1.2 UR OVERVIEW 1 GETTING STARTED

1.2 UR OVERVIEW 1.2.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE UR RELAY

1 Historically, substation protection, control, and metering functions were performed with electromechanical equipment. This
first generation of equipment was gradually replaced by analog electronic equipment, most of which emulated the single-
function approach of their electromechanical precursors. Both of these technologies required expensive cabling and auxil-
iary equipment to produce functioning systems.
Recently, digital electronic equipment has begun to provide protection, control, and metering functions. Initially, this equip-
ment was either single function or had very limited multi-function capability, and did not significantly reduce the cabling and
auxiliary equipment required. However, recent digital relays have become quite multi-functional, reducing cabling and aux-
iliaries significantly. These devices also transfer data to central control facilities and Human Machine Interfaces using elec-
tronic communications. The functions performed by these products have become so broad that many users now prefer the
term IED (Intelligent Electronic Device).
It is obvious to station designers that the amount of cabling and auxiliary equipment installed in stations can be even further
reduced, to 20% to 70% of the levels common in 1990, to achieve large cost reductions. This requires placing even more
functions within the IEDs.
Users of power equipment are also interested in reducing cost by improving power quality and personnel productivity, and
as always, in increasing system reliability and efficiency. These objectives are realized through software which is used to
perform functions at both the station and supervisory levels. The use of these systems is growing rapidly.
High speed communications are required to meet the data transfer rates required by modern automatic control and moni-
toring systems. In the near future, very high speed communications will be required to perform protection signaling with a
performance target response time for a command signal between two IEDs, from transmission to reception, of less than 5
milliseconds. This has been established by the Electric Power Research Institute, a collective body of many American and
Canadian power utilities, in their Utilities Communications Architecture 2 (MMS/UCA2) project. In late 1998, some Euro-
pean utilities began to show an interest in this ongoing initiative.
IEDs with the capabilities outlined above will also provide significantly more power system data than is presently available,
enhance operations and maintenance, and permit the use of adaptive system configuration for protection and control sys-
tems. This new generation of equipment must also be easily incorporated into automation systems, at both the station and
enterprise levels. The GE Power Management Universal Relay (UR) has been developed to meet these goals.

Figure 1–2: UR CONCEPT BLOCK DIAGRAM
a) UR BASIC DESIGN
The UR is a digital-based device containing a central processing unit (CPU) that handles multiple types of input and output
signals. The UR can communicate over a local area network (LAN) with an operator interface, a programming device, or
another UR device.
The CPU module contains firmware that provides protection elements in the form of logic algorithms, as well as program-
mable logic gates, timers, and latches for control features.
Input elements accept a variety of analog or digital signals from the field. The UR isolates and converts these signals into
logic signals used by the relay.
Output elements convert and isolate the logic signals generated by the relay into digital or analog signals that can be used
to control field devices.

b) UR SIGNAL TYPES
The contact inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with connections to hard-wired contacts. Both ‘wet’ and
‘dry’ contacts are supported.
The virtual inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with UR internal logic signals. Virtual inputs include signals
generated by the local user interface. The virtual outputs are outputs of FlexLogic™ equations used to customize the UR
device. Virtual outputs can also serve as virtual inputs to FlexLogic™ equations.
The analog inputs and outputs are signals that are associated with transducers, such as Resistance Temperature Detec-
tors (RTDs).
The CT and VT inputs refer to analog current transformer and voltage transformer signals used to monitor AC power lines.
The UR supports 1 A and 5 A CTs.
The remote inputs and outputs provide a means of sharing digital point state information between remote UR devices.
The remote outputs interface to the remote inputs of other UR devices. Remote outputs are FlexLogic™ operands inserted
into UCA2 GOOSE messages and are of two assignment types: DNA standard functions and USER defined functions.

Figure 1–3: UR SCAN OPERATION


The UR device operates in a cyclic scan fashion. The UR reads the inputs into an input status table, solves the logic pro-
gram (FlexLogic™ equation), and then sets each output to the appropriate state in an output status table. Any resulting task
execution is priority interrupt-driven.

1.2.3 UR SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

The firmware (software embedded in the relay) is designed in functional modules which can be installed in any relay as
required. This is achieved with Object-Oriented Design and Programming (OOD/OOP) techniques.
Object-Oriented techniques involve the use of ‘objects’ and ‘classes’. An ‘object’ is defined as “a logical entity that contains
both data and code that manipulates that data”. A ‘class’ is the generalized form of similar objects. By using this concept,
one can create a Protection Class with the Protection Elements as objects of the class such as Time Overcurrent, Instanta-
neous Overcurrent, Current Differential, Undervoltage, Overvoltage, Underfrequency, and Distance. These objects repre-
sent completely self-contained software modules. The same object-class concept can be used for Metering, I/O Control,
HMI, Communications, or any functional entity in the system.
Employing OOD/OOP in the software architecture of the Universal Relay achieves the same features as the hardware
architecture: modularity, scalability, and flexibility. The application software for any Universal Relay (e.g. Feeder Protection,
Transformer Protection, Distance Protection) is constructed by combining objects from the various functionality classes.
This results in a ’common look and feel’ across the entire family of UR platform-based applications.

1.2.4 IMPORTANT UR CONCEPTS

As described above, the architecture of the UR relay is different from previous devices. In order to achieve a general under-
standing of this device, some sections of Chapter 5 are quite helpful. The most important functions of the relay are con-
tained in "Elements". A description of UR elements can be found in the INTRODUCTION TO ELEMENTS section. An
example of a simple element, and some of the organization of this manual, can be found in the DIGITAL ELEMENTS
MENU section. An explanation of the use of inputs from CTs and VTs is in the INTRODUCTION TO AC SOURCES section.
A description of how digital signals are used and routed within the relay is contained in the INTRODUCTION TO FLEX-
LOGIC™ section.

CAUTIONS.

1.4.2 COMMUNICATIONS

The URPC software communicates to the relay via the faceplate RS232 port or the rear panel RS485 / Ethernet ports. To
communicate via the faceplate RS232 port, a standard “straight-through” serial cable is used. The DB-9 male end is con-
nected to the relay and the DB-9 or DB-25 female end is connected to the PC COM1 or COM2 port as described in the
HARDWARE chapter.

Figure 1–4: RELAY COMMUNICATIONS OPTIONS


To communicate through the D60 rear RS485 port from a PC RS232 port, the GE Power Management RS232/RS485 con-
verter box is required. This device (catalog number F485) connects to the computer using a "straight-through" serial cable.
A shielded twisted-pair (20, 22, or 24 AWG) connects the F485 converter to the D60 rear communications port. The con-
verter terminals (+, –, GND) are connected to the D60 communication module (+, –, COM) terminals. Refer to the CPU
COMMUNICATION PORTS section in the HARDWARE chapter for option details. The line should be terminated with an R-
C network (i.e. 120 Ω, 1 nF) as described in the HARDWARE chapter.

1.4.3 FACEPLATE DISPLAY

All messages are displayed on a 2 × 20 character vacuum fluorescent display to make them visible under poor lighting con-
ditions. Messages are displayed in English and do not require the aid of an instruction manual for deciphering. While the
keypad and display are not actively being used, the display will default to defined messages. Any high priority event driven
message will automatically override the default message and appear on the display.

1.5.4 RELAY ACTIVATION

1 The relay is defaulted to the "Not Programmed" state when it leaves the factory. This safeguards against the installation of
a relay whose settings have not been entered. When powered up successfully, the TROUBLE indicator will be on and the
IN SERVICE indicator off. The relay in the "Not Programmed" state will block signaling of any output relay. These condi-
tions will remain until the relay is explicitly put in the "Programmed" state.
Select the menu message SETTINGS Ö PRODUCT SETUP ÖØ INSTALLATION Ö RELAY SETTINGS
RELAY SETTINGS:
Not Programmed
To put the relay in the "Programmed" state, press either of the VALUE keys once and then press . The face-
plate TROUBLE indicator will turn off and the IN SERVICE indicator will turn on. The settings for the relay can be pro-
grammed manually (refer to the SETTINGS chapter) via the faceplate keypad or remotely (refer to the URPC Help file) via
the URPC software interface.

1.5.5 BATTERY TAB

The battery tab is installed in the power supply module before the D60 shipped from the factory. The battery tab prolongs
battery life in the event the relay is powered down for long periods of time before installation. The battery is responsible for
backing up event records, oscillography, data logger, and real-time clock information when the relay is powered off. The
battery failure self-test error generated by the relay is a minor and should not affect the relay functionality. When the relay is
installed and ready for commissioning, the tab should be removed. The battery tab should be re-inserted if the relay is pow-
ered off for an extended period of time. If required, contact the factory for a replacement battery or battery tab.

1.5.6 RELAY PASSWORDS

It is recommended that passwords be set up for each security level and assigned to specific personnel. There are two user
password SECURITY access levels:
1. COMMAND
The COMMAND access level restricts the user from making any settings changes, but allows the user to perform the fol-
lowing operations:
• operate breakers via faceplate keypad
• change state of virtual inputs
• clear event records
• clear oscillography records
2. SETTING
The SETTING access level allows the user to make any changes to any of the setting values.
Refer to the CHANGING SETTINGS section (in the HUMAN INTERFACES chapter) for complete instructions
on setting up security level passwords.
NOTE

1.5.7 FLEXLOGIC™ CUSTOMIZATION

FlexLogic™ equation editing is required for setting up user-defined logic for customizing the relay operations. See section
FLEXLOGIC™ in the SETTINGS chapter.

1.5.8 COMMISSIONING

Templated tables for charting all the required settings before entering them via the keypad are available in the COMMIS-
SIONING chapter.

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION 2.1.1 OVERVIEW

The D60 Line Distance Relay is a microprocessor-based relay intended for use on transmission lines of any voltage level,
without, with, and in the vicinity of series compensation, in three-pole and single-pole tripping applications. The primary
function of the relay consists of four phase and ground distance zones of protection, either mho or quadrilateral as per user
selection, with built-in logic for the five common pilot-aided schemes. The distance elements are optimized to provide good
measurement accuracy with a fast operating time, even when used with Capacitive Voltage Transformers, and can be
supervised by detection of power swings. The relay also provides directional ground overcurrent elements, which are com-
monly used as part of an overall line protection system.
2
A Close-Into-Fault, or Switch-On-To-Fault, function is performed by the Line Pickup element. Out-of-step tripping, three-
pole/single-pole dual breaker, autoreclosing, synchrocheck, fault location, and many other functions are also available. In
addition, overcurrent and undervoltage protection, fault diagnostics, power metering, and RTU functions are provided. The
D60 provides phase, neutral, and ground time overcurrent protection. The time overcurrent functions can be programmed
with multiple curve shapes or FlexCurve™ for optimum coordination.
Voltage and current metering is included as a standard feature. Additionally, currents are available as total RMS values.
Power, power factor and frequency measurements are also provided.
Diagnostic features include an Event Recorder capable of storing 1024 time-tagged events, Oscillography capable of stor-
ing up to 64 records with programmable trigger, content and sampling rate, and Data Logger acquisition of up to 16 chan-
nels, with programmable content and sampling rate. The internal clock used for time-tagging can be synchronized with an
IRIG-B signal. This precise time stamping allows the sequence of events to be determined throughout the system. Events
can also be programmed (via FlexLogic™ equations) to trigger oscillography data capture which may be set to record the
measured parameters before and after the event for viewing on a personal computer (PC). These tools significantly reduce
troubleshooting time and simplify report generation in the event of a system fault.
A faceplate RS232 port may be used to connect to a PC for the programming of settings and the monitoring of actual val-
ues. A variety of communications modules are available. Two rear RS485 ports allow independent access by operating and
engineering staff. All serial ports use the Modbus® RTU protocol. The RS485 ports may be connected to system computers
with baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. The RS232 port has a fixed baud rate of 19.2 kbps. Optional communications modules
include a 10BaseF Ethernet interface which can be used to provide fast, reliable communications in noisy environments.
Another option provides two 10BaseF fiber optic ports for redundancy. The Ethernet port supports MMS/UCA2, Modbus®/
TCP, and TFTP protocols, and allows access to the relay via any standard web browser (UR web pages). The DNP 3.0 or
IEC 60870-5-104 protocol is supported on a user-specified port, including serial and Ethernet ports.
The relay uses flash memory technology which allows field upgrading as new features are added. The following SINGLE
LINE DIAGRAM illustrates the relay functionality using ANSI (American National Standards Institute) device numbers.

3 HARDWARE 3.1 DESCRIPTION 3.1.1 PANEL CUTOUT

The relay is available as a 19-inch rack horizontal mount unit or as a reduced size (¾) vertical mount unit, with a removable
faceplate. The modular design allows the relay to be easily upgraded or repaired by a qualified service person. The face-
plate is hinged to allow easy access to the removable modules, and is itself removable to allow mounting on doors with lim-
ited rear depth. There is also a removable dust cover that fits over the faceplate, which must be removed when attempting
to access the keypad or RS232 communications port.
The vertical and horizontal case dimensions are shown below, along with panel cutout details for panel mounting. When
planning the location of your panel cutout, ensure that provision is made for the faceplate to swing open without interfer-
ence to or from adjacent equipment.
The relay must be mounted such that the faceplate sits semi-flush with the panel or switchgear door, allowing the operator
access to the keypad and the RS232 communications port. The relay is secured to the panel with the use of four screws
supplied with the relay.

nected equipment, or undesired operation!
Proper electrostatic discharge protection (i.e. a static strap) must be used when coming in contact with
modules while the relay is energized!
WARNING

The relay, being modular in design, allows for the withdrawal and insertion of modules. Modules must only be replaced with
like modules in their original factory configured slots.
The faceplate can be opened to the left, once the sliding latch on the right side has been pushed up, as shown in the figure
below. This allows for easy accessibility of the modules for withdrawal.

Figure 3–5: UR MODULE WITHDRAWAL/INSERTION


WITHDRAWAL: The ejector/inserter clips, located at the top and bottom of each module, must be pulled simultaneously to
release the module for removal. Before performing this action, control power must be removed from the relay. Record
the original location of the module to ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted into the correct slot.
INSERTION: Ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot position. The ejector/inserter clips
located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged position as the module is smoothly inserted
into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis, engage the clips simultaneously. When the clips
have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.
Type 9C and 9D CPU modules are equipped with 10BaseT and 10BaseF Ethernet connectors for communications.
These connectors must be individually disconnected from the module before the it can be removed from the chas-

b) TESTING
Filter networks and transient protection clamps are used in module hardware to prevent damage caused by high peak volt-
age transients, radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). These protective components
can be damaged by application of the ANSI/IEEE C37.90 specified test voltage for a period longer than the specified one
minute. For testing of dielectric strength where the test interval may exceed one minute, always observe the following pre-
cautions:
Test Precautions:
1. The connection from ground to the Filter Ground (Terminal 8b) and Surge Ground (Terminal 8a) must be removed
before testing.
2. Some versions of the digital I/O module have a Surge Ground connection on Terminal 8b. On these module types, this
connection must be removed before testing.

3.2.3 CONTROL POWER

CONTROL POWER SUPPLIED TO THE RELAY MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE MATCHING POWER SUPPLY

CAUTION
OCCUR!
The power supply module can be ordered with either of two possible voltage ranges. Each range has a dedicated input
connection for proper operation. The ranges are as shown below (see the Technical Specifications section for details).

Table 3–2: CONTROL POWER VOLTAGE RANGE


RANGE NOMINAL VOLTAGE
LO 24 to 48 V (DC only)
HI 125 to 250 V

The power supply module provides power to the relay and supplies power for dry contact input connections.

GE Power Management D60 Line Distance Relay 3-7


3.2 WIRING 3 HARDWARE

Figure 3–9: CONTROL POWER CONNECTION


The power supply module provides 48 V DC power for dry contact input connections and a critical failure relay (see TYPI-
CAL WIRING DIAGRAM). The critical failure relay is a Form-C that will be energized once control power is applied and the
relay has successfully booted up with no critical self-test failures. If any of the on-going self-test features detect a critical
failure or control power is lost, the relay will de-energize.

3.2.4 CT/VT MODULES

A CT/VT module may have voltage inputs on channels 1 through 4 inclusive, or channels 5 through 8 inclusive. Channels 1
and 5 are intended for connection to phase A, and are labeled as such in the relay. Channels 2 and 6 are intended for con-
nection to phase B, and are labeled as such in the relay. Channels 3 and 7 are intended for connection to phase C and are
labeled as such in the relay. Channels 4 and 8 are intended for connection to a single phase source. If voltage, this channel
is labelled the auxiliary voltage (VX). If current, this channel is intended for connection to a CT between a system neutral
and ground, and is labelled the ground current (IG).

a) AC CURRENT TRANSFORMER INPUTS


VERIFY THAT THE CONNECTION MADE TO THE RELAY NOMINAL CURRENT OF 1 A OR 5 A MATCHES
THE SECONDARY RATING OF THE CONNECTED CTs. UNMATCHED CTs MAY RESULT IN EQUIPMENT
CAUTION
DAMAGE OR INADEQUATE PROTECTION.
The CT/VT module may be ordered with a standard ground current input that is the same as the phase current inputs (type
8A) or with a sensitive ground input (type 8B) which is 10 times more sensitive (see the Technical Specifications section for
more details). Each AC current input has an isolating transformer and an automatic shorting mechanism that shorts the
input when the module is withdrawn from the chassis. There are no internal ground connections on the current inputs. Cur-
rent transformers with 1 to 50000 A primaries and 1 A or 5 A secondaries may be used.
CT connections for both ABC and ACB phase rotations are identical as shown in the TYPICAL WIRING DIAGRAM.

b) AC VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER INPUTS


The phase voltage channels are used for most metering and protection purposes. The auxiliary voltage channel is used as
input for the Synchrocheck and Volts/Hertz features.

NOTE

3.2.5 CONTACT INPUTS/OUTPUTS

Every digital input/output module has 24 terminal connections. They are arranged as 3 terminals per row, with 8 rows in
total. A given row of three terminals may be used for the outputs of one relay. For example, for Form-C relay outputs, the
terminals connect to the normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and common contacts of the relay. For a Form-A out-
put, there are options of using current or voltage detection for feature supervision, depending on the module ordered. The
terminal configuration for contact inputs is different for the two applications. When a digital I/O module is ordered with con-
tact inputs, they are arranged in groups of four and use two rows of three terminals. Ideally, each input would be totally iso-
lated from any other input. However, this would require that every input have two dedicated terminals and limit the available
number of contacts based on the available number of terminals. So, although each input is individually optically isolated,
each group of four inputs uses a single common as a reasonable compromise. This allows each group of four outputs to be
supplied by wet contacts from different voltage sources (if required) or a mix of wet and dry contacts.
The tables and diagrams on the following pages illustrate the module types (6A, etc.) and contact arrangements that may
be ordered for the relay. Since an entire row is used for a single contact output, the name is assigned using the module slot
position and row number. However, since there are two contact inputs per row, these names are assigned by module slot
position, row number, and column position.
UR RELAY FORM-A OUTPUT CONTACTS
Some Form-A outputs include circuits to monitor the DC voltage across the output contact when it is open, and the DC cur-
rent through the output contact when it is closed. Each of the monitors contains a level detector whose output is set to logic
“On = 1” when the current in the circuit is above the threshold setting. The voltage monitor is set to “On = 1” when the cur-
rent is above about 1 to 2.5 mA, and the current monitor is set to “On = 1” when the current exceeds about 80 to 100 mA.
The voltage monitor is intended to check the health of the overall trip circuit, and the current monitor can be used to seal-in
the output contact until an external contact has interrupted current flow. The block diagrams of the circuits are below above
for the Form-A outputs with:
a) optional voltage monitor
b) optional current monitor
c) with no monitoring

The operation of voltage and current monitors is reflected with the corresponding FlexLogic™ operands (Cont Op # Von,
Cont Op # Voff, Cont Op # Ion, and Cont Op # Ioff) which can be used in protection, control and alarm logic. The typical
application of the voltage monitor is Breaker Trip Circuit Integrity monitoring; a typical application of the Current monitor is
seal-in of the control command. Refer DIGITAL ELEMENTS section for an example of how Form A contacts can be applied
for Breaker Trip Circuit Integrity Monitoring.
Relay contacts must be considered unsafe to touch when the unit is energized!! If the relay contacts need
to be used for low voltage accessible applications, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure proper
WARNING
insulation levels!
USE OF FORM-A OUTPUTS IN HIGH IMPEDANCE CIRCUITS

NOTE For Form-A output contacts internally equipped with a voltage measuring cIrcuit across the contact, the circuit has
an impedance that can cause a problem when used in conjunction with external high input impedance monitoring
equipment such as modern relay test set trigger circuits. These monitoring circuits may continue to read the Form-
A contact as being closed after it has closed and subsequently opened, when measured as an impedance.
The solution to this problem is to use the voltage measuring trigger input of the relay test set, and connect the
Form-A contact through a voltage-dropping resistor to a DC voltage source. If the 48 V DC output of the power sup-
ply is used as a source, a 500 Ω, 10 W resistor is appropriate. In this configuration, the voltage across either the
Form-A contact or the resistor can be used to monitor the state of the output.
Wherever a tilde “~” symbol appears, substitute with the Slot Position of the module; wherever a number
sign "#" appears, substitute the contact number
NOTE

When current monitoring is used to seal-in the Form-A contact outputs, the FlexLogic™ Operand driving
the contact output should be given a reset delay of 10 ms to prevent damage of the output contact (in situ-
NOTE
ations when the element initiating the contact output is bouncing, at values in the region of the pickup
value).

A dry contact has one side connected to terminal B3b. This is the positive 48 V DC voltage rail supplied by the power sup-
ply module. The other side of the dry contact is connected to the required contact input terminal. Each contact input group
has its own common (negative) terminal which must be connected to the DC negative terminal (B3a) of the power supply
module. When a dry contact closes, a current of 1 to 3 mA will flow through the associated circuit.
A wet contact has one side connected to the positive terminal of an external DC power supply. The other side of this contact
is connected to the required contact input terminal. In addition, the negative side of the external source must be connected
to the relay common (negative) terminal of each contact input group. The maximum external source voltage for this
arrangement is 300 V DC.
The voltage threshold at which each group of four contact inputs will detect a closed contact input is programmable as
16 V DC for 24 V sources, 30 V DC for 48 V sources, 80 V DC for 110 to 125 V sources, and 140 V DC for 250 V sources.

Contact outputs may be ordered as Form-A or Form-C. The Form A contacts may be connected for external circuit supervi-
sion. These contacts are provided with voltage and current monitoring circuits used to detect the loss of DC voltage in the
circuit, and the presence of DC current flowing through the contacts when the Form-A contact closes. If enabled, the cur-
rent monitoring can be used as a seal-in signal to ensure that the Form-A contact does not attempt to break the energized
inductive coil circuit and weld the output contacts.

3.2.6 TRANSDUCER INPUTS/OUTPUTS

Transducer input/output modules can receive input signals from external dcmA output transducers (dcmA In) or resistance
temperature detectors (RTD). Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from these external transducers and
convert these signals into a digital format for use as required.
Every transducer input/output module has a total of 24 terminal connections. These connections are arranged as three ter-
minals per row with a total of eight rows. A given row may be used for either inputs or outputs, with terminals in column "a"
having positive polarity and terminals in column "c" having negative polarity. Since an entire row is used for a single input/
output channel, the name of the channel is assigned using the module slot position and row number.
Each module also requires that a connection from an external ground bus be made to Terminal 8b. The figure below illus-
trates the transducer module types (5C, 5E, and 5F) and channel arrangements that may be ordered for the relay.
Wherever a tilde “~” symbol appears, substitute with the Slot Position of the module.

3.2 WIRING 3 HARDWARE

a) RS485 PORTS
RS485 data transmission and reception are accomplished over a single twisted pair with transmit and receive data alternat-
ing over the same two wires. Through the use of these port(s), continuous monitoring and control from a remote computer,
SCADA system or PLC is possible.
To minimize errors from noise, the use of shielded twisted pair wire is recommended. Correct polarity must also be
observed. For instance, the relays must be connected with all RS485 “+” terminals connected together, and all RS485 “–”
terminals connected together. The COM terminal should be connected to the common wire inside the shield, when pro-
vided. To avoid loop currents, the shield should be grounded at one point only. Each relay should also be daisy chained to
the next one in the link. A maximum of 32 relays can be connected in this manner without exceeding driver capability. For
larger systems, additional serial channels must be added. It is also possible to use commercially available repeaters to
increase the number of relays on a single channel to more than 32. Star or stub connections should be avoided entirely.
Lightning strikes and ground surge currents can cause large momentary voltage differences between remote ends of the
3 communication link. For this reason, surge protection devices are internally provided at both communication ports. An iso-
lated power supply with an optocoupled data interface also acts to reduce noise coupling. To ensure maximum reliability, all
equipment should have similar transient protection devices installed.
Both ends of the RS485 circuit should also be terminated with an impedance as shown below.

b) 10BASE-F FIBER OPTIC PORT

ENSURE THE DUST COVERS ARE INSTALLED WHEN THE FIBER IS NOT IN USE. DIRTY OR SCRATCHED
CONNECTORS CAN LEAD TO HIGH LOSSES ON A FIBER LINK.
CAUTION

OBSERVING ANY FIBER TRANSMITTER OUTPUT MAY CAUSE INJURY TO THE EYE.

CAUTION

The fiber optic communication ports allow for fast and efficient communications between relays at 10 Mbps. Optical fiber
may be connected to the relay supporting a wavelength of 820 nanometers in multimode. Optical fiber is only available for
CPU types 9C and 9D. The 9D CPU has a 10BaseF transmitter and receiver for optical fiber communications and a second
pair of identical optical fiber transmitter and receiver for redundancy.
The optical fiber sizes supported include 50/125 µm, 62.5/125 µm and 100/140 µm. The fiber optic port is designed such
that the response times will not vary for any core that is 100 µm or less in diameter. For optical power budgeting, splices are 3
required every 1 km for the transmitter/receiver pair (the ST type connector contributes for a connector loss of 0.2 dB).
When splicing optical fibers, the diameter and numerical aperture of each fiber must be the same. In order to engage or dis-
engage the ST type connector, only a quarter turn of the coupling is required.

IRIG-B is a standard time code format that allows stamping of events to be synchronized among connected devices within
1 millisecond. The IRIG time code formats are serial, width-modulated codes which can be either DC level shifted or ampli-
tude modulated (AM). Third party equipment is available for generating the IRIG-B signal; this equipment may use a GPS
satellite system to obtain the time reference so that devices at different geographic locations can also be synchronized.

4 HUMAN INTERFACES 4.1 URPC® SOFTWARE INTERFACE 4.1.1 GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE

The URPC software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) as one of two human interfaces to a UR device. The alter-
nate human interface is implemented via the device’s faceplate keypad and display (see FACEPLATE INTERFACE section
in this chapter).
URPC provides a single facility to configure, monitor, maintain, and trouble-shoot the operation of relay functions, con-
nected over local or wide area communication networks. It can be used while disconnected (i.e. off-line) or connected (i.e.
on-line) to a UR device. In off-line mode, settings files can be created for eventual downloading to the device. In on-line
mode, you can communicate with the device in real-time.
The URPC software, provided with every D60 relay, can be run from any computer supporting Microsoft Windows® 95, 98,
or NT. This chapter provides a summary of the basic URPC software interface features. The URPC Help file provides
details for getting started and using the URPC software interface.

4.1.2 CREATING A SITE LIST

To start using the URPC program, a Site List must first be created. See the instructions in the URPC Help program under
the topic “Creating a Site List”.

4.1.3 URPC® SOFTWARE OVERVIEW 4


a) ENGAGING A COMMUNICATING DEVICE
The URPC software may be used in on-line mode (relay connected) to directly communicate with a UR relay. Communicat-
ing relays are organized and grouped by communication interfaces and into sites. Sites may contain any number of relays
selected from the UR product series.

b) USING SETTINGS FILES


The URPC software interface supports three ways of handling changes to relay settings:
• In off-line mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay settings files for later download to communicating relays.
• While connected to a communicating relay to directly modify any relay settings via relay data view windows, and then
save the settings to the relay.
• You can create/edit settings files and then write them to the relay while the interface is connected to the relay.
Settings files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A settings file contains data pertaining to the
following types of relay settings:
• Device Definition
• Product Setup
• System Setup
• FlexLogic™
• Grouped Elements
• Control Elements
• Inputs/Outputs
• Testing

e) VIEWING TRIGGERED EVENTS


While the interface is in either on-line or off-line mode, you can view and analyze data generated by triggered specified
parameters, via:
• Event Recorder facility
The event recorder captures contextual data associated with the last 1024 events, listed in chronological order from
most recent to oldest.
• Oscillography facility
The oscillography waveform traces and digital states are used to provide a visual display of power system and relay
operation data captured during specific triggered events.

f) CREATING INTERACTIVE SINGLE LINE DIAGRAMS


The URPC® software provides an icon-based interface facility for designing and monitoring electrical schematic diagrams
of sites employing UR relays.

g) FILE SUPPORT
• Execution

4 Any URPC file which is double clicked or opened will launch the application, or provide focus to the already opened
application. If the file was a settings file (*.urs) which had been removed from the Settings List tree menu, it will be
added back to the Settings List tree menu.
• Drag and Drop
The Site List and Settings List control bar windows are each mutually a drag source and a drop target for device-order-
code-compatible files or individual menu items. Also, the Settings List control bar window and any Windows Explorer
directory folder are each mutually a file drag source and drop target.
New files which are dropped into the Settings List window are added to the tree which is automatically sorted alphabet-
ically with respect to settings file names. Files or individual menu items which are dropped in the selected device menu
in the Site List window will automatically be sent to the on-line communicating device.

h) UR FIRMWARE UPGRADES
The firmware of a UR device can be upgraded, locally or remotely, via the URPC® software. The corresponding instructions
are provided by the URPC® Help program under the topic “Upgrading Firmware”.
Modbus addresses assigned to firmware modules, features, settings, and corresponding data items (i.e. default
values, min/max values, data type, and item size) may change slightly from version to version of firmware. The
NOTE
addresses are rearranged when new features are added or existing features are enhanced or modified. The
“EEPROM DATA ERROR” message displayed after upgrading/downgrading the firmware is a resettable, self-test
message intended to inform users that the Modbus addresses have changed with the upgraded firmware. This
message does not signal any problems when appearing after firmware upgrades.

4.2.5 DISPLAY

All messages are displayed on a 2 × 20 character vacuum fluorescent display to make them visible under poor lighting con-
ditions. Messages are displayed in English and do not require the aid of an instruction manual for deciphering. While the
keypad and display are not actively being used, the display will default to defined messages. Any high priority event driven
message will automatically override the default message and appear on the display.

4.2.6 KEYPAD

Display messages are organized into ‘pages’ under the following headings: Actual Values, Settings, Commands, and Tar-
gets. The key navigates through these pages. Each heading page is broken down further into logical subgroups.
The MESSAGE keys navigate through the subgroups. The VALUE keys scroll increment or decrement
numerical setting values when in programming mode. These keys also scroll through alphanumeric values in the text edit
mode. Alternatively, values may also be entered with the numeric keypad.
The key initiates and advance to the next character in text edit mode or enters a decimal point. The key may be
pressed at any time for context sensitive help messages. The key stores altered setting values.

4.2.7 BREAKER CONTROL

The D60 can interface with associated circuit breakers. In many cases the application monitors the state of the breaker,
which can be presented on faceplate LEDs, along with a breaker trouble indication. Breaker operations can be manually
initiated from faceplate keypad or automatically initiated from a FlexLogic™ operand. A setting is provided to assign names
to each breaker; this user-assigned name is used for the display of related flash messages. These features are provided for
two breakers; the user may use only those portions of the design relevant to a single breaker, which must be breaker No. 1.
For the following discussion it is assumed the SETTINGS ÖØ SYSTEM SETUP ÖØ BREAKERS Ö BREAKER n Ö BREAKER FUNC-
TION setting is "Enabled" for each breaker.

a) CONTROL MODE SELECTION & MONITORING


Installations may require that a breaker is operated in the three-pole only mode (3-Pole), or in the one and three-pole (1-
Pole) mode, selected by setting. If the mode is selected as 3-pole, a single input tracks the breaker open or closed position.
If the mode is selected as 1-Pole, all three breaker pole states must be input to the relay. These inputs must be in agree-
ment to indicate the position of the breaker.
For the following discussion it is assumed the SETTINGS ÖØ SYSTEM SETUP ÖØ BREAKERS Ö BREAKER n ÖØ BREAKER
PUSH BUTTON CONTROL setting is "Enabled" for each breaker. The D60 has features required for single-pole operation.
Inputs that trip individual breaker poles and cause a breaker reclose are passed directly to this element.

b) FACEPLATE PUSHBUTTON (USER KEY) CONTROL 4


After the 30 minute interval during which command functions are permitted after a correct command password, the user
cannot open or close a breaker via the keypad. The following discussions begin from the not-permitted state.

c) CONTROL OF TWO BREAKERS


For the following example setup, the symbol “(Name)” represents the user-programmed variable name.

NOTE

For this application (setup shown below), the relay is connected and programmed for both breaker No. 1 and breaker No. 2.
The USER 1 key performs the selection of which breaker is to be operated by the USER 2 and USER 3 keys. The USER 2
key is used to manually close the breaker and the USER 3 key is used to manually open the breaker.

ENTER COMMAND This message appears when the USER 1, USER 2, or USER 3 key is pressed and a
PASSWORD COMMAND PASSWORD is required; i.e. if COMMAND PASSWORD is enabled and no com-
mands have been issued within the last 30 minutes.

5.1.2 INTRODUCTION TO ELEMENTS

In the design of UR relays, the term “element” is used to describe a feature that is based around a comparator. The com-
parator is provided with an input (or set of inputs) that is tested against a programmed setting (or group of settings) to deter-
mine if the input is within the defined range that will set the output to logic 1, also referred to as “setting the flag”. A single
comparator may make multiple tests and provide multiple outputs; for example, the time overcurrent comparator sets a
Pickup flag when the current input is above the setting and sets an Operate flag when the input current has been at a level
above the pickup setting for the time specified by the time-current curve settings. All comparators, except the Digital Ele-
ment which uses a logic state as the input, use analog parameter actual values as the input.
5
Elements are arranged into two classes, GROUPED and CONTROL. Each element classed as a GROUPED element is
provided with eight alternate sets of settings, in setting groups numbered 1 through 8. The performance of a GROUPED
element is defined by the setting group that is active at a given time. The performance of a CONTROL element is indepen-
dent of the selected active setting group.
The main characteristics of an element are shown on the element scheme logic diagram. This includes the input(s), set-
tings, fixed logic, and the output operands that are generated (abbreviations used on scheme logic diagrams are defined in
Appendix F).
Some settings for current and voltage elements are specified in per-unit (pu) calculated quantities:
pu quantity = (actual quantity) / (base quantity)
• For current elements, the ‘base quantity’ is the nominal secondary or primary current of the CT. Where the current
source is the sum of two CTs with different ratios, the ‘base quantity’ will be the common secondary or primary current
to which the sum is scaled (i.e. normalized to the larger of the 2 rated CT inputs). For example, if CT1 = 300 / 5 A and
CT2 = 100 / 5 A, then in order to sum these, CT2 is scaled to the CT1 ratio. In this case, the ‘base quantity’ will be 5 A
secondary or 300 A primary.
• For voltage elements, the ‘base quantity’ is the nominal secondary or primary voltage of the VT.
Some settings are common to most elements and are discussed below:
FUNCTION Setting
This setting programs the element to be operational when selected as "Enabled". The factory default is "Disabled". Once
programmed to "Enabled", any element associated with the Function becomes active and all options become available.
NAME Setting
This setting is used to uniquely identify the element.
SOURCE Setting
This setting is used to select the parameter or set of parameters to be monitored.

5.1 OVERVIEW 5 SETTINGS

PICKUP Setting
For simple elements, this setting is used to program the level of the measured parameter above or below which the pickup
state is established. In more complex elements, a set of settings may be provided to define the range of the measured
parameters which will cause the element to pickup.
PICKUP DELAY Setting
This setting sets a time-delay-on-pickup, or on-delay, for the duration between the Pickup and Operate output states.
RESET DELAY Setting
This setting is used to set a time-delay-on-dropout, or off-delay, for the duration between the Operate output state and the
return to logic 0 after the input transits outside the defined pickup range.
BLOCK Setting
The default output operand state of all comparators is a logic 0 or “flag not set”. The comparator remains in this default
state until a logic 1 is asserted at the RUN input, allowing the test to be performed. If the RUN input changes to logic 0 at
any time, the comparator returns to the default state. The RUN input is used to supervise the comparator. The BLOCK input
is used as one of the inputs to RUN control.
TARGET Setting
This setting is used to define the operation of an element target message. When set to Disabled, no target message or illu-
mination of a faceplate LED indicator is issued upon operation of the element. When set to Self-Reset, the target message
and LED indication follow the Operate state of the element, and self-resets once the operate element condition clears.
When set to Latched, the target message and LED indication will remain visible after the element output returns to logic 0 -
until a RESET command is received by the relay.
EVENTS Setting
5 This setting is used to control whether the Pickup, Dropout or Operate states are recorded by the event recorder. When set
to Disabled, element pickup, dropout or operate are not recorded as events.
When set to Enabled, an event is created for:
• (Element) PKP (pickup)
• (Element) DPO (dropout)
• (Element) OP (operate)
The DPO event is created when the measure and decide comparator output transits from the pickup state (logic 1) to the
dropout state (logic 0). This could happen when the element is in the operate state if the reset delay time is not ‘0’.

5.1.3 INTRODUCTION TO AC SOURCES

a) BACKGROUND
The D60 may be used on systems with breaker-and-a-half or ring bus configurations. In these applications, each of the two
three-phase sets of individual phase currents (one associated with each breaker) can be used as an input to a breaker fail-
ure element. The sum of both breaker phase currents and 3I_0 residual currents may be required for the circuit relaying
and metering functions. For a three-winding transformer application, it may be required to calculate watts and vars for each
of three windings, using voltage from different sets of VTs. All these requirements can be satisfied with a single UR relay,
equipped with sufficient CT and VT input channels, by selecting the parameter to be measured. A mechanism is provided
to specify the AC parameter (or group of parameters) used as the input to protection/control comparators and some meter-
ing elements.
Selection of the parameter(s) to be measured is partially performed by the design of a measuring element or protection/
control comparator, by identifying the type of parameter (fundamental frequency phasor, harmonic phasor, symmetrical
component, total waveform RMS magnitude, phase-phase or phase-ground voltage, etc.) to be measured. The user com-
pletes the selection process by selecting the instrument transformer input channels to be used and some of the parameters
calculated from these channels. The input parameters available include the summation of currents from multiple input
channels. For the summed currents of phase, 3I_0 and ground current, current from CTs with different ratios are adjusted to
a single ratio before the summation.

5 SETTINGS 5.1 OVERVIEW

A mechanism called a "Source" configures the routing of input CT and VT channels to measurement sub-systems.
Sources, in the context of the UR family of relays, refer to the logical grouping of current and voltage signals such that one
Source contains all of the signals required to measure the load or fault in a particular power apparatus. A given Source may
contain all or some of the following signals: three-phase currents, single-phase ground current, three-phase voltages and
an auxiliary voltage from a single VT for checking for synchronism.
To illustrate the concept of Sources, as applied to current inputs only, consider the breaker-and-a-half scheme as illustrated
in the following figure. In this application, the current flows as shown by the labeled arrows. Some current flows through the
upper bus bar to some other location or power equipment, and some current flows into transformer winding 1. The current
into winding 1 of the power transformer is the phasor sum (or difference) of the currents in CT1 and CT2 (whether the sum
or difference is used, depends on the relative polarity of the CT connections). The same considerations apply to trans-
former winding 2. The protection elements need access to the net current for the protection of the transformer, but some
elements may need access to the individual currents from CT1 and CT2.

Figure 5–1: BREAKER-AND-A-HALF SCHEME


In conventional analog or electronic relays, the sum of the currents is obtained from an appropriate external connection of
all the CTs through which any portion of the current for the element being protected could flow. Auxiliary CTs are required to
perform ratio matching if the ratios of the primary CTs to be summed are not identical. In the UR platform, provisions have
been included for all the current signals to be brought to the UR device where grouping, ratio correction and summation are
applied internally via configuration settings.
A major advantage of using internal summation is that the individual currents are available to the protection device, as addi-
tional information to calculate a restraint current, for example, or to allow the provision of additional protection features that
operate on the individual currents such as breaker failure.
Given the flexibility of this approach, it becomes necessary to add configuration settings to the platform to allow the user to
select which sets of CT inputs will be added to form the net current into the protected device.
The internal grouping of current and voltage signals forms an internal Source. This Source can be given a specific name
through the settings, and becomes available to protection and metering elements in the UR platform. Individual names can
be given to each Source to help identify them more clearly for later use. For example, in the scheme shown in the
BREAKER-AND-A-HALF SCHEME above, the user would configure one Source to be the sum of CT1 and CT2 and could
name this Source as 'Wdg 1 Current'.
Once the Sources have been configured, the user has them available as selections for the choice of input signal for the pro-
tection elements and as metered quantities.

b) CT/VT MODULE CONFIGURATIONS


CT and VT input channels are contained in CT/VT modules in UR products. The type of input channel can be phase/neu-
tral/other voltage, phase/ground current, or sensitive ground current. The CT/VT modules calculate total waveform RMS
levels, fundamental frequency phasors, symmetrical components and harmonics for voltage or current, as allowed by the
hardware in each channel. These modules may calculate other parameters as directed by the CPU module.

GE Power Management D60 Line Distance Relay 5-5


5.1 OVERVIEW 5 SETTINGS

A CT/VT module can contain up to eight input channels numbered 1 through 8. The numbering of channels in a CT/VT
module corresponds to the module terminal numbering of 1 through 8 and is arranged as follows; channels 1, 2, 3 and 4
are always provided as a group, hereafter called a "bank," and all four are either current or voltage, as are channels 5, 6, 7
and 8. Channels 1, 2, 3 and 5, 6, 7 are arranged as phase A, B and C respectively. Channels 4 and 8 are either another
current or voltage.
Banks are ordered sequentially from the block of lower-numbered channels to the block of higher-numbered channels, and
from the CT/VT module with the lowest slot position letter to the module with the highest slot position letter, as follows:
INCREASING SLOT POSITION LETTER -->
CT/VT MODULE 1 CT/VT MODULE 2 CT/VT MODULE 3
< bank 1 > < bank 3 > < bank 5 >
< bank 2 > < bank 4 > < bank 6 >

The UR platform allows for a maximum of three sets of three-phase voltages and six sets of three-phase currents. The
result of these restrictions leads to the maximum number of CT/VT modules in a chassis to three. The maximum number of
Sources is six. A summary of CT/VT module configurations is shown below.
ITEM MAXIMUM NUMBER
CT/VT Module 3
CT Bank (3 phase channels, 1 ground channel) 6
VT Bank (3 phase channels, 1 auxiliary channel) 3

c) CT/VT INPUT CHANNEL CONFIGURATION SETTINGS


Upon startup of the relay, configuration settings for every bank of current or voltage input channels in the relay are automat-
ically generated, as determined from the order code. Within each bank, a channel identification label is automatically
5 assigned to each bank of channels in a given product. The ‘bank’ naming convention is based on the physical location of
the channels, required by the user to know how to connect the relay to external circuits. Bank identification consists of the
letter designation of the slot in which the CT/VT module is mounted as the first character, followed by numbers indicating
the channel, either 1 or 5.
For three-phase channel sets, the number of the lowest numbered channel identifies the set. For example, F1 represents
the three-phase channel set of F1/F2/F3, where F is the slot letter and 1 is the first channel of the set of three channels.
Upon startup, the CPU configures the settings required to characterize the current and voltage inputs, and will display them
in the appropriate section in the sequence of the banks (as described above) as shown below for a maximum configuration:
F1, F5, M1, M5, U1, U5.
The above section explains how the input channels are identified and configured to the specific application instrument
transformers and the connections of these transformers. The specific parameters to be used by each measuring element
and comparator, and some actual values are controlled by selecting a specific Source. The Source is a group of current
and voltage input channels selected by the user to facilitate this selection. With this mechanism, a user does not have to
make multiple selections of voltage and current for those elements that need both parameters, such as a distance element
or a watt calculation. It also gathers associated parameters for display purposes.
The basic idea of arranging a Source is to select a point on the power system where information is of interest. An applica-
tion example of the grouping of parameters in a Source is a transformer winding, on which a three phase voltage is mea-
sured, and the sum of the currents from CTs on each of two breakers is required to measure the winding current flow.

use and has fixed parameters of 19200 baud and no parity. The rear COM1 port type will depend on the CPU ordered: it
may be either an Ethernet or an RS485 port. The rear COM2 port is RS485. The RS485 ports have settings for baud rate
and parity. It is important that these parameters agree with the settings used on the computer or other equipment that is
connected to these ports. Any of these ports may be connected to a personal computer running URPC. This software is
used for downloading or uploading setting files, viewing measured parameters, and upgrading the relay firmware to the lat-

The Network setting messages will appear only if the UR is ordered with an Ethernet card. The Ethernet Primary and Sec-

fibre link status indicates a connection loss. The IP addresses are used with DNP/Network, Modbus/TCP, MMS/UCA2, IEC
60870-5-104, TFTP, and HTTP (web server) protocols. The NSAP address is used with the MMS/UCA2 protocol over the
OSI (CLNP/TP4) stack only. Each network protocol has a setting for the TCP/UDP PORT NUMBER. These settings are used
only in advanced network configurations. They should normally be left at their default values, but may be changed if
required; for example, to allow access to multiple URs behind a router. By setting a different TCP/UCP Port Number for a
given protocol on each UR, the router can map the URs to the same external IP address. The client software (URPC, for
example) must be configured to use the correct port number if these settings are used.
Do not set more than one protocol to use the same TCP/UDP Port Number, as this will result in unreliable
operation of those protocols.
WARNING
When the NSAP address, any TCP/UDP Port Number, or any User Map setting (when used with DNP) is changed,
it will not become active until power to the relay has been cycled (OFF/ON).

The D60 supports the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) version 3.0. The D60 can be used as a DNP slave device con-
nected to a single DNP master (usually either an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the D60 maintains one set of
DNP data change buffers and connection information, only one DNP master should actively communicate with the D60 at
one time. The DNP PORT setting is used to select the communications port assigned to the DNP protocol. DNP can be
assigned to a single port only. Once DNP is assigned to a serial port, the Modbus protocol is disabled on that port. Note that
COM1 can be used only in non-ethernet UR relays. When this setting is set to NETWORK, the DNP protocol can be used
over either TCP/IP or UDP/IP. Refer to Appendix E for more information on the DNP protocol.
The DNP ADDRESS setting is the DNP slave address. This number identifies the D60 on a DNP communications link. Each
DNP slave should be assigned a unique address.
The DNP NETWORK CLIENT ADDRESS settings can force the D60 to respond to a maximum of five specific DNP masters.
The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE FUNCTION should be set to "Disabled" for RS485 applications since there is no collision avoid-
ance mechanism.
The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE TIMEOUT sets the time the D60 waits for a DNP master to confirm an unsolicited response.
The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE MAX RETRIES setting determines the number of times the D60 will retransmit an unsolicited
response without receiving a confirmation from the master. A value of 255 allows infinite re-tries.
The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE DEST ADDRESS setting is the DNP address to which all unsolicited responses are sent. The IP
address to which unsolicited responses are sent is determined by the D60 from either the current DNP TCP connection or
the most recent UDP message.

5.2 PRODUCT SETUP 5 SETTINGS

The USER MAP FOR DNP ANALOGS setting allows the large pre-defined Analog Inputs points list to be replaced by the much
smaller Modbus User Map. This can be useful for users wishing to read only selected Analog Input points from the D60.
See Appendix E for more information
The NUMBER OF SOURCES IN ANALOG LIST setting allows the selection of the number of current/voltage source values that
are included in the Analog Inputs points list. This allows the list to be customized to contain data for only the sources that
are configured. This setting is relevant only when the User Map is not used.
The DNP SCALE FACTOR settings are numbers used to scale Analog Input point values. These settings group the D60 Ana-
log Input data into types: current, voltage, power, energy, and other. Each setting represents the scale factor for all Analog
Input points of that type. For example, if the DNP VOLTAGE SCALE FACTOR setting is set to a value of 1000, all DNP Analog
Input points that are voltages will be returned with values 1000 times smaller (e.g. a value of 72000 V on the D60 will be
returned as 72). These settings are useful when Analog Input values must be adjusted to fit within certain ranges in DNP
masters. Note that a scale factor of 0.1 is equivalent to a multiplier of 10 (i.e. the value will be 10 times larger).
The DNP DEFAULT DEADBAND settings are the values used by the D60 to determine when to trigger unsolicited responses
containing Analog Input data. These settings group the D60 Analog Input data into types: current, voltage, power, energy,
and other. Each setting represents the default deadband value for all Analog Input points of that type. For example, in order
to trigger unsolicited responses from the D60 when any current values change by 15 A, the DNP CURRENT DEFAULT DEAD-
BAND setting should be set to 15. Note that these settings are the default values of the deadbands. DNP object 34 points
can be used to change deadband values, from the default, for each individual DNP Analog Input point. Whenever power is
removed and re-applied to the D60, the default deadbands will be in effect.
The DNP TIME SYNC IIN PERIOD setting determines how often the "Need Time" Internal Indication (IIN) bit is set by the D60.
Changing this time allows the DNP master to send time synchronization commands more or less often, as required.
The DNP MESSAGE FRAGMENT SIZE setting determines the size, in bytes, at which message fragmentation occurs. Large
fragment sizes allow for more efficient throughput; smaller fragment sizes cause more application layer confirmations to be

5 necessary which can provide for more robust data transfer over noisy communication channels.
The DNP BINARY INPUTS USER MAP setting allows for the creation of a custom DNP Binary Inputs points list. The default
DNP Binary Inputs list on the D60 contains 928 points representing various binary states (contact inputs and outputs, vir-
tual inputs and outputs, protection element states, etc.). If not all of these points are required in the DNP master, a custom
Binary Inputs points list can be created by selecting up to 58 blocks of 16 points. Each block represents 16 Binary Input
points. Block 1 represents Binary Input points 0 to 15, block 2 represents Binary Input points 16 to 31, block 3 represents
Binary Input points 32 to 47, etc. The minimum number of Binary Input points that can be selected is 16 (1 block). If all of
the BIN INPUT BLOCK X settings are set to "Not Used", the standard list of 928 points will be in effect. The D60 will form the

The D60 supports the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. The D60 can be used as an IEC 60870-5-104 slave device connected to
a single master (usually either an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the D60 maintains one set of IEC 60870-5-104
data change buffers, only one master should actively communicate with the D60 at one time. For situations where a second
master is active in a "hot standby" configuration, the UR supports a second IEC 60870-5-104 connection providing the
standby master sends only IEC 60870-5-104 Test Frame Activation messages for as long as the primary master is active.
The NUMBER OF SOURCES IN MMENC1 LIST setting allows the selection of the number of current/voltage source values that
are included in the M_ME_NC_1 (Measured value, short floating point) Analog points list. This allows the list to be custom-
ized to contain data for only the sources that are configured.
The IEC ------- DEFAULT THRESHOLD settings are the values used by the UR to determine when to trigger spontaneous
responses containing M_ME_NC_1 analog data. These settings group the UR analog data into types: current, voltage,
power, energy, and other. Each setting represents the default threshold value for all M_ME_NC_1 analog points of that
type. For example, in order to trigger spontaneous responses from the UR when any current values change by 15 A, the
IEC CURRENT DEFAULT THRESHOLD setting should be set to 15. Note that these settings are the default values of the dead-
bands. P_ME_NC_1 (Parameter of measured value, short floating point value) points can be used to change threshold val-
ues, from the default, for each individual M_ME_NC_1 analog point. Whenever power is removed and re-applied to the UR,
the default thresholds will be in effect.
The IEC 60870-5-104 and DNP protocols can not be used at the same time. When the IEC 60870-5-104
FUNCTION setting is set to Enabled, the DNP protocol will not be operational. When this setting is changed

The fault report stores data, in non-volatile memory, pertinent to an event when triggered. The captured data will include:
• Name of the relay, programmed by the user
• Date and time of trigger
• Name of trigger (specific operand)
• Active setting group
• Pre-fault current and voltage phasors (one-quarter cycle before the trigger)
• Fault current and voltage phasors (three-quarter cycle after the trigger)
• Target Messages that are set at the time of triggering
• Events (9 before trigger and 7 after trigger)
The captured data also includes the fault type and the distance to the fault location, as well as the reclose shot number.

GE Power Management D60 Line Distance Relay 5-15


5.2 PRODUCT SETUP 5 SETTINGS

The trigger can be any FlexLogic™ operand, but in most applications it is expected to be the same operand, usually a vir-
tual output, that is used to drive an output relay to trip a breaker. To prevent the over-writing of fault events, the disturbance
detector should not be used to trigger a fault report.
If a number of protection elements are ORed to create a fault report trigger, the first operation of any element causing the
OR gate output to become high triggers a fault report. However, If other elements operate during the fault and the first oper-
ated element has not been reset (the OR gate output is still high), the fault report is not triggered again. Considering the
reset time of protection elements, there is very little chance that fault report can be triggered twice in this manner. As the
fault report must capture a usable amount of pre and post-fault data, it can not be triggered faster than every 20 ms.
Each fault report is stored as a file; the relay capacity is ten files. An eleventh trigger overwrites the oldest file. The operand
selected as the fault report trigger automatically triggers an oscillography record which can also be triggered independently.
URPC is required to view all captured data. The relay faceplate display can be used to view the date and time of trigger, the
fault type, the distance location of the fault, and the reclose shot number
The FAULT REPORT SOURCE setting selects the Source for input currents and voltages and disturbance detection. The FAULT
REPORT TRIG setting assigns the FlexLogic™ operand representing the protection element/elements requiring operational
fault location calculations. The distance to fault calculations are initiated by this signal.

Oscillography records contain waveforms captured at the sampling rate as well as other relay data at the point of trigger.
Oscillography records are triggered by a programmable FlexLogic™ operand. Multiple oscillography records may be cap-
tured simultaneously.
The NUMBER OF RECORDS is selectable, but the number of cycles captured in a single record varies considerably based on
other factors such as sample rate and the number of operational CT/VT modules. There is a fixed amount of data storage
for oscillography; the more data captured, the less the number of cycles captured per record. See the ACTUAL VALUES ÖØ
RECORDS ÖØ OSCILLOGRAPHY menu to view the number of cycles captured per record. The following table provides sam-
ple configurations with corresponding cycles/record.

A new record may automatically overwrite an older record if TRIGGER MODE is set to "Automatic Overwrite".
The TRIGGER POSITION is programmable as a percent of the total buffer size (e.g. 10%, 50%, 75%, etc.). A trigger position
of 25% consists of 25% pre- and 75% post-trigger data. 5
The TRIGGER SOURCE is always captured in oscillography and may be any FlexLogic™ parameter (element state, contact
input, virtual output, etc.). The relay sampling rate is 64 samples per cycle.
The AC INPUT WAVEFORMS setting determines the sampling rate at which AC input signals (i.e. current and voltage) are
stored. Reducing the sampling rate allows longer records to be stored. This setting has no effect on the internal sampling
rate of the relay which is always 64 samples per cycle, i.e. it has no effect on the fundamental calculations of the device.
An ANALOG CHANNEL setting selects the metering actual value recorded in an oscillography trace. The length of each oscil-
lography trace depends in part on the number of parameters selected here. Parameters set to ‘Off’ are ignored. The param-
eters available in a given relay are dependent on: (a) the type of relay, (b) the type and number of CT/VT hardware modules
installed, and (c) the type and number of Analog Input hardware modules installed. Upon startup, the relay will automati-
cally prepare the parameter list. Tables of all possible analog metering actual value parameters are presented in Appendix
A: FLEXANALOG PARAMETERS. The parameter index number shown in any of the tables is used to expedite the selec-
tion of the parameter on the relay display. It can be quite time-consuming to scan through the list of parameters via the relay
keypad/display - entering this number via the relay keypad will cause the corresponding parameter to be displayed.
All eight CT/VT module channels are stored in the oscillography file. The CT/VT module channels are named as follows:
<slot_letter><terminal_number>—<I or V><phase A, B, or C, or 4th input>
The fourth current input in a bank is called IG, and the fourth voltage input in a bank is called VX. For example, F2-IB des-
ignates the IB signal on terminal 2 of the CT/VT module in slot F. If there are no CT/VT modules and Analog Input modules,
no analog traces will appear in the file; only the digital traces will appear.
When the NUMBER OF RECORDS setting is altered, all oscillography records will be CLEARED.

Up to 6 banks of phase/ground CTs can be set.
These settings are critical for all features that have settings dependent on current measurements. When the relay is
ordered, the CT module must be specified to include a standard or sensitive ground input. As the phase CTs are connected
in Wye (star), the calculated phasor sum of the three phase currents (IA + IB + IC = Neutral Current = 3Io) is used as the
input for the neutral overcurrent elements. In addition, a zero sequence (core balance) CT which senses current in all of the
circuit primary conductors, or a CT in a neutral grounding conductor may also be used. For this configuration, the ground
CT primary rating must be entered. To detect low level ground fault currents, the sensitive ground input may be used. In this
case, the sensitive ground CT primary rating must be entered. For more details on CT connections, refer to the HARD-
WARE chapter.

Enter the rated CT primary current values. For both 1000:5 and 1000:1 CTs, the entry would be 1000. For correct opera-
tion, the CT secondary rating must match the setting (which must also correspond to the specific CT connections used).
If CT inputs (banks of current) are to be summed as one source current, the following rule applies:
EXAMPLE:
SRC1 = F1 + F5 + U1
Where F1, F5, and U1 are banks of CTs with ratios of 500:1, 1000:1 and 800:1 respectively.

CTs will be adjusted to that which would be created by a 1000:1 CT before summation. If a protection element is set up to
act on SRC1 currents, then PKP level of 1 pu will operate on 1000 A primary.
The same rule will apply for sums of currents from CTs with different secondary taps (5 A and 1 A).

NOTE
For example, on a system with a 13.8 kV nominal primary voltage and with a 14400:120 Volt VT in a Delta connec-

entered must be the phase to neutral voltage which would be 115 / 3 = 66.4.

The power system NOMINAL FREQUENCY value is used as a default to set the digital sampling rate if the system frequency
cannot be measured from available signals. This may happen if the signals are not present or are heavily distorted. Before
reverting to the nominal frequency, the frequency tracking algorithm holds the last valid frequency measurement for a safe
period of time while waiting for the signals to reappear or for the distortions to decay.
The phase sequence of the power system is required to properly calculate sequence components and power parameters.
The PHASE ROTATION setting matches the power system phase sequence. Note that this setting informs the relay of the
actual system phase sequence, either ABC or ACB. CT and VT inputs on the relay, labeled as A, B, and C, must be con-
nected to system phases A, B, and C for correct operation.

5 SETTINGS 5.3 SYSTEM SETUP

The FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE setting determines which signal source is used (and hence which AC signal) for
phase angle reference. The AC signal used is prioritized based on the AC inputs that are configured for the signal source:
phase voltages takes precedence, followed by auxiliary voltage, then phase currents, and finally ground current.
For three phase selection, phase A is used for angle referencing ( V ANGLE REF = VA ), while Clarke transformation of the
phase signals is used for frequency metering and tracking ( V FREQUENCY = ( 2 VA – V B – V C ) ⁄ 3 ) for better performance dur-
ing fault, open pole, and VT and CT fail conditions.
The phase reference and frequency tracking AC signals are selected based upon the Source configuration, regardless of
whether or not a particular signal is actually applied to the relay.
Phase angle of the reference signal will always display zero degrees and all other phase angles will be relative to this sig-
nal. If the pre-selected reference signal is not measurable at a given time, the phase angles are not referenced.
The phase angle referencing is done via a phase locked loop, which can synchronize independent UR relays if they have
the same AC signal reference. These results in very precise correlation of time tagging in the event recorder between differ-
ent UR relays provided the relays have an IRIG-B connection.
FREQUENCY TRACKING should only be set to "Disabled" in very unusual circumstances; consult the factory for spe-
cial variable-frequency applications.

There are up to 6 identical Source setting menus available, numbered from 1 to 6.


"SRC 1" can be replaced by whatever name is defined by the user for the associated source.
‘F’, ‘U’, and ‘M’ are module slot position letters. The number following the letter represents either the first bank of four chan-

INTRODUCTION TO AC SOURCES section at the beginning of this chapter for additional details.
It is possible to select the sum of any combination of CTs. The first channel displayed is the CT to which all others will be
referred. For example, the selection “F1+F5” indicates the sum of each phase from channels “F1” and “F5”, scaled to
whichever CT has the higher ratio. Selecting “None” hides the associated actual values.
The approach used to configure the AC Sources consists of several steps; first step is to specify the information about each
CT and VT input. For CT inputs, this is the nominal primary and secondary current. For VTs, this is the connection type,
ratio and nominal secondary voltage. Once the inputs have been specified, the configuration for each Source is entered,
including specifying which CTs will be summed together.
USER SELECTION OF AC PARAMETERS FOR COMPARATOR ELEMENTS:
CT/VT modules automatically calculate all current and voltage parameters that can be calculated from the inputs available.
Users will have to select the specific input parameters that are to be measured by every element, as selected in the ele-
ment settings. The internal design of the element specifies which type of parameter to use and provides a setting for selec-
tion of the Source. In some elements where the parameter may be either fundamental or RMS magnitude, such as phase
time overcurrent, two settings are provided. One setting specifies the Source, the second selects between fundamental
phasor and RMS.

DISTURBANCE DETECTORS (Internal):
The 50DD element is a sensitive current disturbance detector that is used to detect any disturbance on the protected sys-

operation as a result of the wrong settings), and starting oscillography data capture. A disturbance detector is provided for
every Source.
The 50DD function responds to the changes in magnitude of the sequence currents.

5.4 FLEXLOGIC™ 5.4.1 INTRODUCTION TO FLEXLOGIC™

To provide maximum flexibility to the user, the arrangement of internal digital logic combines fixed and user-programmed
parameters. Logic upon which individual features are designed is fixed, and all other logic, from digital input signals through
elements or combinations of elements to digital outputs, is variable. The user has complete control of all variable logic
through FlexLogic™. In general, the system receives analog and digital inputs which it uses to produce analog and digital
outputs. The major sub-systems of a generic UR relay involved in this process are shown below.

Figure 5–5: UR ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW


The states of all digital signals used in the UR are represented by flags (or FlexLogic™ operands, which are described later
in this section). A digital "1" is represented by a 'set' flag. Any external contact change-of-state can be used to block an ele-
ment from operating, as an input to a control feature in a FlexLogic™ equation, or to operate a contact output. The state of
the contact input can be displayed locally or viewed remotely via the communications facilities provided. If a simple scheme
where a contact input is used to block an element is desired, this selection is made when programming the element. This
capability also applies to the other features that set flags: elements, virtual inputs, remote inputs, schemes, and human
operators.
If more complex logic than presented above is required, it is implemented via FlexLogic™. For example, if it is desired to
have the closed state of contact input H7a and the operated state of the phase undervoltage element block the operation of
the phase time overcurrent element, the two control input states are programmed in a FlexLogic™ equation. This equation
ANDs the two control inputs to produce a "virtual output" which is then selected when programming the phase time overcur-
rent to be used as a blocking input. Virtual outputs can only be created by FlexLogic™ equations.
Traditionally, protective relay logic has been relatively limited. Any unusual applications involving interlocks, blocking, or
supervisory functions had to be hard-wired using contact inputs and outputs. FlexLogic™ minimizes the requirement for
auxiliary components and wiring while making more complex schemes possible.

5-32 D60 Line Distance Relay GE Power Management


5 SETTINGS 5.4 FLEXLOGIC™

The logic that determines the interaction of inputs, elements, schemes and outputs is field programmable through the use
of logic equations that are sequentially processed. The use of virtual inputs and outputs in addition to hardware is available
internally and on the communication ports for other relays to use (distributed FlexLogic™).
FlexLogic™ allows users to customize the relay through a series of equations that consist of operators and operands. The
operands are the states of inputs, elements, schemes and outputs. The operators are logic gates, timers and latches (with
set and reset inputs). A system of sequential operations allows any combination of specified operands to be assigned as
inputs to specified operators to create an output. The final output of an equation is a numbered register called a virtual out-
put. Virtual outputs can be used as an input operand in any equation, including the equation that generates the output, as a
seal-in or other type of feedback.
A FlexLogic™ equation consists of parameters that are either operands or operators. Operands have a logic state of 1 or 0.
Operators provide a defined function, such as an AND gate or a Timer. Each equation defines the combinations of parame-
ters to be used to set a VIRTUAL OUTPUT flag. Evaluation of an equation results in either a 1 (= ON, i.e. flag set) or 0 (=
OFF, i.e. flag not set). Each equation is evaluated at least 4 times every power system cycle.
Some types of operands are present in the relay in multiple instances; e.g. contact and remote inputs. These types of oper-
ands are grouped together (for presentation purposes only) on the faceplate display. The characteristics of the different
types of operands are listed in the table: FLEXLOGIC™ OPERAND TYPES.

5.4.2 FLEXLOGIC™ RULES

When forming a FlexLogic™ equation, the sequence in the linear array of parameters must follow these general rules:
1. Operands must precede the operator which uses the operands as inputs.
2. Operators have only one output. The output of an operator must be used to create a virtual output if it is to be used as
an input to two or more operators.
3. Assigning the output of an operator to a Virtual Output terminates the equation.
4. A timer operator (e.g. "TIMER 1") or virtual output assignment (e.g. " = Virt Op 1") may only be used once. If this rule is
broken, a syntax error will be declared.

5.4.3 FLEXLOGIC™ EVALUATION

Each equation is evaluated in the order in which the parameters have been entered.
FLEXLOGIC™ PROVIDES LATCHES WHICH BY DEFINITION HAVE A MEMORY ACTION, REMAINING IN
THE SET STATE AFTER THE SET INPUT HAS BEEN ASSERTED. HOWEVER, THEY ARE VOLATILE; I.E.
CAUTION
THEY RESET ON THE RE-APPLICATION OF CONTROL POWER.
WHEN MAKING CHANGES TO PROGRAMMING, ALL FLEXLOGIC™ EQUATIONS ARE RE-COMPILED
WHEN ANY NEW SETTING IS ENTERED, SO ALL LATCHES ARE AUTOMATICALLY RESET. IF IT IS
REQUIRED TO RE-INITIALIZE FLEXLOGIC™ DURING TESTING, FOR EXAMPLE, IT IS SUGGESTED TO
POWER THE UNIT DOWN AND THEN BACK UP.

5.4.4 FLEXLOGIC™ PROCEDURE EXAMPLE

This section provides an example of implementing logic for a typical application. The sequence of the steps is quite impor-
tant as it should minimize the work necessary to develop the relay settings. Note that the example presented in the figure
below is intended to demonstrate the procedure, not to solve a specific application situation.
In the example below, it is assumed that logic has already been programmed to produce Virtual Outputs 1 and 2, and is
only a part of the full set of equations used. When using FlexLogic™, it is important to make a note of each Virtual Output
used – a Virtual Output designation (1 to 64) can only be properly assigned once.

Figure 5–6: EXAMPLE LOGIC SCHEME


1. Inspect the example logic diagram to determine if the required logic can be implemented with the FlexLogic™ opera-
tors. If this is not possible, the logic must be altered until this condition is satisfied. Once this is done, count the inputs
to each gate to verify that the number of inputs does not exceed the FlexLogic™ limits, which is unlikely but possible. If
the number of inputs is too high, subdivide the inputs into multiple gates to produce an equivalent. For example, if 25
inputs to an AND gate are required, connect inputs 1 through 16 to one AND(16), 17 through 25 to another AND(9),
and the outputs from these two gates to a third AND(2).
Inspect each operator between the initial operands and final virtual outputs to determine if the output from the operator
is used as an input to more than one following operator. If so, the operator output must be assigned as a Virtual Output.
For the example shown above, the output of the AND gate is used as an input to both OR#1 and Timer 1, and must
therefore be made a Virtual Output and assigned the next available number (i.e. Virtual Output 3). The final output
must also be assigned to a Virtual Output as Virtual Output 4, which will be programmed in the contact output section
to operate relay H1 (i.e. Output Contact H1).

2. Prepare a logic diagram for the equation to produce Virtual Output 3, as this output will be used as an operand in the
Virtual Output 4 equation (create the equation for every output that will be used as an operand first, so that when these
operands are required they will already have been evaluated and assigned to a specific Virtual Output). The logic for
Virtual Output 3 is shown below with the final output assigned.

Figure 5–9: LOGIC FOR VIRTUAL OUTPUT 4


4. Program the FlexLogic™ equation for Virtual Output 3 by translating the logic into available FlexLogic™ parameters.
The equation is formed one parameter at a time until the required logic is complete. It is generally easier to start at the
output end of the equation and work back towards the input, as shown in the following steps. It is also recommended to
list operator inputs from bottom to top. For demonstration, the final output will be arbitrarily identified as parameter 99,
and each preceding parameter decremented by one in turn. Until accustomed to using FlexLogic™, it is suggested that
a worksheet with a series of cells marked with the arbitrary parameter numbers be prepared, as shown below.

99: The final output of the equation is Virtual Output 3, which is created by the operator "= Virt Op n". This parameter
is therefore "= Virt Op 3."
98: The gate preceding the output is an AND, which in this case requires two inputs. The operator for this gate is a 2-
input AND so the parameter is “AND(2)”. Note that FlexLogic™ rules require that the number of inputs to most
types of operators must be specified to identify the operands for the gate. As the 2-input AND will operate on the
two operands preceding it, these inputs must be specified, starting with the lower.
97: This lower input to the AND gate must be passed through an inverter (the NOT operator) so the next parameter is
“NOT”. The NOT operator acts upon the operand immediately preceding it, so specify the inverter input next. 5
96: The input to the NOT gate is to be contact input H1c. The ON state of a contact input can be programmed to be
set when the contact is either open or closed. Assume for this example the state is to be ON for a closed contact.
The operand is therefore "Cont Ip H1c On".
95: The last step in the procedure is to specify the upper input to the AND gate, the operated state of digital element
2. This operand is "DIG ELEM 2 OP".
Writing the parameters in numerical order can now form the equation for VIRTUAL OUTPUT 3:
[95] DIG ELEM 2 OP
[96] Cont Ip H1c On
[97] NOT
[98] AND(2)
[99] = Virt Op 3
It is now possible to check that this selection of parameters will produce the required logic by converting the set of parame-
ters into a logic diagram. The result of this process is shown below, which is compared to figure: LOGIC FOR VIRTUAL
OUTPUT 3 as a check.

99: The final output of the equation is VIRTUAL OUTPUT 4 which is parameter “= Virt Op 4".
98: The operator preceding the output is Timer 2, which is operand “TIMER 2". Note that the settings required for the
timer are established in the timer programming section.
97: The operator preceding Timer 2 is OR #2, a 3-input OR, which is parameter “OR(3)”.
96: The lowest input to OR #2 is operand “Cont Ip H1c On”.
95: The center input to OR #2 is operand “TIMER 1".
94: The input to Timer 1 is operand “Virt Op 3 On".
93: The upper input to OR #2 is operand “LATCH (S,R)”.
92: There are two inputs to a latch, and the input immediately preceding the latch reset is OR #1, a 4-input OR, which
is parameter “OR(4)”.
91: The lowest input to OR #1 is operand “Virt Op 3 On".
90: The input just above the lowest input to OR #1 is operand “XOR(2)”.
89: The lower input to the XOR is operand “DIG ELEM 1 PKP”.
88: The upper input to the XOR is operand “Virt Ip 1 On".
87: The input just below the upper input to OR #1 is operand “Virt Op 2 On".
86: The upper input to OR #1 is operand “Virt Op 1 On".

7. Now write the complete FlexLogic™ expression required to implement the required logic, making an effort to assemble
the equation in an order where Virtual Outputs that will be used as inputs to operators are created before needed. In
cases where a lot of processing is required to perform considerable logic, this may be difficult to achieve, but in most
cases will not cause problems because all of the logic is calculated at least 4 times per power frequency cycle. The
possibility of a problem caused by sequential processing emphasizes the necessity to test the performance of Flex-
Logic™ before it is placed in service.
In the following equation, Virtual Output 3 is used as an input to both Latch 1 and Timer 1 as arranged in the order
shown below:

In the expression above, the Virtual Output 4 input to the 4-input OR is listed before it is created. This is typical of a
form of feedback, in this case, used to create a seal-in effect with the latch, and is correct.
8. The logic should always be tested after it is loaded into the relay, in the same fashion as has been used in the past.
Testing can be simplified by placing an "END" operator within the overall set of FlexLogic™ equations. The equations
will then only be evaluated up to the first "END" operator.
The "On" and "Off" operands can be placed in an equation to establish a known set of conditions for test purposes, and
the "INSERT" and "DELETE" commands can be used to modify equations.

A FlexElement™ is a universal comparator that can be used to monitor any analog actual value calculated by the relay or a
net difference of any two analog actual values of the same type. The effective operating signal could be treated as a signed
number or its absolute value could be used as per user's choice.
The element can be programmed to respond either to a signal level or to a rate-of-change (delta) over a pre-defined period
of time. The output operand is asserted when the operating signal is higher than a threshold or lower than a threshold as
per user's choice.

The FLEXELEMENT 1 +IN setting specifies the first (non-inverted) input to the FlexElement™. Zero is assumed as the input if
this setting is set to "Off". For proper operation of the element at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element
5 will not assert its output operands.
This FLEXELEMENT 1 –IN setting specifies the second (inverted) input to the FlexElement™. Zero is assumed as the input if
this setting is set to "Off". For proper operation of the element at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element
will not assert its output operands. This input should be used to invert the signal if needed for convenience, or to make the
element respond to a differential signal such as for a top-bottom oil temperature differential alarm. The element will not
operate if the two input signals are of different types, for example if one tries to use active power and phase angle to build
the effective operating signal.
The element responds directly to the differential signal if the FLEXELEMENT 1 INPUT MODE setting is set to "Signed". The ele-
ment responds to the absolute value of the differential signal if this setting is set to "Absolute". Sample applications for the
"Absolute" setting include monitoring the angular difference between two phasors with a symmetrical limit angle in both
directions; monitoring power regardless of its direction, or monitoring a trend regardless of whether the signal increases of
decreases.
The element responds directly to its operating signal – as defined by the FLEXELEMENT 1 +IN, FLEXELEMENT 1 –IN and FLEX-
ELEMENT 1 INPUT MODE settings – if the FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE setting is set to "Threshold". The element responds to
the rate of change of its operating signal if the FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE setting is set to "Delta". In this case the FLEXELE-
MENT 1 dt UNIT and FLEXELEMENT 1 dt settings specify how the rate of change is derived.

The FLEXELEMENT 1 DIRECTION setting enables the relay to respond to either high or low values of the operating signal. The
following figure explains the application of the FLEXELEMENT 1 DIRECTION, FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP and FLEXELEMENT 1 HYS-
TERESIS settings.

The FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP setting specifies the operating threshold for the effective operating signal of the element. If set
to "Over", the element picks up when the operating signal exceeds the FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP value. If set to "Under", the
element picks up when the operating signal falls below the FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP value.
The FLEXELEMENT 1 HYSTERESIS setting controls the element dropout. It should be noticed that both the operating signal
and the pickup threshold can be negative facilitating applications such as reverse power alarm protection. The FlexEle-
ment™ can be programmed to work with all analog actual values measured by the relay. The FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP set-
ting is entered in pu values using the following definitions of the base units:

5 The FLEXELEMENT 1 HYSTERESIS setting defines the pickup–dropout relation of the element by specifying the width of the
hysteresis loop as a percentage of the pickup value as shown in the FLEXELEMENT DIRECTION, PICKUP, AND HYS-
TERESIS diagram.
The FLEXELEMENT 1 DT UNIT setting specifies the time unit for the setting FLEXELEMENT 1 dt. This setting is applicable only if

The line pickup feature uses a combination of undercurrent and undervoltage to identify a line that has been de-energized
(line end open). Three instantaneous overcurrent elements are used to identify a previously de-energized line that has
been closed onto a fault which could be due to maintenance grounds that have not been removed. Faults other than close-
in faults can be identified satisfactorily by the distance elements which initially will be self or faulted phase polarized and
then become memory polarized when a satisfactory memory signal is available.
Co-ordination features are included to ensure satisfactory operation when high speed ‘automatic reclosure (AR)’ is
employed. The AR CO-ORD DELAY setting allows the overcurrent setting to be below the expected load current seen after
reclose. Co-ordination is achieved by the POS SEQ OV element picking up and blocking the trip path, before the AR CO-
ORD DELAY times out. The AR CO-ORD BYPASS setting is normally enabled. It is disabled if high speed AR is implemented.

The positive sequence undervoltage pickup setting is based on phase to neutral quantities. If Delta VTs are used, then this
per unit pickup is based on the (VT SECONDARY setting) / 3 .

Two common settings (DISTANCE SOURCE and MEMORY DURATION) and eight menus for four zones of phase and ground dis-
tance protection are available. The DISTANCE SOURCE identifies the Signal Source for all distance functions.
The MHO distance functions use a dynamic characteristic: the positive-sequence voltage – either memorized or actual – is
used as a polarizing signal. The memory voltage is also used by the built-in directional supervising functions applied for
both the MHO and QUAD characteristics.
The MEMORY DURATION setting specifies the length of time a memorized positive-sequence voltage should be used in the
distance calculations. After this interval expires, the relay checks the magnitude of the actual positive-sequence voltage. If
it is higher than 10% of the nominal, the actual voltage is used, if lower – the memory voltage continues to be used.
The memory is established when the positive-sequence voltage stays above 80% of its nominal value for five power sys-
tem cycles. For this reason it is important to ensure that the nominal secondary voltage of the VT is entered correctly under
the SETTINGS Ø SYSTEM SETUP Ö AC INPUTS ÖØ VOLTAGE BANK menu.
Set MEMORY DURATION long enough to ensure stability on close-in reverse three-phase faults. For this purpose, the maxi-
mum fault clearing time (breaker fail time) in the substation should be considered. On the other hand, the MEMORY DURA-
TION cannot be too long as the power system may experience power swing conditions rotating the voltage and current
phasors slowly while the memory voltage is static, as frozen at the beginning of the fault. Keeping the memory in effect for
too long may eventually cause maloperation of the distance functions.

The phase MHO distance function uses a dynamic 100% memory-polarized mho characteristic with additional reactance,
directional, and overcurrent supervising characteristics. The phase quad distance function is comprised of a reactance
characteristic, right and left blinders, and 100% memory-polarized directional and current supervising characteristics. Addi-
tional details may be found in the THEORY OF OPERATION chapter.
Four zones of phase distance protection are provided. Each zone is configured individually through its own setting menu.
All of the settings can be independently modified for each of the zones except:

PHS DIST Z1 REACH:


This setting defines the zone reach. The reach impedance is entered in secondary ohms. The reach impedance angle is
entered as the PHS DIST Z1 RCA setting.
Zone 1 is characterized by transient overreach of less than 5% under Source Impedance Ratios of up to 30. When setting
an under-reaching Zone 1 for direct dripping and under-reaching pilot schemes (DUTT, PUTT) other factors should be also
considered as per rules of distance relaying.
PHS DIST Z1 RCA:
This setting specifies the characteristic angle (similar to the "maximum torque angle" in previous technologies) of the phase
distance characteristic. The setting is an angle of reach impedance as shown in MHO DISTANCE CHARACTERISTIC and
QUAD DISTANCE CHARACTERISTIC figures.
This setting is independent from PHS DIST Z1 DIR RCA, the characteristic angle of an extra directional supervising function.
PHS DIST Z1 COMP LIMIT:
This setting shapes the operating characteristic. In particular, it produces the lens-type characteristic of the MHO function
and a tent-shaped characteristic of the reactance boundary of the quad function.
If the mho shape is selected, the same limit angle applies to both the mho and supervising reactance comparators. In con-
junction with the mho shape selection, the setting improves loadability of the protected line. In conjunction with the quad
characteristic, this setting improves security for faults close to the reach point by adjusting the reactance boundary into a
tent-shape.
PHS DIST Z1 DIR RCA:
This setting select the characteristic angle (or "maximum torque angle") of the directional supervising function. If the mho
shape is applied, the directional function is an extra supervising function as the dynamic mho characteristic itself is a direc-
5 tional one. In conjunction with the quad shape selection, this setting defines the only directional function built into the phase
distance element. The directional function uses the memory voltage for polarization.
This setting typically equals the distance characteristic angle PHS DIST Z1 RCA.
PHS DIST Z1 DIR COMP LIMIT:
This setting selects the comparator limit angle for the directional supervising function.
PHS DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD:
This setting defines the right blinder position of the quad characteristic along the resistive axis of the impedance plane (see
the QUAD DISTANCE CHARACTERISTIC figure). The angular position of the blinder is adjustable with the use of the PHS
DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA setting.

This setting applies only to the quad characteristic and should be set giving consideration to the maximum load current and
required resistive coverage.
PHS DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA:
This setting defines the angular position of the right blinder of the quad characteristic (see the QUAD DISTANCE CHARAC-
TERISTIC figure). This setting applies only to the quad characteristic.
PHS DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD:
This setting defines the left blinder position of the quad characteristic along the resistive axis of the impedance plane (see
the QUAD DISTANCE CHARACTERISTIC figure). The angular position of the blinder is adjustable with the use of the PHS
DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA setting. This setting applies only to the quad characteristic and should be set with consideration
to the maximum load current.
PHS DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA:
This setting defines the angular position of the left blinder of the quad characteristic (see the QUAD DISTANCE CHARAC-
TERISTIC figure). This setting applies only to the quad characteristic.

PHS DIST Z1 SUPV:


The phase distance elements are supervised by the magnitude of the line-to-line current (fault loop current used for the dis-
tance calculations). For convenience, 3 is accommodated by the pickup (i.e., before being used, the entered value of the
threshold setting is multiplied by 3 ).
If the minimum fault current level is sufficient, the current supervision pickup should be set above maximum full load current
preventing maloperation under VT fuse fail conditions. This requirement may be difficult to meet for remote faults at the end
of Zones 2 through 4. If this is the case, the current supervision pickup would be set below the full load current, but this may
result in maloperation during fuse fail conditions.
Zone 1 is sealed-in with the current supervision.
PHS DIST Z1 VOLT LEVEL:
This setting is relevant for applications on series-compensated lines, or in general, if series capacitors are located between
the relaying point and a point for which the zone shall not overreach. For plain (non-compensated) lines, this setting shall
be set to zero. Otherwise, the setting is entered in per unit of the phase VT bank configured under the DISTANCE SOURCE.
See the THEORY OF OPERATION chapter for more details, and the APPLICATION OF SETTINGS chapter for information
on how to calculate this setting for applications on series compensated lines.
PHS DIST Z1 DELAY:
This setting enables the user to delay operation of the distance elements and implement a stepped distance protection.
The distance element timers for Zones 2 through 4 apply a short dropout delay to cope with faults located close to the zone
boundary when small oscillations in the voltages and/or currents could inadvertently reset the timer. Zone 1 does not need
any drop out delay because it is sealed-in by the presence of current.
PHS DIST Z1 BLK:
This setting enables the user to select a FlexLogic™ operand to block a given distance element. VT fuse fail detection is
one of the applications for this setting. 5

The ground MHO distance function uses a dynamic 100% memory-polarized mho characteristic with additional reactance,
directional, current, and phase selection supervising characteristics. The ground quadrilateral distance function is com-
posed of a reactance characteristic, right and left blinders, and 100% memory-polarized directional, overcurrent, and phase
selection supervising characteristics.
The reactance supervision uses zero-sequence current as a polarizing quantity making the characteristic adaptable to the
pre-fault power flow. The directional supervision uses memory voltage as polarizing quantity and both zero- and negative-
sequence currents as operating quantities.
The phase selection supervision restrains the ground elements during double-line-to-ground faults as they – by principles
of distance relaying – may be inaccurate in such conditions. Ground distance Zones 2 through 4 apply additional zero-
sequence directional supervision. See the THEORY OF OPERATION chapter for additional details.
Four zones of ground distance protection are provided. Each zone is configured individually through its own setting menu.
All of the settings can be independently modified for each of the zones except:
• Signal Source (common for both phase and ground elements for all four zones as entered under the SETTINGS ÖØ
GROUPED ELEMENTS Ö SETTING GROUP 1(8) ÖØ DISTANCE menu).

• Memory duration (common for both phase and ground elements for all four zones as entered under the SETTINGS ÖØ
GROUPED ELEMENTS Ö SETTING GROUP 1(8) ÖØ DISTANCE menu).
The common distance settings noted at the start of the DISTANCE section must be properly chosen for correct operation of
the ground distance elements.
Although all four zones can be used as either instantaneous elements (pickup [PKP] and dropout [DPO] FlexLogic™ sig-

5 nals) or time-delayed elements (operate [OP] FlexLogic™ signals), only Zone 1 is intended for the instantaneous under-
reaching tripping mode.
Ensure that the PHASE VT SECONDARY VOLTAGE (see the SETTINGS ÖØ SYSTEM SETUP Ö AC INPUTS ÖØ VOLTAGE
BANK menu) is set correctly to prevent improper operation of associated memory action.

GND DIST Z1 Z0/Z1 ANG:
This setting specifies the angle difference between the zero-sequence and positive-sequence impedance required for zero-
sequence compensation of the ground distance elements. The entered value is the zero-sequence impedance angle minus
the positive-sequence impedance angle.
This setting is available on a per-zone basis, enabling precise values for tapped, non-homologous, and series-compen-
sated lines.
GND DIST Z1 ZOM/Z1 MAG:
The ground distance elements can be programmed to apply compensation for the zero-sequence mutual coupling between
parallel lines. If the compensation is required, the ground current from the parallel line (3I_0) measured in the direction of
zone being compensated must be connected to the ground input CT of the CT bank configured under the DISTANCE
SOURCE. This setting specifies the ratio between the magnitudes of the mutual zero-sequence impedance between the
lines and the positive-sequence impedance of the protected line. It is imperative to set this setting to zero if the compensa-
tion is not to be performed.

GROUND DIRECTIONAL SUPERVISION:
A dual (zero- and negative-sequence) memory-polarized directional supervision applied to the ground distance protection
elements has been shown to give good directional integrity. However, a reverse double-line-to-ground fault can lead to a
maloperation of the ground element in a sound phase if the zone reach setting is increased to cover high resistance faults.
Ground distance Zones 2 through 4 use an additional ground directional supervision to enhance directional integrity. The
element’s directional characteristic angle is used as a "maximum torque angle" together with a 90° limit angle.
The supervision is biased toward operation in order to avoid compromising the sensitivity of ground distance elements at
low signal levels. Otherwise, the reverse fault condition that generates concern will have high polarizing levels so that a cor-
rect reverse fault decision can be reliably made. The supervision for Zones 2 and 3 is removed during single-pole reclo-
sure.

The Power Swing Detect element provides both power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping functions. The element mea-
sures the positive-sequence apparent impedance and traces its locus with respect to either two or three user-selectable
operating characteristic boundaries as per user choice. Upon detecting appropriate timing relations, the blocking and/or
tripping indication is given through FlexLogic™ operands. The POWER SWING OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS and
POWER SWING LOGIC figures should be viewed along with the following discussion to develop an understanding of the
operation of the element.
a) POWER SWING BLOCKING
Three-step operation:
The power swing blocking sequence essentially times the passage of the locus of the positive-sequence impedance
between the outer and the middle characteristic boundaries. If the locus enters the outer characteristic (as indicated by set-
ting of the POWER SWING OUTER FlexLogic™ operand) but stays outside the middle characteristic (as indicated by set-
ting of the POWER SWING MIDDLE FlexLogic™ operand) for an interval longer than POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 1 the
power swing blocking signal (POWER SWING BLOCK FlexLogic™ operand) is established and sealed-in. The blocking
signal resets when the locus leaves the outer characteristic, but not sooner than after POWER SWING RESET DELAY 1 time.
Two-step operation:
If the 2-step mode is selected, the sequence is identical, but it is the outer and inner characteristics that are used to time the
power swing locus.

b) OUT-OF-STEP TRIPPING
Three-step operation:
The out-of-step trip sequence identifies unstable power swings by determining if the impedance locus spends a finite time
between the outer and middle characteristics and then a finite time between the middle and inner characteristics.
The first step is similar to the power swing blocking sequence. After timer POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 1 times out, Latch 1
is set as long as the impedance stays within the outer characteristic.
5
If afterwards, at any time (given the impedance stays within the outer characteristic), the locus enters the middle character-
istic but stays outside the inner characteristic for a period of time defined as POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2, Latch 2 is set as
long as the impedance stays inside the outer characteristic.
If afterwards, at any time (given the impedance stays within the outer characteristic), the locus enters the inner characteris-
tic and stays there for a period of time defined as POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 3, Latch 2 is set as long as the impedance
stays inside the outer characteristic - the element is now ready to trip.
If the "Early" trip mode is selected, operand POWER SWING TRIP is set immediately and is sealed-in for the interval estab-
lished by setting POWER SWING SEAL-IN DELAY.
If the "Delayed" trip mode is selected, the element waits until the impedance locus leaves the inner characteristic, then
times out the POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2 delay, and sets Latch 4 - the element is now ready to trip. The trip operand will
be set later, when the impedance locus leaves the outer characteristic.
Two-step operation:
The 2-step mode of operation is similar to the 3-step mode with two exceptions. First, the initial stage monitors the time
spent by the impedance locus between the outer and inner characteristics. Second, the stage involving timer POWER
SWING PICKUP DELAY 2 is bypassed.
It is up to the user to integrate the blocking (POWER SWING BLOCK) and tripping (POWER SWING TRIP) FlexLogic™
operands with other protection functions and output contacts in order to make this element fully operational.

POWER SWING FUNCTION:
This setting enables/disables the entire POWER SWING DETECT protection element. The setting applies to both power
swing blocking and out-of-step tripping functions.
POWER SWING SOURCE:
The source setting identifies the Signal Source for both blocking and tripping functions.
POWER SWING MODE:
This setting selects between the 2-step and 3-step operating modes and applies to both power swing blocking and out-of-
step tripping functions.
The 3-step mode applies if there is enough space between the maximum load impedances and distance characteristics of
the relay that all three (outer, middle, and inner) characteristics can be placed between the load and the distance character-
istics. Whether the spans between the outer and middle as well as the middle and inner characteristics are sufficient should
be determined by analysis of the fastest power swings expected in correlation with settings of the power swing timers.
The 2-step mode uses only the outer and inner characteristics for both blocking and tripping functions. This leaves more
space in heavily loaded systems to place two power swing characteristics between the distance characteristics and the
maximum load, but allows for only one determination of the impedance trajectory.
POWER SWING SUPV:
A common overcurrent pickup level supervises all three power swing characteristics. The supervision responds to the pos-
itive sequence current.
POWER SWING FWD REACH:

5 This setting specifies the forward reach of all three characteristics. For a simple system consisting of a line and two equiva-
lent sources, this reach should be higher than the sum of the line and remote source positive-sequence impedances.
Detailed transient stability studies may be needed for complex systems in order to determine this setting.
POWER SWING FWD RCA:
This setting specifies the angle of the forward reach impedance. The angle is measured as shown in the POWER SWING
DETECT ELEMENT OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS diagram.
POWER SWING REV REACH:
This setting specifies the reverse reach of all three power detect characteristics. For a simple system consisting of a line
and two equivalent sources, this reach should be higher than the positive-sequence impedance of the local source.
Detailed transient stability studies may be needed for complex systems in order to determine this setting.
POWER SWING REV RCA:
This setting specifies the angle of the reverse reach impedance. The angle is measured as shown in the POWER SWING
DETECT ELEMENT OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS diagram.
POWER SWING OUTER LIMIT ANGLE:
This setting defines the outer power swing detect characteristic. The convention depicted in the POWER SWING DETECT
ELEMENT OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS diagram should be observed: values greater than 90° result in an "apple"
shaped characteristic, values lower than 90° result in a lens shaped characteristic. This angle must be selected in consider-
ation of to the maximum expected load. If the "maximum load angle" is known, the outer limit angle should be coordinated
with some 20° security margin. Detailed studies may be needed for complex systems in order to determine this setting.
POWER SWING MIDDLE LIMIT ANGLE:
This setting defines the middle power swing detect characteristic. This setting is relevant only if the 3-step mode is
selected. A typical value would be close to the average of the outer and inner limit angles.
POWER SWING INNER LIMIT ANGLE:
This setting defines the inner power swing detect characteristic.
The inner characteristic is used by the out-of-step tripping function: beyond the inner characteristic out-of-step trip action is
definite (the actual trip may be delayed as per the TRIP MODE setting). Therefore, this angle must be selected in consider-
ation to the power swing angle beyond which the system becomes unstable and cannot recover.

5-72 D60 Line Distance Relay GE Power Management


5 SETTINGS 5.5 GROUPED ELEMENTS

The inner characteristic is also used by the power swing blocking function in the 2-step mode. Therefore, this angle must
be set large enough so that the characteristics of the distance elements are safely enclosed by the inner characteristic.
POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 1:
All the coordinating timers are related to each other and should be set to detect the fastest expected power swing and pro-
duce out-of-step tripping in a secure manner. The timers should be set in consideration to the power swing detect charac-
teristics, mode of power swing detect operation and mode of out-of-step tripping.
This timer defines the interval that the impedance locus must spend between the outer and inner characteristics (2-step
operating mode), or between the outer and middle characteristics (3-step operating mode) before the power swing blocking
signal is established. This time delay must be set shorter than the time required for the impedance locus to travel between
the two selected characteristics during the fastest expected power swing.
This setting is relevant for both power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping.
POWER SWING RESET DELAY 1:
This setting defines the dropout delay for the power swing blocking signal. Detection of a condition requiring a Block output
sets Latch 1 after PICKUP DELAY 1 time. When the impedance locus leaves the outer characteristic, timer POWER SWING
RESET DELAY 1 is started. When the timer times-out the latch is reset.

This setting should be selected to give extra security for the power swing blocking action.
POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2:
This setting controls the out-of-step tripping function in the 3-step mode only. This timer defines the interval the impedance
locus must spend between the middle and inner characteristics before the second step of the out-of-step tripping sequence
is completed. This time delay must be set shorter than the time required for the impedance locus to travel between the two
characteristics during the fastest expected power swing.
POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 3: 5
This setting controls the out-of-step tripping function only. This timer defines the interval the impedance locus must spend
within the inner characteristic before the last step of the out-of-step tripping sequence is completed and the element is
armed to trip. The actual moment of tripping is controlled by the TRIP MODE setting.
This time delay is provided for extra security before the out-of-step trip action is executed.
POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 4:
This setting controls the out-of-step tripping function in the Delayed trip mode only. This timer defines the interval the
impedance locus must spend outside the inner characteristic but within the outer characteristic before the element gets
armed for the Delayed trip. The delayed trip will take place when the impedance leaves the outer characteristic.
This time delay is provided for extra security and should be set considering the fastest expected power swing.
POWER SWING SEAL-IN DELAY:
The out-of-step trip FlexLogic™ operand (POWER SWING TRIP) is sealed-in for the specified period of time. The sealing-
in is crucial in the delayed trip mode, as the original trip signal is a very short pulse occurring when the impedance locus
leaves the outer characteristic after the out-of-step sequence is completed.
POWER SWING TRIP MODE:
Selection of the "Early" trip mode results in an instantaneous trip after the last step in the out-of-step tripping sequence is
completed. The Early trip mode will stress the circuit breakers as the currents at that moment are high (the electromotive
forces of the two equivalent systems are approximately 180° apart).
Selection of the "Delayed" trip mode results in a trip at the moment when the impedance locus leaves the outer character-
istic. Delayed trip mode will relax the operating conditions for the breakers as the currents at that moment are low.
The selection should be made considering the capability of the breakers in the system.
POWER SWING BLK:
This setting specifies the FlexLogic™ operand used for blocking the out-of-step function only. The power swing blocking
function is operational all the time as long as the element is enabled.
The blocking signal resets the output POWER SWING TRIP operand but does not stop the out-of-step tripping sequence.

The relay current elements menu consists of time overcurrent (TOC) , instantaneous overcurrent (IOC), and directional cur-
rent elements. These elements can be used for tripping, alarming, or other functions.

5.5.8 INVERSE TOC CURVE CHARACTERISTICS

The inverse time overcurrent curves used by the TOC (time overcurrent) Current Elements are the IEEE, IEC, GE Type
IAC, and I2t standard curve shapes. This allows for simplified coordination with downstream devices. If however, none of
these curve shapes is adequate, the FlexCurve™ may be used to customize the inverse time curve characteristics. The
Definite Time curve is also an option that may be appropriate if only simple protection is required.

Table 5–15: OVERCURRENT CURVE TYPES

IEEE Extremely Inv. IEC Curve A (BS142) IAC Extremely Inv. I2t
IEEE Very Inverse IEC Curve B (BS142) IAC Very Inverse FlexCurve A

IEC Short Inverse IAC Short Inverse Definite Time

A time dial multiplier setting allows selection of a multiple of the base curve shape (where the time dial multiplier = 1) with
the curve shape (CURVE) setting. Unlike the electromechanical time dial equivalent, operate times are directly proportional
to the time multiplier (TD MULTIPLIER) setting value. For example, all times for a multiplier of 10 are 10 times the multiplier 1
or base curve values. Setting the multiplier to zero results in an instantaneous response to all current levels above pickup.
Time overcurrent time calculations are made with an internal “energy capacity” memory variable. When this variable indi- 5
cates that the energy capacity has reached 100%, a time overcurrent element will operate. If less than 100% energy capac-
ity is accumulated in this variable and the current falls below the dropout threshold of 97 to 98% of the pickup value, the
variable must be reduced. Two methods of this resetting operation are available: “Instantaneous” and “Timed”. The Instan-
taneous selection is intended for applications with other relays, such as most static relays, which set the energy capacity
directly to zero when the current falls below the reset threshold. The Timed selection can be used where the relay must
coordinate with electromechanical relays. With this setting, the energy capacity variable is decremented according to the
equation provided.
Graphs of standard time-current curves on 11” × 17” log-log graph paper are available upon request from
the GE Power Management literature department. The original files are also available in PDF format on the

are defined as IEC Curve A, IEC Curve B, and IEC Curve C. The formulae for these curves are:

K tr
---------------------------------- ---------------------------------
-
T = TDM ×  ---------------
I E
- –1 T RESET = TDM ×  I  2
 I pickup ---------------- – 1
 I pickup

where: T = Operate Time (sec.) TDM = Multiplier Setting I = Input Current


Ipickup = Pickup Current Setting K, E = Constants tr = Characteristic Constant
TRESET = Reset Time in sec. (assuming energy capacity is 100% and RESET: Timed)

DEFINITE TIME CURVE:
The Definite Time curve shape operates as soon as the pickup level is exceeded for a specified period of time. The base
definite time curve delay is in seconds. The curve multiplier of 0.00 to 600.00 makes this delay adjustable from instanta-
neous to 600.00 seconds in steps of 10 ms.
T = TDM in seconds, when I > Ipickup
TRESET = –TDM in seconds

The phase time overcurrent element can provide a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied current or
be used as a simple Definite Time element. The phase current input quantities may be programmed as fundamental phasor
magnitude or total waveform RMS magnitude as required by the application.
Two methods of resetting operation are available: “Timed” and “Instantaneous” (refer to the INVERSE TOC CURVE CHAR-
ACTERISTICS section for details on curve setup, trip times and reset operation). When the element is blocked, the time
accumulator will reset according to the reset characteristic. For example, if the element reset characteristic is set to "Instan-
taneous" and the element is blocked, the time accumulator will be cleared immediately.
The PHASE TOC1 PICKUP setting can be dynamically reduced by a voltage restraint feature (when enabled). This is accom-
plished via the multipliers (Mvr) corresponding to the phase-phase voltages of the voltage restraint characteristic curve
(see the figure below); the pickup level is calculated as ‘Mvr’ times the PICKUP setting. If the voltage restraint feature is dis-
abled, the pickup level always remains at the setting value.

This element is intended to apply a block signal to an overcurrent element to prevent an operation when current is flowing
in a particular direction. The direction of current flow is determined by measuring the phase angle between the current from
the phase CTs and the line-line voltage from the VTs, based on the 90° or "quadrature" connection. If there is a requirement
to supervise overcurrent elements for flows in opposite directions, such as can happen through a bus-tie breaker, two
phase directional elements should be programmed with opposite ECA settings.

To increase security for three phase faults very close to the location of the VTs used to measure the polarizing voltage, a
‘voltage memory’ feature is incorporated. This feature remembers the measurement of the polarizing voltage the moment
before the voltage collapses, and uses it to determine direction. The voltage memory remains valid for one second after the
voltage has collapsed.
The main component of the phase directional element is the phase angle comparator with two inputs: the operating signal
(phase current) and the polarizing signal (the line voltage, shifted in the leading direction by the characteristic angle, ECA).
The following table shows the operating and polarizing signals used for phase directional control:
PHASE OPERATING POLARIZING SIGNAL VPOL
SIGNAL
ABC PHASE SEQUENCE ACB PHASE SEQUENCE
A Angle of IA Angle of VBC × (1∠ECA) Angle of VCB × (1∠ECA)
B Angle of IB Angle of VCA × (1∠ECA) Angle of VAC × 1∠ECA)
C Angle of IC Angle of VAB × (1∠ECA) Angle of VBA × (1∠ECA)

MODE OF OPERATION:
• When the Phase Directional function is "Disabled", or the operating current is below 5% × CT Nominal, the element
output is "0".
• When the Phase Directional function is "Enabled", the operating current is above 5% × CT Nominal and the polarizing
voltage is above the set threshold, the element output depends on the phase angle between the operating and polariz-
ing signals as follows:
– The element output is logic "0" when the operating current is within polarizing voltage ±90°.
– For all other angles, the element output is logic "1".

5 • Once the voltage memory has expired, the phase overcurrent elements under directional control can be set to block or
trip on overcurrent as follows:
– When BLOCK WHEN V MEM EXP is set to "Yes", the directional element will block the operation of any phase overcur-
rent element under directional control when voltage memory expires. When set to "No", the directional element
allows tripping of phase overcurrent elements under directional control when voltage memory expires.
In all cases, directional blocking will be permitted to resume when the polarizing voltage becomes greater than the "polariz-
ing voltage threshold".
SETTINGS:
PHASE DIR 1 SIGNAL SOURCE:
This setting is used to select the source for the operating and polarizing signals.
The operating current for the phase directional element is the phase current for the selected current source. The polarizing
voltage is the line voltage from the phase VTs, based on the 90° or "quadrature" connection and shifted in the leading direc-
tion by the Element Characteristic Angle (ECA).
PHASE DIR 1 ECA:
This setting is used to select the Element Characteristic Angle, i.e. the angle by which the polarizing voltage is shifted in the
leading direction to achieve dependable operation. In the design of UR elements, a block is applied to an element by
asserting logic 1 at the blocking input. This element should be programmed via the ECA setting so that the output is logic 1
for current in the non-tripping direction.
PHASE DIR 1 POL V THRESHOLD:
This setting is used to establish the minimum level of voltage for which the phase angle measurement is reliable. The set-
ting is based on VT accuracy. The default value is 0.05 pu.
PHASE DIR 1 BLOCK WHEN V MEM EXP:
This setting is used to select the required operation upon expiration of voltage memory. When set to "Yes", the directional
element blocks the operation of any phase overcurrent element under directional control, when voltage memory expires;
when set to "No", the directional element allows tripping of phase overcurrent elements under directional control.

The Phase Directional element would respond to the forward load current. In the case of a following
reverse fault, the element needs some time – in the order of 8 msec – to establish a blocking signal. Some
NOTE
protection elements such as instantaneous overcurrent may respond to reverse faults before the blocking
signal is established. Therefore, a coordination time of at least 10 msec must be added to all the instanta-
neous protection elements under the supervision of the Phase Directional element. If current reversal is of
a concern, a longer delay – in the order of 20 msec – may be needed.

The Neutral Instantaneous Overcurrent element may be used as an instantaneous function with no intentional delay or as a
Definite Time function. The element essentially responds to the magnitude of a neutral current fundamental frequency pha-
sor calculated from the phase currents. A “positive-sequence restraint” is applied for better performance. A small portion 5
(6.25%) of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the zero-sequence current magnitude when forming
the operating quantity of the element as follows:
I op = 3 × ( I_0 – K ⋅ I_1 ) , where K = 1/16.
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence currents
resulting from:
• system unbalances under heavy load conditions
• transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during double-line and three-phase faults
• switch-off transients during double-line and three-phase faults
The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pickup accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The operating quantity depends on how test currents are injected into the relay (single-phase injection:
I op = 0.9375 ⋅ I injected ; three-phase pure zero-sequence injection: I op = 3 × I injected ).

There are two Neutral Directional Overcurrent protection elements available. The element provides both forward and
reverse fault direction indications the NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD and NEUTRAL DIR OC1 REV operands, respectively. The
output operand is asserted if the magnitude of the operating current is above a pickup level (overcurrent unit) and the fault
direction is seen as “forward or “reverse”, respectively (directional unit).
The overcurrent unit responds to the magnitude of a fundamental frequency phasor of the either the neutral current calcu-
lated from the phase currents or the ground current. There are two separate pickup settings for the forward- and reverse-
looking functions, respectively. If set to use the calculated 3I_0, the element applies a “positive-sequence restraint” for bet-
ter performance: a small portion (6.25%) of the positive–sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the zero-sequence
current magnitude when forming the operating quantity.
I op = 3 × ( I_0 – K × I_1 ) , where K is 1/16.
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence currents
resulting from:
• System unbalances under heavy load conditions.
• Transformation errors of Current Transformers (CTs) during double-line and three-phase faults.
• Switch-off transients during double-line and three-phase faults.

The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pickup accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay (single-phase injection:
Iop = 0.9375 × Iinjected ; three-phase pure zero-sequence injection: Iop = 3 × Iinjected).
The directional unit uses the zero-sequence current (I_0) or ground current (IG) for fault direction discrimination and may
be programmed to use either zero-sequence voltage ("Calculated V0" or "Measured VX"), ground current (IG), or both for
polarizing. The following tables define the Neutral Directional Overcurrent element.

Figure 5–43: NEUTRAL DIRECTIONAL VOLTAGE-POLARIZED CHARACTERISTICS


5 The above figure shows the voltage-polarized phase angle comparator characteristics for a phase-A to ground fault, with:
ECA = 90° (Element Characteristic Angle = centerline of operating characteristic)
FWD LA = 80° (Forward Limit Angle = the ± angular limit with the ECA for operation)
REV LA = 80° (Reverse Limit Angle = the ± angular limit with the ECA for operation)
The element incorporates a current reversal logic: if the reverse direction is indicated for at least 1.25 of a power system
cycle, the prospective forward indication will be delayed by 1.5 of a power system cycle. The element is designed to emu-
late an electromechanical directional device. Larger operating and polarizing signals will result in faster directional discrimi-
nation bringing more security to the element operation.
The forward-looking function is designed to be more secure as compared to the reverse-looking function, and therefore,
should be used for the tripping direction. The reverse-looking function is designed to be faster as compared to the forward-
looking function and should be used for the blocking direction. This allows for better protection coordination.
The above bias should be taken into account when using the Neutral Directional Overcurrent element to ’directionalize’
other protection elements.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POLARIZING:
This setting selects the polarizing mode for the directional unit.
• If "Voltage" polarizing is selected, the element uses the zero-sequence voltage angle for polarization. The user can use
either the zero-sequence voltage V_0 calculated from the phase voltages, or the zero-sequence voltage supplied
externally as the auxiliary voltage Vx, both from the NEUTRAL DIR OC1 SOURCE.
The calculated V_0 can be used as polarizing voltage only if the voltage transformers are connected in Wye. The aux-
iliary voltage can be used as the polarizing voltage provided SYSTEM SETUP Ö AC INPUTS ÖØ VOLTAGE BANK ÖØ AUX-
ILIARY VT CONNECTION is set to "Vn" and the auxiliary voltage is connected to a zero-sequence voltage source (such as
open delta connected secondary of VTs).
The zero-sequence voltage (V_0) or auxiliary voltage (Vx), accordingly, must be higher than 1 V secondary to be vali-
dated for use as a polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is not valid, neither forward nor reverse indication is given.
• If "Current" polarizing is selected, the element uses the ground current angle connected externally and configured
under NEUTRAL OC1 SOURCE for polarization. The ground current transformer must be connected between the ground
and neutral point of an adequate local source of ground current. The ground current must be higher than 0.05 pu to be

5-92 D60 Line Distance Relay GE Power Management


5 SETTINGS 5.5 GROUPED ELEMENTS

validated for use as a polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is not valid neither forward nor reverse indication is
given.
For a choice of current polarizing, it is recommended that the polarizing signal be analyzed to ensure that a known
direction is maintained irrespective of the fault location. For example, if using an autotransformer neutral current as a
polarizing source, it should be ensured that a reversal of the ground current does not occur for a high-side fault. The
low-side system impedance should be assumed minimal when checking for this condition. A similar situation arises for
a WYE/DELTA/WYE transformer, where current in one transformer winding neutral may reverse when faults on both
sides of the transformer are considered.
• If "Dual" polarizing is selected, the element performs both directional comparisons as described above. A given direc-
tion is confirmed if either voltage or current comparators indicate so. If a conflicting (simultaneous forward and reverse)
indication occurs, the forward direction overrides the reverse direction.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POL VOLT:
Selects the polarizing voltage used by the directional unit when "Voltage" or "Dual" polarizing mode is set. The polarizing
voltage can be programmed to be either the zero-sequence voltage calculated from the phase voltages ("Calculated V0")
or supplied externally as an auxiliary voltage ("Measured VX").
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 OP CURR:
This setting indicates whether the 3I_0 current calculated from the phase currents, or the ground current shall be used by
this protection. This setting acts as a switch between the neutral and ground modes of operation (67N and 67G). If set to
"Calculated 3I0" the element uses the phase currents and applies the positive-sequence restraint; if set to "Measured IG"
the element uses ground current supplied to the ground CT of the CT bank configured as NEUTRAL DIR OC1 SOURCE. Natu-
rally, it is not possible to use the ground current as an operating and polarizing signal simultaneously. Therefore, "Voltage"
is the only applicable selection for the polarizing mode under the "Measured IG" selection of this setting.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 OFFSET:
This setting specifies the offset impedance used by this protection. The primary application for the offset impedance is to
5
guarantee correct identification of fault direction on series compensated lines. See the APPLICATION OF SETTINGS
chapter for information on how to calculate this setting.
In regular applications, the offset impedance ensures proper operation even if the zero-sequence voltage at the relaying
point is very small. If this is the intent, the offset impedance shall not be larger than the zero-sequence impedance of the
protected circuit. Practically, it shall be several times smaller. See the THEORY OF OPERATION chapter for more details.
The offset impedance shall be entered in secondary ohms.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD ECA:
This setting defines the characteristic angle (ECA) for the forward direction in the "Voltage" polarizing mode. The "Current"
polarizing mode uses a fixed ECA of 0°.
The ECA in the reverse direction is the angle set for the forward direction shifted by 180°.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD LIMIT ANGLE:
This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit angle for the forward direction.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD PICKUP:
This setting defines the pickup level for the overcurrent unit of the element in the forward direction. When selecting this set-
ting it must be kept in mind that the design uses a "positive-sequence restraint" technique for the "Calculated 3I0" mode of
operation.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 REV LIMIT ANGLE:
This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit angle for the reverse direction.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 REV PICKUP:
This setting defines the pickup level for the overcurrent unit of the element in the reverse direction. When selecting this set-
ting it must be kept in mind that the design uses a "positive-sequence restraint" technique for the "Calculated 3I0" mode of
operation.

The negative sequence time overcurrent element may be used to determine and clear unbalance in the system. The input
for calculating negative sequence current is the fundamental phasor value.
Two methods of resetting operation are available; “Timed” and “Instantaneous” (refer to the INVERSE TIME OVERCUR-
RENT CURVE CHARACTERISTICS section for details on curve setup, trip times and reset operation). When the element
is blocked, the time accumulator will reset according to the reset characteristic. For example, if the element reset character-
istic is set to "Instantaneous" and the element is blocked, the time accumulator will be cleared immediately.

The Negative Sequence Instantaneous Overcurrent element may be used as an instantaneous function with no intentional
delay or as a Definite Time function. The element responds to the negative-sequence current fundamental frequency pha-
5 sor magnitude (calculated from the phase currents) and applies a “positive-sequence” restraint for better performance: a
small portion (12.5%) of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the negative-sequence current magni-
tude when forming the operating quantity:
I op = I_2 – K ⋅ I_1 , where K = 1/8.
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious negative-sequence cur-
rents resulting from:
• system unbalances under heavy load conditions
• transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during three-phase faults
• fault inception and switch-off transients during three-phase faults
The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pickup accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay (single phase injection:
I op = 0.2917 ⋅ I injected ; three phase injection, opposite rotation: I op = I injected ).

There are two Negative Sequence Directional Overcurrent protection elements available. The element provides both for-
ward and reverse fault direction indications through its output operands NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD and NEG SEQ DIR OC1
REV, respectively. The output operand is asserted if the magnitude of the operating current is above a pickup level (over-
current unit) and the fault direction is seen as “forward or “reverse”, respectively (directional unit).
The overcurrent unit of the element essentially responds to the magnitude of a fundamental frequency phasor of either
the negative-sequence or zero-sequence current as per user selection. The zero-sequence current should not be mistaken
with the neutral current (factor 3 difference).
A “positive-sequence restraint” is applied for better performance: a small portion (12.5% for negative-sequence and 6.25%
for zero-sequence) of the positive–sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the negative- or zero-sequence current
magnitude, respectively, when forming the element operating quantity.
Iop = |I_2| – K × |I_1|, where K is 1/8, or Iop = |I_0| – K × |I_1|, where K is 1/16.
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious negative- and zero-
sequence currents resulting from:
• System unbalances under heavy load conditions.
• Transformation errors of Current Transformers (CTs).
• Fault inception and switch-off transients.
The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pick-up accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay:

• single-phase injection:
Iop = 0.2917 × Iinjected (negative-sequence mode);
Iop = 0.3125 × Iinjected (zero-sequence mode);
• three-phase pure zero- or negative-sequence injection, respectively: Iop = Iinjected.
• The directional unit uses the negative-sequence current and voltage for fault direction discrimination.
The following table defines the Negative Sequence Directional Overcurrent element.
OVERCURRENT UNIT DIRECTIONAL UNIT
MODE OPERATING CURRENT DIRECTION COMPARED PHASORS
Negative-Sequence Iop = |I_2| – K × I_1| Forward –V_2 + Z_offset × I_2 I_2 × 1∠ECA
Reverse –V_2 + Z_offset × I_2 –(I_2 × 1∠ECA)
Zero-Sequence Iop = |I_0| – K × |I_1| Forward –V_2 + Z_offset × I_2 I_2 × 1∠ECA
Reverse –V_2 + Z_offset × I_2 –(I_2 × 1∠ECA)

The negative-sequence voltage must be higher than 1 V secondary in order to be validated for use as a polarizing signal. If
the polarizing signal is not validated neither forward nor reverse indication is given.

Figure 5–49: NEG SEQ DIRECTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS


The above figure shows the phase angle comparator characteristics for a phase-A to ground fault, with settings of:
ECA = 75° (Element Characteristic Angle = centerline of operating characteristic)
FWD LA = 80° (Forward Limit Angle = ± the angular limit with the ECA for operation)
REV LA = 80° (Reverse Limit Angle = ± the angular limit with the ECA for operation)
The element incorporates a current reversal logic: if the reverse direction is indicated for at least 1.25 of a power system
cycle, the prospective forward indication will be delayed by 1.5 of a power system cycle.
The element is designed to emulate an electromechanical directional device. Larger operating and polarizing signals will
result in faster directional discrimination bringing more security to the element operation.

The forward-looking function is designed to be more secure as compared to the reverse-looking function, and therefore,
should be used for the tripping direction. The reverse-looking function is designed to be faster as compared to the forward-
looking function and should be used for the blocking direction. This allows for better protection coordination.
The above bias should be taken into account when using the Negative Sequence Directional Overcurrent element to "direc-
tionalize" other protection elements.
NEG SEQ DIR OC1 OFFSET:
This setting specifies the offset impedance used by this protection. The primary application for the offset impedance is to
guarantee correct identification of fault direction on series compensated lines. See the APPLICATION OF SETTINGS
chapter for information on how to calculate this setting.
In regular applications, the offset impedance ensures proper operation even if the negative-sequence voltage at the relay-
ing point is very small. If this is the intent, the offset impedance shall not be larger than the negative-sequence sequence
impedance of the protected circuit. Practically, it shall be several times smaller. See the THEORY OF OPERATION chapter
for more details. The offset impedance shall be entered in secondary ohms.
NEG SEQ DIR OC1 TYPE:
This setting selects the operating mode for the overcurrent unit of the element. The choices are "Neg Sequence" and "Zero
Sequence". In some applications it is advantageous to use a directional negative-sequence overcurrent function instead of
a directional zero-sequence overcurrent function as inter-circuit mutual effects are minimized.\
NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD ECA:
This setting select the element characteristic angle (ECA) for the forward direction. The element characteristic angle in the
reverse direction is the angle set for the forward direction shifted by 180°.
NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD LIMIT ANGLE:
This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit angle for the forward direction. 5
NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD PICKUP:
This setting defines the pickup level for the overcurrent unit of the element in the forward direction. Upon NEG SEQ DIR OC1
TYPE selection, this pickup threshold applies to zero- or negative-sequence current.
When selecting this setting it must be kept in mind that the design uses a "positive-sequence restraint" technique.
NEG SEQ DIR OC1 REV LIMIT ANGLE:
This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit angle for the reverse direction.
NEG SEQ DIR OC1 REV PICKUP:
This setting defines the pickup level for the overcurrent unit of the element in the reverse direction. Upon NEG SEQ DIR OC1
TYPE selection, this pickup threshold applies to zero- or negative-sequence current.
When selecting this setting it must be kept in mind that the design uses a "positive-sequence restraint" technique.

There are 2 identical Breaker Failure menus available, numbered 1 and 2.


In general, a breaker failure scheme determines that a breaker signaled to trip has not cleared a fault within a definite time,
so further tripping action must be performed. Tripping from the breaker failure scheme should trip all breakers, both local
and remote, that can supply current to the faulted zone. Usually operation of a breaker failure element will cause clearing of
a larger section of the power system than the initial trip. Because breaker failure can result in tripping a large number of
breakers and this affects system safety and stability, a very high level of security is required.
Two schemes are provided: one for three-pole tripping only (identified by the name "3BF") and one for three pole plus sin-
gle-pole operation (identified by the name "1BF"). The philosophy used in these schemes is identical. The operation of a
breaker failure element includes three stages: initiation, determination of a breaker failure condition, and output.
INITIATION STAGE:
A FlexLogic™ operand representing the protection trip signal initially sent to the breaker must be selected to initiate the
scheme, except for the D60 relay were this is already programmed as a Trip Output (the protection trip signal does not
include other breaker commands that are not indicative of a fault in the protected zone). The initiating signal should be
sealed-in if primary fault detection can reset before the breaker failure timers have finished timing. The seal-in is supervised
by current level, so it is reset when the fault is cleared. If desired, an incomplete sequence seal-in reset can be imple-
mented by using the initiating operand to also initiate a FlexLogic™ timer, set longer than any breaker failure timer, whose
output operand is selected to block the breaker failure scheme.
Schemes can be initiated either directly or with current level supervision. It is particularly important in any application to
decide if a current-supervised initiate is to be used. The use of a current-supervised initiate results in the breaker failure
element not being initiated for a breaker that has very little or no current flowing through it, which may be the case for trans-
former faults. For those situations where it is required to maintain breaker fail coverage for fault levels below the BF1 PH
AMP SUPV PICKUP or the BF1 N AMP SUPV PICKUP setting, a current supervised initiate should not be used. This feature
should be utilized for those situations where coordinating margins may be reduced when high speed reclosing is used.
Thus, if this choice is made, fault levels must always be above the supervision pickup levels for dependable operation of

5 SETTINGS 5.5 GROUPED ELEMENTS

the breaker fail scheme. This can also occur in breaker-and-a-half or ring bus configurations where the first breaker closes
into a fault; the protection trips and attempts to initiate breaker failure for the second breaker, which is in the process of
closing, but does not yet have current flowing through it.
When the scheme is initiated, it immediately sends a trip signal to the breaker initially signaled to trip (this feature is usually
described as Re-Trip). This reduces the possibility of widespread tripping that results from a declaration of a failed breaker.
DETERMINATION OF A BREAKER FAILURE CONDITION:
The schemes determine a breaker failure condition via three ‘paths’. Each of these paths is equipped with a time delay,
after which a failed breaker is declared and trip signals are sent to all breakers required to clear the zone. The delayed
paths are associated with Breaker Failure Timers 1, 2 and 3, which are intended to have delays increasing with increasing
timer numbers. These delayed paths are individually enabled to allow for maximum flexibility.
Timer 1 logic (Early Path) is supervised by a fast-operating breaker auxiliary contact. If the breaker is still closed (as indi-
cated by the auxiliary contact) and fault current is detected after the delay interval, an output is issued. Operation of the
breaker auxiliary switch indicates that the breaker has mechanically operated. The continued presence of current indicates
that the breaker has failed to interrupt the circuit.
Timer 2 logic (Main Path) is not supervised by a breaker auxiliary contact. If fault current is detected after the delay interval,
an output is issued. This path is intended to detect a breaker that opens mechanically but fails to interrupt fault current; the
logic therefore does not use a breaker auxiliary contact.
The Timer 1 and 2 paths provide two levels of current supervision, Hiset and Loset, so that the supervision level can be
changed from a current which flows before a breaker inserts an opening resistor into the faulted circuit to a lower level after
resistor insertion. The Hiset detector is enabled after timeout of Timer 1 or 2, along with a timer that will enable the Loset
detector after its delay interval. The delay interval between Hiset and Loset is the expected breaker opening time. Both cur-
rent detectors provide a fast operating time for currents at small multiples of the pickup value. The O/C detectors are
required to operate after the breaker failure delay interval to eliminate the need for very fast resetting O/C detectors.
Timer 3 logic (Slow Path) is supervised by a breaker auxiliary contact and a control switch contact used to indicate that the 5
breaker is in/out of service, disabling this path when the breaker is out of service for maintenance. There is no current level
check in this logic as it is intended to detect low magnitude faults and it is therefore the slowest to operate.
9. OUTPUT:
The outputs from the schemes are:
• FlexLogic™ operands that report on the operation of portions of the scheme
• FlexLogic™ operand used to re-trip the protected breaker
• FlexLogic™ operands that initiate tripping required to clear the faulted zone. The trip output can be sealed-in for an
adjustable period.
• Target message indicating a failed breaker has been declared
• Illumination of the faceplate TRIP LED (and the PHASE A, B or C LED, if applicable)

5 BF1 USE TIMER 2:


If set to Yes, the Main Path is operational.
BF1 TIMER 2 PICKUP DELAY:
Timer 2 is set to the expected opening time of the breaker, plus a safety margin. This safety margin was historically
intended to allow for measuring and timing errors in the breaker failure scheme equipment. In microprocessor relays this
time is not significant. In UR relays, which use a Fourier transform, the calculated current magnitude will ramp-down to zero
one power frequency cycle after the current is interrupted, and this lag should be included in the overall margin duration, as
it occurs after current interruption. The BREAKER FAILURE MAIN PATH SEQUENCE diagram shows a margin of two
cycles; this interval is considered the minimum appropriate for most applications.
Note that in bulk oil circuit breakers, the interrupting time for currents less than 25% of the interrupting rating can be signifi-
cantly longer than the normal interrupting time.
BF1 USE TIMER 3:
If set to Yes, the Slow Path is operational.
BF1 TIMER 3 PICKUP DELAY:
Timer 3 is set to the same interval as Timer 2, plus an increased safety margin. Because this path is intended to operate

These settings select the FlexLogic™ operand to initiate phase A, B, or C single-pole tripping of the breaker and the phase
A, B, or C portion of the scheme, accordingly.
BF1 BKR POS1 φB / BF1 BKR POS 1 φC (valid only for 1-pole breaker failure schemes):
These settings select the FlexLogic™ operand to represents the protected breaker early-type auxiliary switch contact on
poles B or C, accordingly. This contact is normally a non-multiplied Form-A contact. The contact may even be adjusted to
have the shortest possible operating time.
BF1 BKR POS2 φB (valid only for 1-pole breaker failure schemes):
Selects the FlexLogic™ operand that represents the protected breaker normal-type auxiliary switch contact on pole B (52/
a). This may be a multiplied contact.
BF1 BKR POS2 φC (valid only for 1-pole breaker failure schemes):
This setting selects the FlexLogic™ operand that represents the protected breaker normal-type auxiliary switch contact on
pole C (52/a). This may be a multiplied contact. For single-pole operation, the scheme has the same overall general con-
cept except that it provides re-tripping of each single pole of the protected breaker. The approach shown in the following
single pole tripping diagram uses the initiating information to determine which pole is supposed to trip. The logic is segre-
gated on a per-pole basis. The overcurrent detectors have ganged settings.
Upon operation of the breaker failure element for a single pole trip command, a 3-pole trip command should be given via
output operand "BF1 TRIP OP".

These protection elements can be used for a variety of applications such as:
Undervoltage Protection: For voltage sensitive loads, such as induction motors, a drop in voltage increases the drawn
current which may cause dangerous overheating in the motor. The undervoltage protection feature can be used to either
5 cause a trip or generate an alarm when the voltage drops below a specified voltage setting for a specified time delay.
Permissive Functions: The undervoltage feature may be used to block the functioning of external devices by operating an
output relay when the voltage falls below the specified voltage setting. The undervoltage feature may also be used to block
the functioning of other elements through the block feature of those elements.
Source Transfer Schemes: In the event of an undervoltage, a transfer signal may be generated to transfer a load from its
normal source to a standby or emergency power source.
The undervoltage elements can be programmed to have a Definite Time delay characteristic. The Definite Time curve oper-
ates when the voltage drops below the pickup level for a specified period of time. The time delay is adjustable from 0 to
600.00 seconds in steps of 10 ms. The undervoltage elements can also be programmed to have an inverse time delay
characteristic. The undervoltage delay setting defines the family of curves shown below.

The phase undervoltage element may be used to give a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied fun-
damental voltage (phase to ground or phase to phase for Wye VT connection, or phase to phase only for Delta VT connec-
tion) or as a simple Definite Time element. The element resets instantaneously if the applied voltage exceeds the dropout
voltage. The delay setting selects the minimum operating time of the phase undervoltage element. The minimum voltage
setting selects the operating voltage below which the element is blocked (a setting of ‘0’ will allow a dead source to be con-
sidered a fault condition).

The phase overvoltage element may be used as an instantaneous element with no intentional time delay or as a Definite
Time element. The input voltage is the phase-to-phase voltage, either measured directly from Delta-connected VTs or as

The Setting Groups menu controls the activation/deactivation of up to eight possible groups of settings in the GROUPED ELE-
MENTS settings menu. The faceplate ‘SETTINGS IN USE’ LEDs indicate which active group (with a non-flashing energized
LED) is in service. 5
The SETTING GROUPS BLK setting prevents the active setting group from changing when the FlexLogic™ parameter is set to
"On". This can be useful in applications where it is undesirable to change the settings under certain conditions, such as the
breaker being open.
Each GROUP ~ ACTIVATE ON setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand which, when set, will make the particular setting group
active for use by any grouped element. A priority scheme ensures that only one group is active at a given time – the high-
est-numbered group which is activated by its ACTIVATE ON parameter takes priority over the lower-numbered groups.
There is no "activate on" setting for group 1 (the default active group), because group 1 automatically becomes active if no
other group is active.
The relay can be set up via a FlexLogic™ equation to receive requests to activate or de-activate a particular non-default
settings group. The following FlexLogic™ equation (see the figure below) illustrates requests via remote communications
(e.g. VIRTUAL INPUT 1) or from a local contact input (e.g. H7a) to initiate the use of a particular settings group, and
requests from several overcurrent pickup measuring elements to inhibit the use of the particular settings group. The
assigned VIRTUAL OUTPUT 1 operand is used to control the ON state of a particular settings group.

This element is primarily used to collect trip requests from protection elements and other inputs to generate output oper-
ands to initiate trip operations. Three pole trips will only initiate reclosure if programmed to do so, whereas single pole trips
will always automatically initiate reclosure. The TRIP 3-POLE and TRIP 1-POLE output operands can also be used as
inputs to a FlexLogic OR gate to operate the faceplate TRIP indicator LED.

5-120 D60 Line Distance Relay GE Power Management


5 SETTINGS 5.6 CONTROL ELEMENTS

a) THREE POLE OPERATION


In applications where single pole tripping is not required this element provides a convenient method of collecting inputs to
initiate tripping of circuit breakers, the reclose element and breaker failure elements.

b) SINGLE POLE OPERATION


This element must be used in single pole operation applications.

NOTE

In these applications this element is used to:


• determine if a single pole operation should be performed
• collect inputs to initiate three pole tripping, the recloser and breaker failure elements
• collect inputs to initiate single pole tripping, the recloser and breaker failure elements
• assign a higher priority to pilot aided scheme outputs than to exclusively local inputs.
This element works in association with other elements in the relay (see the THEORY OF OPERATION chapter for a com-
plete description of single pole operations) that must be fully programmed and in service for successful operation. The
other necessary elements are: Recloser, Breaker Control, Open Pole Detector, and Phase Selector. The recloser must also
be in the "Reset" state before a single pole trip can be issued. Outputs from this element are also directly connected as ini-
tiate signals to the breaker failure elements.
At least one internal protection element or digital input representing detection of a fault must be available as an input to this
element. In pilot-aided scheme applications (DUTT, PUTT, POTT, Hybrid POTT, and Directional Blocking) a timer can be
used to delay the output decision until data from a remote terminal is received from communications facilities, to prevent a
three pole operation where a single pole operation is permitted.
5
c) SETTINGS
TRIP MODE:
This setting is used to select the required mode of operation. If selected to "3 Pole Only" outputs for all three phases are
always set simultaneously. If selected to "3 Pole & 1 Pole" outputs for all three phases are set simultaneously unless the
phase selector or a pilot aided scheme determines the fault is single-phase-to-ground. If the fault is identified as being AG,
BG or CG only the operands for the faulted phase will be asserted.
TRIP 3-POLE INPUT-1 (through 6):
This setting is used to select an operand representing a fault condition that is not desired to initiate a single pole operation,
e.g. phase undervoltage. Use a FlexLogic OR-gate if more than six inputs are required.
TRIP 1-POLE INPUT-1 (through 6):
This setting is used to select an operand representing a fault condition that is desired to initiate a single pole trip-and-
reclose if the fault is single phase to ground, e.g. distance Zone 1. Use a FlexLogic™ OR-gate if more than six inputs are
required. The inputs do not have to be phase-specific as the phase selector determines the fault type.
8 msec after the single-pole reclosing is initiated, the AR FORCE 3-P TRIP operand is asserted by the autorecloser. This
operand calls for three-pole trip if any protection element configured under TRIP 1-POLE INPUT is still picked-up. The Open
Pole Detector provides blocking inputs to distance elements, and therefore the latter will reset immediately after the TRIP
1-POLE operand is asserted. For other protection elements used in single-pole tripping, the user must ensure they will
reset immediately after tripping, otherwise the fact that they are still picked up will be detected as an evolving fault and the
relay will trip three-poles. For example, if high-set phase IOC is used (TRIP 1-POLE INPUT X: "PHASE IOC1 OP"), then OPEN
POLE OP ΦA shall be used for blocking phase A of the IOC element. In this way, after tripping phase A, the phase A IOC is
forced to reset. Phases B and C are still operational and can detect an evolving fault as soon as 8 msec after tripping phase
A. Neutral and negative-sequence IOCs shall be blocked from the OPEN POLE BLK N operand unless the pickup setting is
high enough to prevent pickup during single-pole reclosing.
TRIP RECLOSE INPUT-1 (through 6):
This setting is used to select an operand representing a fault condition that is desired to initiate three pole reclosing, e.g.
phase distance Zone 1. Use a FlexLogic™ OR-gate if more than six inputs are required.

TRIP FORCE 3-POLE:


This setting is used to select an operand that will force an input that is selected for single pole operation to produce a three
pole operation, e.g. a Virtual Input that is asserted by an operator in some operating situations.
TRIP PILOT PRIORITY:
This setting is used to set an interval equal to the inter-relay channel communications time, plus an appropriate margin,
during which outputs are not asserted. This delay permits fault identification information from a remote terminal to be used
instead of local data only.
BKR ΦA OPEN through BKR ΦC OPEN:
These settings specify FlexLogic™ operands that indicate open poles of the breaker(s). The trip signal produced by the
feature is sealed-in as long as the breaker(s) remain closed and resets when the breaker(s) opens as conveyed by the
breaker pole status. These settings shall be left "Off" if the D60 Open Pole feature is used. The latter passes the OPEN
POLE BKR ΦA OP through OPEN POLE BKR ΦA OP operands that bear the breaker(s) position.

This setting establishes a maximum voltage magnitude for V2 in ‘pu’. Below this magnitude, the V2 voltage input used for
synchrocheck will be considered "Dead" or de-energized.
SYNCHK1 LIVE V1 MIN VOLT:

synchrocheck will be considered "Live" or energized.
NOTES:
1. The selected Sources for synchrocheck inputs V1 and V2 (which must not be the same Source) may include both a
three-phase and an auxiliary voltage. The relay will automatically select the specific voltages to be used by the syn-
chrocheck element in accordance with the following table.

NO. V1 OR V2 V2 OR V1 AUTO-SELECTED AUTO-SELECTED VOLTAGE

3 Phase VT Phase VT Phase Phase VAB
4 Phase VT and Auxiliary VT Phase Auxiliary V auxiliary
Auxiliary VT (as set for Source z)
5 Auxiliary VT Auxiliary VT Auxiliary Auxiliary V auxiliary
(as set for selected sources)

The voltages V1 and V2 will be matched automatically so that the corresponding voltages from the two Sources will be
used to measure conditions. A phase to phase voltage will be used if available in both sources; if one or both of the
Sources have only an auxiliary voltage, this voltage will be used. For example, if an auxiliary voltage is programmed to
VAG, the synchrocheck element will automatically select VAG from the other Source. If the comparison is required on
a specific voltage, the user can externally connect that specific voltage to auxiliary voltage terminals and then use this
"Auxiliary Voltage" to check the synchronism conditions.
If using a single CT/VT module with both phase voltages and an auxiliary voltage, ensure that only the auxiliary voltage
is programmed in one of the Sources to be used for synchrocheck.
Exception: Synchronism cannot be checked between Delta connected phase VTs and a Wye connected
auxiliary voltage.

2. The relay measures frequency and Volts/Hz from an input on a given Source with priorities as established by the con-
figuration of input channels to the Source. The relay will use the phase channel of a three-phase set of voltages if
programmed as part of that Source. The relay will use the auxiliary voltage channel only if that channel is pro-
grammed as part of the Source and a three-phase set is not.
The are two identical synchrocheck elements available, numbered 1 and 2.
The synchronism check function is intended for supervising the paralleling of two parts of a system which are to be joined
by the closure of a circuit breaker. The synchrocheck elements are typically used at locations where the two parts of the
system are interconnected through at least one other point in the system.
Synchrocheck verifies that the voltages (V1 and V2) on the two sides of the supervised circuit breaker are within set limits
of magnitude, angle and frequency differences.
The time while the two voltages remain within the admissible angle difference is determined by the setting of the phase
angle difference ∆Φ and the frequency difference ∆F (slip frequency). It can be defined as the time it would take the voltage
phasor V1 or V2 to traverse an angle equal to 2 × ∆Φ at a frequency equal to the frequency difference ∆F. This time can be
calculated by:
1
T = -------------------------------
-
360°
------------------ × ∆ F
2 × ∆Φ
where: ∆Φ = phase angle difference in degrees; ∆F = frequency difference in Hz.
As an example; for the default values (∆Φ = 30°, ∆F = 0.1 Hz), the time while the angle between the two voltages will be
less than the set value is:
1
T = ------------------------------- 1 - = 1.66 sec.
- = ------------------------------------------
360° 360°
5 ------------------ × ∆ F
2 × ∆Φ
------------------- × 0.1 Hz
2 × 30°
If one or both sources are de-energized, the synchrocheck programming can allow for closing of the circuit breaker using
undervoltage control to by-pass the synchrocheck measurements (Dead Source function).

a) DESCRIPTION
The autoreclose scheme is intended for use on transmission lines with circuit breakers operated in both the single pole and
three pole modes, in one or two breaker arrangements. The autoreclose scheme provides four programs with different
operating cycles, depending on the fault type. Each of the four programs can be set to trigger up to two reclosing attempts.
The second attempt always performs three pole reclosing and has an independent dead time delay.
When used in two breaker applications, the reclosing sequence is selectable. The reclose signal can be sent to one
selected breaker only, to both breakers simultaneously or to both breakers in sequence (one breaker first and then, after a
delay to check that the reclose was successful, to the second breaker). When reclosing in sequence, the first breaker
should trip and reclose single pole or three pole, according to the fault type and reclose mode; the second breaker should
always trip and reclose 3-Pole. When reclosing simultaneously, for the first shot both breakers should trip and reclose either
single pole or three pole, according to the fault type and the reclose mode.
The signal used to initiate the autoreclose scheme is the trip output from protection. This signal can be single pole tripping
for single phase faults and three phase tripping for multiphase faults.
OPERATION:
The autoreclose scheme has five operating states, defined below.
Table 5–25: AUTORECLOSE OPERATION
STATE CHARACTERISTICS
Enabled Scheme is permitted to operate
Disabled Scheme is not permitted to operate
Reset Scheme is permitted to operate and shot count is reset to 0
Reclose In Progress Scheme has been initiated but the reclose cycle is not finished (successful or not)
Lockout Scheme is not permitted to operate until reset received

AR PROGRAMS:
The autorecloser provides four programs that can cause one or two reclose attempts (shots). The second reclose will
always be three pole. If the maximum number of shots selected is "1" (only one reclose attempt) and the fault is persistent,
after the first reclose the scheme will go to Lockout upon another Initiate signal.
For the 3-pole reclose programs (modes 3 and 4), an "AR FORCE 3-P" FlexLogic™ operand is set. This operand can be
used in connection with the tripping logic to cause a three-pole trip for single-phase faults.

• MODE 1, 1 & 3 POLE: When in this mode the autorecloser starts the AR 1-P DEAD TIME timer for the first shot if the
autoreclose is single-phase initiated, the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 1 timer if the autoreclose is three-phase initiated, and the AR
3-P DEAD TIME 2 timer if the autoreclose is three-phase time delay initiated. If two shots are enabled, the second shot is
always three-phase and the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2 timer is started.
• MODE 2, 1 POLE: When in this mode the autorecloser starts the AR 1-P DEAD TIME for the first shot if the fault is single
phase. If the fault is three-phase the scheme goes to lockout without reclosing. If two shots are enabled, the second
shot is always three-phase and starts AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2.
5 • MODE 3, 3 POLE-A: When in this mode the autorecloser is initiated only for single phase faults, although the trip is
three pole. The autorecloser uses the "AR 3-P DEAD TIME 1" for the first shot if the fault is single phase. If the fault is
multi phase the scheme will go to Lockout without reclosing. If two shots are enabled, the second shot is always three-
phase and starts "AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2".
• MODE 4, 3 POLE-B: When in this mode the autorecloser is initiated for any type of fault and starts the AR 3-P DEAD
TIME 1 for the first shot. If the initiating signal is AR 3P TD INIT the scheme starts AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2 for the first shot. If
two shots are enabled, the second shot is always three-phase and starts AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2.
BASIC RECLOSING OPERATION:
Reclosing operation is determined primarily by the AR MODE and AR BKR SEQUENCE settings. The reclosing sequences are
started by the initiate inputs. A reclose initiate signal will send the scheme into the Reclose In Progress (RIP) state, assert-
ing the "AR RIP" operand. The scheme is latched into the RIP state and resets only when an "AR CLS BKR 1" (autoreclose
breaker 1) or "AR CLS BKR 2" (autoreclose breaker 2) operand is generated or the scheme goes to the Lockout state.
The dead time for the initial reclose operation will be determined by either the AR 1-P DEAD TIME, AR 3-P DEAD TIME 1, or AR
3-P DEAD TIME 2 setting, depending on the fault type and the mode selected. After the dead time interval the scheme will
assert the "AR CLOSE BKR 1" or "AR CLOSE BKR 2" operands, as determined by the sequence selected. These oper-
ands are latched until the breaker closes or the scheme goes to Reset or Lockout.
There are three initiate programs: single pole initiate, three pole initiate and three pole, time delay initiate. Any of these
reclose initiate signals will start the reclose cycle and set the "Reclose in progress" (AR RIP) operand. The reclose in
progress operand is sealed-in until the Lockout or Reset signal appears.
The three-pole initiate and three-pole time delay initiate signals are latched until the "Close Bkr1 or Bkr2" or Lockout or
Reset signal appears.
AR PAUSE:
The pause input offers the possibility of freezing the autoreclose cycle until the pause signal disappears. This may be done
when a trip occurs and simultaneously or previously, some conditions are detected such as out-of step or loss of guard fre-
quency, or a remote transfer trip signal is received. The pause signal blocks all three dead timers. When the "pause" signal
disappears the autoreclose cycle is resumed by initiating the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2.

This feature can be also used when a transformer is tapped from the protected line and a reclose is not desirable until the
transformer is disconnected from the line. In this situation the reclose scheme will be "paused" until the transformer is dis-
connected.
The AR PAUSE input will force a three-pole trip through the 3-P DEADTIME 2 path.
EVOLVING FAULTS:
8 ms after the single pole dead time has been initiated, the "AR FORCE 3P TRIP" operand is set and it will be reset only
when the scheme is reset or goes to Lockout. This will ensure that when a fault on one phase evolves to include another
phase during the single pole dead time of the auto-recloser the scheme will force a 3 pole trip and reclose.
RECLOSING SCHEME OPERATION FOR ONE BREAKER:
• Permanent Fault: Consider mode No.1 which calls for 1-Pole or 3-Pole time delay No. 1 for the first reclosure and 3-
Pole time delay No. 2 for the second reclosure, and assume a permanent fault on the line. Also assume the scheme is
in the Reset state. For the first single-phase fault the AR 1-P DEAD TIME timer will be started, while for the first multi-
phase fault the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 1 timer will be started. If the AR 3P TD INIT signal is high, the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2 will be
started for the first shot.
If AR MAX NO OF SHOTS is set to "1", upon the first reclose the shot counter is set to 1. Upon reclosing, the fault is again
detected by protection and reclose is initiated. The breaker is tripped three-pole through the "AR SHOT COUNT >0"
that will set the "AR FORCE 3P" operand. Because the shot counter has reached the maximum number of shots per-
mitted the scheme is sent to the Lockout state.
If AR MAX NO OF SHOTS is set to "2", upon the first reclose the shot counter is set to 1. Upon reclosing, the fault is again
detected by protection and reclose is initiated. The breaker is tripped three-pole through the "AR SHOT COUNT >0"
that will set the "AR FORCE 3P" operand. After the second reclose the shot counter is set to 2. Upon reclosing, the
fault is again detected by protection, the breaker is tripped three-pole, and reclose is initiated again. Because the shot
counter has reached the maximum number of shots permitted the scheme is sent to the lockout state.
• Transient Fault: When a reclose output signal is sent to close the breaker the reset timer is started. If the reclosure
5
sequence is successful (there is no initiating signal and the breaker is closed) the reset timer will time out returning the
scheme to the reset state with the shot counter set to "0" making it ready for a new reclose cycle.
RECLOSING SCHEME OPERATION FOR TWO BREAKERS:
• Permanent Fault: The general method of operation is the same as that outlined for the one breaker applications
except for the following description, which assumes AR BKR SEQUENCE is set to "1-2" (reclose breaker 1 before breaker
2.) The signal output from the dead time timers passes through the breaker selection logic to initiate reclosing of
Breaker 1. The close breaker 1 signal will initiate the Transfer Timer. After the reclose of the first breaker the fault is
again detected by the protection, the breaker is tripped three pole and the autoreclose scheme is initiated. The Initiate
signal will stop the transfer timer. After the 3-P dead time times out the close breaker 1 signal will close first breaker
again and will start the transfer timer. Since the fault is permanent the protection will trip again initiating the autoreclose
scheme that will be sent to Lockout by the "Shot Count = Max" signal.
• Transient Fault: When the first reclose output signal is sent to close breaker 1, the reset timer is started. The close
breaker 1 signal initiates the transfer timer that times out and sends the close signal to the second breaker. If the reclo-
sure sequence is successful (both breakers are closed and there is no initiating signal) the reset timer will time out,
returning the scheme to the reset state with the shot counter set to 0. The scheme will be ready for a new reclose
cycle.
AR BKR1(2) RECLS FAIL:
If the selected sequence is "1–2" or "2–1" and after the first or second reclose attempt the breaker fails to close, there are
two options. If the AR BKR 1(2) FAIL OPTION is set to "Lockout", the scheme will go to lockout state. If the AR BKR 1(2) FAIL
OPTION is set to "Continue", the reclose process will continue with Breaker No. 2. At the same time the shot counter will be
decreased (since the closing process was not completed).
SCHEME RESET AFTER RECLOSURE:
When a reclose output signal is sent to close either breaker 1 or 2 the reset timer is started. If the reclosure sequence is
successful (there is no initiating signal and the breakers are closed) the reset timer will time out, returning the scheme to
the reset state, with the shot counter set to 0, making it ready for a new reclose cycle.

5.6 CONTROL ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

In two breaker schemes, if one breaker is in the OUT OF SERVICE state and the other is closed at the end of the reset
time, the scheme will also reset. If at the end of the reset time at least one breaker, which is not in the OUT OF SERVICE
state, is open the scheme will be sent to Lockout.
The reset timer will be stopped if the reclosure sequence is not successful: an initiating signal is present or the scheme is in
the Lockout state. The reset timer will also be stopped if the breaker is manually closed or the scheme is otherwise reset
from lockout.
LOCKOUT:
When a reclose sequence is started by an initiate signal the scheme moves into the Reclose In Progress state and starts
the Incomplete Sequence Timer. The setting of this timer determines the maximum time interval allowed for a single reclose
shot. If a close breaker 1 or 2 signal is not present before this time expires, the scheme goes to "Lockout".
There are four other conditions that can take the scheme to the Lockout state, as shown below:
• Receipt of "Block" input while in the Reclose in Progress state
• The reclosing program logic: when a 3P Initiate is present and the autoreclose mode is either 1 Pole or 3Pole-A (3 pole
autoreclose for single pole faults only)
• Initiation of the scheme when the count is at the maximum allowed
• If at the end of the reset time at least one breaker, which is not in the OUT OF SERVICE state, is open the scheme will
be sent to Lockout. The scheme will be also sent to Lockout if one breaker fails to reclose and the setting AR BKR FAIL
OPTION is set to "Lockout".

Once the Lockout state is set it will be latched in until the scheme is intentionally reset from Lockout or a breaker is manu-
ally closed.
BREAKER OPEN BEFORE FAULT:
5 A logic circuit is provided that inhibits the close breaker 1(2) output if a reclose initiate (RIP) indicator is not present within
30 ms of the "Breaker any phase open" input. This feature is intended to prevent reclosing if one of the breakers was open
in advance of a reclose initiate input to the recloser. This logic circuit resets when the breaker is closed.
TRANSFER RECLOSE WHEN BREAKER IS BLOCKED:
1. When the reclosing sequence 1-2 is selected and breaker No. 1 is blocked (AR BKR1 BLK operand is set) the reclose
signal can be transferred direct to the breaker No. 2 if AR TRANSFER 1 TO 2 is set to "Yes". If set to "No", the scheme will
be sent to LOCKOUT by the incomplete sequence timer.
2. When the reclosing sequence 2-1 is selected and breaker No. 2 is blocked (AR BKR2 BLK operand is set) the reclose
signal can be transferred direct to the breaker No.1 if AR TRANSFER 2 TO 1 is set to "YES". If set to "NO" the scheme will
be sent to LOCKOUT by the incomplete sequence timer.
FORCE 3-POLE TRIPPING:
The reclosing scheme contains logic that is used to signal trip logic that three-pole tripping is required for certain conditions.
This signal is activated by any of the following:
• Autoreclose scheme is Disabled.
• Autoreclose scheme is in the Lockout state.
• Autoreclose mode is programmed for three-pole operation
• The shot counter is not at 0, i.e. the scheme is not in the Reset state. This ensures a second trip will be three-pole
when reclosing onto a permanent single phase fault.
• 8 ms after the single-pole reclose is initiated by the AR 1P INIT signal.
ZONE 1 EXTENT:
"Extended Zone 1" is 0 when the AR is in LO or Disabled and 1 when the AR is in Reset.
1. When "Extended Zone 1" is 0, the distance functions shall be set to normal underreach Zone 1 setting.
2. When "Extended Zone 1" is 1, the distance functions may be set to Extended Zone 1 Reach, which is an overreaching
setting.
3. During a reclose cycle, "Extended Zone 1" goes to 0 as soon as the first CLOSE BREAKER signal is issued (AR SHOT
COUNT > 0) and remains 0 until the recloser goes back to Reset.

b) USE OF SETTINGS
AR MODE: This setting selects the AR operating mode, which functions in conjunction with signals received at the initiation
inputs as described previously.
AR MAX NUMBER OF SHOTS: This setting specifies the number of reclosures that can be attempted before reclosure
goes to Lockout when the fault is permanent.
AR BLOCK BKR1: This input selects an operand that will block the reclose command for breaker No.1. This condition can
be for example: breaker low air pressure, reclose in progress on another line (for the central breaker in a breaker and a half
arrangement), or a sum of conditions combined in FlexLogic™.
AR CLOSE TIME BKR1:This setting represents the closing time for the breaker No. 1 from the moment the "Close" com-
mand is sent to the moment the contacts are closed.
AR BKR MAN CLOSE: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand that represents manual close command to a breaker
associated with the autoreclose scheme
AR BLK TIME UPON MAN CLS: The autoreclose scheme can be disabled for a programmable time delay after an associ-
ated circuit breaker is manually commanded to close, preventing reclosing onto an existing fault such as grounds on the
line. This delay must be longer than the slowest expected trip from any protection not blocked after manual closing. If the
autoreclose scheme is not initiated after a manual close and this time expires the autoreclose scheme is set to the Reset
state.
AR 1P INIT: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand that is intended to initiate single Pole autoreclosure.
AR 3P INIT: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand that is intended to initiate three Pole autoreclosure, first timer (AR
3P DEAD TIME 1) that can be used for a high-speed autoreclosure.
AR 3P TD INIT: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand that is intended to initiate three Pole autoreclosure, second
timer (AR 3P DEAD TIME 2) that can be used for a time-delay autoreclosure.
AR MULTI-P FAULT: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand that indicates a multi-phase fault. The operand value
5
should be zero for single-phase to ground faults.
BKR ONE POLE OPEN: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand which indicates that the breaker(s) has opened cor-
rectly following a single phase to ground fault and the autoreclose scheme can start timing the single pole dead time (for 1-
2 reclose sequence for example, breaker No. 1 should trip single pole and breaker No. 2 should trip 3 pole).
The scheme has a pre-wired input that indicates breaker(s) status.
BKR 3 POLE OPEN: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand which indicates that the breaker(s) has opened three pole
and the autoreclose scheme can start timing the three pole dead time.
The scheme has a pre-wired input that indicates breaker(s) status.
AR 3-P DEAD TIME 1: This is the dead time following the first three pole trip. This intentional delay can be used for a high-
speed three-pole autoreclose. However, it should be set longer than the estimated de-ionizing time following the three-pole
trip.
AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2: This is the dead time following the second three-pole trip or initiated by the AR 3P TD INIT input.
This intentional delay is typically used for a time delayed three-pole autoreclose (as opposed to high speed three-pole
autoreclose).
AR EXTEND DEAD T 1: This setting selects an operand that will adapt the duration of the dead time for the first shot to the
possibility of non-simultaneous tripping at the two line ends. Typically this is the operand set when the communication
channel is out of service
AR DEAD TIME 1 EXTENSION: This timer is used to set the length of the dead time 1 extension for possible non-simulta-
neous tripping of the two ends of the line.
AR RESET: This setting selects the operand that forces the autoreclose scheme from any state to Reset. Typically this is a
manual reset from lockout, local or remote.
AR RESET TIME: A reset timer output resets the recloser following a successful reclosure sequence. The setting is based
on the breaker time which is the minimum time required between successive reclose sequences.
AR BKR CLOSED: This setting selects an operand that indicates that the breaker(s) are closed at the end of the reset time
and the scheme can reset.

5.6 CONTROL ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

AR BLOCK: This setting selects the operand that blocks the Autoreclose scheme (it can be a sum of conditions such as:
Time Delayed Tripping, Breaker Failure, Bus Differential Protection, etc.). If the block signal is present before autoreclose
scheme initiation the AR DISABLED FlexLogic™ operand will be set. If the block signal occurs when the scheme is in the
RIP state the scheme will be sent to Lockout.
AR PAUSE: The pause input offers the ability to freeze the autoreclose cycle until the pause signal disappears. This may
be done when a trip occurs and simultaneously or previously, some conditions are detected such as out-of step or loss of
guard frequency, or a remote transfer trip signal is received. When the "pause" signal disappears the autoreclose cycle is
resumed. This feature can also be used when a transformer is tapped from the protected line and a reclose is not desirable
until the it is disconnected from the line. In this situation, the reclose scheme is "paused" until the transformer is discon-
nected.
AR INCOMPLETE SEQ TIME: This timer is used to set the maximum time interval allowed for a single reclose shot. It is
started whenever a reclosure is initiated and is active until the CLOSE BKR1 or BKR2 signal is sent. If all conditions allow-
ing a breaker closure are not satisfied when this time expires, the scheme goes to "Lockout". The minimum permissible set-
ting is established by the "3-P Dead Time 2" timer setting. Settings beyond this will determine the "wait" time for the breaker
to open so that the reclose cycle can continue and/or for the AR PAUSE signal to reset and allow the reclose cycle to con-
tinue and/or for the AR BKR1(2) BLK signal to disappear and allow the AR CLOSE BKR1(2) signal to be sent.
AR BLOCK BKR2: This input selects an operand that will block the reclose command for breaker No.2. This condition can
be for example: breaker low air pressure, reclose in progress on another line (for the central breaker in a breaker and a half
arrangement), or a sum of conditions combined in FlexLogic™.
AR BKR2 MNL CLOSE: This setting selects an operand asserted when breaker No. 2 is manually commanded to close.
AR CLOSE TIME BKR2: This setting represents the closing time for the breaker No. 2 from the moment the "Close" com-
mand is sent to the moment the contacts are closed.
AR TRANSFER 1 TO 2: This setting establishes how the scheme performs when the breaker closing sequence is 1-2 and
5 breaker No. 1 is blocked. When set to "YES" the closing command will be transferred direct to breaker No. 2 without waiting
the transfer time. When set to "NO" the closing command will be blocked by the AR BKR1 BLK signal and the scheme will
be sent to LOCKOUT by the incomplete sequence timer.
AR TRANSFER 2 TO 1: This setting establishes how the scheme performs when the breaker closing sequence is 2-1 and
breaker No. 2 is blocked. When set to "YES" the closing command will be transferred direct to breaker No. 1 without waiting
the transfer time. When set to "NO" the closing command will be blocked by the AR BKR2 BLK signal and the scheme will
be sent to LOCKOUT by the incomplete sequence timer.
AR BKR1 FAIL OPTION: This setting establishes how the scheme performs when the breaker closing sequence is 1-2 and
breaker No. 1 has failed to close. When set to "Continue" the closing command will be transferred to breaker No. 2 which
will continue the reclosing cycle until successful (the scheme will reset) or unsuccessful (the scheme will go to Lockout).
When set to "Lockout" the scheme will go to lockout without attempting to reclose breaker No. 2.
AR BKR2 FAIL OPTION: This setting establishes how the scheme performs when the breaker closing sequence is 2-1 and
breaker No. 2 has failed to close. When set to "Continue" the closing command will be transferred to breaker No. 1 which
will continue the reclosing cycle until successful (the scheme will reset) or unsuccessful (the scheme will go to Lockout).
When set to "Lockout" the scheme will go to lockout without attempting to reclose breaker No. 1.
AR 1-P DEAD TIME: Set this intentional delay longer than the estimated de-ionizing time following the first single-pole trip.
AR BREAKER SEQUENCE: This setting selects the breakers reclose sequence:
1 = reclose breaker 1 only
2 = reclose breaker 2 only
1&2 = reclose both breakers simultaneously
1-2 = reclose breakers sequentially; breaker No. 1 first
2-1 = reclose breakers sequentially; breaker No. 2 first
AR TRANSFER TIME: The transfer time is used only for breaker closing sequence 1-2 or 2-1, when the two breakers are
reclosed sequentially. The transfer timer is initiated by a close signal to the first breaker. The transfer timer transfers the
reclose signal from the breaker selected to close first to the second breaker. The time delay setting is based on the maxi-
mum time interval between the autoreclose signal and the protection trip contact closure assuming a permanent fault
(unsuccessful reclose). Therefore, the minimum setting is equal to the maximum breaker closing time plus the maximum
line protection operating time plus a suitable margin. This setting will prevent the autoreclose scheme from transferring the
close signal to the second breaker unless a successful reclose of the first breaker occurs.

a) CIRCUIT MONITORING APPLICATIONS


Some versions of the digital input modules include an active Voltage Monitor circuit connected across Form-A contacts.
The Voltage Monitor circuit limits the trickle current through the output circuit (see Technical Specifications for Form-A).
As long as the current through the Voltage Monitor is above a threshold (see Technical Specifications for Form-A), the Flex-
Logic™ operand "Cont Op # VOn" will be set. (# represents the output contact number). If the output circuit has a high
resistance or the DC current is interrupted, the trickle current will drop below the threshold and the FlexLogic™ operand
"Cont Op # VOff" will be set. Consequently, the state of these operands can be used as indicators of the integrity of the cir-
cuits in which Form-A contacts are inserted.

b) BREAKER TRIP CIRCUIT INTEGRITY MONITORING – EXAMPLE 1


In many applications it is desired to monitor the breaker trip circuit integrity so problems can be detected before a trip oper-
ation is required. The circuit is considered to be healthy when the Voltage Monitor connected across the trip output contact
detects a low level of current, well below the operating current of the breaker trip coil. If the circuit presents a high resis-
tance, the trickle current will fall below the monitor threshold and an alarm would be declared.
In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact which is open when the
breaker is open (see diagram below). To prevent unwanted alarms in this situation, the trip circuit monitoring logic must
include the breaker position.

If it is required to monitor the trip circuit continuously, independent of the breaker position (open or closed), a method to
maintain the monitoring current flow through the trip circuit when the breaker is open must be provided (as shown in Figure:

There are 8 identical digital counters, numbered from 1 to 8. A digital counter counts the number of state transitions from
Logic 0 to Logic 1. The counter is used to count operations such as the pickups of an element, the changes of state of an
external contact (e.g. breaker auxiliary switch), or pulses from a watt-hour meter.
COUNTER 1 UNITS:
Assigns a label to identify the unit of measure pertaining to the digital transitions to be counted. The units label will appear
in the corresponding Actual Values status.
COUNTER 1 PRESET:
Sets the count to a required preset value before counting operations begin, as in the case where a substitute relay is to be
installed in place of an in-service relay, or while the counter is running.
COUNTER 1 COMPARE:
Sets the value to which the accumulated count value is compared. Three FlexLogic™ output operands are provided to indi-

There are 2 identical Breaker Arcing Current features available for Breakers 1 and 2. This element calculates an estimate
of the per-phase wear on the breaker contacts by measuring and integrating the current squared passing through the
breaker contacts as an arc. These per-phase values are added to accumulated totals for each phase and compared to a
programmed threshold value. When the threshold is exceeded in any phase, the relay can set an output operand to "1".
The accumulated value for each phase can be displayed as an actual value.
The operation of the scheme is shown in the following logic diagram. The same output operand that is selected to operate
the output relay used to trip the breaker, indicating a tripping sequence has begun, is used to initiate this feature. A time
delay is introduced between initiation and the starting of integration to prevent integration of current flow through the
breaker before the contacts have parted. This interval includes the operating time of the output relay, any other auxiliary
relays and the breaker mechanism. For maximum measurement accuracy, the interval between change-of-state of the
operand (from 0 to 1) and contact separation should be measured for the specific installation. Integration of the measured
current continues for 100 milliseconds, which is expected to include the total arcing period.
BKR 1 ARC AMP INIT:
Selects the same output operand that is selected to operate the output relay used to trip the breaker.
BKR 1 ARC AMP DELAY:
This setting is used to program the delay interval between the time the tripping sequence is initiated and the time the
breaker contacts are expected to part, starting the integration of the measured current.

Every signal source includes a fuse failure scheme.


The VT fuse failure detector can be used to raise an alarm and/or block elements that may operate incorrectly for a full or
partial loss of AC potential caused by one or more blown fuses. Some elements that might be blocked (via the BLOCK
input) are distance, voltage restrained overcurrent, and directional current.
There are two classes of fuse failure that may occur: (A) loss of one or two phases, and (B) loss of all three phases. A dif-
ferent means of detection is required for each class. An indication of class A failures is a significant level of negative
sequence voltage, whereas an indication of class B failures is when positive sequence current is present and there is an
insignificant amount of positive sequence voltage. These noted indications of fuse failure could also be present when faults
are present on the system, so a means of detecting faults and inhibiting fuse failure declarations during these events is pro-
vided. Once the fuse failure condition is declared, it will be sealed-in until the cause that generated it disappears.
An additional condition is introduced to inhibit a fuse failure declaration when the monitored circuit is de-energized; positive
sequence voltage and current are both below threshold levels.
The common FUNCTION setting will Enable/Disable the fuse failure feature for all 6 sources.

The open pole detector is intended to identify an open pole of the line circuit breaker. The scheme monitors the breakers
auxiliary contacts, current in the circuit and optionally voltage on the line. The scheme generates output operands used to
block the phase selector and some specific protection elements, thus preventing maloperation during the dead time of a
single pole autoreclose cycle. The scheme declares an open pole at the moment a single-pole trip is issued.
In two breaker and breaker and a half applications, an open pole condition is declared when:
• both breakers have an open pole on the same phase or
• the current on the line drops below a threshold or
5
• the current and voltage on the line drop below a threshold.
The OPEN POLE logic becomes operational only when a TRIP 1-POLE command is issued and resets 150 ms (time for
breaker to close) after the AR 1-P RIP operand resets. The intention is for the OPEN POLE logic to operate only when an
open pole condition occurs following a single pole trip during a single phase fault. An open pole condition should not be
declared, and protections and the phase selector blocked, when a pole is accidentally open (without a trip command) or for
a remote end open (single or three phase).
The Open Pole feature uses signals defined by the SOURCE setting under the Common Distance Settings.
Voltage supervision can be used only with wye VTs on the line side of the breaker(s).
The OPEN POLE CURRENT PICKUP setting establishes the current threshold below which an open pole is declared.
For convenience, the position of the breaker poles defined in the Breaker Control feature and available as FlexLogic™
operand BREAKER 1/2 ΦA CLSD through BREAKER 1/2 ΦC CLSD and BREAKER 1/2 OOS are used by the Open Pole
feature. For correct operation of the Open Pole Detector, the Breaker Control, Trip Output, and Single Pole Autoreclose
features must be enabled and configured properly. When used in configuration with only one breaker, the BREAKER 2 FUNC-
TION should be "Enabled" and the BREAKER 2 OUT OF SV setting should be "On" (see the BREAKER CONTROL section for
additional details).

This scheme uses an under-reaching Zone 1 distance element to key a transfer trip signal(s) to the remote end(s), where
on receipt, the DUTT pilot scheme operates without additional protection supervision. For proper operation of the scheme
the Zone 1 phase and ground distance elements must be enabled, configured, and set per rules of distance relaying.
In single-pole tripping applications, the scheme uses local fault type identification provided by the PHASE SELECTOR
together with information received from the remote terminal(s). The latter may be coded into one, two or four bits over the
communications channel.
The scheme generates output operands (DUTT TX1 through DUTT TX4) that are used to transmit the direct under-reach-
ing signals to the remote end(s). Choices of communications channel include Remote Inputs/Outputs and telecommunica-
tions interfaces. When used with telecommunications facilities the output operands should be assigned to operate output
contacts connected to assert the individual bits at the interface.

GE Power Management D60 Line Distance Relay 5-149


5.6 CONTROL ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

To make the scheme a fully operational stand-alone feature, the scheme output operands must be configured to interface
with other relay functions, output contacts in particular. Typically, the output operands should be programmed to initiate a
trip, breaker fail, and autoreclose, and drive a user-programmable LED as per user application. When used in conjunction
with the Trip Output, the scheme is pre-configured to initiate trip, breaker fail, and single-pole autoreclose actions.
DUTT SEAL-IN DELAY:
The output FlexLogic™ operand (DUTT OP) is produced according to the DUTT scheme logic. A seal-in time delay is
applied to this operand for coping with noisy communication channels such as a Power Line Carrier. The DUTT SEAL-IN
DELAY is a minimum guaranteed duration of the DUTT OP pulse. As this operand activates the Trip Table of the DUTT
scheme, the trip operands DUTT TRIP A, B, C and 3P are sealed-in for the same period of time.
DUTT NO OF COMM BITS:
This setting specifies the number of bits available on the communications channel. With only one bit available, the scheme
sends the direct under-reaching transfer trip command on bit no.1 (DUTT TX1 operand) and responds to the direct trip
command received on bit no. 1 (DUTT RX1 setting). The scheme uses only local fault type identification provided by the
PHASE SELECTOR to assert the Output Operands DUTT TRIP A, B, C and 3P (see the THEORY OF OPERATION chap-
ter for details on the use of communication channels.)
DUTT RX1 through DUTT RX4:
These settings allow the user to select the FlexLogic™ operands that represent the receive signals for the scheme. Typi-
cally input contacts interfacing with a signaling system are used.
The DUTT scheme requires a secure and dependable signaling system. For this reason, a series/parallel combination of
receive signal "contacts" is often used. This is accomplished by using a multi-bit communications system to transmit redun-
dant copies of the TX signal (often via different paths) and building appropriate security logic (such as series (AND gate) or
2-out-of-3 voting logic) with FlexLogic™. The DUTT RX settings should be associated with the final (secure) TX signals.

5 In single-bit applications, DUTT RX1 must be used. In two-bit applications, DUTT RX1 and DUTT RX2 must be used. In four-bit
applications, DUTT RX1, DUTT RX2, DUTT RX3, and DUTT RX4 must be used. In multi-terminal applications, the RX signals from
two or more remote terminals should be connected through OR gates in the FlexLogic™ and the resulting signals should
be configured as the DUTT RX inputs.

PUTT RX PICKUP DELAY:
This setting enables the relay to cope with spurious receive signals. This delay should be set longer than the longest spuri-
ous TX signal that can be received simultaneously with the zone 1 pickup. The selected delay will increase the response
time of the scheme.
PUTT SEAL-IN DELAY:
The output FlexLogic™ operand (PUTT OP) is produced according to the PUTT scheme logic. A seal-in time delay is
applied to this operand for coping with noisy communication channels such as a Power Line Carrier. The PUTT SEAL-IN
DELAY is a minimum guaranteed duration of the PUTT OP pulse. As this operand activates the Trip Table of the PUTT
scheme, the trip operands PUTT TRIP A, B, C and 3P are sealed-in for the same period of time.
PUTT NO OF COMM BITS:
This setting specifies the number of bits of the communications channel available for the scheme. The transmit codes and
trip table of the PUTT scheme are identical as those for the direct under-reaching transfer trip scheme. Please refer to the

This scheme is intended for two-terminal line applications only. The scheme uses an over-reaching Zone 2 distance ele-
ment to essentially compare the direction to a fault at both terminals of the line.
Ground directional overcurrent functions available in the relay can be used in conjunction with the Zone 2 distance element
to key the scheme and initiate its operation. This provides increased coverage for high-resistance faults.
For proper operation, the Zone 2 phase and ground distance elements must be enabled, configured and set per rules of
distance relaying. The Line Pickup element should be enabled, configured and set properly to detect line-end-open/weak-
infeed conditions. If used by this scheme, the selected ground directional overcurrent function(s) must be enabled, config-
ured and set accordingly.

In single-pole tripping applications, the scheme uses local fault type identification provided by the Phase Selector together
with information received from the remote terminal. The scheme generates output operands (POTT TX1 through POTT
TX4) that are used to transmit the signal to the remote end. Choices of communications channel include Remote Inputs/
Outputs and telecommunications interfaces. When used with telecommunications facilities the output operands should be
assigned to operate output contacts connected to assert the individual bits at the interface.
To make the scheme fully operational as a stand-alone feature, the scheme output operands must be configured to inter-
face with other relay functions, output contacts in particular. Typically, the output operands should be programmed to ini-
tiate a trip, breaker fail, and autoreclose, and drive a user-programmable LED as per user application.
When used in conjunction with the Trip Output element, the scheme is pre-configured to initiate trip, breaker fail, and single-
pole autoreclose actions.
POTT PERMISSIVE ECHO:
If set to "Enabled" this setting will result in sending a permissive echo signal(s) to the remote end under certain conditions.
(See the THEORY OF OPERATION chapter.) The echo is sent only once and then the echo logic locks out for the time
specified by the ECHO LOCKOUT setting. The duration of the echo pulse is settable as ECHO DURATION.
The echo is sent back only if none of the overreaching protection elements operates.
POTT RX PICKUP DELAY:
This setting enables the relay to cope with spurious receive signals. The delay should be set longer than the longest spuri-
ous TX signal that can be received simultaneously with the Zone 2 pickup. The selected delay will increase the response
time of the scheme.
TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY:
This setting defines a transient blocking mechanism embedded in the POTT scheme for coping with the exposure of a
ground directional overcurrent function (if used) to current reversal conditions. The transient blocking mechanism applies to
5 the ground overcurrent path only as the reach settings for the Zone 2 distance functions is not expected to be long for two-
terminal applications, and the security of the distance functions is not endangered by the current reversal conditions.
Upon receiving the POTT RX signal, the transient blocking mechanism allows the RX signal to be passed and aligned with
the GND DIR O/C FWD indication only for a period of time defined as TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY. After that the ground direc-
tional overcurrent path will be virtually disabled for a period of time specified as TRANS BLOCK RESET DELAY.
The TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY should be long enough to give the selected ground directional overcurrent function time to
operate, but not longer than the fastest possible operation time of the protection system that can create current reversal
conditions within the reach of the selected ground directional overcurrent function.
This setting should take into account the POTT RX PICKUP DELAY. The POTT RX signal is shaped for aligning with the ground
directional indication as follows: the original RX signal is delayed by the POTT RX PICKUP DELAY, then terminated at TRANS
BLOCK PICKUP DELAY after the pickup of the original POTT TX signal, and eventually locked-out for TRANS BLOCK RESET
DELAY.

TRANS BLOCK RESET DELAY:


This setting defines a transient blocking mechanism embedded in the POTT scheme for coping with the exposure of a
ground directional overcurrent function (if used) to current reversal conditions (see the TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY).
This delay should be selected long enough to cope with transient conditions including not only current reversals but also
spurious negative- and zero-sequence currents occurring during breaker operations. The breaker failure time of the sur-
rounding protection systems within the reach of the ground directional function used by the POTT scheme may be consid-
ered to make sure that the ground directional function is not jeopardized during delayed breaker operations.
ECHO DURATION:
This setting defines the guaranteed and exact duration of the echo pulse. The duration does not depend on the duration
and shape of the received RX signal. This setting enables the relay to avoid a permanent lock-up of the transmit/receive
loop.
ECHO LOCKOUT:
This setting defines the lockout period for the echo logic after sending the echo pulse.

LINE END OPEN PICKUP DELAY:


This setting defines the pickup setting for validation of the line end open conditions as detected by the Line Pickup logic
through the LINE PICKUP LEO PKP FlexLogic™ operand. The validated line end open condition is a requirement for the
POTT scheme to return a received echo signal (if the ECHO feature is enabled). The value of this setting should take into
account the principle of operation and settings of the Line Pickup element.
POTT SEAL-IN DELAY:
The output FlexLogic™ operand (POTT OP) is produced according to the POTT scheme logic. A seal-in time delay is
applied to this operand for coping with noisy communication channels. The POTT SEAL-IN DELAY defines a minimum guaran-
teed duration of the POTT OP pulse. As this operand activates the Trip Table of the POTT scheme, the trip operands POTT
TRIP A, B, C and 3P are sealed-in for the same period of time.
GND DIR O/C FWD:
This setting defines the FlexLogic™ operand (if any) of a protection element that is used in addition to the Zone 2 for iden-
tifying faults on the protected line, and thus, for keying the communication channel and initiating operation of the scheme.
Good directional integrity is the key requirement for an over-reaching forward-looking protection element used as GND DIR
O/C FWD. Even though any FlexLogic™ operand could be used as GND DIR O/C FWD allowing the user to combine responses
of various protection elements, or to apply extra conditions through FlexLogic™ equations, this extra signal is primarily
meant to be the output operand from either the Negative-Sequence Directional IOC or Neutral Directional IOC. Both of
these elements have separate forward (FWD) and reverse (REV) output operands. The forward indication should be used
(NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD or NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD).
POTT NO OF COMM BITS:
This setting specifies the number of bits of the communications channel available for the scheme. The transmit codes and
Trip Tables of the POTT scheme are the same as those for the permissive under-reaching transfer trip scheme. Please
refer to the description of the PUTT scheme for more information. 5
POTT RX1 through POTT RX4:
These settings allow the user to select the FlexLogic™ operands that represent the receive signals for the scheme. Typi-

Generally, this scheme uses an overreaching Zone 2 distance element to essentially compare the direction to a fault at all
terminals of the line. Ground directional overcurrent functions available in the D60 can be used in conjunction with the Zone
2 distance element to key the scheme and initiate operation. This increases the coverage for high-resistance faults.
The scheme is intended for three-terminal applications and for weak-infeed conditions. As a long reach of the overreaching
distance element may be required for three-terminal applications, transient blocking logic is provided for both distance and
ground directional overcurrent elements. In order to cope with weak-infeed conditions an echo feature is made available.
By default the scheme uses the reverse-looking Zone 4 distance element to identify reverse faults. Additionally, reverse-
looking ground directional overcurrent functions can be used in conjunction with the Zone 4.

GE Power Management D60 Line Distance Relay 5-157


5.6 CONTROL ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

For proper operation, the Zone 2 and 4 phase and ground distance elements must be enabled, configured and set per rules
of distance relaying. The Line Pickup element should be enabled, configured and set properly to detect line-end-open/
weak-infeed and undervoltage conditions. If used by the scheme, the selected ground directional overcurrent function(s)
must be enabled, configured, and set accordingly.
In single-pole tripping applications, the scheme uses local fault type identification provided by the Phase Selector together
with information received from the remote terminal. The scheme generates output operands (HYBRID POTT TX1 through
HYBRID POTT TX4) that are used to transmit the signal to the remote terminal(s). Choices of communications channel
include Remote Inputs/Outputs and telecommunications interfaces. When used with telecommunications facilities the out-
put operand should be assigned to operate an output contact connected to key the transmitter at the interface. When used
with telecommunications facilities the output operands should be assigned to operate output contacts connected to assert
the individual bits at the interface.
To make the scheme fully operational as a stand-alone feature, the scheme output operands must be configured to inter-
face with other relay functions, output contacts in particular. Typically, the output operands should be programmed to ini-
tiate a trip, breaker fail, and autoreclose, and drive a user-programmable LED as per user application.
When used in conjunction with the Trip Output element, the scheme is pre-configured to initiate trip, breaker fail and single-
pole autoreclose actions.
HYB POTT PERMISSIVE ECHO:
If set to "Enabled" this setting will result in sending a permissive echo signal to the remote end(s) under certain conditions.
(See the THEORY OF OPERATION chapter). The echo is sent only once and then the echo logic locks out for the time
specified by the ECHO LOCKOUT. The duration of the echo pulse is settable as ECHO DURATION.
The echo is sent back only if none of the overreaching protection elements operates.
HYB POTT RX PICKUP DELAY:

5 This setting enables the relay to cope with spurious received signals. The delay should be set longer than the longest spu-
rious TX signal that can be received simultaneously with the Zone 2 pickup. The selected delay will increase the response
time of the scheme.
TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY:
This setting defines a transient blocking mechanism embedded in the Hybrid POTT scheme for coping with the exposure of
both the over-reaching Zone 2 and ground directional overcurrent function to current reversal conditions.
The transient blocking logic applies to both operate (trip) and send (transmit) paths. Identifying the fault as a reverse fault
prevents the scheme from both operating and keying the channel. If the reverse fault condition prevails for TRANS BLOCK
PICKUP DELAY, the blocking operation will be extended by the transient blocking timer for TRANS BLOCK RESET DELAY. This
allows riding through current reversal conditions.
The TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY should not be longer than the fastest possible trip time for faults on an adjacent line so
that extended blocking action could be established. This should take into account the pickup time of the reverse-looking
elements of the scheme.
The delay defined by this setting should not be too short in order to avoid locking up a spurious reverse fault indication that
can occur during internal fault conditions.
TRANS BLOCK RESET DELAY:
This setting defines a transient blocking mechanism embedded in the Hybrid POTT scheme for coping with the exposure of
the overreaching protection functions to current reversal conditions (see also the TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY).
This delay should be selected long enough to cope with transient conditions including not only current reversals but also
spurious negative- and zero-sequence currents occurring during breaker operations (in the case when Neutral Directional
or Negative-Sequence Directional overcurrent functions are used). The breaker failure time of the surrounding protection
systems within the reach of the ground directional function used by the Hybrid POTT scheme should be considered to
make sure that the ground directional function is not jeopardized during delayed breaker operations.
ECHO DURATION:
This setting defines the guaranteed and exact duration of the echo pulse. The duration does not depend on the duration
and shape of the received RX signals. This setting enables the relay to avoid a permanent lock-up of the transmit/receive

Generally, the scheme compares the direction to a fault at all terminals of the line. Unlike the permissive schemes, the
absence of a blocking signal permits operation of the scheme. Consequently, the scheme is biased toward dependability
and requires an "on/off" type of signaling.
By default this scheme uses only a forward-looking over-reaching Zone 2 distance element to identify forward faults.
Ground directional overcurrent functions available in the relay can be used in conjunction with the Zone 2 distance element
to increase the coverage for high-resistance faults. Also by default, only a reverse-looking Zone 4 distance element to iden-
tify reverse faults. Ground directional overcurrent functions available in the relay can be used in conjunction with the Zone
4 distance element for better time and sensitivity coordination.
For proper operation, the Zone 2 and 4 phase and ground distance elements must be enabled, configured and set per rules
of distance relaying. If used by this scheme, the selected ground directional overcurrent function(s) must be enabled, con-
figured and set accordingly.
In single-pole tripping applications, the scheme uses local fault type identification provided by the Phase Selector together
with information received from the remote terminal.
The scheme generates output operands (DIR BLOCK TX INIT and DIR BLOCK TX1 STOP through DIR BLOCK TX4
STOP) that control the transmission of signals to the remote end(s). When used with telecommunications facilities the out-
put operands should be assigned to operate output contacts connected to key the transmitter at the interface.
The output operand from the scheme (DIR BLOCK A, B, C and 3P) must be configured to interface with other relay func-
tions, output contacts in particular, in order to make the scheme fully operational. Typically, the output operand should be
programmed to initiate a trip, breaker fail, and autoreclose, and drive a user-programmable LED as per user application.

BLOCK RX CO-ORD PKP DELAY:
This setting defines a delay for the forward-looking protection elements used by the scheme for coordination with the block-

establish a blocking signal and the total transmission time of that signal including the relay communications equipment
interfacing and the communications channel itself.
TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY:
This setting defines a transient blocking mechanism embedded in the Blocking scheme for coping with the exposure of
both the over-reaching Zone 2 and ground directional overcurrent function to current reversal conditions.
The transient blocking logic applies to the send path only. Identifying the fault as a reverse fault establishes the blocking
signal. If the reverse fault condition prevails for TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY, the blocking operation will be extended by the
transient blocking timer for TRANS BLOCK RESET DELAY. This allows riding through current reversal conditions.
The TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY should not be longer than the fastest possible trip time for faults on an adjacent line so

This delay should be selected long enough to cope with transient conditions including not only current reversals but also

Negative Sequence Directional overcurrent functions are used). Breaker failure time of the surrounding protection systems
within the reach of the ground directional function used by the Blocking scheme should be considered to make sure that the
ground directional function is not jeopardized during delayed breaker operations.
BLOCK SCHEME SEAL-IN DELAY:
The output FlexLogic™ operand (DIR BLOCK OP) is produced according to the Blocking scheme logic. The BLOCK

BLOCK SCHEME NO OF COMM BITS:
This setting specifies the number of bits of the communications channel available for the scheme.
With only one bit available, the scheme sends the blocking signal by asserting the DIR BLOCK TX INIT FlexLogic™ oper-
and. This operand should be used to start the channel (set the blocking signal). On internal faults, the scheme removes the
blocking signal by asserting the DIR BLOCK TX1 FlexLogic™ operand.
For tripping the scheme responds to lack of the blocking signal on bit no. 1 (BLOCK SCHEME RX1 setting). The scheme uses
only local fault type identification provided by the Phase Selector to assert the Output Operands DUTT TRIP A, B, C and
3P. Please refer to the THEORY OF OPERATION chapter for more information on communications.
To take advantage of the four-bit blocking scheme, the blocking signals should be initiated from a disturbance detector. This
can be accomplished by using both 50DD and DIR BLOCK TX INIT to assert the blocking signal. Subsequently, specific
bits will be de-asserted by the scheme based on the phase selection providing the peer relay with more information on the
fault type. Otherwise, the peer relay issues a three-pole trip upon receiving the bit pattern (0,0,0,0).

The contact inputs menu contains configuration settings for each contact input as well as voltage thresholds for each group
of four contact inputs. Upon startup, the relay processor determines (from an assessment of the installed modules) which
contact inputs are available and then display settings for only those inputs.
An alphanumeric ID may be assigned to a contact input for diagnostic, setting, and event recording purposes. The "Contact
Ip X On" (Logic 1) FlexLogic™ operand corresponds to contact input "X" being closed, while "Contact Input X Off" corre-
sponds to contact input "X" being open. The CONTACT INPUT DEBNCE TIME defines the time required for the contact to over-
come ’contact bouncing’ conditions. As this time differs for different contact types and manufacturers, set it as a maximum
contact debounce time (per manufacturer specifications) plus some margin to ensure proper operation. If CONTACT INPUT
EVENTS is set to "Enabled", every change in the contact input state will trigger an event.

A raw status is scanned for all Contact Inputs synchronously at the constant rate of 0.5 ms as shown in the figure below.
The DC input voltage is compared to a user-settable threshold. A new contact input state must be maintained for a user-
settable debounce time in order for the D60 to validate the new contact state. In the figure below, the debounce time is set
at 2.5 ms; thus the 6th sample in a row validates the change of state (mark no.1 in the diagram). Once validated (de-
bounced), the contact input asserts a corresponding FlexLogic™ operand and logs an event as per user setting.
A time stamp of the first sample in the sequence that validates the new state is used when logging the change of the con-
tact input into the Event Recorder (mark no. 2 in the diagram).
Protection and control elements, as well as FlexLogic™ equations and timers, are executed eight times in a power system
cycle. The protection pass duration is controlled by the frequency tracking mechanism. The FlexLogic™ operand reflecting
the debounced state of the contact is updated at the protection pass following the validation (marks no. 3 and 4 on the fig-
ure below). The update is performed at the beginning of the protection pass so all protection and control functions, as well
as FlexLogic™ equations, are fed with the updated states of the contact inputs.

5.7 INPUTS / OUTPUTS 5 SETTINGS

The FlexLogic™ operand response time to the contact input change is equal to the debounce time setting plus up to one
protection pass (variable and depending on system frequency if frequency tracking enabled). If the change of state occurs
just after a protection pass, the recognition is delayed until the subsequent protection pass; that is, by the entire duration of
the protection pass. If the change occurs just prior to a protection pass, the state is recognized immediately. Statistically a
delay of half the protection pass is expected. Owing to the 0.5 ms scan rate, the time resolution for the input contact is
below 1msec.
For example, 8 protection passes per cycle on a 60 Hz system correspond to a protection pass every 2.1 ms. With a con-
tact debounce time setting of 3.0 ms, the FlexLogic™ operand-assert time limits are: 3.0 + 0.0 = 3.0 ms and 3.0 + 2.1 = 5.1
ms. These time limits depend on how soon the protection pass runs after the debouncing time.
Regardless of the contact debounce time setting, the contact input event is time-stamped with a 1 µs accuracy using the
time of the first scan corresponding to the new state (mark no. 2 below). Therefore, the time stamp reflects a change in the
DC voltage across the contact input terminals that was not accidental as it was subsequently validated using the debounce
timer. Keep in mind that the associated FlexLogic™ operand is asserted/de-asserted later, after validating the change.
The debounce algorithm is symmetrical: the same procedure and debounce time are used to filter the LOW-HIGH (marks
no.1, 2, 3, and 4 in the figure below) and HIGH-LOW (marks no.5, 6, 7, and 8 below) transitions.

Contact inputs are isolated in groups of four to allow connection of wet contacts from different voltage sources for each
group. The CONTACT INPUT THRESHOLDS determine the minimum voltage required to detect a closed contact input. This
value should be selected according to the following criteria: 16 for 24 V sources, 30 for 48 V sources, 80 for 110 to 125 V
sources and 140 for 250 V sources.
For example, to use contact input H5a as a status input from the breaker 52b contact to seal-in the trip relay and record it in
the Event Records menu, make the following settings changes:
CONTACT INPUT H5A ID: "Breaker Closed (52b)"
CONTACT INPUT H5A EVENTS: "Enabled"

Note that the 52b contact is closed when the breaker is open and open when the breaker is closed.

There are 32 virtual inputs that can be individually programmed to respond to input signals from the keypad (COMMANDS
menu) and non-UCA2 communications protocols only. All virtual input operands are defaulted to OFF = 0 unless the appro-
5
priate input signal is received. Virtual input states are preserved through a control power loss.
If the VIRTUAL INPUT x FUNCTION is to "Disabled", the input will be forced to 'OFF' (Logic 0) regardless of any attempt to alter
the input. If set to "Enabled", the input operates as shown on the logic diagram and generates output FlexLogic™ operands
in response to received input signals and the applied settings.
There are two types of operation: Self-Reset and Latched. If VIRTUAL INPUT x TYPE is "Self-Reset", when the input signal
transits from OFF = 0 to ON = 1, the output operand will be set to ON = 1 for only one evaluation of the FlexLogic™ equa-
tions and then return to OFF = 0. If set to "Latched", the virtual input sets the state of the output operand to the same state
as the most recent received input, ON =1 or OFF = 0.
The "Self-Reset" operating mode generates the output operand for a single evaluation of the FlexLogic™
equations. If the operand is to be used anywhere other than internally in a FlexLogic™ equation, it will
NOTE
likely have to be lengthened in time. A FlexLogic™ timer with a delayed reset can perform this function.
The Select-Before-Operate timer sets the interval from the receipt of an Operate signal to the automatic de-selection of the
virtual input, so that an input does not remain selected indefinitely (used only with the UCA Select-Before-Operate feature).

Upon startup of the relay, the main processor will determine from an assessment of the modules installed in the chassis
which contact outputs are available and present the settings for only these outputs.
An ID may be assigned to each contact output. The signal that can OPERATE a contact output may be any FlexLogic™
operand (virtual output, element state, contact input, or virtual input). An additional FlexLogic™ operand may be used to
SEAL-IN the relay. Any change of state of a contact output can be logged as an Event if programmed to do so.
EXAMPLE:
The trip circuit current is monitored by providing a current threshold detector in series with some Form-A contacts (see the
TRIP CIRCUIT EXAMPLE in the DIGITAL ELEMENTS section). The monitor will set a flag (see the Specifications for Form-
A). The name of the FlexLogic™ operand set by the monitor, consists of the output relay designation, followed by the name
of the flag; e.g. ‘Cont Op 1 IOn’ or ‘Cont Op 1 IOff’.
5 In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact used to interrupt current
flow after the breaker has tripped, to prevent damage to the less robust initiating contact. This can be done by monitoring
an auxiliary contact on the breaker which opens when the breaker has tripped, but this scheme is subject to incorrect oper-
ation caused by differences in timing between breaker auxiliary contact change-of-state and interruption of current in the
trip circuit. The most dependable protection of the initiating contact is provided by directly measuring current in the tripping
circuit, and using this parameter to control resetting of the initiating relay. This scheme is often called "trip seal-in".
This can be realized in the UR using the ‘Cont Op 1 IOn’ FlexLogic™ operand to seal-in the Contact Output as follows:
CONTACT OUTPUT H1 ID: "Cont Op 1"
OUTPUT H1 OPERATE: "Off"
OUTPUT H1 SEAL-IN: "Cont Op 1 IOn"

For example, if Virtual Output 1 is the trip signal from FlexLogic™ and the trip relay is used to signal events, the settings
would be programmed as follows:

5.7.5 REMOTE DEVICES

a) OVERVIEW
Remote inputs and outputs, which are a means of exchanging information regarding the state of digital points between
remote devices, are provided in accordance with the Electric Power Research Institute’s (EPRI) UCA2 “Generic Object Ori-
ented Substation Event (GOOSE)” specifications.
The UCA2 specification requires that communications between devices be implemented on Ethernet com-
munications facilities. For UR relays, Ethernet communications is provided only on the type 9C and 9D ver-
NOTE
sions of the CPU module.
The sharing of digital point state information between GOOSE equipped relays is essentially an extension to FlexLogic™ to
allow distributed FlexLogic™ by making operands available to/from devices on a common communications network. In
addition to digital point states, GOOSE messages identify the originator of the message and provide other information
required by the communication specification. All devices listen to network messages and capture data from only those mes-
sages that have originated in selected devices.
GOOSE messages are designed to be short, high priority and with a high level of reliability. The GOOSE message structure
contains space for 128 bit pairs representing digital point state information. The UCA specification provides 32 “DNA” bit
pairs, which are status bits representing pre-defined events. All remaining bit pairs are “UserSt” bit pairs, which are status
bits representing user-definable events. The UR implementation provides 32 of the 96 available UserSt bit pairs.
The UCA2 specification includes features that are used to cope with the loss of communication between transmitting and
receiving devices. Each transmitting device will send a GOOSE message upon a successful power-up, when the state of
any included point changes, or after a specified interval (the “default update” time) if a change-of-state has not occurred.
The transmitting device also sends a “hold time” which is set to three times the programmed default time, which is required
by the receiving device.
Receiving devices are constantly monitoring the communications network for messages they require, as recognized by the
identification of the originating device carried in the message. Messages received from remote devices include the mes-
5
sage “hold” time for the device. The receiving relay sets a timer assigned to the originating device to the “hold” time interval,
and if it has not received another message from this device at time-out, the remote device is declared to be non-communi-
cating, so it will use the programmed default state for all points from that specific remote device. This mechanism allows a
receiving device to fail to detect a single transmission from a remote device which is sending messages at the slowest pos-
sible rate, as set by its “default update” timer, without reverting to use of the programmed default states. If a message is
received from a remote device before the “hold” time expires, all points for that device are updated to the states contained
in the message and the hold timer is restarted. The status of a remote device, where ‘Offline’ indicates ‘non-communicat-
ing’, can be displayed.
The GOOSE facility provides for 64 remote inputs and 32 remote outputs.

Remote Inputs which create FlexLogic™ operands at the receiving relay, are extracted from GOOSE messages originating
in remote devices. The relay provides 32 Remote Inputs, each of which can be selected from a list consisting of 64 selec-
tions: DNA-1 through DNA-32 and UserSt-1 through UserSt-32. The function of DNA inputs is defined in the UCA2 specifi-
cations and is presented in the UCA2 DNA ASSIGNMENTS table in the Remote Outputs section. The function of UserSt
inputs is defined by the user selection of the FlexLogic™ operand whose state is represented in the GOOSE message. A
user must program a DNA point from the appropriate operand.
Remote Input 1 must be programmed to replicate the logic state of a specific signal from a specific remote device for local
use. This programming is performed via the three settings shown above.
REMOTE IN 1 DEVICE selects the number (1 to 16) of the Remote Device which originates the required signal, as previously
assigned to the remote device via the setting REMOTE DEVICE NN ID (see REMOTE DEVICES section). REMOTE IN 1 BIT PAIR
5 selects the specific bits of the GOOSE message required. REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE selects the logic state for this point if
the local relay has just completed startup or the remote device sending the point is declared to be non-communicating.

Some events can be programmed to latch the faceplate LED event indicators and the target message on the display. Once
set, the latching mechanism will hold all of the latched indicators or messages in the set state after the initiating condition
has cleared until a RESET command is received to return these latches (not including FlexLogic™ latches) to the reset
state. The RESET command can be sent from the faceplate RESET button, a remote device via a communications chan-
nel, or any programmed operand.
When the RESET command is received by the relay, two FlexLogic™ operands are created. These operands, which are
stored as events, reset the latches if the initiating condition has cleared. The three sources of RESET commands each cre-
ate the FlexLogic™ operand "RESET OP". Each individual source of a RESET command also creates its individual oper-
and RESET OP (PUSHBUTTON), RESET OP (COMMS) or RESET OP (OPERAND) to identify the source of the
command. The setting shown above selects the operand that will create the RESET OP (OPERAND) operand.

Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from external transducers and convert these signals into a digital for-

transducer output ranges; all inputs are assumed to be linear over the complete range. Specific hardware details are con-
tained in the HARDWARE chapter.
Before the DCMA input signal can be used, the value of the signal measured by the relay must be converted to the range
and quantity of the external transducer primary input parameter, such as DC voltage or temperature. The relay simplifies
this process by internally scaling the output from the external transducer and displaying the actual primary parameter.
DCMA input channels are arranged in a manner similar to CT and VT channels. The user configures individual channels
with the settings shown here.
The channels are arranged in sub-modules of two channels, numbered from 1 through 8 from top to bottom. On power-up,
the relay will automatically generate configuration settings for every channel, based on the order code, in the same general
manner that is used for CTs and VTs. Each channel is assigned a slot letter followed by the row number, 1 through 8 inclu-

b) UR CONVENTION FOR MEASURING PHASE ANGLES


All phasors calculated by UR relays and used for protection, control and metering functions are rotating phasors that main-
tain the correct phase angle relationships with each other at all times.
For display and oscillography purposes, all phasor angles in a given relay are referred to an AC input channel pre-selected
by the SETTINGS ÖØ SYSTEM SETUP ÖØ POWER SYSTEM ÖØ FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE setting. This setting
defines a particular Source to be used as the reference.
The relay will first determine if any "Phase VT" bank is indicated in the Source. If it is, voltage channel VA of that bank is
used as the angle reference. Otherwise, the relay determines if any "Aux VT" bank is indicated; if it is, the auxiliary voltage
channel of that bank is used as the angle reference. If neither of the two conditions is satisfied, then two more steps of this
hierarchical procedure to determine the reference signal include "Phase CT" bank and "Ground CT" bank.
If the AC signal pre-selected by the relay upon configuration is not measurable, the phase angles are not referenced. The
phase angles are assigned as positive in the leading direction, and are presented as negative in the lagging direction, to
more closely align with power system metering conventions. This is illustrated below.

c) UR CONVENTION FOR MEASURING SYMMETRICAL COMPONENTS


UR relays calculate voltage symmetrical components for the power system phase A line-to-neutral voltage, and symmetri-
cal components of the currents for the power system phase A current. Owing to the above definition, phase angle relations
between the symmetrical currents and voltages stay the same irrespective of the connection of instrument transformers.
This is important for setting directional protection elements that use symmetrical voltages.
For display and oscillography purposes the phase angles of symmetrical components are referenced to a common refer-
ence as described in the previous sub-section.
WYE-Connected Instrument Transformers:
• ABC phase rotation: • ACB phase rotation:

V_0 = --- ( VAG + VBG + V CG ) V_0 = --- ( V AG + V BG + V CG )

V_2 = --- ( VAG + a V BG + aV CG ) V_2 = --- ( V AG + aV BG + a VCG )

The above equations apply to currents as well.

SOURCE FREQUENCY is measured via software-implemented zero-crossing detection of an AC signal. The signal is either a
Clarke transformation of three-phase voltages or currents, auxiliary voltage, or ground current as per source configuration
(see SETTINGS ÖØ SYSTEM SETUP ÖØ POWER SYSTEM). The signal used for frequency estimation is low-pass filtered. The
final frequency measurement is passed through a validation filter that eliminates false readings due to signal distortions and

CLEAR RECORDS menu for clearing fault reports.

6.4.2 FAULT LOCATOR OPERATION

Fault Type determination is required for calculation of Fault Location – the algorithm uses the angle between the negative
and positive sequence components of the relay currents. To improve accuracy and speed of operation, the fault compo-
nents of the currents are used, i.e., the pre-fault phasors are subtracted from the measured current phasors. In addition to
the angle relationships, certain extra checks are performed on magnitudes of the negative and zero sequence currents.
The single-ended fault location method assumes that the fault components of the currents supplied from the local (A) and
6
remote (B) systems are in phase. The figure below shows an equivalent system for fault location.

The following equations hold true for this equivalent system.
V A = m ⋅ Z ⋅ I A + R F ⋅ ( IA + IB ) eqn. 1

where: m = sought pu distance to fault, Z = positive sequence impedance of the line.


The currents from the local and remote systems can be parted between their fault (F) and pre-fault load (pre) components:

and neglecting shunt parameters of the line:

VA – m ⋅ Z ⋅ IA
R F = ----------------------------------- eqn. 4
I BF
I AF ⋅  1 + ------- -

Assuming the fault components of the currents, IAF and IBF are in phase, and observing that the fault resistance, as imped-
ance, does not have any imaginary part gives:
V A – m ⋅ Z ⋅ IA
Im  ----------------------------------- eqn. 5
 I AF 

where: Im() represents the imaginary part of a complex number. Equation 5 solved for the unknown m creates the following
fault location algorithm:
Im ( VA ⋅ I AF∗ )
m = ---------------------------------------
- eqn. 6
Im ( Z ⋅ I A ⋅ I AF∗ )

where: * denotes the complex conjugate and: I AF = IA – I Apre eqn. 7


Depending on the fault type, appropriate voltage and current signals are selected from the phase quantities before applying
equations 6 and 7 (the superscripts denote phases, the subscripts denote stations):

8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.1 DISTANCE ELEMENTS

8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.1 DISTANCE ELEMENTS 8.1.1 INTRODUCTION

The distance elements use memory voltage for polarization. Additional supervising functions – different for ground and
phase distance zones – complement a classical mho characteristic in order to enhance the directional integrity and reach
accuracy:
• To avoid overreaching during resistive faults under heavy pre-fault load conditions, the ground distance elements uti-
lize a load-adaptive (zero-sequence polarized) reactance characteristic to supervise the base mho characteristic.
• Both negative and zero-sequence currents are compared with the memory voltage to enhance directional integrity of
the ground distance elements.
• It is well known that ground distance elements – as per the principle of distance relaying – may have limited accuracy
during double-line-to-ground faults. In order to prevent maloperation in such cases the ground elements are blocked
by an extra "fault-type comparator" that utilizes the phase angle between the negative- and zero-sequence currents.
• The phase distance elements use reactance and memory polarized directional characteristics to supervise the mho
characteristic.
• Both ground and phase distance elements have the current supervision functions built-in.
The quadrilateral distance characteristic uses the reactance, directional, and current supervising functions as described
above. Right and left blinders adjustable as to both the resistive and angular positions complete the characteristic.
More information regarding the distance characteristics is found in the DISTANCE CHARACTERISTICS section. An exam-
ple of analysis of the steady-state operation of the distance elements is found in the DISTANCE ELEMENTS ANALYSIS
section.
The relay provides four zones of distance protection. All zones are identical in terms of settings. However, Zone 1 has extra
adaptive mechanisms built-in to enhance the transient reach accuracy even when the voltage signals are supplied from
poor quality voltage sources such as Capacitive Voltage Transformers (CVTs). Ground Zones 2 trough 4, in turn, have an
extra zero-sequence directional supervision implemented for their time-delayed operation after the memory expires. Con-
sequently, Zone 1 is recommended as an underreaching element, and Zones 2 through 4 are recommended as overreach-
ing elements and for time-delayed tripping.
The relay uses offset ground directional overcurrent functions as an optional supplement of the ground distance protection
for pilot-aided schemes. The elements are described in more details in the GROUND DIRECTIONAL O/C section.
The relay provides for an adaptive distance reach control to cope with the overreaching and sub-synchronous oscillations
when applied to, or in a near vicinity of series compensated lines. More details can be found in the APPLICATION ON
SERIES COMPENSATED LINES section.
The distance elements use phase angle comparators to shape their characteristics as described in detail in the DISTANCE
CHARACTERISTICS section. The voltage and current phasors are estimated using optimized techniques as explained in
the next section.

8.1 DISTANCE ELEMENTS 8 THEORY OF OPERATION

8.1.2 PHASOR ESTIMATION

The relay samples its input AC signals at 64 samples per power system cycle. A fast and accurate frequency tracking
mechanism ensures accurate filtering and phasor estimation during off-nominal frequency conditions.
The phasor estimation process for both currents and voltages is based on the commonly used Fourier algorithm. Due to a
different nature of signal distortions in the current and voltage signals digital pre-filtering algorithms have been, however,
designed and optimized separately for the current and voltage channels.
The current signals are pre-filtered using an improved digital MIMIC filter. The filter removes effectively the DC component
(–s) guaranteeing transient overshoot below 2% regardless of the initial magnitude and time constant of the dc component
(–s). The filter has significantly better frequency response for higher frequencies as compared with a classical MIMIC filter.
This was possible without introducing any significant phase delay thanks to the high sampling rate used by the relay.
The voltage signals are pre-filtered using a special digital filter designed to cope with CVT transients. The patented filter
combines filtering and memory actions enabling the relay to cope with CVT noise under high Source Impedance Ratios
(SIRs). The filter controls underestimation of the fault voltage magnitude to less than 1% of the nominal and prevents cer-
tain phase angle anomalies that can be encountered under heavy CVT noise and high SIRs.

8.1.3 DISTANCE CHARACTERISTICS

The relay shapes its distance characteristics using phase angle comparators and voltage and current phasors estimated as
described in the previous section.
The following definitions pertain to all of the distance functions:

b) REACTANCE CHARACTERISTIC
The reactance characteristic is achieved by checking the angle between:

BC phase element: (IB – IC) × Z – (VB – VC) and (IB – IC) × Z
CA phase element: (IC – IA) × Z – (VC – VA) and (IC – IA) × Z

C ground element: IC × Z + I_0 × K0 × Z + IG × K0M × Z – VC and I_0 × Z
If the MHO characteristic is selected, the limit angle of the comparator is adjustable concurrently with the limit angle of the
mho characteristic, resulting in a tent shape complementing the lens characteristic being effectively applied. If the QUAD
characteristic is selected, the reactance comparator constitutes the upper boundary of the operating region.
The reactance characteristic enables the relay to avoid overreaching on resistive faults during heavy load conditions.

c) DIRECTIONAL CHARACTERISTIC
The directional characteristic is achieved by checking the angle between:
AB phase element: (IA – IB) × ZD and (VA – VB)_1M
BC phase element: (IB – IC) × ZD and (VB – VC)_1M
CA phase element: (IC – IA) × ZD and (VC – VA)_1M

B ground element: I_0 × ZD and VB_1M
IB_2 × ZD and VB_1M
C ground element: I_0 × ZD and VC_1M

The characteristic and limit angles of the directional comparator are adjustable independently from the mho and reactance
comparators. The directional characteristic improves directional integrity of the distance functions.

The blinders apply to the QUAD characteristic only.

f) FAULT-TYPE CHARCTERISTIC
The fault-type characteristic applies to ground elements only and is achieved by checking the angle between:
A ground element: I_0 and IA_2
B ground element: I_0 and IB_2
C ground element: I_0 and IC_2
The limit angle of the comparator is not adjustable and equals 50°. The fault-type characteristic is intended to block the
ground distance elements during double-line-to-ground faults.

g) ZERO-SEQUENCE DIRECTIONAL CHARACTERISTIC


The extra zero-sequence characteristic applies to ground Zones 2 through 4 only and is achieved by checking the angle
between:
A ground element: I_0 × ZD and –V_0
B ground element: I_0 × ZD and –V_0
C ground element: I_0 × ZD and –V_0
The limit angle of the comparator is not adjustable and equals 90°. The zero-sequence directional characteristic improves
8 directional integrity for time-delayed operations after the memory expires.

8.1 DISTANCE ELEMENTS 8 THEORY OF OPERATION

8.1.4 MEMORY POLARIZATION

All distance functions use memory polarization. The positive-sequence voltage – either memorized or actual – is used as a
polarizing signal. The memory is established when the positive-sequence voltage remains above 80% of its nominal value
for five power system cycles. The memory voltage is a three-cycle old voltage.
Once established, the memory is applied for the user-specified time interval. The memory timer is started when the voltage
drops below 80% of nominal. After the memory expires, the relay checks the magnitude of the actual positive-sequence
voltage. If it is higher than 10% of nominal, the actual voltage is used; if lower, the memory voltage continues to be used.
The memory-polarized mho has an extra directional integrity built-in as illustrated below. The self-polarized mho character-
istic is shifted in the reverse direction for a forward fault by an amount proportional to the source impedance, and in the for-
ward direction for a reverse fault.

Mutual zero-sequence compensation may raise concerns regarding directional integrity on reverse faults in the situation
when the relay gets "overcompensated". This problem does not affect the D60 because its ground distance elements use
zero-sequence and negative-sequence currents in extra directional comparators. Both the currents are from the protected
line and are not affected by any compensation as the latter applies only to the reach defining comparators: the mho, reac-
tance and blinder characteristics.

8.1.5 DISTANCE ELEMENTS ANALYSIS

This subsection shows how to analyze the operation of the distance elements in steady states using the results of short cir-
cuit studies. All quantities are secondary ohms, volts, and amperes. Ground phase A and phase AB distance elements are
analyzed.
Assume the following settings have been entered:
Phase Rotation: ABC Right Blinder Reach: 10 Ω
Nominal Secondary Voltage: 69.28 V Right Blinder RCA: 88°
Distance Reach: 14 Ω Left Blinder Reach: 5Ω
Distance RCA: 88° Left Blinder RCA: 88°
Directional RCA: 88° Z0/Z1 Magnitude: 4.55
Overcurrent supervision: 3A Z0/Z1 Angle: –12°
Distance Comparator limit angle: 75° Z0M/Z1 Magnitude: 0
Directional Comparator limit angle: 75°
Assume the following signals are injected to the relay:
VA = 64.71 V ∠0.0° (pre-fault) IA = 4.47 A ∠–107.8°
VA = 25.43 V ∠–19.9° IB = 2.92 A ∠68.9°
VB = 80.22 V ∠–133.5° IC = 2.93 A ∠–51.1°
VC = 77.33 V ∠135.7°
Based on the entered setting the relay calculates:
K0 = 3.58 ∠–15.2° ZD = 1 Ω ∠88°
K0M= 0 ZR = 9.99 Ω ∠2°
Z = 14.00 Ω ∠88° ZL = 4.99 Ω ∠178°
For the assumed steady-state injection the relay calculates:

Figure 8–4: OFFSET IMPEDANCE AUGMENTATION


In order to ensure operation of the element under such circumstances the angle comparator uses a polarizing voltage aug-
mented by the negative-sequence current as per following equations:
• Forward-looking element: S_pol = – V_2 + I_2 × Z_offset × 1 ∠ECA
S_op = I_2 × 1 ∠ECA
• Reverse-looking element: S_pol = – V_2 + I_2 × Z_offset × 1 ∠ECA
S_op = – I_2 × 1 ∠ECA
where: ECA = forward ECA angle (maximum torque angle); Z_offset = offset impedance
The effect of the augmentation for forward and reverse fault is shown in the figures above. As long as the offset impedance
is not higher than the negative-sequence line impedance the element will ensure correct and fast fault direction identifica-
tion for both forward and reverse faults. The same principle applies to the neutral directional overcurrent element.

8.2.2 EXAMPLE

Consider relay input signals as in the DISTANCE ELEMENTS ANALYSIS section and assume an offset impedance of 4 Ω
and ECA and limit angles of 88° and 90°, respectively. The relay calculates the following negative-sequence quantities:
V_2 = 6.39 V ∠–159.6°; I_2 = 1.37 A ∠–68.1°; I_1 = 2.94 A ∠–144.2°
8 and the following signals for the directional unit of the negative-sequence directional overcurrent element:
• Forward-looking element: S_pol = 11.87 V ∠20.2°
S_op = 1.37 V ∠20.2°

• Reverse-looking element: S_pol = 11.87 V ∠20.2°


S_op = 1.37 V ∠– 160.0 °
After comparing the angles, a solid forward indication is given.
Assume further the pickup setting of 0.25 A for both forward and reverse directions, and the "Negative-sequence" mode
setting entered for the overcurrent unit of the element. The relay calculates the operating signal using the positive-
sequence restraint:
I_op = |I_2| – |I_1| / 8 = 1.003 A > 0.25 A.
The overcurrent unit will pickup and the element will operate in the forward direction.

8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.3 SERIES COMPENSATED LINES

8.3 SERIES COMPENSATED LINES 8.3.1 DESCRIPTION

Faults on or in a close vicinity of series compensated lines may create problems for distance protection:
• Voltage and/or current inversion may lead to false direction discrimination by directional elements. This may potentially
include both a failure to operate on a forward in-zone fault as well as misoperation on a reverse fault. Both distance
and overcurrent directional elements can be affected.
• Series-capacitors and their overvoltage protection equipment (air gaps and/or Metal-Oxide Varistors) have a steady-
state overreaching effect on the apparent impedance seen by the relay - a forward fault may appear much closer to the
relay as compared with the actual fault location. The apparent impedance may be shifted towards the relay by as much
as the total reactance of the series capacitors placed between the potential source of the relay and the fault point. This
extreme steady-state overreach happens during low-current faults when the air-gaps do not flashover or the MOVs do
not conduct any significant current.
• In addition to the above steady-state overreach effect; sub-synchronous oscillations in both currents and voltages may
cause significant transient overreach.
Distance protection elements of the D60 deal with the problem of voltage inversion by using 100% memory polarized direc-
tional comparators. As the memory duration is set longer that the slowest fault clearing time for reverse faults, it is guaran-
teed that the distance element would not pick-up on reverse faults should the voltage inversion happen.
At the same time, it is guaranteed that the distance elements would pick-up for all forward faults regardless of any voltage
inversion as long as the memory voltage is used. Before the memory expires the relay would respond to any fault on the
protected line. Stepped distance backup zones operate after the memory voltage expires. But the backup protection
responds to distant faults that do not cause any inversion of the positive-sequence voltage. As a result, the time-delayed
stepped-distance zones are guaranteed to operate.
Distance protection elements of the D60 deal with the problem of current inversion by using a multi-input-comparator
approach as described in the DISTANCE CHARACTERITICS subsection. Should the current inversion happen, the dis-
tance elements are secure on reverse faults because multiple conditions involving fault-loop, negative-sequence and zero-
sequence currents and the memory voltage are checked prior to declaring a forward fault.
On close-in forward faults beyond the series capacitors as seen from the relaying point, the current inversion phenomenon
may take place for a short period of time. The condition cannot sustain for a long time as very high fault currents would
occur causing large voltage drops across the series capacitors and prompting the overvoltage protection of the capacitors
to operate quickly. This would effectively remove the series compensation and eliminate the current inversion. However,
when the currents used by distance comparator (fault-loop current for ground and phase distance protection, and the neg-
ative- and zero-sequence currents for ground elements) stay shifted by more than 90 degrees from their natural fault posi-
tion determined by the user as the element characteristic angle, the distance elements may fail to pick-up on such a
forward fault for the brief period of current inversion. This is an inherent attribute of the 100% memory polarized mho ele-
ment, and not a weakness particular to the D60 relay.
Therefore, for dependability, it is recommended to use high-set phase overcurrent protection for direct tripping on close-in
faults potentially causing current inversion, and overreaching ground fault directional overcurrent functions (such as nega-
tive-sequence, ground or neutral) for communication-aided schemes.
The problem of steady-state overreaching due to the negative reactance of the series capacitors may be addressed in the
D60 in a traditional way by shortening the reach of an underreaching distance elements to the net inductive reactance of
the line between the potential source and the far end busbar (-s). This generic approach has two major drawbacks. First, it
8
leaves large portion of the line uncovered by the directly tripping distance protection. Second, it does not solve the transient
overreaching problem caused by sub-synchronous oscillations.
Therefore, the D60 offers a unique option for dynamic reach control that is effectively based on the magnitude of the current
flowing through the series capacitor bank (-s). The underreaching distance functions can be set as for plain uncompen-
sated line, i.e. using the impedance of the line alone, and the relay would control an effective reach accordingly using the
current magnitude as illustrated in the figure below.
The reach is reduced sufficiently to cope with both steady-state and transient overreach phenomena. For large degrees of
compensation and small-current faults, the transient overreach may be as high as 100%. This means that fast distance pro-
tection is not achievable. The adaptive D60's mechanism would guarantee security on external faults. Overreaching ground
fault directional overcurrent functions (such as negative-sequence, ground or neutral) shall be used for dependability.

Section (a) of the figure below shows the effect of adaptive reach control for low-current external fault. The reach is reduced
sufficiently to cope with both transient and steady-state overreach. Section (b) shows a high-current external fault. The air
gaps or MOVs conduct majority of the fault current and neither steady-state nor transient overreach takes place. The relay
does not reduce its reach as it is not necessary. Section (c) shows a high-current internal fault. Because of the large cur-
rent, the reach is not reduced and the element responds to this internal fault. Traditional approach would leave this fault out
of the relay reach.
The neutral and negative-sequence directional protection functions of the relay cope with the voltage and/or current inver-
sions by adding appropriate offset to their polarizing signals as explained in the GROUND DIRECTIONAL OVERCUR-
RENT subsection. The offset impedance can always be successfully selected to guarantee correct fault direction
discrimination regardless of the degree of compensation and location of the series capacitors and the potential source.

applications.

8.4 SINGLE-POLE TRIPPING 8 THEORY OF OPERATION

8.4 SINGLE-POLE TRIPPING 8.4.1 OVERVIEW

See the SINGLE POLE OPERATION diagram in this section for an overview of trip and reclose operations.
Single pole operations make use of many features of the relay. At the minimum, the Trip Output, Recloser, Breaker Control,
Open Pole Detector, and Phase Selector must be fully programmed and in service; and either protection elements or digital
inputs representing fault detection must be available for successful operation. When single pole trip-and-reclose is required
overall control within the relay is performed by the Trip Output element. This element includes interfaces with pilot aided
schemes, the Line Pickup, Breaker Control, and Breaker Failure elements.
Single pole operations are based on use of the Phase Selector to identify the type of the fault, to eliminate incorrect fault
identification that can be made by distance elements in some circumstances and to provide trip initiation from elements that
are not capable of any fault type identification, such as high-set negative-sequence directional overcurrent element. The
scheme is also designed to make use of the advantages provided by communications channels with multiple-bit capacities
for fault identification.

The Trip Output element receives requests for single and three pole trips and three pole reclose initiation, which it then pro-
cesses to generate outputs that are used to:
• determine whether a single or three pole operation should be performed
• initiate tripping of breaker poles A, B and C, either individually or as a group
• initiate Breaker Failure protection for phases A, B and C, either individually or as a group

8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.4 SINGLE-POLE TRIPPING

• notify the Open Pole Detector when a single pole operation is imminent
• initiate either single or three pole reclosing
• notify the Phase Selector when a trip operation is imminent
When notified that a single pole operation has been initiated Open Pole Detector will:
• initiate blocking of protection elements that could potentially mis-operate when a breaker pole is open
• instruct the Phase Selector to de-assert all outputs, as an Open Pole invalidates calculations.
The operation of the scheme on a line in a single breaker arrangement will be described. The line is protected by a D60
relay using the Line Pickup, Z1 Phase and Ground Distance elements, and a Permissive Overreaching Transfer Trip
scheme (using Z2 Phase and Ground distance elements as well as Negative-Sequence Directional Overcurrent elements,
GND DIR O/C FWD: "NEG SEQ OC1 FWD", GND DIR O/C REV: "NEG SEQ OC1 REV"). Z1 is configured to issue a single-pole
trip when appropriate (TRIP 1-POLE INPUT-1: "GND DIST Z1 OP", TRIP 1-POLE INPUT-2: "PHS DIST Z1 OP"). By default the
POTT scheme will issue a single-pole trip. It is assumed that when tripping three-poles both the Z1 and the POTT shall ini-
tiate three-pole reclosing. This is achieved by setting TRIP RECLOSE INPUT-1: "POTT TRIP 3P", TRIP RECLOSE INPUT-2: "GND
DIST Z1 OP", and TRIP RECLOSE INPUT-3: "PHS DIST Z1 OP".
It is assumed for this discussion that the relay features that are shown on SINGLE POLE OPERATION figure have all been
programmed for the application and are in service. The description begins with line breakers open at both the local and
remote ends, and the operation of the scheme is described in chronological order.
Because the line is de-energized the Line Pickup element is armed. The Recloser is presently enabled. An operator
requests that Breaker Control close the breaker, and it operates output relays to close breaker poles A, B and C. This oper-
ator manual close request is also forwarded from BREAKER CONTROL to RECLOSER, which becomes disabled, de-
asserting its ENABLED output. This output is transferred to TRIP OUTPUT, where it converts any input request for a single
pole operation into a three-pole operation. At RECLOSER, the AR1 BLK TIME @ MAN CLOSE timer is started.
The breaker closes and status monitoring contacts on the breaker poles change state; the new breaker pole states are
reported to BREAKER CONTROL, which in turn transfers these states to RECLOSER, TRIP OUTPUT, BREAKER FAIL-
URE and OPEN POLE Detector. Because a fault is not detected the AR1 BLK TIME @ MAN CLOSE times out and the
RECLOSER is enabled, which asserts the ENABLED output, informing TRIP OUTPUT that single pole trip operations are
now permitted. When normal voltage appears on the line the LINE PICKUP element is disarmed. As the local line breaker
has not tripped the operator closes the breaker at the remote end of the line, placing the line in service.
Several scenarios are considered below.

a) SLG FAULT
An AG fault occurs close to the considered relay. Immediately after the fault, the Disturbance Detector (50DD) picks-up and
activates the PHASE SELECTOR. The PHASE SELECTOR recognizes an AG fault by asserting its PHASE SELECT AG
operand. Ground distance Z1 (AG element) responds to the fault. As the fault is close to the relay the phase distance Z1
(AB, CA elements) may respond to this fault as well. In any case, a single-pole operation is requested by Z1 via the GND
DIST Z1 OP and/or PHS DIST Z1 OP operands.
At this moment the request to trip is placed for the TRIP OUTPUT. As the fault is recognized as an AG fault, the TRIP
PHASE A operand is asserted by the TRIP OUTPUT. This signal is passed to the BREAKER CONTROL scheme and
results in tripping pole A of the breaker.
8
Simultaneously with the TRIP PHASE A operand, the TRIP 1-POLE operand is asserted. This operand activates the OPEN
POLE detector. The latter detector responds to the TRIP PHASE A signal by declaring phase A open by asserting OPEN
POLE OP FA (even before it is actually opened). The TRIP PHASE A signal resets only after the breaker actually operates
as indicated by its auxiliary contact. At this moment the OPEN POLE detector responds to the breaker position and contin-
ues to indicate phase A opened. This indication results in establishing blocking signals for neutral and negative-sequence
overcurrent elements (OPEN POLE BLK N), and distance elements (OPEN POLE BLK AB, OPEN POLE BLK CA). The
two latter operands block phase distance AB and CA elements, respectively (all zones); the OPEN POLE FA OP blocks the
ground distance AG elements (all zones). As a result, the Z1 OP and Z2 PKP operands that were picked-up reset immedi-
ately. The following distance elements remain operational guarding the line against evolving faults: BG, CG and BC.

GE Power Management D60 Line Distance Relay 8-15


8.4 SINGLE-POLE TRIPPING 8 THEORY OF OPERATION

As Z2 and/or negative-sequence directional elements pick-up due to the fault, the permission to trip is keyed to the remote
end. Assume here that a single-bit channel is used. If so, no extra information is sent to the remote end, just permission to
trip sent over the TX1 operand. Upon receiving permission to trip over the RX1, the POTT decides to trip. The scheme will
check the PHASE SELECTOR for phase type identification and will issue a trip for phase A by asserting the POTT TRIP A
operand. This operand is passed to the TRIP OUTPUT and results in exactly same action as described above for Z1.
Depending on response times, the actual trip is initiated either by the Z1 or by the POTT. At the moment TRIP 1-POLE
operand is asserted, the PHASE SELECTOR resets and no other trip action could take place. After the trip command is
issued all the picked up elements are forced to reset by the OPEN POLE detector.
The TRIP 1-POLE operand initiates automatically a single-pole autoreclose. The AR is started and asserts its AR RIP oper-
and. This operand keeps blocking the PHASE SELECTOR so that it does not respond to any subsequent events. At the
same time the operand removes zero-sequence directional supervision from ground distance zones 2 and 3 so that they
could respond to a single-line-to-ground fault during OPEN POLE conditions.
8 msec after the AR is initiated, the AR FORCE 3-P TRIP operand is asserted. This operand acts as an enabler for any
existing trip request. In this case none of the protection elements is picked up at this time, therefore no more trips are initi-
ated.
When the RECLOSER dead time interval is complete it signals BREAKER CONTROL to close the breaker. BREAKER
CONTROL operates output relays to close the breaker.
When pole A of the breaker closes this new status is reported to BREAKER CONTROL, which transfers this data to
BREAKER FAILURE, RECLOSER, OPEN POLE detector and TRIP OUTPUT. The response at BREAKER FAILURE is
dependent on the programming of that element. The response at RECLOSER is not relevant to this discussion. At OPEN
POLE Detector the blocking signals to protection elements are de-asserted.
If the fault was transient the reset time would expire at RECLOSER and the AR FORCE 3-P TRIP and RIP outputs would
be de-asserted, returning all features to the state described at the beginning of this description.
If the fault was permanent appropriate protection elements would detect it and place a trip request for the TRIP OUTPUT.
As the AR FORCE 3-P TRIP is still asserted, the request is executed as a three-pole trip.
The response of the system from this point is as described above for the second trip, except the RECLOSER will go to lock-
out upon the next initiation (depending on the number of shots programmed).

b) SLG FAULT EVOLVING INTO LLG


When an AG fault occurs the events unfold initially as in the previous example. If the fault evolves quickly, the PHASE
SELECTOR will change its initial assessment from AG to ABG fault and when the trip request is placed either by the Z1 or
the POTT, a trip-pole trip will be initiated. If this is the case, all three TRIP PHASE A, B and C operands will be asserted.
The command is passed to the BREAKER CONTROL element and results in a three-pole trip. At the same time the
RECLOSER is initiated as per settings of the TRIP OUTPUT. As the TRIP 3-POLE operand is asserted (not the TRIP 1-
POLE operand) the OPEN POLE is not activated. Because the AR RIP in progress is asserted, the PHASE SELECTOR is
blocked as well.
If the fault evolves slowly, the sequence is different: The relay trips phase A as in the previous example. The PHASE
SELECTOR Resets, the OPEN POLE detector is activated and forces Z1 and Z2 AG, AB, CA and negative-sequence over-
current elements to reset. If the Z1 BG element picks up, or Z2 BG element picks up resulting in operation of the POTT
8 scheme, no trip command will be issued until the AR FORCE 3-P TRIP is asserted. This happens 8 msec after the first trip.
If at this time or any time later a request for trip is placed (due to an evolving fault), a three-pole trip is initiated. The TRIP 1-
POLE operand is de-asserted by the TRIP 3-POLE operand, resetting the OPEN POLE detector. Shortly all three-poles are
opened.
When the dead time expires, the RECLOSER signals the BREAKER CONTROL to close the breaker. At this time all the
protection elements are operational, as the OPEN POLE is not blocking any elements. If the line-side VTs are used, the
LINE PICKUP element is armed as well. If there is a fault on the line, these elements will pickup the fault and issue next
request for trip. This request results in three-pole trip as the AR FORCE 3-P TRIP is still asserted.
The response of the system from this point is as described above for the second trip, except the RECLOSER will go to lock-
out upon the next initiation (depending on the number of shots programmed).

8.4.2 PHASE SELECTION

The D60 uses phase relations between current symmetrical components for phase selection. First, the algorithm validates
if there is enough zero-, positive-, and negative-sequence currents for reliable analysis. The comparison is adaptive; that is,
the magnitudes of the three symmetrical components used mutually as restraints confirm if a given component is large
enough to be used for phase selection. Once the current magnitudes are validated, the algorithm analyzes phase relations
between the negative and positive-sequence currents and negative and zero-sequence currents (when applicable) as illus-
trated below.

Figure 8–8: PHASE SELECTION PRINCIPLE (ABC PHASE ROTATION)


Due to dual comparisons, the algorithm is very secure. For increased accuracy and to facilitate operation in weak systems,
the pre-fault components are removed from the analyzed currents. The algorithm is very fast and ensures proper phase
selection before any of the correctly set protection elements operates.
Under unusual circumstances such as weak-infeed conditions with the zero-sequence current dominating during any
ground fault, or during cross-country faults, the current-based phase selector may not recognize any of the known fault pat-
tern. If this is the case, voltages are used for phase selection. The voltage algorithm is the same as the current-based algo-
rithm, e.g. phase angles between the zero-, negative-, and positive-sequence voltages are used. The pre-fault values are
subtracted prior to any calculations.
The pre-fault quantities are captured and the calculations start when the DISTURBANCE DETECTOR (50DD) operates.
When the trip command is issued by the TRIP OUTPUT logic (TRIP 1-POLE or TRIP 3-POLE) and during autoreclosure
cycle (AR RIP), the phase selector resets all its output operands and ignores any subsequent operations of the DISTUR-
BANCE DETECTOR.

8.4 SINGLE-POLE TRIPPING 8 THEORY OF OPERATION

8.4.3 COMMUNICATIONS CHANNELS FOR PILOT-AIDED SCHEMES

In the D60 relay pilot-aided schemes transmit a code representing the type of fault determined by the local phase selector
according to the scheme logic. At a receiving terminal the local and remote data is combined to determine the action to be
performed. Schemes can be used with channels that can carry one, two or four bits. Using a one-bit channel, the schemes
at all terminals of the line use their local phase selectors to identify the fault type and initiate appropriate tripping actions. In
single pole operation applications however, a three-pole trip can be performed in the event of an in-line single-phase fault
co-incident with a fault on a different phase (cross-country fault) that is within the reach of the local phase selector, which is
considerably longer than the line. This possibility can be reduced by using a two-bit channel, and eliminated by using a
four-bit channel.
Using two-bit channels, the relays can share limited information about their local phase selection, improving considerably
the accuracy of single-pole tripping on cross-country faults. Two-bit channels however can only provide four different mes-
sages, one of which must be “no fault has been detected.” With only three messages available it is not possible to transmit
sufficient information to eliminate the use of local phase selector data, so a three-pole operation can occur in a cross-coun-
try fault condition. Using four-bit channels, the relays share enough information about fault types seen from all the line ter-
minals that local fault selector data can be rejected. In addition, in multiple bit systems the relays do not respond to non-
valid bit combinations, making the protection system more immune to communication problems than in a single bit system.
Each scheme within the relay has a setting that specifies the number of bits available on the associated communications
channel. This setting defines the input (RX1, RX2, RX3, RX4) and output (TX1, TX2, TX3, TX4 for communications and
[SCHEME ABBREVIATION] TRIP A, TRIP B, TRIP C, TRIP 3P for action) operands used by the scheme, the data codes
used to convey fault data between terminals, and the method of combining information from the local and remote terminals
to produce an output.

8.4.4 PERMISSIVE ECHO SIGNALING

The “echo” feature can reduce the response time of an over-reaching scheme when a terminal is disconnected from the
line. In this condition, a Zone 2 element at the terminal that remains in-service can detect a fault, but cannot trip, as a per-
missive signal is not received from the remote terminal. This feature is provided in the permissive over-reaching transfer trip
and hybrid permissive over-reaching transfer trip schemes.
Permissive Over-Reaching Transfer Trip Scheme:
When used this feature will “echo” a reliable received permissive signal back to the originating terminal when a line-
end-open condition is identified by the Line Pickup logic. The Permissive Echo is programmed as a one-shot logic. The
echo is sent only once and then the echo logic locks out for a settable period. The duration of the echo pulse does not
depend on the duration or shape of the received RX signals but is settable.
The echo is sent back only if none of the overreaching protection elements operates.
Hybrid Permissive Over-Reaching Transfer Trip Permissive Echo:
When used this feature will “echo” a reliable received permissive signal back to the originating terminal if the line-end-
open condition is recognized by the LINE PICKUP scheme and the fault is not identified as a reverse fault by the zone
4 or the ground directional overcurrent function (if used). The Permissive Echo is programmed as a one-shot logic. The
echo is sent only once and then the echo logic locks out for a settable period. The duration of the echo pulse does not
depend on the duration or shape of the received RX signal but is settable as ECHO DURATION.
The echo is sent back only if none of the overreaching protection elements operates.
Permissive Echo Operands And Transmit Codes:
In single-pole tripping, single-bit channel applications the signal received on bit no. 1 (RX1) is echoed back on bit no. 1
(TX1). In two- and four-bit applications the following Echo Tables apply.

8.4.5 COORDINATION BETWEEN PILOT SCHEMES AND PHASE SELECTOR

For local fault type identification the pilot schemes use the Phase Selector. The latter may fail to respond to certain fault
scenarios. Examples are: simultaneous forward and reverse fault, simultaneous SLG and LL fault involving different
phases (e.g. AG and BC) or two simultaneous faults in the same direction but at very different locations. The Phase Selec-
tor is optimized to either indicate correctly the forward fault or to assert the VOID flag. For example, a combination of AG
and BC is not a valid fault type - it is two different simultaneous faults and as such cannot be described by any single fault
pattern, therefore, the Phase Selector would assert the VOID flag.
The VOID phase selection combined with a local trip request (such as high-set directional overcurrent) will result in three-
pole trip as per TRIP OUTPUT logic.
The Pilot Schemes, however, try to recover more information from the distance elements. Each scheme uses a forward
looking, either underreaching or overreaching, distance zone. A given Pilot Scheme analyzes this zone for fault type identi-
fication if the Phase Selector asserts its VOID flag: the DUTT scheme uses Z1; all the other schemes use Z2. The schemes
analyze all six fault loops of the zone to determine the fault type.
For example, simultaneous forward AG and reverse BG faults may result in the VOID indication. The POTT scheme would
analyze the Z2 response. As only the AG element is picked up, the local phase selection is determined as AG. This is a cor-
rect indication.
Depending on the number of bits used for communications, the accuracy of the overall response will be further improved as
illustrated in the next subsection.
This enhanced operation of the pilot-aided schemes is the reason to use a short pilot scheme priority time when setting the
Trip Output logic. The timer will force the scheme to wait for a decision from the pilot scheme for a short period of time
before accepting any local trip request. The advantage, however, materializes only if more than one-bit communications
channels are used, and is important only on parallel lines or when the application requires maximum accuracy of single-
pole tripping. In other cases, it is not recommended to delay the local trip decision.

8.4 SINGLE-POLE TRIPPING 8 THEORY OF OPERATION

8.4.6 CROSS COUNTRY FAULT EXAMPLE

Assume a single pole operation application where D60 relays are used to protect a two terminal line, (terminals T1 and T2)
using phase and ground distance zone 1, 2 and 3 elements in a permissive over-reaching transfer trip scheme. The perfor-
mance of the system with one- two and four-bit communications channels is outlined for a mid-line phase A-to-ground fault
and a co-incident phase B-to-ground fault just behind terminal T2. Assume also that the reclosers are enabled and reset.
At T1 the following protection elements will pickup:
• Ground Distance Zone 1, 2, and 3 for an AG fault
• Ground Distance Zone 2 and 3 for a BG fault
• Phase Distance Zone 2 and 3 for an AB fault
At T1 the phase selector will determine the fault is type ABG. This response is independent from the distance elements –
the Phase Selector sees two forward faults.
At T2 the following protection elements will pickup:
• Ground Distance Zone 1, 2, and 3 for an AG fault
At T2 the phase selector will determine the fault is type AG. The reverse BG fault is likely to be ignored.
If a one-bit channel is used, terminal T1 will trip three poles but terminal T2 will trip phase A only, (see the Tables below)
which is undesirable.

9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.1 APPLICATION GUIDELINES 9.1.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter provides general application guidelines for stepped distance, overcurrent and pilot protection. Where relevant,
design details and performance characteristics of the D60 are given to facilitate the process of setting the relay for a given
application.

9.1.2 IMPACT OF THE USE OF MEMORY POLARIZATION

As explained in THEORY OF OPERATION chapter, the D60 uses a memorized positive sequence voltage as a polarizing
signal in order to achieve dependable operation for forward faults and secure non-operation for reverse faults.
The dynamic shift of the characteristic ensures improved directionality, but it also means that if a backup function is
required for a reverse fault on the bus, then it is appropriate to reverse the zone 4 so that a time delayed backup function
may be obtained. As mentioned earlier, it may be beneficial to also avoid extremely large reach settings by setting a remote
backup so that it is reverse looking. This strategy can be beneficial if the reduced reach enhances the discrimination
between the load and fault conditions.

9.1.3 HIGH SET OVERCURRENT ELEMENTS

Especially at low SIR values, fast fault clearance times may be seen as extremely important, both from system stability, and
from equipment damage viewpoints. The high-set overcurrent element, when set appropriately, can be extremely useful in
achieving these goals. It helps the setting calculations if the system impedances are reasonably well known.
The overcurrent pick up should be set to the greater of the following values:
1. The maximum infeed seen by the relay, for a close in reverse fault.
2. The maximum fault level seen by the relay for a fault at 100% of the protected line.
The maximum error of the phase overcurrent elements is below 2%. A safety factor of 1.25 should be used to account for
relay errors and system impedance uncertainty.
If CT saturation is an issue such as close to a generation where long lasting dc components are likely to saturate the CTs,
it should be noted that the IOC elements require 1.33 cycle of data to operate for a multiple of pickup of 1.01. For higher
multiples of pickup, the relation between the multiple of pickup and the amount of data required for operation before com-
plete CT saturation is approximately linear. For example, for a multiple of pickup of 4, approximately 1.33 / 4 = 0.332 of
power cycle is required by the phase IOC to operate. The above information should not be confused with the operating
time, which includes some inherent delays such as a trip rated output contact.

9.2 DISTANCE ELEMENTS (STEPPED DISTANCE SCHEME) 9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS

9.2 DISTANCE ELEMENTS (STEPPED DISTANCE SCHEME) 9.2.1 PHASE DISTANCE

a) PHASE CURRENT SUPERVISION AND USAGE OF THE FUSE FAILURE ELEMENT


The phase-to-phase (delta) current is used to supervise the phase distance elements, primarily to ensure that in a de-ener-
gized state the distance elements will not be picked up due to noise or induced voltages, on the line.
However, this supervision feature may also be employed to prevent operation under fuse failure conditions. This obviously
requires that the setting must be above maximum load current and less than the minimum fault conditions for which opera-
tion is expected. This potential problem may be avoided by the use of a separate fuse fail function, which means that the
phase current supervision can be set much lower, typically 2 times the capacitance charging current of the line.
The usage of the fuse fail function is also important during double-contingency events such as an external fault during fuse
fail conditions. The current supervision alone would not prevent maloperation in such circumstances.
It must be kept in mind that the Fuse Failure element provided on the D60 needs some time to detect fuse fail conditions.
This may create a race between the instantaneous Zone 1 and the Fuse Failure element. Therefore, for maximum security,
it is recommended to both set the current supervision above the maximum load current and use the Fuse Failure function.
The current supervision prevents maloperation immediately after the fuse fail condition giving some time for the Fuse Fail-
ure element to take over and block the distance elements permanently. This is of a secondary importance for time-delayed
Zones 2 through 4 as the Fuse Failure element has some extra time for guaranteed operation. The current supervision may
be set below the maximum load current for the time delayed zones.
Blocking distance elements during fuse fail conditions may not be acceptable in some applications and/or under some pro-
tection philosophies. Applied solutions may vary from not using the Fuse Failure element for blocking at all; through using it
and modifying – through FlexLogic™ and multiple setting groups mechanisms – other protection functions or other relays to
provide some protection after detecting fuse fail conditions and blocking the distance elements; to using it and accepting
the fact that the distance protection will not respond to subsequent internal faults until the problem is addressed.
To be fully operational, the Fuse Failure element must be enabled, and its output FlexLogic™ operand must be indi-
cated as the blocking signal for the selected protection elements.
NOTE
For convenience, the current supervision threshold incorporates the square root of 3 factor.

b) PHASE DISTANCE ZONE 1


As typically used for direct tripping, the Zone 1 reach must be chosen so that it does not extend beyond the far end (s) of
the protected line. The Zone 1 provides nominally instantaneous protection for any phase fault within a pre-determined dis-
tance from the relay location. To ensure that no overreach occurs, typically requires a setting of 80 to 90% of the line length,
which covers CT and VT errors, relay inaccuracy and transient overreach as well as uncertainty in the line impedance for
each phase, although transposition may minimize this latter concern. The total relay inaccuracy including both steady state
and transient overreach even when supplied from CVTs under the Source Impedance Ratios of up to 30, is below 5%.

c) PHASE DISTANCE ZONE 2


The Zone 2 is an overreaching element, which essentially covers the final 10 to 20% of the line length with a time delay.
The additional function for the Zone 2 is as a timed backup for faults on the remote bus. Typically the reach is set to 125%
of the positive sequence impedance of the line, to ensure operation, with an adequate margin, for a fault at 100% of the line
length. The necessary time delay must ensure that coordination is achieved with the clearance of a close-in fault on the
next line section, including the breaker operating time.
Typically the Zone 2 time delay would be 0.2 to 0.6 sec., although this may have to be reviewed more carefully if a short line
terminates on the remote bus because the two Zone 2 elements may overlap and therefore not coordinate satisfactorily.

d) PHASE DISTANCE ZONE 3


9 If a remote backup philosophy is followed, then the reach of this element must be set to account for any infeed at the
remote bus, plus the impedance of the longest line which terminates on this remote bus. The time delay must coordinate
with other time-delayed protections on any remote line. Circuit loading limitations created by a long zone reach may be
overcome by using lens or quadrilateral characteristics and/or a load encroachment supervising characteristic. Consider-
ation should also be given to a situation where the load impedance may enter into the relay characteristic for a time longer
than the chosen time delay, which could occur transiently during a system power swing. For this reason the Power Swing
Blocking function should be used.

9-2 D60 Line Distance Relay GE Power Management


9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.2 DISTANCE ELEMENTS (STEPPED DISTANCE SCHEME)

e) PHASE DISTANCE ZONE 4


A further contribution to remote backup, the reach of this element must be set to account for any infeed at the remote bus.
The time delay must coordinate with other time-delayed protections on the next line. The use of a lens characteristic or the
load encroachment element may be advantageous if load limits are a problem.
To avoid extremely large reach settings, the D60 has the ability to implement any element so that it is reverse looking,
which then can provide a back up for the longest line terminated on the local bus. This strategy can be beneficial if the
reduced reach helps discrimination between the load and fault conditions, but must be implemented at both ends of the
protected line.

9.2.2 GROUND DISTANCE

a) NEUTRAL CURRENT SUPERVISION


The current supervision for the ground distance elements responds to an internally calculated neutral current (3 x I_0). The
setting for this element should be based on twice the zero-sequence line capacitance current or the maximum zero-
sequence unbalance under maximum load conditions. This element should not be used to prevent an output when the load
impedance is inside the distance characteristic on a steady state basis.

b) GROUND DISTANCE ZONE 1


The Zone 1 reach must be set so that nominally instantaneous operation does not extend beyond the end of the protected
line. However this may be somewhat more complicated than for the phase elements, because of zero sequence mutual
induction with an adjacent parallel line, possibly carried on the same tower, which can be out of service and grounded at
multiple points. A fault beyond 100% of the protected line may cause overreach unless the reach is reduced significantly,
sometimes as low as 65% of the line length. If the line being protected does not have a significant interaction with an adja-
cent circuit, then the typical 80% setting may be used. If there is significant mutual coupling between the parallel lines, then
the mutual compensation feature of the ground distance elements can be used instead of a drastic reduction in the reach.
However, even in this case, there is more uncertainty as compared with the phase distance elements because the zero-
sequence impedance of the line and thus the zero-sequence-compensating factors may vary significantly due to weather
and other conditions.

c) GROUND DISTANCE ZONE 2


To ensure that the Zone 2 can see 100% of the line, inter-circuit mutual effects must be considered, as they can contribute
to a significant under-reach. Typically this may occur on double circuit lines, when both lines may carry the same current.
An analytical study should be carried out to determine the appropriate reach setting.
The main purpose of this element is to operate for faults beyond the reach of the local Zone 1 element, and therefore a time
delay must be used similar to the phase fault case.

d) GROUND DISTANCE ZONE 3


This remote back up function must have a reach which is set to account for any infeed at the remote bus, plus the imped-
ance of the longest line which terminates on this remote bus. Similar to the phase fault case, a Zone 3 element must be
time coordinated with timed clearances on the next section.

e) GROUND DISTANCE ZONE 4


As a further contribution to a remote backup philosophy, the reach of this element must be set to account for any infeed at
the remote bus. The time delay must coordinate with other time-delayed protections on the next line. The use of a lens
characteristic or load encroachment element may be advantageous if load limits are a problem. To avoid extremely large
reach settings the D60 has the ability to implement any element, so that it is reverse looking. This strategy can be beneficial
if the reduced reach enhances the discrimination between the load and fault conditions. It should be recognized however 9
that, if adopted, this approach must be implemented at both ends of the protected line.

9.3 PROTECTION SIGNALING SCHEMES 9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS

9.3 PROTECTION SIGNALING SCHEMES 9.3.1 DESCRIPTION

The D60 includes five common pilot-aided schemes:


• direct under-reaching transfer trip (DUTT)
• permissive under-reaching transfer trip (PUTT)
• permissive over-reaching transfer trip (POTT)
• hybrid permissive over-reaching transfer trip (HYB-POTT)
• directional comparison blocking

9.3.2 DIRECT UNDER-REACHING TRANSFER TRIP (DUTT)

This scheme uses an under-reaching Zone 1 distance element to key a transfer trip signal to the remote end(s), where on
receipt, the DUTT pilot scheme operates without any additional supervision.
For proper operation of the scheme the Zone 1 phase and ground distance elements must be enabled, configured and set
per rules of distance relaying.
The scheme generates an output operand (DUTT TX) that is used to transmit the signal to the remote end. Choices of com-
munications channel include Remote Inputs/Outputs and telecommunications interfaces. When used with telecommunica-
tions facilities the output operand should be assigned to operate an output contact connected to key the transmitter at the
interface.
Note that the same protection signaling may be used by a breaker failure scheme, in which case the signal can be sealed
in by breaker fail for a time longer than the auto-reclose “reclaim” time which then prevents auto-reclose when not required.
A provision for an optional seal-in of the send signal is made to cover those situations where PLC (Power Line Carrier) sig-
naling is used and the signal must be transmitted in a potentially noisy situation due to the fault.
The scheme output operand (DUTT OP) must be configured to interface with other relay functions, output contacts in par-
ticular, in order to make the scheme fully operational. Typically, the output operand should be programmed to initiate a trip,
breaker fail, and auto-reclose, and drive a user-programmable LED as per user application.

9.3.3 PERMISSIVE UNDER-REACHING TRANSFER TRIP (PUTT)

This scheme uses an under-reaching Zone 1 distance element to key a transfer trip signal to the remote end where it is
supervised by the over-reaching Zone 2 distance elements.
For proper operation of the scheme the Zone 1 and 2 phase and ground distance elements must be enabled, configured
and set per rules of distance relaying.
The scheme generates an output operand (PUTT TX) that is used to transmit the signal to the remote end. Choices of com-
munications channel include Remote Inputs/Outputs and telecommunications interfaces. When used with telecommunica-
tions facilities the output operand should be assigned to operate an output contact connected to key the transmitter at the
interface.
The PUTT RX PICKUP DELAY timer can be used to ride through spurious PLC receive signals.
The scheme output operand (PUTT OP) must be configured to interface with other relay functions, output contacts in par-
ticular, in order to make the scheme fully operational. Typically, the output operand should be programmed to initiate a trip,

9 9.3.4 PERMISSIVE OVERREACHING TRANSFER TRIP (POTT)

This scheme is intended for two-terminal line applications only.


This scheme uses an over-reaching Zone 2 distance element to essentially compare the direction to a fault at both the ends
of the line.
Ground directional overcurrent functions available in the relay can be used in conjunction with the Zone 2 distance element
to key the scheme and initiate its operation. This provides increased coverage for high-resistance faults.

9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.3 PROTECTION SIGNALING SCHEMES

Good directional integrity is the key requirement for an over-reaching forward-looking protection element used to supple-
ment Zone 2. Even though any FlexLogic™ operand could be used for this purpose allowing the user to combine
responses of various protection elements, or to apply extra conditions through FlexLogic™ equations, this extra signal is
primarily meant to be the output operand from either the Negative-Sequence Directional IOC or Neutral Directional IOC.
Both of these elements have separate forward (FWD) and reverse (REV) output operands. The forward indication should
be used (NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD or NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD).
An important consideration is when one of the line terminals is open. It is then necessary to identify this condition and
arrange for a continuous sending of the permissive signal or use a slower but more secure echo feature to send a signal to
the other terminal, which is producing the fault infeed. With any echo scheme however, a means must be provided to avoid
a permanent lock up of the transmit/receive loop. The echo co-ordination (ECHO DURATION) and lock-out (ECHO LOCK-
OUT) timers perform this function by ensuring that the permissive signal is echoed once for a guaranteed duration of time
before going to a lockout for a settable period of time.
It should be recognized that in ring bus or breaker and a half situations, it may be the line disconnect or a combination of
the disconnect and/or the breaker(s) status that is the indication that the terminal is open.
The POTT RX PICKUP DELAY timer is included in the permissive receive path to ride through spurious receive outputs
that may be produced during external faults, when power line carrier is utilized as the communications medium.
No current reversal logic is included for the overreaching phase and ground distance elements, because long reaches are
not usually required for two terminal lines. A situation can occur however, where the ground distance element will have an
extended reach. This situation is encountered when it is desired to account for the zero sequence inter-circuit mutual cou-
pling. This is not a problem for the ground distance elements in the D60 which do have a current reversal logic built into
their design as part of the technique used to improve ground fault directionality.
Unlike the distance protection elements the ground directional overcurrent functions do not have their reach well defined,
therefore the current reversal logic is incorporated for the extra signal supplementing Zone 2 in the scheme. The transient
blocking approach for this POTT scheme is to recognize that a permissive signal has been received and then allow a setta-
ble time TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY for the local forward looking directional element to pick up.
The scheme generates an output operand (POTT TX) that is used to transmit the signal to the remote end. Choices of com-
munications channel include Remote Inputs/Outputs and telecommunications interfaces. When used with telecommunica-
tions facilities the output operand should be assigned to operate an output contact connected to key the transmitter at the
interface. Power Line Carrier (PLC) channels are not recommended for this scheme since the PLC signal can be inter-
rupted by a fault.
For proper operation of the scheme the Zone 2 phase and ground distance elements must be enabled, configured and set
per rules of distance relaying. The LINE PICKUP element should be enabled, configured and set properly to detect line-
end-open/weak-infeed conditions.
If used by this scheme, the selected ground directional overcurrent function(s) must be enabled, configured and set accord-
ingly The output operand from the scheme (POTT OP) must be configured to interface with other relay functions, output
contacts in particular, in order to make the scheme fully operational. Typically, the output operand should be programmed to
initiate a trip, breaker fail, and auto-reclose, and drive a user-programmable LED as per user application.

9.3.5 HYBRID POTT SCHEME (HYB-POTT)

Generally, this scheme uses an over-reaching Zone 2 distance element to essentially compare the direction to a fault at
both ends of the line. Ground directional overcurrent functions available in the relay can be used in conjunction with the
Zone 2 distance element to key the scheme and initiate its operation. This increases the coverage for high-resistance
faults.
The scheme is intended for three-terminal applications and for weak-infeed conditions. As a long reach of the overreaching
distance element may be required for three-terminal applications, transient blocking logic is provided for both distance and
ground directional overcurrent elements. In order to cope with weak-infeed conditions an echo feature is made available. 9
By default the scheme uses the reverse-looking Zone 4 distance element to identify reverse faults. Additionally, reverse-
looking ground directional overcurrent functions can be used in conjunction with Zone 4.
For proper operation of the scheme the Zone 2 and 4 phase and ground distance elements must be enabled, configured
and set per rules of distance relaying. The LINE PICKUP element should be enabled, configured and set properly to detect
line-end-open/weak-infeed and undervoltage conditions.

If used by this scheme, the selected ground directional overcurrent function(s) must be enabled, configured and set accord-

The scheme generates an output operand (HYBRID POTT TX) that is used to transmit the signal to the remote end.
Choices of communications channel include Remote Inputs/Outputs and telecommunications interfaces. When used with
telecommunications facilities the output operand should be assigned to operate an output contact connected to key the
transmitter at the interface.
For more application recommendation refer to the POTT scheme.
The output operand from the scheme (HYBRID POTT OP) must be configured to interface with other relay functions, output
contacts in particular, in order to make the scheme fully operational. Typically, the output operand should be programmed to
initiate a trip, breaker fail, and auto-reclose, and drive a user-programmable LED as per user application.

9.3.6 DIRECTIONAL COMPARISON BLOCKING SCHEME

Generally, the scheme compares the direction to a fault at both ends of the line. Unlike the permissive schemes, the
absence of a blocking signal permits operation of the scheme. Consequently, the scheme is biased toward dependability
and requires an “on/off” type of signaling.
By default this scheme uses only a forward-looking over-reaching Zone 2 distance element to identify forward faults.
Ground directional overcurrent functions available in the relay can be used in conjunction with the Zone 2 distance element
to increase the coverage for high-resistance faults.
By default the scheme uses only a reverse-looking Zone 4 distance element to identify reverse faults. Ground directional
overcurrent functions available in the relay can be used in conjunction with the Zone 4 distance element for better time and
sensitivity coordination.
For proper operation of the scheme the Zone 2 and 4 phase and ground distance elements must be enabled, configured
and set per rules of distance relaying.
If used by this scheme, the selected ground directional overcurrent function(s) must be enabled, configured and set accord-
ingly.
The scheme generates output operands (BLOCKING SCHEME TX INIT and BLOCKING SCHEME TX STOP) that are
used control the transmission of signals to the remote end. Choices of communications channel include Remote Inputs/
Outputs and telecommunications interfaces. When used with telecommunications facilities the output operand should be
assigned to operate an output contact connected to key the transmitter at the interface.
A blocking scheme may be preferred over a Hybrid-POTT scheme, because of shorter reach settings for the Zone 2 ele-
ments. This follows from the fundamental difference that all zone 2 elements are required to see an internal fault for the
POTT approach, under all system conditions, which in turn, means that the reversed Zone 4 block initiate elements must
also have an increased reach. A blocking scheme on the other hand, can have much shorter Zone 2 reach settings if
sequential clearance can be accepted. The simple rule to ensure that all faults can be cleared, is for each terminal to have
a reach setting equal to the distance to the tap plus twice the distance from the tap to the remote terminal.
The Zone 2 element must have a coordinating timer BLOCK RX CO-ORD PKP DELAY, to ensure that the blocking signal is
received for all external faults that are within the set reach of the local overreaching Zone 2.
Transient blocking logic is implemented via timer TRANS BLOCK, which continues to send a blocking signal for a settable
time TRANS BLOCK RESET DELAY, if it was being sent for at least 30 ms during the initial reverse fault set via TRANS
BLOCK PICKUP DELAY.
The output operand from the scheme (BLOCKING SCHEME OP) must be configured to interface with other relay functions,
output contacts in particular, in order to make the scheme fully operational. Typically, the output operand should be pro-
grammed to initiate a trip, breaker fail, and auto-reclose, and drive a user-programmable LED as per user application.

9.4 APPLICATIONS ON SERIES COMPENSATED LINES 9.4.1 INTRODUCTION

For reasons described in the THEORY OF OPERATION chapter it is recommended to apply a combination of distance,
ground directional overcurrent and high-set overcurrent functions for protection of series compensated lines.
The setting rules described below must take into account variety of system configurations, particularly a status of series
capacitors (in-service, by-passed). Either the worst-case topology shall be considered or - if possible - adaptive settings
shall be applied though the MULTIPLE SETTING GROUPS mechanism.
A line compensating capacitor is a bank of three physical capacitors and their overvoltage protecting devices (air gaps and/
or MOVs). If none of the MOV/gaps conducts any significant current, the positive-, negative- and zero-sequence reactance
of the three-phase bank equal the reactance of the actual (phase) capacitors. Under asymmetrical conditions, however,
such as a single line to ground fault, when only one MOV/gap may operate, the series capacitor bank would create extra
(series) asymmetry in addition to the fault (shunt) asymmetry. The positive-, negative- and zero-sequence impedances will
differ from each other and will not equal the impedance of the phase capacitors. Moreover, there may be mutual coupling
between the sequence networks representing the series capacitor bank. This makes analytical analysis of fault conditions
very burdensome. For setting calculations, however, it is justified to assume the zero-, positive- and negative-sequence
reactance of the capacitor bank equal the reactance of the actual (phase) capacitors. This represents a worst-case low-cur-
rent fault scenario, when the steady-state effects of series compensation are most weighty.

9.4.2 DISTANCE

Traditionally, the reach setting of an underreaching distance function shall be set based on the net inductive impedance
between the potential source of the relay and the far-end busbar, or location for which the zone must not overreach. Faults
behind series capacitors on the protected and adjacent lines need to be considered for this purpose. For further illustration
a sample system shown in the figure below is considered.

F2 A B B A F1 BUS

Protected Line
Figure 9–1: SAMPLE SERIES COMPENSATED SYSTEM
Assuming 20% security margin, the underreaching zone shall be set as follows.
At the SENDING BUS one must consider an external fault at F1 as the 5 Ω capacitor would contribute to the overreaching
effect. Any fault behind F1 is less severe as extra inductive line impedance increases the apparent impedance:
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 – 3 – 5) = 1.6 Ω if the line-side (B) VTs are used
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 – 4 – 3 – 5) = –1.6 Ω if the bus-side (A) VTs are used
The negative value means that an underreaching zone cannot be used as the circuit between the potential source of the
relay and an external fault for which the relay must not pick-up, is overcompensated, i.e. capacitive.
At the RECEIVING BUS, one must consider a fault at F2:
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 – 4 – 2) = 3.2 Ω if the line-side (B) VTs are used 9
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 – 4 – 3 – 2) = 0.8 Ω if the bus-side (A) VTs are used
Practically, however, to cope with the effect of sub-synchronous oscillations, one may need to reduce the reach even more.
As the characteristics of sub-synchronous oscillations are in complex relations with fault and system parameters, no solid
setting recommendations are given with respect to extra security margin for sub-synchronous oscillations. It is strongly rec-
ommended to use a power system simulator to verify the reach settings or to use an adaptive D60 feature for dynamic
reach control.
If the adaptive reach control feature is used, the PHS DIST Z1 VOLT LEVEL setting shall be set accordingly.

GE Power Management D60 Line Distance Relay 9-7


9.4 APPLICATIONS ON SERIES COMPENSATED LINES 9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS

This setting is a sum of the overvoltage protection levels for all the series capacitors located between the relay potential
source and the far-end busbar, or location for which the zone must not overreach. The setting is entered in pu of the phase
VT nominal voltage (RMS, not peak value).
If a minimum fault current level (phase current) is causing a voltage drop across a given capacitor that prompts its air gap
to flash over or its MOV to carry practically all the current, then the series capacitor shall be excluded from the calculations
(the capacitor is immediately by-passed by its overvoltage protection system and does not cause any overreach problems).
If a minimum fault current does not guarantee an immediate capacitor by-pass, then the capacitor must be included in the
calculation: its overvoltage protection level, either air gap flash-over voltage or MOV knee-point voltage, shall be used
(RMS, not peak value).
Assuming none of the series capacitors in the sample system is guaranteed to get by-passed, the following calculations
apply:
For the SENDING BUS: 0.5 + 0.7 = 1.2 pu if the line-side (B) VTs are used
0.6 + 0.5 + 0.7 = 1.8 pu if the bus-side (A) VTs are used
For the RECEIVING BUS: 0.6 + 0.5 = 1.1 pu if the line-side (B) VTs are used
0.6 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 1.6 pu if the bus-side (A) VTs are used

9.4.3 GROUND DIRECTIONAL OVERCURRENT

Ground directional overcurrent function (negative-sequence or neutral) uses an offset impedance to guarantee correct fault
direction discrimination. The following setting rules apply.
1. If the net impedance between the potential source and the local equivalent system is inductive, then there is no need
for an offset. Otherwise, the offset impedance shall be at least the net capacitive reactance.
2. The offset cannot be higher than the net inductive reactance between the potential source and the remote equivalent
system. For simplicity and extra security, the far-end busbar may be used rather than the remote equivalent system.
As the ground directional functions are meant to provide maximum fault resistance coverage, it is justified to assume that
the fault current is very low and none of the series capacitors is guaranteed to get by-passed. Consider settings of the neg-
ative-sequence directional overcurrent protection element for the SAMPLE SERIES-COMPENSATED SYSTEM.
SENDING BUS relay, bus-side VTs:
• Net inductive reactance from the relay into the local system = –2 + 3 = 1 Ω > 0; there is no need for offset.
• Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = –4 + 10 – 3 = 3 Ω; the offset cannot be higher than 3 Ω.
• It is recommended to use 1.5 Ω offset impedance.
SENDING BUS relay, line-side VTs:
• Net inductive reactance from relay into local system = –2 + 3 – 4 = –3 Ω < 0; an offset impedance ≥3 Ω must be used.
• Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = 10 – 3 = 7 Ω; the offset cannot be higher than 7 Ω.
• It is recommended to use 5 Ω offset impedance.
RECEIVING BUS relay, bus-side VTs:
• Net inductive reactance from relay into local system = –5 + 7 = 2 Ω > 0; there is no need for offset.
• Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = –3 + 10 – 4 = 3 Ω; the offset cannot be higher than 3 Ω.
• It is recommended to use 1.5 Ω offset impedance.
RECEIVING BUS relay, line-side VTs:
9 • Net inductive reactance from relay into local system = –3 – 5 + 7 = –1 Ω < 0; an offset impedance ≥1 Ω must be used.
• Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = 10 – 4 = 6 Ω; the offset cannot be higher than 6 Ω.
• It is recommended to use 3.5 Ω offset impedance.

APPENDIX B B.1 OVERVIEW

APPENDIX B MODBUS® RTU PROTOCOLB.1 OVERVIEW B.1.1 INTRODUCTION

The UR series relays support a number of communications protocols to allow connection to equipment such as personal
computers, RTUs, SCADA masters, and programmable logic controllers. The Modicon Modbus RTU protocol is the most
basic protocol supported by the UR. Modbus is available via RS232 or RS485 serial links or via ethernet (using the Mod-
bus/TCP specification). The following description is intended primarily for users who wish to develop their own master com-
munication drivers and applies to the serial Modbus RTU protocol. Note that:
• The UR always acts as a slave device, meaning that it never initiates communications; it only listens and responds to B
requests issued by a master computer.
• For Modbus®, a subset of the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) protocol format is supported that allows extensive monitor-
ing, programming, and control functions using read and write register commands.

B.1.2 PHYSICAL LAYER

The Modbus® RTU protocol is hardware-independent so that the physical layer can be any of a variety of standard hard-
ware configurations including RS232 and RS485. The relay includes a faceplate (front panel) RS232 port and two rear ter-
minal communications ports that may be configured as RS485, fiber optic, 10BaseT, or 10BaseF. Data flow is half-duplex in
all configurations. See Chapter 3: HARDWARE for details on wiring.
Each data byte is transmitted in an asynchronous format consisting of 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and possibly 1 parity
bit. This produces a 10 or 11 bit data frame. This can be important for transmission through modems at high bit rates (11 bit
data frames are not supported by many modems at baud rates greater than 300).
The baud rate and parity are independently programmable for each communications port. Baud rates of 300, 1200, 2400,
4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 33600, 38400, 57600, or 115200 bps are available. Even, odd, and no parity are avail-
able. Refer to the COMMUNICATIONS section of the SETTINGS chapter for further details.
The master device in any system must know the address of the slave device with which it is to communicate. The relay will
not act on a request from a master if the address in the request does not match the relay’s slave address (unless the
address is the broadcast address – see below).
A single setting selects the slave address used for all ports, with the exception that for the faceplate port, the relay will
accept any address when the Modbus® RTU protocol is used.

B.1.3 DATA LINK LAYER

Communications takes place in packets which are groups of asynchronously framed byte data. The master transmits a
packet to the slave and the slave responds with a packet. The end of a packet is marked by ‘dead-time’ on the communica-
tions line. The following describes general format for both transmit and receive packets. For exact details on packet format-
ting, refer to subsequent sections describing each function code.

Table B–1: MODBUS PACKET FORMAT


DESCRIPTION SIZE
SLAVE ADDRESS 1 byte
FUNCTION CODE 1 byte
DATA N bytes
CRC 2 bytes
DEAD TIME 3.5 bytes transmission time

SLAVE ADDRESS
This is the address of the slave device that is intended to receive the packet sent by the master and to perform the desired
action. Each slave device on a communications bus must have a unique address to prevent bus contention. All of the
relay’s ports have the same address which is programmable from 1 to 254; see Chapter 5 for details. Only the addressed
slave will respond to a packet that starts with its address. Note that the faceplate port is an exception to this rule; it will act
on a message containing any slave address.

GE Power Management D60 Line Distance Relay B-1


B.1 OVERVIEW APPENDIX B

A master transmit packet with a slave address of 0 indicates a broadcast command. All slaves on the communication link
will take action based on the packet, but none will respond to the master. Broadcast mode is only recognized when associ-
ated with FUNCTION CODE 05h. For any other function code, a packet with broadcast mode slave address 0 will be
ignored.
FUNCTION CODE
This is one of the supported functions codes of the unit which tells the slave what action to perform. See the SUPPORTED
FUNCTION CODES section for complete details. An exception response from the slave is indicated by setting the high
B order bit of the function code in the response packet. See the EXCEPTION RESPONSES section for further details.
DATA
This will be a variable number of bytes depending on the function code. This may include actual values, settings, or
addresses sent by the master to the slave or by the slave to the master.
CRC
This is a two byte error checking code. The RTU version of Modbus® includes a 16 bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC-16)
with every packet which is an industry standard method used for error detection. If a Modbus® slave device receives a
packet in which an error is indicated by the CRC, the slave device will not act upon or respond to the packet thus preventing
any erroneous operations. See the CRC-16 ALGORITHM section for a description of how to calculate the CRC.
DEAD TIME
A packet is terminated when no data is received for a period of 3.5 byte transmission times (about 15 ms at 2400 bps, 2 ms
at 19200 bps, and 300 µs at 115200 bps). Consequently, the transmitting device must not allow gaps between bytes longer
than this interval. Once the dead time has expired without a new byte transmission, all slaves start listening for a new
packet from the master except for the addressed slave.

APPENDIX B B.1 OVERVIEW

B.1.4 CRC-16 ALGORITHM

The CRC-16 algorithm essentially treats the entire data stream (data bits only; start, stop and parity ignored) as one contin-
uous binary number. This number is first shifted left 16 bits and then divided by a characteristic polynomial
(11000000000000101B). The 16 bit remainder of the division is appended to the end of the packet, MSByte first. The
resulting packet including CRC, when divided by the same polynomial at the receiver will give a zero remainder if no trans-
mission errors have occurred. This algorithm requires the characteristic polynomial to be reverse bit ordered. The most sig-
nificant bit of the characteristic polynomial is dropped, since it does not affect the value of the remainder.

B.2 FUNCTION CODES B.2.1 SUPPORTED FUNCTION CODES

Modbus® officially defines function codes from 1 to 127 though only a small subset is generally needed. The relay supports
some of these functions, as summarized in the following table. Subsequent sections describe each function code in detail.

B.2.2 FUNCTION CODE 03H/04H: READ ACTUAL VALUES OR SETTINGS

This function code allows the master to read one or more consecutive data registers (actual values or settings) from a relay.
Data registers are always 16 bit (two byte) values transmitted with high order byte first. The maximum number of registers
that can be read in a single packet is 125. See the section MODBUS® MEMORY MAP for exact details on the data regis-
ters.
Since some PLC implementations of Modbus® only support one of function codes 03h and 04h, the relay interpretation
allows either function code to be used for reading one or more consecutive data registers. The data starting address will
determine the type of data being read. Function codes 03h and 04h are therefore identical.
The following table shows the format of the master and slave packets. The example shows a master device requesting 3
register values starting at address 4050h from slave device 11h (17 decimal); the slave device responds with the values 40,
300, and 0 from registers 4050h, 4051h, and 4052h, respectively.

APPENDIX B B.3 FILE TRANSFERS

B.3 FILE TRANSFERS B.3.1 OBTAINING UR FILES USING MODBUS® PROTOCOL

The UR relay has a generic file transfer facility, meaning that you use the same method to obtain all of the different types of
files from the unit. The Modbus registers that implement file transfer are found in the "Modbus File Transfer (Read/Write)"
and "Modbus File Transfer (Read Only)" modules, starting at address 3100 in the Modbus Memory Map. To read a file from
the UR relay, use the following steps:
1. Write the filename to the "Name of file to read" register using a write multiple registers command. If the name is shorter
than 80 characters, you may write only enough registers to include all the text of the filename. Filenames are not case B
sensitive.
2. Repeatedly read all the registers in "Modbus File Transfer (Read Only)" using a read multiple registers command. It is
not necessary to read the entire data block, since the UR relay will remember which was the last register you read. The
"position" register is initially zero and thereafter indicates how many bytes (2 times the number of registers) you have
read so far. The "size of..." register indicates the number of bytes of data remaining to read, to a maximum of 244.
3. Keep reading until the "size of..." register is smaller than the number of bytes you are transferring. This condition indi-
cates end of file. Discard any bytes you have read beyond the indicated block size.
4. If you need to re-try a block, read only the "size of.." and "block of data", without reading the position. The file pointer is
only incremented when you read the position register, so the same data block will be returned as was read in the pre-
vious operation. On the next read, check to see if the position is where you expect it to be, and discard the previous
block if it is not (this condition would indicate that the UR relay did not process your original read request).
The UR relay retains connection-specific file transfer information, so files may be read simultaneously on multiple Modbus
connections.
a) OBTAINING FILES FROM THE UR USING OTHER PROTOCOLS
All the files available via Modbus may also be retrieved using the standard file transfer mechanisms in other protocols (for
example, TFTP or MMS).

b) COMTRADE, OSCILLOGRAPHY AND DATA LOGGER FILES


Oscillography and data logger files are formatted using the COMTRADE file format per IEEE PC37.111 Draft 7c (02 Sep-
tember 1997). The files may be obtained in either text or binary COMTRADE format.

c) READING OSCILLOGRAPHY FILES


Familiarity with the oscillography feature is required to understand the following description. Refer to the OSCILLOGRA-
PHY section in the SETTINGS chapter for additional details.
The Oscillography_Number_of_Triggers register is incremented by one every time a new oscillography file is triggered
(captured) and cleared to zero when oscillography data is cleared. When a new trigger occurs, the associated oscillography
file is assigned a file identifier number equal to the incremented value of this register; the newest file number is equal to the
Oscillography_Number_of_Triggers register. This register can be used to determine if any new data has been captured by
periodically reading it to see if the value has changed; if the number has increased then new data is available.
The Oscillography_Number_of_Records setting specifies the maximum number of files (and the number of cycles of data
per file) that can be stored in memory of the relay. The Oscillography_Available_Records register specifies the actual num-
ber of files that are stored and still available to be read out of the relay.
Writing ‘Yes’ (i.e. the value 1) to the Oscillography_Clear_Data register clears oscillography data files, clears both the
Oscillography_Number_of_Triggers and Oscillography_Available_Records registers to zero, and sets the
Oscillography_Last_Cleared_Date to the present date and time.
To read binary COMTRADE oscillography files, read the following filenames:
• OSCnnnn.CFG
• OSCnnn.DAT
Replace "nnn" with the desired oscillography trigger number. For ASCII format, use the following file names
• OSCAnnnn.CFG
• OSCAnnn.DAT

GE Power Management D60 Line Distance Relay B-7


B.3 FILE TRANSFERS APPENDIX B

d) READING DATA LOGGER FILES


Familiarity with the data logger feature is required to understand this description. Refer to the DATA LOGGER section of
Chapter 5 for details. To read the entire data logger in binary COMTRADE format, read the following files.
• datalog.cfg
• datalog.dat
To read the entire data logger in ASCII COMTRADE format, read the following files.
B • dataloga.cfg
• dataloga.dat
To limit the range of records to be returned in the COMTRADE files, append the following to the filename before writing it:
• To read from a specific time to the end of the log: <space> startTime
• To read a specific range of records: <space> startTime <space> endTime
• Replace <startTime> and <endTime> with Julian dates (seconds since Jan. 1 1970) as numeric text.

e) READING EVENT RECORDER FILES


To read the entire event recorder contents in ASCII format (the only available format), use the following filename:
• EVT.TXT
To read from a specific record to the end of the log, use the following filename:
• EVTnnn.TXT (replace "nnn" with the desired starting record number)

f) READING FAULT REPORT FILES


Fault report data has been available via the UR file retrieval mechanism since firmware version 2.00. The file name is
faultReport#####.htm. The ##### refers to the fault report record number. The fault report number is a counter that
indicates how many fault reports have ever occurred. The counter rolls over at a value of 65535. Only the last ten fault
reports are available for retrieval; a request for a non-existent fault report file will yield a null file. The current value fault
report counter is available in “Number of Fault Reports” Modbus register at location 0x3020.
For example, if 14 fault reports have occurred then the files faultReport5.htm, faultReport6.htm, up to
faultReport14.htm are available to be read. The expected use of this feature has an external master periodically poll-
ing the “Number of Fault Reports' register. If the value changes, then the master reads all the new files.
The contents of the file is in standard HTML notation and can be viewed via any commercial browser.

B.3.2 MODBUS® PASSWORD OPERATION

The COMMAND password is set up at memory location 4000. Storing a value of "0" removes COMMAND password protec-
tion. When reading the password setting, the encrypted value (zero if no password is set) is returned. COMMAND security
is required to change the COMMAND password. Similarly, the SETTING password is set up at memory location 4002.
These are the same settings and encrypted values found in the SETTINGS Ö PRODUCT SETUP ÖØ PASSWORD SECURITY
menu via the keypad. Enabling password security for the faceplate display will also enable it for Modbus, and vice-versa.
To gain COMMAND level security access, the COMMAND password must be entered at memory location 4008. To gain
SETTING level security access, the SETTING password must be entered at memory location 400A. The entered SETTING
password must match the current SETTING password setting, or must be zero, to change settings or download firmware.
COMMAND and SETTING passwords each have a 30-minute timer. Each timer starts when you enter the particular pass-
word, and is re-started whenever you “use” it. For example, writing a setting re-starts the SETTING password timer and
writing a command register or forcing a coil re-starts the COMMAND password timer. The value read at memory location
4010 can be used to confirm whether a COMMAND password is enabled or disabled (0 for Disabled). The value read at
memory location 4011 can be used to confirm whether a SETTING password is enabled or disabled.
COMMAND or SETTING password security access is restricted to the particular port or particular TCP/IP connection on
which the entry was made. Passwords must be entered when accessing the relay through other ports or connections, and
the passwords must be re-entered after disconnecting and re-connecting on TCP/IP.

A FlexCurve is an array of 120 consecutive data points (x, y) which F070


are interpolated to generate a smooth curve. The y-axis is the user
HEX2 2 BYTES - 4 ASCII DIGITS
defined trip or operation time setting; the x-axis is the pickup ratio
and is pre-defined. Refer to format F119 for a listing of the pickup
ratios; the enumeration value for the pickup ratio indicates the off-

APPENDIX C C.1 UCA/MMS OVERVIEW

APPENDIX C UCA/MMSC.1 UCA/MMS OVERVIEW C.1.1 UCA

The Utility Communications Architecture (UCA) version 2 represents an attempt by utilities and vendors of electronic
equipment to produce standardized communications systems. There is a set of reference documents available from the
Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and vendors of UCA/MMS software libraries that describe the complete capabili-
ties of the UCA. Following, is a description of the subset of UCA/MMS features that are supported by the UR relay. The ref-
erence document set includes:
• Introduction to UCA version 2
• Generic Object Models for Substation & Feeder Equipment (GOMSFE)
• Common Application Service Models (CASM) and Mapping to MMS
• UCA Version 2 Profiles
These documents can be obtained from ftp://www.sisconet.com/epri/subdemo/uca2.0. It is strongly recommended that all
those involved with any UCA implementation obtain this document set.
C
COMMUNICATION PROFILES:
The UCA specifies a number of possibilities for communicating with electronic devices based on the OSI Reference Model.
The UR relay uses the seven layer OSI stack (TP4/CLNP and TCP/IP profiles). Refer to the "UCA Version 2 Profiles" refer-
ence document for details.
The TP4/CLNP profile requires the UR relay to have a network address or Network Service Access Point (NSAP) in order
to establish a communication link. The TCP/IP profile requires the UR relay to have an IP address in order to establish a
communication link. These addresses are set in the SETTINGS Ö PRODUCT SETUP ÖØ COMMUNICATIONS ÖØ NETWORK
menu. Note that the UR relay supports UCA operation over the TP4/CLNP or the TCP/IP stacks and also supports opera-
tion over both stacks simultaneously. It is possible to have up to two simultaneous connections. This is in addition to DNP
and Modbus/TCP (non-UCA) connections.

C.1.2 MMS

The UCA specifies the use of the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) at the upper (Application) layer for trans-
fer 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. Data can be grouped to form objects and be mapped to MMS ser-
vices. Refer to the “GOMSFE” and “CASM” reference documents for details.
SUPPORTED OBJECTS:
The "GOMSFE" document describes a number of communication objects. Within these objects are items, some of which
are mandatory and some of which are optional, depending on the implementation. The UR relay supports the following
GOMSFE objects:
• DI (device identity) • PHIZ (high impedance ground detector)
• GCTL (generic control) • PIOC (instantaneous overcurrent relay)
• GIND (generic indicator) • POVR (overvoltage relay)
• GLOBE (global data) • PTOC (time overcurrent relay)
• MMXU (polyphase measurement unit) • PUVR (under voltage relay)
• PBRL (phase balance current relay) • PVPH (volts per hertz relay)
• PBRO (basic relay object) • ctRATO (CT ratio information)
• PDIF (differential relay) • vtRATO (VT ratio information)
• PDIS (distance) • RREC (reclosing relay)
• PDOC (directional overcurrent) • RSYN (synchronizing or synchronism-check relay)
• PFRQ (frequency relay) • XCBR (circuit breaker)

UCA data can be accessed through the "UCADevice" MMS domain.

GE Power Management D60 Line Distance Relay C-1


C.1 UCA/MMS OVERVIEW APPENDIX C

PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATION:
Peer-to-peer communication of digital state information, using the UCA GOOSE data object, is supported via the use of the
UR Remote Inputs/Outputs feature. This feature allows digital points to be transferred between any UCA conforming
devices.
FILE SERVICES:
MMS file services are supported to allow transfer of Oscillography, Event Record, or other files from a UR relay.
COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE UTILITIES:
The exact structure and values of the implemented objects implemented can be seen by connecting to a UR relay with an
MMS browser, such as the “MMS Object Explorer and AXS4-MMS DDE/OPC” server from Sisco Inc.
NON-UCA DATA:

C The UR relay makes available a number of non-UCA data items. These data items can be accessed through the "UR" MMS
domain. UCA data can be accessed through the "UCADevice" MMS domain.

a) PROTOCOL IMPLEMENTATION AND CONFORMANCE STATEMENT (PICS)


The UR relay functions as a server only; a UR relay cannot be configured as a client. Thus, the following list of sup-
ported services is for server operation only:

C.1.3 UCA REPORTING

A built-in TCP/IP connection timeout of two minutes is employed by the UR to detect "dead" connections. If there is no data
traffic on a TCP connection for greater than two minutes, the connection will be aborted by the UR. This frees up the con-
nection to be used by other clients. Therefore, when using UCA reporting, clients should configure BasRCB objects such
that an integrity report will be issued at least every 2 minutes (120000 ms). This ensures that the UR will not abort the con-
nection. If other MMS data is being polled on the same connection at least once every 2 minutes, this timeout will not apply.

Explanation of ‘Sometimes’: Object 12 points are mapped to UR Virtual Inputs. The persistence of Virtual Inputs is
determined by the VIRTUAL INPUT X TYPE settings. Both “Pulse On” and “Latch On” operations perform the same func-
tion in the UR; that is, the appropriate Virtual Input is put into the “On” state. If the Virtual Input is set to "Self-Reset",
it will reset after one pass of FlexLogic™. The On/Off times and Count value are ignored. "Pulse Off" and "Latch Off"
operations put the appropriate Virtual Input into the "Off" state. "Trip" and "Close" operations both put the appropriate
Virtual Input into the "On" state.

E.2 DNP IMPLEMENTATION TABLE E.2.1 IMPLEMENTATION TABLE

The following table identifies the variations, function codes, and qualifiers supported by the UR in both request messages
and in response messages. For static (non-change-event) objects, requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be
responded with qualifiers 00 or 01. Static object requests sent with qualifiers 17 or 28 will be responded with qualifiers 17 or
28. For change-event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.

Note 1: A Default variation refers to the variation responded when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. Type 30 (Analog
Input) data is limited to data that is actually possible to be used in the UR, based on the product order code. For example, Signal
Source data from source numbers that cannot be used is not included. This optimizes the class 0 poll data size.
Note 2: For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are only responded when a request is sent with qualifiers 17 or 28, respec-
tively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be responded with qualifiers 00 or 01 (for change-
event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.)
Note 3: Cold restarts are implemented the same as warm restarts – the UR is not restarted, but the DNP process is restarted.

Note 1: A Default variation refers to the variation responded when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. Type 30 (Analog
Input) data is limited to data that is actually possible to be used in the UR, based on the product order code. For example, Signal
Source data from source numbers that cannot be used is not included. This optimizes the class 0 poll data size.
Note 2: For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are only responded when a request is sent with qualifiers 17 or 28, respec-
tively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be responded with qualifiers 00 or 01 (for change-
event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.)
Note 3: Cold restarts are implemented the same as warm restarts – the UR is not restarted, but the DNP process is restarted.

E.3.4 ANALOG INPUTS

The following table lists Analog Inputs (Object 30). It is important to note that 16-bit and 32-bit variations of Analog Inputs
are transmitted through DNP as signed numbers. Even for analog input points that are not valid as negative values, the
maximum positive representation is 32767. This is a DNP requirement.
The deadbands for all Analog Input points are in the same units as the Analog Input quantity. For example, an Analog Input
quantity measured in volts has a corresponding deadband in units of volts. This is in conformance with DNP Technical Bul-
letin 9809-001 Analog Input Reporting Deadband. Relay settings are available to set default deadband values according to
data type. Deadbands for individual Analog Input Points can be set using DNP Object 34.
When using the UR in DNP systems with limited memory, the ANALOG INPUT POINTS LIST below may be replaced with
a user-definable list. This user-definable list uses the same settings as the Modbus User Map and can be configured with
the MODBUS USER MAP settings. When used with DNP, each entry in the Modbus User Map represents the starting Mod-
bus address of a data item available as a DNP Analog Input point. To enable use of the Modbus User Map for DNP Analog
Input points, set the USER MAP FOR DNP ANALOGS setting to Enabled (this setting is in the PRODUCT SETUP ÖØ
COMMUNICA-
TIONS ÖØ
DNP PROTOCOL menu). The new DNP Analog points list can be checked via the "DNP Analog Input Points List"
webpage, accessible from the "Device Information menu" webpage.
After changing the USER MAP FOR DNP ANALOGS setting, the relay must be powered off and then back on for the set-
ting to take effect.
NOTE

Only Source 1 data points are shown in the following table. If the NUMBER OF SOURCES IN ANALOG LIST setting is increased,
data points for subsequent sources will be added to the list immediately following the Source 1 data points.
Units for Analog Input points are as follows:
• Current: A • Frequency: Hz
• Voltage: V • Angle: degrees
E
• Real Power: W • Ohm Input: Ohms
• Reactive Power: var • RTD Input: degrees C
• Apparent Power: VA
• Energy Wh, varh
