information on fault currents, voltages and events. It is also important having a continuous event-logging to be able to monitor in an overview perspective. These tasks are accomplished by the disturbance report function DRPRDRE and facilitate a better understanding of the power system behavior and related primary and secondary equipment during and after a disturbance. An analysis of the recorded data provides valuable information that can be used to explain a disturbance, basis for change of IED setting plan, improve existing equipment, and so on. This information can also be used in a longer perspective when planning for and designing new installations, that is, a disturbance recording could be a part of Functional Analysis (FA).

Disturbance report DRPRDRE, always included in the IED, acquires sampled data of all selected analog and binary signals connected to the function blocks that is,

· Maximum 30 external analog signals, · 10 internal derived analog signals, and · 352 binary signals

Disturbance report function is a common name for several functions; Indications (IND), Event recorder (ER), Event list (EL), Trip value recorder (TVR), Disturbance recorder (DR) and Fault locator (FL).

Disturbance report function is characterized by great flexibility as far as configuration, starting conditions, recording times, and storage capacity are concerned. Thus, disturbance report is not dependent on the operation of protective functions, and it can record disturbances that were not discovered by protective functions for one reason or another. Disturbance report can be used as an advanced stand-alone disturbance recorder.

Every disturbance report recording is saved in the IED. The same applies to all events, which are continuously saved in a ring-buffer. Local HMI can be used to get information about the recordings, and the disturbance report files may be uploaded in the PCM600 using the Disturbance handling tool, for report reading or further analysis (using WaveWin, that can be found on the PCM600 installation CD). The user can also upload disturbance report files using FTP or MMS (over 61850­8­1) clients.

If the IED is connected to a station bus (IEC 61850-8-1), the disturbance recorder (record made and fault number) and the fault locator information are available. The same information is obtainable if IEC 60870-5-103 is used.

Setting guidelines IP14874-1 v1
The setting parameters for the Disturbance report function DRPRDRE are set via the local HMI or M12179-64 v9 PCM600.
It is possible to handle up to 40 analog and 352 binary signals, either internal signals or signals coming from external inputs. The binary signals are identical in all functions that is, Disturbance

recorder (DR), Event recorder (ER), Indication (IND), Trip value recorder (TVR) and Event list (EL) function.
User-defined names of binary and analog input signals are set using PCM600. The analog and binary signals appear with their user-defined names. The name is used in all related functions (Disturbance recorder (DR), Event recorder (ER), Indication (IND), Trip value recorder (TVR) and Event list (EL)).
Figure 161 shows the relations between Disturbance report, included functions and function blocks. Event list (EL), Event recorder (ER) and Indication (IND) uses information from the binary input function blocks (BxRBDR). Trip value recorder (TVR) uses analog information from the analog input function blocks (AxRADR), which is used by Fault locator (FL) after estimation by Trip Value Recorder (TVR). Disturbance report function acquires information from both AxRADR and BxRBDR.

Operation The operation of Disturbance report function DRPRDRE has to be set On or Off. If Off is selecteMd121,79-82 v9 note that no disturbance report is registered, and none sub-function will operate (the only general parameter that influences Event list (EL)).
Operation = Off:
· Disturbance reports are not stored. · LED information (yellow - start, red - trip) is not stored or changed.
Operation = On:
· Disturbance reports are stored, disturbance data can be read from the local HMI and from a PC for example using PCM600.
· LED information (yellow - start, red - trip) is stored.
Every recording will get a number (0 to 999) which is used as identifier (local HMI, disturbance handling tool and IEC 61850). An alternative recording identification is date, time and sequence number. The sequence number is automatically increased by one for each new recording and is reset to zero at midnight. The maximum number of recordings stored in the IED is 200. The oldest recording will be overwritten when a new recording arrives (FIFO).
To be able to delete disturbance records, Operation parameter has to be On.

The IED flash disk should not be used to store any user files. This causes lack of space for new disturbance recordings.

15.6.3.1

Recording times

M12179-88 v6

The different recording times for Disturbance report are set (the pre-fault time, post-fault time, and limit time). These recording times affect all sub-functions more or less but not the Event list (EL) function.

Prefault recording time (PreFaultRecT) is the recording time before the starting point of the disturbance. The setting should be at least 0.1 s to ensure enough samples for the estimation of prefault values in the Trip value recorder (TVR) function.

Postfault recording time (PostFaultRecT) is the maximum recording time after the disappearance of the trig-signal (does not influence the Trip value recorder (TVR) function).

Recording time limit (TimeLimit) is the maximum recording time after trig. The parameter limits the recording time if some trigging condition (fault-time) is very long or permanently set (does not influence the Trip value recorder (TVR) function).

Operation in test mode If the IED is in test mode and OpModeTest = Off. Disturbance report function does not save anyM12179-492 v4 recordings and no LED information is displayed.

If the IED is in test mode and OpModeTest = On. Disturbance report function works in normal mode and the status is indicated in the saved recording.
Post Retrigger Disturbance report function does not automatically respond to any new trig condition during a M12155-173 v7 recording, after all signals set as trigger signals have been reset. However, under certain circumstances the fault condition may reoccur during the post-fault recording, for instance by automatic reclosing to a still faulty power line.
In order to capture the new disturbance it is possible to allow retriggering (PostRetrig = On) during the post-fault time. In this case a new, complete recording will start and, during a period, run in parallel with the initial recording.
When the retrig parameter is disabled (PostRetrig = Off), a new recording will not start until the postfault (PostFaultrecT or TimeLimit) period is terminated. If a new trig occurs during the post-fault period and lasts longer than the proceeding recording a new complete recording will be started.
Disturbance report function can handle a maximum of 3 simultaneous disturbance recordings.

Binary input signals
Up to 352 binary signals can be selected among internal logical and binary input signals. The configuration tool is used to configure the signals.

M12179-90 v9

For each of the 352 signals, it is also possible to select if the signal is to be used as a trigger for the start of the Disturbance report and if the trigger should be activated on positive (1) or negative (0) slope.

OperationN: Disturbance report may trig for binary input N (On) or not (Off).

TrigLevelN: Trig on positive (Trig on 1) or negative (Trig on 0) slope for binary input N.

Analog input signals

M12179-92 v6

Up to 40 analog signals can be selected among internal analog and analog input signals. PCM600 is used to configure the signals.

For retrieving remote data from LDCM module, the Disturbance report function should be connected to a 8 ms SMAI function block if this is the only intended use for the remote data.
The analog trigger of Disturbance report is not affected if analog input M is to be included in the disturbance recording or not (OperationM = On/Off).
If OperationM = Off, no waveform (samples) will be recorded and reported in graph. However, Trip value, pre-fault and fault value will be recorded and reported. The input channel can still be used to trig the disturbance recorder.
If OperationM = On, waveform (samples) will also be recorded and reported in graph.
NomValueM: Nominal value for input M.

Consideration

M12179-420 v6

The density of recording equipment in power systems is increasing, since the number of modern IEDs, where recorders are included, is increasing. This leads to a vast number of recordings at every single disturbance and a lot of information has to be handled if the recording functions do not have proper settings. The goal is to optimize the settings in each IED to be able to capture just valuable disturbances and to maximize the number that is possible to save in the IED.

The recording time should not be longer than necessary (PostFaultrecT and TimeLimit).

· Should the function record faults only for the protected object or cover more? · How long is the longest expected fault clearing time? · Is it necessary to include reclosure in the recording or should a persistent fault generate a
second recording (PostRetrig)?

Minimize the number of recordings:

Section 15 Monitoring

· Binary signals: Use only relevant signals to start the recording that is, protection trip, carrier receive and/or start signals.
· Analog signals: The level triggering should be used with great care, since unfortunate settings will cause enormously number of recordings. If nevertheless analog input triggering is used, chose settings by a sufficient margin from normal operation values. Phase voltages are not recommended for trigging.
There is a risk of flash wear out if the disturbance report triggers too often.

Limit counter (L4UFCNT) is intended for applications where positive and/or negative flanks on a binary signal need to be counted.

The limit counter provides four independent limits to be checked against the accumulated counted value. The four limit reach indication outputs can be utilized to initiate proceeding actions. The output indicators remain high until the reset of the function.

It is also possible to initiate the counter from a non-zero value by resetting the function to the wanted initial value provided as a setting.

If applicable, the counter can be set to stop or rollover to zero and continue counting after reaching the maximum count value. The steady overflow output flag indicates the next count after reaching the maximum count value. It is also possible to set the counter to rollover and indicate the overflow as a pulse, which lasts up to the first count after rolling over to zero. In this case, periodic pulses will be generated at multiple overflow of the function.

Fault current and voltage monitoring function (FLTMMXU) is used for monitoring the fault data on occurrence of a fault event. The monitored data available can be used for post fault analysis, for example, switchgear stress for maximum current, doing the root cause analysis of fault event and short circuit analysis of a power system network.

Analyzing the faults on the power lines and transformer substations based on the available monitored data can help in managing the power system for improved performance. When a fault occurs, the binary input TRIGFLTUI of the function can be activated to trigger fault data monitoring, from the trip signal from the SMPPTRC function for example.

The following values are monitored in the function on occurrence of a trip event.

· Maximum peak current of individual phases during trip event (ILxMAXPK, where Lx =phase L1, L2 and L3)
· Maximum RMS current of individual phases during trip event (ILxMAX) · Maximum RMS current of all phases during trip event (IMAX) · Fundamental DFT current magnitude and angle of individual phases at the instant of triggering
(FLTILxMAG/FLTILxANG)

The main objective of line protection and monitoring IEDs is fast, selective and reliable operation for faults on a protected line section. Besides this, information on distance to fault is very important for those involved in operation and maintenance. Reliable information on the fault location greatly decreases the downtime of the protected lines and increases the total availability of a power system.

The fault locator is started with the input CALCDIST to which trip signals indicating in-line faults are connected, typically distance protection zone 1 and accelerating zone or the line differential protection. The disturbance report must also be started for the same faults since the function uses pre- and post-fault information from the trip value recorder function (TVR).

Beside this information the function must be informed about faulted phases for correct loop selection (phase selective outputs from differential protection, distance protection, directional OC protection, and so on). The following loops are used for different types of faults:

· For 3 phase faults: Loop L1 - L2 · For 2 phase faults: The loop between the faulted phases · For 2 phase-to-earth faults: The loop between the faulted phases · For phase-to-earth faults: The phase-to-earth loop

LMBRFLO function indicates the distance to fault as a percentage of the line length, in kilometers or miles as selected on the local HMI. LineLengthUnit setting is used to select the unit of length either, in kilometer or miles for the distance to fault. The distance to the fault, which is calculated with a high accuracy, is stored together with the recorded disturbances. This information can be read on the local HMI, uploaded to PCM600 and is available on the station bus according to IEC 61850­8­1.

The distance to fault can be recalculated on the local HMI by using the measuring algorithm for different fault loops or for changed system parameters.

Setting guidelines
The parameters for the Fault locator function are set via the local HMI or PCM600.

Section 15 Monitoring

The Fault locator algorithm uses phase voltages, phase currents and residual current in observed bay (protected line) and residual current from a parallel bay (line, which is mutual coupled to protected line).
The Fault locator has close connection to the Disturbance report function. All external analog inputs (channel 1-30), connected to the Disturbance report function, are available to the Fault locator and the function uses information calculated by the Trip value recorder. After allocation of analog inputs to the Disturbance report function, the user has to point out which analog inputs to be used by the Fault locator. According to the default settings the first four analog inputs are currents and next three are voltages in the observed bay (no parallel line expected since chosen input is set to zero). Use the Parameter Setting tool within PCM600 for changing analog configuration.
The measured phase voltages can be fine tuned with the parameters UL1Gain, UL2Gain, and UL3Gain to further increase the accuracy of the fault locator.
The list of parameters explains the meaning of the abbreviations. Figure 167 also presents these system parameters graphically. Note, that all impedance values relate to their primary values and to the total length of the protected line.

Simplified network configuration with network data, required for settings of the fault location-measuring function

For a single-circuit line (no parallel line), the figures for mutual zero-sequence impedance (X0M, R0M) and analog input are set at zero.

Power system specific parameter settings are not general settings but specific setting included in the setting groups, that is, this makes it possible to change conditions for the Fault locator with short notice by changing setting group.

The source impedance is not constant in the network. However, this has a minor influence on the accuracy of the distance-to-fault calculation, because only the phase angle of the distribution factor has an influence on the accuracy. The phase angle of the distribution factor is normally very low and practically constant, because the positive sequence line impedance, which has an angle close to 90°, dominates it. Always set the source impedance resistance to values other than zero. If the actual values are not known, the values that correspond to the source impedance characteristic angle of 85° give satisfactory results.

Application

M13395-3 v6

Pulse-counter logic (PCFCNT) function counts externally generated binary pulses, for instance pulses coming from an external energy meter, for calculation of energy consumption values. The pulses are captured by the binary input module (BIM), and read by the PCFCNT function. The number of pulses in the counter is then reported via the station bus to the substation automation system or read via the station monitoring system as a service value. When using IEC 61850­8­1, a scaled service value is available over the station bus.

The normal use for this function is the counting of energy pulses from external energy meters. An optional number of inputs from an arbitrary input module in IED can be used for this purpose with a frequency of up to 40 Hz. The pulse-counter logic PCFCNT can also be used as a general purpose counter.

Setting guidelines
Parameters that can be set individually for each pulse counter from PCM600:

M13396-4 v9

· Operation: Off/On · tReporting: 0-3600s · EventMask: NoEvents/ReportEvents

Configuration of inputs and outputs of PCFCNT is made via PCM600.

On the Binary input module (BIM), the debounce filter default time is set to 5ms, that is, the counter suppresses pulses with a pulse length less than 5 ms. The input oscillation blocking frequency is preset to 40 Hz meaning that the counter detects the input to oscillate if the input frequency is greater than 40 Hz. Oscillation suppression is released at 30 Hz. Block/release values for oscillation can be changed on the local HMI and PCM600 under Main menu /Configuration /I/O modules .

The setting is common for all input channels on BIM, that is, if limit changes are made for inputs not connected to the pulse counter, the setting also influences the inputs on the same board used for pulse counting.

Energy calculation and demand handling function (ETPMMTR) is intended for statistics of the forward and reverse active and reactive energy. It has a high accuracy basically given by the measurements function (CVMMXN). This function has a site calibration possibility to further increase the total accuracy.

The function is connected to the instantaneous outputs of (CVMMXN) as shown in figure 169.

Connection of energy calculation and demand handling function ETPMMTR to the measurements function (CVMMXN)

The energy values can be read through communication in MWh and MVArh in monitoring tool of PCM600 and/or alternatively the values can be presented on the local HMI. The local HMI graphical display is configured with PCM600 Graphical Display Editor tool (GDE) with a measuring value which is selected to the active and reactive component as preferred. Also all Accumulated Active Forward, Active Reverse, Reactive Forward and Reactive Reverse energy values can be presented.

Maximum demand values are presented in MWh or MVArh in the same way.

Alternatively, the energy values can be presented with use of the pulse counters function (PCGGIO). The output energy values are scaled with the pulse output setting values EAFAccPlsQty, EARAccPlsQty, ERFAccPlsQty and ERVAccPlsQty of the energy metering function and then the pulse counter can be set-up to present the correct values by scaling in this function. Pulse counter values can then be presented on the local HMI in the same way and/or sent to the SA (Substation Automation) system through communication where the total energy then is calculated by summation of the energy pulses. This principle is good for very high values of energy as the saturation of numbers else will limit energy integration to about one year with 50 kV and 3000 A. After that the accumulation will start on zero again.

Setting guidelines
The parameters are set via the local HMI or PCM600.

Access point

Application

GUID-2942DF07-9BC1-4F49-9611-A5691D2C925C v1

The access points are used to connect the IED to the communication buses (like the station bus) that use communication protocols. The access point can be used for single and redundant data communication. The access points are also used for communication with the merging units and for time synchronization using Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

Setting guidelines

GUID-CEDC23B1-09F6-4C85-98D8-9D8E2C2553FE v3

The physical ports allocated to access points 2­4 have to be added in the hardware tool in PCM600 before the access points can be configured. The factory setting only includes the physical ports allocated to the front port and access point 1.
The front port might or might not be available depending on the order type of the display. In the Ethernet configuration, the front port setting will still be available.
The settings for the access points are configured using the Ethernet configuration tool (ECT) in PCM600.
The access point is activated if the Operation checkbox is checked for the respective access point and a partial or common write to IED is performed.
To increase security, it is recommended to deactivate the access point when it is not in use.
Redundancy and PTP cannot be set for the front port (Access point 0) as redundant communication and PTP are only available for the rear optical Ethernet ports.
Subnetwork shows the SCL subnetwork to which the access point is connected. This column shows the SCL subnetworks available in the PCM600 project. SCL subnetworks can be created/deleted in the Subnetworks tab of IEC 61850 Configuration tool in PCM600.
When saving the ECT configuration after selecting a subnetwork, ECT creates the access point in the SCL model. Unselecting the subnetwork removes the access point from the SCL model. This column is editable for IEC 61850 Ed2 IEDs and not editable for IEC 61850 Ed1 IEDs because in IEC 61850 Ed1 only one access point can be modelled in SCL.
The IP address can be set in IP address. ECT validates the value, the access points have to be on separate subnetworks.
The subnetwork mask can be set in Subnet mask. This field will be updated to the SCL model based on the Subnetwork selection.
To select which communication protocols can be run on the respective access points, check or uncheck the check box for the relevant protocol. The protocols are not activated/deactivated in ECT, only filtered for the specific access point. For information on how to activate the individual communication protocols, see the communication protocol chapters.

17.1.2.1

To increase security it is recommended to uncheck protocols that are not used on the access point.

The default gateway can be selected by entering the IP address in Default gateway. The default gateway is the router that is used to communicate with the devices in the other subnetwork. By default this is set to 0.0.0.0 which means that no default gateway is selected. ECT validates the entered value, but the default gateway has to be in the same subnetwork as the access point. The default gateway is the router that is being used as default, that is when no route has been set up for the destination. If communication with a device in another subnetwork is needed, a route has to be set up. For more information on routes, see the Routes chapter in the Technical manual and the Application manual.
DHCP can be activated for the front port from the LHMI in Main menu/Configuration / Communication/Ethernet configuration /Front port/DHCP:1

GUID-520FFA23-CB94-409A-9E67-A63CF2FBA9F1 v1

To set the access point parameters navigate to Configuration/Communication /Ethernet configuration.

Additional checks are added while setting the Access Point configuration from LHMI to prevent the user from wrongly configuring the parameters.

Subnetting Rules
To correctly configure access points' parameters such as IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway address. Subnetting rules should be considered. Subnetting puts a limit on the range of IP addresses that can be assigned to the devices (hosts) in a given subnetwork. This limit is decided by the subnet mask.
Subnetwork of any access point is decided by the combination of the assigned IP address and subnet mask. For all configured AP's in the IED, there should not be any duplication of subnet. This means each access point should be configured in a separate subnet. Please note that in LHMI, subnetting rules are checked on enabled access points only.
If the user sets an IP address and Subnet mask that violates subnetting rules, then the following popup will be shown before the user tries to save the changes.

Merging unit

Application

GUID-E630C16F-EDB8-40AE-A8A2-94189982D15F v1

The IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE process bus communication protocol enables an IED to communicate with devices providing measured values in digital format, commonly known as Merging Units (MU). The rear access points are used for the communication.

The merging units (MU) are called so because they can gather analog values from one or more measuring transformers, sample the data and send the data over process bus to other clients (or subscribers) in the system. Some merging units are able to get data from classical measuring transformers, others from non-conventional measuring transducers and yet others can pick up data from both types.

Routes

Application

GUID-19616AC4-0FFD-4FF4-9198-5E33938E5ABD v1

Setting up a route enables communication to a device that is located in another subnetwork. Routing is used when the destination device is not in the same subnetwork as the default gateway.

The route specifies that when a package is sent to the destination device it should be sent through the selected router. If no route is specified the source device will not find the destination device.

Setting guidelines
Routes are configured using the Ethernet configuration tool in PCM600.

GUID-2C4A312A-00DC-44C8-B2D9-CD0822E1C806 v1

Operation for the route can be set to On/Off by checking and unchecking the check-box in the operation column.

Gateway specifies the address of the gateway.

Destination specifies the destination.

Destination subnet mask specifies the subnetwork mask of the destination.

Communication protocols

M14815-3 v16

Each IED is provided with several communication interfaces enabling it to connect to one or many substation level systems or equipment, either on the Substation Automation (SA) bus or Substation Monitoring (SM) bus.

Available communication protocols are:

· IEC 61850-8-1 communication protocol · IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE communication protocol · LON communication protocol · SPA communication protocol · IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol · Syslog (RFC 5424) standard

Several protocols can be combined in the same IED.

The LPHD.PhyHealth reflects the physical health of the IED. The status is set to Alarm when there is an internal failure in the IED or Warning if any active communication link fails.

IEC 61850-8-1 communication protocol IP14616-1 v2
Application IEC 61850-8-1 IP14865-1 v2
IEC 61850-8-1 communication protocol allows vertical communication to HSI clients and allows M13912-3 v4 horizontal communication between two or more intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) from one or several vendors to exchange information and to use it in the performance of their functions and for correct co-operation.
GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event), which is a part of IEC 61850­8­1 standard, allows the IEDs to communicate state and control information amongst themselves, using a publishsubscribe mechanism. That is, upon detecting an event, the IED(s) use a multi-cast transmission to notify those devices that have registered to receive the data. An IED can, by publishing a GOOSE message, report its status. It can also request a control action to be directed at any device in the network.
Figure 176 shows the topology of an IEC 61850­8­1 configuration. IEC 61850­8­1 specifies onlyM13913-3 v6 the interface to the substation LAN. The LAN itself is left to the system integrator.

IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE communication protocol

SEMOD172279 v3

Introduction SEMOD166571-1 v2
Every IED can be provided with communication interfaces enabling it to connect to the processSEMOD166590-5 v7 buses in order to get data from analog data acquisition units close to the process (primary apparatus), commonly known as Merging Units (MU). The protocol used in this case is the IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE communication protocol.

The IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE standard does not specify the quality of the sampled values. Thus, the accuracy of the current and voltage inputs to the merging unit and the inaccuracy added by the merging unit must be coordinated with the requirement for the actual type of protection function.

Factors influencing the accuracy of the sampled values from the merging unit are, for example, anti aliasing filters, frequency range, step response, truncating, A/D conversion inaccuracy, time tagging accuracy etc.

In principle, the accuracy of the current and voltage transformers, together with the merging unit, will have the same quality as the direct input of currents and voltages.

The process bus physical layout can be arranged in several ways, described in Annex B of the standard, depending on what are the needs for sampled data in a substation.

The IED can get analog values simultaneously from a classical CT or VT and from a Merging Unit, like in this example:

The merging units (MU) are called so because they can gather analog values from one or more measuring transformers, sample the data and send the data over process bus to other clients (or subscribers) in the system. Some merging units are able to get data from classical measuring transformers, others from non-conventional measuring transducers and yet others can pick up data from both types. The electronic part of a non-conventional measuring transducer (like a Rogowski coil or a capacitive divider) can represent a MU by itself as long as it can send sampled data over process bus.

Faulty merging unit for bay in service

GUID-CBAB6232-91E6-487C-8C75-7150E2350A6B v2

When a merging unit goes faulty while the bay is in service, the protection functions connected to that merging unit get blocked. Also, protection functions configured in a 1 1/2 circuit breaker applications, where two SV streams from different merging units are combined get blocked. Thus, this has no effect on protection functions in a 1 1/2 circuit breaker configuration.

This can be resolved by connecting external binary input signals to the BLOCK input on the respective SMAI function blocks with the use of ACT. When the BLOCK input on a SMAI function is energized, the SMAI function delivers a magnitude of zero with good quality for all the channels. Thus, this has no effect on a busbar protection, nor protections in an 1 1/2 circuit breaker configuration.

When a bay need maintenance and has energized merging unit connected, it is always a risk to get unplanned interruptions in the auxiliary power supply which may lead to unwanted blocking of protections.

This is resolved by setting the merging unit "out of service" by setting the parameter "Operation" in "Main menu/Configuration/Analog modules/Mu....", to "Out of service" instead of "In service". The merging unit will look like it is in normal operation from the protection point of view, with perfect 0value input values, comparable to a TRM that is not connected. A hint will be shown to inform that a merging unit is out of service.

Setting guidelines
Merging Units (MUs) have several settings on local HMI under:

Specific settings related to the IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE communication SEMOD166590-24 v8
The process bus communication IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE has specific settings, similar to the analog inputs modules.
If there are more than one sample group involved, time synch is mandatory. If there is no time synchronization, the protection functions will be blocked due to condition blocking.
CTStarPointx: These parameters specify the direction to or from object. See also section "Setting of current channels".
SyncLostMode: If this parameter is set to Block and the IED hardware time synchronization is lost or the synchronization to the MU time is lost, the protection functions in the list "" will be blocked due to conditional blocking. If this parameter is set to BlockOnLostUTC, the protection functions in list "" are blocked if the IED hardware time synchronization is lost or the synchronization of the MU time is lost or the IED has lost global common synchronization (i.e. GPS, IRIG-B or PTP). SYNCH output will be set if IED hardware time synchronization is lost. MUSYNCH output will be set if either of MU or IED hardware time synchronization is lost.

Binary signals over LDCM are transmitted as valid and processed normally even when analog signals are transmitted as invalid due to loss of communication or loss of time synchronization.

Setting examples for IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE and time synchronization GUID-CEDD520A-8A13-41DF-BFF1-8A3B4C00E098 v5
The IED and the Merging Units (MU) should use the same time reference especially if analog data is used from several sources, for example from an internal TRM and an MU, or if several physical MUs are used. Having the same time reference is important to correlate data so that channels from different sources refer to the correct phase angle.
When only one MU is used as an analog source, it is theoretically possible to do without time synchronization. However, this would mean that timestamps for analog and binary data/events become uncorrelated. If the IED has no time synchronization source configured, then the binary data/ events will be synchronized with the merging unit. However, the global/complete time might not be correct. Disturbance recordings then appear incorrect since analog data is timestamped by MU, and binary events use the internal IED time. It is thus recommended to use time synchronization also when analog data emanate from only one MU.
An external time source can be used to synchronize both the IED and the MU. It is also possible to use the MU as a clock master to synchronize the IED from the MU. When using an external clock, it is possible to set the IED to be synchronized via PPS,IRIG-B or PTP. It is also possible to use an internal GPS receiver in the IED (if the external clock is using GPS).

Two status monitoring signals with no time synchronization:
· SYNCH signal on the MUx function block indicates that protection functions are blocked due to loss of internal time synchronization to the IED. Since SyncLostMode is set to No block, this signal is not set.
· MUSYNCH signal on the MUx function block is set if the datastream indicates time synchronization loss. However, protection functions are not blocked.
To get higher availability in protection functions, it is possible to avoid blocking during time synchronization loss if there is a single source of analog data. This means that if there is only one physical MU and no TRM, parameter SyncLostMode is set to No block but parameter HwSyncSrc is still set to PPS. This maintains analog and binary data correlation in disturbance recordings without blocking protection functions if PPS is lost.

The quality expander component is used to display the detailed quality of an IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE analog channel. The component expands the channel quality output of a Merging Unit analog channel received in the IED as per the IEC 61850-7-3 standard. This component can be used during the ACT monitoring to get the particular channel quality of the Merging Unit.

Corporation. This protocol is designed for communication in control networks and is a peer-to-peer

protocol where all the devices connected to the network can communicate with each other directly.

For more information of the bay-to-bay communication, refer to the section Multiple command

function.

Hardware and software modules The hardware needed for applying LON communication depends on the application, but one veryM14804-35 v5 central unit needed is the LON Star Coupler and optical fibers connecting the star coupler to the IEDs. To interface the IEDs from the MicroSCADA with Classic Monitor, application library LIB520 is required.

The HV Control 670 software module is included in the LIB520 high-voltage process package, which is a part of the Application Software Library in MicroSCADA applications.
The HV Control 670 software module is used for control functions in the IEDs. The module contains a process picture, dialogues and a tool to generate a process database for the control application in MicroSCADA.
When using MicroSCADA Monitor Pro instead of the Classic Monitor, SA LIB is used together with 670 series Object Type files.
The HV Control 670 software module and 670 series Object Type files are used with both 650 and 670 series IEDs.

Use the LON Network Tool (LNT) to set the LON communication. This is a software tool applied as one node on the LON bus. To communicate via LON, the IEDs need to know
· The node addresses of the other connected IEDs. · The network variable selectors to be used.
This is organized by LNT.
The node address is transferred to LNT via the local HMI by setting the parameter ServicePinMsg = Yes. The node address is sent to LNT via the LON bus, or LNT can scan the network for new nodes.
The communication speed of the LON bus is set to the default of 1.25 Mbit/s. This can be changed by LNT.

SPA communication is mainly used for the Station Monitoring System. It can include different IEDs with remote communication possibilities. Connection to a PC can be made directly (if the PC is located in the substation), via a telephone modem through a telephone network with ITU (former CCITT) characteristics or via a LAN/WAN connection.

Functionality The SPA protocol V2.5 is an ASCII-based protocol for serial communication. The communicaSEtMiOoDn1157i6s7-25 v3 based on a master-slave principle, where the IED is a slave and the PC is the master. Only one master can be applied on each fiber optic loop. A program is required in the master computer for interpretation of the SPA-bus codes and for translation of the data that should be sent to the IED.
For the specification of the SPA protocol V2.5, refer to SPA-bus Communication Protocol V2.5.

Setting guidelines

M11876-3 v7

SPA, IEC 60870-5-103 and DNP3 use the same rear communication port. This port can be set for SPA use on the local HMI under Main menu /Configuration /Communication /Station communication/Port configuration /SLM optical serial port/PROTOCOL:1 . When the communication protocol is selected, the IED is automatically restarted, and the port then operates as a SPA port.

The SPA communication setting parameters are set on the local HMI under Main menu / Configuration/Communication /Station communication/SPA /SPA:1.

The most important SPA communication setting parameters are SlaveAddress and BaudRate. They are essential for all communication contact to the IED. SlaveAddress and BaudRate can be set only on the local HMI for rear and front channel communication.

SlaveAddress can be set to any value between 1­899 as long as the slave number is unique within the used SPA loop. BaudRate (communication speed) can be set between 300­38400 baud. BaudRate should be the same for the whole station although different communication speeds in a loop are possible. If different communication speeds are used in the same fiber optical loop or RS485 network, take this into account when making the communication setup in the communication master (the PC).

With local fiber optic communication, communication speed is usually set to 19200 or 38400 baud. With telephone communication, the speed setting depends on the quality of the connection and the type of modem used. Refer to technical data to determine the rated communication speed for the selected communication interfaces.

The IED does not adapt its speed to the actual communication conditions because the communication speed is set on the local HMI.

Example of IEC 60870-5-103 communication structure for a substation automation system

IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol is mainly used when a protection IED communicates with a third party control or monitoring system. This system must have software that can interpret the IEC 60870-5-103 communication messages.

When communicating locally in the station using a Personal Computer (PC) or a Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) connected to the Communication and processing module, the only hardware needed is optical fibers and an opto/electrical converter for the PC/RTU, or a RS-485 connection depending on the used IED communication interface.

Functionality

M17109-38 v3

IEC 60870-5-103 is an unbalanced (master-slave) protocol for coded-bit serial communication exchanging information with a control system. In IEC terminology a primary station is a master and a secondary station is a slave. The communication is based on a point-to-point principle. The master must have software that can interpret the IEC 60870-5-103 communication messages. For detailed information about IEC 60870-5-103, refer to IEC 60870 standard part 5: Transmission protocols, and to the section 103, Companion standard for the informative interface of protection equipment.

Event reporting mode
If EventRepMode = SeqOfEvent, all GI and spontaneous events will be delivered in the order they were generated by BSW. The most recent value is the latest value delivered. All GI data from a single block will come from the same cycle.
If EventRepMode = HiPriSpont, spontaneous events will be delivered prior to GI event. To prevent old GI data from being delivered after a new spontaneous event, the pending GI event is modified to contain the same value as the spontaneous event. As a result, the GI dataset is not time-correlated.

I103USEDEF For each input of the I103USEDEF function there is a setting for the information number of the GUID-A41170D6-2846-4E5E-8B7F-85B53D4EF6B6 v1 connected signal. The information number can be set to any value between 0 and 255. To get proper operation of the sequence of events the event masks in the event function is to be set to ON_CHANGE. For single-command signals, the event mask is to be set to ON_SET.

In addition there is a setting on each event block for function type. Refer to description of the Main Function type set on the local HMI.

Commands As for the commands defined in the protocol there is a dedicated function block with eight outputM17109-138 v2 signals. Use PCM600 to configure these signals. To realize the BlockOfInformation command, which is operated from the local HMI, the output BLKINFO on the IEC command function block ICOM has to be connected to an input on an event function block. This input must have the information number 20 (monitor direction blocked) according to the standard.

Disturbance Recordings For each input of the Disturbance recorder function there is a setting for the information number of M17109-141 v8 the connected signal. The function type and the information number can be set to any value between 0 and 255. To get INF and FUN for the recorded binary signals, there are parameters on the disturbance recorder for each input. The user must set these parameters to whatever he connects to the corresponding input.

Refer to description of Main Function type set on the local HMI.

Recorded analog channels are sent with ASDU26 and ASDU31. One information element in these ASDUs is called ACC, and it indicates the actual channel to be processed. The channels on disturbance recorder are sent with an ACC as shown in Table 42.

Application IP16245-1 v1
The IEDs can be equipped with communication devices for line differential communication (not M12844-3 v5 applicable for RER670) and/or communication of binary signals between IEDs. The same communication hardware is used for both purposes.
Communication between two IEDs geographically on different locations is a fundamental part of the line differential function.
Sending of binary signals between two IEDs is used in teleprotection schemes and for direct transfer trips. In addition to this, there are application possibilities, for example, blocking/enabling functionality in the remote substation, changing setting group in the remote IED depending on the switching situation in the local substation and so on.
If equipped with a 64kbit/s LDCM module, the IED can be configured to send either 192 binary signals or 3 analog and 8 binary signals to a remote IED. If equipped with a 2Mbps LDCM module, the IED can send 9 analog channels and 192 binary channels to a remote IED. For line differential, the number of binary signals is limited to 8 because the line differential communication is included in the same telegrams.
This functionality is mainly used for the line differential protection. However, it can be used in other products as well.
Remote current received through LDCM must be connected only to 1ms pre-processing SMAI block. Consequently, the same 1ms pre-processing block used for differential protection must be used for connecting remote currents to the disturbance recorder.
Important to know when connecting LDCM to SMAI function block with 3 or 8 ms cycle time.
Doing so will affect all protections for the connected cycle time. LDCM 64kbit will increase trip time about 5 - 15 ms during normal conditions. LDCM 2Mbit will increase trip time about 2-3 ms during normal conditions. In addition IED can get transmission delay from communication either from direct fiber or other equipment such as MUXs etc. Maximum supported communication delay is 40 ms.

Communication hardware solutions

M12844-11 v7

The LDCM (Line Data Communication Module) has an optical connection such that two IEDs can be connected over a direct fiber (multimode), as shown in figure 191. The protocol used is IEEE/ANSI C37.94. The distance with this solution is typical 110 km.

When an external modem G.703 is used, the connection between LDCM and the modem is made with a multimode fiber of max. 3 km length. The IEEE/ANSI C37.94 protocol is always used between LDCM and the modem.

Setting guidelines

M12454-3 v10

ChannelMode can be set to Normal or Blocked. It can also be set to OutOfService. In that case, the communication channel remains active, and a message is sent to the remote IED that the local IED is out of service. However, no COMFAIL signal exists and the analog and binary values are sent as zero.

TerminalNo is used to assign a unique address to each LDCM in all current differential IEDs. Up to 256 LDCMs can be assigned a unique number. For example, in a local IED with two LDCMs:

· LDCM for slot 305: set TerminalNo to 1 and RemoteTermNo to 2 · LDCM for slot 306: set TerminalNo to 3 and RemoteTermNo to 4

A unique address is necessary to give high security against incorrect addressing in the communication system. If the same number is used for TerminalNo in some of the LDCMs, a loop-back test in the communication system can give an incorrect trip.

Section 19 Remote communication

RemoteTermNo is used to assign a number to each related LDCM in the remote IED. For each LDCM, RemoteTermNo is set to a different value than TerminalNo, but equal to the TerminalNo of the remote end LDCM. In the remote IED, TerminalNo and RemoteTermNo are reversed as follows: · LDCM for slot 305: set TerminalNo to 2 and RemoteTermNo to 1 · LDCM for slot 306: set TerminalNo to 4 and RemoteTermNo to 3
The redundant channel is always configured to the lower position, for example: · Slot 305: main channel · Slot 306: redundant channel
The same is applicable for slot 312-313.
DiffSync: defines the method of time synchronization for the line differential function: Echo
Using Echo in this case is safe only if there is no risk of varying transmission asymmetry.

CommSync defines the Master and Slave relation in the communication system, and should not be mistaken for the synchronization of line differential current samples. When direct fiber is used, one LDCM is set as Master and the other as Slave. When a modem and multiplexer is used, the IED is always set as Slave because the telecommunication system provides the clock master.
OptoPower has two settings: LowPower is used for fibers 0 ­ 1 km and HighPower for fibers >1 km.
ComFailAlrmDel defines the time delay for communication failure alarm. In communication systems, route switching can sometimes cause interruptions with a duration of up to 50 ms. Too short a time delay can thus cause nuisance alarms.
ComFailResDel defines the time delay for communication failure alarm reset.
RedChSwTime defines the time delay before switching over to a redundant channel in case of primary channel failure.
RedChRturnTime defines the time delay before switching back to the primary channel after channel failure.
AsymDelay denotes asymmetry which is defined as transmission delay minus receive delay. If fixed asymmetry is known, Echo synchronization method can be used, provided that AsymDelay is properly set. From the definition follows that asymmetry is always positive at one end and negative at the other end.
AnalogLatency specifies the time delay (number of samples) between actual sampling and the time the sample reaches LDCM. The value is set to 2 when transmitting analog data..
MaxTransmDelay indicates maximum transmission delay. Data for maximum 40 ms transmission delay can be buffered up. Delay times in the range of some ms are common. If data arrive in wrong order, the oldest data is disregarded.
MaxtDiffLevel indicates the maximum time difference allowed between internal clocks in respective line ends.
TransmCurr is used to select among the following:
· one of the two possible local currents is transmitted · sum of the two local currents is transmitted · channel is used as a redundant backup channel

1½ breaker arrangement has two local currents, and the Current Transformer (CT) earthing for those can differ. CT-SUM transmits the sum of the two CT groups. CT-DIFF1 transmits CT group 1 minus CT group 2 and CT-DIFF2 transmits CT group 2 minus CT group 1.
CT-GRP1 and CT-GRP2 transmit the respective CT groups, and setting RedundantChannel determines that the channel is used as a redundant backup channel. The redundant channel takes the CT group setting of the main channel.
RemAinLatency corresponds to LocAinLatency set in the remote IED.
CompRange value indicates the current peak value over which truncation is made. To set this value, knowledge of fault current levels is required. However, the setting is not very critical as it considers very high current values in which correct operation can usually still be achieved.

Authority status (ATHSTAT) function is an indication function block, which informs about two events related to the IED and the user authorization:

· the fact that at least one user has tried to log on wrongly into the IED and it was blocked (the output USRBLKED)
· the fact that at least one user is logged on (the output LOGGEDON)

The two outputs of ATHSTAT function can be used in the configuration for different indication and alarming reasons, or can be sent to the station control for the same purpose.

Self supervision with internal event list INTERRSIG IP1721-1 v2

Application

M12625-3 v9

The protection and control IEDs have many functions included. The included self-supervision with internal event list function block provides good supervision of the IED. The fault signals make it easier to analyze and locate a fault.

Both hardware and software supervision is included and it is also possible to indicate possible faults through a hardware contact on the power supply module and/or through the communication.

Internal events are generated by the built-in supervisory functions. The supervisory functions supervise the status of the various modules in the IED and, in case of failure, a corresponding event is generated. Similarly, when the failure is corrected, a corresponding event is generated.

Apart from the built-in supervision of the various modules, events are also generated when the status changes for the:

· built-in real time clock (in operation/out of order). · external time synchronization (in operation/out of order).

Events are also generated:

· whenever any setting in the IED is changed.

The internal events are time tagged with a resolution of 1 ms and stored in a list. The list can store up to 40 events. The list is based on the FIFO principle, that is, when it is full, the oldest event is overwritten. The list contents cannot be modified, but the whole list can be cleared using the Reset menu in the LHMI.

The list of internal events provides valuable information, which can be used during commissioning and fault tracing.

The information can, in addition to be viewed on the built in HMI, also be retrieved with the aid of a PC with PCM600 installed and by using the Event Monitoring Tool. The PC can either be connected to the front port, or to the port at the back of the IED.

Change lock functionality can be temporarily disabled/overridden using Maintenance menu. Maintenance menu/Recovery Menu (Password Protected)/Turn off Change-lock (Temporary).
Turning off the change-lock will override the change lock function until the next reboot of the IED. In this case, the change lock function cannot be activated, and the Override output will indicate that the change-lock is overridden.
GUID-8C333BC0-AA7A-4ED1-A772-18C22E8EEE62 v8
When CHNGLCK has a logical one on its input, then all attempts to modify the IED configuration and setting will be denied and the message "Error: Changes blocked" will be displayed on the local HMI; in PCM600 the message will be "Operation denied by active ChangeLock". The CHNGLCK function should be configured so that it is controlled by a signal from a binary input card. This guarantees that by setting that signal to a logical zero, CHNGLCK is deactivated. If any logic is included in the signal path to the CHNGLCK input, that logic must be designed so that it cannot permanently issue a logical one to the CHNGLCK input. If such a situation would occur in spite of these precautions, then please contact the local Hitachi Energy representative for remedial action.

Parameter setting groups IP1745-1 v2

Application

M12007-6 v10

Six sets of settings are available to optimize IED operation for different power system conditions. By creating and switching between fine tuned setting sets, either from the local HMI or configurable binary inputs, results in a highly adaptable IED that can cope with a variety of power system scenarios.

Different conditions in networks with different voltage levels require highly adaptable protection and control units to best provide for dependability, security and selectivity requirements. Protection units operate with a higher degree of availability, especially, if the setting values of their parameters are continuously optimized according to the conditions in the power system.

Operational departments can plan for different operating conditions in the primary equipment. The protection engineer can prepare the necessary optimized and pre-tested settings in advance for different protection functions. Six different groups of setting parameters are available in the IED. Any of them can be activated through the different programmable binary inputs by means of external or internal control signals.

A function block, SETGRPS, defines how many setting groups are used. Setting is done with parameter MAXSETGR and shall be set to the required value for each IED. Only the number of setting groups set will be available in the Parameter Setting tool for activation with the ActiveGroup function block.

Setting guidelines

M15259-3 v4

The setting ActiveSetGrp, is used to select which parameter group to be active. The active group can also be selected with configured input to the function block SETGRPS.

The length of the pulse, sent out by the output signal SETCHGD when an active group has changed, is set with the parameter t.

The parameter MAXSETGR defines the maximum number of setting groups in use to switch between. Only the selected number of setting groups will be available in the Parameter Setting tool (PST) for activation with the ActiveGroup function block.

SummationType: Summation type (Group 1 + Group 2, Group 1 - Group 2, Group 2 - Group 1 or ­ (Group 1 + Group 2)).

DFTReference: The reference DFT block (InternalDFT Ref,DFTRefGrp1 or External DFT ref) .

DFTRefGrp1: This setting means use own internal adaptive DFT reference ( this setting makes the SUM3PH self DFT adaptive, that is, it will use the measured frequency for the summation signal to adapt DFT).

InternalDFTRef: Gives fixed window DFT (to nominal system frequency).

ExternalDFTRef: This setting means that the DFT samples-per-cycle (adaptive DFT) will be controlled by SMAI1 SPFCOUT.

FreqMeasMinVal: The minimum value of the voltage for which the frequency is calculated, expressed as percent of UBasebase voltage setting (for each instance x).

GlobalBaseSel: Selects the global base value group used by the function to define (IBase), (UBase) and (SBase).

This is an advantage since all applicable functions in the IED use a single source of base values. This facilitates consistency throughout the IED and also facilitates a single point for updating values when necessary.
Each applicable function in the IED has a parameter, GlobalBaseSel, defining one out of the twelve sets of GBASVAL functions.

GUID-E3F5D754-BD17-4729-895B-957A09C2AC75 v4

UBase: Phase-to-phase voltage value to be used as a base value for applicable functions throughout the IED.

IBase: Phase current value to be used as a base value for applicable functions throughout the IED.

SBase: Standard apparent power value to be used as a base value for applicable functions throughout the IED, typically SBase=3·UBase·IBase.

21.10.1 21.10.2

Application

SEMOD55744-4 v10

Signal matrix for analog inputs (SMAI), also known as the preprocessor function block, analyses the connected four analog signals (three phases and neutral) and calculates all relevant information from them like the phasor magnitude, phase angle, frequency, true RMS value, harmonics, sequence components and so on. This information is then used by the respective functions connected to this SMAI block in ACT (for example protection, measurement or monitoring functions).

Frequency values

GUID-B494B93C-B5AA-4FD6-8080-8611C34C2AD8 v5

The SMAI function includes a functionality based on the level of positive sequence voltage, MinValFreqMeas, to validate if the frequency measurement is valid or not. If the positive sequence voltage is lower than MinValFreqMeas, the function freezes the frequency output value for 500 ms and after that the frequency output is set to the nominal value. A signal is available for the SMAI function to prevent operation due to non-valid frequency values. MinValFreqMeas is set as % of UBase/3

If SMAI setting ConnectionType is Ph-Ph, at least two of the inputs GRPxL1, GRPxL2 and GRPxL3, where 1x12, must be connected in order to calculate the positive sequence voltage. Note that phase to phase inputs shall always be connected as follows: L1-L2 to GRPxL1, L2-L3 to GRPxL2, L3-L1 to GRPxL3. If SMAI setting ConnectionType is Ph-N, all three inputs GRPxL1, GRPxL2 and GRPxL3 must be connected in order to calculate the positive sequence voltage.

If only one phase-phase voltage is available and SMAI setting ConnectionType is Ph-Ph, the user is advised to connect two (not three) of the inputs GRPxL1, GRPxL2 and GRPxL3 to the same voltage input as shown in figure 194 to make SMAI calculate a positive sequence voltage.

The above described scenario does not work if SMAI setting ConnectionType is Ph-N. If only one phase-earth voltage is available, the same type of connection can be used but the SMAI ConnectionType setting must still be Ph-Ph and this has to be accounted for when setting MinValFreqMeas. If SMAI setting ConnectionType is Ph-N and the same voltage is connected to all three SMAI inputs, the positive sequence voltage will be zero and the frequency functions will not work properly.

The outputs from the above configured SMAI block shall only be used for Overfrequency protection (SAPTOF), Underfrequency protection (SAPTUF) and Rate-of-change frequency protection (SAPFRC) due to that all other information except frequency and positive sequence voltage might be wrongly calculated.

SMAI incorrect calculated phase-earth

GUID-7AE6FC17-74AA-403B-8559-3B9D6DA1E433 v1

In some configurations SMAI may produce incorrectly calculated phase-earth values, when this is the case, a hint will be available in LHMI with text as below.

Section 21 Basic IED functions

21.10.4

Calculated phase-earth values are used from one or more SMAIs configured for phase-phase inputs, without connection to N input.
However, this configuration, combined with unbalanced three-phase input, results in incorrect calculated phase-earth values.
This in turn may result in maloperation of functions connected to SMAIs configured in this way, if the function uses phase-earth based values.
Further, if SUM3PH is connected to such a SMAI, then its output values will be incorrect, and the connected functions may maloperate.
To rectify this situation, revise the configuration from this perspective.

Setting guidelines

GUID-C8D6C88B-87C6-44C1-804B-CF1594365EE6 v10

The parameters for the signal matrix for analog inputs (SMAI) functions are set via the local HMI or PCM600.

Every SMAI function block can receive four analog signals (three phases and one neutral value), either voltage or current. SMAI outputs give information about every aspect of the 3ph analog signals acquired (phase angle, RMS value, frequency and frequency derivates, and so on ­ 244 values in total). Besides the block "group name", the analog inputs type (voltage or current) and the analog input names can be set directly in ACT.

Application functions should be connected to a SMAI block with same task cycle as the application function, except for e.g. measurement functions that run in slow cycle tasks.

DFTRefExtOut: Parameter valid only for function block SMAI1 .

Reference block for external output (SPFCOUT function output).

DFTReference: Reference DFT for the SMAI block use.

These DFT reference block settings decide DFT reference for DFT calculations. The setting InternalDFTRef will use fixed DFT reference based on set system frequency. DFTRefGrp(n) will use DFT reference from the selected group block, when own group is selected, an adaptive DFT reference will be used based on calculated signal frequency from own group. The setting ExternalDFTRef will use reference based on what is connected to input DFTSPFC.

The setting ConnectionType: Connection type for that specific instance (n) of the SMAI (if it is Ph-N or Ph-Ph). Depending on connection type setting the not connected Ph-N or Ph-Ph outputs will be calculated as long as they are possible to calculate. E.g. at Ph-Ph connection L1, L2 and L3 will be calculated for use in symmetrical situations. If N component should be used respectively the phase component during faults IN/UN must be connected to input 4.

Negation: If the user wants to negate the 3ph signal, it is possible to choose to negate only the phase signals Negate3Ph, only the neutral signal NegateN or both Negate3Ph+N. negation means rotation with 180° of the vectors.

GlobalBaseSel: Selects the global base value group used by the function to define (IBase), (UBase) and (SBase).

MinValFreqMeas: The minimum value of the voltage for which the frequency is calculated, expressed as percent of UBase (for each instance n).

Settings DFTRefExtOut and DFTReference shall be set to default value InternalDFTRef if no VT inputs are available.

Even if the user sets the AnalogInputType of a SMAI block to "Current", the MinValFreqMeas is still visible. However, using the current channel values as base for frequency measurement is not recommendable for a number of reasons, not last among them being the low level of currents that one can have in normal operating conditions.
Examples of adaptive frequency tracking
Preprocessing block shall only be used to feed functions within the same execution cycles (e.g. use preprocessing block with cycle 1 to feed transformer differential protection). The only exceptions are measurement functions (CVMMXN, CMMXU,VMMXU, etc.) which shall be fed by preprocessing blocks with cycle 8.
When two or more preprocessing blocks are used to feed one protection function (e.g. over-power function GOPPDOP), it is of outmost importance that parameter setting DFTReference has the same set value for all of the preprocessing blocks involved

Application

M11407-3 v9

The protection and control IEDs may have a complex configuration with many included functions. To make the testing procedure easier, the IEDs include the feature that allows individual blocking of a single-, several-, or all functions.

This means that it is possible to see when a function is activated or trips. It also enables the user to follow the operation of several related functions to check correct functionality and to check parts of the configuration, and to check parts.

21.11.1.1

IEC 61850 protocol test mode

GUID-82998715-6F23-4CAF-92E4-05E1A863CF33 v6

The function block TESTMODE has implemented the extended testing mode capabilities for IEC 61850 Ed2 systems. Operator commands sent to the function block TESTMODE determine the behavior of the functions. The command can be given remotely from an IEC 61850 client or from the LHMI under the Main menu /Test/Function test modes /Communication/Station Communication /IEC61850 LD0 LLN0/LD0LLN0:1 . The possible values of the function block TESTMODE are described in Communication protocol manual, IEC 61850 Edition 1 and Edition 2.

There is no setting in PCM600 via PST for the TESTMODE function block.

To be able to set the function block TESTMODE remotely, the setting via path on LHMI and in PST: Main menu /Configuration/Communication / Station Communication/ IEC61850-8-1 /IEC61850-8-1:1 RemoteModControl may not be set to Off. The possible values of the parameter RemoteModControl are Off, Maintenance or All levels. The Off value denies all access to function block TESTMODE from remote, Maintenance requires that the category of the originator (orCat) is Maintenance and All levels allow any orCat.
The DataObject Mod of the Root LD.LNN0 can be set on the LHMI under Main menu/Test/Function test modes/Communication/Station communication /IEC61850 LD0 LLN0/LD0LLN0:1 to On, Off, TestBlocked,Test or Blocked.
When the setting of the DataObject Mod is changed at this level, all Logical Nodes inside the logical device update their own behavior according to IEC 61850-7-4. The supported values of the function block TESTMODE are described in Communication protocol manual, IEC 61850 Edition 2. When the function block TESTMODE is in test mode the Start LED on the LHMI is turned on with steady light.
The parameter Mod of any specific function block can be configured under Main menu/Test/ Function test modes/Communication /Station Communication
The parameter Mod can be set on the LHMI to the same values as for the DataObject Mod of the Root LD.LNN0 to On, Off, TestBlocked,Test or Blocked. For Example, Main menu/ Test/ Function test modes/ Differential protection/GeneratorDiff(87G,3Id/I>)/ GENPDIF(87G,3Id/I>):1.
It is possible that the behavior of the function block TESTMODE is also influenced by other sources as well, independent of the mode communicated via the IEC 61850-8-1 station bus. For example the insertion of the test handle into the test switch with its auxiliary contact is connected to a BI on the IED and further inside the configuration to the input IED_TEST on the function block TESTMODE. Another example is when loss of Service Values appears, or as explained above the setting via the LHMI.

When setting via PST or LHMI the parameterOperation of any function in an IED is set to Off, the function is not executed and the behavior (beh) is set toOff and it is not possible to override it. When a behavior of a function is Off the function will not execute. The related Mod keeps its current state.
When IEC 61850 Mod of a function is set to Off or Blocked, the Start LED on the LHMI will be set to flashing to indicate the abnormal operation of the IED.

The IEC 61850-7-4 gives a detailed overview over all aspects of the test mode and other states of mode and behavior. The status of a function block behavior Beh is shown on the LHMI under the Main menu /Test/Function status /Function group/Function block descriptive name/LN name/ Outputs .
· When the Beh of a function block is set to Test, the function block is not blocked and all control commands with a test bit are accepted.
· When the Beh of a function block is set to Test/blocked, all control commands with a test bit are accepted. Outputs to the process via a non-IEC 61850 link data are blocked by the function block. Only process-related outputs on function blocks related to primary equipment are blocked. If there is an XCBR function block used, the outputs EXC_Open and EXC_Close are blocked.
· When the Beh of a function block is set to Blocked, all control commands with a test bit are accepted. Outputs to the process via a non-IEC 61850 link data are blocked by the function block. In addition, the function block can be blocked when their Beh is blocked. This can be done if the function block has a block input.
The block status of a component is shown on the LHMI as the Blk output under the same path as for Beh: Main menu/Test/Function status/Function group /Function block descriptive name/LN name/Outputs. If the Blk output is not shown, the component cannot be blocked.

Setting guidelines

M15260-3 v7

Remember always that there are two possible ways to place the IED in the TestMode= On" state. If, the IED is set to normal operation (TestMode = Off), but the functions are still shown being in the test mode, the input signal IED_TEST on the TESTMODE function block is activated in the configuration.

Forcing of binary input and output signals is only possible when the IED is in IED test mode.

Use time synchronization to achieve a common time base for the IEDs in a protection and control system. This makes it possible to compare events and disturbance data between all IEDs in the system.

Time-tagging of internal events and disturbances are an excellent help when evaluating faults. Without time synchronization, only the events within one IED can be compared with each other. With time synchronization, events and disturbances within the whole network, can be compared and evaluated.

In the IED, the internal time can be synchronized from the following sources:

· BIN (Binary Minute Pulse) · DNP · IEC103 · SNTP · IRIG-B · SPA

· LON · PPS · IEEE 1588 (PTP)
For time synchronization of line differential protection with diff communication in GPS-mode, a GPSbased time synchronization is needed. This can be optical IRIG-B with 1344 from an external GPSclock.
Out of these, LON and SPA contains two types of synchronization messages:
· Coarse time messages are sent every minute and contain complete date and time, that is year, month, day, hour, minute, second and millisecond.
· Fine time messages are sent every second and comprise only seconds and milliseconds.
The selection of the time source is done via the corresponding setting.
If PTP is activated, the device with the best accuracy within the synchronizing group will be selected as the source. For more information about PTP, see the Technical manual.
IEEE 1588 (PTP)
PTP according to IEEE 1588-2008 and specifically its profile IEC/IEEE 61850-9-3 for power utility automation is a synchronization method that can be used to maintain a common time within a station. This time can be synchronized to the global time using, for instance, a GPS receiver. If PTP is enabled on the IEDs and the switches that connect the station are compatible with IEEE 1588, the station will become synchronized to one common time with an accuracy of under 1us. Using an IED as a boundary clock between several networks will keep 1us accuracy on three levels or when using an HSR, 15 IEDs can be connected in a ring without losing a single microsecond in accuracy.

Setting guidelines

IP15089-1 v3

All the parameters related to time are divided into two categories: System time and Synchronization.

Synchronization

M11348-143 v6

The setting parameters for the real-time clock with external time synchronization are set via local HMI or PCM600. The path for Time Synchronization parameters on local HMI is Main menu/ Configuration /Time/Synchronization . The parameters are categorized as Time Synchronization (TIMESYNCHGEN) and IRIG-B settings (IRIG-B:1) in case that IRIG-B is used as the external time synchronization source.

TimeSynch When the source of the time synchronization is selected on the local HMI, the parameter is called M11348-167 v19 TimeSynch. The time synchronization source can also be set from PCM600. The setting alternatives are:

FineSyncSource can have the following values:

· Off · SPA · LON · BIN (Binary Minute Pulse) · SNTP · IRIG-B · PPS

CoarseSyncSrc which can have the following values:
· Off · SPA · LON · DNP · IEC 60870-5-103
The function input to be used for minute-pulse synchronization is called BININPUT. For a description of the BININPUT settings, see the Technical Manual.
The system time can be set manually, either via the local HMI or via any of the communication ports. The time synchronization fine tunes the clock (seconds and milliseconds).
The parameter SyncMaster defines if the IED is a master, or not a master for time synchronization within a Substation Automation System, for IEDs connected in a communication network (IEC 61850-8-1). The SyncMaster can have the following values:
· Off · SNTP -Server
The IED supports SNTPv4 (RFC2030).

All protection functions will be blocked if the AppSynch parameter is set to Synch while there is no 9-2 synchronization source. For more information please refer to the "IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE communication protocol" section.

PTP can be set to On,Off or Slave only. When set to Slave only the IED is connected to the PTPgroup and will synchronize to the grandmaster but cannot function as the grandmaster.
A PTP-group is set up by connecting the IEDs to a network and enabling PTP. To set one IED as the grandmaster change Priority2 to 127 instead of the default 128.

The PTP VLAN tag must have the same value in station clock and in the IED. The default value is set to 0.

The PTP VLAN tag does not need to be the same on all access points in one IED. It is possible to mix as long as they are the same for all devices on each subnet.

When process bus communication (IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE protocol) is used, it is essential that the merging units are synchronized with the hardware time of the IED (see Technical manual, section Design of the time system (clock synchronization) ). To achieve this, PTP, PPS or IRIG-B can be used depending of the facilities of the merging unit.

If the merging unit supports PTP, use PTP. If PTP is used in the IED and the merging unit cannot be synchronized from the IED, then use GPS-based clocks to provide PTP synch as well as sync to the merging unit.
If synchronization of the IED and the merging unit is based on GPS, set the parameter SyncLostMode to BlockOnLostUTC in order to provide a block of protection functions whenever the global common time is lost.
If PTP is not used, use the same synchronization method for the HwSyncSrc as the merging unit provides. For instance, if the merging unit provides PPS as synchronization, use PPS as HwSyncSrc. If LDCM in GPS-mode is used, that is, the hardware and software clocks are connected to each other, HwSyncSrc is not used and other means to synchronize the merging unit to the IED is required. For instance, FineSyncSource is set to the same source that the merging unit uses.
If the IED is used together with a merging unit and no time synchronization is available, for example, in the laboratory test, the IED will synchronize to the SV data stream. During the re-synchronization, the protection functions will be blocked once a second for about 45 ms, and this will continue for up to 10 minutes. To avoid this, configure PTP (IEEE 1588) to On for the access point where the merging unit is configured.

When using differential communication in conjunction with sampled data received from merging units (MU) over the IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE process bus, the MU and the IED needs to be controlled by the same GPS synchronized clock. The required accuracy is +/- 4 µs. The accuracy can be achieved by using a GTM, GPS-based IRIG-B clock or PTP clock, and synchronizing MU from the same clock or from the PPS output of the GTM card. If, for instance, IRIG-B is used, the settings for time synchronization should be CourseSyncSrc = Off, FineSyncSource = IRIG-B, TimeAdjustRate = Fast. The setting for Encoding in SYNCHIRIG-B needs to be set to 1344.

Requirements

Section 22 Requirements

22.1
22.1.1

Current transformer requirements IP15171-1 v2
The performance of a protection function will depend on the quality of the measured current signal. M11609-3 v2 Saturation of the current transformers (CTs) will cause distortion of the current signals and can result in a failure to operate or cause unwanted operations of some functions. Consequently CT saturation can have an influence on both the dependability and the security of the protection. This protection IED has been designed to permit heavy CT saturation with maintained correct operation.
Current transformer basic classification and requirements M11611-3 v2
To guarantee correct operation, the current transformers (CTs) must be able to correctly reproduMc1e1611-4 v7 the current for a minimum time before the CT will begin to saturate. To fulfill the requirement on a specified time to saturation the CTs must fulfill the requirements of a minimum secondary e.m.f. that is specified below.
CTs are specified according to many different classes and standards. In principle, there are three different types of protection CTs. These types are related to the design of the iron core and the presence of airgaps. Airgaps affects the properties of the remanent flux.
The following three different types of protection CTs have been specified:
· The High Remanence type with closed iron core and no specified limit of the remanent flux · The Low Remanence type with small airgaps in the iron core and the remanent flux limit is
specified to be maximum 10% of the saturation flux · The Non Remanence type with big airgaps in the iron core and the remanent flux can be
neglected
Even though no limit of the remanent flux is specified in the IEC standard for closed core CTs, it is a common opinion that the remanent flux is normally limited to maximum 75 - 80 % of the saturation flux.
Since approximately year 2000 some CT manufactures have introduced new core materials that gradually have increased the possible maximum levels of remanent flux even up to 95 % related to the hysteresis curve. Corresponding level of actual remanent flux is 90 % of the saturation flux (sat). As the present CT standards have no limitation of the level of remanent flux, these CTs are also classified as for example, class TPX, P and PX according to IEC. The IEC TR 61869-100, Edition 1.0 2017-01, Instrument transformers ­ Guidance for application of current transformers in power system protection, is the first official document that highlighted this development. So far remanence factors of maximum 80% have been considered when CT requirements have been decided for Hitachi Energy IEDs. Even in the future this level of remanent flux probably will be the maximum level that will be considered when decided the CT requirements. If higher remanence levels should be considered, it should often lead to unrealistic CT sizes.
Thus, now there is a need to limit the acceptable level of remanent flux. To be able to guarantee the performance of protection IEDs, we need to introduce the following classification of CTs.
There are many different standards and a lot of classes but fundamentally there are four different types of CTs:
· Very High Remanence type CT · High Remanence type CT · Low Remanence type CT · Non Remanence type CT
The Very High Remanence (VHR) type is a CT with closed iron core (for example. protection classes TPX, P, PX according to IEC, class C, K according to ANSI/IEEE) and with an iron core

22.1.2

material (new material, typically new alloy based magnetic materials) that gives a remanent flux higher than 80 % of the saturation flux.
The High Remanence (HR) type is a CT with closed iron core (for example, protection classes TPX, P, PX according to IEC, class C, K according to ANSI/IEEE) but with an iron core material (traditional material) that gives a remanent flux that is limited to maximum 80 % of the saturation flux.
The Low Remanence (LR) type is a CT with small airgaps in the iron core (for example, TPY, PR, PXR according to IEC) and the remanent flux limit is specified to be maximum 10% of the saturation flux.
The Non Remanence (NR) type is a CT with big airgaps in the core (for example, TPZ according to IEC) and the remanent flux can be neglected.
It is also possible that different CT classes of HR and LR type may be mixed.
CT type VHR (using new material) should not be used for protection CT cores. This means that it is important to specify that the remanence factor must not exceed 80 % when ordering for example, class P, PX or TPX CTs. If CT manufacturers are using new core material and are not able to fulfill this requirement, the CTs shall be specified with small airgaps and therefore will be CTs of LR type (for example, class PR, TPY or PXR). Very high remanence level in a protection core CT can cause the following problems for protection IEDs:
1. Unwanted operation of differential (i.e. unit) protections for external faults 2. Unacceptably delayed or even missing operation of all types of protections (for example,
distance, differential, overcurrent, etc.) which can result in loosing protection selectivity in the network
No information is available about how frequent the use of the new iron core material is for protection CT cores, but it is known that some CT manufacturers are using the new material while other manufacturers continue to use the old traditional core material for protection CT cores. In a case where VHR type CTs have been already installed, the calculated values of Eal for HR type CTs, for which the formulas are given in this document, must be multiplied by factor two-and-a-half in order for VHR type CTs (i.e. with new material) to be used together with Hitachi Energy protection IEDs. However, this may result in unacceptably big CT cores, which can be difficult to manufacture and fit in available space.
Different standards and classes specify the saturation e.m.f. in different ways but it is possible to approximately compare values from different classes. The rated equivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. Eal according to the IEC 61869­2 standard is used to specify the CT requirements for the IED. The requirements are also specified according to other standards.
Conditions M11610-3 v1
The requirements are a result of investigations performed in our network simulator. The current M11610-4 v5 transformer models are representative for current transformers of high remanence and low remanence type. The results may not always be valid for non remanence type CTs (TPZ).
The performances of the protection functions have been checked in the range from symmetrical to fully asymmetrical fault currents. Primary time constants of at least 120 ms have been considered at the tests. The current requirements below are thus applicable both for symmetrical and asymmetrical fault currents.
Depending on the protection function phase-to-earth, phase-to-phase and three-phase faults have been tested for different relevant fault positions for example, close in forward and reverse faults, zone 1 reach faults, internal and external faults. The dependability and security of the protection was verified by checking for example, time delays, unwanted operations, directionality, overreach and stability.

Section 22 Requirements

22.1.3 22.1.4
22.1.5

The remanence in the current transformer core can cause unwanted operations or minor additional time delays for some protection functions. As unwanted operations are not acceptable at all maximum remanence has been considered for fault cases critical for the security, for example, faults in reverse direction and external faults. Because of the almost negligible risk of additional time delays and the non-existent risk of failure to operate the remanence have not been considered for the dependability cases. The requirements below are therefore fully valid for all normal applications.
It is difficult to give general recommendations for additional margins for remanence to avoid the minor risk of an additional time delay. They depend on the performance and economy requirements. When current transformers of low remanence type (for example, TPY, PR) are used, normally no additional margin is needed. For current transformers of high remanence type (for example, P, PX, TPX) the small probability of fully asymmetrical faults, together with high remanence in the same direction as the flux generated by the fault, has to be kept in mind at the decision of an additional margin. Fully asymmetrical fault current will be achieved when the fault occurs at approximately zero voltage (0°). Investigations have shown that 95% of the faults in the network will occur when the voltage is between 40° and 90°. In addition fully asymmetrical fault current will not exist in all phases at the same time.
Fault current M11613-3 v1
The current transformer requirements are based on the maximum fault current for faults in differeM1n16t13-4 v4 positions. Maximum fault current will occur for three-phase faults or single phase-to-earth faults. The current for a single phase-to-earth fault will exceed the current for a three-phase fault when the zero sequence impedance in the total fault loop is less than the positive sequence impedance.
When calculating the current transformer requirements, maximum fault current for the relevant fault position should be used and therefore both fault types have to be considered.
Secondary wire resistance and additional load M11614-3 v1
The voltage at the current transformer secondary terminals directly affects the current transformeM1r1614-4 v5 saturation. This voltage is developed in a loop containing the secondary wires and the burden of all relays in the circuit. For earth faults the loop includes the phase and neutral wire, normally twice the resistance of the single secondary wire. For three-phase faults the neutral current is zero and it is just necessary to consider the resistance up to the point where the phase wires are connected to the common neutral wire. The most common practice is to use four wires secondary cables so it normally is sufficient to consider just a single secondary wire for the three-phase case.
The conclusion is that the loop resistance, twice the resistance of the single secondary wire, must be used in the calculation for phase-to-earth faults and the phase resistance, the resistance of a single secondary wire, may normally be used in the calculation for three-phase faults.
As the burden can be considerable different for three-phase faults and phase-to-earth faults it is important to consider both cases. Even in a case where the phase-to-earth fault current is smaller than the three-phase fault current the phase-to-earth fault can be dimensioning for the CT depending on the higher burden.
In isolated or high impedance earthed systems the phase-to-earth fault is not the dimensioning case. Therefore, the resistance of the single secondary wire can always be used in the calculation for this kind of power systems.
General current transformer requirements M11615-3 v3
The current transformer ratio is mainly selected based on power system data for example, maximum load and/or maximum fault current. It should be verified that the current to the protection is higher than the minimum operating value for all faults that are to be detected with the selected CT ratio. It should also be verified that the maximum possible fault current is within the limits of the IED.

The current error of the current transformer can limit the possibility to use a very sensitive setting of a sensitive residual overcurrent protection. If a very sensitive setting of this function will be used it is recommended that the current transformer should have an accuracy class which have an current error at rated primary current that is less than ±1% (for example, 5P). If current transformers with less accuracy are used it is advisable to check the actual unwanted residual current during the commissioning.

Rated equivalent secondary e.m.f. requirements SEMOD53723-1 v1

All kinds of conventional magnetic core CTs are possible to use with the IEDs if they fulfill the M11623-4 v3 requirements corresponding to the above specified expressed as the rated equivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. Eal according to the IEC 61869-2 standard. From different standards and available data for relaying applications it is possible to approximately calculate a secondary e.m.f. of the CT comparable with Eal. By comparing this with the required rated equivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. Ealreq it is possible to judge if the CT fulfills the requirements. The requirements according to some other standards are specified below.

Current transformers according to IEC 61869-2, class P, PR

M11623-6 v4

A CT according to IEC 61869-2 is specified by the secondary limiting e.m.f. EALF. The value of the EALF is approximately equal to the corresponding Eal. Therefore, the CTs according to class P and PR must have a secondary limiting e.m.f. EALF that fulfills the following:

EALF  max Ealreq
EQUATION1383 V4 EN-US

(Equation 142)

22.1.7.2

Current transformers according to IEC 61869-2, class PX, PXR (and old IEC 60044-6, class TPS and old British Standard, class X)
M11623-14 v5
CTs according to these classes are specified approximately in the same way by a rated knee point e.m.f. Eknee (Ek for class PX and PXR, EkneeBS for class X and the limiting secondary voltage Ual for TPS). The value of the Eknee is lower than the corresponding Eal according to IEC 61869-2. It is not possible to give a general relation between the Eknee and the Eal but normally the Eknee is approximately 80 % of the Eal. Therefore, the CTs according to class PX, PXR, X and TPS must have a rated knee point e.m.f. Eknee that fulfills the following:

( ) Eknee » Ek » EkneeBS » Ual > 0.8 × maximum of Ealreq
EQUATION2100 V2 EN-US

(Equation 143)

22.1.7.3

Current transformers according to ANSI/IEEE

M11623-22 v6

Current transformers according to ANSI/IEEE are partly specified in different ways. A rated secondary terminal voltage UANSI is specified for a CT of class C. UANSI is the secondary terminal voltage the CT will deliver to a standard burden at 20 times rated secondary current without exceeding 10 % ratio correction. There are a number of standardized UANSI values for example, UANSI is 400 V for a C400 CT. A corresponding rated equivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. EalANSI can be estimated as follows:

EalANSI = 20 × Isr × R ct + UANSI = 20 × Isr × R ct + 20 × Isr × ZbANSI
EQUATION971 V2 EN-US

(Equation 144)

where: ZbANSI The impedance (that is, with a complex quantity) of the standard ANSI burden for the specific C class (W) U ANSI The secondary terminal voltage for the specific C class (V)

The CTs according to class C must have a calculated rated equivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. EalANSI that fulfils the following:

EalANSI > maximum of Ealreq
EQUATION1384 V2 EN-US

(Equation 145)

A CT according to ANSI/IEEE is also specified by the knee point voltage UkneeANSI that is graphically defined from an excitation curve. The knee point voltage UkneeANSI normally has a lower value than the knee-point e.m.f. according to IEC and BS. UkneeANSI can approximately be estimated to 75 % of the corresponding Eal according to IEC 61869-2. Therefore, the CTs according to ANSI/IEEE must have a knee point voltage UkneeANSI that fulfills the following:

VkneeANSI > 0.75 × (max imum of Ealreq )
EQUATION2101 V2 EN-US

(Equation 146)

22.2 22.3

Voltage transformer requirements M11608-3 v5
The performance of a protection function will depend on the quality of the measured input signal. Transients caused by capacitive voltage transformers (CVTs) can affect some protection functions.
Magnetic or capacitive voltage transformers can be used.
The capacitive voltage transformers (CVTs) should fulfill the requirements according to the IEC 61869-5 standard regarding ferro-resonance and transients. The ferro-resonance requirements of the CVTs are specified in chapter 6.502 of the standard.
The transient responses for three different standard transient response classes, T1, T2 and T3 are specified in chapter 6.503 of the standard. CVTs according to all classes can be used.
The protection IED has effective filters for these transients, which gives secure and correct operation with CVTs.

SNTP server requirements

GUID-588FCD12-C494-445E-8488-8287B34EFD9A v5

The SNTP server to be used is connected to the local network, that is not more than 4-5 switches or routers away from the IED. The SNTP server is dedicated for its task, or at least equipped with a real-time operating system, that is not a PC with SNTP server software. The SNTP server should be stable, that is, either synchronized from a stable source like GPS, or local without synchronization. Using a local SNTP server without synchronization as primary or secondary server in a redundant configuration is not recommended.

The IED supports SNTPv4 (RFC2030).

22.4

PTP requirements

GUID-741CC863-D760-49D6-85B2-AFECA222A8C3 v1

For PTP to perform properly, the Ethernet equipment that is used needs to be compliant with IEEE1588. The clocks used must follow the IEEE1588 standard BMC (Best Master Algorithm) and shall, for instance, not claim class 7 for a longer time than it can guarantee 1us absolute accuracy.

Sample specification of communication requirements

for the protection and control terminals in digital

telecommunication networks

GUID-0A9F36AF-3802-42FE-8970-4662798C19D1 v3

The communication requirements are based on echo timing.

Bit Error Rate (BER) according to ITU-T G.821, G.826 and G.828

· <10-6 according to the standard for data and voice transfer

Bit Error Rate (BER) for high availability of the differential protection

· <10-8-10-9 during normal operation · <10-6 during disturbed operation

During disturbed conditions, the trip security function can cope with high bit error rates up to 10-5 or even up to 10-4. The trip security can be configured to be independent of COMFAIL from the differential protection communication supervision, or blocked when COMFAIL is issued after receive error >100ms. (Default).

Synchronization in SDH systems with G.703 E1 or IEEE C37.94

The G.703 E1, 2 Mbit shall be set according to ITU-T G.803, G.810-13

· One master clock for the actual network · The actual port Synchronized to the SDH system clock at 2048 kbit · Synchronization; bit synchronized, synchronized mapping · Maximum clock deviation <±50 ppm nominal, <±100 ppm operational · Jitter and Wander according to ITU-T G.823 and G.825 · Buffer memory <250 s, <100 s asymmetric difference · Format.G 704 frame, structured etc.Format. · No CRC-check

Synchronization in PDH systems connected to SDH systems

· Independent synchronization, asynchronous mapping · The actual SDH port must be set to allow transmission of the master clock from the PDH-system
via the SDH-system in transparent mode. · Maximum clock deviation <±50 ppm nominal, <±100 ppm operational · Jitter and Wander according to ITU-T G.823 and G.825 · Buffer memory <100 s · Format: Transparent · Maximum channel delay · Loop time <40 ms continuous (2 x 20 ms)

IED with echo synchronization of differential clock (without GPS clock)

· Both channels must have the same route with maximum asymmetry of 0,2-0,5 ms, depending on set sensitivity of the differential protection.
· A fixed asymmetry can be compensated (setting of asymmetric delay in built in HMI or the parameter setting tool PST).

IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE Merging unit requirements SEMOD166590-11 v5
The merging units that supply the IED with measured values via the process bus must fulfill the IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE standard.
This part of the IEC 61850 is specifying "Communication Service Mapping (SCSM) ­ Sampled values over ISO/IEC 8802", in other words ­ sampled data over Ethernet. The 9-2 part of the IEC 61850

protocol uses also definitions from 7-2, "Basic communication structure for substation and feeder equipment ­ Abstract communication service interface (ACSI)". The set of functionality implemented in the IED (IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE) is a subset of the IEC 61850-9-2. For example the IED covers the client part of the standard, not the server part.
The standard does not define the sample rate for data, but in the UCA users group recommendations there are indicated sample rates that are adopted, by consensus, in the industry.
There are two sample rates defined: 80 samples/cycle (4000 samples/sec. at 50Hz or 4800 samples/ sec. at 60 Hz) for a merging unit "type1" and 256 samples/cycle for a merging unit "type2". The IED can receive data rates of 80 samples/cycle.
Note that the IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE standard does not specify the quality of the sampled values, only the transportation. Thus, the accuracy of the current and voltage inputs to the merging unit and the inaccuracy added by the merging unit must be coordinated with the requirement for actual type of protection function.
Factors influencing the accuracy of the sampled values from the merging unit are for example anti aliasing filters, frequency range, step response, truncating, A/D conversion inaccuracy, time tagging accuracy etc.
In principle the accuracy of the current and voltage transformers, together with the merging unit, shall have the same quality as direct input of currents and voltages.

A coordinated time scale, maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), which forms the basis of a coordinated dissemination of standard frequencies and time signals. UTC is derived from International Atomic Time (TAI) by the addition of a whole number of "leap seconds" to synchronize it with Universal Time 1 (UT1), thus allowing for the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit, the rotational axis tilt (23.5 degrees), but still showing the Earth's irregular rotation, on which UT1 is based. The Coordinated Universal Time is expressed using a 24-hour clock, and uses the Gregorian calendar. It is used for aeroplane and ship navigation, where it is also sometimes known by the military name, "Zulu time." "Zulu" in the phonetic alphabet stands for "Z", which stands for longitude zero.
