INTRODUCTION Circuit-breaker switching may cause transient over- or undervollages and/or overcurrent in the system which cannot always be tolerated. The magnitude of the transients are determined by the phase position at which the switching takes place, At conventional ssaitching the phase position at each switching occasion wil be random, which means that switching in a very unfavourable phase position will occur sooner or later. Conventional transient limiting methods, e.g., pre-insertion resistors, are dimensioned taking this into consideration. ‘The controller SWITCHSYNG F236 enables controling of the switching moment so that switching always takes place in a pre-determined phase position selected to eliminate the ‘switching iransients or limit them as far as possible. This technique is an alternative to conventional methods and gives, where il is suitable to use, a smoother switching operation and thereby improving the power quali. For example, at reactor opening ‘where there is no effective conventional method for limiting transients, contralied opening is able to completely efiminate re-ignition overvotages. SWITCHSYNC F236 is primarily meant for controling of both closing and opening of single-pole operated circuit-breakers but can also be used with three-pole operated iroult-breakers. SWITCHSYNC F236 has two inputs to receive command either for eiosing or opening, or both, of the circuit-breeker. The controller F236 has three adaptive inputs for detecting the time for switching carried out (or result of the switching) in each of the poles and also inputs for connecting sensors for compensation of external parameter variations. SWITCHSYNC F236 has six command outputs, three of them for closing and three of them for opening. SWITCHSYNC F226 is @ point-on-wave controller used for switching al fixed targets 2. ADVANTAGES ‘The advantages of using controller SWITCHSYNC F236 compared to applying conventional transient limiting methods, @¢., pte-insertion resistors are: » — Reduced transients when switching: ~ capacitor banks = shunt reactors = power transformers = no-load overhead transmission tines = Adaptive contro! of the switching moment safeguards the contrailed switching regardless of aging effects on operation times. + True adaptation on unintended result during shunt reactor de-energjsing = Automatic adaptation to network frequency 15 - 68 Hz. = Automatic checking of phase reference reduces the influence of transients and varying harmonic content in the network + Compensation for operating timo variation with ambient temperature and one other, optional, external parameter + Menu controlled data entries gives simple startup.

See separate documentation (5409 722-108). © Under stable conditions no additional sensors are needed. Existing instrument transformers are used for supplying necessary signals. 3. FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLE The functioning principle is most simply explained by saying that SWITCHSYNC F236 fetains the switching command from the control system and only sends it further to the clroult-breeker when, taking into account the expected operation time of the circuit- breaker, it leads to switching in a desired phase position. ‘The principle is ilustrated by an example, controlled switching of a single-pole operated circult-breaker for both energising and de-energising a grounded capacitor bank, see Figures 3.1-3.3, ‘+ When the controller (1) has recelved a switching command to one of the {wo inputs (2 and 3), its microprocessor slarts a clack at a zoro of a reference vollage. Normally the polarity of the reference voltage has no impact but on later versions of 'SWITCHSYNC F236 the reference voltage terminals have a determined orientation which means that reference points are voltage zeros with positive derivative. Reference voltage is usually taken from a voltage transformer (4) on the supply side of the circuit-breaker. The first digit in the type designation SWITCHSYNC F236 represents the number Gf command inputs. + Controller (1} sends the switching command further lo the circut-breaker oporating calls (5, 6, 7 or 8, 9, 10) when the certain fime has elapsed (total waiting time Tyror} which is determined by the processor based on entered data and (in adaptive made) the result of earlier switchings and also, if required, with compensation for ambient temperature andor another external parameter. The six outputs are recognized by the last digit in the controller neme SWITCHSYNC F236. ‘When SWITCHSYNC F236 is used in adaptive mode, it notes the result of a performed switching for each respective pote and adjusts its waiting time for the next switching, leaking into account any deviation from the intended target. Such deviations can, for ‘example, be caused by variations in the operating time. Usually current onset, for a ‘making operation, in current transformers (11, 12 and 13) is used to detect the energising instants, For shunt reactor de-energising the actual result of the interruption (re-igrition free or not) is supervised and followed by an adjustment for longer arcing time for the re- ignlting pole when needed, {f instructed to compensate for extemal parameters (temperature and/or another optional parameter), SWITCHSYNC F236 will take these into account when adjusting its waiting times for the next switching ‘The six command outputs are meant to be used for both ciesing and opening of single- pole operated circuit-breakers, in which case outputs a, b, and ¢ (6, 6 and 7) are used for closing and outputs d, e, and f (8, 9 and 10} for opening. Adjustment of the waiting time in adaptive made is done for all output commands and is executed with amounts Independent of each other. The three individual feed-back signals are symbolically shown fn the second digit in the type designation SWITCHSYNC F236, SWITCHSYNG F236 is mainly intended for controlled closing and/or controlled opening of single-pole operated circuit-breakers. SWITCHSYNC F236 can also be used for controlled closing andfor controlled opening of three-pole operated circuit-breakers but for such applications SWITCHSYNC E113 or E213 can be a more cost efficient alternative.

For a three- pole operated circuit-breaker the required time difference must instead be obtained by modifying the mechanical design (“mechanical staggering’). In the example, Figures 3.1 - 3.2, the reference voltage is equal to the phase-to-ground voltage in phase L1 and the circuit-breaker (14} closes at zero voltage across contacts which in this case means closing \whien each respective busber vottage is close to zero and in reversed phase order L1 - L3 - L (at intervals of 60 electrical degrees) which is the shortest time difference needed. Usually, tne optimum phase position for switching has a distinct relation to the phase angie ‘of the supply side voltage of the same phase. Tha phase shift between the latter and the reference voltage used depends oft from which phase, or between which phases, the reference voltage is taken. Before putting into service, the time difference between the. reference voltage zero and the best switching instant is entered as the delay time Tp, (see Figure 3.2), In the example Tp = 0.0 ms for phase L1, 6.7 ms (50 Hz) for phase L2 and 3.3 ms for phase L3 since the optimum phase position for switching lags the reference voltage zero by 0, 120 and 60 electrical degrees. A circuit-breaker always has a certain spread of the operating time and dynamic dielectric ‘strength characteristic named Rate of Decrease of Dielectric Strength at closing and with abbreviation RODS (in the figures in this document also named upa). Statistically, the best phase angle for closing is somewhat delayed with respect to that which is the theoretically most favourable one since-a (00 early pre-striking resuits in higher pre-strike voltage compared to that of an equally much delayed pre-striking. With SWITCHSYNC F236 this is taken into account by the input petameter Toe (example according to Figure 3.2). Since closing usually takes place by pre-arcing, the time from Issued commend untl the ircult is energised (make time) is normally shorter than the mechanical closing time measured from command output until contact touch. SWITCHSYNG F236 takes this into account by the entered input parameter Tyg (example according to Figure 3.2).

Further, Tp is defined as the time interval from the second to iast current zoro to the instant of intended contact separation. For a single-pole operated circuit-breaker, Tp2 can be chosen for each pole separately to ‘maximize the arcing time within the ‘window’ limited by the second to fast currant zero and current interruption, see Figure 3.3.

The increasing voltage withstand across the contact gap by time, Rale of Rise of Dielectric Strength (RRDS) time is ilustrated in Figure 3.3 and denoted as upg.

Capacitor banks are normally discharged before onergising takes place. This means that a capacitor bank having an earthed neutral shall be energised in reversed phase sequence at intervals of 60 electrical degrees, when the respective supply voltage is zero, ‘When the bank has a floating neutral or is delta-connected, itis most beneficial fo energise ‘two phases when the supply side voltage between these phases is zero, and then energise the third phase another 90 electrical degrees (1/4 cycle) later. To compensate for the influence of aging effects, adaptive closing should be used regardiess of the type of earthing, Controlled de-energising of capacitor banks, with the intention of eliminating risks for re- strikes, is normally unnecessary since circuit-breakers are dimensioned to have a very low probability for re-strikes. In some cases, however, an increased safety against re-strikes may be desirable, SWITCHSYNG F236 offers this possibility combined with controlled closing. Detailed instructions are given in sections 7.9.1 - 7.9.8. ‘With single-pole operated circuit-broakers, switching instants for the poles can be pre-set independent of each ottier for closing as well as opening. Instructions are given in sections 793,794,797 and7.9.8. Since pole staggering ofa three-pole operated circult-breaker is determined by a fixed mechanical design, the closing and opening sequences depend on each other and a suitable compromise for both controlled closing and controlled opening cannot always be found. For capacitor banks, the possibities to create good control schemes for both closing and ‘opening are most suitable for banks having floating neutral, see section 7.9.6. For banks having earthed neutral the possiblities are limited. However, instructions are given in section 729.2. In spocial switching cases, @.g., controlled closing of circuit-breaker provided with pre- insertion resistors, refer to ABB AB or its local representative.

Energising excites a current harmonic with the resonance frequency of the filer which may bo perceptible during sovoral periods, By controlled energising at voltage zero, the current ‘amplitude may be reduced by, typically, about 60 per cent but the harmonic content cannot be completely eliminated. Anyway, the harmonics are generally not troublesome enough to motivate controlled energising in itself: In some applications, the tima from the preceding opening may be that short that the capacitors hava not been discharged prior to closing. In the worst case, energising close to source-side voltage zero then reduces energising transients only by hai compared to not controlled switching (pre-strike characteristic of the circult-braaker also makes the energising instant undetermined). In some eases, further reduction can be achieved by special arrangements. Compared to a shunt capacitor, de-eneraising a harmonic fiter entails a somewhat increased probabil for both re-ignitions and re-strkes, partly because the transient recovery voltage (TRV) starts with a steep transient of moderate amplitude and partly because the TRV peak value is somewhat higher. In addition, fitters are often used together with thyristor-controlled equipment waich may superimpose commutation transients on the ‘TRV. Re-lgnitions and re-strikes presant a risk of insulation failure in nearby equipment, typically by repeated puncturing of solid insulation in reactors, instrument transformers, etc. ‘Away to avoid this is to control the phase position of contact separation in the same manner, in principle, as for shunt reactors (see below). Interruption at a certain polarity may be beneficial for some applications, see example 7.9.4 b. Detalled instructions for fiter applications are not given hére. Instead, reference is made to ABB AB oF the local ABB representative for discussion and, if needed, a controlled switching solution for specified cases. “The strategies for the closing sequence when energising shunt reactors are aimed to reduce inrush current and associated zero sequence currents. itis often possible to disregard remanence in connection with reactors. Generally, phase currents shail therefore start close to their natural zero, Le., with as litle asymmetry as possible. The demand on precision in targeting is equal to that for capacitor bank closing, which is why adaptive closing should be Used. The best closing sequence depends on how the phases ara inter coupled 9 each other via the magnetic and electric circuits Controlled opening is intended to eliminate re-ignitions by aiving the contact gep of the ircuit-breaker time to restore its dielectric withstand before the voltage recovers, In other words by maximizing the arcing time. The best opening sequence between phases for this depends on the types of earthing and load in a corresponding manner as fer closing. ‘The lolersnce demand for do-energising is, for each phase, determined by a contact separation ‘window" starting at the next to last current zero and with an end corresponding to the shortest arcing time which does not result in re-igntion. The shortest arcing tims ‘depends on cicuit-breaker characteristics, network and load data. Normally, the tolerance requirement is less for de-energising than for energising the reactors. It should however be noted that, in some cases, the window may be so smell that it does not allow for normal ‘opening time variations. This is especially to be observed for reactors with isolated neutral, ‘oF when switching off very small reactors producing very high chopping overvoltages. In sich ‘cases the contact parting can be controlled to start prior to the next to last current zero. resulting in controlled thermal re-igntions followed by re-ignition free interruption at the next fundamental frequency current zero, ‘Adaptive opening, by re-ignition detection, is a very efficient means to avoid repeated re- ignitions and is possible with SWITCHSYNC F236 with the upgraded hard- and software (C- ‘and B respectively). By using this function the controller wil automatically prolong the arcing time after every detected re-ignition in order to avoid them to appear repeatedly. This funetion is working independently for éach phase. As a further precaution the controller SWITCHSYNC F236 has been upgraded with aPage Dept. Date umber Language Rev. Sioa Avg, Datum Nummer Spak Rew 10 BT 015.0490 S4OBTAIDIE Eng 9 ABB AB blocking function such that makes circul-breeker operation impossible when the same pole thas re-ignited three times. If that condition has been reached itis necessary to check the sircuit-breaker condition and therefore the controller blocks for further operations. This function is included for controllers with software version E or later. Controlling both closing and opening of shunt reactors is common. With single-pole operated circuit-breakers, switching instants for each pole can be pre-set Independently of each other for closing as well as opening. Since the switching sequence of a three-pole operated ciccull-breaker is determined by a fixed mechanical design, the opering sequence is opposite to that at closing and has different pole displacement depending on differing contact speeds at opening and closing. A suitable compromise cannot always be found, and good controlled switching solutions for both opening and closing are limited fo threeimbed type reactors and reactors with floating neutral. Even for these, the combination of closing precision and opening "window" may require special mechanical staggering designs. Instructions for common réactor switching applications are given in section 7.9. For special cases refer to ABB AB or the local ABB representative. For reactor grounded shunt reactors the optimum settings will depend upon the relation between the inductance of the neutral grounding reactor and the phase to neutral inductance. The relationship may vary and itis not possible to tabulate optimum settings for all possible combinations. Therefore itis the ABB AB recommendation to select the settings for ungrounded shunt reactors for all cases where the neuial inductance is in the same range cor higher than the phase inductance, Power transformers: Transformers are ususlly switched unloaded, Controlled opening in order to reduce transients is hardly motivated. On the other hand, energising at unsuitable phase positions resulis in considerable current surges which makes controlled closing beneficial, Different transformer types can in the simplest approach, ie.,.f the residual flux is ignored, be energised in the same way as for a corresponding reactor type, see Table 4 Experiences have shown that in some cases the residual flux can in fact be ignored. This is ‘especially the case if the capacitance between circull-breaker and transformers is so large that the capacitive energy at the previous interruption was sufficient to demagnetize the iron core. This can usually be seen by studying voltage variations on the load side after interruption, In other cases the residval flux can be considerable and the controlled switching strategy according to the principles for energising a reactor gives an unsatisfactory resul. if fhe circuit is the same af every switching occasion, this problem can offen be solved by controling both ‘opening and closing, whereby controlled closing can be adjusted to ft the residual flux ‘defined by the contrled opening. An example is given in section 7.9.26. With single-pole operated circuit-breakers, switching instants for the poles can be pre-set independently of each other for closing as well as opening. Since the switching sequence of a three-pole operated circuit-braaker is determined by a ‘xed mechanical design, the opening and closing sequences depend on each other. H may be dificult to find a compromise which yields an absolute minimum of influence of residual flux on magnetic flux symmetry at closing. itis also dificult to predict the behaviour of the Circuit by calculation, parlly because magnetic characteristics and stray capacitances are ificull to modal exactly, and partly because the exact interruption instants of the no-load Currents are difficut to predict. Yet, experiences have shown that with a given cireu breaker, oven with simultaneous pole operation, it can by practical tests be found a combination of opening and closing instants resulting in substantially reduced inrush currents, ‘The demand on pracision al controlied energising of a transformer can be as high as for capacitors and reactors, which is why adaptation control is desired. The low magnetizing current of a no-load transformer will, however, make it Impossible to use detection of current onset for adaptation. The detection delay will also be unpredictable.

For special transformer switching cases, refer to ABB AB or its local representative. Energising or re-energising a no-load line is preferably done when the voltage across each breaker pole is zero. Thereby voltage transients are eliminated which can be a threat to the insulation of the fine and apparatus connected to the far end of the tine. A difference from energising a capacitor bank is, however, that voltage on the load side cannot generally be ignored; it mains on the line during @ considerably long time after opening eilher as a decreasing ¢.c. voltage or, for a shunt comperisated line, as a decreasing alternating voltage with a frequency deviating from that of the network. Even for a line which has already been discharged, Itis dificult to predict coupling between phases, ‘and therefore voltage on the load side for the phases which are not first energised. Using SWITCHSYNC F236 for line switching the above mentioned complications resultin controlled closing al fixed contact touch instants and based on a referenee voltage only and ‘give 2 certain transient reduction although the optimum targets cannot be reached (due to Unforeseen pre-arcing times). Tie voltage transient reduction when using SWITCHSYNC. F236 will depend upon the circull-breaker characteristics, the steepness of the decreasing voltage withstand during closing and the closing time spread. ‘An example for controlled line energising is given in section 7.9.27 In that example the tine can be either uncompensated or shunt reactor compensated.

For switching of uncompensated lines ABB can offer @ special controller SWITCHSYNC L183 which has the ability to also take the line voltage into account (see document S408 722-4106), Controlled de-energising of lines is motivated only in exceptional cases, Such a case can be iT special network situations cause higher recovery voltages than those for which the line roull-breakers are intended.

If the program fails in doing that, its stopped and the text "WATCHDOG ALARM / REFER TO MANUAL" is shown on the display. COMMAND 1 and COMMAND 2 are two inputs for DC voltage which are sensed by the computer via optocouplers, When breaker closing or opening is required, voltage is applied ton the corresponding input via the control switch for the circuit-breaker, see section 7.3, Command routes. REFERENCE VOLTAGE for the network vollage consists of a transformer and # half- wave. rectifier built together with an operation amplifier. This gives a square pulse starting with steep fronts at zero passage with positive derivative. CURRENT DETECTOR (3 pcs.] for adaptive control via current onset consists of 2 current ‘tansformer with ful-wave rectifying an¢ firing. The rectified signal is compared to an adjustable level in @ comparator which output signal is sensed by the computer. By means of |umpers on the detector hoard the delectors can also be set to operate on current change detection, The detector can detect energising instants at controlled closing but also detect if {an interruption was ¢e-ignition free oF not.

VOLTAGE ONSET DETECTOR (3 pes:} for adaptive control via PT or auxiliary contacts of the cireult-breaker consists of an optocoupler coupled via a capacitor in paraliet with a large. resistor, By means of jumpers on the delector board itis possible to choose adaptive controt via these detectors or via the current onset detectors. Adjustments of the output commands, wil be made for the next operation if intended result was not met. ‘TEMPERATURE sensor input is, via an A/D converter, connected to a measurement ‘ransclucer (4-20 mA) which enables compensation for tomperature dependence of the circuit-breaker's operating times. EXTRA COMPENSATION sensor input is, via an A/D converter, connected to a ‘measurement transducer (4 - 20 mA) which enables compersalion for some other variable thal affects circuit-breaker operating times. ‘SPARE for application control is.an input for DC voltage which, via an optocoupler, by the computer. Its program function has not been decided. OUT 2, b, cstatic relays (3 pcs.) each consist of a field-effect transistor and an electromechanical relay. A delay circuit ensures that the transistor closes and breaks the current, but otherwise the transistor is short-circuited by the relay when the output is activated. This is in order to avold heat build-up in the transistor. OUT 4, ¢, f static relays (3 pes.) are similar to OUT 2, b, and are used for opening ‘operations when both closing and opening operations are to be controlled, see section 7.3, Command routes. ALARM ralay has one free opening contact. This relay is normally activated, but at alarm itis inactivated s0 the contact closes. This is to enable alarm also at loss of power supply. RX, TX, GROUND are modem (2400 bits/s) connections for reading and changing SWITCHSYNC F236 parameters via PC and modem. POWER SUPPLY delivers, after DC/DC conversion, +12, -12, and #5 V to SWITCHSYNC. F236. The green LED above the SERVICE switch, see Figure 5.1.2, indicales voltage on. SERVICE IN/OUT is a toggle switch. In position IN SERVICE the green LED is fit with a sleady light. In position SERVICE OUT the LED flashes as a warning that 10 commands can be sent to the eireut-breaker. In this position, Input values of circult-breaker times, delays, etc., can be checked in successive order on the display. Move to the next value by using the ENTER key. RESET is a push-button switch used to acknowledge any alarms, if any, from SWITCHSYNC F236 and, in combination with the CURSOR keys, enter new data. At alarm acknowledgement, the fault message on the display is also erased. ALARM is @ red LED which is lit when SWITCHSYNC F236 activates its alarm relay. Push buttons CURSOR < and CURSOR -+ are used fo move the cursor on the display to teft and right and, in combination with the RESET key, decide whether to make @ completely new input or only enter new operating times of the circuit-breaker. sensed DIGIT 4 ang DIGIT T are used to decrease or increase the underlined digit shown on the display. ENTER is used to end the entering of a value and to move to the next entry. DISPLAY is an LCD dleplay with 4 x 20. characters. A screw driver can be inserted through the small hole under the ALARM LED for adjustment of the contrast in the display. D-SUB is a 9-pole D-sub contact. With the SERVICE switch in position OUT, the serial port of a PC be connected to the D-sub contact and, using @ PC program package, checks or changes of SWITCHSYNC F236 parameter settings, check switching times of previous operations, etc. can be made.

Mounting the circuit-breaker Install the circuit-breaker according tots product information. Measure the operating times Tp of the three poles individually. Where circuit-breakers have a common operating device, check that the time differences between the poles are correct for the particular application, ‘At measuring the operating times of the circuit-breaker ambient temperature and the extra Compensation parameter must also be measured if these options are to be used. Regarding Compensation further instructions are given in section 7.2, Also make sure, in case of three-pole operated circuit-breakers, that the installation is done such that the pole ~ phase connections will fit the application! 6.2, Connecting SWITCHSYNC F236 Connect SWITCHSYNC F236 for the particular application. Note that in order to obtain disturbance-free function with three-pole operated circuit-breakers current onset detection should preferably be done in @ phase having a first pole to close. This is not applicable for single-pole operated citcuit-breakers because-current onset detection is then made in each phase separately. In rare cases, however, the extemal cabling may need to be reviewed and ‘corrected to eliminate the risk for “cross-tatking” betwaen secondary cables of neighbouring phases, Rav 6: Tables 9A and 0.4 raveod0"8 04 30Pa Rev. 8: Modified regntion detection function introduced, section 6.4.172014-08-20/R SWITCHSYNG F296
