1 Introduction

1 Introduction

1.1 Application
PCS-222B-I is an intelligent terminal used to control primary switching device (including circuit
breaker and main transformer) of 220kV and above digital substation. It supports realtime GOOSE
communication, and can realize phase-segregated or three-phase tripping and closing of circuit
breakers and switches by matching protection and BCU. It can locally acquire binary signals of
primary equipment such as breakers and switches at the same time. It can meet the requirement
of GOOSE tripping by P2P mode.

This device has been subject to strict high/low temperature and EMC tests, and has proved to be
able to be service in outdoor environment. The panel specially designed for outdoor operation has
its various technical indices satisfying outdoor installation, i.e. protection against damp, heat, dust,
water, and radiation.

PCS-222B-I is equipped with the following advantage:

1. Simplify on-site connection wiring and decrease the cost of cables

2. Improve the anti-interference capacity due to signal transmission adopting optical fibre mode

3. Provide alarm signal of channel link failure

1.2 Functions
This device receives tripping, closing and blocking signals of breakers or switches issued by
protection device or BCU via GOOSE network, and then converts them to corresponding output
contact outputs of this device. To control circuit breaker, the tripping and closing contact must be
connected to SWI plug-in module of this device.

SWI plug-in module realizes these functions such as tripping/closing current latching of circuit
breaker, anti-pump and pressure blocking etc. This device can also locally acquire binary status of
primary equipment such as circuit breakers, switches and main transformer body, and can upload
them to protection device and BCU via GOOSE network.

Main functions of this device are as follow:

1. Control function for circuit breakers

 Phase-segregated tripping and closing circuit

 Support GOOSE signal of phase-segregated or three-phase tripping and auto-reclosing


from protection device

 Support GOOSE signal of remote tripping and remote reclosing from BCU

 Seal-in function

 Low pressure supervision

largely reduced.

 This device can receive GOOSE signals of protection tripping/closing, manual closing/tripping
of BCU, and control of disconnecters and earth switch, and output corresponding contacts. It
can acquire and upload positions of breakers/disconnecters/earth switch, and breaker body
signals etc.

 Output operation is fast. Time between receiving GOOSE message and correspoding
operation at output relay is less than 7ms, and this is basically not affacted by GOOSE
network storm.

 Output relays are blocked by fault detector DSP. This can effectively ensure reliability of the
device.

 This device adopts fully enclosed relays which has high impedance and low power
consumption, thus its power consumption and heat dissipation is reduced, which improves the
security of the device.

 The device provides flexible communication modes. It is equiped with 15 independent


GOOSE interfaces and 1 RS-232 commissioning port, and it supports new generation
substation communication standard IEC61850.

Figure 3.2-1 all input signals of closing circuit are converted to phase-segregated closing signals.
Where:

“GOOSE closing A”, “GOOSE closing B”, and “GOOSE closing C” are phase-segregated closing
input signals by GOOSE message, and can be used to match protection devices with self-adaptive
reclosing function.

“GOOSE reclosing” is the reclosing input signal by GOOSE message.

“GOOSE remote closing” is a closing input signal from BCU by GOOSE message.

“Manual closing” is a manual closing input signal from the contact.

“Low closing pressure” is used to monitor pressure of circuit breaker′s control mechanism, it is
from binary input via via optical coupler..

This input is used to generate closing pressure blocking logic. Before manual closing (or remote
closing) signal is valid, if closing pressure is insufficient, the status of “low closing pressure” will be

closing pressure” is “0”, after manual closing (or remote closing) signal is valid, even if closing
pressure is insufficient, the device will not block closing command, to ensure reliable closing.

3.4 Pressure Supervision and Blocking


This device acquires binary input via optical coupler to supervise tripping pressure, closing
pressure, reclosing pressure and switching pressure of CB operation mechanism. If the pressure
is insufficient, corresponding low pressure alarm signal will be generated.

The blocking logic of low tripping pressure is as described in section 3.1.2.

Before tripping signal is valid, if switching pressure or tripping pressure is not sufficient, tripping
signal will be blocked. After tripping signal is valid, even if switching pressure or tripping pressure
is insufficient during tripping, tripping will not be blocked, ensuring reliable tripping.

The blocking logic of low closing pressure is described in section 3.2.1 and section 3.2.2.

Before manual closing signal is valid, if closing pressure is insufficient, manual closing signal will
be blocked. After manual closing signal is valid, even if closing pressure is insufficient during
closing, closing will not be blocked, ensuring reliable closing.

Before closing signal is valid, if switching pressure or tripping pressure is insufficient, closing
signal will be blocked. After closing signal is valid, even if switching pressure or closing pressure is
insufficient during closing, closing will not be blocked, ensuring reliable closing.

Reclosing pressure is not affected by low pressure blocking logic. Only GOOSE message is
transmitted to reclosing device for handling.

Four pressure supervision binary inputs can adopt both normally open contact (NO) and normally
closed contact (NC).

3.5 Block Reclosing


Under the following conditions, this device will generate reclosing blocking signal, transmitted to
reclosing device via GOOSE message.

1. When GOOSE remote tripping signal from BCU is received or binary input of manual tripping
operates, reclosing blocking signal will be generated, and is kept after GOOSE remote
tripping signal or binary input of manual tripping drops off. Reclosing blocking signal will drop
off after GOOSE remote closing signal is received or binary input of manual closing operates,
at which time.

2. GOOSE remote closing signal from BCU is received or binary input of manual closing
operates.

3. GOOSE tripping signal that initiate BFP but not AR and GOOSE three-phase tripping signal
that not initiate BFP and AR from protection device is received or binary input of three-phase
tripping operates.

4. GOOSE reclosing blocking signal from protection device is received or binary input of
reclosing blocking operates.

Binary input of blocking reclosing is described in the figure below.

As shown in Figure 3.5-1, according to duplicated configuration principle, the first set of protection
(including protection device, reclosing device and circuit breaker controller) and the second set of
protection (including protection device, reclosing device and circuit breaker controller) are totally
independent. For circuit breaker controller, on the one hand, “Tripping A/B/C” and “reclosing
blocking” signal transmitted by this set of protection device is received via GOOSE network, and
on the other hand, “reclosing blocking” signal of the other circuit breaker controller is received via
cable wiring. For these two signals, “OR” logic will be performed to form internal flage of “reclosing
blocking” signal, transmitted to local reclosing device and the other circuit breaker controller.

Reclosing blocking logic is shown in Figure 3.5-2.

check if the rated voltage of power supply module is the same as the voltage of power
source before the device being put into service.

PWR module provides terminal 12 and grounding screw for device grounding. Terminal 12
shall be connected to grounding screw and then connected to the earth copper bar of
panel via dedicated grounding wire.

Effective grounding is the most important measure for a device to prevent EMI, so effective
grounding must be ensured before the device is put into service.

PCS-222B-I, like almost all electronic relays, contains electrolytic capacitors. These
capacitors are well known to be subject to deterioration over time if voltage is not applied
periodically. Deterioration can be avoided by powering the relays up once a year.

PWR plug-in module provides four LEDs, and their indication are as below.

6.5.3 BI Plug-in Module


This device is equipped with 4 BI plug-in modules by default, and they are used to acquire status
signal of primary equipment, including breaker position, switch position and breaker tank signals
(including low pressure for reclosing), and these signals are sent to DSP module via internal CAN
bus.

Through BI plug-in modules, all binary signals in the bay can be acquired locally and are sent to
protection device and BCU via GOOSE network. This will save large amount of cables. Each BI
plug-in module can provide 18 binary inputs, the rated work voltage of all binary inputs are the
same (DC 110V/125V/220V/250V). Since A/D sampling mode is adopted to detect the voltage of
binary input, when the voltage is smaller than 60% of rated work voltage, the status of the binary
input will be ensured as “0”. When the voltage is greater than 70% of rated work voltage, the status
of the binary input will be ensured as “1”.

Figure 6.5-10 Seal-in circuit of tripping/closing current

In this figure, terminal 1503 is mechanical three-phase tripping input (TJF), which permits directly
repeat to trip not controlled by CPU. To enhance reliability, TJF is designed with operation power
not less than 5W and operation voltage at 55%~70% of rated operation voltage.

Seal-in current of tripping/closing circuit of each phase can be set according to project

requirements.

The setting method is:

In case no jumper is short-connected, default seal-in current is 0.5A. In case one jumper is
short-connected, based on 0.5A, current of this branch (0.5A, 1A or 2A) shall be added. In case all
jumpers are short-connected, seal-in current setting is 4A. In this way, the seal-in current, from
0.5A to 4A, is very easily realized (at step of 0.5A).

To set seal-in current, just set according to actual tripping/closing current of CB. Actual operation
current of circuit will be 20%~50% of setting current, reserving sufficient margin.

NR1534A is applicable to 220Vdc and NR1534B is applicable to 110Vdc.

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.

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).

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
panel (see Figure 8.7-2) is the only ground terminal of this device.

8.7.4 Grounding Strips and their Installation


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.
