1 Warnings and legal information

This manual gives guidelines to the use and installation of the DEIF multi-line 2 units. It is, however, not a complete installation
instruction. Therefore, even if terminal numbers may be shown in the drawings, the drawings are to be used as guidance only.

Installing and operating the multi-line 2 units implies work with dangerous currents and voltages, and therefore only
qualified personnel should do it.

During the installation care must be taken to protect the terminals against static discharges. Once the units are installed and
connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.

DEIF takes no responsibility for operation or installation of the generator set. If there is any doubt about how to install or
operate the system on which the multi-line 2 unit is measuring, the company responsible for the installation or the operation
must be contacted.

2 Function descriptions
The measurements of the generator currents and voltages are split up in three fictitious systems: The positive sequence system with
a positive rotation direction, the negative sequence system with a negative rotation direction and the zero sequence system with a
positive rotation direction. The positive sequence system represents the fault-free part of the voltages and currents, being a result of
the generator’s power production to the consumers.The negative sequence system which rotates counter-direction to the generator is
used for the protections negative sequence current and negative sequence voltage to prevent generator overheating, the zero
sequence system is used for detection of earth faults.

2.1 Positive sequence

The positive sequence system is what we want to see, these are the voltages and currents that can be used by the consumers.

2.2 Negative sequence

A negative sequence current increases the risc of dangerous overheating in the generator which could lead to damage.

The negative sequence currents and voltages can occur e.g. in the event of single phase loads, unbalanced line short circuits and
open conductors, unbalanced phase-phase or phase-neutral loads.

Especially negative sequence currents can produce harmful overheating in the generator. The reason is that these currents produce a
magnetic field counter-rotating to the rotor. This field crosses the rotor at twice the rotor velocity, inducing double-frequency currents
in the field system and in the rotor body.

2.3 Zero sequence

Zero sequence is used to detect a ground fault (ground current or neutral voltage). It is done using measurement of the vectorial
displacement of the zero (star point) value for both current and voltage. The zero sequence measurement can therefore replace the
more well-known methods of using zero voltage measurement or summation transformers (zero sequence transformers).

3.2 Relay function selections

The relays can be configured in the three different ways described below. In the display menu structure this setup can be found under
“System”.

Relay function PC utility Description

software
set point
Alarm 0 When an alarm activates the relay, it is activated as long as the alarm is present and
unacknowledged
Alarm + sync. block 1 When an alarm activates the relay, it is activated as long as the alarm is present and
unacknowledged. Also it is not possible to synchronise the generator breaker as long as the
alarm is active
Limit 2 When an alarm activates the relay, no alarm message is displayed. After the condition
activating this relay has returned to normal, the relay will deactivate when the Timer setting
(“Off Delay”) has expired

In the PC utility software, it looks like this:

The availability of relays is related to hardware choice. Please refer to the description of hardware options. Therefore, the following is
just an example.
