Electrical Faults in the Network

Unselective
Selective Trip
Trip

> Example of medium voltage (10 kV)


> In case of a fault, a high current flows to the fault location
> It has to be switched off in a fast and selective way
> Selectivity: Only the faulty line segment is switched off in order to maintain the
power supply of as many consumers as possible.

© OMICRON Slide 113


Possibilities to Switch-off a Fault

> Fuses
> Advantages:
> Inexpensive
> Fast trip times
> Disadvantages:
> Can only be used once
> Limited range of use
(10 kV approx. 200 A / 20 kV approx. 100 A)

> Protection Devices


> Current measurement with a current transformer
> Trip decision by the protection device
> Switch-off by circuit breaker
> Advantages:
> Can be used multiple times
> Flexible setting I>
> Disadvantages:
> Expensive
> Higher maintenance costs

Overcurrent Protection

> Definition:
The protection system operates, if the current exceeds a set value.
> Definite time overcurrent (O/C) protection – DT (or ANSI 50)
> Always operates with the same (settable) trip time, if the current exceeds a set
value.

> Inverse time overcurrent (O/C) protection – IDMT (or ANSI 51)
> Operates if the current exceeds a set value but the trip time depends on the
magnitude of the current. The higher the current, the faster the trip command.

> Grading: Coordination of protection settings with the surrounding protection


devices.
> If definite time O/C is used as line protection, the setting I> cannot be used for
grading. As the short circuit currents hardly change with different fault locations,
the faulty line segment cannot be detected based on the current magnitude.
> Therefore, all protection devices of a radial feeder typically have the same pick-
up value.
> Selectivity is achieved by time grading.
> Protection devices of upstream line segments are set with higher trip time.
> The time delay is typically 300...500 ms and includes:
> Pick-up time of the protection devices
> Inherent delay of the circuit breakers
> Tolerance of the time measurement
> Inherent delay of intermediate relays

> How to set:


> Again start with the last protection
device in a radial feeder
> Select the characteristic type depending on the downstream asset or protection
system
> Set Ip like the definite time overcurrent. Example Ip = 420 A
> TMS must be coordinated with the downstream protection system (fuse or
protection device)
Example TMS = 0.3
> Specialty of digital inverse time overcurrent: Typically does not pick-up at
the set value Ip but a bit higher (e.g. 1.1 Ip). This prevents a pick-up at
extremely high trip times.

Inverse Time O/C – Time Grading

Protection Testing Principles

> To ensure that protection devices are set correctly, they have to
be tested.
> Upon commissioning / parameter changes
> Then in periodic cycles (routine testing) – typically every 2...4 years

> Test method: Test


> Injecting the currents and measuring the signals (trip / pick-up) Set
> All settings have to be tested
> Pick-up tests (I>, I>>, Ip) – current is increased in small steps until the
relay picks up. The result is compared with the nominal value.

Current

Trip
> Trip time test (t I>, t I>>, IDMT characteristic) – a current is injected that
leads to a trip. The trip time is compared with the nominal value. For a
definite time stage one test shot is sufficient. For an inverse stage at
least 2-3 shots should be placed on the characteristic.
Protec-
> Different fault loops have to be tested (single-phase faults / multi- tion
phase faults) Device
> Tests can be performed with a single-phase or a three-phase test
set. Rewiring is necessary when testing with single-phase test sets.

> After a protection test a test report has to be created.

© OMICRON Slide 126


Limits of Non-Directional O/C Protection

> Ring or meshed networks:

> The fault direction cannot be detected based on the


magnitude of the current. Therefore selectivity cannot be
achieved.
> Networks with changing infeed conditions / double lines
> If the source impedance changes a lot, Iload max can be
higher than Isc min – therefore no reasonable pick-up value
Ip/I> can be set

© OMICRON Slide 127


Alternative Protection Principles

> Directional overcurrent protection (ANSI 67)


> In addition to the current, also the voltage is measured
> Therefore a direction measurement is possible
> Is used in ring networks predominantly (depending on the
country)

Functions to Achieve Testing Automation

> Goal:
> Minimum ‘Clicking’ during preparation and – Efficiency!
> Standardized test – Accuracy!
> Minimize the human error – Quality!

> Benefit:
> Reduce redundancy
> Reduce manual tests
> Deal with on-site time pressure

> Suggest Methods:

> OMICRON Control Centre (OCC) as the automation platform

> LinkToXRIO easily achieve the efficient test plan preparation

> Protection Testing Library/Template (PTL/PTT) as good reference

OMICRON Control Center (OCC)

> Test plans can easily be built, maintained


and distributed
> Testing times can be significantly reduced
> All functions of a test object can be tested
with one test plan, defined with an OCC
document
> OCC file holds all embedded module test
reports as one contiguous test report

© OMICRON Slide 162


Test Universe concept

> O: Device under test is specified and set in Test Object


> H: Test hardware is set up in Hardware Configuration
> M: Test Module may be used stand-alone or embedded with other test
modules in an OMICRON Control Center test document (OCC file)

Automatic test plan

> After the test, all results are in one report

© OMICRON Slide 165


Report

> It is possible to insert the logo, filename, etc. in the header or in the footer

© OMICRON Slide 166


ExeCute

> Executes any external program, e.g. relay setting software

© OMICRON Slide 167


Pause

> Pauses the OCC test plan to


> inform the user
> request a response for the report

© OMICRON Slide 168


Text View

> Displays any ASCII text in the OCC


> Updates display while running
> Views relay settings, log files ...

Limitations

> Relay Settings  PTT (from Suppliers’ Software)


> Relay Settings  PTT (from Setting Files)

> Manual process


> Repeating tasks
> Massive items for some protection functions
> Human errors
> Time consuming during preparation

> OMICRON are making commitment for your sake.

Benefits

> Eliminate the manually inputting process


> Minimize the human error
> Tremendous time-saving

> Can be used in both standalone modules and PTTs

> Continuous commitment from OMICRON and relay manufacturers.

Test Automation and LinkToXRIO
PTT and LinkToXRIO

> Automatic Enable and Disable modules

© OMICRON Slide 186


PTT and LinkToXRIO

> Free templates for


almost all the major relay manufacturers (358)

© OMICRON Slide 187


PTT and LinkToXRIO

> Automatic update the testing parameters


> Example: ITest = 150% × ISetting

© OMICRON Slide 188


LinkToXRIO with XRIO Converters

> E.g. Undervoltage blocking

> Pickup test


> Test value ramp up
> From 70 x 1.1 = 77V to 70V x 0.9 = 63V
> Step size is 1% of the nominal setting, which is 70 x 0.01= 0.7V
> Time shall be longer than 81D1D, e.g. 3 x 81D1D = 3 x 0.03 = 0.09 sec

LinkToXRIO with XRIO Converters

> What if the setting has been changed?


> Do I need to re-calculate everything again?
 Relative methods for test point preparations
