Chapter 1. Description

The equipment referred to as 1RTN consists of a family of integrated systems constituted by


digital devices based in a powerful microprocessor. This equipment incorporates different
functions for Voltage Regulation in Power Transformers through the control of their Tap
Changers.
1RTN systems are used to keep the voltage within a constant value, without interrupting the
service, by actuating on the tap changer of the Power Transformers.

1.1

Functions

1.1.1

Voltage Regulation

The equipment measures the Transformers Output Voltage and Current. After each
measurement, the equipment performs a series of checks in order to determine whether any
order need to be sent to the Tap Changer or to remain in Lockout Status. The command
generation is dependent on a time characteristic. This time characteristic accounts for the
Voltage Deviation Value, and the settings of the Threshold Value and the Time Factor.
Through this equipment, manual tap changes can be performed, both locally and remotely.

1.1.2

Remote Control of the Rated Voltage

The level of the Set Value can be modified Locally or Remotely, whenever it is permitted. The
Rated Voltage is given in kV. Associated to the remote change of the Set Value, the equipment
generates a dc signal within the 0 - 5 mA range, which is proportional to the established Rated
Voltage.

1.1.3

Suppression of Time Delay in Operations

In order to reduce the overvoltages, in operations such as the connection or disconnection of


capacitor banks, the equipment has the option of eliminating the operation Time Delay. The
Time Delay can be suppressed by monitoring the voltage signal in comparison with a setting
(when the tension rises above the Voltage Setpoint) or by activation of a Digital Input. In both
cases, the tap changer command is generated instantaneously.

1.1.4

Changing the Compound Slope

The equipment includes the option of modifying the compensation slope to anticipate situations
where the parallel connection of a second Transformer reduces to one half the output current of
the first one while maintaining the same load at the busbars output.
The purpose of maintaining the voltage of the busbar to which the secondary of the Power
Transformer respond to the necessity of maintaining constant voltage load. Voltage drop
between the load and the Transformer depends on the current supplied by the Transformer.
The 1RTN measures the circulating current value and compensate (compound) the voltage
drop from the Power Transformer to the load connection.

1.1.5

Reactive Power Compound

When two Transformers with different Tap / Voltage Ratios are located in parallel in the same
installation, a reactive power flux occurs between them. The 1RTN measures the voltage
unbalance produced by both Transformers and takes it into account for the Reference Voltage
calculation.

RTN: Transformer Voltage Regulator
ZIV GRID AUTOMATION, S. L. Zamudio, 2011

Chapter 1. Description

1.1.6

Tap Control

Manual commands to Raise / Lower the Tap can be performed.

1.1.7

Auto / Manual and Local / Remote Operation

Voltage Regulation function can be selected between Auto / Manual, Local / Remote.

1.1.8

Regulator Lockout

Under certain circumstances, the equipment can remain in a blocked status. This status can be
intentionally provoked either Locally or Remotely.

1.1.9

Self-checking Function

Incorporates a self-checking function which cyclically verifies that the program is being executed
correctly.

1.1.10

Tap Changers Monitoring and Signalling (1RTN-D and 1RTN-E)

Monitoring is carried out on the tap where the Regulator is positioned. After a tap change takes
place, a mAs output is generated to display the tap position Remotely. The 1RTN also indicates
situations of Tap Discordance and Monitoring of Tap-changer Command.

1.1.11

Voltage Band Recording

The equipment is geared with a Voltage Recording. The voltage is monitored within 4 operating
bands, where the limits are defined by the user. From each band, the time when the voltage
comes in and comes out as well as when it reaches the extreme tap is recorded.

1.2

Additional Functions

Optical Indication

The optical indication consists of thirteen LEDs, twelve of them configurable and the remaining
shows the Ready indication. The list of the available indications are defined in Chapter 6.

Digital Inputs

The equipment incorporates 8 digital inputs. Chapter 6 describes the list of available inputs.
Model 1RTN-D incorporates 30 additional digital inputs to monitor the Transformer Taps. Model
1RTN-E (equipment with Tap Changes Monitoring and BCD format inputs to detect Tapchanger Position) incorporates 6 additional digital inputs to monitor the Transformer Taps.

Auxiliary Contact Outputs

Eight auxiliary output contacts (seven of them are configurable). The available outputs of the
equipment are defined in Chapter 6.

Chapter 6. Description of Operation

6.1

General

The main objective of the Voltage Regulation terminals (1RTN) is to maintain the voltage on the
Substations Power Transformer Secondary within the preset limits, actuating over the
Transformer's Tap Changer whenever necessary.
The 1RTN equipment measures the voltage and compares it with the Set Value (or the desired
value, if there is compound effect) when the difference between the Measured Value and the
Set Value exceeds the pre-defined Degree of Sensitivity, a command is sent to the Tap
Changer to Raise or Lower the Tap according to the sign of the calculated voltage difference.

DV(%)= Vd (%) - Vm (%)


There is a setting that allows the Voltage / Tap Ratio to be inverted. If this relation is direct, a
voltage increment corresponds to a Tap Raise and therefore, a negative difference provokes a
Command to Lower Tap. The opposite occurs if the relation is inverse; i.e., a Transformer
where Raise Tap implies Raise Voltage, the ratio will be direct. Tap 1 has lower voltage than the
last tap.
The Raise and Lower Tap Commands are performed by closing the corresponding contacts
during three seconds. These contacts are not configurable. The Raise Tap contact will always
Raise the Tap independently of the Setting Direct or Inverse Ratio.
In models with Tap Monitoring and Signalling, a second order can occur, if, when Operation
Time Failure terminates, the Tap Change has not occurred. After this second command, and
after the new operation time has elapsed, if the Tap Change in the equipment has not occurred,
the equipment goes into Locking Mode for Internal Fault and in Manual Operation. In models
without Tap Monitoring however, the Command to Raise or Lower Tap can be given an
infinite number of times until the tension is within the required interval. Time elapsed between
commands is the Delay Time when the Fast Return Voltage has not be reached. In case that
tension has been reached, the first command would be given in an immediate mode while the
time between successive orders is fixed and equal to 12s.

The Minimum Value for the Time Delay is 10s; i.e. for values obtained in the anterior formula

For example, if the Degree of Insensitivity is 1%, GI equals 1.
Absolute Value of the calculated Voltage Difference, in percentage of the Rated
Voltage (difference between the Desired Value (Vd) corrected by the
Compensation, and the Measured Value [Vm]). The deviation equation is
therefore as follows:

DV(%) = Vd (%) Vm (%)


6.2.1

Current Compensation

The reason for maintaining the voltage even on the bus where the Power Transformers
Secondary is connected is due to the need to keep constant the voltage at the load side. Since
the voltage drop between the load and the Transformer depends on the current supplied by the
Transformer, the 1RTN must take into account the flowing current and compensate the voltage
drop between the Transformer and the Load Connection.
There is a Setting referred to as Current Compensation, which modifies the Desired Voltage
Value on the bus by adding to the Set Value, the calculated Compensation Value, according to
the Measured Current and the Compensation Setting. The Set Value is calculated as follows:

Vdesired = Vtarget + k c I metered


Where:

described in the following equations:

Vd (%) =

K c = c
Vn
I n 100

By substitution of these values in the general equation, you obtain the following equation:

Vd (%) = Vc (%) + K c (%)

Im
In

Once the Desired Value has been obtained, the difference will be calculated considering this
value instead of the Set Value. In other words, the Set Value coincides with the Desired Value
when there is no compensation, because either the current or the Compensation Setting are
zero.

6.2.1.a

Transformers Parallel Connection

When there are Two Power Transformers connected to the same bus, the distribution of current
between them is approximately the same, equivalent to one half of the current when there is
only one. For this reason, if no further action is taken, the Current Compensation would be
only half of what is necessary.
To avoid this situation, the 1RTN equipment includes a Digital Input (Double Compensation
Slope), which activation reports to the Regulation function that the Power Transformers are
operating in parallel. Under those conditions, the Desired Value is calculated using a
Compensation Value (kc) which is double of the setting, to compensate for the Different Current
Distribution.

6.2.1.b

Line Drop Compensation

For wind farm applications, owing to Line Voltage Drop between Wind Power Generators and
Substation Busbars, the Wind Power Generators must keep the voltage above the Busbar
Voltage. In principle, 1RTN is designed for Voltage Regulation of grid Step-up Transformers and
with the Busbar Set Point equal to that of the Generator, so that at full load, the Wind Power
Generators may yield voltages exceeding their limits.
As a possible solution for this problem, the 1RTN can set the Line Drop Compensation Constant
(Kc) to negative values (depending on model), so as to keep constant the Wind Power
Generators Voltage at the expense of reducing the Busbar Voltage when the load increases.

Chapter 6. Description of Operation

6.2.2

Reactive Compensation

In certain occasions, in the same installation could be two Transformers with different
Tap/Voltage Increments Ratio. If those Transformers were not in parallel, they would develop a
different voltage in their secondary for a similar primary voltage and equal characteristics of
vacuum impedance and short-circuit. This is the case because the inequality of the
Tap/Voltage Ratio makes it impossible to locate them in Tap Values that equal its Transformer
Ratio. When the secondary circuits of the Transformers are connected in parallel, both are
forced to maintain the same voltage and, as a consequence, a reactive power flux appears
between both Transformers, that will be greater the bigger the difference between two
Transformer ratios.
This flow of reactive power means that one of the Transformers is forced to generate more
reactive power than what is consumed by the load and that is absorbed by the other
Transformer. The purpose of Reactive Compensation is to minimize tap difference between
both Transformers, and reduce that way the generated reactive flux.
The application of the Reactive Compensation is subject to the activation of a Digital Input
(Transformers operating in parallel) indicating that both Transformers are connected in
parallel. This input is different from the one described for the current compensation.
For a correct joint operation, the unbalance between the Reactive Power supplied by both
Transformers will be measured and it will be taken into account for the calculation of the desired
value. This will be modified according to the mentioned unbalance, per the following expression.

Vdesired = Vtarget + k r I reactive

To obtain the Reactive Current Unbalance, each of the Regulators associated to each
Transformer will measured the current flowing through the other Transformer.

The equation that defines the Reactive Current Unbalance is as follows:

I r = I m sen( m - 150 ) - I r sen( r - 150 )


Where s m and r are the angles
between Im and Ir and voltage. For the
calculation of Ir , the circuit
equivalent to the two Transformer
should be considered. The circuit
equivalent to the Two Single-Phase
Transformer in Parallel is shown on
the right.

The value of the Kr constant has to be the value that prevents further tap changes when the
reactive flux is at his minimum value, according to the calculations.

6.2.3

Combined Compensation

Until now, the two types of Compensations applied separately to the Set Value by the 1RTN to
obtain the Desired Value have been described. However, in general, both compensations will
be simultaneously applied. In this case, the calculation of the Desired Value will be performed
the following way:

V desired = Vtarget + k c I metered + k r I reactive


Where the meaning of each term has been described above.

6.2.4

Maximum Compensation

In the Regulation-Compensation Setting Group, there is a Setting of Maximum


Compensation, that limits the Voltage Compensation to a Set Value, in such a way that if the
sum of the Compensations of Current and Reactive, or each one individually, exceed that
value of Maximum Compensation, this last value of compensation is used for the calculation
of the Desired Voltage value.

6.2.5

Examples of Calculation

We shall select the following settings:


VSETPOINT=100%
KC=5%
KR=2.5%
GI=1%
FT=1s
And the following values of current metering, or current and reactive metering:

I m = 1A/210
I r = 5A/180
With these data you get the following value for the Unbalance of Reactive Current:

I r = 1 sen(210 - 150) - 5 sen(180 - 150) = 0.866 - 2.5 = -1.633


If both Compensation Values are applied, one obtains the following Desired Value:

Vd (%) = 100 +

5 1 2.5 ( 1.633)
+
= 92.835%
5
0.1 5

If the equipment measures for example a 113 Vac voltage, Voltage Deviation is:

DV(%) = 92.835 -

113 100
= 9.89%
110

This value exceeds the Degree of Insensibility. The Regulator will therefore send an Order to
Change Tap for which the deviation sign will be considered.
The calculated Time Delay being therefore:

Tdelay =

1 30 1

As that time is shorter than 10s, operation time is 10s.

Cancellation of the Time Delay Operation

Operation of the Time Delay can be cancelled for two reasons; the Measured Voltage goes
above the Fast Reverse Voltage or the Input of Timer Cancellation is activated. In both
cases, the Order to Change Tap is sent instantaneously, with total independence of the
calculated Time Delay.

Chapter 6. Description of Operation

6.3

Blockings

Operation of the Regulator can remain blocked for a series of conditions.

6.3.1

External Blocking

1RTN has a Digital Input that, when active, keeps the Regulator Operation blocked.

6.3.2

Internal Blocking

Blocking Due to Voltage

The operation of the Regulator will be blocked when the measured voltage is below the
Blocking due to Undervoltage (cf HMI option Regulation Settings Blocking Limits). The
blocking condition will be reset with the voltage restoration.

Blocking Due to Current

Regulator operation will be blocked when the measured current is above the Blocking due to
Overcurrent Setting (cf HMI option Regulation Settings Blocking Limits). The blocking
condition will be reset when the current falls below the blocking setting.

Blocking by Forcing Extreme Tap

While being on the Minimum or Maximum Tap, if voltage changes in such a way that an Order
to Lower or Raise Tap respectively would be expected (Voltage /Tap Direct Ratio), the
Regulator will not give that order because it goes before to Blocking Status forcing Extreme
Tap. The unique way of going out of the block is what produces a reverse order (if the
Regulator is set on the Minimum Tap, a reverse Order to Raise Tap, and, if it is set on the
Maximum Tap, is give an Order to Lower Tap). The Regulator will also go out of the Blocking
State and send simultaneously an Order to Change Tap.

Blocking for Internal Failure

In models with Tap Signalling the commands are supervised by the Tap Monitoring Function, in
such a way that the operation command is carried out in two consecutive commands, i.e, if once
a Command Failure Time has elapsed without change taking place, contact of internal failure
from the time of the first Order to Change Tap, the corresponding change has not been
produced, a new command is sent, and if the Operation failure time has elapsed once again
without Tap Change, an Internal Failure Contact is activated. In that case, the equipment goes
into Manual Mode. The way to go out of this blockage is to go back in Automatic Mode.
Tap Change has to occur in a single jump; i.e. the equipment waits for the Tap to Change to an
immediately superior order if the Command is to Raise Tap, or to the Tap immediately inferior if
the Command is to Lower Tap. If that way Tap Change does not occur, the Change of Tap is
not recognized and the Contact of Internal Failure is activated.

Blocking without Taps or Simultaneous Taps

In models with Tap Monitoring and Signalling, the equipment remains blocked during a time that
can be set (Maximum Time without Active Tap), there is no Active Tap, or when, during
another settable time (Maximum Simultaneity Time) more than one tap are active
Simultaneously.
To move out of Blocking Mode, it is enough to activate a unique tap if blocking has occurred for
a Tap Failure, or deactivate all the taps less on if blocking has occurred for an excess of taps.

Chapter 6. Description of Operation

6.4

Operation Control

In models with Tap Monitoring, 3 additional settings are available for the control of Tap Change
operation following an Order to Raise or Lower Tap. Those settings are as follows:
-

6.5

Operation Failure Time: time elapsed from the moment of the first Order to Change
Tap to the second order when the corresponding change has not occurred. If the
Operation Time Failure has elapsed again, after the second order without any change
produced, an Internal Failure contact is activated.
Maximum Simultaneity Time: time elapsed from the moment the equipment detects
various active taps to the moment it goes in Simultaneous Tap Block Status.
Maximum Time without Active Tap: time that occurs from the time the equipment
does not detect any active tap to the moment it goes in the State of Block without
Taps.

Change Set Value

The Set Value can be modified by three different ways:


-

By accessing the settings database through the standard Change Settings menus.
By using the front push buttons R/S (Raise Set Value) and L/S (Lower Set Value).
Each push modifies the Set Value in a 1% increment. To perform this operation, the
equipment should be in Local Mode.
Through the Raise and Lower Set Value Digital Inputs. Each activation impulse results
in a modification of 1% in the Set Value. To perform this operation, the equipment
should be in Remote Mode and with the Remote Change of Set Value Setting Active.

Whenever the Set Value reaches one of the limits of its range, through any of the indicated
ways, the Extreme Position of the Set Values Signal is activated.

6.6

Local / Remote Control

The Local / Remote Status is applicable to the Set Value Modification and can be controlled by
means of the L/R button in the front of the equipment. Every time it is pressed, the equipment
changes from one status to the other.

6.7

Automatic / Manual Control

The 1RTN equipment can be set to Automatic or Manual, by means of the A/M button in the
front part, the Digital Inputs or through the Communications Subsystem: Switch to Automatic
and Switch to Manual.

Chapter 6. Description of Operation

6.8

Manual Operations

Through the 1RTN manual Commands to Raise and Lower the Tap can be executed by
means of:
1. The arrow keys (Raise Tap) and (Lower Tap) of the local keyboard.
2. The Communications Subsystem.
To do so, the equipment should be in Manual Mode and the Operation Enable Setting should
allow every options.
In models with Tap Monitoring, the equipment verifies if the sent Order to Change Tap has
been executed.
The Order to Change Tap is a three-second duration impulsion at the time when the command
sent the time of Operation Failure Time (Regulation Setting: Operations Control Operation
Failure Time). If when this time has elapsed, no Change Tap indication has been received, a
three-second Tap Change impulsion is sent again and the Operation Failure Time starts
again. When this time has elapsed, if the Tap has not changed, the operation failure message is
displayed and the Regulator goes in Internal Failure Blocking Mode. The Tap Change Output
impulsion activates the signal to Raise or Lower Tap, depending on the case, that is normally
assigned to a LED indicator to each of the Order to Change Tap.

6.9

Tap Monitoring and Signalling (1RTN-D and 1RTN-E)

The 1RTN-D equipment incorporates a board with thirty Digital Inputs to monitor the
Transformer Tap Status.
The model 1RTN-E comes with a circuit board of six Digital Inputs, so that when energizing
these inputs in a concrete way and using a combination of circuits, the Status of the Tap
Transformer has been signalled. Each tap is expressed in BCD format codes of six Digital
Inputs as indicated in the table below:

The Tap Monitoring and Signalling function indicates the Transformers Tap number. This
value can be consulted from the display in the front of the equipment, from its communications
ports or by means of an analog output provided for that purpose. It also generates an External
Tap Signal when the tap reaches any of the range limits. Associated to that function there is a
setting which establishes the Number of Taps.

Organization of Event Record


The Event Record keeps a list of the last 100 events generated, where new events replace the
oldest events. The saved information in each of the records includes:
-

Local and Parallel current and voltage values measured in the moment the event was
generated.
Date and time of the generation of the event.

The management of the event recorder is optimized so that simultaneous events generated by
the same function are not stored in different records and they occupy one position only in the
event memory. However, if the events were not simultaneous, two different records would be
stored. Simultaneous events are those that occur separated by an interval of less than 1 ms,
which is the time resolution of the recording function.
It is possible to mask unneeded events or those events without importance for the study of
protection behaviour. Event masking can be done only through ZiverCom communications
software, and is available in the General Settings menu.
Important: It is convenient to mask those events which could be generated in excess,
given that the record could be filled (100 events) with these and erase other previous
events that are more important.

Consulting Records
The communications and remote protection management program ZiverCom has a completely
uncoded system to consult the event recording. The information will appear separated by each
of the inputs shown in preceding table.

Voltage History Log

This function is intended to record the evolution of the load that flows in the point where the
equipment is installed. To do so, a sampling of the three currents is taken each second and the
average value is calculated in the interval defined as Averaging Calculation Time Interval, which
value can be set between 1 and 15 minutes.
At the end of the recording period, called the Data Record Interval, which is adjustable between
1 minute and 24 hours, the maximum value retained from each Averaging Calculation Time
Interval is entered in the Voltage History Record.

Figure 6.4:

Voltage History Log Diagram.

For each TM window a value for VM that corresponds to the average value is obtained. In each
TR interval a maximum value of all the computed VM is taken. The voltage profile of the current
in preceding figure will provide the following record.
The available memory for the History Record is the typical RAM, with a capacity corresponding
to 168 values (equivalent to 7 days in intervals of 1 hour). With the goal of adapting the memory
use to the application of every user, the Days of the Week and Hours Trip can be enabled
within the defined days (the same interval schedule for all days) in addition to those that do not
register a value.
Access to the information in the Voltage History Record recording is accomplished through the
sequence: Information - Records - Voltage History. The previous sequence leads to the first
record (the oldest one). To access the rest of the records and move forward and backward use
the shift arrows. Once the last record has been reached a new move forward will cause the
following message to be displayed in the screen: LAST RECORD. At any moment pressing
ESC you have access to a screen where the option to reset (delete) the Current History Record
and all the previous ones is allowed by using the function keys R/T (YES) and L/R (NO). The
simultaneous reset of all the records is accomplished when reaching the last one and using
ESC key as described. Associated to the Voltage History Record there is a Demand function
which stores the maximum value stored since the last reset. Access to this information can be
made through the sequence: Information Metering - Maximum Voltage. In the Demand
screen there is an option to reset the Demand value by using the function keys R/T (YES) and
L/R (NO).

The measuring and logic functions generate a series of Logic Output Signals during terminal
unit operation. Each of these signals has either a True or False value and this status (or its
negation by using the not input (s) to the OR and AND logic gates) can be used as an input to
either of the combinational logic gates shown in the following figure.
1RTN models are provided with two blocks, each one with eight possible input signals. One of
them is assigned to the OR (any signal activates the output) logic operation and the other to the
AND (all signals have to be activated to activate the output) logic operation. In turn, an OR or
AND operation can be carried out between these two blocks. To the result of this operation, can
be applied the option to produce a pulse signal or not, in the following manner:
Without Pulses: setting the pulse timing at 0, the auxiliary contact output is active while
the signal that has activated it lasts.
With Pulses: once the auxiliary contact output has been activated, it maintains itself the
set time independently from the fact that the signal which generated it becomes not
longer active or stay active during a longer period.

The available keypad keys and Alphanumeric Display keys and their functions are described on
the following pages.

Keypad
Confirmation Key
The ENT key is used to confirm an action: after a selection has been made, after
editing an adjustment or to move forward the list of records. After finishing an
operation (selection, change settings, information, etc.) press ENT again to return
to the previous screen.
Escape Key
The key ESC is used to exit a screen if the user does not wish to make a
modification to the setting or if you merely looked at a screen for information. In
either case pressing this system key returns the user to the previous screen.
Display Selection Keys
The selection keys advance or go backwards, to one of the existing options within
a menu or submenu. When there are more than four options within a menu, in the
lower right hand corner of the display appears an arrow () indicating the other
options. These options can be reached by using the key, which allows the
display of the other options. Appearing then in the upper right hand corner of the
display, is an arrow () that indicates the existence of the first options.
The key is also used to erase numbers within a setting when making
modifications. This function is only needed when changing a setting.
The keys included in the keyboard will be used, by default, as RAISE TAP
or LOWER TAP, respectively. Naturally, these keys will only be active when
the system is in Manual Mode.
In the model with Tap Position Reading (1RTN-D), the Raising Tap or
Lowering Tap LED, depending on the operation, will blink while the Tap
Position Reading mechanism does not detect a Tap Change. During that time,
pressing any operation key will be useless.
In this case an operation failure can be detected since the feedback from the real
position of the tap is available. If during the time defined as operation failure no
change in the Tap Position is received, the corresponding module will send an
operation failure signal to the HMI: OPERATION FAILURE PRESS ESC
Contrast Key
Pressing this key gives the screen that allows the adjustment of the contrast for
the display. With the selection keys () modify the contrast value: larger value =
more contrast.

General

Improper handling of electrical equipment is extremely dangerous; therefore, only skilled and
qualified personnel familiar with appropriate safety procedures and precautions should work
with this equipment. Damage to equipment and injury to personnel can result when proper
safety precautions are not followed. The following general safety precautions are provided as a
reminder:
High magnitude voltages are present in auxiliary supply and metering circuits even after
equipment has been disconnected.
Equipment should be solidly grounded before handling or operating.
Under no circumstances should the operating limits of the equipment be exceeded
(auxiliary voltage, current, etc.).
The auxiliary supply voltage (AC or DC) should be disconnected from the equipment
before extracting or inserting any module, otherwise damage may result.
The number, the type and the specific characteristics of the acceptance tests are model
dependent and are detailed in the following table.

Voltage, Current and Reactive Current Metering Test
Regulation Test
Digital Inputs, Outputs and LEDs Test
Communications Test

Accuracy

The results obtained in electrical testing greatly depend on the Accuracy of the measuring
instruments and test source signals (Power Supply Voltage, AC Currents, and AC Voltages).
Verification of the information specified in the Technical Characteristics section of the manual
can only be achieved using test equipment in nominal reference conditions with tolerances as
specified in the standards UNE 21-136 and IEC 255.
The absence of harmonics (according to the rule <2% distortion) is particularly important since
they can affect the internal measurement of the equipment. For example, if we indicate that this
equipment is made of non-linear elements, you will see a difference in 1Aac before the
existence of harmonics, and after. The measurement differs between cases.
To make the Accuracy more precise we realize the test will depend as much on the instruments
used for the measuring as the sources used. Therefore, the tests done for secondary equipment
are useful simply for comparison of the equipments function and not its Accuracy.

Preliminary Inspection

Examine the following aspects to conduct the Preliminary Inspection:

8.3

The relay is found in perfect physical condition, all of the parts are securely attached
and no assembly fasteners are missing.
The model numbers and specifications agree with the equipment order.

Isolation Test

During Isolation Tests, if the integrity of the external cable harness is to be checked, remove the
connectors from the equipment. This will avoid possible damage to the connectors if the test is
not performed properly or if a short exists in the harness. Isolation Tests have already been
performed at the factory.

Common Mode

Short-circuit all of the terminals of the unit except terminal 83; 84; 141; 142; 145 and146 for the
equipments with Tap Monitoring, and except terminal 83; 84; 141 and 142 for the equipments
without Tap Monitoring. Short-circuit also any other already wired terminals (connections to
external units or internal drivers). Then apply 2,000 Vac, during 1 min., between the
interconnected terminals and metal case.

Between Groups
Make the following groups of terminals. Apply 2,000 Vac, during 1 min., between each pair of
the numbered groups. (*) For the groups 141-142 and 145 146, apply only 1000Vac for 1 min.

Verification of Regulator

8.5.1

Automatic / Manual

No current nor voltage will be applied during this test.


Apply a (200 ms) pulse to IN-5 input (programmed as Switch to Automatic Mode, Regulator
in Service) and verify that the equipment turns to AUTOMATIC Mode. LED for AUTOMATIC
lights up and the MANUAL one turns off.
Apply a (200 ms) pulse to IN-7 input (programmed as Switch to Manual Mode, Regulator out
of Service) and verify that the equipment turns to MANUAL. The LED for Automatic will turn
off and the Manual one will light up.
Repeat this test sending SWITCH TO AUTOMATIC and SWITCH TO MANUAL commands via
communications subsystem.

8.5.2

Verification of Regulator Activation

Whenever a Command Raise or Lower Tap is sent, we will check that the LED to Raise or
Lower the Tap lights up for 3 seconds.
In models with Tap Monitoring and Signalling, this operation can be carried out twice; i.e. if from
the moment the Order to Change Tap has been given, the Operation Failure Time has
elapsed and that change has not occurred, the LED to Raise/Lower Tap light lights up again for
three seconds. If again, the Operation Failure Time passes (from the moment the LED lights
up) and the Tap Change has not occurred, the equipment switch to the mode Blocking for
Internal Failure and to Manual Status.
In models without Tap Monitoring, the Command to Raise or Lower Tap can be sent an
indefinite number of times until the voltage is within the range. Time elapsed between
commands is the Time Delay when the Fast Reverse Power Voltage has not been reached. If
that voltage has been reached, the first order would be given in an immediate way while the
time interval between successive commands is 12 seconds.

8.5.2.a

No Current (Insensibility Rate)

Apply only a Vm voltage. Calculate the value of the deviation using formula (8.1), being Vc the
set target value: As there is no current Vd= Vc .

DV(%) = Vd (%) Vm (%)

(8.1)

Check that if the calculated deviation is lesser than the set Insensibility Rate, the voltage is
WITHIN RANGE. If, on the contrary, the deviation is greater than the Insensibility Rate, the
voltage is OUT OF RANGE. It is important to take into account that voltage measurement
accuracy is 0.5%.
For example, if Vd =110 Vac and the Insensibility Rate is 1%, the equipment when starting
from 110 Vac will be out of range before reaching 111.7 Vac or 108.3 Vac.

8.5.2.b

With Current (Current Compound)

This time apply also a Local Current, in addition to voltage and calculate again the new Desired
Value for the calculation of the deviation using the following formula, taking into account that the
current and voltage metering accuracy is 0.5%:

Vd (%) = Vc (%) + K c (%)

Im
In

(8.2)

Calculate now the value of the deviation using the formula (8.1), with Vd as indicated in 8.2.
Check that if the calculated deviation is less than the set Insensibility Rate, the voltage is
WITHIN RANGE. If, on the contrary, the deviation is greater than the Insensibility Rate, the
voltage is OUT OF RANGE.
For example, for Vn = 110 Vac, n=5A, Insensibility Rate is 1%, Vsetpoint =110, K=5% and
Applied Voltage = 5A, the modified Set-point Value is: 105% (115.5Vac). Starting from 100.1
Vac, the equipment will be OUT OF RANGE before reaching 117.3 Vac or 113.7 Vac.

Modification of Current Compound

Check that when activating input IN#1 (67-68), Current Compound Kc really doubles its value.
Therefore, in the previous example, with a Kc = 2.5% the equipment will be OUT OF RANGE
before reaching 117.3 Vac or 113.7 Vac.

8.5.2.c

With Current (Current and Reactive Compound)

Apply now a remote current in addition to local current, and calculate again the new desired
value for the calculation of the deviation using the formula (8.3), taking into account that current
and voltage metering accuracy is 0.5% and 3 for the angle between currents and voltage.
For this test, input IN#8 (77 78) has to remain active.

Vd (%) = Vc (%) + K r (%)

I r
0,1 I n

(8.3)

with I M = I M sen( M 150 ) I R sen( R 150 )


Calculate now deviation value using formula (8.1), with Vd as indicated in (8.3).
Check that if the calculated deviation is lesser than the set Insensibility Rate, voltage is
WITHIN RANGE. If, on the contrary, the deviation is greater than the Insensibility Rate, the
voltage is OUT OF RANGE.
For example, for Vn = 110Vac, n=5A, Insensibility Rate is 1%, Vsetpoint =110, Kcurrent=5%,
Kreactive =5%, Im = 1A/0 (local current), IR=1A/180, the modified Set-point Value is: 91%
(100.1 Vac). Starting from 100.1 Vac, the equipment will be OUT OF RANGE before reaching
101.6 Vac or 98.6 Vac. In this example, the maximum Set-point Value has to be 10% or
greater, if it were a lesser value, the modified Set-point Value would be reduced.

8.5.2.d

Time Delay

To check the Order Raise/Lower Tap activation times, the equipment has to be in Automatic
Mode.

Lower Tap

In this test, we measure the elapsed time from the moment that the voltage is connected until
the Command to Lower the Tap is sent. Apply such a voltage as to generate a Command to
Lower Tap.
Calculate the theoretical Time Delay, using the following formula:

TDelay =

FT 30 GI
DV

(8.4)

Where |DV| is the value calculated using formula (8.1) with Vd the Set-point Value if there is no
current, the value corresponding to formula (8.2) if there is Local Current or current
corresponding to formula (8.2) if there is Local Current or current corresponding to formula
(8.3), if there is Local and Remote Current. For this calculation, metering accuracy value has to
be taken into account.
For example, for Vn= 110 Vac and In = 5A the following settings are used:
VSETPOINT=100 KC=5%

GI=1%FT=5s

Reverse Power Voltage = 120%

A 120 Vac voltage and a 5 Aac Local Current are applied and the activation of contacts 29 31
or 33(34) 35(36) is tested. In this test, it is considered that the Ratio Tap/Voltage is direct.
The theoretical time you get from the previous equation is 36.7s., but considering voltage and
current metering accuracies, the maximum acceptable ranges for the measure of such time are
32.18s and 42.61s.

Raise Tap

In this test we measure the elapsed time since the voltage is connected until the Command to

The test is carried out in the same way as in the case of lowering tap, except that in this case
the terminals connected to the time stopping contact will be terminal 21-23 or 25(26)-27(28).

Apply rated voltage, appropriate for the model. At this time, the In Service LED should be lit.
Apply rated voltage to the Contact Input connectors 67-68, 69-70, 71-72, 73-74, 75-76, 77-78,
22-24 and 30-32 (+) / 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 24 and 32 (-). Select from the information menu the
inputs status screens (refer to Chapter 7 Alphanumeric Keypad and Display) and verify that
both signals are ON. Disconnect the test probes and verify that both signals are OFF.
The Raise/Lower Tap contacts are checked in this regulation test.
To check Auxiliary Outputs, its activation will have to be generated depending on how they have
been programmed. In the case where they do not have any configuration, outputs can be
programmed as physical input activation. At the same time as inputs are being tested, activation
of the output contacts AUX-1 AUX-7 is also checked.
Press the key to scroll through the screen sequence until the screen LEDS is reached. Then,
press the key for 2 seconds and verify that all the LEDs illuminate. Release the key and
verify that all the LEDs turn off.

Communication Test

To proceed with the communications test it is necessary to power the unit with nominal voltage.
At this moment the In service LED should be on.
Set the communications to 4800 bauds using the keypad in the Communications Configuration
Menu (refer to Chapter 7 Alphanumeric Keypad and Display).
Connect to the unit by means of the front port with a DB9 male cable. Synchronize the time in
the ZiverCom program. Disconnect the unit and wait for two minutes with the unit
disconnected. Power up the unit once again after the time has passed, and connect with the
unit using the back port. Lastly, put on the ZiverCom program and test that the hour is shown
correctly.
