3.3 Commissioning Realization of Zero Sequence Current Tests Measuring Differen- tial and Restraint Currents 7UT612 Manual c53000-G1176-c14e-4 oa oa For this commissioning tests, the Zero sequence current must be at least 2 % of the rated relay current for each phase, ie. the test current at least 6 %. This test cannot replace visual inspection of the correct current transformer connec- tions. Therefore, the inspection according to Section 3.2.2 is a prerequisite. ‘Switch on test current. Read out the current magnitudes under Measurement > Secondary Values > Operational values, secondary and compare them with the real values: All phase currents of the tested side correspond to approximately "/5 of the test ccurrent ('/2 with single-phase transformers). Big of the tested side corresponds to the test current. Phase currents and zero sequence current of the other side are, on transformers, nearly 0, Current 17 correspond to the test current. Deviation can practically occur only for the current I because the phase currents had been tested already during the symmetrical tests. When deviations are in I Switch off the test source and the protected object (shut down the generator) and earth i. i Re-check the I7 connections and the test arrangement and correct them. i Repeat test and re-check the current magnitudes. ‘The differential and restraint currents are referred to the nominal currents of the pro- tected object.

Please observe the following 4 notes: 1. Checks are often done with operational currents or primary testing devices. Please take note of all wamings you can find in the sections and be aware of the fact that you will require a backup protection at the supplying point, 2. Checks have to be performed for every current path, beginning with the supplying feeder. 3. When using one device per phase, checks are to be performed for each phase. In the following you can find some more information on summation transformers. 4. However, each check is restricted on one current pair, .e. on the onetraversing testing current. Information on vector group matching and vectors (except the phase angle comparison of the traversing current = 180° at the sides tested) or similar is not relevant. Connection via If summation transformers are used, different connection possibilities exist. The fol- ‘Summation CTs lowing clarification are based on the normal connection mode L1-L3-E according to Figure 3-25. Figure 3-26 applies for connection L1-L2-L3. ‘Single-phase primary tests are to be preferred, since they evoke clearer differences in the measured currents. They also detect connecting errors in the earth current path The measured current to be read out in the operational measured values only corre- sponds to the testing current if three-phase symmetrical check is performed. In other 240 TUTG12 Manual ‘es2000-61176-C148-1 3.3 Commissioning 7UT612 Manual c53000-G1176-c14e-4 cases there are deviations which are listed in the figures as factor of the testing cur- rent.

The phase angles must be 180° in all cases. Check the differential and restraint currents. If single-phase primary checks cannot be carried out but only symmetrical operational currents are available, polarity or connecting errors in the earth current path with sum- mation transformer connection L1-L3~E according to Figure 3-25 will not be detected with the before-mentioned checks. In this case, asymmetry is to be achieved by sec- ‘ondary manipulation. ‘Therefore the current transformer of phase L2 is short-circuited. See Figure 3-27. 241 3 Installation and Commissioning A DANGER! All precautionary measures must be observed when working on the instrument transformers! Secondary connections of the current transformers must have been short-circuited before any current lead to the relay is interrupted! e Ly ly bs Figure 3-27 Unsymmetrcal test wth summation CT connection L1-L3-E The measured current is now 2.65 times the current of the symmetrical test. This test must be carried out for each summation CT. 3.3.9 Checking for Current Input Ig 242 Checks concerning the measured current input Ig extremely depend on how this measuring input is applied, By any means, the matching factor for the magnitude has to be checked (address 235, see also Subsection 2.1.2, margin heading “Current Transformer Data for Current In- put ls", page 27). Polarity check is not required since only the current magnitude is de- tected With high-impedance protection the current at lg corresponds to the fault current in the protected object. Polarity of all current transformers supplying the resistor, whose cur- rent is measured at Ig, must be uniform. Here, traversing currents are used as for dif- ferential protection checks. Each current transformer must be included into a meas- urement. The current at ly must not exceed, by no means, the half of the pickup value of the single-phase time overcurrent protection.

Any special function or logic added to the device must be checked, Naturally, general test procedures cannot be given. Rather, the configuration of these User defined functions and the necessary associated conditions must be known and verified. Of particular importance are possible interlocking conditions of the switch- gear (circuit breakers, isolators, etc.). They must be considered and tested. ity Check and Triggering Oscillographic Recordings ‘At the end of commissioning, an investigation of switching operations of the circuit breakers), under load conditions, should be done to assure the stability of the protec- tion system during the dynamic processes. Oscillographic recordings obtain the max- imum information about the behaviour of the 7UT612. ‘Along with the capability of recording waveform data during system faults, the 7UT612 also has the capability of capturing the same data when commands are given to the device via the service program DIGSI® 4, the serial interfaces, or a binary input. For the latter, the binary input must be assigned to the function ">Trig. lave. Cap." (FNo 00004). Triggering for the oscillographic recording then occurs when the input is energized. An oscillographic recording that is externally triggered (that is, without a protective el- ‘ement pickup or device trip) is processed by the device as a normal fault recording with the exception that data are not given in the fault messages (rip log). The exter- nally triggered record has a number for establishing a sequence. To trigger oscillographic recording with DIGSI® 4, click on Test in the left part of the window. Double click the entry Test Wave Formin the list in the right part of the win- dow to trigger the recording. See Figure 3-28. Areportis given in the bottom|eft region of the screen. In addltion, message segments concerning the progress of the procedure are displayed. ‘The SIGRA program or the Comtrade Viewer program is required to view and analyse the oscillographic data. Such test records are especially informative on power transformers when they are trig gered by the switch-on command of the transformer. Since the inrush current may have the same effect as a single-ended infeed but must not initiate tripping, the effec- tiveness of the inrush restraint is checked by energizing the power transformer several times, ‘The trip circuit should be interrupted or the differential protection should be switched toDIFF.

If necessary the inrush current restraint effect can be increased (smaller value of 2, HARMONIC, address, 1261) when trip occurs or when the recorded data show that the secand harmonic content does not safely exceed the restraining threshold (address 1261). A further ‘method to increase inrush stability is to set the crossblock function effective or to in- crease the duration of the crossblock function (address 12624 CROSSB. 2. HARI.

Ensure all pin connectors are properly inserted Caution! Do not use force! The permissible tightening torques must not be exceeded as the threads and terminal chambers may otherwise be damaged! 7UT612 Manual c53000-G1176-c14e-4 Verify that all service settings are correct. This is a crucial step because some setting ‘changes might have been made during commissioning. The protective settings under device configuration, input/output configuration are especially important as well as the power system data, and activated Groups A through D (if applicable) All desired ele- ments and functions must be set ON. See (Chapter 2). Keep a copy of all ofthe in-serv- ice settings on a PC. Check the internal clock of the device. If necessary, set the clock or synchronize the clock if't is not automatically synchronized. For assistance, refer to the system man- ual, ‘The annunciation memory buffers should be cleared, particularly the operational mes- ‘sages (event log) and fault messages (trip log). Future information will then only apply for actual system events and faults. To clear the buffers, press MAIN MENU — An- nunciation — Set /Reset. Refer to the system manual if further assistance is needed. The numbers in the switching statistics should be reset to the values that were existing prior to the testing, or to values in accordance with the user's practices. Set he statistics by pressing MAIN NENU —> Annunciation ~ Statistic. Press the E80 key, several times if necessary, to retum to the default display. Clear the LEDs on the front panel by pressing the 83 key. Any output relays that were picked up prior to clearing the LEDs are reset when the clearing action is performed, Future indications of the LEDs will then apply only for actual events or faults. Pressing the LED key also serves as a test for the LEDs because they should all light when the button is pushed. Any LEDs that are lit after the clearing attempt are displaying actual conditions. ‘The green “RUN” LED must be on. The red "ERROR" LED must not be lit. Close the protective switches. If test switches are available, then these must be in the ‘operating position. ‘The device is now ready for operation. 245 3 Installation and Commissioning 246 TUTG12 Manual ‘es2000-61176-C148-1 Technical Data 4 7UT612 Manual c53000-G1176-c14e-4 ‘This chapter provides the technical data of the SIPROTEC® 4 7UT612 device and is individual functions, including the limiting values that must not be exceeded under any circumstances.
