3.2 Transformer Current Differential Protection

3.2.1 Preparation Knowledge

By applying the Ampere-turn balance on different transformer connections, this relay forms the
current differential equations.

During the normal operation, the magnitude and angel of secondary currents at each side of
transformer are different due to different CT ratios and different CT connection modes. This kind of
current differentiations shall be eliminated under normal operation and compensated in fact by a
built-in compensation method.

3.2.1.1 Calculate the Correction Coefficient of Each Side

Correction coefficient is calculated in program on base of transformer capacity, rated voltage of


each side, CT ratio of each side and connection group of transformer.

For “Y” side of transformer (here HV side is taken as example):

U 1 n  CT 11
K ph 1 
Sn

14 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

For “Δ” side of transformer (here LV side is taken as example):

3  U 2 n  CT 21
K ph 2 
Sn

Where:

U1 n is [U1n_H], rated phase-to-phase voltage of HV side of the transformer

U2 n is [U1n_L], rated phase-to-phase voltage of LV side of the transformer

CT 11 is [I1n_CT _H], primary rated current of the CT at HV side.

CT 21 is [I1n_CT _L], primary rated current of the CT at LV side.

Sn is the maximum rated capacity of the transformer.

NOTE: The maximum correction coefficient is 8 for “Y” side, and 8 for “Δ” side. If the

correction coefficient is more than 8, an alarm report [Alm_RatioCorr_CT] will be issued


on the LCD, and this relay will be blocked.

3.2.1.2 Calculate Rated Secondary Current of Each Side

For “Y” side of transformer (here HV side is taken as example):

U 1 n  CT 11

For “Δ” side of transformer (here LV side is taken as example):

Where:

Ie1 is rated secondary current of HV side of the transformer;

Ie2 is rated secondary current of LV side of the transformer;

Sn is the maximum rated capacity of the transformer;

U1 n is [U1n_H], rated phase-to-phase voltage of HV side of the transformer;

I a , I b , I c are actual values of secondary currents of CT of HV side;

I e 1 is base value or called rated secondary value of HV side as mentioned above.

Here currents used in differential protection analysis have been corrected, that means the
currents are the products of the actual secondary current of each side being divided by rated
secondary current of each side.

3.2.1.3 Phase Shift Compensation

By defining which particular connection group the protected transformer belongs to, the proper
calculation routine will be applied.

The following transforming method is based on the assumptions listed as below:

 CTs at each side of the transformer are connected in star type.

 Secondary currents of each CT are connected to the equipment directly.

 The positive polarity of CT at each side is at busbar side.

 Polarity of each secondary winding of CT is as same as shown in Figure 9.8-1.

 All currents used are based on per unit value.

The secondary current phase shift compensation for all CTs are achieved by software, “Y→Δ”
transform method is used for this purpose. For “Y/Δ-11” connection, the correction equations are
as follows:

For “Y” side:

 '  

For other connection type,the current can be calculated referring to the equations listed above.
The connection type can be selected by the setting [Opt_ConnGrp].

NOTE: If your actual transformer connection type is not included in setting list, please let

us know before you make the order.

3.2.2 Percentage Differential Protection

Following analysis is based on the assumption that amplitude and phase shift compensation have
been done.

The percentage differential protection is used to distinguish that the differential current is caused
by unbalanced output or fault (internal fault and special extern al fault).

The operation criteria of this percentage differential protection are:

Id  I cdqd ( I r  0 .5 I e )

I  K b 1 ( I r  0 . 5 I e )  I cdqd ( 0 .5 I e  I r  3 I e )

  

Id  I1 I 2

Where:

Ie is the rated current of the transformer.


Icdqd is the pickup setting of the percentage differential protection, which is also the threshed
setting of the percentage differential protection [I_PcntDiff];

Icdqd is the pickup setting of the instantaneous differential protection, which is also the
threshed setting of the instantaneous differential protection [I_InstDiff];

3.2.3 Unrestrained Instantaneous Differential Protection

The aim of unrestrained instantaneous differential protection for transformer is to accelerate the
trip speed for transformer’s inner fault. So the protection doesn’t need any block element, but the
setting should be greater than maximum inrush current.

The operation of unrestrained differential element in this relay shall trip all breakers at all sides of
transformer when any phase differential current is greater than its setting. Its operation criterion is:

| I d  max |  [ I _ InstDiff ]

Where:

Id Φmax is the maximum value of the three phase differential currents;

[I_InstDiff] is the setting of the unrestrained instantaneous differential protection.

3.2.4 Inrush Current Detection Element


In the relay, the second harmonic of differential current can be used to distinguish inrush current.
The operation criterion is:

I d 2  max  K 2 xb  I d  max

18 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

Where:

Id2 Φmax is the maximum second harmonic of the three phase differential currents.

Id Φmax is the fundamental component of corresponding differential current.

K2xb is the setting of restraint coefficient of second harmonic [k_2rdH_PcntDiff].

3.2.5 Instantaneous CT Failure Detection and Blocking Scheme


The instantaneous CT failure detection is realized during fault calculation program. When anyone
of the three following criteria is satisfied, this function is not in service at the corresponding side.

(1) The maximum phase current is less than 0.2×Ie before the differential fault detector picks up.

(2) The maximum phase current is more than 1.2×Ie after the differential fault detector picks up.

(3) The current after pickup is more than the current before pickup.

NOTE: The instantaneous CT failure detection only will be in service, after the

percentage differential protection is put into operation and picks up.

If the current of any side of the transformer satisfies with the two following criteria at the same time,
when the percentage differential protection picks up, this relay will issue an alarm [Alm_CTS].

(1) Only one phase current is less than 0.06×Ie.

(2) Other two phases currents equal to the corresponding currents before pickup respectively.

A setting [Opt_CTS_Diff] is used to decide to block the percentage differential protection. If it is set
as “1”, the percentage differential protection will be block when the instantaneous CT failure is
detected.

The CT failure supervision with time delay is described in Section 4.2.8, and the percentage
differential protection will not be blocked in this situation.

3.3 Zero Sequence Differential Protection

A zero sequence differential protection (restricted earth fault protection) is equipped for LV side of
the transformer. It is suggested that the zero sequence differential protection should be enabled
after passing through short-circuit test or external-fault test.

The zero sequence currents for the zero sequence differential protection is composed of the
calculated zero sequence current and the zero sequence current derived from zero sequence CT
at neutral point. The CT polarity is at busbar side and the zero sequence CT is at transformer side.

3.3.1 Zero Sequence Percentage Differential Protection

The operation criteria of the zero sequence percentage differential protection are as follows:

3.3.2 Difference of CT Transient Characteristics and Its Effect

Difference of transient characteristic and saturation of various CT will result in erroneous zero
sequence current in differential scheme during external three-phase short circuit fault. In order to
eliminate its effect, positive sequence current restraint blocking criterion and CT saturation
criterion are used. Positive sequence current restraint principle can be expressed as following:

I 0   0  I1

Where:

I0 is the zero sequence current at relevant side;

I1 is the corresponding positive sequence current at the same side;

β0 is a proportional coefficient.

3.3.3 Zero Sequence Differential CT Abnormality

If the zero sequence differential current of the equipped side is more than its alarm setting
[I_Alm_REF_L] and lasts longer than 10s, the alarm signal [Alm_REF] of zero sequence
differential CT circuit abnormality will be issued without the relevant protection being blocked.

3.4 Overcurrent Protection

3.4.1 Three-stage Overcurrent Protection

The overcurrent protection of HV side in this relay provides three-stage non-directional


three-phase overcurrent protection with independent definite time delay characteristics. Each
stage can be enabled/disabled by scheme logic settings independently. All overcurrent elements

22 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

and voltage control elements apply to all three phases but are independent for each of the three
stages. Configuring the relevant settings can enable or disable the corresponding protection.

The stage 1 and stage 2 of overcurrent protection have the same protective functional logic. Two
voltage control elements can be applied with the stage 1 and stage 2 of overcurrent element
respectively to be voltage controlled overcurrent protections.

When the stage 3 of overcurrent protection is used as regular definite time overcurrent protection,
it has the same protective functional logic with other stages of overcurrent protection , but it hasn’t
a voltage control element; when it is used as inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) overcurrent
protection, it has a different protective functional logic with other stages of overcurrent protection.

The functional logic diagram for the stage 1 overcurrent protection is shown as bellow. The
overcurrent block is a level detector that detects that the current magnitude is above the threshold.

[En_VCE_OC1_H] is the logic setting of the voltage control element for OC1 at HV side;

Flg_VCE_x (x: A, B, C) denotes the state of the voltage control element.

The stage 2 overcurrent protection has the same logic diagrams with the stage 1 overcurrent
protection, but the operation threshold is [I_OC2_H]. The stage 3 overcurrent protection is used as
definite time overcurrent protection without voltage control element, and the operation threshold is
[I_OC3_H].

3.4.2 Voltage Control Element for Overcurrent Protection


If the current detected by a local relay for a remote fault condition is below its overcurrent setting, a
voltage controlled overcurrent (VCO) element may be used to increase the relay sensitivity to such
faults. In this case, a reduction in system voltage will occur; this may then be used to reduce the

NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 23


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

pick up level of the overcurrent protection. The VCO function can be selectively enabled on the
first two stages of the main overcurrent element, which was described in Section 3.4.1
“Three-stage Overcurrent Protection”. When VCO is enabled, the overcurrent setting can be
modified just to be in excess of the maximum value of load current.

Element Voltage for controlling


Ia> Uab< or Uca< or U2>
Ib> Ubc< or Uab< or U2>
Ic> Uca< or Ubc< or U2>

Note that voltage dependent overcurrent relays are more often applied in practical protection
applications in order to give adequate overcurrent relay sensitivity for close up fault conditions.
The fault characteristic of this protection must then coordinate with any of the downstream
overcurrent relays that are responsive to the current decrement condition. It therefore follows that
if this relay is to be applied in a generator station, the use of voltage controlled overcurrent
protection in this relay may allow better coordination with the VCO relay on the generator.

For the operation accuracy of the VCO protection, it is necessary to take the status of the voltage
transformer into account. If the voltage transformer has an error in it, the numerical relay will issue
an [Alm_VTS] signal and de-energize all the elements that relate to the voltage measurement.

The functional logic diagram for the voltage controlled overcurrent protection is shown in Figure
3.4-1. The detailed functional logic diagram for the voltage control element of phase A is shown as
bellow. The logic diagrams for voltage control element of other two phases can be gotten on the
analogy of this.

3.4.3 Inverse Definite Minimum Time Overcurrent Protection

The stage 3 overcurrent protection of HV side also can be used as inverse definite minimum time

24 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

(IDMT) overcurrent protection.

Various methods are available to achieve correct relay coordination on a system; by means of time
alone, current alone or a combination of both time and current. Grading by means of current is
only possible where there is an appreciable difference in fault level between the two relay
locations. Grading by time is used by some utilities but can often lead to excessive fault clearance
times at or near source substations where the fault level is highest. For these reasons the most
commonly applied characteristic in coordinating overcurrent relays is the IDMT type.

The inverse time delayed characteristics comply with the following formula (based on IEC60255 -4
standard).


t  
TP
(I / I p )  1

Where:

β = Constant

α = Constant

t = Operation time

I = Measured current

Ip is the current threshold setting; the current setting of the stage 3 overcurrent of HV side
(I_OC3_H) is used as the Ip in this relay. If the stage 3 overcurrent protection of HV side is
used as IDMT overcurrent protection, the range of the setting [I_OC3_H] is 0.1×In to 4×In.

T p is the time multiplier setting; the time delay setting of the stage 3 overcurrent of HV side
(t_OC3_H) is used as T p in this relay. If the stage 3 overcurrent protection is used as IDMT
overcurrent protection, the range of the setting [t_OC3_H] is 0.05s to 3.20s.

Three types of IDMT characteristic curves are applied in this relay. The setting [Opt_InvOC_H] can
be used to select the expected curve (see Section 7.3 “Protection Settings”).

Opt_InvOC_H Curve Name β α


1 Standard Inverse 0.14 0.02
2 Very Inverse 13.5 1
3 Extremely Inverse 80 2

If the IDMT overcurrent protection of HV side is expected, the settings [En_InvOC_H] and
[En_OC3_H] must be set as “1”, and this protection will be enabled.

The logic diagram for the IDMT overcurrent protection of HV side is shown as bellow. The
overcurrent block is a level detector that detects that the current magnitude is above the threshold.

time delay characteristics for the HV side. Each stage can be enabled/disabled by scheme logic
settings independently.

3.6 Thermal Overload Protection

The relay incorporates a current based thermal replica, using lo ad current to model heating and
cooling of the protected plant. The element only can be set to issue alarm signal.

The heat generated within an item of plant, such as a cable or a transformer, is the resistive loss
2
(Ι R x t). Thus, heating is directly proportional to current squared. The thermal time characteristic
used in the relay is therefore based on current squared, integrated over time. The relay
automatically uses the largest phase current for input to the thermal model.

Equipment is designed to operate continuously at a temperature corresponding to its full load


rating, where heat generated is balanced with heat dissipated by radiation etc. Over-temperature
conditions therefore occur when currents in excess of rating are allowed to flow for a period of
time.

The functional logic diagram for the thermal overload protection is shown as bellow. The overload
block is a level detector that detects that the current magnitude is above the threshold.

3.7 Earth Fault Protection for HV Side

The relay provides two-stage zero sequence overcurrent protection for the earth fault of the HV
side of the transformer. It also provides one stage zero sequence IDMT overcurrent protection for
the earth fault of the HV side of the transformer.

3.7.1 Two-stage Zero Sequence Overcurrent Protection


One input current transformer is dedicated to the earth fault protection of HV side. The input CT is
designed specially to operate at low current magnitudes.

When the equipment is used in non-effective grounding or small current grounding system, the
grounding zero sequence current during ground fault is basically small capacitive current. Correct
selection of faulty phase in zero sequence protection could not be ensured by detection of such
current. Since all protection equipment are connected with each other via network and information
resource could be shared in RCS-9000 substation automation system, so the faulty equipment

NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 27


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

could be decided firstly by related information from various equipments on same bus and then
decided finally by trial tripping of the breaker of equipment having been selected. Zero sequence
current has to be led from a zero sequence current transformer in this case.

When the equipment is used in small resistance grounding system, the grounding zero sequence
current during ground fault is larger and could be used for tripping directly. Two stages are
equipped for the zero sequence current protection. The zero sequence current for tripping in this
case could be that led from a zero sequence current transformer.

All the two stages of the zero sequence overcurrent protection have definite time characteristics.
The following figure shows the operating process of definite time overcurrent characteristics of the
two stages.

If the setting [En_ROC2_H] is set as “0”, the stage 2 zero sequence overcurrent protection also
can only issue an alarm signal [Alm_ROC_H], but not issue a tripping signal.

3.7.2 Zero Sequence IDMT Overcurrent Protection


One stage independent zero sequence IDMT overcurrent protection is provided in this relay for the
earth fault of the HV side of the transformer.

The inverse time delayed characteristic of this protection is same as the IDMT overcurrent
protection (see Section 3.4.3 “Inverse Definite Minimum Time Overcurrent Protection”).

The functional logic diagram for the zero sequence IDMT overcurrent protection of HV side is
shown as bellow. The overcurrent block is a level detector that detects that the current magnitude
is above the threshold.

3.8 Earth Fault Protection for LV Side

The relay provides two-stage zero sequence overcurrent protection for the earth fault of the LV
side of the transformer. The stage 2 zero sequence overcurrent protection can be set with IDMT
characteristic.

3.8.1 Two-stage Zero Sequence Overcurrent Protection


One input current transformer is dedicated to the earth fault protection of LV side. The input CT is
designed specially to operate at low current magnitudes.

The function of this protection is just like the zero sequence overcurrent protection for the HV side,

two stages.

The stage 2 zero sequence overcurrent protection can be set with IDMT characteristic, when the
setting [En_InvROC_L] is set as “1”.

The inverse time delayed characteristic of this protection is same as the IDMT overcurrent
protection (see Section 3.4.3 “Inverse Definite Minimum Time Overcurrent Protection”).

shown as bellow. The overcurrent block is a level detector that detects that the current magnitude

3.9 Overcurrent Blocking Protection

If the circuit breaker don’t have enough capacity to close or trip, or a fuse circuit is equipped as the
overcurrent protection, the overcurrent blocking protection can be put into service.

If the fault current is above the threshold of this element, the tripping output function of this relay
will be blocked at once, and a signal [Op_OC_Blk_Prot] will be issued at the same time. If the fault
current is under the threshold for more than 100ms, the overcurrent blocking protection will reset
and the tripping output function of this relay will be in service again.

3.10 Mechanical Protection

This relay provides three special binary inputs for mechanical (non-electricity) protection. If the
relay detects one of the energized inputs for a defined time delay, the relay will issue a tri pping
signal or an alarm signal, which is decided by the relevant setting.

Two of the mechanical protections can issue a tripping signal or an alarm signal, and another one

30 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.


Chapter 3 Operation Theory

only can issue a tripping signal.

These special binary inputs and their functions are listed as below.

BI Name Relevant Function For tripping For alarming


BI_MR1 The No.1 mechanical protection YES NO
BI_MR2 The No.2 mechanical protection YES YES
BI_MR3 The No.3 mechanical protection YES YES

the mechanical protections will be in service.

Chapter 4 Supervi sion, Metering and Control

Chapter 4 Supervision, Metering and Control

4.1 Overview

Though the protection system is in non-operating state under normal conditions, it is waiting for a
power system fault to occur at any time and must operate for the fault without fail. When the
equipment is in energizing process before the LED “HEALTHY” is on, the equipment needs to be
checked to ensure there are no errors. Therefore, the automatic supervision function, which
checks the health of the protection system when startup and during normal operation, plays an
important role.

The numerical relay based on the microprocessor operations is suitable for implemen ting this
automatic supervision function of the protection system.

In case a fatal fault is detected during automatic supervision, the equipment will be blocked out. It
means that relay is out of service. Therefore you must re-energize the relay or even replace a
module to make relay back into service.

The relay also provides some auxiliary functions, such as disturbance data record, on -line data
metering, real-time power calculation etc. All these make the relay meet the demands of the
modern power grid requirements.

4.2 Relay Self-supervision

4.2.1 Relay Hardware Supervision

The DSP, RAM, ROM chips on the CPU module are monitored to ensure whether they are
damaged or have some errors. If any one of them is detected damaged or having error, the
equipment will be blocked and issues alarm signal [Alm_Fail]. The LED indicator “HEALTHY” will
be extinguished.

4.2.2 DC Supply Supervision

The secondary voltage level of the built-in DC/DC converter is monitored and checked whether the
DC voltage is within a prescribed range.

If a failure is detected in the DC power supply circuit, the alarm signal [Alm_Pwr_DC] will be
issued and the relay will be blocked. The LED indicator “HEALTHY” will be extinguished.

4.2.3 Output Tripping Circuit Supervision


Chips controlling the output relays in the output circuit are continually monitored. If any error or
damage is detected in these chips, the alarm signal [Alm_TrpOut] will be issued and the relay will
be blocked. The LED indicator “HEALTHY” will be extinguished.

NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 33


Chapter 4 Supervi sion, Metering and Control

4.2.4 Setting Supervision

This relay has several setting groups, while only one is active at the same time. The settings of
active setting group are checked to ensure they are reasonable. If the settings are checked to be
invalid, the alarm signal [Alm_Setting] will be issued and this equipment will be blocked at the
same time. The LED indicator “HEALTHY” will be extinguished.

4.2.5 Control Circuit Supervision

If the relay detects that the 52b (TWJ) contact position and the 52a (HWJ) contact position are off
at the same time for more than 3 seconds, the alarm signal [Alm_TCCS] will be issued and the
LED indicator “ALARM ” will be lit.

4.2.6 TWJ (52b) Contact Supervision


If the relay detects that the TWJ (52b) contact position is on, i.e., the value of [BI_52b] is “1” in the
submenu “BI STATE”, meanwhile any phase current is more than 0.06In, and this condition lasts
more than 10 seconds, the alarm signal [Alm_52b] will be issued and the LED indicator “ALARM ”
will be lit.

4.2.7 VT Circuit Supervision


The voltage transformer supervision (VTS) feature is used to detect failure of the AC voltage
inputs to the relay.

The VTS logic in the relay is designed to detect the voltage failure and automatically adjust the
configuration of protective elements whose stability would otherwise be compromised. A
time-delay alarm output is also available.

The VTS feature within the relay operates on detection of

(1) Negative phase sequence (NPS) voltage is in excess of 8V or

(2) Positive phase sequence (PPS) voltage is less than 30V with the presence of current of any
phase (I.e., any of the phase current is in excess of 0.06In).

This gives operation for the loss of voltages. Stability of the VTS function is assured during system
fault conditions, by the presence of any pickup element.

Repeated here, the criteria of VTS Element:

(1) U1<30V and any of phase current is greater than 0.06In

(2) U2>8V

That any of these two conditions is satisfied means the VT is in abnormal status. Then VT alarm is
issued 10s later. When the VT status returns to normal condition, the alarm will be restored
automatically 1.25s later.

In case VT circuit is failure, protection elements dependent on voltage will be blocked.

4.2.8 CT Failure Supervision

The main purpose of the current transformer (CT) circuit failure supervision function is to detect
faults in the secondary circuits of CT and avoid influence on the operation of corresponding
protection functions. This CT failure supervision function will be processed all the time if the
differential protection is in service, whether general fault detection picks up or not.

The criteria of CTS element are:

(1) Anyone of the phase differential current is more than the CT alarm setting [ I_Alm_Diff];

(2) The negative differential current is greater than the threshold:

dI 2      dI max

Where:

dI2 is the negative differential current;

α is a fixed threshold;

β is a reliable coefficient;

dImax is maximum phase differential current.

In normal operation program of the equipment, if a CT failure is detected, the alarm signal
[Alm_SensCTS] will be issued and the LED indicator “ALARM ” will be lit.

In case the CT circuit is failure, relevant protection elements will not be blocked.

The logic diagram of the CTS element is shown as below.

4.3 Metering

The relay produces a variety of both directly and calculated power system quantities. These

NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 35


Chapter 4 Supervi sion, Metering and Control

measurement values are updated on a per second basis and can be viewed in the submenu
“METERING” (in menu “VALUES”) of the relay or via relay communication.

This relay is able to measure and display the following quantities as summarized:

 phase current

 phase to phase voltage

 zero sequence current

 active and reactive power, power factor

The measurands include Iam, Icm, I0, Uab, Ubc, Uca, P, Q and COSφ etc. These measurands are
got by real-time calculation and real-time summation locally. Active and reactive power calculation
eliminates error due to unbalance of the system voltage. This calculation is independent with
network.

All these measurands also can transmit to the SAS or RTU through communication. More
information about the communication and protocols, see Chapter 8 “Communication”.

4.4 Remote Control

The relay can receive the remote control commands to trip or close the circuit breaker. Only one
group telecontrol output relay is provided in this relay.

Before executing a telecontrol command, it is necessary to put the telecontrol handle at the
“Remote” position and make the value of [EBI_TeleCtrl] as “1” in the submenu “BI STATE”.

The remote control commands include remote tripping command, remote closing command etc.
More information about the communication and protocols, see Chapter 8 “Communication”.

It is recommended that separate relay output contacts are allocated for remote circuit breaker
control and protection tripping. This enables the control outputs to be selected via a local/remote
selector switch. Where this feature is not required the same output contact(s) can be used for both
protection and remote tripping.

4.5 Signaling

4.5.1 General Purpose Binary Input


General purpose binary inputs are used to monitor the positions of up to 10 contacts. They have a
common negative pole input. See Chapter 5 “Hardware Description” for the details about these
binary inputs.

The signal state change confirmation time of the BI_1 and BI_2 can be set through the setting
[t_Debounce1_BI] and the default value is 20ms. Other inputs (BI_3 ~ BI_20) have the same
confirmation time, it can be set through the setting [t_Debounce2_BI] and the default value is
20ms.

In various applications, the AI module and PWR module are always applied as basic modules of
this device. The SWI module and AO module are optional according to practical engineering. In
Section 5.9 “Module Configuration Scheme”, the more information about the optional modules is
described detailedly.

5.3 AI Module

The AI module is an analog input unit. It contains three voltage transformers and seven current
transformers. It can transform these high AC input values to relevant low AC output value, which
are suited to the analog inputs of the CPU module. It also can be thought as a bridge between the
CPU module and the external analog signals that come into the relay. The transformers are used
both to step-down the currents and voltages to levels appropriate to the relay’s electronic circuitry
and to provide effective isolation between the relay and the power system. A low pass filter circuit
is connected to each transformer (CT and VT) secondary circuit for reducing the noise of each
analog AC input signal.

NOTE: The rated value of the input current transformer is optional: 1A or 5A. The rated

value of the CT must be definitely declared in the technical scheme and the contract.

NOTE: Because the rated value of the input current transformer is optional, it is

necessary to check that whether the rated values of the current transformer inputs are
accordant to the demand of the practical engineering before putting the device into
operation.

Chapter 5 Hardware Description

DANGER: Never allow the current transformer (CT) secondary circuit connected to this

equipment to be opened while the primary system is live. Opening the CT circuit will
produce a dangerously high voltage. If this safety precaution is disregarded, personal
death, severe personal injury or considerable equipment damage will occur.

5.4 CPU Module

The CPU module is the kernel part of this equipment, and contain s a powerful microchip processor
and some necessary electronic elements. This powerful processor performs all of the functions for
the relay: the protection functions, the communication management functions. There are several
A/D conversion circuits on this module, which are used to convert the AC analog signals to
corresponding DC signals for fulfilling the demand of the electrical level standard. A high-accuracy
clock chip is contained in this module, it provide accurate current time for th is device.

The functional details of the CPU module are listed as below:

 Protection calculations

The CPU module can calculate protective elements (such as overcurrent element, zero
sequence overcurrent etc.) based on the analog inputs form the AI module and binary inputs
from the PWR module, and then decides that whether the device need to trip.

 Communication management

The CPU module can effectively manage the communication procedure, and reliably send out
some useful information through its various communication interfa ces. Two serial interfaces
for SAS or RTU, two Ethernet interfaces for SAS or RTU and one serial interface for the
printer are contained in this module. A 20-pin interface for the connection with the HMI module
is contained in this module too. If an event is occurred (such as SOE, protective tripping event
etc.), this module will send out the relevant event information through these interfaces, and
make it be easily observed by the user.

 Auxiliary calculations

Basing on the analog inputs, the CPU module also can calculate out the measurement values,
such as active power, reactive power and power factor etc. All these values can be sent to a
SAS or a RTU through the communication interfaces.

 Clock Synchronization

This module has a local clock chip and an interface to receive clock synchronized signals
from external clock source. These signals include PPS (pulse per second) signal and IRIG -B
signal. Basing on the timing message (from SAS or RTU) and the PPS signal, or basing on
the IRIG-B signal, this module can make the local clock synchronize with the standard clock.

There are some jumpers on this module for various purposes. The jumpers JP1 (“ARM-JTAG”) is
used to connect with an ARM simulator, and the jumper J6 (“DSP-JTAG”) is used to connect with a
DSP simulator. The jumper J5 (“CPLD”) is used to program the CPLD chip on this module. The

NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 43


Chapter 5 Hardware Description

jumper JP8 (“CONSOLE”) is used to debug the ARM program of this module.

All above jumpers are reserved for the manufacturer to develop and debug the relevant programs
of this module; the user needn’t use anyone of them.

NOTE: In a regular application, anyone of the above jumpers must be kept the state that

has been set by the manufacturer. Any change of the configuration of the above jumpers
is not permitted.

The jumper JP2 and JP3 are used to download the relevant programs of the CPU module. If the
jumper JP2 is connected, writing the DSP program to the corresponding flash memory is permitted.
If the jumper JP3 is connected, downloading the ARM program to the CPU module is permitted.

NOTE: In a regular application, the jumper JP2 and JP3 are unconnected. The two

jumpers are only reserved for the manufacturer to refresh the programs of the CPU
module.

5.5 HMI Module

The HMI module is installed on the front panel of this device. It is used to observe the running
status and event information on the LCD, and configure the protection settings and device
operation mode. It can help the user to know the status of this device and detailed event
information easily, and provide convenient and friendly access interface for the user. For further
details, see Chapter 6 “HMI Operation Introduction”.

5.6 PWR Module

The power supply module is a DC/DC converter with electrical insulation between input and output,
and an output power of 30W. The power supply module has an input voltage range as described in
Chapter 2 “Technical Data”. The standardized output voltages are +3.3V, +5V, ±12V and +24V DC.
The tolerances of the output voltages are continuously monitored.

The +3.3V DC output provides power supply for the microchip processors, and the +5V DC output
provides power supply for all the electrical elements that need +5V DC power supply in the relay.
The ±12V DC output provides power supply for A/D conversion circuits in this device, and the
+24V DC output provides power supply for the static relays on the operation circuits (SWI module
and AO module).

The input of the power supply module is protected by a 3.15A /250V slow fuse. The current surge
when energizing the power supply module is limited to 3.15A. The use of an external miniature
circuit breaker is recommended. The circuit breaker must be in the on position when the device is
in operation and in the off position when the device is in cold reserve.

Ten regular optical insulation binary inputs and eight special optical insulation binary inputs are
contained in this module. The regular optical insulation binary inputs are used to moni tor the

Chapter 5 Hardware Description

position of the regular binary signals; the special optical insulation binary inputs are used to
monitor the position of the special binary signals, which must be taken into account in the
protection calculations and communication management of the CPU module.

A built-in extension interfaces module of the CPU module is equipped on the PWR module. Three
EIA RS-485 standardized ports and up to three Ethernet ports are contained in the built-in module.

The front view of the PWR module is shown in Figure 5.6-1.

NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 47


Chapter 5 Hardware Description

The relays HWJ is applied to supervise the open state of circuit breaker when terminal 417 is
connected to the negative pole of power supply in series with normal open auxiliary contact of
circuit breaker (52a).

In addition, if terminal 417 is connected with terminal 416, i.e. connected with normal open
auxiliary contact of circuit breaker (52a) and its trip coil (TC), the relay HWJ can provide
supervision on health of trip coil (TC) as well.

A normal closed contact of HWJ serials with a normal closed contact of TWJ can initiate a
control circuit failure annunciation by the terminal 421 and 426.

The LED indicator “CB CLOSE” in red lighting shows the open state of the circuit breaker.

 Closing Circuit

Manual closing signal arrives at terminal 410. Terminal 418 shall be connected to close coil
(CC) in series with normal open auxiliary contact of circuit breaker (52 b).

HBJ is a seal-in auxiliary relay, whose pickup current is adaptive to the closing current in the
range of 0.5A-4.0A.

Even if closing signal disappears, the normal open contact of relay HBJ will keep closing to
maintain closing circuits working until circuit breaker is closed successfully and the auxiliary
contact of circuit breaker (52b) is open. TBJV is the anti-pump relay; the details of the TBJV
relay are described in following section.

 Trip Circuit

Protection trip signal arrives at terminal 414, and manual trip signal arrives at terminal 411.
Terminal 416 shall be connected to trip coil (TC) in series with normal open auxiliary contact of
circuit breaker (52a). Terminal 414 shall be connected with terminal 409 by an isolator link.

TBJ is a seal-in auxiliary relay, whose pickup current is adaptive to the trip current in the range
of 0.5A-4.0A.

Even if tripping signal disappears, the normal open contact of relay TBJ will keep closing to
maintain trip circuits working until circuit breaker is tripped successfully and normal open
auxiliary contact of circuit breaker (52a) is open. TBJ is also used in anti-pump circuit; the
details of the TBJ relay are described in following section.

 KKJ

KKJ is a bi-stable auxiliary relay. When circuit breaker is closed manually, the relay KKJ will
pick up and latch, when circuit breaker is tripped manually, the relay KKJ will reset. The
normal open contact of KKJ can be used together with normal closed auxiliary contact of
circuit breaker (52b), to initiate auto-recloser in case that circuit breaker trips especially
without any trip commands from protection and manual switch. A normal open contact is
provided to denote the position of the KKJ relay via terminals 406 and 407.

 Anti-pump

Anti-pump function is achieved via auxiliary relay TBJV.

48 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.


Chapter 5 Hardware Description

In the event that a breaker is closed onto a fault, while the operator is applying a close signal
via a closed control switch, the circuit breaker will trip and prevent further closing again until
the closing circuit has been de-energized by the operator releasing the control switch.

When trip signal comes and at the same time close signal persists, the normal open contact of
TBJ will close and TBJV will operate and keep sealed with its’ own normal open contact. The
normal closed contact of TBJV will cut off closing circuit to prevent any further closing.

schemes are not permitted, otherwise it make the reserved tripping output relay work
abnormally.

NOTE: The manufacture configures the first reserved output contact (427~428) as

tripping output for LV side, so the jumper T4 connects pin-1 with pin-2; and configures the
second output contact (429~430) as overload signal output, so the jumper T5 connects
pin-2 with pin-3.

Chapter 5 Hardware Description

5.8 AO Module

The AO module consists of some necessary contact outputs, such as trip-outputs, signal outputs
etc. It can receive tripping commands or closing commands from the CPU module, and then act
according to these commands. This module also can provide two DC 4~20mA analog outputs for
measuring.

A triggering relay (controlled by the fault detector) controls all other protection tripping r elays in this
module. Other protection tripping relays will not be de-energized until the triggering relay is
energized.

There are two kinds of AO modules for different engineering application.

The front view of the AO module is shown in Figure 5.8-1.

NOTE: The two DC analog outputs can send out 4~20mA current signals respectively. In

this relay, the first output sends out the “IA” measured value, and the second output
sends out the “P” measured value.

5.9 Module Configuration Scheme

The default hardware configuration of this relay includes a basic enclosure, an AI module, a CPU
module, a HMI module, a PWR module and a SWI module. The SWI module only provides a
tripping output, a closing output, a remote tripping output, a remote closing output for the circuit
breaker with a spring mechanism. In some special applications, the AO module can meet the
demands of the practical engineering. The AO module is always used for the circuit breaker with
an operation circuit in itself.

According the demands of the practical engineering, various operation mo dule configurations can
be selected. Three recommended schemes are used in practical engineering very usually.

The first recommended scheme is the default hardware configuration. The second recommended
scheme is using a SWI module and an AO module together. The third recommended scheme is
only using an AO module as the operation circuit of the device. Several parameters in the auxiliary
parameter submenu (item 2 to 5) are used to define the binary inputs (BI_1 to BI_4) as special
inputs. For more details about the relationship between the parameters and the corresponding
scheme, see Chapter 7 “Setting”.

Chapter 6 HMI Operation Introduction


Human machine interface (HMI) is an important component of the equipment. It is a co nvenient
facility to access the relay from the front local control panel of the device to view desired
information, such as measurement quantity or binary inputs’ state or program version, etc, or
modify some system settings or protection settings. This function is very helpful during
commissioning before putting the equipment into service.

Furthermore, all above functions can be realized in a remote terminal with special software
through a communication bus via a RS-485 port or Ethernet.

This chapter will describe human machine interface (HMI), menu tree and LCD display of the
equipment. In addition, how to input settings using keypad is described in detail.

6.1 Human Machine Interface Overview

6.1.1 Design

The human-machine interface consists of a human-machine interface (HMI) module which allows
a communication as simple as possible for the user. The HMI module includes:

 A 160×80-dot matrix backlight LCD visible in dim lighting conditions for monitoring status, fault
diagnostics and setting, etc.

 Five LED indicators on the front panel of the relay for denoting the status of this protection
operation.

 A 9-key keypad on the front panel of the device for full access to the device.

6.10 Understand the Alarms

Hardware circuit and operation condition of the equipment are self-supervised continuously. If any
abnormal condition is detected, information or report will be displayed and a corresponding alarm
will be issued.

A common abnormality may block a certain number of protection functions while other functions
can still work.

However, if serious hardware failure or abnormality were detected, all protection functions will be
blocked and the LED “HEALTHY” will be turned off.

When hardware failure is detected, all protection functions will be blocked and corresponding
alarm signal will be issued. The equipment then cannot work normally in this case and manual
maintenance is required to fix the failure.

NOTE: If the equipment is blocked or alarm signal is issued during operation, do please

find out its reason by help of ALARM REPORT. If the reason can not be found on site,
please inform the factory NR. Please do not simply press key “RESET” on the protection
panel to energize binary input [BI_RstTarg] or re-power on the equipment.

7.1 Overview

The settings are used to determine the characteristic of each protective element and operation
mode of the relay. It is necessary to configure the settings of this relay according to engineering
demands before putting this relay into service. If the settings aren’t configured correctly, the relay
maybe work abnormally (such as communication interrupted, printing out unexpected codes etc.),
even sometimes much more serious accident will occur (such as unwanted operation, missing
operation).

The settings of this relay include system settings, protection settings, communication settings and
miscellaneous settings. The user can configure these settings or parameters manually (see
Section 6.8.2 “Change the Settings”). Remote modification is also supported (IEC60870-5-103
over EIA RS-485 or Ethernet interface, see Chapter 8 “Communication”).

NOTE: If a CPU module is replaced, it is necessary to configure all the settings again

according to the configuration of the CPU module which is replaced.

NOTE: If an AI module is replaced, it is necessary to configure the setting “MAN CALBR”

according to the parameter label pasted on the new AI module.

7.2 System Settings (SYS SETTINGS)

The configuration of system settings is mainly used to set the rated value of VT and CT.

The following table lists all the system parameters.

NOTE:

1. System settings is related to the protection activities, thus it is necessary to configure theses
settings according to actual conditions.

2. Of setting group (Active_Grp): There are up to 8 setting groups used for storing various
settings, and the range is from 0 to 7. Any of them can be set as operating group. There are
two ways to modify the setting group, one is entering the submenu “SYS SETTINGS” through
LCD at the local control panel, change the group number to the required one, press “ENT” to
save it and then press “RST” to restart the equipment and validate the new settings; the other
way is to modify the setting group on a remote control terminal via communication.

3. All the rated value of the CT and VT must be set according to practical engineering. The
parameters of the transformer must be set according to practical engineering too.

4. The settings [I_Transducer] and [P_Transducer] are related to the maximum value of the
4~20mA analog output, when the output value is 20mA.

5. The connection mode of the transformer is very important to this relay. This relay calculates
the phase differential currents on the base the transformer connection mode.

3. In general, for switch onto fault protection, it is necessary to set a time-delay from decades to
100ms. Thanks to there is no 100ms time-delay in the numerical protection equipment as
there in the traditional protection equipment in the past, thus it can’t avoid surge current when
CB is closing if the time is set as 0.00s.

4. The settings marked with “*” means that they have corresponding virtual enabling binary
inputs. Virtual enabling binary inputs can be modified on the remote terminal via
communication. On the local control panel, all virtual enabling binary inputs can be set as “1”

Under following conditions:

 expect this equipment to provide “fault alarm signal” (Alm_Fault), displaying on


LCD of local control panel, sending to SACAD via communication, which is
output by terminals 404~405

It is necessary to connect external KKJ to terminal 308.

It is necessary to connect external YK to terminal 309.

3. If both 52a (HWJ) and 52b (TWJ) can’t be obtained by the equipment (including internal and

issuing alarm [Alm_TCCS].

4. If the SWI module isn’t used, it is as well as necessary to take into account whether to import
CB position signal from external terminal.

7.6 VEBI Settings

Each virtual enabling binary input (VEBI) setting is one of the conditions that decide whether the
relevant protection is in service, when this relay is energized. Each virtual enabling binary input
is an “AND” condition of the relevant protective element. Through SAS or RT U, the virtual
enabling binary input can be set as “1” or “0”; and it means that the relevant protection can be in
service or out of service through remote command. It provides convenience for operation
management.

Chapter 8 Communication

8.1 General

This section outlines the remote data communication interfaces of the RCS-9622CN relay. The
relay only supports one protocol at present, and the protocol is IEC60870-5-103. Setting the
relevant communication parameter can select the IEC60870-5-103 protocol (see Section 7.4
“Communication Parameters”).

The two rear EIA RS-485 standardized interfaces are isolated, as well as the two Ethernet
interfaces, and are suitable for permanent connection whichever protocol is selected. The
advantage of this type of connection is that up to 32 relays can be “daisy chained” together using a
simple twisted pair electrical connection.

It should be noted that the descriptions contained within this section do not aim to fully detail the
protocol itself. The relevant documentation for the protocol should be referred to for this
information. This section serves to describe the specific implementation of the protocol in th e relay.

8.2 Rear Communication Port Information

8.2.1 RS-485 Interface

This relay provides one rear RS-485 communication ports, and this port has two terminals in the
12-terminal screw connector located on the back of the relay. This port has a common ground
terminal for the earth shield of the communication cable. See Section 5.6 “PWR Module” for
details of the connection terminals. The rear port provides RS-485 serial data communication and
is intended for use with a permanently wired connection to a remote control center.

The protocol provided by the relay is indicated in the relay’s submenu in the “EQUIP SETUP”
column. Using the keypad and LCD, configure the relevant communication protocol parameters,
the corresponding protocol and will be selected.

8.2.1.1 EIA RS-485 Standardized Bus

The EIA RS-485 two-wire connection provides a half-duplex fully isolated serial connection to the
product. The connection is polarized and whilst the product’s connection diagrams indicate the
polarization of the connection terminals it should be borne in mind that there is no agreed
definition of which terminal is which. If the master is unable to communicate with the product, and
the communication parameters match, then it is possible that the two-wire connection is reversed.

8.2.1.2 Bus Termination

The EIA RS-485 bus must have 120Ω (Ohm) ½ Watt terminating resistors fitted at either end
across the signal wires (see Figure 8.2-1). Some devices may be able to provide the bus
terminating resistors by different connection or configuration arrangements, in which case
separate external components will not be required. However, this product does not provide such a

8.2.1.3 Bus Connections & Topologies

The EIA RS-485 standard requires that each device is directly connected to the physical cable that
is the communications bus. Stubs and tees are expressly forbidde n, such as star topologies. Loop
bus topologies are not part of the EIA RS-485 standard and are forbidden by it also.

Two-core screened cable is recommended. The specification of the cable will be dependent on the
2
application, although a multi-strand 0.5mm per core is normally adequate. Total cable length must
not exceed 500m. The screen must be continuous and connected to ground at one end, normally
at the master connection point; it is important to avoid circulating currents, especially when the
cable runs between buildings, for both safety and noise reasons.

This product does not provide a signal ground connection. If a signal ground connection is present
in the bus cable then it must be ignored, although it must have continuity for the benefit of other
devices connected to the bus. At no stage must the signal ground be connected to the cables
screen or to the product’s chassis. This is for both safety and noise reasons.

8.2.1.4 Biasing

It may also be necessary to bias the signal wires to prevent jabber. Jabber o ccurs when the signal
level has an indeterminate state because the bus is not being actively driven. This can occur when
all the slaves are in receive mode and the master is slow to turn from receive mode to transmit
mode. This may be because the master purposefully waits in receive mode, or even in a high
impedance state, until it has something to transmit. Jabber causes the receiving device(s) to miss
the first bits of the first character in the packet, which results in the slave rejecting the message
and consequentially not responding. Symptoms of these are poor response times (due to retries),
increasing message error counters, erratic communications, and even a complete failure to
communicate.

Biasing requires that the signal lines be weakly pulled to a defined voltage level of about 1V. There
should only be one bias point on the bus, which is best situated at the master connection point.
The DC source used for the bias must be clean; otherwise noise will be injected. Note that some
devices may (optionally) be able to provide the bus bias, in which case external components will
not be required.

100 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.


Chapter 8 Communication

NOTE:

 It is extremely important that the 120Ω termination resistors are fitted. Failure to do so will
result in an excessive bias voltage that may damage the devices connected to the bus.

 As the field voltage is much higher than that required, the NR can not assume responsibility
for any damage that may occur to a device connected to the network as a result of incorrect
application of this voltage.

 Ensure that the field voltage is not being used for other purposes (i.e. powering logic inputs)
as this may cause noise to be passed to the communication network.

8.2.2 Ethernet Interface


This relay provides two rear Ethernet interfaces and they are unattached each other. Parameters
of each Ethernet port can be configured in the submenu “EQUIP SETUP” except for the protocol,
and protocol is a uniform parameter for the two Ethernet ports.

8.2.2.3 Connections and Topologies

Each device is connected to an exchanger via communication cable and thereby to form a star
structure network. Dual-network is recommended in order to increase reliability. SCADA is also
connected to the exchanger and will play a role of master station, so the every equipment which
has been connected to the exchanger will play a role of slave unit.

8.2.3 IEC60870-5-103 Communication

The IEC specification IEC60870-5-103: Telecontrol Equipment and Systems, Part 5: Transmission
Protocols Section 103 defines the use of standards IEC60870-5-1 to IEC60870-5-5 to perform
communication with protection equipment. The standard configuration for the IEC60870 -5-103
protocol is to use a twisted pair EIA RS-485 connection over distances up to 500m. It also supports
to use an Ethernet connection. The relay operates as a slave in the system, responding to
commands from a master station.

To use the rear port with IEC60870-5-103 communication, the relay’s relevant settings must be
configured. To do this use the keypad and LCD user interface. In the submenu “ EQUIP SETUP”,
set the parameter [COM1_Protocol] or [COM2_Protocol] as “1”, then set the baud rate of each
rear port. For using the Ethernet port with IEC60870-5-103 communication, set the parameter
[NET_Protocol] as “1”, and then the IP address and submask of each Ethernet port must be set.
See Section 7.4 for further details.

8.3 IEC60870-5-103 Interface

The IEC60870-5-103 interface is a master/slave interface with the relay as the slave device.

The relay conforms to compatibility level 2; compatibility level 3 is not supported.

The following IEC60870-5-103 facilities are supported by this interface:

102 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.

 Initialization (reset)

 Time synchronization

 Event record extraction

 General interrogation

 Cyclic measurements

 General commands

 Disturbance records

8.3.1 Physical Connection and Link Layer

Two EIA RS-485 standardized ports are available for IEC60870-5-103 in this relay. The
transmission speed is optional: 4800 bit/s, 9600 bit/s, 19200 bit/s or 38400 bit/s.

Two or three unattached Ethernet ports are available for IEC60870-5-103 in this relay. The
transmission speed is 100M/s.

The link layer strictly abides by the rules defined in the IEC60870-5-103.

8.3.2 Initialization
Whenever the relay has been powered up, or if the communication parameters have been
changed, a reset command is required to initialize the communications. The relay will respond to
either of the two reset commands (Reset CU or Reset FCB), the difference is that the Reset CU
will clear any unsent messages in the relay’s transmit buffer.

The relay will respond to the reset command with an identification message ASDU 5, the COT
(Cause Of Transmission) of this response will be either Reset CU or Reset FCB depending on the
nature of the reset command.

In addition to the above identification message, if the relay has been powered up it will also
produce a power up event.

8.3.3 Time Synchronization


The relay time and date can be set using the time synchronization feature of the IEC60870 -5-103
protocol. The relay will correct for the transmission delay as specified in IEC60870-5-103. If the
time synchronization message is sent as a send/confirm message then the relay will respond with
a confirmation. Whether the time-synchronization message is sent as a send confirmation or a
broadcast (send/no reply) message, a time synchronization Class 1 event will be
generated/produced.

If the relay clock is synchronized using the IRIG-B input then it will not be possible to set the relay
time using the IEC60870-5-103 interface. An attempt to set the time via the interface will cause the
relay to create an event with the current date and time taken from the IRIG -B synchronized internal
clock.

The GI can be used to read the status of the relay, the function numbers, and information numbers
that will be returned during the GI cycle. The GI cycle strictly abides by the rules defined in the
IEC60870-5-103.

The relay will respond to this GI command with an ASDU 44 message, the cause of transmission
(COT) of this response is 9.

Referring the IEC60870-5-103 standard can get the enough details about general interrogation.

8.3.6 Cyclic Measurements

The relay will produce measured values using ASDU 50 on a cyclical basis, this can be read from
the relay using a Class 2 poll (note ADSU 3 and ASDU 9 are not used).

The cause of transmission is 2. The rate at which the relay produces new measured values is fixed
(about one second). It should be noted that the measurands transmitted by the relay are sent as a
proportion of corresponding times the rated value of the analog value. The following table shows
all the measurands and the proportion relationship between the measurands and the rated value.

Here, the sign “In” denotes the rated current of the AC current input, and the sign “Un” denotes the
rated phase voltage of the AC voltage input.

8.3.7 General Commands

A list of the supported commands (in control direction) is contained in the fo llowing table. The relay
will not respond to other commands, and short-term communication interrupt will occur.

If the relay receives one of the command messages correctly, it will respond an ACK message ,
and then respond a message which has the same ASDU data with the control direction message
in next communication turn.

8.3.8 Generic Functions


The generic functions can be used to read the setting and protection measurement of the relay,
and modify the setting. Two supported type identifications are ASDU 21 and ASDU 10. For more

Chapter 9 Installation

Chapter 9 Installation

9.1 General

The equipment must be shipped, stored and installed with the greatest care.

Choose the place of installation such that the communication interface and the controls on the
front of the device are easily accessible.

Air must circulate freely around the equipment. Observe all the requirements regarding place of
installation and ambient conditions given in this instruction manual.

Take care that the external wiring is properly brought into the equipment and terminated correctly
and pay special attention to grounding. Strictly observe the corresponding guidelines contained in
this section.

9.2 Safety Instructions

Modules and units may only be replaced by correspondingly trained personnel. Always observe
the basic precautions to avoid damage due to electrostatic discharge when handling the
equipment.

In certain cases, the settings have to be configured according to the demands of the engineering
configuration after replacement. It is therefore assumed that the personnel who replace modules
and units are familiar with the use of the operator program on the service PC.

DANGER: Only insert or withdraw the PWR module while the power supply is switched

off. To this end, disconnect the power supply cable that connects with the PWR module.

WARNING: Only insert or withdraw the other boards while the power supply is switched

off.

WARNING: The modules of this relay may only be inserted in the slots designated in

Section 5.2. Components can be damaged or destroyed by inserting boards in the wrong
slots.

DANGER: Improper handling of the equipment can cause damage or an incorrect

response of the equipment itself or the primary plant.

WARNING: Industry packs and ribbon cables may only be replaced or the positions of

jumpers be changed on a workbench appropriately designed for working on electronic

Chapter 9 Installation

equipment. The modules, bus backplanes are sensitive to electrostatic discharge when
not in the unit's housing.

The basic precautions to guard against electrostatic discharge are as follows:

 Should boards have to be removed from this relay installed in a grounded cubicle in an HV
switchgear installation, discharge yourself by touching station ground (the cubicle)
beforehand.

 Only hold electronic boards at the edges, taking care not to touch the components.

 Only works on boards that have been removed from the cubicle on a workbench designed for
electronic equipment and wear a grounded wristband. Do not wear a grounded wristband,
however, while inserting or withdrawing units.

 Always store and ship the electronic boards in their original packing. Place electronic parts in
electrostatic screened packing materials.

9.3 Checking the Shipment

Check that the consignment is complete immediately upon receipt. Notify the nearest NR
Company or agent, should departures from the delivery note, the shipping papers or the order be
found.

Visually inspect all the material when unpacking it. When there is evidence of transport damage,
lodge a claim immediately in writing with the last carrier and notify the n earest NR Company or
agent.

If the equipment is not going to be installed immediately, store all the parts in their original packing
in a clean dry place at a moderate temperature. The humidity should not exceed 90% at a
maximum temperature of +55°C; the permissible storage temperature range in dry air is -40°C to
+70°C.

9.4 Material and Tools Required

The necessary mounting kits will be provided, including screws, pincers and assembly
instructions.

A suitable drill and spanners are required to secure the cubicles to the floor using the plugs
provided (if RCS-9622CN is mounted in cubicles).

9.5 Device Location and Ambient Conditions

The place of installation should permit easy access especially to front of the device, i.e. to the
human-machine interface of the equipment.

There should also be free access at the rear of the equipment for additions and replacement of

electronic boards.

Since every piece of technical equipment can be damaged or destroyed by inadmissible ambient
conditions, such as:

1) The location should not be exposed to excessive air pollution (dust, aggressive substances).

2) Severe vibration, extreme changes of temperature, high levels of humidity, surge voltages of
high amplitude and short rise time and strong induced magnetic fields should be avoided as
far as possible.

3) Air must not be allowed to circulate freely around the equipment.

The equipment can in principle be mounted in any attitude, but it is normally mounted vertically
(visibility of markings).

WARNING: Excessively high temperature can appreciably reduce the operating life of

the RCS-9622CN.

9.6 Mechanical Installation

This device is made of a single layer 6U height 6” chassis with 4 connectors on its rear panel (See
Figure 5.1-2). Figure 9.6-1 shows the dimensions of RCS-9622CN for reference in mounting.

NOTE: It is necessary to leave enough space top and bottom of the cut-out in the cubicle

for heat emission of the RCS-9622CN.

As mentioned former (Chapter 5 “Hardware Description”), up to four modules are installed in the
enclosure of the RCS-9622CN, and these modules must be plugged into the proper slots of the
RCS-9622CN respectively. The safety instructions must be abided by when installing the boards,
see Section 9.2 “Safety Instructions”. Figure 9.6-2 shows the installation way that a module is
being plugged into a corresponding slot.

Figure 9.6-2 Demonstration of plugging a board into its corresponding slot

In the case of equipment supplied in cubicles, place the cubicles on the foundations that have
been prepared. Take care while doing so not to jam or otherwise damage any of the cables that
have already been installed. Secure the cubicles to the foundations.

9.7 Electrical Installation and Wiring

9.7.1 Grounding Guidelines

Switching operations in HV installations generate transient over voltages on control signal cables.
There is also a background of electromagnetic RF fields in electrical installations that can induce
spurious currents in the devices themselves or the leads connected to them.

All these influences can influence the operation of electronic apparatus.

On the other hand, electronic apparatus can transmit interference that can disrupt the operation of
other apparatus.

In order to minimize these influences as far as possible, certain standards have to b e observed
with respect to grounding, wiring and screening.

NOTE: All these precautions can only be effective if the station ground is of good quality.

112 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.


Chapter 9 Installation

9.7.2 Cubicle Grounding

The cubicle must be designed and fitted out such that the impedance for RF interference of the
ground path from the electronic device to the cubicle ground terminal is as low as possible.

Metal accessories such as side plates, blanking plates etc., must be effectively connected
surface-to-surface to the grounded frame to ensure a low-impedance path to ground for RF
interference. The contact surfaces must not only conduct well, they must also be non -corroding.

NOTE: If the above conditions are not fulfilled, there is a possibility of the cubicle or parts

of it forming a resonant circuit at certain frequencies that would amplify the transmission
of interference by the devices installed and also reduce their immunity to induced
interference.

Movable parts of the cubicle such as doors (front and back) or hinged equipment frames must be
effectively grounded to the frame by three braided copper strips (see Figure 9.7-1).

The metal parts of the cubicle housing and the ground rail are interconnected e lectrically
conducting and corrosion proof. The contact surfaces shall be as large as possible.

NOTE: For metallic connections please observe the voltage difference of both materials

according to the electrochemical code.

The cubicle ground rail must be effectively connected to the station ground rail by a grounding strip
(braided copper).

9.7.3 Ground Connection on the Device

There is a ground terminal on the rear panel (see Figure 9.7-2), and the ground braided copper
strip can be connected with it. Take care that the grounding strip is always as short as possible.
The main thing is that the device is only grounded at one point. Grounding loops from unit to unit
are not allowed.

NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 113


Chapter 9 Installation

There are some ground terminals on some connectors of the RCS-9622CN, and the sign is “GND”.
All the ground terminals are connected in the cabinet of this relay. So, the ground terminal on the
rear panel (see Figure 9.7-2) is the only ground terminal of this device.

Figure 9.7-2 Ground terminal of the RCS-9622CN

9.7.4 Grounding Strips and their Installation

High frequency currents are produced by interference in the ground connections and because of
skin effect at these frequencies, only the surface region of the grounding strips is of consequence.

The grounding strips must therefore be of (preferably tinned) braided copper and not round copper
conductors, as the cross-section of round copper would have to be too large.

Data of braided copper strip: threaded M4, 4.0mm2.

Proper terminations must be fitted to both ends (press/pinch fit and tinned) with a hole for bolting
them firmly to the items to be connected.

The surfaces to which the grounding strips are bolted must be electrically conducting and
non-corroding.

The following figure shows the ground strip and termination.

9.7.5 Guidelines for Wiring

There are several types of cables that are used in the connection of RCS-9622CN: braided copper
cable, serial communication cable.

Recommendation of each cable:

 Grounding: braided copper cable, threaded M4, 4.0mm2

114 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.


Chapter 9 Installation

 Serial communication: 4-core shielded braided cable

 DC Power supply, Binary Output: brained copper cable, 1.5mm 2

9.7.6 Wiring for Electrical Cables

A female connector is used for connecting the wires with it, and then a female connector plugs into
a corresponding male connector that is in the front of one board. For further details about the pin
defines of these connectors, see Chapter 5 “Hardware Description”.

Chapter 10 Commi ssioning

Chapter 10 Commissioning

10.1 General

This relay is fully numerical in their design, implementing all protection and non-protection
functions in software. The relay employ a high degree of self-checking and in the unlikely event of
a failure, will give an alarm. As a result of this, the commissio ning test does not need to be as
extensive as with non-numeric electronic or electro-mechanical relays.

To commission numerical relays, it is only necessary to verify that the hardware is functioning
correctly and the application-specific software settings have been applied to the relay.

Blank commissioning test and setting records are provided at the end of this manual for
completion as required.

Before carrying out any work on the equipment, the user should be familiar with the contents of the
safety and technical data sections and the ratings on the equipment’s rating label.

10.2 Safety Instructions

WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present in this electrical equipment during operation.

Non-observance of the safety rules can result in severe personal injury or property
damage.

WARNING: Only qualified personnel shall work on and around this equipment after

becoming thoroughly familiar with all warnings and safety notices of this manual as well
as with the applicable safety regulations.

Particular attention must be drawn to the following:

 The earthing screw of the device must be connected solidly to the protective earth conductor
before any other electrical connection is made.

 Hazardous voltages can be present on all circuits and components connected to the supply
voltage or to the measuring and test quantities.

 Hazardous voltages can be present in the device even after disconnection of the supply
voltage (storage capacitors!)

 The limit values stated in the technical data (Chapter 2) must not be exceeded at all, not even
during testing and commissioning.

 When testing the device with secondary test equipment, make sure that no other
measurement quantities are connected. Take also into consideration that the trip circuits and
maybe also close commands to the circuit breakers and other primary switches are

NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 117


Chapter 10 Commi ssioning

disconnected from the device unless expressly stated.

DANGER: Current transformer secondary circuits must have been short-circuited before

the current leads to the device are disconnected.

WARNING: Primary test may only be carried out by qualified personnel, who are familiar

with the commissioning of protection system, the operation of the plant and safety rules
and regulations (switching, earthing, etc.)

10.3 Commission Tools

Minimum equipment required:

 Multifunctional dynamic current and voltage injection test set with interval timer.

 Multimeter with suitable AC current range and AC/DC voltage ranges of 0 ~ 440V and 0 ~
250V respectively.

 Continuity tester (if not included in the multimeter).

 Phase angle meter.

 Phase rotation meter.

NOTE: Modern test set may contain many of the above features in one unit.

Optional equipment:

 An electronic or brushless insulation tester with a DC output not exceeding 500V (for
insulation resistance test when required).

 A portable PC, with appropriate software (this enables the rear communications por t to be
tested, if this is to be used, and will also save considerable time during commissioning).

 EIA RS-485 to EIA RS-232 converter (if EIA RS-485 IEC60870-5-103 port is being tested).

 An EPSON® 300K printer.

 RCS-9000 serials dedicated protection tester TEST or HELP-90.

10.4 Setting Familiarization

When commissioning a RCS-9622CN relay for the first time, sufficient time should be allowed to
become familiar with the method by which the settings are applied. The Chapter 6 contains a
detailed description of the menu structure of this relay.

With the front cover in place all keys are accessible. All menu cells can be read. LED indicators
and alarms can be reset. Protection or configuration settings can be changed, or fault and event

118 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.


Chapter 10 Commi ssioning

records cleared. However, menu cells will require the appropriate password to be entered before
changes can be made.

Alternatively, if a portable PC is available together with suitable setting software (such as


RCS-9700 SAS software), the menu can be viewed a page at a time to display a full column of
data and text. This PC software also allows settings to be entered more easily, saved to a file on
disk for future reference or printed to produce a setting record. Refer to the PC software user
manual for details. If the software is being used for the first time, allow sufficient time to become
familiar with its operation.

10.5 Product Checks

These product checks cover all aspects of the relay which should be checked to ensure that it has
not been physically damaged prior to commissioning, is functioning correctly and all input quantity
measurements are within the stated tolerances.

If the application-specific settings have been applied to the relay prior to commissioning, it is
advisable to make a copy of the settings so as to allow them restora tion later. This could be done
by extracting the settings from the relay itself via printer or manually creating a setting record.

10.5.1 With the Relay De-energized


The RCS-9622CN serial transformer protection is fully numerical and the hardware is continuously
monitored. Commissioning tests can be kept to a minimum and need only include hardware tests
and conjunctive tests. The function tests are carried out according to user’s correlative regulations .

The following tests are necessary to ensure the normal operation of the equipment before it is first
put into service.

 Hardware tests

These tests are performed for the following hardware to ensure that there is no hardware
defect. Defects of hardware circuits other than the following can be detected by
self-monitoring when the DC power is supplied.

 User interfaces test

 Binary input circuits and output circuits test

 AC input circuits test

 Function tests

These tests are performed for the following functions that are fully software -based. Tests of
the protection schemes and fault locator require a dynamic test set.

 Measuring elements test

 Timers test

 Metering and recording test

NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 119


Chapter 10 Commi ssioning

 Conjunctive tests

The tests are performed after the relay is connected with the primary equipment and other
external equipment.

 On load test.

 Phase sequence check and polarity check.

10.5.1.1 Visual Inspection

After unpacking the product, check for any damage to the relay case. If there is any damage, the
internal module might also have been affected, contact the vendor. Following items listed is
necessary.

 Protection panel

Carefully examine the protection panel, protection equipment inside and other parts inside to
see that no physical damage has occurred since installation.

The rated information of other auxiliary protections should be checked to ensure i t is correct
for the particular installation.

 Panel wiring

Check the conducting wire which is used in the panel to assure that their cross section
meeting the requirement.

Carefully examine the wiring to see that they are no connection failure exists.

 Label

Check all the isolator binary inputs, terminal blocks, indicators, switches and push buttons to
make sure that their labels meet the requirements of this project.

 Equipment plug-in modules

Check each plug-in module of the equipments on the panel to make sure that they are well
installed into the equipment without any screw loosened.

 Earthing cable

Check whether the earthing cable from the panel terminal block is safely screwed to the panel
steel sheet.

 Switch, keypad, isolator binary inputs and push button

Check whether all the switches, equipment keypad, isolator binary inputs and push buttons
work normally and smoothly.

10.5.1.2 Insulation Test (if required)

Insulation resistance tests are only necessary during commissioning if it is required for them to be
done and they have not been performed during installation.

120 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.


Chapter 10 Commi ssioning

Isolate all wiring from the earth and test the isolation with an electronic or brushless insulation
tester at a DC voltage not exceeding 500V, The circuits need to be tested should include:

 Voltage transformer circuits

 Current transformer circuits

 DC power supply

 Optic-isolated control inputs

 Output contacts

 Communication ports

The insulation resistance should be greater than 100MΩ at 500V.

Test method:

To unplug all the terminals sockets of this relay, and do the Insulation resistance test for each
circuit above with an electronic or brushless insulation tester.

On completion of the insulation resistance tests, ensure all external wiring is correctly reconnected
to the protection

10.5.1.3 Check the Jumpers

In general, the jumpers of the relay have been set correctly before sent to user. While, checking
the jumpers is a good habit before the relay is brought to service. Setting method of the jumpers is
explained in Chapter 5 detailedly.

10.5.1.4 External Wiring

Check that the external wiring is correct to the relevant relay diagram and scheme diagram.
Ensure as far as practical that phasing/phase rotation appears to be as expected.

Check the wiring against the schematic diagram for the installation to ensure compliance with the
customer’s normal practice.

10.5.1.5 Auxiliary Supply

The relay can be operated from either 110/125Vdc or 220/250Vdc auxiliary supply depending on
the relay’s nominal supply rating. The incoming voltage must be within the operating range
specified in the following table, before energizing the relay, measure the auxiliary supply to ensure
it within the operating range.

Rated Voltage 110/125Vdc 220/250Vdc


Variation 80% ~ 120% 80% ~ 120%

It should be noted that the relay can withstand an AC ripple of up to 12% of the upper rated voltage
on the DC auxiliary supply.

WARNING: Energize the relay only if the auxiliary supply is within the specified operating

NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 121


Chapter 10 Commi ssioning

ranges.

10.5.2 With the Relay Energized

The following groups of checks verify that the relay hardware and software is functioning correctly
and should be carried out with the auxiliary supply applied to the relay.

The current and voltage transformer connections must remain isolated from the relay for these
checks. The trip circuit should also remain isolated to prevent accidental operation of the
associated circuit breaker.

10.5.2.1 Front Panel LCD Display

The liquid crystal display (LCD) is designed to operate in a wide range of substation ambient
temperatures. For this purpose, this relay has an automatic “LCD contrast” adjusting feature,
which is capable to adjust LCD contrast automatically according to the ambient temperature.

Connect the relay to DC power supply correctly and turn the relay on. Check program version and
forming time displayed in command menu to ensure that are corresponding to what ordered.

10.5.2.2 Date and Time

If the time and date is not being maintained by substation automation system, the date and time
should be set manually.

Set the date and time to the correct local time and date using menu item “CLOCK”.

In the event of the auxiliary supply failing, with a battery fitted on CPU board, the time and date will
be maintained. Therefore when the auxiliary supply is restored the time and date will be correct
and not need to set again.

To test this, remove the auxiliary supply from the relay for approximately 30s. After being
re-energized, the time and date should be correct.

10.5.2.3 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)

On power up, the green LED “HEALTHY” should have been lit and stayed on indicating that the
relay is healthy.

The relay has latched signal relays which remember the state of the trip, auto -reclose when the
relay was last energized from an auxiliary supply. Therefore these indicators may also be lit when
the auxiliary supply is applied. If any of these LEDs are on then they should be reset before
proceeding with further testing. If the LED successfully reset, the LED goes out. There is no testing
required for that that LED because it is known to be operational.

It is likely that alarms related to Voltage transformer supervision will not reset at this stage.

10.5.2.4 Testing the HEALTHY and ALARM LEDs

Apply the rated DC Power supply and check that the “HEALTHY” LED is lighting in green. We
need to emphasize that the “HEALTHY” LED is always lighting in operation course except that the
equipment find serious errors in it.

122 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.


Chapter 10 Commi ssioning

Produce one of the abnormal conditions listed in chapter 4, the “ ALARM ” LED will light in yellow.
When abnormal condition reset, the “ALARM ” LED extinguishes.

10.5.2.5 Testing the TRIP LED

The “TRIP” LED can be tested by initiating a manual circuit breaker trip from the relay. However
the “TRIP” LED will operate during the setting checks (performed later). Therefore no further
testing of the “TRIP” LED is required at this stage.

10.5.2.6 Testing the AC Current Inputs

This test verified that the accuracy of current measurement is within the acceptable tolerances.

Apply current equal to the line current transformer secondary winding rating to each current
transformer input of the corresponding rating in turn, see the following table or external connection
diagram for appropriate terminal numbers, checking its magnitude using a multimeter/test set
readout. The corresponding reading can then be checked in the relays menu.

The current measurement accuracy of the relay is ±2.5%. However an additional allowance must
be made for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.

6. Simulate a normal condition with normal bus voltage and line current and voltage again. The
relay will restore the stage 1 OC protection automatically. Restore the “ TRIP” indicator and the
LCD manually.

10.5.3.11 Mechanical Protection Check

This check, performed the mechanical protection function in No.1 setting group, demonstrates that
the relay is operating correctly at the application-specific settings. We will use the No.1 mechanical
protection as an example.

1. Enable the No.1 mechanical protection.

 Set the logic setting [En_MR1] as “1” in the relay’s “PROT SETTINGS” menu.

 Set other logic settings as “0” in the relay’s “PROT SETTINGS” menu.

 Set the VEBI setting [VEBI_MR1] as “1” in the “VEBI SETTINGS” menu.

2. De-energize all the binary inputs of this relay.

3. Simulate a normal condition, and the CB is closed.

4. Energize the binary input [BI_MR1] (Terminal: 326).

5. Then, the No.1 mechanical protection will operate and issue the trip command at once. The
“TRIP” LED indicator will be lit; a relevant report will be shown on the LCD.

6. De-energize the binary input [BI_MR1] (Terminal: 326). The relay will restore the No.1
mechanical protection automatically. Restore the “TRIP” indicator and the LCD manually.

NOTE: The other mechanical protections can be tested through the same method that is

described as above.

10.5.4 Print Fault Report


In order to acquire the details of protection operation, it is convenient to print the fault report of
protection device. For further details, see Section 6.7.3 “View Reports by Printing”.

10.5.5 On-load Checks

The objectives of the on-load checks are:

 Confirm the external wiring to the current and voltage inputs is correct.

 Measure the magnitude of on-load current and voltage (if applicable).

 Check the polarity of each current transformer.

However, these checks can only be carried out if there are no restrictions preventing the
tenderization of the plant being protected.

Remove all test leads, temporary shorting leads, etc. and replace any external wiring that has
been removed to allow testing.

Chapter 10 Commi ssioning

If it has been necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the protection in order to
perform any of the foregoing tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in
accordance with the relevant external connection or scheme diagram. Confirm current and voltage
transformer wiring.

10.5.6 Final Checks


After the above tests are completed, remove all test or temporary shorting leads, etc. If it has been
necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the protection in order to perform the
wiring verification tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in accordance with
the relevant external connection or scheme diagram.

Ensure that the protection has been restored to service.

If the protection is in a new installation or the circuit breaker has just been maintained, the circuit
breaker maintenance and current counters should be zero. If a test block is installed, remove the
test plug and replace the cover so that the protection is put into service.

Ensure that all event records, fault records, disturbance records and alarms have been cleared
and LED’s has been reset before leaving the protection.

Chapter 11 Maintenance

11.1 Maintenance Schedule

It is recommended that products supplied by NR receive periodic monitoring after installation. In


view of the critical nature of protective relays and their infrequent operation, it is desirable to
confirm that they are operating correctly at regular intervals.

This relays are self-supervised and so require less maintenance than earlier designs of relay. Most
problems will result in an alarm so that remedial action can be taken. However, some periodic
tests should be done to ensure that the relay is functioning correctly and the external wiring is
intact.

11.2 Regular Testing

The relay is almost completely self-supervised. The circuits which can not be supervised are
binary input, output circuits and human machine interfaces. Therefore regular testing can be
minimized to checking the unsupervised circuits.

11.3 Failure Tracing and Repair

Failures will be detected by automatic supervision or regular testing.

When a failure is detected by supervision, a remote alarm is issued and the failure is indicated on
the front panel with LED indicators and LCD display. It is also recorded in the alarm record.
Failures detected by supervision are traced by checking the “ ALM REPORT” screen on the LCD.
See Section 6.3.3 “Display under Abnormal Condition” for the details of the alarm events.

When a failure is detected during regular testing, confirm the following:

 Test circuit connections are correct

 Modules are securely inserted in position

 Correct DC power voltage is applied

 Correct AC inputs are applied

 Test procedures comply with those stated in the manual

11.4 Replace Failed Modules

If the failure is identified to be in the relay module and the user has spare modules, the user can
recover the protection by replacing the failed modules.

NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 133


Chapter 11 Maintenance

Repair at the site should be limited to module replacement. Maintenance at the component level is
not recommended.

Check that the replacement module has an identical module name (AI, PWR, CPU, SWI and AO)
and hardware type-form as the removed module. Furthermore, the CPU module replaced should
have the same software version. And the AI and PWR module replaced should have the same
ratings.

WARNING: Units and modules may only be replaced while the supply is switched off and

only by appropriately trained and qualified personnel. Strictly ob serve the basic
precautions to guard against electrostatic discharge.

WARNING: When handling a module, take anti-static measures such as wearing an

earthed wrist band and placing modules on an earthed conductive mat. Otherwise , many
of the electronic components could suffer damage. After replacing the CPU module,
check the settings.

DANGER: After replacing modules, be sure to check that the same configuration is set

as before the replacement. If this is not the case, there is a danger of the unintended
operation of switchgear taking place or of protections not functioning correctly. Persons
may also be put in danger.
