2.5. RECORDING

2.5.1. EVENT RECORDER

This function is used to verify shortly the operated history or log of FTU in normal
operation and fault situation. Event recording is triggered by power reset, set value change,
operation of protection functions, system error or self-diagnosis, etc., and events can be
stored including event occurred time, measured values of current/voltage and operation
description. And, this recording function follows the FIFO (First In First Out) rule. Stored
events can be uploaded to and listed on FTU Maintenance Software (FTUMan) through
RS232C port on front panel.

2.5.2. WAVEFORM EVENT RECORDER

Fault & PQM waveforms recording function are used to store the measured instantaneous
current/voltage values of pre-fault and post-fault at 128 samples per cycle. Record length,
trigger source and trigger position of pre/post-fault in recorded data are adjustable. The
record types are 128 samples * 40 cycles, 64 samples * 80 cycles, 32 samples * 160 cycles, 16
samples * 320 cycles.

According to the purpose, operators can set the fault recording trigger source and trigger
position of pre-fault/post-fault. Trigger position means the percentage position in recorded
fault data, and the pre-fault data are recorded before this point and rest of the data are
recorded as the post-fault after this point. The recorded fault waveforms are also uploaded
to FTU PC S/W, and current/voltage waveforms at fault and protection elements operation
can be analyzed with fault evaluation.

This waveform recording function follows the COMTRADE file format rule.

4.1.9. RECLOSE/PROTECTION/GROUND ENABLE BUTTONS AND LEDS

These buttons are used to enable and disable the corresponding function.

RECLOSER ENABLED button enables or disables reclosing function. In disable mode,


the recloser is locked out after the 1st trip.

PROTECTION ENABLED button enables or disables protection function. If it is


disabled, all protection function will be blocked even though each function is enabled.

GROUND ENABLED button enables or disables ground fault protection function. It is


a final “enable mask” for ground fault.

4.1.10. REMOTE/HOT LINE TAG BUTTONS AND LEDS

REMOTE button indicates operator place for recloser manual control. If Remote is
enabled, the switching operation will be allowed only from SCADA master. If it is disabled,
operator can operate recloser using button on the front panel or through FTUMan.

HOT LINE TAG button enables the Recloser to go to maintenance mode. In this mode,
FTU will trip the recloser at fault but will not initiate reclosing. And this mode will enable
the separate fault protection element, Hot line fault protection. Generally the protection can
be set as faster, more sensitive than normal OC protection for maintenance workers’ safety.

4.1.11. SELECT/OPEN/CLOSE BUTTONS AND LEDS

These buttons are used to control (OPEN/CLOSE) the Recloser locally. Before local
control command, check first if the control position is at LOCAL. Pushing SELECT button is
required before Open or Close command for secure operation with two-step. This concept is
similar to SBO (Select Before Operate) in communication protocol. To manually and locally
control the Recloser, SELECT button should be pressed to make the corresponding LED on
first. Selected status by SELECT button is sustained until Close or Open command is issued
or SBO time elapses. “Close delay” will be applied for local close operation through the
button or FTUMan.

4.1.12. PROGRAMMABLE BUTTONS AND INDICATORS

There are 3 programmable buttons and indicators on the front panel. The function of
these buttons can be defined through FTUMan Software or on LCD Display.

5. PROTECTION FUNCTIONS

5.1. OVERCURRENT PROTOECTION

FTU-R200i has 3 kinds of overcurrent protection, OC (50/51) for phase fault, GOC
(50N/51N) for ground fault, and negative-sequence OC (50Q/51Q). These have same setting
parameter structure.

Each OC element consists of 4 stages OC, inverse time over-current (TOC), definite time
over-current (DTOC), and two instantaneous over-current protection (IOC1, IOC1)

Inverse time overcurrent has 65 types of TC (time-current) curves including ANSI, IEC
standard curves, and 4 customized curves which can be composed using maintenance
software. One of those curves can be selected for fast and delayed operation respectively
with different curve adjustments. Depending on reclosing sequence and setting of fast
operation count, fast or delayed element is applied for TOC.

Basically, built-in curves have inverse time characteristics, but can be easily adjusted by
three parameters such as multiplier, time adder and minimum response time. In
engineering step, the selection and adjustments of TC curves shall be done for the
protection coordination with other protection devices in the feeder.

36
Time Multiplier is multiplied to the operating time of basic curve (TDM=1.0), then
Time Adder is added to the operating time of the curve adjusted by multiplier. Minimum
Response Time defines the fastest operating time of the curve.

The following tables describe built-in TC curve type and the corresponding numbers in
the setting. TC curve graphs are shown in the appendix.

5.1.1. EXAMPLE OF TC CURVE EDITING

3-parameters are applied in the following order. The values below are examples.

 Time Multiplier : 1.5

 Time Adder : 0.03

 Minimum Response Time : 0.1

In the next figure, for example, the curve A is the basic curve. Assume the operating time
of the basic curve (A) at 16 times pickup current is 0.04 sec. When applying Time
Multiplier, curve ‘A’ changes its shape, that is, the curve becomes less steep in time axis
and operation time becomes longer by a multiplier at the same current value like ‘B’ in the
figure. The operating time at 16 times pickup becomes 0.06 sec. Then Time Adder shall be
applied. The operating time of the resulting curve ‘C’ is 0.09sec. Finally Minimum
Response Time cuts the curve part, which is shorter than this time. Then the actual
operating time of the example at 16 times becomes 0.1sec.

Figure 5-1 TC Curve Editing Example 1

40
There are three additional definite time over-current elements (DTOC, IOC1 and IOC2) in
the controller. The next figure shows 3-stage over-current protection characteristics.
The third stage is prepared for instantaneous protection. Therefore the harmonic restraint
is not applied to third stage elements, but the second stage definite time over-current
element.

5.1.2. TIME OVERCURRENT (TOC)

TOC has inverse time over-current characteristics. Phase overcurrent protection (51),
negative overcurrent protection (51Q), ground overcurrent (earth fault) protection (51N)
have their own TOC element respectively as a first stage of overcurrent protection.

This protection element can be used as an alarm function or trip function. If this
parameter is set as “alarm”, the protection will give an alarm without actual trip at
fault. “Off “disables this protection.

This parameter defines starting level of the protection. Phase currents, neutral current
(3Io) or negative sequence current are used for those protection 51, 51N, 51Q.

Curve type and parameters for adjustment. Please refer to the previous section.

• [Reset Type]

It defines reset characteristics of inverse time overcurrent like an induction disc type
relay. If it is set to “RDMT”, [Reset Definite Time] will be applied for total resetting of
protection curve when the current goes down below the pickup level. If [Reset Definite
Time] is zer0, the protection will be reset instantaneously when the current is smaller
than pickup. RIDMT can be applied only to IEEE standard curve or customized curve.
IEEE standard defines also reset characteristics for inverse TOC curve. If RIDMT is set
to others, it will operate as “RDMT”.

5.1.3. DEFINITE TIME OVERCURRENT (DTOC)

Definite time element is an alternative to inverse time protection. It works by tripping the
recloser at a fixed time after pick-up. The combination of inverse curve and definite time
element makes the protection coordination easier. The definite time element follows the
same reclosing sequence with the inverse time element.

For example in the below figure, the reclosing sequence is organized in 2F2D, which
means the Recloser protection function operates as Fast element during first 2 reclosing
shots and operates as Time-Delayed element during last 2 reclosing shots. This
composition also can be configured.

Figure 5-3 Permanent Fault: 3 shot Reclosing & 2F2D

For temporary fault, if the fault is removed before the preset Reclosing Count and no fault
is detected during the preset Reset Time, then the reclosing sequence is initialized to
normal operation standby mode. When a fault is detected again during the Reset Time, the
Recloser will be locked out after the remaining reclosing counts excluding the previously
operated reclosing counts.

5.1.8. COLD LOAD PICKUP

Cold Load Pickup is the function which allows load current larger than the pickup
value of inverse-time overcurrent protection to be carried on without fault detection during
set interval. It’s achieved by adjusting the pickup value with the multiplier during the
interval. This function is useful to avoid unwanted trip of the line in which loads with big
starting current like arc furnace are connected. This function is enabled when the line is
energized only after recloser lockout or outage more than 180sec. After coldload time, the
coldload function is completed.

If the measured current is larger than the multiples of pickup, FTU regards the situation
as an actual fault. In that case trip and reclosing sequence is same as normal operation.
During reclosing sequence before lockout, coldload pickup is not applied any more.

5.1.9. INRUSH RESTRAINT

Inrush Restraint is to prevent mis-operation of fault detection elements due to inrush


current at the situation of energization of the line. Inrush current may be caused by
magnetizing of transformers on the line and charging current of capacitors. Inrush restraint
can be achieved by two methods. Inrush multiplier and time can be applied to restrain the
operation of fault detection at the time of closing (manual or automatic) or energizing of the
line. The current larger than the multiplier during the inrush time is regarded as a fault. So
normal tripping and reclosing is performed. Alternative method is 2nd harmonic current
based restraint.

Inrush situation is determined by monitoring by 2nd harmonic components in the current.


When transformers in the line are energized, magnetizing causes inrush current. The
current involves large 2nd harmonic current relatively. So to distinguish inrush situation
from fault while the current flows larger than the pickup value, the percentage of 2nd
harmonics current to fundamental frequency current can be used.

The restraint by multiplier is applied to inverse time overcurrent element and the
restraint by 2nd harmonic is applied to inverse time overcurrent and definite time element,
not to high current element.

The setting parameters of Inrush restraint function is as the following.

5.1.11. SEQUENCE COORDINATION

Recloser can be equipped with two types of TC trip curves depending on reclosing shot.
The curves are called as fast and delay element and can be set separately with different
kinds of curves.

For example, if the total operation count is set to 4 and fast operation count is set to 2,
recloser trips two times by fast element curve first and trips by delay element before lockout.
The setting is normally called as ‘2F2D’.

Sequence coordination function can be used in the case which more than one recloser is
used in series in the same distribution line. The purpose of the function is to synchronize to
use the fast and delay element for recloser in series during reclosing sequence. For
explanation, assume that two reclosers are installed in the line as the following picture.

A B
2F2D 2F2D
Fault

Figure 5-6 2 reclosers are installed in the line

When a fault is occurred in the load-side of recloser B, the fast element of A and B sees
the fault simultaneously. But normally B trips first before A reaches the trip point according
to TC curve setting based on the time coordination between A and B.

After B trips the fault, B waits dead time and prepare 2nd trip element (fast element also
for 2nd trip in this case) before first reclosing. In this situation, A also detects the fault. But A
didn’t trip the line. Instead of tripping, A detected the de-energized line before tripping. In
this case B also prepares the protection element as the 2nd trip element (fast element).

If the fault is sustained, the same sequence is repeated. So A and B goes to the 3rd trip
element (delay element) together. The third tripping can be done by B if the delay elements
of A and B are coordinated. If the sequence coordination of A is not enabled, A will trip by
fast element before B trips by delay element because the fast element is set faster than the
delay element normally. That’s not desired situation.

In conclusion, the sequence coordination function is that source-side recloser monitors


load-side reclosing sequence and follows the same protection element as load-side recloser.

5.2. SENSITIVE EARTH FAULT (SEF) DETECTION

On the non-grounded network, it is hard to detect fault current because ground current of
non-grounded network is much low. Therefore, FTU-R200 is designed to measure zero-
sequence values from either external core Balanced Current Transformer (or ZCT) or
Residual Connection of 3 Phase Current Transformers to detect earth fault in the non-
grounded network. This function is generally called SEF detection.

In case of earth fault in the non-grounded network, since very small fault current due to
line capacitance component flows into the fault point from both sides, SEF detection also
considers the fault direction even in the radial network. Maximum Torque Angle is for
setting the phase difference between zero-sequence voltage and zero-sequence current, and
the protection zone is between -90° and +90° on the basis of Maximum Torque Angle. And
it can be used for alarm or Trip.

Figure 5-7 Phasor Diagram of SEF

There is an alternative pickup method of neutral current. Normally while the magnitude
of neutral current is larger than pickup setting regardless of phase of the neutral current,
3Io is picked up for SEF to operate. Alternatively in case that “IoCos pickup mode” is
enabled with “Yes”, 3Io will be picked up only while 3IoCos is larger than pickup setting like
the [Figure 5-8].

The following picture describes fault current flows and phasor diagram in faulted section
and un-faulted section of ungrounded distribution lines. The zero sequence current
direction in faulted section is opposite to the current in un-faulted section. So the direction
of zero sequence current compared to zero sequence voltage can be used to discriminate
fault direction. Like the following diagram, the maximum torque angle 90o is normally used
for detection of earth fault in ungrounded network.

5.3. INTERMITENT EARTH FAULT (IEF) PROTECTION

Intermittent earth fault protection detects very narrow fault current pulse and compares
the magnitude of peak with setting level (“3Io peak detect level”). And if current peak
exceeds the setting level and zero sequence voltage (fundamental frequency) is larger than
“-3Vo start level”, IEF will be started. The current peak detection will be held for “Start off-
delay time”. So this time shall be set longer than the maximum intermittent time of
expected faults.

The fault direction will be determined by comparing the sign of current pulse to the sign
of VO instant sample. If signs of current pulse and VO are same, the result direction will be
forward. If the signs are opposite, the direction will be reverse.

So if the start status is maintained and the direction is matched with setting, the
operating timer will run and finally trip output will be issued after the operating time
expires.

5.4. DIRECTION DETECTION

Direction detection is to allow or block to trip faults on a designated side of the Recloser.
This directional element can be added to the phase and ground overcurrent protection by
setting.

Positive sequence voltage and current are used to detect the direction of phase fault. And
zero sequence voltage and current are used to detect the direction of ground fault. The
following picture describes the angular relationship between sequence voltage and current.
Additionally there is a negative sequence direction element for directional negative
sequence overcurrent protection. It has same angular relationship using negative sequence
voltage (V2) and current (I2). Thresholds are used to avoid getting wrong direction due to
small sequence values.

The following picture shows the phasor diagram of 3 phase voltages and currents of
single-phase earth fault situation in grounded network. In the example, the zero sequence
current (3Io) is produced dominantly by A-phase fault current. It shows the maximum
torque angle 330o is proper to decide the fault direction.

Positive sequence voltage (V1) and current (I1) are used for phase-to-phase fault with
same principle as -3Vo and 3Io.

When a fault is detected by phase or ground overcurrent element, the positive and zero
sequence directional elements will give the fault direction respectively if V1 and I1, -3Vo and
3Io (=In) quantities at the moment of the fault are larger than thresholds. If both elements
produce different direction, the final direction will be determined by the positive element
like the following table.

I1 threshold should be set with sufficiently large so that the positive sequence of load
current should not override the direction of ground fault determined by zero sequence
element at the condition which only ground overcurrent operates.

5.15. LOOP AUTOMATION SCHEME

This scheme enables serially connected reclosers to isolate fault section and restore power
supply into healthy section automatically without additional peer-to-peer communication
among reclosers. In order to achieve this function, line voltage condition will be monitored
and sometime delays will be used with automatic setting group change function.

Figure 5-17 Loop automation scheme

• Switch Location

 SS: (Substation) Closest to the substation feeder.

 MID: in the mid position of the line.

 TIE: at the tie position of two feeders.

In the above example picture, R1 will be set as “SS”, R2 as “MID” and R3 as “TIE”.

Protection function like overcurrent will trip the recloser to remove a fault on the
downstream of the line. Besides the protection function, Recloser can be opened by voltage
loss condition if the loop automation scheme is enabled.

• [No-Voltage Detect]

Number of phases involving voltage loss to trigger automatic open. If this parameter is
set to “1”, even single phase voltage loss will start the logic. Whereas if the setting is “3”,
only 3 phases voltage loss will start the scheme.

• [No-Voltage Counts to Lockout]

“No-Voltage” means de-energization of the distribution line by fault trip of an


upstream breaker. Numbers of trips may occur repeatedly by reclosing within reset
time. If the number of detected line off condition reaches to this setting, FTU will
block automatic close when the line is restored.

63
• [No-Voltage Counts before Open], [Open delay Time]

If the loop automation scheme is enabled and the recloser is installed in the middle of
the line, FTU will open recloser automatically at [Open Delay Time] after the line off is
detected by the number of [No-Voltage Counts before Open]. This count or delay can
be used to allow fast reclosing of upstream breaker for temporary fault without
opening of downstream reclosers.

• [NC Closing at Live-Live]

If this is set to “Yes”, FTU will close automatically when both sides of recloser are
restored.

• [NC Closing Time]

This time allows upstream protection relay to operate again for the sustained fault
before automatic closing when the recloser was opened by the automation scheme. If
deenergization occurs again within this time, the recloser will lockout without
automatic closing even the downstream side is energized from other source. This
blocks recloser to close into fault section from back-feed source.

• [Lockout Time (Only for SS)]

This parameter is applied only to “SS” mode. If this time expires after voltage loss
without re-energizing, recloser will be locked out with open status.

• [Reset Time]

This time is used to reset counting voltage loss.

• [NO Source Select]

When the recloser is used for normal open tie switch, this parameter determines which
direction the switch will close into automatically. If this is set to “ABC->RST”, the
switch will close only when RST side of the switch is de-energized. If this is set to
“RST->ABC”, the switch will close only when ABC side of the switch is deenergized. If
this is set to “BOTH”, the switch will close when any side of the switch is deenergized.
If this is set to “OFF”, the switch will not close automatically at any condition.

• [NO Closing Time]

If this time expires after one side of the switch is de-energized, the recloser will be
closed automatically.

64
• [NO Auto Open at Restoration]

6.2.2. SHORT-DURATION VOLTAGE VARIATION

There are three types of short-duration voltage variations, namely, instantaneous,


momentary and temporary, depending on its duration. Short-duration voltage variations
are caused by fault conditions, energization of large loads, which require high starting
currents or loose connections in power wiring. Depending on the fault location and the
system conditions, the fault can generate sags, swells or interruptions. The fault condition
can be close to or remote from the point of interest. During the actual fault condition, the
effect of the voltage is of short-duration variation until protective devices operate to clear
the fault.

6.2.2.1. Sag

A sag (also known as dip) is a reduction to between 0.5 and 0.99 pu in RMS voltage or
current at the power frequency for a short period of time from 0.5 to 10 cycles. A 10% sag is
considered an event during which the RMS voltage decreased by 10% to 0.9 pu. Voltage sags
are widely recognized as among the most common and important aspects of power quality
problems affecting industrial and commercial customers. They are particularly troublesome,
since they occur randomly and are difficult to predict.

76
Voltage sags are normally associated with system faults on the distribution system, such
as sudden increase in system loads, lightning strikes or starting of large load like induction
motors. It is not possible to eliminate faults on a system. One of the most common causes of
faults occurring on high-voltage transmission systems is a lightning strike. When there is a
fault caused by a lightning strike, the voltage can sag to 50% of the standard range and can
last from four to seven cycles. Most loads will be tripped off when encounter this type of
voltage level. Possible effect of voltage sags would be system shutdown or reduce efficiency
and life span of electrical equipment, particularly motors.

Equipment sensitivity to voltage sag occurs randomly and has become the most serious
power quality problem affecting many industries and commercial customers presently. An
industrial monitoring program determined an 87% voltage disturbances could be associate
to voltage sags. Most of the fault on the utility transmission and distribution system are
single line-to-ground faults (SLGF).

6.2.2.2. Swell

A swell (also known as momentary overvoltage) is an increase in RMS voltage or current


at the power frequency between 1.01 and 1.5 Pu for duration from 0.5 to 10 cycles. Swells
are commonly caused by system conditions, switching off a large load or energizing a large
capacitor bank. A swell can occur during a single line-to-ground fault (SLGF) with a
temporary voltage rise on the unfaulted phases. They are not as common as voltage sags
and are characterized also by both the magnitude and duration. During a fault condition,
the severity of a voltage swell is very much dependent on the system impedance, location of
the fault and grounding. The effect of this type of disturbance would be hardware failure in
the equipment due to overheating.

6.2.2.3. Interruption

An interruption occurs when there is a reduction of the supply voltage or load current
between 0.1 and 0.49 pu for duration from 0.5 to 10 cycles. Possible causes would be circuit
breakers responding to overload, lightning and faults. Interruptions are the result of
equipment failures, power system faults and control malfunctions. They are characterized
by their duration as the voltage magnitude is always less than 10% of the nominal. The
duration of an interruption can be irregular due to equipment malfunctions or loose
connections. The duration of an interruption due to a fault on the utility system is
determined by the utility protective devices operating time.

7. STATUS MONITORING & CONTROL

7.1. SWITCH (RECLOSER) STATUS MONITORING

FTU has 10 binary inputs. These inputs can be assigned to monitor switch open/close, gas
low and lock status of switch (Recloser) body through auxiliary contacts. FTU scans these
contacts input every 5 milliseconds. Switch open/close status is determined by double
binary inputs, normally open and closed contacts. All input status are shown on LCD or
FTUMan and are transmitted to master station on its request. Changed status can be
transmitted unsolicitedly with or without time and are recorded on non-volatile memory as
events with time tag in history buffer orderly. For each contact input, on-delay time can be
applied. It’s adjustable within 10~500ms by 5ms step. The time is used to debounce the
contact input and suppress unnecessary events. And each input can be used to affect control
action, block open or close control, or force to trip or close main switch or recloser. The
following picture is an example window of I/O configuration tool. Here the name for each
input can be configured. Configured name is shown also on LCD display. Invert mask can be
used to invert the active state of the corresponding input.

Figure 7-1 Binary Input Configuration

86
87
7.2. SWITCH CONTROL

FTU has 4 binary contacts output and 2 high-speed output command. These output are
used to control Switch or output alarms.

Switch (Recloser) can be controlled from remote or local operator place. Operator place
can be changed only at local front panel. ‘REMOTE CONTROL’ push button is to select the
operator place. Operator place is toggled between local and remote by pushing button. LED
is lit if remote position is selected. FTU begins with remote position at power-up. Control is
allowed only at the position selected.

Local switch control requires two-step operation. It’s for security of operation. ‘SELECT’
button should be pushed before ‘CLOSE’ or ‘OPEN’. SELECT LED is lit if SELECT operation
is valid. SELECT can be canceled by pushing SELECT button again or automatically after
SBO timeout without operation. CLOSE or OPEN operation is valid while this LED is lit.
Pushing CLOSE or OPEN button outputs switch control signal with fixed time pulse which
is configurable. Switch status change input which is auxiliary contacts of switch stops
continuing to output pulse. There are some interlock conditions to inhibit FTU from
outputting pulse signal.

Gas low, Switch handle lock, same status of switch auxiliary contacts ‘a’, ‘b’ are those. And
there is “control lock” button. Control lock mode inhibits the manual switch operation from
RTU. So it’s useful to avoid inadvertent operation. The status is toggled when the button is
pushed.

Close or open pulse width shall be set longer than switch operating time.

Remote switch control is possible by using SCADA protocol DNP3.0 or IEC60870-5-101,


IEC60870-5-104. FTU supports SBO (Select Before Operate) or Direct operate. If the
operator place is set to ‘Local’, remote control commands are refused. Pulse width of remote
control command shorter than setting will be overridden by local configuration

The control command at remote or local and control failure status due to mechanism will
be recorded in the event list and give the master station the confirmation signal of the
command and failure status.

 Confirmation of command opening

This signal will be active when the open command outputs to the switch without any
blocking condition and will be reset when the open command output is finished.

 Confirmation of command close

This signal will be active when the close command outputs to the switch without any
blocking condition and will be reset when the close command output is finished.

88
 Mechanism failure alarm

This signal will be active when the switch status is not changed after the close or open
command outputs. Next successful control operation or restarting FTU will reset this
status.

Additionally control cable disconnection can be monitored and alarmed with the
connection of status to status input connector of FTU.

7.3. BATTERY & BATTERY CHARGER MONITORING

FTU monitors external Lead-acid battery through the control unit, which are mounted on
inner back-side wall of control box. The control unit contains microprocessor based battery
charger. It measures battery terminal voltage and charging voltage. So it can check charger
over-voltage and battery fail or battery low status while external AC supply is off. So it
provides battery voltage values and alarm status which is the result of continuous check.
Provided information details are like the followings.

- External AC power loss

- Battery low alarm

- High battery voltage alarm

- Battery failed alarm

- Battery charger failure or overvoltage alarm

- Grounded battery

The control unit has also the over-discharge protection. If over-discharge condition
occurred, the control unit sends alarm signal “Battery Low” to RTU and disconnect battery
in order to protect battery cell damage after 1-minute delay. The delay enables RTU to send
alarm state to remote station via communication.

Battery test function is provided. This function is performed by disconnecting charging


voltage to battery and connecting dummy load to battery. The battery test command can be
received at local or remote. And also automatic test is available through setting.

8. MEASUREMENTS

8.1. BASIC ELECTRIC QUANTITIES

FTU has 4 currents and 6 voltages input. DSP digitizes these signals using 16 bits A/D
converter and calculates various electric quantities numerically from those digitized data.
As a result, FTU gives true RMS, all power and energy values for 3-phase voltages and
currents. FTU presents also phasor quantities calculated through fundamental power
frequency components extracted by FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) algorithm. FFT is
performed every millisecond using 128 samples for 1 cycle. True RMS is calculated every
cycle. All electrical quantities are provided with the average value for 200ms (10cycle for
50Hz, 12cycle for 60Hz). Analog filters and digital filters are used to minimize the effects of
high frequency noise in the input signals. And the calibration is performed in the factory
before delivery using precise current and voltage signal generator. The calibration
compensates the measurements error caused by the components in the circuit of input.
Provided electric quantities are listed in the following.

Currents (Ia, Ib, Ic, In) RMS, Phase Angle, True RMS

Voltage (Va, Vb, Vc, Vr, Vs, Vt) RMS, Phase Angle, True RMS

Apparent Power A-Phase, B-Phase, C-Phase, 3-Phase Total,

Active Power A-Phase, B-Phase, C-Phase, 3-Phase Total,

Reactive Power A-Phase, B-Phase, C-Phase, 3-Phase Total,

Power Factor A-Phase, B-Phase, C-Phase, 3-Phase Total,

Va-Vr Phase Angle Difference

Current, Voltage Unbalance

Frequency, Temperature

In the above items listed, active power, reactive power values are signed integer. Sign
represents power flow or if loads are inductive or capacitive. Also power factor has lead/lag
state value separately.

Currents and voltages have phase angles, which are relative phase angles compared to the
reference VA. These angles are useful to monitor the phase sequence and imbalance of
distribution line.

91
8.2. SEQUENCE COMPONENTS

FTU provides the sequence components of 3-phase currents and voltages. They are
positive sequence current (I1) and voltage (V1), negative sequence current (I2) and voltage
(V2), and zero sequence voltage (V0) which are calculated by 3-phase phasor quantities. This
information can be used to monitor imbalance of distribution line.

8.3. HARMONICS

FTU provides 2nd to 31st harmonic magnitudes and THDs (Total Harmonic Distortion) for
each phase. THD is the total harmonic percentage to the fundamental frequency component.
FTU also calculates and provides 3-phase THD. These values may be used to monitor the
power quality of distribution line.

8.4. ENERGY

FTU provides active energy, reactive energy for each phase or 3-phase total. Also import,
export energy are accumulated on separate registers. Units of energy are kWh, kVarh, which
represent primary distribution line energy flow. The values are accumulated on 32-bit and
16-bit kWh, kVarh counters which rollovers. The 32-bit register is for local display and the
16-bit register is to transmit energy data to SCADA like the following picture.

SCADA

Figure 8-1 Structure of energy counter

Normally in order to accumulate energy values, SCADA system reads 16-bit energy
counter in FTU periodically and calculates increments between two readings and adds the
increments to energy register in SCADA. DNP3.0 or IEC protocol supports the function of
counter objects to accumulate energy value easily. For example “freeze and clear” function
is useful to accumulate energy pulse increments.

92
Reactive energy is also accumulated on separate registers according to the quadrant of
power like the following [Figure 8-2]. So 24 energy counters are provided as in the [Figure
8-3].

8.5. DEMAND CURRENTS AND POWER

FTU supports block demand and rolling demand. If block and rolling interval are same,
FTU calculates demand values based on block interval. It is block demand mode. For rolling
demand, rolling interval will be subinterval within block interval. So FTU calculates
demand values based on N rolling intervals every rolling interval. Here N is the value
corresponding to block interval divided by rolling interval. Types of demand values are
phase currents and active, reactive powers.

- Block interval 15/30/60 minutes

- Rolling interval 1/5/15/30/60 minutes

For example, suppose that block interval is 15min. and rolling interval is 5min. In this
case, rolling demand values are calculated every 5min based on the data during most recent
15min.

The demand values are recorded up to 6143 intervals. The length corresponds to 63 days
based on 15 min. demand. Also peak demand values are recorded daily up to 1023 days. And
weekly or monthly data are recorded through automatic demand reset according to settings
up to 63 amounts. Manual reset also is available. Weekly/monthly data contains the
following information. All energy and power data are saved with each phase and 3-phase
total data.

8.6. INTERRUPTER DUTY MONITOR

FTU shows the estimated life of the interrupter contact through calculation using trip
current. The function gives the remaining counts for interrupter to trip at 1 kA. And
FTUMan shows the curve of the interrupter duty. The allowable trip counts at 1kA will be
decreased by (I_trip(kA))2

Figure 8-5 interrupter duty monitor

* This function is available in FTUMan only with FTU of the firmware V3.04

96
8.7. FAULT LOCATION

FTU gives a fault distance from Recloser in km and fault resistance analyzing unbalanced
network mathematically during fault. The result will be valid when the fault direction is
consistent with the line configuration for this function.

The fault location algorithm needs line impedance data for each section and length of the
branch and load ratio of each line section. The internal fault detector determines fault type
as one of line-to-ground faults and line-to-line faults. And then the algorithm will be
executed with the corresponding voltage and current depending on the fault type. The
algorithm uses pre-fault and fault voltage, current to eliminate the influence of load current.

The following example shows the configuration for five branches from L1 to L5.

L1 L3 L5

Recloser

97
Positive and zero sequence line impedance per kilometer shall be inputted for each type
of lines.

And the length of line section with line type, upstream line section index and load ratio of
each line section are required for fault location. Load ratio has only to be rough and relative
value for each section.

FTU will give the fault location with fault type, section and fault resistance. In some case
FTU may give two locations when the distance to fault from FTU reaches two sections. The
location may be incorrect or not logged in case fault resistance is so high, or actual fault
location is so near from Recloser or near the end of line. So the fault location log shall be
just referenced to find the fault location with fault event log.
