1 Model general description
The ABB REG 216 is a modular relay and the number and the type of the protective functions can be defined by the customer
by configuring the relay software. The ABB REG 216 PowerFactory relay model has been implemented trying to mock up the
more common protective functions used in a typical large generator protection scheme.

The ABB REG 216 PowerFactory relay model consists of a main relay model and 8 subrelays:

- REG 216 overcurrent (F50/51)

- REG 216 voltage elements (F27/59)
- REG 216 frequency (F81)
- REG 216 reverse power (F32)
- REG 216 differential (F87)
- REG 216 underimpedance (F21)
- REG 216 underreactance (F40)
- REG 216 Pole slip

The main relay contains the measurement and acquisition units, the output logic and all other subrelays:

1.1 Measurement and acquisition

1.1.1 Available Units

The voltage and the current are measured by two current transformers (“Ct” and “Neutral Ct” blocks) and one voltage
transformer (”Vt” block). Two additional current transformers are used by the differential elements: the “Remote Ct” block
represents the Cts located at the generator/motor ground terminals. The “Remote Ct Transf” block represents the Cts located at
the CSU transformer terminals.

Six measurement units (“Measure”, “Delta Measure” , “Measurement Seq”, “Meas Neutral I”, “Remote Measurement” and
“Remote Measurement Transf” blocks) are fed by these CTs and the VT.

1.1.2 Functionality
The input signals are sampled at 12 samples/cycle; a DFT filter operating over a cycle calculates then the voltage and current
values used by the protective elements.

1.1.3 Data Input

Please note that the nominal current and the nominal voltage values MUST be entered in all the measurement units.

ABB REG 216 Power Factory V001 Relay model description 5

1.2 Output logic

1.2.1 Available Units

The output logic is implemented by the “Logic” block.

1.2.2 Functionality
This block is operating the breaker. Please disable the “Logic” block to disable the relay model ability to open the power circuit.

The signal operating the breaker is “yout”. Eleven additional output signals (“OUT1”… “OUT11”) freely configurable are
available.

Please notice that in the underreactance elements the “Replica impedance” and the “offset impedance” impedance values must
be calculated from the relay “XA-Setting” and “XB-Setting” setting value and must be inserted in secondary Ohm instead of pu
(“UN/IN”). For this reason very large secondary Ohm ranges have been set.
