3.1 Overview

The PCS-9622 relay is a microprocessor based relay which can provide mature protection for
various circumstances. The following sections detail the individual protection functions of this
relay.

NOTE! In each functional element, the signal input [XXXX.En1] is used for inputting the

enabling signals; and the signal input [XXXX.Blk] is used for inputting the blocking
signals. The “XXXX” is the name code of the functional element (such as “50/51P1”, “49”,
“50/51G2” etc.). They can be configured through PCS-Explorer configuration tool
auxiliary software. If the signal input [XXXX.En1] is not used, its default value is “1”; and
if the signal input [XXXX.Blk] is not used, its default value is “0”.

3.3 Current Differential Protection


3.3.1 Current Compensation
During the normal operation, the magnitude and angle of secondary currents of each side of
transformer are different due to the mismatch between the CT ratios and the power transformer
ratio, different voltage levels of each side, and transformer delta-wye connection. The current
difference between each side shall be eliminated before do the calculation of current differential
protection, which is realized by magnitude compensation, phase compensation and
zero-sequence current elimination in program.

Current compensation process is shown in the flowing figure in which a two-winding transformer
with two three-phase CT inputs is taken as an example, and HV and LV sides of the transformer
are connected to side 1 and side 2 inputs of the PCS-9622 respectively. In an ideal situation, the
differential current (i.e. I d =I’_S1+I’_S2)should be zero during the normal operation of the
transformer or an external fault occurring.

Where:

3.3.1.2 Phase Compensation

The following transforming method is based on the assumptions that the positive polarities of CT
at each side is at busbar side.

The current phase compensation for all CTs is achieved by software, and Y→Δ transforming
method is used for this purpose. The vector group of a transformer can be set by the settings
[CTConn], [WdgConn_S1], [Clk_S2_WRT_S1].

If the system logic setting [CTConn] is set as “0”, it means CT winding is star connected, and then
program will select suitable compensation matrix to complete phase compensation automatically
according to the settings [WdgConn_S1], [Clk_S2_WRT_S1]. If [CTConn] is set as “1”, it means
CT winding is delta connected, and the phase compensation is realized by CT winding delta
connection, so there is no need for the compensation calculation in program.

Delta winding side of a transformer is taken as the reference of phase compensation, and currents

3-4 PCS-9622 Transformer Relay

of other sides are transformed through Y→Δ transforming method. When more than one side
winding are delta connected, the first delta winding side is taken as the reference in the sequence
of side 1, side 2. If there is no winding delta connected, for example vector group YN/y0, then a
virtual 11 o’clock winding side is taken as the reference, currents of each side are transformed to
11 o’clock.

The matrix of phase shift and residual current compensations is listed in Table 3.3-1, and relative
o’clock is the leading phase angle of one side compared to the reference side and one o’clock
represents 30°.

For example, as shown in the following figure, a transformer with the vector group YN/d11, side 2
is taken as the reference side, so the relative o’clock of side 2 is 0 o’clock (i.e. 0° lag), the relative

o’clock of side 1 is 1 o’clock (i.e. 30° lag). In Equation 3.3-1, M 1 ,M 2 represent the matrixes of
relative o’clock 1,0respectively. In the following figure, IA, IB, IC are three-phase current vector of
star side of transformer, and Ia, Ib, Ic are three-phase current vector of delta side.

Figure 3.3-2 O’clock show diagram of transformer winding

For example, a transformer with the vector group YN/yn2, a virtual side of 11 o’clock delta
connection is taken as the reference side, so the relative o’clock of side 1, side 2 are 1 o’clock (i.e.

30° lag), 3 o’clock (i.e. 90°lag) respectively. In Equation 3.3-1, M 1 ,M 2 represent the matrix of
relative o’clock 1, 3 respectively.

3.3.1.3 Magnitude Compensation

Power transformer ratio, mismatch between the CT ratios and different voltage levels of each side
will result in different current values of each side during transformer normal operation, so
magnitude compensation should be carried out before the calculation of differential and restraint
currents.

Calculate rated secondary current of each side

Here side 1 is taken as an example to give the calculation equation.

NOTE! In following theory analyzing of differential protection, the currents mentioned are

all per unit values which probably are not pointed out again.

In order to ensure the calculation precision of differential protection, rated secondary current of
each side should meet the following criterion.

Where:

I 2bS 1 ,I 2bS 2 are respectively rated secondary currents of side 1, side 2 and side 3 of
transformer.

I 2nS 1 ,I 2nS 2 are rated secondary current of CT at side 1, side 2 and side 3 of differential
protection.

When viewing settings and values of conventional current differential protection in the relay, user
will find the unit “pu” (per unit). The current in differential protection calculation is not actual
secondary value but per unit value which is got by actual secondary value of each side of

transformer divided by transformer secondary rated current of each side ( I 2bS 1 ,I 2bS 2 ).

3.3.1.4 Zero-sequence Current Elimination

In the following two cases, zero-sequence current cannot be transformed from one side to another
side of a transformer, which will result in a steady-state differential current at the differential relay,
so zero-sequence current must be eliminated before the calculation of differential and restraint
currents to avoid an unwanted operation of the current differential relay.

Case 1: When an external fault occurs at the wye winding side of the wye-delta connected
transformer (such as a transformer with the vector group YNd11), zero-sequence current exits at
the wye winding side but cannot be transformed to delta winding side.

Case 2: When an earthing transformer is connected between a transformer and differential CT at


the delta winding side, if an external earth fault occurs at this side, zero-sequence current only
flow through this side CT and zero-sequence current cannot be transformed to other side CT.

Zero-sequence current is already eliminated by Y→△ transforming at wye side in program, and
zero-sequence current at delta winding side are optional to be eliminated by configuring the logic
settings ([En_I0Elim_Sx], x=1, 2) of each side.

The biased differential protection with low pickup setting and restraint slope, which is also called
sensitive biased differential protection, is more sensitive to operate during slight internal fault
occurs. Besides, four blocking elements, CT saturation, inrush current (optional), overexciation
(optional) and CT circuit failure (optional), are equipped for the protection to prevent it from
unwanted operation during an external fault. Operation criterion of this sensitive biased differential
protection is:

The biased differential protection with high slope and high setting is equipped with the equipment.
This protection, also called conventional differential protection, is blocked only by inrush current
criterion and CT circuit failure (optional).

Conventional biased differential protection can prevent the influence of steady state and transient
CT saturation during an external fault and can operate correctly and quickly during an internal
fault even if CT is saturated. Operation criterion of this conventional biased differential protection
is:

If the pickup setting of sensitive biased differential protection (i.e. [87T.I_Biased]) is greater than
1.2In, then the pickup current of conventional biased differential protection will change to
[87T.I_Biased] automatically.

3.3.4 Unrestrained Instantaneous Differential Protection Element


The aim of unrestrained instantaneous differential protection for a transformer is to accelerate the
trip when a serious inner fault occurs. Therefore the element does not need any block element,
but the setting should be greater than maximum inrush current.

Unrestrained instantaneous differential element in the PCS-9671 shall operate to trip breakers at
all sides of a transformer when the differential current of any phase is higher than its setting. Its
operation criterion is:

CT saturation, inrush current (optional), overexciation (optional) and CT circuit failure (optional). It
can ensure the sensitivity of the protection and avoid an unwanted operation when CT is
saturated during an external fault. Its operation area is the tint shadow area in the figure above.

(2) The conventional biased differential protection element will send tripping signal only with
blocking by inrush current and CT circuit failure (optional). It eliminates the influence of transient
and steady saturation of CT during an external fault and ensures the reliable operation even if CT
is saturated during an internal fault by means of its biased restraint characteristic. Its operation
area is the deeper shadow area in the figure above.

(3) The unrestrained instantaneous differential protection element will send tripping signal without
any blocking if differential current of any phase reaches its setting. Its operation area is over the
above two areas with the deepest dark shadow.

3.3.6 Inrush Current Detection Element


In the equipment, the second harmonic of differential current can be used to distinguish inrush
current. Once inrush current is detected, and then biased differential protection is blocked, which
is harmonic restraint principle.

3.3.6.1 Distinguishing by Harmonics

There are four blocking modes for users to select.

Unblocking mode

Unblocking means inrush current detection element is disabled, so differential protection will not
be blocked by inrush current.

Phase-segregated blocking mode

When any phase satisfies the following equation, the biased differential protection of this phase
will be blocked. The criterion is as following.

I d _ 2nd  [87T.K_Hm2]  I d _ 1st



I Equation 3.3-9
 d _ 3rd  [87T.K_Hm3]  I d _ 1st

Where:

I d _ 2nd and I d _ 3rd are the second and third harmonics of phase differential current

respectively.

I d _ 1st is the fundamental component of the differential current of the corresponding phase.

[87T.K_Hm2] and [87T.K_Hm3] are the setting values of restraint coefficient of second and third
harmonics respectively, and [87T.K_Hm3] is set fixedly to 0.2 in program.

Cross blocking mode

When any phase satisfies Equation 3.3-9 and the operation criterion of the phase of biased
differential protection has been satisfied, the biased differential protection of three phases will be
blocked.

Composite blocking mode

When the maximum value of fundamental component and maximum value of secondary harmonic
of three phase differential currents satisfy the following equation, three-phase differential
protection are blocked. The criterion is as following.

I d _ 2nd. max  [87T.K_Hm2]  I d _ 1st. max



I Equation 3.3-10
 d _ 3rd. max  [87T.K_Hm3]  I d _ 1st. max

Where:

I d _ 1st. max is the maximum value of the fundamental component of three phase differential

currents.

I d _ 2nd. max and I d _ 3rd. max are respectively maximum values of the secondary harmonic and

third harmonic of three phase differential currents.

[87T.K_Hm2] and [87T.K_Hm3] have been described above.

3.3.7 CT Saturation Detection Element


In order to prevent unwanted operation of biased differential protection caused by transient or
steady state saturation of CT during external fault, composite harmonics of CT is used for the
protection equipment to discriminate saturation of CT. The criterion is as followings.

I d _ 2nd  K sat _ 2nd  I d _ 1st



I Equation 3.3-11
 d _ 3rd  K sat _ 3rd  I d _ 1st

Where:

I d _1st is the fundamental component of differential current of some phase.

I d _ 2nd is the secondary harmonic of differential current of the corresponding phase.

I d _ 3rd is the third harmonic of differential current of some phase.

K sat _ 2nd , K sat _ 3rd are fixed coefficients.

If any harmonic of one phase differential current meets above formula, it will be considered that it
is CT saturation to cause this phase differential current and related sensitive biased differential
element will be blocked.

3.3.8 Overexcitation Blocking Function


When a transformer is overexcited, the exciting current will increase sharply which may result in
an unwanted operation of differential protection. Therefore the overexcitation shall be
discriminated to block differential protection. The fifth harmonic of differential current is used as
the criterion of overexcitation discrimination.

I d _ 5th  [87T .K _ Hm5]  I d _1st Equation 3.3-12

Where:

I d _ 1st is the fundamental component of differential current.

I d _ 5th is the fifth harmonics of differential current.

[87T.K_Hm5] is the setting of fifth harmonics restraint coefficient.

3.3.9 CT Supervision for Current Differential Protection


The CT supervision function consists of two aspects: differential CT circuit abnormality without
pickup of fault detector of differential protection and CT circuit failure with the fault detector pickup.

3.3.9.1 Differential CT Circuit Abnormality Alarm

Differential CT circuit abnormality detection is realized during sampling program. If anyone of two
following criteria is met, CT circuit abnormality alarm will be issued after 10 s without blocking
differential protection.

(1) Any phase differential current is greater than setting [87T.I_Alm].

(2) I d 2      I d _ 1st. max

Where:

I d 2 is negative-sequence differential current.

I d _ 1st. max is the maximum phase differential current.

 is the fixed threshold.

 is the ratio coefficient.

Differential current alarm setting [87T.I_Alm] should be greater than the differential current during
transformer operation with the tap not in middle position or the maximum differential current during
other operation conditions.

NOTE! Differential current alarm setting [87T.I_Alm] should be less than the pickup

setting of differential current [87T.I_Biased] and usually be set between the value of
maximum differential current during transformer operation with the tap not in middle
position and the least value of the setting [87T.I_Biased].

3.3.9.2 Differential CT Circuit Failure Discrimination

Differential CT circuit failure discrimination will be enabled after pickup of fault detector of
differential protection if logic setting of biased differential protection is set as “1” and binary input of
blocking differential protection is set as “0”.

Any one of following three criteria is met after fault detector (FD) of biased differential protection
pickup, CT circuit failure discrimination will not be carried out.

(1) Maximum phase current of some side is lower than 0.2pu ( is secondary calculated rated
current of transformer) before FD pickup.
When this occurs, only CT circuit failure discrimination of this side will not be carried out.
(2) The maximum phase current is higher than 1.2pu after FD pickup.

(3) Any phase current of any side after pickup is greater than that before FD pickup.

If current of some side satisfies following two criteria simultaneously, then it will be judged as CT
circuit failure immediately.

(1) Only one phase current is lower than pickup setting of biased differential protection
[87T.I_Biased].

(2) The other two phase currents after pickup are equal to those before FD pickup.

[Alm_CTS] is the issued alarm signal indicating that instant CT circuit failure is distinguished.

“Before FD pickup” mentioned in the above figure represents the time 2 cycles (i.e. 40ms) before
the fault detector picks up.

When CT circuit failure is distinguished, then CT circuit failure alarm will be issued with “ALARM”
LED lit on. By configuring the logic setting [87T.En_CTS_Blk], user can get blocking functions to
differential protection. If this logic setting is set as “0”, the biased differential protection will not be
blocked by CT circuit failure. Otherwise, it will be blocked by CT circuit failure.

In order to prevent the maloperation due to CT circuit failure, if maximum phase current is greater
than 1.2pu after the alarm [87T.Alm_CTS] is issued, biased differential protection will be released.

If the alarm is issued, the alarm signal can be reset and “ALARM” can be turned off only after the

failure is removed and the binary input [BI_RstTarg] is energized or manually send command
“Reset_Target” through relay menu, or receiving reset message from SCADA or RTU.

NOTE! CT circuit abnormality and failure alarms indicate abnormality in differential CT

circuit or settings. Both shall be paid attention on site. For example, differential circuits
open cannot make fault detector of differential protection pick up in case of light load but
alarm will be sent. If user treats this abnormality in time, unwanted differential operation
can be avoided if the load increases or external fault occurs.

3.4 Overcurrent Protection

3.4.1 Definite Time Overcurrent Protection


The overcurrent protection in this relay provides a 3-stage phase overcurrent protection with
independent definite time characteristics. Each stage can be enabled or disabled independently
by the logic settings respectively. All overcurrent element, voltage control element settings apply
to all three phases but are independent for each of the four stages. Configuring the relevant
settings can enable or disable the corresponding protection.

The first two stages of overcurrent protection only have definite time characteristics, and they
have the same protective functional logic. The stage 3 overcurrent protection can be set as either

3.4.2 Voltage Control Element for Overcurrent Protection


If the current detected 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 two stages of the main overcurrent element, which was described in Section 3.4.1. When the
VCO is enabled, the overcurrent setting can be modified just to be in excess of the maximum
value of the load current.

Ic>[50/51P1.I_Set] Ubc<[50/51P.Upp_VCE] or
U2>[50/51P.U2_VCE]

Note that the 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 this relay is to be applied on an outgoing feeder from a generator station, the use of voltage
controlled overcurrent protection in the feeder 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
transformer into account. If the voltage transformer has a fault, the numerical relay will issue a
[VTS.Alm] signal and block all the elements that relate to the voltage measurement.

The logic diagram of the voltage control overcurrent protection is shown in Figure 3.4-2. Each
stage of the overcurrent protection can be set with voltage control by its relevant independent
setting respectively. The detailed logic diagram for the voltage control element of phase A for the
stage 1 overcurrent protection is shown as below. The logic diagrams for voltage control elements
of phase B and phase C can be gotten on the analogy of this.

3.4.3 Inverse Definite Minimum Time Overcurrent Protection


The stage 3 overcurrent protection also can be used as inverse definite minimum time (IDMT)
overcurrent protection if the setting [50/51P3.Opt_Curve] is not set as “0”.

Three 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 IEC60255-3
and IEEE Std C37.112-1996 standard).

Some recommended types of IDMT characteristic curves are applied in this relay. It is also can be
programmed according to the demand of the special practical application through the
PCS-Explorer configuration tool auxiliary software.

The setting [50/51P3.Opt_Curve] can be used to select the expected curve.

3.5 Zero Sequence Overcurrent Protection

The zero sequence overcurrent protection in this relay provides two groups of 2-stage zero
sequence overcurrent protections with independent definite time delay characteristics. Each stage
can be enabled or disabled independently by the corresponding logic setting respectively, and can
be controlled with the directional element, harmonic blocking element respectively. Hereinafter,
No.1 means HV side group, No.2 means LV side group.

The zero sequence current of the No.1 zero sequence overcurrent protection can be led from one
dedicated zero sequence current transformer or be self-calculated (through the setting [Opt_3I0]),
and the zero sequence current of the No.2 zero sequence overcurrent protection only can be led
from another dedicated zero sequence current transformer.

For the No.1 group, the stage 2 zero sequence overcurrent protection can be set to “Alarm_Only”
mode, under this mode no trip output will be sent; only alarm will issue when it operates.

For the No.2 group, the stage 2 zero sequence overcurrent protection can be set to IDMT zero
sequence overcurrent protection, see Section 3.5.2 for details.

3.5.1 Definite Time Zero Sequence Overcurrent Protection


When this relay is used in non-effective grounding (such as the delta side of a transformer) or
small current grounding system, the grounding zero sequence current during earth fault is
basically small capacitive current. Correct selection of faulty phase in zero sequence protection
cannot be ensured by detection of such a current. Since all protection equipments are connected
with each other via network and information resource can be shared in the substation automation
system, so the faulty feeder can be identified firstly by comparing information from various feeders
which are connected to the same busbar and then decided finally by trial tripping of the circuit
breaker of the selected feeder. In this case, the zero sequence current has to be led from a zero
sequence current transformer.

When this relay is used in small resistance grounding system, the grounding zero sequence
current during earth fault is larger and can be used for tripping directly. All stages are equipped for
the zero sequence current protection. In this case, the zero sequence current for tripping can be
calculated or directly led from a zero sequence current transformer.

Here, take the No.1 zero sequence overcurrent protection as an example to explain the operation
theory of the zero sequence overcurrent protection. The operation theory of the No.2 zero
sequence overcurrent protection can be gotten on the analogy of this.

The following figure shows the logic diagram of the No.1 zero sequence protection. The No.2 zero
sequence protection has the same logic diagram with the No.1 zero sequence protection.

sequence inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) overcurrent protection. It has the same inverse
time characteristic with the IDMT overcurrent protection (see Section 3.4.3), and the setting
[L.50/51G2.Opt_Curve] can be used to select the expected curve.

3.6 Negative Sequence Overcurrent Protection

3.6.1 Definite Time Negative Sequence Overcurrent Protection


The application of negative sequence overcurrent protection to motors has a special significance.
Unbalanced loads create counter-rotating fields in three-phase induction motors, which act on the

PCS-9622 Transformer Relay 3-25

3 Operation Theory

rotor at double frequency. Eddy currents are induced on the rotor surface, which causes local
overheating in rotor end zones and the slot wedges. This especially goes for motors which are
tripped via vacuum contactors with fuses connected in series. With single phasing due to
operation of a fuse, the motor only generates small and pulsing torques such that it soon is
thermally strained assuming that the torque required by the machine remains unchanged.

This relay provides a two-stage negative sequence overcurrent protection with definite time delay
characteristics for the HV side. Each stage can be enabled or disabled by scheme logic settings
independently. The two stages have same protection logics if they are set with definite time
characteristics.

The logic diagram for the stage 1 negative sequence overcurrent protection is shown as below.
The stage 2 zero sequence protection has the same logic diagram with the stage 1.

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 [50PBlk.Op] 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.

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 during startup and normal operation procedure,
plays an important role.

The numerical relay based on the microprocessor operations has the capability 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 this relay is out of service. Therefore you must re-energize the relay or even replace a
module to make this relay back into service.

4.2 Supervision Functions

4.2.1 Device Hardware Supervision


The MCU, RAM, ROM chips in this relay are monitored continuously to ensure whether they are
damaged or have some errors.

If any one of them is detected damaged or having error, this relay will be blocked, the alarm signal
[Fail_Device] will be issued, and the LED indicator “HEALTHY” will be off at the same time.

4.2.2 Board Configuration Error Supervision


If the board configuration of this relay does not comply with the program software of this relay, the
alarm signals [Fail_Device] and [Fail_BoardConfig] will be issued, and the LED indicator
“HEALTHY” will be off at the same time.

4.2.3 Setting Supervision


This relay has 10 setting groups, but only one is active at any time. The settings of active setting
group are checked continuously.

If anyone of the active settings is confirmed to be modified, this relay will be blocked, the alarm
signals [Fail_Device] and [Fail_Setting] will be issued; meanwhile, if the modified setting is out of
the appointed range, the alarm signal [Fail_Setting_OvRange] will be issued at the same time.
The LED indicator “HEALTHY” will be off at the same time.

If anyone of the items of the setting file is changed (the program of this relay is updated), the
alarm signal [Fail_SettingItem_Chgd] will be issued. The LED indicator “HEALTHY” will be off at
the same time.

If the settings which are from the HMI module to the main CPU module are not in accordance with

PCS-9622 Transformer Relay 4-1


Date: 2013-02-22
4 Supervision

the current settings of the main CPU module, the alarm signal [Alm_Setting_MON] will be issued.
The LED indicator “ALARM” will be on at the same time.

4.2.4 Program Version Supervision


If the relay detects that the current program version is not in accordance with the program version
which is defined by the manufacturer, the alarm signal [Alm_Version] will be issued. The LED
indicator “ALARM” will be on at the same time.

4.2.5 Tripped Position Contact Supervision


If the relay detects that the tripped auxiliary contact position is on (i.e., the value of [BI_52b] is “1”.),
meanwhile any phase current is greater than 0.04In, and such a condition keeps for longer than
10 seconds, the alarm signals [Alm_Device] and [Alm_52b] will be issued, and the LED indicator
“ALARM” will be on at the same time.

The logic diagram of the tripped position contact supervision function is shown as below.

4.2.6 Low Pressure Binary Input Supervision


This relay has two binary inputs [BI_LowPres_Cls] which is used to indicate the state of the circuit
breaker mechanism.

If the binary input [BI_LowPres_Cls] is energized longer than the time setting
[BI_LowPres_Trp.Set_DlTm], this relay will issue the alarm signals [Alm_Device] and
[Alm_LowPres_Cls]; and the LED indicator “ALARM” will be on at the same time.

4.2.7 VT Circuit Supervision


The voltage transformer supervision (VTS) feature is used to detect failure of the AC voltage input
circuit of this 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.

 Protection VT supervision

If this relay detects any one of the following two conditions is satisfied, it means that the
protection VT is in abnormal status.

(1) The negative phase sequence voltage is greater than 8V.

4-2 PCS-9622 Transformer Relay


Date: 2013-02-22
4 Supervision

(2) The positive phase sequence voltage is less than 30V, and any of the phase currents is
greater than 0.04In.

Then the alarm signals [Alm_Device] and [VTS.Alm] are issued 10s later, and the LED
“ALARM” will be on at the same time. When the protection VT status returns to normal
condition, the alarm will restore automatically 1.25s later. In case the protection VT circuit is
failed, these protective elements dependent on voltage will be blocked.

4.2.8 CT Circuit Supervision


The main purpose of the current transformer supervision (CTS) function is to detect faults in the
secondary circuits of the current transformer and avoid influence on the operation of relevant
protection functions. This current transformer supervision (CTS) function will be in operation at
any time, whether the general fault detection picks up or not.

The criteria of the CTS element are:

1. The HV side, max{Ia_S1,Ib_S1,Ic_S1} > 0.2In;

2. The HV side, max{Ia_S1,Ib_S1,Ic_S1} > 4Ia or 4Ic.

If both of the above criterions are satisfied, the alarm signals [Alm_Device] and [CTS.Alm] will be
issued after 10s delay, and the LED indicator “ALARM” will be on at the same time.

4.2.9 Overload Supervision


See Section 3.7 for the details. When the overload alarm situation is detected, the alarm signals
[Alm_Device] and [50PAlm.Op] will be issued, and the LED indicator “ALARM” will be on at the
same time.

4.2.10 Time Synchronization Supervision


If the time synchronization function is enabled in this relay, but this relay detects the time
synchronization is not correct, the alarm signals [Alm_Device] and [Alm_TimeSync] will be issued
and the LED indicator “ALARM” will be on at the same time.

4.2.11 Auxiliary Communication Testing Supervision


If this relay is in the auxiliary communication testing of binary signal or metering, the alarm signals
[Alm_Device] and [Alm_CommTest] will be issued and the LED indicator “ALARM” will be on at
the same time.

4.2.12 Device Maintenance Supervision


If this relay is in the maintenance situation (the binary input which is used for denoting
maintenance situation is energized), the alarm signals [Alm_Device] and [Alm_Maintenance] will
be issued and the LED indicator “ALARM” will be on at the same time.

4.2.13 A/D Sampling Supervision


If the sampling value of the dual channel is inconsistent, the alarm signals [Alm_Sample] will be
issued and the LED indicator “ALARM” will be on at the same time. The related protection

5 Management Function

5.1 Overview

The relay provides some management functions, such as protection sampling, metering, remote
control, signaling, event recording and fault & disturbance recording etc. All these functions can
ensure this relay meets the requirements of a modern power grid.

5.2 Measurement

This relay produces a variety of both directly and calculated power system quantities. Two kinds of
measurements are supported in this relay: protection sampling and metering. All these
measurands also can be transmitted to the SAS or RTU through communication. See Chapter 9
for more information about the communication and protocols.

5.2.1 Protection Sampling


This relay samples the protection related values with 24-point sampling rate per cycle. These
protection sampled values are being updated per 0.5s and can be viewed in the submenu
“Measurement1” of this relay or via relay communication. See Section 8.2.4 for more details
about the protection measurands.

5.2.2 Metering
This relay samples the metering values with 48-point sampling rate per cycle. These metering
values are being undated per 0.5s and can be viewed in the submenu “Measurement3” of this
relay or via relay communication. See Section 8.2.4 for more details about the metering values.

5.3 Circuit Breaker Control

This relay can receive the control commands to trip or close the circuit breaker. Up to 5 groups of
output relays in this relay can be configured as control outputs (closing and tripping). And only the
first closing output (local or remote) can be configured with synchronism check or dead check.

The control function includes local control and remote control. The local control command can be
gotten through the binary inputs or the submenu “Control” (see Section 8.2.9.4). The remote
control command can be from the substation automatic system through the communication.

Before executing a remote control command, it is necessary to put the control switch at the
“Remote” position to make the binary signal [BI_EnTeleCtrl] be “1”.

The remote control commands include remote tripping command, remote closing command etc.
See Chapter 9 for more information about the communication and protocols.

The demonstration diagram of the control function is shown as below.

The human machine interface (HMI) module is installed on the front panel of this device. It is used
to observe the running status and event information on the LCD, and configure the protection
settings and device operation mode. It can help the user to know the status of this relay and
detailed event information easily, and provide convenient and friendly access interface for the user.
Please see Chapter 8 for further details about how to access the human machine interface.

6.4 Power Supply Module (NR4304)

The power supply module is a power supply converter with electrical insulation between input and
output, and a maximum output power of 30W. The power supply module has an input voltage
range as described in Section 2.1.1.1. The standardized output DC voltages are +3.3V, +5V, ±12V
and +24V. The tolerances of the output voltages are continuously monitored.

The +3.3Vdc output provides power supply for the microchip processors, and the +5Vdc output
provides power supply for all the electrical elements that need +5Vdc power supply in this relay.
The ±12Vdc output provides power supply for A/D conversion circuits in this device, and the

6.5 Main CPU Module (NR4106)

The main CPU module is the central 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 this relay.

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

 Protection calculations

The main CPU module can calculate protective elements (such as overcurrent element, zero
sequence overcurrent etc.) on the basis of the analog sampled values (voltages and currents)
and binary inputs, and then decides whether the device needs to trip or close.

 Communication management

The main CPU module can effectively manage all communication procedures, and reliably
send out some useful information through its various communication interfaces. These
interfaces are used to communicate with a SAS or a RTU. It also can communicate with the
human machine interface module. If an event occurs (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.

 Auxiliary calculations

Based on the voltage and current inputs, the main CPU module also can calculate out the
metering 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.

 Time Synchronization

This module has a local clock chip and an interface to receive time synchronized signals from
external clock source. These signals include PPS (pulse per second) signal and IRIG-B

PCS-9622 Transformer Relay 6-5

signal. Basing on the timing message (from SAS or RTU) and the PPS signal, or basing on
the IRIG-B signal, this module can synchronize local clock with the standard clock.

There are three types of main CPU modules, and the view of the main CPU module is shown in
Figure 6.5-1.

6.6 Analog Input Module (NR4412)

The analog input module can transform high AC input values to relevant low AC output value,
which are suited to the analog inputs of the main CPU module. 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 or VT) secondary circuit for reducing the noise of each analog
AC input signal.

NOTE! The rated value of the 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 current transformer is optional, it is necessary to

check whether the rated value of the current transformer inputs is according to the
demand of the engineering scheme before the device is put into operation.

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

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

There are two types of analog input modules: NR4412 with 26 pins and NR4412 with 24 pins. The
view of the analog input module is shown in Figure 6.6-1

6.7 Binary Input Module (NR4501)

The binary input module contains some binary inputs which are used to monitor the contact
positions of the corresponding bay, and all the binary inputs are configurable through
PCS-Explorer configuration tool. Some of them are used as general purpose binary inputs, and
others are used as special purpose binary inputs. These binary inputs are all optical isolated
binary inputs.

The regular optical isolated binary inputs are used to monitor the position of the regular binary
signals; the special optical isolated binary inputs are used to monitor the position of the special
binary signals, which must be taken into account in the protection and interlock logic calculations
of the main CPU module.

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 are not configured correctly, this
relay maybe works abnormally (such as communication interruption, printing out unexpected
codes etc.), it also can lead to much more serious accident (such as unwanted operation, missing
operation) sometimes.

The settings of this relay include system settings, protection settings, communication settings and
miscellaneous settings. The user can configure these settings or parameters manually. Remote
modification is also supported (IEC61850, IEC60870-5-103 or DNP3.0 interface, see Chapter 9
for the details about these protocols).

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.

7.2 System Settings

The system settings (in the submenu “System Settings”) are mainly used to set the rated value
of VT and CT.

The following table lists all the system parameters.

NOTE!

1. The system settings are related to the protection activities, thus it is necessary to configure
theses settings according to actual conditions.

2. The setting [Opt_3I0] is used to select the HV side zero sequence current source. Setting the
value of [Opt_3I0] as “1” means that the HV side zero sequence current is self-calculated,
and setting the value as “0” means that the HV side zero sequence current is derived from
specific zero sequence CT. The default value is “0” when the equipment is delivered.

7.3 Protection Settings

The protection settings (in the submenu “Prot Settings”) are used to decide the characteristics of
the protective elements. There are up to 10 groups of protection settings in this relay.

NOTE! Following items should be considered before modifying the protection settings.

1. Before configuring the settings, the setting group must be configured firstly.

2. When a certain setting is of no use, in case of over-elements (such as overcurrent, residual

7-2 PCS-9622 Transformer Relay


Date: 2013-02-22
7 Settings

overcurrent), set the value as upper limit; in case of under-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 de-energize the corresponding binary input.

3. In general, for switch onto fault protection and accelerated protection, it is necessary to set a
time delay from decades to 100ms. 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
not avoid surge current when CB is closing if the time is set as 0.00s. For residual overcurrent
when switch onto fault and residual accelerate protection, there is zero sequence surge
current when CB is closing.

4. To a certain protection element, only when the logic setting and the state of enabling input
signal are “1”, and the state of the blocking input signal is “0” at the same time, then the
corresponding protection element is enabled, otherwise it is disabled.

All the settings of the protection are listed in the following table.

8.1 Overview

The operator can access the device from the front panel. Local communication with the device is
possible using a computer via a multiplex RJ45 port on the front panel. Furthermore, remote
communication is also possible using a PC with the substation automation system via rear RS485
port or rear Ethernet port. The operator is able to check the device status at any time.

This chapter describes human machine interface (HMI), and give operator an instruction about
how to display or print event report, setting and so on through HMI menu tree and display metering
value, including r.m.s. current, voltage and frequency etc. through LCD. Procedures to change
active setting group or a settable parameter value through keypad are also described in details.

The human-machine interface consists of a human-machine interface (HMI) module which allows
a communication to be as simple as possible for the user. The HMI module helps to draw your
attention to something that has occurred which may activate a LED or a report displayed on the
LCD. Operator can locate the data of interest by navigating the keypad.

MON plug-in module is equipped with two or four 100Base-TX Ethernet interface, take NR4106AA
as an example, as shown in Figure 8.1-5, its rear view and the definition of terminals.

The Ethernet port can be used to communication with PC via auxiliary software (PCS-Explorer)
after connecting the device with PC, so as to fulfill on-line function (please refer to the instruction
manual of PCS-Explorer). At first, the connection between the device and PC must be established.
Through setting the IP address and subnet mask of corresponding Ethernet interface in the menu

“Settings→Device Setup→Comm Settings”, it should be ensured that the device and PC are in
the same network segment. For example, setting the IP address and subnet mask of network A.
(using network A to connect with PC)

PC: IP address is set as “198.87.96.102”, subnet mask is set as “255.255.255.0”

The IP address and subnet mask of device should be [IP_LAN1]= 198.87.96.XXX,


[Mask_LAN1]=255.255.255.0, (XXX can be any value from 0 to 255 except 102)

If the logic setting [En_LAN1] is non-available, it means that network A is always enabled.

8.3.2.2 Understand the Alarms

Hardware circuit and operation condition of this device 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 a serious hardware failure or abnormality is detected, all protection functions will be
blocked and the LED “HEALTHY” will be off.

When hardware failure is detected, all protection functions will be blocked and the corresponding
alarm signal will be issued. This relay can not work normally in such a situation and a manual
maintenance is required to fix the failure.

NOTE! If this device is blocked or alarm signal is issued during operation, do please find

out its reason by help of the history reports. If the reason can not be found on site, please
inform the manufacturer NR Electric Co., Ltd.

9.1 General

This section outlines the remote data communication interfaces of this relay. The relay can support
several protocols: IEC60870-5-103, IEC61850 and DNP3.0. Setting the relevant communication
parameter can select the expected protocol (see Section 7.6).

The EIA RS-485 standardized interfaces are isolated, as well as the 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.

9.2 Rear Communication Port Information

9.2.1 RS-485 Interface


This relay provides some rear RS-485 communication ports, and each port has two terminals in
the 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 6.5 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’s “Comm Settings” submenu (see
Section 7.6). By using the keypad and LCD, configure the relevant communication protocol
parameters, the corresponding protocol and will be selected.

9.2.1.1 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 noted 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.

9.2.1.2 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 9.2-1). 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
facility, so if it is located at the bus terminus then an external termination resistor will be required.

9.2.1.3 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 0.5mm2 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.

9.2.1.4 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.

NOTE!

 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.

 As the field voltage is much higher than that required, NR can not assume responsibility for
any damage that may occur to a device connected to the network as a result of incorrect
application of this voltage.

 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.

9.2.2 Ethernet Interface


This relay provides some rear Ethernet interfaces and they are unattached to each other. The
parameters of each Ethernet port can be configured in the submenu “Comm Settings” (see
Section 7.6) except for the protocol which is a uniform parameter for these Ethernet ports.

9.2.2.1 IP Address and Network Communication Address

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

The network communication address for IEC60087-5-103 has above relationship described as an
equation with section 3 and section 4 of the IP address.

9.2.2.2 Ethernet Standardized Communication Cable

It is recommended to use 4-pair screened twisted category 5E cable as the communication cable.

9.2.2.3 Connections and Topologies

Each device is connected to an exchanger via communication cable and thereby to form a star
structure network. Dual-network is recommended in order to increase reliability. The 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.

9.2.3 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 IEC60870-5-103 protocol is to use a twisted pair
EIA RS-485 connection over distances up to 500m. This relay operates as a slave in the system,
responding to commands from a master station.

9.2.4 IEC61850 Communication


The IEC specification IEC61850: Communication Networks and Systems in Substations, a new
protocol defines the communication standards in substations. The standard configuration for the
IEC61850 protocol is based on the Ethernet.

9.2.5 DNP3.0 Communication


The DNP3.0 (Distributed Network Protocol) protocol can support the OSI/EPA model of the ISO
(International Organization for Standards), and it includes four parts: application layer protocol,
transport functions, data link layer protocol and data object library. The DNP3.0 protocol is to use a
twisted pair EIA RS-485 connection over distances up to 500m. This relay operates as a slave in
the system, responding to commands from a master station.

9.3 IEC60870-5-103 Interface

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

9-4 PCS-9622 Transformer Relay


Date: 2013-02-22
9 Communication

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

The following IEC60870-5-103 facilities are supported by this interface: initialization (reset), time
synchronization, event record extraction, general interrogation, cyclic measurements, general
commands and disturbance records.

9.3.1 Physical Connection and Link Layer


The EIA RS-485 standardized ports are available for IEC60870-5-103 in this relay. The baudrate is
optional: 4800bps, 9600bps, 19200bps, 38400bps, 57600bps or 115200bps.

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

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

9.3.2 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.

9.3.3 Time Synchronization


The time and date of this relay can be set by 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 without any reply) message, a time synchronization Class
1 event will be generated.

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

9.3.4 Spontaneous Events


The spontaneous events are categorized using the following information: type identification (TYP),
function type (FUN) and information number (INF). This relay can support ASDU 1, ASDU 2,
ASDU 40 and ASDU 41, the cause of transmission (COT) is “1”.

 ASDU 1, time-tagged message: alarm messages, special purpose binary input state change
messages.

PCS-9622 Transformer Relay 9-5


Date: 2013-02-22
9 Communication

 ASDU 2, time-tagged message with relative time: tripping messages and fault detector pickup
messages.

 ASDU 40, single point information: general binary input state change messages.

 ASDU 41, single point information with time-tagged: sequence of event (SOE) messages.

9.3.5 General Interrogation


The GI can be used to read the status of the relay, the function numbers, and information numbers
that will be returned during the GI cycle. The GI cycle strictly abides by the rules defined in the
IEC60870-5-103.

The relay will respond to this GI command with an ASDU 44 message, the cause of transmission
(COT) of this response is 9.

Referring the IEC60870-5-103 standard can get the enough details about general interrogation.

9.3.6 Cyclic Measurements


The relay will produce measured values using ASDU 50 on a cyclical basis, this can be read from
the relay using a Class 2 poll (note ADSU 3 and ASDU 9 are not used).

The cause of transmission is 2. The rate at which the relay produces new measured values is fixed
(about one second). It should be noted that the measurands transmitted by the relay are sent as a
proportion of corresponding times the rated value of the analog value.

9.3.7 General Commands


A list of the supported commands (in control direction) is contained in the following table. The relay
will not respond to other commands, and short-term communication interruption will occur.

TYP FUN INF DCC Function


ASDU 64 1 48 0x81 Remote trip with selection
ASDU 64 1 48 0x82 Remote close with selection
ASDU 64 1 48 0x01 Remote trip with execution
ASDU 64 1 48 0x02 Remote close with execution
ASDU 64 1 48 0xC1 Remote trip with abortion
ASDU 64 1 48 0xC2 Remote close with abortion

If the relay receives one of the command messages correctly, it will respond with an ACK message,
and then send a message which has the same ASDU data with the control direction message in
the next communication turn.

9.3.8 Generic Functions


The generic functions can be used to read the setting and protection measurement of this relay,
and modify the setting.

Two supported type identifications are ASDU 21 and ASDU 10. For more details about generic
functions, see the IEC60870-5-103 standard.

9.3.9 Disturbance Records


This relay can store up to eight disturbance records in its memory. A pickup of the fault detector or
an operation of the relay can make the relay store the disturbance records.

The disturbance records are stored in uncompressed format and can be extracted using the
standard mechanisms described in the standard of IEC60870-5-103.

9.4 IEC61850 Interface

9.4.1 Overview
The IEC61850 software module of PCS-9000 series is adopted in the device. The IEC61850
standard is the result of years of work by electric utilities and vendors of electronic equipment to

9.4.2 Communication Profiles


The PCS-9600 series relay supports IEC61850 server services over TCP/IP communication
protocol stacks. The TCP/IP profile requires the PCS-9600 series relay to have an IP address to
establish communications. These addresses are located in the submenu “Comm Settings”, see
Section 7.6 for further details.

MMS Protocol

IEC61850 specifies the use of the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) at the upper
(application) layer for transfer of real-time data. This protocol has been in existence for a number
of years and provides a set of services suitable for the transfer of data within a substation LAN
environment. Actual MMS protocol services are mapped to IEC61850 abstract services in
IEC61850-8-1.

Client/server

This is a connection-oriented type of communication. The connection is initiated by the client, and
communication activity is controlled by the client. IEC61850 clients are often substation computers
running HMI programs or SOE logging software. Servers are usually substation equipment such
as protection relays, meters, RTUs, instrument transformers, tap changers, or bay controllers.

Please note that gateways can be considered as clients and servers subject to the communication

object. When retrieving data from IEDs within the substation, the gateways are considered as
servers whereas transmitting data to control centers, the gateways are considered as clients.

Peer-to-peer

This is a non-connection-oriented, high speed type of communication usually between substation


equipment, such as protection relays. GOOSE is the method of peer-to-peer communication.

Substation configuration language (SCL)

A substation configuration language is the number of files used to describe the configuration of
substation equipment. Each configured device has an IED Capability Description (ICD) file and a
Configured IED Description (CID) file. The substation single line information is stored in a System
Specification Description (SSD) file. The entire substation configuration is stored in a Substation
Configuration Description (SCD) file. The SCD file is the combination of the individual ICD files
and the SSD file, moreover, add communication system parameters (MMS, GOOSE, control block,
SV control block) and the connection relationship of GOOSE and SV to SCD file.

9.4.3 MMS Communication Network Deployment


To enhance the stability and reliability of SAS, dual-MMS Ethernet is widely adopted. This section
is applied to introduce the details of dual-MMS Ethernet technology. Generally, single-MMS
Ethernet is recommended to be adopted in the SAS of 110kV and lower voltage levels, while
dual-MMS Ethernet is recommended to be adopted in the SAS of voltage levels above 110kV.

Client-server mode is adopted: clients (SCADA, control center and etc.) communicate with the
IEDs via MMS communication network, and the IEDs operate as the servers. IEDs are connected
to clients passively, and they can interact with the clients according to the configuration and the
issued command of the clients.

Three modes for dual-MMS Ethernet (abbreviated as dual-net) are provided as below.

Note! Hereinafter, the normal operation status of net means the physical link and TCP

link are both ok. The abnormal operation status of net means physical link or TCP link is
broken.

Figure 9.4-1 Dual-net full duplex mode sharing the RCB block instance

Net A and Net B share the same report control block (abbreviated as RCB) enabled by the client.
IED sends undifferentiated date through dual-net to the clients. If one net is physically
disconnected, the flag of RCB instance (i.e.: “RptEna” in above figure) is still “true”. Only when
both Net A and Net B are disconnected, the flag of the RCB instance will automatically change to
“false”.

In normal operation status of mode 1, IED provides the same MMS service for Net A and Net B. If
one net is physically disconnected (i.e.: “Abnormal operation status” in above figure), the working
mode will switch to single-net mode seamlessly and immediately. Network communication
supervision is unnecessary here, and Buffered Report Control Block (abbreviated as BRCB) need
not to be used. On the other net, date alternation works normally. Therefore, MMS service can
interact normally without interruption. This mode ensures no data loss during one net is in
abnormal operation status.

In mode 1, one report will be transmitted twice via dual nets for the same report instance, so the
client needs to distinguish whether two reports are same according to corresponding EntryIDs.

2) Mode 2: Dual-net hot-standby mode sharing the same RCB instance

Figure 9.4-2 Dual-net hot-standby mode sharing the same RCB instance

In mode 2, the MMS service is provided on main MMS link, no MMS service interacts on the
standby MMS link. The definitions of two links are as follows:

 Main MMS Link: Physically connected, TCP level connected, MMS report service available.

 Standby MMS Link: Physically connected, TCP level connected, MMS report service not
available.

If the main net fails to operate (i.e.: “Abnormal operation status” in the above figure), the IED will
set “RptEna” to “false”. Meanwhile the client will detect the failure by heartbeat message or
“keep-alive”, it will automatically enable the RCB instance by setting “RptEna” back to “true”
through standby MMS link. By the buffer function of BRCB, the IED can provide uninterrupted
MMS service on the standby net. However, the differences of BRCB standards among different
manufacturers may cause data loss. Moreover, if duration of net switch is too long, the data loss is
positively as the capacity of BRCB’s buffer function is limited.

Note! In mode 1 and mode 2, Net A IED host address and Net B IED host address must be

the same. E.g.: if the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, network prefix of Net A is 198.120.0.0,
network prefix of Net B is 198.121.0.0, Net A IP address of the IED is 198.120.1.2, and
then Net B IP address of the IED must be configured as 198.121.1.2, i.e.: Net A IED host
address =1x256+2=258, Net B IED host address =1x256+2=258, Net A IED host address
equals to Net B IED host address.

3) Mode 3: Dual-net full duplex mode with 2 independent RCB instances

Figure 9.4-3 Dual-net full duplex mode with 2 independent RCB instances

In mode 3, IED provides 2 report instances for each RCB, Net A and Net B work independently
from each other, failures of one net will not affect the other net at all.

In this mode, 2 report instances are required for each client. Therefore, the IED may be unable to
provide enough report instances if there are too many clients.

Net A and Net B send the same report separately when they operates normally, To ensure no
repeated data is saved into database, massive calculation is required for the client.

Moreover, accurate clock synchronization of the IED is required to distinguish whether 2 reports
are the same report according to the timestamps. Clock synchronization error of the IED may lead
to report loss/redundancy.

As a conclusion:

 In mode 2, it’s difficult to realize seamless switchover between dual nets;

 In mode 3, the IED may be unable to provide enough report instances if too many clients are
applied on site.

For the consideration of client treatment and IED implementation, mode 1 (Dual-net full duplex
mode sharing the same report instance) is recommended for MMS communication network
deployment.

9.4.4 Server Data Organization


IEC61850 defines an object-oriented approach to data and services. An IEC61850 physical device
can contain one or more logical device(s) (for proxy). Each logical device can contain many logical
nodes. Each logical node can contain many data objects. Each data object is composed of data
attributes and data attribute components. Services are available at each level for performing

9-12 PCS-9622 Transformer Relay


Date: 2013-02-22
9 Communication

various functions, such as reading, writing, control commands, and reporting.

Each IED represents one IEC61850 physical device. The physical device contains one logical
device, and the logical device contains many logical nodes. The logical node LPHD contains
information about the IED physical device. The logical node LLN0 contains information about the
IED logical device.

9.4.4.1 Digital Status Values

The GGIO logical node is available in the PCS-9600 series relays to provide access to digital
status points (including general I/O inputs and warnings) and associated timestamps and quality
flags. The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO provides digital
status points for access by clients. It is intended that clients use GGIO in order to access digital
status values from the PCS-9600 series relays. Clients can utilize the IEC61850 buffered reporting
features available from GGIO in order to build sequence of events (SOE) logs and HMI display
screens. Buffered reporting should generally be used for SOE logs since the buffering capability
reduces the chances of missing data state changes. All needed status data objects are transmitted
to HMI clients via buffered reporting, and the corresponding buffered reporting control block
(BRCB) is defined in LLN0.

9.4.4.2 Analog Values

Most of the analog measured values are available through the MMXU logical nodes, and metering
values in MMTR, the others in MMXN, MSQI and so on. Each MMXU logical node provides data
from an IED current/voltage “source”. There is one MMXU available for each configurable source.
MMXU1 provides data from CT/VT source 1 (usually for protection purpose), and MMXU2
provides data from CT/VT source 2 (usually for monitor and display purpose). All these analog
data objects are transmitted to HMI clients via unbuffered reporting periodically, and the
corresponding unbuffered reporting control block (URCB) is defined in LLN0. MMXUx logical
nodes provide the following data for each source:

MMXU.MX.TotW: three-phase active power


MMXU.MX.TotVAr: three-phase reactive power
MMXU.MX.TotPF: three-phase power factor
MMXU.MX.Hz: frequency
MMXU.MX.PPV.phsAB: phase AB voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.PPV.phsBC: phase BC voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.PPV.phsCA: Phase CA voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.PhV.phsA: phase AG voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.PhV.phsB: phase BG voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.PhV.phsC: phase CG voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.A.phsA: phase A current magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.A.phsB: phase B current magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.A.phsC: phase C current magnitude and angle

PCS-9622 Transformer Relay 9-13

MMXU.MX.A.neut: ground current magnitude and angle

9.4.4.3 Protection Logical Nodes

The following list describes the protection elements for all PCS-9600 series relays. The specified
relay will contain a subset of protection elements from this list.

PDIF: transformer instantaneous differential, transformer percent differential


PDIS: phase distance, ground distance
PIOC: phase instantaneous overcurrent, neutral instantaneous overcurrent, ground
instantaneous overcurrent, negative-sequence instantaneous overcurrent.
PTOC: phase time overcurrent, neutral time overcurrent, ground time overcurrent,
negative-sequence time overcurrent, neutral directional overcurrent,
negative-sequence directional overcurrent
PTUV: phase undervoltage, auxiliary undervoltage, third harmonic neutral undervoltage
PTUF: underfrequency
PTOV: phase overvoltage, neutral overvoltage, auxiliary overvoltage, negative sequence
overvoltage
RBRF: breaker failure
RREC: autoreclosure

The protection elements listed above contain start (pickup) and operate flags, instead of any
element has its own start (pickup) flag separately, all the elements share a common start (pickup)
flags “PTRC.ST.Str.general” in a PCS-9600 series relay. The operate flag for PTOC1 is
“PTOC1.ST.Op.general”. For the PCS-9600 series relay protection elements, these flags take their
values from related module for the corresponding element. Similar to digital status values, the
protection trip information is reported via BRCB, and it also locates in LLN0.

9.4.4.4 LLN0 and Other Logical Nodes

Logical node LLN0 is essential for an IEC61850 based IED. This LN shall be used to address
common issues for Logical Devices. In PCS-9600 series relays, most of the public services, the
common settings, control values and some device oriented data objects are available here. The
public services may be BRCB, URCB and GSE control blocks and similar global defines for the
whole device; the common settings (the logic nodes LPHD、PTRC also contain some related
common settings) include all the setting items of communication settings. System settings and
some of the protection setting items, which can be configured to two or more protection elements
(logical nodes). In LLN0, the item Loc is a device control object, this Do item indicates the local
operation for complete logical device, when it is true, all the remote control commands to the IED
will be blocked and those commands make effective until the item Loc is changed to false. Besides
the logical nodes we describe above, there are some other logical nodes below in the IEDs:

MMUX: This LN shall be used to acquire values from CTs and VTs and calculate measurands
such as RMS values for current and voltage or power flows out of the acquired voltage
and current samples. These values are normally used for operational purposes such as
power flow supervision and management, screen displays, state estimation, etc. The
requested accuracy for these functions has to be provided.

9-14 PCS-9622 Transformer Relay


Date: 2013-02-22
9 Communication

LPHD: Physical device information, the logical node to model common issues for physical
device.
PTRC: Protection trip conditioning, it shall be used to connect the “operate” outputs of one or
more protection functions to a common “trip” to be transmitted to XCBR. In addition or
alternatively, any combination of “operate” outputs of protection functions may be
combined to a new “operate” of PTRC.
RDRE: Disturbance recorder function. It triggers the fault wave recorder and its output refers to
the “IEEE Standard Format for Transient Data Exchange (COMTRADE) for Power
System” (IEC60255-24). All enabled channels are included in the recording,
independently of the trigger mode.
GAPC: Generic automatic process control, it is used to model in a generic way the
processing/automation of functions, for example the sequence control functions for
PCS-9600 series relays.
CSWI: Switch controller. This class is used to control all switching conditions of XCBR and
XSWI. A remote switching command (for example select-before-operate) arrives here
firstly.
XCBR: Breaker control. The XCBR logical node is directly associated with the breaker control
feature.
XCBR1.ST.Pos: This is the position of the breaker. If the breaker control logic
indicates that the breaker, or any single pole of the breaker, is
closed, then the breaker position state is “on”. If the breaker
control logic indicates that the breaker is open, then the breaker
position state is “off”.
XCBR1.ST.BlkOpn: This is the state of the block open command logic. When true,
breaker open commands from IEC61850 clients will be rejected.
XCBR1.ST.BlkCls: This is the state of the block close command logic. When true,
breaker close commands from IEC61850 clients will be rejected.
XCBR1.CO.Pos: This is where IEC61850 clients can issue open or close
commands to the breaker. SBO control with normal enhanced
security is the only supported IEC61850 control model.

9.4.5 Server Features and Configuration

9.4.5.1 Buffered/Unbuffered Reporting

IEC61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting control blocks locate in LLN0, they can be configured
to transmit information of protection trip information (in the Protection logical nodes), binary status
values (in GGIO) and analog measured/calculated values (in MMXU, MMTR and MSQI). The
reporting control blocks can be configured in CID files, and then be sent to the IED via an
IEC61850 client. The following items can be configured.

TrgOps: Trigger options. The following bits are supported by the PCS-9600 series relays:

- Bit 1: Data-change

- Bit 4: Integrity

- Bit 5: General interrogation

OptFlds: Option Fields. The following bits are supported by the PCS-9600 series relays:

- Bit 1: Sequence-number

- Bit 2: Report-time-stamp

- Bit 3: Reason-for-inclusion

- Bit 4: Data-set-name

- Bit 5: Data-reference

- Bit 6: Buffer-overflow (for buffered reports only)

- Bit 7: EntryID (for buffered reports only)

- Bit 8: Conf-revision

- Bit 9: Segmentation

IntgPd: Integrity period.

BufTm: Buffer time.

9.4.5.2 File Transfer

MMS file services are supported to allow transfer of oscillography, event record or other files from
a PCS-9600 series relay.

9.4.5.3 Timestamps

The universal time coordinated (UTC) timestamp values associated with all IEC61850 data items
represent the time of the last change of either the value or quality flags of the data item.

9.4.5.4 Logical Node Name Prefixes

IEC61850 specifies that each logical node can have a name with a total length of 11 characters.
The name is composed of: a five or six-character name prefix; a four-character standard name (for
example, MMXU, GGIO, PIOC, etc.); a one or two-character instantiation index.

Complete names are of the form xxxxxxPTOC1, where the xxxxxx character string is configurable.
Details regarding the logical node naming rules are given in IEC61850 parts 6 and 7-2. It is
recommended that a consistent naming convention be used for an entire substation project.

9.4.5.5 GOOSE Services

IEC61850 specifies the type of broadcast data transfer services: Generic Object Oriented
Substation Events (GOOSE). IEC61850 GOOSE services provide virtual LAN (VLAN) support,
Ethernet priority tagging, and Ether-type Application ID configuration. The support for VLANs and
priority tagging allows for the optimization of Ethernet network traffic. GOOSE messages can be
given a higher priority than standard Ethernet traffic, and they can be separated onto specific
VLANs. Devices that transmit GOOSE messages also function as servers. Each GOOSE
publisher contains a “GOOSE control block” to configure and control the transmission.

The GOOSE transmission (including subscribing and publishing) is controlled by GOOSE VEBI

settings in device.

The PCS-9600 series relays support IEC61850 Generic Object Oriented Substation Event
(GOOSE) communication. All GOOSE messages contain IEC61850 data collected into a dataset.
It is this dataset that is transferred using GOOSE message services. The GOOSE related dataset
is configured in the CID file and it is recommended that the fixed GOOSE be used for
implementations that require GOOSE data transfer between the PCS-9600 series relays.

IEC61850 GOOSE messaging contains a number of configurable parameters, all of which must be
correct to achieve the successful transfer of data. It is critical that the configured datasets at the
transmission and reception devices are an exact match in terms of data structure, and that the
GOOSE addresses and name strings match exactly.

The general steps required for transmission configuration are:

1. Configure the data.

2. Configure the transmission dataset.

3. Configure the GOOSE service settings.

The general steps required for reception configuration are:

1. Configure the data.

2. Configure the reception dataset.

3. Configure the GOOSE service settings.

10.1 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.

10.2 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 power supply module while the power supply is

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

WARNING! Only insert or withdraw other modules while the power supply is switched off.

WARNING! The modules may only be inserted in the slots designated in Section 6.2.

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


equipment. The 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:

PCS-9622 Transformer Relay 10-1

10 Installation

 Should boards have to be removed from this relay installed in a grounded cubicle in an HV
switchgear installation, please discharge yourself by touching station ground (the cubicle)
beforehand.

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

 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.

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

10.3 Checking the Shipment

Check that the consignment is complete immediately upon receipt. Notify the nearest NR
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 NR 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 at a maximum temperature and the
permissible storage temperature range in dry air are listed in Section 2.1.3.

10.4 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 this relay is mounted in cubicles).

10.5 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

instructions must be abided by when installing the boards, please see Section 10.2 for the details.

Figure 10.6-2 shows the installation way of a module being plugged into a corresponding slot.

Figure 10.6-2 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.

10.7 Electrical Installation and Wiring

10.7.1 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.

10.7.2 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

10-4 PCS-9622 Transformer Relay


Date: 2013-02-22
10 Installation

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 10.7-1).

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).

10.7.3 Ground Connection on the Device


There is a ground terminal on the rear panel (see

PCS-9622 Transformer Relay 10-5


Date: 2013-02-22
10 Installation

Figure 10.7-2), and the ground braided copper strip can be connected with it. Take care that the
grounding strip is always as short as possible. The main thing is that the device is only grounded
at one point. Grounding loops from unit to unit are not allowed.

There are some ground terminals on some connectors of this relay, 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 10.7-2) is the only ground terminal of this device.

Figure 10.7-2 Ground terminal of this relay

10.7.4 Grounding Strips and their Installation


High frequency currents are produced by interference in the ground connections and because of
skin effect at these frequencies, only the surface region of the grounding strips is of consequence.

The grounding strips must therefore be of (preferably tinned) braided copper and not round copper
conductors, as the cross-section of round copper would have to be too large.

Proper terminations must be fitted to both ends (press/pinch fit and tinned) with a hole for bolting
them firmly to the items to be connected.

10-6 PCS-9622 Transformer Relay


Date: 2013-02-22

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.

10.7.5 Guidelines for Wiring


There are several types of cables that are used in the connection of this relay: braided copper
cable, serial communication cable etc. Recommendation of each cable:

 Grounding: braided copper cable, 2.5mm2 ~ 6.0mm2

 Power supply, binary inputs & outputs: brained copper cable, 1.5mm2 ~ 2.5mm2

 AC voltage inputs: brained copper cable, 1.5mm2 ~ 2.5mm2

 AC current inputs: brained copper cable, 2.5mm2 ~ 6.0mm2

 Serial communication: 4-core shielded braided cable

 Ethernet communication: 4-pair screened twisted category 5E cable

10.7.6 Wiring for Electrical Cables


A female connector is used for connecting the wires with it, and then a female connector plugs into
a corresponding male connector that is in the front of one board. See Chapter 6 for further details
about the pin defines of these connectors.

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.

11.1 General

This relay is fully numerical in their design, implementing all protection and non-protection
functions in software. The relay employs 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.

to become familiar with its operation.

11.5 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.

This relay 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.

make sure that their labels meet the requirements of this project.

 Equipment plug-in modules

Check each plug-in module of the equipment on the panel to make sure that they are well
installed into the equipment without any screw loosened.

 Earthing cable

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

 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.

11.5.1.2 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.

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:

11 Commissioning

 Voltage transformer circuits

 Current transformer circuits

 DC power supply

 Optic-isolated binary inputs

 Binary output contacts

 Electrical 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.

11.5.1.3 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.

11.5.1.4 Auxiliary Power Supply

The relay only can be operated under the auxiliary power supply depending on the relay’s nominal
power supply rating.

The incoming voltage must be within the operating range specified in Section 2.1.1.1, before
energizing the relay, measure the auxiliary supply to ensure it within the operating range.

Other requirements to the auxiliary power supply are specified in Section 2.1.1.1. See this section
for further details about the parameters of the power supply.

WARNING! Energize this relay only when the power supply is within the specified

operating ranges in Section 2.1.1.1.

11.5.2 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.

11.5.2.1 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.

11.5.2.2 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.

11.5.2.3 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.

11.5.2.4 Test the HEALTHY and ALARM LEDs

Apply the rated 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 this device
finds serious errors in it.

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.

11.5.2.5 Test the Other LEDs

Test the other LEDs according to the configuration of the LEDs (through the PCS-Explorer
configuration tool auxiliary software). If the conditions which can turn on the selected LED are
satisfied, the selected LED will be on.

12.1 Maintenance Schedule

It is recommended that products supplied by NR 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 relay is self-supervised and so requires 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.

12.2 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.

12.3 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 history alarm reports through the HMI.
See Section 8.3.2 for the details of the alarm events.

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

 Test circuit connections are correct

 Modules are securely inserted in position

 Correct DC power voltage is applied

 Correct AC inputs are applied

 Test procedures comply with those stated in the manual

12.4 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.

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 and hardware type-form as the

PCS-9622 Transformer Relay 12-1


Date: 2013-02-22
12 Maintenance

removed module. Furthermore, the replaced module should have the same software version. And
the replaced analog input module and power supply module 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.
