Chapter 3 Operation Theory


The RCS-9622CN transformer management relay is a microprocessor based relay designed for
the protection of the substation-used and grounding transformers. Some protective functions, fault
diagnostic function and uplink communication function are supported in this relay.

Voltage, current, and power metering is built into the relay as a standard feature. Current
parameters are available as total waveform RMS magnitude, or as fundamental frequency only
RMS magnitude and angle.

Diagnostic features include a sequence of records capable of storing 256 time-tagged events. The
disturbance records also can be captured during a system fault. The internal clock used for
time-tagging can be synchronized with a PPS signal and via the communication protocol over a
RS-485 port or an Ethernet port; it also can be synchronized with an IRIG-B signal. This precise
time stamping allows these records to be determined throughout the system. These tools
significantly reduce troubleshooting time and simplify report generation in the event of a system
fault.

Two rear RS-485 ports and two rear Ethernet ports allow independent access by operating and
engineering staff. All the ports use the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol. The RS-485 ports may be
connected to the supervisory system with baud rates up to 38.4 kbps, and the Ethernet ports has
100Mbit/s transmission rate. A rear RS-232 port is used to connect to an EPSON® LQ-300K serial
printer.

3.1 Fault Detectors

The fault detector operates if any of the following conditions is satisfied.

1. The maximum phase differential current is in excess of the setting of differential pick-up
current, all the currents and the pick-up setting are already calculated as pre unit values
(DImax> I_PcntDiff).

2. Any one of phase currents is in excess of the setting of the stage 1 of overcurrent protection
multiplied by 0.95 at HV side of the transformer, on condition that the stage 1 of overcurrent
protection is enabled (I>0.95×I_OC1_H).

3. Any one of phase currents is in excess of the setting of the stage 2 of overcurrent protection
multiplied by 0.95 at HV side of the transformer, on condition that the stage 2 of overcurrent
protection is enabled (I>0.95×I_OC2_H).

4. Any one of phase currents is in excess of the setting of the stage 3 of overcurrent protection
multiplied by 0.95 at HV side of the transformer, on condition that the stage 3 of overcurrent
protection is enabled (I>0.95×I_OC3_H).

5. Negative sequence current is in excess of the setting of the stage 1 of negative sequence
overcurrent protection multiplied by 0.95 at HV side of the transformer, on condition that the

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 15


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

stage 1 of negative sequence overcurrent protection is enabled (I2>0.95×I_NegOC1_H).

6. Negative sequence current is in excess of the setting of the stage 2 of negative sequence
overcurrent protection multiplied by 0.95 at HV side of the transformer, on condition that the
stage 2 of negative sequence overcurrent protection is enabled (I2>0.95×I_ NegOC2_H).

7. Zero sequence current is in excess of the setting of the stage 1 of zero sequence overcurrent
protection multiplied by 0.95 at HV side of the transformer, on condition that the stage 1 of
zero sequence overcurrent protection is enabled (I0H>0.95×I_ROC1_H).

8. Zero sequence current is in excess of the setting of the stage 2 of zero sequence overcurrent
protection multiplied by 0.95 at HV side of the transformer, on condition that the stage 2 of
zero sequence overcurrent protection is enabled (I0H>0.95×I_ROC2_H).

9. Zero sequence current is in excess of the setting of the stage 1 of zero sequence overcurrent
protection multiplied by 0.95 at LV side of the transformer, on condition that the stage 1 of zero
sequence overcurrent protection is enabled (I0L>0.95×I_ROC1_L).

10. Zero sequence current is in excess of the setting of the stage 2 of zero sequence overcurrent
protection multiplied by 0.95 at LV side of the transformer, on condition that the stage 2 of zero
sequence overcurrent protection is enabled (I0L>0.95×I_ROC2_L).

11. Any binary input of the mechanical protections is energized (BI_MR1=1, BI_MR2=1,
BI_MR3=1), if the corresponding mechanical protection is enabled.

The FD (Fault Detectors) element will reset to normal operation status in 500ms after the last one
of the above items resets. The following figure shows the logic of fault detector of RCS-9622CN.

3.2 Transformer Current Differential Protection (87T)

3.2.1 Preparation Knowledge

By applying the Ampere-turn balance on different transformer connections, the RCS-9622CN relay
forms the current differential equations.

During the normal operation, the magnitude and angel of secondary currents at each side of
transformer are different due to different CT ratios and different CT connection modes. This kind of
current differentiations shall be eliminated under normal operation and compensated in fact by a
built-in compensation method.

Chapter 3 Operation Theory

3.2.1.1 Calculate the Correction Coefficient of Each Side

Correction coefficient is calculated in program on base of transformer capacity, rated voltage of


each side, CT ratio of each side and connection group of transformer.

For “Y” side of transformer (here HV side is taken as example):

U1n × CT11
K ph1 =
Sn

For “Δ” side of transformer (here LV side is taken as example):

3 × U 2 n × CT21
K ph 2 =
Sn

Where:

U1n is [U1n_H], rated phase-to-phase voltage of HV side of the transformer

U2n is [U1n_L], rated phase-to-phase voltage of LV side of the transformer

CT11 is [I1n_CT _H], primary rated current of the CT at HV side.

CT21 is [I1n_CT _L], primary rated current of the CT at LV side.

Sn is the maximum rated capacity of the transformer.

NOTE: The maximum correction coefficient is 4 for “Y” side, and 4 for “Δ” side. If the

correction coefficient is more than 4, an alarm report “Alm_RatioCorr_CT” will be issued


on the LCD, and this relay will be blocked.

3.2.1.2 Calculate Rated Secondary Current of Each Side

For “Y” side of transformer (here HV side is taken as example):

S n × CT12
I e1 =
U 1n × CT11

For “Δ” side of transformer (here LV side is taken as example):

S n × CT22
I e2 =
3U 2 n × CT21

Where:

Ie1 is rated secondary current of HV side of the transformer.

Ie2 is rated secondary current of LV side of the transformer.

Sn is the maximum rated capacity of the transformer.

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 17


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

U1n is [U1n_H], rated phase-to-phase voltage of HV side of the transformer

U2n is [U1n_L], rated phase-to-phase voltage of LV side of the transformer

CT11 is [I1n_CT _H], primary rated current of the CT at HV side.

CT12 is [I1n_CT _H], secondary rated current of the CT at HV side.

CT21 is [I1n_CT _L], primary rated current of the CT at LV side.

CT22 is [I1n_CT _L], secondary rated current of the CT at LV side.

Then calculate the per unit value of each side and here HV side is taken as an example.

 I a/
 a
I =
 I e1
 I b/
Ib =
 I e1
 I c/
 I c =
 I e1

Where:

I a , I b , I c are phase per unit values of HV side used in differential protection calculation.

I a/ , I b/ , I c/ are actual values of secondary currents of CT of HV side.

I e1 is base value or called rated secondary value of HV side as mentioned above.

Here currents used in differential protection analysis have been corrected, that means the
currents are the products of the actual secondary current of each side being divided by rated
secondary current of each side.

3.2.1.3 Phase Shift Compensation

By defining which particular connection group the protected transformer belongs to, the proper
calculation routine will be applied.

The following transforming method is based on the assumptions listed as below:

l CTs at each side of the transformer are connected in star type.

l Secondary currents of each CT are connected to the equipment directly.

l The positive polarity of CT at each side is at busbar side.

l Polarity of each secondary winding of CT is as same as shown in Figure 9.8-1.

l All currents used are based on per unit value.

The secondary current phase shift compensation for all CTs are achieved by software, “Y→Δ”
transform method is used for this purpose. For “Y/Δ-11” connection, the correction equations are

18 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

as follows:

For “Y” side:

 •' • •

 I A = ( I A − I B)

 ' • •
I B = ( I B − I C )
 •' • •
 I C = ( I C − I A)

For “Δ” side:

• ' •
 I• a = I a
 ' •
I• b = I b
 ' •
I c = Ic

Where:

• • •
I A , I B , I C are the secondary per unit currents of CT of side Y.
• • •
I ' A , I ' B , I ' C are the corrected per unit currents of each phase of side Y.
• • •
I a , I b , I c are the secondary per unit currents of CT of side Δ.
• • •
I ' a , I ' b , I ' c are the corrected per unit currents of each phase of side Δ.

For other connection type,the current can be calculated referring to the equations listed above.
The connection type can be selected by the setting [Opt_Conn].

NOTE: If your actual transformer connection type is not included in setting list, please let

us know before you make the order.

3.2.2 Percentage Differential Protection

Following analysis is based on the assumption that amplitude and phase shift compensation have
been done.

The percentage differential protection is used to distinguish that the differential current is caused
by unbalanced output or fault (internal fault and special external fault).

The operation criteria of this percentage differential protection are:

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 19


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

I d > I cdqd ( I r ≤ 0.5I e )


I > K b1 ( I r − 0.5 I e ) + I cdqd (0.5 I e ≤ I r ≤ 3I e )
 d
I d > ( I r − 3I e ) + K b1 × 2.5I e + I cdqd ( I r > 3I e )

I r = 0.5( I1 + I 2 )
 • •
I d = I1+ I 2

Where:

“Ie” is the rated current of the transformer.


“Icdqd” is the pickup setting of the percentage differential protection, which is also the threshed
setting of the percentage differential protection [I_PcntDiff].

“Icdqd” is the pickup setting of the instantaneous differential protection, which is also the
threshed setting of the instantaneous differential protection [I_InstDiff].

“Id” is the differential current, “Ir” is the restraint current.

“Kbl” is percentage differential restraint coefficient [Slope_PcntDiff].

“K” is the multiple of restraint current at second slope and is fixed at 3.

“Ii” (i = 1, 2) is the current at each side of the transformer.

Figure 3.2-1 shows general operation characteristic of this percentage differential protection.

Figure 3.2-1 Operation characteristic of steady state percentage differential protection

3.2.3 Unrestrained Instantaneous Differential Protection


The aim of unrestrained instantaneous differential protection for transformer is to accelerate the
trip speed for transformer’s inner fault. So the protection doesn’t need any block element, but the
setting should be greater than maximum inrush current.

The operation of unrestrained differential element in this relay shall trip all breakers at all sides of
transformer when any phase differential current is higher than its setting. Its operation criterion is:

20 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

| I dΦ max |> [ I _ InstDiff ]

Where:

“IdΦmax” is the maximum value of the three phase differential currents.

“I_InstDiff” is the setting of the unrestrained instantaneous differential protection.

3.2.4 Inrush Current Detection Element


In the relay, the second harmonic of differential current can be used to distinguish inrush current.
The operation criterion is:

I d 2Φ max > K 2 xb × I dΦ max

Where:

“Id2Φmax” is the maximum second harmonic of the three phase differential currents.

“IdΦmax” is the fundamental component of corresponding differential current.

“K2xb” is the setting of restraint coefficient of second harmonic [k_2rdH_PcntDiff].

3.2.5 Instantaneous CT Failure Detection and Blocking Scheme

The instantaneous CT failure detection is realized during fault calculation program. When anyone
of the three following criteria is satisfied, this function isn’t in service at the corresponding side.

(1) The maximum phase current is less than 0.2×Ie before the differential fault detector picks up.

(2) The maximum phase current is more than 1.2×Ie after the differential fault detector picks up.

(3) The current after pick-up is more than the current before pick-up.

NOTE: The instantaneous CT failure detection only will be in service, after the

percentage differential protection is put into operation and picks up.

If the current of any side of the transformer satisfies with the two following criteria at the same time,
when the percentage differential protection picks up, this relay will issue an alarm [Alm_CTS].

(1) Only one phase current is less than 0.06×Ie.

(2) Other two phases currents equal to the corresponding currents before pick-up respectively.

A setting “Opt_CTS_Diff” is used to decide to block the percentage differential protection. If it is set
as “1”, the percentage differential protection will be block when the instantaneous CT failure is
detected.

The CT failure supervision with time delay is described in Section 4.2.8 “CT Failure Supervision”,
and the percentage differential protection will not be blocked in this situation.

3.3 Zero Sequence Differential Protection

A zero sequence differential protection is equipped for one side of the transformer. It is suggested
that the zero sequence differential protection should be enabled after passing through short-circuit
test or external-fault test.

The zero sequence currents for the REF protection is composed of the calculated zero sequence
current and the zero sequence current derived from zero sequence CT at neutral point. The CT
polarity is at busbar side and the zero sequence CT is at transformer side.

3.3.1 Zero Sequence Percentage Differential Protection

The operation criteria of the zero sequence percentage differential protection are as follows:

Chapter 3 Operation Theory

I 0d > I 0cdqd ( I od ≤ 0.5 I e )


I > K 0bl × I 0 r (0.5 I e ≤ I od ≤ I 0cdsd )
 0d
I 0r = max{ I 01 , I 0n }
 • •
I 0d = I 01 + I 0 n


Where:

“I0l” is calculated zero sequence currents of side 1.


“I0n” is zero sequence current of the zero sequence CT at neural point.
“I0cdqd” is the pickup setting of the percentage REF protection, which is also the threshed
setting of the percentage REF protection [I_PcntREF].
“I0cdsd” is the pick up setting of the instantaneous REF protection, which is also the threshed
setting of the instantaneous REF protection [I_InstREF].
“I0d” is zero-sequence differential current.
“I0r” is zero-sequence restraint current.

“K0bl” is the setting of percentage restraint coefficient of zero sequence percentage differential
protection [Slope_PcntREF]. “K0bl” is set as “0.5” that is recommended.

Following figure shows operation characteristic of this unrestrained instantaneous zero-sequence


percentage differential protection.

Figure 3.3-1 Operating characteristic of restricted earth fault protection

3.3.2 Difference of CT Transient Characteristics and Its Effect

Difference of transient characteristic and saturation of various CT will result in erroneous zero
sequence current in differential scheme during external three-phase short circuit fault. In order to
eliminate its effect, positive sequence current restraint blocking criterion and CT saturation
criterion are used. Positive sequence current restraint principle can be expressed as following:

I 0 > β 0 × I1

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 23


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

Where:

“I0” is the zero sequence current at relevant side.

“I1” is the corresponding positive sequence current at the same side.

“β0” is a proportional coefficient.

3.3.3 Zero Sequence Differential CT Abnormality

If the zero sequence differential current of the equipped side is more than its alarm setting
[I_Alm_REF] and lasts longer than 10s, alarm of zero sequence differential CT circuit abnormality
will be issued without the relevant protection being blocked.

The logic diagram of the zero sequence differential protection is shown as below.

3.4 Overcurrent Protection

3.4.1 Three-stage Overcurrent Protection (51P)


The overcurrent protection of HV side in this relay provides three-stage none-directional
three-phase overcurrent protection with independent definite time delay characteristics. Each
stage can be enabled/disabled by scheme logic settings independently. All overcurrent, voltage
controlled settings apply to all three phases but are independent for each of the three stages.
Setting the relevant settings can enable or disable the corresponding protection.

The stage 1 and stage 2 of overcurrent protection have the same protective functional logic. Two
voltage controlled elements can be applied with the stage 1 and stage 2 of overcurrent element
respectively to be voltage controlled overcurrent protections.

When the stage 3 of overcurrent protection is used as regular definite time overcurrent protection,
it has the same protective functional logic with other stages of overcurrent protection, but it hasn’t
a voltage controlled element; when it is used as inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) overcurrent
protection, it has a different protective functional logic with other stages of overcurrent protection.

The functional logic diagram for the stage 1 of overcurrent protection is shown as bellow. The
overcurrent block is a level detector that detects that the current magnitude is above the threshold.

24 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

Figure 3.4-1 Logic diagram for the stage 1 overcurrent protection of HV side

The stage 2 of overcurrent protection has the same logic diagrams with the stage 1 of overcurrent
protection, but the operation threshold is [I_OC2_H]. The stage 3 of overcurrent protection is used
as definite time overcurrent protection without voltage controlled element, and the operation
threshold is [I_OC3_H].

3.4.2 Voltage Controlled Overcurrent Protection (51V)

If the current seen by a local relay for a remote fault condition is below its overcurrent setting, a
voltage controlled overcurrent (VCO) element may be used to increase the relay sensitivity to such
faults. In this case, a reduction in system voltage will occur; this may then be used to reduce the
pick up level of the overcurrent protection. The VCO function can be selectively enabled on the
first two stages of the main overcurrent element, which was described in Section 3.4.1
“Three-stage Overcurrent Protection”. When VCO is enabled, the overcurrent setting can be
modified just to be in excess of the maximum value of load current.

Element Voltage for controlling


Ia> Uab< or Uca< or U2>
Ib> Ubc< or Uab< or U2>
Ic> Uca< or Ubc< or U2>

Note that voltage dependent overcurrent relays are more often applied in practical protection
applications in order to give adequate overcurrent relay sensitivity for close up fault conditions.
The fault characteristic of this protection must then coordinate with any of the downstream
overcurrent relays that are responsive to the current decrement condition. It therefore follows that
if the RCS-9622CN relay is to be applied in a generator station, the use of voltage controlled
overcurrent protection in this relay may allow better coordination with the VCO relay on the
generator.

For the operation accuracy of the VCO protection, it is necessary to take the status of the voltage

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 25


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

transformer into account. If the voltage transformer has an error in it, the numerical relay will issue
an “Alm_VTS” signal and de-energize all the elements that relate to the voltage measurement.

The functional logic diagram for the voltage controlled overcurrent protection is shown in Figure
3.4-2. The detailed functional logic diagram for the voltage controlled element of phase A is shown
as bellow. The logic diagrams for voltage controlled element of other two phases can be gotten on
the analogy of this.

Figure 3.4-2 Logic diagram for the voltage controlled element of phase A

3.4.3 Inverse Definite Minimum Time Overcurrent Protection

The stage 3 overcurrent protection of HV side also can be used as inverse definite minimum time
(IDMT) overcurrent protection.

Various methods are available to achieve correct relay coordination on a system; by means of time
alone, current alone or a combination of both time and current. Grading by means of current is
only possible where there is an appreciable difference in fault level between the two relay
locations. Grading by time is used by some utilities but can often lead to excessive fault clearance
times at or near source substations where the fault level is highest. For these reasons the most
commonly applied characteristic in coordinating overcurrent relays is the IDMT type.

The inverse time delayed characteristics comply with the following formula (based on IEC60255-4
standard).

β
t= TP
( I / I p )α − 1

Where:

β = Constant

α = Constant

t = Operation time

I = Measured current

Ip is the current threshold setting; the current setting of the stage 3 overcurrent of HV side
(I_OC3_H) is used as the Ip in this relay.

26 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

Tp is the time multiplier setting; the time delay setting of the stage 3 overcurrent of HV side
(t_OC3_H) is used as Tp in this relay.

Three types of IDMT characteristic curves are applied in this relay. The setting “Opt_InvOC_H”
can be used to select the expected curve (see Section 7.3 “Protection Settings”).

Opt_InvOC Curve Name β α


1 Standard Inverse 0.14 0.02
2 Very Inverse 13.5 1
3 Extremely Inverse 80 2

If the IDMT overcurrent protection of HV side is expected, the settings “En_InvOC_H” and
“En_OC3_H” must be set as “1”, and this protection will be enabled.

The functional logic diagram for the IDMT overcurrent protection of HV side is shown as bellow.
The overcurrent block is a level detector that detects that the current magnitude is above the
threshold.

Figure 3.4-3 Logic diagram for the IDMT and stage 3 overcurrent protection

3.5 Two Stage Negative Sequence Overcurrent Protection (51Q)

This relay provides two-stage negative sequence overcurrent protection with independent definite
time delay characteristics for the HV side. Each stage can be enabled/disabled by scheme logic
settings independently.

The functional logic diagram for the stage 1 of negative sequence overcurrent protection is shown
as bellow. The overcurrent block is a level detector that detects that the current magnitude is
above the threshold.

Figure 3.5-1 Logic diagram for the stage 1 negative sequence overcurrent protection

The stage 2 of negative sequence overcurrent protection has the same logic diagrams with the
stage 1 of negative sequence overcurrent protection, but the operation threshold is
[I_NegOC2_H].

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 27


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

3.6 Thermal Overload Protection (49)

The relay incorporates a current based thermal replica, using rms load current to model heating
and cooling of the protected plant. The element only can be set to issue alarm signal.

The heat generated within an item of plant, such as a cable or a transformer, is the resistive loss
(Ι2R x t). Thus, heating is directly proportional to current squared. The thermal time characteristic
used in the relay is therefore based on current squared, integrated over time. The relay
automatically uses the largest phase current for input to the thermal model.

Equipment is designed to operate continuously at a temperature corresponding to its full load


rating, where heat generated is balanced with heat dissipated by radiation etc. Over-temperature
conditions therefore occur when currents in excess of rating are allowed to flow for a period of
time.

The functional logic diagram for the thermal overload protection is shown as bellow. The overload
block is a level detector that detects that the current magnitude is above the threshold.

Figure 3.6-1 Logic diagram for the thermal overload protection

3.7 Earth Fault Protection for HV Side (64HV)

The relay provides two-stage zero sequence overcurrent protection (51G) for the earth fault of the
HV side of the transformer.

3.7.1 Two Stage Zero Sequence Overcurrent Protection (51G)


One input current transformer is dedicated to the earth fault protection of HV side. The input CT is
designed specially to operate at low current magnitudes.

When the equipment is used in non-effective grounding or small current grounding system, the
grounding zero sequence current during ground fault is basically small capacitive current. Correct
selection of faulty phase in zero sequence protection could not be ensured by detection of such
current. Since all protection equipment are connected with each other via network and information
resource could be shared in RCS-9000 substation automation system, so the faulty equipment
could be decided firstly by related information from various equipments on same bus and then
decided finally by trial tripping of the breaker of equipment having been selected. Zero sequence
current has to be led from a zero sequence current transformer in this case.

When the equipment is used in small resistance grounding system, the grounding zero sequence
current during ground fault is larger and could be used for tripping directly. Two stages are

28 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

equipped for the zero sequence current protection. The zero sequence current for tripping in this
case could be that led from a zero sequence current transformer.

All the two stages of the zero sequence overcurrent protection have definite time characteristics.
The following figure shows the operating process of definite time overcurrent characteristics of the
two stages.

Figure 3.7-1 Logic diagram for the zero sequence overcurrent protection of HV side

If the setting “En_ROC2_H” is set as “0”, the stage 2 zero sequence overcurrent protection also
can only issue an alarm signal “Alm_ROC_H”, but not issue a tripping signal. Otherwise, the stage
2 zero sequence overcurrent protection can issue a tripping signal.

3.8 Earth Fault Protection for LV Side (64LV)

The relay provides two-stage zero sequence overcurrent protection (51G) for the earth fault of the
LV side of the transformer. The stage 2 zero sequence overcurrent protection can be set with
IDMT characteristic.

3.8.1 Two Stage Zero Sequence Overcurrent Protection (51G)

One input current transformer is dedicated to the earth fault protection of LV side. The input CT is
designed specially to operate at low current magnitudes.

The function of this protection is just like the zero sequence overcurrent protection for the HV side,
the following figure shows the operating process of definite time overcurrent characteristics of the
two stages.

Figure 3.8-1 Logic diagram for the zero sequence overcurrent protection of LV side

3.8.2 Zero Sequence IDMT Overcurrent Protection

The stage 2 zero sequence overcurrent protection can be set with IDMT characteristic, when the
setting “En_InvROC_L” is set as “1”.

The inverse time delayed characteristic of this protection is same as the IDMT overcurrent
protection (see Section 3.4.3 “Inverse Definite Minimum Time Overcurrent Protection”).

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 29


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

If the IDMT overcurrent protection of HV side is expected, the settings “En_InvROC_L” and
“En_ROC2_L” must be set as “1”, and this protection will be enabled.

The functional logic diagram for the zero sequence IDMT overcurrent protection of LV side is
shown as bellow. The overcurrent block is a level detector that detects that the current magnitude
is above the threshold.

Figure 3.8-2 Logic diagram for the zero sequence IDMT overcurrent protection

3.9 Overcurrent Blocking Protection

If the circuit breaker don’t have enough capacity to close or trip, or a fuse circuit is equipped as the
overcurrent protection, the overcurrent blocking protection can be put into service.

If the fault current is above the threshold of this element, the tripping output function of this relay
will be blocked at once, and a signal “Op_OC_Blk_Prot” will be issued at the same time. If the fault
current is under the threshold for more than 100ms, the overcurrent blocking protection will reset
and the tripping output function of this relay will be in service again.

3.10 Mechanical Protection

This relay provides three special binary inputs for mechanical (non-electricity) protection. If the
relay detects one of the energized inputs for a defined time delay, the relay will issue a tripping
signal or an alarm signal, which is decided by the relevant setting.

The first two mechanical protections can issue a tripping signal or an alarm signal, a relevant
setting is used to select the output signal respectively.

The logic diagram of the mechanical protection is shown in following figure.

Chapter 4 Supervision, Metering and Control

Chapter 4 Supervision, Metering and Control

4.1 Overview

Though the protection system is in non-operating state under normal conditions, it is waiting for a
power system fault to occur at any time and must operate for the fault without fail. When the
equipment is in energizing process before the LED “HEALTHY” is on, the equipment needs to be
checked to ensure there are no errors. Therefore, the automatic supervision function, which
checks the health of the protection system when startup and during normal operation, plays an
important role.

The numerical relay based on the microprocessor operations is suitable for implementing this
automatic supervision function of the protection system.

In case a fatal fault is detected during automatic supervision, the equipment will be blocked out. It
means that relay is out of service. Therefore you must re-energize the relay or even replace a
module to make relay back into service.

The relay also provides some auxiliary functions, such as disturbance data record, on-line data
metering, real-time power calculation etc. All these make the relay meet the demands of the
modern power grid requirements.

4.2 Relay Self-supervision

4.2.1 Relay Hardware Supervision


The DSP, RAM, ROM chips on the CPU module are monitored to ensure whether they are
damaged or have some errors. If any one of them is detected damaged or having error, the
equipment will be blocked and issues alarm signal [Alm_Fail]. The LED indicator “HEALTHY” will
be extinguished.

4.2.2 DC Supply Supervision


The secondary voltage level of the built-in DC/DC converter is monitored and checked whether the
DC voltage is within a prescribed range.

If a failure is detected in the DC power supply circuit, the alarm signal [Alm_Pwr] will be issued and
the relay will be blocked. The LED indicator “HEALTHY” will be extinguished.

4.2.3 Output Tripping Circuit Supervision

Chips controlling the output relays in the output circuit are continually monitored. If any error or
damage is detected in these chips, the alarm signal [Alm_Trpout] will be issued and the relay will
be blocked. The LED indicator “HEALTHY” will be extinguished.

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 31


Chapter 4 Supervision, Metering and Control

4.2.4 Setting Supervision


This relay has 8 setting groups, while only one is active at the same time. The settings of active
setting group are checked to ensure they are reasonable. If the settings are checked to be invalid,
the alarm signal [Alm_Setting] will be issued and this equipment will be blocked at the same time.
The LED indicator “HEALTHY” will be extinguished.

4.2.5 Control Circuit Supervision


If the relay detects that the 52b (TWJ) contact position and the 52a (HWJ) contact position are off
at the same time for more than 3 seconds, the alarm signal [Alm_CtrlCir] will be issued and the
LED indicator “ALARM” will be lit.

4.2.6 TWJ (52b) Contact Supervision


If the relay detects that the TWJ (52b) contact position is on, i.e., the value of “BI_52b” is 1 in the
submenu BI STATE, meanwhile any phase current is more than 0.06In, and this condition lasts
more than 10 seconds, the alarm signal [Alm_52b] will be issued and the LED indicator “ALARM”
will be lit.

4.2.7 VT Circuit Supervision


The voltage transformer supervision (VTS) feature is used to detect failure of the AC voltage
inputs to the relay.

The VTS logic in the relay is designed to detect the voltage failure and automatically adjust the
configuration of protective elements whose stability would otherwise be compromised. A
time-delay alarm output is also available.

The VTS feature within the relay operates on detection of

(1) negative phase sequence (NPS) voltage is in excess of 8V or

(2) positive phase sequence (PPS) voltage is less than 30V with the presence of current of any
phase (I.e., any of the phase current is in excess of 0.06In ).

This gives operation for the loss of voltages. Stability of the VTS function is assured during system
fault conditions, by the presence of any pickup element.

Repeated here, the criteria of VTS Element:

(1) U1<30V and any of phase current is greater than 0.06In

(2) U2>8V

That any of these two conditions is satisfied means the VT is in abnormal status. For 10s delay, VT
alarm is issued. When the VT status returns to normal condition, the alarm will be restored
automatically 10s later.

In case VT circuit is failure, protection elements dependent on voltage will be blocked.

The logic diagram of the VTFS element is shown as below.

32 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 4 Supervision, Metering and Control

Figure 4.2-1 Logic diagram of the VTFS element

4.2.8 CT Failure Supervision

The main purpose of the current transformer (CT) circuit failure supervision function is to detect
faults in the secondary circuits of CT and avoid influence on the operation of corresponding
protection functions. This CT failure supervision (CTFS) function will be processed all the time,
whether general fault detection picks up or not.

The criteria of CTS element are:

(1) Anyone of the phase differential current is more than the CT alarm setting [I_SensCTS_Diff];

(2) The negative differential current is greater than the threshold:

dI 2 > α + β × dI max

Where:

“dI2” is the negative differential current;

“α” is a fixed threshold;

“β” is a reliable coefficient;

“dImax” is maximum phase differential current.

In normal operation program of the equipment, if a CT failure is detected, the alarm signal
[Alm_SensCTS] will be issued and the LED indicator “ALARM” will illuminate.

In case the CT circuit is failure, relevant protection elements will not be blocked.

The logic diagram of the CTFS element is shown as below.

Chapter 4 Supervision, Metering and Control

4.3 Metering

The relay produces a variety of both directly and calculated power system quantities. These
measurement values are updated on a per second basis and can be viewed in the submenu
“METERING” (in menu “VALUES”) of the relay or via relay communication.

This relay is able to measure and display the following quantities as summarized:

l phase to phase voltage

l phase current

l zero sequence current

l active and reactive power, power factor

The measurands include UAB, UBC, UCA, IA, IC, I0, P, Q and COSΦ etc. These measurands are
gotten by real-time calculation and real-time summation locally. Active and reactive power
calculation eliminates error due to unbalance of the system voltage. This calculation is
independent with network. Its accuracy is 0.5%.

All these measurands also can transmit to the SAS or RTU through communication. More
information about the communication and protocols, see Chapter 8 “Communication”.

4.4 Remote Control

The relay can receive the remote control commands to trip or close the circuit breaker. At most
three groups telecontrol output relays can be configured and at least one.

Before executing a telecontrol command, it is necessary to put the telecontrol handle at the
“Remote” position and make the value of “BI_TeleCtrl” as 1 in the submenu “BI STATE”.

The remote control commands include remote tripping command, remote closing command etc.
More information about the communication and protocols, see Chapter 8 “Communication”.

It is recommended that separate relay output contacts are allocated for remote circuit breaker
control and protection tripping. This enables the control outputs to be selected via a local/remote
selector switch. Where this feature is not required the same output contact(s) can be used for both
protection and remote tripping.

4.5 Signaling

4.5.1 General Purpose Binary Input


General purpose binary inputs are used to monitor the positions of up to twenty contacts. They
have a common negative pole input. See Chapter 5 “Hardware Description” for the details about
these binary inputs.

34 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 4 Supervision, Metering and Control

The signal state change confirmation time of the BI_1 and BI_2 can be set independently. Other
inputs (BI_3 ~ BI_10) have the same confirmation time, it is default 20ms and can be settable.

4.5.2 Special Purpose Binary Input

The BI_18 ~ BI_25 are used as special purpose binary inputs, such as protection logic calculation,
restoring signals etc.

These inputs (BI_18 ~ BI_25) have the same signal state change confirmation time, it is 20ms.

The following table lists these special inputs.

measurement.

5.1 Overview

The modular design of the RCS-9622CN allows the relay to be easily upgraded or repaired by a
qualified service person. The faceplate is hinged to allow easy access to the configurable modules,
and back-plugging structure design makes it easy to repair or replace any modules.

There are several types of hardware modules in the RCS-9622CN; each module takes a different
part in this relay. The RCS-9622CN mainly consists of DC module (power supply module), CPU
module, AC module (analog inputs module, VTs and CTs), SWI module, ODI module and HMI
module. Following figure shows the block diagram of the RCS-9622CN.

NOTE: The SWI module and ODI module are optional according to practical engineering.

The built-in extension module of the interfaces of the CPU module on the DC module is
optional too; i.e. the amount and medium of the Ethernet interfaces are optional.

Chapter 5 Hardware Description

NOTE: The hardware configuration of the RCS-9622CN must be definitely declared in

the technical scheme and the contract.

5.2 Basic Enclosure

The basic enclosure for the RCS-9622CN is an electronic equipment rack (see Figure 5.2-1) with
an adequate number of slots for the AC module, DC module, SWI module and ODI module. The
basic rack is equipped with a back plane (mother board), and the CPU module is equipped with
the basic rack. The back plane provides some back plane lines for distributing signals within the
enclosure.

There are six slots in the rack of RCS-9622CN, which can be populated with four modules: AC
module, DC module, SWI module, ODI module. Typical allocation of slots is shown in Figure 5.2-2.

Figure 5.2-2 Allocation of the slots in the RCS-9622CN (rear view)

In various applications, the AC module and DC module are always applied as basic modules of the
RCS-9622CN. The SWI module and ODI module are optional according to practical engineering.
In Section 5.9 “Module Configuration Scheme”, the more information about the optional modules is
described detailedly.

5.3 AC Module

The AC module is an analog input unit. It contains three voltage transformers and seven current
transformers. It can transform these high AC input values to relevant low AC output value, which
are suited to the analog inputs of the CPU module. It also can be thought as a bridge between the
CPU module and the external analog signals that come into the relay. The transformers are used
both to step-down the currents and voltages to levels appropriate to the relay’s electronic circuitry
and to provide effective isolation between the relay and the power system. A low pass filter circuit
is connected to each transformer (CT and VT) secondary circuit for reducing the noise of each
analog AC input signal.

NOTE: The rated value of the input current transformer is optional: 1A or 5A. The rated

value of the CT must be definitely declared in the technical scheme and the contract.

NOTE: Because the rated value of the input current transformer is optional, it is

necessary to check that whether the rated values of the current transformer inputs are
accordant to the demand of the practical engineering before putting the device into
operation.

DANGER: Never allow the current transformer (CT) secondary circuit connected to this

equipment to be opened while the primary system is live. Opening the CT circuit will
produce a dangerously high voltage. If this safety precaution is disregarded, personal
death, severe personal injury or considerable equipment damage will occur.

5.4 CPU Module

The CPU module is the kernel part of this equipment, and contains a powerful microchip processor
and some necessary electronic elements. This powerful processor performs all of the functions for
the relay: the protection functions, the communication management functions. There are several
A/D conversion circuits on this module, which are used to convert the AC analog signals to
corresponding DC signals for fulfilling the demand of the electrical level standard. A high-accuracy
clock chip is contained in this module, it provide accurate current time for the RCS-9622CN.

The functional details of the CPU module are listed as below:

l Protection calculations

The CPU module can calculate protective elements (such as overcurrent element, zero
sequence overcurrent etc.) based on the analog inputs form the AC module and binary inputs
from the DC module, and then judges that whether the device need to trip.

l Communication management

The CPU module can effectively manage the communication procedure, and reliably send out
some useful information through its various communication interfaces. Two serial interfaces
for SAS or RTU, two Ethernet interfaces for SAS or RTU and one serial interface for the
printer are contained in this module. A 20-pin interface for the connection with the HMI module

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 41


Chapter 5 Hardware Description

is contained in this module too. If an event is occurred (such as SOE, protective tripping event
etc.), this module will send out the relevant event information through these interfaces, and
make it be easily observed by the user.

l Auxiliary calculations

Basing on the analog inputs, the CPU module also can calculate out the measurement values,
such as active power, reactive power and power factor etc. All these values can be sent to a
SAS or a RTU through the communication interfaces.

l Clock Synchronization

This module has a local clock chip and an interface to receive clock synchronized signals
from external clock source. These signals include PPS (pulse per second) signal and IRIG-B
signal. Basing on the timing message (from SAS or RTU) and the PPS signal, or basing on
the IRIG-B signal, this module can make the local clock synchronize with the standard clock.

There are some jumpers on this module for various purposes. The jumpers JP1 (“ARM-JTAG”) is
used to connect with an ARM simulator, and the jumper J6 (“DSP-JTAG”) is used to connect with a
DSP simulator. The jumper J5 (“CPLD”) is used to program the CPLD chip on this module. The
jumper JP8 (“CONSOLE”) is used to debug the ARM program of this module.

All above jumpers are reserved for the manufacturer to develop and debug the relevant programs
of this module; the user needn’t use anyone of them.

NOTE: In a regular application, anyone of the above jumpers must be kept the state that

has been set by the manufacturer. Any change of the configuration of the above jumpers
is not permitted.

The jumper JP2 and JP3 are used to download the relevant programs of the CPU module. When
the jumper JP2 is connected, writing the DSP program to the corresponding flash memory is
permitted. When the jumper JP3 is connected, downloading the ARM program to the CPU module
is permitted.

NOTE: In a regular application, the jumper JP2 and JP3 are unconnected. The two

jumpers are only reserved for the manufacturer to refresh the programs of the CPU
module.

5.5 HMI Module

The HMI module is installed on the front panel of RCS-9622CN (see Figure 5.5-1). It is used to
observe the running status and event information on the LCD, and configure the protection
settings and device operation mode. A 160×80-dot matrix backlight LCD, a 9-key keypad, five LED
indicators are contained in this module. All these can help the user to know the status of the

l Circuit Breaker Open State Supervision

The relays TWJ is applied to supervise the open state of circuit breaker when terminal 419 is
connected to the negative pole of power supply in series with normal closed auxiliary contact
of circuit breaker (52b).

46 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 5 Hardware Description

In addition, if terminal 419 is connected with terminal 418, i.e. connected with normal closed
auxiliary contact of circuit breaker (52b) and its close coil (CC), the relay TWJ can provide
supervision on health of close coil (CC) as well.

The LED indicator “CB OPEN” in green lighting shows the open state of the circuit breaker.

l Circuit Breaker Closed State Supervision

The relays HWJ is applied to supervise the open state of circuit breaker when terminal 417 is
connected to the negative pole of power supply in series with normal open auxiliary contact of
circuit breaker (52a).

In addition, if terminal 417 is connected with terminal 416, i.e. connected with normal open
auxiliary contact of circuit breaker (52a) and its trip coil (TC), the relay HWJ can provide
supervision on health of trip coil (TC) as well.

A normal closed contact of HWJ and a normal closed contact of TWJ can initiate a control
circuit failure annunciation by the terminal 421 and 426.

The LED indicator “CB CLOSE” in red lighting shows the open state of the circuit breaker.

l Closing Circuit

Manual closing signal arrives at terminal 410. Terminal 418 shall be connected to close coil
(CC) in series with normal open auxiliary contact of circuit breaker (52b).

HBJ is a seal-in auxiliary relay, whose pickup current is adaptive to the closing current in the
range of 0.5A-4.0A.

Even if closing signal disappears, the normal open contact of relay HBJ will keep closing to
maintain closing circuits working until circuit breaker is closed successfully and the auxiliary
contact of circuit breaker (52b) is open. TBJV is the anti-pump relay; the details of the TBJV
relay are described in following section.

l Trip Circuit

Protection trip signal arrives at terminal 414, while manual trip signal arrives at terminal 411.
Terminal 416 shall be connected to trip coil (TC) in series with normal open auxiliary contact of
circuit breaker (52a). Terminal 414 shall be connected with terminal 409 by a metallic link.

TBJ is a seal-in auxiliary relay, whose pickup current is adaptive to the trip current in the range
of 0.5A-4.0A.

Even if tripping signal disappears, the normal open contact of relay TBJ will keep closing to
maintain trip circuits working until circuit breaker is tripped successfully and normal open
auxiliary contact of circuit breaker (52a) is open. TBJ is also used in anti-pump circuit; the
details of the TBJ relay are described in following section.

l KKJ

KKJ is a bi-stable auxiliary relay. When circuit breaker is closed manually, the relay KKJ will
pick up and latch, when circuit breaker is tripped manually, the relay KKJ will reset. The

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 47


Chapter 5 Hardware Description

normal open contact of KKJ can be used together with normal closed auxiliary contact of
circuit breaker (52b), to initiate auto-recloser in case that circuit breaker trips especially
without any trip commands from protection and manual switch. A normal open contact is
provided to denote the position of the KKJ relay via terminals 406 and 407.

l Anti-pump

Anti-pump function is achieved via auxiliary relay TBJV.

In the event that a breaker is closed onto a fault, while the operator is applying a close signal
via a closed control switch, the circuit breaker will trip and prevent further closing again until
the closing circuit has been de-energized by the operator releasing the control switch.

When trip signal comes and at the same time close signal persists, the normal open contact of
TBJ will close and TBJV will operate and keep sealed with its’ own normal open contact. The
normal closed contact of TBJV will cut off closing circuit to prevent any further closing.

sends out the “P” measured value.

NOTE: In this relay, the output (501~502: RESV OUT A-1) in group A is used as tripping

signal output.

5.9 Module Configuration Scheme

The default hardware configuration of the RCS-9622CN includes a basic enclosure, an AC module,
a CPU module, a HMI module, a DC module and a SWI module. The SWI module only provides a
tripping output, a closing output, a remote tripping output, a remote closing output for the circuit
breaker with a spring mechanism. In some special applications, the ODI module can meet the
demands of the practical engineering. The ODI module is always used for the circuit breaker with
an operation circuit in itself.

According the demands of the practical engineering, various operation module configurations can
be selected. Three recommended schemes are used in practical engineering very usually.

The first recommended scheme is the default hardware configuration. The second recommended
scheme is using a SWI module and an ODI module together. The third recommended scheme is
only using an ODI module as the operation circuit of the device. Several parameters in the
auxiliary parameter submenu (item 2 to 3) are used to define the binary inputs (BI_1 to BI_2) as
special inputs. For more details about the relationship between the parameters and the
corresponding scheme, see Chapter 7 “Setting”.

6.9 Assistant Test Function

6.9.1 Overview

Assistant test function is used to test the equipment in factory or in field when commissioning.
Using this function may check the communication and binary output circuit conveniently, and thus
may decrease the workload and shorten the test time for a project. Assistant test function consists
of checking data-point, forcing metering value and testing the tripping output circuit. All test
functions have password protection and will be recorded simultaneously in the equipment for
further analysis.

86 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 6 HMI Operation Introduction

NOTE: Assistant test function may issue tripping commands, binary input state changes

and metering values, thus it is recommended to use this function restrainedly.

6.9.2 Check the Data-point

This function is used to generate virtual binary signals locally, thus it is not necessary to do
protection test to check the data-point via communication bus. There are two methods in
this equipment to realize this function, which are: sequence test of all data-points and
select test of data-points. The former adopts auto-mode generating the data-points in turn,
and the latter adopts manual-mode generating a selected data-points. The data-points
include state changes of operation element, alarm information, protection disconnector,
binary input, etc. The generating reports will send out via message as well as be stored in
the equipment.

Detailed operation method is described bellow.

l Sequence test of all data-points

As soon as entering the submenu “ALL BI TEST”, the device begins to generate state
change information of the data-points one by one according to the sequence displaying on
the LCD. It will quit this submenu and return to upper menu automatically when
accomplishing.

The operation procedure is:

MENU -> TEST MODE -> ALL BI TEST

l Select test of data-points

Using this function may generate the required data-point message. Enter the submenu
“SEL BI TEST” and press “▲” or “▼” to select the desired object and then press “ENT” to
execute this function. Press “ESC” to quit this submenu and return to upper menu.

The operation procedure is:

MENU -> TEST MODE -> SEL BI TEST -> SELECT A DATA-POINT -> PRESS ENT

6.9.3 Test the Tripping Output Circuit


This function is used to check the output circuit of the equipment. It is unneeded to do
protection test to trigger the output relays and all output relays may be triggered by
accessing the submenu “BO TEST”.

NOTE: When this function is used, the connector “BI_BlkComm” must be put on

and the equipment is under the condition of no voltage and no current.

After entering the submenu “BO TEST”, press “▲” or “▼” to view the particular objects and
select the required one and press “ENT” to execute this function. Press “ESC” to quit this submenu
and return to upper menu.

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 87


Chapter 6 HMI Operation Introduction

6.9.4 Force a Metering Value


This function is used to set an analogue value manually and check the quantity in the
remote control system is whether identical with the quantity displayed on the LCD of local
control panel.

After entering the submenu “METERING”, press “▲” or “▼” to view the particular objects and
select the required one and press “ENT” to execute this function. Press “ESC” to quit this submenu
and return to upper menu.

The operation procedure is

MENU -> TEST MODE -> METERING -> SELECT AN OBJECT -> PRESS ENT

6.10 Understand the Alarms

Hardware circuit and operation condition of the equipment are self-supervised continuously. If any
abnormal condition is detected, information or report will be displayed and a corresponding alarm
will be issued.

A common abnormality may block a certain number of protection functions while other functions
can still work.

However, if serious hardware failure or abnormality were detected, all protection functions will be
blocked and the LED “HEALTHY” will be turned off.

When hardware failure is detected, all protection functions will be blocked and corresponding
alarm signal will be issued. The equipment then cannot work normally in this case and manual
maintenance is required to fix the failure.

NOTE: If the equipment is blocked or alarm signal is issued during operation, do please

find out its reason by help of ALARM REPORT. If the reason can not be found on site,
please inform the factory NARI-RELAYS. Please do not simply press key “RESET” on the
protection panel to energize binary input [BI_ResTarg] or re-power on the equipment.

Chapter 7 Settings

7.1 Overview

The settings are used to determine the characteristic of each protective element and operation
mode of the relay. It is necessary to configure the settings of this relay according to engineering
demands before putting this relay into service. If the settings aren’t configured correctly, the relay
maybe work abnormally (such as communication interrupted, printing out unexpected codes etc.),
even sometimes much more serious accident will occur (such as unwanted operation, missing
operation).

The settings of this relay include system settings, protection settings, communication settings and
miscellaneous settings. The user can configure these settings or parameters manually (see
Section 6.8.2 “Change the Settings”). Remote modification is also supported (IEC60870-5-103
over EIA RS-485 or Ethernet interface, see Chapter 8 “Communication”).

NOTE: If a CPU module is replaced, it is necessary to configure all the settings again

according to the configuration of the CPU module which is replaced.

NOTE: If an AC module is replaced, it is necessary to configure the setting “MAN CALBR”

according to the parameter label pasted on the new AC module.

7.2 System Settings (SYS SETTINGS)

The configuration of system settings is mainly used to set the rated value of VT and CT.

The following table lists all the system parameters.

NOTE:

1) System settings is related to the protection activities, thus it is necessary to configure


theses settings according to actual conditions.

2) Of setting group (Active_Grp): There are up to 8 setting groups used for storing various
settings, and the range is from 0 to 7. Any of them can be set as operating group. There
are two ways to modify the setting group, one is entering the submenu “SYS SETTINGS”
through LCD at the local control panel, change the group number to the required one,
press “ENT” to save it and then press “RST” to restart the equipment and validate the new
settings; the other way is to modify the setting group on a remote control terminal via
communication.

3) All the rated value of the CT and VT must be set according to practical engineering. The
parameters of the transformer must be set according to practical engineering too.

4) The settings “I_Equiv_20mA” and “P_Equiv_20mA” are related to the maximum value of
the 4~20mA analog output, when the output value is 20mA.

5) The connection mode of the transformer is very important to this relay. This relay
calculates the phase differential currents on the base the transformer connection mode.

NOTE: Before configuring the settings, setting group must be configured first.

When a certain setting is not used, in case of over-elements (such as overcurrent, residual
overcurrent), set the value as upper limit; in case of lower-elements (such as under frequency,
under voltage), set the value as lower limit; set the corresponding time as 100S and disable
corresponding protection element and open the disconnector.

1) In general, for switch onto fault protection, it is necessary to set a time-delay from
decades to 100 milliseconds. Thanks to there is no 100ms time-delay in the numerical
protection equipment as there in the traditional protection equipment in the past, thus it
can’t avoid surge current when CB is closing if the time is set as 0.00S.

2) The settings marked with “*” means that they have corresponding virtual binary inputs.
Virtual binary inputs can be modified on the remote terminal via communication. On the
local control panel, all virtual binary inputs can be set to 1 through the submenu “VEBI
SETTINGS” respectively.

3) Only when the control code (such as listed in above table), state of virtual binary input and
state of disconnector are all enable, the corresponding protection element is valid,
otherwise it is invalid.

7.6 VEBI Settings

Each virtual enabling binary input (VEBI) setting is one of the conditions that decide whether the
relevant protection is in service, when this relay is energized. Each virtual enabling binary input
is an “AND” condition of the relevant protective element. Through SAS or RTU, the virtual
enabling binary input can be set as “1” or “0”; and it means that the relevant protection can be in
service or out of service through remote command. It provides convenience for operation
management.

Chapter 8 Communication

8.1 General

This section outlines the remote data communication interfaces of the RCS-9622CN relay. The
relay only supports one protocol at present, and the protocol is IEC60870-5-103. Setting the
relevant communication parameter can select the IEC60870-5-103 protocol (see Section 7.4
“Communication Settings”).

The two rear EIA RS-485 standardized interfaces are isolated, as well as the two Ethernet
interfaces, and are suitable for permanent connection whichever protocol is selected. The
advantage of this type of connection is that up to 32 relays can be “daisy chained” together using a
simple twisted pair electrical connection.

It should be noted that the descriptions contained within this section do not aim to fully detail the
protocol itself. The relevant documentation for the protocol should be referred to for this
information. This section serves to describe the specific implementation of the protocol in the relay.

8.2 Rear Communication Port Information

8.2.1 RS-485 Interface

This relay provides two rear RS-485 communication ports, and each port has two terminals in the
12-terminal screw connector located on the back of the relay. This port has a common ground
terminal for the earth shield of the communication cable. See Section 5.6 “DC Module” for details
of the connection terminals. The rear ports provide RS-485 serial data communication and they
are intended for use with a permanently wired connection to a remote control center.

The protocol provided by the relay is indicated in the relay submenu in the “EQUIP SETUP”
column. Using the keypad and LCD, set the parameter “COM1_Protocol” or “COM2_Protocol” as
“0” or “1”, the corresponding protocol will be selected.

8.2.1.1 EIA RS-485 Standardized Bus

The EIA RS-485 two-wire connection provides a half-duplex fully isolated serial connection to the
product. The connection is polarized and whilst the product’s connection diagrams indicate the
polarization of the connection terminals it should be borne in mind that there is no agreed
definition of which terminal is which. If the master is unable to communicate with the product, and
the communication parameters match, then it is possible that the two-wire connection is reversed.

8.2.1.2 Bus Termination

The EIA RS-485 bus must have 120Ω (Ohm) ½ Watt terminating resistors fitted at either end
across the signal wires (see Figure 8.2-1). Some devices may be able to provide the bus
terminating resistors by different connection or configuration arrangements, in which case
separate external components will not be required. However, this product does not provide such a

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 99


Chapter 8 Communication

facility, so if it is located at the bus terminus then an external termination resistor will be required.

Figure 8.2-1 EIA RS-485 bus connection arrangements

8.2.1.3 Bus Connections & Topologies

The EIA RS-485 standard requires that each device is directly connected to the physical cable that
is the communications bus. Stubs and tees are expressly forbidden, such as star topologies. Loop
bus topologies are not part of the EIA RS-485 standard and are forbidden by it also.

Two-core screened cable is recommended. The specification of the cable will be dependent on the
application, although a multi-strand 0.5mm 2 per core is normally adequate. Total cable length must
not exceed 500m. The screen must be continuous and connected to ground at one end, normally
at the master connection point; it is important to avoid circulating currents, especially when the
cable runs between buildings, for both safety and noise reasons.

This product does not provide a signal ground connection. If a signal ground connection is present
in the bus cable then it must be ignored, although it must have continuity for the benefit of other
devices connected to the bus. At no stage must the signal ground be connected to the cables
screen or to the product’s chassis. This is for both safety and noise reasons.

8.2.1.4 Biasing

It may also be necessary to bias the signal wires to prevent jabber. Jabber occurs when the signal
level has an indeterminate state because the bus is not being actively driven. This can occur when
all the slaves are in receive mode and the master is slow to turn from receive mode to transmit
mode. This may be because the master purposefully waits in receive mode, or even in a high
impedance state, until it has something to transmit. Jabber causes the receiving device(s) to miss
the first bits of the first character in the packet, which results in the slave rejecting the message
and consequentially not responding. Symptoms of these are poor response times (due to retries),
increasing message error counters, erratic communications, and even a complete failure to
communicate.

Biasing requires that the signal lines be weakly pulled to a defined voltage level of about 1V. There
should only be one bias point on the bus, which is best situated at the master connection point.
The DC source used for the bias must be clean; otherwise noise will be injected. Note that some
devices may (optionally) be able to provide the bus bias, in which case external components will
not be required.

100 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 8 Communication

NOTE:

l It is extremely important that the 120Ω termination resistors are fitted. Failure to do so will
result in an excessive bias voltage that may damage the devices connected to the bus.

l As the field voltage is much higher than that required, NARI-RELAYS cannot assume
responsibility for any damage that may occur to a device connected to the network as a result
of incorrect application of this voltage.

l Ensure that the field voltage is not being used for other purposes (i.e. powering logic inputs)
as this may cause noise to be passed to the communication network.

8.2.2 Ethernet Interface


This relay provides two rear Ethernet interfaces and they are unattached each other. Parameters
of each Ethernet port can be configured in the submenu “EQUIP SETUP” except for the protocol,
and protocol is a uniform parameter for the two Ethernet ports.

8.2.2.1 IP Address and Equipment Address of the Equipment

A brief explanation of IP and network submask is made as bellow. There are four sections for an IP
address.

Figure 8.2-2 Format of IP address

Where:

l Section 3 and section 2 can be set separately

l Section 1 * 256 + section 0 = equipment address (Comm_Addr)

Equipment address has above relationship described as an equation with section 1 and section 0
of IP address.

8.2.2.2 Ethernet Standardized Communication Cable

It is recommended to use twisted screened eight-core cable as the communication cable. A picture
is shown bellow.

Figure 8.2-3 Ethernet communication cable

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 101


Chapter 8 Communication

8.2.2.3 Connections and Topologies

Each device can connect to an exchanger via communication cable and thereby to form a star
structure network. Dual-network is recommended in order to increase reliability. SCADA is also
connected to the exchanger and will play a role of master station, so the every equipment which
has been connected to the exchanger will play a role of slave unit.

Figure 8.2-4 Ethernet communication structure

8.2.3 IEC60870-5-103 Communication


The IEC specification IEC60870-5-103: Telecontrol Equipment and Systems, Part 5: Transmission
Protocols Section 103 defines the use of standards IEC60870-5-1 to IEC60870-5-5 to perform
communication with protection equipment. The standard configuration for the IEC60870-5-103
protocol is to use a twisted pair EIA RS-485 connection over distances up to 500m. It also supports
to use an Ethernet connection. The relay operates as a slave in the system, responding to
commands from a master station.

To use the rear port with IEC60870-5-103 communication, the relay’s relevant settings must be
configured. To do this use the keypad and LCD user interface. In the submenu “EQUIP SETUP”,
set the parameter “COM1_Protocol” or “COM2_Protocol” as “1”, then set the baud rate of each
rear port. For using the Ethernet port with IEC60870-5-103 communication, set the parameter
“NET_Protocol” as “1”, and then the IP address and submask of each Ethernet port must be set.
See Section 7.4 for further details.

8.3 IEC60870-5-103 Interface

The IEC60870-5-103 interface is a master/slave interface with the relay as the slave device.

The relay conforms to compatibility level 2; compatibility level 3 is not supported.

The following IEC60870-5-103 facilities are supported by this interface:

102 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 8 Communication

l Initialization (reset)

l Time synchronization

l Event record extraction

l General interrogation

l Cyclic measurements

l General commands

l Disturbance records

8.3.1 Physical Connection and Link Layer

Two EIA RS-485 standardized ports are available for IEC60870-5-103 in this relay. The
transmission speed is optional: 4800 bit/s, 9600 bit/s, 19200 bit/s or 38400 bit/s.

Two or three unattached Ethernet ports are available for IEC60870-5-103 in this relay. The
transmission speed is 100M/s.

The link layer strictly abides by the rules defined in the IEC60870-5-103.

8.3.2 Initialization

Whenever the relay has been powered up, or if the communication parameters have been
changed, a reset command is required to initialize the communications. The relay will respond to
either of the two reset commands (Reset CU or Reset FCB), the difference is that the Reset CU
will clear any unsent messages in the relay’s transmit buffer.

The relay will respond to the reset command with an identification message ASDU 5, the COT
(Cause Of Transmission) of this response will be either Reset CU or Reset FCB depending on the
nature of the reset command.

In addition to the above identification message, if the relay has been powered up it will also
produce a power up event.

8.3.3 Time Synchronization

The relay time and date can be set using the time synchronization feature of the IEC60870-5-103
protocol. The relay will correct for the transmission delay as specified in IEC60870-5-103. If the
time synchronization message is sent as a send/confirm message then the relay will respond with
a confirmation. Whether the time-synchronization message is sent as a send confirmation or a
broadcast (send/no reply) message, a time synchronization Class 1 event will be
generated/produced.

If the relay clock is synchronized using the IRIG-B input then it will not be possible to set the relay
time using the IEC60870-5-103 interface. An attempt to set the time via the interface will cause the
relay to create an event with the current date and time taken from the IRIG-B synchronized internal
clock.

Chapter 9 Installation

9.1 General

The equipment must be shipped, stored and installed with the greatest care.

Choose the place of installation such that the communication interface and the controls on the
front of the device are easily accessible.

Air must circulate freely around the equipment. Observe all the requirements regarding place of
installation and ambient conditions given in this instruction manual.

Take care that the external wiring is properly brought into the equipment and terminated correctly
and pay special attention to grounding. Strictly observe the corresponding guidelines contained in
this section.

9.2 Safety Instructions

Modules and units may only be replaced by correspondingly trained personnel. Always observe
the basic precautions to avoid damage due to electrostatic discharge when handling the
equipment.

In certain cases, the settings have to be configured according to the demands of the engineering
configuration after replacement. It is therefore assumed that the personnel who replace modules
and units are familiar with the use of the operator program on the service PC.

DANGER: Only insert or withdraw the DC module while the power supply is switched off.

To this end, disconnect the power supply cable that connects with the DC module.

WARNING: Only insert or withdraw the other boards while the power supply is switched

off.

WARNING: The modules of this relay may only be inserted in the slots designated in

Section 5.2. Components can be damaged or destroyed by inserting boards in the wrong
slots.

DANGER: Improper handling of the equipment can cause damage or an incorrect

response of the equipment itself or the primary plant.

WARNING: Industry packs and ribbon cables may only be replaced or the positions of

jumpers be changed on a workbench appropriately designed for working on electronic

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 109


Chapter 9 Installation

equipment. The RCS-9622CN modules, bus backplanes are sensitive to electrostatic


discharge when not in the unit's housing.

The basic precautions to guard against electrostatic discharge are as follows:

l Should boards have to be removed from RCS-9622CN installed in a grounded cubicle in an


HV switchgear installation, discharge yourself by touching station ground (the cubicle)
beforehand.

l Only hold electronic boards at the edges, taking care not to touch the components.

l Only works on boards that have been removed from the cubicle on a workbench designed for
electronic equipment and wear a grounded wristband. Do not wear a grounded wristband,
however, while inserting or withdrawing units.

l Always store and ship the electronic boards in their original packing. Place electronic parts in
electrostatic screened packing materials.

9.3 Checking the Shipment

Check that the consignment is complete immediately upon receipt. Notify the nearest
NARI-RELAYS Company or agent, should departures from the delivery note, the shipping papers
or the order be found.

Visually inspect all the material when unpacking it. When there is evidence of transport damage,
lodge a claim immediately in writing with the last carrier and notify the nearest NARI-RELAYS
Company or agent.

If the equipment is not going to be installed immediately, store all the parts in their original packing
in a clean dry place at a moderate temperature. The humidity should not exceed 90% at a
maximum temperature of +55°C; the permissible storage temperature range in dry air is -40°C to
+70°C.

9.4 Material and Tools Required

The necessary mounting kits will be provided, including screws, pincers and assembly
instructions.

A suitable drill and spanners are required to secure the cubicles to the floor using the plugs
provided (if RCS-9622CN is mounted in cubicles).

9.5 Device Location and Ambient Conditions

The place of installation should permit easy access especially to front of the device, i.e. to the
human-machine interface of the equipment.

There should also be free access at the rear of the equipment for additions and replacement of

110 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 9 Installation

electronic boards.

Since every piece of technical equipment can be damaged or destroyed by inadmissible ambient
conditions, such as:

1) The location should not be exposed to excessive air pollution (dust, aggressive substances).

2) Severe vibration, extreme changes of temperature, high levels of humidity, surge voltages of
high amplitude and short rise time and strong induced magnetic fields should be avoided as
far as possible.

3) Air must not be allowed to circulate freely around the equipment.

The equipment can in principle be mounted in any attitude, but it is normally mounted vertically
(visibility of markings).

WARNING: Excessively high temperature can appreciably reduce the operating life of

the RCS-9622CN.

9.6 Mechanical Installation

This device is made of a single layer 6U height 6” chassis with 4 connectors on its rear panel (See
Figure 5.1-2). Following figure shows the dimensions of RCS-9622CN for reference in mounting.

Figure 9.6-1 Dimensions of the RCS-9622CN and the cut-out in the cubicle (unit: mm)

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 111


Chapter 9 Installation

NOTE: It is necessary to leave enough space top and bottom of the cut-out in the cubicle

for heat emission of the RCS-9622CN.

As mentioned former (Chapter 5 “Hardware Description”), up to four modules are installed in the
enclosure of the RCS-9622CN, and these modules must be plugged into the proper slots of the
RCS-9622CN respectively. The safety instructions must be abided by when installing the boards,
see Section 9.2 “Safety Instructions”. Figure 9.6-2 shows the installation way that a module is
being plugged into a corresponding slot.

Figure 9.6-2 Demonstration of plugging a board into its corresponding slot

In the case of equipment supplied in cubicles, place the cubicles on the foundations that have
been prepared. Take care while doing so not to jam or otherwise damage any of the cables that
have already been installed. Secure the cubicles to the foundations.

9.7 Electrical Installation and Wiring

9.7.1 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.

112 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 9 Installation

9.7.2 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 9.7-1).

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 9.7-1 Cubicle grounding system

9.7.3 Ground Connection on the Device

There is a ground terminal on the rear panel (see Figure 9.7-2), 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.

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 113


Chapter 9 Installation

There are some ground terminals on some connectors of the RCS-9622CN, and the sign is “GND”.
All the ground terminals are connected in the cabinet of this relay. So, the ground terminal on the
rear panel (see Figure 9.7-2) is the only ground terminal of this device.

Figure 9.7-2 Ground terminal of the RCS-9622CN

9.7.4 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.

Data of braided copper strip: threaded M4, 2.5mm 2.

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.

Figure 9.7-3 Ground strip and termination

9.7.5 Guidelines for Wiring

There are several types of cables that are used in the connection of RCS-9622CN: braided copper
cable, serial communication cable.

Recommendation of each cable:

Chapter 10 Commissioning

Chapter 10 Commissioning

10.1 General

This relay is fully numerical in their design, implementing all protection and non-protection
functions in software. The relay employ a high degree of self-checking and in the unlikely event of
a failure, will give an alarm. As a result of this, the commissioning test does not need to be as
extensive as with non-numeric electronic or electro-mechanical relays.

To commission numerical relays, it is only necessary to verify that the hardware is functioning
correctly and the application-specific software settings have been applied to the relay.

Blank commissioning test and setting records are provided at the end of this manual for
completion as required.

Before carrying out any work on the equipment, the user should be familiar with the contents of the
safety and technical data sections and the ratings on the equipment’s rating label.

10.2 Safety Instructions

WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present in this electrical equipment during operation.

Non-observance of the safety rules can result in severe personal injury or property
damage.

WARNING: Only qualified personnel shall work on and around this equipment after

becoming thoroughly familiar with all warnings and safety notices of this manual as well
as with the applicable safety regulations.

Particular attention must be drawn to the following:

l The earthing screw of the device must be connected solidly to the protective earth conductor
before any other electrical connection is made.

l Hazardous voltages can be present on all circuits and components connected to the supply
voltage or to the measuring and test quantities.

l Hazardous voltages can be present in the device even after disconnection of the supply
voltage (storage capacitors!)

l The limit values stated in the technical data (Chapter 2) must not be exceeded at all, not even
during testing and commissioning.

l When testing the device with secondary test equipment, make sure that no other
measurement quantities are connected. Take also into consideration that the trip circuits and

with the commissioning of protection system, the operation of the plant and safety rules
and regulations (switching, earthing, etc.).

10.3 Commission Tools

Minimum equipment required:

l Multifunctional dynamic current and voltage injection test set with interval timer.

l Multimeter with suitable AC current range and AC/DC voltage ranges of 0-440V and 0-250V
respectively.

l Continuity tester (if not included in the multimeter).

l Phase angle meter.

l Phase rotation meter.

NOTE: Modern test set may contain many of the above features in one unit.

Optional equipment:

l An electronic or brushless insulation tester with a DC output not exceeding 500 V (for
insulation resistance test when required).

l A portable PC, with appropriate software (this enables the rear communications port to be
tested, if this is to be used, and will also save considerable time during commissioning).

10.4 Setting Familiarization

When commissioning a RCS-9622CN relay for the first time, sufficient time should be allowed to
become familiar with the method by which the settings are applied. The Chapter 6 contains a
detailed description of the menu structure of this relay.

With the front cover in place all keys are accessible. All menu cells can be read. LED indicators
and alarms can be reset. Protection or configuration settings can be changed, or fault and event

118 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 10 Commissioning

records cleared. However, menu cells will require the appropriate password to be entered before
changes can be made.

Alternatively, if a portable PC is available together with suitable setting software (such as


RCS-9700 SAS software), the menu can be viewed a page at a time to display a full column of
data and text. This PC software also allows settings to be entered more easily, saved to a file on
disk for future reference or printed to produce a setting record. Refer to the PC software user
manual for details. If the software is being used for the first time, allow sufficient time to become
familiar with its operation.

10.5 Product Checks

These product checks cover all aspects of the relay which should be checked to ensure that it has
not been physically damaged prior to commissioning, is functioning correctly and all input quantity
measurements are within the stated tolerances.

If the application-specific settings have been applied to the relay prior to commissioning, it is
advisable to make a copy of the settings so as to allow them restoration later. This could be done
by extracting the settings from the relay itself via printer or manually creating a setting record.

10.5.1 With the Relay De-energized

The RCS-9622CN serial transformer protection is fully numerical and the hardware is continuously
monitored. Commissioning tests can be kept to a minimum and need only include hardware tests
and conjunctive tests. The function tests are carried out according to user’s correlative regulations.

The following tests are necessary to ensure the normal operation of the equipment before it is first
put into service.

l Hardware tests

These tests are performed for the following hardware to ensure that there is no hardware
defect. Defects of hardware circuits other than the following can be detected by
self-monitoring when the DC power is supplied.

Check whether the earthing cable from the panel terminal block is safely screwed to the panel
steel sheet.

l Switch, keypad, isolator binary inputs and push button

Check whether all the switches, equipment keypad, isolator binary inputs and push buttons
work normally and smoothly.

10.5.1.2 Insulation Test (if required)

Insulation resistance tests are only necessary during commissioning if it is required for them to be
done and they have not been performed during installation.

120 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 10 Commissioning

Isolate all wiring from the earth and test the isolation with an electronic or brushless insulation
tester at a DC voltage not exceeding 500V, The circuits need to be tested should include:

l Voltage transformer circuits

l Current transformer circuits

l DC power supply

l Optic-isolated control inputs

l Output contacts

l Communication ports

The insulation resistance should be greater than 100MΩ at 500V.

Test method:

To unplug all the terminals sockets of this relay, and do the Insulation resistance test for each
circuit above with an electronic or brushless insulation tester.

On completion of the insulation resistance tests, ensure all external wiring is correctly reconnected
to the protection

10.5.1.3 Check the Jumpers

In general, the jumpers of the relay have been set correctly before sent to user. While, checking
the jumpers is a good habit before the relay is brought to service. Setting method of the jumpers is
explained in Chapter 5 detailedly.

10.5.1.4 External Wiring

Check that the external wiring is correct to the relevant relay diagram and scheme diagram.
Ensure as far as practical that phasing/phase rotation appears to be as expected.

Check the wiring against the schematic diagram for the installation to ensure compliance with the
customer’s normal practice.

10.5.1.5 Auxiliary Supply

The relay can be operated from either 110/125Vdc or 220/250Vdc auxiliary supply depending on
the relay’s nominal supply rating. The incoming voltage must be within the operating range
specified in the following table, before energizing the relay, measure the auxiliary supply to ensure
it within the operating range.

Rated Voltage 110/125VDC 220/250VDC


Variation 88 - 144 VDC 176 - 288 VDC

It should be noted that the relay can withstand an AC ripple of up to 12% of the upper rated voltage
on the DC auxiliary supply.

WARNING: Energize the relay only if the auxiliary supply is within the specified operating

NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 121


Chapter 10 Commissioning

ranges.

10.5.2 With the Relay Energized

The following groups of checks verify that the relay hardware and software is functioning correctly
and should be carried out with the auxiliary supply applied to the relay.

The current and voltage transformer connections must remain isolated from the relay for these
checks. The trip circuit should also remain isolated to prevent accidental operation of the
associated circuit breaker.

10.5.2.1 Front Panel LCD Display

The liquid crystal display (LCD) is designed to operate in a wide range of substation ambient
temperatures. For this purpose, this relay has an automatic “LCD contrast” adjusting feature,
which is capable to adjust LCD contrast automatically according to the ambient temperature.

Connect the relay to DC power supply correctly and turn the relay on. Check program version and
forming time displayed in command menu to ensure that are corresponding to what ordered.

10.5.2.2 Date and Time

If the time and date is not being maintained by substation automation system, the date and time
should be set manually.

Set the date and time to the correct local time and date using menu item ”CLOCK”.

In the event of the auxiliary supply failing, with a battery fitted on CPU board, the time and date will
be maintained. Therefore when the auxiliary supply is restored the time and date will be correct
and not need to set again.

To test this, remove the auxiliary supply from the relay for approximately 30s. After being
re-energized, the time and date should be correct.

10.5.2.3 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)

On power up, the green LED “HEALTHY” should have illuminated and stayed on indicating that the
relay is healthy.

The relay has latched signal relays which remember the state of the trip, auto-reclose when the
relay was last energized from an auxiliary supply. Therefore these indicators may also illuminate
when the auxiliary supply is applied. If any of these LEDs are on then they should be reset before
proceeding with further testing. If the LED successfully reset, the LED goes out. There is no testing
required for that that LED because it is known to be operational.

It is likely that alarms related to voltage transformer supervision will not reset at this stage.

10.5.2.4 Testing the HEALTHY and ALARM LEDs

Apply the rated DC Power supply and check that the “HEALTHY” LED is lighting in green. We
need to emphasize that the “HEALTHY” LED is always lighting in operation course except that the
equipment find serious errors in it.

122 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD


Chapter 10 Commissioning

Produce one of the abnormal conditions listed in Chapter 4, the “ALARM” LED will light in yellow.
When abnormal condition reset, the “ALARM” LED extinguishes.

10.5.2.5 Testing the TRIP LED

The “TRIP” LED can be tested by initiating a manual circuit breaker trip from the relay. However
the “TRIP” LED will operate during the setting checks (performed later). Therefore no further
testing of the “TRIP” LED is required at this stage.

10.5.2.6 Testing the AC Current Inputs

This test verified that the accuracy of current measurement is within the acceptable tolerances.

Apply current equal to the line current transformer secondary winding rating to each current
transformer input of the corresponding rating in turn, see the following table or external connection
diagram for appropriate terminal numbers, checking its magnitude using a multimeter/test set
readout. The corresponding reading can then be checked in the relays menu.

The measurement accuracy of the relay is ±1%. However an additional allowance must be made
for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.

protection as an example.

1. Enable the No.1 mechanical protection.

l Set the logic setting [En_MR1] as “1” in the relay’s “PROT SETUP” menu.

l Set other logic settings as “0” in the relay’s “PROT SETUP” menu.

2. De-energize all the binary inputs of this relay.

3. Simulate a normal condition, and the CB is closed.

4. Energize the binary input BI_MR1 (Terminal: 326).

5. Then, the No.1 mechanical protection will operate and issue the trip command at once. The
“TRIP” LED indicator will be lightening on; a relevant report will be shown on the LCD.

6. De-energize the binary input BI_MR1 (Terminal: 326). The relay will restore the No.1
mechanical protection automatically. Restore the “TRIP” indicator and the LCD manually.

NOTE: The other mechanical protections can be tested through the same method that is

described as above.

10.5.4 Print Fault Report


In order to acquire the details of protection operation, it is convenient to print the fault report of
protection device. For further details, see Section 6.7.3 “View Reports and Waveform by Printing”.

10.5.5 On-load Checks


The objectives of the on-load checks are:

l Confirm the external wiring to the current and voltage inputs is correct.

l Measure the magnitude of on-load current and voltage (if applicable).

l Check the polarity of each current transformer.

However, these checks can only be carried out if there are no restrictions preventing the
tenderization of the plant being protected.

Remove all test leads, temporary shorting leads, etc. and replace any external wiring that has
been removed to allow testing.

If it has been necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the protection in order to
perform any of the foregoing tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in
accordance with the relevant external connection or scheme diagram. Confirm current and voltage
transformer wiring.

10.5.6 Final Checks


After the above tests are completed, remove all test or temporary shorting leads, etc. If it has been
necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the protection in order to perform the
wiring verification tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in accordance with
the relevant external connection or scheme diagram.

Ensure that the protection has been restored to service.

If the protection is in a new installation or the circuit breaker has just been maintained, the circuit
breaker maintenance and current counters should be zero. If a test block is installed, remove the
test plug and replace the cover so that the protection is put into service.

Ensure that all event records, fault records, disturbance records and alarms have been cleared
and LED’s has been reset before leaving the protection.

Chapter 11 Maintenance

Chapter 11 Maintenance

11.1 Maintenance Schedule

It is recommended that products supplied by NARI-RELAYS receive periodic monitoring after


installation. In view of the critical nature of protective relays and their infrequent operation, it is
desirable to confirm that they are operating correctly at regular intervals.

This relays are self-supervised and so require less maintenance than earlier designs of relay. Most
problems will result in an alarm so that remedial action can be taken. However, some periodic
tests should be done to ensure that the relay is functioning correctly and the external wiring is
intact.

11.2 Regular Testing

The relay is almost completely self-supervised. The circuits which can not be supervised are
binary input, output circuits and human machine interfaces. Therefore regular testing can be
minimized to checking the unsupervised circuits.

11.3 Failure Tracing and Repair

Failures will be detected by automatic supervision or regular testing.

When a failure is detected by supervision, a remote alarm is issued and the failure is indicated on
the front panel with LED indicators and LCD display. It is also recorded in the alarm record.
Failures detected by supervision are traced by checking the “ALM REPORT” screen on the LCD.
See Section 6.3.3 “Display under Abnormal Condition” for the details of the alarm events.

When a failure is detected during regular testing, confirm the following:

l Test circuit connections are correct

l Modules are securely inserted in position

l Correct DC power voltage is applied

l Correct AC inputs are applied

l Test procedures comply with those stated in the manual

11.4 Replace Failed Modules

If the failure is identified to be in the relay module and the user has spare modules, the user can
recover the protection by replacing the failed modules.

Chapter 11 Maintenance

Repair at the site should be limited to module replacement. Maintenance at the component level is
not recommended.

Check that the replacement module has an identical module name (AC, DC, CPU, SWI, ODI) and
hardware type-form as the removed module. Furthermore, the CPU module replaced should have
the same software version. And the AC and DC module replaced should have the same ratings.

WARNING: Units and modules may only be replaced while the supply is switched off and

only by appropriately trained and qualified personnel. Strictly observe the basic
precautions to guard against electrostatic discharge.

WARNING: When handling a module, take anti-static measures such as wearing an

earthed wrist band and placing modules on an earthed conductive mat. Otherwise, many
of the electronic components could suffer damage. After replacing the CPU module,
check the settings.

DANGER: After replacing modules, be sure to check that the same configuration is set

as before the replacement. If this is not the case, there is a danger of the unintended
operation of switchgear taking place or of protections not functioning correctly. Persons
may also be put in danger.
