Safety information

Strictly follow the company and international safety regulations.


Working in a high voltage environment requires serious approch to
aviod human injuries and damage to equipment

Do not touch any circuitry during operation. Potentially lethal


voltages and currents are present

Avoid to touching the circuitry when covers are removed. The IED
contains electirc circuits which can be damaged if exposed to static
electricity. Lethal high voltage circuits are also exposed when covers
are removed

Using the isolated test pins when measuring signals in open circuitry.
Potentially lethal voltages and currents are present

Never connect or disconnect wire and/or linker to or from IED during


normal operation. Dangerous voltages and currents are present.
Operation may be interrupted and IED and measuring circuitry may
be damaged

Always connect the IED to protective earth regardless of the


operating conditions. Operating the IED without proper earthing may
damage both IED and measuring circuitry and may cause injuries in
case of an accident.

Do not disconnect the secondary connection of current transformer


without short-circuiting the transformer’s secondary winding.
Operating a current transformer with the secondary winding open will
cause a high voltage that may damage the transformer and may
cause injuries to humans.

Do not remove the screw from a powered IED or from an IED


connected to power circuitry. Potentially lethal voltages and currents
are present

Using the certified conductive bags to transport PCBs (modules).


Handling modules with a conductive wrist strap connected to
protective earth and on an antistatic surface. Electrostatic discharge
may cause damage to the module due to electronic circuits are
sensitive to this phenomenon
Do not connect live wires to the IED, internal circuitry may be
damaged

When replacing modules using a conductive wrist strap connected to


protective earth. Electrostatic discharge may damage the modules
and IED circuitry

When installing and commissioning, take care to avoid electrical


shock if accessing wiring and connection IEDs

Changing the setting value group will inevitably change the IEDs
operation. Be careful and check regulations before making the
change

3 Disturbance recorder

3.1 Introduction

To get fast, complete and reliable information about fault current, voltage,
binary signal and other disturbances in the power system is very important.
This is accomplished by the disturbance recorder function and facilitates a
better understanding of the behavior of the power system and related
primary and secondary equipment during and after a disturbance. An
analysis of the recorded data provides valuable information that can be
used to explain a disturbance, basis for change of IED setting plan,
improvement of existing equipment etc.

The disturbance recorder, always included in the IED, acquires sampled


data from measured analogue quantities, calculated analogue quantity,
binary input and output signals.

3.2 Fault recording

The IED can save the latest 40 fault records in case of power
disconnection, which can be read via the IED operation interface or
communication port. The fault record consists of the following information:

 Fault time: date and time

 Event list: operative element and time

 Running data: current, voltage, frequency and phase angle

 Operation setting

 IED operation mode

4 Self-supervision function
4.1 Introduction

The IED can be self diagnosis and self monitoring operation is achieved by
means of soft hardware self-test and monitoring, to ensure the high
reliability of operation through the Power on. Self check includes the key
components of hardware (such as analog input , Binary output, RAM,
ROM), hardware assisted components (such as communication interface)
and the important operating parameters (such as the set value, the soft
switching plate), in addition, device built in two level software monitor
which is used to monitor the operation conditions of the software. When
the device detectsany is abnormal, it will record the corresponding
abnormal events and drive the related signal node and the LED indicating
lamp, for the key abnormal, device will lock protection function and
important binary output , to prevente misoperation.

5 Time synchroniation function

5.1 Introduction

Use the time synchronization source selector to select a common source


of absolute time for the IED when it is a part of a protection system. This
makes comparison of events and disturbance data between all IEDs in a
SA system possible.

5.2 Synchronization principle

Time definitions

The error of a clock is the difference between the actual time of the clock,
and the time the clock is intended to have. The rate accuracy of a clock is
normally called the clock accuracy and means how much the error
increases, i.e. how much the clock gains or loses time. A disciplined clock
is a clock that “knows” its own faults and tries to compensate for them, i.e.
a trained clock.

Synchronization principle

From a general point of view synchronization can be seen as a hierarchical


structure. A module is synchronized from a higher level and provides
synchronization to lower levels.

A module is said to be synchronized when it periodically receives


synchronization messages from a higher level. As the level decreases, the
15
Chaper 2 General IED application

accuracy of the synchronization decreases as well. A module can have


several potential sources of synchronization, with different maximum
errors, which gives the module the possibility to choose the source with the
best quality, and to adjust its internal clock from this source. The maximum
error of a clock can be defined as a function of:

 The maximum error of the last used synchronization message

 The time since the last used synchronization message

 The rate accuracy of the internal clock in the module.

The time synchronization system support three methods, IRIG-B ,


IEEE1588 protocol and network protocol .

5.2.1 Synchronization from IRIG

The built in GPS clock module receives and decodes time information from
the global positioning system. The module is located on the CPU Module.
The GPS interfaces to the IED supply two possible synchronization
methods, IRIGB and PPS (or PPM).

5.2.2 Synchronization via PPS or PPM

The IED accepts PPS or PPM to the GPS interfaces on the CPU Module.
These pulses can be generated from e.g. station master clock. If the
station master clock is not synchronized from a world wide source, time will
be a relative time valid for the substation. Both positive and negative edges
on the signal can be accepted. This signal is also considered as a fine
signal.

5.2.3 Synchronization via SNTP

SNTP provides a “Ping-Pong” method of synchronization. A message is


sent from an IED to an SNTP-server, and the SNTP-server returns the
message after filling in a reception time and a transmission time. SNTP
operates via the normal Ethernet network that connects IEDs together in
an IEC61850 network. For SNTP to operate properly, there must be a
SNTP-server present, preferably in the same station. The SNTP
synchronization provides an accuracy that will give 1ms accuracy for
binary inputs. The IED itself can be set as a SNTP-time server.

16
Chaper 2 General IED application

6 Setting

6.1 Introduction

Settings are divided into separate lists according to different functions. The
setting consists of two parts -setting list and communication parameters.

6.2 Operation principle

The setting procedure can be ended at any the time by the key “SET” or
“QUIT”. If the key “SET” is pressed, the display shows the content of
“Select”. The range of setting zone is from 1 to 16. After confirming with the
setting zone-key “SET”, those new settings will be valid. If key “QUIT” is
pressed instead, all modifications which have been changed will be
ignored.

17
Chaper 2 General IED application

7 Authorization
To safeguard the interests of customers, both the IED and the tools that
are accessing the IED are protected, subject of authorization handling. The
concept of authorization, as it is implemented in the IED and the
associated tools is based on the following facts:

 There are two types of points of access to the IED:

 local, through the local HMI

 remote, through the communication ports

 There are different levels (or types) of guest, super user and
protectionengineerthat can access or operate different areasof the
IED and tools functionality.

Chaper 3 Over current protection

1 Overcurrent protection

1.1 Introduction

The non-directional overcurrent elements can be applied as backup


protection functions in various applications including line and transformer
protection in systems with radial nature and those which are supplied from
a single source. The directional overcurrent protection allows the
application of the IED also in systems where protection coordination
depends on both the magnitude of the fault current and the direction of
power flow to the fault location, for instance in case of parallel lines or
transformers, or in a loop configuration. Main features of the overcurrent
protection are as follows:

 Overcurrent have four stages, 1st stage is definite time stage, 2nd , 3rd
and 4th stages can be set definite or inverse time stage by control
word “OC2 Inv On” “OC3 Inv On” and “OC4 Inv On” .

 11 kinds of IEC and ANSI inverse time characteristic curvesas the


standard curves for 2ndand 3rd stages. And the standard curves as
well as optional user defined characteristic for 4th stage.

 Settable directional element characteristic angle to satisfy the different


network conditions and applications

 Each stage can be set individually as directional/non-directional . It can


be set “Forward” or “ Reverse” by control word.

 Each stage can be set individually for inrush restraint

 Cross blocking function for inrush detection

 Settable maximum inrush current

 The second,third,fourth stage can be set individually to alarm or trip

 VT secondary circuit supervision for directional protection. Once VT


failure happens, the directional stage can be set to be blocked or to be
non-directional

 Undervoltage or negative voltage criteria checking (selectable),


blocking of the definite time stages is possible when the measured
voltage exceeds the threshold

20
Chaper 3 Over current protection

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Time characteristics

Overcurrent have four stages, 1st stage is definite time stage, 2nd 3rd and 4th
stages can be set definite or inverse time stage by control word “OC2 Inv
On” “OC3 Inv On” and “OC4 Inv On”

Each stage can operate in conjunction with the integrated inrush restraint
and directional functions and operate based on measured phase current.In
addition, an undervoltage control feature is provided which can be used for
definite overcurrent stages.

Furthermore, each stage is independent from each other and can be


combined as desired.

Pickup value for the definite stage can be set in setting value. Each phase
current is compared with the corresponding setting value with delay time. If
currents exceed the associated pickup value, after expiry of the time delay,
the trip command or alarm signal is issued.The dropout value of the
definite stages is approximately equal to the system setting “High Relay
Ret”of the pickup value for I/In ≥ 0.5. The condition for delay time starting is
expressed in the following formula:

IΦ > Iset (Φ = a, b, c)

Equation 3-1

The delay time can be set for each definite stage individually in setting.
After the delay time elapsed, a trip command or alarm signal is issued.

For the delay time of inverse time characteristic, which is calculated here
based on the type of the set characteristic, the magnitude of the current
and a time multiplier, both ANSI and IEC based standard curves are
available, and any user-defined characteristic can be defined using
following formula:

= ( )K_OC
( )

Equation 3-2

21
Chaper 3 Over current protection

where:

A_OC: Time factor for inverse time stage

B_OC: Delay time for inverse time stage

P_OC: Index for inverse time stage

K_OC: Time multiplier

A, P and B are the characteristic parameters for IDMTL curves. These


characteristic parameters have been defined for each curve in IEC and
ANSI standards. Table 3-1 provides a summary of the parameter values
for 11 typical curves.

11 ANSI DEFINITE INV. 0.4797 1.5625 0.21359

By applying setting of these coefficients, the IED calculates the tripping or


alarming time from the measured current in each phase separately. Once
the calculated time has been elapsed, the trip signal or alarm signal is
issued.

22
Chaper 3 Over current protection

1.2.2 Inrush restraint function

The protection IED may detect large magnetizing inrush currents during
transformer energizing. In addition to considerable unbalance fundamental
current, inrush current comprises large second harmonic current which
does not appear in short circuit current. Therefore, the inrush current may
affect the protection functions which operate based on the fundamental
component of the measured current. Accordingly, inrush restraint logic is
provided to prevent overcurrent protection from maloperation.

The inrush restraint feature operates based on evaluation of the 2nd


harmonic content which is present in measured current. The inrush
condition is recognized when the ratio of second harmonic current to
fundamental component exceeds the corresponding setting value for each
phase. The setting value is applicable for both definite time stage and
inverse time stage. The inrush restraint feature will be performed as soon
as the ration exceeds the set threshold.

Furthermore, by recognition of the inrush current in one phase, it is


possible to set the protection in a way that not only the phase with the
considerable inrush current, but also the other phases of the overcurrent
protection are blocked for a certain time. This is achieved by
cross-blocking feature integrated in the IED.

The inrush restraint function has a maximum inrush current setting. Once
the measuring current exceeds the setting, the overcurrent protection will
not be blocked any longer.

1.2.3 Low voltage component

It is possible to set the protection in a way that the definite stages of


overcurrent element would operate only when at least one phase-to-phase
voltage falls below than the low voltage setting “U_OC_UnBlk”. This
component can be used to prevent any malfunction of the overcurrent
element during reverse charging of electro motors. The low voltage
component can be set for each definite stage by using dedicated binary
settings “OC1 V_Blk On”, “OC2 V_Blk On”, “OC3 V_Blk On”, “OC4 V_Blk
On”.

The logic of inverse time don’t judge undervoltage component when 2nd 3rd
and 4thstages set inverse time

23
Chaper 3 Over current protection

The connected voltages to device may correspond to three phase to earth


voltages VA-N, VB-N, VC-N or only one phase to earth voltage or phase to
phase voltage by using dedicated binary setting “1Ph V Connect”. In case
of “1Ph V Connect” is set “0”, three phase to phase voltages are detected,
if “1Ph V Connect” is set “1”, any one phase to phase voltage should be
checked.

1.2.4 Direction determination feature

The direction detection is performed by determining the position of current


vector in directional characteristic. In other word, it is done by comparing
phase angle between the fault current and the reference voltage.

The integrated directional function can be applied to each stage of


overcurrent element via dedicated binary settings. These binary settings
include “OC1 Dir On”, “OC2 Dir On”, “OC3 Dir On”, ”OC4 Dir On”.
Furthermore, the directional orientation can be set individually for each
stage of the overcurrent elements. This can be performed by using binary
settings “OC1 Dir FWD”, “OC2 Dir FWD”, “OC3 Dir FWD”, “OC4 Dir FWD”.
The possible settings for these binary settings comprise “1-toward forward”
and “0-toward reverse”.

Basically, the direction determination is performed by determining the


phase angle between the fault current and a reference voltage. Direction of
a phase-directional element is detected by means of a cross-polarized
voltage. It means that the fault current of the corresponding phase is used
together with the healthy phase-to-phase voltage to determine direction of
fault current. This takes effect to all three phases. Table 3-2 shows the
assignment of the measured values for determination of fault direction in
case of various types of pickups for overcurrent protection function.

Table 3-2 Voltage and current measurement used for direction determination

Phase Current Voltage

A Ia U bc
B Ib U ca
C Ic U ab

As can be seen from Table 3-2, the healthy voltages are used in direction
determination. This allows for a correct direction determination even if the
fault voltage has collapsed entirely because of a single-phase short-line
fault. With three-phase short-line faults, memory voltage values from three
last cycles are used to clearly determine the direction, if the magnitudes of
24
Chaper 3 Over current protection

the measured voltages are not sufficient.

In a single-phase fault, the cross-polarized voltage (reference voltage) is


90°out of phase with the fault voltage. With phase-to-phase faults, the
position of the reference voltage changes up to 30°, depending on the
degree of collapse in the fault voltages. In order to satisfy different network
conditions and applications, the reference voltage can be rotated by
adjustable angle “Angle_OC” between 0° and 90°. It should be noted that
the setting affect all the directional stages of overcurrent element. In this
way, the vector of rotated reference voltage can be closely adjusted to the
vector of fault current in order to provide the best possible result for the
direction determination. The rotated reference voltage defines the forward
and reverse area. The forward area is in range of ±85°around the rotated
reference voltage. If the vector of the fault current is in this area, the device
detects forward direction. Figure 6-15 shows an example of direction
determination for a fault in phase A. As can be seen from the figure 6-15,
fault current Ia lags from fault voltage Ua by angel 90-Φd, Φd is the setting
value of “Angle_OC”. The reference voltage Ubc is rotated by angle of Φd
to be closely matched to Ia. Furthermore, the forward area is depicted in

During direction decision by directional function and voltage decision, a VT


Fail condition (a short circuit or broken wire in the voltage transformer's
secondary circuit or operation of the voltage transformer fuse) may result
in false or undesired trip or alarm by directional overcurrent stages or
overcurrent stages with voltage decision. In such situation, it is possible to
select operation status of those overcurrent stages which operate in
conjunction with directional or low voltage feature by using binary setting to
be blocked or keep them in operational state with no direction and low
voltage decision. When binary setting “Blk Fun_VTFail” is set to “0”,
corresponding overcurrent stages would not judge direction and low
voltage at VT failure. When the binary setting “Blk Fun_VTFail” is set t0 “1”,
no operation is possible by the overcurrent protection elements. It is noted
that binary setting “VT Fail On” affects all the stages of overcurrent
element. For instance, by applying setting “Blk Fun_VTFail”, all the three
stages of the overcurrent element will remain operative without direction
determination and low voltage feature in case of any fault in secondary
circuit of voltage transformer. On the other hand, setting “Blk Fun_VTFail”
makes them blocked.

1 Earth fault protection

1.1 Introduction

The non-directional earth fault elements can be applied as backup protection


functions in various applications including line and transformer protection in
systems with radial nature and those which are supplied from a single source.
The directional earth fault protection allows the application of the IED also in
systems where protection coordination depends on both the magnitude of the
earth fault current and the direction of power flow to the fault location, for
instance, in case of parallel lines or transformers, or in a loop configuration.
Main features of the earth fault are as follows:

 Earth fault protection have four stages, 1st stage is definite time stage, 2nd ,
3rd , and 4th stages can be set definite or inverse time stage by control
word “EF2 Inv On” “EF3 Inv On” and “EF4 Inv On” .

 11 kinds of IEC and ANSI inverse time characteristic curves as the


standard curves for 2ndand 3rd stages. And the standard curves as well as
optional user defined characteristic are provided by 4th stage.

 Zero sequence directional element.

 Negative sequence directional element is applied as a complement to


zero sequence directional element. It can be enabled/disabled by setting

 Each stage can be set individually as directional/non-directional

 Settable directional element characteristic angle to satisfy the different


network conditions and applications

 Each stage can be set individually for inrush restraint

 Settable maximum inrush current

 Inrush restraint function adopting 2 nd harmonic measured phase or earth


current (settable)

 The second,third and fourth stage can be set individually to alarm or trip

 VT secondary circuit supervision for directional protection function. Once


VT failure happens, the directional stage can be set to be blocked or to
be non-directional
36
Chapter 4 Earth fault protection

 Zero-sequence current is calculated by summation of 3 phase currents or


measured from earth phase CT selectable

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Time characteristic

Earth fault protection have four stages, 1st stage is definite time stage, 2 nd 3rd
and 4th stages can be set definite or inverse time stage by control word “EF2
Inv On” “EF3 Inv On” and “EF4 Inv On”

Each stage can operate in conjunction with the integrated inrush restraint and
directional functions and operate based on measured phase current

The earth fault protection can operate with the measured or calculated zero
sequence current (zero-sequence current IN measured from earth phase CT
or zero-sequence current 3I0 calculated by the summation of three phase
currents, 3I0=IA+IB+IC). These two types of measured quantity can be enabled
or disabled via binary setting”EF 3I0 Calculated”. If setting “EF 3I0 Calculated”
is set as “0”, the function will operate based on the measured zero-sequence
current, whereas, the “EF 3I0 Calculated”is set as “1”, the zero-sequence
current is calculated from the summation of three phase currents.

Furthermore, each stage is independent from each other and can be


combined as desired.

Pickup value for the definite stage can be set in setting value. The measured
or calculated zero-sequence current is compared with the corresponding
setting value with delay time. If zero-sequence current exceed the associated
pickup value, after expiry of the time delay, trip command is issued. The
condition for delay time start is expressed in the following formula

3I0 > 3I0set

Equation 4-1

The time delay can be set for each definite stage individually in setting. After
the delay time elapsed, trip command or alarm signal is issued. The drop out
value of the definite stages is approximately equal to the system setting “High
Relay Ret” of the pickup value for 3I0/In≥0.5.

The time delay of inverse time characteristic is calculated based on the type

37
Chapter 4 Earth fault protection

of the set characteristic, the magnitude of the current and a time multiplier.
For the inverse time characteristic, both ANSI and IEC based standard curves
are available, and any user-defined characteristic can be defined using the
following equation:

= ( E )K_EF
( )
E

Equation 4-2

where:

A_EF: Time factor for inverse time stage

B_EF: Delay time for inverse time stage

P_EF: index for inverse time stage

K_EF: Time multiplier

The IDMT curve of EF is same as over current protection of curve.

The time is set to count up for a user-defined time delay. The time delay can
be set for each definite stage individually through corresponding settings.
After the user-defined time delays elapsed, a trip command is issued.

1.2.2 Inrush restraint

The protection IED may detect large magnetizing inrush currents during
transformer energizing. In addition to considerable unbalance fundamental
current, inrush current comprises large second harmonic current which does
not appear in short circuit current. Therefore, the inrush current may affect the
protection functions which operate based on the fundamental component of
the measured current. Accordingly, inrush restraint logic is provided to
prevent earth fault protection from maloperation.

The integrated earth fault protection may detect large magnetizing inrush
currents when a power transformer installed at downstream path is energized.
The inrush current may be several times of the nominal current, and may last
from several tens of milliseconds to several seconds. Inrush current
comprises second harmonic as well as a considerable fundamental
component. It is possible to apply the inrush restraint feature separately to
each definite stage and inverse time-current stage of earth fault element by

38
Chapter 4 Earth fault protection

using binary setting “EF1 2H_Blk On”, “EF2 2H_Blk On” , “EF3 2H_Blk On”
and “EF4 2H_Blk On”. By applying setting “1” to each of the mentioned binary
setting, no trip command or alarm signal would be possible by corresponding
stage, if an inrush condition is detected. Since the inrush current contains a
relatively large second harmonic component which is nearly absent in fault
current, the inrush restraint operates based on the evaluation of the second
harmonic content which is present in the phase currents.

Generally, inrush restraint for earth fault protection is performed based on the
second harmonic contents of three phase currents. However, it is possible to
use the IED only for earth fault protection and therefore, the phase currents
may be not connected to the IED. In such cases, if the binary setting of “EF
Chk I02/I01” is set as “1”, second harmonic content of zero sequence current
is considered if the zero sequence current is measured from neutral CT. As
mentioned previously, the binary setting of “3I0 Measured” is enabled for this
situation. So, the inrush condition is recognized if the ratio of second
harmonic content of measured zero sequence current to its fundamental
component exceeds corresponding setting value.

Furthermore, if the fundamental component of zero sequence current


exceeds the upper limit value for unblocking, the earth fault protection will not
be blocked any longer.

On the contrary, if binary setting of “EF Chk I02/I01” is set as “0”, the inrush
condition is recognized if the ratio of second harmonic content in each phase
current to their fundamental component exceeds setting value.

Furthermore, if the fundamental component of each phase current exceeds


the upper limit value for unblocking, the earth fault protection will not be
blocked any longer.

1.2.3 Direction determination feature

The integrated zero sequence directional function can be applied to each


stage of earth fault element via dedicated binary setting. These binary
settings include “EF1 Dir On”, “EF2 Dir On”, “EF3 Dir On” and “EF4 Dir On”.
Furthermore, the directional orientation can be set individually for each stage
of the earth fault elements. This can be performed by using binary settings
“EF1 Dir FWD”, “EF2 Dir FWD”, “EF3 Dir FWD” and “EF4 Dir FWD”. The
possible settings for these binary settings comprise “1-toward forward” and
“0-toward reverse”.

39
Chapter 4 Earth fault protection

1.2.3.1 Zero-sequence directional element

In this method, the direction determination is performed by comparing the


zero sequence system quantities. In current path, the measured IN current is
valid, when the neutral current is connected to the IED and the binary setting
“EF 3I0 Calculated” is set as “0”. Otherwise, the IED calculates quantity 3I0
from the summation of the three phase currents when the binary setting “EF
3I0 Calculated” isSet as “1”, In the voltage path, the displacement voltage V N
is used as reference voltage, if it is connected, and the binary setting “EF 3U0
Calculated” is set as “0”. Otherwise, the IED calculates the zero sequence
voltage 3V0 from the summation of three phase voltages if binary setting “EF
3U0 Calculated” is set as “1”. Direction determination can be performed by
the IED for 3V0 quantity having a magnitude fall to 2V. Contrary to the
directional phase elements, which work based on the un-faulted voltage as
reference voltage, for the earth fault protection direction element, the zero
sequence voltage is used as the reference voltage. Depending on the
connection of the voltage transformer (setting “EF 3U0 Calculated”), VN or 3V0
(3V0=VA+VB+VC) is applied.

In order to satisfy different network conditions and applications, the reference


voltage can be rotated by adjustable angle between 0°and 90°in clockwise
direction (negative sign). It should be noted that the settings are applied for all
the directional stages of earth fault element. In this way, the vector of rotated
reference voltage can be closely adjusted to the vector of fault current -3I0
which lags the fault voltage 3V 0 by the fault angle Φ0. This will provide the
best detection result for the direction determination. The rotated reference
voltage defines the forward and reverse area. The forward area is in range of
±80°around the rotated reference voltage. If the vector of the fault current -3I0
is in this area, the fault condition is detected as forward direction. The
zero-sequence direction detection characteristic is shown in

Figure 4-1.

1.2.3.2 Negative-sequence directional element

In this method, direction determination is performed by comparing the


negative sequence system quantities. To do so, the calculated negative
sequence current 3I2 is compared with the calculated negative sequence
voltage 3V2. This method is particularly suitable for the condition that the zero
sequence voltage is too low, for example, when a considerable zero
sequence mutual coupling exists between parallel lines or when there is an
unfavorable zero sequence impedance. In such cases it may be desirable to
determine direction of fault current by using negative sequence components.
41
Chapter 4 Earth fault protection

If the binary setting for negative-sequence direction detectionis enabled, the


default direction determination is performed by using the zero sequence
components, however, when the magnitude of zero sequence voltage falls
below permissible threshold of 2V, the negative-sequence directional element
is used to detect direction. On the contrary, if the negative-sequence direction
detection is disabled, the direction of earth fault current is only determined by
the zero sequence components. In this regard, if the magnitude of zero
sequence voltage magnitude is larger than 2V, proper direction determination
can be detected. However, for the condition that the zero sequence voltages
below 2V, no direction determination would be applied, thus, the fault is
considered as reverse direction.

The fault current -3I2 is in phase opposition to the fault current 3I2 and lags
from the voltage 3V2 by the fault angle Φ2. To satisfy different applications, the
reference voltage can be rotated by adjustable angle between 0°and 90°in
clockwise direction (negative sign) to be closely adjusted to the vector of fault
current -3I2. This would provide the best detection result for direction
determination. The rotated reference voltage defines the forward and reverse
area. The forward area is in range of ±80°around the rotated reference
voltage. If the vector of fault current -3I2 is in this area, the fault condition is
detected as forward direction. The negative sequence direction detection
characteristic is shown in

Chapter 5 Sensitive earth fault protection

1 Sensitive overcurrent protection

1.1 Introduction

In networks with high impedance earthing, the phase to earth fault current is
significantly smaller than load current and phase to phase short circuit currents.
Another difficulty for earth fault protection is that the magnitude of the phase to
earth fault current is almost independent of the fault location in the network.

Sensitive earth fault protection can be used to detect and give selective trip of
phase to earth faults in isolated or compensated networks. The protection
function also can be applied to detect high impedance earth faults in solidly or
low-resistance earthed networks.

Sensitive earth fault protection integrated in the IED provides following features:

 Sensitive overcurrent have four stages, 1st stage is definite time stage, 2nd
3rd and 4th stages can be set definite or inverse time stage by control word
“SEF2 Inv On” “SEF3Inv On” and “SEF4 Inv On”.

 11 kinds of IEC and ANSI inverse time characteristic curves as the standard
curves for 2ndand 3rdstages. And the standard curves as well as optional
user defined characteristic for 4thstage.

 Sensitive earth fault directional element with U 0/I0-Φ principle

 Sensitive earth fault directional element with Cos Φ principle

 Settable directional element characteristic angle to satisfy the different


network conditions and applications

 Each stage can be set to be directional, or non-directional independently

 The second, third and fourth can be set individually to alarm or trip

 Displacement voltage can be checked to increase function reliability

 Dedicated sensitive CT

 VT secondary circuit supervision for directional protection function

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Time characteristic

Sensitive overcurrent have four stages, 1st stage is definite time stage, 2nd 3rd
53
Chapter 5 Sensitive earth fault protection

and 4th stages can be set definite or inverse time stage by control word “SEF2
Inv On” “SEF3Inv On” and “SEF4 Inv On”

Each stage can operate in conjunction with the integrated directional functions
and operate based on measured phase current which is injected from the
dedicated sensitive current transformer.

Furthermore, each stage is independent from each other and can be combined
as desired.

Pickup value for the definite stage can be set in setting value. The measured
current from sensitive CT input is compared with the corresponding setting value
with delay time. If the measured current exceeds the associated pickup value,
after expiry of the time delay, the trip command or alarm signal is issued. The
dropout value of the definite stages is approximately equal to the system setting
“High Relay Ret”.

The time delay of inverse time characteristic is calculated based on the type of
the set characteristic, the magnitude of the current and a time multiplier. For the
inverse time characteristic, both ANSI and IEC based standard curves are
available, and any user-defined characteristic can be defined using the following
equation:

= ( SE )K_SEF
( )
SE

Equation 5-1

where:

A_SEF: Time factor for inverse time stage

B_SEF: Delay time for inverse time stage

P_SEF: index for inverse time stage

K_SEF: Time multiplier

The IDMT curve of EF is same as over current protection of curve.

By applying proper setting of the aforementioned parameters, the IED calculates


the tripping or alarming time from the measured current in each phase
separately. Once the calculated time has been elapsed, the trip signal or alarm
signal is issued.

54
Chapter 5 Sensitive earth fault protection

1.2.2 Direction determination feature

The integrated directional function can be applied to each stage of sensitive


earth fault element via specified binary setting. In order to discriminate forward
or reverse short circuits, the IED provides two methods for sensitive earth fault
direction detection which should be utilized to cover all network configurations
according to the type of grounding. Based on U0/I0-Φ measurement and based
on Cos Φ measurement respectively.

The integrated directional function can be applied to each stage of sensitive


earth fault element via dedicated binary setting. These binary setting include
“SEF1 Dir On”, “SEF2 Dir On”, “SEF3 Dir On”and “SEF4 Dir On”. There are two
methods for direction determination of sensitive earth faults. The first is based on
U0/I0-Φ measurement and the second is based on Cos Φ measurement. The
following subsections go on to demonstrate basic principle of these two methods.
Selection between the methods can be made via binary setting “SEF Chk U0/I0”.
If setting “SEF Chk U0/I0” is “1”, the device employs the first method; whereas
setting “SEF Chk U0/I0” is set “0” it employs the second method.

During direction decision by directional function (U0/I0-Φ or cos Φ), a VT Fail


condition may result in false or undesired tripping or alarm by directional
sensitive earth fault element. In such situation, it is possible to select operation
status of those sensitive earth fault stages which operate in conjunction with
directional feature by using binary setting to be blocked or keep them in
operational state with no direction. When binary setting “Blk Fun_VTFail” is set
“0”, corresponding sensitive earth fault stages would not judge direction at VT
failure. When “Blk Fun_VTFail” is set “1”, no operation is possible by the
sensitive earth fault protection element. It is noted that the binary setting affect
all the stages of sensitive earth fault element. For instance, by applying setting
“Blk Fun_VTFail” at “0”, all the three stages of the sensitive earth fault element
will remain operative without direction determination in case of any fault in
secondary circuit of voltage transformer. On the other hand, setting “Blk
Fun_VTFail” at “1” makes them blocked.

It is noted that direction determination based on measured displacement voltage


would not be blocked in case of failure detection in the three-phase connected
voltage transformer. Similarly, if the direction determination is based on the
calculated displacement voltage, it would not be blocked as a result of failure
detection in U4 voltage transformer. However, in case of a failure in U4 voltage
transformer, the direction determination based on measured value of
displacement voltage would be blocked according to the setting applied at binary
setting “Blk Fun_VTFail” set to “1”.

55
Chapter 5 Sensitive earth fault protection

1.2.2.1 U0/I0-Φ measurement

In this method, the direction determination is performed by comparing the


displacement angle between zero sequence system quantities. In current path,
the measured current Is at the sensitive input is used. In the voltage path, the
displacement voltage U4 is used as reference voltage, if it is connected, and the
device is informed about via setting “SEF 3U0 Calculated” at “0”. Otherwise the
device calculates the zero sequence voltage 3U0 from the sum of the three
phase voltages if setting “SEF 3U0 Calculated” is “1”. Direction determination
can be performed by the device for 3U0 quantity having a magnitude higher than
the setting “U_3V0_SEF”.

Contrary to the directional phase elements, which work with the un-faulted
voltage as reference voltage, the fault voltage itself is the reference voltage for
the directional sensitive earth fault protection. Depending on the connection of
voltage transformer (setting “SEF 3U0 Calculated”), the setting “0” or “1” is
corresponding to voltage U4 or 3U0 (3U0=VA+VB+VC).

where:
ФNS: The settable characteristic angle

In order to satisfy different network conditions and applications, the reference


voltage can be rotated by adjustable angle “Angle_SEF” between 0° and 90° in
anticlockwise direction (positive sign). It should be noted that the settings affect
all the directional stages of sensitive earth fault element. In this way, the vector
of rotated reference voltage can be closely adjusted to the vector of fault current
-Is which leads the fault voltage 3U0 by the fault angle Φd. This would provide
the best possible result for the direction determination. The rotated reference

57
Chapter 5 Sensitive earth fault protection

voltage defines the forward and reverse area. The forward area is in range of
±80°around the rotated reference voltage. If the vector of the fault current -Is is
in this area, the device detects forward direction. Figure 5-1 shows an example
of direction determination. As can be seen from the figure, fault current -Is leads
residual sequence voltage 3U0 by Φd, which is the setting value of “Angle_SEF”.
The reference voltage 3V0 is rotated by this angle to be closely matched to -IS
current. Furthermore, the forward area is depicted in the figure.

1.2.2.2 CosΦ measurement

Similar to U0/I0-Φ method, the direction determination is performed in cos Φ


method by using the measured current at sensitive current input Is together with
the measured or calculated displacement voltage. In this context, the measured
displacement voltage is used if it is connected, and the device is informed about
it through binary setting “SEF 3U0 Calculated” at “0”. Otherwise the IED
calculates the zero sequence voltage 3U0 from the sum of the three phase
voltages if setting “SEF 3U0 Calculated” is “1”. Direction determination can be
performed by the device for 3U0 quantity having a magnitude higher than the
setting “U_3V0_SEF”.

Unlike to U0/I0-Φ method, direction determination is performed in Cos Φ method


by using those component of the residual current which is perpendicular to the
directional characteristic (axis of symmetry). Figure 5-2 shows how the
IEDadopts complex vector diagram for direction determination. As can be seen,
displacement voltage 3V0 is the reference magnitude quantity. The axis of
symmetry is defined as a line perpendicular to this quantity. The sensitive earth
fault protection would issue a trip command or an alarm signal if the active
component of Is is in the opposite direction of the reference voltage and has a
magnitude exceeds setting “IsCOS_SEF”.

Chapter 6 Negative-sequence overcurrent protection

1 Negative-sequence overcurrent
protection

1.1 Introduction

Negative-sequence overcurrent protection detects unbalanced loads on the


system. It is especially useful to monitor the unbalanced load of motors.
This is due to the fact that unbalanced loads create counter-rotating fields in
three-phase induction motors, which cause overheating in rotor end zones.
In addition, the protection function may be used to detect interruptions,
short circuits and polarity problems with current transformers. Furthermore,
it is suitable for detecting single-phase and two-phase faults with fault
currents lower than load currents.

The protection provide following features:

 Negative-sequence overcurrent have four stages, 1st stage is definite


time stage, 2nd 3rd and 4th stages can be set definite or inverse time
stage by control word “NSOC2 Inv On” “NSOC3Inv On” and “NSOC4 Inv
On”.

 11 kinds of IEC and ANSI inverse time characteristic curves as the


standard curves for 2ndand 3rdstages. And the standard curves as well
as optional user defined characteristic for 4thstage

 The first,second,third and forth stage can be set individually as alarm or


trip stage

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Protection function description

The IED provides three negative-sequence overcurrent protection stages


from which two stages operate as definite time stages and the other one
operates with inverse time-current characteristic. The negative-sequence
overcurrent protection operates based on negative sequence current
calculated from three phase currents, as follows:

İ2 = İ a2 İB aİ

Equation 6-1
67
Chapter 6 Negative-sequence overcurrent protection

Furthermore, each stage is independent from each other and can be


combined as desired.

Individual pickup value for each definite stage can be set in setting value.
The calculated negative sequence current from Equation -1 is compared
separately with the corresponding setting value with delay time. If the
calculated negative-sequence current exceeds the associated pickup value,
after expiry of the time delay, the trip command or alarm signal is issued.
The drop out value of the definite stages is approximately equal to the
system setting “High Relay Ret” of the pickup value for I/In≥0.5.

The time delay of inverse time characteristic is calculated based on the type
of the set characteristic, the magnitude of the current and a time multiplier.
For the inverse time characteristic, both ANSI and IEC based standard curves
are available and any user-defined characteristic can be defined using the
following equation:

= ( S )K_NSOC
( )
S

Equation 6-2

where:

A_NSOC: Time factor for inverse time stage

B_NSOC: Delay time for inverse time stage

P_NSOC: index for inverse time stage

K_NSOC: Time multiplier

The IDMT curve of EF is same as over current protection of curve.

By applying proper setting of the aforementioned parameters, the IED


calculates the tripping or alarming time from the measured current in each
phase separately. Once the calculated time has been elapsed, the trip
signal or alarm signal is issued.

Chapter 7 Thermal overload protection

1 Thermal overload protection

1.1 Introduction

The thermal overload protection represents an essential requirement to


prevent protected equipment from thermal damaging due to overloads.
Thermal damage mostly affects the insulating material surrounding the
phase current conductors in transformers, cables or any other power
equipment. As a matter of fact, the insulation material ages too rapidly if the
equipment temperature exceeds the design limit value. Thus, a special
protection is needed to prevent over-temperature condition for the protected
object. Since severity of over-temperature condition is directly proportional
to current squared, the thermal protection operates based on the square of
measured current flowing through the protected object. Furthermore,
because the cumulative nature of over-temperature condition, it is
necessary to integrate previous thermal history of equipment in the
protection. This is achieved in the IED by providing a comprehensive
thermal replica of the protected object. In this regard, the IED provides an
overload protection with memory capability by taking into account both the
previous history of an overload and the heat loss to the environment.

1.2 Protection principle


The thermal overload protection in the IED is provided with one trip stage as
well as one alarm stage. It is possible to set the alarm stage at a certain
percentage of the setting value applied at the trip stage. They protection
function operates based on an approximate replica of the protected object in
the event of temperature rise caused by overload. The thermal replica is
implemented based on thermal models (Cold or Hot Curve) of IEC60255-8
standard. The temperature rise is calculated separately for each phase in a
thermal replica from the square of the respective phase current. The
maximum calculated temperature rise of the three phases is decisive for
evaluation of the thresholds.

The IED calculates the temperature rise of the protected equipment in each
phase, based on following differential equation:

𝑑𝛩 𝐼 2
τ Θ =( )
𝑑𝑡 𝐼𝜗

Equation 7-1

where:
τ:is thermal time constant of heating for the protected object, in seconds. It is usually
75
Chapter 7 Thermal overload protection

determined by manufacturer of the protected object. This parameter can be set in


setting value.

I: is the measured fundamental current flowing through each phase of the protected
object.

Iϑ : is the maximum permissible continuous thermal overload current. It is usually


specified by manufacturer of the protected object. This parameter can be set in
setting value.

Θ: is temperature rise of the protected object in per unit of the final temperature rise
at maximum allowed phase currentIϑ .

According to Equation 7-1, the trippingtime for thermal overload protection is


calculated by the following equation based on Hot Curve in IEC60255-8
standard:

𝐼 2 𝐼 2
( ) − ( 𝑃)
𝐼
𝜗 𝐼 𝜗
= τ ln [ 2 ]
𝐼
( ) − 1
𝐼 𝜗

Equation 7-2

where:

IP: is steady state current previous to the overload.

The IED is capable to calculate tripping time of thermal overload protection


not only based on the Hot Curve, but also based on Cold Curve as defined in
IEC60255-8 standard and equation as following:

𝐼 2
( )
𝐼𝜗
= τ ln [ ]
𝐼 2
( ) − 1
𝐼 𝜗

Equation 7-3

From the Equation 7.2 and Equation 7-3 can be seen, the cold curve
provides no memory regarding to previous thermal condition of the protected
object, hereas, by using the hot curve, the protection function is able to
represent a memorized thermal profile of the protected object. Thermal will be
resetby binary input, when binary input value is "1" , the thermal
accumulationis reset, the thermal accumulated calculation formula is

Equation 7.3, otherwise the calculation formulais Equation 7.2. Whether it is


cold or hot curve, it can be divided into alarm and tripstage.

1 Swtich on to faulty protection

1.1 Introduction

Switch on to fault function is a subfunction of the overcurrent protection and


earth fault protection. They work with the same logic, drives the same
contacts and issues the same reports. Only the time delay settings are
ignored during the CB closure, the time delay settings would be recovered
after period of validity, i.e. it is not a valid protection permanently.

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Protection function description

Through measuring the current value in a time with MCB close, the protection
switch to faulty issures the line whether being fault or not. When the control
word SOTF Chk MC is On is be on, and in the time of T_MC Chk Fault the
rising edge of coming of input BI_MC begins to time, the 3-pahse current in
higher than I_SOTF or the measured earth current is higher than 3 I0_SOTF,
the relay operates. The input BI_MC can be defined by users in the LOGIC
file. When the input BI_MC is be set 1 for more than 10s, the relay will alarm
and show the report MC Error.

While the control word SOTF Chk CB On is be on, after conforming the CB
positing going by the relay time T_SOTF Chk CB, and 3-phase current is
higer than the setting I_SOTF or the measured earth current is more than 3
I0_SOTF, the relay operates.

Block condition: second harmonic blocking. The concrete blocking logic


refers to the protection OC and EF harmonic block.

1 Overvoltage protection

1.1 Introduction

The overvoltage protection detects abnormal network and machine high


voltage conditions. Overvoltage conditions may occur possibly in the power
system during abnormal conditions such as no-load, light load, or open line
end on long line. The protection can be used as open line end detector or as
system voltage supervision normally.
The protection provides following features:

 Two definite time stages and a inversetime stage, Device provides 4


inverse time curve and one user-define curve.

 First stage and inverse time stage can be set to alarm or trip

 Measuring voltage between phase-earth voltage and phase-phase


(selectable)

 Three phase or single phase voltage connection

 Settable dropout ratio

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Time characteristics

The relay provide 2 stages definite time and a inverse time Overvoltage
protection. The delay time can be set for each definite stage individually in
setting. After the delay time elapsed, a trip command or alarm signal is
issued.

Thus, alarming or tripping can be time-coordinated depending on how


severe the voltage increases are, i.e. in case of a high overvoltage, trip
command can be issued with a short time delay, whereas in case of less
severe overvoltage, trip or alarm command can be issued with a longer time
delay. In this context, settings “U_OV1” and “T_OV1” correspond to the
voltage threshold and time delay of the first stage. Similarly, settings
“U_OV2” and “T_OV2” are related to the second stage. The dropout ratio
for both the overvoltage stages can be set through setting “Dropout_OV”.

For the delay time of inverse time characteristic, which is calculated here
based on the type of the set characteristic, the magnitude of the current and

85
Chapter 9 Overvoltage protection

a time multiplier, both ANSI and IEC based standard curves are available,
and any user-defined characteristic can be defined using following formula:

= ( )K_OV
( )

Equation 9-1

where:

A_OV: Time factor for inverse time stage

B_OV: Delay time for inverse time stage

P_OV: Index for inverse time stage

K_OV: Time multiplier

A, P and B are the characteristic parameters for IDMTL curves. These


characteristic parameters have been defined for each curve in IEC and
ANSI standards. Table 9-1 provides a summary of the parameter values for
11 typical curves.

1.2.2 Overvoltage protection principle

Overvoltage protection element provides two definite time stages and one
inverser time stage which can be enabled or disabled separately according
to the user’s requirement using dedicated binary setting “Func_OV1”,
“Func_OV2” and “Func_OV INV”. The first stage and inverse timestage can
be used for tripping or alarming, whereas the second stage is dedicated for
tripping purposes. It is possible to select the operation mode of the first
stage of overvoltage protection using binary setting “OV1 Trip” and “OV Inv
Trip” as “1”. As expected, When the setting “OV1 Trip” and “OV Inv”as
“0”makes it work as an alarming stage, while by applying “OV1 Trip” and
“OV Inv Trip” as “1”, it is possible to use the first stage as a tripping stage.
Voltage thresholds and time delays can be set individually for each element.
Overvoltage protection can operate based on phase to earth voltages VA-N,
VB-N, VC-N or phase to phase voltage VA-B, VB-C, VC-A. The IED is
informed about user’s preference by binary setting “OV PP/OV PE”. By
setting “OV PP”, calculation would be based on phase to phase voltages.
However, by setting “OV PE”, phase to ground voltages would be employed
in calculation.

87
Chapter 9 Overvoltage protection

As can be seen from Figure , overvoltage protection is suitable for different


connections of voltage transformer. Overvoltage protection is capable to
operate not only with three phases to earth voltages connection (Case A and
Case B) but also with only one phase to phase voltage (Case C) or phase to
earth voltage (Case D). If only one phase to phase voltage is connected to the
IED, it can be connected to the VA-VB, VB-VC or VC-VA input of the relay. In
this case, overvoltage protection should be set to operate based on “OV PP”.
Similarly, by connection of one phase to earth voltage to the device, it can be
connected to the VA-VN, VB-VN or VC-VN input of the relay. Furthermore,
overvoltage protection should be set to operate based on “OV Chk PE”. It
should be noted that if the IED is only provided with one phase to phase
voltage, it is impossible to calculate phase to earth voltage accurately. This is
because the fact that there is no earth voltage connected to the IED.

It is noted that despite the capability of overvoltage protection to operate


properly with one phase to phase or one phase to earth voltage, maybe there
are some limitation may exist in operation of other protection functions, in
these conditions. For example, direction determination based on three phase
voltages would not operate with one voltage transformer connected.

Furthermore, depending on the application, voltage transformers may be


installed either on the source side or the load side of the associated circuit
breaker. However, these different arrangements have no influence in
behavior of the overvoltage protection.

As mentioned previously, according to different requirements, stage 1 of the


overvoltage protection can be set to trip or alarm, whereas stage 2 is
dedicated for trip. If the setting “OV1 Trip On” is set as “0”, the alarm output of
respective stage would be marshaled to “ALARM” contact. On the contrary, if
setting “OV1 Trip On” is set as “1”, the trip command of respective stage can
be configured at different output modules by action matrix. It should be noted
that the protection functions which are marshaled.

Chapter 10 Undervoltage protection

1 Undervoltage protection

1.1 Introduction

The undervoltage protection provides protection against dangerous voltage


drops, especially for electric machines.

The protection function provides following features:

 Two definite time stages

 First stage can be set to alarm or trip

 Measuring voltage between phase-earth voltage and phase-phase


selectable

 Current criteria supervision

 Circuit breaker aux. contact supervision

 VT secondary circuit supervision, the undervoltage function will be


blocked when VT failure happens

 Settable dropout ratio

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Protection function description

Undervoltage protection element provides two definite time stages which can
be enabled or disabled separately according to the user’s requirement using
dedicated binary settings “Fun_UV1” and “Fun_UV2”. The first stage can be
used for tripping or alarming, whereas the second stage is dedicated for
tripping purposes. It is possible to select the operation mode of the first stage
of undervoltage protection using binary setting “UV1 Trip On”. As expected,
setting “UV1 Trip On” set as “0” makes it work as an alarming stage, while by
applying “UV1 Trip On” set as “0”it is possible to set the first stage as a
tripping undervoltage stage. Voltage thresholds and time delays can be set
individually for each element. Thus, alarming or tripping can be
time-coordinated depending on how severe the voltage collapses are. In this
context, settings “U_UV1” and “T_UV1” correspond to the voltage threshold
and time delay of the first stage. Similarly, settings “U_UV2” and “T_UV2” are
related to the second stage. The dropout ratio for both the undervoltage
stages can be set through setting “Dropout_UV”.

93
Chapter 10 Undervoltage protection

Undervoltage protection can operate based on phase to earth voltages VA-N,


VB-N, VC-N or phase to phase voltage VA-B, VB-C, VC-A . The IED is
informed about user’s preference by binary setting “UV Chk PE”. By setting
“UV Chk PE” as “0”, calculation would be based on phase to phase voltages.
However, by setting “UV Chk PE” as “1”, phase to ground voltages would be
employed in calculation. Furthermore, it is possible to set the IED to operate
either when all the measured phase to earth voltages (or phase to phase
voltages according to the setting of “UV Chk PE”) falls below the setting
values “U_UV1” and “U_UV2” or when at least one of the phase to earth
voltages (or at least one of the phase to phase voltages according to the
setting of “UV Chk PE”) falls below the respective setting values “U_UV1” and
“U_UV2. This can be achieved by setting of binary setting “UV Chk 1Ph”. If
setting “UV Chk 1Ph” as “0”is applied, the undervoltage protection would
operate only if all of the phase to ground or phase to phase voltages falls
below the setting of “U_UV1” and “U_UV2”. In contrast, if setting “UV Chk
1Ph” as “1”is applied, the protection would operate when at least one of the
phase to earth or phase to phase voltages drops below the respective
thresholds.

Chapter 10 Undervoltage protection

As can be seen from Figure , undervoltage protection is suitable for different


connections of voltage transformer. Undervoltage protection is capable to
operate not only with three phases to earth voltages connection (Case A and
Case B) but also with only one phase to phase voltage (Case C) or phase to
earth voltage (Case D). If only one phase to phase voltage is connected to the
IED, it can be connected to VA-VB, VB-VC or VC-VA input of the IED and the
IED should be informed by binary setting “1Ph V Connect” as “1”. In this case,
undervoltage protection should be set to operate based on “UV Chk PE”be
setas “0”and “UV Chk 1Ph”be set as “1”. Similarly, by connection of one
phase to earth voltage to the device, it can be connected to VA-VN, VB-VN or
VC-VN input of the relay and the relay should be informed by control word
“1Ph V Connect”. Furthermore, undervoltage protection should be set to
operate based on “UV chk PE” be set as “1” and “UV Chk 1Ph” be set as “0”.
It should be noted that if the IED is only provided with one phase to phase
voltage, it is impossible to calculate phase to earth voltage accurately. This is
because the fact that there is no earth voltage connected to the IED.

It is noted that despite the capability of undervoltage protection to operate


properly by using only one phase to phase or one phase to earth voltage,
maybe there are some limitation in operation of other protection functions, in
these conditions. For example, direction determination based on three phase
voltages would not operate with one voltage transformer connected.

1.2.3 Depending on the VT location

Depending on the application, voltage transformers may be installed either on


the source side or the load side of the associated circuit breaker. These
different arrangements may lead to different behavior of the undervoltage
protection. When a tripping command is issued and the circuit breaker is
opened, full voltage remains on the source side while the load side voltage
becomes zero. In this case, undervoltage protection may remain picked up.
This problem is removed in the IED by integrating additional current criterion.
In this context, undervoltage pickup can be maintained only when the
undervoltage criterion satisfied and a minimum current (setting “I_Chk_UV”)
are exceeded. The largest of the three phase currents is decisive. In other
words, subsequent to each pickup, the undervoltage protection would drop
out as soon as the current decreases below the setting of “I_Chk_UV”. If the
voltage transformer is installed on the source side and it is not desired to
check current flow, this feature can be disabled by setting the minimum
threshold of “I_Chk_UV” to 0. Furthermore, it is possible for the IED to
integrate circuit breaker position in operation logic of undervoltage protection.
By employing this feature, the IED would issue a trip command when the
circuit breaker is closed. In this regard, undervoltage protection would drop

95
Chapter 10 Undervoltage protection

out when circuit breaker is opened. This feature can be enabled by applying
setting “UV Chk CB On” as “1”in binary setting. This is mainly useful when
voltage transformer is installed on load side. However, if the voltage
transformer is installed on the source side and it is not desired to check circuit
breaker position in undervoltage protection, setting “UV Chk CB On” as
“0”should be applied in binary setting.

Chapter 11 Displacement voltage protection

1 Displacement voltage protection

1.1 Introduction

In some applications, it is necessary to monitor the displacement voltage to


detect an earth fault in power system. This protection is usually applied in
networks where the earth fault current is limited.

The protection provide following features:

 Two definite time stages and one inverse time stage,The inverse time
stage provide 4 fixed curves and a user-define curve.

 The first and Inverse time stage can be set to alarm or trip

 Faulty phase discrimination

 3U0 based on calculated summation of 3 phase voltage or measured


injected residual voltage

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Displacement voltage input

The displacement voltage 3V0 can be directly applied to the IED or can be
calculated based on the connected three phase to ground voltages
(3V0=VA+VB+VC). In the latter case, the three voltage inputs must be
connected to voltage transformers in a ground-wye configuration. If the IED is
only provided with phase to phase voltages or provided only one phase to
earth or phase to phase voltage, it is not possible to calculate a displacement
voltage. In this case, the direction cannot be determined for earth fault or
sensitive earth fault protection.

If the displacement voltage is directly applied to the IED and the binary setting
“3U0 Calculated” is set as “0”, it is not affected by VT fail detection on
three-phase connected voltage. Similarly, if the displacement voltage is
calculated based on the three-phase voltages and the binary setting “3U0
Calculated” is set as “1”, it would not be blocked as a result of failure
detection in U4 voltage transformer. However, in case of a failure in U4
voltage transformer, the displacement voltage protection based on measured
value 3V0 would be blocked.

102
Chapter 11 Displacement voltage protection

1.2.2 Protection description

The displacement voltage protection is used to detect ground faults and to


determine direction of earth faults. More information about direction
determination based on displacement voltage is presented in other
subsections. Two definite stages included in this protection for detection of
earth faults. The first and inverse stage can be set to issue an alarm signal or
a trip command. This can be achieved by binary settings “3V01 Trip On” and
“3V0 Inv Trip On”. For example, by applying settings “3V01 Trip On” and “3V0
Inv Trip On” as “0”, the first and inverse stage would operate as an alarming
stage, whereas the second one would operate as tripping stage. If each stage
is set to alarm, respective output would be marshaled to “ALARM” contact. In
contrast, by applying setting trip to a stage, the trip output can be configured
to various trip outputs setting by Csmart II software tools.

Individual pickup value for each definite stage can be defined by setting
“U_3V01”, “U_3V02” and “U_3V0 Inv”. With these settings, the measured or
calculated displacement voltage is compared separately with the setting
value for each stage. If the respective value is exceeded, a trip or alarm time
delay timer is started. Each timer is set to count up to a user-defined time
delay. The time delay can be set for each definite stage individually via
settings “T_3V01” and “T_3V02”. After the user-defined time delays elapsed,
a trip command or an alarm signal is issued by respective stage.

The pickup value for the inverse time-voltage stage can be defined by setting
“U_3V0 Inv”. The displacement voltage 3U0 is compared with corresponding
setting value. If it exceeds the setting value, the inverse displacement voltage
protection stage picks up and the tripping or alarming time is calculated from
the displacement voltage, using the selected tripping or alarming curve. The
tripping or alarming curve can be selected from IEC standard curves, or a
user-defined characteristic can be used alternatively. Application of each
curve is possible by setting respective coefficients of following formula:

Us is the pickup setting, the corresponding setting is”U_3V0 Inv”;

P is the exponent index of the curve, the corresponding setting is”


P_3V0 Inv”;

A is the Time factor of the curve, the corresponding setting is”


A_3V0 Inv”;

B is IEC constant, the corresponding setting is” B_3V0 Inv”;

K is time multiplier setting, the corresponding setting is” K_3V0


Inv”.

The IDMT curve of 3U0 is same as over voltage protection of curve.

Furthermore, it is possible to determine the faulty phase after expiration of


time delay for the first stage. A precondition is that three phase to ground
voltages should be connected to the IED in a grounded wye configuration. By
doing so, the individual phase to ground voltages is measured and is
compared with settings “U_Phase low” and “U_Phase up”. In this context, if
the measured phase to ground voltage in a single phase falls below the
threshold “U_Phase low” and at the same time the magnitude of the phase
voltages in the remained phases are above the setting value “U_Phase up”,
an earth fault is recognized at the phase having voltage magnitude below
“U_Phase low” threshold.

1.1 Introduction

On a healthy 3-phase power system, he negative-sequence voltage is


norminally zero, when a unbalance condition occurs on the system, the
negative voltage will be produced. The relayNegative-sequence over

The protection provide following features:

 A definite time trip stage

 U2 based on calculated summation of 3 phase voltage

1.2 Protection function description

The Negative-sequence voltage U2 is calculated based on the connected


three phases to ground voltages. In the latter case, the three voltage inputs
must be connected to voltage transformers in a ground-wye configuration. If
the IED is only provided with phase to phase voltages or provided only one
phase to earth or phase to phase voltage, it is not possible to calculate a
negative-sequence voltage.

112
Chapter 13 Circuit breaker failure protection

1 Circuit breaker failure protection

1.1 Introduction

The circuit breaker failure protection is able to detect a failure of the circuit
breaker during a fault clearance. It ensures fast back-up tripping of
surrounding breakers by tripping relevant bus sections.

Once a circuit breaker operating failure occurs on a feeder/transformer, the


bus section which the feeder/transformer is connected with can be
selectively isolated by the protection. In addition a transfer trip signal is
issued to trip the remote end circuit breaker of the feeder.

In the event of a circuit breaker failure with a busbar fault, a transfer trip
signal is issued to trip the remote end circuit breaker of the feeder.

The current criteria are in combination with three phase currents, zero and
negative sequence current t achieve a higher security.

The function can be set to give three phase re-trip of the own breaker to avoid
unnecessary tripping of surrounding breakers at an incorrect starting due to
mistakes during testing.

 Two trip time stages (local CB and surrounding breaker tripping)

 Transfer trip command to the remote line end in second stage

 Internal/ external initiation

 Three phase CBF initiation for sub-transmission system and distribution


system

 Settable CB Aux contacts checking

 Current criteria checking (including phase current, zero and negative


sequence current)

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Protection description

Circuit breaker failure protection can be enabled or disabled in the IED via
binary setting “Func_CBF”. If setting “ON” is applied, CBF protection would
be enabled. In this case, by operation of a protection function, and
subsequent CBF initiation by respective protection function, a programmed
timer runs toward a preset time delay limit. This time delay is set by user
113
Chapter 13 Circuit breaker failure protection

under the settings “T_CBF1”. If the circuit breaker has not been opened after
expiration of the preset time limit, the circuit breaker failure protection issues
a command to trip circuit breaker (e.g. via a second trip coil). If the circuit
breaker doesn’t respond to the repeated trip command, until another preset
delay time which is set at “T_CBF2”, the protection issues a trip command to
isolate the fault by tripping other surrounding backup circuit breakers (e.g. the
other CBs connected to the same bus section as the faulty CB).

Initiation of CBF protection can be performed by both the internal and external
protection functions. If it is desired to initiate the CBF protection by means of
external protection functions, specified binary inputs (BI) should be
marshaled. Internal protection functions can initiate the CBF protection
integrated in the IED.

By checking whether the actual current flow effectively disappeared after a


tripping command had been issued and evaluating the circuit breaker
auxiliary contact status, There are four modes for breaker failure detection,
that are show in the figure below.

1.2.2 Current criterion evaluation

Since circuit breaker is supposed to be open when current disappears from


the circuit, the first criterion (current monitoring) is the most reliable way for
IED to be informed about proper operation of circuit breaker. Therefore,
current monitoring is applied to detect circuit breaker failure condition. In this
context, the monitored current of each phase is compared with the
pre-defined setting. Furthermore, it is possible to implement current checking
in case of zero-sequence (3İ0 = İ İB İ ) and negative-sequence currents
2
(3I2=IA+a IB+aIC) via control word setting. If the zero-sequence and
negative-sequence currents checking are enabled, zero sequence and
negative-sequence current is compared separately with the corresponding
threshold.

1.2.3 Circuit breaker auxiliary contact evaluation

For protection functions where the tripping criterion is not depend on current,
current flow is not a suitable criterion for proper operation of the breaker. In
this case, the position of the circuit breaker auxiliary contact should be used
to determine if the circuit breaker properly operated. It is possible to evaluate
the circuit breaker operation from its auxiliary contact status. A precondition
for evaluating circuit breaker auxiliary contact is that open status of CB should
be marshaled to binary inputs.

1 Dead zone protection

1.1 Introduction

The IED provides this protection function to protect the area between circuit
breaker and CT in the case that CB is open, namely dead zone. Therefore,
by occurrence of a fault in dead zone, the short circuit current is measured
by protection IED while CB auxiliary contacts indicate the CB is open.

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Function description

The protection can be enabled or disabled using dedicated binary setting.If


the protection function is enabled, by operation of a protection function, and
subsequent CBF initiation by respective protection function, a programmed
timer runs toward a preset time delay limit. This time delay is set by user in
the setting “T_Dead Zone”. If the fault current has not been disappeared after
expiration of the preset time limit even now the circuit breaker has been
opened, the dead zone protection would issue a trip command to isolate the
fault by tripping other surrounding backup circuit breakers (e.g. the other CBs
connected to the same bus section as the faulty CB).

When one bus side CT of feeder is applied, once a fault occurs in the dead
zone, the IED trips the relevant busbar zone. Tripping logic is illustrated in
Figure 14-1.

2 STUB protection

2.1 Introduction

Capacitor Voltage Transforemers (CVTs) are commonly installed at the line side
of transmission lines. Therefore, for the cases that transmission line is taken out
of service and the line disconnector is open, the distance protection will not be
able to operate and must be blocked.

The STUB protection protects the zone between the CTs and the open
disconnector. The STUB protection is enabled when the open position of the
disconnector is informed to the IED through connected binary input. The
function supports one definite stage with the logic shown inbelow figure.

transformers and the line disconnector. Here, the summation of CT1 and CT3
presents the short circuit current.

The STUB protection is an overcurrent protection which is only in service if the


status of the line disconnector indicates the open condition. The binary input must
therefore be informed via an auxiliary contact of the disconnector. In the case of a
closed line disconnector, the STUB protection is out of service. The STUB
protection stage provides one definite time overcurrent stage with settable delay
time. This protection function can be enabled or disabled via the binary setting
“Func_STUB”. Corresponding current setting value can be inserted in “I_STUB”
setting. The IED generate trip command whenever the time setting “T_STUB” is
elapsed.

Chapter 16 Synchro-check and


energizing check function

About this chapter

This chapter introduces the protection principle, input and


output signals, parameter, logic diagram, IED report and
technical data used synchro-check and energizing check
function.

128
Chapter 16 Synchro-check and energizing check function

1 Synchro-check and energizing check


function

1.1 Introduction

The synchronism and voltage check function ensures that the stability of the
network is not endangered when switching a line onto a busbar. The voltage
of the feeder to be energized is compared to that of the busbar to check
conformances in terms of magnitude, phase angle and frequency within
certain tolerances.

The synchro-check function checks whether the voltages on both sides of the
circuit breaker are synchronizing, or at least one side is dead to ensure
closing can be done safely.

When comparing the two voltages, the synchro check uses the voltages from
busbar and outgoing feeder. If the voltage transformers for the protective
functions are connected to the outgoing feeder side, the reference voltage
has to be connected to a busbar voltage.

1.2 Function principle

The synchronization function can either work together with automatic


reclosing function or manual closure or in both cases. Thus, synchronization
check can be requested in two following ways:

 Internal or external automatic reclosing request

 Manual closing request

The external automatic reclosing and manual closing are initiated through
corresponding binary input respectively. When a synchronization request is
received, it can work based on different close permission criteria. The criteria
can be selected for auto reclosure or manual closure separately. The binary
settings are“AR_Override”, “AR_Syncheck”, “AR_EnergChkDLLB”,
“AR_EnergChkLLDB”, “AR_EnergChkDLDB” for auto reclosure, and
“MC_Override”, “MC_Syn check”, “MC_EnergChkDLLB”,
“MC_EnergChkLLDB”, “MC_EnergChkDLDB” are settable for manual closure.
The meaning of each operation mode is as follows:

 Syn check: by applying this setting, with any synchronization request, the

129
Chapter 16 Synchro-check and energizing check function

synchronization condition is checked continuously.

 Override: by applying this setting, with any synchronization request, the


synchronizing OK condition is released.

 EnergChkDLLB: by applying this setting, with any synchronization


request, the dead line and live bus conditions are checked.

 EnergChkLLDB: by applying this setting, with any synchronization


request, the live line and dead bus conditions are checked.

 EnergChkDLDB: by applying this setting, with any synchronization


request, the dead line and dead bus conditions are checked.

Synchronization check can operate based on different voltage input


configurations. Reference voltage U4 can be phase to phase or phase to
earth voltage. Accordingly, the setting “Phase_UL” should be set as phase to
phase or phase to earth voltage, respectively. Both the setting and voltage
connection must be consistent. Pay attention to the single phase voltage
connection of Va, Vb, Vc, phase A or phase B should be connected in order to
get accurate frequency. Table shows the assignment of the settable values
for phase determination.

1.2.1 Synchro-check mode

The voltage difference, frequency difference and phase angle difference


values are measured in the IED and are available for the synchro-check
function for evaluation.

By any synchronization request, the synchronization conditions will be


checked continuously. If the line voltages and busbar voltages are larger than
the value of “Umin_Syn” and meet the synchronization conditions,
synchronized reclosure can be performed.

130
Chapter 16 Synchro-check and energizing check function

At the end of the dead time, synchronization request will be initiated and the
synchronization conditions are continuously checked to be met for a certain
time during maximal extended time “T_Syn Chk”. By satisfying synch-check
condition in this period, the monitor timer will stop and close command will be
issued for AR.

If the synchronization checking close permission criterion is used for manual


closure, the corresponding binary input should be active. When the binary
input is activated, a monitoring time “T_MaxSynReq” is started. This time is
considered for synchronizing process. During time period of “T_MaxSynReq”,
whenever synchronization condition is continuously met for “T_Syn Chk”, the
monitoring time would be stopped, and the output for manual close “Syn OK”
is energized. “Syn OK” output would be held if following conditions are met:

 Synchronization conditions are met

 Binary input for manual closure is energized

 Monitoring time “T_MaxSynReq” does not elapse

Before releasing a close command at synchronization conditions, all of the


following conditions should be satisfied:

 The reference voltage U4 should be above the setting value


“Umax_Energ”.

 The voltage difference should be within the permissible deviation “U_Syn


Diff”

 The angle difference should be within the permissible deviation


“Angle_Syn Diff”

 The frequency difference should be within the permissible deviation


“Freq_Syn Diff”

1.2.2 Energizing check mode

Before releasing a close command in low voltage conditions, one of the


following conditions need to be checked according to requirement:

 Energizing check for dead line and live bus for AR enabled or disabled,
when the control word “AR_EnergChkDLLB” is on

131
Chapter 16 Synchro-check and energizing check function

 Energizing check for live line and live bus for AR enabled or disabled,
when the control word “AR_EnergChkLLDB” is on

 Energizing check for dead line and live bus for AR enabled or disabled,
when the control word “AR_EnergChkDLDB” is on

1.2.3 Override mode

In this mode, a synchronizing OK signal would be released whenever a


synchronization check request is received from autoreclosure or a manual
closure.

Chapter 17 Autoclosing function

1 Autoreclosing function

1.1 Introduction

For restoration of the normal service after a transient fault an autoreclosing


attempt is mostly made for overhead lines. Experiences show that about 85%
of faults have transient nature and will disappear after an auto reclosing
attempt is performed. This means that the line can be re-energized in a
short period. The reconnection is accomplished after a dead time via the
automatic reclosing function. If the fault is permanent or short circuit arc has
not disappeared, the protection will re-trip the breaker. Main features of the
autoreclosing are as follows:

 4 shots automatic recloser (selectable)

 Individually settable dead time for each shot

 Internal/external AR initiation

 Three phase AR operation

 CB ready supervision

 CB Aux. contact supervision

 Cooperation with internal synch-check function for reclosing command

1.2 Function principle


Three-pole multi-shot auto-recloser (AR) function is provided with
selectable number of shots from 1 to 4. This function can be enabled or
disabled by binary setting. In addition, it is possible to enable or disable AR
function by binary input “BI1/AR Off”. In this context, if binary input “BI1/AR
Off” is active, AR function would be disabled, even though the internal
setting which is applied at “Func_AR”. The priority for enable or disable the
function with binary input “BI1/AR Off” is higher than binary setting
“Func_AR”. The integrated AR function can be enabled, only when binary
input “BI1/AR Off” is inactive and at the same time binary setting “Func_AR”
is set to “ON”.

1.2.1 Auto-reclosing initiation modules

Initiation of AR function can be performed by internal protection functions or


via external binary input “BI3/Init AR”. Regarding the internal protection
functions, it is possible to perform reclosing attempt in conjunction with
protection functions illustrated in Table 17-1.
137

In the Table 17-1, the first and second columns show the protection
functions, respectively, while the third column introduces the binary setting
which is possible to set protection functions to work in conjunction with AR.

Furthermore, it is possible to program AR to operate for three-phase faults.


This can be achieved by applying setting “3P Fault Init AR/3P Fault Blk AR”.
By this setting, autoreclosing would be possible in case of three-phase
faults, in addition to single-phase fault. However, if it is not desired to
reclose in case of three-phase faults, the IED should be set via setting “3P
Fault Blk AR”.

1.2.2 Autoreclosing logic

To prevent automatic reclosing during feeder dead status (circuit breaker


(CB) open), for example, by relay testing, AR is initiated at first shot only
when the CB has been closed for more than a time period defined by “T_AR
Reset”. Subsequent to initiation of AR, the dead time do not start until the
IED is informed about open status of CB through binary input. The delay of
dead time can be extended up to time setting “T_Max. CB Open”. During
this time, whenever CB open status is recognized by the IED, dead time is
started. If monitoring time “T_Max. CB Open” elapses and CB open status

138
Chapter 17 Autoclosing function

is not still detected by the IED, AR function would be blocked for duration of
AR reset time which is defined by “T_AR Reset”. In this case, reclosing
attempt would be announced as unsuccessful (annunciation “AR Failure”).

If circuit breaker failure protection (internal or external) is used for the CB,
monitoring time “T_Max CB Open” should be set shorter than the delay time
for detection of circuit breaker failure. By doing so, make sure that no
reclosing takes place for a faulty circuit breaker. No reclosing would take
place for CBF stage 2 or dead zone function operation.

As mentioned previously, if CB open position is detected by the IED during


monitoring time “T_Max. CB Open”, dead time is started and would last for
pre-defined time “T_3P AR1” in case of the first reclosing shot (respective
dead times for other reclosing shots are set by “T_3P AR2”, “T_3P AR3”
and “T_3P AR4”, for second, third and forth shots, respectively). After dead
time expiration, a monitoring time “T_MaxSynExt” is started. In fact, dead
time can be extended by “T_MaxSynExt”. This time is considered for
synchronizing process. In this context, at the end of dead time, IED starts to
check synchronization condition. During monitoring time period
“T_MaxSynExt”, whenever synchronization condition is continuously met for
“T_Syn Chk”, the monitoring time would be stopped, AR close command
will be issued to close circuit breaker. However, at the end of monitoring
time “T_MaxSynExt”, if synchronization condition is not still met
continuously for “T_Syn Chk”, AR function would be blocked for a time
period defined by “T_AR Reset”. Furthermore, reclosing attempt would be
announced as unsuccessful (annunciation “AR Failure”).

Regarding the close command, it has a pulse nature which lasts for 500ms
at most. As expected, no synchronization check takes place during this
pulse time. If during this pulse time, the auxiliary contact of CB indicates
that the CB has been closed or a current flow is detected by the IED, the
close command pulse will be reset.

Once the close command pulse is issued (rising edge) to close the circuit
breaker, reclaim time “T_Reclaim” is started, within this time it is checked
whether the reclosing attempt is successful. If no fault occurs before the
reclaim time elapses, it is thought that fault is cleared. In this case, at the
end of reclaim time, reset time “T_AR Reset” is started. During reset time
AR function is blocked. If a new fault occurs before the reclaim time elapses,
it results in reset of the reclaim time and starting of next reclosing shot. This
procedure can be repeated until the maximum number of reclosure shots is
reached.

If none of the reclosing shots is successful, and therefore the fault is still

139
Chapter 17 Autoclosing function

remained after the last shot, final trip takes place. Furthermore, AR function
would be blocked for a time period defined by “T_AR Reset ”, and
annunciation “AR Failure” is issued.

It is possible to block AR function for a specified time after any manual


closing command. This can be achieved by marshaling CB close command
to binary input “BI4/MC CLS”. When the binary input is activated, the IED is
informed about execution of a manual closing. As a result, AR function
would be blocked for “T_AR Reset”.

Furthermore, AR function would be blocked if the IED detects an abnormal


condition in CB control circuit. This means that if both binary inputs “3Ph CB
Open” and “3Ph CB Close” are active or inactivate at the same time, AR
function is blocked until the abnormal condition disappears.

There may be cases when it is already obvious that CB cannot perform any
reclosing attempt. For such cases, binary input “BI2/CB Faulty” is
considered which indicates that CB is not ready for reclosing. CB Faulty
should be checked with a time delay “T_CB Faulty”, which is set according
to the characteristic of circuit breaker. AR function would be blocked if the
IED detects activation of “BI2/CB Faulty”, even the AR function would not be
initiated. AR is blocked until the BI disappears. Furthermore, this condition
is checked whenever a close command is received from AR function.

Single-shot reclosure

When an internal or external trip command initiates AR function, the


reclosing program is being executed. First of all, CB auxiliary contact is
checked to be open until expiration of monitoring time “T_Max. CB Open”. If
during this time, CB open status is recognized, dead time is started. When
dead time interval “T_3P AR1” has elapsed, monitoring time “T_MaxSynExt”
is started. During this period, whenever synchronization condition is
continuously met for “T_Syn Chk”, a closing pulse signal is issued. At the
same time, reclaim time “T_Reclaim” is started. If a new fault occurs before
the reclaim time elapses, AR function is blocked causing final tripping of CB.
However, if no fault occurs before reclaim time expires, AR is reset and
therefore is ready for future reclosing attempt for the next fault.

Multi-shot reclosure

In this condition, the first reclosing shot, in principle, is same as the


single-shot auto reclosing. If the first reclosing is unsuccessful, it doesn’t
result in a final trip. Therefore if a fault occurs during reclaim time of the first
reclosing shot; it would result in the starting of next reclosing shot with

140
Chapter 17 Autoclosing function

different dead time. This procedure can be repeated until the whole
reclosing shots which are set inside the IED is performed. Different dead
times can be set for various shots of AR function. This can be performed
through settings “T_3P AR1”, “T_3P AR2”, “T_3P AR3” and “T_3P AR4”. If
one of the preset reclosure shots is successful, AR function would be reset
after expiration of the reclaim time. However, if none of reclosing shots is
successful, i.e. the fault doesn’t disappear after the last programmed shot, a
final trip is issued, and reclosing attempts are announced to be
unsuccessful.Figure 17-1 illustrates the operation method of two shots
reclosure.

1 Rate of change of frequency protection

1.1 Introduction

The function monitors the network abnormality by detection of frequency


change. When the rate of change of frequency exceeds the threshold with
following conditions satisfied, the protection will operate.

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Function description

The relay supplys one stage rate-of-change frequency protection, the


protection operates by judging the rate-of-change of frequency reaching the
threshold setted.

Depending upon whether the rate of change of frequency calculated is below


or above zero, there are 3 direction models to choose. As the setting value
Dir_ROCOF equals to 1, as df/dt>0, it will satisfy the positive direction. As the
setting value Dir_ROCOF equals to 2, as df/dt<0,, it will satisfy the negative
direction. As the setting value Dir_ROCOF equals to 3, regardless of as df/dt
whether being above or below zero, as |df/dt|>0, it will satisfy the direction.

To avoid malfunction, there is a frequency dead zone


(Lf_ROCOF<F<Hf_ROCOF) near the nominal frequency. As the frequency
within the frequency dead zone, the relay will recognize nomal and be not
pick up. Frequency dead zone blocking can be on or off by the control word
“ROCOF chk F On” .

If the maximun phase-to-phase voltage is lower than the threshold defined


“U_ROCOF”, the protection will be blocked, and it can be on/off by control
word “ROCOF chk U On”.

1 Low frequency load shedding


protection

1.1 Introduction

The function monitors the network abnormality by detection of frequency


reduction. When the system frequency falls down to a threshold frequency
with following conditions satisfied, specified load will be removed.

 Undervoltage checking

 Rate of frequency (df/dt) checking

 CB position checking

 Load current checking

 VT secondary circuit supervision

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Function description

Low frequency load shedding is provided based on “bay load shedding”


principle. This means that the protection function is implemented in each bay
separately, instead of being applied in an incoming bay and sending trip
command to various outgoing bays. In this regard, coordination between the
low frequency load shedding protection functions applied at various bays can
be achieved by selecting appropriate settings for pickup threshold and time
delay of the protection in various bays. The protection function can be
enabled or disabled via binary setting “Func_LF LS”. Based on the “bay load
shedding” principle, only one trip stage is applied for the protection. This
protection can operate based on both three-phase and single-phase voltage
input configurations. The voltage connection is set in the IED by binary setting
“3Ph V Connect/1Ph V Connect”. It is noted that in case of single-phase to
earth voltage input configuration, the voltage should be connected to phase A
or B, which are necessary for frequency measurement. Similarly, for single
phase to phase voltage, the voltage connection input should be VA-B. In each
configuration, it derives the power frequency from the connected voltage. If
the frequency falls below a pre-defined threshold (setting “F_LF LS”), a timer

160
Chapter 21 Load shedding protection

begins to run toward a pre-defined time limit which is the time delay of the
protection (setting “T_LF LS”). When the time delay elapsed, the trip
command is issued.

Since the protection based on power frequency from the connected voltages,
the protection should be blocked if some conditions are satisfied as following:

 The minimum magnitude among of the connected voltages is lower


than the defined threshold in setting “U_Block_LS”. In case of single
voltage connection, only the magnitude of the connected voltage is
checked with setting “U_Block_LS”

 VT fail is detected by the IED or a MCB failure signal is received to the


IED through respective binary input

 Load current is lower than setting “I_Block_LS”. This condition is mainly


useful when the voltage transformer is connected at source side. The
setting applied at “I_Block_LS” corresponds to minimum load current
which may flow when circuit breaker is closed. It is possible to disable
this feature by applying setting 0 to “I_Block_LS”

 Circuit breaker is in open status. Similar to the previous condition, it is


useful when the voltage transformer is connected at source side. In this
case, it is not desired to issue any trip command by low frequency load
shedding even if the frequency falls below the pre-defined threshold

 Rate of frequency change (Δf/Δt) exceeds the setting of frequency


change rate “dF/dt_LS”

2 Low voltage load shedding protection

2.1 Introduction

This kind of load shedding is to prevent the voltage collapse and


uncontrolled loss of load.

Low voltage load shedding is necessary when the network is connected


with a huge system with vast power capacity. Under this condition, “Low
Frequency Load Shedding Scheme” cannot work properly. “Low Voltage
Load Shedding Scheme" would be a useful criterion whenever Automatic
Voltages Regulator (AVR) is out of service or not equipped with following
conditions satisfied.

 Undervoltage checking

 Negative sequence voltage checking

 Rate of voltage (du/dt) checking

 CB position checking

 Load current checking

 VT secondary circuit supervision

2.2 Protection principle

2.2.1 Funciton description

Low voltage load shedding is provided based on “bay load shedding” principle.
This means that the protection function is implemented in each bay separately,
instead of being applied in an incoming bay and sending trip command to
various outgoing bays. In this regard, coordination between the low voltage
load shedding protection functions applied at various bays can be achieved
by selecting appropriate settings for pickup threshold and time delay of the
protection in various bays. The protection function can be enabled or disabled
via binary setting “Func_LV LS”. Based on the “bay load shedding” principle,
only one trip stage is provided for the protection. This protection can operate
based on both three-phase and single-phase voltage input configurations.
The voltage connection is set in the IEDby binary setting “3Ph V Connect/1Ph
164
Chapter 21 Load shedding protection

V Connect”. If all the measured voltages fall below a pre-defined threshold


(setting “U_LV LS”), a timer begins to run toward a pre-defined limit which is
the time delay of the protection (setting “T_LV LS”). When the time delay
elapsed, the trip command is issued. It is noted that the setting applied at
“U_LV LS” corresponds to phase to phase voltage.

Since the protection operates based on measured voltages, forsome


conditions satisfied the protection should be blocked. These conditions are as
follows:

 The minimum magnitude among of the connected voltages is lower


than the defined threshold “U_Block_LS”. In case of
single-phasevoltage connection, only the magnitude of the connected
voltage is checked with setting “U_Block_LS”

 VT fail is detected by the IED or a MCB failure signal is received to the


IED through respective binary input

 Load current islower than setting “I_Chk”. This condition is mainly


useful when the voltage transformer is connected at source side. The
setting applied at “I_Chk” corresponds to minimum load current which
may flow when circuit breaker is closed. It is possible to disable this
feature by applying setting 0 to “I_Chk”

 Circuit breaker is in open status. Similar to the previous condition, it is


useful when the voltage transformer is connected at source side. In this
case, it is not desired to issue any trip command by low voltage load
shedding even if the voltage falls below the pre-defined threshold

 Rate of voltage change (ΔU/Δt) exceeds the setting of voltage change


rate “dU/dt_LS”. The setting corresponds to phase to phase voltage

 Negative sequence voltage is greater than 5V. In case of single-phase


voltage connection (by setting “1Ph V Connect”), this condition is
useless.

3 Overload load shedding protection

3.1 Introduction

The IED provides a load shedding function based on the load current
passing through feeder. This function will be essential in conditions that
feeder is connected to a huge network with constant frequency and
additional AVR is continuously used for voltage regulation. In this case, load
shedding protection should be done based on load currentand monitoring of
following items

 Undervoltage checking

 Rate of voltage (du/dt) checking (in the case of voltage connection)

 Rate of frequency (df/dt) checking (in the case of voltage connection)

 VT secondary circuit supervision (in the case of voltage connection)

3.2 Protection principle

3.2.1 Fucntion description

Overload load shedding is provided based on “bay load shedding” principle.


This means that the protection function is implemented in each bay
separately, instead of being applied in an incoming bay and sending trip
command to various outgoing bays. In this regard, coordination between
the overload load shedding protection functions applied at various bays can
be achieved by selecting appropriate settings for pickup threshold and time
delay of the protection in various bays. The protection function can be
enabled or disabled via binary setting “Func_OL LS”. Based on the “bay
load shedding” principle, only one trip stage is provided for the protection. It
operates based on the measured phase currents. If all of the measured
phase currents exceed a pre-defined threshold (setting “I_OL LS”), a timer
begins to run toward a pre-defined limit which is the time delay of the
protection (setting “T_OL LS”). When the time delay elapsed, the trip
command is issued.

If the voltage connected to the IED and the binary setting “OL LS Chk V On”
is set in binary setting “OL LS Chk V Off/OL LS Chk V On”, the protection
would be blocked as following conditions:
169
Chapter 21 Load shedding protection

 The minimum magnitude among of the connected voltages is lower


than the threshold defined by “U_Block_LS”. In case of single-phase
voltage connection, only the magnitude of the connected voltage is
checked with setting “U_Block_LS”

 Rate of voltage change (ΔU/Δt) exceeds the setting of voltage change


rate“dU/dt_LS”. The setting corresponds to phase to phase voltage

 Rate of frequency change (Δf/Δt) exceeds the setting of frequency


change rate“dF/dt_LS”.

 VT fail is detected by the IED or a MCB failure signal is received to the


IED through respective binary input

4 Super Low frequency load shedding


protection

4.1 Introduction

The function monitors the network abnormality by detection of frequency


reduction. When the system frequency falls down to a threshold frequency
with following conditions satisfied, specified load will be removed.

4.2 Protection principle

4.2.1 Function description

Super under frequency load shedding protection provides four trip stages.
Each stage can be implemented when both joint linker and respective linker
are switched on. All the four stages will be disabled when the joint linker is
switched off. The first three stages can be tripped by turns, vie control word
‘LF joint Cut On/Off’, i.e. the second stage can’t be tripped only after the first
stage actuation, and the third stage can’t be tripped only after the second
stage actuation. When this control word is enabled, a certain stage can trip
even previous linker is switched off. The fourth stage is special. It can operate
regardless of previous three.

The acceleration stage is also provided. When the frequency is less than the
first stage setting ‘’f_LF LS1’’, and frequency change rate is more than
‘’df/dt_ACC1/2’’ and less than ‘’df/dt_LF LS’’, serious overloading is
considered. In this condition, the IED will shed load fast, and trip the first two
or three stages. The acceleration stage can be disable by control word “ACC
LF1&2 On/Off”or “ACC LF1&2 &3On/Off’’.

Blocking:

1. The frequency is considered abnormal when it is less than 45Hz for 50Hz
system, or less than 55Hz for 60Hz system. In this condition, the function will
be blocked instantly, and alarm will be reported after 5s time delay. The block
will be released after the frequency is considered normal.

2. The device is equipped with software frequency measurement monitoring


hardware frequency measuring circuit integrity function , it ensure correct of
the frequency measuring circuit by two frequency measuring circuit of mutual

174
Chapter 22 Super load shedding protection

checking. When the frequency difference more than 0.5Hz, blocking this
function immediately. If the value less than 0.5Hz, it will be automatic
unblocking.

3. A VT fail is detected by the device or a MCB failure signal is received to the


device through respective binary input.

4. Negative sequence voltage is greater than 5V. In case of single-phase voltage


connection (by setting “1Ph V Connect”),this condition is useless.

5. The minimum magnitude among of the connected voltages is lower than the
threshold defined by “U_Check”.

6. Load current is lower than setting “I_Check”. This condition is mainly useful
when the voltage transformer is connected at source side. The setting applied
at “I_Check” corresponds to minimum load current which may flow when
circuit breaker is closed. It is possible to disable this feature by applying
setting 0 to “I_Check”.

7. Rate of frequency change (Δf/Δt) exceeds the setting of frequency change


rate“df/dt_LF FS”.

8. The system action process load shedding in the Low-frequency, active power
maybe occur before the previous stage operation after the system is no longer
vacancy. Frequency begin to rebound, but this knee point maybe within the
next stage pickup value. For example, after the 1st stage load shedding
operation, the frequency will be slowly rise, but the 2nd stage will be operate
when the 2nd stage pickup value constant under longer than this stage
operate delay time, not necessary the part load shedding. The over shedding
phenomenon easily in the area occurred in the small grid. Therefore, the
blocking criterion df/dt≥0 add in the each stage , can be effectively prevent
the over shedding phenomenon, and this function alsoo can be put on/off
ctrlword “Trend BLKF On/Off”.

5 Super Low voltage load shedding


protection

5.1 Introduction

This kind of load shedding is to prevent the voltage collapse and


uncontrolled loss of load.

Super low voltage load shedding is necessary when the network is


connected with a huge system with vast power capacity. Under this
condition, “Low Frequency Load Shedding Scheme” cannot work properly.
“Low Voltage Load Shedding Scheme" would be a useful criterion whenever
Automatic Voltages Regulator (AVR) is out of service or not equipped with
following conditions satisfied.

5.2 Protection principle

5.2.1 Funciton description

Super under voltage load shedding protection provides four trip stages. Each
stage can be implemented when both joint linker and respective linker are
switched on. All the four stages will be disabled when the joint linker is
switched off. The first three stages can be tripped by turns, via control word
‘LV Joint Cut On/Off’, i.e. the second stage can’t be tripped only after the first
stage actuation, and the third stage can’t be tripped only after the second
stage actuation. When this control word is enabled, a certain stage can trip
even previous linker is switched off. The fourth stage is special. It can operate
regardless of previous three.

The acceleration stage is also provided. When the voltage is less than the
first stage setting ‘’U_LV LS1’’, and frequency change rate is more than
‘’du/dt_ACC1’’ and less than ‘du/dt_LVLS’’, serious overloading is considered.
In this condition, the IED will shed load fast, and trip the first two or three
stages. The acceleration stage can be disabled by control word “ACC LV1&2
Off”or “ACC LV1&2&3 Off’’.

Blocking:

1. A VT fail is detected by the device or a MCB failure signal is received to


the device through respective binary input.

180
Chapter 22 Super load shedding protection

2. Negative sequence voltage is greater than 5V. In case of single-phase


voltage connection (by setting “1Ph V Connect”),this condition is useless.

3. The minimum magnitude among of the connected voltages is lower than


the threshold defined by “U_Check”.

4. Load current is lower than setting “I_Check”. This condition is mainly


useful when the voltage transformer is connected at source side. The
setting applied at “I_Check” corresponds to minimum load current which
may flow when circuit breaker is closed. It is possible to disable this
feature by applying setting 0 to “I_Check”.

5. Rate of frequency change (ΔU/Δt) exceeds the setting of voltage change


rate“du/dt_LV LS”。

6. The system action process load shedding in the Low-voltage, reactive


power maybe occur before the previous stage operation after the system
is no longer vacancy. Voltage begin to rebound, but this knee point maybe
within the next stage pickup value. For example, after the 1st stage load
shedding operation, the Voltage will be slowly rise, But the 2nd stage will
be operate when the 2nd stage pickup value constant under longer than
this stage operate delay time, not necessary the part load shedding. The
over shedding phenomenon easily in the area occurred in the small grid.
Therefore, the blocking criterion dU/dt>0 add in the each stage , can be
effectively prevent the over shedding phenomenon, and this function also
can be put on/off ctrlword “Trend BLKV On/Off”

protection

6.1 Introduction

The IED provides a super load shedding function based on the load current
passing through feeder. This function will be essential in conditions that
feeder is connected to a huge network with constant frequency and
additional AVR is continuously used for voltage regulation. In this case, load
shedding protection should be done based on load current and monitoring
of following items

6.2 Protection principle

6.2.1 Fucntion description

Super overloadload shedding protection provides four trip stages. Each


stage can be implemented when both joint linker and respective linker are
switched on. All the four stages will be disabled when the joint linker is
switched off. The first three stages can be tripped by turns via control word
‘OL Joint Cut On/Off’, i.e. the second stage can’t be tripped only after the
first stage actuation, and the third stage can’t be tripped only after the
second stage actuation. When this control word is enabled, a certain stage
can trip even previous linker is switched off. The fourth stage is special. It
can operate regardless of previous three.

If there is voltage connection to the device and the device is informed about
it by setting “OL LS Chk V On” to control word “OL LS Chk V Off/OL LS Chk
V On”, the protection would be blocked in following conditions:

1. The minimum magnitude among of the connected voltages is lower than


the threshold defined by “U_Check”.

2. Rate of voltage change (ΔU/Δt) exceeds the setting of voltage change


rate “du/dt_OL LS”. The setting corresponds to phase to phase voltage.

3. Rate of frequency change (Δf/Δt) exceeds the setting of frequency


change rate “df/dt_OL LS”.

4. A VT fail is detected by the device or a MCB failure signal is received to


the device through respective binary input.

1 Fast busbar protection scheme


The IED provides fast busbar protection which is achieved based on
operation with GOOSE signals, it is able to block the incoming feeder
protection IED function by reception of a defined GOOSE signals from the
outgoing feeder linked with the same busbar.

The principle illustrated in the following figure:

Figure 23-1 Action when fault on the feeder C

If the fault occurs on outgoing feeder C, the protection IED C will trip and
send block messenger to IED A to block IED A relevant protection function.

Once the fault located on the busbar, protection IEDs of outgoing feeder do
not trip and therefore there is no any blocking signal. So the IED A will trip
and clear off the fault with short time delay.

1 Current circuit supervision

1.1 Function principle

1.1.1 Function description

Open or short circuited current transformer cores can cause unwanted


operation of many protection functions such as, earth fault current and
negative sequence current functions.

It must be remembered that a blocking of protection functions at an


occurring open CT circuit will mean that the situation will remain and
extremely high voltages will stress the secondary circuit.

To prevent the IED from wrong trip, interruptions in the secondary circuits of
current transformers is detected and reported by the UED. When the zero
sequence current is always larger than the setting value “3I0_CT Fail” for
12s, “CT Fail” will be reported and each stage of zero sequence current
protection will be blocked if setting “Blk EF_CT Fail” is selected.

Chapter 24 Secondary system supervision

2 Fuse failure supervisionVT


2.1 Introduction
A measured voltage failure, due to a broken conductor or a short circuit fault
in the secondary circuit of voltage transformer, may result in unwanted
operation of the protection functions which work based on voltage criteria.
VT failure supervision function is provided to block these protection
functions and enable the backup protection functions.

2.2 Function principle

In the event of a measured voltage failure due to a broken conductor or a


short circuit fault in the secondary circuit of voltage transformer, those
protection functions which work based on voltage criteria may see a voltage
of zero by mistake. VT failure supervision function is provided to inform
those functions about a voltage failure.

VT failure supervision function can be enabled or disabled through via


control word “VT Fail On/ VT Fail Off”. By applying setting “VT Fail On” to
the control word, VT failure supervision function would monitor the voltage
transformer circuit. The function is able to detect single-phase broken,
two-phase broken or three-phase broken faults in secondary circuit of
voltage transformer, if a three-phase connection is applied. There are three
main criteria for VT failure detection; the first one is dedicated to detect
three-phase broken faults. The second and third ones are dedicated to
detect single or two-phase broken faults in solid earthed and
isolated/resistance earthed systems, respectively. A precondition to meet
these three criteria is that the device should not be picked up (the pickup
condition is only related with those protection functions which operate
based on current conditions). The calculated zero sequence and negative
sequence currents should be less than setting of “3I02_ VT Fail”. These
criteria are as follows:

The calculated zero sequence voltage 3U0 as well as maximum of three


phase-to-earth voltages is less than the setting of “Upe_VT Fail” and at the
same time, maximum of three phase currents is higher than setting of “I_ VT
Fail”. This condition may correspond to three phase broken fault in
secondary circuit of the voltage transformer.

The calculated zero sequence voltage 3U0 is more than the setting of
“Upe_VT Fail”. This condition may correspond to single or two-phase
broken fault in secondary circuit of the voltage transformer, if the system

196
Chapter 24 Secondary system supervision

starpoint is solidly earthed.

The calculated zero sequence voltage 3U0 is more than the setting of
“Upe_VT Fail”, and at the same time, the difference between the maximum
and minimum phase-to-phase voltages is more than the setting of “Upp_VT
Fail”. This condition may correspond to single or two-phase broken fault in
secondary circuit of the voltage transformer, if the system starpoint is
isolated or resistance earthed.

In addition to the mentioned conditions, the device has the capability to be


informed about the VT MCB failure through its binary input “V3P MCB Fail”.
In this context, VT fail is detected, if the respective digital input is active.

If VT failure supervision detects a failure in voltage transformer secondary


circuit, either by means of the above mentioned criteria or reception of a VT
MCB fail indication, all the protection functions which operate based on
direction component or low voltage criteria will be blocked. Furthermore,
alarm report “VT Fail” is issued after 10s time delay. If the VT Fail criteria
recovers within this 10s time delay, the blocking condition would be
removed if one of the following conditions is met. Furthermore, it should be
noted that no VT MCB fail indication should be present during this condition.

Without relay pickup, minimum phase voltage becomes more than setting of
“Upe_VT Normal” for 500ms.

While the protection which relates to current is detected pick up, it will block
the VT failure supervision.

Without relay pickup, minimum phase voltage becomes more than setting of
“Upe_VT Normal” and at the same time, the calculated zero sequence or
negative sequence current of corresponding side becomes more than the
setting of “3I02_ VT Fail”.

Subsequent to reporting VT fail alarm, the blocking condition of respective


protection functions would be removed if without relay pickup, the minimum
phase voltage becomes more than the setting of “Upe_VT Normal” for a
duration more than 10s. Furthermore, it should be noted that no VT MCB
fail indication should be present during this condition.

203
Chapter 26 Station communication

1 Overview
Each IED is provided with a communication interface, enabling it to connect
to one ormany substation level systems or equipment.

Following communication protocols are available:

 IEC 61850-8-1 communication protocol

 60870-5-103 communication protocol

The IED is able to connect to one or more substation level systems or


equipments simultaneously, through the communication ports with
communication protocols supported.

1.1 Protocol

1.1.1 IEC61850-8 communication protocol

IEC 61850-8-1 allows two or more intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) from
one orseveral vendors to exchange information and to use it in the
performance of their functionsand for correct co-operation.

GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event), which is a part of IEC


61850-8-1standard, allows the IEDs to communicate state and control
information amongstthemselves, using a publish-subscribe mechanism.
That is, upon detecting an event, theIED(s) use a multi-cast transmission to
notify those devices that have registered to receivethe data. An IED can, by
publishing a GOOSE message, report its status. It can alsorequest a control
action to be directed at any device in the network.

1.1.2 IEC60870-5-103 communication protocol

The IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol is mainly used when a


protection IEDcommunicates with a third party control or monitoring system.
This system must havesoftware that can interpret the IEC 60870-5-103
communication messages.

The IEC 60870-5-103 is an unbalanced (master-slave) protocol for


coded-bit serialcommunication exchanging information with a control
system. In IEC terminology aprimary station is a master and a secondary
204
Chapter 26 Station communication

station is a slave. The communication is basedon a point-to-point principle.


The master must have software that can interpret the IEC60870-5-103
communication messages. For detailed information about IEC60870-5-103,
refer to the “IEC60870 standard” part 5: “Transmission protocols”, andto the
section 103: “Companion standard for the informative interface of
protectionequipment”.

1.2 Communication port

1.2.1 Front communication port

There is a RJ45 port on the front plate of all the IEDs. Through this port, the
IED can be connected to the personal computer for setting, testing, and
configuration using the dedicated Sifang software tool.

1.2.2 RS485 communication ports

One isolated electrical RS485 communication ports are provided to connect


with substation automation system, the ports can work in parallel for
IEC60870-5-103, and the other port can be used for time synchronization.

1.2.3 Ethernet communication ports

Up to 3 electrical Ethernet or 2 optical Ethernet communication ports are


provided to connect with substation automation system. These two ports
can work in parallel for one protocol, IEC61850 or IEC60870-5-103.

2.2 Alarm report list

Two kinds of alarm report are included in the IED, which are shown in the
following table:

 Alarm I is severe alarm. When alarm I happens, the alarm LED on the
front panel of the IED will flash, all of protection function will be out of
service and the trip power of protection will be blocked by the IED.

 Alarm II is other alarm. When alarm II happens, the alarm LED on the
front panel of the IED will flash (except “BI Set SetGr2” and “BI Set
SetGr1”), and will not block the trip power of protection.

5 CT Requirement
5.1 Overview
In practice, the conventional magnetic- core current transformer (hereinafter
as referred CT) is not able to transform the current signal accurately in whole
fault period of all possible faults because of manufactured cost and
installation space limited. CT Saturation will cause distortion of the current
signal and can result in a failure to operate or cause unwanted operations of
some functions. Although more and more protection IEDs have been
designed to permit CT saturation with maintained correct operation, the
performance of protection IED is still depended on the correct selection of CT.

5.2 Current transformer classification


The conventional CTs are usually manufactured in accordance with the
standard, IEC 60044, ANSI / IEEE C57.13, ANSI / IEEE C37.110 or other
comparable standards, which CTs are specified in different protection class.

Currently, the CT for protection are classified according to functional


performance as follows:

 Class P CT

Accuracy limit defined by composite error with steady symmetric primary


current. No limit for remanent flux.

 Class PR CT

CT with limited remanence factor for which, in some cased, a value of the

5.4 General current transformer requirements


5.4.1 Protective checking current

The current error of CT should be within the accuracy limit required at


specified fault current.

To verify the CT accuracy performance, Ipcf, primary protective checking


current, should be chose properly and carefully.

For different protections, Ipcf is the selected fault current in proper fault
position of the corresponding fault, which will flow through the verified CT.

To guarantee the reliability of protection relay, Ipcf should be the maximum


fault current at internal fault. E.g. maximum primary three phase short-circuit
fault current or single phase earth fault current depended on system
sequence impedance, in different positions.

Moreover, to guarantee the security of protection relay, Ipcf should be the


maximum fault current at external fault.

Lastbut not least, Ipcf calculation should be based on the future possible
system power capacity

Kpcf, protective checking factor, is always used to verified the CT


performance

To reduce the influence of transient state, Kalf,Accuracy limit factor of CT,


should be larger than the following requirement

[ 𝑡 𝑑 ]
>
[ 𝑡 𝑑 ]

Ks, Specified transient factor, should be decided based on actual operation


state and operation experiences by user.

290
Chapter 27 Appendix

5.4.2 CT class

The selected CT should guarantee that the error is within the required
accuracy limit at steady symmetric short circuit current. The influence of short
circuit current DC component and remanence should be considered, based
on extent of system transient influence, protection function characteristic,
consequence of transient saturation and actual operating experience. To fulfill
the requirement on a specified time to saturation, the rated equivalent
secondary e.m.f of CTs must higher than the required maximum equivalent
secondary e.m.f that is calculated based on actual application.

For the CTs applied to transmission line protection, transformer differential


protection with 330kV voltage level and above, and 300MW and above
generator-transformer set differential protection, the power system time
constant is so large that the CT is easy to saturate severely due to system
transient state. To prevent the CT from saturation at actual duty cycle, TP
class CT is preferred.

For TPS class CT, Eal (rated equivalent secondary limiting e.m.f) is generally
determined as follows:

= 𝐼 ( 𝑡 )

Where

Ks: Specified transient factor

Kssc: Rated symmetrical short-circuit current factor

For TPX, TPY and TPZ class CT, Eal (rated equivalent secondary limiting
e.m.f) is generally determined as follows:

= 𝑡𝑑 𝐼 ( 𝑡 )

Where

Ktd: Rated transient dimensioning factor

t”: duration of second duty cycle;

tfr: duration between two duty cycle;

For the CTs applied to 110 - 220kV voltage level transmission line protection,
110 - 220kV voltage level transformer differential protection, 100-200MW
generator-transformer set differential protection, and large capacity motor
differential protection, the influence of system transient state to CT is so less
that the CT selection is based on system steady fault state mainly, and leave
proper margin to tolerate the negative effect of possible transient state.
Therefore, P, PR, PX class CT can be always applied.

For P class and PR class CT, Esl (the rated secondary limited e.m.f) is
generally determined as follows:

= 𝐼 ( 𝑡 )

Kalf: Accuracy limit factor

For PX class CT, Ek (rated knee point e.m.f) is generally determined as


follows:

= 𝐼 ( 𝑡 )

Kx: Demensioning factor

For the CTs applied to protection for110kV voltage level and below system,
the CT should be selected based on system steady fault state condition. P
class CT is always applied.

5.4.3 Accuracy class

The CT accuracy class should guarantee that the protection relay applied is
able to operate correctly even at a very sensitive setting, e.g. for a sensitive
residual overcurrent protection. Generally, the current transformer should
have an accuracy class, which have an current error at rated primary current,
that is less than ±1% (e.g. class 5P).

If current transformers with less accuracy are used it is advisable to check the
actual unwanted residual current during the commissioning.

292
Chapter 27 Appendix

5.4.4 Ratio of CT

The current transformer ratio is mainly selected based on power system data
like e.g. maximum load. However, it should be verified that the current to the
protection is higher than the minimum operating value for all faults that are to
be detected with the selected CT ratio. The minimum operating current is
different for different functions and settable normally. So each function should
be checked separately.

5.4.5 Rated secondary current

There are 2 standard rated secondary currents, 1A or 5A. Generally, 1 A


should be preferred, particularly in HV and EHV stations, to reduce the
burden of the CT secondary circuit. Because 5A rated CTs, i.e. I 2R is 25x
compared to only 1x for a 1A CT. However, in some cases to reduce the CT
secondary circuit open voltage, 5A can be applied.

5.4.6 Secondary burden

Too high flux will result in CT saturation. The secondary e.m.f is directly
proportional to linked flux. To feed rated secondary current, CT need to
generate enough secondary e.m.f to feed the secondary burden.
Consequently, Higher secondary burden, need Higher secondary e.m.f, and
then closer to saturation. So the actual secondary burden R’b must be less
than the rated secondary burden Rb of applied CT, presented

Rb > R’b

The CT actual secondary burden R’b consists of wiring loop resistance Rlead
and the actual relay burdens Zb in whole secondary circuit, which is
calculated by following equation

R’b = Rlead + Zb

The rated relay burden, Zbn, is calculated as below:

= 2
𝐼
Where
Sr: the burden of IED current input channel per phase, in VA;

For earth faults, the loop includes both phase and neutral wire, normally twice
the resistance of the single secondary wire. For three-phase faults the neutral
current is zero and it is just necessary to consider the resistance up to the

293
Chapter 27 Appendix

point where the phase wires are connected to the common neutral wire. The
most common practice is to use four wires secondary cables so it normally is
sufficient to consider just a single secondary wire for the three-phase case.

In isolated or high impedance earthed systems the phase-to-earth fault is not


the considered dimensioning case and therefore the resistance of the single
secondary wire always can be used in the calculation, for this case.

5.5 Rated equivalent secondary e.m.f requirements


To guarantee correct operation, the current transformers (CTs) must be able
to correctly reproduce the current for a minimum time before the CT will begin
to saturate.
