1 Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The traditional electromagnetic transformers are widely applied in present power grid. But the
wiring modes of the traditional electromagnetic transformers have many disadvantages, and
mainly include following aspects.
1. The wiring modes of the traditional electromagnetic transformers are very complicated, and
many electrical cables are applied, which makes the maintenance is not so easy.
2. The signals (secondary voltages, secondary currents and binary signals etc.) are easy to be
disturbed by external electromagnetic environment in traditional substations or power plants.
In recent years, as the rapid development of the electronic technology and optical communication
technology, the traditional electrical cables are replaced by the optical fibers for transmitting the
signals (voltages, secondary currents and binary signals etc.). The advantages of this method
include following aspects.
1. The optical signals are not disturbed by external electromagnetic environment, so the system
has strong capability for resisting the external electromagnetic disturbance.
2. The adoption of the optical fibers can save the electrical cables greatly, and make the system
be easy to wire and maintain.
The PCS-221G is a merging unit (MU) for traditional electromagnetic transformers. This device is
suitable for mounted near to the traditional primary equipment. It can sample the AC analog values
locally, and then it can transmit these sampled values (SV) to the protection devices, the bay
control unit (BCU) devices or the electric meters through optical communication channels which
are based on the IEC61850-9-2 protocol or IEC60044-8 protocol.

3 Operation Theory
The PCS-221G is a merging unit (MU) for traditional electromagnetic transformers. This device
can locally sample the AC analog values and synchronize these values, and then it can transmit
these sampled values (SV) to the protection devices, the bay control unit (BCU) devices or the
electric meters through optical communication channels which are based on the IEC61850-9-2
protocol or IEC60044-8 protocol.
The following sections detail the theory of this merging unit.

The PCS-221G can locally sample 12 AC analog values: 5 currents for protection, 3 currents for
metering and 4 voltages. It also can receive voltage values from a busbar MU, and support the
voltage transfer function.
The sampled frequency is 4kHz, and the output sampled value codes of the currents and voltages
are as below: the rated voltage code is “2D41H”, the rated current code for protection is “01CFH”,
and the rated current code for metering is “2D41H”.
3.2 Voltage Transfer Function
This merging unit can provide the voltage transfer function if the voltage transfer function is
selected according to the technique contract. There are two methods for realizing the voltage
transfer function.

Date: 2012-01-19
3 Operation Theory
In the first method, this device can detect the disconnector positions through the GOOSE
communication or the local binary inputs, and get two groups of busbar voltages from a busbar MU
through the IEC60044-8 communication. Then this device will transfer the voltages according to
the disconnector positions and output the selected active voltages.
The demonstration of the first method of the voltage transfer function is shown in Figure 3.2-1.

8.7 Electrical Installation and Wiring
8.7.1 Grounding Guidelines

Switching operations in HV installations generate transient over voltages on control signal cables.
There is also a background of electromagnetic RF fields in electrical installations that can induce
spurious currents in the devices themselves or the leads connected to them.
All these influences can influence the operation of electronic apparatus.
On the other hand, electronic apparatus can transmit interference that can disrupt the operation of
other apparatus.
In order to minimize these influences as far as possible, certain standards have to be observed
with respect to grounding, wiring and screening.
NOTE! All these precautions can only be effective if the station ground is of good quality.
8.7.2 Cubicle Grounding

The cubicle must be designed and fitted out such that the impedance for RF interference of the
ground path from the electronic device to the cubicle ground terminal is as low as possible.

Date: 2012-01-19
8 Installation
Metal accessories such as side plates, blanking plates etc., must be effectively connected
surface-to-surface to the grounded frame to ensure a low-impedance path to ground for RF
interference. The contact surfaces must not only conduct well, they must also be non-corroding.
NOTE! If the above conditions are not fulfilled, there is a possibility of the cubicle or parts
of it forming a resonant circuit at certain frequencies that would amplify the transmission
of interference by the devices installed and also reduce their immunity to induced
interference.
Movable parts of the cubicle such as doors (front and back) or hinged equipment frames must be
effectively grounded to the frame by three braided copper strips (see Figure 8.7-1).
The metal parts of the cubicle housing and the ground rail are interconnected electrically
conducting and corrosion proof. The contact surfaces shall be as large as possible.
NOTE! For metallic connections please observe the voltage difference of both materials
according to the electrochemical code.
The cubicle ground rail must be effectively connected to the station ground rail by a grounding strip
(braided copper).
Figure 8.7-1 Cubicle grounding system
8.7.3 Ground Connection on the Device

There is a ground terminal on the rear panel (see Figure 8.7-2), and the ground braided copper
strip can be connected with it. Take care that the grounding strip is always as short as possible.
The main thing is that the device is only grounded at one point. Grounding loops from unit to unit
are not allowed.
There are some ground terminals on some connectors of this device, and the sign is “GND”. All the
ground terminals are connected in the cabinet of this device. So, the ground terminal on the rear

High frequency currents are produced by interference in the ground connections and because of
skin effect at these frequencies, only the surface region of the grounding strips is of consequence.
The grounding strips must therefore be of (preferably tinned) braided copper and not round copper
conductors, as the cross-section of round copper would have to be too large.
Proper terminations must be fitted to both ends (press/pinch fit and tinned) with a hole for bolting
them firmly to the items to be connected.
The surfaces to which the grounding strips are bolted must be electrically conducting and
non-corroding.
The following figure shows the ground strip and termination.
