When using multiple frequency bands, the lower limit of the previous band becomes the upper limit for the next band,i.e., Low Band #2 is the upper limit for Band #3, and so forth. Frequency bands must be used in sequential order, 1 to6. Band #1 must be enabled to use Bands #2–#6. If any band is disabled, all following bands are disabled.

When frequency is within an enabled band limit, accumulation time starts (there is an internal ten cycle delay prior toaccumulation) and allows the underfrequency blade resonance to be established to avoid unnecessary accumulationof time. When duration is greater than set delay, the alarm asserts and a target log entry is made.

The pickup accuracy applies to 60 Hz models at a range of 57 to 63 Hz, and 50 Hz models at a range of 47 to 53 Hz.Beyond these ranges, the accuracy is 0.1 Hz.

The Breaker Monitor feature calculates an estimate of the per-phase wear on the breaker contacts by measuring andintegrating the current (or current squared) through the breaker contacts as an arc.

The per-phase values are added to an accumulated total for each phase, and then compared to a user-programmedthreshold value. When the threshold is exceeded in any phase, the relay can set a programmable output contact.

The accumulated value for each phase can be displayed.

The Breaker Monitoring feature requires an initiating contact to begin accumulation, and the accumulation beginsafter the set time delay.

Trip Circuit Monitoring


The AUX input is provided for monitoring the integrity of the trip circuit. This input can be used for nominal tripcoil voltages of 24 V dc, 48 V dc, 125 V dc and 250 V dc.

Multiple Setpoint Profiles (Groups)The relay supports four setpoint profiles. This feature allows multiple setpoint profiles to be defined for differentpower system configurations or generator operating modes. Profiles can be switched either manually usingthe Human-Machine Interface (HMI), by communications, programmable logic or by control/status inputs.

NOTE: During profile switching, relay operation is disabled for approximately 1 second.

MeteringThe relay provides metering of voltages (phase, neutral and sequence quantities), currents (phase, neutraland sequence quantities), real power, reactive power, power factor and impedance measurements.

Metering accuracies are:

Voltage: 0.5 V or 0.5%, whichever is greater0.8 V or 0.75%, whichever is greater (when both RMS and Line-Ground to Line-Line are

selected)

Current: 5 A rating, 0.1 A or 3%, whichever is greater1 A rating, 0.02 A or 3%, whichever is greater

Power: 0.01 PU or 2% of VA applied, whichever is greater

Frequency: 0.02 Hz (from 57 to 63 Hz for 60 Hz models; from 47 to 53 Hz for 50 Hz models)0.1 Hz beyond 63 Hz for 60 Hz models, and beyond 53 Hz for 50 Hz models

Volts/Hz: 1%

Oscillographic RecorderThe oscillographic recorder provides comprehensive data recording of all monitored waveforms, storing up to416 cycles of data. The total record length is user-configurable from 1 to 16 partitions. The sampling rate is 16times the power system nominal frequency (50 or 60 Hz). The recorder may be triggered using either thedesignated control/status inputs, trip outputs, or using serial communications. When untriggered, the recordercontinuously stores waveform data, thereby keeping the most recent data in memory. When triggered, therecorder stores pre-trigger data, then continues to store data in memory for a user-defined, post-trigger delayperiod. The data records can be stored in either Beckwith Electric format or COMTRADE format.

Target StorageInformation associated with the last 32 trips is stored. The information includes the function(s) operated, thefunctions picked up, input/output status, time stamp, and phase and neutral currents at the time of trip.

Sequence of Events LogThe Sequence of Events Log records relay element status, I/O status, measured values and calculated valuestime stamped with 1 ms resolution at user-defined events. The Sequence of Events Log includes 512 of themost recently recorded relay events. The events and the associated data is available for viewing utilizing theM-3820D IPScom Communications Software.

CalculationsCurrent and Voltage RMS Values: Uses Discrete Fourier Transform algorithm on sampled voltage and currentsignals to extract fundamental frequency phasors for relay calculations. RMS calculation for the 50, 51N, 59and 27 functions, and the 24 function are obtained using the time domain approach to obtain accuracy over awide frequency band. When the RMS option is selected, the magnitude calculation for 59 and 27 functions isaccurate over a wide frequency range (10 to 80 Hz). When the DFT option is selected, the magnitudecalculation is accurate near nominal frequency (50 Hz/60 Hz) but will degrade outside the nominal frequency.For 50 and 51N functions the DFT is used when the frequency is 55 Hz to 65 Hz for 60 Hz (nominal) and 45 Hzto 55Hz for 50 Hz (nominal), outside of this range RMS calculation is used.

Power Input OptionsNominal 110/120/230/240 V ac, 50/60 Hz, or nominal 110/125/220/250 V dc. Operates properly from 85 V acto 265 V ac and from 80 V dc to 312.5 V dc. Withstands 300 V ac or 315 V dc for 1 second. Nominal burden 40VA at 120 V ac/125 V dc.

Nominal 24/48 V dc, operates properly from 18 V dc to 56 V dc, withstands 65 V dc for 1 second. Burden 25 VAat 24 V dc and 30 VA at 48 V dc.

An optional redundant power supply is available for units that are purchased without the expanded I/O.

For those units purchased with the expanded I/O, the unit includes two power supplies which are required topower the relay. Burden (nominal) 46 VA @120 V ac.

Sensing InputsFive Voltage Inputs: Rated for a nominal voltage of 50 V ac to 140 V ac at 60 Hz or 50 Hz. Will withstand 240 Vcontinuous voltage and 360 V for 10 seconds. Source voltages may be line-to-ground or line-to-line connected.Phase sequence ABC or ACB is software selectable. Voltage transformer burden less than 0.2 VA at 120 V ac.

at 1 A.

Control/Status InputsThe control/status inputs, INPUT1 through INPUT6, can be programmed to block any relay protective function,to trigger the oscillograph recorder, to operate one or more outputs or can be an input into IPSlogic. To providebreaker status LED indication on the front panel, the INPUT1 control/status input contact must be connected tothe 52b breaker status contact.

The optional expanded I/O includes an additional 8 programmable control/status inputs (INPUT7 throughINPUT14).

CAUTION: The control/status inputs should be connected to dry contacts only, and are internally connected(wetted) with a 24 V dc power supply.

Output ContactsAny of the functions can be individually programmed to activate any one or more of the eight programmableoutput contacts OUTPUT1 through OUTPUT8. Any output contact can also be selected as pulsed or latched.IPSlogic can also be used to activate an output contact.

The optional expanded I/O includes an additional 15 programmable output contacts (OUTPUT9 throughOUTPUT23). These contacts are configurable only using IPScom software.

The eight output contacts (six form ‘a’ and two form ‘c’), the power supply alarm output contact (form ‘b’), theself-test alarm output contact (form ‘c’) and the optional 15 expanded I/O output contacts (form 'a') are all ratedper ANSI/IEEE C37.90-1989 for tripping.

NOTES:1. The above circuit measures insulation resistance (R

f) between rotor field winding and ground (64F).

2. Relay injects 15 V squarewave (Vout

) and measures return signal (Vf) to calculate R

f.

3. The injection frequency can be set (0.1 to 1.0 Hz) based on the rotor capacitance, in order toimprove accuracy.

4. The signal rise time is analyzed to determine if shaft brushes are lifting or open (64B).

5. May also be applied on generators with brushless excitation with a grounding brush and pilotground fault detection brush.

64S 100% Stator Ground Protection by Low Frequency Signal InjectionNOTE: The Stator Ground Protection function (64S) must be selected when the M-3425A is initially

ordered.

The 100% stator ground fault protection is provided by injecting an external 20 Hz signal into the neutral of thegenerator. The protection is provided when the machine is on-line as well as off-line (provided that the 20 Hzgenerator and relay are powered on.) This scheme requires the following external components in addition toM-3425A protection system:

• 20 Hz Signal-generator (BECO Surface/Flush Mount Part No. 430-00426) (Siemens 7XT33). For220 V ac supply applications an M-0331 2:1 150 VA Control Transformer is available (BECO Part No.410-00318).

• Band-pass filter (BECO Surface/Flush Mount Part No. 430-00427) (Siemens 7XT34)• 20 Hz Measuring Current Transformer, 400/5 A CT (BECO Part No. 430-00428)

(ITI-CTW3-60-T50-401)The voltage signal generated by the 20 Hz signal-generator is injected into the secondary of the generatorneutral grounding transformer through a band-pass filter. The band-pass filter passes the 20 Hz signal andrejects out-of-band signals. The output of the 20 Hz band-pass filter is connected to the V

N input of the

M-3425A relay through a suitable voltage divider, that limits the M-3425A to OOOOO 200 V ac (the voltage generatormay be bypassed if the expected 50/60 Hz voltage during a phase-to-ground fault of the generator is OOOOO 200 V.)The 20Hz current is also connected to the I

N input of the M-3425A, through the 20Hz current transformer.

When the generator is operating normally (no ground fault) only a small amount of 20 Hz current will flow as aresult of the stator capacitance to ground. When a ground fault occurs anywhere on the generator statorwindings the 20 Hz current will increase. The 64S function will issue a trip signal after a set time delay when themeasured 20 Hz current exceeds the pickup current.

For cases where the Load Resistor (RN) is small, the Undervoltage Inhibit should not be enabled, as thevoltage will be small.

The 59N function (90 to 95%) should also be used in conjunction with 64S protection to provide backup.

1.2 M-3425A GeneratorProtection Relay

The M-3425A Generator Protection Relay is amicroprocessor-based unit that uses digital signalprocessing technology to provide up to thirty-fourprotective relaying functions for generator protection.The relay can protect a generator from internal windingfaults, system faults, and other abnormal conditions.

The available internal functions of the relay arelisted in Table 1-1. The nomenclature follows thestandards of ANSI/IEEE Std. C37.2, StandardElectric Power Systems Device Function Numbers.

The control/status inputs can be programmed toblock any relay function and/or to trigger theoscillograph recorder. Any of the functions or thecontrol/status inputs can be individually programmedto activate any one or more of the programmableoutputs, each with a contact.

With the optional M-3931 HMI Module, all functionscan be set or examined using a local, menu-driven,2 line by 24 character alphanumeric display. OUT9–23 and IN 7–14 for units purchased with expandedI/O can only be set utilizing M-3820D IPScom®

Communications Software. The module allows localmetering of various quantities, including phase,neutral, and sequence voltages and currents, realand reactive power, power factor, and positivesequence impedance measurements.

The relay stores time-tagged target information forthe thirty-two most recent trips. For units equippedwith the optional M-3925A Target Module, LEDs areused to provide a detailed visual indication offunction operation for the most recent event.

The unit retains up to 472 cycles of oscillographwaveform data. This data can be downloaded andanalyzed using the M-3801D IPSplot® PLUSOscillograph Analysis Software.

The unit is powered from a wide input range switchmode power supply. An optional redundant powersupply is available for units without the ExpandedI/O. When expanded I/O option is selected, the unitincludes the second power supply.

The relay includes self-test, auto calibration, anddiagnostic capabilities, in addition to IRIG-B time-sync capability for accurate time-tagging of events.

Table 1-1 M-3425A Device Functions

Communication PortsThere are three physical communication portsprovided on the M-3425A. If the optional RJ45Ethernet port is purchased, then the relay includesfour physical communication ports:

• COM1, located on the relay front panel, isa standard 9-pin RS-232 DTE-configuredport. COM1 is used to locally set andinterrogate the relay using a portablecomputer.

• COM2, located on the rear of the relay, isa standard 9-pin RS-232 DTE-configuredport. When the optional RJ45 EthernetPort is enabled, COM2 port is disabled forcommunications. The demodulatedIRIG-B may still be used via the COM2Port when ethernet is enabled.

The RJ45 Ethernet port uses a 10Base-Ttype connection that accepts an RJ45connector using CAT5 twisted pair cable.The Ethernet port can support MODBUSover TCP/IP and BECO2200 over TCP/IPor IEC 61850. The IP address can beobtained automatically when using theDHCP protocol if enabled, or a static IPaddress can be manually entered, usingthe HMI.

• COM3, located on the rear terminal blockof the relay, is an RS-485 communicationsport.

The relay may be remotely set and interrogatedutilizing either a hard-wired RS-232 serial connectionor modem (COM2 when activated as RS-232, orCOM3), or when purchased, the ethernet connection(RJ45 activated).

M-3820D IPScom® Communications SoftwareIPScom is shipped standard with every relay. Thissoftware runs on a PC-compatible computer operatingunder Microsoft Windows® 98 or later. When properlyconnected using either a direct serial connection,modem or ethernet network connection. IPScomcan provide the following functions:

• Setpoint interrogation and modification

• Line status real-time monitoring

• Recorded oscillograph data downloading

Chapter Two is designed for the person or groupresponsible for the application of the M-3425AGenerator Protection Relay. It includes functionaland connection diagrams for a typical application ofthe relay; and describes the configuration processfor the unit (enabling functions), output contactassignment and input blocking designation. It alsoillustrates the definition of system quantities andequipment characteristics required by the protectiverelay, and describes the individual function settings.


2–2

2.1 Configuration

Configuration of the relay consists of enabling thefunctions for use in a particular application,designating the output contacts each function willoperate, and which control/status inputs will blockthe function. The choices include eight programmableoutput contacts (OUT1–OUT8) and six control/statusinputs (IN1–IN6), or OUT9–23 and IN7–14 for unitspurchased with expanded I/O, plus a block choicefor fuse loss logic operation (see Section 2.3,Setpoint and Time Settings, 60FL Fuse Losssubsection for details).

The blocking control/status inputs and output contactassignments must be chosen before entering thesettings for the individual functions. Both may berecorded on the Relay Configuration Table inAppendix A, Configuration Record Forms.

Control/status input IN1 is preassigned to be the52b breaker status contact. If a multiple breakerscheme is used, the control/status input IN1 mustbe the series combination of the “52b” breakercontacts. Additional user-chosen control/statusinputs may initiate actions such as breaker failure,initiate external fuse loss detection, or trigger theoscillograph recorder.

The relay allows the user to designate up to sixlogic functions which perform similarly to internalrelay functions, using IPSlogicTM. These externalfunctions may be enabled or disabled, and outputcontacts and blocking control/status inputs arechosen the same as for the internal functions. Theexternal functions are described in further detail inSection 2.3, Setpoint and Time Settings, IPSlogicsubsection.

NOTE: Uppercase text indicates selection.

This menu designation is required for each relay function. Afterenabling the function, the user is presented with the two followingscreens:

This submenu item assigns the blocking designations (up to six, plusfuse-loss logic) for the enabled function. “OR” logic is used if more thanone input is selected.

This submenu item assigns the output contacts (up to eight) for theparticular relay function. If no output contacts are assigned, the functionwill not generate any output or targets even though the function is enabled.

NOTE: Units with expanded I/O can only set OUT9–OUT23 and IN7–IN14 using IPScom®.

Application – 2

2–3

ProfilesUp to four setpoint profiles may be used. Eachprofile contains a complete set of functionconfiguration and settings. One of the four profilesmay be designated as the Active Profile, which willcontain the settings that the relay will actively use.

The Active Profile may be chosen manually or bycontact input. When the profile Switching Method isset to Manual, the HMI, remote communications orone of the IPSlogic elements will select the ActiveProfile. When the Switching Method is set to InputContact, the profile is selected by the input contacts.When Input Contact is selected, only the inputcontacts can switch the relay’s profile, and none ofthe Manual methods will switch the profile.

A Copy Profile feature is available. This featurecopies an image of the Active Profile to any one ofthe other three profiles. This feature can speed upthe configuration process. Consider, for example, asituation where a breaker will be removed fromservice. Two profiles will be used: an “In Service”profile (Profile 1), and an “Out of Service” profile(Profile 2).

Profile 2 will be identical to the “In Service” profile,with the exception of the overcurrent settings.

Profile 1 is set to be the Active Profile, and allsetpoints entered. An image of Profile 1 will then becopied to Profile 2 with the Copy Active Profilecommand. Profile 2 is then selected as the ActiveProfile, and the overcurrent setpoints modified.

CAUTION: During profile switching, relay operationis disabled for approximately 1 second.

FunctionsConfiguration of the relay consists of enabling thefunctions for use in a particular application,designating the output contacts each function willoperate, and which control/status inputs will blockthe function. The choices include eight programmableoutput contacts (OUT1–OUT8) and six control/statusinputs (IN1–IN6)/(OUT1–OUT23 and IN1–IN14 forexpanded I/O units) plus a block choice for fuseloss logic operation (see Section 2.3, Setpoint andTime Settings, 60FL Fuse Loss subsection fordetails.)

Control/status inputs may also initiate actions, suchas Breaker Failure Initiate, Trigger OscillographRecorder, Switch Setpoint Profile, or initiate anIPSlogic function. The control/status inputs andoutput contacts need to be chosen before configuringthe individual functions. Both can be recorded onthe Relay Configuration Table in Appendix A, Forms.

Special ConsiderationsControl/status input IN1 is preassigned to be the52b breaker contact. IN5 and IN6 may be used toselect setpoint profiles.

Outputs 1–6 and 9–23 are form “a” contacts (normallyopen), and outputs 7 and 8 are form “c” contacts(center tapped “a” and “b” normally closed) contacts.Output contacts 1–4 contain special circuitry forhigh-speed operation and pick up 4 ms faster thanoutputs 5–8. Function 87 outputs are recommendedto be directed to OUT1 through OUT4 contacts.

Relay System SetupThe system setup consists of defining all pertinentinformation regarding the system quantities. Setupscreens shown here may be accessed through theSYSTEM SETUP menu. Regardless of the functionsthat are enabled or disabled, all System Setupvalues are required to be input. Several functionsrequire proper setting of these values for correctoperation. The Nominal Voltage and Nominal Currentsettings are needed for proper normalization of perunit quantities. CT and VT ratios are used only inmonitoring and displaying system primary quantities.

Indicates VT connection. (See Figure 2-7, Three-Line ConnectionDiagram.) When line-ground voltages are used, functions 24, 27, and59 may operate for line-ground faults. If this is not desired, the line-gnd-to-line-line selection should be used to prevent operation of thesefunctions for line-ground faults.When line-gnd-to-line-line is selected,the relay internally calculates line-line voltages from line-ground voltagesfor all voltage-sensitive functions. This line-gnd-to-line-line selectionshould be used only for a VT line-to-ground nominal secondary voltageof 69V (not for 120 V). For this selection, the nominal voltage settingentered should be line-line nominal voltage, which is S3 times line-groundnominal voltage, and voltage function pickup setpoints calculationshould be made using line-to-line voltage.

When the generator is connected through a Delta-Y (delta ab or deltaac) unit transformer, the relay will internally consider the 30° phaseshift for 51V and 21 functions.It defines the connection of the Deltawindings of the Delta /Y transformer. If the polarity of the A windingis connected to the non-polarity of the C winding, it is defined asDelta-AC and if the polarity of the A winding is connected to the non-polarity of the B winding, then it is defined as Delta-AB. In the ABCphase rotation, delta lags Y by 30 degrees in Delta-AC and deltaleads Y by 30 degrees in Delta-AB.

This screen allows the user to select the phase rotation of theM-3425A to match the generator.

This screen allows the selection of RMS or DFT for the 59 and 27 functions.The magnitude can be selected as the RMS of the total waveform (includingharmonics) or the RMS of the 60/50 Hz fundamental component of thewaveform using the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). When the RMSoption is selected, the magnitude calculation is accurate over a wide frequencyrange (10 to 80 Hz) and the accuracy of the time delay is +20 cycles.When the DFT option is selected, the magnitude calculation is accuratenear 50 or 60 Hz and the timer accuracy is K1 cycle. When a wider frequencyresponse is needed, select RMS. For generator protection applications, itis recommended to use the RMS selection. RMS is the default whenshipped from the factory. For 59 function when positive sequence voltageis selected, the calculation uses DFT irrespective of DFT/RMS selection.

NOTE: If neither pulsed or latched output is enabled, then the outputcontact will default to the Normal Mode. Normal Mode maintains theoutput contact energized as long as the condition that caused it tooperate exists. After the actuating condition is cleared, the contactwill reset after the programmed seal-in time has elapsed.

If the 50DT function is to be used for split-phase differential protection,this selection should be enabled. If the 50DT function is to be usedas a definite time overcurrent function, or if 50DT is not enabled, thisselection should be disabled.

If pulse relay operation is selected, output will dropout after the seal-in delay expires, even if the condition which caused the relay to pickup is still out of band. When selected, latching outputs are notavailable.*

If any of the outputs are selected as latched, then after tripping, thisoutput will stay activated, even when the tripping condition is removed.The Latched Output can be reset using the TARGET RESETpushbutton. When selected, Pulse Relay is not available. *

Minimum time the output contact will remain picked up to ensureproper seal-in, regardless of the subsequent state of the initiatingfunction. Individual Seal-In settings are available for all outputs.*

This designates the “active” state for the individual status input.Programming uppercase (see I6) causes the “active” or “operated”condition to be initiated by the external contact opening. Otherwise,external contact closure will activate the input.*

* NOTE: Settings for expanded I/O must be made through IPScom®.

If Zone 1 is not set to see the transmission system,out-of-step blocking is not recommended.

When Zone 3 is used for Out-of-step blocking, theout of step delay is used for the detection of thetransit time of the swing between Zone 3 and Zone2 impedances.

The load encroachment blinder function can be setwith a reach and an angle as shown in Figure 2-13.When enabled, this feature will block the 21 Functionfrom misoperating during high load conditions.

When the generator is connected to the system througha delta/wye transformer, proper voltages and currents(equivalent to the high side of the transformer) must beused in order for the relay to see correct impedancesfor system faults. By enabling the Delta-Y Transformfeature (see Section 2.1, Configuration, Relay SystemSetup), the relay can internally consider the 30° phaseshift (30° lead delta-ab or 30° lag delta-ac) through thedelta/wye transformer, saving auxiliary VTs. Impedancecalculations for various VT connections are shown inTable 2-2. All impedance settings are secondary relayquantities and can be derived from the following formula:

Z SEC

= ZPRI

x (RC ÷ R

V)

where ZSEC = secondary reflected impedance, ZPRI =primary impedance, R

C = current transformer ratio,

and RV = voltage transformer ratio.

The minimum current sensitivity depends on theprogrammed reach (diameter and offset). If thecurrent is below the minimum sensitivity current,the impedance calculated will saturate, and not beaccurate. This will not cause any relay misoperation.

An overcurrent supervision feature can be enabled,which will block the 21 function when all threephase currents are below the pickup value.

2.3 Setpoints and Time Settings

The individual protective functions, along with theirmagnitude and timing settings are described in thefollowing pages. Settings for disabled functions donot apply. Some menu and setting screens do notappear for functions that are disabled or notpurchased. Menu screens are as they would appearon units equipped with the M-3931 HMI Module.The same setting may be entered using M-3820DIPScom Communications Software.

For those units equipped with Expanded I/O, settingof Expanded Inputs and Outputs is accomplishedby selecting “Expanded I/O” from the individualfunction screen. IPScom® will display the ExpandedI/O Initiate dialog screen (Figure 2-11).

21 Phase DistanceThe Phase Distance function (21) is designed forsystem phase fault backup protection and isimplemented as a three-zone mho characteristic.

Three separate distance elements are used to detectAB, BC, and CA fault types. The ranges andincrements are shown in Figure 2-14. The diameter,offset, system impedance angle (relay characteristicangle), and definite time delay need to be selectedfor each zone for coordination with the systemrelaying in the specific application.

Zone 1, Zone 2 and Zone 3 may be used for backupprotection for unit transformer and transmissionfaults. Zone 3 in conjunction with Zone 2 can beused to detect an Out of Step condition and it canbe programmed to block Function 21 #1 and/or 21#2. If Zone 3 is being used for out-of-step blocking,it does not trip.

Typically the first zone of protection is set to an impedance valueenough in excess of the first external protective section (typicallythe unit transformer) to assure operation for faults within thatprotective zone. See Figure 2-12, Phase Distance (21) Coverage.

A negative or positive offset can be specified to offset the mhocircle from the origin. This offset is usually set at zero. See Figure2-13, Phase Distance (21) Function Applied For System Backup.

The impedance angle should be set as closely as possible to theactual impedance angle of the zone being protected.

When enabled the 21 Function is blocked when the impedancefalls within the zone but above the R Reach and below the LoadEncroachment angle.

NOTE: The 21 #2 and #3 zone settings can be set for an additionalexternal section of protection on the system (typically transmissionZone 1 distance relays) plus adequate overreach. #2 and #3 screensare identical to those in #1. Element #3 also includes out-of-steptime delay when out-of-step blocking is enabled for Zone #1 and/orZone #2.

When enabled, the overcurrent supervision blocks the 21 Func-tion when all three phase currents are below the pickup.

When enabled the 21 Function is blocked on the detection of anout-of-step condition.

The time delays are set to coordinate with the primary protectionof those overreached zones and, when applicable, with the breakerfailure schemes associated with those protective zones.

24 Overexcitation Volts/HzThe Volts-Per-Hertz function (24) providesoverexcitation protection for the generator and unit-connected transformers. This function incorporatestwo definite time elements which can be used torealize traditional two-step overexcitation protection.In addition, the relay includes an inverse timeelement that provides superior protection by closelyapproximating the combined generator/unittransformer overexcitation curve. Industry standardinverse time curves may be selected along with alinear reset rate which may be programmed tomatch specific machine cooling characteristics. Thepercent pickup is based on the Nominal Voltagesetting and the nominal frequency. The V/Hz functionprovides reliable measurements of V/Hz up to 200%for a frequency range of 2–80 Hz. The ranges andincrements are presented in Figure 2-16.

Setting this relay function involves determining thedesired protection levels and operating times. Thefirst step is to plot the combined generator andassociated unit transformer overexcitation capabilitylimits. This data is typically available from themanufacturer and should be plotted on the samevoltage base. Depending on the resultingcharacteristic, one of the four families of inversetime curves (as shown in Appendix D, InverseTime Curves) can be matched to provide theprotection. The two definite time elements can beused to further shape the protection curve or providean alarm.

Figure 2-15 illustrates a composite graph of generatorand transformer limits, a chosen inverse time curveand pickup, and a definite time pickup and delay.

The appropriate curve in the family is designated by the associated“K” value of the curve.

The value entered here should be the time needed for the unit tocool to normal operating temperature if the V/Hz excursion timewas just under the trip time.

Application – 2

2–19

M-3425A Firmware Versions D-0114VXX.XX.XXand Earlier

NOTE: When the inverse time element isenabled, the definite time element #1must be enabled which will providedefinite minimum time setting for theinverse time curve.

The following steps must be followed when settingthe inverse time element and definite time element#1:

1. The pickup of the inverse time elementmust be less than the pickup of thedefinite time element #1

2. The operating time of the inverse timeelement at the definite time element #1pickup should be greater than the definitetime element #1 time delay setting(A2>A1 in Figure 2-15).

3. When the inverse time element isenabled, definite time element #1 shouldnot be used for alarm. Only definite timeelement #2 can be used for alarm.

After any V/Hz excursion, cooling time must alsobe taken into account. If the unit should again besubjected to high V/Hz before it has cooled tonormal operating levels, damage could be causedbefore the V/Hz trip point is reached. For thisreason, a linear reset characteristic, adjustable totake into account the cooling rate of the unit, isprovided. If a subsequent V/Hz excursion occursbefore the reset characteristic has timed out, thetime delay will pick up from the equivalent point (asa %) on the curve. The Reset Rate setting enteredshould be time needed for the unit to cool to normaloperating temperature if the V/Hz excursion timewas just under the trip point.

25 Sync CheckNOTE: The 25 function cannot be enabled under

any one of the following conditions:• 67N (Residual Directional Overcurrent)

is enabled and the polarizing quantityhas been set to V

X.

• 59D is enabled and the line side voltageis set to V

X.

• 59X is connected for turn-to-turn faultprotection or bus ground protection.

The Synchronism (Sync) Check function (25) isused to ensure that the voltage magnitude, phaseangle and frequency of the generator (V1) and theutility system (V

X) are within acceptable limits before

the generator is synchronized with the system.Generator voltage (V1) can be selected as A, B, orC (line-to-ground and line-ground to line-line) or AB,BC, or CA (line-to-line).

The sync check function includes phase angle,delta frequency, and delta voltage checks.

Phase Angle CheckThe phase angle is considered acceptable when theselected sync phase voltage (V1) and systemvoltage (V

X) are within the Upper Volt Limit and

Lower Volt Limit window and the measured phaseangle is within the phase angle window.

Phase Angle Limit is defined as twice the PhaseAngle Limit setting. For example, if the PhaseAngle Limit is set at 10 degrees, a phase anglewindow of 20 degrees exists between –10 degreesand +10 degrees. The logic diagram of the phaseangle check is shown in Figure 2-17.

Delta Voltage and Delta Frequency CheckDelta Voltage and Delta Frequency elements maybe individually enabled or disabled, as desired. TheDelta Voltage check will compare the absolutedifference between the selected sync phase voltage(V1) and the measured system voltage (VX) with theDelta Voltage Limit setting. Likewise, the DeltaFrequency measures the frequency differencebetween V1 and V

X voltage signals. The Phase

Angle Check, Delta Voltage and Delta FrequencyCheck all combine through an appropriate timer withthe output directed to the programmed 25S outputcontact. A logic diagram representing this logic ispresented in Figure 2-17.

Dead Line/Dead Bus CheckThe Dead Volt Limit defines the Hot/Dead voltagelevel used in Deadline/Dead Bus closing schemes.When the measured V

X voltage is equal to or below

the Dead Volt Limit, VX is considered dead. When

the measured VX is above the Dead Volt Limit, V

X is

considered hot. The opposite side of the breakeruses the positive sequence voltage measurement(V1) for 3-phase consideration in determining hot/dead detection. Different combinations of hot line/dead bus closings may be selected, depending onhow the buses are referenced. A logic diagram ofthe Deadline/Dead Bus scheme is presented inFigure 2-17.

The Dead V1, Dead VX, and Dead V1 & V

X enable

are software switches used to enable the dead line/dead bus logic. Further conditioning can be performedon the dead detection logic by selecting one ormore input contacts (Dead Input Enable) to controlthe enabled dead detection element. For example,if INPUT2 (I2) is selected under the Dead InputEnable screen, and both the Dead V1 and Dead V

Xelements are enabled, the dead check timer willstart when INPUT2 is activated, and either V1dead/V

X hot or V1 hot/V

X dead. This allows for

external control of the desired dead closing scheme.Dead Input Enable selections are common to alldead detection elements. If no inputs are selectedunder the Dead Input Enable screen, and any deadelement is enabled, the dead check timer will startimmediately when the dead condition exists.

The 25S and 25D can be programmed to be sent totwo different contacts, if desired.

NOTE: The 25 function does not produce a targetor LED and is accompanied by the HMImessage “F25 Function Operated”.

27 Phase UndervoltageThe Phase Undervoltage function (27) may be usedto detect any condition causing long- or short-termundervoltage. This is a true three-phase function inthat each phase has an independent timing element.The ranges and increments are presented in Figure2-19.

Magnitude measurement depends on the 59/27Magnitude Select setting. (See Section 2.1,Configuration, Relay System Setup.) When the RMScalculation is selected, the magnitude calculation isaccurate over a wide frequency range (10 to 80 Hz)and the accuracy of the time delay is +20 cycles. IfDFT calculation is selected, the magnitudecalculation is accurate near 50 or 60 Hz, and thetimer accuracy is K1 cycle.

27TN Third Harmonic Undervoltage, NeutralFor ground faults near the stator neutral, the ThirdHarmonic (180/150 Hz) Neutral undervoltagefunction (27TN) provides stator ground-faultprotection for high-impedance-grounded generatorapplications (See Figure 2-20). When used inconjunction with the fundamental neutralovervoltage (60/50Hz) function (59N), 100% statorground-fault protection can be provided. This isillustrated in Figure 2-20.

The 27TN function can be supervised by thepositive-sequence undervoltage element.Undervoltage supervision can prevent tripping whenthe generator field is not energized or the unit isnot yet synchronized.

In some generators, the third harmonic voltagecan be very low, especially during light loadconditions. It is also observed in some generatorinstallations that the third harmonic voltage isconsiderably reduced for a specific range of poweroutput (band). To prevent mis-operation duringthese conditions, the 27TN function can beprogrammed to be supervised (blocked) by lowforward power, low reverse power, low Vars (leadand lag), low power factor (lead/lag), and whenthe forward power is inside a band.

To properly handle pump storage operations, theM-3425A forward power blocking algorithm is enablefrom “zero per unit” to the forward power setpoint.During plant startup, after the field is flashed and

before the unit synchronized, small currentmeasurement errors cause the measured powerto fluctuate (typically <0.2%.) This may result ina measured power value that is negative (i.e.,–0.001 pu.) If the reverse power blocking is notenabled, the 27TN may be momentarily unblocked,resulting in a relay operation and nuisance generatortrip. It is highly recommended that if the ForwardPower Blocking is used, both the Forward PowerBlocking and Reverse Power Blocking be enabledand set.

In the majority of the cases, these blockingfunctions will be disabled, except for those operatingcases where the third harmonic neutral voltagemagnitude is less than 0.5 V. The settings forthe blocking functions should be set based onfield measurements. Blocking regions are illustratedin Figure 2-21.

The 27TN setting depends on the actual third-harmonic neutral voltage level seen during normaloperation of the generator. The setting should beabout 50% of the minimum third-harmonic voltageobserved during various loading conditions. Thiscan be most conveniently measured duringcommissioning of the relay. Since the relaymeasures the third harmonic voltage levels andwill display those values directly, no additionalequipment is required. The undervoltage inhibitsetting should be about 80% to 90% of the nominalvoltage. The ranges and increments are presentedin Figure 2-22.

32 Directional PowerThe Directional Power function (32) can provideprotection against both generator motoring andoverload. It provides three power setpoints, eachwith a magnitude setting and a time delay. TheForward Power direction (power flow to system) isautomatically chosen when the pickup setting ispositive and the Reverse Power direction (powerflow to generator) is automatically chosen when thepickup setting is negative. The range, as shown isfrom –3.000 PU to 3.000 PU where 1.0 PU is equalto the generator MVA rating. Normalized PU powerflow measurements are based on Nominal Voltageand Nominal Current setting, as shown in Section2.1, Configuration, Relay System Setup.

Protection from Generator MotoringProtection against motoring is provided by selectinga negative pickup with Over/Under power set toOver. The relay will operate when the measured realpower is greater (more negative) than the pickupsetting in the reverse direction.

In some steam generator applications it is desirableto trip the generator when the forward power is lessthan a small value. This is due to the fact that thetrapped steam will cause the generator to supply asmall amount of power even though the steam

valves are closed. In this case the Over/Underpower setting is set to Under and a positive pickupsetting is chosen. The relay will trip when themeasured forward power is less than the pickupvalue. The function should be blocked when thegenerator breaker is open (using contact inputblocking) otherwise the function will trip and preventthe generator from being brought online.

Protection from Generator OverloadProtection from generator overload is provided byselecting a positive pickup setting with Over/UnderPower setting set to Over. The relay will operatewhen the measured real power is greater than thepickup setting.

Protection from Excessive Reactive PowerThe directional power element #3 can be set tooperate on either real power or reactive power.When protection from excessive reactive power isrequired the element #3 can be set to operate onreactive power. The relay will operate when themeasured reactive power exceeds the pickup setting.

The reverse power pickup setting should be based on the type ofprime mover and the losses when the generator is motoring.

Reverse power relays should always be applied with a time delayin order to prevent mis-operation during power swing conditions.Typical time delay settings are 20 to 30 seconds.

Target LED for the 32 Function elements can be individually enabledor disabled.

When Low Forward Power protection is desired, set this to Underwith a positive pickup setting. The relay will trip when the realpower measurement is less than or equal to the pickup setpoint.

If used, positive direction power settings can be used for overloadprotection, providing either alarm or tripping or both, when powerequals or exceeds the setting. The pickup and time delay settingsshould be based on the capability limit of the generator.

A second reverse power setting can be used for sequential trip-ping of the generator in which case the associated time delay willbe in the range of 2 to 3 seconds.

Directional Power Sensing for Element #3 can be selected as Realor Reactive.

40 Loss of FieldThe Loss-of-Field function (40) provides protectionfor a partial or complete loss of field. A variety ofpossible settings make the M-3425A GeneratorProtection Relay very flexible when applied to loss-of-field protection. Ranges and increments arepresented in Figure 2-30.

The loss-of-field function is implemented with twooffset mho elements, an undervoltage element, anda directional element. The setting for each mhoelement, diameter, offset, and time delay, areadjusted individually. Each element has two timedelay settings. The second time delay (delay withVC) is applicable with voltage control, and the timeronly starts if the positive sequence voltage is belowthe voltage control setting. The function with voltagecontrol and without voltage control can beprogrammed to send to two different output contacts,if desired. The delay with voltage control may beenabled on each element but the voltage levelsetting is common. The voltage control allows forfaster tripping when low voltage may be caused bythe VAr intake by the machine with loss of excitation.A common directional unit is provided to block therelay operation during slightly underexcitedconditions (since approach #1 with negative offsetis inherently directional, the directional element isnot required). The directional unit’s angle setting(QD) can be set from 0° to 20°.

The settings of the offset mho elements should besuch that the relay detects the loss-of-field conditionfor any loading while not mis-operating during powerswings and fault conditions. Two approaches arewidely used in the industry, both of which aresupported by the M-3425A relay. Both approachesrequire knowledge of the reactances and otherparameters of the generator. They are described inFigure 2-28, Loss of Field (40) — ProtectiveApproach I and Figure 2-29, Loss of Field (40) —Protective Approach II.

Positive sequence impedance measurements areused for the loss of field functions. All impedancesettings are secondary relay quantities and can bederived from the following formula:

Z SEC

= ZPRI

x (RC ÷ R

V)

where ZSEC

= secondary reflected impedance,Z

PRI = primary impedance, R

C = current transformer

ratio, and RV = voltage transformer ratio.

The first approach is shown in Figure 2-28, Loss ofField (40) — Protective Approach I. Here, both ofthe offset mho elements (#1 and #2) are set with anoffset of –Xl

d÷2, where Xl

d is the (saturated) direct

axis transient reactance of the generator. Thediameter of the smaller circle (#1) is set at 1.0 puimpedance on the machine base. This mho elementdetects loss-of-field from full load to about 30%load. A small time delay provides fast protection.

The diameter of the larger circle (#2) is set equal toX

d, where X

d is the (unsaturated) direct axis

synchronous reactance of the machine. This mhoelement can detect a loss-of-field condition fromalmost no load to full load. A time delay of 30 to 60cycles (#2) should be used in order to preventpossible incorrect operation on stable swings.

The time delay with voltage control is typically setshorter than the other time delay.

The second approach is shown in Figure 2-29,Loss of Field (40) – Protective Approach II. In thisapproach, one of the mho elements is set with anoffset of –Xl

d ÷ 2, a diameter of 1.1 X

d-(Xl

d ÷ 2), and

a time delay of 10 to 30 cycles. The second elementis set to coordinate with the generator minimumexcitation limit and steady-state stability limit.

In order to obtain proper coordination, the offset ofthis element must be adjusted to be positive.Typically, the offset is set equal to the unittransformer reactance (X

T). The diameter is

approximately equal to (1.1 Xd + XT). A time delayof 30 to 60 cycles would prevent mis-operation onstable swings.

The following table provides suggested time settingswhen time delay with VC is used in addition tostandard time delay.

Typical setting is 13° (0.974 power factor). Thissetting is common to both element #1 and #2.

Approach #1 can also be used for Zone #1, andapproach #2 for Zone #2, where better coordinationwith AVR limiters, machine capability limits, andsteady state stability limits can be obtained.

46 Negative Sequence OvercurrentThe Negative Sequence Overcurrent function (46)provides protection against possible rotoroverheating and damage due to unbalanced faultsor other system conditions which can causeunbalanced three phase currents in the generator.Ranges and increments are presented in Figure2-32.

This function has a definite time element and aninverse time element. The definite time pickup valueand definite operating time are normally associatedwith an alarm function. The inverse time element isusually associated with a trip function and has apickup and an operating time defined by an (I

2)2 t =

K, where K is the Time Dial Setting and I2 is the per

unit negative sequence current.

The minimum delay for the inverse time function isfactory set at 12 cycles to avoid nuisance tripping.A maximum time to trip can be set to reduce theoperating times for modest imbalances. An importantfeature that helps protect the generator from damagedue to recurring imbalances is a linear resetcharacteristic. When I

2 decreases below the pickup

value, the trip timer takes the reset time settingfrom its 100% trip level. Figure 2-31, Negative

Sequence Overcurrent Inverse Time Curves,illustrates the inverse time characteristic of thenegative sequence overcurrent function.

Operating times are lower than shown in Figure 2-31when measured current values are greater than 15A (3 A for 1 A rated circuit).

The first task of setting this function is to determinethe capabilities of the associated machine. Asestablished by ANSI standards, the machine limitsare expressed as (I

2)2t = K. The value of K is

established by the machine design and is generallyprovided on test sheets of the machine. The relaycan accommodate any generator size because ofthe wide range of K settings from 1 to 95. Typicalvalues can be found in ANSI C50.13-1977.

The negative sequence pickup range is from 3% to100% of the Nominal Current value input duringsystem setup (see Section 2.1, Configuration).

This protection must not operate for system faultsthat will be cleared by system relaying. This requiresconsideration of line protection, bus differential andbreaker failure backup protections.

The pickup setting is usually quite low (3–5%) and the output ofthis function is usually connected to alarm only.

Time delay should be set high enough to avoid alarms on tran-sients.

The 46 Inverse Time pickup setting should coincide with thecontinuous negative sequence current capability of the generatoroperating at full output.

The maximum trip time is used to reduce the longer trip timesassociated with low to moderate imbalances to a preset time.

Emulates generator cool down time.

The time dial setting corresponds to the K provided by the generatormanufacturer for the specific unit being protected. See Figure 2-31for the negative sequence overcurrent inverse time curves.

49 Stator Overload ProtectionThe Stator Thermal Overload function (49) providesprotection against possible damage during overloadconditions. The characteristic curves are based onIEC-255-8 standard, and represent both cold andhot curves.

implementing the inverse time characteristic.

50/50N Instantaneous Overcurrent, Phase andNeutral CircuitsThe Instantaneous Phase (50) and InstantaneousNeutral (50N) overcurrent functions provide fasttripping for high fault currents. The settings of bothfunctions must be set such that they will not pickupfor fault or conditions outside the immediateprotective zone. If the neutral current input isconnected to a step-up transformer’s neutral CT,the 50N function can be used as a breaker flashoverprotection when used in conjunction with externalbreaker failure protection. Ranges and Incrementsare presented in Figures 2-36 and 2-37. The functionautomatically selects fundamental RMS or totalRMS calculation based on the input frequency.When the generator frequency is within 5 Hz fromthe nominal frequency, it uses fundamental RMScalculation. Outside of this range, it uses total RMScalculation, which will provide protection duringoffline down to a frequency of 8 Hz.

For providing off-line protection, one of the elementscan be supervised by a breaker ‘b’ contact, and theelement blocked when the breaker is closed. Thisallows the function to be set sensitively (below fullload current).

The relay current (IR) is equal to the primary current (Ip) dividedby the appropriate CT ratio. These screens are repeated for 50#2element.

Implementation of the generator breaker failurefunction is illustrated in Figure 2-38. The breakerfailure timer will be started whenever any one of thedesignated output contacts or the externalprogrammed breaker failure initiate status input areoperated. The timer continues to time if any one ofthe phase currents are above the 50BF-Ph pickupsetting or if the 52b contact indicates the breaker isstill closed; otherwise, the timer is reset.

Since current in the generator high side CT whichenergizes the 50BF protection (I

A, I

B, I

C) might not

extinguish concurrently with the breaker opening forfaults between the CT location and the generatorbreaker, a possible area of mis-operation exists.Usually the risk of faults in this limited area is smallenough to be ignored but should be considered.

50BF-Neutral Element: This instantaneousovercurrent relay is energized from the generatorneutral CT (See Figure 2-5, One-Line FunctionalDiagram). This function is internally in series with abreaker “b” contact (IN1) to provide logic for thebreaker flashover protection (see Figure 2-38).

HV Breaker Failure (limited) The breaker failurefunction may be used for a unit breaker rather thana generator breaker. It is limited in that it has nofault detector associated with the unit breaker. Outputcontact operation would occur if any of the initiatecontacts close and the 52b contact indicated aclosed breaker after the set time delay.

This operation is chosen by disabling the neutralelement, disabling the phase element, anddesignating initiating inputs and outputs and a timedelay setting.

50BF Generator Breaker Failure/HV BreakerFlashoverThe Generator Breaker Failure/HV Breaker Flashoverfunction (50BF) is applicable when a generatorbreaker is present and line side generator CTs arebeing used. The 50BF-Ph phase detector element(if enabled) is used for breaker failure and the50BF-N (if enabled) provides breaker flashoverprotection by providing an additional breaker failureinitiate which is only active when the breaker isopen. For high impedance grounded applications,the 50BF-N function is inapplicable and must bedisabled. Ranges and increments are presented inFigure 2-39.

50BF-Ph Generator Breaker Failure: When theM-3425A Generator Protection Relay detects aninternal fault or an abnormal operating condition, itcloses an output contact to trip the generator breakeror the unit HV breaker. When a generator breaker isused, protection is available for the instance whereit fails to clear the fault or abnormal condition. Suchgenerator breaker failure protection output contactsmust be connected to trip the additional necessarybreakers to isolate the generator from the system.

The breaker-failure condition is usually detected bythe continued presence of current in any one ormore of the phases after a trip has been sent to thebreaker. However, the current detector (50BF-Ph)may not always give the correct status of thebreaker, especially for generator breakers. This isbecause faults and abnormal operating conditionssuch as ground faults, overexcitation, over/underfrequency, and reverse power may not produceenough current to operate the current detectors. Forthis reason, the breaker status input 52b contactmust be used, in addition to the 50BF-Ph, to provideadequate breaker status indication.

In some cases, the generators may be run with afaulted turn shorted until the generator winding isrepaired. To prevent mis-operation under theseconditions, the pickup setting of the faulted phaseshould be set higher than the other phases. Toaccommodate this function, individual pickupsettings are available for each phase. Ranges andincrements are presented in Figure 2-40

50DT Definite Time Overcurrent (for split-phasedifferential)The Definite Time Overcurrent (50DT) function canbe applied in two different configurations based onthe CT connections.

50/27 Inadvertent EnergizingThe Inadvertent Energizing function (50/27) of therelay is an overcurrent function supervised bygenerator terminal bus voltage. Inadvertent oraccidental energizing of off-line generators hasoccurred frequently enough to warrant the use ofdedicated protection logic to detect this condition.Operating errors, breaker flashovers, control circuitmalfunctions or a combination of these causeshave resulted in generators being accidentallyenergized while off-line. The problem is particularlyprevalent on large generators connected through ahigh voltage disconnect switch to either a ring busor breaker-and-a-half bus configuration. When agenerator is accidentally energized from the powersystem, it will accelerate like an induction motor.

Typical pickup setting is 0.5 amps. No coordination is required withother protection since this function is only operational when thegenerator is off-line.

The purpose of the undervoltage detector is to determine whetherthe unit is connected to the system. The voltage level during thisaccidental energization depends on the system strength. Typicalsetting is 50%–70% of rated voltage (in some cases, it may be setas low as 20%.)

The pickup time delay is the time for the undervoltage unit tooperate to arm the protection. It must coordinate with other protectionfor conditions which cause low voltages (typically longer than 21and 51V time delay settings.)

The dropout time delay is the time for the unit to operate to disarmthe protection when the voltage is increased above the pickupvalue or the generator is brought on-line.

While the machine is accelerating, high currentsinduced into the rotor can cause significant damagein a matter of seconds. Voltage supervisedovercurrent logic is designed to provide thisprotection. (See Figure 2-41, Inadvertent EnergizingFunction Logic Diagram)

An undervoltage element (all three phase voltagesmust be below pickup) with adjustable pickup anddropout time delay supervises instantaneousovercurrent tripping. The undervoltage detectorsautomatically arm the overcurrent tripping when thegenerator is taken off-line. This undervoltage detectorwill disable or disarm the overcurrent operationwhen the machine is put back in service. Rangesand increments are presented in Figure 2-42.

51N Inverse Time Neutral OvercurrentThe Inverse Time Neutral Overcurrent function (51N)provides protection against ground faults. Since nozero sequence or ground current is usually presentduring normal operation, this function can be set forgreater sensitivity than the phase overcurrentprotection. If the 51N and 50N functions are notused at the generator neutral, they can be used todetect system ground faults by being energized bythe step-up transformer neutral CTs. Ranges andincrements are presented in Figure 2-43.

cycle time delay should be added to these curves inorder to obtain the relay operating time. Inversetime curves saturate beyond 20 times pickup. Forcurrents in excess of 20 times pickup, operatingtimes are fixed at the 20 times pickup level.

The function automatically selects fundamental RMSor total RMS calculation based on the inputfrequency. When the generator frequency is within

5 Hz from the nominal frequency, it usesfundamental RMS calculation. Outside of this range,it uses total RMS calculation, which will provideprotection during offline down to a frequency of 8Hz.

The inverse time overcurrent function can be voltagecontrolled (VC), voltage restrained (VR), or neither.For voltage-controlled operation, the function is notactive unless the voltage is below the voltage controlsetpoint. This philosophy is used to confirm that theovercurrent is due to system fault. When applied,most users will set voltage control limits in therange of 0.7 to 0.9 per unit RMS voltage. Whenvoltage restraint is selected (See Figure 2-44,Voltage Restraint (51VR) Characteristic), the pickupsetting is continuously modified in proportion to thecollapsing terminal voltage. The voltage restraintfunction is well-suited to small generators withrelatively short time constants.

NOTE: The 51V function should be blocked byfuse loss if in the voltage control modeonly. Fuse loss blocking is not desirablefor voltage restraint mode because thepickup is automatically held at 100%pickup during fuse loss conditions, andoperation will continue as normal.

The internally derived voltage used to realize thevoltage control or restraint feature depends on theconfigured VT configuration and the Delta-YTransform setting (see Section 2.1, Configuration,Relay System Setup). Table 2-4, Delta/WyeTransformer Voltage-Current Pairs describes thecalculation for the various system VT configurations.

51V Inverse Time Phase Overcurrent withVoltage Control/RestraintTime-overcurrent relays, one per phase, are used totrip circuits selectively and to time-coordinate withother up- or downstream relays. For this function,eight complete series of inverse time trippingcharacteristics are included. The same descriptionsand nomenclature which are traditionally used withelectromechanical relays are used in the relay. Thus,user may choose from four BECO curves (BEDEF,BEINV, BEVINV, and BEEINV), four IEC curves(IECI, IECVI, IECEI, and IECLT), and three IEEEcurves (MINV, VINV, EINV.) Within each family, theoperator selects time dial setting and pickup (tap)setting, just as with electromechanical relays. Rangesand increments are presented in Figure 2-45.

The curves available for use are shown in AppendixD, Inverse Time Curves. They cover a range from1.5 to 20 times the pickup setting. An additional onecycle time delay should be added to these curves inorder to obtain the relay operating time. Inversetime curves saturate beyond 20 times pickup. Forcurrents in excess of 20 times pickup, operatingtimes are fixed at the 20 time pickup level. Theparticular settings will be made by information fromshort-circuit fault studies and knowledge of thecoordination requirements with other devices in thesystem that respond to time overcurrent.

51V is a true three-phase function, in that the relayincorporates separate integrating timers on eachphase.

The pickup of the 51V is set in relay amps.(Relay amps = primary amps ÷ CT ratio)

If voltage control is designated, the 51V willonly operate when the voltage is less than the 51V voltage controlsetting specified below. When applied, the voltage control is usuallyset in the range of 70% to 90% of the nominal voltage.

59 Phase OvervoltageThe Phase Overvoltage function (59) may be usedto provide overvoltage protection for the generator.The relay provides overvoltage protection functionswith three voltage levels and three definite-timesetpoints, any one or more of which can beprogrammed to trip the unit or send an alarm. Thisis a true 3-phase function in that each phase has anindependent timing element.

59D Third Harmonic Voltage Differential (Ratio)This scheme, when used in conjunction with 59Nfunction may provide 100% Stator Ground faultprotection.

Figure 2-47 illustrates a third harmonic voltagedifferential scheme. This scheme compares thethird harmonic voltage appearing at the neutral tothat which appears at the generator terminals. Theratio of these third harmonic voltages is relativelyconstant for all load conditions. A stator phase-to-ground fault will disrupt this balance, causingoperation of the differential relay (see Figure 2-20).The generator terminal voltage (Line Side Voltage)can be selected as 3V

59N Overvoltage, Neutral Circuit or ZeroSequenceThe Neutral Overvoltage function (59N) providesstator ground fault protection for high impedancegrounded generators. The 59N function can provideground fault protection for 90–95% of the statorwinding (measured from the terminal end).

59N #2 and 59N #3 screensare identical to 59N #1.

With typical grounding transformer ratios and a typical minimum setting of5 volts, this protection is capable of detecting ground faults in about 95% ofthe generator stator winding from the terminal end.

If grounded-wye/grounded-wye VTs are connected at the machine terminals,the voltage relay must be time coordinated with VT fuses for faults on thetransformer secondary winding. If relay time delay for coordination is notacceptable, the coordination problem can be alleviated by grounding one of thesecondary phase conductors instead of the secondary neutral. When thistechnique is used, the coordination problem still exists for ground faults on thesecondary neutral conductor. Thus, its usefulness is limited to those applicationswhere the exposure to ground faults on the secondary neutral is small.

Since system ground faults can induce zero sequence voltages at thegenerator due to transformer capacitance coupling, this relay mustcoordinate with the system ground fault relaying. It is possible to set59N#1, 59N#2, and 59N#3 to coordinate with the PT secondary fuses, andalso coordinate with worst case capacitive coupling interference voltagefrom system ground faults (high side of the GSU).

For applications where the M-3425A relay (where the 64S function ispurchased or not) is used with 100% Stator Ground protection with 20 Hzinjection schemes, the 59N 20 Hz injection mode must be enabled in orderto calculate the voltage magnitude accurately for the 59N function, due tothe 20 Hz injection voltage. The time delay accuracy of the function is –1 to+5 cycles when the 20 Hz injection mode is enabled.

The 59N function provides three setpoints, andresponds only to the fundamental frequencycomponent, rejecting all other harmonic components.Ranges and increments are presented in Figure 2-50.

59X Multipurpose Overvoltage (Turn-to-TurnStator Fault Protection or Bus GroundProtection)For generators where the stator-winding configurationdoes not allow the application of split-phasedifferential, a neutral voltage method can be used todetect turn-to-turn stator winding faults. Figure 2-50illustrates this method. Three VTs are connected inwye and the primary ground lead is tied to thegenerator neutral. The secondary is connected in a“broken delta” with an overvoltage relay connectedacross its open delta to measure 3V

0 voltage. In

High Impedance grounded generators, connectingthe primary ground lead to the generator neutral,makes this element insensitive to stator groundfaults. The relay will, however, operate for turn-to-turn faults, which increase the 3V

0 voltage above

low normal levels. Installation requires the cablefrom the neutral of the VT to generator neutral beinsulated for the system line-to-ground voltage andthe relay to be tuned to fundamental (60/50 Hz)frequency components of the voltage since somethird-harmonic frequency component of the voltagewill be present across the broken delta VT input.

Alternatively, this function can be used to detectbus ground faults, when connected as shown inFigure 2-10.

When used for Turn-to-Turn fault protection the pickup should beset above the normal zero sequence voltage level. Typically thepickup is set to 5 V.

When used for Bus Ground protection it is again set above thenormal zero sequence voltage seen at the bus. Typical setting isbetween 10 and 20 Volts to provide sensitive protection.

The Time Delay for Turn-to-Turn faults should be set to approximately5 cycles. For bus ground fault protection application the time delayshould coordinate with other ground fault relaying and VT fuses.

A frequency check element is included in the fuseloss detection logic to avoid erroneous alarms whenthe generator is in a start up condition. For a 50Hzsystem, the 60FL alarm will be inhibited if themeasured frequency is greater than 55.12 Hz F

U or

less than 44.88 Hz FL. For a 60 Hz system, the 60FL

alarm will be inhibited if the measured frequency isgreater than 65.12 Hz F

U or less than 54.88 Hz F

L.

The Frequency Band Detector does not inhibit the60FL three-phase loss of potential logic.

External Fuse-Loss FunctionFor the specific application where the precedinglogic cannot be considered reliable (such as whencurrent inputs to the relay are not connected, orsustained positive sequence current during faultconditions is minimal), an external fuse failurefunction can be used as an input to the relay. Theexternal 60 FL Function contact is connected acrossany control/status input. The relay protectionfunctions are then blocked by an assertion of thecontrol/status input (INx), as a blocking function ineach function’s respective setting screen.

60FL VT Fuse Loss Alarm FunctionThe 60FL alarm function is enabled by the internallogic by selecting the “FL” option in the 60 FLfunction setup screen. It is enable by the externallogic by selecting the appropriate control/statusinput (INx) in the 60FL function setup screen.

A timer associated with the fuse loss alarm logic isavailable. This timer is to assure proper coordinationfor conditions that may appear as a fuse loss, suchas secondary VT circuit faults that will be clearedby local low voltage circuit action (fuses or circuitbreakers). Ranges and increments are presented inFigure 2-53.

60FL VT Fuse LossSome functions may operate inadvertently when aVT fuse is blown or an event causes a loss of one,two, or all three potentials to the relay. Provisionsare incorporated for both internal and externalpotential loss detection and blocking of user definedfunctions. The logic scheme and options areillustrated in Figure 2-52.

Internal Fuse Loss Detection LogicThe internal logic scheme available will detect aloss of one, two, and all three potentials.

For the loss of one or two potentials, positive andnegative sequence quantities are compared. Thepresence of negative sequence voltage in the absenceof negative sequence current is considered to be afuse loss condition. An additional supervising conditionincludes a minimum positive sequence voltage toassure voltage is being applied to the relay.

For the loss of all three phase potentials, acomparison of the three phase voltages is made tothe three phase currents. If all three potentials areunder 0.05 V

nom, and all three currents are below

1.25 Inom

combined with I1 > 0.33A, a three phase

potential loss is declared. A seal in circuit is providedto ensure a three phase fuse loss condition is notdeclared during a three phase fault if the faultcurrent decays below the 1.25 Inom pickup setting.

Protection functions in the relay may be blocked byan assertion of the fuse failure logic (FL), in eachfunction’s respective setting screen. Typicalfunctions to block on a loss of potential event are21, 27, 32, 40, 51V (for Voltage Control only), 67,67N, 78 and 81.

The 60FL function does not have to be enabled inorder to use the FL as a blocking input in the relayconfiguration menu.

The initiating control/status inputs are user-designated. The closingof any of the externally connected contacts (across these in-puts) will start the associated time delay to the 60FL functionoperation. In order to use internal fuse loss logic for 60FL func-tion, “FL” must be checked. Externally initiated fuse loss detec-tion may be input to other status inputs. Inputs IN7–IN14 mustbe set using IPScom®.

The time delay is set to coordinate for conditions which mayappear as a fuse loss but will be corrected by other protection(such as a secondary VT circuit fault which will be cleared bylocal low voltage circuit action). This delay does not affect inter-nal FL blocking option.

64B/F Field Ground Protection64F Field Ground DetectionTypical connections for Field Ground Protectionapplications (including hydro turbine-generator andbrushless generators) is given in Figure 2-54. Thisfunction requires the connection of an externalcoupler (M-3921). To improve accuracy andminimize the effects of stray capacitance, theM-3921 Field Ground Coupler should be mountedclose to the exciter. Connections from the couplerto the relay should use low capacitance shieldedcable, and be as short as possible. Cable shieldshould be terminated at the relay end to the RelayGround Stud (See Figure 5-9, External Connections).If cabling between the coupler and relay exceeds100 feet, provisions should be made for in circuitcalibration to nullify the effects of cablingcapacitance. See Section 6.4, Auto Calibration, forcalibration procedure.

The Field Ground function provides detection ofinsulation breakdown between the excitation fieldwinding and the ground. There are two pickup andtime delay settings, and one adjustable injectionfrequency setting for the 64F function. The adjustablefrequency is provided to compensate for the amountof capacitance across the field winding and theground so that the function accuracy is improved.The minimum time delay should be set greater than(2/IF + 1) seconds. Where IF = Injection frequency.Ranges and increments are presented in Figure 2-55.

64F #2 PICKUPkOhm

64F #2 DELAYCycles

Table 2-5 gives typical frequency settings based onthe rotor capacitance. The rotor capacitance can bemeasured with a capacitance meter by connectingthe meter across the field winding to ground.

Factors Affecting 64F PerformanceSome excitation systems include shaft voltagesuppressors which include capacitors that areinstalled between the +/- field and ground. The effectof these capacitors is given by the following equation:

R JJJJJ___1___ (2π IF C)

where:R = Parallel winding-ground resitance

IF = Injection frequency setting

C = Capacitance value

To minimize this effect the following my beimplemented:

• The injection frequency setting can bereduced, however accuracy decreasesas a result.

• With the concurrence of the excitermanufacturer, surge capacitors rated ata lower value may be installed.

This setting should not exceed 80% of the ungrounded resitance valueto prevent nuisance tripping. Typical setting for the 64F #1 pickupelement for alarming is 20 Kohms.

Typical delay setting for tripping is 800 cycles.

Typical setting for 64F #2 pickup element for tripping is 5 Kohms.

Typical delay setting for alarming is 180 cycles.

Brushless Generator Application64F Application for Brushless Generators

The 64F Function can be implemented on brushlessgenerators that employ a "measurement" brush (seeFigure 2-54 Detail C) to verify the integrity of field. In thisconfiguration generally only one field polarity is available.Therefore, a suitably sized jumper must be installed fromTB2 to TB3 (Coupling Network box M-2931) and then tothe positive or negative field lead.

In some configurations the measurement brush iscontinuously applied. In others the measurement brush isapplied periodically. In configurations that automatically liftthe measurement brush, the 64B Function must beblocked by an input to the relay to prevent an alarm whenthe measurement brush is lifted. If the 64B Function is notdesired, then the 64B Function should be disabled.

The 64F Function can not be used on brushlessgenerators utilizing LED coupling.

64F Application for Hydro Turbine-Generators

The application of the 64F Function requires a groundreturn path, either through a shaft ground brush (Figure2-54 Detail A) or though an alternate ground path (i.e.water for some hydro machines.)

Hydro Turbine-Generator unit shafts that extend into thewater with no electrical isolation between the turbine shaftand the generator shaft can use the water as the alternateground path (see Figure 2-54 Detail B). In this application,the water provides the alternate ground path and a shaftgrounding brush is not required. Francis and KaplanTurbine Generators usually meet this applicationrequirement. If the unit can experience a low watercondition, the low water may not provide a reliable groundreturn. For this condition, a shaft ground brush may berequired.

A shaft ground brush must be utilized for the 64F Functionon Pelton Hydro Turbine-Generator applications.

When 64B operates, indicating open brushconditions, the 64F Function cannot detect a fieldground. For most generators, when the brushes ofthe rotor shaft are lifted, the capacitance across thefield winding and the ground significantly reduces toless than 0.15 μF. The 64B Function analyzes thiscapacitance-related signal, and initiates an outputcontact when it detects an open brush condition.Typically, this output is used to alert operatingpersonnel of an open brush condition. Ranges andincrements are presented in Figure 2-58. The typicalpickup setting is listed in Table 2-6, Typical BrushLift-Off Pickup Settings.

In order to assure correct setting, it is recommendedthat the actual operating value be predeterminedduring the final stage of the relay installation. Byintroducing a brush-open condition, the actual valuecan be easily obtained from the relay. The followingprocedure can be used to obtain the actual operatingvalue of the 64B during an open brush condition:

88888 WARNING: Machine should be off-line andfield excitation should be off during thecapacitance measurement.

NOTE: Field breaker should be closed for thecapacitance measurements.

1. After installation has been completed,determine the rotor capacitance, asoutlined for the 64F function.

2. With the machine still off-line, applypower to the relay and set the 64B/Foperating frequency in accordance withthe value listed in Table 2-5, TypicalFrequency Settings.

3. Introduce a brush-open condition bydisconnecting the rotor brushes or liftingthe brushes from their ground. Observethe 64B voltage value displayed byIPScom or the relay. The displayed valueis the actual measured operating valueof the 64B function.

4. To ensure correct operation and preventerroneous trips, the Pickup Setting forthe 64B Lift-off condition should be setat 80–90% of the actual operating value.

The 64B/F Frequency is a shared setting common to both the 64Band 64F Functions. If either function is enabled, this setpoint isavailable, and should be set to compensate for the amount ofcapacitance across the field winding and ground, so that themeasurement accuracy is improved.

To minimize measurement errors, the 64B/F frequency shouldbe set according to the amount of capacitance across the fieldwinding and the ground. Table 2-5 includes typical settings of thefrequency for capacitance, ranging from 1 μF to 10 μF.

reactance of the generator stator winding and unittransformer referred to the grounding transformersecondary. N is the turn ratio of the groundedtransformer. The pickup setting should be based onthe required insulation resistance setting. In orderto detect a fault of 5,000 Ohms on the generatorstator, the pickup current should be set at:

$###G/-

#!"B

When the generator is operating normally (no groundfault) only a small amount of 20 Hz current will flowas a result of the stator capacitance to ground.When a ground fault occurs anywhere on thegenerator stator windings the 20 Hz current willincrease. The 64S function will issue a trip signalafter a set time delay when the measured 20 Hzcurrent exceeds the pickup current as illustrated inFigure 2-57.

The 64S protection can be blocked by UndervoltageInhibit. If the 20 Hz voltage (nominal 25 V) is lessthan the Undervoltage Inhibit setting (andUndervoltage Inhibit is enabled), the 64S functionwill be blocked. For cases where the Load Resistor(RL) is small, the Undervoltage Inhibit should not beenabled, as the voltage will be small.

The 59N function (90 to 95%) should also be usedin conjunction with 64S protection to provide backup.

CAUTION: Dangerous high voltages may bepresent at the generator terminals if the 20 Hzinjection voltage is not removed when the generatoris taken out of service.

If the 20 Hz injection voltage generator receivespower from the generator terminal voltage, then the20 Hz injection voltage generator will be automaticallyswitched off whenever the generator terminal voltageis not present.

64S 100% Stator Ground Protection by LowFrequency Signal Injection

NOTE: The Stator Ground Protection function(64S) must be selected when theM-3425A is initially ordered.

The 100% stator ground fault protection is providedby injecting an external 20 Hz signal into the neutralof the generator. The protection is provided whenthe machine is on-line as well as off-line (providedthat the 20 Hz generator and relay are powered on.)This scheme requires the following externalcomponents in addition to M-3425A protectionsystem (See Table 2-7 for details):

• 20 Hz Signal-generator• Band-pass filter• 20 Hz Measuring Current Transformer,

400/5 A CT

NOTE: Chapter 5, Installation contains lowfrequency signal injection equipmentinstallation information.

The voltage signal generated by the 20 Hz signal-generator is injected into the secondary of thegenerator neutral grounding transformer through aband-pass filter. The band-pass filter passes the 20Hz signal and rejects out-of-band signals. The outputof the 20 Hz band-pass filter is connected to the V

Ninput of the M-3425A relay through a suitable voltagedivider, that limits the M-3425A to OOOOO 200 V ac (thevoltage generator may be bypassed if the expected50/60 Hz voltage during a phase-to-ground fault ofthe generator is OOOOO 200 V.) The 20Hz current is alsoconnected to the IIIIIN

input of the M-3425A, throughthe 20Hz current transformer.

C inputs. The function

provides both definite time and inverse timeelements. The inverse time element provides severalcurves. The curves available for use are shown inAppendix D, Inverse Time Curves. They cover arange from 1.5 to 20 times the pickup setting. Anadditional one cycle time delay should be added tothese curves in order to obtain the relay operatingtime. Inverse time curves saturate beyond 20 timespickup. For currents in excess of 20 times pickup,operating times are fixed at the 20 time pickuplevel.

To obtain maximum sensitivity for fault currents,the directional element is provided with a maximumsensitivity angle adjustment (MSA). This setting iscommon to both the 67NDT and 67NIT elements.The pickup sensitivity of the relay remains constantfor 90° either side of the so-called MaximumSensitivity Angle (MSA). At angles over 90° fromMSA, the relay operation is blocked. Typical MSAsetting for a generator internal ground fault protectoris approximately 150°.

67N Residual Directional OvercurrentThe Residual Directional Overcurrent function (67N)provides protection from ground faults. The 67Nfunction can provide generator ground faultprotection. It can also provide directionaldiscrimination when multiple generators are busedtogether. The 67N Function is subject to the followingconfiguration limitations:

• VX polarization cannot be selected if 25

(Sync) function is enabled.

• 3V0 polarization can only be used with

Line-Ground VT configuration.

• 67N Function is not available if 87GD isenabled.

The 67N Function operates on the residual currenteither from internal calculation (3I

the relay (this is preferred compared to 3I0). The

78 Out-of-StepThe Out-of-Step function (78) is used to protect thegenerator from out-of-step or pole slip conditions.This function uses one set of blinders, along with asupervisory MHO element. Ranges and incrementsare presented in Figure 2-63.

The pickup area is restricted to the shaded area inFigure 2-58, Out-of-Step Relay Characteristics, definedby the inner region of the MHO circle, the region to theright of the blinder A and the region to the left of blinderB. For operation of the blinder scheme, the operatingpoint (positive sequence impedance) must originateoutside either blinder A or B, and swing through thepickup area for a time greater than or equal to the timedelay setting and progress to the opposite blinder fromwhere the swing had originated. When this scenariohappens, the tripping logic is complete. The contactwill remain closed for the amount of time set by theseal-in timer delay.

XT

Xd’= Transient Reactance of the Generator

Consider, for example, Figure 2-59. If the Out-of-step swing progresses to impedance Z

0(t

0), the

MHO element and the blinder A element will bothpick up. As the swing proceeds and crosses blinderB at Z

1(t

1), blinder B will pick up. When the swing

reaches Z2(t

2), blinder A will drop out. If TRIP ON

MHO EXIT option is disabled and the timer hasexpired (t

complete. If the TRIP ON MHO EXIT option isenabled and the timer has expired, then for the tripto occur the swing must progress and cross theMHO circle at Z

3(t

3) where the MHO element drops

out. Note the timer is active only in the pickupregion (shaded area). If the TRIP ON MHO EXIToption is enabled, a more favorable tripping angle isachieved, which reduces the breaker tripping duty.The relay can also be set with a Pole Slip Counter.The relay will operate when the number of pole slipsare equal to the setting, provided the Pole SlipReset Time was not expired. Typically, the PoleSlip Counter is set to 1, in which case the Pole SlipReset Time is not applicable.

81 FrequencyThe Frequency function (81) provides eitheroverfrequency or underfrequency protection of thegenerator. It has four independent pickup and timedelay settings. The overfrequency mode isautomatically selected when the frequency setpointis programmed higher than the base frequency (50or 60 Hz), and the underfrequency mode selectedwhen the setpoint is programmed below the basefrequency. Ranges and increments are presented inFigure 2-65.

The steam turbine is usually considered to be morerestrictive than the generator at reduced frequenciesbecause of possible natural mechanical resonancein the many stages of the turbine blades. If thegenerator speed is close to the natural frequency ofany of the blades, there will be an increase invibration. Cumulative damage due to this vibrationcan lead to cracking of the blade structure.

Sample settings of the 81 function are shown inFigure 2-64. The frequency functions are

automatically disabled when the input voltage(positive sequence) is very low (typically between2.5 V and 15 V, based on the frequency.)

The 81 function should be disabled using breakercontact when the unit is offline.

These magnitude and time settings describe a curve(as shown in Figure 2-64, Example of Frequency(81) Trip Characteristics) which is to be coordinatedwith the capability curves of the turbine and generatoras well as the system underfrequency load-sheddingprogram. These capabilities are given by adescription of areas of prohibited operation, restrictedtime operation, and continuous allowable operation.

The underfrequency function is usually connectedto trip the machine whereas the overfrequencyfunction is generally connected to an alarm.

In order to prevent mis–operation during switchingtransients, the time delay should be set to greaterthan five (5) cycles.

81A Frequency AccumulatorFrequency Accumulation feature (81A) provides anindication of the amount of off frequency operationaccumulated.

Turbine blades are designed and tuned to operate atrated frequencies, operating at frequencies differentthan rated can result in blade resonance and fatiguedamage. In 60 Hz machines, the typical operatingfrequency range for 18 to 25 inch blades is 58.5 to61.5 Hz and for 25 to 44 inch blades is between59.5 and 60.5 Hz. Accumulated operation, for thelife of the machine, of not more than 10 minutes forfrequencies between 56 and 58.5 Hz and not morethan 60 minutes for frequencies between 58.5 and59.5 Hz is acceptable on typical machines.

The 81A function can be configured to track offnominal frequency operation by either set point orwhen the frequency is within a frequency band.

When using multiple frequency bands, the lowerlimit of the previous band becomes the upper limit

for the next band, i.e., Low Band #2 is the upperlimit for Band #3, and so forth. Frequency bandsmust be used in sequential order, 1 to 6. Band #1must be enabled to use Bands #2–#6. If any band isdisabled, all following bands are disabled.

When frequency is within an enabled band limit,accumulation time starts (there is an internal tencycle delay prior to accumulation), this allows theunderfrequency blade resonance to be establishedto avoid unnecessary accumulation of time. Whenaccumulated duration is greater than set delay,then the 81A function operated the programmedoutput contact. The contact can be used to alert theoperator or trip the machine.

The accumulator status can be set to preserve theaccumulated information from previous devices.This allows the relay to begin accumulatinginformation at a pre-defined value. This setpoint isonly available through IPScom® CommunicationsSoftware.

81R Rate of Change of FrequencyThe Rate of Change of Frequency function (81R) canbe used for load shedding or tripping applications.

The function also has an automatic disable featurewhich disables 81R function during unbalanced faultsand other system disturbances. This feature usesnegative sequence voltage to block the 81R function.When the measured negative sequence voltageexceeds the inhibit setting, the function 81R andmetering are blocked. The time delay and magnitudesettings of 81R should be based on simulation studies.The ranges and increments are shown in Figure 2-68.

87 Phase DifferentialThe Phase Differential function (87) is a percentagedifferential with an adjustable slope of 1–100%.Although this protection is used to protect themachine from all internal winding faults, single-phase to ground faults in machines with highimpedance grounding may have currents less thanthe sensitivity of the differential relay (typicallybetween 3 and 30 primary amps). Ranges andincrements are presented in Figure 2-70.

Turn-to-turn faults are not detected by differentialrelays because the current into the generator equalsthe current out (see functions 50DT and 59X forturn-to-turn fault protection.) Even though thepercentage differential relay is more tolerant of CTerrors, all CTs should have the same characteristicsand accuracies.

A typical setting is 0.3 amps.

A typical setting is 10%.

A typical setting is one cycle. Typical settings given above assumematched current transformer performance, and that transformer in-rush of the unit transformer does not cause dc saturation of thegenerator CTs. If there is a significant difference in current trans-former ratings (C800 vs C200, for example), or if saturation of thegenerator CTs is expected during energizing of the step up trans-former, more appropriate settings might be 0.5 A pick up, 20% slope,and a delay of 5 to 8 cycles.

If line side and neutral side CTs do not have the same ratio, the ratioerror can be corrected (the line side measured current is multipliedby the phase CT correction settings.)

Line Side CTRPhase CT Correction =

Neutral Side CTR

To provide restraint for CT saturation at high offsetcurrents, the slope is automatically adjusted (at arestraining current equal to two times nominal current)to four times the slope setting, see Figure 2-69.

For very high currents in large generators, theproximity of CTs and leads in different phases cancause unbalanced currents to flow in the secondaries.These currents must be less than the minimumsensitivity of the relay.

There are two elements in this function. Element #2is intended to provide phase differential protectionfor SFC (Static Frequency Converter) starting gasturbine generator applications. Element #1 shouldbe disabled with a contact blocking input during aconverter start operation (generator off-line), sincethe current is carried by only neutral side CTs andthe resulting differential current may mis-operate87#1 function. The 87#2 element, which is set witha higher current pickup, will still provide protectionfor this condition.

87GD Ground (Zero Sequence) DifferentialThe Zero Sequence Differential function (87GD)provides ground fault protection for low impedancegrounded generator applications. High sensitivityand fast operation can be obtained using thisfunction. Ranges and increments are presented inFigure 2-71.

The relay provides a CT Ratio Correction Factor(R

C) which removes the need for auxiliary CTs when

the phase and neutral CT ratios are different.

When the system can supply zero sequence currentto the ground fault (such as when several generatorsare bussed together), the 87GD function operatesdirectionally. The directional element calculates theproduct (–3I

0INCosØ) for directional indication. The

relay will operate only if I0 (Zero sequence current

derived from phase CTs) and IN (Neutral current

from Neutral CT) have the opposite polarity, whichis the case for internal generator faults.

87GD PICKUP______________ Amps

87GD DELAY_____________ Cycles

87GD C.T. RATIO CORRECT________

A typical setting is 0.2 amps. (Relay amps = primary amps ÷ CTratio.) For higher values of R

C, noise may create substantial

differential current making higher pickup settings desirable.

CAUTION: Do NOT set the Delay to less than 2 Cycles.

In order to prevent mis-operation during external faults with CTsaturation conditions, a time delay of 6 cycles or higher isrecommended.

CT Ratio Correction Factor = (Phase CT Ratio)/(Neutral CT Ratio)

The advantage of directional supervision is thesecurity against ratio errors and CT saturation duringfaults external to the protected generator.

The directional element is inoperative if the residualcurrent (3I

0) is approximately less than 0.2 A, in

which case the algorithm automatically disables thedirectional element and the 87GD function becomesnon-directional differential. The pickup quantity isthen calculated as the difference between thecorrected triple zero-sequence current (R

C3I

0) and

the neutral current (IN). The magnitude of the

difference (RC3I

0–I

N) is compared to the relay pickup.

For security purposes during external high phase-fault currents causing CT saturation, this function isdisabled any time the value of I

N is less than

approximately 0.20 amps.

NOTE: When 87GD is enabled, 67N function isnot available.

Breaker MonitoringThe Breaker Monitoring feature calculates an estimateof the per-phase wear on the breaker contacts bymeasuring and integrating the current (IT) or currentsquared (I2T) passing through the breaker contactsduring the interruption period. The per-phase valuesare added to an accumulated total for each phase,and then compared to a user-programmed thresholdvalue. When the threshold is exceeded in any phase,the relay can operate a programmable output contact.The accumulated value for each phase can be displayed

Expanded Inputs IN7–IN14 (if equipped) must be set usingIPScom.

The accumulation continuesuntil the current drops below 10% of the nominalcurrent setting or 10 cycles, whichever occurs first.

Trip Circuit MonitoringExternal connections for the Trip Circuit Monitoringfunction are shown in Figure 2-73. The default TripCircuit Monitor input voltage is 250 V dc. See Section5.5, Circuit Board Switches and Jumpers, Table 5-3for other available trip circuit input voltage selections.

This function should be programmed to block whenthe breaker is open, as indicated by 52b contactinput (IN1). If the TCM is monitoring a lockout relay,a 86 contact input (INx) should be used to blockwhen the lockout relay is tripped.

When the Output Contact is open, and continuityexists in the Trip Circuit, a small current flows thatactivates the Trip Circuit Monitoring Input. If the TripCircuit is open, and the output contact is open, nocurrent flows and the Trip Circuit Monitoring Input is

When the Output Contact is closed, no current flowsin the Trip Circuit Monitoring Input. If the M-3425Ahas issued a trip command to close the OutputContact and Trip Circuit Monitoring Input remainsactivated, this is an indication that the Output Contactfailed to close.

The output of the Trip Circuit Monitoring function canbe programmed as an alarm to alert maintenancepersonnel.

IPSlogic™The relay provides six logic functions and associatedIPSlogic. The logic functions can be used to allowexternal devices to trip through the relay, providingadditional target information for the external device.More importantly, these functions can be used inconjunction with IPSlogic to expand the capabilityof the relay by allowing the user to define customizedoperating logic.

Programming the IPSlogic can only be implementedthrough IPScom® Communications Software.The IPSlogic cannot be programmed using theHuman-Machine Interface (HMI).

Settings and Logic Applicable whenIPSlogic™ Function(s) programmed usingIPScom®

There are four initiating input sources: InitiatingOutputs, Initiating Function Trips, Function Pickup(including the IPSlogic Functions themselves),Initiating Inputs, and initiation using theCommunication Port. The only limitation is that anIPSlogic Function may not be used to initiate itself.There are two blocking input sources: BlockingInputs and blocking using the Communication Port.

The activation state of the input function selected inthe Initiating Function can be either timeout (Trip) orpickup. The desired time delay for securityconsiderations can be obtained in the IPSlogicFunction time delay setting.

Notes:

1. This logic gate may be selected as either AND or OR.

2. This logic gate may be selected as AND, OR, NOR, or NAND.

Figure 2-76 IPSlogic Function Programing

The IPSlogic Function can be programmed toperform any or all of the following tasks:

• Change the Active Setting Profile

• Close an Output Contact

• Be activated for use as an input to anotherExternal Function

Since there are six IPSlogic Functions per settingprofile, depending on the number of different relaysettings defined, the scheme may provide up to 24different logic schemes. The IPScom IPSlogicFunction programming screen is shown inFigure 2-76.

Target & Status Indicators and ControlsThe target/status indicators and controls consist ofthe POWER SUPPLY (2) LEDs, RELAY OK LED,the OSCILLOGRAPH TRIG LED, BREAKERCLOSED LED, TARGET LED, DIAGNOSTIC LEDand TIME SYNC LED.

This chapter contains information that describes theoperation of the M-3931 Human Machine InterfaceModule (HMI) and the M-3925A Target module. Itfurther describes the direct setting and configurationprocedures for entering all required data to the relay.Included in this chapter is a description of the processnecessary for review of setpoints and timing, monitoringfunction status and metering quantities, viewing thetarget history, and setup of the oscillograph recorder.

3.1 Front Panel Controls

The relay has been designed to be set andinterrogated locally with the optional HMI panel. Anintegral part of this design is the layout and functionof the front panel indicators and controls, illustratedin Figure 3-1.

Alphanumeric DisplayTo assist the operator in setting and interrogatingthe relay locally, the HMI displays menus whichguide the operator to the desired function or setpointvalue. These menus consist of two lines. The bottomline lists lower case abbreviations of each menuselection with the chosen menu selection shown inuppercase. The top menu line provides a descriptionof the chosen menu selection.

Screen BlankingThe display will automatically blank after exiting fromthe Main Menu, or from any screen after five (5)minutes of unattended operation. To wake up thedisplay, the user must press any key except EXIT.

Power Supply #1 (#2) LEDThe green PS LED indicator will remain illuminatedfor the appropriate power supply whenever power isapplied to the unit and the power supply is operatingcorrectly. A second power supply is available as anoption, for units without expanded I/O.

Relay OK LEDThe green RELAY OK LED is controlled by therelay's microprocessor. A flashing RELAY OK LEDindicates proper program cycling. The LED can alsobe programmed to be continuously illuminated.

Oscillograph Triggered LEDThe red OSC TRIG LED will illuminate to indicatethat oscillographic data has been recorded in theunit’s memory and is available for download.

Breaker Closed LEDThe red BRKR CLOSED LED will illuminate to indicatewhen the breaker status input IN1 (52b) is open.

Target Indicators and Target ResetWhen a condition exists that causes the operationof outputs 1 through 8 (1 through 23 for units withexpanded I/O), the TARGET LED will illuminate,indicating a relay operation. The TARGET LED willremain illuminated until the condition causing thetrip is cleared, and the operator presses the TARGETRESET pushbutton. For units equipped with theoptional M-3925A Target Module, additional targetinginformation is available. The Target module includesan additional 24 target LEDs, and 8 output statusLEDs. LEDs corresponding to the particular operatedfunction as well as the present state of the outputsare available. Pressing and holding the TARGETRESET pushbutton will display the present pickupstatus of all functions available on the target module.This is a valuable diagnostic tool which may beused during commissioning and testing.

Time Sync LEDThe green TIME SYNC LED will illuminate to indicatethat the IRIG-B time signal is received and theinternal clock is synchronized with the IRIG-B timesignal. IRIG-B time information is used to accuratelytag target and oscillograph events.

Diagnostic LEDThe diagnostic DIAG LED will flash when a self-testerror is detected. The LED will flash the Error Codenumber; for example, for Error Code 32, the LED

will flash 3 times, followed by a short pause, andthen flash 2 times, followed by a long pause, thenrepeat LED flash sequence. For units equipped withthe HMI, the Error Code number is also displayedon the screen.

Accessing ScreensTo prevent unauthorized access to relay functions,the unit includes a provision for assigning accesscodes. If access codes have been assigned, theaccess code entry screen will be displayed afterENTER is pressed from the default message screen.

Default Message ScreensWhen power is applied to the unit, the relay performsa number of self-tests to ensure that it is operatingcorrectly. During the self-tests, the screen displaysan “X” for each test successfully executed.

If all self-tests are executed successfully, the relaywill briefly display the word PASS and then a seriesof status screens that include:

• Model Number

• Software Version Number

• Serial Number

• Date and time as set in the system clock

• User Logo Screen

If a test fails, an error code will be displayed and therelay will not allow operation to proceed. In such acase, the error code should be noted and the factorycontacted. A list of error codes and their descriptionsare provided in Appendix C, Error Codes.

When the relay has power applied and is unattended,the user logo lines are blanked.

If a function has operated and the targets have notbeen reset, the screen will display the time and dateof the operation and automatically cycle throughscreens for each applicable target (see Figure 3-2).Pressing the ENTER pushbutton will enter localmode operation, displaying the access code entryscreen or, if access codes have been disabled, thefirst level menu.

Figure 3-3 presents the software menu flow mapfor HMI-equipped units. This map can be used asa quick reference guide to aid in navigating therelay's menus.

2. Configure the Setup System data. Thisis the general system and equipmentinformation required for operation,including such items as CT and VT ratios,VT configuration, and Nominal values.See Section 3.4, Setup System Datasubsection.

3. Enable the desired functions andelements. See Section 3.4, ConfigureRelay Data subsection.

4. Enter the desired setpoints for theenabled functions. See Section 3.4,Setpoints and Time Settings subsection.

5. Enter configuration information for theoscillograph recorder. See Section 3.4,Oscillograph Recorder Data subsection.

6. If remote communication is used, setthe parameters as needed. See Section3.4, Communications Settingssubsection, or in Chapter 4, RemoteOperation.

3.3 Setup Unit Data

NOTE: Please see Figure 3-3, Main Menu Flow,for a list of submenus associated withthe SETUP UNIT menu.

To access the SETUP UNIT menu proceed asfollows:

1. Press the ENTER pushbutton to displaythe main menu.

2. Press the right arrow pushbutton untilSETUP UNIT is displayed on the topline of the screen.

3. Press the ENTER pushbutton to accessthe SETUP UNIT menu.


4. Press the ENTER pushbutton to movedown within the SETUP UNIT menu tothe desired category. To exit a specificcategory and continue to the next menucategory, press the EXIT pushbutton.

Setup Unit Data EntryThe general information required to complete theentry of Setup Unit Data includes:

Access Codes: The relay includes three levels ofaccess codes. Depending on their assigned code,users have varying levels of access to the installedfunctions.

1. Level 1 Access = Read setpoints,monitor status, view target history.

2. Level 2 Access = All of level 1 privileges,plus read & change setpoints, targethistory, set time clock.

3. Level 3 Access = All of level 2 privileges,plus access to all configuration functionsand settings.

Each access code is a user-defined one- to four-digit number. Access codes can only be altered bya level 3 user.

If the level 3 access code is set to 9999, theaccess code feature is disabled. When accesscodes are disabled, the access screens arebypassed, and all users have full access to all therelay menus. The relay is shipped from the factorywith the access code feature disabled.


3–6

User Control Number: This is a user-defined valuewhich can be used for inventory or identification.The relay does not use this value, but it can beaccessed through the HMI or the communicationsinterface, and can be read remotely.

User Logo: The user logo is a programmable, two-line by 24-character string, which can be used toidentify the relay, and which is displayed locallywhen the relay is idle. This information is alsoavailable remotely.

Date and Time: This screen is used to view and setthe relay's internal clock. The clock is used to timestamp system events such as trip and oscillographoperations.

The clock is disabled when shipped from the factory(indicated by “80” seconds appearing on the clock)to preserve battery life. If the relay is to beunpowered for an extended length of time, the clockshould be stopped (see Diagnostic Mode). If theIRIG-B interface is used, the hours, minutes, andseconds information in the clock will besynchronized with IRIG-B time information everyhour.

The relay can accept a modulated IRIG-B signalusing the rear panel BNC connector, or ademodulated TTL level signal using extra pins onthe rear panel COM2 RS-232 interface connector(see Figure B-4 for COM2 pinout.) If the TTL signalis to be used, then Jumper 5 will be required to bepositioned (see Section 5.5, Circuit Board Switchesand Jumpers).

Setup Unit Features That Do Not Require DataEntryThe Setup Unit menu categories that provide theuser with read only information are SoftwareVersion, Serial Number and Ethernet FirmwareVer..

The Setup Unit menu also contains features thatprovide the user with the ability to Clear OutputCounters, Clear Alarm Counter, Clear ErrorCodes and access the Diagnostic Mode. The errorcodes are described in Appendix C, Self Test ErrorCodes. Note that while the relay is in DiagnosticMode, all protective functions are inoperative.

This chapter is designed for the person or groupresponsible for the remote operation and setting ofthe relay using the M-3820D IPScomCommunications Software or other means.

4.1 Remote Operation

The M-3425A Generator Protection Relay providesthree serial communication ports and one ethernetport.

Serial Ports (RS-232)Two serial interface ports, COM1 and COM2, arestandard 9-pin, RS-232, DTE-configured ports. Thefront-panel port, COM1, can be used to locally setand interrogate the relay using a temporaryconnection to a PC or laptop computer. The secondRS-232 port, COM2, is provided at the rear of theunit. COM2 is unavailable for communications whenthe optional ethernet port is enabled. Thedemodulated IRIG-B may still be used via the COM2Port when ethernet is enabled.

The individual addressing capability of IPScom andthe relay allows multiple systems to share a director modem connection when connected throughCOM2 using a communications-line splitter (seeFigure 4-1). One such device enables 2 to 6 units toshare one communications line. Appendix B, FigureB-2 illustrates a setup of RS-232 Fiber Optic network.

Serial Port (RS-485)COM3 located on the rear terminal block of theM-3425A is an RS-485, 2-wire connection. AppendixB, Figure B-3 illustrates a 2-wire RS-485 network.

Individual remote addressing also allows forcommunications through a serial multidrop network.Up to 32 relays can be connected using the same2-wire RS-485 communications line.

Optional Ethernet PortThe M-3425A when equipped with the optionalEthernet Port can be accessed from a local network.When the ethernet port is enabled the COM2 serialport (RS-232) is unavailable for communications.Although the ethernet connection speed is fasterthan the RS-232 port (can be up to 10 Mbps), theethernet module connects internally through theCOM2 serial connection and is therefore limited toconnection speeds up to 9600 bps.

Either COM2, COM3 or Ethernet port may be used toremotely set and interrogate the relay using a localarea network, modem or other direct serial connection.Equipment such as RTU’s, data concentrators,modems, or computers can be interfaced for direct,on-line, real time data acquisition and control.Generally, all data available to the operator throughthe front panel of the relay with the optional M-3931HMI module is accessible remotely through the BECO2200, MODBUS, BECO 2200 over TCP/IP orMODBUS over TCP/IP data exchange protocols.

The communication protocols are used to fulfill thefollowing communications functions:

• Real-time monitoring of line status


• Downloading of recorded oscillograph data

• Reconfiguration of all relay functions

Protocol documents are available directly fromBeckwith Electric or from our websitewww.beckwithelectric.com.

Direct ConnectionIn order for IPScom to communicate with the relayusing direct serial connection, a serial “null modem”cable is required, with a 9-pin connector (DB9P) forthe system, and an applicable connector for thecomputer (usually DB9S or DB25S). Pin-outs for anull modem adapter are provided in Appendix B,Communications.

An optional 10 foot null modem cable (M-0423) isavailable from the factory, for direct connectionbetween a PC and the relay’s front panel COM port,or the rear COM2 port.

When fabricating communication cables, every effortshould be made to keep cabling as short as possible.Low capacitance cable is recommended. The RS-232standard specifies a maximum cable length of 50feet for RS-232 connections. If over 50 feet of cablelength is required, other technologies should beinvestigated.

Other communication topologies are possible usingthe M-3425A Generator Protection Relay. AnApplication Note, “Serial Communication withBeckwith Electric’s Integrated Protection SystemRelays” is available from the factory or from ourwebsite at www.beckwithelectric.com.

Ethernet Communication SettingsThe RJ45 ethernet port can be enabled utilizingeither IPSutil™ from the Ethernet Settings menu orfrom the HMI Communication menu. When theethernet port is enabled the COM2 Serial Port is notavailable for communications. The demodulatedIRIG-B may still be used via the COM2 Port whenethernet is enabled.

The following parameters must be set for properethernet communication:

DHCP Protocol

ENABLE: If the network server supports the DHCPprotocol the network server will assign the IPAddress, Net Mask and Gateway Address.

DISABLE: If the network server does not supportthe DHCP protocol or the user chooses to manuallyinput ethernet settings, then obtain the IP Address,Net Mask and Gateway address from the NetworkAdministrator and enter the settings.

ETHERNET ProtocolsSERCONV:To utilize the BECO2200 protocol overa TCP/IP connection select the SERCONV(BECO2200 TCP/IP) protocol. The IP Address ofthe relay must be entered in the IPScomCommunication screen. Also, ensure that the COM2protocol is selected to BECO2200 and the baudrate is set to 9600 bps.

Setting Up the M-3425A Generator ProtectionRelay for CommunicationThe initial setup of the relay for communicationmust be completed by utilizing the optional M-3931HMI Module or using direct serial connection.

For units shipped without the optional HMI Module,the communication parameters may be altered byfirst establishing communication using the defaultparameters and the IPSutil™ program.

IPSutil is an auxiliary program shipped on the samedisk with the IPScom® program. It is used exclusivelyfor altering communication and setup parameters onunits shipped without the M-3931 HMI Module.

Serial Communication SettingsThe following parameters must be set for properserial communication:

COM1 Baud Rate: Standard baud rates from 300 to9600 are available.

COM2 Baud Rate: Standard baud rates from 300 to9600 are available. COM2 and COM3 share thesame baud rate (see Section 5.5, Circuit BoardSwitches and Jumpers).

COM2 Dead Sync Time: This delay establishesthe line idle time to re-sync packet communication.Dead sync time should be programmed based onthe channel’s baud rate.

COM2 Protocol: BECO 2200 or MODBUS protocolis supported on COM2.

COM2 Parity: None, odd or even parity is availableif MODBUS protocol is selected.

COM2 Stop Bits: One or two stop bits available ifMODBUS protocol is selected.

COM3 Dead Sync Time: This delay establishesthe line idle time to re-sync packet communication.Dead sync time should be programmed based onthe channel’s baud rate.

COM3 Protocol: BECO 2200 or MODBUS protocolis supported on COM3.

COM3 Parity: None, odd or even parity is availableif MODBUS protocol is selected.

COM3 Stop Bits: One or two stop bits available ifMODBUS protocol is selected.

Communications Address: For multidrop networks,each device must have a unique address.

Response Time Delay: The extra time delay maybe added while the relay is sending the response. Ifset to 0, the response of the relay will be equal tothe time required to process the incoming packet(usually 20–80 ms.)

Installing the ModemsUsing IPScom to interrogate, set or monitor therelay using a modem requires both a remote modemconnected at the relay location and a local modemconnected to the computer with IPScom installed.

In order to use IPScom to communicate with therelay using a modem, the following must be providedwith the unit:

• An external modem (1200 baud or higher),capable of understanding standard ATcommands.

• Serial modem cable with 9-pin connectorfor the unit and the applicable connectorfor the modem.

NOTE: Any compatible modem may be used;however, the unit only communicates at1200 to 9600 baud.

Similarly, the computer running IPScom must alsohave access to an internal or external compatiblemodem.

The local modem can be initialized, using IPScom,by connecting the modem to the computer, andselecting the COMM menu in IPScom. SelectMODEM, enter the required information, and finallyselect INITIALIZE from the expandedCommunications dialog box. The following stepsoutline the initialized modem setup procedure.

1. Connecting the modem to the computer:a. If the computer has an external modem,

use a standard straight-through RS-232modem cable to connect the computerand modem (M-3933). If the computerhas an internal modem, refer to themodem’s instruction book to determinewhich communications port should beselected.

b. The modem must be attached to (ifexternal) or assigned to (if internal) thesame serial port as assigned in IPScom.While IPScom can use any of the fourserial ports (COM1 through COM4),most computers support only COM1and COM2.

c. Connect the modem to the telephoneline and power up.

2. Connecting the Modem to the Relay:Setup of the modem attached to the relaymay be slightly complicated. It involvesprogramming the parameters (using the ATcommand set), and storing this profile inthe modem’s nonvolatile memory.

After programming, the modem will powerup in the proper state for communicatingwith the relay. Programming may beaccomplished by using “Hyperterminal” orother terminal software. Refer to your modemmanual for further information.

NOTE: The relay does not issue or understandany modem commands. It will not adjustthe baud rate and should be considereda “dumb” peripheral. It communicateswith 1 start, 8 data, and 1 stop bit.

a. Connect the unit to an external modemby attaching a standard RS-232 modemcable to the appropriate serialcommunications port on both the unitand the modem.

b. Connect the modem to the telephoneline and power up.

The modem attached to the unit must have thefollowing AT command configuration:

E0 No EchoQ1 Don’t return result code&D3 On to OFF DTR, hang-up and reset&S0 DSR always on&C1 DCD ON when detectedS0=2 Answer on second ring

The following commands may also be required atthe modem:

&Q6 Constant DTE to DCEN0 Answer only at specified speedW Disable serial data rate adjust\Q3 Bi-directional RTS/CTS relay&B1 Fixed serial port rateS37 Desired line connection speed

There are some variations in the AT commandssupported by modem manufacturers. Refer to thehardware user documentation for a list of supportedAT commands and direction on issuing thesecommands.

• pointing device (mouse)

Installing IPScom1. Insert software CD-ROM into your drive.

An Auto-Install program will establish aprogram folder (Becoware) and subdirectory(IPScom). After installation, the IPScomprogram item icon (see Figure 4-3) islocated in Becoware. The default locationfor the application files is on drive C:, in thenew subdirectory “IPScom”(C:\Becoware\Ipscom).

2. If the Auto-Install program does not launchwhen the CD-ROM is inserted into the drivethen proceed as follows:

a. Select Run from the Start Menu.b. In the Run dialog box, locate the

installation file contained on theinstallation disk(sfi_m3425Acom_V______.exe).

c. Select Run to start the installationprocess.

Figure 4-3 IPScom Program Icon

Installing IPSutil™IPSutil is utility software used to program system-level parameters for units shipped without the M-3931HMI Module. The IPSutil.exe file is automaticallyinstalled in the Becoware folder, along with theIPScom files, and does not require separateinstallation.

4.3 Operation

Activating CommunicationsAfter the relay has been set up, the modemsinitialized, and IPScom installed, communication isactivated as follows:

1. Choose the IPScom icon from theBecoware folder.

2. The IPScom splash screen is displayedbriefly, providing the software versionnumber and copyright information. Thisinformation is also available by choosingthe About... command from the Help menu.

3. Choose the COMM menu selection.Complete the appropriate information onthe window for the relay to be addressed.a. If communication is through a modem,

choose the Modem command buttonto expand the communications dialogbox. Choose the desired relay locationand choose Dial button. This actionestablishes contact and automaticallyopens communication to the relay.

b. If computer is connected through thefront port, choose the Open COMbutton. This action establishescommunications.

4. Enter any valid IPScom command(s) asdesired.

5. To end communication whencommunicating by modem, choose the HangUp command button from the expandedCommunication dialog box. To close thecommunication channel when connectedlocally, choose the Close COM commandbutton.

OverviewWhen IPScom® is run, a menu and status bar isdisplayed, as shown in Figure 4-2. This sectiondescribes each IPScom menu selection and explainseach IPScom command in the same order as theyare displayed in the software program. For detailedinformation regarding each dialog box field (function),refer to Chapter 2, Application.

When starting IPScom, the initial menu choices arethe File menu or the Comm menu. The choicespecifies whether the operator desires to write to adata file or to communicate directly with the relay.

File Menu

The File menu enables the user to create a newdata file, open a previously created data file, close,print, and save the file. The IPScom program canalso be exited through the File menu.

Since IPScom can be used with several Beckwithprotection systems in addition to the M-3425AGenerator Protection Relay, the format and contentsof a file must be established depending on whichprotective system is being addressed. When notconnected to one of the protection systems, usingthe New command, a new file is established withthe System Type dialog box (see Figure 4-4). Choicesfor Unit Type in the System Type Screen includeM-3425, M-3425A, M-3425A(SOE) and M-3425AExpanded I/O. The selected Unit Type ensures thatthe “New” file is consistant with the protective systemfirmware version (Table 4-2). Choosing the OKcommand button allows the new data file to beopened. Selecting Save or Save As commandsallows the file to be named and saved.

NOTE: By choosing the NEW command, unitand setpoint configuration values arebased on factory settings specified forthe profiled protection system.

Figure 4-4 System Type Dialog BoxPath: File menu / New command

COMMAND BUTTONS

OK Allows the selected Unit Type File to beopened.

Cancel Returns you to the IPScom main screen;any changes to the displayed informationis lost.

The Save and Save As... commands allow re-saving a file or renaming a file, respectively. TheOpen command allows opening a previously createddata file. With an opened data file, use the Relay...Setup... menu items to access the setpointwindows.

If communication can be established with a relay, itis always safer to use the Read Data From Relaycommand to update the PC’s data file with therelay data. This file now contains the proper systemtype information, eliminating the need to set theinformation manually.

The Print and Printer Setup commands allow userto select printer options and print out all setpointdata from the data file or directly from the relay, if arelay is communicating with the PC.

The Exit command quits the IPScom program.

Comm Menu

HelpWindowFile RelayComm

The Communication dialog box (see Figure 4-5)allows setup of the IPScom communication data tocoordinate with the relay and by choosing theModem button, to establish contact for remotelocations. When communicating by way of a fiberoptic loop network, echo cancelling is available bychecking the Echo Cancel box. This commandmasks the sender’s returned echo.

If the modem was not used to establishcommunication (direct connection), press the OpenCOM button to start. If the relay has a defaultcommunication access code of 9999, a messagewindow will be displayed showing Access Level #3was granted. Otherwise, another dialog box willappear to prompt the user to enter the access codein order to establish the communication. CloseCOM discontinues communication.

The Set Date/Time command (see Figure 4-16)allows the system date and time to be set, orsystem clock to be stopped. This dialog box alsodisplays an LED mimic to identify when the TimeSync is in use (preventing date/time from beingchanged by user).

Figure 4-16 Unit Date/Time Dialog Box

Path: Relay menu/ Setup submenu/ Set Date/TimeCommand

There is a blue Time Sync LED mimic in this dialogbox (the LED is displayed as different shading on amonochrome monitor). When this LED is blue, therelay is synchronized with the IRIG-B signal and theTime field is grayed out, indicating that this fieldcan’t be changed. But the Date field can be changed(by editing and pressing Save).

When the LED is not blue, the relay is not time-synchronized and therefore, both the Date and Timefields can be changed.

4.5 Cautions

System and IPScom® CompatibilityEvery attempt has been made to maintaincompatibility with previous software versions. Insome cases (most notably with older protectionsystems), compatibility cannot be maintained. Ifthere is any question about compatibility, contactthe factory.

System PrioritySystem conflicts will not occur, as local commandsinitiated from the front panel receive priorityrecognition. When the unit is in local mode,communication using the serial ports is suspended.IPScom displays an error message to indicate thisfact.

Time and Date StampingTime and date stamping of events is only as usefulas the validity of the unit’s internal clock. Under theRelay menu, the Set Date/TIme command allowsyou to manually set the unit’s clock.

Echo CancelThe Echo Cancel check box, under the Commmenu, should only be used when several relays areconnected using a fiber optic loop network.Otherwise, echo cancel must not be selected orcommunication will be prevented.

Serial Port ConnectionsIf the serial port is connected to something otherthan a modem, and an IPScom modem commandis executed, the results are unpredictable. In somecases, the computer may have to be reset.

System SetupConnect a null modem cable from COM1 of therelay to the PC serial port. IPSutil supports COM1port direct connection only. Modem connection isnot supported. IPSutil is not supported throughCOM2 or COM3 ports of the relay.

OverviewIPSutil helps in setting up IPS relays which wereordered without the optional front panel HMI interface.Units delivered without HMI’s are shipped with a setof factory default settings for various parametersthat the end user may wish to change. While theutility program is directed to users that do not haveHMI, users of HMI-provided relays can also useIPSutil to set various parameters. When IPSutil isstarted, a warning window appears:

Figure 4-37 Warning Message

After the user accepts the warning, the user canaccess the IPSutil main menu. The following sectionsdescribe each IPSutil menu items.

Comm Menu

The Comm menu allows the user to makeconnections to the relay. This is the first commandthe user must use to access the unit. After the userselects the Connect submenu item, theCommunications dialog box appears (See Figure4-41).

• Select the correct PC communication portwhere the null modem cable is connectedfor the relay.

• Select the baud rate of the relay. Factorydefault is 9600 baud.

• Select the access code resident in therelay. Factory default is 9999.

• Select “Open com”.

The following message window will be displayedshowing COM opened. Now, the title bar will displaythe relay model and the software version.

The Exit submenu allows you to quit IPSutil. If therelay was connected, this submenu disconnectsthe relay. When the relay was connected, if youhave made any changes for some parameters (forexample, baud rate, phase rotation) the followingmessage window appears.

Figure 4-38 IPSutility Reset Relay Message

Relay Comm CommandWhen Relay Comm command is selected, theRelay Comm Port Settings dialog box appears (SeeFigure 4-42). It allows you to set the relaycommunication ports COM1 or COM2/COM3 baudrate. For COM2/COM3, it allows you to set theprotocol and dead synch time. Additionally, forCOM2 and COM3, if you select MODBUS protocol,the dialog box allows you to enable the parityoption.

NOTE: If COM1 baud rate is changed and therelay is reset, the new baud rate must beused to communicate with COM1

Ethernet CommandWhen the Ethernet command is selected, theEthernet Settings dialog box appears (see Figure4-43.) This command allows the user to enable ordisable the ethernet connection and enable/setprotocols.

Clock CommandWhen the Clock command is selected, the “SetUnit Date/Time” dialog box appears (See Figure4-44). Date and Time can be changed and sent tothe relay. This dialog box allows you to start or stopthe clock in the relay.

6.1 Equipment/Test Setup

No calibration is necessary, as the M-3425AGenerator Protection Relay is calibrated and fullytested at the factory. If calibration is necessarybecause of a component replacement, follow theauto calibration procedure detailed in Section 6.4,Auto Calibration (or see Section 4.7, Calibrationsubsection for units without an HMI). These testprocedures are based on the prerequisite that thefunctions are enabled and have settings as describedin Chapter 2, Application, and that the unit is fittedwith the optional HMI module.

Equipment RequiredThe following equipment is required to carry out thetest procedures:

1. Two Digital Multimeters (DMM) with 10A current range.

2. 120 V ac or 0 to 125 V dc variablesupply for system power.

3. Three-phase independent voltage sources(0 to 250 V) variable phase to simulateVT inputs.

4. Three-phase independent current sources(0 to 25 A) variable phase to simulateCT inputs.

5. Electronic timer accurate to at least 8ms.

6. For relays with the 64F/B option:

a. Resistor decade box capable of 500ohms to 150 kOhms, able to step in100 ohm increments.

b. Capacitors ranging from 0.15 mf to10 mf.

7. For relays with the 64S option:

a. 20 Hz Voltage Generator (variable) 0to 40 V.

b. 20 Hz Current Generator (variable) 0to 40 mA.

Setup1. Connect system power to the power input

terminals 62 (hot) and 63 (neutral). Therelay can be ordered with a nominal inputpower supply of 110/120/230/240 Vac,110/125/220/250 Vdc or 24/48 Vdc. Anoptional redundant power supply isavailable.

NOTE: The proper voltage for the relay is clearlymarked on the power supply label affixedto the rear panel.

2. For each test procedure, connect thevoltage and current sources accordingto the configuration listed in the testprocedure and follow the steps outlined.

6–3

Testing – 6

NOTE: The phase angles shown here use leading angles as positive and lagging angles as nega-tive. Some manufacturers of test equipment have used lagging angles as positive, in which caseVB=120 V a120° and VC=120 V a240°. Similarly other voltages and currents phase angles shouldbe adjusted. These test configurations are for ABC phase rotation. They must be adjusted appropriate-ly for ACB phase rotation.

6.2 Functional Test Procedures

This section details test quantities, inputs andprocedures for testing each relay function. Thepurpose is to confirm the functions’ designatedoutput operation, the accuracy of the magnitudepickup settings, and the accuracy of time delaysettings. Whereas the first test described, “PowerOn Self Test”, does not require electrical quantityinputs, all other functional tests do require inputs,and the necessary connection configurations arenoted.

In all test descriptions, a process for calculatinginput quantities to test the actual settings of thefunction will be given if needed. Disable all otherfunctions not being tested at the time. This action isto prevent the operation of multiple functions withone set of input quantities, which could causeconfusion of operation of outputs or timers. Thecomplete description of the method to disable/enablefunctions may be found in detail in Section 3.2,Initial Setup Procedure/Settings, Configure RelayData subsection or Chapter 4, Remote Operation.The complete description of the method to installsetting quantities may be found in Section 3.4,System Data, Setpoints and Time Settingssubsection.

It is desirable to record and confirm the actualsettings of the individual functions before beginningtest procedures. Use Figure A-3, FunctionalConfiguration Record Form and Figure A-4, Setpoint& Timing Record Form, found in Appendix A,Configuration Record Forms, to record settings. Itis also possible to download the relay settings intoa file using IPScom®.

It may be desirable to program all test settings in analternate profile, or to save the relay settings inIPScom to preserve desired setup.

The tests are described in this section in ascendingfunction number order as used in Chapter 2,Application.

NOTE: User should disable all functions notcurrently being tested before beginningany function test.

During the lifetime of the relay, testing of individualfunctions due to changes in application settings willbe more likely than an overall testing routine. Anindex of the individual test procedures is illustratedat the beginning of this chapter.

NOTE: Care must be taken to reset or enableany functions that have been changedfrom their intended application settingswhen the test procedures are complete.

Many options for test sequences and methods arepossible. As an example, the operation of the outputcontacts can be tested along with the operation ofthe LEDs in the Diagnostic Test Procedures. Theoperation of the output contacts may also beconfirmed with the LED and function operation duringFunctional Test Procedures, if desired.

If timer quantities are to be checked, the timer mustbe activated by the appropriate output contacts.The contact pin numbers are enumerated in Table6-1, Output Contacts.

It is suggested that copies of the following be madefor easy referral during test procedures:

AAppendix A – Configuration Record Forms

This Appendix contains photocopy–ready forms forrecording the configuration and setting of theM-3425A Generator Protection Relay. The formscan be supplied to field service personnel forconfiguring the relay, and kept on file for futurereference.

A copy of the Relay Configuration Table (TableA-1) is provided to define and record the blockinginputs and output configuration. For each function;check the D (disabled) column or check the outputcontacts to be operated by the function, and checkthe inputs designated to block the function operation.

Figure A-2, Communication Data & Unit SetupRecord Form reproduces the Communication andSetup unit menus. This form records definition ofthe parameters necessary for communication withthe relay, as well as access codes, user logo lines,date & time setting, and front panel display operation.

Figure A-3, Functional Configuration Record Formreproduces the Configure Relay menus. For eachfunction or setpoint, refer to the configuration youhave defined using the Relay Configuration Table,and circle whether it should be enabled or disabled,the output contacts it will activate, and the inputsthat will block its operation.

Figure A-4, Setpoint & Timing Record Form allowsrecording of the specific values entered for eachenabled setpoint or function. The form follows themain menu selections of the relay.

Unpurchased or unavailable functions will not bevisible within the menus. If a function is DISABLED,the input/output screens for that function will not bedisplayed.

KEY TO INPUT DATA RECORD FORMS

A. All heavily bordered screens are either MENU screens which have horizontal choices(made with right - left arrows) or screens displaying a result of a choice previously made.

B. Dashed boxes enclose screens which bound areas that pushbutton ENTER willmove in. In order to move out of one of the dotted boxes it is necessary to either push EXIT ormake a menu choice change using the Right - Left arrow.

C. The Up/Down arrows only adjust value or letter (lower/upper case) inputs; they do not move withinthe menus or between menu displays.

D. The Right/Left arrows are used only to make horizontally displayed choices. These can be eithermenu choices or input value digit choices. The previous choice or location in a menu is highlightedimmediately.

E. The ENTER pushbutton records the setting change (whatever is in that screen when ENTER ispressed will be installed in memory) and moves down within a menu. The operator will notice thatafter the last menu item, ENTER moves to the top of the same menu but does not change menupositions.

F. Pressing EXIT at any time will exit the display screen to the last screen containing a horizontalchoice. (Return to the preceding menu).

Figure A-1 Human-Machine Interface Module

G. The symbol or in a screen indicates additional horizontal menu choices are available in theindicated direction. As previously described, the Right and Left arrows will move the operator tothose additional choices.

NOTE: Unpurchased or unavailable functions will not be visible within the menus.

Communications: Appendix – B

B–1

B Appendix B–Communications

The M-3425A Generator Protection Relayincorporates three serial ports and an optional RJ45Ethernet port for intelligent, digital communicationwith external devices. Equipment such as RTU's,data concentrators, modems, or computers can beinterfaced for direct, on-line, real time data acquisitionand control. Generally, all data available to theoperator through the front panel of the relay with theoptional M-3931 Human-Machine Interface moduleis accessible remotely through the BECO 2200 orMODBUS data exchange protocol. These protocoldocuments and the database-specific protocoldocument are available from the factory or from ourwebsite at www.beckwithelectric.com.

The M-3820D IPScom® Communication Softwarepackage has been supplied for communication toany IBM compatible computer running underMicrosoft® Windows 95 or higher.

The communication protocols implement serial, byteoriented, asynchronous communication and can beused to fulfill the following communications functions:

• Real time monitoring of line status.

• Interrogation and modification of setpoints.

• Downloading of recorded oscillograph data.

• Reconfiguration of relay functions.

NOTE: The following restrictions apply forMODBUS protocol use:

1. MODBUS protocol is not supported onCOM1.

2. Parity is supported on COM2 and COM3;valid selections are 8,N,2; 8,O,1; 8,E,1;8,N,1; 8,O,2 or 8,E,2.

3. ASCII mode is not supported (RTU only).

4. Standard baud rates from 300 to 9600are supported.

5. Only the following MODBUS commandsare supported:

a. read holding register (function 03)

b. read input register (function 04)

c. force single coil (function 05)

d. preset single register (function 06)

For detailed information on IPScom communications,refer to Chapter 4, Remote Operation.

Serial PortsThe relay has both front and rear panel RS-232 portsand a rear RS-485 port. The front and rear panelRS-232 ports are 9-pin (DB9S) connector configuredas DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) per the EIA-232D standard. Signals are defined in Table B-1,Communication Port Signals .

The 2-wire RS-485 port is assigned to the rear panelterminal block pins 3 (–) and 4 (+).

Each communication port may be configured tooperate at any of the standard baud rates (300,600, 1200, 2400, 4800, and 9600). The RS-485port shares the same baud rate with COM 2 (forCOM1 see Section 5.4, Circuit Board Switches andJumpers).

A null modem cable is also shown in Figure B-1, NullModem Cable: M-0423, if direct connection to a PC(personal computer) is desired.

Optional Ethernet PortThe M-3425A, when equipped with the optionalEthernet port can be accessed from a local network.When the ethernet port is enabled, the COM2 serialport (RS-232) is unavailable for communications.The demodulated IRIG-B may still be used via theCOM2 Port when ethernet is enabled. Although theethernet connection speed is faster than the RS-232port (can be up to 10 Mbps), the ethernet moduleconnects internally through the COM2 serialconnection and is therefore limited to connectionspeeds up to 9600 bps.

Either port COM2 (Ethernet) or COM3 may be usedto remotely set and interrogate the relay using alocal area network, modem or other direct serialconnection.

CAUTION: Due to the possibility of ground potential difference between units, all units should be mountedin the same rack. If this is not possible, fiber optics with the appropriate converters should be used forisolation.

NOTE: Each address on the network must be unique. Only the last physical slave on the network shouldhave the termination resistor installed. This may be completed externally or using a jumper internalto the unit. See Section 5.5, Circuit Board Switches and Jumpers.

Appendix E – Layup and Storage

E–1

Appendix E includes the recommended storageparameters, periodic surveillance activities and layupconfiguration for the M-3425A Generator ProtectionRelay.

Storage Requirements (Environment)The recommended storage environment parametersfor the M-3425A are:

• The ambient temperature where theM-3425A is stored is within a range of 5°C to 40° C

• The maximum relative humidity is lessthan or equal to 80% for temperatures upto 31° C, decreasing to 31° C linearly to50% for relative humidity at 40° C.

• The storage area environment is free ofdust, corrosive gases, flammablematerials, dew, percolating water, rain andsolar radiation.

Storage Requirements (Periodic SurveillanceDuring Storage)The M-3425A power supply contains electrolyticcapacitors. It is recommended that power be appliedto the relay (PS1 and optional PS2 redundant powersupply when installed and PS2 on extended outputunits) every three to five years for a period of notless than one hour to help prevent the electrolyticcapacitors from drying out.

Layup ConfigurationThe M-3425A includes a removable lithium batterybacked TIMEKEEPER® module (Beckwith Electriccomponent U25, Figure 5-17). The TIMEKEEPERmodule is the M-3425A real-time clock and alsoprovides power to the unit’s nonvolatile memorywhen power is not applied to the unit.

E Appendix – Layup and Storage

Layup of the M-3425A requires verifying that thesystem clock is stopped. The steps necessary toverify system clock status are as follows:

CAUTION: Do not use the diagnostic mode inrelays that are installed in an active protectionscheme.

For units with the optional HMI panel:

1. Verify that the Power Supply (PS) fusesare installed.

2. Determine the unit power supply ratingby observing the check box below thePS terminals on the rear of the unit.

3. Apply power to the unit consistant withthe rating determined in Step 2 (seeSection 5.3 , External Connections). Theunit will enter the selftest mode.

4. When the selftests are complete, thenpress ENTER to begin main menu.

5. Press the right arrow pushbutton untilSETUP UNIT is displayed.

6. Press ENTER to access the SETUPUNIT menu.

7. Press the right arrow pushbutton untilDIAGNOSTIC MODE is displayed.

8. Press ENTER. A reset warning will bedisplayed:


WARNING: All relay functions and protectionwill be inoperative while the relay is in diagnosticmode.

9. Press ENTER. Unit will now reset andDIAGNOSTIC MODE will be temporarilydisplayed, followed by OUTPUT TEST(RELAY). This is the beginning of thediagnostic menu.

CLOCK TEST com1 com2 com3 CLOCK

11. Press ENTER. The following isdisplayed:

CLOCK TEST03-JAN-1998 09:00:00.000

12. If the clock is running, press ENTER tostop the clock. The following isdisplayed:

CLOCK TEST-CLOCK STOP-

NOTE: When the relay clock is stopped, theseconds will be displayed as 80.

13. Press ENTER and verify the relay clockis stopped. A display similar to thefollowing is shown with the secondsstopped:

CLOCK TEST03-JAN-09:01:80.000

14. When the clock has been verified to bestopped, then press EXIT until thefollowing message appears:

PRESS EXIT TOEXIT DIAGNOSTIC MODE

15. Press EXIT again to exit DIAGNOSTICMODE. The relay will reset and normalrunning mode will resume.

NOTE: Pressing any button other than EXIT willreturn the user to DIAGNOSTIC MODE.

16. Remove power from the unit. The unitcan now be placed in storage.

For units without the optional HMI panel:

1. Verify that the Power Supply (PS) fusesare installed.

2. Determine the unit power supply ratingby observing the check box(s) below thePS terminals on the rear of the unit.

3. Apply power to the unit consistant withthe rating determined in Step 2 (seeSection 5.3 , External Connections). Theunit will enter the selftest mode.

4. Install IPScomTM CommunicationsSoftware (see Section 4.2, Installationand Setup) on a PC that includes thefollowing:

• Microsoft WindowsTM 95 OperatingSystem or above

• Equipped with a serial port

5. Connect a null modem cable from COM1of the relay to the PC serial port.

6. Open communications with the relay (seeSection 4.3 Operation, ActivatingConnections).

7. Select “Relay/Setup/Set Date/Time” fromthe menu bar. IPScom will display the “UnitDate/Time Dialog Screen” Figure 4-16.

8. Verify that “Start Clock” is displayed,then proceed as follows:

a. If “Start Clock” is displayed, thenselect “Save” and go to Step 9.

b. If “Stop Clock” is displayed, thenselect “Stop Clock” and then select“Save”.

9. Close communications with the unit byselecting “Comm” from the menu barand then select “Exit”.

10. Disconnect the null modem cable andthen remove power from the unit. Theunit can now be placed in storage.

Storage of the M-3425A greater than five yearsmay require replacement of the lithium battery priorto placing the unit in service. Contact BeckwithElectric Customer Service for replacementprocedure.
