The KVFG protection relays brings numerical technology to the successful Midos
range of protection relays. Fully compatible with the existing designs and sharing
the same modular housing concept, the relays offer more comprehensive protection
for demanding applications.
The KVFG relays provide voltage and frequency protection for power distribution
systems, industrial power systems and all other applications where voltage or
frequency protection is required. All voltage elements are selectable to operate for
either under or overvoltage conditions, and can be selected to only operate for
three phase conditions, or more normally for any one phase. Phase segregated
outputs are available to provide comprehensive indications to the user.
Neutral voltage displacement (residual overvoltage) protection is also provided
and can either use a calculated or measured value (depending upon relay model
and application). All frequency elements are selectable to operate for either under
or over frequency conditions.
Integral features in KVFG relays include negative phase sequence overvoltage,
undervoltage blocking, load shedding capabilities and two alternative groups of
predetermined settings. The relays also have integral serial communication facilities
via K-Bus.

Section 4. UNPACKING
Care must be taken when unpacking and installing the relays so that none of the
parts is damaged or the settings altered. Relays must only be handled by skilled
persons. The installation should be clean, dry and reasonably free from dust and
excessive vibration. The site should be well lit to facilitate inspection. Relays that
have been removed from their cases should not be left in situations where they are
exposed to dust or damp. This particularly applies to installations which are being
carried out at the same time as construction work.

Section 5. STORAGE
If relays are not to be installed immediately upon receipt they should be stored in a
place free from dust and moisture in their original cartons. Where de-humidifier
bags have been included in the packing they should be retained. The action of the
de-humidifier crystals will be impaired if the bag has been exposed to ambient
conditions and may be restored by gently heating the bag for about an hour, prior
to replacing it in the carton.
Dust which collects on a carton may, on subsequent unpacking, find its way into
the relay; in damp conditions the carton and packing may become impregnated
with moisture and the de-humifier will lose its efficiency.
Storage temperature 25C to +70C.

SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 3
Page 1 of 30
The KVFG 122 and KVFG 142 relays use numerical techniques to derive
protection and control functions. The KVFG 142 has four multiplexed analogue
inputs whilst the KVFG 122 has two, each is sampled eight times per power
frequency cycle. The Fourier derived power frequency component returns the rms
value of the measured quantity. To ensure optimum performance, frequency
tracking is used. The channel that is tracked is chosen on a priority basis, Va, Vb,
Vc. Frequency tracking is not employed on the residual voltage to ensure maximum
harmonic rejection. In the absence of a signal to frequency track, the sampling
frequency defaults to the rated frequency of the power system.
The KVFG 142 has eight output relays and eight logic inputs, the KVFG 122 has
four relay outputs and three logic inputs. Each output relay can be programmed to
respond to any of the protection or control functions, logic inputs can be allocated
to initiate control functions. The logic inputs are filtered to ensure that induced ac
current in the external wiring to these inputs does not cause an incorrect response.
Software links further enable the user to customise the product for their own
particular applications. They select/interconnect the various protection and control
elements and replace the interconnections that were previously used between the
cases of relays that provided discrete protection or control functions.
The relays are powered from either a dc or an ac auxiliary supply which is
transformed by a wide ranging dc/dc converter within the relay. This provides the
electronic circuits with regulated and galvanically isolated supply rails.
The power supply also provides a regulated and isolated field voltage to energise
the logic inputs.
An interface on the front of the relay allows the user to navigate through the menu
to access data, change settings and reset flags, etc. As an alternative the relays
can be connected to a computer via their serial communication ports and the menu
accessed on-line. This provides a more friendly and intuitive method of setting the
relay, as it allows a whole column of data to be displayed at one time instead of
just a single menu cell. Computer programs are also available that enable setting
files to be generated off-line and these files can then be downloaded to the relay
via the serial port.
In addition to protection and control functions the relays can display all the values
that it measures and many additional ones that it calculates. They also store useful
time stamped data for post fault analysis in fault records, event records and
disturbance records. This data is available via a serial communication port for
access locally and/or remotely with a computer. The fault records, event records
and disturbance records can be extracted automatically via the serial port and
values can be polled periodically to determine trends. Remote control actions can
also be made and to this end many K Range relays have been integrated into
SCADA systems.
K Range relays provide the user with the flexibility to customise the relay for their
particular applications. They provide many additional features that would be
expensive to produce on an individual basis and, when the low installation costs
are taken into account, it will be seen to provide an economic solution for
protection and control.

The front plate of the relay provides a man machine interface providing the user
with a means of entering settings to the relay displaying measured values, fault
records and alarms. The series 2 relays have additional graphics to assist the user.
The area in which the fault flags are displayed is divided up to denote the area
associated with each tripping function.

The frontplate of the relay carries a liquid crystal display (LCD) on which data such
as settings and measured values can be viewed. The data is accessed through a
menu system. The four keys [F]; [+]; [] and [0] are used to move around the menu,
select the data to be accessed and enter settings. Three light emitting diodes (LEDs)
indicate alarm, healthy and trip conditions.
A label at the top corner identifies the relay by both its model number and serial
number. This information uniquely specifies the product and is required when
making any enquiry to the factory about a particular relay. In addition there is a
rating label in the bottom corner which gives details of the auxiliary voltage and
reference voltage. Two handles, one at the top and one at the bottom of the
frontplate, will assist in removing the module from the case.

As an example, consider the four character locations below the area marked
|Va/Vab|. If a trip condition occurs involving phase A. Then one or more
characters will be displayed. These characters can have one of four values, 1,
2, 3 or 4. Each digit flags the protection stage that has operated. It should be
noted that each stage is independent of each other eg., stage 4 is not required to
have a greater setting than stage 1.
Flag information is similarly provided for the other five tripping functions, Vb/Vbc,
V2, Frequency, Vc/Vca and Vo. It should be noted that not all tripping functions
are allocated four stages, V2 and Vo has two and three, respectively.
Three auxiliary timers are available AUX1, AUX2 and AUX3. The operation of one
or more of the timers is denoted by the digits displayed in the three character
locations above the area marked |AUX|.
The final area of the fault display is utilised to indicate the remote trip operation of
a circuit breaker. The characters RT appear in the lower left most area of the
display when a remote trip has been generated.

Data within the relays is accessed via a menu table. The table is comprised of cells
arranged in rows and columns, like a spreadsheet. A cell may contain text values
limits or functions. The first cell in a column, the column heading, contains text
identifying the data grouped under it in that column.
3.1 Default display
The selected default display will normally show on the LCD and a momentary press
of the function key [F] will change the display to the heading for the first column,
SYSTEM DATA. Further momentary presses of the [F] key will step down the
column, row by row, so that data may be read. If at any time the [F] key is pressed
and held for one second the cursor will be moved to the top of the next column
and the heading for that column will be displayed. Further momentary presses of
the [F] key will then move down the new column, row by row.
Pressing the [F] and [0] keys together and holding for one second can be used to
step back up the menu column. A short press of the [0] key will switch on the back
light for the LCD without changing the display in any way. In this way the full menu
may be scanned with just the [F] and [0] keys that are accessible with the relay
cover in place, and reset actions can be effected.
Following a protection trip the red trip LED will be lit. The display will change
automatically from the default display to that of the fault flags for the last fault.
Whilst the fault flags are displayed the trip LED can be reset by holding down the
[0] for at least one second. The trip LED will be reset and the display will change to
the default display that was last selected. The flag information will not be lost by
this action, it can still be accessed under FAULT RECORDS.
The display will not default to the flag information if the user interface is in use at
the time. The default display will return 15 minutes after the last key press, or it can
be selected more quickly by moving to any column heading and then pressing the
[0] key for 1 second. The selected default display will appear unless there has
been a fault when the fault flags will be displayed. It is possible to step through the
available default displays by momentary presses of the reset key [0].
3.2 Accessing the menu
The only settings which can be changed with the cover in place are those that can
be reset either to zero or some preset value. To change any other settings the cover
must be removed from the relay to gain access to the [+] and [] keys that are used
to increment or decrement a value. When a column heading is displayed the []
key will change the display to the next column and the [+] key will change the
display to the previous column, giving a faster selection.
When a cell that can be changed is displayed the action of pressing either the [+]
or [] keys will put the relay in setting mode (indicated by a flashing cursor in the
display). To escape from the setting mode without making any change the [0] key
should be depressed for one second. Section 4 gives instructions for changing the
various types of settings.
Password protection is provided for the configuration settings of the relay because
an accidental change could seriously affect the ability of the relay to perform its
intended functions. Configuration settings include the selection of time curves,
function links, VT ratios, opto-input and relay output allocation. Individual
protection settings are protected from change when the relay cover is in place.

Settings and text in certain cells of the menu can be changed via the user interface.
To do this the cover must be removed from the front of the relay so that the [+] and
[] keys can be accessed.
4.1 Quick guide to menu controls
Quick guide to menu control with the four keys
The actions shown in the shaded area can only be performed when the cover is removed.
[F] long means press F key and hold for longer than 1s
[F] short means press F key and hold for less than 1s
[F] means press the F key length of time does not change the response
Press the [] key if you want to further modify the data before entry.
Press the [+] key to accept the change. This will terminate the setting mode.
4.5 Password protection
Password protection is provided for the configuration settings of the relay.
This includes time characteristic selection, VT ratios, function links, input masks and
relay masks. Any accidental change to configuration could seriously affect the
ability of the relay to perform its intended functions, whereas, a setting error may
only cause a grading problem. Individual settings are protected from change when
the relay cover is in place by preventing direct access to the [+] and [] keys.
The password consists of four characters that may contain any upper case letter
from the alphabet. The password is initially set in the factory to AAAA, but it can
be changed by the user to another combination if necessary. If the password is lost
or forgotten, access to the relay will be denied. However, if the manufacturer or
their agent is supplied with the serial number of the relay, a back-up password can
be supplied that is unique to that particular product.
4.6 Entering passwords
Using the [F] key, select the password cell [0002] in the SYSTEM DATA column of
the menu. The word Password is displayed and four stars. Press the [+] key and
the cursor will appear under the left hand star. Now use the [+] key to step through
the alphabet until the required letter is displayed. The display will increment faster
if the key is held down and the [] key can be used in a similar way to move
backwards through the alphabet. When the desired character has been set the [F]
key can be given a momentary press to move the cursor to the position for the next
character. The process is then repeated to enter the remaining characters that
make up the password. When the fourth character is acknowledged by a
momentary press of the [F] key the display will read:
Are you sure?
+ = YES = NO
Press the [0] key if you decide not to enter the password.
Press the [] key if you want to modify the entry.
Press the [+] to enter the password.
The display will then show four stars and if the password was accepted the alarm
LED will flash. If the alarm LED is not flashing the password was not accepted a
further attempt can be made to enter it, or the [F] key pressed to move to the next
cell.
Note: When the password cell is displayed, do not press the [+] or [] key whilst
the alarm LED is flashing unless you want to change the password!
4.7 Changing passwords
When the password has been entered and the alarm LED is flashing the [+] key is
pressed to put the relay in setting mode. A new password can now be entered as
described in Section 4.6. After entering the fourth character make a note of the
new password shown on the display before pressing the [F] key to obtain the
confirmation display.
Are you sure?
+ = YES = NO
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 3
Page 24 of 30
Press the [0] key if you decide not to enter the new password.
Press the [] key if you want to modify your entry.
Press the [+] to enter the new password (which will then replace the old one).
Note: Make sure the new password has been written down before it is entered
and that the password being entered agrees with the written copy before
accepting it. If the new password is not entered correctly you may be
denied access in the future. If the password is lost a backup password
unique to that relay can be provided from the factory, or certain agents, if
the serial number of the product is quoted.
4.8 Restoration of password protection
Password protection is reinstated when the alarm LED stops flashing. This will occur
fifteen minutes after the last key press. To restore the password protection without
waiting for the fifteen minute time-out, select the password cell or any column
heading and hold the reset key [0] depressed for 1s. The alarm LED will cease to
flash to indicate the password protection is restored.
4.9 Entering text
Enter the setting mode as described in Section 4.2 and move the cursor with the [F]
key to where the text is to be entered or changed. Then using the [+] and [] keys,
select the character to be displayed. The [F] key may then be used to move the
cursor to the position of the next character and so on. Follow the instructions in
Section 4.4 to exit from the setting change.
4.10 Changing function links
Select the column heading required and step down to the function links SD Links,
ND Links, VF Links, FF Links, NS Links or LOG links and press either the
[+] or [] key to put the relay in a setting change mode. A cursor will flash on the
bottom line at the extreme left position. This is link F; as indicated by the
character printed on the frontplate under the display.
Press the [F] key to step along the row of links, one link at a time, until some text
appears on the top line that describes the function of a link. The [+] key will
change the link to a 1 to select the function and the [] key will change it to a
0 to deselect it. Follow the instructions in Section 4.4 to accept the setting
change.
Not all links can be set, some being factory selected and locked. The links that are
locked in this way are usually those for functions that are not supported by a
particular relay, when they will be set to 0. Merely moving the cursor past a link
position does not change it in any way.
4.11 Changing setting values
Move through the menu until the cell that is to be edited is displayed. Press the [+]
or [] key to put the relay into the setting change mode. A cursor will flash in the
extreme left hand position on the bottom line of the display to indicate that the
relay is ready to have the setting changed. The value will be incremented in single
steps by each momentary press of the [+] key, or if the [+] key is held down the
value will be incremented with increasing rapidity until the key is released.
Similarly the [] key can be used to decrement the value. Follow the instructions in
Section 4.4 to exit from the setting change.

Notes: The KVFG 122 does not utilise the following terminals, voltage inputs 17 &
18, relay outputs RL4 to RL7 and opto isolated inputs L3 to L7. The voltage
terminals 19 & 20 may be configured to measure phph or phn voltages
and case terminals 21 & 22 can be used for either phph or residual
voltage measurement.
All relays have standard Midos terminal blocks to which connections can be
made with either 4mm screws or 4.8mm pre-insulated snap-on connectors.
Two connections can be made to each terminal.
5.1 Auxiliary supply
The auxiliary voltage may be dc or ac provided it is within the limiting voltages for
the particular relay. The voltage range will be found on the frontplate of the relay;
it is marked (Vx = (24V 125V) or (48V 250V). An ideal supply to use for
testing the relays will be 50V dc or 110V ac because these values fall within both
of the auxiliary voltage ranges.
The supply should be connected to terminals 13 and 14 only. To avoid any
confusion it is recommended that the polarity of any applied voltage is kept to the
Midos standard:
for dc supplies the positive lead connected to terminal 13 and the negative to
terminal 14
for ac supplies the live lead is connected to terminal 13 and the neutral lead to
terminal 14.
5.2 Logic control inputs
There are a number of logic control inputs to the relay that are optically coupled to
provide galvanic isolation between the external and internal circuits. They are
rated at 48V and the power supply within the relay provides an isolated field
voltage to energise them. This arrangement keeps the power consumption of these
inputs to a minimum and ensures that they always have a supply to energise them
when the relay is operational.
Software filtering is applied to prevent induced ac signals in the external wiring
causing operation of logic inputs. This is achieved by sampling the logic inputs
eight times per cycle and five consecutive samples have to indicate that the input is
energised in a positive sense before it is accepted. This ensures that the inputs are
relatively immune to spurious operation from induced ac signals in the wiring.
The capture times are:
12 2.5ms at 50Hz and 10.4 2.1ms at 60Hz
Note: These inputs will not capture a fleeting contact unless it dwells in the closed
state for a time exceeding the above values.
The opto-isolated logic control inputs are divided into two groups. Three (L0, L1,
L2) have their common connection on terminal 52 and the remainder (L3, L4, L5,
L6, L7) have their common connection on terminal 55. When they are to be
energised from the field voltage then terminals 52 and 55 must be connected to
terminal 8, the negative of the field voltage. The logic inputs can then be energised
by connecting a volt free contact between the positive of the field voltage, terminal
7, and the terminal for the appropriate logic input.
The circuit for each opto-isolated input contains a blocking diode to protect it from
any damage that may result from the application of voltage with incorrect polarity.
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 3
Page 29 of 30
Where the opto-isolated input of more than one relay is to be controlled by the
same contact it will be necessary to connect terminal 7 of each relay together to
form a common line. In the example circuit below, contact X operates L1 of relay 1
and contact Y operates L0 of relay 1 as well as L0 and L1 of relay 2. There are no
connections made to L2 as it is not used on either relay.

The logic inputs can be separated into two isolated groups when it is necessary to
energise some from the station battery. The logic inputs are rated at 48V and it will
be necessary to connect an external resistor in series with the input if the battery is
of higher rated voltage. The value of this resistor should be 2.4k for every
additional 10V.
The field voltage is not earthed and has insulation rated for 2kV for 1 minute.
5.3 Analogue inputs
The relays have either four (KVFG 142) or two (KVFG 122) analogue inputs
depending on the model. All inputs are routed to the microprocessor board.
Each is fed via an input transducer (VT), a low pass filter and a three range scaling
amplifier. This amplifier has automatic gain control which automatically adjusts in
accordance with the input signal amplitude. The amplifier gain increases as the
input signal amplitude reduces to provide optimum measurement resolution and a
large dynamic range. The analogue signals are sampled eight times per cycle on
each channel as the sampling rate tracks the frequency of the input signal.
5.4 Output relays
Four programmable output relays are provided on the KVFG 122 relay and eight
on the KVFG 142. They can be arranged to operate in response to any or all of
the available functions by suitably setting the output masks. The protection and
control functions to which these relays respond are selectable via the menu system
of the relay.
In addition there is a watchdog relay which has one make and one break contact.
Thus it can indicate both healthy and failed conditions. As these contacts are
mainly used for alarm purposes they have a lower rating than the programmable
outputs. The terminal numbers for the output relay contacts are given in the table at
the start of Section 5.

A full list of the alarm flags will be found in Section 3.5 and is located in cell 0022
of the SYSTEM DATA column of the menu. They consist of eight characters that may
be either 1 or 0 to indicate the set and reset states respectively.
The control keys perform for this menu cell in the same way as they do for function
links. The cell is selected with the function key [F] and the relay then put in the
setting mode by pressing the [+] key to display the cursor. The cursor will then be
stepped through the alarm word from left to right with each press of the [F] key
and text identifying the alarm bit selected will be displayed.
The only alarm flag that can be manually set is the bit 6, the watchdog test flag.
When this flag is set to 1 the watchdog relay will change state and the green
LED will extinguish.
When any alarm flag is set the alarm LED will be continuously lit. However, there is
another form of alarm condition that will cause the alarm LED to flash and this
indicates that the password has been entered to allow access to change protected
settings within the relay. This is not generally available as a remote alarm and it
does not generate an alarm flag.
Note: No control will be possible via the key pad if the unconfigured alarm is
raised because the relay will be locked in a non-operate state.

Section 1 CONFIGURATION
The settings that customise the relay for a particular application are referred to as
the configuration. They include the function links, input masks, relay masks, etc.
and are password protected to prevent them being changed accidentally. Together
these settings select the functions that are to be made available and how they are
to be interconnected.
Before the advent of integrated numerical relays, protection and control schemes
comprised individual relays that had to be interconnected and a diagram was
produced to show these interconnections. The configuration of a numerical relay is
the software equivalent of these interconnections. With the software approach,
installations can be completed in much shorter times, especially for repeat
schemes, saving valuable time and cost. A second advantage is the ability to make
some changes without having to disturb the external wiring.
Before the connection diagrams can be drawn for an installation, it will be
necessary to decide how the logic within the relay is to function. A copy of the
logic diagram will be found at the back of this manual. It should be copied and the
appropriate squares in the input and relays masks should be shaded in to show
which logic inputs and output relays are to be assigned in each mask. The function
links should then be drawn on the diagram in position 0 or 1 as required.
These software links may turn functions on, or off, and when in the off state some
unnecessary settings may not appear in the menu. As supplied the fourth under/
overvoltage stage is turned off and its associated settings 4V/4V Char/4tV/
4V(tms) will not appear in the menu. The function link settings can now be read off
the logic diagram and entered as a series of ones and zeros, in the boxes
provided on the logic diagram.
Case connection diagrams will be found at the back of this manual for the current
models of K Range voltage and frequency relays. They may be copied and notes
added in the appropriate boxes to indicate the function of the logic inputs and
relay outputs. This diagram will then give the appropriate terminal numbers to
which the external wires must be connected. In particular, it will show the terminal
numbers to which the voltage transformer connections are to be made.
Enough information is available from the logic and case connection diagrams to
enable the full external wiring diagrams to be drawn and the operation of
complete protection and control scheme to be understood.
1.1 Configuring the relay
Each scheme of protection and control will have its own particular configuration
settings. These can be named appropriately and the name entered as the
description in cell 0004 in the system data column of the menu. If the scheme is
likely to become a standard that is to be applied to several installations it would be
worthwhile storing the configuration on a floppy disc so that it can be downloaded
to other relays.
The configuration file can be made even more useful by adding appropriate
general settings for the protection and control functions. It will then only require the
minimum of settings to be changed during commissioning of the installation.
1.2 Default configuration
The relays are provided with a basic configuration and typical settings to suit a
basic application. The basic configuration provides:
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 4
Page 2 of 25
Now move down the system data column to cell [0009 Freq] and set the frequency
to 50Hz or 60Hz as appropriate. This is an important setting because it will be the
default frequency used by the analogue/digital converter when appropriate
signals are not available for frequency tracking.
If the address of the relay on the serial communication bus is known then it can be
entered at this time. This cell is password protected.
This concludes the settings that can be entered in this menu column at this time.
2.2 Neutral displacement links (ND)
Select the column NEUT DISP (1) and ND links. Press the [+] key to put the relay
into setting mode and set the links to 1 that enable the required options available
via links ND0 to ND3.
ND 0 1Vo 1 = enable neutral voltage displacement stage 1
ND 1 2Vo 1 = enable neutral voltage displacement stage 2
ND 2 3Vo 1 = enable neutral voltage displacement stage 3
ND 3 Vo Calc 1 = enable Vo calculation and ignore Vo input
(KVFG 142 only)
If the KVFG 122 is being used, with system data link SDA set to 0, this selects
phase to phase voltage measurement mode. As such the neutral voltage
displacement protection will not be available.
Setting ND3 refers to the KVFG 142 only. On this relay, it is possible to measure
the three phase to ground voltages, and hence a calculation of the residual voltage
can be made. However, it should be considered that this calculated value will
generally be less accurate than the measured value. Refer to Section 3.2.
When the selection has been completed continue to press the [F] key until the
confirmation display appears and then confirm the selection.
Next enter the time delay characteristics for the enabled elements.
Enter, or copy, the same settings into the NEUT DISP (2) column if it is active. It is
not essential that the links are set the same in both setting groups. For example the
3Vo element could be made available in group one and not in group two settings.
Note: It would be wise to ensure the logic is such that an element that is to be
switched out in the alternative setting group is reset before the alternative
setting group is selected, or alternatively make a physical test to ensure
there are no latch-up problems.
A different time characteristic can be selected for each element in the second
setting group, but it is not advisable to select inverse in one group and definite time
in the other if it is intended to dynamically switch between setting groups.
If different characteristics are selected then the same register will be used for both.
These registers are not reset to zero when the setting group is changed unless the
voltage falls below the set threshold.
2.3 Under/overvoltage links (VF)
Select the VF links under the UV/OV 1 menu column heading and put the relay
into setting mode by pressing the [+] key. Step through the function links with the
[F] key and set the links for the options required.
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B

Enter, or copy, the same settings into the NEG SEQ 2 column if it is active. It is not
essential that the links are set the same in both setting groups. For example the
2V2 element could be made available in group one and not in group two settings.
Note: It would be wise to ensure the logic is such that an element that is to be
switched out in the alternative setting group is reset before the alternative
setting group is selected, or alternatively make a physical test to ensure

setting group, but it is not advisable to select inverse in one group and definite time
in the other if it is intended to dynamically switch between setting groups.
If different characteristics are selected then the same register will be used for both.
These registers are not reset to zero when the setting group is changed unless the
voltage falls below the set threshold.
2.6 Logic links (LOG)
The logic links under the LOGIC menu column heading customise the auxiliary
functions of the relay. Put the relay into setting mode by pressing the [+] key.
Step through the function links with the [F] key and set the links for the options
required.
LOG 0 Not used
LOG 1 Not used
LOG 2 Not used
LOG 3 Aux2 = DPU 1 = enable tAUX2 as a delay on pick-up timer
0 = enable tAUX2 as a delay on drop-off timer
LOG 4 Not used
LOG 5 Aux3 = DPU 1 = enable tAUX3 as a delay on pick-up timer
0 = enable tAUX3 as a delay on drop-off timer
LOG 6 Rly 7 Flags 1 = enable RL7 to latch flags, generate fault records
and CB maintenance data
LOG 7 CB Rec 1 = enable CB operations register to be incremented
When the selection has been completed continue to press the [F] key until the
confirmation display appears and confirm the selection.
Set the circuit breaker close and trip pulse time delays tCLOSE and tTRIP.
Select the default display that appears on start-up.

3.1 Application
On a healthy three phase power system, the addition of each of the three phase to
earth voltages is nominally zero, as it is the vector addition of three balanced
vectors at 120 to one another. However, when an earth fault occurs on the
primary system this balance is upset and a residual voltage is produced.
This could be measured, for example, at the secondary terminals of a voltage
transformer having a broken delta secondary connection. Hence, a residual
voltage measuring relay can be used to offer earth fault protection on such a
system. Note that this condition causes a rise in the neutral voltage with respect to
earth which is commonly referred to as neutral voltage displacement or NVD.
Figures 1a and 1b show the residual voltages that are produced during earth fault
conditions occurring on a solid and impedance earthed power system
respectively:-

As can be seen in Fig. 1a, the residual voltage measured by a relay for an earth
fault on a solidly earthed system is solely dependent upon the ratio of source
impedance behind the relay to line impedance in front of the relay, up to the point
of fault. For a remote fault, the Zs/Zl ratio will be small, resulting in a
correspondingly small residual voltage. As such, depending upon the relay setting,
such a relay would only operate for faults up to a certain distance along the
system. The value of residual voltage generated for an earth fault condition is
given by the general formula shown in Figure 1a.
Figure 1b shows that a resistance earthed system will always generate a relatively
large degree of residual voltage, as the zero sequence source impedance now
includes the earthing impedance. It follows then, that the residual voltage
generated by an earth fault on an insulated system will be the highest possible
value (3 x phase-neutral voltage), as the zero sequence source impedance is
infinite.
From the previous information it can be seen that the detection of a residual
overvoltage condition is an alternative means of earth fault detection, which does
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 4
Page 9 of 25
Multiple stages are included for the NVD protection to account for applications
which require both alarm and trip stages; for example, an insulated system. It is
common in such a case for the system to have been designed to withstand the
associated healthy phase overvoltages for a number of hours following an earth
fault. In such applications, an alarm is generated soon after the condition is
detected, which serves to indicate the presence of an earth fault on the system.
This gives time for system operators to locate and isolate the fault. Subsequent
stages of the protection can issue a trip signal if the fault condition persists.
The KVFG relays each have a separate voltage input for measurement of the
residual voltage. The KVFG142 relay can if required, internally derive the residual
voltage from the 3 phase voltage inputs which must be supplied from either a
5-limb or three single phase VTs. These types of VT design allow the passage of
residual flux and consequently permit the relay to derive the required residual
voltage. In addition, the primary star point of the VT must be earthed. A three limb
VT has no path for residual flux and is therefore unsuitable to supply the relay for
this application.
The output of the broken delta winding will predominantly be at the fundamental
frequency. However, it will also contain other in-phase components (triplen
harmonics) which will be filtered by the combination of anti-aliasing and Fourier
filters (refer to Chapter 7, Section 1.15 concerning the frequency response).
From this point of view, apart from the fundamental frequency signal, the most
prevalent harmonic will be the 3rd harmonic, for which the KVFG provides a
rejection ratio greater than 20:1.
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 4
Page 10 of 25
Although all settings refer to the neutral voltage displacement protection in terms of
Vo, it should be considered that the measured voltage and hence any displayed
and set figures are residual voltages. In order to know the actual zero sequence
voltage value, the values being measured should be divided by 3, since the
magnitude of residual voltage is equivalent to three time the zero sequence voltage
magnitude.
On KVFG 142 relays, there is the ability to calculate the residual voltage based
upon the phase-ground voltages connected to the relay. (Function link ND3 set to
1). However, due to the measurement technique, this results in decreasing
accuracy below settings of 5V (20V on 440V versions), outside the normal
accuracy claims.
3.3 Definite time settings
Each stage can be selected to have a definite time characteristic. The operation
time will be the set time for the time delay, plus the operation time of the output
relay and the time taken to detect the neutral displacement condition.
The same register is used for each time delay in both setting groups and the timer
is not reset when switching from one setting group to the other. Thus switching from
a setting group with a long time setting to that with a short time setting may result
in a trip if the shorter time setting had already elapsed.
4.1 Application
Undervoltage conditions may occur on a power system for a variety of reasons,
some of which are outlined below:-
Increased system loading. Generally, some corrective action would be taken by
voltage regulating equipment such as AVRs or On Load Tap Changers, in order
to bring the system voltage back to its nominal value. If the regulating
equipment is unsuccessful in restoring healthy system voltage, then tripping by
means of an undervoltage relay will be required following a suitable time delay.

BLOCKING LOGIC
The under/overvoltage protection included within the KVFG relays consists of four
independent stages which are configurable as either under or overvoltage
protection, using phase to phase or phase to neutral measuring. Each stage may
be selected as either IDMT or DT and outputs are available for either single or
three phase conditions.
Note: On the KVFG122, with system data link SDA = 1, the under/overvoltage
protection only gives an output signal on the A phase output contact. No
outputs can be given for either B or C phases.
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 4

5.1 Application
An underfrequency condition will occur when the power system load exceeds the
available generated power, such as when a power system becomes split with load
left connected to a set of islanded generators that is in excess of their capacity.
Such events could be compensated for by automatic load shedding making the
underfrequency a transient condition.
Load shedding can be achieved by either voltage reduction, or by disconnection of
low priority loads. The voltage reduction method is only effective where the load
does not contain a large percentage of motors. Under such situations, the drop in
voltage will cause the connected motors to draw more current in an attempt to
maintain their speed, which will further increase the loading on the already
overloaded system. If uncontrolled, this could lead to a collapse of the system.
Disconnection of low priority loads is a more effective method of load reduction
and can be performed based upon various voltage or frequency measurement
methods. A common method is underfrequency load shedding, whereby at specific
levels of frequency various sections of load would be disconnected. Multiple stages
of underfrequency detection could be used to segregate the loads into non-
essential, essential and critical groupings thereby aiding in controlled plant
operation during abnormal conditions.
In the event of the load shedding being unsuccessful, a final stage of
underfrequency protection should be provided to totally disconnect all loads.
Overfrequencies arise when the generation is in excess of the electrical load and
losses. The most common occurrence of overfrequency is after substantial loss of
load when a rise in generating running speed occurs. The generation control
equipment should quickly respond so that normal running speed is quickly
regained but overfrequency protection may be required as a backup protection
function to cater for failures.
The frequency protection included within the KVFG relays consists of four
independent stages which are configurable as either under or overfrequency
elements.

Please note that the frequency protection will only function correctly when a
suitable voltage signal is being presented to the relay. As such, no frequency
protection should be used with only the residual voltage input connected, or when
there is insufficient voltage to allow tracking. (Please see Section 7 on
Undervoltage Blocking).

6.1 Application
Where an incoming feeder is supplying a switchboard which is feeding rotating
plant (eg. induction motors), correct phasing and balance of the ac supply is
essential. Incorrect phase rotation will result in any connected motors rotating in
the wrong direction. For directionally sensitive applications, such as lifts and
conveyor belts, it may be unacceptable to allow this to happen.
Any unbalanced condition occurring on the incoming supply will result in the
presence of negative phase sequence (nps) components of voltage. In the event of
incorrect phase rotation, the supply voltage would effectively consist of 100%
negative phase sequence voltage only. By monitoring the input voltage rotation
and magnitude (normally from a bus connected voltage transformer), interlocking
can be arranged with the motor contactor or circuit breaker to prevent the motor
from being energised whilst incorrect phase rotation exists.
The negative sequence overvoltage protection included within the KVFG relays
consists of two independent stages which may be selected as either IDMT or DT.
A third threshold may also be set for preventing remote close commands (see
Section 8).
Note: On the KVFG 122, with system data link SDA = 1, the negative sequence
voltage measurement, protection and blocking elements are disabled.
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 4
Page 20 of 25
The negative sequence is based upon a calculation using the phase-phase voltages
applied to the relay. Due to this measurement technique, the accuracy below
settings of 15V (60V on 440V versions) on the KVFG 122 and 5V (20V on 440V
versions) on the KVFG 142 fall outside the normal accuracy claims.
6.3 Definite time settings
Each stage can be selected to have a definite time characteristic. The operation
time will be the set time for the time delay, plus the operation time of the output
relay and the time taken to detect the under or overvoltage condition.
The same register is used for each time delay in both setting groups and the timer
is not reset when switching from one setting group to the other. Thus switching from
a setting group with a long time setting to that with a short time setting may result
in a trip if the shorter time setting had already elapsed.

It should be noted that the residual voltage inputs are not used within the

7.2 Blocking the frequency elements
As described in Section 1 of Chapter 3, the relay is capable of tracking voltages
with a fundamental frequency in the range of 45Hz 65Hz. However, if the
voltage falls to a value such that accurate tracking could not occur, it is
conceivable that the frequency elements could maloperate. This is of particular
relevance during line energisation and de-energisation when significant distortion
of the waveforms can be experienced. To prevent any possibility of mal-indication,
the frequency elements are all blocked by the same undervoltage blocking
elements described in Section 7.1.3 above, and shown in Figure 7. This internal
logic provides a blocking signal to the frequency elements, regardless of whether
they are set as under or overfrequency.
All the frequency elements can also be blocked via the opto-isolated inputs,
provided appropriate input mask settings have been made.

When the auxiliary timers tAUX1, tAUX2, and tAUX3 are not being used by the
internal logic of the relay they may be used as discrete time delay elements.
Timer tAUX1 will start to time when a logic input assigned in the input masks is
energised. It will then energise an output relay assigned in the associated output
masks after the set time has elapsed. Alternatively, it can be used to give a reset
delay for the disturbance recorder and trip flags (see Section 5 of Chapter5).
Timer tAUX2 and tAUX3 can be selected to either give a delay on pick-up action
(as described for tAUX1 above) or delay on drop-off action. When selected as
delay on drop-off, the appropriate output will be energised for as long as the input
is energised. On input de-energisation, the timer will start to time and at the end of
the set time delay, the output relay will de-energise and open the contact.
The time delay can be individually set for each of the auxiliary timers, and can be
selected over the range of 0 seconds to 24 days. To aid setting, the step size is
graded so that as the operation time increases, the step size increases also.
The initial step size is 0.01 seconds.

Section 1. MEASURE 1
1.1 Voltage
Voltage is measured once per power frequency cycle and a Fourier filter is used to
extract the fundamental component. The voltage measurements available are
dependant on the KVFG model and operating mode.
1.1.1 KVFG 142 relay
The phase-neutral voltages are measured directly when the internal VTs are star
connected. The phase voltages (Va, Vb, Vc) are then stored in menu locations
0208, 0209 and 020A. From the phase-neutral voltages the phase-phase voltages
are calculated (Vab, Vbc, Vca) and stored in menu locations 0205, 0206 and
0207. The residual voltage (Vo), is measured directly from the Vo input and stored
in menu location 020B when function link ND3=0. When function link ND3=1 the
residual voltage (Vo) is calculated by summing the three phase-neutral voltages
together and storing the result in menu location 020B.
When the relay is connected in 2 phase-phase input mode the voltages stored in
menu locations 0208, 0209 and 020A (Va, Vb, Vc) are not true representations of
the phase-neutral voltages as there is no ground reference. From these voltages the
correct phase-phase voltage for all three phases is calculated (Vab, Vbc and Vca)
and stored in menu locations 0205, 0206 and 0207 respectively. The residual
voltage can only be measured from a direct input when the relay is connected in 2
phase-phase input mode as the calculated Vo obtained when ND3=1 will be
incorrect.
1.1.2 KVFG 122 relay
When the relay is connected with 1 phase-neutral/phase-phase input and residual
voltage input (function link SDA has to be set to 1) the phase-phase voltage is
stored in menu location 0205 labelled as Vab. When a phase-neutral voltage is
being measured the function link VFC needs to be set to 1 so that the phase-neutral
voltage will be stored in the correct menu location 0208 labelled Va. The residual
voltage measurement (Vo) is stored in menu location 020B.
When the relay is connected with 2 phase-phase inputs (function link SDA has to
be set to 0), the phase-phase voltages Vab and Vbc are measured and stored in
menu locations 0205 and 0206. From these 2 measured phase-phase voltages the
third phase-phase quantity (Vca) is calculated and stored in menu location 0207.
No residual voltage measurement is available in this mode.
1.2 Frequency
The sampling frequency of the analogue/digital converter is synchronised to the
power system frequency when there is a signal of sufficient strength to reliably
make a frequency measurement. In the absence of a signal to frequency track the
sampling frequency defaults to the power frequency setting in menu cell 0009.
For protection functions the measured frequency defaults to the power frequency
setting when the voltage is zero. The displayed frequency measurement will also
be the sampling frequency, but in this case it will read 0 when the frequency
tracking stops.

A full record is stored for each of the last five faults, with the new record
overwriting the oldest. These records are stored in non volatile memory and are
retained when the relay is powered down.
When the record opens the values of voltage are stored. The fault flags will be
latched when the voltage falls below 15V on the 110V input version or 55V on the
415V version or the initiating function resets.
Fault records are copied to the event recorder and stored with a time tag.
3.1 Fault data
Fault records contain different information depending on the relay type and
application.

Trip Circuit Breaker
Fault records are generated when output relay RLY3, or a logic input assigned in
the input mask [0A09 EXT TRIP], is energised. The fault flags will be latched and
the trip LED lit in response to these two inputs. The circuit breaker operations will
be incremented and the breaker fail protection initiated by either of these two
inputs.
Relay RLY7 is used for remote, or manual trip, and can be arranged to trigger the
generation of fault records and increment circuit breaker operations by setting link
LOG6 = 1.
3.3 Accessing fault records
Fault records can be accessed by selecting [0101 Fault No Fn] in the [FLT
RECORD] column menu. The fault number (Fn) denotes the record for the last fault
and the record for previous faults can be selected by successive long presses of the
[0] key. Fn-1 is the previous fault and Fn-2 is the one before that, etc.
The [0] key enables fault record selection with the cover in place on the relay, but
for remote selection, the usual change setting commands will give a quicker
response. With the cover removed and menu cell [0101 Fault No Fn] displayed,
the [+] and [] keys can be used to change to the required record number.
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 5

Fifty time tagged event records can be stored, after which the oldest record is
overwritten. They are stored in volatile memory and will be lost if the relay is
powered down. The event records can only be accessed via the serial
communication port and PC software is available to support the automatic
extraction and storing of these records.
The following items are recorded by the event recorder:
Fault records including: fault flags and fault voltages.
Setting changes made via the user interface on the front of the relay
Logic events: status change of logic inputs and/or output relays
Alarms: internal equipment alarms detected by self monitoring functions.
The number of full fault records that can be stored in events records can be
increased by setting link SD7=0 to inhibit storage of logic events.
4.1 Triggering event records
Event records are triggered automatically in response to the functions listed in the
previous section.
4.2 Time tagging of event records
The K Range relays do not have a real time clock. Instead, they each have a free-
running 32-bit counter that increments every 1ms. When an event occurs, the value
of this millisecond counter is recorded (Ta) and stored in the event buffer.
When the event is extracted, the present value of the millisecond counter is also
sent in the message (Tb). The master station must record the actual time at which it
received the event message (Tc). This is equivalent to Tb if we consider the
transmission time of the event over the communication network to be negligible.
It then calculates how long ago the event occurred by:
How long ago = (Tb Ta) ms
Real time = (time message was received) (how long ago it occurred)
= (Tc) (Tb Ta) ms
Time tagging is to a resolution of 1ms, the incrementation rate of the counter and
remains valid for approximately 49 days. However, the crystal to control the timing
has a nominal accuracy of 50 ppm, is not externally synchronised and has no
temperature compensation. It can therefore introduce an error of 1s in every 5.5
hours.
The event recording was originally designed for use with automatic extraction
programs running on a personal computer (PC) when these timing errors would be
insignificant. Refer to Chapter 5, Section 5.6 for notes on recorded times, as these
apply equally to event records.
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 5
Page 5 of 8
The internal disturbance recorder has one channel allocated to each of the
measured analogue quantities (not calculated analogue values such as Negative
Sequence Voltage V2); one to record the eight control inputs and one to record the
eight relay outputs. As with the event recorder, when the buffer is full the oldest
record is overwritten and records are deleted if the auxiliary supply to the relay is
removed. This ensures that when the buffer is read the contents will all be valid.
The disturbance recorder is stopped and the record frozen, a set time after a
selected trigger has been activated. For example, a protection trip command could
be the selected trigger and the delay would then set the duration of the trace after
the fault.
Each sample has a time tag attached to it so that when the waveform is
reconstituted it can be plotted at the correct point against the time scale, thus
ensuring that the time base is correct and independent of the frequency.
The KVFG relays measure eight samples per cycle, but the method of recording
allows the analysis program to perform with records that may have a different
sample rate.
The disturbance recorder may be triggered by several different methods dependent
on the settings in the RECORDER column of the menu. However, the records have
to be read via the serial communication port and suitable additional software is
required to reconstruct and display the waveforms. Only one complete record is
stored and the recorder must be reset before another record can be captured.
5.1 Recorder control
This cell displays the state of the recorder :
a) RUNNING recorder storing data (overwriting oldest data)
b) TRIGGERED recorder stop delay triggered
c) STOPPED recorder stopped and record ready for retrieval
When this cell is selected, manual control is possible and to achieve this the relay
must be put into the setting mode by pressing the [+] key. A flashing cursor will
then appear on the bottom line of the display at the left-hand side. The [+] key will
then select running and the [] key will select triggered. When the appropriate
function has been selected the [F] key is pressed to accept the selection and the
selected function will take effect when the [+] key is pressed to confirm the
selection. To abort the selection at any stage, press the reset key [0].

The disturbance recorder is reset via cell [0F01 Control]. Alternatively it can be
arranged to reset automatically after a time delay by setting function SD8=1 and
then tAUX1 can be set to the necessary reset delay. The setting range for tAUX1 is
0 to 24 days in graduated steps with the smallest step of 10ms. With this option
the recorder can be reset instantaneously by energising a logic input that is
assigned in the input mask [0D11 Aux1].
7.1 Watchdog
The watchdog relay will pick up when the relay is operational to indicate a healthy
state, with its make contact closed. When an alarm condition is detected that
requires some action to be taken, the watchdog relay will reset and its break
contact will close to give an alarm.
7.2 Trip indication
The trip LED will be lit following a trip condition where output relay RLY3 has
operated, or a logic input that has been assigned in input mask [0D10 EXT Trip]
has been energised.
Relay RLY7 is generally reserved for remote trip initiation via the serial
communication port. When link LOG6 = 1 and relay RLY7 is assigned in output
mask [0E16 CB Trip] the trip LED will be lit if relay RLY7 has operated. Relay RLY7
can also be initiated for manual trips via the trip pulse timer (tTRIP) by assigning a
logic input in mask [0D0E LTrip] to give a trip indication. When relay RLY7
operates and link LOG6 = 1, the default display changes to the fault flag display
and a letter R is displayed in the extreme right-hand position on the bottom line of
the display to indicate a remote trip.
If link LOG6 =0 relay RLY7 can be freely assigned to any output function, without
creating a trip indication.
7.3 Alarm indication
The alarm LED will flash when the password has been entered. It will be lit and
remain steady when an internal fault has been detected by its self test routine.
The alarm flags can then be accessed to determine the fault, provided the relay is
still able to perform this function. See Chapter 3, Section 6 for more information on
alarm flags.

Contents
Serial communications are supported over K-Bus, a multi-drop network that readily
interfaces to IEC 60870-5 FT1.2 standards. The language and protocol used for
communication is Courier. It has been especially developed to enable generic
master station programs to access many different types of relay without the
continual need to modify the master station program for each relay type.
The relays form a distributed data base and the master station polls the slave relays
for any information required.
This includes:
Measured values
Menu text
Settings and setting limits
Fault records
Event records
Disturbance records
Plant status
Software is available to support both on-line and off-line setting changes to be
made and the automatic extraction and storage of event and disturbance records
as described in Section 3.
Courier is designed to operate using a polled system, which prevents a slave
device from communicating directly to a master control unit when it needs to inform
it that something has happened; it must wait until the master control unit requests
the information. A feature of Courier is that each piece of information is packeted
by preceding it with a data type and length code. By knowing the format of the
data the receiving device can interpret it.
The Courier Communication Manual describes various aspects of this language
and other communication information necessary to interface these devices to other
equipment. It gives details on the hardware and software interfaces as well as
guidelines on how additional devices should implement the Courier language so
as to be consistent with all other devices.
Section 2. K-BUS
Each relay in the K Range has a serial communication port configured to K-Bus
standards. K-Bus is a communication interface and protocol designed to meet the
requirements of communication with protective relays and transducers within the
power system substation environment. It has the same reliability as the protective
relays themselves and does not result in their performance being degraded in any
way. Error checking and noise rejection have been of major importance in its
design.
2.1 K-Bus transmission layer
The communication port is based on RS485 voltage transmission and reception
levels with galvanic isolation provided by a transformer. A polled protocol is used
and no relay unit is allowed to transmit unless it receives a valid message,
addressed to it without any detected error. Transmission is synchronous over a pair
of screened wires and the data is FM0 coded with the clock signal to remove any
dc component so that the signal will pass through transformers.
With the exception of the master units, each node in the network is passive and
any failed unit on the system will not interfere with communication to the other
units. The frame format is HDLC and the data rate is 64kbits/s.
2.2 K-Bus connections
Connection to the K-Bus port is by standard Midos 4mm screw terminals or snap-on
connectors. A twisted pair of wires is all that is required; the polarity of connection
is not important. It is recommended that an outer screen is used with an earth
connected to the screen at the master station end only. Termination of the screen is
effected with the U shaped terminal supplied and which has to be secured with a
self tapping screw in the hole in the terminal block just below terminal 56, as
1
54
56
K-Bus
Screened 2 core cable
shown in the diagram. Operation has been tested up to 32 units connected along
1,000 metres of cable. The specification for suitable cable will be found in the
technical data section. The method of encoding the data results in the polarity of
the connection to the bus wiring being unimportant.
Note: K-Bus must be terminated with a 150 resistor at each end of the bus.
The master station can be located at any position, but the bus should only
be driven from one unit at a time.
2.3 Ancillary equipment
The minimum requirement to communicate with the relay is a K-Bus/IEC 60870-5
converter box type KITZ and suitable software to run on an IBM or compatible
personal computer.
RS232 interconnection lead for connecting the KITZ to a personal computer (PC)
and software as described in Section 3.
3.2 PAS&T
The Protection Access Software and Toolkit (PAS&T) program performs all the
functions described for the Courier Access program, but additionally it can perform
the following functions:
Generate a table of all circuit breakers that can be controlled via the relays
connected to K-Bus. These are listed by their plant reference and their open/
closed status is displayed. Selecting a circuit breaker from this table enables it
to be controlled with all the background security described for setting changes.

4.11 Protection flags
The protection flags hold the status of the various protection elements in the relay
and it is from these that the fault flags are generated. They are transmitted in the
event records as part of a fault record and this is the only way they can be
accessed.
The following table lists the protection flags:
Bit Hexadecimal

value. A decoded text form can be found in packet #3 as the ASCII Text
Description of the event (refer to Courier User Manual). The value can be decoded
to establish which elements were operated at the time of the event.
4.12 Fault records
Although fault records are stored in the event records and they may be extracted in
this way, it may be necessary in some instances to extract the fault records directly.
To do this, the record number must be first entered in menu cell 0101 so that the
correct fault record can be extracted. Fn is the record for the last fault; Fn-1 is the
previous fault record and Fn-4 is the oldest record. Then the values for menu
column 01 should be requested.
The Courier User Guide gives the detailed commands associated with these
functions.
4.13 Disturbance records
The procedure for setting up the disturbance recorder in the relays, is fully
described in Chapter 5, Section 6 of this manual. If the extraction of these records
is to be incorporated in some bespoke software program reference should be
made to the Courier User Guide for the relevant commands that are necessary to
extract the records.
It is recommended that all such records are stored in a Comtrade format to enable
commercially available programs to use the files. Comtrade includes minimum and
maximum values for each analogue channel. In all K Range relays these are 0 and
32767.
Control functions via a K Range relay can be performed over the serial
communication link. They include change of individual relay settings, change of
setting groups, remote control of the circuit breaker, and operation and latching
selected output relays.
Remote control is restricted to those functions that have been selected in the relays
menu table and the selection cannot be changed without entering the password.
CRC and message length checks are used on each message received. No
response is given for received messages with a detected error. The master station
can be set to resend a command a set number of times if it does not receive a
reply or receives a reply with a detected error.
Note: Control commands are generally performed by changing the value of a cell
and are actioned by the setting change procedure, as described in Chapter
6, 3.1, and have the same inherent security. No replies are permitted for
global commands as these would cause contention on the bus; instead a
double send is used for verification of the message by the relay for this type
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B

The KVFG relay responds to the load shed by level Courier commands. These were
intended to be used to control the load shedding control of conventional voltage
regulating relays and can of course still be used for that purpose. However, it also
provides a way of remotely operating and latching selected output relays. In the
following example it is assumed that relays are allocated in the load shedding
output masks as follows:
RLY0 assigned in [0E1B Level1]
RLY1 assigned in [0E1C Level2]
RLY2 assigned in [0E1D Level3]
The following truth table then applies:
Command RLY 0 RLY 1 RLY 3
Load shed to level 0 0 0 0
Load shed to level 1 1 0 0
Load shed to level 2 0 1 0
Load shed to level 3 0 0 1
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 6
Page 12 of 14
To set-up the relay for circuit breaker control, relay RLY7 must be assigned in output
mask [0E16 CB Trip] and RLY6 in output mask [0E17 CB Close].
Some circuit breakers require the closing pulse to be interrupted when a trip
command is issued during the closing sequence, such as when closing onto a fault.
This is to prevent pumping of the circuit breaker, ie. reclosing again when the trip
signal is terminated, and it can be arranged by setting link SD9 = 1. Some other
types of circuit breaker require the close pulse to be maintained and to achieve
this, set link SD9 = 0.

Section 1. INTRODUCTION
The KVFG relays are fully numerical in their design, implementing all protection
and non-protection functions in software. The relays employ a high degree of self-
checking so that, for the majority of failures that could occur within the relay, all
functions will cease to operate and an error will be flagged. As a result of this, the
commissioning tests do not need to be as thorough as with relays using electro-
mechanical and discrete electronic components.
To commission numeric relays it is only necessary to verify that the hardware is
functioning correctly and the application-specific software settings have been
applied to the relay. It is considered unnecessary to test every function of the relay
if the settings have been verified by one of the following methods:
Extracting the settings applied to the relay using appropriate setting software
(Preferred method)
Via the operator interface.
The timing test performed on a single element, after the customer settings have
been verified, is solely for reassurance that the relay is functioning correctly at
those settings and does not prove anything more than the other tests. It is therefore
optional.
Unless previously agreed to the contrary, the customer will be responsible for the
correct selection of the settings and the scheme logic being applied by external
customer wiring.
Blank commissioning test and setting records are provided in Appendix 4 for
completion as required.
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK ON THE EQUIPMENT, THE USER SHOULD
BE FAMILIAR WITH THE CONTENTS OF THE SAFETY SECTION AND CHAPTER
2, HANDLING AND INSTALLATION, OF THIS MANUAL.
When commissioning a KVFG relay for the first time, an hour should be allowed to
become familiar with the menu. Chapter 3, Section 3 contains a detailed
description of the menu structure but the key functions are summarised in Table 1.
With the cover in place only the [F] and [0] keys are accessible. Data can only be
read or flag and counter functions reset. No protection or configuration settings
can be changed.
Removing the cover allows access to the [+] and [] keys. All settings can be
changed and there is greater mobility around the menu.
In Table 1, [F] long indicates that the key is pressed for at least 1 second and [F]
short for less than 0.5 second. This allows the same key to perform more than one
function.
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 8
Page 2 of 21
The product verification tests cover all aspects of the product that need to be
checked to ensure that the relay has not been physically damaged prior to
commissioning, is functioning correctly and all measurements are within the stated
tolerances.
If the application-specific settings have already been applied to the relay, it is
necessary to make a copy of the settings so as to allow their restoration on
completion of commissioning. This could be done by:
Obtaining a setting file on a diskette from the customer (this requires a portable
PC with appropriate software for downloading the settings to the relay)
Extracting the settings from the product itself (this again requires a portable PC
with appropriate software)
Using a written record. This could be done using a copy of the setting record
located in Appendix 4.
If the customer has changed the password that prevents unauthorised changes to
some of the settings, either the revised password should be provided or the
customer should restore the original password prior to commencement of testing.
Note: In the event that the password has been lost, a recovery password can be
obtained from the Company by quoting the model and serial numbers of
the particular relay. The recovery password is unique to that relay and will
not work on any other relay.

KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 8
Page 4 of 21
e) Communication port.
f) Case earth.
On completion of the insulation resistance tests, ensure all external wiring is
correctly reconnected to the relay.
4.1.3 External wiring
Check that the external wiring is correct to the relevant relay diagram or scheme
diagram. The relay diagram number appears on a label on the left-hand, inside
face of the case and the corresponding connection diagram can be found in
Appendix 3 of this manual.
If an MMLG test block is provided, the connections should be checked against the
scheme diagram. It is recommended that the supply connections are to the live side
of the test block (coloured orange with the odd numbered terminals (1, 3, 5, 7
etc.). The auxiliary supply is normally routed via terminals 13 (supply positive) and
15 (supply negative), with terminals 14 and 16 connected to the relays positive
and negative auxiliary supply terminals respectively. However, check the wiring
against the schematic diagram for the installation to ensure compliance with the
customers normal practice.
4.1.4 Watchdog contacts
Isolate the relay trip contacts and re-insert the relay module. Using a continuity
tester, check the watchdog contacts are in the states given in Table 2 for a de-
energised relay.
It should be noted that the relay can withstand an ac ripple of up to 12% of the
upper rated voltage on a dc auxiliary supply. However, in all cases the peak value
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 8
Page 6 of 21
of the auxiliary supply must not exceed the maximum crest voltage. Do not
energise the relay using the battery charger with the battery disconnected as this
can seriously damage the relays power supply circuitry.
Energise the relay if the auxiliary supply is within the operating range. If an MMLG
test block is provided, it may be necessary to link across the front of the test plug to
restore the auxiliary supply to the relay.
4.2.1 Watchdog contacts
Using a continuity tester, check the watchdog contacts are in the states given in
Table 2 for an energised relay.
4.2.2 Light emitting diodes (LEDs)
On power up the green LED should have illuminated and stayed on indicating the
relay is healthy. The relay has non-volatile memory which remembers the state (on
or off) of the yellow alarm and red trip LED indicators when the relay was last
powered, and therefore these indicators may be on.
If either the alarm or trip, or both, LEDs are on then these should be reset before
proceeding with further testing. If the LEDs successfully reset (the LED goes out),
there is no testing required for that LED because it is known to be operational.
TESTING THE ALARM LED
The alarm LED can simply be tested by entering the password in the
[0002 Password] cell as this will cause it to flash.
TESTING THE TRIP LED
The trip LED can be tested by initiating a manual circuit breaker trip from the relay.
However, if output relays 3 or 7 have been allocated for circuit breaker tripping in
the relay masks for the over/undervoltage protection function, the trip LED will
operate during the optional timing test performed later. Otherwise the trip LED will
need testing.
If neither output relay 3 nor 7 has been assigned for manual circuit breaker
tripping, with the password entered (use the [0002 Password] cell if not already in
this mode), set relay mask [0E16 CB Trip] bit 7 to 1.
Set cell [0010 CB Control] to Trip and confirm the operation by pressing [F]
then[+]. Check the trip LED to ensure it comes on.
RESTORING PASSWORD PROTECTION
To restore password protection (stopping changes to password-protected cells),
press and hold the [F] key for over 1 second then press and hold the [0] key for
over 1 second. Password protection will also be restored automatically 15 minutes
after the last key press. The alarm LED stops flashing to indicate that password
protection has been restored.
4.2.3 Liquid crystal display (LCD)
There are no test routines for the LCD. The display itself can be checked by moving
through the relay menu looking for pixels (the dots on the display used to form the
text) that are not working.
There is an integral backlight in the display that allows settings to be read in all
conditions of ambient lighting. It is switched on when any key on the frontplate is
momentarily pressed and is designed to switch off 10 minutes after the last key
SERVICE MANUAL R8559B
KVFG 122, 142 Chapter 8
Page 7 of 21
press. Check that the backlight does switches off as it will impose an unnecessary
burden on the station battery if it stays on.
4.2.4 Field voltage supply
The relay generates a field voltage of nominally 48V that should be used to
energise the opto-isolated inputs. Measure the field voltage across terminals 7 and
8. Terminal 7 should be positive with respect to terminal 8 and the voltage should
be within the range 45V to 60V when no load is connected.
4.2.5 Input opto-isolators
This test checks that all the opto-inputs are functioning correctly. The KVFG122 has
only 3 opto-inputs (L0, L1 and L2) while the KVFG142 has the full 8 opto-inputs
(L0, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6 and L7).
To allow the opto-inputs to work, terminal 8 (field voltage supply negative) should
be linked to terminal 52 on both models and also to terminal 55 for the KVFG142.
The opto-inputs can then be individually energised by connecting terminal 7 (field
voltage supply positive) to the appropriate opto-input listed in Table 4.
Note: The opto-isolated inputs may be energised from an external 50V battery in
some installations. Check that this is not the case before connecting the field
voltage otherwise damage to the relay may result.

The status of each opto-input can be viewed using cell [0020 Log Status].
When each opto is energised, one of the characters on the bottom line of the
display will change to indicate the new state of the inputs. The number printed on
the frontplate under the display will identify which opto each character represents.
A 1 indicates an energised state and a 0 indicates a de-energised state.
4.2.6 Output relays
This test is to check that all the output relays are functioning correctly.
With the password entered (using the [0002 Password] cell), set relay mask
[0E16 CB Trip] bit 0 to 1 and the rest (bits 1 to 7) to 0.
Connect an audible continuity tester across the terminals corresponding to output
relay 0 given in Table 5. Select the [0010 CB Control] cell and press the [+] key
until Trip CB is displayed. Press the [F] once followed by the [+] key to confirm the
change.
Operation of output relay 0 will be confirmed by the continuity tester sounding for
the duration of the trip pulse time in the [0C05 tTRIP] cell.
Repeat the test for output relays 1 to 3 inclusive for a KVFG122 relay and relays 1
to 7 inclusive for a KVFG 142 relay.

The setting verification tests ensure that all the predetermined settings for the
particular installation (customers settings) have been correctly applied to the relay
and that the relay is operating correctly at those settings.
5.1 Apply settings
There are two methods of applying the settings:
Downloading them to the relay using a portable PC running the appropriate
software via a KITZ protocol converter. If a KITZ is not installed as part of the
customers scheme, one will have to be temporarily connected to the K-Bus
terminals of the relay. This method is the preferred as it is much faster and there
is less margin for error.
If a setting file has been created by the customer and provided on a diskette, this
will save time.
Enter them manually via the relays operator interface.

If cell [0501 VF Links] link 1 equals 1, stage 1 has been set for undervoltage
operation. Set the ac voltage source so that prior to testing the voltage is above the
stage 1 voltage setting given in cell [0503 1V] and, during testing, half the stage
1 voltage setting. However, if cell [0501 VF Links] link D has been set to 1, the
voltage during testing must be greater than 15V as the undervoltage function will
be blocked below this voltage.
5.3.3 Determine the expected operating time
The setting of cell [0504 1V Char] selects the operating characteristic as either
definite time or inverse. If set to definite time, the value of cell [0505 1tV] is the
stage 1 operating time in seconds. If set to inverse, the value of cell [0506 1V
(tms)] is the time multiplier setting (TMS). The corresponding operating time (t) in
seconds is given by:
TMS
t =
M 1
where
Applied voltage
M =
Relay setting voltage (Vs)
Remove all test leads, temporary shorting leads, etc. and replace any external
wiring that has been removed to allow testing.
If it has been necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the relay in
order to perform any of the above tests, it should be ensured that all connections
are replaced in accordance with the relevant external connection or scheme
diagram.
The following on-load measuring test ensures that the external (customer) wiring to
the voltage inputs is correct but can only be carried out if there are no restrictions
preventing the energisation of the plant being protected.
Measure the voltage transformer secondary voltages to ensure that they are
correctly rated and check that the system phase rotation is correct using a phase
rotation meter.

stored at the instant RLY3 resets. The flag display (cell [0102 Fn G1]) will include a
flag to identify the opto-isolated input that initiated the record.
Fault currents recorded are lower than actual values, as the fault is interrupted
before measurement is completed.
Few fault records can be stored when changes in the state of logic inputs and relay
outputs are stored in the event records. These inputs and outputs can generate
many events for each fault occurrence and limit the total number of faults that can
be stored. Setting function link [0003 SD Links] link 7 to 0 will turn off this feature
and allow the maximum number of fault records to be stored.
The event records are erased if the auxiliary supply to the relay is lost for a period
exceeding the hold-up time of the internal power supply.
Events can only be read via the serial communication port and not on the LCD.
Any spare opto-isolated inputs may be used to log changes of state of external
contacts in the event record buffer of the K Relay. The opto-isolated input does not
have to be assigned to a particular function in order to achieve this (ie. it does not
have to be assigned in any of the input masks).
The oldest event is overwritten by the next event to be stored when the buffer
becomes full.
When a master station has successfully read a record, it usually clears it
automatically. When all records have been read, the event bit in the status byte
within the master station program is set to 0 to indicate that there are no longer
any records to be retrieved.
8.4.2 Problems with disturbance records
Only one record can be held in the buffer and the recorder must be reset before
another record can be stored. Automatic reset can be achieved by setting cell
[0003 SD Links] link 6 to 1. Once the disturbance recorder has stopped, it will
reset after the auxiliary 1 timer setting (cell [0C02 tAUX1]).
The disturbance records are erased if the auxiliary supply to the relay is lost for a
period exceeding the hold-up time of the internal power supply.
Disturbance records can only be read via the serial communication port. It is not
possible to display them on the LCD.
No trigger has been selected in cells [0F04 Logic Trig] or [0F05 Relay trig] to
initiate the storing of a disturbance record.
The disturbance recorder is automatically reset after the auxiliary 1 timer setting
(cell [0C02 tAUX1]) following stopping of the recorder. Change cell [0003 SD
Links] link 6 to 0 to select manual reset.
Post trigger (cell [0F03 Post Trigger]) is set to maximum value. Thus, the relay is
missing the fault.
When a master station has successfully read a record, it will clear the record
automatically and the disturbance record bit in the status byte within the master
station program will then be set to 0 to indicate that there is no longer a record to
be retrieved.

connected to the opto-isolated inputs of the relay to indicate its position via the
Plant Status Word (cell [000C Plnt Status]). Check input masks [0D15 CB Closed]
and [0D16 CB Open] for correct opto-isolator allocations, and the connections to
the auxiliary contacts of the circuit breaker.
8.7 Output relays remain picked up
Relays remain picked up when de-selected by link or mask.
If an output relay is operated at the time it is de-selected, either due to a software
link change or by de-selecting it in an output mask, it may remain operated until
the K Relay is powered down and up again. After such changes, it is advisable to
remove the auxiliary supply from the relay for at least 10 seconds before re-
energising it.
Section 9. MAINTENANCE
If a failure to trip occurs, view cell [0021 Rly Status] whilst the test is repeated.
This will check that the output relay is being commanded to operate.
If the trip test is being performed using a trip/close cycle, the output relay assigned
in cell [0E16 CB Trip] should operate and not the main trip relay used by the
protection functions.
If the assigned output relay is not responding then an output relay allocated to a
less essential function may be re-allocated to the trip function to effect a temporary
repair. However, a visit may be needed to effect a wiring change. See Chapter 3,
Section 4.14 for details on how to set relay masks.
9.1.4 Circuit breaker operations counter
The number of circuit breaker operations can be obtained at this time by reading
cell [0310 CB ops]).
9.2 Local testing
When testing locally, similar tests to those for remote testing may be carried out to
check for correct functioning of the relay.
9.2.1 Alarms
The alarm status LED should be checked first to identify if any alarm conditions
exist. The alarm records (cell [0022 Alarms]) can then be read to identify the
nature of any alarm that may exist.
9.2.2 Measurement accuracy
The values measured by the relay can be checked against known values of voltage
applied to the relay. Suitable test methods can be found in Section 6 of this
chapter. These tests will prove the calibration accuracy is being maintained.
9.2.3 Trip test
If the relay is configured to provide a trip test via its user interface then this should
be performed to test the output trip relays. If the relay is configured for remote
control of the circuit breaker, the trip test will initiate the remote circuit breaker trip
relay (assigned in cell [0E16 CB Trip] and not the main trip relay used by the
protection functions. In this case the main trip relay should be tested by adjusting
the under/overvoltage protection function stage 1 setting (cell [0503 1V]) so that it
operates after its time delay. Afterwards, the settings must be returned to their
usual value.
Note: If setting group 2 is not being used for any other purpose, it could be used
for this test by having the test setting pre-selected and changing the setting
group that is in use to initiate the tripping sequence.
If the assigned output relay is not responding then an output relay allocated to a
less essential function may be re-allocated to the trip function to effect a temporary
repair. See Chapter 3, Section 4.14 for details on how to set relay masks.
9.2.4 Circuit breaker operations counter
The number of circuit breaker operations can be obtained at this time by reading
cell [0310 CB ops]).
9.2.5 Additional tests
Additional tests can be selected from the Commissioning Instructions as required.

It should be noted when replacing output relays that the pcbs have through plated
holes. Care must therefore be taken not to damage these holes when a component
is removed, otherwise solder may not flow through the hole to make a good
connection to the tracks on the component side of the pcb.
9.3.3 Replacing the power supply board
Remove the two screws securing the right hand terminal block to the top plate of
the module.
Remove the two screws securing the right hand terminal block to the bottom plate
of the module.
Unplug the back plane from the power supply board.
Remove the securing screws at the top and bottom of the power supply board.
Withdraw the power supply board from the rear, unplugging it from the front bus.
Re-assemble in the reverse order of the above sequence.
9.3.4 Replacing the back plane
Remove the two screws securing the right hand terminal block to the top plate of
the module.
Remove the two screws securing the right hand terminal block to the bottom plate
of the module.
Unplug the back plane from the power supply board.
Twist outwards and around to the side of the module.
Replace the pcb and terminal block assembly.
Re-assemble in the reverse order of the above sequence.
9.4 Recalibration
Recalibration is not usually required when a pcb is replaced unless it happens to
be the left-hand board of the two that plug directly on to the left hand terminal
block as this one directly affects the calibration.
Although it is possible to carry out recalibration on site, this requires test equipment
with suitable accuracy and a special calibration program to run on a PC. It is
therefore recommended that the work is carried out at the factory, or entrusted to
an approved service centre.
After calibration, the relay will need to have all the settings required for the
application re-entered if a replacement board has been fitted. Therefore, it is useful
if a copy of the settings is available on floppy disk. Although this is not essential, it
can reduce the time taken to re-enter the settings and hence the time the protection
is out of service.
