Safety information

Strictly follow the company and international safety regulations.

Working in a high voltage environment requires serious approch to

aviod human injuries and damage to equipment

Do not touch any circuitry during operation. Potentially lethal

voltages and currents are present

Avoid to touching the circuitry when covers are removed. The IED

contains electirc circuits which can be damaged if exposed to static

electricity. Lethal high voltage circuits are also exposed when covers

are removed

Using the isolated test pins when measuring signals in open circuitry.

Potentially lethal voltages and currents are present

Never connect or disconnect wire and/or connector to or from IED

during normal operation. Dangerous voltages and currents are

present. Operation may be interrupted and IED and measuring

circuitry may be damaged

Always connect the IED to protective earth regardless of the

operating conditions. Operating the IED without proper earthing may

damage both IED and measuring circuitry and may cause injuries in

case of an accident.

Do not disconnect the secondary connection of current transformer

without short-circuiting the transformer’s secondary winding.

Operating a current transformer with the secondary winding open will

cause a high voltage that may damage the transformer and may

cause injuries to humans.

Do not remove the screw from a powered IED or from an IED

connected to power circuitry. Potentially lethal voltages and currents

are present

Using the certified conductive bags to transport PCBs (modules).

Handling modules with a conductive wrist strap connected to

protective earth and on an antistatic surface. Electrostatic discharge

may cause damage to the module due to electronic circuits are

sensitive to this phenomenon

Page 5: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Do not connect live wires to the IED, internal circuitry may be

damaged

When replacing modules using a conductive wrist strap connected to

protective earth. Electrostatic discharge may damage the modules

and IED circuitry

When installing and commissioning, take care to avoid electrical

shock if accessing wiring and connection IEDs

Changing the setting value group will inevitably change the IEDs

operation. Be careful and check regulations before making the

change

3 Disturbance recorder

3.1 Introduction

To get fast, complete and reliable information about fault current, voltage,

binary signal and other disturbances in the power system is very important.

This is accomplished by the disturbance recorder function and facilitates a

better understanding of the behavior of the power system and related primary

and secondary equipment during and after a disturbance. An analysis of the

recorded data provides valuable information that can be used to explain a

disturbance, basis for change of IED setting plan, improvement of existing

equipment etc.

The disturbance recorder, always included in the IED, acquires sampled data

from measured analogue quantities, calculated analogue quantity, binary

input and output signals.

The function is characterized by great flexibility and is not dependent on the

operation of protection functions. It can even record disturbances not tripped

by protection functions.

The disturbance recorder information is saved for each of the recorded

disturbances in the IED and the user may use the local human machine

interface or dedicated tool to get some general information about the

recordings. The disturbance recording information is included in the

disturbance recorder files. The information is also available on a station bus

according to IEC 61850 and IEC 60870-5-103.

Fault wave recorder with great capacity, can record full process of any fault,

and can save the corresponding records. Optional data format or wave format

is provided, and can be exported through serial port or Ethernet port by

COMTRADE format.

4.1 Introduction

The IED may test all hardware components itself, including loop out of the

relay coil. Watch can find whether or not the IED is in fault through warning

LED and warning characters which show in liquid crystal display and display

reports to tell fault type.

The method of fault elimination is replacing fault board or eliminating external

fault.

5 Time synchronization

5.1 Introduction

Use the time synchronization source selector to select a common source of

absolute time for the IED when it is a part of a protection system. This makes

comparison of events and disturbance data between all IEDs in a SA system

possible.

5.2 Synchronization principle

Time definitions

The error of a clock is the difference between the actual time of the clock, and

the time the clock is intended to have. The rate accuracy of a clock is

normally called the clock accuracy and means how much the error increases,

i.e. how much the clock gains or loses time. A disciplined clock is a clock that

“knows” its own faults and tries to compensate for them, i.e. a trained clock.

Synchronization principle

From a general point of view synchronization can be seen as a hierarchical

structure. A module is synchronized from a higher level and provides

synchronization to lower levels.

A module is said to be synchronized when it periodically receives

synchronization messages from a higher level. As the level decreases, the

accuracy of the synchronization decreases as well. A module can have

Page 31: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 2 General IED application

17

several potential sources of synchronization, with different maximum errors,

which gives the module the possibility to choose the source with the best

quality, and to adjust its internal clock from this source. The maximum error of

a clock can be defined as a function of:

The maximum error of the last used synchronization message

The time since the last used synchronization message

The rate accuracy of the internal clock in the module.

5.2.1 Synchronization from IRIG

The built in GPS clock module receives and decodes time information from

the global positioning system. The module is located on the Communication

Module (MASTER). The GPS interfaces to the IED supply two possible

synchronization methods, IRIGB and PPS (or PPM).

5.2.2 Synchronization via PPS or PPM

The IED accepts PPS or PPM to the GPS interfaces on the Communication

Module. These pulses can be generated from e.g. station master clock. If the

station master clock is not synchronized from a world wide source, time will

be a relative time valid for the substation. Both positive and negative edges

on the signal can be accepted. This signal is also considered as a fine signal.

5.2.3 Synchronization via SNTP

SNTP provides a “Ping-Pong” method of synchronization. A message is sent

from an IED to an SNTP-server, and the SNTP-server returns the message

after filling in a reception time and a transmission time. SNTP operates via the

normal Ethernet network that connects IEDs together in an IEC61850

network. For SNTP to operate properly, there must be a SNTP-server present,

preferably in the same station. The SNTP synchronization provides an

accuracy that will give 1ms accuracy for binary inputs. The IED itself can be

set as a SNTP-time server.

6 Setting

6.1 Introduction

Settings are divided into separate lists according to different functions. The

printed setting sheet consists of two parts -setting list and communication

parameters.

6.2 Operation principle

The setting procedure can be ended at the time by the key “SET” or “QUIT”. If

the key “SET” is pressed, the display shows the question “choose setting

zone”. The range of setting zone is from 1 to 16. After confirming with the

setting zone-key “SET”, those new settings will be valid. If key “QUIT” is

pressed instead, all modification which have been changed will be ignored.

7 Authorization

7.1 Introduction

To safeguard the interests of our customers, both the IED and the tools that

are accessing the IED are protected, subject of authorization handling. The

concept of authorization, as it is implemented in the IED and the associated

tools is based on the following facts:

There are two types of points of access to the IED:

local, through the local HMI

remote, through the communication ports

There are different levels (or types) of guest, super user and protection

engineer that can access or operate different areas of the IED and tools

functionality.

1 Overcurrent protection

1.1 Introduction

The directional/non-directional overcurrent protection function can be applied

as backup protection functions in various applications for transmission lines.

The directional overcurrent protection can be used based on both the

magnitude of the fault current and the direction of power flow to the fault

location such as parallel lines. Main features of the overcurrent protection are

as follows:

Two definite time stages

One inverse time stage

11 kinds of IEC and ANSI inverse time characteristic curves as well as

optional user defined characteristic

Selectable directional element characteristic angle to satisfy the different

network conditions and applications

Each stage can be set individually as directional/non-directional,

Directional element can be set to be forward toward the protected object

or reverse toward system for all stages

Each stage can be set individually for inrush restraint

Cross blocking function for inrush detection

Settable maximum inrush current

VT secondary circuit supervision for directional protection. Once VT

failure happens, the directional stage can be set to be blocked or to be

non-directional stage

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Time characteristic

The IED is designed with three overcurrent protection stages of which two

Page 37: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 3 Overcurrent protection

23

stages operate as definite overcurrent stages and the other one operates with

inverse time-current characteristic. 11 kinds of inverse time characteristics

are available. It is also possible to create a user defined time characteristic.

Each stage can operate in conjunction with the integrated inrush restraint,

directional functions and operate based on measured phase current.

Furthermore, each stage is independent from each other and can be

combined as desired.

Pickup value for the definite stage can be set in setting value. Each phase

current is compared with the corresponding setting value with delay time. If

currents exceed the associated pickup value, after expiry of the time delay,

the trip command is issued.

The pickup value for inverse time stage can be set in setting value. The

measured phase currents are compared with corresponding setting value and

if any phase exceeds that setting, the protection will issue a trip command

with corresponding delay time.

The time delay of inverse time characteristic is calculated based on the type

of the set characteristic, the magnitude of the current and a time multiplier.

For the inverse time characteristic, both ANSI and IEC based standard curves

are available, and any user-defined characteristic can be defined using the

following equation:

t = A_OC

i

I_OC

p _OC− 1

+ B_OC K_OC

Equation 1

where:

A_OC: Time factor for inverse time stage

B_OC: Delay time for inverse time stage

P_OC: index for inverse time stage

K_OC: Time multiplier

1.2.2 Inrush restraint feature

The IED may detect large magnetizing inrush currents during transformer

energizing. Inrush current comprises large second harmonic current which

Page 38: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 3 Overcurrent protection

24

does not appear in short circuit current. Therefore, inrush current may affect

the protection functions which will operate based on the fundamental

component of the measured current. Accordingly, inrush restraint logic is

provided to prevent overcurrent protection from maloperation.

The inrush restraint feature operates based on evaluation of the 2nd harmonic

content which is present in measured current. The inrush condition is

recognized when the ratio of second harmonic current to fundamental

component exceeds the corresponding setting value for each phase. The

setting value is applicable for both definite time stage and inverse time stage.

The inrush restraint feature will be performed as soon as the ration exceeds

the set threshold.

Furthermore, by recognition of the inrush current in one phase, it is possible

to set the protection in a way that not only the phase with the considerable

inrush current, but also the other phases are blocked for a certain time. This is

achieved by cross-blocking feature integrated in the IED.

The inrush restraint function has a maximum inrush current setting. Once the

measuring current exceeds the setting, the overcurrent protection will not be

blocked any longer.

1.2.3 Direciton determination feature

The direction detection is performed by determining the position of current

vector in directional characteristic. In other word, it is done by comparing

phase angle between the fault current and the reference voltage. Figure 1

illustrates the direction detection characteristic for phase A element.

Two operation areas are provided for direction determination, the forward

area toward the protected object and the reverse area toward the system,

which are shown in Figure 1.

determination shows in Table 2 for different types of faults.

Table 2 Assignment of current and reference voltage for directional element

Phase Current Voltage

A aI bcU

B bI caU

C cI abU

For three-phase short-circuit fault, without any healthy phase, memory

voltage values are used to determine direction clearly if the measured voltage

values are not sufficient. The detected direction is based on the memory

voltage of previous power cycles.

If VT fail happen (a short circuit or broken wire in the voltage transformer's

secondary circuit or voltage transformer fuse), the protection can be set to be

blocked or to be applied as non-directional overcurrent protection.

The following logic diagram is applicable for phase A. Phase B and phase C

logic diagrams are similar with the phase A logic.

1 Earth fault protection

1.1 Introduction

The earth fault protection can be used to clear phase to earth faults as system

back-up protection. The earth fault protection is can also be applied for

coordination based on both magnitude of earth fault current and the direction

of power flow to the fault location.

The protection provides the following features:

Two definite time stages

One inverse time stage

11 kinds of the IEC and ANSI inverse time characteristic curves as well

as optional user defined characteristic

Zero sequence directional element

Negative sequence directional element can be applied as a supplement

to zero sequence directional element. It can be enabled/disabled by

setting

Each stage can be set individually as directional/non-directional

Directional element can be set to be forward toward the protected object

or reverse toward system for all stages

Settable directional element characteristic angle to satisfy the different

network conditions and applications

Each stage can be set individually for inrush restraint

Settable maximum inrush current

VT secondary circuit supervision for directional protection function. Once

VT failure happens, the directional stage can be set to be blocked or to

be non-directional

Zero-sequence current is calculated using summation of 3 phase

currents or measured from 4th phase CT (selectable)

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Time characteristic

The IED is designed with three earth fault protection stages of which two

stages operate as definite earth fault stages and the other one operates with

inverse time-current characteristic. All stages can operate in conjunction with

the integrated inrush restraint and directional functions. This protection

function can operate based on the zero-sequence current which is calculated

by summation of three phase currents or measured from earth phase CT

Furthermore, the stages are independent from each other and can be

combined as desired. They can be enabled or disabled by dedicated binary

setting.

Individual pickup value for each definite stage can be defined in setting value.

By applying the settings, the measured zero sequence current is compared

separately with the setting value for each stage. If zero-sequence current

exceed the associated pickup value, after expiry of the time delay, the trip

command is issued.

The time delay of inverse time characteristic is calculated based on the type

of the set characteristic, the magnitude of the current and a time multiplier.

For the inverse time characteristic, both ANSI and IEC based standard curves

are available, and any user-defined characteristic can be defined using the

following equation:

t = A_EF

i

I_EF

p _EF− 1

+ B_EF K_EF

where:

A_EF: Time factor for inverse time stage

B_EF: Delay time for inverse time stage

P_EF: index for inverse time stage

Page 48: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 4 Earth fault protection

34

K_EF: Time multiplier

The time is set to count up for a user-defined time delay. The time delay can

be set for each definite stage individually through corresponding settings.

After the user-defined time delays elapsed, a trip command is issued.

1.2.2 Inrush restraint feature

The IED may detect large magnetizing inrush currents during transformer

energizing. Inrush current comprises large second harmonic current which

does not appear in short circuit current. Therefore, inrush current may affect

the protection functions which will operate based on the fundamental

component of the measured current. Accordingly, inrush restraint logic is

provided to prevent earth fault protection from maloperation.

The inrush restraint feature operates based on evaluation of the 2nd harmonic

content which is present in measured current. The inrush condition is

recognized when the ratio of second harmonic current to fundamental

component exceeds the corresponding setting value for each phase. The

condition for phase current inrush or zero sequence current inrush can be

selected by binary setting. The setting value is applicable for both definite

time stage and inverse time stage. The inrush restraint feature will be

performed as soon as the ratio exceeds the set threshold.

The inrush restraint function has a maximum inrush current setting. Once the

measuring current exceeds the setting, the earth fault protection will not be

blocked any longer.

1.2.3 Direction determination feature

The integrated directional function can be applied to each stage of earth fault

element via binary setting. There are two direction elements for direction

determination of earth faults. The first is based on zero sequence

components and the second is based on negative sequence components.

During direction determination by directional function (using zero or negative

sequence components), a VT fail condition may result in false or undesired

tripping by directional earth fault element. Therefore, under the VT failure

situation, it can be set to block directional earth fault protection or to apply

non-directional earth fault protection.

The following subsections go on to demonstrate basic principle of these two

direction element.

Page 49: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 4 Earth fault protection

35

1.2.3.1 Zero sequence directional element

In this method, the direction determination is performed by comparing the

zero sequence quantities. In current path, the zero sequence current is

calculated from the sum of the three phase currents or measured from earth

CT. In the voltage path, the zero sequence voltage (3U0) is used as reference

voltage if it is connected. Otherwise, the zero sequence voltage, is calculated

from the sum of the three phase voltages.

In order to satisfy different network conditions and applications, the reference

voltage can be rotated by adjustable angle between 0° and 90° in clockwise

direction (negative sign). It should be noted that the settings affect all the

directional stages of earth fault element. In this way, the vector of rotated

reference voltage can be closely adjusted to the vector of fault current -3I0

which lags the fault voltage 3V0 by the fault angle Φ0_Char. This would

provide the best possible result for the direction determination. The rotated

reference voltage defines the forward and reverse area.

Figure 3 shows an example of direction determination.

1.2.3.2 Negative sequence directional element

This method is particularly suitable in case of too low zero sequence voltage

due to some fault condition e.g. when a considerable zero sequence mutual

coupling exists between parallel lines or there is an unfavorable zero

sequence impedance. In such cases it may be desirable to determine

direction of fault current by using negative sequence components. To do so, it

is required to enable the negative sequence directional element in setting

Page 50: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 4 Earth fault protection

36

value. By applying this setting, the default direction determination of earth

fault current is performed by the zero sequence element. However, when the

magnitude of zero sequence voltage falls below permissible threshold of 1V

and negative sequence voltage is larger than 2V, the negative sequence

element is in service for direction determination. On the contrary, if the

negative sequence directional element is disabled, the direction of earth fault

current is only determined by using the zero sequence element. In this regard,

if the zero sequence voltage has a magnitude larger than 1V, proper

determination of fault direction is performed. However, for the condition that

zero sequence voltages below 1V, no direction determination would be

possible. Thus, the fault is assumed to be in reverse direction. Accordingly, for

the negative sequence element, the direction determination is performed by

comparing the negative sequence system quantities. To do so, three times of

the calculated negative sequence current 3I2 (3I2=IA+a2IB+aIC) is compared

with three times of the calculated negative sequence voltage 3V2

(3V2=VA+a2VB+aVC) as reference voltage, where a is equal to ej120 .

The fault current -3I2 is opposite to the fault current 3I2 and lags from the

voltage 3V2 by the fault angle, which is a setting value defined in setting value.

In order to satisfy different applications, the reference voltage can be rotated

by adjustable angle between 0° and 90° in clockwise direction (negative sign)

to be closely adjusted to the vector of fault current -3I2. This would provide the

best possible result for the direction determination. The rotated reference

voltage defines the forward and reverse area. Figure 4 shows an example of

direction determination.

Three stage tripping logics of earth fault protection are shown as following

figures. As shown, earth fault protection tripping will be affected individually

by inrush and direction criteria for each stage. Whenever the zero sequence

current exceeds the related setting value and other mentioned criteria is

satisfied, corresponding timer will be started and tripping command will be

generated by expiring the setting time.

1 Neutral earth fault protection

1.1 Introduction

The neutral earth fault protection focus on phase to earth faults. The

measuring current is the one from dedicated neutral CT.

The following features are provided:

Two definite time stages

One inverse time stage

11 kinds of the IEC and ANSI inverse time characteristic curves as well

as optional user defined characteristic

Each stage can be set to be directional/non-directional independently

Zero sequence directional element is applied.

Directional element can be set to be forward toward the protected object

or reverse toward system for all stage

Settable directional element characteristic angle to satisfy the different

network conditions and applications

Inrush restraint function can be set for each stage separately

Settable maximum inrush current

VT secondary circuit supervision for directional protection function

Neutral current is measured from dedicated neutral CT

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Time characteristic

The neutral earth fault protection is provided with three stages from which two

stages operate as definite neutral earth fault stages and the other one

operates with inverse time-current characteristic. 11 kinds of inverse time

characteristics are available. It is also possible to create a user defined time

characteristic. Each stage can operate in conjunction with the integrated

inrush restraint and operate based on measured phase current.

Furthermore, each stage is independent from each other and can be

combined as desired. They can be enabled or disabled by dedicated binary

setting.

Page 61: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 5 Neutral earth fault protection

47

Pickup value for the definite stage can be set in setting value. The neutral

current measured from the neutral CT is compared with the corresponding

setting value with delay time. If the neutral current exceeds the associated

pickup value, after expiry of the time delay, the trip command or alarm signal

is issued.

The pickup value for inverse time stage can be set in setting value. The

measured neutral current compare with corresponding setting value and if

any phase exceeds that, the protection will issue a trip command with delay

time.

The time delay of inverse time characteristic is calculated based on the type

of the set characteristic, the magnitude of the current and a time multiplier.

For the inverse time characteristic, both ANSI and IEC based standard curves

are available, and any user-defined characteristic can be defined using the

following equation:

t = A_NOC

i

I_NOC

p _NOC− 1

+ B_NOC K_NOC

Equation 3

where:

A_NOC: Time factor for inverse time stage

B_NOC: Delay time for inverse time stage

P_NOC: index for inverse time stage

K_NOC: Time multiplier

By applying proper setting of the aforementioned parameters, the IED

calculates the tripping or alarming time from the measured current in each

phase separately. Once the calculated time has been elapsed, the trip signal

or alarm signal is issued.

1.2.2 Inrush restraint feature

The protection IED may detect large magnetizing inrush currents during

transformer energizing. In addition to considerable unbalance fundamental

current, inrush current comprises large second harmonic current which does

not appear in short circuit current. Therefore, the inrush current may affect the

protection functions which operate based on the fundamental component of

the measured current. Accordingly, inrush restraint logic is provided to

prevent neutral earth fault protection from maloperation.

Page 62: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 5 Neutral earth fault protection

48

The inrush restraint feature operates based on evaluation of the 2nd harmonic

content which is present in measured current. The inrush condition is

recognized when the ratio of the second harmonic current to the fundamental

component exceeds the corresponding setting value for one phase. The

setting value is applicable for both definite time stage and inverse time stage.

The inrush restraint feature will be performed as soon as the ratio exceeds

the set threshold.

The inrush restraint function has a maximum inrush current setting. Once the

measuring current exceeds the setting, the protection will not be blocked any

longer.

1.2.3 Direction determination

The direction determination is performed by comparing the zero sequence

quantities. In current path, the neutral current is measured from the dedicated

neutral CT. In the voltage path, the calculated or measured zero sequence

voltage (3V0) can be used as reference voltage.

In order to satisfy different network conditions and applications, the reference

voltage can be rotated by adjustable angle between 0° and 90° in clockwise

direction (negative sign). It should be noted that the settings affect all the

directional stages of earth fault element. In this way, the vector of rotated

reference voltage can be closely adjusted to the vector of fault current -3I0

which lags the fault voltage 3V0 by the fault angle Φ0_Char. This would

provide the best possible result for the direction determination. The rotated

reference voltage defines the forward and reverse area.

1 Sensitive earth fault protection

1.1 Introduction

In power networks with high impedance earthing, the phase to earth fault

current is significantly smaller than the short circuit currents. Another difficulty

for earth fault protection is that the magnitude of the phase to earth fault

current is almost independent of the fault location in the network.

Sensitive earth fault protection can be used to detect and give selective trip of

phase to earth faults in isolated or compensated networks. The protection

function also can be applied to detect high impedance earth faults in solidly or

low-resistance earthed networks.

Sensitive earth fault protection integrated in the IED provides following

features:

Two definite time stages

One inverse time stage

11 kinds of IEC and ANSI inverse time characteristic curves as well as

optional user defined characteristic

Sensitive earth fault directional element with U0/I0-Φ principle

Sensitive earth fault directional element with Cos Φ principle

Settable directional element characteristic angle to satisfy the different

network conditions and applications

Each stage can be set to be directional, or non-directional independently

Each stage can be set individually to alarm or trip

Displacement voltage can be checked to increase function reliability

Dedicated sensitive CT

VT secondary circuit supervision for directional protection function

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Time characteristic

The IED is provided with three sensitive earth fault protection stages of which

Page 71: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 6 Sensitive earth fault protection

57

two stages operate as definite sensitive earth fault stages and the other one

operates with inverse time-current characteristic. 11 kinds of inverse time

characteristics are available. It is also possible to create a user defined time

characteristic. Each stage can operate in conjunction with the integrated

directional functions and operate based on measured phase current which is

input from the dedicated sensitive current transformer.

Furthermore, each stage is independent from each other and can be

combined as desired.

Pickup value for the definite stage can be set in setting value. The measured

current from sensitive CT input is compared with the corresponding setting

value with delay time. If the measured current exceeds the associated pickup

value, after expiry of the time delay, the trip command or alarm signal is

issued.

The time delay of inverse time characteristic is calculated based on the type

of the set characteristic, the magnitude of the current and a time multiplier.

For the inverse time characteristic, both ANSI and IEC based standard curves

are available, and any user-defined characteristic can be defined using the

following equation:

t = A_SEF

i

I_SEF

p _SEF− 1

+ B_SEF K_SEF

Equation 4

where:

A_SEF: Time factor for inverse time stage

B_SEF: Delay time for inverse time stage

P_SEF: index for inverse time stage

K_SEF: Time multiplier

By applying proper setting of the aforementioned parameters, the IED

calculates the tripping or alarming time from the measured current in each

phase separately. Once the calculated time has been elapsed, the trip signal

or alarm signal is issued.

1.2.2 Direction determination feature

Page 72: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 6 Sensitive earth fault protection

58

The integrated directional function can be applied to each stage of sensitive

earth fault element via specified binary setting. In order to discriminate

forward or reverse short circuits, the IED provides two methods for sensitive

earth fault direction detection which should be utilized to cover all network

configurations according to the type of grounding. Based on U0/I0-Φ

measurement and based on Cos Φ measurement respectively.

In directional sensitive earth fault protection (using U0/I0-Φ or Cos Φ

elements), the VT failure condition may result in false or undesired tripping or

alarming. In such situation, it is possible to set operation state for each stage

of sensitive earth fault protection which operates in conjunction with direction

feature by binary setting to block the function or operate without direction

detection. When binary setting “Blk SEF at VT Fail” is disabled, corresponding

sensitive earth fault stages would not consider direction in case of VT failure.

On the contrary, if the binary setting “Blk SEF at VT Fail” is enabled, the

function will be blocked when VT failure happens. It is noted that the binary

setting affects all the stages of sensitive earth fault element.

Pay attention to that direction determination based on measured

displacement voltage will not be blocked in case of failure detection in the

three-phase connected to voltage transformer. Similarly, if the direction

determination is based on the calculated displacement voltage, the protection

function will not be blocked as a result of failure detection in U4 voltage

transformer. However, in case of a failure in U4 voltage transformer, the

direction determination based on measured value of displacement voltage will

be blocked depend on the binary setting.

1.2.2.1 U0/I0-Φ measurement

In this method, the direction determination is performed by comparing the

displacement angle between zero sequence system quantities. In current

path, the measured current Is from the sensitive input is applied. In the

voltage path, the displacement voltage VN is used as reference voltage, if it is

connected. Otherwise the IED calculates the zero sequence voltage 3V0 from

the summation of the three phase voltages. The condition for direction

determination with 3V0 quantity is that the magnitude of 3V0 is larger than the

setting value.

Contrary to the directional phase elements, which work with the un-faulted

voltage as reference voltage, for the sensitive earth fault protection, the zero

sequence voltage is used as the reference voltage for direction determination.

Depending on the connection of voltage transformer, the corresponding

reference voltage is VN or 3V0 (3V0=VA+VB+VC).

where:

ФNS_Char: The settable characteristic angle

In order to satisfy different network conditions and applications, the reference

voltage can be rotated by adjustable angle between 0° and 90° in

anticlockwise direction (positive sign). It should be noted that the settings

affect all the directional stages of sensitive earth fault element. In this way, the

vector of rotated reference voltage can be closely adjusted to the vector of

fault current -Is which leads the fault voltage 3V0 by the fault angle. This would

provide the best possible result for the direction determination. The rotated

reference voltage defines the forward area.

1.2.2.2 Cos Φ measurement

Similar to U0/I0-Φ method, the direction determination is performed in cos Φ

method by using the measured current Is from sensitive current input together

with the measured or calculated displacement voltage. In this context, the

measured displacement voltage is used if it is connected. Otherwise the IED

calculates the zero sequence voltage 3V0 from the summation of the three

phase voltages. The condition for direction determination with 3V0 quantity is

that the magnitude of 3V0 is larger than the setting value.

Unlike to U0/I0-Φ method, direction determination is performed in Cos Φ

method by using those component of the residual current which is

perpendicular to the directional characteristic (axis of symmetry). Figure 11

shows how the IED adopts complex vector diagram for direction

determination. As can be seen, displacement voltage 3V0 is the reference

magnitude quantity. The axis of symmetry is defined as a line perpendicular to

this quantity. The sensitive earth fault protection would issue a trip command

or an alarm signal if the active component of Is is in the opposite direction of

the reference voltage and has a magnitude exceeds corresponding setting.

1 Negative sequence overcurrent protection

1.1 Introduction

Negative-sequence overcurrent protection detects unbalanced loads on the

system. It is especially useful to monitor the unbalanced load of motors. This

is due to the fact that unbalanced loads result in counter-rotating fields in

three-phase induction motors, which cause overheating in rotor end zones. In

addition, the protection function may be used to detect interruptions, short

circuits and polarity problems with current transformers. Furthermore, it is

suitable for detecting single-phase and two-phase faults with fault currents

lower than load currents.

The protection provide following features:

Two definite time stages

One inverse time stage

11 kinds of IEC and ANSI inverse time characteristic curves as well as

optional user defined characteristic

The first definite stage and inverse stage can be set individually as alarm

or trip stage

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Protection function description

The IED provides three negative-sequence overcurrent protection stages

from which two stages operate as definite time stages and the other one

operates with inverse time-current characteristic. The negative-sequence

overcurrent protection operates based on negative sequence current

calculated from three phase currents, as the following formula shown:

3I 2 = I A + a2I B + aI C

Equation 5

Page 83: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 7 Negative sequence overcurrent protection

69

Furthermore, each stage is independent from each other and can be

combined as desired.

Individual pickup value for each definite stage can be set in setting value. The

calculated negative sequence current from Equation 5 is compared

separately with the corresponding setting value with delay time. If the

calculated negative-sequence current exceeds the associated pickup value,

after expiry of the time delay, the trip command or alarm signal is issued.

The time delay of inverse time characteristic is calculated based on the type

of the set characteristic, the magnitude of the current and a time multiplier.

For the inverse time characteristic, both ANSI and IEC based standard curves

are available, and any user-defined characteristic can be defined using the

following equation:

t = A_NSOC

i

I_NSOC

p _NSOC− 1

+ B_NSOC K_NSOC

Equation 6

where:

A_NSOC: Time factor for inverse time stage

B_NSOC: Delay time for inverse time stage

P_NSOC: index for inverse time stage

K_NSOC: Time multiplier

By applying proper setting of the aforementioned parameters, the IED

calculates the tripping or alarming time from the measured current in each

phase separately. Once the calculated time has been elapsed, the trip signal

or alarm signal is issued.

1 Thermal overload protection

1.1 Introduction

The thermal overload protection represents an essential requirement to

prevent protected equipment from thermal damaging due to overloads.

Thermal damage mostly affects the insulating material surrounding the phase

current conductors in transformers, cables or any other power equipment. As

a matter of fact, the insulation material ages too rapidly if the equipment

temperature exceeds the design limit value. Thus, a special protection is

needed to prevent over-temperature condition for the protected object. Since

severity of over-temperature condition is directly proportional to current

squared, the thermal protection operates based on the square of measured

current flowing through the protected object. Furthermore, because the

cumulative nature of over-temperature condition, it is necessary to integrate

previous thermal history of equipment in the protection. This is achieved in

the IED by providing a comprehensive thermal replica of the protected object.

In this regard the IED provides an overload protection with memory capability

by taking into account both the previous history of an overload and the heat

loss to the environment.

1.2 Function principle

1.2.1 Function description

The thermal overload protection in the IED is provided with one trip stage as

well as one alarm stage. It is possible to set the alarm stage at a certain

percentage of the setting value applied at the trip stage. The protection

function operates based on an approximate replica of the protected object in

the event of temperature rise caused by overload. The thermal replica is

implemented based on thermal models (Cold or Hot Curve) of IEC60255-8

standard. The temperature rise is calculated separately for each phase in a

thermal replica from the square of the respective phase current. The

maximum calculated temperature rise of the three phases is decisive for

evaluation of the thresholds.

The IED calculates the temperature rise of the protected equipment in each

phase, based on following differential equation:

τ𝑑𝛩

𝑑𝑡 + Θ =

𝐼

𝐼𝜗

Chapter 8 Thermal overload protection

Equation 7

where:

τ: is thermal time constant of heating for the protected object, in seconds. It is usually

determined by manufacturer of the protected object. This parameter can be set in

setting value.

I: is the measured fundamental current flowing through each phase of the protected

object.

Iϑ: is the maximum permissible continuous thermal overload current. It is usually

specified by manufacturer of the protected object. This parameter can be set in

setting value.

Θ: is temperature rise of the protected object in per unit of the final temperature rise

at maximum allowed phase current Iϑ.

According to Equation 7, the tripping time for thermal overload protection is

calculated by the following equation based on Hot Curve in IEC60255-8

standard:

t = τ ln

𝐼𝐼𝜗

− 𝐼𝑃𝐼𝜗

Equation 8

where:

IP: is steady state current previous to the overload.

The IED is capable to calculate tripping time of thermal overload protection

not only based on the Hot Curve, but also based on Cold Curve as defined in

IEC60255-8 standard and equation as following:

t = τ ln

𝐼𝐼𝜗

𝐼𝐼𝜗

Equation 9

From the Equation 8 and Equation 9 can be seen, the cold curve provides

Page 92: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 8 Thermal overload protection

78

no memory regarding to previous thermal condition of the protected object,

whereas, by using the hot curve, the protection function is able to represent a

memorized thermal profile of the protected object. It is possible to set which

curve should be considered for thermal overload protection by binary setting

“Hot Curve/Cold Curve”. If “Hot Curve” is enabled, tripping time of thermal

overload protection would be calculated based on Equation 8. In contrast, if

applying “Cold Curve”, Equation 9 would be used for calculation process. It is

noted that binary setting “Hot Curve/Cold Curve” affects both the alarm and

trip stages.

1 Overvoltage protection

1.1 Introduction

The overvoltage protection detects abnormal network and machine high

voltage conditions. Overvoltage conditions may occur possibly in the power

system during abnormal conditions such as no-load, light load, or open line

end on long line. The protection can be used as open line end detector or as

system voltage supervision normally.

The protection provides following features:

Two definite time stages

Each stage can be set to alarm or trip

Measuring voltage between phase-earth voltage and phase-phase

selectable

Settable dropout ratio

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Phase to phase overvoltage protection

All the three phase voltages are measured continuously, and compared with

the corresponding setting value. If the phase to phase voltage exceeds the

set threshold and after expiry of the time delay, the protection IED will issue

alarm signal or trip command according to the user’s requirement.

There are two stages included in overvoltage protection, each stage can be

set to alarm or trip separately in binary setting, and the time delay for each

stage can be individually set. Thus, the alarming or tripping can be

time-coordinated based on how severe the voltage increase, e.g. in case of

high overvoltage, the trip command will be issued with a short time delay,

whereas for the less severe overvoltage, trip or alarm signal can be issued

with a longer time delay.

1 Undervoltage protection

1.1 Introduction

Undervoltage protection has the function to protect electrical equipment

against undervoltage. It can detect voltage collapses on transmission lines,

power transformer and electrical machines and prevents inadmissible

operation condition and a possible stability problem.

The protection provides following features:

Two definite time stages

Each stage can be set to alarm or trip

Measuring voltage between phase-earth and phase-phase voltage

selectable

Current criteria supervision

Circuit breaker aux. contact supervision

VT secondary circuit supervision, the undervoltage function will be

blocked when VT failure happens

Settable dropout ratio

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Phase to phase underovltage protection

All the three phase voltages are measured continuously, and compared with

the corresponding setting value. If phase to phase voltage falls below the set

threshold and after expiry of the time delay, the protection IED will issue

alarm signal or trip command according to the user’s requirement.

There are two stages included in undervoltage protection, each stage can be

set to alarm or trip separately in binary setting, and the time delay for each

stage can be individually set. Thus, the alarming or tripping can be

time-coordinated based on how severe the voltage collapse, e.g. in case of

severe undervoltage happens, the trip command will be issued with a short

Page 107: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 11 Undervoltage protection

93

time delay, whereas for the less severe undervoltage, trip or alarm signal can

be issued with a longer time delay.

Furthermore, for the undervoltage protection, it is possible to set the IED to

operate either when all the measured phase-to-earth or phase-to-phase

voltages falls below the setting or when at least one of the phase-to-earth or

phase-to-phase voltage falls below the respective setting, which can be set in

binary setting.

1.2.2 Phase to earth undervoltage protection

The phase to earth undervoltage protection operates just like the phase to

phase protection except that it detects phase to earth voltages.

1.2.3 Depending on the VT location

Depending on the application, the voltage transformers are located on the

busbar side or on the line side. This results in a different behaviour of the

undervoltage protection.

Figure 21 VT located at line side

When a tripping command is issued and the circuit breaker is open, full

voltage remains on the source side while the line side voltage drops to zero.

In this case, undervoltage protection may remain pickup which can be solved

in the IED by integrating additional current criterion. With the current criterion,

undervoltage protection can be maintained only when the undervoltage

criterion satisfied and a minimum current are exceeded. The undervoltage

protection would dropout as soon as the current fall below the corresponding

setting. If the voltage transformer is installed on the busbar side and it is not

desired to check the current flow, this criterion can be disabled by binary

setting.

When the VT located at line side, there is another circuit breaker auxiliary

contact supervision criterion for more security. With this feature, the IED

would issue a trip command when the circuit breaker is closed. This criterion

can be enabled or disabled via binary setting. If the voltage transformer is

installed on the line side and it is not desired to supervise the circuit breaker

position for undervoltage protection, the criterion can be disabled in binary

setting.

1 Displacement voltage protection

1.1 Introduction

The displacement voltage protection is able to monitor the displacement

voltage to detect the earth fault in power system. It is usually applied in

non-solidly earthed networks where the earth fault current is limited.

The protection provide following features:

Two definite time stages

Each stage can be set to alarm or trip

3U0 based on calculated summation of 3 phase voltage or measured

injected residual voltage

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Function description

The displacement voltage 3U0 can be either directly measured from VT or

calculated based on connected three phases to earth voltages (3V0= VA+ VB+

VC). In the latter case, the three voltages transformers input must be

connected in an earth-wye configuration.

If the displacement voltage is directly applied to the IED and binary setting

“3U0 Calculated” is disabled, the protection is not affected by VT fail detection

on three-phase connected voltage. Similarly, if the displacement voltage is

calculated based on the three-phase voltages and binary setting “3U0

Calculated” is enabled, it would not be blocked as a result of failure detection

in U4 voltage transformer. However, in case of a failure in U4 voltage

transformer and the displacement voltage protection based on measured

value 3V0 would be blocked.

Two definite time stages are provided by the displacement voltage protection

for detecting earth faults. The provided stages can be set to issue an alarm

signal or a trip command. This can be achieved by binary setting. Generally,

stage 1 is applied to monitor light earth faults and hence is usually used as

the alarm stage. However, stage 2 is applied to detect heavy earth faults and

therefore is set for trip stage.

Page 115: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 12 Displacement voltage protection

101

Individual pickup value for the each definite stage can be set in setting value.

The measured or calculated displacement voltage is compared separately

with the corresponding setting value with delay time. If the displacement

voltage exceeds the associated pickup value, after expiry of the time delay,

the trip command is issued.

1 Circuit breaker failure protection

1.1 Introduction

The circuit breaker failure (CBF) protection function monitors proper tripping

of the relevant circuit breaker. Normally, the circuit breaker should be tripped

and therefore interrupt the fault current whenever a short circuit protection

function issues a trip command. Circuit breaker failure protection provides

rapid back-up fault clearance, in the event of circuit breaker malfunction to

respond to a trip command.

The main features of CBF protection is as following:

Two trip stages (local and surrounding breaker tripping)

Transfer trip command to the remote line end in second stage

Internal/ external initiation

Single/three phase CBF initiation

Selectable CB Aux contacts checking

Current criteria checking (including phase current, zero and negative

sequence current)

1.2 Function Description

Circuit breaker failure protection can be enabled or disabled in the IED by

binary setting. If the CBF protection is enabled, by operation of a protection

function and subsequent CBF initiation by respective protection function or

externally, a programmed timer will run toward a preset time delay limit. This

time delay is set by settings “T_CBF1”. If the circuit breaker has not been

opened after expiration of the preset time limit, the IED issues a command to

trip circuit breaker (e.g. via a second trip coil). If the circuit breaker doesn’t

respond to the repeated trip command, until another preset delay time which

is set to “T_CBF2”, the protection will issue a trip command to isolate the fault

by tripping other surrounding backup circuit breakers (e.g. the other CBs

connected to the same bus section as the faulty CB).

Initiation of CBF protection can be performed by both internal and external

protection functions. If CBF protection is desired to be initiated by means of

external protection functions, specified binary inputs (BI) should be

marshaled. This IED provides 4 binary inputs for externally initiation of

integrated CBF function. One of them is 3-phase CBF initiation and other

three are for phase selective CBF initiation in the case of single phase

tripping when single phase AR is allowed.

There are two criteria for breaker failure detection: the first one is to check

whether the actual current flow effectively disappeared after a tripping

command had been issued. The second one is to evaluate the circuit breaker

auxiliary contact status.

1.2.1 Current criterion evaluation

Since circuit breaker is supposed to be open when current disappears from

the circuit, the first criterion (current monitoring) is the most reliable way for

IED to be informed about proper operation of circuit breaker. Therefore,

current monitoring is applied to detect circuit breaker failure condition. In this

context, the monitored current of each phase is compared with the

pre-defined setting. Furthermore, it is possible to implement current checking

in case of zero-sequence (3I 0 = I A + I B + I C) and negative-sequence

(3I2=IA+a2IB+aIC) currents via binary setting. If the zero-sequence and

negative-sequence current checking are enabled, zero sequence and

negative-sequence current are compared separately with the corresponding

threshold.

1.2.2 Circuit breaker auxiliary contact evaluation

Page 122: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 13 Circuit breaker failure protection

108

For protection functions where the tripping criterion is not dependent on

current, current flow is not a suitable criterion for proper operation of the

breaker. In this case, the position of the circuit breaker auxiliary contact

should be used to determine if the circuit breaker properly operated. It is

possible to evaluate the circuit breaker operation from its auxiliary contact

status. A precondition for evaluating circuit breaker auxiliary contact is that

open status of CB should be marshaled to binary inputs.

1 Dead zone protection

1.1 Introduction

The IED provides this protection function to protect dead zone, namely the

area between circuit breaker and CT in the case that CB is open. Therefore,

by occurrence of a fault in dead zone, the short circuit current is measured by

protection IED while CB auxiliary contacts indicate the CB is open.

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Function description

This protection can be enabled or disabled by dedicated binary setting. If the

protection function is enabled, by operation of a protection function, and

subsequent CBF initiation by respective protection function, a programmed

timer runs toward a preset time delay limit. This time delay is set by user in

setting. If the fault current has not been disappeared after expiration of the

preset time limit even now the circuit breaker has been opened, the dead

zone protection would issue a trip command to isolate the fault by tripping

other surrounding backup circuit breakers (e.g. the other CBs connected to

the same bus section as the faulty CB).

When one bus side CT of feeder or transformer is applied, once a fault occurs

in the dead zone, the IED trips the relevant busbar zone. Tripping logic is

illustrated in Figure 32.

1 STUB protection

1.1 Introduction

The VT is mostly installed at line side of transmission lines. Therefore, for the

cases that transmission line is taken out of service and the line disconnector

is opened, the distance protection will not be able to operate and must be

blocked.

The STUB protection protects the zone between the CTs and the open

disconnector. The STUB protection is enabled when the open position of the

disconnector is connected to IED binary input. The function supports one

definite stage which related concept is shown in Figure 36.

disconnector occurs. The circuit breakers CB1 and CB2 that carry the

short-circuit current can be tripped without delay time.

The STUB protection is an overcurrent protection which is only in service

when the state of the line disconnector indicates the open condition via a

binary input. The binary input must therefore be operated via an auxiliary

contact of the disconnector. In the case of a closed line disconnector, the

STUB protection is out of service. The STUB protection stage provides one

definite time overcurrent stage with settable delay time. This protection

function can be enabled or disabled via the binary setting.

1 Poles discordance protection

1.1 Introdcution

Under steady-state operating condition, all three poles of circuit breaker must

be closed or open at the same time. The phase separated operating circuit

breakers can be in different positions (close-open) due to electrical or

mechanical failures. This can cause negative and zero sequence currents

which gives thermal stress on rotating machines and can cause unwanted

operation of zero sequence or negative sequence current functions.

The pole discordance function operates based on information from auxiliary

contacts of the circuit breaker for the three phases with additional criteria from

unsymmetrical phase current.

1.2 Protection principle

1.2.1 Function description

The CB position signals are connected to IED via binary input in order to

monitor the CB state. Poles discordance condition is established when at

least one pole is closed and at the same time not all three poles are closed.

Additionally, the current criteria are processed. Pole discordance can be

detected when current is not flowing through all three poles, i.e. through only

one or two poles. When current is flowing through all three poles, all three

poles must be closed even if the breaker auxiliary contacts indicate a different

status.

1 Synchro-check and energizing check function

1.1 Introduction

The synchronism and voltage check function ensures that the stability of the

network is not endangered when switching a line onto a busbar. The voltage

of the feeder to be energized is compared to that of the busbar to check

conformances in terms of magnitude, phase angle and frequency within

certain tolerances.

The synchro-check function checks whether the voltages on both sides of the

circuit breaker are synchronizing, or at least one side is dead to ensure

closing can be done safely.

When comparing the two voltages, the synchro check uses the voltages from

busbar and outgoing feeder. If the voltage transformers for the protective

functions are connected to the outgoing feeder side, the reference voltage

has to be connected to a busbar voltage.

If the voltage transformers for the protective functions are connected to the

busbar side, the reference voltage has to be connected to a feeder voltage.

Note:

For synchro-check function properly operating, the reference voltage

(single phase voltage) must be phase to earth voltage.

The voltage phase for synchro-ckeck and energizing check can be

identified automatically by protection IED and not need be set.

1.2 Function principle

1.2.1 Synchro-check mode

The voltage difference, frequency difference and phase angle difference

values are measured in the IED and are available for the synchro-check

function for evaluation.

By any synchronization request, the synchronization conditions will be

Page 153: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 17 Synchro-check and energizing check function

139

checked continuously. If the line voltages and busbar voltages are larger than

the value of “Umin_Syn” and meet the synchronization conditions,

synchronized reclosing can be performed.

At the end of the dead time, synchronization request will be initiated and the

synchronization conditions are continuously checked to be met for a certain

time during maximal extended time “T_MaxSynExt”. By satisfying

synch-check condition in this period, the monitor timer will stop and close

command will be issued for AR.

Before releasing a close command at synchronization conditions, all of the

following conditions should be satisfied:

All three phases voltage U(a,b,c) should be above the setting value

“Umin_Syn”.

The reference voltage should be above the setting value “Umin_Syn”.

The voltage difference should be within the permissible deviation “U_Syn

Diff”

The angle difference should be within the permissible deviation

“Angle_Syn Diff”

The frequency difference should be within the permissible deviation

“Freq_Syn Diff”

1.2.2 Energizing check mode

In this mode of operation, the low voltage (dead) condition is checked

continuously whenever synchronization check is requested. If the line

voltages are less than “Umax_Energ”, reclosing can be performed. If the line

voltages and busbar voltages are all larger than “Umin_Syn”, the check mode

will automatically turn to full synchronization check mode.

In auto-recloser procedure, synchronization check request is triggered at the

end of the dead time. If the low voltage conditions are continuously met for a

certain numbers and during maximum extended time “T_MaxSynExt”, the

monitor timer will stop and close command will be issued for AR.

Before releasing a close command in low voltage conditions, one of the

following conditions need to be checked according to requirement:

Chapter 18 Auto-reclosing function

146

1 Auto- reclosing

1.1 Introduction

For restoration of the normal service after a fault, an auto-reclosing attempt is

mostly made for overhead lines. Experiences show that about 85% of faults

are transient and can disappear when an auto-reclosing attempt is performed.

This means that the line can be connected again; the reconnection is

accomplished after a dead time via the automatic reclosing system. If the fault

still exists after auto-reclosing, for example, arc has not been cleared, the

protection will re-trip the circuit breaker (hereinafter is referred as CB).

Auto-reclosing is only permitted on overhead lines because a short circuit arc

can be extinguished only in overhead lines and not cable feeders. Main

features of the auto-reclosing function (hereinafter is referred as AR) are as

following:

4 shots auto-reclosing (selectable)

Individually settable dead time for three phase and single phase fault and

for each zone

External AR initiation

Single/three phase AR operation

CB ready supervision

CB Aux. interrogation

Cooperation with internal synch-check function for reclosing command

Applicable for one and a half breaker arrangement

1.2 Function principle

The AR is able to cooperate with single-pole operated CB as well as

three-pole operated CB. The function provides up to 4 auto-reclosing shots

that can be determined by setting, “Times_AR”. Moreover, since the time

required for extinguishing short circuit arc is different for single or three phase

faults, the different dead time settings, “T_1P ARn” and “T_3P ARn” ( n

represents 1, 2, 3, or 4), AR have been provided to set single-pole tripping

dead time and three-pole tripping dead time of each shot separately.

1.2.1 Single-shot reclosing

Page 161: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 18 Auto-reclosing function

147

When an external trip command initiates AR function, the reclosing program

is being executed. Dead time will be started by falling edge of the external

initiation signal. When dead time interval “T_1P AR1” or “T_3P AR1” has

elapsed, monitoring time “T_MaxSynExt” is started. During this period,

whenever synchronization condition is continuously met for “T_Syn Check”, a

closing pulse signal is issued. At the same time, reclaim time “T_Reclaim” is

started. If a new fault occurs before the reclaim time elapses, AR function is

blocked and cause final tripping of CB. However, if no fault occurs in reclaim

time, AR is reset and therefore will be ready for future reclosing attempts.

The typical tripping-reclosing procedure of single shot reclosing scheme, is

illustrated in time sequence diagrams,

, and is described as following:

1) After trip command issued, CB will be opened in a short time.

2) The auto-reclosing is initiated when the current is cleared.

3) After the auto-reclosing delay time, T_1P AR1 (or T_3P AR1), elapses,

the reclosing command is issued if all reclosing conditions (e.g. synchro-

-check for 3-pole tripping) are satisfied without any blocking reclosing

input.

4) The AR pulse lasts for “T_Action”.

5) At the moment that the closing signal is issued, reclaim timer “T_Reclaim”

is started. By the end of this period, “T_Reclaim”, If there is not fault

happening, auto-reclosing operation is successful and then the report,

“AR Success”, is issued.

6) From the end of reclaim time, auto-reclosing function is blocked for the

AR reset time “T AR reset”.

7) If another fault occurs after the time, T_AR Reset, elapses, the auto-

-reclosing is ready now, and then a new tripping-reclosing procedure is

started and performed in same way.

1.2.2 Multi-shot reclosing

The first reclosing shot is, in principle, the same as the single-shot

auto-reclosing. If the first reclosing is unsuccessful, it doesn’t result in a final

trip, if multi-shot reclosing is set to be performed. In this case, if a fault occurs

during reclaim time of the first reclosing shot, it would result in the start of the

next reclose shot with dead time “T_1pAR1”, “T_1p AR2”, ”T_1p AR3”, “T_1p

AR4”, “T_3P AR2”, “T_3P AR3” or “T_3P AR4”. This procedure can be

repeated until the whole reclosing shots which are set inside the device is

performed. Different dead times can be set to various shots of AR function.

This can be performed through settings “T_1pAR1”, “T_1p AR2”, ”T_1p AR3”,

“T_1p AR4”, “T_3p AR1”, “T_3p AR2”, “T_3p AR3”, “T_3p AR4”. However, if

none of reclosing shots is successful, i.e. the fault doesn’t disappear after the

last programmed shot, a final trip is issued, and reclosing attempts are

announced to be unsuccessful.

The typical tripping-reclosing procedure of two shots reclosing scheme, is

illustrated in time sequence diagrams,

, and is described as following:

1) After trip command issued, CB will be opened in a short time.

2) The auto-reclosing is initiated when the current is cleared.

Page 163: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 18 Auto-reclosing function

149

3) After the auto-reclosing delay time, T_1P AR1 (or T_3P AR1), elapses,

the reclosing command is issued if all reclosing conditions (e.g. synchro-

-check for 3-pole tripping) are satisfied without any blocking reclosing

input.

4) The AR pulse lasts for “T_Action”.

5) At the moment that the closing signal is issued, reclaim timer “T_Reclaim”

is started.

6) If the circuit breaker is closed on a fault during the period between the

dropout of closing command and the end of T_Reclaim, second tripping-

-reclosing procedure for second shot is started and performed like the

first tripping-reclosing procedure.

7) In this way, following shots will be performed in sequence if applied.

8) If none of the reclosing is successful, in other words, the fault is still

remained after the last shot reclosing, the final trip takes place, and the

result is “AR Fail” and AR should be blocked for AR reset time.

9) If one of the preset reclosing shots is successful, meaning that, by the

end of this period, “T_Reclaim”, there is not fault happening again, the

report, “AR Success”, is issued.

10) From the end of reclaim time, auto-reclosing function is blocked for the

AR reset time “T AR Reset”.

11) If another fault occurs after the time, T_AR Reset, elapses, the auto-

-reclosing is ready now, and then a new multi shots tripping-reclosing

procedure is started and performed in same way.

1.2.3 AR coordination between tie CB and side CB

When the AR function for side breaker is initiated, the protection IED will

issue the signal [WaitToSlave] to block the AR function for tie breaker. If the

AR for side breaker is successful, the signal [WaitToSlave] will dropout, and

the tie breaker will be reclosed immediately. If the AR for side breaker fails,

the AR for side breaker will send the signal “AR_Fail” and the signal

[WaitToSlave] will be kept during the time of the “T_AR Reset”. If the AR for

tie breaker receives the signal “AR_Fail” or the signal [WaitToSlave]

continuously for [T_WaitMaster], the AR for tie breaker will be blocked.

The following figure illustrates the key connection between AR for side CB

(CB 1 in figure) and tie CB (CB 3 in figure) for AR coordination.

Figure 42 Connection of AR for tie CB blocked by AR for side CB

The typical tripping-reclosing procedure of single shot reclosing scheme for

coordination between side CB and tie CB of 3/2 breaker arrangement, is

illustrated in following two time sequence diagrams, and are described as

following:

The first diagram shows that:

1) After trip command issued, side CB and tie CB are opened in a short

time.

2) The auto-reclosing for side CB and for tie CB are initiated when the fault

current is cleared.

3) At the moment of side CB initiation, the binary output, “AR_Wait to Slave”,

is transmitted to AR for tie CB as the binary input, “AR_Wait”. As soon as

the BI is received, the timer, T_WaitMater” of AR for tie CB is started.

4) The AR for tie CB can wait only and cannot issue the reclosing command,

until the binary input, “AR_Wait” dropout before the timer, T_WaitMater”

of AR for tie CB elapses, even if the timer, T_1P AR1 (or T_3P AR1) of

AR for tie CB has elapsed.

5) After the auto-reclosing delay time, T_1P AR1 (or T_3P AR1) of AR for

Page 166: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 18 Auto-reclosing function

152

side CB, elapses, the reclosing command is issued if all reclosing

conditions (e.g. synchro- -check for 3-pole tripping) are satisfied without

any blocking reclosing input. The side CB is reclosed.

6) At the moment that the closing signal for side CB is issued, reclaim timer

“T_Reclaim” of AR for side CB is started.

7) By the end of the period, “T_Reclaim”, if there is not fault happening,

auto-reclosing operation of side CB is successful. At the end of

“T_Reclaim”, the binary output, “AR_Wait to Slave”, of AR for side CB, is

dropped out. It means that, the binary input, “AR_Wait” of AR for tie CB is

dropped out.

8) The AR for tie CB will do synchronization check or voltage check

according the setting, as soon as the BI, “AR_Wait” of AR for tie CB is

dropped out.

9) If the auto-reclosing delay time, T_1P AR1 (or T_3P AR1) of AR for side

CB, has elapsed, the reclosing command is issued at once if all reclosing

conditions (e.g. synchro- -check for 3-pole tripping) are satisfied without

any blocking reclosing input. The tie CB is reclosed.

The second diagram shows that:

1) After trip command issued, side CB and tie CB are opened in a short

time.

2) The auto-reclosing for side CB and for tie CB are initiated when the fault

current is cleared.

3) At the moment of side CB initiation, the binary output, “AR_Wait to Slave”,

is transmitted to AR for tie CB as the binary input, “AR_Wait”. As soon as

the BI is received, the timer, T_WaitMater” of AR for tie CB is started.

4) The AR for tie CB can wait only and cannot issue the reclosing command,

until the binary input, “AR_Wait” dropout before the timer, T_WaitMater”

of AR for tie CB elapses, even if the timer, T_1P AR1 (or T_3P AR1) of

AR for tie CB has elapsed.

5) After the auto-reclosing delay time, T_1P AR1 (or T_3P AR1) of AR for

side CB, elapses, the reclosing command is issued if all reclosing

conditions (e.g. synchro- -check for 3-pole tripping) are satisfied without

any blocking reclosing input. The side CB is reclosed.

6) At the moment that the closing signal for side CB is issued, reclaim timer

“T_Reclaim” of AR for side CB is started.

7) During the reclaim timer “T_Reclaim” of AR for side CB, if the side CB is

reclosed on a permanent fault, the protection IED will trip the CB

instantaneously. At same time, the binary output, “AR Failure” is

transmitted to AR for tie CB as the binary input, “MC/AR Block”.

8) The AR for tie CB is blocked. The tie CB will keep open.

1.2.4 Auto-reclosing operation mode

For the IED, whether single-pole tripping operation or three-pole tripping

operation and whether AR is active or not is determined by following binary

settings and related binary inputs.

The relevant binary settings are described as following,

“AR_1p mode”

In this mode of operation, auto-reclosing function will be initiated by

single phase tripping condition as well as using the external single pole

binary input initiation. If the three-phase AR initiation binary input, 3Ph

Init AR, is active, the closing function will be blocked.

“AR_3p mode”

In this mode of operation, auto-reclosing function only operates for

three pole closing.

“AR_1p(3p) mode”

In this mode of operation, auto-reclosing function operates for both

single pole tripping as well as three pole tripping.

“AR_Disable”

By setting this binary setting to “1”, auto-reclosing function will be off or

out of service.

Note: If any illegal setting has been done, “AR FUNC Alarm” is

reported.

“Relay Trip 3pole”

When AR is disabled, by setting this binary setting to “0”, IED perform s

single- pole tripping at single phase fault and perform three-pole

tripping at multi-phase fault. Setting this binary setting to “1” will result in

three-pole tripping at any faults.

“AR Final Trip”

By setting this binary setting to “1”, auto-reclosing function generates

a three pole trip command for an unsuccessful single pole reclosing.

In the “AR_1P mode”, after a single pole tripping, if auto- -reclosing

function is blocked suddenly during the dead time of a 1-pole reclosing

cycle, the circuit breaker will be kept in poles discordance state. To

avoiding this state, by binary setting “AR Final Trip” at 1, the IED will

issue a 3-pole trip command to open the rest of circuit breaker poles.

This binary setting is always used in the situation without pole

157

discordance protection applied.

1.2.5 Auto-reclosing initiation

AR can be initiated by external functions via four binary inputs:

PhA Init AR

External phase A tripping output initiates AR

PhB Init AR

External phase B tripping output initiates AR

PhC Init AR

External phase C tripping output initiates AR

3Ph Init AR

External three-phase tripping output initiates AR

1.2.6 Cooperating with external protection IED

The AR can cooperate with external protection IED. The AR can be initiated

or blocked by external protection IED via dedicated binary inputs.

Figure 45 shows the typical connect between AR binary inputs and external

protection IED binary outputs.

1.2.7 Auto-reclosing logic

Some important points regarded to auto-reclosing logic are described as

Page 172: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 18 Auto-reclosing function

158

following:

In the case of blocking of auto-reclosing via “MC/AR block”, blocking will

be started by rising edge of “MC/AR block” and will be extended by

AR_Reset Time after falling edge of this binary input.

In the case of three phase reclosing with sychro-check requesting, dead

time can last for “T_3P AR” + “T_MaxSynExt” at most, from the

auto-reclosing initiation input end. In this condition, IED starts to check

synchronization conditions at the end of “T_3P AR”. Before the end of

period, “T_MaxSynExt”, if the synchronization conditions are

continuously met for the time,“T_Syn Check” at least, the close command

will be issued. After the end of period, “T_MaxSynExt”, if synchronization

conditions are still not continuously met, the report, “AR Failure”, will be

issued and the auto-reclosing function will be blocked for time, “T_AR

Reset”. The logic is illustrated in flowing time sequence diagram

To prevent automatic reclosing during feeder dead status (CB Open), for

example, in the IED testing, AR is initiated at first shot only when the CB

has been closed for more than setting time, “T_AR Reset”.

1.2.8 AR blocked conditions

If binary input “AR Off” is present, auto-reclosing function will be out of

service

Whenever the binary input “MC/AR Block” is received, auto-reclosing

function will be blocked for setting “T_AR Reset”.

Whenever circuit breaker abnormal condition is detected, auto-reclosing

function will be blocked.

In order to avoid auto-reclosing in the case of CB faulty, for example, CB

spring charge faulty, a binary input, “CB Faulty”, is considered to receive

CB ready status. Therefore, after synchronization check condition meets,

the input “CB Faulty”will be checked. If it doesn’t disappear before time

period “T_CB Faulty” finishing, auto-reclosing will be blocked for “T_AR

Reset”.

1 Current circuit supervision

1.1 Function description

Open or short circuited current transformer cores can cause unwanted

operation of many protection functions such as, earth fault current and

negative sequence current functions.

It must be remembered that a blocking of protection functions at an occurring

open CT circuit will mean that the situation will remain and extremely high

voltages will stress the secondary circuit.

To prevent IED from wrong trip, interruptions in the secondary circuits of

current transformers is detected and reported by the device. When the

zero-sequence current is always larger than the setting value of “3I0_CT Fail”

for 12s, “CT Fail” will be reported and each zone of zero-sequence current

protection will be blocked.

2 Fuse failure supervision

2.1 Introduction

In the event of a measured voltage failure due to a broken conductor or a

short circuit fault in the secondary circuit of voltage transformer, those

protection functions which are based on voltage criteria may be mistakenly

considered as a voltage of zero. VT failure supervision function is provided to

inform those functions about a voltage failure. VT supervision can be used to

monitor the voltage transformer circuit, single-phase VT failures, two-phase or

three-phase VT failures. Its main features are as:

Symmetrical/Asymmetrical VT fail detection

3-phase AC voltage MCB monitoring

1-phase AC voltage MCB monitoring

Applicable in solid, compensated or isolated networks

2.2 Function principle

VT failure supervision function can be enabled or disabled through binary

setting “VT Fail”. By applying setting “1” to the binary setting, VT failure

supervision function would monitor the voltage transformer circuit. As

mentioned, the function is able to detect single-phase broken, two-phase

broken or three-phase broken faults in secondary circuit of voltage

transformer, if a three-phase connection is applied.

There are three main criteria for VT failure detection; the first is dedicated to

detect three-phase broken faults. The second and third ones are to detect

single or two-phase broken faults in solid earthed and isolated/resistance

earthed systems, respectively. A precondition to meet these three criteria is

that IED should not be picked up and the calculated zero sequence and

negative sequence currents should be less than setting of “3I02_ VT Fail”.

The criteria are as follows:

2.2.1 Three phases (symmetrical) VT Fail

The calculated zero sequence voltage 3U0 as well as maximum of three

phase-to-earth voltages is less than the setting of “Upe_VT Fail” and at the

same time, maximum of three phase currents is higher than setting of “I_ VT

Page 186: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 19 Secondary system supervision

172

Fail”. This condition may correspond to three phase broken fault in secondary

circuit of the voltage transformer if no startup element has been detected.

2.2.2 Single/two phases (asymmetrical) VT Fail

The calculated zero sequence voltage 3U0 is more than the setting of

“Upe_VT Fail”. This condition may correspond to single or two-phase broken

fault in secondary circuit of the voltage transformer, if the system starpoint is

solidly earthed and no startup element has been detected.

The calculated zero sequence voltage 3U0 is more than the setting of

“Upe_VT Fail”, and at the same time, the difference between the maximum

and minimum phase-to-phase voltages is more than the setting of “Upp_VT

Fail”. This condition may correspond to single or two-phase broken fault in

secondary circuit of the voltage transformer, if the system starpoint is isolated

or resistance earthed and no startup element has been detected.

In addition to the mentioned conditions, IED has the capability to be informed

about the VT MCB failure through its binary inputs “V3p MCB Fail” and “V1p

MCB Fail”. In this context, VT fail is detected, if the respective digital input is

active.

2.2.3 Logic diagram

If VT failure supervision detects a failure in voltage transformer secondary

circuit, either by means of the above mentioned criteria or reception of a VT

MCB fail indication, all the protection functions, which are based on direction

component or low voltage criteria, will be blocked. Furthermore, Alarm report

“VT fail” is issued after 10s delay time. The blocking condition would be

removed if one of the following conditions is met within the 10 sec delay time

(previous to Alarm “VT fail”).

Without IED pickup, minimum phase voltage becomes more than setting of

“Upe_VT Normal” for 500ms.

Without IED pickup, minimum phase voltage becomes more than setting of

“Upe_VT Normal” and at the same time, the calculated zero sequence and

negative sequence current of corresponding side becomes more than the

setting of “3I02_ VT Fail”.

Subsequent to VT fail alarm, the blocking condition of respective protection

functions would be removed if without IED pickup, the minimum phase

voltage becomes more than the setting of “Upe_VT Normal” for a duration

1 Synchro-check reference voltage supervision

If the automatic reclosing is set for synchronization check or energizing check,

during the automatic reclosing period, the synchronization condition of the

voltages between both sides of CB cannot be met, an alarm will be issued

after default time delay.

2 Check auxiliary contact of circuit breaker

Current flowing through the transmission line and connected CB aux.

contacts are monitored in phase segregated. Therefore, the conflict condition

is reported as alarm. For example, If CB aux. contacts indicate that CB is

open in phase A and at the same time flowing current is measured in this

phase, related alarm is reported

1 Overview

Each IED is provided with a communication interface, enabling it to connect to

one or many substation level systems or equipment.

Following communication protocols are available:

IEC 61850-8-1 communication protocol

60870-5-103 communication protocol

The IED is able to connect to one or more substation level systems or

equipments simultaneously, through the communication ports with

communication protocols supported.

1.1 Protocol

1.1.1 IEC61850-8 communication protocol

IEC 61850-8-1 allows two or more intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) from

one or several vendors to exchange information and to use it in the

performance of their functions and for correct co-operation.

GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event), which is a part of IEC

61850-8-1 standard, allows the IEDs to communicate state and control

information amongst themselves, using a publish-subscribe mechanism. That

is, upon detecting an event, the IED(s) use a multi-cast transmission to notify

those devices that have registered to receive the data. An IED can, by

publishing a GOOSE message, report its status. It can also request a control

action to be directed at any device in the network.

1.1.2 IEC60870-5-103 communication protocol

The IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol is mainly used when a

protection IED communicates with a third party control or monitoring system.

This system must have software that can interpret the IEC 60870-5-103

communication messages.

The IEC 60870-5-103 is an unbalanced (master-slave) protocol for coded-bit

serial communication exchanging information with a control system. In IEC

terminology a primary station is a master and a secondary station is a slave.

Page 194: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 21 Station communication

180

The communication is based on a point-to-point principle. The master must

have software that can interpret the IEC 60870-5-103 communication

messages. For detailed information about IEC 60870-5-103, refer to the

“IEC60870 standard” part 5: “Transmission protocols”, and to the section 103:

“Companion standard for the informative interface of protection equipment”.

1.2 Communication port

1.2.1 Front communication port

There is a serial RS232 port on the front plate of all the IEDs. Through this

port, the IED can be connected to the personal computer for setting, testing,

and configuration using the dedicated Sifang software tool.

1.2.2 RS485 communication ports

Up to 2 isolated electrical RS485 communication ports are provided to

connect with substation automation system. These two ports can work in

parallel for IEC60870-5-103.

1.2.3 Ethernet communication ports

Up to 3 electrical or optical Ethernet communication ports are provided to

connect with substation automation system. These two out of three ports can

work in parallel for protocol, IEC61850 or IEC60870-5-103.

1.5 Typical time synchronizing scheme

All IEDs feature a permanently integrated electrical time synchronization port.

It can be used to feed timing telegrams in IRIG-B or pulse format into the

IEDs via time synchronization receivers. The IED can adapt the second or

minute pulse in the pulse mode automatically.

Meanwhile, SNTP network time synchronization can be applied.

Figure 54 illustrates the optional time synchronization modes.

5 CT requirement

5.1 Overview

In practice, the conventional magnetic- core current transformer (hereinafter

as referred CT) is not able to transform the current signal accurately in whole

fault period of all possible faults because of manufactured cost and

installation space limited. CT Saturation will cause distortion of the current

signal and can result in a failure to operate or cause unwanted operations of

some functions. Although more and more protection IEDs have been

designed to permit CT saturation with maintained correct operation, the

performance of protection IED is still depended on the correct selection of CT.

5.2 Current transformer classification

The conventional CTs are usually manufactured in accordance with the

standard, IEC 60044, ANSI / IEEE C57.13, ANSI / IEEE C37.110 or other

comparable standards, which CTs are specified in different protection class.

Currently, the CT for protection are classified according to functional

performance as follows:

Class P CT

Accuracy limit defined by composite error with steady symmetric primary

current. No limit for remanent flux.

Class PR CT

CT with limited remanence factor for which, in some cased, a value of the

secondary loop time constant and/or a limiting value of the winding resistance

may also be specified.

Class PX CT

Low leakage reactance for which knowledge of the transformer secondary

excitation characteristic, secondary winding resistance, secondary burden

resistance and turns ratio is sufficient to assess its performance in relation to

the protective relay system with which it is to be used.

Class TPS CT

Low leakage flux current transient transformer for which performance is

defined by the secondary excitation characteristics and turns ratio error limits.

No limit for remanent flux

Class TPX CT

Page 276: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 23 Appendix

262

Accuracy limit defined by peak instantaneous error during specified transient

duty cycle. No limit for remanent flux.

Class TPY CT

Accuracy limit defined by peak instantaneous error during specified transient

duty cycle. Remanent flux not to exceed 10% of the saturation flux..

Class TPZ CT

Accuracy limit defined by peak instantaneous alternating current component

error during single energization with maximum d.c. offset at specified

secondary loop time constant. No requirements for d.c. component error limit.

Remanent flux to be practically negligible.

TPE class CT (TPE represents transient protection and electronic type

CT)

5.4 General current transformer requirements

5.4.1 Protective checking current

The current error of CT should be within the accuracy limit required at

specified fault current.

To verify the CT accuracy performance, Ipcf, primary protective checking

current, should be chose properly and carefully.

For different protections, Ipcf is the selected fault current in proper fault

position of the corresponding fault, which will flow through the verified CT.

To guarantee the reliability of protection relay, Ipcf should be the maximum

fault current at internal fault. E.g. maximum primary three phase short-circuit

fault current or single phase earth fault current depended on system

sequence impedance, in different positions.

Moreover, to guarantee the security of protection relay, Ipcf should be the

maximum fault current at external fault.

Last but not least, Ipcf calculation should be based on the future possible

system power capacity

Kpcf, protective checking factor, is always used to verified the CT

performance

𝐾𝑝𝑐𝑓 =𝐼𝑝𝑐𝑓

𝐼𝑝𝑛

To reduce the influence of transient state, Kalf, Accuracy limit factor of CT,

should be larger than the following requirement

𝐾𝑎𝑙𝑓 >𝐾𝑠 × 𝐾𝑝𝑐𝑓 𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑅𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑑 + 𝑍𝑏𝑛

𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑅𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑑 + 𝑍𝑏

Ks, Specified transient factor, should be decided based on actual operation

state and operation experiences by user.

Chapter 23 Appendix

264

𝐾𝑠 =𝐾𝑎𝑙𝑓

𝐾𝑝𝑐𝑓

5.4.2 CT class

The selected CT should guarantee that the error is within the required

accuracy limit at steady symmetric short circuit current. The influence of short

circuit current DC component and remanence should be considered, based

on extent of system transient influence, protection function characteristic,

consequence of transient saturation and actual operating experience. To fulfill

the requirement on a specified time to saturation, the rated equivalent

secondary e.m.f of CTs must higher than the required maximum equivalent

secondary e.m.f that is calculated based on actual application.

For the CTs applied to transmission line protection, transformer differential

protection with 330kV voltage level and above, and 300MW and above

generator-transformer set differential protection, the power system time

constant is so large that the CT is easy to saturate severely due to system

transient state. To prevent the CT from saturation at actual duty cycle, TP

class CT is preferred.

For TPS class CT, Eal (rated equivalent secondary limiting e.m.f) is generally

determined as follows:

𝐸𝑎𝑙 = 𝐾𝑠 × 𝐾𝑠𝑠𝑐 × 𝐼𝑠𝑛 × (𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑍𝑏𝑛)

Where

Ks: Specified transient factor

Kssc: Rated symmetrical short-circuit current factor

For TPX, TPY and TPZ class CT, Eal (rated equivalent secondary limiting

e.m.f) is generally determined as follows:

𝐸𝑎𝑙 = 𝐾𝑡𝑑 × 𝐾𝑠𝑠𝑐 × 𝐼𝑠𝑛 × (𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑍𝑏𝑛)

For the CTs applied to 110 - 220kV voltage level transmission line protection,

110 - 220kV voltage level transformer differential protection, 100-200MW

generator-transformer set differential protection, and large capacity motor

differential protection, the influence of system transient state to CT is so less

that the CT selection is based on system steady fault state mainly, and leave

proper margin to tolerate the negative effect of possible transient state.

Therefore, P, PR, PX class CT can be always applied.

For P class and PR class CT, Esl (the rated secondary limited e.m.f) is

generally determined as follows:

𝐸𝑠𝑙 = 𝐾𝑎𝑙𝑓 × 𝐼𝑠𝑛 × (𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑍𝑏𝑛)

Kalf: Accuracy limit factor

For PX class CT, Ek (rated knee point e.m.f) is generally determined as

follows:

𝐸𝑘 = 𝐾𝑥 × 𝐼𝑠𝑛 × (𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑍𝑏𝑛)

Kx: Demensioning factor

For the CTs applied to protection for110kV voltage level and below system,

the CT should be selected based on system steady fault state condition. P

class CT is always applied.

5.4.3 Accuracy class

The CT accuracy class should guarantee that the protection relay applied is

able to operate correctly even at a very sensitive setting, e.g. for a sensitive

residual overcurrent protection. Generally, the current transformer should

have an accuracy class, which have an current error at rated primary current,

that is less than ±1% (e.g. class 5P).

If current transformers with less accuracy are used it is advisable to check the

actual unwanted residual current during the commissioning.

5.4.4 Ratio of CT

Page 280: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 23 Appendix

266

The current transformer ratio is mainly selected based on power system data

like e.g. maximum load. However, it should be verified that the current to the

protection is higher than the minimum operating value for all faults that are to

be detected with the selected CT ratio. The minimum operating current is

different for different functions and settable normally. So each function should

be checked separately.

5.4.5 Rated secondary current

There are 2 standard rated secondary currents, 1A or 5A. Generally, 1 A

should be preferred, particularly in HV and EHV stations, to reduce the

burden of the CT secondary circuit. Because 5A rated CTs, i.e. I2R is 25x

compared to only 1x for a 1A CT. However, in some cases to reduce the CT

secondary circuit open voltage, 5A can be applied.

5.4.6 Secondary burden

Too high flux will result in CT saturation. The secondary e.m.f is directly

proportional to linked flux. To feed rated secondary current, CT need to

generate enough secondary e.m.f to feed the secondary burden.

Consequently, Higher secondary burden, need Higher secondary e.m.f, and

then closer to saturation. So the actual secondary burden R’b must be less

than the rated secondary burden Rb of applied CT, presented

Rb > R’b

The CT actual secondary burden R’b consists of wiring loop resistance Rlead

and the actual relay burdens Zb in whole secondary circuit, which is

calculated by following equation

R’b = Rlead + Zb

The rated relay burden, Zbn, is calculated as below:

𝑍𝑏𝑛 =𝑆𝑟

𝐼𝑠𝑛2

Where

Sr: the burden of IED current input channel per phase, in VA;

For earth faults, the loop includes both phase and neutral wire, normally twice

the resistance of the single secondary wire. For three-phase faults the neutral

current is zero and it is just necessary to consider the resistance up to the

point where the phase wires are connected to the common neutral wire. The

most common practice is to use four wires secondary cables so it normally is

sufficient to consider just a single secondary wire for the three-phase case.

Page 281: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 23 Appendix

267

In isolated or high impedance earthed systems the phase-to-earth fault is not

the considered dimensioning case and therefore the resistance of the single

secondary wire always can be used in the calculation, for this case.

5.5 Rated equivalent secondary e.m.f requirements

To guarantee correct operation, the current transformers (CTs) must be able

to correctly reproduce the current for a minimum time before the CT will

begin to saturate.

5.5.1 Line differential protection

The protection is designed to accept CTs with same characteristic but

different CT ratios between two terminals of feeder. The difference of ratio

should not be more than 4 times.

Because the operating characteristic of the line differential protection is based

on the calculation of fundamental component of current, the CT saturation will

result in too much error of the calculation of differential current and reduce the

security of the protection. The CT applied should meet following requirement.

For 330kV and above transmission line protection, TPY CT is preferred. To

guarantee the accuracy, Kssc should be satisfied following requirement:

𝐾𝑠𝑠𝑐 > 𝑀𝐴𝑋 𝐾 ′𝑠𝑠𝑐, 𝐾"𝑠𝑠𝑐, 20

Where

𝐾 ′𝑠𝑠𝑐 =𝐼′𝑝𝑐𝑓

𝐾"𝑠𝑠𝑐 =𝐼"𝑝𝑐𝑓

𝐼𝑝𝑛

I’pcf: Maximum primary fundamental frequency fault current at internal faults

(A)

I”pcf: Maximum primary fundamental frequency fault current at external

Considering auto-reclosing operation, Eal should meet the following

requirement, at C-O-C-O duty cycle

Where

K’td: Recommended transient dimensioning factor for verification, 1.2.

recommended

Page 282: CSC-121 Breaker Protection IED Technical Application Manual_V1.01

Chapter 23 Appendix

268

To 220kV transmission line protection, Class 5P20 CT is preferred. Because

the system time constant is less relatively, and then DC component is less,

the probability of CT saturation due to through fault current at external fault is

reduced more and more.

Esl can be verified as below:

𝐸𝑠𝑙 > 𝐸𝑠 = 𝐾𝑠 × 𝐾𝑝𝑐𝑓 × 𝐼𝑠𝑛 × 𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑅′𝑏

Where

Ks: Specified transient factor, 2 recommended

Only at special case, e.g. short output feeder of large power plant, the PX

class CT is recommended. Ek should be verified based on below equation.

𝐸𝑘 > 𝐸𝑠 = 𝐾𝑠 × 𝐾𝑝𝑐𝑓 × 𝐼𝑠𝑛 × 𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑅′𝑏

Where

Ks: Specified transient factor, 2 recommended

5.5.2 Transformer differential protection

It is recommended that the CT of each side could be same class and with

same characteristic to guarantee the protection sensitivity.

For the CTs applied to 330kV voltage level and above step-down transformer,

TPY class CT is preferred for each side.

For the CTs of high voltage side and middle voltage side, Eal should be

verified at external fault C-O-C-O duty cycle.

For the CT of low voltage side in delta connection, Eal should be verified at

external three phase short circuit fault C-O duty cycle.

Eal must meet the requirement based on following equations:

𝐸𝑎𝑙 > 𝐾′𝑡𝑑 × 𝐾𝑠𝑠𝑐 × 𝐼𝑠𝑛 × (𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑅′𝑏)

Where

K’td: Recommended transient dimensioning factor for verification, 3

recommended

For 220kV voltage level and below transformer differential protection, P Class,

PR class and PX class is able to be used. Because the system time constant

is less relatively, and then DC component is less, the probability of CT

saturation due to through fault current at external fault is reduced more and

more.

For P Class, PR class CT, Esl can be verified as below:

269

𝐸𝑠𝑙 > 𝐸𝑠 = 𝐾𝑠 × 𝐾𝑝𝑐𝑓 × 𝐼𝑠𝑛 × 𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑅′𝑏

For PX class CT, Ek can be verified as below:

𝐸𝑘 > 𝐸𝑠 = 𝐾𝑠 × 𝐾𝑝𝑐𝑓 × 𝐼𝑠𝑛 × 𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑅′𝑏

Where

Ks: Specified transient factor, 2 recommended

5.5.3 Busbar differential protection

The busbar differential protection is able to detect CT saturation in extremely

short time and then block protection at external fault. The protection can

discriminate the internal or external fault in 2-3 ms before CT saturation. So

the currents from different class CT of different feeders are permitted to inject

into the protection relay. The rated secondary e.m.f of CTs is verified by

maximum symmetric short circuit current at external fault.

For P Class, PR class CT,

5.5.4 Distance protection

For 330kV and above transmission line protection, TPY CT is preferred. To

Where

𝐾 ′𝑠𝑠𝑐 =𝐼′𝑝𝑐𝑓
