MiCOM P54x Series

Current Differential Protection
with Optional Subcycle
Distance
The MiCOM P543-P546 series provides high-speed
current differential unit protection. The P54x is designed
for all overhead line and cable applications, as it
interfaces readily with the longitudinal (end-end)
communications channel between line terminals.
The interface options support direct fiber optic, or
multiplexed digital links.
Tripping uses a proven characteristic comparing
differential current with through current, for ease of
testing. Phase differential elements of this type offer
consistent detection of solid and resistive faults, with
optimum faulted phase selection, tripping, and
indication.
A full range of back-up protection is integrated. This enhances
the dependability of the protection, as hot-standby elements
can be brought into service whenever a signalling channel
outage may occur. The new P54x evolution (from design suffix
K) adds subcycle distance elements, allowing use in differential
applications, distance, or both in parallel. One relay type thus
becomes the standard in all HV-EHV-UHV line protection
applications, duplicated where dual redundant main protection
is demanded. Spares holdings are reduced, with one universal
relay type used instead of two or more discrete models in the
past.

APPLICATION
The P543 - P546 range offers fast, highly selective
protection for use in line and cable feeder applications,
right up to the highest transmission voltages. All
models include differential main protection, with
distance protection as an ordering option. Choose the
P544 or P546 in breaker and a half applications, where
measurement of two sets of CT inputs offers better
stability, and allows circuit breaker fail protection to
identify the faulty breaker. Choose the P545 or P546
for extra logical I/O status.

The MiCOM P54x series is supplied with a full suite of

protection and control functions as standard. The
configuration column of the menu is used to control
which functions the user requires in the intended
application, and which may be disabled. Disabled
functions are completely removed from the menu, to
simplify setting. Current differential protection by its
nature requires few protection settings, and of those all
are generally left at the factory defaults. Distance
elements have a simple setting mode - an inbuilt
wizard, to avoid settings errors.

System Overview of the P54x Series
DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION
The P54x provides true, phase-segregated current
differential protection. The measurement algorithm is
extremely reliable, offering fast detection of internal faults,
and stability for external faults. The algorithm has a dual
slope percentage bias restraint, as shown in Figure 2. An
internal fault will generate differential current. The bias
current is that which merely flows through the protected
unit, as a load or through-fed external fault. The initial
slope (k1) ensures sensitivity to low current faults, whereas
the k2 slope is raised - to counter the effects of current
transformer saturation.
Plotting the trip characteristics in the differential plane
assists easy testing/commissioning, and to clearly
visualize the exact current sensitivity of the scheme.
The excellent performance for high resistance and weak
infeed faults is clear - unlike characteristics operating in
other planes, whereby their true sensitivity may be hidden
from view.

SYSTEM APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Differential protection requires the transfer of current

vectors between all ends of the scheme.
Figures 3a - 3d show common configurations.
Figure 3a shows an HV/EHV scheme whereby either a
direct fiber optic, or a multiplexed link may be used as
the chosen channel. Figure 3b shows the triangulated
connection typical in 3-terminal applications.
> Transformers
Figure 4 shows a protected line and transformer
"unit". In such applications the P543 or P545 are
chosen, as these models compensate for the vector
group shift and zero sequence filtering effects of the
in-zone transformer. Second harmonic restraint is
used to stabilize the protection against magnetizing
inrush currents.

Where transformer loads are tapped off the protected

line, it is not essential to install CTs at the tap.
There exists the facility to time grade the differential
protection with downstream relays or fuses.
The internal autoreclose function can be used to
implement fuse-saving schemes in the latter case,
improving supply availability.

Figure 3c shows a simple direct connection between
relays, using a fiber pair. Figure 3d shows a
multiplexed application, whereby a P54x can
connected directly via fiber optic to a IEEE C37.94TM
compliant multiplexer (MUX) or where a MiCOM P59x
interface unit performs the optical-electrical conversion
for the MUX. The advantage is that the cross-site
connections run in optical mode as far as possible,
eliminating the chance of noise interference, and any
isolation/touch potential problems.

Application to transformer feeders
> Breaker and a Half, Mesh or Ring Feeding

The MiCOM P544 and P546 offer two sets of CT
inputs, for connection as in Figure 5. This greatly
assists stability, as proper bias current will be
measured for through faults flowing bus-bus at one
line end. CT knee point voltage mismatch can thus
be tolerated, and the risks in finding the best
equipotential point for connection of CT secondaries
in parallel becomes a thing of the past. Importantly,
in the event of breaker failure, the relays are able to
identify the individual failed breaker. Should the line
be disconnected (line isolator open) whilst the
remaining stub-bus is live, the relay provides
differential protection for the stub zone.

> Long Line Applications

Capacitive charging current compensation allows the
relay to be set according to fault detection
requirements - with no compromise to account for
charging currents.
> Network Extensions

All P54x models offer application to two, and three
terminal lines. A two terminal scheme is easily
reconfigured if a new tee connection is added as a
third end.
The P54x compensates for line CT ratio mismatches,
even for 1A and 5A differences between line ends.
This facilitates easier retrofitting, and network
extensions.
> GPS Synchronized Differential

Figure 6 shows a typical SDH/SONET ring,
employing self-healing. In this topology, the
traditional propagation delay measurement
("ping-pong" technique) which relies on the assumption of equal transmit and receive path delays, cannot
be used. Real system experience has shown that
the difference between a transmit signal sent via the
direct path (MUX node B-C), and a receive via the
standby path (nodes C-D-E-F-A-B) can be in excess
of 5ms. Path differences typically summate based on
1.8ms per 100km, and 0.5ms insertion time per
node.
It would not be acceptable to desensitize the
protection to offset such a difference, therefore the
P54x offers a special optical input which accepts a
GPS clock pulse input. At all line ends, a MiCOM
P594 module is used to ensure that a common clock
reference is used for all timings. This allows the
relays to measure the real propagation delay in either
direction. Patented fallback techniques ensure
continuity of differential protection, even should GPS
outages be encountered.
PROTECTION COMMUNICATIONS
> Communication Interfacing
To ensure compatibility with standard communication
equipment, the MiCOM P54x series is designed to
work within the bandwidth of a 56/64 kbit/s pulse
code modulation (PCM) channel. A direct fiber optic
connection to a MUX can be done if the MUX is
IEEE C37.94TM compliant. Also electrical interfaces
conforming to ITU-T G.821 recommendations for
V.35, G.703, and X.21 are available via the P59x
series of interface units (see publication P59x Series
Interface Units). In direct fiber optic applications,
1300nm and 1550nm channel options are available.
The transmitters are designed with an "optical
budget" to support many kilometres of fiber losses.
> Communications Supervision

Dependable communications are essential for highperformance differential protection. Each active
longitudinal channel is independently monitored, and
reports error statistics in line with guidance from
ITU-T G.821.
Various means exist to implement "hot-standby"
protection in the event of degraded communications.
Dual redundant communications channels could be
considered, whereby there are duplicated links, via
diverse communications paths. In such instances,
CH1 and CH2 protection channels will both be used.
Alternatively, back-up distance or overcurrent
elements can be switched into service (either as
permanent parallel main protection, or temporary
protection only during channel outages).
> Retrospective Compatibility

New suffix K P54x relays have differential message
compatibility with previous P54x releases equal to
suffix B or later. Note that P541 and P542 models
have not been migrated to suffix K, but remain
available to order at their historical status.

DISTANCE PROTECTION (optional)

Five zones of protection are provided.
A superimposed current phase selector detects the
faulted phase(s) and, controls which of the distance
elements will initiate a trip. Combined with the
directional decision from a proven delta principle,
secure operation of distance zones is assured. The
relay allows mho and quadrilateral (polygon)
characteristics to be independently selected for the
phase and ground distance elements. The mho is
shown in Figure 7, and uses well-proven principles to
provide dynamic expansion for faults off the
characteristic angle.

> Distance Schemes

Pre-configured distance schemes allow single and

channel.
Trip on Close logic allows accelerated tripping

to be selected following manual, or auto-reclose.
Zone 4
Mho characteristics
The quadrilateral characteristics (Figure 8) provide

enhanced fault arc resistance coverage. An adaptive
technique is used to tilt the reactance reach line of
each zone and eliminate under/overreaching effects
due to prefault load flow.
Standard distance and DEF schemes may be

assigned to traditional hardwired I/O, or routed using
the InterMiCOM64 teleprotection. Direct transfer
tripping, permissive underreach (PUR), permissive
overreach (POR), and blocking schemes are
supported. Open breaker, weak infeed echo and
weak infeed trip features are menu options.
DIRECTIONAL EARTH FAULT (DEF)

The DEF element can be used within the aided
schemes to detect high resistance ground faults. The
innovative "Virtual Current Polarizing" feature even
ensures correct operation when the fault generates
negligible zero or negative sequence voltage.
Traditional relays would have required an extra CT
input to cover this scenario.

> Power Swing Blocking (PSB)

The MiCOM P54x recognizes power swings quickly,
by means of the superimposed currents measured by
the phase selector. The PSB does not require any
impedance band or timers to be set, and the distance
trip time for faults occurring during a power swing
remains subcycle.
Zone 3
(without offset)
Zone 2
Blinder characteristics (Figure 9) prevent false tripping

due to encroachment of heavy loads.
InterMiCOM64 TELEPROTECTION
InterMiCOM64 allows high performance permissive and
blocking type unit protection to be configured, plus
transfer of any digital status information between two
or three line ends. Intertripping is supported too, with
channel health monitoring and cyclic redundancy
checks (CRC) on the received data for maximum
message security. InterMiCOM64 provides eight endend signals, assignable to any function within a
MiCOM relay's programmable logic. Default failsafe
states can be set in case of channel outage.
In applications where differential and distance are
enabled together, any InterMiCOM64 signals for
distance protection are interleaved with the differential
signaling. No slow-down of differential tripping
performance occurs. If differential elements are
disabled, the distance teleprotection interface is
identical to the topologies shown in Figures 3 to 6.
In 3-terminal schemes, the communications are selfhealing if one leg of the triangulation fails.

BACKUP PROTECTION

protection are provided with a choice of standard
IEC and ANSI/IEEE IDMT curves, instantaneous,
and definite-time operation.
Negative sequence overcurrent, and SEF (0.5% In

sensitivity) are also available.
Phase under and overvoltage protection functions

are available in addition to residual overvoltage.
Broken conductor detects the percentage phase

unbalance due to an open phase condition.
A thermal replica provides alarm and trip stages, to

warn and protect in the event of prolonged circuit
overloading
Two stage, high speed circuit breaker failure protection, for backtripping upstream circuit breakers, and
re-tripping of the local circuit breaker if required
SUPERVISORY FUNCTIONS
Voltage transformer supervision is provided to detect
loss of one, two or three VT signals.
Current transformer supervision is provided to detect
loss of phase CT input signals. Using the differential
CTS feature (patent pending), the relay performs an
intelligent comparison of the negative sequence
current imbalance at line ends, to determine which, if
any, CTs have failed. This comparison detects all CT
shorts, open circuits, and wiring disconnections without
an inherent time delay. Operation of the differential
protection can be blocked during the failure, or
alternatively temporarily desensitized to avoid an
unwanted trip. The CTS assures real-time stability of
the differential elements, in just the same manner as
the VTS assures distance element security.
CONTROL
> User interface
Integrated user function keys and tri-color
programmable LEDs provide a cost-effective solution
for full feeder scheme applications. The ten function
keys operate in two modes, normal and toggled, with
an associated LED for clear indication of the logic
status. Typical control, maintenance, and
commissioning options are initiated directly from
simple key presses, rather than the need to navigate
a menu.
All your main and backup protection

in one device:
Differential, distance or both,
to minimize training needs
and spares holding.
> Autoreclose with check synchronism

(P543 and P545)
> Programmable scheme logic
Powerful graphical logic allows the user to customize
the protection and control functions. The gate logic
includes OR, AND and majority gate functions, with the
ability to invert the inputs and outputs, and provide
feedback. The system is optimized to ensure that the
protection outputs are not delayed by the PSL
operation. The programmable scheme logic is
configured using the graphical MiCOM S1 PC software,
as shown in Figure 10. The relay outputs may be
configured as latching (eg "Lockout") or self-reset.
