0.2 kW Protective Relaying Training System, LabVolt Series

General Description
The 0.2 kW Protective Relaying Training System is a complete program that extends training in protective
relaying beyond the operation and calibrations of individual relays into broader circuit applications. The
program provides hands-on training at the system level in Generator Protection, Transformer Protection, and
Induction Motor Protection.
The 0.2 kW Protective Relaying Training System consists of several modules, which can be divided into five
groups: Common Electrical Modules, Power System Modules (Series 3700), Protective Relaying Control Station,
Protective Relays (Series 3800), and Additional and Optional Equipment. These modules are described in detail
below:
Common Electrical Modules – Power supply, synchronous generator, induction motor, prime mover /
dynamometer, resistive loads, voltmeters, ammeters, and others. Most of these modules are part of the 0.2 kW
ElectroMechanical System (EMS), Model 8001 or 8006.
Power System Modules, Series 3700 – Modules specially designed for training in the protective relaying area,
including current transformers, voltage transformers, power transformers, source impedances, a transmission
grid, and others. These modules are designed to be installed in an EMS workstation.
Protective Relaying Control Station – A mobile rack for protective relay operation, including a dc power supply,
dc control relays for system studies, and an interconnection panel to facilitate connection of the protective
relays to the system to be protected.
Protective Relays, Series 3800 – Selection of protective relays. Each relay is mounted on a metal panel which
facilitates relay installation in the Protective Relaying Control Station. Each relay panel is equipped with fault
switches that allow fault insertion for troubleshooting at the system level. The following types of protective
relays are available: undercurrent/overcurrent, undervoltage/overvoltage, synchronism check, underfrequency/
over-frequency, phase balance, phase sequence, reverse power, and power factor.
Additional and Optional Equipment – Various modules, such as distribution busses, a ring bus, transmission
lines, distribution transformers, protective relays, and reactive loads are available. These modules can be added
to the basic 0.2 kW Protective Relaying Training System to allow the instructor to create more elaborate hands-
on exercises.
The 0.2 kW Protective Relaying Training System courseware consists of a student manual and an instructor
guide. The student manual is divided into several units, each consisting of a series of hands-on exercises
dealing with one of the fields of protective relaying mentioned above. Each exercise provides a clearly stated
objective, a discussion, textbook references, a summary of the exercise procedure, a detailed exercise
procedure, a conclusion, and a set of review questions. A ten-question test at the end of each unit allows the
student to verify what was learned in the unit. Completion of some exercises in the student manual requires a
digital storage oscilloscope and a digital multimeter, which must be purchased separately.
The instructor guide contains the practical results as well as the answers for each hands-on exercise in the
student manual. It also contains the answers to the unit test questions in the student manual. The reference
textbook provides more elaborate discussions of the theory presented in the student manual.
The prerequisites for the 0.2 kW Protective Relaying Training System include: completion of a course in relay
operation and calibration, and completion of a course in electric power technology that covers electric power
generation, power transformers, and induction motors.
The modular structure of the 0.2 kW Protective Relaying Training System, together with the subdivision of
student manuals into topical units, enables instructors to choose equipment that matches their budgets while
progressively enhancing their systems over time.

Source Impedance
586136 (3765-1A)
The Source Impedance consists of three inductors, one for each
phase of a three-phase AC power network, installed in a half-
height EMS module. An additional resistor, of small resistance
value, is connected in series with each inductor to keep the
reactance-resistance (X/R) ratio of the source impedance close
to that of the synchronous generator. The Source Impedance
module is designed to limit the short-circuit current drawn from
the ac power source when response of protective relays is being
tested.

Synchronizing Module
586744 (8621-0A)
The Synchronizing Module is a power control device enclosed in
a half-size EMS module. The Synchronizing Module is mainly
used to synchronize two ac generators. It can also be used to
determine the phase sequence in three-phase circuits. The
synchronizing Module has three indicator lamps indicating the
relative voltage difference between two circuits. The brightness
of the indicator lamps increases with the voltage difference
between the two circuits. The Synchronizing Module has a three-
phase switch mounted on the module front panel. This three-
phase switch is a triple-pole, single-throw switch. Each phase
leg of the three-phase switch is protected against overcurrents and short-circuits by a thermal-magnetic circuit
breaker.

The Power Supply cannot supply all the amounts of current indicated by the current ratings on its front panel at
the same time. The current indicated for the fixed ac three-phase output section can only be obtained if no
current is drawn from any other section, because this section is protected by the main circuit breaker common to
*Note every section. If currents flow in other sections, the available current for the fixed ac three-phase output section
decreases. The variable ac output section and the variable dc output section are protected by a common set of
circuit breakers placed after the fixed ac three-phase output section, which means that the current capacity has
to be shared between the two sections. For instance, if current of the variable dc output section is at 70% of its

Mobile Workstation (Optional)


579755 (8110-20)
The Mobile Workstation is a ready-for-use workstation that consists of two
fully assembled modules: a Workstation mounted on a Mobile Storage
Cabinet. Four rubber-tire swivel casters allow easy movement of the
workstation in the laboratory classroom. The lower portion of the
workstation serves as a storage cabinet with two hinged panels and a lock
handle. Immediately above the storage cabinet is a pullout work surface
with a scuff- and burn-resistant laminate finish. The upper portion of the
workstation consists of three rows of compartments designed to house EMS
modules. Two of these rows have full-height compartments while the other
row has half-height compartments. Each row of full-height compartments
can accommodate up to three full-size EMS modules or six half-size EMS
modules, whereas the row of half-height compartments can accommodate
up to three half-size EMS modules.

Module Installation
The EMS modules are guided into position along stainless steel guide rails. Separators between each bay of the
workstation ensure perfect alignment of the EMS modules and allow their easy insertion in the workstation. A
holding mechanism ensures that each EMS module stays in place once it is installed in a compartment of the
workstation. Front-mounted push levers allow all EMS modules on a single row to be released for easy removal.

Safety Padlock Bars


Two safety padlock bars on the front of the workstation prevent students from removing EMS modules during
laboratory exercises. The bars can be removed and locked to the side of the workstation when the safety lock is
not necessary.

Resistive Load (Optional)


579515 (8311-0A)
The Resistive Load consists of a module housing nine wire-
wound power resistors arranged in three identical banks. Each
bank consists of three resistors connected in parallel that can be
switched on or off with toggle switches to obtain various
resistance values. This allows the total (equivalent) resistance of
each bank to be increased or decreased by steps. Six safety
banana jacks on the module front panel provide access to each
resistor bank. The three resistor banks can be connected
separately for operation in three-phase circuits. Also, the three
resistor banks can be connected together for operation in single-
phase circuits.
The Resistive Load is commonly used in conjunction with other basic load modules, like the Inductive Load and
the Capacitive Load to experiment with the effects of different types of loads on a circuit.

AC Ammeter (Optional)
581412 (8425-0A)
The AC Ammeter module is fitted with three separate multi-
range ac ammeters for simultaneous measurement of three-
phase currents. Two of the three meters have identical ranges
while the third instrument has one additional higher range for
measurement of the starting current of single-phase motors.
Meter ranges and scalar values of each instrument have been
carefully selected for compatibility and are appropriate for the
electrical values to be measured. All meter readings are direct
indications and do not require the indicated value to be mentally
multiplied by a constant.
All meters are diode-protected against burnout, should the students miswire a meter by range or function. This
permits the greatest latitude of student involvement without fear of damaging equipment. All meters are
terminated by 4 mm color-coded safety sockets.
