This guideline describes in general the procedures for configuring the REF 54_
feeder terminals, REM 54_ machine terminals and REC 523 remote monitoring and
control units correctly with the Relay Configuration Tool. In this document, the term
“device” will be used when referring to all three products.
Section 3 describes step-by-step the engineering actions required to create a relay
configuration for a single device. Section 4 defines a set of programming rules that
should be followed while creating the configuration or at least carefully checked
when finalizing the configuration. Finally, section 5 provides some engineering tips
for doing the configuration.
For instructions on operating the tool itself, refer to the CAP 505 Operator’s Manual
(see “References” on page 108).
The version C of the Configuration Guideline complies with products of the Release
SA 2.0. For information about the changes and additions compared to earlier
revisions, refer to the Technical Reference Manual of the appropriate product (see
“References” on page 108).
Please note that the examples and dialogue pictures of the Relay Configuration Tool
in this manual refer to REF 54_ feeder terminals. The corresponding cases and
dialogues may be slightly different for REM 54_ and REC 523.

The Relay Configuration Tool, which is a standard programming system for
RED500 devices, is used for configuring the protection, control, condition
monitoring, measurement and logic functions of the feeder terminal. The tool is
based on the IEC 61131-3 standard, which defines the programming language for
relay terminals, and includes the full range of IEC features. The PLC logics are
programmed with Boolean functions, timers, counters, comparators and flip-flops.
The programming language described in this manual is a function block diagram
(FBD) language.

Start up the CAP505 tool by double clicking the icon. After adding a new object as
an empty configuration to the CAP505 environment (refer to the CAP505
Operator’s Manual, see “References” on page 108), the program opens an empty
project template (see Figure 3.1.-1 below) with a toolbar at the top. The next step is
to build the project tree structure by inserting libraries, program organisation units
(POUs) and target specific items to the project tree.
The project tree editor is a window in which the whole project is represented as a
tree. The project tree is illustrated with several icons. Most of the icons represent a
file of the project and different looking icons represent different types of files. The
tree always contains 4 subtrees: Libraries, Data Types, Logical POUs and Physical
Hardware.

)LJ 7KHSURMHFWWUHHZLWKLWVIRXUVXEWUHHV
The project tree is the main tool for editing the project structure. Editing the project
structure means inserting POUs or worksheets to the project structure or deleting
existing ones. The editors for editing the data of the code bodies and the variable
declaration can be called by double clicking the corresponding object icons.
If you intend to edit an old project, note that saving the changes made
! with the “save as” command will not work as in other Windows
programs. In case you want to keep the old project unchanged, the
project has to be saved with a new name before making any changes.

 /LEUDULHV
Before editing any worksheets of POUs, the whole project tree structure must be
build. The function block library (protection, control, measurement, condition
monitoring and standard functions) needed in the relay configuration is to be
inserted to the “Libraries” subtree. (For instructions on announcing libraries, refer
to the manual “Relay Configuration Tool, Tutorial”, see “References” on page 108.)
Before inserting the library to the project, all worksheets must be closed; otherwise
the I/O description of function blocks will be confused. The programs, function
blocks (e.g. NOC3Low, the low set stage of non-directional three-phase overcurrent
protection) and functions of the library can be reused in the new project, which is
edited.
The library, e.g. REFLIB01 for REF54_ (see Figure 3.1.1.-1 below), includes the
full set of function blocks, but only those ordered by the customer can be used in the
configuration.

Each Program Organisation Unit, a POU, consists of several worksheets: a
description worksheet for comments, a variable worksheet for variable declarations
and a code body worksheet for the configuration. The name of each worksheet is
indicated beside the corresponding icon and the *-symbol after the name of a
worksheet indicates that the worksheet has not been compiled yet.

)LJ 3URJUDPRUJDQLVDWLRQXQLWZLWKWKUHHZRUNVKHHWV
The description worksheet (e.g. ProtectT) illustrated below is for describing the
POU or the configuration element. The worksheet is automatically named by adding
a ’T’ to the name of the POU.

)LJ 'HVFULSWLRQZRUNVKHHW
The variable worksheet (e.g. ProtectV) is for the variable declaration. The worksheet
is automatically named by adding a ’V’ to the name of the POU. The variable
worksheet is not edited manually but is created by the tool.

1MRS 750745-MUM Configuration Guideline 5()B
5(0B
5(&

A code body worksheet (e.g. Protect) is for a code body declaration in the form of
an FBD, a Function Block Diagram. All configurations for the devices of the RED
500 platform are made in the graphical FBD language. A code body programmed in
the FBD language is composed of functions and function blocks that are connected
to each other using variables, connection lines or connectors. An output of a function
block can be combined with the output of another function block e.g. via an OR gate
(refer to section “General” on page 35). Connectors are objects that can be used
instead of connection lines, for example where the distance between two objects on
the worksheet is great. Connectors can only be used within one worksheet and they
are resolved by textual names. Connectors should be used with care since the tool
may not warn if a match to a connector cannot be found (for example, the
comparison of connectors is case sensitive). Note that visually, connectors are
distinguished from variables by embedding them with brackets.

)LJ &RGHERG\GHFODUDWLRQLQ)%'ODQJXDJH
Even though the tool permits adding several code body worksheets under one POU,
only one worksheet is recommended to be used per POU. If more space is needed
for a configuration, the worksheet size can be increased or the functionality can be
divided into several POUs. Avoid creating very large configurations per POU since
the RED500 PLC environment has an inherent limit for the number of input/output
points per POU. The limit is 511 I/O points and is consumed by called function block
instances only. Note that this limit is checked during the configuration downloading.
If the downloading fails for this reason, the user has to divide the POU into smaller
units. For example, the function block NOC3Low in Figure 3.1.2.-4 above includes
15 I/O points. I/O points are consumed regardless of whether they are connected or
not.

In the project tree editor and in the library editor, the “Logical POUs” subtree
represents a directory for all POUs related to the project. The maximum of 20 POUs
can be inserted to the subtree. Figure 3.1.3.-1 below shows a “Logical POUs”
subtree with 4 POUs; “CondMon” represents a function block, “Confirm”
represents a function, and “Measure” and “Control” are programs. The associated
icon represents the POU type.

)LJ ³/RJLFDO328V´VXEWUHHZLWK328V
Each POU type has specific characteristics from the programming point of view.
• A function yields exactly one data element which is evaluated from its input
parameters. In other words, a function cannot contain any internal state
information. Furthermore, a function can call other functions but no function
blocks.
• A function block (FB) can return 0,1,2.. output values and can have internal
variables. Function blocks can call any other function or function block. Multiple
copies of function blocks are called instances and each instance is given an
identifier.
• Programs are specialized function blocks that can only be called by tasks.
Note that recursion is not allowed for any POU type.
The POU category is selected when a POU is inserted to the project tree. Figure
3.1.3.-2 below shows the dialogue for inserting POUs. The programming language
(FBD) for the POU and the return data type for functions are also selected here. The
“PLC type” and “Processor type” selections should be left to their default values.

At first, a POU framework is created, i.e. empty POUs are inserted to the project
according to the Specification for Relay Configuration filled out prior to starting the
configuration procedure. The physical hardware must be defined before creating the
actual contents for the POUs, otherwise predefined target-specific POUs will not be
available for the programmer.
The task execution intervals recommended for function blocks must be considered
already when defining the POU framework. In general, each POU forms a functional
unit, e.g. for protection function blocks. Some function blocks, however, require a
different task than most of the same category and must thus be assigned a separate
POU. For example, the task execution interval of most protection function blocks is
10 ms but Freq1St_ requires the task of 5 ms, which is why it usually needs a
separate POU. However, if all the protection function blocks used are associated
with the task of 5 ms, no separate POU is required for Freq1St_.

Generally, the operation accuracy is increased when the task speed is increased, but
at the same time, the load of the microprocessors is increased as well. Although the
task speed can be freely chosen with the tool, it is necessary to determine a
maximum task execution interval for each function block; otherwise the operation
accuracy and operate times for protection functions cannot be guaranteed. The
maximum task execution interval is based on test results and has also been used in
the type testing of the function blocks. The recommended task execution interval
quaranteed by the manufacturer can be found in section “Technical Data” in the
technical description of each function block. Furthermore, certain function blocks,
e.g. MEDREC16, must be tied to the task given by the manufacturer, otherwise the
operation of these function blocks is not possible. For more information about the
task execution intervals of function blocks, refer to the manual “Technical

defining the tasks on two different levels:
1. each program POU (= program organisation unit) can be tied to a separate task
2. a separate function block inside a POU can be tied to any task
However, the alternative 2) is not supported in the RED environment, which means
that if a separate function block inside a POU is given a separate task definition, it
will be ignored when transferred to the device. This means that when the function
blocks are being placed in different POUs, not only the category of the function
(protection, control, etc.) but also the maximum task execution interval should be
considered, since all function blocks inside a POU will run at the same speed.
The task execution interval for each task is defined via the dialogue Properties/Task
(click “Settings...”). For example, the task execution interval for Task1 in the figure
below is defined as 10 ms, which means that the program Prot_Me is run 100 times
per one second. The maximum number of tasks with different intervals is 4.
Note that the task setting is automatically modified by the tool if the set
! network frequency is other than 50 Hz (see “Network Frequency” in
Figure 3.1.4.2.-4 on page 16). At 60 Hz, for example, 10 ms becomes
8.333 ms.

)LJ 6HWWLQJWKHWDVNH[HFXWLRQLQWHUYDOIRUDSURJUDP
If there is a need for several different tasks that control the same output relay, it is
recommended that the output relay is controlled directly in the fastest task and other
control commands are brought to that task via global variables.
E.g. some protection function blocks can be run in the 5 ms task, some in the
10 ms task and some even using the 100 ms task. Still, all these function
blocks use the same output relay.
Another way to avoid also the software delays when communicating between the
different tasks is to use a separate output relay for each protection task.
E.g. the trip signal from the 5 ms task is connected to High-Speed Power
Output 1 and the trip signal from the 10 ms task to High-Speed-Power-
Output 2. The outputs can then control the same opening coil of the circuit
breaker.

The figure above illustrates the ways how values of variables can be communicated
among software elements. Variable values within a program can be communicated
directly by connecting the output of one program element to the input of another or
via local variables such as the variable y illustrated in the upper left corner of the
figure above. In the same configuration, variable values can be communicated
between programs via global variables such as the variable x illustrated in
“Configuration C” in the figure above. In such a case, make sure that the global
variable is only written from one location in the project. The global variable can still
be read from several locations.
According to the IEC standard 61131-3, all variables that have no explicit initialiser
are initialised with a data type dependent default value. Despite of this, it is always
recommended that the initial value is given explicitly. Naturally, the value to which
each variable should be initialised depends on the logical function of the program .

Especially the initial values of global variables are logically significant for the
program. The user cannot choose the order in which tasks are initialised, which
means that if a task reading a global variable is initialised before another task gives
the variable its first value, it is important that an appropriate initial value has been
selected for the global variable.

the size of a stored project file. If this is exceeded, the tool will interrupt the

Digital inputs and outputs of RED500 devices are implemented as directly
represented global variables. As such, they are special cases and their use in the
configuration is limited. Directly represented variables are declared in the Global
Variables sheet of the project tree. They can be recognized by the AT keyword as in
the examples below.

BIO1_5_BI1 $7 %IX 1.8.2 :BOOL := FALSE; ( *Binary input X5.1/1,2 *)


BIO2_7_PO1 $7 %QX 1.13.2 :BOOL := FALSE; ( *Single pole output X7.1/17,18 *)

Note that the parts of the line following the AT keyword may not be changed. Only
the name of the signal, i.e. the part before the AT keyword, may be changed if
required. If the names are adapted to the logical meanings of the signals, the user is
encouraged to create and to follow a naming convention. The name should indicate,
apart from the logical meaning, whether the signal is an input or output signal.
Examples of such names following a naming convention could be:

4BFORVHBVWDB,1 AT %IX 1.8.2 :BOOL := FALSE; (* Binary input X5.1/1,2 *)


4BFORVHBFPGB287 AT %QX 1.13.2 :BOOL := FALSE; (* Single pole output X7.1/17,18 *)

Access direction for the directly represented variables is restricted by their purpose.
This means that a digital input can be read but not written, see Figure 4.2.-1 below.
Accordingly, an output can be written but not read. Note that an input can be read
from several locations within a worksheet and even from any program organisation
unit within the configuration, whereas an output can only be written from one
location at a time.

A feedback path exists on the FBD worksheet when an output of a function block is
used as an input to a function block that precedes it in the execution order. There are
two types of feedback paths, an explicit and an implicit feedback loop (see Figures
4.3.-1 and 4.3.-2 below). It is strongly recommended that explicit feedback loops are
changed to implicit loops by means of a feedback variable.
The Relay Configuration Tool can detect explicit loops during compilation. If the
menu item “Display warnings” in the “Make” menu is checked, the compiler will
give warnings about the detected explicit feedback loops. To view the feedback
loops, select “Highlight feedback” in the “Layout” menu. The execution order of
functions compared to the expected behaviour may in some cases dictate where the
feedback variable should be added (for instructions on how to view the execution
order, refer to section “Execution order” on page 39). The initial value of the
feedback variable should also be selected with care.

Analogue channels defined in the resource can be connected to the analogue inputs
of application function blocks on a code body worksheet. Most of the function
blocks with several analogue inputs support unconnected inputs. For example, in
Figure 4.4.-1 below, the function block NOC3Low operates on only two inputs. The
third and unused input constantly measures a zero current amplitude. This function
block only requires that at least one of the three inputs is connected. On the other
hand, certain function blocks require that all analogue inputs are connected. An
example of such a function block is OV3Low (see Figure 4.4.-1 below). If the
analogue channel requirements of a function block are violated, a configuration
error is generated. For more information on how analogue inputs are expected to be
connected, refer to the function block manuals on the CD-ROM “ Technical
Descriptions of Functions”, see “References” on page 108.
Analogue channels connected to application function blocks may not be changed
runtime. Therefore, do not use any selectors between analogue channels and
function blocks.

If a configuration for a function block is not correct, its ERR output is activated
immediately after configuration downloading and the function block is forced to the
“Not in use” mode. In this case, application function blocks that have the “Operation
mode” parameter in their actual setting menu will display the “Not in use” operation
mode, regardless of which mode has been selected for the parameter in the setting
group menu.
The error signals of all application function blocks should be collected together via
an OR gate and connected to e.g. an MMI alarm indication of REF 54_ or REM 54_,
i.e. an MMIALAR_ function block. This way, detecting any untreated configuration
errors is fast and easy.
Configuration errors typically originate from missing special measurements, the

This example includes four (4) bays. The logic is basically the same in every bay.
The intention of this guideline is to point out how to ensure the horizontal inter-bay
communication, including correct state indication of control objects via LON
communication. The logic also includes an alarm function in case of a broken fibre

Communication between terminals is executed by using the communication input
and output signals (global variables COMM_IN_ and COMM_OUT_). The logic
must be designed in a Relay Configuration Tool project. The LON network variable
bindings can be created with the LON Network Tool. Communication inputs and
outputs are bound to each other on a one-to-one basis by means of unacknowledged
repeated unicast service. The signals are named so that the number at the end of
COMM_OUT_ (e.g. COMM_OUT) denotes the bay to which the signal is sent.
Accordingly, the number at the end of COMM_IN_ denotes the bay from which the
signal is received. This way, COMM_OUT2 of bay 1 is bound to COMM_IN1 of
bay 2.

 &200B,1
COMM_IN_ signals are converted into Boolean logic mode by INT2BOOL
function blocks. The B0 output signal (BLOCK1) in an INT2BOOL function block
is used for blocking the control of objects except for the one that is sending the
signal. In other words, only one object can be controlled at a time. Furthermore,
Comm-Check_ signals are used for checking the condition of fibre optics. Signals
for bay interlocking are also received.

Each measured variable is individualised by an IEC address. Measurement values
and the corresponding IEC addresses are sent to a client, e.g. to MicroSCADA, with
both delta supervision events and limit supervision events.
When the supervision of warning and alarm limits is active, the priority for limit
event sending is higher than that for delta event sending if both type of events are
sent concurrently. Concurrent event sending appears, for example, when a measured
value changes considerably during a short period, e.g. when a circuit breaker is
closed or opened. This causes problems if limit supervision events have been
masked off, since the client will not receive all measurement values even if major
changes have taken place.
Thus, the limit supervision events are not recommended to be masked
! off if limit supervision is used.

Power quality is a topic that defines the limits for delivered electricity in power
network. The key issue is to define acceptable variation limits to ensure that end-
customers are able to utilise the delivered power. Power quality is ultimately a
customer-driven issue.
Excellent power without interruptions is the ultimate target. Today this target has not
been reached. There are many kind of disturbances in the network affecting power
quality. Interruptions and other disturbances weaken the utilisation of delivered
power in end-customer facilities. If these disturbances have noticeable effects on the
utilisation of power, disturbances should be blocked out or the system should be
made immune to these disturbances. Before taking action to reduce the effects of
disturbances, the reason and source of the disturbance should be found. Only after
that can reasonable solutions be weighted against costs and benefits.
Harmonics, i.e. distortion in the voltage and current waveforms, are one of the
factors affecting power quality. Harmonic distortion is caused by non-linear loads
that are e.g. electronic power supplies, converters, arc furnaces and arc welders.
Harmonics may cause maloperation of devices, additional heating in devices and
telecommunication interference. The importance of harmonics is emphasized by the
fact that the amount of equipment generating harmonics constantly increases. Still,
it should be noticed that the existence of harmonics is not automatically a problem.

 %DFNJURXQGIRUKDUPRQLFV
A periodic distorted waveform can be expressed as a sum of sinusoids. The
waveform can be represented as a sum of pure sine waves in which the frequency of
each sinusoid is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency. This multiple h is
called a harmonic of the fundamental. Harmonics added to the fundamental
frequency can be odd harmonics (the integer multiple h is 3,5,7...) or even harmonics
(where h is 2,4,6...). In Figure 10.2.-1 odd harmonics with the amplitude 0.1 p.u. of
the fundamental are added to the fundamental frequency.

Voltage sources, i.e. generation plants do not generally generate harmonics.


Harmonics are created because of power system non-linearity. Non-linear
components and loads cause distorted currents because of their operational
principles. Distorted currents flow through system impedance causing a voltage
drop for each harmonic. This results in voltage harmonics appearing at the load bus.
The created voltage distortion can be calculated if current harmonics as well as
system frequency response are known. In most cases the system frequency response
is very difficult to determine. Power system is a very large system that contains
many non-linear components. This makes it difficult to precisely predict the effects
of harmonics in different parts of the power system.

 +DUPRQLFVRXUFHV
The most important harmonic sources are basically converters and power supplies
for numerous electrical equipment. This equipment is a source for harmonics, and at
the same time, its operation principles may be very sensitive to harmonics,
especially to voltage harmonics. Still, some devices can be designed to decrease
their characteristic harmonics.

 6LQJOHSKDVHSRZHUVXSSOLHV
A major harmonic concern in commercial buildings is that power supplies for
single-phase electronic equipment will produce too much distortion for the wiring.
Direct current power for modern electronic and microprocessor-based office
equipment is commonly derived from single-phase full-wave diode bridge rectifiers.
Modern technology for single-phase power supplies is based on switch-mode. A
distinctive characteristic of switch-mode power supplies is the very high third-
harmonic content in the current. Other characteristic harmonics are the 5th and 7th
harmonics. Switch-mode power supplies are beginning to find applications in
fluorescent lighting systems. Typical current harmonics and the waveform for a
switch-mode power supply are shown in Figure 10.3.1.-1.

Three-phase electronic power converters differ from single-phase converters mainly
because they do not generate the third harmonic or the third harmonic is quite small.
There are many designs and types of converters for AC or DC drives with different
power ratings. Harmonics may vary significantly between designs and operation
conditions. Still, some examples are given below.

The expressions of cycloconverter current harmonics are complex. They vary as a
function of the frequency ratio of the cycloconverter:

fh = f i ( kq ± 1 ) ± 6nf o
where

IK the harmonic frequency imposed on the AC system


IL the input frequency of the cycloconverter
NQ integers
T pulse number of the converter
IR the output frequency of the cycloconverter
This means that harmonics may vary significantly and interharmonics (non-integer
multiple of fundamental frequency) may also appear. Characteristic harmonics for a
six-pulse cycloconverter are harmonics from fundamental to 2nd, 5th to 7th, and
11th to 13th.

 2WKHUKDUPRQLFVRXUFHV
There are many other harmonic sources in addition to converters and power
supplies. These sources are mainly arching devices like arc furnaces and welding
equipment.
$UFIXUQDFHV
The harmonics produced by electric arc furnaces used for the production of steel are
unpredictable. The steel scrap to be molten is a very non-linear load and thus the
melting arc changes constantly. The arc current may be non-periodic and may
include both harmonics and interharmonics. Still, in most applications, the low-
order harmonics starting with the second and ending with the seventh predominate
the non-integer harmonics. Figure 10.3.3.-1 presents typical harmonics for an arc
furnace during the initial melting period and the refining period. These harmonics

have quite a low percentage magnitude compared to the fundamental component.


Arc furnaces form a large load with fundamental currents of several kA, which
makes arc furnaces a significant harmonic source for the power system.

Other arching devices similar to arc furnaces are arc welding equipment.
6DWXUDEOHGHYLFHV
Equipment in this class includes transformers and other electromagnetic devices
with a steel core, including motors. Harmonics are generated due to the non-linear
magnetising characteristics of the steel. Harmonics are due to exciting current,
which is very rich in harmonics like the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th. Transformers are not
as much a concern as electronic power converters because exciting current is small
compared to the rated full load current. However, their effect will be noticeable
particularly on utility distribution systems that have hundreds of transformers. A
significant increase in triplen harmonic currents is often noticed during the early
morning hours when the load is low and thus the percentage of harmonics compared
to the fundamental is high.
Motors and synchronous generators also exhibit some distortion, although it is
generally of little consequence.

 6\VWHPUHVSRQVHFKDUDFWHULVWLFV
The effect of one or more harmonic sources on a power system will depend primarily
on the frequency response characteristics. The non-linear components described in
section “Harmonic sources” can be represented generally as current sources for
harmonics. Harmonic currents flow through impedance causing harmonic voltages.
Some basic rules for the harmonic current flow are given in this section.
)ORZRIKDUPRQLFFXUUHQWV
Harmonic currents tend to flow from the non-linear loads (harmonic sources)
towards the lowest impedance, usually the utility source. This was shown in Figure
10.2.-2. However, other connected loads provide an alternative path for harmonic
currents. The flow path to be chosen will depend on impedance ratios. This may
result in a situation where a neighbouring load includes harmonics although there
are no harmonic sources in this load branch. Harmonics generated by other load
branches will flow to this branch. This is shown in Figure 10.4.-1.

Transformers essentially isolate the load at higher harmonic frequencies. High-order
harmonics are not passed through transformers. Another effect of the transformers
is the isolation of triplen harmonics due to the transformer winding design. Triplen
harmonics tend to stay trapped into the delta connection and do not show up in the
line currents in the delta side. Some examples for the third harmonic current flow in
transformers are shown in Figure 10.4.-2.

Z\HZ\HFRQQHFWHGWUDQVIRUPHU
These rules about triplen harmonic current in transformers only apply to balanced
loading conditions. When the phases are not balanced, the triplen harmonics may as
well show up where they are not expected.
Figure 10.4.-2 also shows the nature of the third harmonic and neutral line. Third
harmonics in line conductors tend to be in phase with each other. This means that as
currents summarise in neutral connection, the third harmonic in neutral line is three
times the third harmonic in the line conductor. This may result in a too high current
flowing in the neutral conductor.

&DSDFLWRUV
Capacitor banks used for voltage control and power factor correction are the major
components that affect the system frequency response characteristics. Capacitors
can chance the system response to harmonics by creating high impedance or, on the
other hand, low impedance for harmonic currents at some frequencies. This means
that although capacitors are not harmonic sources, they may cause severe harmonic
distortion. On the other hand, capacitors can be used for creating paths with the
lowest impedance for harmonics and applied to filtering of harmonics. The
connection of capacitors may cause resonance conditions that may magnify
harmonic levels.

 (IIHFWVRIKDUPRQLFV
The main effects of voltage and current harmonics within the power system are:
• amplification of harmonic levels resulting from series and parallel resonance
• reduction of efficiency in power generation, transmission and utilisation
• ageing of the insulation of electrical plant components and thus shortening of
their useful life
• equipment maloperation
5HVRQDQFHVDQGFDSDFLWRUV
The presence of capacitors may result in local resonances. Resonance conditions
may lead to excessive harmonic currents and voltages which increase heating and
voltage stress in capacitors. Another area where resonance effects may lead to
component failure is associated with the power line signalling (ripple control) for
load management. In such systems, tuned stoppers (filters) are often used to prevent
the signalling frequency from being absorbed in low impedance elements such as
power factor correction capacitors. Where local resonance exists, excessive
harmonic currents can flow, resulting in damage to the tuning capacitors.
5RWDWLQJPDFKLQHV
A major effect of harmonic voltages and currents in rotating machinery (induction
and synchronous) is increased heating due to iron and copper losses. Harmonic
pairs, such as the fifth and seventh harmonics, have the potential for creating
mechanical oscillations in a turbine-generator or in a motor-load system. Then high-
stress mechanical forces may be developed. A pulsating output torque may affect the
product quality where motor loads are sensitive to torque variations.
7UDQVIRUPHUV
With the exception that harmonics applied to transformers may result in increased
audible noise, the effects of harmonics on these components usually arise from
additional heating. Current harmonics cause an increase in copper losses and stray
flux losses. Voltage harmonics cause an increase in iron losses and stress the
insulation. Additional heating may result in overheating with less than rated load.

Power electronic equipment is susceptible to misoperation caused by harmonic
distortion. This equipment is often dependent upon accurate determination of
voltage zero crossing or other aspects of voltage wave shape. Other types of
electronic equipment may be affected by the transmission of ac supply harmonics
through the equipment power supply or by the magnetic coupling of harmonics into
equipment components. Computers and allied equipment such as programmable
controllers may suffer from erratic data or malfunctions. Malfunctions may in some
cases have serious consequences, for example in medical equipment. Less dramatic
interference may occasionally be observed in radio and television equipment, as
well as in video recorders and audio reproduction systems.
0HWHULQJ
Metering instruments initially calibrated on pure sinusoidal alternating current and
subsequently used on a distorted electricity supply may be prone to error. Both
positive and negative metering errors are possible because error is connected to the
direction of the harmonic flow. In general, the distortion must be severe (>20%)
before significant errors are detected.
7HOHSKRQHLQWHUIHUHQFH
The presence of harmonic currents or voltages in circuitry associated with power
conversion apparatus may produce magnetic and electric fields that will impair the
satisfactory performance of the communication system that, by virtue of its
proximity and susceptibility, may be disturbed.

 $SSOLFDWLRQVIRUKDUPRQLFPHDVXUHPHQWV
Harmonics measurement function blocks can be utilised in applications like
monitoring power quality affected by harmonics, monitoring harmonics in selected
points of the network and locating sources of harmonics.

 3RZHUTXDOLW\DQGKDUPRQLFV
There are several standards and recommendations for acceptable levels of
harmonics in power system. Recommendations for both voltage and current
harmonics can be found for distributed electricity. European Standard EN 50160 and
IEEE Std 1159-1995 are well known references for power quality.
Harmonic measurements can be utilised in several ways in the network. Here a
utility 110/20 kV substation is taken as an example. The substation is shown in
Figure 10.6.1.-1 with measurement points for currents and voltages on 20 kV side.
There are three feeders connected to busbar. Feeders have different types of loads
connected. Load A is generating harmonic currents and load B is a simple motor or
resistive load. In addition, there is a capacitor unit connected to the busbar for
reactive power compensation. This unit could also include load.

Power quality affected by harmonics at the substation can be measured in the
incoming feeder for both voltage harmonics and current harmonics. If individual
feeders are monitored, it should be noticed that measuring the current harmonics
from each feeder is enough. The 20 kV bus voltage is common for all of the feeders.
Measuring the voltage harmonics from all the feeders results in unnecessary
information. Most of the time only the most important feeders (e.g. harmonic
sources) are monitored.

 +DUPRQLFPRQLWRULQJZLWKLQGLYLGXDOORDGVDQGGHYLFHV
Harmonic measurement function blocks can be applied to monitor harmonic levels
on different types of loads and devices. There are several standards for acceptable
harmonic levels with different devices. Recommendations are also given by
equipment manufacturers. Still, it should be noticed that “harmonic protection” with
PQVO3H and PQCU3H is not applicable. These function blocks have a long
measurement delay to update values (minimum 600 ms). Another feature is that all
kinds of spikes and other rapid changes in measured signals are filtered off from
output values. Measurement of interharmonics is not possible.
Some general recommendations for acceptable harmonic levels are the following:
7UDQVIRUPHUV
• current distortion should not exceed 5 percent
0RWRUV
• heat problems begin when voltage distortion reaches approximately 8 percent
(motor unit without drive, harmonics in drive input may be considerably higher
as shown in section “Harmonic sources”)

5(&

&DSDFLWRUV
• voltage limit to 120 percent of peak voltage (with harmonics) -> sum of
individual voltage harmonics <20% with rated fundamental
In case of feeders containing many individual loads and devices, it is difficult to
recommend levels according to specific devices. In such a case, the
recommendations given in standards for power quality can be followed. Then the
harmonics are monitored for the feeder itself, not for the load devices.

 /RFDWLQJVRXUFHVRIKDUPRQLFV
On radial utility distribution feeders and industrial plant power systems, the main
tendency is for harmonic currents to flow from the harmonic producing load (Load
A in Figure 10.6.1.-1) to the power system source (towards 110 kV incoming). The
impedance of the power system is normally the lowest impedance seen by the
harmonic currents.
There are factors that may alter the path for at least one harmonic. These factors were
discussed in section “Harmonic sources”. Transformers may block some harmonics,
power factor correction capacitors may provide paths for higher-order harmonics,
and there may be harmonic filters.
To locate the harmonic source (Load A), harmonic currents in all feeders, including
the incoming feeder, should be measured. These results should be checked against
each other. The harmonic source is the one containing the largest amount of
harmonics. It may also be useful to check the harmonic flow while the power factor
capasitances are not connected. In this situation, paths for harmonics should be
decreased and locating the sources of harmonics should be easier.

 +DUPRQLFILOWHUSHUIRUPDQFHPRQLWRULQJ
Harmonic filters are designed to catch harmonic currents produced by harmonic
sources. There can be filters for a single harmonic component or filter banks for
several harmonic components, like the 5th, 7th, 11th and 13th harmonics. The
current harmonic measurement function block can be utilised to evaluate how well
the harmonic components are caught into the filters. In case of a filter bank designed
to catch several harmonic components, the connection of the filter bank to the
system may lead to a situation where uncharacteristic (mostly even) harmonic
components are created. These uncharacteristic harmonics may have unwanted
effects on the system performance and the filter bank. Even though the level of
uncharacteristic harmonics is low and negligible after installation, the harmonic
levels may be considerably magnified due to the ageing of capacitors in the filter
bank.
