1. General
This user manual describes details of testing P443 H7 relays with the OMICRON
Protection Test Template. General information on the usage of OMICRON Protection Testing Library
items can be found in the OMICRON PTL user manual.
Any CMC test set can be used with this Protection Test Template.
3. Hardware
There are multiple possibilities of wiring a P443 relay to a CMC test set. The advised connections are
shown in Figure 1. These connections are the default settings in the Hardware Configuration of the PTT.
4. Functional Range
Supported functions:
21P/21G Distance protection (Mho and Quad)
50/27 Switch On To Fault
50/51/67 Phase overcurrent
50N/51N/67N Earth/ground overcurrent
50BF CB Fail
79 Autoreclose
SEF/REF Protection
Although the functions and parameters listed above are not supported by the Protection Test Template,
the Relay Parameter Section of the XRIO Converter includes all protection parameters of the relay.
5. XRIO Converter
The Test Object already contains the Schneider MiCOM P443 XRIO Converter, which includes setting
parameters of the modelled protection relay. The setting parameters are built as an image of the
Easergy Studio V8.0.0 software and the following data models with software versions:
P443: Software Version H7 (full support)
The following software versions are not completely supported, as the data models partly differs from the
P443 H7:
P445: Software Version J2
P446: Software Version H7
The Standard Filter for XRIO Files can be used for importing settings into the Relay Parameter
Section.
Further information about the Additional Information block can be found in the OMICRON PTL user
manual.
Test Model
The Mho characteristic modeled in the XRIO-converter is only valid for the Test Model selected as
"Constant test current" (ITest) or “Constant test voltage” (Vtest). If the Test Model is set to “Constant
source impedance” in the Advanced Distance module, the Mho characteristic used by the relay differs
from the drawn characteristic in the test module and the test points will fail. This happens due to the
dynamic mho expansion of the relay.
For the two cases above a regular trip and an accelerated SOTF trip are stimulated with the State
Sequencer module. For each module there are seven states:
1. CB opened 1: this state simulates a not energized line in order to activate the SOTF function.
2. Line Energized 1: simulates the line energized for a time bigger than the time the SOTF function
is active which means the SOTF will be deactivate again after this state.
3. Fault 1: In this state, a three phase fault is simulated. The test shot is placed on the furthest active
zone (forward or reverse). The Impedance View in the module can be used to check the test
point.
4. CB opened 2: the same as CB opened 1
5. Line Energized 2: simulates the line energized for a time smaller than the time the SOTF function
is active which means the SOTF is still in-service after this state.
6. Fault 2: the same as Fault 1.
7. Postfault: simulates opened circuit to reset all relay internal SOTF signals.
After all states have been executed the measured trip times are assessed automatically.
Note: The setting parameter "CB Status Input" (07.11) has also an influence on this test. If it is different
than "None" the binary outputs of the CMC should be routed to the relay as explained in the Hardware
Configuration section.
Note: If the selected zone for the SOTF function is used as a non-tripping zone (settings in the Scheme
Logic section) the test must be adapted. It could be necessary to manually change the time assessments
or even the test point for the faults.
An active zone that is not active according to the parameter SOTF Tripping (34.83) is not taken into
consideration for the SOTF test assessment. Therefore the test might fail.
Inverse characteristics
More test points should be added to the predefined ones if an inverse overcurrent characteristic is used in
the relay to verify that the characteristic is working correctly.
