L. Protection Relay (Main Relay) Test:

1. Test Objective:
This test is aimed to test function of main relay according to approved final setting for each one,
but here we will quickly review some main Protection functions which are usually available at
the approved final settings.

2. Required Equipment:

FREJA 300
Multi-meter

3. Mechanical Checks and Visual Inspection:

Check for physical damage or defects.


Check tightness of all connections.
Check case Earthing.
Check indications and LEDs
Check test switch for correct operation either shorting CT if exist or isolation of binary
inputs/outputs.

4. Burden Test:

Adjust voltage source at the nominal voltage value (to Make the Protection Device ON)
Record reading of Ammeter in case of all binary output deactivated and in case of binary output
activation.
Calculate burden in case of normal operation (all binary output deactivated) and abnormal
operation (in case of binary output activated) by multiplying voltage and reading of ammeter.
Compare the result with the value at the relay manual.

5. Test Connections and Procedures:


Binary input/output check
To test binary input: Apply rated binary input DC voltage on each input and verify the status of
the input through relay’s software or from relay’s LCD [if exist].
To test binary output: Using relay’s software you can force binary output to close for certain
time and using multi-meter you can measure binary output contact resistance it should be
around zero which indicates binary output being closed.
Measurements
Set CT ratio and VT ratio that should be used in the relay as per the schematic.
By using FREJA we inject secondary rated voltage and secondary rated current
Record the primary value reading at relay’s screen
Protection Function:
For every Protection Function these two tests mainly will be done,
• Pick up & Drop off: to confirm that the function operate at the correct adjusted value (with
accuracy for that as per the relay technical manual).

• Timing Test: to confirm the function operate at the correct adjusted time after detecting the
fault (with accuracy as per the relay technical manual)

6. Protection Function Samples:


Below are samples of the Protection Functions that are usually used in the different protection
relays Transmission/ Transformers Substations:

Under voltage (27):


▪ When Voltage goes below some value it is required to isolate the system as Induction
Motors are the highest affected by this under voltage condition.
▪ To test this function: Inject three phase balanced voltage with rated value, gradually
decrease each phase separately until output contact closed which indicates the value of
under voltage
▪ Record the above value of under voltage and compare to set value, calculate the error and
compare with manual acceptance limits.
▪ For Timing Test: take output contact of under voltage to FREJA then inject voltage below
than under voltage setting then record the value of time that appeared on FREJA screen.

Over voltage (59):


▪ When voltage goes over some settings it is required to isolate the system as the high
voltage can cause Break down on the insulations.
▪ To test the function: Inject three phase balanced voltage with rated value, gradually
increase each phase separately until output contact closed which indicates the value of over
voltage
▪ Record the above value of over voltage and compare to set value, calculate the error and
compare with manual acceptance limits.
▪ For Timing Test: take output contact of over voltage to FREJA then inject voltage greater
than under voltage setting then record the value of time that appeared on FREJA screen.

Instantaneous over-current (50)


▪ When the current going through some part of the circuit exceeds some very high value it is
required to isolate the fault to avoid the heating of that current to the current carrying
conductors
▪ To Test this function Pick up and Drop off: gradually increase secondary current to each
phase separately in steps, until the LED which you used to indicate instantaneous
over-current to operate this is considered Pick up value. The current must be reduced in the
same manner until the LED reset and then this considered as Drop off value.
▪ Limits: calculate the error and compare the error value with acceptable tolerance error that
exists in manual of relay.
▪ Timing test: set each phase separately to amount of current equal to 2*2Is, then inject this
value of current and measure the time taken to close binary output of the relay which
indicates that ins. Over-current trip.
▪ Limits: calculate the error and compare the error value with acceptable tolerance error that
exists in manual of relay.

Time delayed over-current (51):


▪ When the current going through some part of the circuit exceeds some high value it is
required to isolate the fault but after giving some coordination time to the downstream
protection to operate first to avoid cutting supply over all the system for no need

indicates that time delayed Over-current trip.
▪ Limits: calculate the error and compare the error value with acceptable tolerance error that
exist in manual of relay

Instantaneous earth fault (50N)


▪ When there is a single phase to earth fault usually its current flow in the Earthing point of
Transformer Neutral so it can be used when in very high value to detect a fault in the
system that needs to be isolated instantaneously.
▪ To Test this Function Pick up and Drop off: gradually increase secondary current to each
phase separately in steps, until the LED which you used to indicate inst. Earth fault to
operate this is considered Pick up value. The current must be reduced in the same manner
until the LED reset and then this considered as Drop off value.
▪ Limits: calculate the error and compare the error value with acceptable tolerance error that
exists in manual of relay.

exist in manual of relay.

Time delayed earth fault (51N):


▪ When there is a single phase to earth fault usually its current flow in the Earthing point of
Transformer Neutral so it can be used when in high value to detect a fault in the system that
needs to be isolated with time coordination with the downstream system.
▪ To Test this function, pick up and Drop off: gradually increase secondary current to each
phase separately in steps, until the LED which you used to indicate inst. Earth fault to
operate this is considered Pick up value. The current must be reduced in the same manner
until the LED reset and then this considered as Drop off value.

3phase healthy voltage for both incomers (Incomer-1 & Incomer-2) through MCBs.
• Close both incomer-1 and incomer-2 and leave the bus section in the open position.
• Close the 4 MCBs that simulate Line-1, Bus-1, Line-2 and Bus-2 voltage to the relay.
• Make the selector switch of the ATS mode on Automatic.
• Open the MCBs that connect the Bus and Line voltage of the Bus-1 to the relay.
• The relay will wait for some time and then it will give open command for incomer-1.
• Then the relay will wait for some time more and give close command to the bus section.
• Now close the MCB of the Line-1 voltage (simulation to energize the incomer-1).
• Now the relay will check the synchronization between line-1 and line-2 voltages.
• Then make the selector switch of the ATS mode on Manual.
• Select either Incomer-2 or Bus Section (through the selector switch) which you need to open
after you close the incomer-1.
• Now give manual close command to the incomer-1 circuit breaker.
• If step no.9 achieved and the relay will enable the close command to incomer-1 circuit breaker.
• Then the relay will give an open command to the selected circuit breaker.
• Do the same steps for Incomer-2.
