2 Introduction

The FREJA 300/306 relay testing system is a computer-aided


relay testing and simulation system. The rugged hardware Service / Technical support
design is built for field use over a wide temperature range, For technical assistance please contact your local
with the possibilities of intelligent software to perform rapid
representative or direct your request to Megger in
testing.
The instruments can be operated with or without a PC. Sweden.
After being put into the Local mode, FREJA 300/306 can E-mail: support-sweden@megger.com
be used stand-alone without a PC. Using the Local mode is
easy. The function of each key is described on the display,
which also presents the settings and measured values.
Tel: +46 8 510 195 00
FREJA 306 is an excellent choice when you want more
current outputs, higher amps, VA or compliance voltage. Fax: +46 8 510 195 95
Use it to test differential relays with 6 currents, or virtually
any single or 3-phase relay.
When testing 1-phase relays, you can make use of either

the high current (over 100 A), or the very high compliance
voltage. This now makes it possible to test high impedance
relays of different kinds, like rotating disc relays, earth
protection relays, etc.

The external amplifier CA30 is primarily designed to
generate AC currents but can also be used to generate DC

Distortion alarm
If the output current from CA30 cannot follow the incoming
signal due to the load impedance, the distortion alarm is
activated. Each channel measures the distortion and gives
a distortion signal that turns on the LED on the panel and
gives a signal on the monitor output.
The distortion alarm is also activated by overtemperature.

Resolution
FREJA use a binary search to find the zone border. The
smallest step is defined in the “Resolution” field. If you
test a relay with a short reach (small impedance settings)
you might need to decrease the “Resolution” value. This is
most important if two zones are very close to each other. If

Before you can generate the transient file with FREJA you

will be converted to SDF files (Sample Data Files).
Select the converter you want to use.

Name Works with files


Comtrade .DAT and .CFG
Ascii .DAT
Emtp .PL4

Comtrade
Comtrade is probably the most used converter. The file can be
in an Ascii or binary format. To convert a Comtrade file you
need the following information and files:

▪▪DAT file, contains the data.


▪▪CFG file, contains the channel list and sampling frequency.
The CFG and DAT files must be stored in the same
directory.
▪▪CT and VT ratio for the recorded data. This is the ratio
between the data in the file and the output FREJA shall
generate. Sometimes the values for the voltage are in kVolt
sometimes in Volt. This means it can e.g. be a conversion
factor of 385 to 110 or 385 000 to 110.

112 FREJA 300/306 ZP-CF02E CF0280SE

Ascii
Ascii format is normally a text file. The columns represent
the different generators and the lines represent each sample
(up to 2000). The text file must only contain numbers with
data. If the text file contains additional text information as
in the picture below (the text marked), you can use a normal
text editor to delete it. Then save it with extension DAT.

You can also use Excel to create your own data file. Insert
the data in 6 columns (one for each generator) and max
2000 lines. Save it as text file. Use Explorer to rename it with

Pickup – menu Ramps


The test is performed by injection of pseudo-continuous
ramps, in the attempt to search the static accuracy of the
most sensitive part of the biased characteristic.
The current (or the currents, depending if the test is single-
phase or three-phase) is increased by a small quantity after a
small amount of time. The ramp stops when FREJA receives
the trip signal.
1] Select "Ramp type".
Different ramps are available, usually the
“slow” ramp is okay.

Purpose of the test


This test verifies the minimum operating current of the
differential protection relay, or in other words, its maximum
sensitivity for three phase and single phase faults for each
winding individually.
Graphically speaking, this test will search for the following
point of the biased characteristic.

In the pre-defined ramps, FREJA Differential approximates


where the expected trip point should be, according to the
settings given in "Config" menu, and starts the ramp a little
bit below the expected trip point, and stops after pre-set
values.

If the trip point is unknown, or if the setting given in the


"Config" menu is wrong, the pre-defined ramp might stop
without that any trip point has been detected. In this case
0.2 p.u. it is better to use the “Custom” ramp, where the user can
20% adjust all the parameters at his choice.

While for three-phase faults, the searched point is


determined by a well defined setting in the relay
characteristic (IMinOp, IDeltaMin, etc.), for single phase
faults the relay is usually less sensitive (it requires more
differential current in order to trip) because of the so called
zero-sequence subtraction, a necessary filtering to achieve
stability. FREJA Differential uses a special coefficient to
describe this phenomenon.

In this example the setting value is 20% (see "Config" menu).

0.73 A (= 886.64 A primary).
The “1phase/3phase factor” is 1.5 (zero-sequence subtraction
on Winding1, because of its star connection with neutral low
impedance grounded).
Expected pickup value is 0.2 x 0.73 A x 1.5 = 0.22 A.
FREJA Differential shows a green lamp close to the tested
point if the measured pickup value corresponds to the
expected one within the error given by the tolerance in the
"Config" menu.

Expected test results


The three-phase pick-up value is expected to be equal to the
set value for the relay.
For single phase injections, the pickup value depends on
how the relay manufacturer has implemented the zero-
sequence subtraction feature, which it also depends on
the application. Even if practical guidelines could be given,

from the relay, especially for those relays where this feature
is settable by the user. Eventually it can be suggested to run
the Wizard, to have important indication on the stability
(security) of the relay for external faults. This stability is very
much depending on the zero sequence subtraction for the
relevant windings.

Bias Char. – menu

Purpose of the test


This test verifies that the relay biased characteristic is
according to the settings. For numerical relays, this is
very often the case, unless the relay is damaged (but
this is indicated with high probability from the relay self
supervision). The meaning of this test is then to verify that
the relay settings are correct, and for this it is very important
that the reference graph, or anyway the theoretical
characteristic, is entered in FREJA Win Differential from the
setting report, which is usually available in paper format .

Note Please consider that most unwanted trips


caused by correctly commissioned transformer
relays have been caused by the fact that the
relay was tested, but it was in the wrong
setting group, or the relay was tested but the
relay settings were wrong compared to the
formal setting document.
The bias characteristic is defined for numerical relays for
three-phase faults, as single phase faults might be affected
by the zero sequence subtraction which affects both the
calculated differential and bias currents.
For testing the characteristic in commissioning situation, it
is enough to use the binary search algorithms. For testing
the so called “static accuracy” of the relay, it is necessary to

perform the pseudo-continuous ramp. This concept will be


better described in the next paragraphs.

Pseudo-continuous ramps
Testing the static accuracy of the relay means to energize
the measuring circuits (or measuring algorithms) of the
relay with a “quasi stationary” quantities (currents). This
test should be performed if there are some doubts on the
accuracy of the measuring elements of the relay.
The test is performed by injection of pseudo-continuous
ramps, in both windings, where the differential current is
increased while the bias current is kept constant.

the test time for each ramp can be quite long,
and you have to be careful to not thermally
overload the input circuits of the relay.

can manage a continuous current of 3 or
4 times the relay rated current. If you are
unsure about the thermal capability of the
relay inputs, set these values as max values
in the configuration menu to make sure that
FREJA Win Differential will not inject cur-
rents above the max values, when defining
the ramps.

FREJA Win Differential will search for the

that while the pseudo-continuous ramps have

(testing the static accuracy of the measuring
elements of the relay), the sequence of shot
tests in principle stimulates the relay in a non

that relays with instantaneous operate time With reference graph

If the reference graph has not been drawn, the above tests
will give the measured characteristic of the relay, and the
values found by FREJA Win Differential can be compared
with the reference graph available probably on the setting
document. The accuracy will not be the same, but usually
this method brings to satisfactory results.
For single shots (Manual mode), if the reference graph is
available, FREJA Win Differential will give OK result for trips
received above the theoretical characteristic and for NO trips
below it. For faults within the accuracy lines, it is accepted
both trip or NO trip.
If the reference graph is not available, the test is used
probably for troubleshooting and the correct response of
the relay for the simulated fault has to be decided by the
test engineer.
Please keep in mind that for faults very close to the border
of the characteristic, the relay will show higher trip times
than the typical ones, and this test should be avoided,
unless it is a border check.

2] Start by clicking on button START.


FREJA Win Differential will generate the
sequence of pre-fault and fault for any test
point available on the graph, and will report
OK for trip above the characteristic and for
NO TRIP below the characteristic, outside of
the tolerance lines. Inside the tolerance lines
FREJA Win Differential accepts both trip or
no-trip response from the relay.
When performing the manual tests, the re-
sult shown in the field “Test time” represents
the measured relay operate time, in seconds.

Expected test results


Supposing that the reference graph has been drawn from
the relay settings available on the setting report document,
the ramp tests (pseudo-continuous or shots with binary
search) should give results that match the theoretical biased
characteristic, within the given tolerances.

means to run a switch onto fault test: relay algorithms It is also a known fact that any internal or external fault
may recognize this situation and “disable the harmonic (three phase system unbalanced) can be expressed as linear

but they are not important for transformer differential
protection. Thus, if the differential relay is stable for external
faults for containing one sequence component at the time,
it will be stable for any linear combination of them. At the
same time this test method proves that relay will operate
correctly for most internal faults .

Note The Wizard cannot prove stability/instabil-


ity for ALL internal/external faults, as several
other parameters, not testable during com-
missioning will affect the reliability of the
relay. For internal faults, the relay settings and
sensitivity should be considered (bias charac-
teristic); for external faults -for instance- the
handling of current transformer saturation or
the implementation of digital filters / algo-
rithms in the relay has to be considered as
well. For these last properties, the test engi-
neer has to trust the relay manufacturer.
The mathematical background of the algorithm
implemented in the Wizard is available in the following

The Wizard will not replace all the other

Warnings
Warnings are generated in the report when you are
prompted with a message like this below. The test is
repeated (click on YES) and the message appears again, or if
you decide to continue (click on No).

Important
If you are not able to solve such warnings,
for instance because you are not allowed
to change settings that have already been
approved, or you do not know how to
do it, it is strongly recommended to take
the issue up with the one responsible for
the setting because the probability that
the relay will trip for external earth faults
is quite high. Eventually consider also to
inform Megger or the relay manufacturer
for support in solving this issue.

You can create a reference graph in five ways:
A] Manual method. Draw the lines, circle, lenses Note It is very important to create the zones in the

graph consists of several elements). ever it is possible to change the zone order by
clicking the button:
B] Semiautomatic method. Select among the list
of sample reference graphs for distance relays
in FREJA (C:\PETOOL\FREJAWIN\REFGRAPH)
and change the desired elements manually.
C] Fully automatic method. Calculate the refe-
rence graph automatically with the optional
ProGraph (an application for Excel). Insert or
import the setting values for the relay . This
can be done more accurately by taking values
from the selectivity plan. For this, you must
have the software Excel installed on your PC.
D] Import a current vs. time reference graph
from a text-file (.txt).
E] Use the ready made relay curves stored in the Recommended sequence for entering elements
reference graph editor library.

Manual method
1] Click on the ion “Edit create reference graph”
on the toolbar.

This will open the “Reference graph editor”

Not permitted sequence for entering elements


You can select different types of elements (LINE, CIRCLE,
LENS etc.) using the icons to the left or in the “Element”
box.
LINE
Defined as an angle and
a point on horizontal or
vertical xis.

A reference graph consists of several “elements”. You


can make the reference graph in “counter-clockwise” or
“clockwise” direction, normally use counter-clockwise.
Normally you shall use the correct angle. This means if you
select 0 degrees this will point in right direction, if you select
180 degrees this will point in left direction. The direction will
be shown, at the second line, as a red line, you can change
the direction by clicking the button,

Making a reference graph


from a table
There are number of ways to make tables for building
reference graphs. In FREJA Win you can find tables that can
be used as they are or edited as you wish. It is also possible
to import data from e.g. Microsoft Excel.
In "FREJA Win Control Center" open "Table editor for
current voltage curves".

Using a built-in table


1] Select the relay entry from the list.
2] Click the "Read" button.
The reference graph is shown and ready to
be used.

3] Click "Load in Current" (or "Load in Voltage" if


Voltage is selected).
Now the reference graph is activated in the
selected instrument.

Note To be able to activate a curve in a test it is


necessary that a test is prepared in the Cur-
rent/Voltage instrument.

Editing/adding tables
Use the buttons "Paste", "Copy" and "Clear" to edit tables.
This enables to copy and paste data from/to other tables
e.g. Microsoft Excel. You can also enter new values directly
into the table.

PASS is indicated with a “”
FAIL is indicated with “FAIL”
“- - means not tested.

PASS is indicated with a “”
FAIL is indicated with “F”.
In Zt there can also be a “X”, this means time out, no trip
within the defined time.
In the graphical:
Fail is indicated with a red ring around the test point.

Note If this test point is on the border between two

Basic Using the Calibration Box 2


Calibration of FREJA 300/306 is recommended once a year.
To perform a calibration you use a calibration box. There Important
are two models of the calibration box, the new called Disconnect amplifiers during calibration.
”Calibration Box 2” and the old ”Calibration Box” On FREJA 306 disconnect the cables to the
CH1 – CH3 outputs.

Note The Calibration box and FREJA 300/306


should be powered on at least 30 minutes
before starting the calibration procedure.
The ambient temperature should be 20 to
26°C (68 to 79°F) and stable during the
calibration, ±1°C (±2°F).

Note The figures in this chapter shows FREJA 300


but the hook-up is the same for FREJA 306.

Channels

1] Connect the Calibration box as shown in the
figure below.

The Calibration Boxes ”transfers” the accurate reference


values for voltage, current and time into FREJA 300.
Calibration using the Calibration boxes does not affect the
CA3. CA3 must be calibrated separately, see the CA3 User’s
manual.
The Calibration box should be checked and calibrated once
a year. This should be done at an authorized instrument
workshop. For instructions see chapter ”Calibration Boxes”.

Binary In Distance and Differential is it a technique
search for locating a particular value by beginning
with a wide interval. If the searched value is
below the middle of the interval FREJA Win
will narrow the interval to the lower half.
Otherwise the interval will be narrowed to
the upper half. This will be repeated until
the value is found or the interval is empty.

small the ramp can be considered continu-

Quick guide

Report design
With the report generator it is possible to change the design of the reports.
It is quite easy to change the layout of the report by adding lines, text and pictures.
But it is more job to edit the tables and the graphs. We recommend the ”normal
user” to edit base and first page only and leave the rest of the pages as they are. In
this way you can easily get the first page as you like with your logotype and text
information.
Here is a short introduction in how to use the List&Label report generator. For
more detailed information see the List&Label manual (in English or German
language only).

Templates
To make reports you use different templates depending on from which instrument
you make the report. Reports can contain a summary page, tables and graphical
pictures of the result. There are also templates with only summary or summary and
tables.
The templates are different types of list files (LST-files). You can edit the tem-
plates your self, some parts are quite easy to edit some parts not so easy.

Change logotype
Exchange the file ”logo.bmp” in C:\PETOOLS\REPORT to your logo file in bmp
file format.

How to edit the layout of the report


Click the ”Design” button to start the List&Label report generator. You will see
the picture below.

This example will show the Distance report, but it is the same way of working for
the other reports.

Layers
In the ”Layers” window you can open or close the different layers. We recommend
you to work only with the ”Base” and ”First page” layers.

Base layer
The ”Base layer” shows the objects that will be printed on every page.

Note! All objects you


create on the
“Base” layer will
be shown on all
pages. If you want
it only to be shown
on the first page,
make sure you
have only selected
the “First page”
layer. You can also
mark an object,
right click and
select “Assign to
layer”

Insert lines
Use the ”Insert line” button, drag the line from start to end.

Insert rectangles
Use the ”Insert rectangles” button, drag the rectangle with the mouse.

Multiple copies
Multiple copies are good to use e.g. when you want to make a table.
1. First create a rectangle.
2. Select it with the ”Select” button.
3. Right click and select ”Multiple copies”.
4. Define the number of copies, in columns and rows.

Group
1. Select the objects to group.
2. Click the ”Select” button and use <Shift>+left mouse button to mark the objects, or mark several objects
in an area using the mouse.
3. Right click and select ”Group” This can be very good when you e.g. have used ”Multiple copies”.

Ungroup
Select the object to ungroup. Right click and select ”Ungroup”.

Align

Using these buttons you can align different objects. Align to the left, right, up or
down. You can also get the same size for horizontal and vertical.
Click the ”Select” button and use <Shift>+left mouse button to mark the objects,
or mark several objects in an area using the mouse.

Normally you only edit ”Base” and ”First page”. However you can edit the
column name in the tables for Zt, RX-Ramp and RX, e.g. to write it in your own
language.
1. Select the ”ZT_FP1” layer.
2. Select the table.
3. Right click and select ”Properties”.

4. Select the line (column name) you want to edit.

Save
The report template you have created should be saved as an LST-file in
C:\PETOOLS\FREJAWIN\
REPORT\DISTANCE . By doing this you can later on select it from the Distance
instrument in Freja Win when you want to make a report. Another way is to click
the button ”Select as default” when you make the report next time.

Design help for report templates


For more information on how to make report templates you can use the built in
help from List&Label or look in the manual after this chapter (only available in
English or German language).
Do you need any help to design your report templates, Programma Electric can
offer this on consultant bases. Please contact your local representative for more
information.
